Hunter of Mysterious Creature-Chapter 495 - 94: Biochemical Armor_2

Fifteen minutes!

"Yes!!" A researcher forcefully swung his fist and shouted loudly.

Sounds of relief echoed, several people clapped to celebrate, and some even hugged their computers and ran to the side to start preparing for the next phase of work.

"Don’t celebrate just yet! Keep observing! The longer Sun Hang’s fungal stability can be maintained, the more time the preparation team has, and the higher the action fault tolerance rate!" Song Yarong said.

Only at twenty-two minutes and forty seconds did the instrument readings begin to change significantly, and then, in a mere half-second, this mass of fungal threads directly turned to powder and scattered at the bottom of the transparent box.

"Twenty-two minutes and forty-six point seven seconds!" The researcher holding the box carefully placed it on the ground; only then did he realize his arm was intensely sore, almost like it was going to break — with all the equipment, this test box weighs over ten kilograms. Logically, he should have placed the box on the side experiment table right after Sun Hang threw the fungal threads in. But after five seconds, his mind went completely blank, only mechanically reciting the data shown on the screen, completely forgetting to put the box on the experiment table.

Even those observing researchers forgot to remind him about this.

This resulted in the guy turning into a human stand, standing motionless for twenty-two minutes.

"That’s great!" Song Yarong clenched her fist and turned to Sun Hang, "This kind of fungal thread, can you provide it in large quantities? After I increased the duration of my own fungal threads from one point nine seconds to three point four seconds, I found that I couldn’t manufacture this type of fungal thread in large quantities. And forcibly making it gave me a sense of extreme fatigue, which is hard to eliminate whether by rest or medication, and just has to fade away on its own."

"That fungal mass was just something I made casually... I didn’t specifically try to extend its duration... If you need it, I could produce at least a few tons." Sun Hang replied, "But on the condition that there are enough materials around for me to devour and transform into the components of the fungal threads."

From this perspective, the Tai Sui fungal threads still adhere to the law of conservation of mass.

Facing Chimera 17, many of those Fungus Puppets were transformed from soil — the fungal threads buried underground not only connect each Fungus Puppet but, like plant roots, also absorb soil constituents and convert them into materials that form fungal threads.

However, without absorbing external materials, Sun Hang can also split several Fungus Puppets — these Fungus Puppets appear human-sized but are very light, with each puppet weighing less than a kilogram, showing extreme lightweight design.

If it weren’t for the short duration of the fungal threads, this would certainly trigger a revolution in the field of material science.

"That’s wonderful! We won’t even need that much; each PFDA requires less than two hundred grams of Tai Sui fungal threads! I’ll later show you the component drawings, you just need to use fungal threads to construct corresponding parts based on the drawings, and someone else will handle the assembly!"

Song Yarong didn’t tell Sun Hang that to minimize the time loss of fungal threads during assembly, those technicians have practiced over a thousand times these days, optimizing and reducing the entire assembly process from initially thirty minutes to now eighty-five seconds.

"However, I still have a question. How do you plan to stop this thing?" Sun Hang asked, "The safe zone around Chimera 17 is only three hundred meters, if we decelerate early, it increases the risk of being hit by Chimera 17’s reactive response. If we decelerate after entering the safe zone... if I’m correct, even the latest fighter jets with strong short-distance takeoff and landing capabilities need a three to four hundred meter runway for buffering during landing. These jets have a maximum speed of only over Mach 3, yet they begin to decelerate before reaching the runway... now you want a Mach 5 object to decelerate within a three hundred meter distance... or are you planning to crash directly into Chimera 17?"

"You’re slightly wrong; the landing distance isn’t three hundred meters; it’s nearly six hundred meters." Song Yarong said, gesturing with both hands left and right, "From one end of the safe zone to the other end... this is calculating the diameter, not the radius."

"Based on our calculations, excluding the diameter and space occupied by Chimera 17, and maintaining a minimum ten-meter safe distance from Chimera 17, the extreme landing distance available to PFDA is four hundred and ninety meters. After deceleration, we can activate reverse and lateral thrusters, making the final flight path into an arc around Chimera 17... according to computer simulations, the actual landing distance is over eight hundred meters."

"Even with eight hundred meters, how do you plan to reduce the speed of something traveling at Mach 5 to zero within that distance?" Sun Hang continued to ask, "Mach 5, five times the speed of sound, three hundred forty times five, that’s one thousand seven hundred meters per second... those eight hundred meters only provide half a second."

"After PFDA enters the safe zone, it will jettison the rear propulsion system and activate deceleration thrusters at the front of the armor and lateral steering thrusters. At the same time, the armor will launch a sticky anchor hook at Chimera 17, utilizing Chimera 17 for directional deceleration." Song Yarong explained, "In the second stage of deceleration, the armor will automatically disassemble and use internal ejectors to ’launch’ the pilot toward the ground. Simultaneously, safety airbags inside the specialized flight suit will rapidly inflate into a large balloon to cushion the counter-force from impact with the ground."

"Moreover, the balloon itself also carries directional control devices and mini-thrusters, ensuring the pilot won’t bounce out of the safe zone after landing... all this has been simulated on the computer, and we’ve reached the stage for actual testing, but got stuck on the fungal material issue." Song Yarong, while pointing at those researchers, engineers, and technicians who resumed their work, said, "Your arrival helped resolve this problem. In an hour, the first actual equipment test can officially begin!"

"Where are you planning to test? Who is the test personnel?" Sun Hang pointed to himself, "It can’t be me, right?"

"In the southern suburb, we built a training ground simulating the Chimera 17 incubation zone there, with a ’simulation cocoon’ made of high-strength concrete at the center, where the test will take place. As for the test personnel, we’ve already selected them... but if you want to test personally, I can switch out people temporarily!"

"No no, I’ll just watch... also, I don’t need PFDA." Sun Hang immediately waved his hand.

"Indeed, your ability is much more practical than PFDA... seems like we need to make one less piece of equipment in the end." Song Yarong patted her helmet, "By the way, that ability of yours... it’s derived from ’Kui Niu,’ right?"

"Yes." Sun Hang nodded. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"What a pity, if I had known you could acquire such an ability, I might’ve overhauled the original PFDA design and developed a whole new entry apparatus... It’s a shame, really, but now there’s no time for that." Song Yarong sighed, "However, PFDA will suffice!"
