Judging from the results so far, it had reached the point of practical use in every respect. Its only flaw was that its lifespan was shorter than that of any artillery currently in service. After three or four high-intensity battles—assuming each lasted no longer than six hours—its core Mathematical Rate Generator would likely melt down, and ships carrying this weapon might become frequent visitors to maintenance docks. But how should I put it? Service life was often a common problem with this sort of high-tech equipment, especially high-powered weapons. Because their power was immense while their architecture remained imperfect, new weapons tended to malfunction and be damaged rather quickly on the battlefield. Some hidden flaws simply could not be inferred through laboratory simulations and mathematical formulas. Only on a real battlefield with a complex environment could the weapon in your hand receive the best test. It was like how Qian Qian and I used to spend at least three days before every exam figuring out how to make cheat sheets, yet after every exam, we still both got our parents called in. Theoretical things always needed actual combat to test them...
