Chapter 52 'Drum Washing Machine'

The news that the magical gunpowder could be mass-produced soon reached the ears of Deputy Minister Xie Zhongquan.

Xie Zhongquan didn't care about the work in his hands and hurried to the underground laboratory to see the magical gunpowder that had been produced.

The magical material of the will-o'-the-wisp is not green, but black, and the Zhurong stone is orange-yellow. When they are put together, the magical gunpowder produced is black and yellow.

After touring the laboratory, Xie Zhongquan found Wang Xiaoming who was resting with his eyes closed in the lounge.

"Professor Wang, you have given me a big surprise." Xie Zhongquan said with a smile on his face as he entered the door.

"Minister Xie is here?!" Wang Xiaoming pointed at the sofa next to him and said, "Please sit down."

Xie Zhongquan sat next to him and talked, and Wang Xiaoming responded from time to time. When they talked about the production of spiritual gunpowder, Wang Xiaoming said that he was already producing it at full capacity and would not delay the headquarters' actions.

Pang Dong happened to come in at this time, and when he saw the deputy minister here, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Professor, the test data of the supernatural gunpowder is out." Pang Dong's voice was filled with irrepressible excitement, as if he had won the lottery.

Wang Xiaoming opened his eyes, reached out to take the data and began to check it——

'The explosive power of the supernatural gunpowder has been greatly improved, increasing by 1.5 times.'

However, no matter how powerful the explosion is, it is only physical damage and cannot hurt evil spirits.

After seeing this data, Wang Xiaoming just frowned slightly, wondering why the explosive power of the supernatural gunpowder had increased so much?

Then he looked down and suddenly saw a piece of data, and Wang Xiaoming's expression quickly became serious.

"The power of gunpowder has increased 1.3 times year-on-year..."

"The strength of the supernatural power has increased by 30%." Wang Xiaoming looked at Pang Dong and continued, "Is this data confirmed?"

"Sure," Pang Dong nodded and replied, "Professor, we have used the spirit measuring instrument to test the spiritual strength of the spiritual gunpowder hundreds of times. All data have excluded other interferences. This 30% increase is the result of averaging multiple rounds of data."

The supernatural power of the latest supernatural gunpowder has suddenly increased by 30%. Why is this?
Wang Xiaoming did not shout 'This is impossible!'

All he was thinking about now was why? He was very curious about the secret behind the increase in the spiritual power of the spiritual gunpowder.

In Wang Xiaoming's opinion, no matter how strong the physical destructive power of the supernatural gunpowder is, it is meaningless. He can try to study the reasons behind it, but he will not take it seriously.

The change in the strength of the supernatural is different. It involves the effectiveness of the supernatural gunpowder in suppressing evil spirits. A 30% increase in the strength of the supernatural is equivalent to a 30% increase in the power of the supernatural gunpowder.

Evil spirits that were originally impossible to deal with may become imprisoned due to this increase in strength, and supernatural events that were originally doomed to fail may have a chance to survive.

"Professor, you are busy, I won't disturb you." Xie Zhongquan left tactfully.

Wang Xiaoming nodded without trying to persuade him to stay. He had already become interested in the research and didn't care about anyone else.

When we got to the ground, the sun was setting.

Xie Zhongquan returned to the office and logged onto the intranet to look up terms such as supernatural intensity and spirit measuring instrument. He felt familiar with these terms, but had never delved into them. After seeing the conversation between Wang Xiaoming and Pang Dong today, he also became interested.

The deputy minister had high authority, and the confidentiality level of the information he was looking for was not high, so Xie Zhongquan soon saw the results of the search.

First, the introduction of the supernatural power.
Supernatural intensity is a concept often mentioned by countries around the world when studying supernatural ghosts, representing the degree of horror of ghosts.

It’s just that people’s research on the strength of supernatural powers is not in-depth, so there is currently no clear standard for ranking supernatural powers in the world.

The main reason is that the intensity of the supernatural only represents the degree of terror between evil spirits, and does not represent the degree of harm that evil spirits do to humans.

When facing evil spirits, no matter how powerful the spirit is, ordinary people are unable to resist. They can only understand the laws of the ghosts in order to survive.

Therefore, the current internationally popular evaluation standard is to rank and distinguish evil spirits according to the degree of harm they cause to humans.

It is divided into C restricted level, B dangerous level, A catastrophic level and S destructive level.

Next was the introduction of the spirit detector: The first thing that caught his eye was a photo of the spirit detector, which looked very similar to the drum washing machine in his home, except that it was much larger.

Xie Zhongquan turned his mouse and looked down, and saw a paper.
"On how to accurately detect the supernatural power of evil spirits"

Signed: Wang Xiaoming.

Xie Zhongquan suppressed his temper and read on. It was all about Wang Xiaoming's thoughts and practices on the spirit-testing instrument.

Although he couldn't understand many of the professional terms, after reading the whole paper, Xie Zhongquan roughly understood some of the ideas in the paper.

After in-depth research and analysis, Wang Xiaoming discovered that whenever a ghost appears or uses its power, it will interfere with the surrounding electrical appliances and magnetic fields.

Moreover, the interference intensity caused by different evil spirits is also different. Based on this phenomenon, Wang Xiaoming came up with the idea of ​​a spirit-detecting instrument.

At the beginning, Wang Xiaoming wanted to make an instrument that could detect evil spirits. As long as this instrument was installed in the city center, it would be able to monitor the supernatural forces in the city. As long as an evil spirit appeared, the headquarters could immediately detect it and dispatch ghost handlers to deal with it.

But he failed. Wang Xiaoming did not create the spirit-detecting instrument he had imagined because there were too many technical problems that could not be solved.

But the hard work was not in vain, as he managed to create the world's first instrument that could detect supernatural powers.

However, this instrument is huge and difficult to move. Most importantly, it can only detect the intensity of the supernatural power in the cavity, but cannot detect the supernatural power around the instrument.

The cavity is the drum part of the "drum washing machine", which is filled with a large number of metal coils. These coils are made of alloys with different gold content. Each alloy has a different degree of psychic resistance. These coils are designed to capture and measure the psychic energy released by the object.

When an object whose psychic strength needs to be tested is placed in a measuring instrument, the psychic energy will affect these metal coils. Specifically, the psychic energy will affect the current in the coils, causing them to change, and these changes will be captured and analyzed by the computer system connected to the instrument.

"What a genius idea!" Xie Zhongquan couldn't help but exclaim after reading the paper.

At the same time, he secretly felt regretful. If Wang Xiaoming's original idea could have succeeded, supernatural events would have been controlled and the current world situation would not have become like this.

Underground laboratory,
In front of the instrument that looks like a giant drum washing machine,

Wang Xiaoming watched Pang Dong control the robotic arm and put a piece of newly produced ghost fire supernatural material into the cavity of the spirit measuring instrument.

"let's start!"

Wang Xiaoming gave the order.

hum!
The moment the spirit-detecting instrument was activated, a sound like muffled thunder was heard, and dazzling white sparks flashed in the cavity of the instrument, as if a miniature thunderstorm had occurred inside.

When the spirit measuring instrument stopped, a large amount of data from the measurement quickly appeared on the computer.

After Wang Xiaoming wrote down all the key data, the spirit-testing instrument was ready to be used next time.

"Continue!" Wang Xiaoming ordered without hesitation.

This time, a cup of blood was placed in the cavity, which was the blood that Li Jun had just provided.

The power of supernatural gunpowder will not increase out of thin air. There must be some influencing factors. After excluding the common raw materials used twice, the influencing factors are obvious, which is the latest produced ghost fire supernatural materials.

With the activation and deactivation of the spirit measuring instrument, the spiritual strength of Li Jun's blood has been measured.

After comparing it with the newly produced ghost fire supernatural material, Wang Xiaoming found that the supernatural strength of the new material was about three times stronger than Li Jun's blood.

The reason why the word "uncertain" is used is because the spirit measuring instrument is not perfect enough. Each measurement will have a certain deviation, and it is necessary to repeat the measurement many times to obtain the average value.

"Okay, that's enough." Wang Xiaoming did not repeat the measurement. For him, this result was enough.

After a brief review, Wang Xiaoming understood the cause and effect.

The spiritual power of the will-o'-the-wisp became three times stronger, which indirectly boosted the spiritual strength of the spiritual gunpowder. The reason why it was only increased by 30% was mainly because the main body of the spiritual gunpowder was Zhurong Stone, and it was the Zhurong Stone that played an explosive role. The spiritual power of the will-o'-the-wisp was only an auxiliary material and could only partially increase the power of the spiritual gunpowder.
