Chapter 104 The Electrolysis of Water Crisis, Wang Yi's New Tactical Ideas
The control room was deathly silent.
Everyone watched through external surveillance as Chen Hu floated in the seawater, along with his enormous, steaming gauntlets. Their minds were reeling, as if struck by a hammer, and they couldn't process what was happening.
"I...I didn't see wrong, did I? Chen Hu...he punched that thing away?" A young team member stammered, his voice trembling.
"It flew away...it must have flown several hundred meters away..." another person blurted out instinctively, his eyes wide like saucers.
They knew Chen Humeng; from the very first dungeon, this guy had been the team's number one brute, with superhuman strength.
But what they were seeing before them was completely beyond their understanding of the word "fierce".
That was a prehistoric behemoth over 100 meters long! A living ocean legend!
As a result, he was knocked down by Chen Hu with just one punch?
"Administrator... this must be another artifact given by the administrator?" Li Bingyao murmured to herself, her eyes filled with shock.
She couldn't think of any other explanation besides the omnipotent administrator.
Only Wang Yi, after the initial shock, felt a complex mix of emotions that he couldn't quite describe.
He looked at the imposing Chen Hu on the screen, then looked down at his own fist, which was still faintly crackling with electricity, and a deep sense of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
There was a time when he was the absolute core of the team, the sharpest weapon to overcome difficulties.
His lightning power is indestructible and a reliable guarantee for all team members.
But once he reached the deep sea, his most prized ability became a joke.
That lightning ball just now, let alone hurt the Megalodon, didn't even scratch it.
On the contrary, Chen Hu, relying on pure violence, turned the tide of the battle with a single punch.
This stark contrast left Wang Yi feeling suffocated.
He wasn't jealous of Chen Hu; he felt frustrated by his own incompetence.
As the team leader, he could only watch helplessly at the most crucial moment, unable to do anything about it.
This feeling is worse than killing him.
Dragon Kingdom National Operations War Center.
"Good! Well done! Hahahaha!" General Lin Zhan slammed his hand on the table, his face flushed with excitement. "This kid, he's fucking awesome! One punch! Just one punch!"
Li Guodong grinned from ear to ear: "Xiao Su, these boxing gloves of yours... are a stroke of genius! They're a perfect match for that kid Chen Hu!"
The entire command center was filled with jubilation, and everyone cheered for Chen Hu's earth-shattering punch.
Only Su Yuan remained calm.
His gaze didn't linger on Chen Hu, but instead, through the administrator's god-like perspective, he precisely locked onto Wang Yi in the team.
He could clearly see Wang Yi with his head down and his fists clenched tightly. Although there was no expression on his face, Su Yuan could feel the dejection and resentment emanating from him.
"This is troublesome."
Su Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
Chen Hu's strength is certainly a good thing, but if it undermines Wang Yi's confidence as the team leader, then it would be a loss.
Wang Yi is not only the core of the battle, but also the soul and brain of the entire team. His mentality is directly related to the stability of the entire team.
"We can't let him get so down."
Su Yuan's thoughts raced.
Should we directly exchange Wang Yi for a stronger piece of equipment? No way.
That would only be a temporary solution, and would only make him feel that his abilities were useless and that he was completely dependent on equipment.
He must be made to realize the value of his abilities.
Lightning is diluted in water…this is a law of physics that cannot be changed. But what if we look at it another way? Who says that lightning in water can only be used for direct attacks?
In Su Yuan's mind, countless pieces of knowledge about electricity and physics began to flash rapidly.
High conductivity... electrolysis... hydrogen... oxygen... cavitation effect!
A bold and brilliant idea instantly took shape in Su Yuan's mind.
A slight smile played on his lips as he tapped the virtual panel, sending a telepathic communication that only Wang Yi could see.
"Wang Yi, don't lose heart."
The sudden sound jolted Wang Yi, who was feeling lost.
It's the administrator!
"I..." Wang Yi opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to begin.
"I know what you're thinking." Su Yuan's voice was calm yet firm. "You feel your lightning is useless in the water, that you've been outshone by Chen Hu, and you're resentful, right?"
Wang Yi remained silent.
The administrator was right; that's exactly what he was thinking.
"You're wrong, Wang Yi. Terribly wrong." Su Yuan's voice suddenly turned serious. "I gave you the power of lightning, not so you could become a reckless brute who only knows how to fight head-on. Your value lies in your mind, in your precise control over energy!"
"In water, the direct lethality of lightning is indeed greatly reduced. But have you considered using it in another way?"
"Use it another way?" Wang Yi was stunned.
"Have you forgotten your junior high chemistry? Electrolysis of water!" Su Yuan's voice carried a guiding tone. "Water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. A powerful electric current can decompose water into hydrogen and oxygen."
"What happens when a large amount of hydrogen and oxygen form bubbles in water? It creates a cavitation effect! The moment these bubbles form and burst, they generate localized ultra-high pressure and shock waves! Although the power is not enough to kill a megalodon, it is enough to cause it severe disturbance!"
"More importantly, these bubbles drastically alter the density and sound conductivity of water! You can create a sonic fog around a Megalodon, completely disabling its sonar system! Turning it into a deaf and blind target!"
Su Yuan's words struck Wang Yi like a thunderclap.
Electrolysis of water...cavitation effect...sound fog...
A brand new door suddenly opened before him.
He never imagined that his lightning power could be used in this way.
This is not simply about force; it's about science and tactics.
"This...this requires extremely precise control over the intensity and range of the current..." Wang Yi's voice trembled slightly as he instantly realized the difficulty of this tactic.
If the current is too strong, it will affect both itself and the base; if the current is too weak, it will not achieve the desired electrolysis effect.
If the area is too large, energy is wasted; if the area is too small, the target cannot be effectively covered.
The amount of calculation involved is astronomical.
"That's right." Su Yuan's voice carried a hint of amusement. "This is the real test for you. You're not just a cannon turret that can only generate electricity, Wang Yi. You're the battlefield commander of the Dragon Team, a master of control!"
"Don't worry about the computational load. Have you forgotten what I can do? I will provide you with the most accurate data support. You just need to act like a surgeon and precisely target your lightning to every 'surgical point' that I have marked for you."
"From this moment forward, you will be the eyes and ears of the Dragon Team. Use your electromagnetic induction to detect every threat in this dark depths of the sea, and use your lightning to create the most favorable battlefield environment for your teammates!"
"Your new mission is to become a living radar in this deep sea!"
Wang Yi's breathing became rapid. The frustration and disappointment in his chest vanished at that moment, replaced by an unprecedented excitement and exhilaration!
A master of crowd control! A living radar!
This is so much cooler than being a soldier who only knows how to charge into battle!
He finally understood the administrator's intention.
Everyone has their most suitable position. Chen Hu is the shield, the hammer, while he is the brain that controls the whole situation!
"I understand!" Wang Yi replied firmly, a renewed gleam of confidence in his eyes. "Tell me, what should I do?"
Just then, external monitoring showed that the megalodon, which had been stunned by Chen Hu's punch, seemed to have recovered from the excruciating pain.
Its one intact eye was filled with savagery and madness, and its massive body began to slowly accelerate again, as if preparing to launch a new attack.
"It's here!" Li Bingyao shouted nervously.
"Don't panic." Wang Yi's voice was as steady as a mountain. He walked to the control panel and issued orders into the team channel, "Chen Hu, retreat to base! Zhao Zihan, go to firing port number three and prepare your new toy! Everyone else, remain on alert!"
"Now, it's time for that big fish to taste the power of technology!"
