Only My Way

“The power of those rune cannons is indeed quite impressive.”

“Their actual destructive power is stronger than conventional nuclear weapons of the same yield, and they don't cause any pollution. They're truly environmentally friendly and healthy…”

After observing the actual power of those rune cannons from a high vantage point, Ling Wuyuan, positioned high in the sky, expressed his sentiments about the current situation.

Previously,

although he had learned about the general power of rune cannons through various books and had successfully understood their basic operating principles,

and had even touched similar or even more advanced rune creations at Jade Night Snow City,

barely counting as having personally handled them,

even feeling that if he were willing to spend the time and effort, he would be fully capable of creating some lower-level rune cannons himself.

Whether it was the relatively simple steps of smelting metal and forging the frame, or the most difficult step—rune inscription—it was not a difficult task for him, who was proficient in various skills.

It was completely within his ability to handle.

But even so, he had never personally witnessed the actual destructive power of these things before.

Following Ling Wuyuan's murmurings,

some of the people standing beside him suddenly developed some curiosity.

“Nuclear weapons?”

“What are those?”

“Some kind of special weapon?”

The speaker was Pei Yiman's fifth senior sister, Pei Suxia.

As someone with a strong sense of curiosity,

when she heard Ling Wuyuan's previous words,

she immediately became curious about the weapon that could be compared to rune cannons in terms of destructive power.

As a meticulous person with ample knowledge,

in a short period of time,

Pei Suxia also made some practical follow-up guesses based on Ling Wuyuan's words.

“And you mentioned pollution… Does that mean it's difficult to clean up the site once that kind of weapon is used?”

Not denying the other party's guess, Ling Wuyuan immediately nodded and said, “Yes, you can understand it as a special weapon with good power.”

“And just like rune cannons, nuclear weapons don't have high requirements for the user.”

“Once successfully manufactured, the biggest problem is just that they pollute the environment after use.”

“At least for the creatures living in the surrounding areas, it can indeed be called a significant poison, even affecting future generations…”

However, saying this, and thinking about the exceptionally strong physical qualities of the creatures in this world, he was not so sure what actual impact the nuclear radiation could have on the local creatures.

The native creatures here are indeed too strong, even with completely different body structures…

He would even believe that they could ignore most of the nuclear radiation on the spot.

However,

as long as the intensity of the nuclear radiation is high enough,

it should still be able to cause effective damage…

“Oh?”

“Affecting future generations?”

“Does it contain some kind of curse or poison?”

After getting a relatively rough answer, Pei Suxia continued to ask expectantly:

“Can you make that kind of weapon?”

“I want to see the actual effect.”

To her request,

Ling Wuyuan first replied, “…It should be considered to contain some kind of invisible poison.”

“As for manufacturing nuclear weapons…”

He chose to shake his head with a troubled expression.

“It's a bit difficult.”

“I only understand some of the more basic principles.”

“If you really want to make that kind of weapon, there will inevitably be many troubles in the whole process.”

“And there are many additional interference factors.”

As someone who studied hard in his previous life,

although Ling Wuyuan's in-depth research major had nothing to do with manufacturing nuclear weapons,

thanks to the Internet in modern society and long-term online surfing,

the erudite and talented Ling Wuyuan did indeed have some relatively superficial understanding of the basic principles and general manufacturing steps of nuclear weapons.

This directly led to the fact that, with his current strength,

if he could be thrown to a place with an environment similar to Earth,

and he was willing to spend time constantly deducing formulas and repeatedly conducting experiments,

then he could really make nuclear weapons or super dirty bombs with similar effects on his own.

But unfortunately, the above situation is completely an impossible condition to meet.

Not only does he not have the relevant manufacturing materials,

but even the area he is currently in is highly likely to be unable to trigger the nuclear reaction equation on Earth.

In short,

this is ultimately a world that may not even have the four fundamental forces of the universe…

The nuclear reaction equation is certainly excellent in combat power,

but it cannot cut people down across rules.

Compared to that extremely unrealistic situation that would make Einstein come back to life and do sit-ups on the spot,

Ling Wuyuan is more willing to believe that there are actually scenes of aliens fighting cultivators in this world.

Thinking of this,

Ling Wuyuan also felt that it was a bit of a pity.

Although conventional nuclear weapons have very limited lethality against the strong, basically no different from those conventional rune cannons,

but super-yield nuclear weapons,

equivalent to tens of billions of tons of TNT, hundreds of billions of tons of TNT… super-yield nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, three-phase bombs,

are ultimately some tools with quite good power.

The ultra-high temperature released when they are detonated at close range, even if the duration is relatively short, is difficult to cause any fatal threat to powerful targets with extremely large bodies and strong recovery, but they are very good for dealing with humanoid targets that are not too large, and there is a chance to completely decompose the enemy in an instant.

Therefore, Ling Wuyuan felt that that thing was very suitable to be stored in space items as a super grenade or something.

As for a greater role?

Taking the other party as a super invincible ultimate weapon?

To be honest,

the practical significance of that kind of behavior is really not great.

As early as when Ling Wuyuan discovered super-spec things like interstellar civilization in the Dragon Beast Sea Ridge, he immediately understood that many knowledge on Earth may already need to gradually withdraw from the historical stage with the continuous advancement of the version…

In this world where even artificial planets have come out,

the purity of nuclear weapons is directly greatly reduced!

And Pei Suxia, who knew nothing about these things,

at this moment, after hearing that Ling Wuyuan could not recreate the nuclear weapon she had never seen,

the disappointment in her heart was also a bit difficult to hide.

That was the disappointment of suddenly hearing about some novel thing that could arouse her strong interest, but being unable to see it.

Making her only able to reply with a somewhat low mood:

“Okay then.”
