Luo Nan observed the rhombohedron object as well as Worker Zhai. The latter was carefully sizing up the former with great concentration.
"It's definitely not part of the Comet III's design. The hovering target's control program is very simple. The main control chip has already been integrated into the shaft. And this little thing seems to be unnecessary. "
Crag Burst asked curiously, "Unnecessary?"
"Let's do an experiment … Studio 245, one Batwing Model A outer shell, thank you."
The last few sentences were directed at the warehouse in the maintenance center. As he spoke, Worker Zhai let go of the rhombohedron object. He inspected the gyroscope's rotor and its internal and external frames, especially the disassembled central shaft. He repeated this process twice before beginning to assemble it.
It was obvious that Worker Zhai had deliberately ignored the tiny rhombohedron during the assembly process. He had only restored the gyroscope-shaped floating target. His speed was very fast, and he finished assembling the shell before the conveyor belt arrived.
When the outer shell arrived, Worker Zhai quickly stuffed the gyroscope inside. In the end, what appeared before Luo Nan and Crag Burst's eyes was a very strange bowl-shaped object. It looked like a flying saucer that wasn't very regular.
Crag Burst was very familiar with this toy: "The Batwing Model A target aircraft. It combines high-speed flight and emergency hovering maneuverability very well. The Model B and Model C can actually be used as simple weapons platforms. They can be used in the wilderness."
Worker Zhai smiled at Crag Burst. This could be considered an affirmation of his expertise. Then, he let go, and the big bowl, oh, target machine floated in the air with a low hum. It slowly moved horizontally, gliding past the tips of the three people's noses, and gradually accelerated.
As the speed of the target plane increased, it was like a bat, flying back and forth in the narrow workshop, but there was no collision.
Worker Zhai looked at the light screen to the side. Various test data was displayed on it like a waterfall. Ten seconds later, he shook his head. "I didn't discover any problems."
As he spoke, Worker Zhai cast his gaze toward the miniature support. His gaze paused for a moment under the rhombohedron object. He switched to the holographic interface and displayed the repair order that Luo Nan had filled out before. "I need to make a confirmation. The fault you discovered, Mr. Luo …."
"It's a tai chi ball that can float in the air … …" Luo Nan was very cooperative as he gave a general description of the situation.
Worker Zhai thought for a moment, then asked, "How heavy is the tai chi ball?"
"It's half the height of a person and it's made of hard metal. It should weigh at least a few hundred kilograms." Luo Nan really wasn't too sure.
Worker Zhai made a sound of surprise. Crag Burst coughed, "Nanster, the motor of the floating target can only lift five kilograms at most."
Worker Zhai shook his head. "I don't see any changes to the floating target's propulsion and transmission mechanism. Oh, if the metal mesh is used as a support, then it can be considered a part of the transmission mechanism. However, its propulsion doesn't make sense."
"Is that so?" Luo Nan only had a superficial understanding of the tai chi ball. It was very hard for him to answer such a question. After a moment of consideration, he could only pull up his contact list and call Xue Lei.
At this time, Xue Lei was at home. It seemed like he was still doing a lot of training. He was panting slightly. He really didn't want to waste any time. Of course, he was familiar with the Tai Chi ball, but the problem was that he was not good with words. If he really had to describe it, he would not be able to express himself.
"The Taiji ball is able to continuously accumulate and transform the energy that is struck into various forms of rebounding force. It can also directly change the nature of the energy …"
Crag Burst bumped Luo Nan with his shoulder. "He's worthy of being your best friend. It's the same."
Luo Nan ignored him. He still wanted to communicate with Xue Lei, but Xue Lei had already found a more efficient method. "How about this. I recorded a video last year about training with the Tai Chi ball. I'll send it to you now. You'll understand once you see it. It's true."
The video file was right next to his hand, and Xue Lei immediately began to transfer it. The network environment of the repair center was quite outstanding. Luo Nan saw that there was a lot of bandwidth, so he simply opened up a video call, allowing Xue Lei to directly participate.
Xue Lei and Crag Burst had met before. Luo Nan just introduced Worker Zhai to Xue Lei, and the video file was finished transferring.
Worker Zhai indicated for Luo Nan to transfer the file to the wide hologram, and they watched it together.
The video was recorded from a very monotonous angle. It was clear that Crag Burst was recording himself. The location was in Gym Master Xiu's backyard. Xue Lei was bare-chested, revealing a body of strong muscles. He adjusted his breathing and punched.
Xue Lei punched the tai chi ball, producing a deep sound. It was clear that Xue Lei's strength was considerable. However, the tai chi ball only trembled slightly.
"This penetrative force is truly beautiful!" Crag Burst clicked his tongue in admiration. He was not stingy with his praise. He turned his head to face Luo Nan and said, "Leister is truly amazing. He sent the maximum power of his fist into the center of the tai chi ball. The hovering target took the brunt of the force. That's why there's such an effect."
Xue Lei's strikes continued without end. His speed didn't change, and the tai chi ball maintained its stability from beginning to end. A minute passed, and his fist suddenly increased in strength. His bare arm actually made an explosive sound out of thin air.
Not only was the force of this strike fiercer, but there was also a change in the force behind it. The tai chi ball didn't fall back after receiving a heavy blow. Instead, it actually jumped up. It jumped over the edge of the metal bowl, reaching a height of twenty centimeters. Xue Lei connected with another punch just as it was about to sink. The hovering target jumped up once more, swaying a bit. This time, it didn't come down.
The tai chi ball, weighing several hundred kilograms, floated in the air. It was thirty centimeters above the ground, and it began to spin.
Xue Lei's expression was focused. The speed of his punches didn't change, but one punch after another brought with it an explosive sound. The hovering target was still swaying at first. Occasionally, it would shift. But later on, the swaying became smaller and smaller, and the spinning speed grew faster and faster. The luminous patterns on its surface were visible even in broad daylight.
The video ended here.
Crag Burst applauded and cheered. Xue Lei was a bit embarrassed.
Luo Nan looked at Worker Zhai. Worker Zhai was looking at the still image of the video. Worker Zhai was a bit spellbound. He sighed in admiration, but there wasn't much surprise in his expression.
Crag Burst saw Worker Zhai's expression and grinned. "What do you think? Do you see the trick yet? Can it be fixed? "
Worker Zhai lowered his head and pondered for a moment. His expression was still calm. "I get the gist of it. It should be a way to store and transform external kinetic energy. The storage is like a spring. The greater the force, the greater the expected rebound. The method of transformation is quite interesting. It goes from straight force to rotational force. There's also that buoyancy …. Let me do an experiment. "
He moved the miniature support, sending the miniature rhombohedron into a certain instrument chamber. It was fixed on all four sides. A buzzing vibration immediately rang out. It could be seen that it was imitating Xue Lei's fist strength. It was transmitting external kinetic energy into the rhombohedron.
Luo Nan adjusted the direction of the video to let Xue Lei see the process of the experiment. The three people observed very attentively, but there were no changes to the miniature rhombohedron even after a dozen or so seconds had passed.
Worker Zhai wasn't in a hurry. He soon made another adjustment. This time, he directly connected the miniature rhombohedron with electricity. The voltage and current increased, but the rhombohedron within the instrument chamber still didn't have any reaction.
"It's completely broken?" Xue Lei was a bit disappointed.
"Should we try again after it's completely restored?" Crag Burst wanted to change his method.
Worker Zhai didn't speak any further. He just stared at the instrument chamber and continued to make adjustments. A metal rod flipped up under the operating table as he operated. The top was shaped like a handle, and it was even wrapped in a layer of insulating cloth.
When the metal rod was at a ninety degree angle with the ground, Worker Zhai pressed down on the handle at the top and took a deep breath.
Luo Nan raised his eyebrows at this moment. Crag Burst turned his head a bit later. The two locked gazes, confirming that subtle fluctuations were being produced on the mental plane.
"Hey hey hey! It's changed! It's changed!" Xue Lei discovered the changes within the instrument chamber in the first instant through the high-speed network without any delay.
Luo Nan and Crag Burst turned their gazes and saw several long and slender threads extending out from the outer layer of the miniature rhombohedron. They slowly swayed up and down, left and right.
