Chapter 979
However, Wei Wu had actually been prepared for this. Of course, this was not specifically prepared to deal with trouble.
It is for those officials who believe in ghosts and gods. After all, there are still many people who believe in this thing even in modern society.
So, after the official finished speaking, Wei Wu glanced at him and said:
"I must emphasize that lightning is not just a flash in the sky; that is just a phenomenon of lightning releasing energy."
"If I really presented that situation, no one in Fengxian Hall would survive. Do you want to try?"
Upon hearing Wei Wu's words, the official who had provoked the trouble froze in his expression.
Want to try it? Of course he didn't want to! Only a fool would want to try being struck by lightning, but he was not a fool.
But after being pricked by Wei Wu's soft response, he felt even more embarrassed, so he spoke again:
"Marquis Changle, it was you who just said that lightning can be controlled, and that you have already found a way to do it."
"That's why I said that. But now you're saying that once this Fengxian Temple is revealed, no one will survive. That's strange."
"If it can be mastered, why can't it be controlled? Only what can be controlled can be called mastery!"
Upon hearing this, Wei Wu laughed on the spot. This person was obviously trying to change the subject.
What he meant by mastery was the ability to utilize the energy of lightning, but he never said that he could control the lightning that struck from the sky.
So after this man finished speaking, Wei Wu just shook his head and turned to look at Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, you see! This is the person I told you about before, the one who is ignorant and unaware but thinks he knows everything."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not intervene in this matter. He just sat on the dragon throne and watched silently without saying a word.
When the official heard Wei Wu's mocking words, his face instantly turned gloomy with anger and he was about to open his mouth to refute.
However, before he could open his mouth to speak, Wei Wu turned around and looked at the official who had caused the trouble and said:
"I don't blame you for your ignorance, but I have to teach you something: when faced with something you don't understand, it's best to remain silent."
"Because it's the best way to save face. Otherwise, once you open your mouth, you'll just be laughed at and slapped in the face."
"For example, now, when did I ever say that the lightning I control is the kind that strikes from the sky?"
Since the other party deliberately changed the concept, Wei Wu took advantage of the situation and used it to criticize the other party for pretending to know and making a fool of himself.
After mocking him for a while, Wei Wu did not give the other party a chance to speak, and continued directly:
"When I say we can use this energy to benefit humanity, I'm referring to the nature of lightning, not hoping for rain and thunder every day."
"Forget it. Even if I explained it to you, it would be difficult for you to understand it with your intelligence, let alone grasp the meaning of my words."
"Just now you said there was neither flash of lightning nor roar of thunder, and you couldn't be sure it was lightning. Then I'll let you see."
Having said that, Wei Wu did not look at the official again, but walked directly out of the hall and came back not long after.
However, when Wei Wu left, he was empty-handed. When he came back, he was holding two strange things in his hands.
At the same time, there was a craftsman following behind him, holding a black box in his hand.
The civil and military officials in Fengxian Hall had no idea what was in Wei Wu's hand, but modern people are familiar with these two things.
One of them is called an electrostatic ball and the other is called a handheld Tesla coil, and they can basically be classified as toys.
As for the box in the craftsman's hand, others couldn't understand it, but Zhu Yuanzhang knew that this thing was called a mobile power supply.
Just when everyone was curious about what Wei Wu was going to do, Wei Wu turned around and waved to the palace servant next to him.
"Go get a table."
Upon hearing this, the palace servant first looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, and after getting his approval, he quickly called on people to move the table.
Not long after, all the preparations were completed. Only then did Wei Wu look at the official who had caused the trouble and said:
"Where's the lightning? I can show you some of it, so that those clear eyes that reveal so much stupidity can shed a bit of wisdom."
"But I can't do anything about the thunder. It's caused by the release of energy, unless you want everyone in this temple to be struck by lightning."
"Of course, if you really want to try, I can help you. I can let you be struck by lightning and hear the thunder roar up close."
Hearing this, the official's face turned pale, but Wei Wu didn't even look at him.
He walked to the steps leading to the dragon throne, reached out and flipped the switch to turn off all the lights, and the hall fell into darkness again.
Wei Wu then came to the table again, connected the static ball to the mobile power supply, and then turned to look at the officials in the court.
"Everyone, when lightning streaks across the sky, it's only a fleeting moment. This moment is very difficult to capture with the eyes."
“But then I will present that moment and keep it in a state where I can observe it all the time.”
As soon as Wei Wu said this, all the civil and military officials present were curious and looked at him intently.
Seeing this, Wei Wu chuckled, and with a flick of his finger he turned on the switch of the static ball.
In an instant, light generated by electricity shone out from the static ball, illuminating the area around Wei Wu.
The only difference is that this electrostatic ball is a purple light type, so the light coming out from it is also purple.
But the electric wire inside the static ball is blue, and the combination of blue and purple colors makes people unable to help but indulge in it.
At the same time, inside the static ball, tens of millions of electric filaments with glowing roots spread out like vines.
Just like a spirit snake swinging its body, it twisted in the glass ball cage, whipping the glass barrier that imprisoned it with its tail.
These officials had never seen such a magical scene before, and as expected, they were all immersed in it.
But at this moment, Wei Wu suddenly made a move that made everyone exclaim.
He raised his hand, held up a finger and slowly extended it towards the static ball, and soon his finger touched the glass cover.
As soon as the two came into contact, a noticeably thicker electric snake instantly appeared in the static ball and connected to the point where Wei Wu made contact.
Seeing this scene, all the civil and military officials in Fengxian Hall widened their eyes and became nervous.
They were worried that if Wei Wu died in the hall to prove Lei Guang, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be furious.
Fortunately, Wei Wu was not injured. Instead, he looked at them with a smile and said:
"Anyone who wants to try it can come and try it. It's quite interesting."
