Doomsday: Humanity shrinks 100 times

Chapter 240 Zhang Song's Ability

Lu Yuning nodded, calmed down his inner excitement, and walked towards the experimental container in the middle.

There seemed to be quite a few crystals in there, but Lu Yuning knew that this amount was far from enough.

If one wants to fully utilize the gunpowder in weapons, at least all the nitric acid in the reagent factory needs to be transported back. As for whether the other materials are sufficient, Lu Yuning is not sure.

However, there are quite a lot of materials in the factory. If all else fails, we can wait until the route is ready and then let Zhang Song go over. However, it will be a bit hard for Gu Yu as he will have to run back and forth several times. He actually enjoys this as it is really nice to fly freely in the air after all.

It would actually be better to let Wu Xiao deal with these precipitated sodium nitrate crystals, but Wu Xiao seemed to be still unconscious, so he finally thought about it and decided to deal with it himself.

The method is simple and crude. First, wrap the crystal inside with material, and then disassemble the outer container. After taking out the things, Lu Yuning just needs to make a new one.

Zhang Song was startled by the sudden disappearance of the container, but after it slowly reassembled, Zhang Song showed an expression similar to Lu Yuning's just now.

Although he had seen Lu Yuning demonstrate his supernatural powers before, he obviously didn't expect that he could control such a large object.

Both of them were somewhat surprised at the other's abilities.

Zhang Song said, "Yu Ning, your ability is very adaptable and can be used in almost every scenario."

"I can break things up and reassemble them."

"Is it the rearrangement of chemical bonds?"

"No, it's on a physical level. It should be the reactivation of the interaction between molecules."

Zhang Song nodded. "Controlling the interaction between molecules? I see. It's amazing."

"It's okay, I think yours is more magical"

Zhang Song paused, knowing that Lu Yuning was somewhat curious about his ability, and began to explain, "My ability actually has two functions, but it is essentially the same as yours, except that it only works on liquids."

Seeing Lu Yuning's puzzled expression, he continued to explain, "The production process I just described utilizes two types of supernatural powers. The first is to maintain the liquid's form. This is why the two liquids didn't dissolve and react in the reaction flask. Because I fixed their forms, the two liquids didn't actually touch each other in the container."

Lu Yuning suddenly understood and showed an expression of "so that's it".

Zhang Song continued, "Maintaining this liquid form is actually the method I used to direct the water to the waste bucket later. I first formed the water into a column, then changed its shape to a parabola. Because of gravity, it will flow into the waste bucket. This application is actually the same as what I just said."

Lu Yuning nodded, finally understanding why the water column flowed into the waste bucket by itself. He originally thought that the other party could move liquids, but now it seems that it was not the case, but a method of use derived from this ability.

"As for the method of precipitating sodium nitrate crystals, it's actually an ability I suddenly discovered later, or rather, it seems like an evolution of my ability."

"Qualitative change" "Yes, a new ability unlocked after long-term use. We have also discovered this, but it seems that not everyone's ability is like this. Or maybe they haven't discovered it yet. Anyway, here, only my sister and I have experienced this situation."

Lu Yuning nodded, wondering what Wu Shumei's ability was. Last time, she was able to push the door, and it seemed like it had something to do with kinetic energy. She'd have to ask her about it later.

Zhang Song continued, "So my second ability evolved from my original ability. It's the ability to transform from liquid to gas. Simply put, I can vaporize certain liquids. Of course, this has something to do with the boiling point of the liquid itself. The higher the boiling point, the harder it is to control the vaporization."

Lu Yuning was a little puzzled and said, "I just saw that the liquid didn't vaporize. It still existed in liquid form in the end."

"Yes, I did it on purpose. Having water vapor in the lab is very troublesome. It will react with concentrated acid, so I can't let the water vapor evaporate at will. This process is actually accomplished by the combined effect of my two abilities. The vaporized water vapor will precipitate sodium nitrate crystals, and this vaporized water vapor will quickly dissolve back into the liquid water. This process relies on my control over the shape of the liquid. Repeating this cycle will achieve the effect of distillation."

The more Lu Yuning listened, the more surprised he was, and in the end he could only give the evaluation of "awesome".

Zhang Song smiled happily upon hearing Lu Yuning's words. "Haha, these are all methods I figured out myself. To be honest, I used to be a chemistry teacher at this school, and chemistry was my life. I even thought, if I could carry this ability with me in my original world, how wonderful it would be."

Lu Yuning also smiled: "No wonder, there is always an invisible sense of oppression, maybe this is the teacher's bloodline suppression of students."

"Hahaha, you're quite interesting."

Zhang Song looked very happy. The two chatted for a while and their relationship became better and better.

"So your name is Weiguang? What a nice name, with a good meaning. How many of you are there now?"

"About a hundred or so, mostly survivors from the park."

"It's not easy to find so many survivors in the park. The living environment in the wild is much worse."

"Well, there were actually four forces in the park before."

Lu Yuning briefly recounted some of his previous experiences in the park. His purpose was obvious. He wanted to explain Wei Guang's situation to Zhang Song. In fact, he also wanted him to join in, but he just wanted to see how he responded.

According to Lu Yuning's previous understanding of them, although Wu Shumei is the leader of this group and she is in charge of all matters big and small, the real backbone is actually Zhang Song in front of him.

Zhang looked at Lu Yuning, nodded slowly, and then said seriously: "I understand what you mean. In fact, for me, it doesn't matter where I am. My family is thousands of kilometers away now, and it will probably be difficult for me to see them again in this lifetime. As for what will happen to this world in the future, I don't care much anymore. The only thing I want to do is to continue studying chemistry. All I can do is protect the people here. I think it is my greatest responsibility."

This was quite clear. Although Zhang Song did not directly refuse to join, he was really not interested in other things. When a person reaches middle age, the most important thing is to have a happy family. Now, finding family in this vast world is actually more difficult than human colonization of Mars.

So Zhang Song has basically given up and can be said to be completely disheartened. The only things that can arouse his interest now are chemistry and his final responsibility as a teacher.
