Supervision Bureau, Conference Room.
Everyone sat around an oval table, each holding a document—information Han Ling had collected about the Le Gu Nan family.
"Wow, Huaihe Pharmaceuticals belongs to the Le Gu Nan family?" Wu Cheng looked at the information in his hand with some surprise.
"Yes, her great-great-great-grandfather was a royal physician when there was still an emperor. After the emperor was gone, he ran away and returned to Linhai to open his own clinic. Later, it grew bigger and bigger and became Huaihe Pharmaceuticals." Han Ling nodded and turned around.
"Hiss--" Wu Cheng gasped, "I always knew her family was rich, but I didn't know they were this rich?"
Shen Heng nodded slightly, not surprised by Wu Cheng's surprise.
Huaihe Pharmaceuticals is quite famous in Linhai. It is the leading company in Linhai, and almost everyone in Linhai knows it.
Their main business is drug research and development and manufacturing, and they also have businesses involving hospitals, medical devices, and pharmacies. Their annual profits alone amount to tens or hundreds of billions of yuan.
If it weren't for their low demand for employees, their status in Linhai could be even higher.
"What's the use of money? That's old-fashioned, controlling everything!"
Han Ling snorted coldly and turned to look at Wei Leyang.
" Wei Leyang, have you figured out how to develop Gu Nan's abilities?"
"Hmm, I have an idea, but I'm not sure yet. After all, my understanding of her abilities is only on paper. We'll have to wait until she actually trains according to my instructions to know the specifics!" Wei Leyang said.
"What are your thoughts?" Han Ling asked.
Shen Heng also looked at Wei Leyang with some curiosity.
"Isn't her ability Reconstruction?" Wei Leyang asked.
Han Ling nodded.
Wei Leyang explained, "I believe that Reconstruction is essentially the rebuilding of matter!"
"Isn't this exactly what the information says?" Han Ling frowned slightly.
"No, no, no, the Reconstruction I'm talking about is not the same as the Reconstruction you're talking about!" Wei Leyang denied.
" The Reconstruction I'm referring to is the Reconstruction of matter, which has three layers."
"One layer is the Reconstruction a single material form, another layer is the Reconstruction multiple material forms, and yet another layer is the Reconstruction of matter itself."
Reconstruction a single material form, Reconstruction multiple material forms, Reconstruction of matter itself... Shen Heng lowered his head slightly in thought.
"Could you explain it more simply?" Han Ling asked, frowning.
"Simply put, the first layer is to directly mold iron into the shape of a sword, the second layer is to mold different things into something new, and the third layer is to turn a piece of carbon into a diamond!" Wei Leyang explained.
"Turning a carbon atom into a diamond?" Han Ling exclaimed in surprise, "Can Gu Nan really do something like that?"
"Theoretically, it should be possible, but I'm not sure if A-Class ability can achieve this. I've only seen her use her ability at the second level!" Wei Leyang said.
Shen Heng nodded slightly.
He had heard of this before, and it was indeed theoretically feasible.
After all, both ordinary carbon and diamonds are primarily composed of carbon.
The main difference lies in the arrangement of carbon atoms; as you can imagine, the carbon atoms in a diamond are arranged much more tightly.
but...
"It's obvious that each of these three levels will take more time than the last. The problem with her ability is that it takes too much time, making it completely unusable in combat. Aren't you just making it take even more time for her?" Shen Heng looked at Wei Leyang.
"Ah, I know that too, I've thought about it too," Wei Leyang said.
"As I just mentioned, each layer takes more time than the last, so I think if she wants her ability to be effective in combat, she should mainly focus on the first layer: the Reconstruction of a single material form!"
"The information states that after she analyzes and Reconstruction a substance, the time required to Reconstruction it again can be slightly reduced."
"So, could we keep having her analyze one or two substances, and then greatly accelerate the time it takes her to analyze them, even to the point where she can complete the analysis with just a flick of her wrist!"
"This way, during combat, she can quickly Reconstruction one or two substances and use the Reconstruction substances to attack!"
Shen Heng lowered his head slightly in thought, recalling the scene of his last conversation with Le Gu Nan.
The other party did seem to mention that analyzing a substance could reduce the time required for the next analysis, but...
Shen Heng looked up at Wei Leyang and asked, "Most substances only have the same main components; the details are still different. Can she achieve the ideal speed?"
"I'm not sure, we'll only know after she develops it herself!" Wei Leyang replied, "But theoretically it should be possible, as long as her brain can process information quickly enough!"
Shen Heng nodded slightly and continued, "Have you considered how she will fight later on?"
"I have two ideas," Wei Leyang said.
"One method is that she carries some materials with her, such as iron and gunpowder, then Reconstruction the iron into a weapon like a needle, attaches gunpowder to the needle, and then fires it."
"Another option is to have her keep analyzing concrete and asphalt, since most of the ground is made up of these two materials. Then, she can wave her hand forward and a concrete dragon will rush forward."
"Isn't the second option the obvious choice? The second one is so cool!" Wu Cheng laughed.
"Why choose the second option? Of course, we'll choose the first one!" Han Ling retorted.
"What's the difference between the first method and using a gun? You might as well just use a gun directly. Why bother with the Reconstruction?" Wu Cheng said.
"Of course there's a difference. The speed of my bullet mainly comes from the gunpowder at the base, but you can't add an infinite amount of gunpowder. But Gu Nan's ability can!"
"That's still not as good as the second one! The second one is so much cooler!"
"What's the point of a girl being handsome? She'd be better off..."
The two were arguing.
After thinking for a moment, Shen Heng said:
"Actually, both of these have their advantages and disadvantages!"
"What are the advantages and disadvantages?" The two people arguing looked over.
Shen Heng:
"The first method has the advantage of fast analysis speed, since it uses materials you bring yourself, and its attack power is also very high. The disadvantage is that it only has attack power and no other abilities."
"The second method has the advantage of being comprehensive, capable of attacking, defending, and supporting. The disadvantage is its slow analysis speed. After all, concrete is only the main component; the specific composition varies. Moreover, it becomes unusable outside of cities, in areas without concrete or asphalt."
"Did you hear that? The second method won't work!" Han Ling glared at Wu Cheng.
"Nonsense! Shen Heng clearly said that the first method won't work!" Wu Cheng retorted.
The two stared at each other, their eyes blazing with fury.
"Alright!"
Wang Hai came out and ended the argument between the two.
"Let Le Gu Nan decide which path to take, not us to decide for her!"
After saying that, Wang Hai looked around at everyone and said:
"Since we've already discussed it, let's decide to go to Le Gu Nan's house in the next few days. As for the number of people, let's not go too many or too few, just three people!"
