In another world, the advance team's overall planning and logistics management command center.

Su Mingjin put down the encouraging document that Li Weiguo had sent her, and her fingertips tapped absently on the smooth tabletop.

She raised her eyes, looking at Zhong Shichang and Lao Guo, who stood ramrod straight with their heads almost touching their chests, and asked in a tone devoid of emotion, "Was it damaged during the cutting?"

"Yes...yes, Mr. Su." Zhong Shichang's voice was a little dry, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down. "We...we didn't expect its internal structure to be so unstable. We were just doing a routine high-speed cut to separate some samples, and the result..."

He paused, his face full of frustration: "As a result, the internal structure of the ice spear may have been disrupted by some kind of energy cycle disorder, and the entire ice spear shattered directly, turning into pure water molecules in less than a few seconds."

After a long silence, Su Mingjin finally spoke: "Experiments are always subject to unexpected events."

"Alright, it's just a special magical weapon. It's broken, so be it." She said calmly, suppressing the turmoil in her heart. "At worst, we can just steal one back from the next undead boss."

She spoke casually, but Zhong Shichang and Lao Guo's eyelids twitched.

The two of them finally relaxed, followed by feelings of shame.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Su! We... we will never make this mistake again!"

"Okay, go and report the situation to Professor Deng."

"OK!"

The two men felt as if they had been granted a pardon. They saluted and quickly turned to report the failure to Deng Dakang and the others.

Only after the footsteps disappeared at the end of the corridor did Su Mingjin rub her temples and mutter to herself, "The projects that cost a fortune are all stalled one after another, while the Taoist priest I didn't really expect much from actually produced a pleasant surprise! Is this what they mean by 'a happy accident happens'?"

"Sigh, I bet those arrogant scientists are utterly astonished."

She got up and walked towards the operations command post.

Several well-dressed commanders stood up immediately when they saw her enter.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Su Mingjin wore a somewhat formulaic smile: "Gentlemen, our superiors have praised our research group's findings highly. General Manager Li specifically instructed us that you've all worked very hard!"

Smiles immediately appeared on everyone's faces, and the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Once the joy of praise had subsided slightly, Su Mingjin changed the subject: "Professor Deng and Professor Wen Min's preliminary conclusions lean towards a special catalytic reaction. The cinnabar and obsidian powder from the other world, mixed with the fibers of a type of pine wood from that other world, formed an extremely unstable spontaneously combustible substance."

"As for those exorcising talismans and the special light, they are likely precursors to this reaction, a specific key. This key happens to activate the magical particles within the undead, creating a resonance that ignites them from within!"

"Professor Deng has now applied for a research project and is attempting to replicate the techniques used by the two Taoist priests!"

"Master Chen said that the talismans they drew were for communicating with the True Martial Emperor, and that they used a spirit-summoning ritual to invite their ancestors to manifest, thus connecting with the primordial energy of heaven and earth in this world through utmost sincerity!"

"So far, the Taoist priest has successfully drawn eight talismans by following the same method, and each time the release is faster than the last. By the way, Commander Li is very interested in this!"

Let's hear your thoughts!

"Currently, both sides have their own version of events. Was it a lucky coincidence by the Taoist priest, or did some deity truly intervene remotely? This is crucial for allocating resources for subsequent research. As for us, we must assist them by providing scientific and logistical support!"

"Let them fight for it based on results; in the end, we'll be the ones who benefit."

"Isn't that abandoning science?"

As everyone frowned, Su Mingjin pushed a handwritten document towards them.

Commander Man took the document and saw the words "It is recommended to invite professionals from Maoshan and Longhushan to come and exchange ideas" written in a flamboyant style. His eyes twitched involuntarily.

Why are the higher-ups so biased towards metaphysics?

"Personally, I hope it's just a simple chemical reaction."

Commander Man's voice was deep and somber, the deep lines between his brows almost enough to trap a fly: "In that case, at least our scientific theories won't have to be scrapped and rebuilt."

"I also believe it's simply a scientific response!"

Brigadier General Fu, standing nearby, snorted and casually crossed his arms: "Old Man is just meddling in other people's business! Gods or demons, one salvo of 155mm howitzers will turn any monster into a ghost!"

Someone nearby immediately chimed in, "Exactly! Even if God came, we'd still try to get a box of eggs. If we don't dare give him eggs, we'd just ask him how many divisions he has!"

The meeting room was immediately filled with cheerful laughter.

"If you ask me, why bother with all that! Since otherworldly materials can be produced normally in modern times, let's produce them in modern times for otherworldly use! Forget about the principles, just plow up all the skeletal remains within a few hundred miles, turn over the soil, and once we've resolved the long-standing safety hazards, we'll have plenty of time to study them slowly!"

"I second that! It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice, it's a good cat! I also think we're being too cautious!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than someone objected.

"Don't get carried away. There really are gods in this world! Those supernatural beings have bizarre abilities. Didn't you read the reports? If we're too careless, how many combatants will we have to sacrifice? That's irresponsible to the lives of our frontline soldiers."

"I think conventional artillery is fine. I still prefer a steel torrent to crush the enemy, with artillery directly washing the ground," a staff officer said in a low voice.

"Conventional artillery is only effective against undead! What if we encounter energy beings? Our understanding of magical elements is almost zero. We can't let our warriors sacrifice themselves in vain because of our overconfidence!"

"I agree with Old Sun. But regardless, the two Taoist priests have done a great service this time! They've accomplished something that even scientists haven't figured out, so we need to think of ways to praise them!"

Su Mingjin rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.

"We should give them serious praise; this will hopefully give a spur to those scientists who haven't changed their minds!"

Her words caused a slight change in everyone's expression.

In previous experiments, even the shattered remains of the dead could be used to induce a combustion reaction.

The synthesis experiments of some materials in the chemistry group are always accompanied by various unexpected problems, and they must be transported back to the modern world to achieve stable production.

If scientists are overly stimulated, will their experiments become more radical?

What should be done if a dangerous experiment occurs?

The destructive power of soldiers lies in their weapons. But the destructive power of scientists is unpredictable; you never know from which angle they might cause an accident!

Su Mingjin continued, "Your ideas are all excellent. What we need to do now is, firstly, to recognize and honor the Daoist's achievements!"

"They've done a great job; we can't let that go unnoticed!"

"Furthermore, we need to try to replicate Master Chen's research results in batches and turn them into controllable weapons in the hands of our soldiers."
