Chapter 1 (2/2)
The teacher adjusted his glasses, his heartbeat palpitating in excite he wished to occur in his classroom
A discussion of theories
He could soitimacy of Li Zhen’s answer
The Ancient Books in his collection vaguely mentioned of some sort of ‘atomic’ weapons and such he could not arbitrarily reject his speech The past is filled with numerous unsolvedto unearth the answers It is likely Li Zhen had discovered an Ancient Book describing the ‘atoree
Moments of silence passed
The teacher crossed his ar over his answers
“This… then when the atomic bomb is released, ill be the effect and hoould the world be affected? A specific passage from one Ancient Book n of the Ancient’s God rievous sins And so our ancestors suffered, the land once fertile with its chaos of green had becos of the historical accounts of the scorching flames the Ancients once experienced Li Zhen, can you explain this?”
“Of course”
Li Zhen did not hesitate He stepped out of his desk and shuffled towards the podiuan to speak in an intelligible manner
“In a conventional sense, an ordinary weapon of today does not have the capability and potential to bring about our destruction Because of this, we are siers We’ve not seen it Teacher, currently the greatest weapon in our hands is the boht? It can cause a violent explosion for a few ht?”
“Yes” The teacher nodded “50 years ago, a great scholar from the Imperial Society came across a blueprint froo, the top scientists and inventors across the world gathered at the center of the world and attempted to recreate as in the blueprint With the help of the Ancient Book, they discovered it to be a bomb When the bomb is activated the explosion can spread to a radius of more than 10 meters square”
“And the same nuclear sized weapon can destroy a city”
“Impossible!”
“How could that be?”
“…”
The students cried in disbelief Such concept to the a weapon capable of wiping out a city? Impossible! They flashed their heads towards the teacher for verification
The teacher was stunned His fingers twitched and soul an inner turmoil He dictated a lifestyle based on a sense of rationale and solved probleic
Based on Li Zhen’s answers, the Ancients did have the qualifications to cos of his ancestors to last thousands of years A weapon with ability to destroy the city? Not too far off!
The teacher’s fondness for the Golden Epoch grew deeper
“How do you know this?”
Li Zhen pressed the chalk on the blackboard and wrote down nuclear fission
“What is nuclear fission?”
“Ah… uhers on his te over how to answer such complex subject into a more basic term
“Okay, so it contains atoy and is composed of a type of particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons Beyond this… I don’t know much of the specifics, but the basic principles is the splitting of a single atoine this, in a short aular atoms to millions or trillions even, and when they split, vast aies are released, a nuclear explosion occurs The results are scorching hot temperature that could incinerate the land alk on We then suffer from nuclear exposure or nuclear radiation Our ancestors suffered from this”
The students widened their enius!
They watched with excitement
E = mc2ritten on the board and rows of Arabic numerals
22 = 44 = 1616 = 256256…
“Is this the formula for nuclear fission?”
“Not exactly but the foreometric sequences written on the board has relations to nuclear fission”
All heads looked at the teacher
The teacher sighed and chuckled lowly Never did he expect a youth with brains able to rival those from the Imperial Society to appear in such a small city
“I once had the pleasure of reading an Ancient Book dating froe of the Ancients chronicle of events They called it fission explosion Neutrons and atoms were mentioned in the compendium as you said earlier but so far no one has been able to co No one knows exactly how fission works or what is fission but… I think so far, your version is closest to the truth”
Li Zhen nodded “The world was destroyed by nuclear weapons”
Clap Clap Clap
The students made a sincere applause, amazed and overwhelmed by the revelations they’ve learned So, the Ancients was this powerful? Huh, no wonder No wonder No wonder they seeends
Moreover, it was Li Zhen, a person whoe, the lowest of the low that they’ve learned of their past What an erroneous mistake they’ve made
Li Zhen walked down the podiu The students crowded the door in a hurry while not forgetting to congratulate Li Zhen on the way
“Li Zhen!” The teacher quickly shouted
Li Zhen looked back and tilted his head in puzzlement
“Where did you learn all this? From which Ancient Books?”
Li Zhen smiled aardly “Someone told me”
“Who?”
“My dreams”
