Witch's Exchange

"This amount of energy crystal storage is really too small, right?" Dai Sha seemed to have the same doubts as I did: "The warehouse of Jueng United Group in the southwest urban area is actually a large-scale storage and logistics city. The high-density level The exclusive warehouse has an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters, and it is also equipped with advanced three-dimensional shelves, which can hold several layers of goods equivalent to the storage capacity of small and medium-sized standard containers. In theory, it is possible to store thousands of tons of energy crystals."

"If it is energy crystal goods with special value, it may also be stored in a high-secret warehouse area." Dai Sha described the core area of ​​​​the warehouse: "This warehouse area is separated from other places, and access has to be used. Password and two people to unlock. The innermost warehouse door is extremely thick, close to the protection level of the vault. Moreover, the storage capacity can reach hundreds of tons."

In other words, this high-density exclusive warehouse actually has two areas.The outer area is a relatively ordinary shelf area, which can store large quantities of standard energy crystal products.The inner core area is the real high-density reservoir area, which may store special energy crystals including ultra-high-density black energy crystal basic ore.

If only the ultra-high-density black energy crystal ores from the Yueling mining area were shipped out less than 3 tons before being blocked, assuming that those ultra-high-density black energy crystal ores in circulation may be just defective products used by the insiders of the energy-gathering joint industry Those who are smuggled out and sold through loopholes in the rate and system may not be counted.Considering some factors such as normal transshipment applications, it is possible that the actual stock is less than 3 tons.

But Daisha said that some ultra-high-density black energy crystal ores may come from the northern Leiyan mining area, which becomes complicated and it is difficult to explain the actual stock.

Moreover, besides the ultra-high-density black energy crystal ore, are there other types of energy crystals stored in it?

After hearing Daisha's supplementary description tonight, I feel even more incredible.

From the high-protection warehouse at the level of the inner vault to the outer warehouse area of ​​thousands of square meters, all were completely razed to the ground, and all materials were wiped out, except for those strange crystal sands.

Other areas outside the warehouse were of course severely damaged, but they couldn't be compared with the center of the explosion.

How to describe it?

It seems that there is a terrifying death boundary.Within the boundary, erase all matter.Outside the border is the scene of the explosion in a relatively normal sense.

Perhaps, assuming that explosives with an explosive equivalent of tens of thousands of tons can be used to achieve a similar effect, the damage area must not be limited to that warehouse, and there are no two clear-cut damage sites.

How did that happen?It's so unreasonable.

However, perhaps it is also thanks to this "boundary" that does not know whether it exists, which limits the unimaginable destructive power, so that more lives will not be wiped out in an instant.

Going back to the storage capacity mentioned by Daisha just now, I thought of a situation: "Senior sister, if there is only this storage, are they all special energy crystals stored in the core high-density storage area? In other words, could it be , there were no goods on the shelves in the outer warehouse area at that time?"

"Huh? You guessed it right." She folded her arms on the table, leaned forward slightly, looked at me and said, "According to the captain of the investigator at the time, the first thing you see when you step into the warehouse is an empty space." Rows of shelves. If it wasn't for the high-density storage area, he would have thought that the news had been leaked, so that the trip was in vain."

Empty shelves?This seems unreasonable.Even if you monopolize the warehouse, you still have to undertake some logistics transfer functions, so you are willing to waste storage space?

"It is said that the purpose of clearing the shelves is to make room for subsequent batches of high-grade energy crystal ores." She explained the reason: "It seems that they are all super-high-quality white energy crystals with energy densities exceeding 20% ​​of the benchmark value. In the Leiyan mining area."

"In other words, several batches of nearly thousand tons of high-grade energy crystal ore will be shipped in soon?" I made a guess.If it is not urgent and large, why bother to vacate the warehouse area?

But why rush to ship so many super high-quality white energy crystals?The economic value of these things is much greater than ordinary energy crystals.

"That's right, it's expected to arrive on August 8, which is the day after the day of the explosion, so the shelves were vacated." She said, "It's all super-high-quality energy crystals that were expedited from the north through the VS express transportation channel." Normally, the mining area of ​​Nanping Town near the Crushed Stone City ranks second in the country in terms of reserves, and it also produces high-grade energy crystal ore, which is only about 16% behind the highest-grade mineral product index of the Leiyan mining area. But this time it seems that This batch of goods was shipped regardless of the cost."

This is indeed unusual.The mineral products in the Leiyan mining area also have a grade distribution range, but the proportion of high-grade energy crystals is much higher than that of other mining areas.However, the ultra-high-grade white energy crystal ore that is more than 20% higher than the benchmark index will account for no more than 1% of the total theoretical reserves, and it is mixed with other ores of different grades. Picked out after multiple refining processes.

By the way, didn't Daisha say that the bodies of those crystal sands can no longer tell whether they are black energy crystals or white energy crystals, but it is also proved that the goods stored in the warehouse are not all ultra-high-density black energy crystal basic raw ore.

"Could it be that in the well-protected high-secret warehouse, in addition to the ultra-high-density black energy crystal ore, there are also some white energy crystal ore?" I asked.

"Yes, I learned from other sources that it is nominally a super high-grade white energy crystal ore." She replied.

Super high-grade white energy crystal ore?Those energy crystals that are 20% higher than the baseline value?

That's not right... Isn't the vacated outer shelf prepared for these super high-grade white energy crystals?Why do you have to transport it to the inner warehouse where access is particularly troublesome?

"Who knows? After all, it's just a name. Moreover, there is no rule that you must not store ordinary energy crystals." Dai Sha said.

That's right.But I'm more inclined to the former possibility.

Are those spars stored in the inner warehouse really just super high-grade white energy crystal ores?

This question may only be answered by the staff on site.There is only one survivor in the core warehouse, the Renault driver who is still lying in the hospital.According to Daisha, this person was finally rescued from the hands of death, but he is still in a semi-comatose state and cannot accept questioning.

Another investigator who was seriously injured was also rescued, but his condition was similar to that of Renault.

Wright, Flynn, and Felix formed a three-person team and headed to Selangor State.I heard that this society has arrived in Lingchuan City and is conducting investigations in the Leiyan mining area outside the city.They might have also carried out the warehouse survey mission in the southwest urban area on August 8th, but the plan was temporarily changed.

Dodged a bullet.I am grateful for them and sympathize with others who have unfortunately lost their lives.

"They probably won't be able to come back in a short time." Dai Sha said: "It's not just Lingchuan City and Leiyan Mining Area. They may also go to Hongye City in Kano State, and I'm afraid they won't be able to come back in a month or two."

"Red Leaf City?" I was stunned for a moment, and asked, "What is there to investigate in that kind of place?"

After all, it was a "uncivilized land".Although it is located in the Nengjing mining area, conflicts caused by development issues have recently made headlines.In short, a backward and conservative place.

Thinking of this, it is even more difficult to imagine that there are early energy crystal engineering sites in that kind of place, but the local energy crystal mining area has never been developed.

"It's a kind of follow-up investigation. There may be some clues related to Hongye City, but it's just a guess right now." She picked up her cup and took a sip of jasmine tea: "First of all, we have to make a breakthrough from the Leiyan mining area."

It seems that the investigation is not going so smoothly.

Even if such a nasty explosion occurred in the capital warehouse of Juneng United Group, it does not mean that it can swagger to investigate the group's internal affairs from bottom to bottom.

You must know that this group may be intertwined with the interests of the political and economic circles.As Leya once said, for example, Cohen, the deputy speaker of the National Legislative Yuan, is a cousin of the chairman of the group, Kohler.

"By the way, senior sister, I didn't expect you to come here today. I didn't bring the crystal sand with me." I changed the subject: "By the way, there are still some crystal sand left with Professor Meilin. Because I asked him for advice After some questions, he seemed to be quite interested, so he kept some, saying that he would use them for testing."

"It doesn't matter, there are many at the scene." She said with a smile: "It's as much as garbage, scattered everywhere."

"Everywhere?" I was a little surprised: "Isn't it only in the crater at the center of the explosion?"

"No. All the materials in the central area have been destroyed and become invisible, and in the peripheral area, including the broken walls around and the scorched steel bars that 'bow' to the central area, there are some crystal sand embedded." She thought for a while, Another way to describe it: "It's like using crystal sand to paint it at high temperature, and it's embedded very tightly."

That is to say, maybe the special energy crystals originally stored in the high-density warehouse in the center were smashed and blown to the surrounding edges by some force, forming a boundary of crystal sand?

"Our experts have simulated the explosion equivalent in the central area." She went on to say: "To achieve that level of invisible destruction, unimaginable explosives are needed. But the problem is that it is impossible to pile up all the space in the entire warehouse. tons of explosives, not to mention that the shelves in the outer warehouse area at the scene are all empty."

"Besides, if that kind of explosive explosive is really pushed, the damage area will not be limited to just a small area in the center, maybe the entire southwestern city will be destroyed by half." She propped up her arms and clasped her chin with her hands, as if Lost in thought.

No traces of explosives were found at the scene, let alone explosives of that terrifying equivalent.This problem is the same as the computing bottleneck I encountered, what went wrong?

Since no explosives were found at the scene, could Neng Jing be the culprit?

I told her the conclusion I got after consulting Professor Merlin, which was basically consistent with the information she got from other sources.

Simply put, there are two points.

One is the mixture of ordinary black and white energy crystals, which will not cause an explosion, but more of a phenomenon of pathological transformation.

The second is that even if there is a certain possibility of energy explosion in theory, for example, there are related accident records in history, but the time is so long that it is difficult to judge whether it is true or not.Moreover, the theoretical outbreak value does not seem to be able to reach that terrifying scale.

"Although there are many unreasonable and uncertainties, at least there are some certain facts, right?" After thinking about it, Dai Sha concluded: "Ordinary black and white energy crystals, which may include conventional natural super high-grade energy crystals, mixed Together, it is still a relatively benign ore that cannot trigger a field-scale explosion."

"Therefore, there are two singularities. First, whether there are other unknown special energy crystals or other substances on the scene, beyond what we know now." She continued: "Second, if such a thing really exists , What is the degree of correlation and mechanism of action with the abnormal scale explosion."

"As for the former, we will try our best to find it." She let go of her clasped hands, pointing first at herself and then at me: "If there are some strange things beyond imagination, maybe it's up to you to analyze the mechanism." .”

"Ah, me?" I stayed for a while before responding: "Senior miss, I'm just an ordinary student."

"Don't be too modest. You escaped from the clutches of the undead. Whether you understand it or not, there may be some unusual reasons." She smiled and looked at me, making it impossible to guess what she meant.

Uh……?

Does this mean that I am also a "singularity"? ?
