Volume 9: Molten Mine Chapter 410: Technological Explosion
"Ye Yan told me that the rematch will adopt a completely new competition system, but he doesn't know what it will look like ." Ke Lan shrugged helplessly and walked to the freezer. "Who drank up the fat otaku happy water? The stock I just replenished yesterday is gone again today?"
He turned around and saw Layton pointing his finger at the hound, and the hound also pointing his finger at Layton.
At the feet of these two guys, there was a pile of empty cans.
"You two, fill up the freezer for me with your own wallets!" After saying that, Ke Lan turned around and walked back to her office.
However, as soon as he opened the door, he found that Ze Luo had stood up from the sofa, put the tablet aside, and held the glass he often used in his hand.
"You want that carbonated drink called Coke?" she asked.
"Huh? I originally wanted to drink it, but they drank the last can as well." Ke Lan replied.
"The formula of this carbonated beverage is very simple, and the molecular structure is not complicated. I can simulate it." After Ze Luo finished speaking, a stream of dark brown clear liquid flowed out from her fingertips and fell into the glass. Ke Lan could even see bubbles of varying sizes rising from the bottom of the cup and bursting one by one on the liquid surface.
"..." The corners of his mouth kept twitching, and his whole face began to twitch as if he had facial paralysis.
"Here, Coke." Ze Luo handed the cup to Ke Lan.
"This Coke... was 'made' by you... I mean... you used part of your body... to 'simulate' it?" Ke Lan asked stutteringly.
"Yeah." Ze Luo nodded, "But at the molecular level, it is no different from the Coke you drink."
"If I drink it, wouldn't that be the same as eating a part of your body? This is a bit strong, isn't it?" Ke Lan shook her head like a rattle. "No, I'm not a pervert. I won't drink it even if you kill me."
"I have cut off the connection between me and this cup of liquid. Now it is just Coke." Ze Luo continued, "After you drink it, the nutrients and water in it will be absorbed by your mouth, stomach and intestines. The rest will be stored in the bladder after being filtered by the kidneys and excreted from the body as urine. As for the carbon dioxide , it will escape from your anus and mouth, which is also burping and farting."
When she said this, her tone was like that of a commentary machine without any emotion. Even when she talked about farting, there was no change in her expression.
"No... still no, can you still take this... uh, this cup of 'Coke' back?" Ke Lan flatly refused.
"Okay." Ze Luo picked up the cup and drank the Coke that she "made" herself.
"Um... I have a question." Watching her put down the glass, Ke Lan said cautiously.
"What?"
"Do you need to obey the law of conservation of mass and the law of conservation of energy when you simulate these things?" Ke Lan asked. He checked the books that Ze Luo had read, including the complete set of physics textbooks for Ark's compulsory education.
"For the former, the mass of this cup of Coke is 149.63 grams. When I separated it, my own mass also decreased by 149.63 grams. However, I can replenish these lost substances from the outside world through various means, such as human eating behavior." Ze Luo continued to answer in a calm, declarative tone. "But for the latter, the concept in human literature is wrong. When this theory was proposed, humans had not yet discovered the existence of materialized spiritual power, so the theoretical framework is incomplete."
"Have you simulated anything else? Like...like...a hydrogen bomb?"
"Yes, but the materials and energy required are enormous." Ze Luo nodded, "It's like asking me to use 100 million tons of TNT explosives to make hydrogen bombs with a TNT equivalent of 100 million tons, and in this process, losses are inevitable."
"But you can do it...right?" Ke Lan suddenly found it difficult to breathe. How could this thing be a biological weapon made by the Alpha civilization... She was clearly a humanoid universal printer. As long as there were sufficiently detailed analysis diagrams and materials, she could even create a second ark!
Ke Lan couldn't imagine what would happen if they failed to interrupt the ceremony and let the puppet-like Ze Luo fall into the control of the heretic sect...
"Don't use this ability unless it's an emergency." Ke Lan said to Ze Luo seriously, "If you want to experience life as a human, you should treat yourself as an ordinary human. An ordinary human cannot have such an ability... The only one who has this ability is..."
Ke Lan originally wanted to say monster, but then he changed his mind and realized that even a monster couldn't have such ability.
Although he is an atheist, he has to admit that only the concept of "God" is most appropriate here.
"In short, if you want to live a normal life, you have to hide these abilities. If they are discovered by outsiders, I'm afraid... No, not afraid, but definitely - we definitely won't be able to stay on the Ark."
"I saw a book saying, 'Humans are always full of curiosity and fear about unknown things.'" Ze Luo nodded, "I understand."
"Whether it's curiosity or fear, it's easy for people to lose their minds, so we have to try to avoid this situation." Ke Lan sighed, "Everything must be done step by step. History has proven this point countless times."
Not only human history, he even suspected that the disappearance of the Alpha civilization might be due to taking too big a step and accidentally hitting the balls.
Although the Alpha civilization is several levels higher than human civilization, in the eyes of the top civilizations, it is still just a "mortal". Using the power of mortals, trying to interfere in the "realm of gods" often results in disastrous consequences.
"But, haven't there been several technological explosions in human history? Judging from the records in those documents, these technological explosions not only did not bring destruction to mankind, but instead greatly improved the quality of human life..."
This time, before Ze Luo finished speaking, Ke Lan interrupted her.
"That's because the explosion wasn't powerful enough, far from it. A hydrogen bomb might be enough to destroy a metropolis, but it can't wipe out an entire race... But if the sun exploded, the entire Earth would be completely wiped out, without even the slightest trace left."
