Chapter 403 "Simple and Unpretentious"
"Hmm? President, what do you want to do?"
Lin Wo looked at Mo Lan in confusion. Mo Lan gestured with his hands and said.
"I want to have a big firecracker."
"Big firecrackers?"
"Yes, big firecrackers."
Mo Lan nodded, then pointed at the electromagnetic railgun and said.
"I am not intentionally disparaging your electromagnetic railgun because of your behavior just now. Absolutely not. You can trust me.
To be fair, your electromagnetic railgun is indeed very powerful, and the shells are fired very quickly, in just a moment.
With this power and speed, it would be fatal if it hits. I don't know if it will kill him, but it can definitely hurt a master.
But the prerequisite is that you hit the target, right? You have a fast shooting speed.
That won't hit.
You have strong penetrating ability!
That won't hit.
You're on a straight trajectory.
That still doesn’t hit the target, does it?”
Mo Lan glanced at Lin Wo.
“Because you can’t lock onto a master-level warrior, your thing is hard to aim at.
At least you haven't built the aiming equipment yet, and the corresponding orbital calculation formulas and so on.
Plus, it's bulky and can only be used once. Although it can unleash the power of a seventh-order attack, it can only be used as a backup. It's too unreliable and too impractical on the battlefield, right?"
"You're just being derogatory."
Lin Wo muttered.
"What?"
"It's nothing, you are right."
Mo Lan retracted his threatening look and smiled.
"So I want to get a big firecracker, a big firecracker that can cause fragmentation. Since I can't aim well and can't hit the target, I won't aim and just cause fragmentation.
Well, as long as it can hit the target, it should be called a hit, right?
As long as you hit the target every time, your hit rate is high, right? It is very accurate, right?
Yeah, that's fine."
Lin Wo opened his mouth, shook his head, and threw out all the messy things in his head.
"President, please tell me your thoughts."
Mo Lan smiled.
"This is an idea I had a long time ago, a very simple idea, but due to lack of technology, it has always been just an idea. I thought about it before, and suddenly I found that now I seem to have enough technical strength to complete it."
"How is it so plain and simple?"
Lin Wo asked curiously.
"Let me ask you a question. How do we usually describe the power of a nuclear bomb?
Taking the little boy as an example, 15,000 tons of TNT, is that correct?"
"Yeah, about the same."
Mo Lan licked his lips.
“The technology of nuclear bombs is too difficult for me to understand and can’t handle, but what about TNT?
Theoretically, fifteen thousand tons of TNT is equivalent to the power of Little Boy, right?"
Lin Wo and Lu Bin couldn't help but widen their eyes and looked at Mo Lan in disbelief.
Mo Lan said with a smile.
"Actually, I don't have too many ideas, and I don't want to do too many fancy things.
I just want to make an attempt. I want to see if a first-level fireball spell can unleash the power of a seventh-level fireball spell."
"How can this be achieved?"
Lu Bin had a vague guess in his mind, but he still asked out loud.
“Hey, the idea is very simple. First, use a space box to stretch the space as far as possible.
Then we fill it up, yes, not just one, but fill it up with space boxes, and these space boxes are also filled with space boxes, layer upon layer, until we can't fit any more.
All the space boxes are full, but what should be put in these space boxes?
Fire element. It is a fire element before use. When used, it uses energy to instantly output the structure and transform it into a fireball with explosive nature.
The explosion of a fireball will expand, right? How many times will the fire element that fills up the space box expand when it becomes the same fireball explosion?
I won't explode it. Instead, I will restore the space and compress this fireball that has expanded countless times back.
Not only did it not expand, it was also compressed back. As you can imagine, after the compression was completed, the space box shattered directly, and the fireball in the innermost layer exploded in the penultimate layer.
I estimate that dozens or hundreds of space boxes can be placed in one space box, and the fireballs from dozens or hundreds of space boxes can enter one space box.
If it is compressed again, what do you think will happen?"
Lu Bin blinked and was stunned.
“Suppose that the space inside a space box can hold a hundred space boxes.
One layer means there are one hundred space boxes, which means one hundred compressed fireballs.
Two layers would be 10,000 compressed fireballs, and three layers would be... I don't want to count it, President, how many layers do you want?"
"How many layers? Until we can't fit any more. Anyway, the material of the space box can be made of ordinary stone. We just need to stretch and restore the space before the stone box collapses, and then complete the compression.
Anyway, the ultimate power of this big firecracker depends on the number of layers of our nesting dolls, and there is never an upper limit.
Why, plain and simple enough, right? "
“It’s simple and unpretentious.”
"Are you excited?"
Lin Wo and Lu Bin looked at each other and spoke silently.
"This is such a stupid and boring idea, but... why is it so exciting?"
"Yeah, I think so too."
The three of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
"Lin Wo, you are responsible for manufacturing a sufficient number of instantaneous energy output structures. Your structure is very important. Use red rock as the material. It has high resistance to fire and is relatively cheap. The performance should be acceptable.
The number is tentatively set at 10,000.”
Lin Wo's mouth twitched slightly and he cursed.
"Ten thousand?! I must be crazy to play this with you!"
Lu Bin suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Lu Bin, you optimize the space stretching spell model, and I want to compress the space structure with high enough strength .
Give me the finished product in two days!"
"One day is enough."
"good."
Lu Bin also turned and left. Mo Lan returned to the fifth floor of the Mage Tower and began to study and optimize the fireball model of the first-level spell.
Mo Lan wants to adjust this spell model to the level that is most suitable for playing big firecrackers.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye a day had gone by. Early in the morning of that day, all members of the Mage Association discovered that Mo Lan had issued an unlimited number of tasks.
"Use stones to make space boxes, unlimited quantity?
The price...?! The price is so high?"
The manufacture of space boxes is not difficult at all for the association members. Even the new spell models only require them to familiarize themselves with them.
The difficulty is extremely easy, but in contrast, Mo Lan's price is not too low. Although the price of each item is not high, once they calculate, as long as they work day and night and make a hundred or eighty space boxes, they will make a lot of money, which is equivalent to the work of several weeks or half a month.
The mages of the Mage Association immediately became busy, and space boxes appeared in front of Mo Lan.
