The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 634 Energy Freedom?

"I want to follow and see what Dr. Xie wants from Mr. Zhang, but there's a high chance that we'll be discovered. Brother Duan, do you have any good ideas?"

Fu Weijun sat in a wheelchair and watched Xie Yanshan and Zhang Su leave the parking lot talking and laughing, his eyes full of longing.

Duan Wuhu was still packing up. He rolled his eyes after hearing Fu Weijun's words: "Weijun, why are you so ambitious? Why don't you take a break? Look at tonight. If it weren't for Brother Zhang's foresight, we would both have to go down the mountain. We don't know which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. Give your mind a break, okay?"

"Well, I'm just mumbling. I'm counting the days. I'll be closed in a few days. I'm just talking. Come, let me help you adjust the light. Will it be brighter this way?"

Fu Weijun didn't bother and changed the subject.

Zhang Su, who had not walked far, heard the conversation between Duan Wuhu and Fu Weijun and laughed in his heart. He also felt that Fu Weijun was too ambitious.

The two men came to the dark mouth of the mountain stream. Zhang Su turned on the flashlight. Due to the terrain, this area was hardly affected by the shock wave. It was the same as it was during the afternoon training.

"We only come here for training, and we usually only wander around here when we're lucky. How is it? Is it open and hidden enough?"

"Very good, very good. This place is really nice, secluded and sheltered from the wind."

Xie Yanshan praised casually, and then continued: "After you left at noon today, I immediately started testing this cubic crystal. The first item was fire..."

"Ah! Fire! Don't use fire carelessly!"

Zhang Su was shocked, just like Zhao Erhu was shocked when he heard Pang Qingyun say he didn't want military pay, and he directly interrupted Xie Yanshan's speech.

The Venom zombies exploded just a few hours ago. The earth-shaking noise is still fresh in our memory and we are still in shock. But here they are actually using fire to test the zombies' energy source. How audacious!

"You should know what happened tonight with the explosion, right?"

Zhang Su stepped forward and asked seriously with a frown on his face.

Xie Yanshan nodded: "I know, I know, it should be the venomous zombies that we dealt with before that exploded. Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I know my limits..."

Sensing Zhang Su's panicked and serious tone, he explained: "I heated the crystal very gently, and observed its activity at all times during the process. As the temperature increased, I concluded that the black crystal was fire-resistant. In short, it is not afraid of flames, and..."

After that, he took out a large pair of tweezers from his pocket, picked up the black crystal from the ziplock bag, and then took out a lighter.

"Mr. Zhang, turn off the flashlight. Come, I'll give you a big surprise."

"We agreed that it must be a surprise, not a shock!"

Zhang Su turned off the flashlight and watched Xie Yanshan's operations. He understood what he was going to do and thought that he would not joke with his own life.

Snapped.

Xie Yanshan lit a lighter, and a small flame several centimeters high rose from the lighter, jumping and twitching. The faint arc of light enveloped the two of them, and blurry shadows were reflected on the ground.

After the flame stabilized, Xie Yanshan used tweezers to move the black crystal onto the flame.

During the whole process, Zhang Su's muscles were tense. However, less than two seconds after the black crystal was placed on the flame, his expression froze, and he tensed his legs and kicked hard, jumping out three or four meters away!

Whoosh.

A cluster of flames half a person's height rose from the black crystal. The dark blue flames were charming and the scorching heat was overwhelming.

"Hahaha, Mr. Zhang, look, isn't this a surprise? More than a surprise, it's a miracle, right?"

Xie Yanshan stretched out his hands and tilted his head back, trying to stay away from the heat source. The light made the smile on his face look very strange, and his emotions seemed abnormally excited.

"This...a flame magnifying glass?"

Zhang Su didn't need to get too close, he could see it very clearly. The flame of the lighter was roasting the black crystal, but unlike usual flames that would spread out when sprayed to the bottom of the pot, the flame of the lighter was directly absorbed by the black crystal, and then a large cluster of flames emerged from the black crystal.

"That's right, hahahaha, can you believe it? This is actually a flame enhancement device. Mr. Zhang, take another look!"

Xie Yanshan obviously had not finished demonstrating yet. He carefully turned the black crystal. As the angle of contact between the crystal and the flame above the lighter changed, the size and color of the flame above the crystal also changed!

"This is the smallest state, and the temperature is also the lowest!"

As he spoke, the flame above the crystal shortened to one foot in height, slightly shorter than an adult's arm. The diameter of the tail of the flame was no more than the size of a noodle bowl, and its color was light red.

"I'm going to adjust the angle now and move along this axis... Sorry."

During the demonstration, the lighter in Xie Yanshan's hand went out. It might be due to over-scaling protection and could not be lit.

"for you."

Zhang Su took out his lighter and handed it to Xie Yanshan.

Relighting the lighter, Xie Yanshan continued, "Point this edge at the flame. Look, the color has changed. This kind of flame is not good. It's too hot."

The black color mixed with white flames looked unique and high-end, but due to the high temperature, it could not even last until the explanation was completed. Xie Yanshan aimed the flat surface of the block at the lighter again, and the black flame turned into light red again.

"The closer you get to the edge, the higher the temperature of the enhanced flame will be. So how do you adjust the size?"

Zhang Su asked curiously.

Xie Yanshan shook his head and smiled, "Each face of the crystal has two axes, X and Y. One adjusts the size, and the other adjusts the temperature. You see, as long as there are different places, sizes, and temperatures, you can combine them at will. The maximum gear can only be displayed at the lowest temperature, otherwise it will burn you."

While explaining, Xie Yanshan held the black crystal and roasted it back and forth on the lighter, and the flame showed a variety of colorful colors. As his voice fell, the flame on the black crystal burned fiercely and expanded to a height of one person, and the thickest part was as thick as a water tank.

Whoosh, whoosh, the flames are booming as if with vitality, releasing a large amount of light and heat!

It couldn't last too long, so Xie Yanshan once again turned the flame to the smallest gear and the lowest temperature, holding it up like a small torch, which looked very sci-fi.

Zhang Su stared at the dancing flames for a long time without saying a word. The reflection of the dancing flame elves was reflected on his toad mirror. About half a minute later, when the flame of the lighter went out again, he suddenly realized, "So, has our camp basically achieved energy freedom?"

Energy is the eternal pursuit of mankind.

Xie Yanshan lit up the flashlight and shone it on the ground, slowly shaking his head and saying, "It's not energy freedom yet. The black crystals only provide a certain degree of enhancement. Since I don't have professional equipment, I can't accurately measure the multiple of enhancement. Roughly speaking, based on the strength and temperature of the flame, the maximum enhancement can reach more than ten thousand times, and even the minimum enhancement is a hundred times."

This is a very conservative estimate given by Xie Yanshan.

"The flame of a small lighter can become so big, and the energy released can expand by tens of thousands of times... Dr. Xie, I don't quite understand. I've heard that nuclear fusion is very powerful. As long as humans master nuclear fusion, they will have inexhaustible energy. Is this thing no different from a nuclear fusion reactor?"

Zhang Su reached out and tried to touch the black crystal. Dr. Xie signaled him that he could take it. Sure enough, it was only slightly warm in his hand, about 30 degrees. It was quite magical.

"Mr. Zhang, there may be some misunderstanding here."

Xie Yanshan smiled and said, "Although I don't have professional equipment to measure, I can be sure that there is still a certain gap between the multiples of black crystal energy enhancement and nuclear fusion. Do you know how many tons of coal energy is equivalent to the energy released by one gram of nuclear fusion fuel? Ten tons! There is a gap of ten million times between one gram and ten million grams."

"Ten million times... No wonder they say energy is free, this technology is amazing!"

Zhang Su was shocked. The energy provided by one gram of fuel was equal to that of 100,000 tons of coal. It was indeed one of the most advanced technologies in human civilization. Unfortunately, it was too late to reproduce it.
