I build nuclear bombs in the giant world - #240 - Chapter 235 Strikes hard

“Successful!” Edward looked at the miniature bug and one-ear earphone in his hand.

The material of the eavesdropping device was scraps from the right arm of his mechanical armor. This mechanical armor was made by his childhood sweetheart Wendy. Wendy had adjusted it many times for him to use it comfortably, but it lacked something. A little bit of metal material will not affect the work.

The entire alchemy process only took a few minutes. The refining array that Ian gave him was perfect. To be honest, the refining array that Edward just used may be the most ingenious refining array that he has ever used so far. It contains knowledge he had never known before.

In Edward’s country, even landline telephones are rare gadgets that can only be used by the military. Long-distance communication can basically only use extremely inefficient telegraphs. This kind of miniature eavesdropping device that can be made just by forming an array is unheard of.

Edward thought that if he reported this thing to the government, he should be able to get a lot of rewards and funds.

But he didn’t plan to do this. His only purpose of becoming a national alchemist was to recover his brother’s lost body. If he handed over the bug, he would get into unnecessary trouble, and the author of the alchemy formation did not allow him to do so. Feel free to give this thing away.

The basic principle of alchemy is equal exchange, and Edward naturally follows the principle of equal exchange. This alchemy formation was not exchanged for his knowledge, but was “lent” to him by Ian. He put these in his heart. Things are clearly divided.

“Then put it on Nina.” Edward nodded, stood up, pressed the flush button on the toilet, and left the toilet.

When he returned to the information room, five-year-old Nina had already woken up.

“So high! So high! Nina, be careful!”

Alphonse lifted Nina up and played with her.

Al’s steel armor looks very tall, but in fact he is just an underage child. His soul was fixed on the armor using a forging formation, so it is easy for children to mix with each other.

“Hahaha! O(∩_∩)O hahaha~!” Nina laughed heartily.

Edward also joined the fun team, and he took the opportunity to stick the bug on the heel of Nina’s shoe and secure it firmly.

Nothing special happened all afternoon. Dusk soon came, the clouds on the horizon burned red, and a government car came to pick up Brother Edward.

In the yard, Edward and the Tuckers said goodbye.

“Thank you very much for taking care of me today, Mr. Tucker, then we will leave for now and come back to visit tomorrow.” Alphonse bowed.

“No, no, I’m the one who wants to say thank you. It’s because of you guys that Nina is so happy today.” Xiu Tucker said with a smile while holding his daughter.

He grabbed his daughter’s little hand and waved it gently: “Come, Nina, say goodbye to your brothers.”

“See you tomorrow, big brother.” Nina waved her hands: “Let’s play together tomorrow.”

“Well, bye.” Edward waved goodbye and got into the back seat of the car.

He looked at Xiu Tucker through the car window. Although the doubts in his heart had not dissipated, after getting along with him for a day, he did not think that Xiu Tucker was a very bad person. Maybe he was overthinking.

“But don’t put your bets on others?”

He looked at his palm, put the single-sided earphone on his right ear, and covered it with his hair.

Colonel Roy was also in the car. He glanced at the thing on Edward’s ear and didn’t ask any more questions.

Alchemists each have their own secrets. This is the default rule in the alchemy world. No alchemist has the responsibility to explain his or her formation formation and alchemy items to others, even if that person is his or her relatives and superiors.

There is only “equivalent exchange” between alchemists, and there is no free prostitution.

“I have sent Lieutenant Lisa to investigate about Xiu Tucker’s ex-wife.” Colonel Roy said in a low voice: “Xu Tucker used to live with his wife in the old city in the south. According to Xiu Tucker’s neighbors, As said, Xiu Tucker’s wife disappeared suddenly.”

“No one knows where she went. We have no record of this person buying a bus ticket and leaving the capital in the government’s household registration list.”

“According to the information obtained, Xiu Tucker moved away from the old city a few days after his wife disappeared. Although the specific date is difficult to determine, the time when Xiu Tucker obtained the National Alchemist is basically the same. Match.”

“In other words, Edward, your conjecture has a certain probability to be correct. The synthetic beast that Shu Tucker refined two years ago may indeed be made by him using his wife. I can’t rule out this possibility. possibility.”

“I want to hear what you two brothers think again. You have been at his house for a day. Do you have any clues?”

“I think my brother has misunderstood.” Alphonse said first: “Mr. Tucker is a very good person, and his daughter is also very cute. I can’t find the purchase record of Madam’s ticket. It is possible that she left in a carriage.”

“Where’s Edward, what do you think?” The colonel turned to look at Edward.

Edward did not answer immediately. He instead said: “Colonel! Stop the car, just park it on the side of the road!”

The car had driven away from Tucker’s house and onto another street.

“Hey, what are you going to do?” Colonel Roy didn’t know what he wanted to do with this sudden request.

“Don’t worry! Let the car stop for a moment! And don’t talk to me, you are too noisy!” Edward covered the earphone in his right ear and listened intently.

“Brother.” The tacit understanding between the two brothers made Alphonse feel something.

Soon he also begged the colonel: “Colonel, please do as my brother said, please!”

“Forget it, you have to explain it to me later.” The colonel frowned. He pulled down the small window behind him and said to the driver: “Stop the car, now.”

The driver nodded. A soldier’s duty is to obey orders. He stepped on the brakes and stopped the car.

Edward listened to the content in the earphones with a livid face. He clearly heard the conversation taking place in Tucker’s mansion.

In the dim mansion, Tucker closed all the curtains, and the thick opaque cloth blocked the dusk light. Only the white candle burned quietly, and the hot wax oil dripped down and solidified on the sterling silver candlestick. Like some kind of jade resin.

These candle oils reminded Shoe Tucker of greasy fats. There is a lot of fat in humans and animals. Some candles are made of animal fats, such as the soaps people use to take baths in this era. In fact, It is a product made from animal fat.

The research behind the various conveniences and technologies that people enjoy may be bloody.

“Dad, what’s wrong with you? Are you unhappy?” Nina poked her chin with her index finger and looked at her father ignorantly.

“I’m a little worried, because the review day is coming again.” Tucker sighed.

“What is censorship?”

“The National Alchemist must report research results every year. Dad’s reputation last year was not very good. If he fails again this year, he will no longer be the National Alchemist.”

“Hey! How could it be! Dad must be fine, you have always studied hard!”

“Nina.” Tucker knelt down and hugged his daughter: “Yes. You have to work hard.”

“The government seems to be a little dissatisfied with me and has already started investigating me. Dad has no choice but to retreat.”

“Hey, Nina, are you tired from playing today?” Tucker stroked his daughter’s hair: “Would you like to study with dad for a while?”

“Is it okay? Won’t you disturb dad?” Nina asked.

“Of course not. Only with Nina here can dad be motivated.”

“Really! Nina is so happy!”

Tucker picked up his daughter and took her to the underground laboratory.

Alexander followed them. Normally, Tucker would not let the pet dog enter the laboratory, but today was an exception. He specifically waited for Alexander to come in before locking the door.

“It would be nice if mom was here.” Nina hugged her father’s neck.

“Ah, it would be great if mom was here.” Tucker placed his daughter on the operating table and fixed her daughter’s wrists and ankles with iron buckles.

“Dad, what are you doing?” Nina blinked and looked at Tucker: “Are you playing games with Nina?”

Tucker didn’t speak anymore. He remained silent, took out the surgical scissors, and burned them on the alcohol lamp.

No matter how Nina asked him, he didn’t reply.

After he sterilized the scissors, he took out the whetstone. The sound of sharpening echoed in the small basement, and the flickering candlelight illuminated his shadow like a demon.

“Dad, why don’t you speak? Are you playing games with Nina?”

After getting no response several times, Nina’s voice trembled.

She tried to break free from the shackles, but she was only a five-year-old girl. Even an adult could not break free from the shackles of steel, let alone her.

A few minutes later, red marks appeared on her wrists.

“Dad, Nina feels so uncomfortable.”

“It hurts so much, Dad”

“I feel so uncomfortable, Dad”

Listening to Nina’s call, Alexander barked at Shu Tucker.

Shoe Tucker kicked Alexander very hard. Alexander was kicked away and let out a whine.

“Go back quickly!” Edward hammered the small window connected to the driver’s seat.

“Go back? Where?” Roy asked.

“Go to Tucker’s house! Hurry up! Listen to me and drive!” Edward yelled with a red face.

But the driver still only looked at Colonel Roy, who was his commander.

“Calm down, Edward.” Roy held Edward’s shoulders: “At least explain what happened.”

Edward ignored him and yanked open the car door latch. Cars in this country still use external physical latch. You only need to lift it slightly to open the car.

He ran towards Tucker’s mansion like crazy, and neither Colonel Roy nor Alphonse realized what he wanted to do.

“Brother!” Alphonse called Edward.

“What an unreasonable bastard!” Roy also stuck his head out the window: “Follow him! Go to Tucker’s house!”

“Yes!” After receiving the order, the driver restarted the engine.

The internal combustion engine made a roaring sound, and the car body trembled. The acceleration of the car when starting was much slower than that of Edward, who was running wildly.

Edward’s location was not far from Taku’s house. Soon he saw the mansion, and Nina’s shouts were still echoing in his ears.

“Dad, you are so scary.”

“Talk to Nina, dad.”

“It’s okay, Nina. Dad will inject you with anesthetic. You will fall asleep soon and it won’t hurt.” The silent Tucker finally spoke up.

“Where is it! Where is it!” Edward kicked open the door of the mansion angrily.

The door lock was directly refined by him using alchemy, and he was running around in this huge mansion.

No, you can’t be impatient!

He listened carefully to the sounds in the headphones, including the sounds of synthetic beasts and the barking of Alexander’s dogs.

He lay on the ground and listened carefully to the sound.

Found it! Underground!

It’s easy to figure it out. Tucker is basically nowhere to be seen during the day. He must have a private laboratory underground!

Moreover, the creation of a synthetic beast requires a lot of preparations, and it is not something that can be completed in a short time. Don’t panic, take your time, and you can catch up!

While he was thinking this, a cry came from the earphones.

Nina cried, not only from the earphones, but also from the wooden floor.

He’s found his spot!

He quickly found a square iron door embedded in the ground next to the data room.

Steel couldn’t stop him, he quickly refined it and broke into the dark basement.

The cries became clearer and clearer, and he finally found the locked door, pressed his hands on it, and formed a circle with his body, arms, and door.

White light bloomed, and the iron door quickly deformed and opened.

He saw Nina locked on the operating table, snot and tears smeared on her face.

Xiu Tucker was standing next to the operating table with an anesthetic needle in his hand.

“Why are you here?” He looked at Edward who suddenly appeared in shock.

Before he could finish these words, Edward jumped up and slammed his steel fist into Xiu Tucker’s face.

Two bloody teeth flew through the air, and the smashed glasses fell to the ground.

Xiu Tucker, a low-level alchemist who kept himself locked in the door all year round, was a pure waste in terms of physical fitness.

He could only bully the pet dog and the five-year-old girl. He was no match for Edward, and he was beaten unconscious in just two punches.

Edward threw him aside, quickly unhooked Nina, and held the crying Nina in his arms.

“Brother, please don’t hit daddy.” Nina said while crying.

“Well, I won’t hit him anymore.”

Edward glanced at Xiu Tucker who was lying on the ground. He was extremely angry and could not hold back his strength. In fact, he knocked Xiu Tucker unconscious with one punch. The second punch was purely to vent his anger.

He took the bug off the heel of Nina’s shoe. Without it, the consequences would have been disastrous.
