Professor Cheng took a deep breath. His expression solemn, he walked into the machine room under the gaze of the many scientists.
The alien flew inside a black inverted triangle, with representatives from every country crowding around and following.
"Shut down the machine for inspection!"

There was nothing funny about this.
This was an equipment upgrade they would never forget for the rest of their lives.
"Bypass it..."
"This part needs a little adjustment."
The gear was placed into the Quantum Amplifier. In order to make the computer run normally, Dr. Galileo and the others desperately fine-tuned it, doing their best to wedge the gear inside without affecting startup.
However, the alien then said, "This won't do. Why aren't you connecting it to the Microwave Circuit? The gear has to be properly integrated. You can't just put it inside the casing and call it a day."
Everyone stiffened. The alien continued, "Pay attention. When connecting it, your theory must be flawless. Imagine all the parameters of the Light Pole Conduit, as well as its material properties. You have to use the gear as the kind of Light Pole Conduit you want it to be."
"!!!" The scene instantly fell into dead silence.
Everyone stared at the alien in shock. Earlier, they had called a deer a horse and claimed this was the Light Pole Conduit. Fine—they
