"Hello, what are your thoughts on the invention of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle?"
The reporter, Chen Hang, seated across from Professor Wang Shan, posed his question.
Upon hearing this, Professor Wang Shan, who was being interviewed, answered with a sigh:
"The Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle? I studied it a little. To be honest, I was truly amazed. I never expected such outstanding talent to exist among the public."
"Oh? Why do you say that? Isn't the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle just a simple toy?"
Chen Hang continued with his question.
"Outsiders watch the spectacle; experts see the craft. The technology contained in this thing is nowhere near as simple as people imagine.
Lin Feng achieved the impossible, successfully raising the theoretical effective attack range from 12 meters to 15 meters—a full increase of 3 meters!"
"The theoretical effective attack range was only 12 meters? Shouldn't it have been 15?"
Chen Hang revealed a surprised expression.
"That's right. Under normal circumstances, the theoretical effective attack range is only 12 meters, not 15.
After receiving the materials you provided, I calculated how much effort it would take to build an identical electromagnetic rifle and whether it could be improved further.
The result was that, with humanity's current battery and materials technology, it would be very difficult to raise the effective attack range of coin ammunition to 15 meters without specifically designing the coils.
Based on current human materials technology, without specially designing the coils, a single coil can impart only 2.2 to 2.6 joules of kinetic energy to a coin at most.
At the maximum of 2.6 joules, eleven coils combined would translate to a range of merely 12 meters.
Yet Lin Feng's Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle achieved 15 meters, successfully breaking the theoretical limit. That is why I said Lin Feng is a talented individual.
The coin Coil Model he designed broke the impossible and created a miracle, successfully increasing the effective attack range of coin ammunition from 12 meters to 15 meters. That alone is worthy of praise."
Hearing Professor Wang Shan's undisguised praise, the netizen "Signal of Hope" wore a proud expression, as though Professor Wang Shan had been praising him.
"Professor Wang Shan, do you think the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle still has room for improvement? After all, its attack range is somewhat short, at only 15 meters."
Reporter Chen Hang continued with his question, but it made Professor Wang Shan shake his head emphatically.
"You may not know this, but with humanity's current technology, electromagnetic rifles are not particularly suitable for development. The reason is still materials and batteries.
Twelve meters is itself the theoretical limit. Reaching 15 meters relied on Lin Feng's coin Coil Model and a control system that perfectly tapped the hardware's potential.
It is certainly possible to increase the attack range further, but the effort required would definitely exceed that of designing the first-generation coin Coil Model, and the funding required would also be greater than for the second generation. It would simply not be worth the cost.
For example, our liquid lithium-ion batteries have already reached their ceiling. Achieving a major performance increase is actually extremely difficult, and the effort expended is somewhat disproportionate to the gains.
That is why so many companies around the world are desperately developing graphene batteries and solid-state batteries. They all want to become the overlords of a new era.
So I believe the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle has very little room left for improvement. An effective attack range of 15 meters has already reached the ceiling.
Even if it could be improved, it would likely only be by half a meter or one meter. A major increase of two or three meters or more is almost impossible."
"I see. It seems Lin Feng's Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle is already quite perfect and has fully exhausted its potential."
Reporter Chen Hang nodded in understanding, then asked his final question.
"Professor Wang Shan, when Lin Feng developed the Handwriting Robot, it sparked a great deal of controversy.
A certain Professor He even called Lin Feng 'a black-hearted businessman who brings no benefit to the nation.' What are your thoughts on this matter?"
"Bullshit! I don't know what that Handwriting Robot is all about, but the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle developed by Lin Feng is absolutely a great invention that will save countless lives.
You may not understand what I mean, because you are unfamiliar with much of the relevant information.
Let me put it this way: do you know how many thieves around the world have been shot dead? Do you know how many people are accidentally killed by firearms every year?
It cannot be counted. Based on their crimes and evidence, these people should not have been mistakenly killed, yet for various reasons, they became innocent victims of gunfire.
Now, the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle developed by Lin Feng can subdue targets from a distance without taking their lives, merely causing them some superficial pain.
That is tantamount to saving many lives. What an immense good deed that is.
Furthermore, without the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, when criminals flee in panic, police officers cannot fire because of numerous concerns. That undoubtedly gives criminals opportunities to escape.
Now that there is a Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, they can fire without hesitation. Naturally, this improves the efficiency of subduing criminals and also reduces many economic losses caused when criminals flee in panic and choose their paths recklessly.
Therefore, Professor He's remarks, condemning Lin Feng's entire life based on the Handwriting Robot, were somewhat arbitrary.
I think he should reflect on his words and conduct. After all, as a teacher and role model, he should pay more attention to what he says and does."
"Good!"
"Signal of Hope" shouted loudly, cheering for Professor Wang Shan's remarks.
Professor Wang Shan's words had struck straight at his heart. After all, it was far too arbitrary for that Professor He to dismiss Lin Feng merely because of a Handwriting Robot.
Setting everything else aside, the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle Lin Feng had developed was now something of enormous value to Great Xia and even the entire world.
So that Professor He was probably just someone seeking fame and reputation. What a waste of the title of professor—he had no shame.
Thinking this, he immediately opened the Weibo app and searched for Professor He. After finding him, he tagged him like hundreds of thousands of other netizens and posted: "A person who seeks fame and reputation."
Before long, Professor He saw those remarks. When he saw that Weibo was filled with people criticizing him, he was initially stunned and confused. But once he understood the truth, he fell silent.
He had to admit that he had indeed made a small mistake. In a fit of anger back then, he had rashly called Lin Feng a black-hearted businessman who brought no benefit to the nation.
Now, seeing the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle Lin Feng had developed, Professor He naturally realized that he had been wrong.
With a sigh, Professor He began working at his computer. First, he deleted his original statement.
Then, he honestly posted on Weibo, admitting that he had been overly concerned about the students and had become so furious in the moment that he lashed out at Lin Feng.
He now admitted that he had been wrong. He should not have rashly dismissed Lin Feng's entire life simply because Lin Feng had developed the Handwriting Robot.
However, at the end of his post, he still called on Great Xia to take the Handwriting Robot seriously and not allow such a product to circulate on a large scale, or else it would be too late for regret in the future.
