"Hello, what are your thoughts on the invention of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle?"

Reporter Chen Hang, sitting opposite Professor Wang Shan, asked his question.

Professor Wang Shan, who was being interviewed, replied with a look of emotion:

"The Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle… I've studied this thing, and to be honest, I'm truly amazed. I never expected such outstanding talent to emerge from the civilian sector."

"Oh? Why do you say that? Isn't the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle just a simple toy?"

Chen Hang continued with his questions.

"Onlookers see the spectacle, but insiders see the skill. The technology contained within this is not as simple as one might imagine.

Because Lin Feng managed to break the impossible, successfully increasing the effective theoretical attack range from 12 meters to 15 meters – a full 3-meter increase in effective attack range!"

"The theoretical effective attack range is only 12 meters? Shouldn't it be 15 meters?"

Chen Hang showed a surprised expression.

"That's right, under normal circumstances, the theoretical effective attack range is only 12 meters, not 15 meters.

After I received the information you provided, I calculated how much effort would be needed to create a similar electromagnetic rifle and if it could be further improved.

The result was that I found it difficult to increase the effective attack range of the coin projectile to 15 meters with current human battery and material technology, without specifically designing the coils.

Based on existing human material technology, without specific coil design, each coil can only impart a kinetic energy of 2.2 to 2.6 joules to the coin.

With the maximum kinetic energy of 2.6 joules, 11 coils combined would only translate to a distance of 12 meters.

But Lin Feng's designed Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle achieved 15 meters, successfully breaking the theoretical limit. That's why I said Lin Feng is a talent.

His designed Coin Coil Model broke the impossible, created a miracle, and successfully increased the effective attack range of the coin projectile from 12 meters to 15 meters. This alone is enough to earn praise."

Hearing Professor Wang Shan's undisguised praise, the netizen 'Anticipating Signal' showed a proud expression, as if Professor Wang Shan was praising him.

"Professor Wang Shan, do you think there's still room for improvement in the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle? After all, its attack range is a bit short, only 15 meters."

Reporter Chen Hang continued with his question, but this question caused Professor Wang Shan to shake his head greatly:

"You might not know, but with current human technology, it's not really suitable for developing electromagnetic rifles. The reasons are still material and battery issues.

12 meters itself is the theoretical limit. Being able to achieve 15 meters was thanks to Lin Feng's designed Coin Coil Model and the control system that perfectly extracted the hardware's potential.

It's certainly possible to increase the attack range now, but the effort required would definitely be greater than designing the first-generation Coin Coil Model, and the cost would be more than the second generation, making it a losing proposition.

For example, our liquid lithium-ion batteries have already hit a ceiling. It's quite difficult to achieve significant performance improvements, and the effort required is not commensurate with the gains.

This is why so many companies worldwide are desperately researching graphene batteries and solid-state batteries; they all want to become the overlords of the new era.

Therefore, I believe there isn't much room for improvement in the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle. The 15-meter effective attack range has already hit the ceiling.

Even if it can be improved, it's likely only a small increase of about half a meter or one meter. A significant improvement of two to three meters or more is almost impossible."

"I see. It seems Lin Feng's developed Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle is already quite perfect, having exhausted the potential of the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle."

Reporter Chen Hang nodded in understanding and then asked his final question.

"Professor Wang Shan, when Lin Feng first developed the Handwriting Robot, it caused a lot of controversy.

A certain Professor He even directly called Lin Feng a 'black-hearted businessman who is of no benefit to the country.' What are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Nonsense! I don't know what that Handwriting Robot is, but the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle developed by Lin Feng is absolutely a great invention that saves countless lives.

You might not understand the meaning of my words because you don't know much of the relevant information.

Let me put it this way: do you know how many thieves have been shot dead worldwide? Do you know how many people are accidentally killed by firearms every year?

It's impossible to count. These people, by law, should not have been accidentally killed, but for various reasons, they became souls lost to gunfire.

Now, Lin Feng's developed Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle can subdue targets from a distance without taking their lives, only causing them some physical pain.

This is indirectly saving many lives; this is a virtue that saves countless lives.

Furthermore, without the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, when criminals flee in panic, police officers, due to various concerns, cannot open fire, which undoubtedly provides an opportunity for the criminals to escape.

Now, with the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle, they can shoot without hesitation, naturally increasing the efficiency of subduing criminals and reducing much of the economic losses caused by criminals fleeing in desperation.

Therefore, Professor He's statement negating Lin Feng's life's work based on the Handwriting Robot is somewhat rash.

I believe he should reflect on his words and actions. After all, as a role model, one should pay attention to their words and deeds."

"Good!"

'Anticipating Signal' shouted loudly, cheering for Professor Wang Shan's remarks.

Professor Wang Shan's words struck a chord with him. After all, it was too rash for that Professor He to negate Lin Feng based solely on a Handwriting Robot.

Setting aside other things, the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle developed by Lin Feng is something of immense value to Daxia and even the entire world.

So, that Professor He is probably just someone seeking fame and reputation, and it's shameful that he holds the title of professor.

Thinking about these things, he directly opened the Weibo app and searched for Professor He. After finding Professor He, he, like hundreds of thousands of netizens, tagged him and posted, "A vain and seeking fame."

These words were quickly seen by Professor He. When he saw that Weibo was filled with curses directed at him, he was first stunned and confused, but after understanding the truth, he fell silent.

He had to admit that he had indeed made a small mistake. In a fit of anger at the time, he rashly called Lin Feng a black-hearted businessman who was of no benefit to the country.

Now, looking at the Coin-style Electromagnetic Rifle developed by Lin Feng, Professor He naturally realized he had made a mistake.

Sighing, Professor He directly operated his computer. He first deleted his previous statement.

Then, he honestly posted on Weibo admitting that he was too concerned about his students at the time, which led him to get angry and curse Lin Feng.

He now admits he was wrong and shouldn't have rashly negated Lin Feng's entire life because he developed the Handwriting Robot.

However, at the end of the post, he still urged Daxia to pay attention to the Handwriting Robot and not allow such a product to circulate on a large scale, lest they regret it in the future.
