I loaded the dream game

Chapter 209 Summer Solstice: Come to my room, there are good things

Xia Zhi overlooked one thing - he did buy the camera from the girl and became the new owner of the camera, but when he applied for reimbursement from the club, the nature of this identity changed.

It is the community that pays, so naturally, the camera is transformed from a private property into a public property of the community - just like the public ownership of private cars.

However, in this case, unless Yukino resells the camera in the name of the Service Club, the camera will be firmly tied to the Service Club and cannot be thrown away even if she wants to.

Xia Zhi was a little curious. What would happen if the service club was disbanded at this time? Would the camera become an ownerless item again?

But he didn't dare say this out loud, for fear that the club would not be disbanded but he would be kicked out first.

Since it is owned by the club, then of course any member can use it, right?

As long as you apply for use, can you temporarily turn yourself into the temporary owner of the camera?

Xia Zhi did not try this idea for the time being, but just took a selfie for himself before going home.

What made him a little regretful was that he was not able to see what he would look like when he died. The photo still showed him making a V-sign to the camera.

If you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to understand. After all, the life of the Star God is eternal, and he has solidified the "Pseudo-Universe" technique in himself, converging all the timelines of himself into the time plane of "present".

Faced with a being that has neither "death" nor "future", the camera can naturally only see his "present" but cannot capture his final moment.

"It can't fix the future, and there are such limitations... That camera is even more useless than I thought." Xia Zhi complained in his heart.

"I am back!"

When he got home, Xia Zhi greeted everyone as usual.

As soon as he finished speaking, a petite figure ran out of the house and threw herself into his arms.

"Welcome back, Xia Zhi." Hubie raised his little head, blinked and greeted him.

"Are you used to being at home? Do you feel bored?" Xia Zhi asked, touching her head.

Hubie shook his head slightly: "TV... is very interesting, and Xia Zhi is also... very interesting."

"Why do you put me and the TV on the same level?" Xia Zhi, who was following behind, pouted and muttered softly after hearing the girl's words.

"Think about it in a positive way, maybe this will improve your status." Xia Zhi provided his sister with another idea.

"That would be even worse, wouldn't it?"

Xia Zhi puffed up her face unhappily, took Hubby out of Xia Zhi's arms, and said to him: "Okay, go take a shower quickly, the hot water has been prepared for you, if you don't go now it will get cold."

People in this country have an unusual obsession with taking baths, and Xia Zhi is no exception.

Although Xiazhi doesn’t care about such things, I have to admit that it is indeed very comfortable to take a hot bath after a day of study and work.

However, in order to save water, the water for bathing is usually not changed midway, and it is normal for a family to bathe in the same bathtub. It took some getting used to at the beginning of the summer solstice, but then I gradually got used to it.

If you think about it carefully, it's actually the same as going to a bathhouse. You'll also have to shower before taking a bath. Besides, there are only him and Xia Zhi at home, so it's actually cleaner than a big bathhouse.

Xia Zhi didn’t know what other families did, but in his family, considering that girls were more clean, he would usually let Xia Zhi wash first and then he would wash himself.

Thinking about it this way, it’s no wonder that Xia Zhi was worried that the hot water would get cold. After all, he did come back a little late today.

"."Has Hubie washed too?" Xia Zhi looked at the girl and asked.

Hubie nodded slightly, tilted his head and asked, "Summer Solstice... do you want to check?"

"Check, check!" Xia Zhi seemed to have thought of something, her face suddenly turned red, and she stammered:

"So, that kind of thing is now age-prohibited, right?"

——This is true for both parties.

Looking at the petite and cute girl in his arms, countless images flashed through Xia Zhi's mind in an instant, and finally stopped at the news footage of his brother wearing a silver bracelet, sitting behind an iron fence, with a black strip mosaic on his face.

...No, no, this kind of thing is absolutely not allowed!

She quickly shook her head, expelling the fantasy from her mind. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard Xia Zhi say:

"Indeed, forget about the inspection."

call……

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief... Fortunately, her brother still had basic legal concepts.

"Come to my room after I finish my shower."

"Yeah..." Hubie nodded and agreed.

Xia Zhi: “?”

Chapter 210: Hubie's Zero-Point Energy Engine

Xia Zhi was a little worried.

Although a good sister should not pry into her brother's privacy, at the same time, she cannot just watch her brother slide into the abyss of crime, right?

Calling an underage girl to your room alone... is really unhealthy.

At least there has to be a third party present, right?

The more Xia Zhi thought about it, the more worried he became, and then he shook his head vigorously.

No, no, you have to trust your brother.

but……

She suddenly hesitated again.

...If I just go to confirm it, it shouldn't be a problem, right?

Thinking of this, she tiptoed to the door of Xia Zhi's room.

Before she could put her ear close to it, she could hear the intermittent conversation of two people in the room:

"Hubby... I've never seen anything like this before..."

"But, it doesn't matter... If it's the Summer Solstice... Hubie... I can accept it..."

Xia Zhi was silent.

Is it really okay to be struck by lightning right at the opening?

No, no, no, just a few words can't explain anything at all, it may just be a misunderstanding.

Xia Zhi shook her head vigorously, held her breath and continued listening.

"Is there really no problem?"

"no problem……"

“Isn’t that a bit too much?”

"Hubby... can do it..."

"If it doesn't work, don't try to be stubborn."

"Um……"

"..."

Listening to the conversation coming out of the house, Xia Zhi fell silent.

Although it sounds like 030 might still have time to stop it now, but...

As if she had thought of something, her expression darkened.

The girl turned away silently, went downstairs to the kitchen, took out a bag of red beans from the cupboard, put it in the sink and began to wash it silently...

……

Xia Zhi looked towards the door curiously. He seemed to have vaguely heard footsteps outside the door just now?

"Is it Natsuori?"

Apart from her, there is no fourth living person in the family, right?

So, she ran to the door of her room but then went back without doing anything. What was she doing? Taking a walk?

I am puzzled about the summer solstice.

"Um..."

A girl's unclear voice came to his ears. Xia Zhi turned around and just saw Hubie let out a long sigh, grabbed his own tube with his little hand, and pulled it out of the data interface of the mobile phone.

"how do you feel?"

Xia Zhi took back his phone, briefly looked through the densely packed book information on it, put the phone away, looked at the girl and asked.

"Um……"

Hubie nodded, then tilted his head and looked at Xia Zhi and asked, "Xia Zhi... do you prefer cute silver-haired girls over maids?"

"..."

These two don't conflict, right?

Also, could you please stop taking this opportunity to look at my browsing history and focus on your business?

"Already, I've memorized everything...all the theories." Hubie nodded and replied.

Xia Zhi took a deep breath and said, "Then let's get started."

The emergence of the future camera reminded him of his original intention of looking for a strong artificial intelligence like Huby - to monitor the anomalies that appeared in this world for him.

However, given Hubie's current energy shortage, she is obviously unable to do this job. Therefore, before that, Xia Zhi has to find a way to help her solve the energy problem.

A perpetual motion machine with unlimited energy like the previous one is obviously not suitable. Without control over the entire universe, maintaining the continued existence of an isolated system requires a large amount of dream points. Although it is not impossible, it is obviously a waste.

Therefore, Xia Zhi thought that since Hubie used to absorb energy from the elves in the surrounding environment, he might as well continue using this model.

In this way, it is only necessary to replace the original function of the elves with another kind of energy to meet Hubie's energy needs.

So the question is, which energy is better to choose?

Xia Zhi made a simple selection in his mind.

First of all, the energy must be strong enough, or the energy density must be high enough, otherwise it cannot meet Hubie's needs. Therefore, energy such as chemical energy is absolutely not enough, at least nuclear energy must be used.

Secondly, this energy must be easily obtained. It would be best if it could be like the elves in the previous world, filling the entire world and being readily available.

Even considering that Hubie might go to another world in the future, it is not possible to change the energy source accordingly. This requires that the energy type selected must have universality at the multiverse level, so extraordinary powers such as "magic power" or "spiritual power" will definitely not meet the requirements.

After much thought, Xia Zhi set his sights on the ultimate energy source of the universe, vacuum zero-point energy, which is omnipresent in the universe and whose existence cannot be denied as long as there is a material basis.

All matter in the universe comes from the fluctuation energy of the zero-point electromagnetic field. Every material particle in the world is constantly exchanging energy with the zero-point energy of the vacuum.

According to the properties of physical vacuum, as long as matter and space-time exist, people can theoretically extract zero-point energy from any point in space and convert it into the required energy form.

In other words, as long as we can extract the background energy contained in the vacuum, it is equivalent to having an almost unlimited source of energy.

“‘Construct’ — ‘Cold fusion reactor’…”

A faint blue light lit up, and imaginary lines intertwined in the air, gradually forming an extremely complex mechanical device.

"The Casimir engine...preliminary construction is complete..."

Hubie looked at Xia Zhi and said.

Xia Zhi nodded slightly and took a deep breath.

Next, it’s his job.

To explain briefly, what they are doing is actually very simple. First, with the help of existing theoretical knowledge, Hubie uses the ability of his own Mecha-Machina to construct the prototype of the vacuum zero-point energy engine as perfectly as possible.

The general principle is: through the energy focusing process caused by the tip effect of the electrode surface during the electrolysis process, bubbles and vortex motion are generated locally on the electrode surface. In this process, the generation and collapse of bubbles will produce a dynamic Casimir effect, thereby extracting zero-point energy in the vacuum and releasing it in the form of heat energy.

At the same time, the vortex motion is coherent with the zero-point energy to form a rotating torsion field and extract zero-point energy, releasing heat energy on the one hand and forming a quasar vortex structure on the other hand, producing high-energy rays, neutrons and high-energy particles in the center of the vortex, accompanied by highly directional nuclear reactions.

In this way, it is only necessary to add some modifications to reality by Xia Zhi on this basis, and a cold nuclear fusion reactor, also known as a vacuum zero-point energy engine, can be manufactured.

"How did it feel? Was it successful?"

After completing the settings, Xia Zhi opened his eyes, looked at the girl expectantly and asked.

"Um……"

After closing his eyes and feeling it for a while, Hubie nodded slightly.
