37: Chapter 37 The whole village loses power! I use divine alloy to ignite the light of my motherland!

Su Che looked at the familiar blue light screen on the quest panel and made a decision in his mind almost subconsciously.

"Redeem."

[Ding! Consumed 200 skill points. Successfully redeemed junior access to [Quantum Enhanced Laser Technology].]

[Current host accumulated skill points: 10 points.]

Looking at those pitiful 10 skill points, he was back to square one overnight.

"Su Che, what are you thinking about?"

Lin Waner's voice pulled him out of the system panel.

He looked at the girl in front of him who had just sneak-attacked him, her cheeks still flushed, and grinned.

"I was thinking about how to conjure up the most unique fireworks display in the world for you."

"Fireworks?"

Lin Waner was stunned for a moment.

"Yes, environmentally friendly, safe, and free."

Su Che pointed to his head.

"I just got a sudden burst of inspiration and plan to make a big guy. Drawing in the sky with lasers will definitely look better than those bottle rockets."

Lin Waner's eyes lit up.

It wasn't because of the fireworks, but because of this man's unique train of thought that could always combine romance and technology.

"I support you!"

She clenched her fists, looking serious.

"I've been reading some physics books lately. Although I don't understand most of it, I think I might be able to help you out in the future, like passing you a wrench or something."

As if remembering something, she added.

"By the way, I bought a very interesting book online called '2049: The Possibilities of the Next Ten Thousand Days'."

"It has a lot of conjectures about future technology. I think... you might like it. I'll bring it over for you to read when the package arrives."

"Sure."

Su Che smiled and nodded.

Having someone willing to step into his world—this feeling wasn't bad.

Lin Waner stood with him for a bit longer. Seeing that it was getting late, she blushed and went back first.

Su Che was left alone in the yard.

Instead of rushing to start, he took out his phone and dialed General Zhang's number.

"General, give me an email address."

"What for?"

On the other end of the line, General Zhang's voice sounded as full of vigor as ever.

"To send you a New Year's gift. It's about laser technology. I just thought of it and quickly put it together."

"You brat!"

General Zhang scolded with a laugh on the other end.

"Do you think it's cabbage, readily available whenever you want? Fine, I'll have Captain Li Jun send it to you right away!"

Soon, Captain Li Jun sent over an encrypted email address.

Su Che returned to the workshop. Using the military supercomputer terminal provided by the military, he spent an hour organizing the core principles and application directions of [Quantum Enhanced Laser Technology] into a brief report and sent it over.

Only after finishing all of this did he truly begin his "grand fireworks project."

A laser fireworks show.

It sounded mysterious, but the principle was actually not complicated.

The core consisted of three things.

[Quantum Enhanced Laser Technology], responsible for providing a high-energy, highly stable light source.

Air molecule ionization, responsible for making the laser "visible" in the air, leaving brilliant tracks. This was basic physics, which Su Che had mastered thoroughly in college.

Finally, custom patterns and AI smart distance control. This was even simpler; he had already thoroughly understood the AI algorithm given by the system, and could use it with just a few random modifications.

Everything was ready, all that was left was to get to work.

Su Che plunged into that pile of "divine treasures," and the clanking sounds once again echoed throughout the yard.

He worked all the way until the next evening.

A "large cannon barrel" consisting of a large searchlight base, several high-power laser transmitters, and a complex lens group began to take shape.

In the evening, he prepared to conduct the first test.

He dragged the equipment to the center of the yard, connected it to the village's power grid, and flipped the switch.

"Buzz—"

The device emitted a low rumble, and several visible light-green laser beams shot out from the barrel, pointing straight at the night sky.

But before the beams had even traveled a hundred meters, they began to shake violently, grew dim, and finally dissipated directly into the air.

At the same time—

"Snap!"

The lights of the entire village went out in response!

"Su Che! You spendthrift! You tripped the breaker again!" Su Pingan's angry roar came from the main house.

The entire village instantly fell into darkness and a clamor of curses.

"Damn it!"

Su Che cursed.

Two problems.

First, the village's power grid couldn't support the energy consumption of such high-power equipment at all.

Second, the stability and energy focusing of the beam were ridiculously poor.

He scratched his hair in frustration and sat down on the ground with a thud.

After a short while, power was restored, and the lights in the workshop turned back on.

Su Che's gaze involuntarily fell upon the glass bottle containing the Kunlun Alloy powder.

His grandfather's notes mentioned that Kunlun Alloy could achieve mass cancellation under a strong electric field.

Then could it... also have some kind of confinement and gain effect on photons?

A bold idea popped into his mind.

He disassembled the laser transmitter's lens group again, and carefully sprinkled a small pinch of Kunlun Alloy powder evenly onto the surface of one of the core lenses.

Then, using the micron-level processing equipment sent by General Zhang, he performed an ultra-high-temperature coating treatment on the lens, completely fusing the powder into the crystal lattice structure of the lens.

Having done all this, he reassembled the equipment, took a deep breath, and flipped the switch again.

"Buzz—!"

A solid green light beam, more than ten times brighter than before, shot out from the barrel!

The light beam pierced straight into the night sky, shooting up for a full thousand meters before slowly dissipating in the clouds, as stable as the legendary sea-stabilizing pillar.

Su Che looked at the data on the energy monitor next to him, his eyes nearly popping out of his head.

The loss rate of laser energy had decreased by seventy percent!

This fucking...

Kunlun Alloy could not only achieve Anti-gravity, but also be used as a laser amplifier!

What kind of divine material was this?

Su Che's heart instantly grew passionate.

Forgetting all about the laser fireworks, he rushed back into the workshop.

He wanted to strike while the iron was hot and see if he could push the research on Kunlun Alloy one step further.

Combining the remaining memories of the notes in his mind, he began to calculate and deduce frantically.

But this time, he met with unprecedented resistance.

Much of the content in the notes used special encryption algorithms, and they had extremely complex logical correlations with each other.

He was able to crack it before because he had the full context.

But now, relying solely on those scattered fragments in his memory, it was impossible to construct a complete model.

He tossed and turned for most of the night until the sun rose in the morning. He had used over a hundred sheets of draft paper, and his brain felt like it was about to smoke from all the calculations.

Still, he had absolutely no clue.

"Fuck!"

Su Che threw down the pen in his hand and leaned back in his chair in frustration.

Looking at the discarded drafts covering the floor, the confidence that had swelled up from creating black technology was instantly snuffed out.

Scientific research was indeed not something achieved overnight.

He didn't know how many years and how much effort from generations of his grandfather and his colleagues had gone into producing such research results.

To think he could reach the heavens in a single bound just by relying on a system—he was still too naive.

He sighed, put away those unrealistic thoughts, and prepared to go back to working on his laser fireworks.

Just then.

The phone in his pocket suddenly rang urgently.

He picked it up to take a look; it was Qin Lan again.

"Su Che!"

As soon as the call connected, Qin Lan's voice came through immediately.

"Ma Wenju confessed to everything."

"The mastermind colluding with him to steal the 'particle weapon' technology and trying to steal the 'Kunlun Alloy' data is not the US."

"Qin Lan paused, saying every word deliberately."

"It is... Japan."
