Chapter 330: Minefield (Part 2/3)

Translator: Strivon

Crag Burst was stupefied upon being caught in Luo Nan's gaze. He soon came back to reality, and he immediately withdrew back. ”Don't you say that you want to do things all by yourself. And don't you say you want everyone to help each other. This is the work you mental dogs should be doing. I am a physical class…. You should just ask me to go kill the folks at Headquarters.”

Luo Nan wasn't counting on him. He laughed, and his gaze deviated. ”Worker Zhai, I need to request this of you.”

Worker Zhai gaped with his mouth. In the end, he could only shake his head with a bitter smile. He expressed himself many times that he was powerless in this situation. He wasn't being humble. This was the final conclusion he obtained after evaluating the resources and technology. This 'request' was impossible to resolve.

He merely listened to Luo Nan say, ”I know it's useless to be anxious about this, and I don't expect to see success after a mere one or two months. I just want to take this chance and ask you to help me establish a foundation.”

Luo Nan wasn't someone who had a way with words. He stopped once he spoke to this point. He saw that Worker Zhai didn't immediately refuse, and he followed his train of thought in continuing, ”I am also a mentally enhanced ability user. And I am precision-focused as well. Brother Papercut also mentioned that I naturally should step into the repair technician business. I learn, and you teach. We can even have social exchanges….”

Crag Burst saw how much effort Luo Nan was putting in formulating his words, and he couldn't resist from helping, ”In your case, both teacher and student will benefit!”

The words reminded Worker Zhai of something. His eyes lit up as he comprehended that this sixteen-year-old high school student was already an official member of the Society. Luo Nan certainly far surpassed him in mental cultivation. He thought about how Luo Nan could obtain such achievements at such a young age. Aside from having outstanding talent, Luo Nan must be quite skilled in cultivating techniques. At the very least, Luo Nan's methods should be better than his rogue cultivation.

As such, not only would both teacher and student benefit, a mutual exchange of assistance was possible.

Many years had slipped away with him outside the gate to the Society. His goal was in sight, but unattainable. Even though he was optimistic, there was always some worry in his mind. At this moment, there suddenly was a turn for the better, and Worker Zhai's heart stirred.

But then he saw the complicated structure of the shadow web, and he saw the myriad of diagrams flashing through the hologram. His brain felt a faint ache. It was easy to accept Luo Nan as a student, but no matter which ways they go about it, Luo Nan's ultimate target still lay with the dynamo core. In regard to this, Worker Zhai didn't even have a direction to start with.

It wasn't his style to deceive others and deceive himself. It wasn't his style to fail to carry things through.

Worker Zhai subconsciously let out a sigh.

Luo Nan knew that Worker Zhai's attitude had somewhat changed. But there was an unwillingness to let go in the bottom of his heart. He thought for a while, and he walked up to the workbench. ”You mentioned just now that you lack parameters?”

Worker Zhai's emotions were a complete mess. He removed his portable microscope and pinched the bridge of his nose. ”Actually, the problem lies with the research direction. Kinetic energy transformation is only the simplest step. How does it store it? How does it perform work with that energy? How does it appear within this precise structure? It involves far too many things.”

”I don't quite understand the engineering side of things, but for the direction, I can propose a starting point. Do you have a pen?”

Luo Nan asked for a digital drafting pen. He drew a figure on the three-dimensional projection, on the shadow web.

His many years of quick sketching had increased his basic skills. The digital pen's lustrous lines of light streaked and flowed easily. An iota of arcs formed circles in front of the roughest ends of tentacles.

Then the tip of the pen cut around the surface of the sphere to draw a tetrahedron. Afterwards, at the perimeter of the tetrahedron, at the end points of the tetrahedron, the pen drew out a larger circle.

Worker Zhai saw clearly the entire process of Luo Nan's work. He also saw clearly the figure that was drawn. He was dumbfounded on the spot.

A circle. A tetrahedron. Another circle. These three figures were nested within each other. Their relationships were clear, and the points at which the figures connected, as well as the area they covered, greatly matched up with the three-level tentacle structure of the dynamo core. The matching wasn't one of a strong beat or a weak beat. It was a harmony that warmed the heart and delighted the eye.

Pure feeling was unreliable in the field of engineering, but feeling was often the guide to success.

”Archetype Format?”

Crag Burst blurted this out. He soon corrected himself, being under Luo Nan's blazing eyes. ”Formatting Theory…. What a coincidence?”

”It's quite a coincidence. We might as well try.”

Luo Nan didn't understand the mechanical design, but he knew that it involved the dynamo core. He knew that there would be a pleasant surprise if he overlapped it with Formatting Theory. This was proven before by Jack.

He threw the digital pen down and turned around. ”Worker Zhai, these are my thoughts. You might as well think it over again. We can get in touch with each other at any time.”

Worker Zhai's gaze was glued to the three-dimensional diagram. He was unable to withdraw his gaze for a time.

Luo Nan and Crag Burst bid their farewells. They didn't take the hovering target with them, and they left the miniature rhombohedron behind as well. Worker Zhai didn't object to this.

Basically, they already reached an agreement to work together. The agreement was likely to last quite a while. Even with Formatting Theory as a reference, completely breaking through the mysteries of the dynamo core was absolutely not an easy task.

Xue Lei hung up the phone on his end to go have a headache over how to hide this matter for a longer period of time. As for Luo Nan, he sat in the back of the jeep. His brows were always furrowed during his deep contemplation. The load on his mind was heavy.

Crag Burst couldn't hold back from asking, ”Where to now?”

”The branch's laboratory.”

”Uh, so we're going to Shanding Towers?”

Luo Nan came back to reality. ”I'm saying that I need the research data that the branch's laboratory has on the dynamo core. I need all of it. I also need their future data on their future progress.”

”What's there to think about regarding this? Just directly access the data.”

”Then draw attention to myself and be watched?”

Crag Burst grinned. It wasn't a problem to access data, but if Luo Nan wanted follow-up updates and in-depth participation, he would draw unwanted attention to himself and cause more issues to arise.
