Watching Lü Yongchang's slow movements, Mo Zeyang stood beside him, sweat beading on his forehead with anxiety.
Yet he could not hurry him.
He could only stand quietly to one side, waiting for Lü Yongchang to finish what he was doing.
At last, Lü Yongchang turned around.
Only then did Mo Zeyang finally see the piece of material that would serve as the Photon Computer's core.
The front, or rather, the light-transmitting side, looked like a sheet of ice freshly taken out of ice water.
Because the concentration of injected ions varied, different regions of the "ice sheet" showed clear differences in transparency.
The section with the lowest ion concentration resembled dull, frosted glass.
Through the section with the highest concentration, the view behind it was clearly visible.
As Lü Yongchang slowly turned the semitransparent material over in his hands, all those wondrous sights gave way to an unfathomably deep black.
"It... it worked..."
At the sight of this marvel, Mo Zeyang murmured to himself.
Lü Yongchang nodded as well, his face full of smiles.
"That's right. From now on, research into the Photon Computer is officially on track!"
The breakthrough in the key material pushed the development of the Photon Computer forward by a considerable margin.
But that did not mean they had successfully developed a Photon Computer.
On the contrary, they were still a very long way from a true Photon Computer.
Still, compared with their previous research, when they had stumbled around like headless chickens, having a clear direction was far more exhilarating!
A month later.
With enormous dark circles under his eyes, Mo Zeyang knocked on Lü Yongchang's office door.
"Professor!"
"Professor, we did it!"
The door opened automatically.
Seeing the scene inside the office, Mo Zeyang abruptly cut off his shouting.
Lü Yongchang
