The battle had reached its climax, and Lier already had plenty of questions on his mind. For example, why hadn't Muramasa been attacked by the Blackwall?
But now Muramasa had questions too: why hadn't it noticed the Maelstrom ambush?
The miniature signal transmitters it used had been personally designed by Muramasa. They were top-of-the-line, military-standard, multipurpose transmitters. As long as there was enough current, they could cover almost every signal frequency.
And these devices didn't just transmit and receive signals. By using specific wave frequencies to interfere with people's brains, they could also transmit and receive current-
That was right. The most impressive thing about these miniature devices was their terrifyingly high efficiency in transmitting wireless current. Their only side effect was also the very effect they had been designed for: these high-amplitude, high-power electromagnetic waves could have unpredictable effects on the human brains connected to the network.
Of course, Muramasa's partners had already gotten those effects under control. Now, it could use these devices to turn people into cyberpsychos.
But honestly, it didn't understand what cyberpsychosis was.
If it had to say, cyberpsychosis seemed to mesh better with various prosthetics and equipment-
But by comparison, intelligence was absurdly low.
Like this Oddball Muramasa saw riding on its shoulder right now.
Superconducting materials weren't things like copper, iron, and steel, which were fairly stable. Most could only exhibit superconductivity under ultra-high pressure and ultra-low temperatures, and very few had made it out of the laboratory and into practical use.
After extensive engineering tests and iterations, Rheinmetall had successfully found a superconducting material that wasn't quite so "finicky": a hydrogen sulfide with a special structure, H3S.
At an atmospheric pressure of 12 GPa, liquid nitrogen was pumped into the H3S, lowering its temperature to minus 30 degrees Celsius. It would then
