Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

graduate School.

Holding the shrinking ray gun, Shen Yun released the captured humans from the space inside the gun, following the instructions in the crow people's memories.

Looking at the three unconscious figures, each no bigger than a finger, Shen Yun pinched the collar of one of the office workers and examined him closely with a magnifying glass.

"It seems to have been scaled down proportionally."

Shen Yun put down the unlucky office worker and handed the captured scumbag over to a TPC employee, instructing him to take the scumbags to the medical department for examination. Then, his gaze fell on the shrinking ray gun in Horii's hand.

There are essentially two principles behind shrinking guns.

A type of particle similar to Pym particles reduces the distance between atoms in an object, thereby reducing its size.

Another method is the cell shrinking gun from Doraemon, which directly shrinks the target cells to achieve the goal of shrinking the body size.

However, the cell shrinking gun in Doraemon has limitations; it can only shrink animals and plants, not other objects.

After observing for a while, Horii used the shrinking ray gun to shine light on some objects in the laboratory.

Objects illuminated by this shrinking ray will shrink proportionally and then be sucked into the shrinking ray gun.

"That's really impressive technology," Horii exclaimed in amazement upon seeing this.

"So it seems the principle behind this shrinking ray gun is to reduce the distance between atoms in an object, thereby shrinking its size. The Crow People's technology is quite advanced," Shen Yun said as he approached Horii.

"However, this shrinking ray gun needs energy to shrink objects and humans alike. As a result, it's completely ineffective at shrinking monsters," Horii said regretfully, looking at the shrinking ray gun in his hand, which had already lost a significant amount of energy.

"Given the size, density, and mass of the monster, it's unrealistic to try to shrink it with a shrinking ray. And even if this gun could shrink the monster, the energy required to do so would probably be quite astonishing," Shen Yun said.

"Yes." Horii nodded, looking at the shrinking ray gun in his hand, and put forward a bold hypothesis:

"If we work backward from the principle of this shrinking ray gun, can we deduce the magnifying light that magnifies objects and humans?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun nodded in agreement and said, "That's possible, but the energy required to enlarge an object would probably be more than the energy needed to shrink it. Moreover, the human body might not be able to withstand the pressure when it's enlarged; the most likely scenario is that the human body would explode with a BOOM during the enlargement process."

"Even if the human body can withstand increased pressure, given the current oxygen levels on Earth, humans would likely suffocate from lack of oxygen very quickly once they grow larger."

"Now that you mention it, it's true." Horii looked at the shrinking ray gun in his hand, his face full of disappointment.

This technology is far too impractical for humans today.

It is a pity that it is tasteless.

"I was so busy chatting that I almost forgot we also need to research ways to counter the shrinking beam," Horii said, slapping his forehead in frustration as he remembered their mission.

"It's not too late to start now." Shen Yun smiled and used the instruments in the research institute to detect light waves to begin analyzing the reduced light.

Their analysis revealed that this shrinking ray gun converts energy into special light, thereby reducing the distance between atoms in the irradiated object and achieving the effect of shrinking the human body.

This technology is not very practical. Putting aside the energy required to shrink an object, what can you do with an object that has been shrunk?

Are we going to follow the example of the movie "Downsizing" and mass-produce miniature worlds?

No wonder the GUTS team never used the shrinking gun after they got it.

It's really useless.

"Since a shrunk light ray is still a light ray, can we reflect this light ray using the principle of light reflection?"

"That's right! As long as we reduce the wavelength of the light and make it diffusely reflect, we can achieve a protective effect," Horii said happily.

"Then let's follow this method."

Soon, protective pods capable of reflecting and reducing light were developed.

Lock on and release that Gardevoir. Lock on, lock on every update of "Tokusatsu: Starting with Ultraman Tiga".

"Let's test it out." Horii loaded the protective cartridge into the Victory Hyper rifle.

"Okay!" Shen Yun picked up the shrinking ray gun and aimed the muzzle at Horii.

Shen Yun pulled the trigger and fired a shrinking beam at Horii.

Seeing this, Horii also pulled the trigger, firing a special bullet that formed a defensive shield in front of him, successfully blocking the effect of the shrinking light.

"We succeeded!" Horii exclaimed, his chubby face beaming with joy.

"Make as many protective ammunition pods as possible. Vice Captain Munakata's hunter squad will be on the move tonight. We need to avoid being discovered by those crow people," Shen Yun said.

With their combined efforts, the two produced ten protective ammunition pods in less than fifteen minutes.

And now, only two hours have passed.

In the original storyline, Horii created a protective pod in just one night by using images of the Crow People emitting shrinking rays.

Now, Horii not only has the physical shrinking ray gun, but also Shen Yun to help analyze it.

It's not an exaggeration to say that a solution was found in two hours.

Shen Yun contacted Jujian Hui and learned that Zongfang had not yet set off. He immediately asked Horii to send the protective ammunition pouch to Zongfang.

He himself returned to the interrogation room.

Inside the interrogation room, only Shinjo and Daigo were present.

The two sat in front of the crow-man, holding paper and pen, and rather miserably used a memory reader to view the crow-man's memories. Then, they used a general language translator to translate the crow-man's language and record the relevant information.

Shen Yun walked up behind Shinjo and Daigo, put his arm around their shoulders, and said with a smile:

"I say, isn't your intelligence gathering method incredibly inefficient?"

"There's nothing I can do, this guy just won't cooperate at all," Shinjo said, looking up with a helpless expression.

"Yeah, that crow-man's mouth is really too tight." Daigo scratched his head in annoyance.

"Is that so..."

Shen Yun glanced at the bound crow-man, wondering if the potion he had developed would be effective against aliens.

"I have a way to make it talk and tell us information."

"Doctor, why didn't you say this sooner?" Shinjo looked at the information he had been recording for half a day and immediately put on a mask of pain.

"You didn't even ask." Shen Yun patted Shinjo and Daigo on the shoulder and laughed, "Wait, I'll be right back."

After saying that, Shen Yun ran out of the interrogation room and went to his research institute to retrieve the vial of medicine that he had previously sealed away.

Having obtained the potion, Shen Yun rushed back to the interrogation room, pried open the crow-man's beak, and poured the potion into his throat.

Soon, the drug took effect, and the crow-man's eyes were half-open, completely falling into a dazed state.

Shen Yun gave the crow-man a hint through the pan-language translation machine.

"You are a kind person, but the act of capturing human behavior has tormented your heart. Therefore, you want to atone for your sins, so you came to us, intending to reveal everything you know."

"Doctor, will this work?" Shinjo asked in a low voice.

"Just watch," Shen Yun replied softly, then looked at the crow-man and said:

"Do you know what to do?"

"I know... I've come to atone for my sins, and I'm going to provide you with information."

The crow-man was initially slow to speak, but he became more and more energetic as he spoke, and eventually he even returned to normal completely.

"Then, please tell me the information you know," Shen Yun said with a smile.

"No problem!" The crow-man readily agreed and began to reveal information.

"No way? This is possible?" Xincheng was shocked.

"This drug is truly terrifying." Daigo looked at the crow-man, who seemed like a completely different person, and felt a sense of dread.
