Steel torrents pioneering a different world.

Chapter 374 Comprehensive Enhancement! Upgraded Cooperation (Bonus Chapter)

Two flowers bloom, each telling its own story!

After the wealthy and powerful Lin Li became the scientific and engineering savior of the pioneering team, scientific bottlenecks that originally required a lot of time to solve were instantly overcome, and some projects could be accelerated in all aspects immediately.

Science is a mysterious thing; sometimes, certain ideas and various action instructions can quickly pave the way.

For example, the mass production technology of graphene, which had puzzled humanity for many years, was solved by a materials scientist who used office tape to bond graphene together, a problem that had taken countless scientists a lot of brainpower to solve.

A recent classic example is likely a new solution to a chemical engineering problem that paves the way to becoming an academician.

A research team led by Zhang Xiaheng, a researcher at the School of Chemistry and Materials Science of a certain Chinese Academy of Sciences Hangzhou Institute for Advanced Study, and their collaborators have made groundbreaking progress in industrial processes that have been in place for 140 years. They developed a novel method for the direct deamination and functionalization of aromatic amines using N-nitrosamines. The N-nitrosamine intermediate is transiently formed in the reaction system and immediately transforms into the product, all without the need for the transition metal copper.

This new simplified method directly and significantly adjusts the traditional production process. This method combines simplicity, environmental protection, economy and universality, showing a super broad application prospect.

The technical information provided by Lin Li was carefully selected by the all-knowing Laplace Fairy, provided that the spacetime source quality was in place.

When these solutions, algorithms, and solutions to engineering problems were replicated and distributed to research teams in various worlds, countless teams were overjoyed.

The atmosphere within the team responsible for the engineering production of warrior medicines became extremely enthusiastic due to the latest information provided by Lin Li.

Professor Zhong Zhenguo stared intently at the screen, his fingertips tracing lines of data with a slight movement, yet carrying immense force.

Those activity curves of biological enzymes under specific pressures, the stable cycle of temporary gene chain chimerism, and those more than sixty process details of catalysis, settling, and cooling that they had never heard of before —

Each one was like a silent slap in the face to the entire team.

"Old Deng, thankfully that friend provided us with the technology relatively early, otherwise we—we almost became criminals."

When Zhong Zhenguo spoke, his voice was terribly hoarse. He took off his glasses and rubbed his temples hard, as if trying to squeeze the lingering fear out of his mind.

Deng Dakang, recalling the scene he had witnessed, also let out a long sigh of relief.

The warrior potion recipe on the screen, named the "Standard Version" by the mysterious man, contrasted with the "Human Optimized Version" that their team had spent countless sleepless nights replicating, giving rise to a complex and absurd feeling.

They had achieved considerable success, even celebrating with champagne halfway through, which was hailed as a great leap forward for humanity in the field of biotechnology.

Looking back now, what kind of leap was that?

That's standing on the edge of a cliff, blindfolded, and rushing forward.

Following their optimized process, the products produced may indeed stimulate human potential on the surface, but what is the cost?

This will subsequently cause irreversible cell depletion and permanent damage to the nervous system.

The strength the soldiers gained from this drug was nothing more than mortgaging their lives for many years to come, ultimately withering away in agony.

That's not medicine; it's a deadly poison coated in sugar.

"A declining civilization that tinkers and builds in caves, I never imagined they possessed such advanced technology in gene-based drug engineering and encryption—" Deng Dakang muttered to himself, his tone more one of awe than admiration. "Old Zhong, we too have our arrogance and contempt. We must learn from this!"

"Yes, arrogance is the original sin!" Zhong Zhenguo punched his thigh, his face turning red. "We have the most advanced equipment, but what we produce, compared to others, is like a crude blast furnace steelmaking versus controlled nuclear fusion! No, it's not even a crude blast furnace; we're refining elixirs, refining deadly elixirs!"

This self-deprecating remark eased the tense atmosphere in the laboratory slightly, but left a bitter taste in the mouth.

"Let's not talk about that anymore." Zhong Zhenguo put his glasses back on, but his eyes had changed. The shock and fear from before were gone, replaced by the fanaticism of a tech enthusiast. "This information is like giving us a direct path to the top!"

A path trap? We must hurry and tackle it!

Deng Dakang nodded emphatically and looked at Zhong Zhenguo: "The front lines can't wait much longer, Lao Zhong, the pressure is all on you."

"Pressure? Now this is motivation!" Zhong Zhenguo slammed his fist on the table, his whole body buzzing with excitement. "All the technical difficulties are gone! The only remaining issues are engineering and raw materials! As long as the biological raw materials can keep up, let alone 5,000 units a month, give me enough production lines and raw materials, and I can push production to the heavens! Then, every one of our soldiers will have one, chasing after those otherworldly monsters!"

"Alright! I'll go and sign a pledge to Commander Man right now!" Deng Dakang's eyes lit up. "One month! We'll have our main force completely upgraded with new weapons!"

Another world, a time portal base, a new metal materials research center.

"Snapped!"

A sharp crack rang out, particularly jarring in the silent laboratory.

Professor Peng, who was in charge of metal element research, slapped himself hard across the face, so hard that his glasses were knocked askew.

He didn't help him up; his bloodshot eyes were fixed on the technical document in his hand, his lips trembling, and he managed to utter a single word after a long while.

"Hold!"

"Why didn't I think of changing the process?! I'm such a pig-brain! Why did I stubbornly stick to powder metallurgy and electrostatic precipitation?! The fundamental problem should have been solved in the very first smelting and refining steps! Damn it—ahhhhhh—"

Professor Peng pounded his forehead, feeling as if a million alpacas were galloping and roaring in his heart.

That extreme frustration and depression almost made his chest burst.

But a few seconds later, this emotion was replaced by an even more intense ecstasy.

He understood.

The information about the alloy steel for electromagnetic rifles provided by the mysterious person was like a gateway to a new world.

It cleverly integrates some medium- and high-temperature superconducting alloy material technologies, and introduces a brand-new catalysis and refining scheme in the initial melting stage.

Although this process also requires some rare earth elements and corresponding superconducting materials, the cost is not low.

However—it allows the final barrel material to achieve unprecedented stability during electromagnetic excitation.

With the subsequent improvement of powder metallurgy and coating technology, the terrifying ablation problem inside the gun barrel during high-speed bullet firing was perfectly solved.

"Professor Peng, what's wrong?" A young researcher was startled and asked cautiously.

Not far away, some security personnel who had noticed something amiss approached.

After Professor Deng Dakang ran into trouble, many things required the collaboration of multiple people. If someone conducted illegal experiments, especially dangerous ones, they might be forcibly taken into custody.

Although this security is stringent, it prevents scientists from engaging in dangerous and abstract operations.

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I was just too excited to see this! This is very mature technology!" Professor Peng grabbed the shoulder of the researcher next to him, his strength making the young man grimace.

"Come here, look! Look at this approach! It doesn't just solve the problem of electromagnetic rifles; it's a compatible technology that can be used for electromagnetic guns, anti-aircraft guns, machine guns, and even rail catapults and electric grid transportation!"

"This—this is a super technology that can change the nature of warfare, no, it can change our world!"

Materials science is often a kind of illogical and mysterious science.

A simple recipe and an inconspicuous process can halt a country's development for decades.

Take gun steel for example, there are only a handful of companies on Earth that can truly master it.

The Indians, who consider themselves a world superpower, once secretly purchased special steel used by industrially strong nations to make gun steel. Later, when the gun exploded during a test firing, they brazenly shifted the blame back to the Indians.

A steel company representative said, "When you bought the shares, didn't you say you wanted civilian-grade steel? Are you out of your mind using civilian steel as a howitzer?"

Technology, especially materials science, can be very difficult, but it can also be very simple.

A small technical difficulty can stall a massive industrial system for years, or even centuries.

And now, what Lin Li has provided is far more than just a breakthrough in materials science.

Professor Peng suddenly thought of something, and with trembling hands, he opened the permission instructions for several other encrypted folders in the internal database.

Nuclear Fusion Technology — N — Mathematical Theorems and Mathematical Models —

His breathing suddenly became heavy.

N—a mathematical problem, the holy grail of fluid mechanics!

Once this is solved, even the most realistic wave, fire, smoke, and hair effects in movies and games can be made incredibly lifelike!

On a large scale, the virtual wind tunnel design of aircraft, the flood control infrastructure of cities, and the precise control of plasma states can all achieve a qualitative leap.

Even more impressive are its medical applications, such as cyborg prosthetics, which are one of the key technologies that have evolved from rigid mechanical movements to simulated neural control!

Professor Peng's mind was buzzing.

This time, the mysterious person wasn't just adding bricks to the industrial system; instead, they were directly laying the foundation and framework for many scientific and technological advancements.

Load-bearing walls, along with numerous industrial ramps, were all crammed in at once.

This is practically like stuffing a whole Manchu Han Imperial Feast into your mouth!

I'm almost stuffed!!!

"Xiao Liu!" Professor Peng roared, his eyes gleaming. "Get the word out of here! Everyone on leave, return to the team immediately! The project team needs to hold a full meeting! Damn it, nobody's getting any sleep! If you don't want to lose this national-level science and technology award, if you don't want to miss out on future evaluation opportunities, get back to work right now!!!!"

With the help of technical data, the Science Department made rapid progress, and the combat soldiers of the pioneering team, especially those who were to participate in frontline combat, were once again gathered together.

Previously, the humans did not obtain many warrior potions. Even after purchasing hundreds more warrior enhancement potions from the dwarves, it was only enough to enhance the eight hundred pioneer team warriors.

However, with the help provided by Lin Li this time, and after confirming that there were no hidden dangers in Lin Li's things, the pioneering team immediately strengthened the soldiers who were going to fight on the front line again.

Warriors who have used warrior enhancement potions have a significantly higher combat power than ordinary warriors.

Despite the fact that the panel data for the two is only twice as different, when ordinary soldiers and enhanced soldiers undergo the same training, the exchange ratio in simulated combat reaches five to one!

If all soldiers had undergone the corresponding physical enhancements and were equipped with power armor that had been upgraded multiple times, the previous casualties would definitely not have been so high.

After the 200 soldiers used the warrior potion, they immediately began various training programs, which quickly transformed them into fully-fledged warriors!

Meanwhile, the special forces who had previously used the warrior enhancement serum began to assemble, ready to respond to the mysterious man's call at any time.

The human pioneering team was too passive in dealing with those elusive enemies. Now, with the mysterious support of their friends, everyone is sharpening their knives and eager to try and kill those damned bastards!

Twelve hours later.

The palm-sized special communication device that Lin Li gave to Su Mingjin suddenly started flashing without warning.

Following the tutorial instructions, Su Mingjin stroked the patterns on it, and then a rough sound mixed with electrical noise burst out from it.

"Human friends! The commander has instructed us to inform you that the war has begun! Coordinates will be shared via your data terminals shortly. Remember to come and deal with the invaders!"

Before Su Mingjin could react, the communication was unilaterally cut off, and the red light on the device went out, returning to silence.

"Beep—Beep—"

Su Mingjin gripped the cold metal device, her brows furrowed.

Almost simultaneously, alarms blared throughout the command center.

"Report! We've received our previous terminal signal! It's our device! Coordinates are in Zone 15, near the 17th branch of the Lenghe River! This area is adjacent to the defense zone of the Tu Ying Brigade!"

A communications soldier's voice stood out clearly in the noisy hall.

Su Mingjin strode into the hall and saw that Commander Man was already standing in front of the main screen, his eyes fixed on the marked area.

After seeing Su Mingjin nod at him and authorize the combat order, Brigade Commander Man licked his slightly chapped lips, his eyes filled with barely suppressed fighting spirit.

He practically spat out the order through gritted teeth: "I order! Tu Ying Special Forces, drone swarms, and rocket artillery strategic support brigade, move at full speed to the target area! Frontline airborne troops and robotic combat units, enter Level 1 combat readiness!"

"yes!"

The order was quickly relayed, and the entire base, like a sophisticated war machine, instantly sprang into action at high speed.

Five minutes later, dozens of kilometers away.

The dwarfs that Lin Li had transformed into, as well as the fully armed dwarf projections created using spacetime source matter, all felt the slight tremors coming from the ground.

Looking up, you can see a dozen or so armed helicopters on the horizon, forming a sharp attack formation that is almost touching the treetops, and roaring in.

After being upgraded and strengthened, the Laplace's Demon not only provides intelligence support and repairs some things, but also provides Lin Li with appropriate cover.

These seemingly decent dwarf soldiers were all made by Lin Li in imitation of dwarf civilization.

They are well-equipped and have extremely high combat effectiveness.

The only drawback is that it's a one-time use item. To summon it again, a large amount of spacetime essence is required!

Upon seeing this, he no longer hesitated, took out the signal beacon and a signal flare given to him by the dwarf from his backpack, and threw them forcefully to the ground.

"laugh-

'

A blinding crimson plume of smoke shot into the sky, standing out like the most conspicuous landmark on the battlefield against the hazy backdrop.

He then had Laplace's demon lead the humans, while he led the group into the underground cave.

Command Center, behind the Human Spacetime Portal.

"Flag location detected! In a pile of rocks by the river. Drone optical reconnaissance has not detected any surface targets! Ground penetrating radar is searching—"

Commander Man pointed to the 3D terrain map on the screen, which was covered with blurry interference signals. "Look here, the rock structure is extremely complex, and the ground-penetrating radar can't penetrate it at all. There are probably a lot of metallic elements inside, most likely the work of the dwarves."

"This place is quite deep in the heart of the elven realm!"

"This is probably a dwelling they secretly built during the war between the two races! It's definitely an abandoned underground base once used by the dwarves!"

A young strategist nearby couldn't help but mutter, "The abandoned dwarven base is seriously interfering with our exploration—"

"Why don't we have the dwarves make a list of bases, so we don't have to play a guessing game all over the world?"

"The underground base is a testament to the dwarves' survival wisdom; they'll definitely reveal all their secrets to the survival of their civilization to us!"

"Report! Signal source locked! We've also spotted dwarves!"

The drone operator's voice came through.

The image on the main screen zoomed in rapidly, revealing several stocky, fully armed dwarves waving frantically at the drone in the sky.

Behind them was a dark hole blasted out by a powerful artillery shell.

Besides this, there was also an explosion shockwave on the ground —

There seemed to be a fierce battle taking place inside.

"The energy spectrum analysis is in! There was a violent explosion underground, along with a surge of violent energy particles, which perfectly matches the energy characteristics of the dark creatures in our database! The battle was quite large!"

"Excellent!" Brigade Commander Man slammed his hand on the command platform. "Order! The First and Third Robot Combat Companies will parachute in! Special forces, prepare to seal off the surrounding area!"

"Also, tell our dwarf friends that human reinforcements have arrived!"
