27 Chapter 23 Oscillation_1

Translator: 549690339

Compared to an oscillator, Qin Ming had his own more convenient tool—he could use telekinesis to vibrate objects' surfaces. In theory, as long as the vibration frequency matched the object's natural frequency, he could cause the structure of the object to collapse, thus achieving destruction.

It's like swinging on a swing set. Imagine someone swinging and another person pushing. If the pusher applies just a little force each time the swing reaches its highest point, they can make the swing soar high.

This would create a periodic swing (with an approximate frequency of 0.5Hz). But if the pusher was erratic and tried to break the swing's natural frequency, they would end up exerting a lot of effort without getting it to swing.

Regarding resonance, Qin Ming gradually understood that by periodically applying just a little force, he could maintain a vibration with a large amplitude, provided that the applied force's frequency matched the system's natural vibration frequency.

This system had a periodic transformation of two kinds of energy: the continuous conversion between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy kept the system at a high energy level. The input energy (pushing force) was well stored within the system.

Qin Ming had grasped the basic principle of resonance: when the externally applied frequency matches the system's own vibration frequency, the system can store energy well and maintain a large amplitude. When it accumulates beyond the object's endurance, destruction occurs.

He wanted to experiment immediately. Scanning his surroundings, his eyes lit up when he saw the ice cream cone held by the boy next to him.

The crisp cone of the ice cream was a suitable experimental subject.

Acting immediately, he first used telekinesis with the pulse excitation method to roughly determine the cone's natural frequency, and then started to vibrate the surface of the cone at that frequency using telekinesis.

At that moment, the boy, comfortably eating his cone while reading a book, was caught off guard as his cone suddenly cracked into several pieces, the debris falling to the ground and cream smearing everywhere.

Having just turned a page and ready for another lick, the boy stared at his empty palm in confusion. Where did my big ice cream go?

Upon seeing the ice cream on the ground, his eyes reddened, and he burst into tears.

The crying drew the attention of the people around, and a woman hurried over.

"What's wrong, Xiao Liang?"

"Mom, my ice cream fell on the ground by itself."

"Are you sure it fell by itself?" The woman looked skeptically at the broken cone on the ground.

"I didn't break it, it broke on its own. I'm telling the truth, Mom."

Seeing that his mother didn't believe him, the boy became so anxious he was close to crying.

By then, curious glimpses from bystanders turned into peculiar stares, observing the mess on the ground.

The woman smiled awkwardly, and just as she was about to look for a broom to clean up, she noticed someone had already picked up a broom and was sweeping.

"Let me do it. You take care of your son."

A gentle and elegant voice arose by the woman's ear, and when she turned her head, she saw a young man, whose appearance left her briefly dazed.

"Thank you, really, thank you so much."

The woman, now realising what happened, showed an embarrassed flush and gratitude towards Qin Ming.

Little did she know, the helpful young man was the real culprit behind the incident.

"Xiao Liang, let's go. Mom will buy you another one," she said, seemingly eager to cover her embarrassment as she quickly led her son away.

Qin Ming, holding the broom, stared entranced at the pieces of the cone on the ground.

Actually, even small powers could be very impressive.

He had used less than one gram of force, and in less than a second, he shattered the cone into dozens of pieces—something he would have considered impossible before.

If he wanted, through vibration, he could even reduce all the buildings within the range of his telekinetic field to rubble, it would just be a matter of time.

Psychic Resonance, got!

So, knowledge is power. All of human tools come from physical laws, whether it's microwave ovens or infrasonic weapons, all use the principle of resonance.

A few minutes later, Qin Ming had cleaned up the ice cream and the bits of cone from the ground and returned to his own seat.

Just as he was about to immerse himself in the sea of books to gain more strength, suddenly, the book in front of him turned into darkness,

Through his telekinetic field, Qin Ming knew that he was being hugged by Liu Yueyue, who showed no intention of letting go.

He tried to speak, but found that no sound could come out—it was just too tight.

No, if this continued, he would be smothered.

Resonance!!!

The nerves, stimulated, sent a dense flurry of electrical signals to the brain, and then...

Qin Ming's first resonance was dedicated to an ice-cream cone, and the second resonance was to some magical thing.

Liu Yueyue lowered her head and saw the buried face, and finally sensed something wrong. She quickly let go, her pretty face turning bright red.

"What are you looking for me for?"

After pausing for a while, Qin Ming looked at Liu Yueyue sitting beside him, his complexion somewhat pale.

"About yesterday, I'm sorry, I didn't know that you had that kind of illness."

Liu Yueyue was a bit awkward, her reddened face showing apology, "And I even got you to carry such a heavy thing, and said those things to you."

"How do you know about my illness?" Qin Ming pretended to be curious.

"You left in such hurry yesterday, you dropped a prescription."

"Actually, I feel very well, like nothing's wrong. Maybe the miracle you mentioned happened?"

"What? That can happen?" Liu Yueyue said in surprise, mingled with skepticism.

"Who knows, maybe that quack's medical skills aren't up to snuff, a misdiagnosis perhaps?"

Qin Ming spread his hands to show he was fine, although in fact, it was almost the case. Before leaving, he had tested himself and most of the cancer cells in his body had been killed by targeted drugs. The drug-resistant cancer cells were still in the minority and posed no immediate threat to his life.

Liu Yueyue didn't quite believe what Qin Ming said. Just yesterday, he was diagnosed with late-stage liver cancer; how could he be all right today unless there really was a medical miracle? She figured he must have said this so as not to worry her.

Nevertheless, she went along with what Qin Ming said.

"Then, shall I take you for another check-up?"

"No need, I know my own body best."

"By the way, you mentioned that quack's name was Chen Lin, right?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"Chen Lin is my aunt." Liu Yueyue rolled her eyes.

"Is that so... what a coincidence."

Qin Ming smiled awkwardly; he had just bad-mouthed her aunt in front of Liu Yueyue.

Qin Ming did not know whether Chen Lin was a good doctor, but she was certainly a good person.

After Qin Ming finished speaking, the two sat in silence, the atmosphere growing strange.

The boy and girl in their second meeting did not develop any so-called affection. Liu Yueyue, although rejected, hesitated, "Shall I keep you company?"

"No need, you can go."

The girl's eyes shone, then dimmed in an instant. She stood up as if nothing had happened, even jokingly saying to Qin Ming, "You know how many guys would love to be alone with a beautiful girl like me. Little brother, you're wasting a super good opportunity!"

Saying this, she got up to leave.

"Wait, don't go yet."

Liu Yueyue, who had just taken a step, turned her head towards Qin Ming, a smile of joy and smugness on her face, "What, you can't bear to let me go?"

"Oh, it's not that. Since you're here, I might as well catch you up on the lessons so I won't have to go to your house in the afternoon."

"..."

I come here with good intentions to apologize and check on you, and you want to give me a lesson?

Liu Yueyue rolled her eyes and was about to turn around and leave when she heard Qin Ming say something else from behind.

"Cough cough, you wouldn't want..."

As if the words had a magic power, the unwilling girl succumbed once again.

"Start your hypnosis then." Liu Yueyue sat down beside Qin Ming, yawning in resignation, "I got up early today, just happens to be a bit sleepy."

???

Woman, are you insulting me?

Qin Ming felt that her words were an insult, so he decided to show this high-school girl a thing or two.
