Ghosts of the Training Ground

The early discovery of graphene would undoubtedly bring tremendous changes to the world. Although there was little data to support it, Vincent still produced the first graphene battery according to theory.

The test results disappointed him greatly. The battery was far too unstable; no wonder it had never become widespread in his previous life.

For three consecutive days, he and William remained in the underground laboratory at MI6 headquarters. After countless tests, they finally found a solution.

Graphene's high specific surface area made it highly prone to side reactions. During charging and discharging, it underwent significant volume changes, reducing the battery's stability and shortening its lifespan. Its use as an independent electrode also faced structural aggregation issues.

By using alchemy to optimize the battery's internal structure, then layering multiple Undetectable Extension Charms to divide it into dozens or even hundreds of independent modules, the problems limiting graphene's development were completely solved.

But that brought another problem: cost.

The most cutting-edge technology often meant disregarding cost. The Bugatti Veyron, built twenty years ahead of schedule, was a fine example.

However, cost was not much of an issue for Vincent. It merely meant automated production was difficult, and every battery had to be made entirely by hand.

After leaving MI6 headquarters, William threw himself into a new round of research.

If magic could strip out graphene, then science certainly could as well.

On August 17, the Muggle-exclusive Dominator Pistol was finally successfully manufactured in the underground laboratory beneath Succession Society headquarters.

After extensive testing and confirming there were no safety issues, Vincent contacted Hunter.

Edinburgh, Redford Barracks. This was the garrison of the 51st Infantry Brigade and also the location of the Scottish Army Command.

Wearing a pine-green military uniform, Hunter set down the telephone, stepped out of the tent, and looked
