Durin's Diary

Chapter 423 Finished
Dühring's speech was a great success.

There is no way. No one in this era can turn a PPT into a movie like Du Lin can.

When Du Lin walked off the stage, more than a dozen prominent old men and women from the School of Engineering shook hands with him one by one.

The last dean, when shaking hands with Du Lin, said with some confidence: "You must have discovered something, right?"

Du Lin narrowed his eyes and did not answer.

The old dean raised his eyebrows, smiled, and patted Du Lin on the shoulder. "Good boy, are you interested in taking over my position? I believe that under your guidance, the School of Engineering will become the dream paradise of all engineering scholars on this earth."

"Shameless old thing, he doesn't even want the position of the grand elder." Old Enrique came over at this time.

"Do you have the right to speak, little brat?" The dean also responded sharply.

The two old men, even if put together, were worth more than Du Lin. After Du Lin finally managed to persuade the two of them, he was called aside by Li Lin, one of the three giants.

"Kid, do you have any idea about this kind of weapon and its lethality?" Li Lin asked softly.

"Yes." Du Lin nodded truthfully.

"Well, next up is a closed-door meeting between the Circle and the Committee. Grassland Elves, follow me." Li Lin said, then turned and walked towards the entrance to the inner hall.

Du Lin followed him into the inner hall. The small hall was now crowded with grassland elves.

Li Lin stood beside Du Lin: "Child, do you dare to swear?"

"I do." Du Lin said as he slapped a lie detection button under his feet.

All the old guys who followed over exclaimed and pricked up their ears.

"In your opinion, what is the maximum killing radius of this weapon?" Li Lin continued to ask.

"If I drop what I consider to be the most powerful weapon possible over Marseille, all of southern Sidney and northern Farol will be completely destroyed. Paris is estimated to lose over 70% of its population within the next week. The High Elves and Moon Elves' territories are also within the kill radius. All buildings will suffer varying degrees of damage. Those who look directly at the bright light may become blind. The southern archipelago may be engulfed by a tsunami caused by the airwaves, with only one in ten survivors left. Explosions will be heard and bright lights will be seen all the way east to Everforged Citadel."

The reason for saying this is that Du Lin took many factors into consideration, such as the low efficiency of the centrifuge, or the failure to keep up in other aspects, which resulted in the thing Du Lin had in mind weighing hundreds of millions of tons.

There is no way. The history books say that a monster called the Soviet Union launched another monster on Novaya Zemlya. It was halved, but it could still create such a terrifying killing radius. Dulin's monster, which was not halved, would definitely cause even more terrifying damage.

Then a circle appeared under Du Lin's feet.

"What about us?"

"It's far away, and there are mountains between us and the epicenter. But since that day, it's difficult for refugees who escaped from Sidney to survive more than ten years. Various sequelae will torment them for the rest of their lives."

Du Lin continued to speak the truth.

The old men behind him all gasped in unison.

"Is this thing really that scary?" Old Enrique looked at the dean beside him and said, "Old man, do you know this too?"

"I don't know shit. I just thought I could blow up a hole in the ruins to the east." At this point, the dean reached out and patted Du Lin on the shoulder. "Son, what about Marseille?"

"There will be no Marseilles, and even all landmarks within fifty kilometers will vanish." Du Lin sighed. "Of course, this is only the strongest version of my theory. In my opinion, we still have a long way to go. From discovering this element to using it, to purifying it, it may take a hundred years or even longer." The circle at Du Lin's feet remained unchanged. He looked at the crowd, "The prophecy says that I am the end of all things, and that's true. In my eyes, there is no distinction between noble and humble life, but only between good and evil. Good people enjoy happiness, while bad people die. This is only natural to me. Some may not agree with my philosophy, and I won't waste time on them. Death is the best gift I can think of to give to bad people and their companions. If such an understanding allows me to become the end of all things, then I will gladly accept it."

Finally, Old Ish walked out of the crowd and hugged Du Lin: "Don't worry, you will always be my good grandson."

Then came Kakato. The old man came over and hugged Durin. "If you are the end of all things, then I will definitely be your most steadfast accomplice and assistant. But my family and I will remember your oath. Do not let the tribe down, child."

"No, Lublin is my home, and I won't let my family down." Du Lin stroked the old man's back.

In his previous life, Du Lin had never disappointed Gaota and his classmates.

As a grassland elf in this life, Dulin is also convinced that he will not disappoint his family and fellow creatures on the land of Lublin.

One elder after another came and went, until finally, Lilin reached out his hand and shook Durin's tightly. He looked at Durin with a sincere expression: "I hope you can contribute all your strength to the Elf Territory."

"Of course I will." Du Lin nodded.

He smiled and patted Du Lin's face: "I heard that you have many confidantes."

"Yes." Du Lin smiled a little awkwardly.

He smiled and nodded, then looked at Du Lin's grandfather: "No one is allowed to tell anyone about what was said in the small hall today. Take an oath before leaving."

Then he patted Du Lin's shoulder again: "You're fine, you and your grandfather go first."

"Huh, don't I have to swear?" Yi Xu was a little curious.

"Will you betray your grandson?" Li Lin asked with a smile.

So everyone was happy.

Du Lin followed Old Ish out of the hall.

After a long while, Old Ish finally looked at Dulin and said, "Son, will we really go to war with humans one day?"

"It's not certain that we will fight with humans, but what if there are lunatics and maniacs among humans? Possessing absolute military force is a way for us to protect ourselves, but what will it be like for them?" Du Lin looked at the high wall on the side of the road. The laurel trees growing on the other side of the wall stretched their branches out of the wall.

"...You're right, kid." Old Ish nodded, "But we must keep this matter a secret."

"I believe in my elders." Du Lin was very confident about this - if the three giants of the Military Committee had not appeared this time, Du Lin would not have known his prediction.

The end of all things, you know what, it’s really awesome.

Although the Tsar Bomb might not be produced in one or two hundred years, Du Lin believed that a three-ton ordinary aerial bomb could be manufactured and mass-produced within a few years.

Thinking of this, Du Lin told his old Ishi about this little invention. The latter was stunned and said, "Then why didn't you tell me just now?"

"I just came up with this idea. Since my guess is impossible to realize at the moment, I'll just build something bigger so everyone can hear it."

"Well, let's go back together." Old Ish grabbed Du Lin's arm and turned to walk towards the circular gate.
