748: Chapter 743 Miniaturization and Industrialization
A respectful voice came from the other end of the line, "Mr. Shen, the first sample was completed a week ago at LEO Zero Factory in low Earth orbit. The purity has reached the theoretical limit, and final structural stability tests are currently underway."
"No need for tests," Shen Yan said calmly. "Pack it immediately and send it to the 'prometheus Forge' in Nordland at the fastest speed possible."
"I'm sending you the address now."
He hung up the phone.
The entire meeting room was deathly silent.
Everyone looked at Shen Yan as if he were a monster.
heavenly craft?
LEO Zero Factory?
Loki's Veil?
These unfamiliar terms, combined together, revealed a volume of information that made even the smartest brains on Earth feel dizzy.
He... he hadn't just built miracles on Earth, but even had a secret 'God's Factory' in space?
Moreover, it seemed like he... had long anticipated they would encounter this material bottleneck?
A week ago...
The sample was already finished?
Alva Jensen looked at Shen Yan; this man had once again redefined her understanding of 'omniscience and omnipotence.'
He wasn't solving problems.
He was simply waiting for problems to occur, then pulling the long-prepared answer out of his pocket.
Three days later.
A sealed crate made of special materials was air-dropped directly to the base via an aerospace plane.
Inside the crate lay a metal ingot with a strange, dark purple luster.
It was "Loki's Veil."
On a microscopic level, its lattice structure was as perfect as a mathematical formula.
Klaus Schmidt's team used the fastest possible speed to manufacture it into a new resonance chamber core.
The second ignition experiment began.
This time, when the energy output surged to 12 GW, and even continued to climb to 2 GW, the various data points of the resonance chamber remained steady as Bedrock.
Success.
The first bottleneck was broken through forcefully in an unimaginable way!
But new problems soon appeared.
"Energy output is extremely unstable!"
"Irregular pulse peaks have appeared! The highest peak exceeded 10 GW! The lowest is less than 1 GW!"
"The control system can't predict it! Our algorithms can't keep up with its rate of change!"
In the main control room, a Chief Algorithm Engineer from 'Quantum Dynamics,' Dr. Evelyn Reed, was typing on her keyboard, drenched in sweat.
They had drawn out the energy and built a cage to contain it.
But now, they found that this beast was completely out of control.
It was like a drunkard, sometimes violent, sometimes lethargic.
This kind of unstable energy couldn't be integrated into the power grid at all; it was even more dangerous than nuclear fission. Once an energy overload occurred, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Its resonance mode seems to have some kind of... 'pseudo-randomness'," Evelyn said, looking at the chaotic energy waveforms on the screen with a deep sense of powerlessness. "No, it's not even pseudo-random. It's like... like it has its own consciousness, deliberately playing with our prediction models."
Another dead end.
A physics dead end had just been solved.
An algorithmic dead end followed immediately.
This time, Shen Yan didn't wait for them to have a meeting.
He walked directly into the main control room.
Everyone's eyes instinctively focused on him, as if he were the only savior.
Shen Yan didn't look at those complex waveforms and data.
He just said one thing to Evelyn.
"Move."
Evelyn froze for a moment, then immediately stood up and gave up her seat.
Shen Yan sat down.
He didn't modify the millions of lines of prediction and control code from Evelyn's team.
Instead...
He opened a brand new, blank code editor.
Under everyone's puzzled gazes, his hands turned into a blur on the keyboard.
Lines of code they had never seen before—with bizarre structures and unfamiliar syntax—poured onto the screen like a waterfall.
That wasn't programming.
It was more like writing a poem from another world.
"What is he doing?" Klaus whispered to Alva.
Alva shook her head; she didn't understand either.
But Evelyn Reed, an authority in the field of quantum computing, was trembling all over. Her expression shifted from confusion to shock, and finally to a near-terrified adoration.
"This isn't a control algorithm..." she muttered to herself, her voice shaking. "He... he's not trying to 'control' the energy..."
"He's... 'entangling'!"
"He's using code to construct a virtual mirror image that is in a state of quantum entanglement with the helheim stone resonance field!"
"He's not taming it; he... has become it!"
As Shen Yan hit the final Enter key,
The wild energy waveform curve on the screen was instantly smoothed out.
It became a straight line, radiating infinite power and beauty.
Stable output: 5 GW.
Precise to the last digit.
The entire main control room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone held their breath, watching the man stand up from his seat as if he had just done something trivial.
He turned around and gave new orders to the petrified Alva, Evelyn, and the others.
"prometheus-1, entering stable operation phase."
"Your task is to miniaturize it and industrialize it."
"Then, use it to change the world."
After saying that, he turned and left the main control room.
Leaving behind a group of geniuses at the pinnacle of human technology, staring at that code that was like an oracle and the 'forge' that was steadily outputting enough energy to light up all of Europe, falling into a long silence.
Walking out of the base, Shen Yan stood in the cold wind of the fjord and took out his phone.
The screen lit up, showing an incoming call.
It was Liu Hui.
The lines on his face softened unconsciously when he saw the name.
"Hello?"
"AYan, are you finished? Youyou said she wants you to come back tonight and help her with her Lego."
Liu Hui's gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Okay."
Shen Yan looked at the super-engineering project before him that was changing the world and said softly,
"I'll be back soon."
He hung up the phone.
Shen Yan put away his phone. The cold wind of the fjord blew against his face, but it couldn't dissipate the warmth rising in his heart.
Behind him was the 'prometheus Forge,' capable of leveraging the entire world's energy landscape.
Inside, the top wisdom of Earth converged, burning with a flame sufficient to illuminate the future of humanity.
And on the other end of the phone was the origin of his entire world.
His daughter's soft, sweet voice and his wife's gentle expectations.
"Klaus."
Shen Yan turned and spoke to the chief Engineer who had followed him out.
"You and Dr. Alva will be in full charge of the subsequent industrialization process."
"All resources will be supplied without limit."
"I want to see the first 'prometheus' commercial power generation matrix connected to the grid in the center of the Sahara Desert within six months."
