Mingde Hall's public lecture was packed to the brim.
Huo Yuhao found a seat in the corner and sat down, listening quietly.
On the podium, a scruffy middle-aged man with slightly messy hair was passionately explaining the energy conduction model of a Soul Tool ray gun.
He was Fan Yu, a seventh-rank Soul Engineer, one of the most popular instructors in Mingde Hall's outer courtyard—and a renowned technical fanatic.
"Look here! The energy core of a third-generation ray gun activates Soul Power through this amplification formation! However, seventeen percent of the energy dissipates during transmission! That is the root cause of both heat generation and reduced power! Whoever can lower that figure by even one percentage point can strut around Mingde Hall however they please!"
The students below scribbled furiously, afraid of missing even a single word.
These were all crucial to their future evaluations.
Yet Huo Yuhao did not write down a single word.
Within his [Thought Palace], the model Fan Yu had described had already been completely replicated and was undergoing simulated calculations at a rate of tens of thousands per second.
[Analyzing model... Main causes of energy dissipation: redundant formation structure; non-optimal energy transmission paths, causing excessive collisions between Soul Power particles within the conduits and generating waste heat...] [Generating optimization proposals... Proposal One: modify the formation structure and simplify the paths. Estimated reduction in dissipation rate: 2.3%.] [Proposal Two: replace the conductive material with a high-Soul-Power-affinity alloy. Estimated reduction in dissipation rate: 4.1%.] [Proposal Three: introduce the concept of "frequency calibration." Add a miniature stabilizing formation at the activation end, allowing Soul Power particles to advance while vibrating at the same frequency... Estimated reduction in dissipation rate: 9.7%.]
"Heh, what a bunch of little brothers." In the sea
