Chapter 1304 - Simulated Acceleration
The backup element annihilation bomb research team that Louis Industries once gave to Chen Fei did analyze the Warcraft crystal core that "Nest" McNee imitated, but there was no progress.
After all, the elemental energy crystals nurtured by the "nest" are not true monster crystal cores, and their generation principles and processes are quite different.
Doing research requires not only sufficient materials, money, and talent, but also enough time. It is not surprising that a major technological breakthrough can take a hundred years. If one generation cannot complete it, then two, three, four generations... one after another, like dreaming in bed. Ultimately, it is a very small minority due to survivorship bias. There has only been one Mendeleev since ancient times. Even the highlight of Ruge de Liège's life was only a few hours long ("La Marseillaise").
Doing research requires not only sufficient materials, money, and talent, but also time. It is not surprising that a major technological breakthrough can take a hundred years, and there is no guarantee of a good outcome. Everyone only sees the survivors who are lucky enough to succeed, but they do not know that there are countless unknown failures.
That said, if this hadn't been brought up, Chen Fei probably would have forgotten that the research team might still have some samples.
The elemental energy crystals left behind by "Nest" McNee are bio-energy crystals that can store elemental energy and can also be converted into crystal energy. Most of them were used in the energy cores of tactical units such as spaceships to actively prepare for the battle for Star System 2. An extra batch was left for the elemental annihilation weapon research and development team led by Mino Heaton.
"'Adam,' please contact Mino Heaton for me."
It was through keyword searches that Chen Fei remembered that there was such a person.
Looking at the other party's personal information, he is the head of the No. 2 Element Annihilation Weapon R&D team.
Originally, they were ordered by the big boss of Louis Industries to bring their new team and their families to join Chen Fei, intending to use the "Ark Project" to leave a spark for human civilization on Earth in the future "apocalypse".
However, because of Chen Fei, the variable, Langdon's "prediction" began to go astray. Now, even the entire Louis Industries has fled, with most of the production lines and employees, along with their families, entering the "Boundary Bead" life space. Mino Heaton and his team, who have returned to the company, have not rejoined the original organization but remain independent, becoming the No. 2 Element Annihilation Weapon R&D Team, on par with the original team, trying different R&D routes to engage in healthy competition.
However, it seems that there has been no major progress so far, otherwise "Adam" and Langdon, who are responsible for monitoring the progress of all projects, would have informed Chen Fei immediately.
A video call was established on an AR visual aid interface that was invisible to others.
Suddenly receiving a call, Mino Heaton, with his messy hair, asked irritably, "Who is it?"
The phone screen was black, so there was no image of anyone, but two words could be clearly seen: Chen Fei.
The small side text reads "Task Call Sign: Rookie".
You might not remember "Chen Fei," but you'll definitely know "Rookie," since mission call signs appear frequently, making them both confidential and relatively easy to remember.
But just how "newbie" is that remains a secret!
However, those who know Chen Xiaoer know that his biggest characteristic is not "being bad at cooking", but "being reckless". Once he gets reckless, you don't know how scary he can be. He's a ruthless guy who doesn't even spare himself. Are you scared?
"I'm a newbie!"
The video call was in one-way transparent mode. Chen Fei could clearly see the other party and the surrounding environment, while the other party could only see a black screen with text.
"'Newbie'? Oh, hello, hello!"
Mino finally came to his senses; not only had Chen Fei almost forgotten him, but he himself had as well.
The areas of focus for both parties do not overlap, and the opportunities for them to intersect are generally not many.
"Do you still have any of McNee's crystals here?"
As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, the AI "Adam" automatically displayed an experimental material entry and exit record, showing that there were approximately 138 bio-energy crystals remaining in the inventory, of which about 41 had already been consumed.
Mino Heaton, head of the No. 2 Element Annihilation Weapon development team, answered without hesitation: "There are still 139 more, one of which is currently being tested."
It was definitely worth asking!
Artificial intelligence cannot know the current status of the last recently extracted token, whether it is intact, being consumed, or already consumed.
"Any progress?"
Chen Fei saw that the artificial intelligence AI "Adam" had listed several pages of research reports and related papers, totaling over a hundred items.
Those who engage in professional technical work but don't publish papers and spread their influence are like Yang Bailao, who was exploited by the landlord for free.
"The basic verification has been passed. The elemental energy crystals generated by the 'seed nest' can be used to make elemental annihilation weapons, but the corresponding elemental annihilation formula still needs to be continuously adjusted."
The core mystery of elemental annihilation lies in the special phenomena caused by elemental energy and crystal energy. The formula for elemental annihilation is even more complex than the mass-energy equation of nuclear weapons. Mino Heaton and his team worked tirelessly day and night, but progress was not as fast as expected.
The Element Annihilation Formula was given by Chairman Langdon, but before that, no one was familiar with the formula. Almost everyone on the Element Annihilation Weapon R&D team was starting from scratch with this magical formula full of terrifying destructive power. This made the work of improving and adjusting the formula time-consuming and laborious, and not necessarily rewarding.
How long is it expected to take to complete?
Chen Fei didn't bother looking at those incredibly long technical documents; he wasn't a professional in that field, and he wouldn't understand them anyway.
“Currently, we’re mainly stuck on the formula. If we’re quick, we might find the right direction in the next second, but if we’re slow, well…” Mino Heaton hesitated, scratching the non-woven fabric wig covering his greasy long hair, and said with a troubled look, “It’ll probably be a once-in-a-lifetime event.”
Not all research and development will ultimately yield results. Scientific research is never a matter of reasoning; sometimes the wrong path is the right one (Little Blue Pill: side effects are the real cure). There is no right or wrong to speak of.
So this is the real reason why Lewis Industries kept Team 2: having more directions means having more options. Creativity should not be restricted; on the contrary, it needs more opportunities to explore different avenues.
"I think you can leverage external resources to compile all the experimental data, establish a simulation formula for element annihilation reactions, use computing resources to conduct large-scale extrapolation calculations, and add random conditions to simulate it using an exhaustive method."
Chen Fei plans to add an accelerator to the No. 2 Element Annihilation Weapon R&D team.
Since we have such amazing tools as "planetary-level computing nodes" and readily available computing engines for the physical rules of the real world, we can just use them directly.
Nuclear weapons all have simulators, so creating a dedicated simulator for the Elemental Annihilation weapon shouldn't be technically difficult at all.
"Use brute force? That would take too long!"
Mino Heaton gasped; this method was incredibly violent.
