Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Technology Integration

In a Qinling laboratory, a group of old and young experts gathered in a room that looked quite advanced, poring over the incredibly complex blueprints on the monitors.

Each person here was an expert among experts, whether they were veterans steeped in decades of experience or the new generation of geniuses with continuous achievements, all of them stared intently at the blueprints.

Mecha, electromagnetic muscles, humanoid weapons—all were set aside as almost everyone’s focus was on the energy system that occupied less than five percent of the blueprints.

On the surface, it seemed like just "plain" palladium reactor technology, which hadn’t yet produced a working model, but its basic theoretical framework had long been established. It remained without tangible results only due to material science issues and the immaturity of related industries.

However, in the eyes of these experts, the so-called palladium reactor in the blueprints differed greatly from what they knew; excluding the impact of precision, generational differences, materials, and ignoring the current palladium reactor technology’s expected use of hydrogen isotopes instead of helium-3 for fuel, there was one point—

The output power of this thing was simply outrageous.

According to the blueprints, a reactor the size of a fist could provide power equivalent to a medium-sized thermal power station.

This data made everyone who received the information initially react with the suspicion that they had been tricked.

However, given the unique "Kaidan" technology of this era, those who had dedicated their energy to scientific research felt a sense of helplessness, as when "delusion" overcame objective laws, their knowledge seemed to become worthless.

It’s not surprising they felt pessimistic. Can you imagine, after spending decades, exhausting wisdom and money in trial and error, only to be outdone by the results brought about by an influential enough movie? For those in scientific research, what kind of sadness would that be?

"No, this is all wrong; the data doesn’t match up at all, this could never be possible!"

Suddenly, a young researcher began scratching her head frantically, emitting a wail of despair. While the others didn’t have such an extreme reaction, similar expressions could be seen on their faces.

They all shared the same view of the blueprints—they simply could not comprehend them.

Even if its parameters and various supporting processes were described with apparent seriousness, to these professionals, it was almost no different from the ravings of a madman.

"The supporting materials have arrived, and they’ve begun constructing the reactor. Do any of you want to take a look?"

Right then, a staffer walked in and addressed the multitude of researchers, and while the concept of this seemingly unscientific device was frustrating, real scientists are by no means "superstitious about science." They believe that existence is justified by itself. So, when they heard that someone was assembling this reactor they all found absurd, nearly everyone focused their attention at once; the scene was much like one from a horror movie, the pressure almost causing the messenger to step back a few paces.

Nevertheless, as professionals and upon receiving permission, he immediately connected the video interface which had been physically disconnected from the network, transmitting the lab’s imagery.

"It’s definitely made using some strange powers, an unreplicable technology black box," someone thought, and in fact, everyone had this thought in their minds.

After all, before the full onset of the era of Kaidan, they had researched some Magic Items, like a nickel ball that never cooled down, still being used as an "open water heating" source to this day.

However, once the video connection was established, their voices slowly fell, and their attention began to focus, watching the person on screen handle various devices with practiced ease.

Because they suddenly realized, for some reason, the originally illogical processes now made sense, and the exaggerated devices that seemed impossible to assemble were gradually being put together.

The miniature reactor in the video continued to be perfected, and as the refined palladium metal was placed in the circuit and helium-3 slowly introduced into the reactor, a reaction began to take place. As nuclear energy was transformed into electrical energy, everyone’s face revealed an expression of sudden understanding.

"I see!"

"I understand now!"

"So, this is what it means!"

"Why couldn’t we figure out something so simple before?"

Such exclamations resounded in the room, but after a brief fervor, those high-end talents almost immediately halted their elation, replaced by a mutually sober and slightly chilling recognition.

If it had been just one or two individuals, that would have been one thing, but when everyone encountered the same issue, it was no longer a coincidence.

They trusted their professional expertise and also realized clearly that this was not a simple oversight. More likely, before the success of the other party, this technology was indeed untenable.

...

"Is that so? Then let me ask differently—without the other party’s assistance and without the design schematics, relying solely on our own technical reserves and materials, can we produce the corresponding item?"

The head of the institute squinted his eyes and posed a crucial question. After receiving an affirmative answer, the communication was temporarily cut off.

"It seems the influence of Kaidan on the world is more thorough than we imagined, at least from the current situation, it’s changed more than just cognition..."

...

"It’s not just an isolated case, is it?" Feng Xue said, smiling oddly as he watched the successfully operating palladium reactor. Examining the mechanism built entirely from the True Object, he confirmed the special status of the "Follow the Map" Power, the ability to embed the rules of one world into another through simple things like blueprints. Even if this didn’t much enhance his own capabilities, Feng Xue decided to cultivate it anyway.

"Although I can’t see the use right now, I have a feeling it will be necessary in the future."

Internally reflecting on another Power that needed different Items to sustain, Feng Xue sighed. While for now, Mo Ju alone could support all Items, he knew he should consider cultivating more "Identity" Items.

After all, taking Old Li’s case as an example, with the increasing number of Powers he needed to sustain, any issue with the Mo Ju Item could have catastrophic consequences.

Writing "Durability" in his notebook, Feng Xue clapped his hands, left the real world, and returned to the two worlds linked by the game Kaidan...
