Luo Nan sat cross-legged in the center of the spacious hall. He sensed that there was an enormous space of over ten thousand square meters without any support. It was completely transparent. Surrounding him were slowly rotating structural diagrams. Concise lines and symbols were used to indicate the internal structure and function of the machine, as well as the relationship between the various components.
This spacious area was a virtual space set up on the Psychic Wave Network through the HexaEar. Aside from the form that could be seen and felt, a portion of the supercomputing resources of the Xia City branch was borrowed to conduct a certain scale of analysis and calculation.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. This computing space was charged based on the amount of supercomputing resources borrowed. The payment was extremely precious honor points.
However, these minor details were no longer within the scope of Luo Nan's consideration. What he paid the most attention to right now was the tens of thousands of blueprints floating and rotating.
A month ago, Luo Nan would have thought that these mechanical schematics were like a heavenly book. But now, they were completely devoid of any sense of jerkiness. This was not only because of his previous hard work, but also because of his large weight, high intensity recognition, and understanding in a short period of time.
These blueprints had a total of two sources.
One source came from the process of Worker Zhai repairing the tai chi ball Dynamo Core over the past month. Worker Zhai combed through the dynamic structure and restored a portion that represented the possible direction of function.
The second source was a bit further. It came from the spoils of war obtained from killing Jack during the conflict with Quantum Corporation. It was the Deep Sea Type IV Dynamo Core. This item was originally going to be auctioned, but Xia City took note of its uniqueness and intercepted it. The branch never relaxed in their research during these two months. Some of the research methods they adopted overlapped with Worker Zhai's, so at least two-thirds of the blueprints were quite similar.
Without a doubt, there was a fee for borrowing and reading this information.
According to Luo Nan's understanding, the overlapped blueprints belonged to the functional structure of over a thousand threads of varying thickness after the three-layer structure of the Dynamo Core was fully unfolded.
However, there were some special scenes within the Deep Sea Type IV Dynamo Core that Worker Zhai was unable to comprehend at his level. These were the parts that involved the mutual interference between the mental and the material.
From Luo Nan's current understanding, this included a portion of the Tower of Babel and Mount Buzhou. This was the core configuration that broke the barrier between the mental and the material.
There was also a portion that involved a special structure that covered both the mental and material planes. When the Deep Sea Type IV Dynamo Core was fully unfolded, there were some parts that could be felt, known, and measured on the material plane. There were also some parts that were built upon the foundation of the Tower of Babel and Mount Buzhou. This was something that scientific instruments could not detect.
In terms of grade, the Deep Sea Type IV should be at least one grade higher than the Tai Chi Ball Dynamo Core. But then again, Worker Zhai's research was limited by his cultivation. It was difficult for him to detect more details in terms of mental and material interference, so he had to take this into consideration.
Unfortunately, Luo Nan didn't have the physical Deep Sea Type IV Dynamo Core with him. He was unable to conduct field tests, so he could only use his memories from two months ago as a comparison. But two months ago, his insight and knowledge couldn't be compared to now, so there was still a lot of blank space to fill in.
Also, of Luo Nan could not keep the Luo Luo.
Luo Nan opened his eyes. He held the plastic bag between his index and middle fingers, holding the Dynamo Core before his eyes. Under the illumination of the iron cover, a mysterious luster flowed on the regular rhombohedron, attracting his soul.
Machine. under in. by. under under. under. under the metal. and the regular, the that. under. as under...
The ceremony was very simple. There was nothing mysterious about it. As the protagonists, Xie Junping and Du Yong submitted their "homework" under the witness of the nannies, children, and some religious residents in the orphanage. Then, they were verified by Dean Vanta, the mentor of the order, and they were granted the identity of "Abstinence Bearers" in the order.
President Wan Ta, on the other hand, announced the end of the ceremony after briefly explaining the concepts of "material nature" and "order".
Luo Nan even felt that Dean Wan Ta wanted to use this opportunity to let the children of the orphanage enjoy a delicious meal prepared by a certain hedonist of Xia City.
As for Xie Junping and Du Yong, they were quite satisfied. They had experienced enough of the most powerful mysterious elements in the test before they officially joined the church, and they had also achieved tangible results.
Mysterious + effective = devout.
This formula was applicable in the vast majority of circumstances. More importantly, it was fine as long as everyone was happy.
The ceremony and banquet were very casual. Luo Nan had more private time. He felt that there were too many children at the banquet in the main hall. It was quite noisy, so he walked around the other rooms of the orphanage.
Luo Nan had always admired Dean Wan Ta's skillful hands and design philosophy. The orphanage, which had been converted from an abandoned shopping mall, truly had a style to it. It had a sense of artistic order. The place he was in right now was the reception room he had stayed in last time. He reclined on an old peach-colored sofa. The clamor outside had dropped to a relatively comfortable level, bringing a marvelous sense of tranquility.
So Luo Nan spent half an hour here to apply for computing space and to compare and ponder. There was no one to disturb him. It was very comfortable.
However, this feeling of comfort inevitably subsided when he faced the Dynamo Core.
He would have to return this little thing to Gym Master Xiu by tomorrow at the latest. Even though he had already left behind a complete blueprint, it would be too easy to think of the Dynamo Core as a toy to obtain results through a simple comparison of the blueprint.
Luo Nan sighed in his mind. He rubbed his fingers and opened the bag. There were no other movements after that. The Dynamo Core in the bag floated up by itself. It passed through the opening of the bag and floated to a more spacious area outside.
"Buzz!"
A deep vibrating sound entered Luo Nan's ears. The Dynamo Core floating in the air first extended out six tentacles. Then the tentacles branched off one by one, forming thirty secondary branches. And on a level that was hard to discern with the naked eye, there were 1240 even finer filaments. They constructed a complex and dense network that was distributed within an area of a meter in diameter.
Luo Nan's thoughts turned once more. His soul strength and the material plane interfered with each other, forming nearly incorporeal waves that swept through the area. The changes in its structure were absorbed into his heart lake.
It was just as the mechanical schematic showed. The complex structure was undergoing changes all the time. There was practically no good way to confirm its functions one by one, aside from a supercomputer.
Fortunately, Luo Nan never hoped that he could decipher the ultimate mysteries of the Dynamo Core in a short amount of time. Otherwise, he would be looking down on the research capabilities of the entire Earth's academic community. He just used this to dispel the last bit of his unrealistic fantasies. Then he concentrated his energy to search for a certain sign.
A defective product.
"Just like us right now …... A defective product."
"Us right now."
Luo Nan cared a lot about Gym Master Xiu's words because it involved his parents and loved ones, and because of the context and wording.
From Luo Nan's perspective, Gym Master Xiu's words didn't clearly point out anything, and he didn't clearly link them together. However, the meaning was consistent.
The main thrust of their discussion was the outline of human cultivation, and then they focused on the concept of the furnace.
Gym Master Xiu's words and his own situation pointed out without a doubt that the current world had yet to obtain a reasonable and complete result regarding the construction method of the furnace. This included the Extraordinaries who stood at the apex.
Following this logic, Gym Master Xiu mentioned the Dynamo Core, calling it a defective product. More importantly, there was the word 'us' in his words.
In light of this, Luo Nan could only believe that Gym Master Xiu had made an analogy between the Dynamo Core and the ability users of the current world. At the very least, they were cultivators who touched upon the concept of the furnace.
The Dynamo Core was a defective product. Ability users were also defective products.
The defective products of ability users were due to the incomplete construction of the furnace. Then was the defect of the corresponding Dynamo Core also due to the defect in the structure of the furnace?
Also, the defect was relative to the completeness.
Where was the complete reference?
Luo Nan observed the structure of the Dynamo Core from many angles, but how could he see through the mysteries within such a short time?
As he was observing carefully, he sensed someone coming from outside. He was just about to put away the Dynamo Core, but a thought flashed through his mind, and he didn't take the next step.
A rhythmic knock sounded on the door, and Luo Nan said, "Please come in."
The door to the reception room opened, and Dean Wan Ta, who wore a priest-like robe, walked in with slow steps. After entering the room, his gaze naturally fell on the structure of the Dynamo Core floating in the air.
"Dean Wan, you've worked hard."
"It's nothing. The children were just a bit noisy. They didn't disturb you, right?"
"No. This really is a good place to find tranquility amidst the noise. It's quite suitable to think about problems. Nurse Wang even poured me some water."
The two exchanged a few words of greeting, and Luo Nan gestured with his hand, inviting Wan Ta to sit wherever he wanted. Wan Ta sat on a recliner of the same color across from the sofa, his body naturally straight. One of them was so polite that it didn't seem like he was in his own territory, while the other was as casual and natural as if he was at home. It was a bit like the host and the guest had been reversed.
However, both sides weren't people who paid much attention to superfluous formalities. They did things according to their hearts, and they displayed considerable respect.
Wan Ta respected Luo Nan's privacy, and Luo Nan didn't keep it to himself. Instead, he completely presented the structure of the Dynamo Core in front of Wan Ta.
This kind of magnanimity continued from the first time the two met. This was because they knew that the other belonged to the Lawful Faction, and the scope of maintaining order was different. Even if they weren't completely like-minded, there was no direct conflict of ideals.
More importantly, they both hoped to carry forward their own ideals, to let more people recognize them, and to use them in a broader domain. Therefore, they could accept each other's teachings, and they could compare notes with each other.
Luo Nan preserved the structure of the Dynamo Core because he wanted Wan Ta to give him some advice.
"What's this?"
"It's a headache. I hope Dean Wan can give me some advice."
"Okay, let me take a look."
Wan Ta didn't put on a false front. He didn't waste words after taking a seat. Matter waves radiated from his body, covering the region where the structure of the Dynamo Core was located.
Luo Nan believed that Wan Ta needed to observe for a period of time, but he clearly didn't understand the habitual thinking patterns of this instructor of the Order of Creators.
