Chapter 41 Harvest
Protected by "starlite," Li Shiming felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Since he had decided to create "white phosphorus bombs" and "thermite bombs" for self-protection, and was dealing with cultivators, the finished products of these bombs were made to be as powerful as he could manage.
He understood clearly, if the power was too low, the explosion would not cover the speed at which a cultivator could escape, thus rendering the weapon useless.
But another problem arose, the power was so great that he could not throw the "thermite bomb" far enough to be outside the range of the explosion.
In other words, once the "thermite bomb" exploded, it was very likely to include him in its blast.
Therefore, he needed a way to survive in the flames of the "thermite bomb," and he found the most feasible method in the large server, IBM z15.
"Starlife" was a fireproof material developed by someone named Morris Ward. Although the original "starlife" was lost with the death of its inventor, later researchers used several everyday household items to recreate a similar "starlife" material.
Starch, baking soda, and glue—when these three materials were combined, they formed the new "starlife" fireproof material.
As for its effectiveness, Li Shiming had already tested it in the server room space.
Li Shiming lay on the ground like the filling under a dumpling wrapper, his face now adorned with a gas mask.
He counted in his mind while listening to the sounds outside.
Fifteen seconds after the explosion, he lifted the "starlife" material from his body, seeing that its surface had turned charred black.
