The Key to Solving the Mass Gap

The scan results were encouraging.

With the Institute for Advanced Study's technology alone, they had been unable to decipher the technical details of the Hall Propulsion Unit. Under the Scanner Gun's beam, however, none of its secrets could hide.

Once the data collection was complete, the pale blue beam gradually dimmed. The two components it had illuminated returned from their translucent state to their original metallic sheen. The Scanner Gun in Lu Zhou's hand grew lighter as the beam faded, then turned into fine black sand that slipped through his fingers, leaving only a thumb-sized USB drive.

Lu Zhou plugged the USB drive into his laptop and waited beside it.

The moment the data transfer bar filled, the drive turned into black grains and vanished into the air.

"This lousy system sure uses environmentally friendly materials."

Lu Zhou shook his head, stepped forward, and tapped a few keys on the laptop.

Taiwan Novel Network made reading easy and convenient.

Before long, a three-dimensional model appeared in front of him.

Every detail of the Hall Thruster Array was displayed in the model, which could magnify any point down to the molecular level.

Lu Zhou studied it for a while, rubbing his chin in thought. Then he asked, "Xiao Ai, do you think you can build one?"

A pop-up appeared in the lower-right corner of the screen.

[This thing is too small. Ordinary industrial robots probably can't do it. ╮(╯＿╰)╭]

"What tools would you need?"

About two minutes later, another pop-up appeared in the lower-right corner.

Lu Zhou opened it and found a list.

It listed a daunting array of production equipment, from metal-cutting machine tools and coordinate boring machines to high-precision laser scribing machines. There were more than a dozen machines in all.

"...If I can buy them, I'll
