Urban Invincible Overlord

Chapter 1061: The Collapse of Technology


"Uh..."

Zhuge Cang's words left everyone present stunned.

Qin Yanyang and some people who understood the principles of nuclear weapons were internally shaken, feeling an absurd sense that Zhuge Cang's analysis was correct.

As for those who did not understand nuclear weapon principles, they stared at Zhuge Cang in surprise—this old man who used to belong to the Hidden Sect World actually understood super atomic principles?

Hu Lizhong took a deep breath and said to Zhuge Cang, "Elder Zhuge, isn't this too far-fetched? Nuclear weapons are very stable before fission, so their elemental structure is also very stable. How could their structure and properties change easily?"

Everyone nodded silently.

Zhuge Cang snorted and said, "Nothing in this world is unchangeable.

Especially the power elements that exist between heaven and earth. Spiritual energy, when absorbed into our bodies by us cultivators, transforms into Inner Strength through cultivation techniques, and stronger ones become True Qi. Hasn't it changed?

As for other elements of heaven and earth, they are even more prone to change.

We talisman masters and alchemists know that combining various different things together, adding a catalyst, can produce different reactions, turning into one or more different new elements.

Now with the changing rules of heaven and earth, spiritual energy is becoming increasingly dense. Under the continuous stimulation of this rich spiritual energy, many elemental properties between heaven and earth have changed to a certain extent; this is not impossible."

Everyone listened, dumbfounded.

Soon someone felt a sense of admiration inwardly.

Regardless of whether Zhuge Cang guessed right or not, just the fact that a cultivator from the Hidden Sect World could say such things made them look at him with new eyes.

He wasn't called the top alchemist and talisman master of the Hidden Sect World for nothing, being so knowledgeable about the various elemental changes in the world.

And some people who knew a little about technology were internally shaken, seriously contemplating whether what Zhuge Cang said had indeed happened.

The Divine Continent is a major nuclear power, with very advanced nuclear capabilities, and is one of the countries with the largest nuclear arsenals worldwide.

There are only five battle zones in total, yet the nuclear weapons of an entire zone have malfunctioned and become ineffective, which is simply unexplainable.

Under normal circumstances, nuclear weapons shouldn't have 'duds'.

Even if there are, it's impossible that they were all allocated to the Northern Combat Zone, right?

Ye Wuya had spent many days with Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang, and after coming to Yunwu Mountain's Base, he had been in contact with the people of the Divine Continent for a long time. For a cultivator above the Foundation Establishment Stage, learning ability is extremely heaven-defying, practically having photographic memory, so he had become quite familiar with the Divine Continent's language.

After pondering Zhuge Cang's words for a while, he fully understood them and said to Qin Yanyang, "What this Brother Zhuge said makes a lot of sense. In the Central Great World, this kind of situation has happened before, and not just once.

Once a technological civilization develops to a certain extent, it either makes a leap towards a star-level civilization, or it experiences spiritual energy revival and rapid technological decline.

Your Earth probably belongs to the latter.

Once spiritual energy revives, the previously established technological level will slowly be weakened, and many previously applicable scientific theories will no longer hold; the scientific system will quickly collapse from high to low."

Although Ye Wuya had recently had some exchanges with certain strong people of the Divine Continent, teaching them the ancient language of the Central Great World, the time was too short, and the ancient language was relatively obscure and difficult to understand, so almost none could understand Ye Wuya's lengthy explanation.

But they vaguely understood Ye Wuya saying Zhuge Cang's speculation was correct, each showing a look of astonishment, then turning their gaze to Qin Yanyang, waiting for Qin Yanyang's translation.

Qin Yanyang was stunned in place, shocked by Ye Wuya's words.

Could such bizarre things really happen?

She confirmed, "Has this really happened before?"

Ye Wuya nodded and said, "Yes, and it has appeared more than once. In the long river of cultivation years of the Central Great World, this situation is already commonplace; I've seen more than three records of this."

Qin Yanyang took a deep breath. Although she was shocked, her worries dissipated significantly.

If only the Divine Continent's nuclear weapons malfunctioned and became ineffective, while other countries' nuclear weapons were fine, it would be a big problem, meaning the Divine Continent would face suppression from other powerful countries.

But now, if all nuclear weapons globally have become ineffective, she would instead feel greatly relieved, thinking this is a tremendously good thing.

The great nuclear powers on Earth possess too many nuclear weapons. Once nuclear warfare breaks out and loses control, the entire Earth would be doomed.

All major powers are extremely concerned about the outbreak of nuclear war, so they do their utmost to limit and restrict the production of nuclear weapons, signing all sorts of treaties to prohibit the use of nuclear weapons.

Now, if all global nuclear weapons have malfunctioned, it would indeed be a blessing for Earth.

In this way, the Earth Human Clan can truly step into the Cultivation Era in the truest sense.

Otherwise, with the current cultivation realms achieved, they are somewhat in a position of neither being able to reach the top nor settling at the bottom.

Even the most powerful strongmen cannot contend with nuclear weapons, not to mention that some less powerful technological weapons can also pose fatal threats to top strongmen.

Once nuclear weapons are completely ineffective, and cultivators reach a certain realm, no technological weapons can threaten them.

A world without the threat of nuclear weapons is truly a world of a cultivation civilization that cultivators like.

"Minister, what did he say?" Hu Lizhong could not help but ask, seeing the complex expression of surprise and joy on Qin Yanyang's face.

Qin Yanyang briefly explained Ye Wuya's words, and the people in the group gasped in astonishment, creating a uproar.

"Is it really that all global nuclear weapons have malfunctioned?"

"Was Zhuge Cang right?"

"How could this be, it's too incredible."

"Yeah, a powerful world of high technological civilization could collapse its technology at such a fast speed; such a thing, if not seen with my own eyes, no one would believe it."

The crowd was abuzz with discussion, all feeling incredulous and amazed.

After a while, the signal officer returned with an extremely grave expression, bitterly saying to Qin Yanyang, "Minister Qin, it seems... other battle zones' nuclear weapons have also malfunctioned... they're still conducting large-scale checks to determine if all nuclear weapons have become ineffective. Minister, how could this happen, are we... is our Divine Continent without nuclear weapons from now on, what do we do?"

This signal officer was also a member of the Military Department; in the secular Martial World, he was considered an elite master, with a very strong mindset, yet now he was about to cry.

Qin Yanyang increasingly believed in the words of Ye Wuya and Zhuge Cang.

She secretly told herself to accept this bizarre change.

But at the same time, she was still very worried.

Worried that only the Divine Continent's nuclear weapons had malfunctioned, while other countries' nuclear weapons were fine.

This matter must be confirmed, otherwise, any high-level member of the Divine Continent would be unable to eat or sleep peacefully.
