A colossal "gatron" stood proudly in the courtyard.
Its majestic and domineering presence was truly moving.
From the mont Gu Wei stepped out of the car, he couldn’t tear his eyes away.
He gazed intently at the "gatron Transforr" before him, genuinely feeling a sense of shock.
If seen elsewhere, he might have dismissed it as a large model.
However, witnessing it here with Lu Li, he had every reason to believe it was more than just a model.
Gu Wei stared in awe and questioned, "Mr. Lu, is this the large cha you developed?"
Lu Li was preparing to test the cha’s functions.
Hearing the question, he responded with a simple, "Interested in taking a look inside?"
What?
A real large cha?
Though he had anticipated it, hearing the confirmation still shocked Gu Wei.
In general, small private planes are typically about six ters in length.
Regional airliners like the Boeing 737 or Airbus A320 are about thirty to forty ters long.
dium to large airliners such as the Boeing 777, Boeing 747, or Airbus A380 can reach lengths of sixty to seventy-five ters.
And this cha before him?
By estimation, it appeared as tall as a large airliner!
Gu Wei recalled the "No Beef Number One," which stood only three ters tall, but could launch the "World Destroyer" missile with nuclear-like devastation.
This cha, at fifty to sixty ters high, wouldn’t its power be even more terrifying?
Feeling a mix of awe and shock, he quickly replied, "Sure, thank you, Mr. Lu."
As soon as he finished speaking, an entrance opened at the right foot of the cha, revealing sothing resembling an elevator.
Lu Li pointed inside and said, "Co on, let’s go in."
"Alright." Gu Wei responded, following behind as he asked, "How do you control this cha? I didn’t see you use any handheld controls."
Lu Li stepped into the "elevator space" and casually said, "Oh, it’s controlled by a super AI, no need for handheld controllers."
This large cha was generally controlled by artificial intelligence, but it hadn’t been "networked" yet, so Lu Li was currently using energy control.
"Super AI?" Gu Wei asked curiously, "Like the ’Sunday’ in the supercollider base?"
As they spoke, the "elevator doors" swiftly closed.
Soon, lifted by sothing resembling a disc, they quickly moved upward.
Although the speed was fast, it was very stable, making the movent unnoticeable.
"More advanced than ’Sunday’."
Lu Li replied.
The "elevator doors opened again" before them.
He pointed inside what looked like a combat command center and said, "We’re here, go ahead and step down."
While following Lu Li down, Gu Wei observed the interior cabin.
It appeared quite "simple," with only two positions resembling pilot and co-pilot seats and a display screen.
Gu Wei pondered aloud, "The facilities seem simple, how powerful can it be?"
Lu Li sat in the left main pilot’s seat and pointed beside him, "Put on the holographic helt. I’ll take you for a ride in space, and we’ll test the power. Then you’ll know, won’t you?"
"Holographic helt?"
Gu Wei moved to the co-pilot seat and indeed found sothing resembling a motorcycle helt that could envelop the whole head.
Lu Li did not wear the holographic helt. "Yes, this holographic helt allows you to have a 720-degree view of the surroundings of the cha from inside the cabin. The ch’s detection range can reach about a radius of ten thousand kiloters. Even with enough mini reconnaissance aircraft, observing the entire Earth wouldn’t be a problem. Of course, I haven’t equipped this ch with many mini reconnaissance aircraft, just three or four. Actually, with just these three or four mini reconnaissance aircraft, once they reach a certain altitude, they can cover the entire Earth like satellites. Also, the holographic helt has its own oxygen conversion function, allowing us to enter cosmic space without worrying about breathing. The cabin itself has this feature as well, but wearing the helt is a bit safer. It’s an independent system, so it won’t fail to convert oxygen if the cha gets damaged."
By this ti, Gu Wei had already put on the holographic helt.
Sure enough, he could feel the refreshingly pure air entering his nostrils.
However, he didn’t have ti to marvel at the oxygen conversion function.
Because what he saw was even more awe-inspiring.
At this mont, through the holographic helt’s perspective, Gu Wei could observe everything within a radius of ten thousand kiloters.
These scenes felt as though they were embedded in his consciousness, rather than being viewed with naked eyes.
Lu Li advised, "If you want a more detailed look at a specific area, just imagine it in your mind. The holographic helt will receive your brainwaves and imdiately execute the command, zooming in on a particular area for more detailed observation."
"Let give it a try."
Gu Wei attempted to use brainwaves to see the scene in Beijing more than a thousand kiloters away in a straight line.
In the next mont, a miraculous scene unfolded.
Gu Wei actually saw the entire view of Beijing all at once.
Even on a particular street, he could see clearly what the pedestrians were doing!
He took a slight breath and said, "Mr. Lu, how is this long-distance observation achieved?"
Lu Li replied calmly, "It cos with a more advanced satellite function, without the need to launch into space. It’s a function that’s centuries ahead of current technology. I can’t explain it to you all at once; we’re heading to space now, so get ready."
Gu Wei hastily tried to find a seatbelt or sothing similar.
This was experience he had from lifting off in a spaceship.
If an astronaut doesn’t buckle up during the spaceship’s ascent, they will encounter great danger.
Unfortunately, Gu Wei didn’t find a seatbelt, only sensing a slight shake of the inner cabin before seeing through the holographic view that they were shooting towards the sky at an astonishing speed.
During the first ten minutes, this speed wasn’t very fast.
It was just slightly faster than a typical rocket.
However, once they entered space, the speed of the cha suddenly increased, and in the blink of an eye, it shot out an unknown distance.
Gu Wei had an illusion; it seed that with the cha’s flight, the Moon was getting closer than it was earlier.
Seeing this, he was greatly surprised, "Mr. Lu, isn’t the speed of your cha’s flight too fast? What’s its speed per second?"
Lu Li said, "Initially on Earth, the speed wasn’t fast. After entering high altitude, it can reach the third cosmic speed, and in space, it’s three thousand kiloters per second."
The reason the flight speed within Earth’s space is slow is because the cha is relatively large; flying at three thousand kiloters per second would generate massive shockwaves, causing significant destruction around it.
The cosmic space is different, being almost a vacuum, where flying at three thousand kiloters per second is practically unaffected.
Gu Wei took a deep breath, "Three thousand kiloters? Isn’t that about one percent of the speed of light? How much energy is needed to drive this cha?"
Lu Li continued controlling the cha towards the Moon, "The energy needed is huge. Regular energy sources simply cannot suffice, so I installed a matter-antimatter energy converter on the cha. Hmm, this device is sowhat similar to a particle collider but more advanced. It can continuously absorb particles from the outside, collide them to form antimatter, and then annihilate with matter, generating massive energy to supply the cha. In short, this cha is essentially a pseudo-perpetual motion machine."
Gu Wei’s eyes widened in disbelief at such an impressive drive thod for the cha!
"Then..." Gu Wei’s voice was slightly trembling, "Since it can fly at a high speed of three thousand kiloters per second, is the weapons system even more formidable?"
In his mind, he believed this cha could launch a super missile or so energy cannon capable of instantly destroying a city or even an area the size of a province.
Unexpectedly, Lu Li sighed, "I didn’t install any particularly devastating weapons, just a ’cannon’ capable of releasing photon energy."
Gu Wei was dumbfounded, "Huh? It can only release photon energy? Doesn’t that an it has no power? Or even if it does, the power is limited?"
As particles of light, photons theoretically have no energy limit; however, when light is considered as "particles," they are very small and lack the power to destroy the cosmos. The basic components of the human body are molecular atoms, which are very large relative to photons. A photon in comparison to an atom is like a cot to the solar system, as cots can easily traverse the space of the solar system, photons can easily pass through atomic space.
Thus, generally, photons passing through the human body cause no harm.
Because Gu Wei understood this sowhat, he knew the photon energy cannon Lu Li ntioned might not have destructive power.
Then...
Hmm, Gu Wei was once again taken aback.
Lu Li smiled, "This is not an ordinary photon energy cannon; it can release high-energy photon energy rays similar to a gamma-ray burst. If it hits a certain area, the atmosphere there will be destroyed, and the DNA of organisms exposed to it will be damaged, causing them to die in an extrely short ti."
"What!?" Gu Wei was shocked, "High-energy photon energy rays similar to a gamma-ray burst?"
While human technology can create gamma rays, creating high-energy photon rays with the intensity of a gamma-ray burst is beyond current technological capabilities.
Now that Gu Wei heard this news, he was understandably shocked.
Because it ant that if this cha’s "high-energy photon energy" had a wide enough range, or if Lu Li had enough similar chas, they could completely destroy the atmosphere in a very short ti, leaving the entire Earth "unshielded" and exposed to various cosmic rays.
This is undoubtedly more terrifying than any nuclear weapon!
Nuclear weapons can allow a person to die relatively peacefully.
After all, they blow you up in an instant, causing no pain.
But destroying the atmosphere does what?
It would only make humans die in endless pain!
Gu Wei was so frightened that he shivered all over, stamringly asking, "Mr... Mr. Lu, what is the purpose of creating such a terrifying weapon?"
Lu Li looked towards the approaching Moon, sighed softly, and said, "Earth... is about to be destroyed."
With these words, Gu Wei’s face turned deathly pale.
He thought Lu Li ant that this cha was created to destroy Earth!
If soone else were to say this, Gu Wei would scoff, not believing it at all.
But the person saying this was Lu Li, who had been proven by Ugly Country’s aerospace monitoring to at least have the capability of surface destruction!
As a result, Gu Wei was terrified, so scared that even his breathing beca difficult.
He thought to himself, it’s over, this old master has finally decided to destroy Earth!
