He looked at Jike and Phoebe, who were busily organizing the laboratory, and smiled slightly. His gaze swept around and he casually said, "This is your lab? Not bad."

The laboratory was filled with various alchemy instruments, and the workbench had a large number of flasks and test tubes containing colorful liquid potions. The green liquid in the reaction boiler was still bubbling under the scorching flames.

The air was filled with a strong mixed smell of potions.

It looked like an apothecary's laboratory.

But upon closer inspection, many of the containers held dangerous explosive-related chemicals that could easily cause violent reactions if touched.

Anyone who could really understand these materials would think of this place more as an ammunition depot than a laboratory.

Moreover, it wasn't just the dangerous goods; there were also some precision instruments connected to energy devices working in the laboratory.

The most eye-catching was the "Heggs T3 High-Pressure Testing Machine" which was more than ten meters in diameter.

Suren recognized at a glance that this instrument came from the Mafa military and was a top-level instrument in the field of planar mechanics, used to test some ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature experimental projects.

Because there were two of them in the mechanical factory in the Small Void Realm.

It was one of the gifts that Lucien Peppis, one of the founders of the Mafa Mechanical Empire, gave to Dora when she joined Dawn.

Suren was also surprised that Jike's laboratory had such top-level equipment.

"Yes."

Seeing that his teacher was interested in the laboratory, Jike enthusiastically introduced, "Teacher, these devices were all taken out of the Mechanical Academy by the teachers before the fall of Kabitron. It just so happened that I was researching 'anti-matter bombs' and needed them, so everyone let me move them to the laboratory."

After all, facing a top powerhouse, Phoebe seemed a little restrained.

Moreover, he was Jike's teacher and martial uncle, and she also felt a little apprehensive about meeting her elders.

Seeing Jike's signal, she woke up and brought the bench from the laboratory, "Mr. Suren, martial uncle, please sit down."

She didn't know what to call Mr. Mirror, so she also called him "martial uncle".

Mr. Mirror smiled slightly when he heard this. The two sat down on the chairs.

Although it was simple, the atmosphere was very warm.

...................

Suren had noticed many scars on Jike's body when he was in the bunker before, so he guessed that his disciple's life had probably been difficult in the past few years. After all, before today, Mafa was a purely occupied area, and the entire territory was repeatedly defeated by the people of the Celestial God Plane.

He asked, "After the plane invasion, have you been in the resistance army all the time?"

"Yes, Teacher."

Jike nodded and said, "Originally, our students were among the first batch that could be evacuated from the academy. But I thought I could use my ammunition knowledge to bring some help to the front line, so I stayed. Phoebe saw that I didn't leave, so she stayed with me too."

He briefly talked about his experiences in the past few years after the fall, which was roughly about running around and playing guerrilla warfare, and almost died several times.

Although the impact of the resistance army on the enemies of the Celestial God Plane was limited, it also let the people in the occupied area know that there was a group of them still holding on and fighting.

Suren and Mr. Mirror listened, and they also heard the hardships of the past few years between the lines.

Jike added, "However, the damage caused by current mechanical technology to the Wanren magic corps is still too limited, and the resistance army has suffered heavy casualties, and cities are constantly falling... I have always wanted to invent a kind of explosive that can cause damage to the Wanren magic corps. Later, I got some inspiration from reading ancient books, and with these experimental instruments, I created the 'dark matter bomb'..."

Suren's expression changed slightly when he heard this.

He was also very surprised that the blue mushroom cloud bomb was able to severely damage the Wanren magic corps before. Because that kind of explosion actually had a rule-level breaking effect.

He came to Jike this time to ask about the relevant situation.

Since they were talking about this topic, he directly asked, "Jike, what you said about the 'dark matter bomb'...

"What exactly is going on?"

As soon as he mentioned his major, Jike seemed very talkative. He said quickly, "Teacher! It just so happens that I also have some related questions I want to ask you."

After a pause, he said, "Because my professional rank is too low, and my understanding of the law level is too weak, although the 'dark matter bomb' has been made, due to the limitations of my cognition, I don't actually understand many principles. And I think it should be more perfect. So I want to ask the teacher..."

Suren didn't rush to speak, but listened quietly.

.......................

"Because I wanted to make a bomb that could break through the domain of high-level professionals, or even kill the holy domain of high-level mages, I realized that I couldn't design bombs solely from the level of energy fluctuations. The new explosives must have the characteristics to break through that kind of high-level domain..."

"But this idea is difficult to realize, because even the most powerful bombs in Mafa today are still at the energy level. Therefore, I wanted to find clues in ancient books. After all, the alchemy plane was once extremely brilliant, and perhaps the alchemical predecessors had studied it. Then I started flipping through various ancient books. Oh, I have to mention that the academy's library helped me a lot..."

"..."

Jike began to talk eloquently.

Suren was also very gratified to hear this.

He had already seen the shadow of a future great alchemist from his disciple.

You must know that ancient books are not so easy to read.

To understand the manuscripts left by alchemists from various eras, you need to be proficient in too many things. Like ancient writing, cryptography, occultism, and even ethics, customs, geography, archeology, etc. must be proficient.

Ancient great alchemists took pride in encrypting their research results, and the higher the level of the classics, the higher the degree of encryption.

To understand it, you need super perseverance and talent.

Jike added, "Fortunately, I found a fragment of the 'Dirac Dark Matter Book' in those ancient alchemy documents, and after deciphering it, I finally made some discoveries. In the field of alchemy, almost everyone agrees that the beginning of the universe is the 'Original Creator'. And everything in the universe may have evolved from the 'Original Matter Big Bang'. Then Master Dirac raised a question: What level of explosion would that explosion be?"

"..."

Suren fell into deep thought when he heard this.

He knew this point of view, and it was even recorded in many alchemy classics.

For countless years, alchemists who pursued the truth would naturally consider what the source of the universe is and how the world was created.

The "Original Big Bang" is one of the most mainstream views. But Jike's entry point was obviously different.

He didn't consider it so deeply, he only cared about "explosion".

He added, "And the problem lies in 'explosion'. In the 'Dirac Dark Matter Book', the master said that the explosion of converting from primordial matter to matter must be different from the explosion in our cognition. It will not only be a state change at the energy level, and there must be something neglected in it. For example, some special energy, laws, rules, or something else. Like a catalyst, it completed this process, but due to some restrictions, we cannot observe it..."

Suren felt inexplicably familiar when he heard this beginning.

After a little savoring, isn't this the conjecture theory about "dark rules" in Sir Isaac's fifth alchemy manuscript?

Jike continued, "That master wrote in the book that he felt that the equivalent exchange that we usually understand may be wrong... the conclusion is correct, but the process is misunderstood. There must be a special substance involved in this process, otherwise the explosion in our cognition cannot reach the effect of the original explosion. This special substance is not visible to the naked eye, not observed, and not revealed in the results, like a 'ghost' hidden in the dark. After the reaction, they do not exist, but it does not mean that they did not participate. It is a real existence. And Master Dirac calls this ghost substance—'dark matter'."

"..."

Suren's eyes turned slightly when he heard this.

Probably,

No one can understand the meaning of this sentence better than him.

Mr. Mirror on the side also showed a thoughtful expression. Although she had also read the fifth Isaac manuscript, she had not yet touched that field.

Now that she heard similar theories from other places, she was naturally very interested.

Jike looked at the serious expressions of the two people, and thought that he had expressed it too bluntly, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Although this theory does sound outrageous.

He paused and said, "Teacher, martial uncle, I know this theory sounds absurd to you. I felt the same way when I first saw it. But please continue to listen. Because, I have confirmed in later experiments that Master Dirac is right. Because my 'dark matter bomb' comes from this principle."

"Yes."

Suren and Mr. Mirror had seen it with their own eyes, so they would naturally not doubt it. They nodded and didn't say much, and listened quietly to the following.

Jike added, "That 'Dirac Dark Matter Book' is already incomplete, and I don't know how that master discovered 'dark matter' in the first place. But the book says that this is an existence that cannot be observed at the human level. I have also tried it, and there is currently no way to observe it by any means. Therefore, I cannot provide any evidence for this theory. Of course, these are not the key points I want to say. Because everything about 'dark matter' is too profound, and even now, I don't understand it at all."

"And what I want to say is the problem of dark matter explosion."

After a pause, he said, "In the book, Master Dirac has a conclusion, that is, that kind of dark matter will annihilate when it comes into contact with normal matter. And the process of this annihilation will release huge energy and destroy some high-level laws. This is where the inspiration for my 'dark matter bomb' came from..."

Suren had already understood most of it when he heard this.

His disciple knew nothing about the rule level, but he used this annihilation characteristic to make a bomb.

This is actually ancient alchemy.

Ancient alchemy almost never delved into the specific effects of materials at the microscopic level, but focused on the overall effect of the formula.

Simply put: it works, and you don't need to consider why.

Jike pointed to those experimental instruments and said, "Dark matter is very unstable, it will annihilate as soon as it touches positive matter. Therefore, the production process is very difficult, and it requires ultra-high temperature and absolute vacuum conditions to appear. And it is almost impossible to reach that temperature and condition under normal circumstances. And I found an ancient formula in the dwarven metallurgical potion formula, which can create extremely high temperatures.

Using these instruments, I finally achieved the required environment... Then, I successfully created dark matter'!"

Speaking of his research results, Jike's face was already full of excitement, gesticulating with his hands and feet: "Teacher, do you know, the power of this annihilation is a hundred times that of ordinary explosives, just one gram! Just one gram! It can achieve the previous effect, but dark matter is very unstable and can only be controlled by me on site. So that's why you saw me at the bunker before..."

Not only was Jike very excited, but Suren was also very proud.

The "dark matter bomb" is definitely a milestone discovery in the field of mechanical alchemy.

The explosion can destroy the power of high-level laws. From then on, mechanical alchemy truly entered the top alchemy field in terms of combat.

This discovery is enough to make his name, Jike James, go down in history.

However, this technology is obviously not mature enough.

......

"I have also asked some predecessors in ammunition science and mechanical masters. But no one can give me an answer. Therefore, I wanted to ask the teacher..."

After Jike finished speaking, the excitement also cooled down.

This unsolvable problem is his biggest trouble.

It even kept him awake at night.

This question is really beyond the syllabus.

Because this is not a category that humans can understand at all.

If Jike asked someone else, even a Tier 9, they would definitely be confused after listening.

Maybe he knows more than them.

But the teacher is Suren.

This may be the only person in this plane who can help Jike explain the principle of this bomb.

However, after listening to Jike's process of discovering dark matter, Suren was also full of emotion: Talent is really important in certain fields.

Otherwise, most people will realize that the apple is ripe when it falls on the ground; and only a few people will think about why it falls on the ground instead of falling into the sky.

Although Suren didn't speak just now, he actually fully understood the principle of this antimatter bomb.

He pondered for a moment before solemnly saying, "Jike, your idea is correct, but you may have misunderstood it. This dark matter bomb destroys not only the law level, but the higher-level 'rules'."

Jike cast a puzzled look "Rules?" Obviously this is not the rule in his understanding.

At the same time, his eyes were full of expectation, his teacher really knew!

For him now, nothing is more exciting than solving this doubt in his heart.

Suren nodded and explained, ""Rules' are the power that can only be mastered above the god level, and are the secrets hidden deep in the universe. And the dark matter you are talking about is also a field researched by your grandmaster, Sir Isaac..."

This "dark matter" is actually a materialized representation of something in Sir Isaac's "dark rules", just like flame is just a materialized representation of fire elements.

His disciple obviously hasn't reached that level of cognition, but only used the part of it to make bombs.

But topics involving the level of "rules" and "dark rules" are根本not something that ordinary humans can understand.

Fortunately, after drinking from the Mimir's Well, Suren obtained enough wisdom, so he used his own understanding to describe "rules" in a way that mortals could understand.

Mr. Mirror himself is a Tier 9, so he understood most of it.

Although Jike and Phoebe listened very carefully and took notes, the sad faces of the two made it easy to see that they were listening very hard.

Suren's explanation lasted all night.

...................

Unknowingly, dawn had arrived.

In the laboratory, Suren was still explaining.

Jike and Phoebe were not sleepy at all, and listened attentively.

While listening, they also recorded, and the notebooks in their hands had unknowingly recorded a thick book.

They did not realize at this moment that this notebook would become one of the sacred books of the alchemy plane in countless years to come.

Suren has come all the way, and he is very clear that certain cognitions cannot be understood no matter how you explain them until the professional rank reaches a certain level.

He didn't expect that Jike would be able to understand after he lectured for a whole night. The meaning of these contents is far greater than the content itself. This will let Jike know where his path will lead in the future.

While talking, Suren stopped from explaining those obscure alchemy knowledge and ended, "I can only roughly talk about the content about rules here. This knowledge is too profound for you now and you need to spend a lot of time to understand it..."

Although the explanation is from the shallow to the deep, this may be the amount of knowledge that ordinary alchemists have to learn for hundreds of years to accumulate. It almost represents the most alchemy that humans can master.

Even if Jike has amazing talent, he may have to spend many years on these contents in the future.

When Jike heard this, he came back to his senses from the immersed listening state.

He quickly got up and bowed deeply, "Thank you, teacher."

Phoebe on the side also saluted obediently.

Suren smiled and said, "The cognition of the high-level alchemy field is not achieved overnight. If you study hard, you will definitely gain something in the future. Especially in the field of ammunition masters, there is also a lot to be done..."

After listening to a night of alchemy knowledge that was beyond the syllabus, Jike seemed to have a little indigestion in his whole head, and responded blankly: "Yes, teacher."

Suren looked at his disciple like this,

He didn't guess that his people were here, and he was probably eager to start experimenting in his mind. He added, "But you said you want to use the 'dark matter explosive' in machines to make it more stable. I have something very special here that you can use as a reference."

As he spoke, he displayed a projection of an item, which was a black thing like obsidian.

The thing was too special, so he didn't dare to take it out of the Small Void Realm.

This was the energy stone of the ancient weapon [Twilight of the Gods] found in the secret room of the Gorgon family's temple in the Dragon Kingdom sea area.

[Twilight of the Gods]

Detailed explanation: Also known as "Zosimos dark matter", a magical substance named after its discoverer; a magical ore once discovered by the mythical goblin family in the endless void of the dark world, containing super energy and high-level laws that you cannot understand; through research, the goblins discovered that it has a special effect of restraining the power of the gods' faith, so this stone is also regarded as a taboo by the gods;

Seeing this thing, Jike's eyes seemed to focus, and he returned to his senses from the state of wandering: "Teacher, this is...?"

"This is a special kind of dark matter." Suren didn't understand this thing before.

After understanding it, he didn't know what it meant.

After reading Sir Isaac's fifth manuscript and Jike's "Dirac Dark Matter Book", he had an accurate understanding.

This is a solidified dark matter.

Although I don't know where this natural substance came from, and it seems to be different from Jike's artificially made one.

But the essence is the same thing. There are many places to learn from.

Moreover, this size is completely different from the one or two grams that Jike can only make temporarily.

The most important thing is that it is stable and has a very mature method of use.

Jike's eyes widened when he heard this, "This... this..."

He seemed to see a treasure house opening its doors to him, and he couldn't take his eyes off it at all.

Professional people do professional things, and no one in the Small Void Realm has understood this thing.

Suren felt that it was best for Jike to study it, and added, "There is a very complex alchemy array on this crystal core, which imprisons and isolates this dark matter, so it is not annihilated. You can study it and it may stabilize the dark matter you refine and achieve a safe storage level. Also, there are detailed blueprints of the ancient weapon in the Small Void Realm, and the blueprints have how to accurately release the annihilation energy of this dark matter. You can also refer to it and use it in modern machinery..."

When Suren got the blueprints and the crystal core, he only regarded it as an ancient weapon.

Because as dark matter for ammunition, he didn't know how to make it, and it was gone after he used it up.

But I didn't expect that his disciple was also studying this field.

Once there is a research result, it means that this thing may be a sustainable technology.

One gram can severely damage a 10,000-man magic corps, so what about such a big piece?

Just like the effect identified by the blueprint, this is probably a weapon that can pose a fatal threat to the gods.

If there are a dozen such cannons, wouldn't they kill gods and demons?

If it can be armed to all mechanical units, then what is there to fear about plane invasion?

However, Suren felt that it was best not to expose this weapon that restrains gods until he has the ability to protect himself.

Not to mention that the production cost must be extremely high.

If it is really exposed at that time, it may not only be the Celestial God Plane, but the gods of other planes may also come to destroy this weapon that can threaten them.

If the alchemy plane is not strong enough, using it will only accelerate its destruction.

Seeing this, Jike couldn't help but eagerly wanted to study, and excitedly said: "Teacher, I want to go to the Small Void Realm to study!"

Suren smiled slightly: "Yes. But before that, I think you can say hello to your partners first."

Jike was overjoyed: "Okay!"
