395: Chapter 394 Training

Up to this point, Wang Shuo had obtained three major knowledge systems from the Humanoid Race core.

They were Molecular Engineering, Universal Force Field Science, and Photonic Structural Science.

Each knowledge system was merely the tip of the iceberg, yet each one had profoundly shocked Wang Shuo.

Molecular Engineering had given birth to new materials Science and created various Room-temperature superconductors. As far as Wang Shuo knew, when Molecular Engineering developed to its limit, it could manipulate material molecules within a controlled space to a certain degree, controlling their arrangement and combination.

This ability left Wang Shuo terrified. This wasn't even the limit; in their final tens of thousands of years, the Humanoid Race had even discovered the most essential particle of the universe—the ultimate source of all matter—through Molecular Engineering.

They had even wanted to manipulate this particle to generate matter out of thin air.

Wang Shuo couldn't understand the specific process, but... it seemed to have ultimately failed.

Universal Force Field Science had given birth to the force field compression principle and created the Magnetic Energy Engine, and its development prospects were also terrifying.

However, these were all too far removed from Wang Shuo; they were at a level he couldn't even comprehend. Being able to build and use them didn't mean he could grasp the grandeur behind these theories. Without that understanding, he wouldn't have much of a reaction.

But Photonic Structural Science was different.

Wang Shuo knew about light. Human society had been studying light for thousands of years, giving birth to countless conjectures and theories about it.

The most famous one was: Light is the fastest substance in the universe.

For hundreds of years, countless people had believed in this, listing it as a truth. But now, an existence that seemed more like truth than truth itself—an entire civilization—was telling him: Light is not the fastest substance in the universe, and the particles that compose light are not without mass or volume.

The truth had collapsed.

It was like a skyscraper whose foundation had been destroyed by someone, collapsing so thoroughly that not a single brick remained.

Wang Shuo only felt a mysterious veil covering his eyes, making him unable to see clearly.

"This is truly incredible."

Wang Shuo muttered to himself, "If this gets out, those scholars and fans who worship relativity as truth might just try to fight me to the death."

In this world, no one dared to say their theory was absolutely correct.

All theories were summaries and distillations of objective laws; they could only explain material movement within their scope of capability. Once beyond that scope, the theory was no longer applicable.

Relativity was the same.

Relativity described the operational laws of macroscopic celestial bodies quite perfectly, but it was completely unable to explain the mechanical operating principles at the microscopic level.

The reverse was also true.

But this didn't stop the person who discovered relativity from being placed on a pedestal by the masses.

Compared to the long-famous god-like figures in the scientific community, Wang Shuo was far inferior in terms of seniority, age, popularity, and influence, so he could only keep this statement buried in his heart for now, amusing himself.

However, just because he couldn't talk about the theory didn't mean he couldn't build things.

Wang Shuo recalled the blueprints that appeared in his mind and revealed a slight smile.

"This is a bit of an unexpected joy."

In addition to the precision detector, Wang Shuo had unexpectedly learned the basic principles of another device through Photonic Structural Science.

"Femtosecond Holographic Display."

Looking at this thing, Wang Shuo fell into deep thought.

The principle was very simple; he could build it right now. But to make these two devices completely portable, he needed one more important condition—computing power.

A massive amount of computing power, comparable to a micro-server.

Wang Shuo sighed. After going around in circles, the problem had returned to the starting point.

He took out his phone and dialed Liu Yemei.

"Mr. Wang."

Liu Yemei's voice was as calm as ever, but considering the effect of the 500,000, Wang Shuo could still hear a hint of something different.

Without overthinking it, Wang Shuo asked, "Sister Liu, how is the recruitment going?"

"The first batch of 400 people has arrived. By the time we get off work tonight, the number of newly recruited people should be around 800," Liu Yemei replied.

"So fast?"

Wang Shuo was slightly surprised. He had recruited people before; he had sat there all morning and hadn't recruited a single person. If it hadn't been for Xu Kexin appearing, he reckoned he would have returned empty-handed.

"It is quite fast," Liu Yemei said. "The talent center in Hanzhong City has suspended all other business to fully support our recruitment plan, and the docking with human resources is also quite smooth. Someone must have given them a heads-up."

Wang Shuo naturally knew who this person was.

He just hadn't expected his senior's mobilization ability to be so formidable. Recruiting 1,200 people in two days—this speed could be called terrifying.

However, this was exactly what he wanted.

After a slight pause, Wang Shuo asked, "Sister Liu, how do you plan to arrange this group of people?"

He clearly felt Liu Yemei pause for a moment before her voice came through: "Conduct centralized training for them, and then distribute them to various subsidiaries according to their expertise."

"Diverting them?"

Wang Shuo nodded slightly. He did have some arrangements for these people, but since Liu Yemei had already determined their specific destinations, Wang Shuo didn't intend to gild the lily.

"Sister Liu, follow your arrangements for the specifics, but before they officially take up their posts, they must undergo some training."

"Training?"

Liu Yemei was even more puzzled.

"Yes." Wang Shuo nodded.

"Intense, training."

...

At this time, in Beijing, at the Defense Department.

When Zheng Yi walked into that secret office, she saw General Zheng staring intently at a bulletproof vest.

"Report."

General Zheng said impatiently, "If you have something to say, say it quickly; if not, get out. Can't you see I'm busy?"

Zheng Yi glanced at the bulletproof vest her father regarded as a treasure. With her eyesight, the several bullet holes on the vest were clearly visible.

Withdrawing her gaze, Zheng Yi said calmly, "Reporting to the Chief, Zheng Yi, leader of the confidential team of the Special Situation Department, has an urgent situation to report to you."

General Zheng turned his head and saw Zheng Yi dressed neatly and looking serious. He frowned immediately, walked over to his seat, and sat down, his tone still very helpless: "What is it? Speak. If it's not an urgent matter, don't blame me for being impolite to you."

Zheng Yi's expression didn't change as she said, "It's about the operation in Hanzhong City."

"Duan Ningsheng has already reported this matter to me," General Zheng waved his hand. "And I've read your report, too. There's no problem. If it's repetitive content, there's no need to say it. I'm very busy."

Zheng Yi's face twitched. Facing her own father, even she had a headache.

"Is the 'busy' you mentioned referring to that bulletproof vest?"

General Zheng nodded slightly, a hint of pride appearing on his face: "I'm telling you, this is a treasure. An AK rifle fired six shots at it within thirty meters, and it didn't fully penetrate. Even within ten meters, it's enough to save a life. Tell me, if the whole army were equipped with this, how many soldiers could be saved?"
