Chapter 175: Chapter 143 Bang - Art is an Explosion!

April 7, Sunday.

The Qingming holiday had ended, and due to shift adjustments, Sunday also became a workday.

However, this had no impact on Chen Yun.

Eight o’clock in the morning.

According to his short-term plan, he should have finished drinking snake soup by now and begun his physical training.

But...

Ever since starting the tungsten steel ball training last night, there was no need to continue the pointless exercises with the battle drum’s bronze hammer and barbell in the morning.

It was strenuous and unrewarding, with hardly any effect.

So, after returning from the old factory last night, he had changed the original arrangement, which was supposed to be for physical training, to focus on deepening the use of telekinesis.

In the revised short-term plan 6.1, he slightly modified the first item.

[1: The day starts in the morning, use heated snake soup to train thermal sight at seven, and drink the warm snake soup as breakfast. Then perform a muscle tremor exercise to the point of exhaustion and continue with two hours of telekinesis training.]

Specifically, he changed the last mentioned two hours of physical training to telekinesis training.

Although his telekinesis had only a strength of 50 newtons and still couldn’t penetrate biological organisms, and its precision was only at the level of ordinary tweezers, insufficient to delve into the molecular level of the surrounding environment.

But...

Chen Yun had never neglected his telekinesis.

While typing, he would use telekinesis to control the keyboard, training its precision and endurance.

When playing with dogs, he would also control fabric with telekinesis to tease the dogs, enhancing the flexibility of his telekinesis.

After all, this was his first outward-projecting, non-perceptual superpower.

And for such a telekinesis, commonly a panacea in fantasy novels, he always held a certain level of expectation.

The strength of 50 newtons wasn’t great, unable to accomplish earth-shattering feats. The precision wasn’t fine enough to instantaneously alter things at the microscopic level.

Yet Chen Yun really had tried many things.

He had attempted to mimic air vibrations with telekinesis to achieve remote transmission of voice.

But it was too complex; he wasn’t able to do it initially and still couldn’t.

He could barely confine a certain amount of air, causing it to vibrate and flow to produce sound waves. However, producing specific and precise sounds required more intricate manipulation.

He had researched different air flow and vibration conditions when producing sounds and had experimented many times.

But he was only able to barely control the sound to produce some tones similar to musical scales; more precise control was nearly impossible.

Even when he tried sensing the specific air vibrations when he spoke different words and then attempted to mimic them with telekinesis.

He found the difficulty too high.

It goes without saying, with his current level of telekinesis control, he was far from proficient enough to achieve accurate voice transmission through the air.

It would require much more training to possibly achieve using telekinesis to vibrate air for voice transmission in the future.

Besides that, he had also tried using telekinesis to compress flowing water to form a high-pressure water blade.

But while the idea was appealing, reality was harsh.

The strength of 50 newtons in telekinesis wasn’t enough to form a high-pressure water blade; at best, it could slightly compress the flow of water.

It was even less effective than adjusting the water pressure in a shower.

Even direct damage from a telekinetic punch was significantly stronger than such a strenuous and thankless attempt.

However, strictly speaking,

The idea of the high-pressure water blade wasn’t wrong.

The concept of using a small force from a certain angle to leverage a greater force fluctuation was correct.

For instance, he had tried using telekinesis to break wind while running; although the effect was minor, it did, in a sense, break some wind and slightly boosted his speed.

From this extension, such operations of breaking wind could be integrated into most of his daily activities.

Today, he specifically set aside the morning time, which didn’t require physical training, for telekinesis, to delve deeper into training and experimenting with the wonderful uses of telekinesis under the concept of "leveraging more force fluctuations with minimal strength."

And at this moment, what he wanted to experiment with

was the "feasibility of telekinesis-assisted artificial dust explosions."

The strength of his telekinesis wasn’t high enough, nor was its precision.

Thus, choosing a method that didn’t require high strength or precision was important.

He hadn’t thought of dust explosions before, but today it suddenly seemed feasible.

A dust explosion refers to the explosive combustion of combustible dust such as flour, powdered sugar, aluminum powder, coal dust, plastic powder, sawdust, etc., mixed in the air, when exposed to high temperatures, open flames, or electrical sparks.

Due to their small particle size, dust has a large specific surface area that, once ignited, can rapidly react with oxygen to undergo fast and intense oxidation, releasing a significant amount of heat energy rapidly.

The heat from the combustion rapidly heats the surrounding air and causes it to expand quickly, forming a high-pressure shock wave, thus triggering an explosion.

This kind of explosion not only releases massive energy but can also cause a chain reaction in a closed or confined space, lifting up more surrounding dust to form a denser dust cloud.

The newly formed dust cloud rapidly reaches its ignition temperature in a high-temperature environment, triggering a second and possibly more consecutive explosions, each more intense and wider-ranging than the last.

In any case, using telekinesis to cause a dust explosion was actually a good idea.

Controlling the accumulation of dust wasn’t highly demanding; he could easily gather a pile of scattered dust, but the explosive power was not small.

It perfectly followed the idea of using a small force to leverage a greater wave of power; it was a method that could maximize the use of telekinesis with both low strength and precision.

As for the required ignition condition, he could choose to use thermal sight to achieve it.

Although such manipulation was not as direct as using thermal sight, it was still a good telekinetic strategy.

Moreover, no one said that ignition had to be done with thermal sight.

When the telekinesis finished scattering the dust.

He could continue to manipulate some metals or rocks to create friction or control nearby wild lighters to light it up.

In any case, as long as one was willing to think, there would definitely be ways to ignite it.

Thinking so, he acted on the idea.

Chen Yun contacted Tan Bingtang through an internet cafe and requested another unoccupied open space; Tan Bingtang immediately gave him an address.

It was a newly built warehouse area of Xianghe Real Estate in the Longquan District, sparsely populated nearby.

Around nine in the morning, Chen Yun leisurely arrived there.

He sensed the sparse population around him and the warehouse area cleared of workers and surveillance, and Chen Yun couldn’t help but appreciate Tan Bingtang’s efficiency.

He found the small warehouse that he had discussed with Tan Bingtang.

Inside, there were over a dozen bags of flour.

Chen Yun didn’t waste any words.

He simply began the experiment.

He first walked a few dozen meters away from the small warehouse and then remotely used telekinesis to spread the flour bags.

While he looked expectantly towards the direction of the warehouse.

Chen Yun remotely controlled the flour to scatter freely within the warehouse.

In that silent and enclosed warehouse, the flour danced in the air, light as winter snow, unrestricted and free.

Each fine particle of powder, under the dim light, seemed to illuminate every corner of the space, yet it also hid a hardly noticeable restlessness.

Over time, this seemingly innocent white dust gradually accumulated, layer upon layer, until it covered every visible surface, filling the air with a dense texture of powder.

At this moment, the warehouse was no longer a simple storage space, but a white volcano waiting to be ignited.

Dust explosions have a specific concentration range, the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL), which Chen Yun had researched and controlled the dust to stay within that range.

Now, the concentration of the flour had reached a critical point of danger, where any inadvertent air current or slight touch could trigger the ignition of this suspended dust.

The atmosphere was not only filled with the finesse of the flour but also a tense and oppressive energy, as if the entire space was quietly conveying this: it was on the verge of a disaster.

Any spark could trigger an uncontrollable dust explosion, completely enveloping the calm in thunderous flames.

At this point, telekinesis could be used on some wooden racks inside the warehouse to generate heat from friction and ignite the now explosive-like warehouse.

However, Chen Yun, standing not far away, his eyes glowed with a red light.

He had determined that telekinesis could utilize various objects’ friction and impact to generate heat or sparks, so there was no need to slowly start a fire.

Now, Chen Yun just wanted to see what kind of power it would actually wield.

Thinking this, he did not unleash a very intense thermal sight but just a thermal sight barely strong enough to ignite a cigarette and shot it straight into the warehouse through a crack left in the big door.

Instantly, the entire warehouse was filled with dazzling light and deafening roars.

Flames spread at a remarkable speed through the dusty cloud, creating a powerful shockwave that battered the surrounding walls as though it would rip the entire space apart. The air was filled with the scorching smell and the sharp odor of burned flour, with smoke and fire blending into chaos, devouring the interior of the warehouse beyond recognition.

Flour bags on the shelves flew about like paper in the blast, and the wooden structures crackled in the high heat, quickly collapsing.

The strong wind from the explosion stirred up more flour dust, causing a second, even a third continuous explosion, each more fierce than the last, like a relentless serial killer wreaking havoc in an otherwise peaceful space.

The sounds of intense explosions echoed in his ears.

The concrete walls outside the warehouse were scorched, with cracks all over them.

When the smoke finally cleared, the warehouse was a mess, with collapsed shelves, burning debris, and a thick layer of flour ash covering everything, bearing witness to the sudden disaster.

The air still held a scent of burning charcoal and scorched flour.

"Art is an explosion."

Chen Yun squinted his eyes, a satisfied smile appearing as he looked at the chaos.

The two or three hundred square-meter warehouse was in a complete mess, and the concrete walls were cracked.

Although this single destructive power was not as great as thermal sight or his usual six-ton physical strength,

The fifty newtons of telekinetic force producing such a powerful explosion still filled Chen Yun with immense satisfaction.

Although a dust explosion required many conditions.

And although the power of the dust explosion was not much related to telekinesis, being indirectly triggered,

For telekinesis that’s not very precise and with strength only fifty newtons, managing to achieve this extent indirectly,

What more could one possibly need?
