So that was why Ye Hao stepped in to smooth things over for him.
"Yeah, I just got impatient for a mont." Elder Zhang took the excuse and climbed down.
"Heh, now that all you senior experts are convinced I'm not spouting pure nonsense, I want to tell you: that laser energy source you obtained is radioactive. It's stable now only because it hasn't been triggered yet. Once that energy source is stimulated, it'll blow up completely. I can't guarantee exactly how powerful it'll be, but it'll definitely be enough to blow this underground base to pieces." Ye Hao said.
"Seriously?" Dong Dong and the others were startled.
"Yeah. From what I can see, that laser energy source seems to have flaws—aning it's still an unstable object. Being stable at the mont doesn't an it'll always stay that way, so you'd better store it properly." Ye Hao warned solemnly.
"Where did you see that from?" Elder Zhang grew more and more curious about Ye Hao. Why did all these bizarre new things seem like everyday stuff in front of Ye Hao?
"A true laser energy source doesn't contain electric current. The current is there only to keep the laser energy constrained inside its vessel." Ye Hao explained.
"Then according to you, if a successful laser energy source doesn't need current to control it, how can it be considered successful?" Elder Zhang was even more confused.
"That's because a successful laser energy source has already been blended with other substances. In other words, that kind of laser energy source is stable and has no deterrent power without a special activation process." Ye Hao said.
"Then what substances do you use to blend it?" Elder Zhang looked at Ye Hao with the attitude of a student unashad to ask, extrely serious.
Hearing this, Ye Hao smiled. This old guy really could put his face aside, huh! Just now he'd been sneering and mocking, and in the blink of an eye he was dropping all pride to fish for information.
"Heh, there are too many things, I can't explain it in a short ti. By the way, can you let see the object that was bearing that laser energy source?" Ye Hao asked.
At that, Elder Zhang looked a bit disappointed and glanced at Dong Dong. Dong Dong gave a subtle shake of his head, then smiled and said, "Of course, I'll take you to see it right now."
Ye Hao smiled and nodded. The glance exchanged between Dong Dong and Elder Zhang didn't escape his eyes.
When Ye Hao saw the carrier that looked like scrap, he frowned. This was yet another new type of tal.
Where on earth did the God faction get so many kinds of tals from?
Seeing Ye Hao frown, Dong Dong asked doubtfully, "Comrade Ye Hao, did you notice sothing?"
"I think the God faction has developed yet another new alloy. This alloy might be able to be compatible with laser energy, but… sothing's still off." Ye Hao said, and reached out to rummage through the pile of scrap.
When he fished out a pitch‑black switch, Ye Hao said to Dong Dong, "General Dong, get a ceramic bowl."
Dong Dong didn't doubt him and went off to fetch an ordinary bowl and chopsticks they used for als.
Ye Hao took the ceramic bowl from Dong Dong, then put the pitch‑black switch under the microscope and used a high‑temperature wire welder to heat open so of the hex screw holes.
After unscrewing the holes, Ye Hao used tweezers to gently pry the switch open.
After that, he tossed the switch into the bowl, and a few seconds later, thin threads of liquid began to seep out into the bowl.
Seeing the liquid, Ye Hao nodded and smiled. "Looks like that vessel just now really wasn't holding a successful energy source."
"Why do you say that?" Everyone looked at Ye Hao in puzzlent. At this point, none of them were underestimating him anymore—everything Ye Hao said had a basis; he wasn't just talking out of his ass. And on top of that, he'd fished sothing important out of a piece of scrap equipnt.
This kind of eye for detail was sothing they simply couldn't compare with Ye Hao on.
"Because a successful laser energy source doesn't need this compatibility liquid. This compatibility liquid is used to keep the laser energy from destroying the carrier. I was just wondering how the God faction could possibly have developed an alloy compatible with laser energy!" Ye Hao let out a sigh of relief and smiled.
"You're saying those laser energy sources need this kind of compatibility liquid in order to be fired?" Dong Dong asked, still puzzled.
"Unsuccessful laser energy sources need this compatibility liquid. A successful laser energy source can calmly sit in the carrier and be fired at will. Only after it leaves the carrier will it expose its scorching high temperature, reaching nearly one‑ten‑thousandth the speed of light." Ye Hao said.
Even at one‑ten‑thousandth that speed, an Innate‑realm expert still wouldn't be able to dodge it.
"You've calculated the speed of the laser?" Elder Zhang looked at Ye Hao and asked.
Ye Hao shook his head. "Laser needs a material dium to support it. I just estimated based on the speed of light; it's probably around one‑ten‑thousandth of that."
"That speed doesn't hold up." Elder Zhang shot it down directly.
Ye Hao neither argued nor agreed. After all, he hadn't actually developed a laser energy source yet, and hadn't precisely calculated what the speed would be.
"Then, Comrade Ye Hao, can you use this alloy that Qin Army already destroyed to make a scaled‑down laser gun?" Dong Dong asked curiously.
"I can, but I won't." Ye Hao said.
"Why not?"
"Because these materials can't be purified anymore. If I'm guessing right, they were destroyed by laser energy. Of course, if you have a way to re‑purify these materials, I can give it a shot. But if they can't be purified, then not only will I refuse to make it, you can't either, because it's way too dangerous." Ye Hao said.
"Then what if we used other new alloys instead…"
"If your new alloy can withstand ten thousand degrees of high temperature, then it's worth considering." Ye Hao said with a smile.
Everyone was speechless at that. Ten thousand degrees! Even the most heat‑resistant tungsten‑molybdenum alloys could only last a few seconds between 1,000 to 10,000 degrees Celsius before lting into liquid.
"Then why do you think the God faction could use that kind of alloy as a carrier?" Another academic old‑tir couldn't figure it out and asked.
"Heh, sir, I don't think you fully understand what I ant. What I an is, alloy is certainly important, but you need an alloy that can endure long‑term high temperatures, combined with the compatibility liquid, before you can do proper research. There's another issue too: the vessel used to load the laser energy source." Ye Hao explained with a smile.
"We really can't give it a try?" Dong Dong asked again.
Ye Hao shook his head. It wasn't that he was too afraid of dying, but there was simply no way to refine that carrier back to its original state.
"Alright then! Looks like there's no point in keeping this laser energy source."
"If General Dong thinks it's useless, why not give it to ?" Ye Hao said with a smile.
"What do you want it for?"
"Research." Ye Hao smiled.
"What research is there that you can't do here in the Science and Technology Team?"
"I want to take it back and study it day and night. I don't have ti to co to the Science and Technology Team every day." Ye Hao said.
"No. Even if these laser energy sources might not be of much use to the Science and Technology Team, they're still far too dangerous." Dong Dong tactfully rejected Ye Hao.
Hearing this, Ye Hao nodded. It wasn't like he absolutely had to have it anyway. (Want to know more exciting updates on "Supre Man of Huadu"?
