There's something wrong with me

Chapter 206 Compression and 'Interstellar Weapons'

"Our base is so beautiful..."

"Is this the spiritual vision of a cultivator?"

"This isn't a spiritual vision; it's because Mr. Zhang used runes in his spell that we can see it. According to the records of cultivation methods, it's invisible to the naked eye..."

Everyone was amazed by the beautiful scenery before them.

Or perhaps it's just that it's too beautiful, too breathtaking.

Then, a researcher had forgotten some basic knowledge about Reiki.

But none of this matters, because this is not part of cultivation data.

They are professionals who specialize in researching cultivation systems. They do not need to delve into or even learn about other common knowledge related to rune technology at present.

After all, human energy is limited.

But at the moment.

Whether they were amazed by the beautiful scenery or by the runes, they would later look with even greater astonishment at the data on the screen and at Mr. Zhang standing at the door.

They witnessed the presence of only ten talismans, and the data itself doesn't lie.

But in a mere 3.7 seconds, Mr. Zhang transformed those ten talismans into 'two thousand!'

Furthermore, it involves complex drawing of five different categories.

How is this done?
Theoretically speaking, it's normal for Mr. Zhang to gather twenty or thirty streams within three or four seconds.

Zhang Feng had tested the drawing speed in reality a month ago, and they all had relevant data to optimize it for Mr. Zhang.

So they all understand.

But now, they don't understand.

"This is one way to use the Golden Elixir."

Zhang Feng looked at the shocked crowd and answered their questions.
"To be precise, this method is a high-dimensional multi-level replication expansion of a low-dimensional one."

At present, this is the only way I can demonstrate the effects of the high-dimensional golden elixir.

As for actually taking the Golden Elixir out of the body and displaying it outside, I can do that in the virtual world.

Afterwards, you can use today's replication feature to try to reverse-engineer and improve some of the Golden Core talisman rules.

At this point, Zhang Feng also gave them a general explanation of why higher dimensions could unfold in so many ways.

Although they, as researchers, must understand these things, the principles of the Golden Elixir and the unfolding of techniques still need to be repeated.

It was basically all the ideas I had previously had in the Golden Core world.

This lecture will last for several hours, aiming to ensure that everyone understands the underlying concepts. Then, in conjunction with the scenes recorded today, it will be explained to officials, martial arts schools, martial arts departments, and other organizations worldwide.

This kind of transmission, from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and from a hundred to the whole world, is actually a form of 'rapid replication'.

The concepts and high-dimensional replication are largely the same; they are all aimed at achieving results quickly.

We'll wait until they've learned it.

Zhang Feng then instructed them to go and spread the teachings.

……

A moment later, he returned to his office.

Zhang Feng is considering how to achieve 'external elixir' within the virtual world.

Because it's linked to itself, it definitely can't be taken outside the system, otherwise it would cause the architecture to crash.

Then there is only one way left: to implement data-driven expression and insightful analysis.

The thought of having one's body exposed, in such an 'explicit' way, is somewhat awkward.

However, in order to achieve rapid communication and get everyone working, sacrificing oneself for the rules is imperative.

Since it's not like my real body is being seen 'naked', it doesn't really matter.

Furthermore, I used to go to the testing lab to take full-body photos and assess my own physical functions whenever I had free time.

In essence, he was 'seen naked' by everyone.

I'm thinking about things in a free-flowing way.

滴—

A notification sounded from the table; Old Liu was outside the door.

Whoosh, the door opens.

After Old Liu walked in, he touched the little green hill that greeted him and said to Zhang Feng with a hint of helplessness:

"Mr. Zhang! Such a big event as the 4D expansion, why didn't you let me, Old Liu, witness it?"

"I saw your message," Zhang Feng said with a smile. "You were busy with important optimization matters at the drug center this morning and couldn't get away."

Furthermore, the sooner the Golden Core is revealed, the better, so that everyone has a general idea of ​​what's going on.

As Zhang Feng spoke, he glanced at a pile of sand in the corner and, in a flash, created a small, exquisite house, about the size of a palm, which he then handed to Old Liu from a distance.

"I'll give you an apartment. We've known each other for decades, so don't be angry."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang, for the room!" Old Liu naturally knew the importance and urgency of the matter.

Even though his visit this time seemed like a casual joke between friends, he actually had serious business to discuss.

"Mr. Zhang, we have compiled the theoretical data for our first weapon."

Old Liu took out a report, "It's just that orbital weapons are energy weapons and cannot be attempted to be built in reality, so as to avoid related disasters caused by energy imbalance."

Therefore, the theoretical team and related units wanted to allocate a separate virtual world for building tests and experimenting with the stability and destructive power of the first weapon.

“Okay.” Zhang Feng nodded. “We’ll call up the latest virtual machine, number 10, within the base. It has the largest computational load.”

Furthermore, virtual buildings 11 and 12, along with ten superconducting buildings, were used as parallel computing power to simulate the entirety of Earth's Z1 superconducting grid and the Moon.

Also, after you've finished building the first weapon in the virtual world, call me and I'll come take a look.

"Yes!" Old Liu replied, then happily took the small house and left.

Zhang Feng was also pleased when he recalled that just a minute earlier, Lao Liu had mixed in casual remarks about "why I wasn't allowed to witness the four dimensions" amidst his serious business.

Zhang Feng prefers casual chats with friends rather than immediately jumping into work-related conversations.

If decades of friendship are just about work, then what's the point of talking about friendship?

Furthermore, if there is only coldness between superiors and subordinates, problems are bound to arise.

It's like if he were to make a wrong decision, Lao Liu would definitely find it hard to talk about it when he thought of his 'cold-blooded superior, General Manager Zhang'.

It's very possible that if he hesitates for a while before speaking, or if he lets his plans run for a while before making any further statements, he will have lost a lot of global resources that could have been avoided.

Ultimately, whatever I do, I usually succeed in the end.

Under such a '100% halo', many people find it difficult to distinguish whether their plans are right or wrong, and they rarely offer any suggestions.

Among the few suggestions, there are those related to the earliest neurological research and the optimization of spirit stones.

At that time, Zhang Feng had no spiritual awareness, no rune technology, and no plan; he was just stumbling around randomly.

Old Liu also suggested 'terminating' the agreement.

In the end, a lot of resources were saved, which finally enabled the mass production of superconducting materials today.

Otherwise, if a lot of resources had been invested at that time, the federal economy would be gone now, and superconductivity would not have developed so rapidly.

Including in managing relationships, Lao Liu also kept a very proper perspective, always knowing his role as Zhang's assistant and the second-in-command of the base.

When faced with major events, such as the construction of the first weapon, Lao Liu would ask without even thinking.

……

after one day.

Zhang Feng was in his bedroom reviewing information about the construction of the first weapon.

Because it belongs to the category of 'superconducting spiritual energy and energy weapons', there are still some aspects that can be borrowed from it.

For example, by utilizing superconducting properties and controlled nuclear fusion technology, spiritual energy can be further 'compressed' and 'condensed'.

This technique, when applied to individuals with adequate physical fitness, can also compress the spells they unleash, thereby increasing their combat power to some extent.

The prerequisite is that one's physical strength can reach the level of superconductivity; otherwise, it is difficult to control them.

This compression can only be considered destructive and cannot be used for the optimization and purification of spirit stones.

The formulas inside are more about the energy reaction theory of nuclear fusion, which is a kind of extremely destructive force, a kind of high-yield annihilation release.

After all, the name of this primary weapon is 'Interstellar Orbital Cannon,' which belongs to the planetary level of interstellar strikes.

Above the world-class level, there is now a new level: planetary level.

City, province, dynasty, world, planet.

Superconductivity and Z1, etc., are still extraordinary, so let's not draw any conclusions for now.

Since superconductivity still plays an absolute role at the planetary level, it proves that their level is not limited to the planetary level.

At least in the current understanding of federal science, they cannot be definitively defined.

……

A few days later, amidst the anticipation of a group of researchers, Zhang Feng entered the virtual world and manifested the Four-Dimensional Golden Elixir.

Of course, the process was a bit bumpy.

Because it requires constant coordination with personnel in the off-site control room to continuously modify virtual parameters in order to realize the concrete information of the Golden Elixir.

This construction process was far more complicated and difficult than the first virtual experiment.

It took a full two weeks to achieve basic stability.

Then Zhang Feng was freed, and could leave behind a virtual image of his own flesh and blood as the basis for calculating the four dimensions of reality.

This research topic is also known as 'High-Dimensional Research'.

Various countries and super-organizations with virtual domes can participate in the research online from their respective locations.

Under the influence of superconducting signal transmission, and with the coverage of virtual small building base stations, plus the research and development of superconducting spiritual energy transmission.

This ensures seamless and unimpeded virtual communication for important official research institutions worldwide.

Even if there are occasional stutters or distortions, they are within an acceptable range.

As long as these researchers can see 4D, we can tolerate even if there are stutters at every step.

However, many scientists have left their official organizations, eager to come to data centers with smooth network connections.

During this period, following the earliest developments in superconductivity and pharmaceuticals, the number of cultivators and highly skilled individuals in biological and genetic fields within the imperial court continued to decline.

This time, the talent left.

Local officials are also unsure whether it's Mr. Zhang deliberately creating obstacles to attract their talent.

It's just too laggy; current technology can't handle it.

But in fact, it's really too laggy.

Virtual technology cannot yet achieve global online communication; even if it is only integrated with major research centers, it cannot achieve perfect connectivity.

Data centers are also facing a headache regarding this issue.

Because so many talented people came, the base's housing was insufficient.

We still need to expand the logistics support further.

If talented people come, then their families must also be settled in the extraordinary land.

These are all major expenses, and they'll be factored into the data center's budget.

In particular, since the federal government is a fair platform, if these people run away, the data center will have to pay a large amount of liquidated damages to the relevant parties.

After the losses were paid off, Old Liu waved his hand and, citing insufficient research funds, asked for the money back again.

Anyway, the necessary procedures must be followed; this is a written rule, and compensation is definitely required.

Even if the research funds are later retrieved through a "borrowing" arrangement, it will be done in black and white, fairly and justly, and all financial information will be open and transparent within the Federal Council.

Of course, some members of parliament also secretly complained and expressed their dissatisfaction.

But the fourth dimension is right before our eyes, and it exists.

In the process of discovering higher dimensions, humanity as a whole remains united and strives for progress amidst the turbulent currents.

Besides, let me tell you the truth.

They already knew that Representative Zhang had deviated from the normal scope of 'three-dimensional humans', and that they and others were on the same planet as Representative Zhang.

Even if Councilor Zhang ignores them, there will still be a group of people who will stand up for him.

The land area covered by superconducting Z1 is the area of ​​resources, and there is no upper limit to the resources.

Everyone is watching closely, waiting to see who wants to rebel against the Federation.

……

A few days later.

As talent from all over the world continues to flock to the data center and, after passing the review process, become members of the base.

The research on the stability of the Golden Elixir has also made some progress.

The engineering team also began working day and night to extend the base underground in all directions.

But while digging, they unearthed something interesting.

It consists of hundreds of 'naturally formed' ultra-low-grade spirit stones, with a spiritual energy content of only 0.2.

People in the data center also know that there is a 'spirit stone mine' below, because the spiritual energy in the data center is too rich.

In the natural process of sinking and dispersing, it inevitably encounters soil materials similar to pebbles, thus forming spiritual stones.

Furthermore, drawn by these natural spiritual stones, the spiritual energy that has drifted underground will also converge here.

However, the expansion in the past few days has inadvertently destroyed the old nest of the 'world's number one spirit stone mine'.

Then, the person in charge of the project team, as if he had made a mistake, reported the matter.

Because the project manager is also a junior leader in the data center, and has considerable authority.

So, after making some inquiries, he learned that many researchers had formed a tacit understanding, like cultivating flowers and trees, and were working together to nurture this spirit stone mine.

But now, they've pulled up someone else's flowers.

Fortunately, everyone was a colleague and knew that the expansion was inevitable.

He was certainly not angry about this, but he instructed the engineering team to bury the 'spirit stone from the first mine' even deeper, without violating any principles.

Researchers also need to take appropriate breaks during the long research process.

For example, raising spirit stones is a relaxing little hobby.

Zhang Feng also strongly encouraged them to find things they enjoyed doing.

With Zhang Feng's physical constitution having grown explosively to [1K], and his spiritual sense spanning ten miles, he naturally discovered this spirit stone long ago.

Zhang Feng himself was also raising it, to see how much it would grow amidst the dissipation of spiritual energy in the base.

Of course, you can't talk about raising them yourself, or you'll scare the project manager.

……

In the blink of an eye, six months have passed since my return.

That morning.

Zhang Feng woke up naturally as usual and opened the briefing.

After returning, without the pressure of inner demons, everything became easy.

Zhang Feng usually just reads the briefings and then begins to digest the accumulated knowledge of reality and the world of superconductivity, laying a more perfect foundation for himself.

But I only noticed it today.

Old Liu left a message 20 minutes ago.

(Reporting to General Zhang, the first weapon has been completed and is currently being tested. Members of parliament from various dynasties and relevant scientific researchers have gathered in the virtual world of number 10.)

'Is it finished?'

Zhang Feng had initially thought it would take at least ten days, because Lao Liu had left a message last night saying that "a component is structurally unstable and is being urgently processed."

Processing such an unstable structure would generally not be possible so quickly.

Because it involves many fundamental and materials science-related ideas and manufacturing issues.

But now it looks like a 'minor breakthrough'.

Or perhaps, out of a hundred possible combinations, they simply chose the most correct one.

This is the deductive method, or scientific 'luck'.

The issue of slow manufacturing was intentional on the part of the researchers.

Because testing the construction process of the first weapon would definitely require manual labor.

Otherwise, you can create something with a wave of your hand in the virtual world, but you'll be completely clueless about how to build it and what problems you might encounter during the actual construction process.

After all, in reality, you can't just wave your hand and have it.

Practical training for craft workers is of paramount importance.

……

Arriving in the virtual world.

Zhang Feng was outside the data center on the virtual Earth, surrounded by a dense crowd of people in the distance.

"boss Zhang!"

"Councilor Zhang!"

"God!"

Zhang Feng's appearance was met with various titles and a welcoming crowd.

There are nearly 10,000 people here, including almost all the important figures in the Federation, as well as relevant researchers and some invited research experts.

But regardless of who it is, they must sign the federal highest level of secrecy regulations.

Because this weapon is a 'star-class' box.

at the same time.

Zhang Feng looked at the welcoming crowd, nodded slightly in greeting, and then looked at the 'super cube' in the center of the arena.

It is shaped like a vertical cannon, but the muzzle diameter is 20 meters and the height is 400 meters.

It can also be interpreted as the cannon barrel being 400 meters long.

At first glance, it is filled with spirit-gathering runes, forming a new type of magic array that is different from the virtual building.

Zhang Feng called it an "offensive magic array," a new array that the Virtual Building and the Quantum Building had calculated over nearly five years based on the Virtual Spiritual Array.

Zhang Feng is currently studying this magic array, which is the 'compression array' he initially conceived of.

If you study it thoroughly and adapt it for your own use, you can significantly improve and transform your combat capabilities.

And at this moment.

On the surface, it appears to be only 400 meters long, but underground there is a 'base' with a radius of 15 kilometers.

Its network of cables connects the entire main power grid to several virtual computing buildings.

This terrifying, colossal structure is the first weapon, and also humanity's first interstellar weapon.

After Zhang Feng finished his observation, he looked at the crowd that had been eagerly waiting for him.

I have only two purposes for coming here today.

First, witness the virtual birth of the first weapon; second, press the launch button and aim at the moon in space, which is at the same distance as in reality.

With the operation of three virtual buildings and nearly twenty superconducting buildings in reality, the space data in the virtual world is the same as that in reality.

It can be used for perfect experiments.

Furthermore, on the moon, Lao Liu and his team set up some zombie-like aliens, and they also had demonized spaceships.

The hull strength of these warships is sufficient to perfectly withstand attacks from normal targets.

The virtual Earth perfectly replicated various terrains and the widespread presence of superconducting Z1, but apart from the tens of thousands of people present, there were no other living beings.

Because the required computing power is too great.

"boss Zhang……"

At this moment, everyone was looking at Zhang Feng and the virtual 'master button' in the air in front of him.

Nearly a hundred operators were at an open-air control station not far away.

This control console should have been underground, but for testing purposes and to allow more people to see the operational data, the instruments and data screens were built on the ground.

And faced with the excited gazes of the crowd.

Zhang Feng also pressed the main switch.

"nineteen……"

The launch commander's countdown could be heard in the distance.

"Two...one!"

And as the final words fell, the first weapon was activated.

At that moment, seeing the giant cannon tilting towards the moon was truly something everyone was eagerly anticipating.

There were also screens displaying scenes from the moon, switching back and forth from different angles to allow everyone to observe the effects of the attack.

We strive to achieve both visual appeal and data integration.

"Report……"

However, at the same time, several controllers discovered that there was a problem with the parameters, and the energy runes seemed unstable.

Buzz —

The first weapon also vibrated slightly, and visible spiritual energy, electric current, and a wide range of elemental radiation leaked out from the center of the muzzle.

Zhang Feng also saw it, and without waiting for them to speak, he used the virtual rules to take everyone to outer space in one step, and modified the virtual data to create an oxygen space in space.

About three seconds later, without a sound.

The crowd saw that the location of the data center on Earth was producing an incandescent light that was visible even from space.

The light then emitted bursts of fire and lightning, spreading outwards at an extremely slow pace, like a ring of fire.

However, from the perspective of space, it is very slow, but on Earth, it would cover several cities in one second.

At the same frequency as Z1 superconductivity, for a civilization relying on Z1, the disaster following the loss of control of orbital weapons would be completely uncontrollable.

While everyone was still in a daze,

In less than thirty seconds, the entire Earth was covered by a ring of fire.

The planet also transformed from a basketball into a bright fireball filled with a large number of dark clouds.

Zhang Feng gazed at the planet that had been thoroughly cultivated, then looked at the stunned crowd.

"Very good, the power is indeed great, our house was gone in an instant."
