my slow journey to infinity

Chapter 53 Humanoid self-propelled cloud explosive bomb with a killing radius greater than its range

Wang Shui is also a little scared now.

To be honest, what he just committed suicide was a simple cloud explosive bomb. He added enough oxygen to the homemade cloud explosive agent, and changed the chain combustion that the old Hawkeye failed to realize into a small-scale self-explosion bomb. Oxygen supply.

And his small, airtight room served as the war department's medicine room.

Those gray dusts were some high-explosives he made temporarily. They were dispersed in the cloud explosives and mixed with oxygen to form explosive aerosols with high density, which then became the meaning of thermobaric bombs.

In this way, the continuous burning effect is reduced, but the explosion effect is greatly improved.Fortunately, it can continuously synthesize oxygen to be self-sufficient, so that when it explodes, it will not drain out the nearby oxygen and suffocate all living things here.

But even so, if Aqua Regia didn't use the Philosopher's Stone to build a flammable gas channel and guide the flame jet out, this air bomb would definitely burn the base to ashes...

"What just happened! The thinking network experienced great fluctuations. Three 10,000+ structures were down for 10 seconds. What are you doing to die!"

Sylvia's voice came, and then turned into an exclamation.

"WOK! Has this place been hit by a high-yield bomb?!"

"Huh...cough-cough, it's okay, there was a little problem with the experiment just now."

Sylvia was silent for a few seconds, and then said very seriously:

"Why don't you put me on a mechanical structure and let me go? I'm really scared because you have lived such an ordinary life so magnificently. Or you can send me to the battlefield. It's better to die in battle than to die in battle." It would be great if one day he suddenly and inexplicably disappears."

"No, no need, my god, I had a twitch in my head and forgot that I was not in a safety laboratory. There will be no next time."

Aqua Regia comforted Sylvia and noticed that the nearby soldiers were approaching. In order to prevent accidents, he used the Philosopher's Stone to make a large loudspeaker and send out a broadcast.

"Well, don't panic. I am the state alchemist. I have just been testing new weapons. There is no enemy invasion. Everyone, hurry up and rescue the people in the ruins. It should be fine now. It will be hard to say after a long time."

The people near here were still hesitant after hearing this, but Colonel Magus came forward and gave some orders. The soldiers quickly began to clear the ruins of the camp, and he himself came over with a few guards.

"I need an explanation."

Colonel Magus was calm and angry. He really didn't care about these Eastern Army soldiers, but he did care about his own life and mission.

"Of course it's your fault." Wang Shui leaned against the ruins and looked up at the sky, looking a little confused.

"Blame me?!"

"Are these yours?"

"Ah."

"Oh, I accidentally made it while studying the red stone you gave me yesterday. Do you think it's your fault?"

"You! This is a military base! Not a testing ground for researching explosives!"

"Okay, okay, I will pay attention next time," Wang Shui waved his hand, "I think the hospital doesn't particularly need me, and you don't care about the injuries. For safety reasons, I am going to leave for a while."

"Your job is to stay in the East."

"Of course, I won't leave too far. I just want to find a secluded place to do research. Oh, by the way, I used up a lot of stones yesterday. Is there anything left?"

"No more. Before you make a contribution, there will be no more new ones." Colonel Magus's face was not good-looking. "You can leave, but I hope to receive your messages regularly, even in the most remote places." There is also a national alchemy institution in this small town, so remember to report there when the time comes."

"No problem - as long as I can remember. If there is an emergency, you can contact my mechanical armor company and they can find me. So, what is the mission here, Colonel? I want to change some rocks."

"There is no mission, but..." Colonel Magus looked at the ruins, "I am very interested in the new weapons you mentioned."

"With stone resources, do we still need such explosives?"

“You can never have too much of something to improve efficiency.”

Wang Shui nodded: "Of course I can provide technology, but this is pure alchemy, and it is not mature enough. The stability needs to be enhanced. Colonel, you don't want your position to disappear together with the enemy, right? ?”

"so what?"

"If the stones are still similar, at least ten are needed to make a stable weapon." Wang Shui offered the price.

"Ten pills consumed each time?!"

"Of course not. This is just the price of the first phase of research. Once the technology matures and the power is controlled within a certain range, it can be produced with only ordinary resources."

After listening to Wang Shui's words, Colonel Margus pondered for a moment.

"This is not something I can decide alone. I need to report it."

"Then, are there any stones that can be advanced? I don't want to stop the research progress and wait for you to complete the internal process."

Colonel Marcus fell into thinking again, and then his eyes flashed:
"I can provide you with two in advance, but I want the technology of this weapon to be put into my hands first."

"Then this price is too low." Wang Shui suddenly looked like a profiteer.

"I will apply for more resources from Central City to support your research."

"It's a deal. It's easy to communicate with a happy person. Do you need me to write a contract for you?"

Colonel Margus didn't pay any attention to Aqua Regia, just threw a leather bag over, then turned and left.

Wang Shui put away the bag containing the two Philosopher's Stones, squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, and fell silent.

"So you were tricked into getting three Philosopher's Stones?" Sylvia suddenly interrupted.

"How can you call it a lie? I'm really considering making a cloud bomb and handing it over to them, and run it with absolute integrity. But this colonel, hehe, they are not monolithic inside. Sure enough, power manipulation never goes out of style. There are such insects everywhere. , and actually lied to me."

"What did he lie to you about?"

"He recruited me on behalf of the androids, but in the end he only revealed information about the consumable Philosopher's Stone, and wanted to use this thing to bind me. He also lied to me that he was loyal to the president, and wanted to get it from me in advance. He's very ambitious in terms of cloud explosive bomb technology." "But he doesn't look very strong." Sylvia made a judgment.

"Yes, in this world with limited extraordinary power, people who can sit in high positions do not need super personal strength. A certain degree of safety can be guaranteed by piling up security and troops. Unlike in our main world, where the streets are full of people An extraordinary killer, how can he be the boss if he has no skills?"

"I suddenly have a question. You have been training for all these years and you haven't noticed yet. How powerful is the strongest fighter in this fantasy world?"

Wang Shui thought carefully and said:

"It's hard to say. The strongest villain in my memory doesn't have very strong defense power, and his combat skills are almost zero. He can only manipulate very strong energy. It is the energy that brings a very strong protective ability. At the same time, he also has He possesses the so-called omniscience, but with the arrogance of the [Little Man in the Bottle], if you don’t commit suicide in front of him, he will not be tempted to take action.”

"Sounds like a slightly stronger natural super. Such people are very easy to deal with as long as their energy can be limited."

"Absolutely," Wang Shui agreed with Sylvia's words, "I'm not worried about the final BOSS. As long as the tragedies in the plot happen one by one and the main plot characters finish everything naturally, the final BOSS will be easy to handle.

What I'm more worried about is meeting a few difficult androids in advance, especially the president.I haven't faced them before, so I don't know if I can beat them. Of course, that's without using mobile armor. "

"Oh, you're cowardly." Sylvia immediately mocked.

"Yes, there is no shame in seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. After seven or eight years in seclusion, I really need to find some suitable people to try my skills." Wang Shui admitted generously.

"It seems you already have the right candidate."

"of course."

While Wang Shui was sitting and resting, while chatting with Sylvia, Roy Mustang came over. He looked at the ruins at the center of the explosion with a lot of hesitation in his expression.

"What's the matter, Sergeant Mustang?" Wang Shui asked proactively.

"I want to know what this is." Mustang asked straight to the point, his eyes full of determination.

"That's not for you to know, Sergeant. You should ask the Colonel. He will tell you again that this is just an alchemical experiment."

Mustang didn't say anything more, but took out a notebook. On the leather cover was his unique flame alchemy formation.

He activated the refining formation, used a lighter to obtain a ball of flame, and then said:
"I had a similar feeling... I can't describe it, it was a..."

"Taste, similar to the aroma of food, always lingers around you, but this time it comes from afar, guiding your spirit to get closer."

Wang Shui expressed this feeling for him, "[Spiritual Energy Same Frequency], a term I coined. For the same energy source and the same type of extraordinary power, skilled people will be more keenly aware of it."

Mustang nodded, feeling complicated but not knowing what to ask.

"You are actually Old Hawkeye's apprentice. The information written on the cover of the notebook in your hand has a lot of shadows of Flame Alchemy. There is no need to show such a shocked expression. I have communicated with Old Hawkeye. Alchemy Art, or science, blindly working behind closed doors will not be efficient. I also know the alchemy of flames, but I use it in different directions."

Wang Shui used the tone of an old-timer and bluffed Mustang without any shame.

"Okay, sergeant, let's learn alchemy to the point where we can use it at will. Otherwise, I won't even want to give you any guidance. Everyone has their own understanding and usage characteristics of alchemy. Remember this, this is the same as The truth that equivalent exchange is equally important.”

"I understand." Mustang was indeed frightened. Since Lisa Hawkeye has joined the army, it means that his teacher is dead. Only Shui Wang would dare to talk nonsense without proof.

"Yesterday I saw you brought a blond female soldier. Is that Lisa?" Wang Shui suddenly changed the subject.

"Uh... yes." Mustang seemed to really not want Shui Wang to get close to Lisa Hawkeye. He was very worried about this young-looking guy and found it difficult to accept that Shui Wang was the same generation as his teacher. .

"Oh, why are you nervous? What I want to say is that since your boy is Old Hawkeye's apprentice, he has to take good care of his daughter. Why do you want her to come to the front line?"

"This is her own decision..." Mustang was really timid.

Wang Shui just shook his head like an elder, said "wait here", and walked towards the ruins.

He didn't find the small suitcase he carried with him, but some of the contents in the suitcase were preserved. They were several coal-like metal ingots with a very black surface.

Picking up a metal ingot, Wang Shui used the Philosopher's Stone to reshape and forge it. He also added some other materials out of thin air, and finally made it into a black pistol with soft lines. Shui Wang also rubbed an iron box. special bullets.

Returning to Mustang, who was standing blankly in the sun, Wang Shui handed him the pistol and bullets.

"This is for Lisa as a reward for sharing knowledge with Old Hawkeye. There is no need to save these special bullets. I hope you can master the ability to make such bullets, but I will not teach you directly. You need to You go and discover it yourself.”

Mustang didn't ask why Aquarium didn't go to Lisa himself, but just left with Aquarium impatiently waving his hand.

"I always feel that you don't seem like such a kind person that you would take the initiative to pay." Bystander Sylvia asked her soul.

"That only shows that your feeling is accurate."

Wang Shui is not ashamed at all, "It's just a simple positioning and energy warning array. I need to grasp the movements of the Mustang family, and it is not safe to put the positioning device on him. Lisa is different. She likes Firearms, especially powerful, stable and easy-to-use firearms.”

"so……"

"Yes, the protagonists will also have them, but not now."

"Sometimes, I really feel like you're a little sinister."

"Well... it's just that when the strength is insufficient, the thirst for all kinds of information may not be useful, but I just want to know. Okay, it's time to run away, otherwise they will ask me to help rebuild the base."

In Sylvia's "As expected of you" expression, Wang Shui packed up the things he had brought, quietly slipped out of the poorly defended base, and drove away the car that Mustang had used to pick him up.

"Where are you going?"

"Of course it's a place where you can study alchemy, study the Philosopher's Stone, and safely verify your combat effectiveness - the main tribe of Ishval."

"You're going to hostile territory?"

"No," blue lightning emerged from Wang Shui's body sitting in the driver's seat, and he soon turned into an Ishval man with brown skin, white hair and red eyes.
"I'm a local."
