An Unsatisfactory Result

Richard took the Angle Ruler and watched the Lich Old Man leave without calling him back.

He did not have anything urgent that required the Lich Old Man's help at the moment. Letting him study the Magic Puppet was fine.

Of course, Richard remained skeptical about whether the other party would actually study the Magic Puppet.

Shaking his head slightly, Richard picked up the Angle Ruler and began making marks on the stone table with flames, preparing for the equipment installation later.

A week passed quickly.

Richard had completed the modifications to Laboratory No. 2 in the Mechanical Processing Sector, and all the equipment had been arranged properly.

Without hesitation, after making a round of adjustments, Richard switched on the instruments, activated the laser, and began the test.

"Buzz!"

Inside the room, the Laser Emitter hummed, releasing a beam of laser light through a small opening and striking the target.

The remaining instruments then activated one after another to separate Uranium-235 and Uranium-238.

Richard stared at the readings on the numerous instruments, observing the progress of the reaction. From time to time, he made adjustments, his expression exceptionally serious.

Just like that, an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

The experiment ended. In Laboratory No. 2, Richard sat behind a wooden table, looking through a stack of Papyrus Scrolls filled with various data.

After looking for a while, the furrow between Richard's brows deepened. He could not help picking up the Goose Feather Quill and calculating on a fresh Papyrus Scroll.

"Scratch, scratch, scratch..."

Very soon, a final result appeared: 3.865 ± 0.125.

"This number..." After seeing it, Richard's frown became even more pronounced. Somewhat puzzled, he said, "It shouldn't be like this. Why is it close to 4? The energy consumption far exceeds the theoretical value.
