398: Chapter 397 The Farthest Construction Site
Using a power bank to power 500 induction cookers running at full capacity in 0.001 seconds?
Zheng Yi just thought about it and felt it was a bit exaggerated.
"Actually, it's not impossible."
Chen Yun rubbed her chin and said, "If we put in the effort, it's not impossible using specially made supercapacitors, but capacitors with that kind of power are extremely, extremely large. They couldn't possibly be used on an Electromagnetic Rifle, and they break too easily, with a consistently high loss rate."
"But this rifle…"
Chen Yun said with an expression of amazement, "It actually solved the problem using only five capacitors. Xiao Yi, do you know what that concept means? It's like…"
Chen Yun wasn't very good at making analogies. She thought for a long time before her eyes lit up and she said, "It's like taking the simple Exoskeleton frames we're currently equipped with, having them pass through that person's hands, and turning them into a Gundam."
This analogy… was very vivid. Zheng Yi completely understood what Chen Yun was trying to explain, but why did she feel more awkward the more she listened?
Exoskeleton turning into a Gundam?
It didn't turn into a Gundam, but… that thing in the video wasn't far off from a Gundam.
"So, you've been researching these things for the past few days?"
"Yeah."
Chen Yun nodded and said, "It's been almost three months. The professors have been fighting tooth and nail to figure out what he did inside the Electromagnetic Rifle; they've almost come to blows."
As she spoke, she became a bit unhappy again: "I heard from the professors that this rifle was designed and built by one person, but how is that possible? How could one person create something so rigorous?"
Zheng Yi pondered slightly: "Perhaps it's possible?"
"Absolutely impossible!"
Chen Yun shook her head vigorously and said, "We haven't fully figured out the principles that rifle uses, but one thing is certain: it definitely has a coil-like structure to convert current into a magnetic field. In other words, it has a wire-like structure inside, and this structure can withstand current or voltage at a million-watt power level. This kind of material is already beyond reason! This material alone is not something one person could create!"
Zheng Yi squinted slightly: "Is this your deduction or someone else's?"
"This is common sense!"
Chen Yun snorted, then said somewhat dejectedly: "It's just my deduction. The professors all agree that it uses a brand new electromagnetic theory and that the material isn't the main reason, but this is clearly an easily observable loophole."
"Whether it's lowering voltage to increase current, or lowering current to increase voltage, at a million watts of power, unless this coil is made of gold and its wires are thicker than my arm, it simply couldn't withstand it and would melt. I've thought about it for a long time, and only one material could barely attempt it."
"What material?"
Zheng Yi listened with great interest. This content wasn't something she should be concerned with. Listening to Chen Yun chatter was, first, to keep her company and satisfy her need to vent her frustration; second, it was to collect intelligence. This information would help her fully evaluate Wang Shuo's value and might even allow her to deduce the origins of the forces behind Wang Shuo.
"A superconductor."
Chen Yun said confidently: "Apart from a superconductor, I can't think of any material that can adapt to this kind of instantaneous power."
"However, this is also impossible. You can see the gun barrel at a glance; there is simply no space to set up any temperature control system. Neither high-temperature superconductivity nor low-temperature superconductivity could function. Unless this person created a Room-temperature superconductor, but that's even more impossible. Therefore, this is a paradox."
Chen Yun sighed, looked at Zheng Yi, and said: "A-Yi, I've told you so much today, you must absolutely not tell anyone, especially about that rifle. It's top secret. If you tell anyone, I'm finished."
The corners of Zheng Yi's mouth twitched. She had spilled everything like beans, and only now did she remember confidentiality? This best friend's personality left Zheng Yi between laughter and tears.
She had also met Chen Xin, whose personality was exceptionally cold and detached, the exact opposite of the person in front of her. They didn't seem like they came from the same mother at all.
"I won't tell anyone."
Zheng Yi looked at Chen Yun in front of her and reminded her again: "You must not mention this to anyone else, not even those you are close to."
It was fortunate that she had encountered her, and that she herself was the primary handler of this matter. If it had been anyone else, Chen Yun would have already committed a leak, which is a serious crime.
"I know."
Chen Yun waved her hand with a smile and said: "It's just that I've been holding it in for too long, and I was a bit happy to see you, so I unconsciously said a bit too much."
"Hmm."
Zheng Yi stood up, brushed off the dirt, and said: "I'm leaving."
"Okay."
Chen Yun also stood up, brushed the dust off her palms, and said: "Please keep an eye on my sister's matter for me. If there's anything, notify me immediately. Don't call; my phone has been confiscated. Use another method."
As she spoke, she winked at Zheng Yi.
"I know."
Zheng Yi nodded slightly, agreeing.
"Hehe, A-Yi is the best."
Chen Yun wanted to hug Zheng Yi and act spoiled, but Zheng Yi dodged it. She could only say angrily: "Stingy."
Looking at the curvy figure of the person in front of her that even her military uniform couldn't constrain, Zheng Yi remained calm: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now. And…"
Zheng Yi turned her gaze in one direction; The Figure was running toward them.
"It seems you should be going back too."
Sure enough, before her words faded, a voice came from the direction of the person approaching from afar.
"Director Chen, Director Chen, Professor Qin is looking for you, come back quickly!"
Chen Yun's expression changed slightly, she stuck out her tongue and quickly pulled it back, waving at Zheng Yi: "I've been discovered, so I won't see you off. You leave on your own."
As she spoke, without waiting for Zheng Yi's answer, she turned and ran toward The Figure.
"Coming!"
Zheng Yi shook her head helplessly with a smile, turned, and walked in the direction of her departure.
…
Hanzhong City.
Looking at the endless skyline, Liu Dandan felt she had been deceived.
It was clearly fine when she reported in the morning. Hearing that she had been assigned to the Finance Department, she was secretly happy to have found a job that matched her wishes.
The morning training went very smoothly. Although the company's training location was small, the training content was quite formal. Throughout the whole process, no one asked them for money or transferred them to other companies.
In the afternoon, just when she was expecting some new discoveries, that cold and glamorous supervisor entered, and the situation changed inexplicably.
She only said one sentence to them:
"General Manager Wang has notified that there is a change in your arrangements. Everyone, gather outside the door."
Thus, they came here.
The desolate cold wind seemed to want to freeze her. The shovel in her hand hadn't even been swung yet, but it already felt as if it weighed a thousand catties.
Standing here, Liu Dandan was bewildered.
And equally bewildered were the other hundreds of employees hired at the same time beside her.
Everyone's reaction was the same: they stared blankly at the company employee standing on the bus.
"I know you are all very confused as to why you were brought here."
Han Xiaoxin's voice rang out in the cold wind. Having gone through Wang Shuo's key cultivation and training in various major occasions, he was no longer stage-frightened at all and was conceiving his words with ease.
He didn't have a microphone or a loudspeaker; it was just the zero egg floating beside him that diffused his voice exactly as it was, allowing everyone to hear it.
"This place is the location of one of the company's major projects. Originally, it wouldn't have required all of you to participate. However, General Manager Wang believes that employees of Frontier Technology should have a hardworking and striving spirit, should have the enterprising spirit to fear no difficulties, and even more so, should have the solidarity to share weal and woe!"
"In order to cultivate this spirit in you, the company has temporarily added a new regulation!"
"From now on, as long as you are a newly joined employee, regardless of your ability or position, you are required to train at the company's most advanced project site for at least one month!"
"After one month, positions and levels will be adjusted according to the training results. Those who are unqualified will have their training time extended depending on the situation, up to a maximum of three months! Those who still cannot pass the assessment after three months will be dismissed."
The crowd was in an uproar.
An employee shouted: "What does training mean? And what does the most advanced mean?"
Han Xiaoxin glanced at that person and explained: "Training naturally means its literal meaning. The company will set assessment tasks for you, and you just need to complete them. As for the most advanced…"
Han Xiaoxin's gaze swept over the crowd, and he grinned:
"As the first batch of employees, you are very lucky. This… is the company's farthest construction site currently!"
