Chapter 97: Professor Xia’s Gift [Prism Ion Sword] (The previous chapter was reviewed again, please wait)
"Here they are." Professor Xia looked up at them. In the empty room, there were several middle-aged men. On the wide workbench in the middle were some scattered parts.
"professor."
Several people greeted him.
Ding Hui dragged Li Ming towards the workbench and said, "If you help me solve this problem, you won't have to come here for the next few years. I'll give you full marks."
"Teacher Ding, how can I possibly do this when the professor and several other tutors can't solve this problem?" Li Ming evaded.
"Ding Hui, why are you desperate and trying all sorts of methods? Don't worry, even if you can't solve it, we won't laugh at you. Why would we make things difficult for a student?"
Someone in front of the workbench laughed, his body covered in oil.
"He's... Li Ming, right?" Someone recognized Li Ming and said with a frown, "Professor Wu's student, why did he think of us?"
Old Wu’s “enemies” are everywhere, and Li Ming has gotten used to it.
"Ding Hui said that this kid can practice heavy magnetism with his bare hands." Several people in front of the workbench stood up and looked at Li Ming.
"You know nothing." Ding Hui sneered and changed his expression to Li Ming: "This is the city defense equipment order we have undertaken. It is called - [Sub-electromagnetic Cluster Gun]"
"However, we are now facing a problem. The core conductive material does not meet our needs."
"Are you trapped by this trouble?" Qi Xing was puzzled.
"What do kids know? What we want is the most suitable conductive material. It should have high conduction efficiency, low price, appropriate density, heat generation within a reasonable range, and safety must be guaranteed." One of them frowned.
"We produce hundreds of thousands of units at a time, so the cost must be reduced."
"Oh." Qi Xing nodded, not knowing whether he understood or not.
"Can't we list all of them?" Li Ming was puzzled. "There should be relevant data in the material library, right?"
"We're using a type of sub-energy called quasi-electromagnetism, which is primarily used to paralyze the nervous system. This sub-energy was discovered relatively recently, and the database is incomplete," Ding Hui said helplessly. "We can only simulate new alloy ratios based on the relevant parameters and then try."
"There's nothing I can do about it." Li Ming spread his hands.
"No, I believe you." Ding Hui said solemnly, "A genius like you must have some qualities that surpass ordinary people. Perhaps you can tell the exact ratio of ingredients at a glance."
"Are you crazy?" Ding Hui's fellow apprentices were speechless. Someone even came up, pushed Ding Hui aside, and said to Li Ming, "He's been thinking about this for the past few days. He hasn't slept, and his brain is a little fuzzy. Don't mind it."
Professor Xia chuckled and said, "Since you're here, why not give it a try? If you can figure it out, I'll give you a gift."
Professor Xia spoke, and the other sounds in the room gradually disappeared, and everyone's eyes fell on Li Ming.
Li Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Since the professor has said so, I will give it a try. Please find me a quiet room."
No one cared about this request. Everyone has their own preferences, and some of them even like to work naked.
The room was filled with all kinds of materials. Li Ming closed the door, took the template pistol, and went to study it himself.
"How did it become like this?" Qi Xing muttered, "They actually started relying on Li Ming."
"They won't suffer any loss, they are just trying it out. What if they happen to encounter something? Luck plays a big role in the initial stages of many technologies." Rosser said casually. To him, this was just a small matter.
The other people had similar attitudes.
Ding Hui's eyes were eager, and his fellow apprentices were discussing in a low voice.
"Ding Hui said that this person's level is not inferior to his. Is this true?"
"He's talking nonsense. This knowledge isn't something you're born with. I believe him when I say he has some accomplishments, but if he says he's comparable to Ding Hui..."
Several people shook their heads, and some even said, "You all know what's going on at the machinery manufacturing site. Ding Hui has been in charge of this mess for several years and wants to make some progress. I understand."
Snap!
The door opened and Li Ming walked out with the assembled [Electromagnetic Cluster Pistol].
Ding Hui couldn't help but say, "It's normal to fail once. Try a few more times."
Others were not surprised. It was hard work and it was normal to be too lazy to stick with it.
"Okay." Li Ming said, holding the bright blue pistol in his hand.
"What do you mean it's okay? Do you believe..." Ding Hui's words suddenly stopped before he could finish, his pupils slowly dilating. "Okay, okay?"
"What do you mean, ok?"
"Okay, it's okay." Li Ming repeated.
Ding Hui's throat rolled, and the others watched quietly. Then he suddenly took a step forward, snatched the gun from Li Ming's hand, and rushed to the experimental table.
The others quickly followed, and soon, a cry of surprise was heard--
"Holy crap! 3% conduction loss is even higher than the 5% we expected!"
"The hardness is up to standard, and the heat generation rate is not high. What kind of alloy is this? Quickly take out the conductive material and analyze it!"
"This is fucking incredible! What kind of luck does this kid have? He can come up with a top-notch item in one go!"
Professor Xia's smile faded, his brows furrowed, and his usually steady pace quickened a bit. He walked to the front of the laboratory table, took a look, and seemed to be lost in thought.
"Li Ming seems to have succeeded." Qi Xing saw this and couldn't help but ask, "Is he really that lucky?"
"Don't listen to those old men. This has nothing to do with luck." Nuo Xing shook his head, tucking his messy hair behind his ears, and explained, "The alloy material ratio must be accurate to at least four decimal places. Even the slightest mistake will result in completely different properties of the alloy."
"97% energy conduction efficiency is considered top-notch in any energy spectrum."
"You have done research on this?" Qi Xing was even more surprised by Nuo Xing's knowledge of the relevant aspects.
Nuo Xing ignored him.
"That's right," Professor Xia said loudly, "This has nothing to do with luck."
He looked at Li Ming with fiery eyes, "This material is so sensitive, what a pity, what a pity!"
He didn't know what he was thinking about, and sighed, "Wait here, I'll go get something."
"He seems to be quite good at this," Qi Xing sighed. "Professor Xia must be regretting not competing with Professor Wu for it."
"It's just a side issue." Rosser still shook his head. "His potential for development is so high. Wasting time on this is suicide."
“Individual evolution is the way to go.”
"Bullshit!" Professor Xia had already turned back, holding a slender black suitcase with a golden silk thread edging, which was nearly two meters long.
He looked at Rosser with a sullen expression. "Individual evolution is indeed the mainstream of interstellar science. You also need to know what supports this evolutionary path."
Rosser remained silent, but his eyes did not change at all. It was obvious that he was not convinced, but he would not refute Professor Xia.
"Rosser, you should know what the Etran civilization, as a high-level civilization in the Silver Cluster, is capable of intimidating the entire Silver Cluster."
"A-level life form." Rosser uttered a few words, and an invisible sense of oppression came from all directions.
"Can an A-level lifeform destroy a planet? Can it survive forever?" Professor Xia asked. "Besides the Itlan civilization, there are civilizations in the Silver Cluster that have also produced A-level lifeforms. But why haven't they been able to challenge the Itlan civilization?"
Rosser frowned slightly.
"Let me tell you, the core deterrent force of the Itlai civilization is the Subspace Folding Fortress!" Professor Xia shouted. "The power of technology, the power of machinery, a war fortress deployed in half an hour is enough to reduce a planet to wasteland!"
"Even if Yitlan doesn't have A-level life forms, they can still thrive."
Rosser's face was tense, he still disagreed, but he didn't say anything.
The room was silent. Professor Xia paused, his interest growing dull. "Forget it, there's no point in talking about this. The power of individuals and groups... Sigh."
A Warp-Collapse Fortress? Sounds like a superweapon.
Li Ming asked Qi Xing in a low voice, but Qi Xing only had a vague idea. At least after he was born, he had never heard of the Itlan civilization using such a thing.
It is said that it can store a large number of weapons and even warships, and can be folded into the size of a house or even the size of a palm.
After hearing this, Li Ming's pupils dilated slightly. Can this thing be controlled?
"I just promised you." Professor Xia walked up to Li Ming and handed him the suitcase.
"It was built for a nephew, but unfortunately he can't use it." Professor Xia sighed slightly.
Li Ming took the suitcase with both hands, opened the gap and took a look, his expression paused slightly.
It was a slender sword made of pale golden metal. You couldn't see the whole thing, but you reached inside and felt around.
[Prism Plasma Longsword - C-Class: Forged by mechanical craftsman Xia Yuanlun using prismatic alloy and ion polymerization technology.
Control conditions: 80,000 metal energy points
Mastery Effect: Swordsmanship--Master Level
Control Ability - Convergence Slash: Charge for three seconds, increase speed by 300%, and increase the ability to sever.
C-level weapon, high-tech cold weapon.
Li Ming only felt a cold touch. Blue Star did not have an assembly line to produce weapons of this level, so they could only be cast individually.
He now controls many kinds of items, which can be roughly divided into categories. One type is more suitable for secret control, such as the [Gloves of Justice], which can be used for a long time.
There is one type that is more suitable for concrete use, such as [Tanwei 211].
This [Prism Ion Longsword] is more suitable for materialized use. It charges for three seconds and has a huge impact in battle.
It’s this ability to split that’s quite interesting.
He really didn't have a suitable close combat cold weapon, so in the past he either launched a sneak attack or killed instantly.
This thing is very good and quite precious. After all, it is C-grade. There is no place to buy it on Blue Star. On the Black Hole Network, the regional prices are in the tens of millions, which is a huge bargain.
Qi Xing took a closer look, his eyes instantly turning green as he said sourly, "Professor Xia, we came here together, and you're just going to give it to him?"
"I almost forgot." Professor Xia chuckled, and Qi Xing suddenly felt a sense of hope.
Soon, the assistant brought a few small boxes and handed them to them. Qi Xing couldn't wait to open them, then with a stiff face, he took out a mechanical watch from them.
"Handmade mechanical watches are very memorable." Professor Xia said kindly.
Qi Xing felt like he had lost his parents.
At this moment, Ding Hui came over with a smile on his face. He was feeling proud of himself for having just ridiculed his fellow apprentice for Li Ming's sake.
"Don't leave in a hurry. I'll write you a check later for one million. Don't think it's too little."
Li Ming was surprised that he still had money to earn. This time he really made a fortune.
"No need for that. The professor's gift is precious enough." Li Ming picked up the box.
"That's what the teacher gave you. The one million was taken from the profits of those guys." Ding Hui explained: "This is a big contract. The design fee alone is five million, and it was divided among us."
"If you can solve this problem, exceed the target, and reduce the overall budget, I'll give you one million."
“So that’s how it is…” Li Ming suddenly realized, and felt as if he had been shown the way.
He has always wanted to use his abilities to make some money, but the gap between market price, cost price and second-hand price is huge. As a result, it is difficult to make money on a large scale.
But Ding Hui showed him a way. He could master the [Electromagnetic Beam Gun] in a very short time, and it was also very simple.
He first took control of the thing, then took out the conductive material inside and determined it to be damaged.
Then use [Mechanical Engineers] to repair it, and the repaired one will be perfect.
He can use this ability to modify the flaws in the original design and get some design fees. It is simple and efficient, and this is also a way.
"Teacher Ding, next time something like this happens, remember to call me." Li Ming took the initiative. "If anyone else has similar needs, you can also call me."
Ding Hui naturally agreed.
"I give up. I didn't do anything this time, just picked up a watch." On the way back, Qi Xing sighed and asked, "Are you really going to delve into this?"
"I advise you to develop it to 100% as soon as possible. Rosser is already preparing."
"Oh." Li Ming looked at Rosser. No wonder this young man was so confident today.
He no longer felt guilty when he looked at me.
"The gap between E-level and D-level is huge. He is going to beat you." Qi Xing "provoked".
"It's only a matter of time before he succeeds. I won't crush you by using my life level." Rosser shook his head, but it was still obvious that he was in a good mood.
"That's good, though. Your development progress is almost 90%, right? At this rate, you should be invincible at E level. No one in the Royal Academy of the Sera Civilization should be able to defeat you." Qi Xing calculated: "D, E, F, three levels, at least one of them can be defeated."
"Do we have to fight them? If we don't fight, they can't block our door." Li Ming was puzzled.
"It's not necessary, unless you want to be labeled a coward forever and be cyberbullied." Qi Xing shrugged.
Li Ming understood. It was the public opinion again.
I returned to the laboratory and just got off the hovercraft, I saw Meng Wenkui being kicked out of the laboratory with an ugly look on his face.
It’s him again. What new clues does Bian Li have?
Li Ming's heart moved slightly, and he quickly went to meet him, "Uncle Meng, why are you here?"
Seeing Li Ming, Meng Wenkui's expression eased a little and he straightened his clothes.
Assistant Zhang Ming said indignantly, "Sir Li Ming, your brother's temper is a bit too bad. We were just asking some questions casually."
"Senior brother does have a bit of a bad temper, but don't take it to heart. Is it still Bian Li's business?" Li Ming asked with a smile.
"No..." Meng Wenkui shook his head, his face showing a hint of depression: "It's his father, and his father is also dead!"
I want to tell all readers that the supporting character’s name has been changed.
