Technology Embedding
In a laboratory in the Qinling, a group of people of all ages gathered in a room that looked quite advanced, examining incredibly complex blueprints and documents on a monitor.
Everyone here is an expert among experts. Whether they are veterans who have been immersed in the field for decades or geniuses who have achieved continuous success, they all stare intently at the blueprints.
Mechs, Electromagnetic Muscle, and Humanoid Weapon were all put aside; almost everyone's focus was on the Energy System, which only accounted for less than five percent of the design drawings.
On the surface, it seems to be just an "ordinary" Palladium Reactor technology. Although it is not yet a finished product, the basic theoretical foundation has long been established. It is just that due to the limitations of Material Science and the immaturity of related supporting industries, there have been no results.
However, in the eyes of these experts, the Palladium Reactor depicted in the drawings differed greatly from what they knew. Even ignoring factors such as precision, generational differences, and materials, and disregarding the fact that current Palladium Reactor technology should burn hydrogen isotopes rather than Helium-3, there was one crucial difference—
The output power of this thing is outrageous.
According to the blueprints, a reactor the size of a fist can provide the output power equivalent to a medium-sized thermal power plant.
This data led everyone who received the information to immediately think that their superiors had been deceived.
However, considering the unique "Weird Tale" technology of this era, those who devote their energy to scientific research feel a sense of powerlessness, because when "delusions" can overcome objective laws, their knowledge seems to become useless.
It's understandable that they're pessimistic. Can you imagine the tragedy for researchers: spending decades, exhausting their wisdom and money on trial and error, only to find that the results of a single, impactful film are less significant?
"No, this is completely wrong! The data here doesn't match at all; this can't possibly be true!"
Suddenly, a younger researcher frantically scratched her head and let out a wail. Although the others didn't react as strongly, they all had similar expressions on their faces.
They all shared the same opinion about this drawing: they couldn't understand it at all.
Even though its various parameters and supporting processes are described in great detail, to these professionals, it's almost no different from the ramblings of a madman.
"The necessary materials have arrived, and the reactor construction has begun. Would you like to take a look?"
Just then, a staff member walked in and addressed the group of researchers. Although they were quite frustrated by this seemingly unscientific contraption, true researchers are not "superstitious" about science. They believe that existence implies rationale. Therefore, when they heard that someone was going to assemble this reactor, which they found utterly unreasonable, almost everyone focused their attention on it simultaneously. The scene was like something out of a horror movie, and the pressure almost made the staff member who came to deliver the message take a few steps back.
However, as a professional, after obtaining permission, he immediately connected the video interface, which had been physically disconnected from the network, and transmitted the images from the laboratory.
"It must be another one of those weird and wonderful technologies that's hard to replicate, right?" Some people thought to themselves, or rather, everyone thought to themselves.
After all, before the era of Weird Tale truly arrived, they had studied some Magical Item, such as a certain red-hot nickel ball that never cooled down, which is still used as an energy source for "boiling water".
However, once the connection was established, they gradually lowered their voices and began to focus their attention, watching the person on the screen skillfully operate the various devices.
Because they suddenly discovered that, for some reason, the procedures that originally seemed illogical suddenly became understandable, and the exaggerated equipment that seemed impossible to complete gradually began to be assembled.
The small reactor in the video was continuously improved. When the refined palladium metal was placed in the passage, Helium-3 was slowly introduced into the reactor, and then the reaction began. As nuclear energy was converted into electrical energy output, everyone's faces showed a look of realization.
"I see!"
"I see!"
"So that's what it meant!"
"Why didn't I figure this out before? It's such a simple question."
Various similar sentiments echoed in the room, but after a brief period of euphoria, these high-tech talents almost immediately ceased their elation, replaced by a slightly chilling exchange of bewildered glances.
If it were just one or two people, it wouldn't be a big deal, but when everyone has the same problem, it's no longer a coincidence.
They were confident in their professional competence and therefore clearly realized that this was not due to a momentary lapse in understanding; more likely, the technology simply wouldn't work until the other party succeeded.
"Is that so? Then let me put it another way. Without their assistance and without design drawings, can we make the corresponding product using only our own technical resources and materials?"
Upon receiving the report, the head of the main hospital squinted and asked a crucial question. After receiving an affirmative answer, the communication was temporarily disconnected.
"It seems that the impact of Weird Tale on the world is far more profound than we imagined; at least from the current situation, they've changed more than just our perceptions..."
"It's definitely not an isolated case!" Looking at the Palladium Reactor that had successfully started running, Feng Xue's face showed a slightly strange smile. He examined the mechanism, which was entirely constructed from True Thing, and finally confirmed the special status of the [Search According to Map] power. This thing that could embed the rules of one world into another world through something as simple as blueprints, even if it didn't improve him much, Feng Xue still decided to keep it.
"Although I can't see exactly what use it will be now, I have a feeling that it will definitely be useful in the future."
Feng Xue sighed inwardly, realizing he had gained another ability that needed to be nurtured by other Trait. Although for now, Mo Ju alone could support all the Trait, he really should consider starting to cultivate more [knowledge] Trait.
After all, with Old Li's example as a precedent, as the number of powers he needs to cultivate increases, the consequences would be devastating if anything went wrong with the Mo Ju Trait.
Writing the word "endurance" in her Little Notebook, Feng Xue clapped her hands and left the present world, returning to the two worlds linked by the Game Supernatural Tale...
