"More than special!" Liu Chengen pointed at a huge block of metal in a corner of the laboratory.
"See that?"
"That thing weighs five hundred jin. Normally, you'd need a crane to move it."
He chuckled and snapped the palm-sized rune metal plate into a metal slot prepared for it.
The next second, something unbelievable happened.
With a gentle push of a single finger, Liu Chengen slid it half a meter.

It wasn't scientific at all!
"And this!" Liu Chengen took over again, picking up another rune plate and fitting it onto a box.
The box actually began slowly floating into the air.
It drifted weightlessly, as though it were in space!
"A levitation rune! It lets objects weighing up to ten jin defy gravity!"
"And sharpness runes!"

"What does that mean? We can double the service life and stability of all our engines!"
"Fortification runes! They can boost the strength of the armor on our tanks and so on by fifty percent, just like that!"
"How could we possibly lose a war now!"
The two academicians talked over each other, eagerly vying to show Lin Mo their discoveries, their
