144: Chapter 144 A Fulfillment of Meritorious Deeds!

"It is shameful to say," Professor Qin Taifeng said, pondering slightly. "Our tests were conducted by gradually increasing from high voltage to low voltage, and low power to high power."

"The initial tests with 220V, 1000W input and 72V, 2000W input had no issues, and even with only one gun barrel, the power was very pleasing to us."

"So I made the decision to test a 36V, 3000W energy input. Only by reaching these parameters would this gun have practical value, and we might even be able to adapt it to other systems on our own."

"However..." Professor Qin Taifeng shook his head slightly. "You have all seen the result; the coils were completely burned out in an instant."

The experts nodded slightly, huddled together, and discussed it animatedly.

"It seems that even more advanced electromagnetic theory must follow basic physical laws."

"With constant power, the lower the voltage, the higher the current. Such thin wires are not enough to handle such a large current."

"If we follow the basic power formula, then 2000W and 72V would be enough to burn the wires. Why was it fine then?"

"Why don't you ask why winding the wires this way can produce an energy-increasing effect, thereby causing the magnetic field force to strengthen?"

"This is the realm of advanced electromagnetics. I've studied electromagnetics for so many years, and today I have finally seen hope. I really want to catch a glimpse of the view from the summit."

Seeing that the discussion was going off-track, Professor Qin Taifeng had to cough twice to draw everyone's attention back and continue his explanation.

"After the wires burned out, I immediately organized researchers to carefully observe and record the wires, and then re-wound them."

"However... no matter how we wound them, no matter how careful we were, the resulting coils lost their function, as if they had truly become just a decorative pattern."

"So..." Professor Qin Taifeng looked up at the experts, his expression seemingly saying... you understand.

This made the experts' faces twitch.

Who is the big shot in the electromagnetic field? Who is the leader?

If you can't figure it out, that's fine, but what is the meaning of making such a big fuss and dragging us into it? Are you trying to make the top scholars in China's electromagnetic field fail at the same threshold where you already tripped?

So, the national matter they all thought it was turned out to be a pit!

That old guy, Professor Qin Taifeng, felt too embarrassed, so he dragged a whole bunch of people along to share the misery. Then he could openly say, "Look, it's not that I'm incompetent; it's the same for anyone."

Really... speechless.

However, complaining aside, when it comes to professional fields, they didn't think they could handle something that even Professor Qin Taifeng was helpless against.

But since they were here, they had to give it a try.

Thus, this scene appeared in the conference room.

Dozens of Middle-aged men and old men gathered around a steel pipe, observing and discussing carefully. From time to time, someone would take the steel pipe, examine it carefully, or even try to take off the silver wire, re-wind it, then shake their head and pass it to the next person.

Those who didn't know better would think this was the scene of some senior hobby competition.

In the end, the result was surprisingly consistent—still helpless.

The Middle-aged man, the General, had been waiting calmly, but at this moment, he could finally hold back no longer. He frowned and asked: "Experts, is this thing really so difficult that even with all your combined expertise, it cannot be solved?"

Everyone looked at each other and remained silent.

Finally, the eldest, Professor Qin Taifeng, spoke up: "General Zheng, don't look at this as just a small steel pipe. What is wound on it is theoretical knowledge in the electromagnetic field that leads the entire world. Before we fully comprehend these theories, we cannot restore it to the state it was in when it was brought here. In this situation, we can only..."

Professor Qin Taifeng's tone was helpless. "We can only send it back to the factory."

This was undoubtedly very embarrassing.

Of course, what was even more embarrassing was that a group of senior professors and scholars, with a combined age of nearly 2500 years, couldn't handle something made by an eighteen-year-old college student, and could only guess at the basic principles. This was a disgrace of epic proportions.

The experts present were all proud and stubborn individuals, but on this matter, they chose silence.

"Is that so?" Looking at the silent experts, General Zheng nodded slightly. "Thank you all for your hard work. I hope you will not discuss today's events outside."

After speaking, he turned and walked out of the conference room door. "Lift the alert." "Yes!"

"Zheng Yi, General Zheng has summoned you, report for duty!" "Yes!"

The soldiers moved quickly, and soon all the sentries around the conference room were withdrawn, leaving only the two guards at the door and the personnel inside the conference room guarding the steel pipe.

And the numerous experts. Looking at each other awkwardly, Chen Weiming spoke up: "What do we do now?"

"What else can we do?" Professor Qin Taifeng smiled slightly. "The ancient saying goes, 'Among three people, there must be one who is my teacher.' If you don't know, then go learn from those who do!" Asking for knowledge is not shameful!

General Zheng left the conference room door and, accompanied by his guard, entered another building, which housed his private office.

The highest command authority of the entire Defense Department was located here. But apart from a limited number of people, almost no one knew.

"Report." "Come in."

Zheng Yi, wearing a military uniform, pushed the door open and entered, standing straight.

"General Zheng, Zheng Yi, leader of the first team of the Defense Department's special action group, reporting for duty."

General Zheng put down the document in his hand, looked at Zheng Yi slightly, and nodded. "Not bad." He immediately pointed to the chair in front of him. "Sit."

Zheng Yi sat down as instructed.

"There are no outsiders here, no need for that." General Zheng relaxed slightly, looked at Zheng Yi, and smiled. "It seems your training over the past few months has been quite good; you have a hint of your father in you now."

"Dad." Zheng Yi said helplessly. "Can you wait until we finish the serious business before talking about this?"

"Then let's talk about serious business first." General Zheng laughed and then asked: "Is there any problem with this Wang Shuo?"

"I previously suspected that Wang Shuo was a secret agent hiding in W City." Zheng Yi frowned slightly. "But as you have seen, all the experts unanimously determined that the electromagnetic system provided by Wang Shuo is completely different from the technical route of the electromagnetic system we captured, and Wang Shuo's is even more advanced. Furthermore, Wang Shuo's background is very clean, and he has almost no chance of contact with foreign entities. Therefore, I believe the suspicion against Wang Shuo can be canceled."

"Hmm." General Zheng nodded. "If this is your final judgment, then I agree, but you must take responsibility for it."

"I will take responsibility." Zheng Yi nodded firmly. "If there are any problems with Wang Shuo, I am willing to take full responsibility for it."

General Zheng looked up at his daughter and showed a hint of a smile. "Very good."

"Second question." General Zheng's expression became slightly more serious. "Can this Wang Shuo really handle the full system of electromagnetic Weapon?"

"I cannot be sure about that." Zheng Yi handed over the document she had been holding. "This is my detailed report, including the exact words Wang Shuo said, which are recorded in detail inside."

General Zheng took the document, opened it, and read it carefully. The more he read, the more serious his expression became.

A few minutes later, General Zheng placed the document on the table and, without saying a word, pondered slightly.

Zheng Yi waited quietly.

"Zheng Yi." General Zheng thought of the many silent experts and made a decision.

"I now order you to formally take over the W City special action group. You will be fully responsible for the liaison work with Wang Shuo, and at the same time, monitor and protect Wang Shuo."

"Be careful and discreet." "Yes."

Zheng Yi was not surprised. She knew that even if she was willing to take full responsibility for Wang Shuo, for her father, he would not take any risks before being completely certain.

Moreover, her father's habit of betting big had flared up again.

Only this time, between the experts and Wang Shuo, he chose Wang Shuo. Well, pragmatism comes first.

This was indeed the style of Commander Zheng.

"Then how should we respond to those conditions of Wang Shuo?" Zheng Yi asked.

"Agree to them." General Zheng said heavily. "You can agree to all of them without any discount."

Sincerity is something that, if given, must be given in full. Being stingy is worse than not giving at all. Moreover, he represents the country, China, and cannot be too petty.

Furthermore, at this stage, nothing is more important than the electromagnetic Weapon. Compared to the priority of this, other things must take a backseat.

"Doesn't he want certificates? Give them to him!" "Doesn't he want land? Give it to him!" "Doesn't he want people? Give them to him!"

"As long as he can successfully make an Electromagnetic Rifle with performance comparable to the existing Weapon systems of the United States, let alone a few certificates and plots of land, even if he wants to go to the sky, I can promise him!"

General Zheng stood up, looked at Zheng Yi, and said decisively: "Tell him, as long as he has rendered meritorious service to the country, the country will not mistreat him!" "My China never fails those who have rendered meritorious service!"
