Great, we're doomed now!

Although it wasn't a professional biological laboratory, it still had the conditions to conduct preliminary tests. The two sent most of the staff away, leaving only a few trustworthy assistants.

Dr. Agasa is more versatile and is better at analyzing and sampling unfamiliar substances. He is like a high school student who has just started an experiment. He carefully preserves the sample, performs some simple property tests, and collects some basic data. The result makes him break out in a cold sweat.

"This thing is actually biological tissue... Let's take the most understandable terms like mass and density as an example."

Blue whales are the largest animals ever discovered on Earth—no, by humans to date—that can grow to over thirty meters long and weigh up to 180 tons, with a density similar to water.

And this creature, this monster? According to you, it's similar to the two shown in the online video, between 45 and 60 meters tall, but if measured in human form, its mass would be tens of thousands of tons!

Dr. Agasa said seriously, "This is not a density that a living organism could have; it's more like that of some alloys."

"This is truly illogical... It can only be called a 'monster,' because it completely denies the existence of evolution!"

While shaking his head, Yao Meifan noted down the data: "The density is like a mixture of copper and aluminum, but the strength is much greater."

The biggest enemy of large creatures is their own weight. Whales can only maintain their large size in the water. Once stranded, gravity alone can immobilize them.

The monsters, with the kinetic energy generated simply by moving, can collapse reinforced concrete buildings... So how strong must their bodies be to withstand such impacts and remain unharmed?

"If we use a nuclear bomb, can it cause fatal damage?" Ye Shou asked seriously, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

This boy... he's not joking—Agasa and Yao exchanged a glance.

After a moment of contemplation, Dr. Yao replied with the same serious attitude: "Nuclear weapons use the enormous energy generated by atomic fission or fusion to destroy targets. Theoretically, they are effective against any living organism, because in addition to thermal radiation and shock waves, the high-energy particles they release will cause damage at the cellular level, directly breaking the molecular chains of DNA."

Ye Shou nodded; he already knew this, and remained silent, waiting for what was to come.

Sure enough, Yawei paused and then said, "However, the cells in this sample are very different from those of ordinary organisms. I suspect that they are protected by some kind of magnetic field-like force. High-energy particles are deflected, blocked, or even absorbed by the cells... I'm afraid this won't work."

Biofield?

That makes sense. After all, someone of that weight can walk on the ground without any problem. Not only is his physical strength high, but the soil beneath his feet is also incredibly hard. It would be impossible without some invisible force supporting him.

"Of course, theoretically, as long as there is enough heat, all matter can be destroyed. The center of a nuclear explosion can reach hundreds of millions of degrees, even exceeding the core temperature of the sun, but..."

Dr. Yawei seemed to have more to say, and Ye Shou nodded, ending the discussion.

First, the area of ​​this "nuclear explosion center" is far smaller than its kill radius; it's not a stationary target, and the monster's range of movement is comparatively vast. Second, temperatures in the tens or even hundreds of millions can only be maintained for two or three seconds, or even just one or two seconds. Finally, the yield of a nuclear bomb capable of producing this effect is extremely high, possibly even requiring a hydrogen bomb.

Unless the monster appears in a place like the Sahara Desert, nuclear weapons are basically out of the question.

And we also need to avoid turning Golza into Godzilla...

Ye Shou was not disappointed after hearing this; he simply calmly said that he had remembered it.

—He never actually had the idea of ​​using nuclear weapons.

Other worldviews aside, if it were in Gundam or Warhammer, Ye Shou would use similar powerful weapons without any psychological pressure.

However, the most important things for the Ultras are "environmental protection" and "hope". Nuclear weapons are naturally incompatible with this theme, and Ye Shou suspects that using them to deal with monsters will have a causal backlash effect.

Even other types of black technology weapons, as long as they have a devastating impact on the ecosystem, should be treated with caution—don't forget what kind of things the "Oxygen Destroyer" has bred (although not of the Aurora type)!

The reason he formally questioned Dr. Yao was to obtain an "expert certification" so that this view could be used as the mainstream propaganda within TPC, thereby unifying the understanding of various countries on this matter.

In fact, most monsters do not have a destructive range as large as nuclear bombs, so from an economic point of view, nuclear weapons should not be used casually.

"Mr. Kuze, I want to apologize to you. I was too arbitrary before."

Eight-tailed Fox bowed solemnly to Ye Shou in apology: "If the premise is to deal with this kind of creature, then it is indeed necessary to create an unprecedented laser weapon. Your judgment is correct!"

Please don't do this.

Ye Shou quickly helped him up: "You are a scientist. If the knowledge in your mind is misused, it will have very serious consequences, so it is completely understandable that you are cautious. As for me, I am the same as you. I want to do what I can for this world... for the future of mankind."

So please believe me, I will never use your and Dr. Agasa's research findings for internal human competition, nor will I allow anyone to use them to destroy the natural ecosystem—the facts prove that the universe is extremely dangerous, and Earth is our only safe haven.”

"Yes!" Ya-Tails nodded sheepishly.

To be honest, he was wary of Ye Shou at first, because common sense dictates that the original intention and motivation of this representative of a capitalist enterprise should be primarily for his own benefit. So even though the laboratory was receiving funding from the Jiushi Group, he never completely let his guard down.

But now it seems that he was judging others by his own petty standards.

"It's alright, most people who don't know me think that way." After listening to Bawei's embarrassed explanation, Ye Shou was not angry at all, but rather looked relaxed and happy.

As for the effect of the entry~

"I don't care anymore."

"It's truly admirable that someone so young can remain so calm and composed in the face of both honor and disgrace."

What was I doing when I was his age? Arguing with my advisor?

Looking back now, I realize how impetuous I was in my youth...

Yao solemnly shook hands with Ye Shou, signifying the formal establishment of their cooperative relationship.

Professor Agasa extended his hand as well: "Me too, please take care of me from now on."

Seeing the rare serious expression on that round face, Ye Shou couldn't help but look serious in return and slowly nodded.

Professor Agasa hasn't shown this side of himself much in "Detective Conan." After all, he had a close friend from afar and had adopted a daughter, so he had already reached the pinnacle of his life and had never undertaken such a significant scientific research project.

"Liuli, take that out."

"Yes, Lord Ye Shou."

Liuli placed her small briefcase on the table, opened it after verifying her identity with her fingerprint and iris, and inside was a gemstone with a natural cross pattern.

The two doctors' eyes were immediately drawn to it: "This is redstone... it seems a little different."

"This is a super, or you could say a 'perfect Aja Redstone.' Just as the name suggests, its crystal structure is more complex and perfect than that of ordinary redstone, and its energy-gathering effect is hundreds of times stronger!"

"real?!"

"But its size didn't increase..."

"As expected, the crystal structure of redstone can be optimized!"

"This means..."

"Our previous calculations were correct!"

"In that case, that idea might become a reality!"

Ye Shouyi took out the Super Redstone, and the two scientists immediately became excited. They started calculating on the spot, just like modelers discussing how to color a model.

Liuli glanced at Ye Shou, and after receiving a signal, she turned and left. When she returned with four drinks, the two old men had just finished revising their research direction and were preparing to enter the second phase of their discussion.

"Oh, sorry, I seem to have gotten a little engrossed."

"Haha~ Just like interest groups in college, it's been a long time since I've met someone with whom I can share common ground in both academics and hobbies."

"Perfect timing. As an apology for neglecting you, let's see what we've accomplished these past few days."

"Have there already been results?" Ye Shou asked in surprise. "It's only been a few days."

"Times have changed, and we owe that to the equipment you provided."

Dr. Yao picked up a cup of hot coffee and said with a smile, "In the past, tasks that required a lot of calculations can now be completed simply by using a high-performance computer for simulation. In the virtual space, we can also directly construct the crystal structure model of redstone, making any operation as simple as fiddling with a Rubik's Cube."

"It's an honor to be of help... Is this the place?"

The group arrived at a large, spacious laboratory. The Aja Red Stone, a gift from Ye Shou, was being held by a robotic arm and subjected to various tests under a laser device. However, this was not what Yawei wanted Ye Shou to see.

The two doctors stood in front of a device covered by a silver-gray tarpaulin, which looked somewhat like a boiler in size and shape...

"First of all, you know that the effect of redstone is to amplify the intensity of light."

However, this gemstone is not a perpetual motion machine; it cannot generate energy out of thin air. In simple terms, what it does is 'compress' and 'purify,' much like a magnifying glass focusing sunlight—isn't that easy to understand?

Eight-tailed Fox explained cheerfully: "However, the magnitudes of Red Stone and Magnifying Glass are different, and their upper limits are also vastly different."

It absorbs almost no light, meaning it doesn't experience significant temperature changes. The light refracted by it is focused and its intensity increases thousands of times, making it an extremely stable material.

Therefore, we believe it is very suitable as an amplification device for laser weapons... Of course, we hadn't decided to use it for military purposes before, so we utilized another property of its: extremely high energy conductivity.

After saying that, Dr. Agasa had already lifted the tarpaulin over there, revealing a "crystal pillar" that looked extremely simple, composed of thousands of lenses of different sizes and shapes, as well as a base constructed from various coils.

But that's not all. As Professor Agasa pressed the Enter key on a computer, the machine started up, and Ye Shou and Liu Li looked up at the sound, seeing a circular "skylight" slowly opening in the dome.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a roof at all; there was clearly a machine on it that looked similar to the crystal pillar, only it appeared to be an inverted mirror image.

Dr. Yawei took out several pairs of sunglasses-like props and handed them to Ye Shou and Liuli to wear.

"Hmm, the sun is shining brightly today... Let's get started."

"Ready—Go!"

Buzz~~~~ Clang!

As sunlight shone through the skylight on the roof, a brief pause was followed by a beam of orange-red light that pierced straight down onto the crystal pillar. After countless reflections, the coil base below lit up with rows of colorful flashes.

"Success!"

Dr. Yawei clenched his fist slightly, looking excited. He glanced back and noticed that the maid seemed lost in thought, while Ye Shouze was somewhat absent-minded.

Worried that he hadn't understood, he hurriedly explained, "Redstone structures have extremely high energy conductivity. The difference between this kind of focused light and ordinary sunlight is like the difference between enriched uranium and natural uranium ore; they are completely different in nature."

This device can achieve energy transmission over extremely long distances with extremely low loss rates. If such a device were placed above the troposphere to collect solar energy—

"The troposphere?" Ye Shou suddenly exclaimed.

“Uh, yes.” Dr. Yao was taken aback. “The focused light has the ability to penetrate the clouds, and the loss rate is completely within an acceptable range.”

He paused, then said somewhat uncertainly, "Of course I know that solar power generation is no longer a hot project. I'm doing this mainly for future use with Magnum..."

"No, this is fantastic! This is outstanding!" Ye Shou clapped his hands, his expression almost one of "moved".

"Professor Yao and Professor Agasa, you are geniuses!"

I, Ye Shou, have invested in this project!

"!"

"!"

The two old men looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ye Shou clicked his tongue in amazement: "I only have one small suggestion and request."

"Um, you mean?"

"Could this thing be placed in outer space?"
