Chapter 197

In the previous world, every city built meant the survival of millions of people.
And in this world …
Every line of defense only represented a chance to retreat.
And once the last line of defense was breached, there would be no retreat.
That would be a complete failure.
This depended on the speed of weapon research, the actual effects of the weapons, the contributions of soldiers and Extraordinaires, and the strength of the front line.
If they succeeded, at least one billion people would survive.
If they failed …
The end of the world would come.
"Clove, how's their research on laser weapons going?" Shen Yi asked.
Over the past few months, Gaussian weapons and heavy armor equipment had been constantly upgraded.
Xi He even exchanged for basic implantation technology to increase the chances of survival for the wounded, and even to step into the battlefield again.
However, the ones that could really play a critical role …
It was still laser weapons.
After all, Gaussian weapons were extremely limited against Level 3 exotic beasts.
"They've already carried out the 238th firing experiment, but they're stuck on two key materials. The materials that can withstand the high temperature of tens of millions of degrees Celsius when fired by laser cannons, and the materials that transport energy." "As for breakthroughs in material science, there's a high degree of luck involved. According to the Red Queen's calculations … after solving the problem of the materials, it will still take at least two months to perfect and experiment before it can be put into production."
These were all reported by the Red Queen to Clove.
Clove had absolute authority as a superior.
The Red Queen was only a subordinate.
"After the breakthrough in material science, it will still take two months before it can be put into production?" Shen Yi rubbed his temples. "From putting it into production to expanding it to the largest scale, it will take at least three to four months. But the final Beast Tide will appear about four months later."
That was a very tight schedule.
Shen Yi looked at his system.
There were actually many materials in it. Some could not be mass produced with the current production conditions, and some were completely useless.
The three camps had already exchanged for a lot of materials, trying to find inspiration from these technologies.
They had also exchanged for many theories.
But just as Clove said.
This required luck.
They had to find the most suitable materials under the current conditions.
"Technology … the technical level of the association must really be raised!" Shen Yi could no longer remember how many times he had said this.
However, he was increasingly aware of the importance of this matter.
The system was like a treasure trove.
However, there were many things that could not be used by Shen Yi alone.
The power of the mystical realm required people to cultivate and use it.
It was the same for science.
As the final project began, the scientists also felt a strong sense of urgency.
All of the scholars had reached their limits under this immense pressure.
Many people couldn't make it through.
Some of them had even gone insane.
However, some people were still fighting on the front lines.
"Red Queen, begin the simulation."
Xiao Gang wore a white coat and stood in front of the virtual projection table. He was probably the cleanest and healthiest of all the scientists present.
This was all thanks to his strong self-control.
Even in such an environment that could drive a person crazy, he had to eat on time. He even used drugs to force his brain to slow down and rest.
And under his leadership.
The rest of the scientists also used this method.
They were almost the last of the scholars to persevere.
"The 2458th simulation is in progress. However, due to insufficient parameters, the probability of this simulation is up to 7% off." The Red Queen seemed to be sitting on a small chair with her feet dangling.
It seemed to be because of the girl image that Shen Yi had initially set for her.
The Red Queen's character development was somewhat naive and romantic.
On the virtual projection in front of her.
An extremely exaggeratedly shaped cannon was being constructed at a rapid pace.
Then it was charged.
It emitted a scorching light.
The core of this laser cannon's attack was high temperature. It was like concentrating the sun's light hundreds of millions of times, and the photons fired would contain a temperature of tens of millions of degrees Celsius.
It carried great destructive power.
However …
This was also a great challenge for the cannon itself.
Even if it was not a direct hit, the heat alone was enough to destroy the cannon itself.
This was directly solved by a powerful material in the laser cannon's technology.
But here …
Boom!
The laser cannon in the simulation instantly exploded.
"It still doesn't work. The simulation effect this time is not even as good as the previous one." The Red Queen looked regretful.
Xiao Guang was not surprised.
The material itself required a lot of trial and error.
The Red Queen had saved them a lot of time.
If it was not for the Red Queen …
Unless they were lucky enough to discover such a new material, it would take them decades or even centuries just to try it out.
But!
It should not be just that.
Xiao Guang's gaze was not on the simulation, but on the Red Queen.
"Red Queen, what do you think and suggest about this failure?" Xiao Guang asked the routine question after every simulation.
He would ask the Red Queen every time.
"Hmm …"
The Red Queen reached out a finger to her chin, tilted her head, and looked like she was thinking.
This meant that her computing power had been pushed to the maximum.
If not, it would not take time at all.
That was a terrifying amount of calculation.
Finally, the Red Queen clapped her hands as if she had gotten the answer.
"The failure this time is still the old problem of heat resistance. But, according to the calculation of Theodore's Third Formula, the heat resistance of this combination of materials should be higher. But, but …" The Red Queen's tone was a little excited. "But, I think, the biggest possibility is that your understanding of Theodore's Third Formula is wrong."
"Wrong? How could it be wrong? " A scientist could not help but say, "This is the theoretical material science knowledge exchanged from the Pan-Humanist Guardians. It's written clearly on it."
"Let the Red Queen continue." Zhuo Gang's gaze was still fixed on the Red Queen.
"This theoretical knowledge comes from a human civilization that is of a higher level than your civilization. Furthermore, it is not a specialized textbook for teaching low-level civilizations. Many of the theories in it surpass your knowledge reserves. Therefore, I'm wondering if there is a premise that you have not noticed but is very common in this civilization." The Red Queen's expression was confident and excited. "This calculation is huge, but I suddenly thought, could it be that the materials were not forged enough, because according to the Huang's molecular bond formula …"
Following the Red Queen's explanation.
The expressions of some of the scientists around gradually changed.
Because there was indeed such a possibility.
But compared to this, what really changed their expressions was …
This was inspiration.
It was not an answer obtained through a lot of calculations, but inspiration.
As an artificial intelligence, the Red Queen had begun to have inspiration!
