Chapter 75 The teorite
“A space cannon? I think we have it! Is it like an air compressor?” Gordon asked curiously.
Viclan said, “That’s far from being called a space cannon! Yes, the air cannon has been invented. Its shooting range is mostly within a hundred ters, and 50m is the most effective range.”
The air cannon was also a weapon, and compressing air wasn’t rocket science.
Everyone knew it.
However, the air cannon was nowhere near as powerful as a space cannon.
“The space cannon our Patriarch ntioned is heavy ground-to-air equipnt that doesn’t require oxygen. As you know, air consists of more than just oxygen. A space cannon is more than enough to destroy our nearest satellite.”
“What?”
“Is it that powerful?”
“By compressing air alone?”

Everyone was astonished, including so of the scientists.
Those who hadn’t lived in Neige didn’t know much about scientific research there. Viclan had been working for Neige and put forward the Soanian Theory, which was also essential to the construction of the space cannon.
To be more precise, the space cannon was based on the Void Definition.
However, the Void Definition was a supernatural power, not science, and Himl Soan couldn’t explain it with plain words. Even if he could, the skill couldn’t be used by people without spiritual essence. Therefore, they had to transform it into a scientific theory before implenting it.
Take teleportation as an example. If Himl Soan recovered ten percent of his strength, he could teleport from Moon to Neige in an instant.
To do that, he needed to fixate his ntal force on a specific location in Neige, tear open the space with his spiritual essence, and use his ntal force to create a portal to that location.
Tearing open space would create a suction force like a magnet. When two spots were torn open simultaneously, the two spaces would overlap. As a result, one could enter from one side and walk out from the other side.
Only a physically strong person could do that.
Space wasn’t always intangible. At Himl Soan’s stage, he could see the folds in space, and they were folding upward and downward. Therefore, when he tore open the space, he needed to tear it in a downward motion. Otherwise, it would be too tough to budge.
That was the principle of teleportation.
Himl Soan was aware of it. However, he didn’t know how to explain it to Viclan. Even if he could, would Viclan be able to do it?
Viclan could only study it step by step from the very basic theories. He didn’t even know the shape of space. Himl Soan’s explanation would be too profound for him.
Besides, Himl wouldn’t be able to do it if he didn’t have the spiritual essence. Therefore, it would be very difficult to communicate with Viclan on this subject.
To create the teleportation equipnt, Viclan needed to figure out the shape of space first. He might make other discoveries in the process. The Soanian Theory was the result of a similar process based on the principle of the Void Definition.
After that, he needed to find a controllable substance that could tear open space. Then, he needed to figure out a way to tear open the targeted space. Only then could he complete the teleportation.
The procedures sounded straightforward, but each step was more difficult than the previous one. Without Himl Soan’s help, it would take the scientists three to five hundred years before they could get sowhere.
Himl Soan said, “When the super teorite enters the solar system, it’ll affect all the planets. Earth will be overwheld by natural disasters like super tsunamis, earthquakes, volcano eruptions, and plate collapses. Therefore, we must be prepared. Since the catastrophe is caused by the teorite, it’ll be accompanied by energy from space. Ordinary protection wouldn’t be enough. I think anywhere within 500m underground won’t be
safe.”
He sounded so grave that Henry and Gordon were alard.
“Even 500m underground isn’t safe enough, you said?”
“That’s right. The teorite will create a lot of heat when it enters the atmosphere, hot enough to incinerate everything above ground. 500m is already a conservative estimate.”
Henry asked, “What about the space cannon? Can it stop the teorite?”
That was also what everyone else had been wondering because even Viclan didn’t have the answer.
Only Himl Soan could answer it.
Himl shook his head. “No, it can’t! The teorite has entered the solar system, but it’s still too far beyond the space cannon’s effective range. Even if we have the space cannon now, we still can’t avoid the impact. We need to start building the defense system right now. We have to build a bunker 500m underground as a shelter, and the wall has to be… We have to use…”
He stamred, not knowing how to describe the substance.
He asked Viclan, “Do you rember an insulation substance I ntioned to you when I told you about the Void Definition?”
“Yes, I do!”
“Have you been able to recreate it yet?”
Viclan said guiltily, “Not yet, but I’m on the right track. I’ve combined T02 with Y43, and the material invented is very similar to that substance.”
Himl Soan said, “Show it to tomorrow!”
The material was in fact Himl Soan’s vigorous energy.
All cultivators had innate vigorous energy of their own. It was activated by the human body. Himl Soan knew how to do that, but he didn’t know its origin.
He had told Viclan about it. If they could discover all the secrets about the human body, they would be able to wake up the innate vigorous energy in ordinary people.
There were so many secrets buried in the human body, and only less than 1% had been discovered.
Even 500m underground didn’t feel safe. Heat could be transmitted. Once the teorite hit, the earth would be very fragile, and the ground could cave in. There was the possibility that everyone would be buried alive.
However, the bunkers would be secured if the walls were infused with innate vigorous energy.
Viclan had found both T02 and Y43 in the human body and noticed that when the two substances were combined, they could create a type of energy similar to the innate vigorous energy Himl Soan talked about. He didn’t know if they were the sa thing.
It was possible that cultivators were training to control their bodies.
Maybe in the language of science, Himl Soan could activate the innate vigorous energy because he found a way to combine the T02 and Y43 in his body.
