Did You See That?

Elemental Demi-Plane, within the isolated space of the crystal column group.

A massive ring-shaped object stood within the isolated space of the crystal pillars. Directly opposite the ring was a group of monsters infected by the Filth Light —separated from the ring by a transparent wall of crystal pillars. They ran endlessly within the isolation zone, yet could never reach the boundary.

The researchers working around the ring were filled with apprehension when they saw the monsters covered in ghastly green patterns.

Thankfully, they can't come over! As for the ring they're debugging, it's actually a modified Particle Accelerator.

The ring-shaped object is covered with various electronic components and magnetic field generators, making it look extremely bulky. However, these components are arranged neatly and tightly according to a specific pattern on the ring-shaped object. The ring-shaped object, which is not decorated with protective plates, has a rugged and bold hardcore feel!

Once the high-energy Particle Accelerator was fully commissioned, the engineers quickly evacuated the space inside the crystal column.

Li Yao was outside the crystal pillar cluster, looking at the information on the terminal tablet... but he didn't really understand it.

However, after spending several days with this group of engineers, he also roughly learned some of the parameters.

Therefore, he doesn't need to understand the specific details.

All you need to know is the approximate parameters and whether the environmental assembly parameters are suitable for testing.

I glanced at the parameters above.

After the electromagnetic intensity and the internal environment of the accelerator stabilized, Li Yao picked up the walkie-talkie beside him. "The fifth particle bombardment test is about to begin! We need to assemble and load the Atomic Ammunition!"

"Atomic Ammunition must be loaded!"

Li Yao: "Energy Group Reserve Function!"

"Ready!"

Li Yao: "Testing team, prepare to record!"

"The testing team is in position..."

As orders were issued, all preparations proceeded smoothly under the instructions! Li Yao looked at Mr. Fu Qinghua, who was not far behind him. "Can we begin?"

Fu Qinghua is currently buried behind a bunch of computer screens, rows of dark blue data reflected on his glasses. His expression is very serious, and his gaze keeps shifting between the screens. He occasionally taps the keyboard to modify some parameters, or gives specific commands into the microphone in front of him.

That's right...

The person in charge of this experiment was actually Mr. Fu Qinghua.

All that pretentious posturing from Boss Li was just for show!

The tasks they performed were mostly simple coordination work.

Even curly-haired baboons can do it after training.

And Fu Qinghua...

He is not only an extraordinary person, but also a professor at the University of China University of Science and Technology, a leading figure in the field of physics, and has extremely profound attainments in physics.

Mr. Fu Qinghua seemed very tolerant of Li Yao's playful nature, but he was extremely rigorous when it came to experiments! After adjusting the parameters, he looked up at Li Yao and nodded solemnly, saying, "We can begin!"

Li Yao immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Energy unit, begin charging! Particle acceleration, begin!"

The energy team immediately responded, "Charging in!"

"Buzz!!!"

Despite the various Crystal Pillar Space being sealed off, everyone still felt a heart-pounding tremor emanating from the void! It was the sound of a massive surge of electrical energy instantly flowing through specially designed cables, activating the Circular Particle Accelerator!

As the ring-shaped object within the Crystal Pillar Space began to charge, the space around the ring rippled as if in waves, with concentric circles of distorted ripples emerging from it. The enormous buzzing sound put the test personnel present on high alert!

Actually, the ring-shaped acceleration had already exploded once before! Fortunately, the experiments were all conducted inside the Crystal Pillar Space, so even if an explosion occurred, it would not affect the outside.

However, the power supply cable for the Cyclic Accelerator still needed to be connected from the outside, so when the accelerator exploded, the cable also exploded... causing some damage, but fortunately no one died on the spot.

Afterwards Xiao Sang and Maeve quickly began treating the injured, stabilizing the situation. The shadow cast by that explosion was simply too great! So much so that some research engineers couldn't help but tremble at the sound of it...

However, this time the acceleration within the circular accelerator was remarkably stable! Mr. Fu Qinghua was engrossed in a screen, constantly turning his head to observe the parameters! Finally,

Mr. Fu Qinghua looked up at Li Yao and said, "Lift the blockade!"

Li Yao immediately threw away the walkie-talkie and went to the vicinity of the crystal pillar group, spreading his mental control over the crystal pillar group, and then quickly jumped away!

Joke!

Although this solidified cage of crystal pillars is very sturdy!

Even though the accelerator overload didn't destroy it last time, the shockwaves from the explosion were still terrifying. If Boss Li got too close, his mental state would definitely be affected! So he quickly jumped away after deactivating the barrier!

Inside the Crystal Pillar Space, once the barrier disappeared, the commotion from the accelerator immediately attracted the attention of the infected monsters! They had been busy fighting each other—though their relative positions wouldn't change no matter how they moved—but recently, due to the experiments, there were quite a few infected goblins and test subjects, so the small space was crammed with infected creatures. They could easily grab a similar-looking infected creature and attack it with a simple stretch of their arm...

Yes, that's right.

These infected individuals even retained a sense of community.

Goblin infected will attack infected test subjects—although most of the time they are just delivering food.

But the timid and cowardly goblins have lost their fear! They have even learned to devour their own kind to grow stronger.

If this substance were to leak into the real world, the consequences would be truly terrifying.

This internal strife usually only occurs within their own group. When there are living beings or movements outside the infected area, they will be the first to attack the target!

The usual fighting and devouring was like lion cubs frolicking among themselves in a pride! Only the level of frolicking might be a bit... ferocious? Li Yao returned from his reverie and saw those monsters surging towards the Cyclic Accelerator like a tidal wave!

When they were about fifty meters away from the Cyclic Accelerator, Mr. Fu Qinghua immediately said, "Launch!"

Everyone immediately put on protective sunglasses!

Li Yao was no exception.

The moment he put on his protective sunglasses, a terrifying white light erupted from the Cyclic Accelerator!

In that instant, what everyone saw was like a helium flash; the intense white light could be clearly seen even through specially made sunglasses—only a white light burst forth in the dark vision, like a sharp plasma cutting blade.

The burst of white light did not last long.

After the white light seen through their sunglasses gradually faded, everyone took off their glasses.

Once their eyes adjusted to the surrounding light, everyone saw that the many infected creatures that had been in front of the Cyclic Accelerator seemed to have frozen in place, as if petrified.

The original ghastly green color was now filled with a spiritual glow, and the malevolent infected creatures turned into a pale, lifeless gray.

Even the ineradicable Verdant Matter on their bodies turned into a very pale and light grayish-green substance.

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment.

Suddenly, the sound of continuous keyboard typing rang out. After observing the experimental results, Fu Qinghua, an honest man, quickly activated the detectors in the ring accelerator. As monitoring data was transmitted back from the cable, Fu Qinghua straightened up and let out a long sigh of relief, saying, "Success!"

us,

These strange sources of infection have been successfully killed!

Fu Qinghua's voice was so steady and penetrating, it seemed to resound throughout the entire small Elemental Demi-Plane! Everyone looked at Fu Qinghua, and all they saw on his simple and resolute face was affirmation.

A tremendous cheer erupted from everyone's chest, and the sound waves echoed throughout the Elemental Demi-Plane like boiling water.

They hugged each other and jumped around.

Cheers!

It was as if they had accomplished something truly remarkable.

Li Yao was also a little excited. He walked through the bustling crowd to Fu Qinghua's side.

This honest man did not celebrate like the others. After announcing the news, he buried himself in the equipment room again to confirm the results.

This is Fu Qinghua.

Honest, meticulous, and conscientious.

Li Yao leaned closer and asked, "How are things now?"

Fu Qinghua pointed to one of the screens and said, "Look, the vital activity index, the dynamic monitoring data... all the data are zero, and they've remained unchanged for a while. This means that all bodily functions of the infected have stopped. However, the Geiger Counter shows that there is a significant dose of radiation inside, so we can't go in to observe it yet."

Li Yao nodded. "Yes, yes!"

The data fluctuations and wave charts above looked very complicated, and the various data made him dizzy.

So he didn't understand it at all!

However, all you need to do when the big shot says is nod.

Fu Qinghua looked up and glanced at the cluster of crystal pillars. "Look over there."

Li Yao looked up and saw that after Fu Qinghua operated the control panel for a while, a small launch device appeared on the Cyclic Accelerator...

What does that thing look like? It's like a medieval cannon mounted on a giant ring-shaped spaceship.

It's the kind of cannon that fills the barrel with gunpowder and then shoots out a huge iron ball... except that the Cyclic Accelerator is many times bigger, making it more like a child's toy.

After a series of operations, Fu Qinghua pressed the fire button, and the miniature launcher quickly and sensitively adjusted its angle, then with a "pop," a BB pellet was ejected.

Li Yao: "..."

He watched helplessly as the BB pellet traced a feeble arc and struck the nearest petrified infected! Instantly,

The grayish-green infected goblin crumbled into dust like a sand sculpture.

Upon seeing this, Fu Qinghua exclaimed happily, "Did you see that?"

Li Yao: "Ah..."

Looking at Fu Qinghua's childlike smile, he didn't know how to respond.

After thinking for a moment, Li Yao replied, "I didn't expect... your hobby is quite unique, huh?"

and,

Why would such a high-end, sophisticated ring-shaped particle generator have something like a BB gun launcher on it?

You seemed to have considered everything quite thoroughly when designing this Cyclic Accelerator, didn't you?

First update. There will probably be four 3K chapters tonight, including yesterday's and today's bonus chapters... Of course, there might also be three 3K chapters. I'll do my best to produce them! Hope you all enjoy reading~~ (Also, please call me Xu, the keyboard-grinding, emotionless, Teemo, thank you.)
