Godzilla Earth: Origin

Chapter 9: The Oxygen Destroyer



What kind of person was Senzaki Daizuke?

Colleagues who had worked with him described him as rigid, meticulous, and difficult to get close to, lacking emotion and appearing almost robotic. When it came to his personality, there were varying opinions and significant differences.

But that was only regarding his personality.

When it came to Senzaki’s talent, everyone who had worked with him would unanimously say that his talent was at the highest level in the entire academic world. He was destined to shine brightly in the future as the next leading figure in quantum chemistry.

And now was the time for that to happen.

“A Study on Free Radicals’ Destructive Reactions to Godzilla Cells and a Simple Method for the Synthesis of a Novel Class of Stable Fluoroxides.”

“Along with the development of a simple device based on fluoroxides—the Oxygen Destroyer.”

Author: Senzaki Daizuke.

“This is the famous paper that made all the experts and professors in our region rush over to see Senzaki.”

In the temporary office of the Northeast Yanjing Godzilla Logistics Department.

Minister Ma of the Yanjing City Government’s Godzilla Temporary Logistics Department took the paper handed to him by someone else and began reading the renowned paper by Dr. Senzaki.

His name had become famous overnight.

A few days ago, the chief editor of Nature Magazine had mentioned in his private social circle that they had received an incredible submission related to the Godzilla operation. The submission claimed that someone had designed a weapon and battle plan that could almost guarantee Godzilla’s destruction.

Initially, no one believed it.

However, the editor kept talking about it every day, piquing the curiosity of the scientists in his circle, but he never revealed any further details. It wasn’t until last night that he suddenly mentioned Dr. Senzaki’s name and a bunch of other information, including Nature Magazine’s assessment of the weapon’s feasibility.

This revelation exploded in their circle. Because the people at Nature Magazine believed that this weapon had the potential to completely eliminate Godzilla.

So, how could the official authorities in East Asia not take action?

Therefore, early in the morning today, Dr. Senzaki’s location had become crowded with people wanting to see him.

Top scientists from various regions had also received copies of his paper.

There were scientists who had rushed over from all over the region, unable to contain their curiosity.

Several officials from Yanjing City had already finished reading the entire paper this morning.

However, as they read, their faces remained silent.

There were no adjustments made at the higher levels.

There was no explanation given to the people below regarding what was wrong with Dr. Senzaki’s Oxygen Destroyer.

This left the logistics team, responsible for Godzilla operations, puzzled. However, now that they had obtained Dr. Senzaki’s paper, they wanted to see what it contained.

But after looking through it, Minister Ma’s hand trembled uncontrollably.

At the end, he slammed the paper onto his desk and angrily shouted, “What is this nonsense? How can this be called a weapon?”

The other officials also had copies of the paper now. As they flipped through it, their expressions turned grim, and their brows furrowed deeply. Those who weren’t experts in biology and chemistry just skipped over the calculations and focused on the conclusions.

The paper was very detailed.

In the paper, Dr. Senzaki first listed the data on toxicology calculations performed by their research teams at the University of Tokyo (because of Tokyo’s destruction, they now shared a laboratory with the Regional Science University) on Godzilla cells.

They began the simulation from the most basic chemical bonds.

Using Yanjing’s supercomputer, they simulated various toxins to determine if they had a destructive effect on the molecular structure of Godzilla cells.

The results were quite natural.

In most of the simulations, conventional toxins had no effect on Godzilla cells. After all, most of these toxins targeted proteins and nucleic acids, which Godzilla lacked entirely.

The few substances that did have an effect were typically more fundamental in their action, requiring an amount of toxin greater than Godzilla’s body weight to be effective.

In such cases, it was more accurate to say that Godzilla would be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of the toxin rather than poisoned.

However, there were some substances that were highly toxic to Godzilla, but they were challenging to synthesize and store.

So, using toxins to kill Godzilla was almost impossible.

That is, until the appearance of the novel class of fluorides (in a broad sense) in this paper, which gave hope to the idea of using toxins to kill Godzilla.

In this paper, Dr. Senzaki used a highly oxidizing novel fluorine compound that he had synthesized before the destruction of Tokyo.

This compound exhibited a terrifying level of toxicity to any known cells, including Godzilla cells, far surpassing any known compounds or elements discovered by humans.

Surprisingly, the manufacturing process of this highly toxic compound, according to Dr. Senzaki’s latest research, was remarkably simple.

It required only a reaction chamber designed by him, which cost less than 5,000 yuan, and raw materials of fluorine gas and oxygen gas.

Following the specified settings for pressure, input time, temperature, and dosage, the miracle would unfold in the reaction chamber.

Even with raw materials worth only ten thousand yuan, the produced deadly gas could contaminate an area of several hundred meters.

As long as you had a device for extracting fluorine from seawater, electrolyzing seawater to obtain oxygen, and a sufficiently powerful motor.

Then, his designed machine could easily create a sea of death.

Even Godzilla would find it difficult to survive in such an area.

Its armor might not suffer any damage.

But its muscles, nerves, and all cells involved in replication would sustain irreversible damage.

It would be paralyzed instantly.

However, this deadly gas would also kill all other life forms.

Regardless of the species, as long as it could undergo oxidation reactions, it would be killed instantly.

It was indeed an Oxygen Destroyer in every sense, a device that used oxidation to annihilate everything.

There were 23 days left until Godzilla awakened.
