Chapter 112 - The Horror Of Artificial Muscle Fibers! Shocked Audience!
Artificial muscle fibers.
It had been studied for a long time.
Seventy to eighty years ago, scientists had begun studying it.
By relying on the characteristics of living creatures, they imitated God’s laws of creation.
This was most certainly a slightly simpler path.
However, artificial muscle fibers had limits.
A large pile of muscle fibers could at most, only produce a few hundred kilograms of force.
For a Gundam…
The f*cking weight was 50 tons.
Moreover, in order to take into account the remaining materials, it had to be at least 110 tons.
A few hundred pounds and 110 tons was a massive difference.
This was something these muscle fibers would never budge.
Of course, if it was needed, it could be made.
But after making them…
There was nothing but muscle fiber.
So, McLean and the others had not thought of this from the start.
This had set the path for an escalating derailment.
But…
At that moment, be it Shepherd, McLean, or 77, they were all interested in the item in Raymond’s hand.
They wanted to know how strong the fiber could be.
The tensile strength of even an ordinary piece of industrial rope was about 4/500 pounds.
They needed to know the force of the fiber’s contraction.
That was the point.
After all, this thing was supposed to power Gundams.
When a Gundam moved, something had to contract.
Just like it was with humans, one had to clench a fist.
The muscles of the forearm had to contract.
It was the same principle.
“Shepherd, how many fibers do you think Raymond needs to pull up this 10-ton Rolls-Royce?”
McLean asked with interest.
That was what he asked, but he already had the answer in his heart.
He estimated 50 strands.
It was about 400 pounds per strand.
A strand of fiber as thick as a cigarette could have a strength of 400 pounds. McLean felt that this was already very impressive.
He considered that estimation to be on the optimistic side
Shepherd’s answer turned out even more optimistic.
“I estimate 35!”
“You’re just saying that?”
“How can that be? According to my calculations, if there are 35, then one would need to have a strength of 570 pounds.”
“Alright, your mental calculation ability is still good.” McLean praised him and said, “Who do you think is closer between the two of us?”
The Shepherd turned to look at McLean and said without thinking, “It must be me!”
“Alright!”
McLean spread his hands and smiled. He did not seem to mind.
He had some past knowledge on this topic.
He had already made a very bold prediction.
A pulling force of 400 pounds was not one many would dare claim.
The bullet screens were filled with confusion.
None of them had caught on.
Meanwhile, Raymond’s experiment was still continuing.
Mounted to the upper support structures of the laboratory, a robot had created a pulley with an iron chain that hung from the roof.
On the roof of the Rolls-Royce, there were a few holes and a few anchor points.
The audience grew agitated.
“You, you, you. If you don’t want it, give it to me!”
“A luxury car being torn apart for experimentation, f*cking prick!”
“Doesn’t the Thunder God know the value of this car? He did not hesitate!”
“What’s there to hesitate about? Everything on the island now belongs to him…”
“F*ck, isn’t that my family’s car? I’m so angry! I don’t care, the program team will pay for it!”
“Really?”
“So assertive. I never thought that Thunder God could be so macho. Otherwise, I would have shipped it away!”
“Haha, do you guys still remember the A8 that the Grozny sat in? Hehe, my luck is much better than yours…”
“You can’t understand it? What does Thunder God want?”
“If you can understand it, why would scientists exist?”
The bullet screens were filled with activity, but Raymond couldn’t see it.
Of course, if he wanted to see it, there was no problem at all.
However, he liked to focus when doing experiments.
Moreover, if he looked at the bullet screens, he might give himself away.
After all, Raymond wasn’t a saint. If some comment ticked him off, he was bound to react.
It would expose himself.
The experiment continued.
The anchor point of the chain and the anchor point of the Rolls-Royce were ready.
Next was the connection of the muscle fibers.
The probes were inserted one by one, and the power lines were ready.
McLean and the others grew excited
It looked like Raymond was going to use a few fibers.
But then, many people were stunned.
Joseph was speechless.
Caroline was speechless.
McLean was speechless.
Shepherd, “What????”
77: “Eh????”
The first time, Ramon had only used five cigarettes.
How big could five cigarettes be when combined?
It was just a little bit thicker than a thumb.
It could lift something that weighed 10 tons?
You must be joking.
McLean shook his head. “Thunder God is just being reckless. This definitely won’t work.”
He said it with certainty.
Shepherd nodded without hesitation.
His previous estimate was already very conservative.
It was already very impressive to think that one cigarette would have the strength of 570 pounds.
But what of five?
A stick with a force of two tons.
Can you believe this?
It’s completely beyond the common sense of physics!
77’s face was expressionless at that moment. She no longer cared about the answer.
It was a lost cause.
The Laws of physics are yours?
How do you want to change it?
Who doesn’t understand?
Even if you’re Raymond!
Even if you’re the famous Thunder God!
Even if you’ve exceeded the limits of physics several times!
That won’t do!
The laws of physics could not be trampled on!
Far Away in Russia, Joseph shook his head helplessly.
“Raymond, Raymond, you have overstepped this time. This is completely impossible!”
Meanwhile, Caroline, who was still broadcasting, was explaining to the audience watching the live broadcast.
“To be honest, I really didn’t expect Grozny to walk this path!”
“The strength of the muscle fibers is indeed very strong.”
“But!”
Those who were familiar with Mam Carol knew that she seemed to like playing this game.
She would praise you first.
When she said “But” and “But”, the next sentence would push you to the ground and rub you hard.
As expected.
‘Thunder God overestimated his design. Even if he has a superpower, even if I don’t know what principle he used, he still can’t change the result!’
‘Five fibers. This means that each fiber has a pulling force of two tons.’
‘Lifting it vertically, I don’t doubt it at all.’
‘To use the power of the five fibers to pull something that weighs ten tons, I immediately came to a conclusion: impossible!!!’
