Chapter 25 Resonance_1

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

It's like swinging on a swing. Suppose one person is swinging and another is pushing. The pusher only needs to apply a little force each time the swing reaches the highest point, and they can make the swing go very high.

This creates a periodic swinging motion (around a frequency of 0.5Hz). However, if the pusher pushes randomly, trying to break the natural frequency of the swing, the result will be a lot of wasted effort and no swinging high.

For resonance, Qin Ming gradually understood that a periodic application of a little force could maintain a vibration with a large amplitude, provided that the frequency of the applied force matched the system's own vibration frequency.

Because the system involved a periodic conversion of two types of energy: the constant transformation between gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy meant that the system always maintained a very high energy value. The input energy (pushing force) was well stored in the system.

Qin Ming had understood the basic principle of resonance: when the external input frequency matched the system's own vibration frequency, the system could store energy efficiently, maintaining a large amplitude of vibration, and when it accumulated to the point that the object could not withstand, destruction would occur.

He wanted to experiment right away. After observing his surroundings, his eyes lit up when he saw the ice cream cone in a nearby boy's hand.

The ice cream cone's wafer, that was a great object to experiment on.

As soon as he thought of it, he began by roughly determining the wafer's natural frequency with pulse excitation through telekinesis, then using telekinesis he vibrated the wafer surface according to its natural frequency.

At that moment, the boy, who was eating the cone and reading a book, a picture of contentment, suddenly heard a few crackling sounds. The wafer cone split into pieces and fell to the ground, cream splattering everywhere.

Just after turning a page and preparing to take another lick, the boy stared at his empty palm in utter confusion. Where did my huge ice cream go?

When he saw that the ice cream had fallen to the ground, his eyes reddened, and he burst into loud sobbing.

The crying attracted the attention of people around; a woman hurried over.

"What's wrong, Xiao Liang?"

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

"Are you sure it fell by itself?" Looking at the broken cone on the ground, the woman was full of suspicion.

"I didn't break it, it broke by itself. I'm telling the truth, Mommy."

Seeing that his mother did not believe him, the boy was on the verge of crying again.

At this time, people around took notice; they saw the mess caused by the child on the ground.

Facing the gazes of several people nearby, the woman smiled awkwardly, and just as she was about to find a broom to clean up, she found that someone had already picked up a broom and was sweeping.

"Let me do it; you take care of your son."

A gentle and cultured voice sounded in the woman's ear. She turned to look and saw a young man. After getting a clear view of the young man's appearance, she was slightly taken aback.

"Thank you so much."

The woman, coming back to her senses, showed a blush of embarrassment and gratitude towards Qin Ming.

Little did she know, the young man helping her was the real culprit.

"Xiao Liang, let's go. Mommy will buy you another one." Seeming to want to cover up her embarrassment, she quickly led her son away.

Qin Ming held the broom, staring blankly at the pieces of the wafer cone on the ground.

Actually, the little one was quite powerful.

Just now, with less than one gram of force, in less than a second, he had shattered the wafer cone into dozens of pieces, something that would have been impossible for him before.

If he wanted to, through vibration, he could even reduce all the buildings within his telekinetic field to ruins; it was merely a matter of time.

Psychic Resonance, got it!

So it is said that knowledge is power; all tools of humankind are derived from the laws of physics, like microwave ovens, infrasound weapons, all exploiting the principle of resonance.

A few minutes later, Qin Ming had cleaned up the ice cream cream and wafer cone pieces from the ground and sat back in his seat.

Just as he was preparing to continue delving into books to draw strength, suddenly, his view of the book in front of him went dark. An odd object blocked his eyes, and his face felt an amazing elasticity and softness.

Through his telekinetic field, Qin Ming knew he was being hugged by Liu Yueyue. This vibrant and pretty tall girl was squeezing him tightly without any intention of letting go.

He wanted to speak, but found that he couldn't utter a sound, the size was simply too great.

This won't do, if it continues like this, I'm going to be smothered.

Resonance!!!

The nerves were stimulated, sending dense signals to the brain, and a strange, tingling sensation rose from a certain part of Liu Yueyue.

Qin Ming's first experience went to the ice cream cone, and the second went to a certain magical region.

As Liu Yueyue looked at the head buried in the massive object, she finally sensed something was amiss and hurriedly let go, her pretty face turning bright red.

"What do you want with me?"

After a moment, Qin Ming, sitting beside Liu Yueyue, looked a bit pale.

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

Liu Yueyue was somewhat awkward, her blushing face carrying an apology, "And I even had you carry such heavy things and said those words to you."

"How do you know about my illness?" Qin Ming was curious.

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

"Actually, I feel quite well, nothing's wrong, maybe the miracle you spoke of happened?"

"Eh? Is that even possible?" Liu Yueyue was surprised, with a touch of skepticism.

"Who knows, maybe that quack doctor is incompetent and misdiagnosed?"

Qin Ming spread his hands, indicating he was fine – of course, in reality, he almost was. Before leaving, he had tested himself and found that most of his cancer cells were killed by the targeted drugs, with only a few drug-resistant cells remaining, which posed no immediate threat to his life.

Liu Yueyue did not quite believe what Qin Ming said. How could it be that he had late-stage liver cancer yesterday and be all right today unless there was indeed a medical miracle? She thought he was probably just saying that so she wouldn't worry.

However, she still went along with what Qin Ming said.

"Then, how about I take you for another checkup?"

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

"Right, the quack doctor you mentioned is named Chen Lin, right?"

"Yeah, why?"

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

"Really... what a coincidence."

Qin Ming smiled awkwardly, realizing he had just been speaking ill of her aunt in front of Liu Yueyue.

Whether Chen Lin was good at medicine or not, Qin Ming did not know, but he was sure her character was decent.

After Qin Ming finished, the two fell into silence, and the atmosphere turned strange.

The young boy and girl did not develop any so-called affection on their second meeting. Liu Yueyue, rejected, hesitated before speaking, "How about I keep you company?"

"No need, you can go."

The girl's eyes shone brightly but dimmed in a split second. She stood up as if nothing had happened, even teasing Qin Ming, "You know how many boys would want to be alone with a pretty girl like me. You're wasting a great opportunity, little brother!"

Saying this, she stood up to leave.

"Wait, don't go yet."

Liu Yueyue, having just taken a step, turned her head towards Qin Ming with a smile of joy and pride, "What, you can't bear to see me leave?"

"Oh, it's not that, I was thinking since you've come, you might as well let me tutor you now, so I don't have to go to your place this afternoon."

"..."

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

Liu Yueyue rolled her eyes, ready to turn away and leave but then she heard Qin Ming say something else from behind.

"Ahem, you wouldn't want to..."

This sentence seemed to carry a magical power, and she succumbed once again, unwillingly.

"Start your hypnosis then," Liu Yueyue sat beside Qin Ming, yawning helplessly, "I got up early today and happen to be a bit sleepy."

???

Woman, are you insulting me?

This made Qin Ming feel insulted, so he decided to show this prospective high school senior girl a thing or two.
