H1 Particle

"Uh... cough cough, no, I... I didn't say anything."

Upon realizing that he had inadvertently caused trouble for his beloved pet again, Bell awkwardly looked away.

Why did he use "again"?

"Um, senior, you still haven't said why you suddenly called me?"

"Oh, actually it's like this."

With work to do, Penelope had to temporarily suppress her surprise at having been playing games with a "cat" as a teammate and get down to business.

However, after the previous fright, there was no trace of excitement or agitation on her face.

All she wanted to do right now was finish her work quickly and then go online to see if Fina was online. She wanted to give her a good talking-to about why she was so bad at the game!

"Last night, the ' Explorers ' orbiting Neptune detected magical fluctuations on the surface of Neptune."

Through sampling and investigation, researchers isolated a gaseous magical particle from the gas on the surface of Neptune.

This was the first time wizards had discovered a gaseous magical material, and everyone was very excited about it.

By the way, the researchers named this material "H1 Particle."

Penelope explained in a flat, monotone voice, which sounded rather formulaic.

"Oh? Gaseous magic material?"

Upon hearing this, Bell raised an eyebrow in surprise.

While some magical materials can be transformed into a gaseous state after processing, that state is generally very unstable. He'd never heard of a magical material that remained gaseous under normal conditions before, and he was eager to see it.

"Have those H1 Particle been sent back yet?"

Bell asked impatiently.

Yes, but only a very small amount.

Because Neptune's surface is prone to large storms, collecting this particulate matter is extremely difficult.

I spent the whole night collecting just a fist-sized clump.

Having spent so much time together, Penelope certainly knew what Bell meant.

Unfortunately, this time Bell will be disappointed.

There was only a fist-sized ball of gas, not enough for the research lab, so there was simply no extra to give to Bell.

Of course, Bell is the boss after all. If he really wants it, the research lab will still allocate enough to Bell, no matter how unwilling he is.

However, Penelope, who knows Bale well, knows that Bell would not do that.

"All right."

Hearing that there was no way to play, Bell didn't insist.

Since it's already in his bowl, it'll end up in his mouth sooner or later anyway, so there's no need to rush it.

"So, what have you learned so far?"

Bell asked without much hope.

After all, the time is still too short. No matter how outstanding the researchers in the lab are, they still need time to analyze and think.

As expected, Penelope's subsequent answer confirmed Bell's guess.

"Not yet. We only know that even in Earth's environment, these H1 Particle do not undergo changes in morphology or properties, so researchers infer that this substance should be very stable."

Furthermore, some researchers have suggested that the more stable a magical substance is, the more likely it is to release powerful energy when its properties change, thus potentially allowing H1 Particle to be made into bombs or something similar.

"..."

Bell was somewhat speechless.

How could he not know that there was such a dangerous individual in his own laboratory who was so passionate about "art"?

This guy must have a lot in common with Shanna.

"Isn't it said that this material is extremely difficult to collect? Wouldn't it be too wasteful to just blow it up like that?"

It's important to know that transporting matter from distant Neptune back to Earth requires a huge amount of magic power.

Furthermore, collecting materials in Neptune's harsh environment requires a significant amount of magic to protect the Explorers ' safety.

The magic power consumed in all of this, if made into a bomb, could probably blow up a small village.

If bombs made from H1 Particle don't have that level of power, then it's a complete waste of money.

Moreover, deep down, Bell didn't want these precious magical materials to be used to make bombs.

After all, destruction is only one aspect of magic; magic is more adept at creation.

"Since these H1 Particle are so stable, what do you think about making them into magical projections?"

Suddenly, a good idea popped into Bell's mind.

"Magic projection? Does magic projection even require such precious magical materials?"

Penelope looked at Bell with a puzzled expression.

Can't you just create magical projections by waving a Wand?

It has to be said that perhaps it's because she's been spending so much time with Bell that Penelope has started to occasionally indulge in "Versailles-like" behavior.

It's important to know that magical projection involves very precise Magic Transformation operations.

If you're just creating a general outline, then it's not difficult at all.

However, creating a lifelike projection is not something that can be done simply by waving a Wand.

"I'm not referring to the ordinary kind of magical projection."

The projection's existence time is too short, and to materialize it, a large amount of magic power must be continuously consumed.

I was thinking that perhaps we could use H1 Particle to create projections that could last a long time, or even be permanent.

Furthermore, although H1 Particle are gaseous magical materials, since they are named "particles", they must be composed of a large number of tiny particles, right?

So, by simply increasing the density of the particles, it shouldn't be difficult to create a projection with a solid form?

Bell analyzed.

Upon hearing this, Penelope nodded.

Indeed, as Bell said, H1 Particle are composed of countless tiny particles, so they should be able to do what Bell described.

But the question is, what's the point?

Penelope asked her question without hesitation, just as she was thinking about it.

"It's very meaningful!"

Senior, wouldn't you like to have an exciting Canyon War in real life? Or even an even more interesting and magnificent game?

By using projections created from H1 Particle, we might be able to recreate the game world in reality!

Q: What should be done with groundbreaking technological advancements?

A: "Is that even a question? Of course, it's about making games!"

Entertainment is an eternal pursuit of humankind!

Not to mention that Bell is a total shut-in...

"But couldn't we also recreate the Canyon War using Philosopher's Stone?"

Penelope asked, puzzled.

She had previously seen someone on the Magic Web say that they planned to find a remote canyon in reality and create a real-life Canyon War arena.

"Philosopher's Stone are very expensive, you know! Making and maintaining them requires a lot of manpower and resources."

H1 Particle is different. Because it is a gaseous substance, even if it is broken up, it will not affect the particulate matter. As long as the recombination program is set up, it can be reused continuously.

Furthermore, with enough H1 Particle, we could even create a vast game world in reality!

The thought of finding an uninhabited planet and creating a real game world on it filled Bell with excitement.

Perhaps the day he is crowned 'King' is not far off?

Cough cough...

"Anyway, senior, please convey my idea to the research lab and have them verify its feasibility."

"OK."

After exchanging a few more words, Penelope hung up the call impatiently.

Of course, she wasn't in a hurry to convey Bell's request; instead, she was going to settle scores with a certain "noob" with a 0% win rate!
