Sky-cracking Rider-Chapter 1337 - 1303: Simulation Acceleration

The backup Element Annihilation Bomb research team that Louis Industrial Company once sent to Chen Fei did indeed analyze the "Seed Nest" McKenny's imitation of the Magical Beast Crystal Core, but there has been no progress.

After all, the elemental energy crystals nurtured by the "Seed Nest" are not genuine Magical Beast Crystal Cores, and the principles and processes of their generation are quite different.

Conducting research not only requires sufficient materials, money, and talent, but also sufficient time. A breakthrough in major technology can take up to a hundred years without being surprising. One generation may not be able to complete it, so it takes two, three, four... Succession, like dreaming it on the bed, is ultimately the survivor's bias among the very few. There has only been one Mendeleev since ancient times, and even Ruge de Lier's life's highlight moment was just a few hours (The Marseillaise).

Conducting research not only requires sufficient materials, money, and talent, but more importantly, time. A breakthrough in major technology, even if it takes a hundred years, is not surprising, and it may not even result in a good outcome. Everyone only sees the lucky survivor's success in the end, while the countless silent failures are unknown.

Speaking of which, if this topic hadn't been brought up, Chen Fei might have forgotten that the research team might still have some samples.

The elemental energy crystals left by the "Seed Nest" McKenny are biological energy crystals that can store elemental energy and also convert to crystal energy. Most of them are used in the energy cores of tactical units like airships, actively preparing for the battle for the No.2 star system, with an additional batch saved for the elemental annihilation weapon development team led by Mino Heaton.

"'Adam', help me contact Mino Heaton."

It was also through keyword searching that Chen Fei remembered such a person.

Looking at the other person's personal information, he is the head of the No.2 Element Annihilation Weapon Development Team.

Originally, under the big boss of Louis Industrial Company, with his family and forming a new team, he came to join Chen Fei, hoping to leave a fire seed for Blue Star's human civilization in the future "Apocalypse" under the light of the "Ark Plan."

However, because of Chen Fei's variable, Lord Randon's "prophecy" began to veer off course. Now even Louis Industrial Company's entire hierarchy has already taken their bags and run, most production lines and employees along with their families have entered the "Boundary Pearl" life space, Mino Heaton and his team, who have returned to his company, did not return to the original organization but remained independent, becoming the No.2 Element Annihilation Weapon Development Team, competing with the initial team to conduct different development routes. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

But it seems that so far, there has been no major progress. Otherwise, "Adam," who monitors all project progress, and Lord Randon would have informed Chen Fei immediately.

On the invisible AR visual assistance interface visible only to him, the video call was established.

Suddenly being connected to the call, a bedheaded Mino Heaton grumpily asked, "Who is it?"

The phone screen was black, no figure visible, but two words could be clearly seen: Chen Fei.

A small subtitle beside showed "Mission Call Sign: Rookie."

One might not remember "Chen Fei," but will surely know "Rookie," since the mission call sign appears frequently, keeping it confidential yet relatively easy to remember.

But exactly how "rookie" the "Rookie" is, that's a secret!

However, those who know Chen Xiao'er all know that his biggest trait is not being "rookie," but being "impulsive." When he gets impulsive, who knows how terrifying he can be, not even sparing himself; just ask if you're scared.

"I am 'Rookie'!"

The video call is in one-way transparent mode, where Chen Fei can see the other party and the surrounding environment clearly, while the other party can only see the black screen and text.

"'Rookie'? Ah, ah, hello, hello!"

Mino finally came back to his senses. Not only did Chen Fei almost forget him, but he also almost forgot Chen Fei.

The two parties focus on different fields and generally don't have many opportunities to intertwine.

"Do you still have any of McKenny's crystals there?"

As soon as Chen Fei spoke, AI "Adam" automatically displayed a record of experimental material in and out. The inventory left about 138 biological energy crystals, of which about 41 had already been consumed.

The No.2 Element Annihilation Weapon Development Team's head, Mino Heaton, replied without hesitation, "Yes, there are still 139, one of which is in an experiment."

Sure enough, it was not a wasted question!

AI could not determine the current state of the last crystal extracted recently, whether it's intact, being consumed, or has been consumed completely.

"Any progress?"

Chen Fei saw AI "Adam" list out several more pages, with over a hundred research reports and related papers.

For professionals, not expanding the influence factor by publishing papers is like Yang Bailao being exploited by the landlord without payment.

"The basic proof of concept has already been passed; the elemental energy crystals generated by the 'Seed Nest' can be used to make elemental annihilation weapons, but the corresponding elemental annihilation formula still needs continuous adjustment."

The core mystery of elemental annihilation lies in the special phenomenon caused by elemental energy and crystal energy. The elemental annihilation formula is even more complex than the mass-energy equation of nuclear weapons. Mino Heaton and the teammates of the No.2 team have been working tirelessly, yet the progress is not as fast as imagined.

The elemental annihilation formula was provided by Chairman Mr. Randon, but before this, no one was familiar with this formula. Almost everyone on the Elemental Annihilation Weapon Development Team encountered this terrifyingly destructive formula from scratch, making the task of improving and adjusting the formula time-consuming and laborious, without guarantee of success.

"How long is it expected to complete?"

Chen Fei did not check those voluminous technical documents; he was not a professional in this field, so it would be a waste of time for him to read.

"Currently, the main blockade is the formula. It might be as quick as finding the direction in the next second, or as slow as, uh…" Mino Heaton hesitantly scratched at the non-woven fabric cap covering his greasy long hair, looking distressed, "might just turn into a certain lifetime series."

Not all research in the end will necessarily yield results. Conducting scientific research has never been an activity dictated by logic and reasoning; sometimes detours are the true path (small blue pill: side effects are the real efficacious treatment), and there is essentially no right or wrong in it.

This is why Louis Industrial Company retained the No.2 team's true purpose; having one more direction means one more possible way out, creativity should not be restricted, but rather needs more opportunities to diverge.

"I think you guys could use some external forces, compile all the experimental data, establish simulated formulas of elemental annihilation reactions, and utilize computational power resources for large-scale simulation computations, combined with random conditions, using combinatorial methods for simulation."

Chen Fei plans to add an accelerator to the No.2 Element Annihilation Weapon Development Team.

Since there are "planetary-level compute nodes" as such divine artifacts available, and the physical rules of the real world have ready-made computational engines, they should be directly utilized.

Nuclear weapons have simulators, so creating a dedicated simulator for elemental annihilation weapons should have no technical difficulties.

"Using brute force? This will take a long time!"

Mino Heaton gasped, this method is quite brute.
