Village chief, your township enterprise sells laser cannons?

Chapter 40 Physics no longer exists!

In that instant, the entire booth 127 fell silent, everyone staring intently at the display screen of the instrument.

After a brief silence, those self-media bloggers were the first to realize that this was traffic, and if they didn't capitalize on it now, when would they?

They quickly turned around, bringing themselves and the instrument display screen into the frame, and shouted loudly into the camera:

"Brothers! I'm at the Guangzhou Military-Civilian Dual-Use Technology and Equipment Exhibition right now, and we've discovered a strange metal—metallic hydrogen! I think the world is doomed!"

"Family members! Metallic hydrogen appeared at the Guangzhou Military-Civilian Dual-Use Technology and Equipment Exhibition. I don't think it's metallic hydrogen; I think it's more like a spiritual revival."

"Fellow Daoists, the Heavenly Dao is at its forty-ninth stage, and the Great Dao has vanished by one. The singularity we have been searching for has now appeared. A great change in the world is imminent. Fellow Daoists, let's all increase our holdings together!"

The group doing the live stream made a lot of noise, creating a chaotic scene. But soon, several booths next door erupted with even louder noise.

"Holy crap! Physics has vanished! How the hell can there be metallic hydrogen at room temperature and pressure? This is definitely a problem with your equipment, absolutely a problem with your equipment. I always said that domestic equipment isn't as good as Japanese equipment."

"Idiot, the US has the best testing equipment, then Germany, and then Japan. If you want to cry at a grave, go somewhere else!"

"This guy's a Japanese soldier, get him out of here!"

"Haha, physics no longer exists, the Trisolarans are coming soon, I want to be the hunter in that dark forest."

"Even if the Trisolarans came, it wouldn't make a difference. They would just get beaten up. The Trisolarans have only unfolded atoms to create a super intelligence, which relies on their brains. This is about forcibly molding hydrogen atoms into metal and maintaining it at room temperature and pressure. This is pure brute force. Faced with a monster of mechanics, I choose to fight a monster of numbers."

"...Hey buddy over there, move aside, let's go check out some other booths."

Amidst the commotion, Qin Zheng picked up the metal block from the counter and looked very seriously at the staff at booth number 127: "You can confirm that this metal is not beryllium, right?"

Across from them, the staff at booth number 127, who were checking if their equipment was malfunctioning, looked up upon hearing the sound. Noticing Qin Zheng's gaze fixed on the metal block, they nodded and said, "Confirmed!"

Having received this reply, Qin Zheng stuffed the metal block into her pocket, pressed it down with her hand, and turned to the two students, saying:

"Let's go to booth number 134."

The three of them, master and apprentice, slowly squeezed against the flow of people towards booth number 134. After pushing aside yet another person blocking their way, Qin Zheng's student asked him:

"Professor, if you research this, would you be qualified to become an academician?"

"What the hell!" Qin Zheng rolled her eyes, pushed through the crowd, and muttered as she walked, "I've spent half my life studying fish, and now you want me to break through in materials science?"

"I'm insane!"

"Also, if they can just take this out and play with it so casually, what else do you think they have?"

Qin Zheng's question stumped his student. The student stood there stunned for a few seconds, then his eyes widened, and he quickly followed up with Qin Zheng: "Teacher, do you think it's too late for me to leave the sect now?"

"Give up on that idea!" Qin Zheng cursed again, walked around the two people in front of her, and reappeared outside booth number 134.

Seeing the young man standing inside the booth, smiling at the crowd, and noticing the information board next to him and the piece of metal that had reappeared on the counter, Qin Zheng felt a mix of emotions.

Ten minutes earlier, he thought the other party was just trying to attract attention.

Ten minutes later, he realized that he was the one who was just trying to attract attention.

Based on the tests just now, even if the silvery-white metal in front of us is not metallic hydrogen, it is still a unique technique that binds hydrogen atoms together, allowing them to remain solid at room temperature and pressure.

Those who can develop such technology are among the best in the field of materials science, both domestically and internationally.

He must be at least an expert at the academician level!

Based on these observations, it's highly likely that this seemingly ugly laser defense system, along with the seemingly insignificant battery next to it, is real. The numbers might be a bit inaccurate, but it's definitely better than what we have now.

Maybe this battery can help me.

Moreover, knowing someone who has developed these technologies won't do you any harm; you might need their help in the future.

As for the young man in front of him, he should be the other party's apprentice.

Look at this poorly made thing in this booth.

Not very mature.

The thought that even such a powerful figure needed to worry about his apprentices made Qin Zheng suddenly feel very balanced.

All students are the same!

They are all incompetent individuals who cannot shake their position in academia and end up making themselves infamous in the education sector.

Having made up her mind, Qin Zheng calmed herself down, then took another step closer to the counter, took out the metallic hydrogen from her pocket, placed it on the counter, and asked Lin Man inside:

"Young man, could you explain how your team manages to bind hydrogen atoms together?"

With the idea of ​​getting to know a big shot in mind, Qin Zheng unconsciously began to use respectful language in her speech.

"This is hard to explain!" Inside the booth, Lin Man recalled the process data that appeared along with metallic hydrogen and gave a vague but very appropriate response.

"I understand, I understand!" Qin Zheng said, expressing his understanding. He was about to explain his purpose when he noticed the young man inside the booth squinting and scrutinizing him.

Inside the booth, Lin Man sized up the person in front of him from head to toe, and cautiously asked, "Are you Professor Qin Zheng? Professor Qin Zheng, Dean of the Fisheries Research Institute of Ocean University?"

The unexpected question stumped Qin Zheng, but it also filled him with immense joy.

Although he didn't know how the young man in front of him knew about him, as the saying goes, those who are near the water get the moon first.

Now that the other party knows me, things will be much easier from here on out.

He nodded: "Yes, it's me. And you are?"

Qin Zheng gave a perfectly timed look of question, while Lin Man inside the booth quickly pulled out his phone and found Qin Zheng's number:

"I'm the one who called you on the 18th, asking for your help in guiding aquaculture."

"Secretary Zhang Renhe, do you remember him?"

The name Zhang Renhe instantly brought Qin Zheng's memory back to just a few days ago.

When the flashback ended, Qin Zheng's face broke into a wide smile.

I knew it! How could someone Zhang Renhe had his eye on be an unknown nobody?

Now, putting everything together, it all makes sense!
