After a brief moment of silence, the General regained his composure and continued to explain to the President.
Humans always have to look forward and learn to adapt to everything. No matter how destructive an anomaly is, humans have to accept it and adapt to its existence.
Obviously, the military had already gotten used to the absurdity of the existence of anomalies.
"It's not just this absurdity, if what I just said can be explained by some baseless conjectures … then there's something else that makes it even more idealistic"
The General continued: "We've tested every machine that can be used for experiments, and without exception, it's able to kill them all!"
"We've tried to destroy a satellite in space on land. We can guarantee that the light from the satellite will be transmitted to the sunglasses, but in reality … it didn't destroy the satellite"
"Because the researchers themselves didn't see the satellite"
"Do you understand now? Mr. President, the condition for destroying a machine isn't the transmission of light, but rather the act of 'seeing'! "
"And this kind of experiment, at first glance, it seems like it's up to the user to determine whether or not the machine will be destroyed, but it's not … because we've used sunglasses on a 2-month-old baby, he can't possibly know whether or not the object is a machine, but the final result is the same as when our soldiers use it …"
"Gorillas, military dogs, lizards … even birds and rats, they're all the same"
"No matter how much the user doesn't want to destroy it, the destruction effect won't be affected by the user's will"
The General continued: "So, we can basically rule out that the thing that destroys the machine is neither matter nor energy …"
The President's voice was hoarse: "Then what is it?"
"It could be … the act itself!" the General answered.
The President suddenly asked: "Then, can't we use it to destroy other countries' important military facilities?"
The General knew what the President was thinking and narrowed his eyes: "How do we destroy it?"
The President replied: "Have you ever tried to use a spy satellite to directly 'kill' another country's aircraft carrier? I know that if the target is seen through the screen, the machine on the screen will be destroyed "
"But didn't you say it's the act? Then, when the TV and computer are destroyed, will the machine on the screen also be destroyed? "
The General shook his head and laughed.
"Of course it won't be destroyed, Mr. President, that's a very naive idea. Think about it carefully, if you can see the machine in the video through the screen, then what's on the screen?" the General asked.
The President fell into deep thought.
The General said, "We did try that. Unfortunately, it only destroyed the computer and did not destroy the machine thousands of miles away, even though the image of the machine had been seen."
"In fact, if we only see part of a piece of machinery, such as the rear of a car."
"Then, it will also be scrapped, but the parts that were inexplicably damaged will all be concentrated on the visible half. The front of the car will not be damaged."
"Only when you see the car in its entirety will it be completely destroyed from the inside out."
"Therefore, the target seen through the television will only be seen as a projection, and the real body will not be damaged."
At this point, the general continued, "Of course, it's still very useful. We can send someone to wear this pair of sunglasses. As long as it's well hidden and used properly, it can easily turn a city back thousands of years."
"Is there a price?" the President asked.
The general smiled bitterly. "Rather than saying it's a price, it's better to say it's a side effect. There are three main ones."
"First, it is uncontrollable and indiscriminate."
"Secondly, it's easy to destroy because it's just a pair of $50 sunglasses. There are too many ways to destroy it."
At this point, the general paused for a moment.
The President asked, "What's the third side effect?"
The general pulled out a series of photos. On them were people with looks of disgust and even vomiting in disgust. 【】
The President asked, "What's wrong with these people?"
The general said, "Everyone who has used it and destroyed machinery will develop a sense of disgust toward all machinery. Some people even curse a wrench!"
"The more machinery they destroy, the longer they wear it, and the more serious this' mechanical discomfort 'will be! They will not be able to tolerate the existence of machinery around them. Even if we delete all their memories of machinery, it will still be the same! "
"The disgust toward machinery seems to be imprinted in the depths of their souls. Even if they know nothing, they will instinctively run to places without machinery."
"Even if they close their eyes, the sound of the engine, the vibration of the air conditioner, and the wind of the propeller will drive them crazy."
"Those who are seriously ill will vomit, faint, and even go into shock. There will be a huge physical rejection. The most serious case was a test subject who couldn't bear the double psychological and physical torture in a base full of technological products, so he committed suicide. "
"This was also the first time we caught the black man. He was hiding in the wilderness."
The President was shocked: "It's that serious?"
The general shook his head: "It's actually not that serious. Most soldiers with strong willpower can endure it"
"According to statistics, the duration of use is no more than 1 hour, so it won't spread from psychological disgust to physical disgust"
"The one who committed suicide, the duration of use is over 2 hours!"
"Generally speaking, if it's only used a few times, a normal person will be able to endure it. Compared to the other anomaly, the side effect of 'mechanical enemy' isn't even worthy of the word 'price' "
The President took a sip of his coffee: "That's right, you have three anomalies. Other than the Memory Shredder and 'mechanical enemy', what's the other one? "
The general's expression was extremely solemn. He looked around but didn't say anything.
The President hurriedly said: "You can't hide it from me anymore! Such a terrifying thing, the military has to tell me! "
"Mr. President, please have your secretary and your colleagues from the Secret Service leave first, as well as take away all the computers and mobile phones here" the general said.
"Hm? Why? This place is very safe! "the President said.
The general shook his head: "No, in front of anomalies, the White House is not safe. As far as we know, the Foundation has an anomaly similar to the God of the Net, we're most likely being monitored by it right now "
"What?" the President was shocked.
"The Memory Shredder and the sunglasses, the Foundation already knows about them, so it didn't matter just now. But the third anomaly is a true top-secret. We can tell you, but it must be kept absolutely confidential! "the general said.
"Ok … ok …" the President agreed.
The Secret Service was chased out of the office, all electronic devices were taken away, including the President's mobile phone.
They even used powerful interference devices to completely block out the White House's electronic warfare. This made Shao Yuan extremely annoyed.
"Ah, the third anomaly can't be eavesdropped!" Shao Yuan exclaimed.
Bai Ge didn't mind and silently closed his eyes.
Through the item in the General's pants, he could still observe the situation there.
"Mr. President, the third anomaly, we call it the Bose Einstein Butterfly" the General solemnly said.
"Ah?" the President was shocked.
"I'm sorry, but we don't have a picture of it, because it's too dangerous. All light will stop on its body, giving it an absolute black butterfly-like appearance, surrounded by a fog of light, which is a visual effect caused by photons slowly escaping. Its initial size is only 1 cm, but as it absorbs more light, its size slowly increases. If we use a laser on it, its size will rapidly expand, currently it has a wingspan of 38 cm "
"As for its mass, the density of Bose Einstein Condensate is 10 million times thinner than air, so we can't even measure the mass of such a small butterfly, nor will it be affected by air resistance"
Bose Einstein Condensate is a special state that only appears when a substance reaches a temperature of 1 millionth of a degree above absolute zero, where all the atoms are synchronized and have almost no thermal fluctuations.
A substance in this state is the closest to absolute zero, it can even retain light and reduce the speed of light to near zero.
Scientists have already been able to use Bose Einstein Condensate to store photons.
But how could such a substance form a creature?
"The butterfly was first discovered at one of our military bases, where it was attracted by a laser experiment … it can pass through a human body and instantly freeze them to death, killing hundreds of soldiers. In the end, we had to use a gravitational field to capture it" the General sighed emotionally.
The President asked: "Is this butterfly really a Bose Einstein Condensate creature?"
The General replied: "Yes, its unique characteristic is that it will forever remain in Bose Einstein Condensate! There is no way to make it rise even a degree, and any substance it touches will rapidly decrease in temperature "
"It can freeze almost all matter and energy, even light will be frozen"
Hearing that, Bai Ge was shocked.
Another anomaly that defies thermodynamics, but this one is even more terrifying.
Forever maintaining a state close to absolute zero, what kind of concept is that? It will continuously absorb the heat of this universe!
"This is an anomaly that will make the entire universe pay the price for its existence"
"Although it is too small, it won't cause any harm to the universe for at least a few hundred million years"
"Because of that, the first to pay the price will be Earth"
