378: Chapter 377 Magnetic Compression Engine

The quiet factory was brightly lit.

The Figure stood before a massive table, one hand extended, with an object full of sci-fi aesthetics hovering above his palm, rotating slightly and bobbing up and down.

This scene felt eternal.

After observing it meticulously for a while and satisfying his urge to show off, Wang Shuo withdrew his hand with satisfaction.

"Zero, name this thing the Primary Electromagnetic Dynamic Gravitational Field Compression Generator, abbreviated as Primary Field Generator (Prototype), and set its usage name to Magnetic Compression Engine. Start calibrating the parameters."

"Understood, sir."

Zero's voice rang out, and columns of data appeared on the small screen beside Wang Shuo.

"Device type name: Primary Electromagnetic Dynamic Induction Gravitational Field Compression Generator."

"Device abbreviation: Primary Field Generator."

"Operational context alias: Magnetic Compression Engine."

"Device parameters: Base diameter: 25cm."

"Electromagnetic field compression ratio: 1:143.78."

"Field distribution range: 2-25cm."

"Device thrust (diameter 25cm): Greater than 3500g."

"Device mass: 2000g."

...Wang Shuo had no mood to continue looking at the rest; he only stared at the thrust parameter.

3500g? No, this was just the number Zero evaluated based on mass parameters; the actual figure was far higher.

Just looking at the acceleration of this four-catty iron lump in that instant, he knew the actual thrust would likely exceed 4500g.

Wang Shuo was satisfied with this.

As long as he made a few simple improvements and equipped this device with the corresponding control system, then...

Thinking of this, Wang Shuo felt quite happy.

In fact, in Wang Shuo's view, the significance of this device's success did not lie in the device itself, but in the fact that its success, in a sense, verified for the first time the authenticity and effectiveness of some technologies from the Humanoid Race that had not yet appeared in the modern human world.

It allowed Wang Shuo to understand the essence of the Humanoid Race universe and the human universe more deeply.

Another point was the value brought by the technology itself.

Field generators had always been on the PowerPoint presentations of secret departments in some human countries, but due to a lack of theoretical support, there had never been a substantial breakthrough.

So, was its only significance just a levitation device?

If you thought so, you would be dead wrong.

This thing was a product of high-level theory regarding electromagnetic interaction principles, a further utilization of electromagnetic induction phenomena, and the essential proof and core product of this theory's practicality.

After saying so much, what did it mean?

It meant that the birth of this thing represented the birth of high-level electromagnetic interaction theory.

Wang Shuo didn't know or care about the Humanoid Race, but on Earth, from now on, no matter who mentioned electromagnetic interaction principles, they would have to respectfully call Wang Shuo the father!

The discoverer and founder of electromagnetic interaction theory, the father of electromagnetic interaction theory—Wang Shuo!

With just this title, Wang Shuo could be recorded in human history!

Only at this moment did Wang Shuo truly feel that he had changed his destiny, and the gears of history were slowly shifting under his push.

Even Wang Shuo himself could not see what the future would look like.

Cutting off the power to the device, Wang Shuo found a box and packed this epoch-making item away.

Its historical mission was already complete; what would truly be put to use were the second, third, or even second-generation and third-generation units manufactured based on this prototype.

"Zero, immediately start optimizing the magnetic engine. I need to increase its thrust data; increase the base size and input power if necessary."

"Also, build a plan for the Magnetic Compression Engine's control system as soon as possible. Use existing technology for the basic control modules and units as much as possible; do not use too much content from the database."

"Understood, sir."

"Also."

Wang Shuo frowned and thought for a moment: "I need you to simulate and calculate the maximum effect of the field generator under the most ideal structure, as well as possible application paths. If this thing were made into a Weapon, how effective would it be?"

In fact, Wang Shuo had already seen some scenarios in the Humanoid Race's technical data, but with technology, you never know if it can meet theoretical standards without practice.

"Understood, sir."

Zero's voice was as steady as always.

Wang Shuo nodded slightly, placed the box in his hand on the shelf next to him, and was just about to drink some water to relieve his fatigue when he heard Zero's voice ring out again.

"The task has encountered a problem, sir."

Wang Shuo drank some water and asked: "Describe the problem."

"During the execution of the task, there is a data deficiency."

Wang Shuo frowned: "Describe in detail."

"There is insufficient simulation calculation data, sir. I cannot fully model and simulate the target task according to your requirements. You may need to establish a new simulation environment and provide accurate material parameters."

"I understand."

Wang Shuo put down the water cup, his expression calm.

He had already anticipated this.

When Wang Shuo first created Zero, he had always wanted to create a simulation sandbox that basically replicated the real environment to solve the uncertainty Zero faced when encountering numerical simulation tasks.

This sandbox had to ensure several key points, including: complete material values, complete material properties, and basic physical rules based on reality.

Wang Shuo called it the Physics Engine.

At first, Wang Shuo was still quite confident.

Regarding basic physical rules, no one on Earth had explored them more deeply than the Humanoid Race; they had even reached the level of multi-dimensional planes and had begun researching sub-space.

As for humans, they hadn't even seen what sub-space looked like, let alone researched it.

Material properties went without saying. The Humanoid Race had explored almost the entire Humanoid Race universe; anything that existed in the universe could hardly escape the fate of being studied. Even if something didn't exist, the Humanoid Race could find a way to create it—optimizing it if it was useful, or letting it gather dust in the database if it wasn't.

While humans were still exploring the composition of light, the Humanoid Race had already split photons into several pieces; they could even use a single excited photon to cause a chain reaction of matter-energy conversion in objects.

The most representative ones were... photon guns and photon cannons. A beam of light fired, and as long as it touched matter, it would immediately make you shatter starting from the atoms, and once this shattering began, there was no way to stop it.

This meant that no physical armor could withstand this thing.

But this thing was also exceptionally useless.

It was the same old saying: where there is a spear, there is a shield. Photon cannons were very strong, strong enough to even destroy planets, but if they encountered a nemesis, they wouldn't even be as useful as a missile.

Wang Shuo had also seen this nemesis in the data; it was called the Energy Force Field Shield Generator, or Energy Shield for short.

The principle was very simple: you're awesome because you destroy matter on contact, right? Then I just won't let you touch matter, right?

Energy shields were used for exactly this.

Eliminating you from afar, or deflecting you elsewhere—this way, no matter how awesome you were, you couldn't be awesome against things inside the shield.

Ahem, got sidetracked.

The rest was complete material values.

As for material values, it was basically the same as above; the Humanoid Race had rich experience and data.

But the problem lay in this richness.

The Humanoid Race's data was simply too vast, so vast that Wang Shuo didn't dare to think about it.

And Knowledge Infusion was a highly risky affair.

Up to now, all of Wang Shuo's Knowledge Infusions had involved confirming the scope of the data in advance, selecting a very specific word as a keyword, minimizing the transmitted content, and then having the data transmitted bit by bit, not daring to overstep at all.

What was even more frustrating was that before The Figure left, he only gave him the Humanoid Race's writing but did not match the key definitions of the characters with modern human language. This resulted in the ridiculous situation where Wang Shuo knew it was iron, but didn't know which character in the Humanoid Race's writing was iron.

Of course, this was just a simple example.

The fact was, Wang Shuo had now basically figured out the Humanoid Race elements corresponding to existing human elements, so a situation like when he first manufactured copper-based superconducting materials would no longer occur.

But even so, Wang Shuo still dared not rashly intervene in the Humanoid Race's database to request data related to material properties and values; he was afraid of being overwhelmed by an accidental Knowledge Infusion.

The situation thus fell into an awkward state.

Originally, Wang Shuo wanted to wait until his brain was further strengthened before doing this, but it seemed he couldn't wait until then.

Zero's rapid progress and his own increasingly obvious needs were urging him to perfect the Physics Engine as soon as possible.

"Zero."

After thinking for a long time, Wang Shuo finally spoke: "Create a task: build a new Physics Engine, with the source code written by me personally. You are authorized to start collecting all corresponding data, including but not limited to the characteristics, density, physical properties, chemical properties, and molecular and atomic composition of various materials—as long as the algorithm needs it, I want it all."

"Also, I need a precision laboratory, and I need personnel to re-examine the material substances to ensure their accuracy."

"Finally, we also need a highly precise and fully functional detection system."

Due to measurement errors, Wang Shuo was not prepared to directly use existing data unless it was precise data from those laboratories.

If this stuff were used in his data model, the difference of even one decimal place could result in vastly different outcomes.

It was safer to re-examine it himself.

If he wasn't going to do it, fine; but if he was going to do it, he had to do it to the best of his ability.

"Zero."

Wang Shuo looked at zero egg, his expression firm, as if facing death.

"Help me activate Command Number Five!"
