"Damn, this upgrade was incredible.
Compared to the previous generation, it was practically a perfect optimization and improvement. The Second-generation Coil Model alone was worth millions, maybe even several million Xia Yuan."
Looking at the upgraded Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, Lin Feng was extremely satisfied, especially delighted by the improvements to the Second-generation Coil Model.
Once a coil model reached a certain level, further improvements became incredibly difficult, much like lithium batteries.
Even though companies around the world poured money into lithium battery research, actually improving their performance remained extremely difficult and required enormous amounts of money and effort.
Now that he had unexpectedly obtained the Second-generation Coil Model, it was like picking up millions or even several million Xia Yuan out of thin air, not to mention the countless time and effort it saved him.
"So that was how it worked."
Feeling the memories in his mind, Lin Feng admired himself more and more.
He had actually designed such an exquisite Second-generation Coil Model, raising the kinetic energy of each individual coil by a full 0.3 joules to 3.7 joules. He was simply too smart.
After admiring himself, Lin Feng began drafting a plan for the development of the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.
The release of the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle definitely had to be delayed. At the very least, he needed to wait half a month or even a full month before unveiling it.
Otherwise, he had only just brought out the first-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle for live testing, and then came up with the second generation the very next day. That would be far too exaggerated.
Even though the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle did not seem all that different from the first-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle in terms of overall structure.
But if someone questioned where the Second-generation Coil Model had come from, how was Lin Feng supposed to explain it?
So for the next half month or month, Lin Feng truly could not release the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle. He had to keep it hidden.
Besides, he also needed to make another Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle. Otherwise, if someone came to discuss cooperation and he could not produce a rifle, that would be awkward.
Fortunately, when he had produced the first-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, he had been clever enough to manufacture several copies of the same parts at once. That meant he only needed half a day to assemble another identical first-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.
What happened next proved just how wise Lin Feng's decision to rush-produce another first-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle had been.
The very next afternoon, three police officers from Xiaohe Town suddenly came knocking.
The reason was that an online user had reported that the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle he had developed possessed kinetic energy exceeding 1.8 joules and posed a huge threat to nearby residents.
Hearing that and looking at the three stern-faced officers, Lin Feng was utterly dumbfounded.
He had never expected someone to report him. How much did they hate him? But after thinking it over, Lin Feng realized he seemed to have quite a few enemies.
And so, the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle he had just assembled, still warm from production, was confiscated. When it would be returned was anyone's guess.
Lin Feng was also forced to experience the unusual feeling of being questioned about all sorts of things by the police in his own home.
Fortunately, although the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle's kinetic energy exceeded 1.8 joules and made it a dangerous weapon.
For various reasons, the police station did not forcibly detain Lin Feng. They merely took his statement, put it on record, and left.
After this incident, Lin Feng deeply realized that he truly needed a license—a Military R&D license!
If he had such a license, he would not have to face this kind of situation whenever he researched, manufactured, or tested certain things.
With a Military R&D license, even if he bought and manufactured rifles and cannons, no one could say anything about it. He could completely claim that he possessed and used them for reference and research purposes.
But obtaining such a Military R&D license was clearly no easy task. The authorities would not hand them out casually, because if anything went wrong, someone would be held responsible.
Of course, if he could also obtain a Military Production license along the way, that would be even better. But accomplishing that would not be easy.
As he considered all these matters, Lin Feng made up his mind.
Of course, aside from planning how to obtain military licenses, he also had a heavy task ahead of him. He needed to properly absorb the technology of the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle until the knowledge was fully integrated into himself.
Although the relevant knowledge had been implanted into his mind, allowing him to know how to manufacture the Second-generation Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle.
The process of implanting that knowledge was essentially like throwing him the mass-energy equation E=mc, the formula stating that energy equaled mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light.
But as for why E=mc, why energy equaled mass multiplied by the square of the speed of light, he did not know. The related theoretical verification process behind it had not been given to Lin Feng at all.
Under such circumstances, if Lin Feng could not thoroughly understand the formula and work backward from the result to deduce the cause, then gaps would appear in his knowledge.
And once such knowledge gaps accumulated, he would understand less and less of the knowledge implanted into his mind. In the end, he would be like a primitive man who had learned to use flint to make fire.
Yet he would have no understanding whatsoever of why flint could create fire or the principles behind it. At that point, asking him to improve it would naturally be impossible.
That was a knowledge gap. The sooner such gaps were filled, the better, because they only became harder to address later on.
After all, a pyramid was built by stacking the most basic bricks one upon another. If even one brick was missing, it would affect the pyramid's ability to keep rising, and one day, the pyramid would collapse because of it.
Elsewhere, at the Qu Family residence.
Qu Qiongying hung up the phone in her hand, a trace of daze flashing through her eyes. For a moment, she found it somewhat hard to let go. After all, she had worked there for two years.
As for why she had given up Little Xinjiang Drone and chosen to join Xingtu Technology, there were two reasons: profit and emotion.
First, from the standpoint of profit, after that live-fire test, Qu Qiongying had come to understand the power of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle and its astonishing market potential.
In some respects, its market potential was many times greater than that of Little Xinjiang Drone. Though Little Xinjiang Drone could theoretically enter the military sector and expand its market applications.
Its flight speed was far too slow, making it a natural target, while its signal interference resistance and intrusion resistance were both insufficient...
Moreover, even in its civilian market, once its development reached a certain scale and drew the attention of various countries, its flight zones or altitude might be restricted, or it could even be banned outright...
All these factors limited Little Xinjiang Drone to being merely a niche product. By Qu Qiongying's estimate, the future consumer drone market would likely only reach a scale of thirty to forty billion Xia Yuan.
The Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle might also appear to be a niche product, but it was actually a mass-market product.
For companies, police stations, military forces, bus stations, train stations, airports, entertainment venues, jewelry retailers, schools, and even individual overseas consumers around the world, all of them had a need for this kind of long-range riot-control and public-security weapon.
After all, ordinary rifles and handguns were too powerful. A moment of carelessness could kill or cripple someone, and the consequences would be far too serious.
