Chapter 45: Testing the New Charging Method

Who would have thought that among an official delegation sent by a country, there is a "humanoid system" capable of copying and optimizing everything it sees?

Amidst the laughter and chatter, Luo Lao never spoke; he simply watched everything in silence.

Finally, he raised his hand and gently pressed down.

The boiling meeting room quieted down again.

Everyone's gaze gathered on the envoy dispatched from above.

Luo Lao scanned the room and said:

"Truth lies only within the range of a cannon's fire, while the future lies beyond the frontier of technology—for our people, for our nation, for the future of our Yanhuang ethnicity, this risk is worth taking."

"I have approved this plan, but the entire process must guarantee the absolute safety of Comrade Xiao Qin!"

Starting now, all relevant departments—foreign affairs, commerce, technology, etc. —will immediately take action, centering on Comrade Xiao Qin to serve this plan.

"We will use the shortest time to pave a 'sightseeing' road for him leading to all high-tech fields worldwide."

For the last four words, Lao Luo deliberately emphasized his tone, and a meaningful smile appeared on his face.

After the meeting ended, someone immediately went to prepare the "visit" plan.

And Qin Hao went elsewhere the next day with Academician Qian and others; as for where, it was surely to witness the new charging method.

Half an hour later,

Qin Hao was already inside Yanhuang Guo's top-tier comprehensive energy laboratory.

"Academician Qian, Minister He, welcome welcome!"

The receiving officer, Jiang An, exchanged a few pleasantries and then turned his gaze to Qin Hao.

After sizing him up carefully, he spoke again:

"All test sites are ready; we will proceed strictly according to risk level, from low to high, the first item being thermal energy testing."

The crowd passed through several heavy isolation doors and arrived at a hall.

In the center stood a huge furnace forged from a special high-temperature alloy, now emitting astonishing heat that twisted the very air.

"This is our experimental device simulating waste heat from an industrial blast furnace; the core temperature can be stabilized at 3500 degrees Celsius." Jiang An pointed at the furnace and introduced it.

"Hmm! I think this will work!"

Academician Qian nodded and then said to Qin Hao, "Xiao Qin, are you ready?"

"I don't have anything to prepare." Qin Hao nodded, also feeling a bit anticipatory.

"Then let's begin!"

Once everything was ready, Qin Hao slowly walked toward the huge furnace.

The closer he got, the stronger the scorching heat wave became; when he reached about ten meters from the furnace, a thought stirred and he communicated with the system.

【Begin absorbing energy—thermal energy.】

The next second, the scorching heat that seemed about to ignite a person vanished without a trace.

His own temperature returned to normal.

Qin Hao hurriedly looked at the system panel; the Energy Points numbers began to jump.

【Energy Points +75/second】

【Energy Points +80/second】

……

At the same time, he also told these data to Academician Qian and the others.

In the observation room.

A group of scientists stared intently at a huge monitoring screen, for on the screen the thermal imaging display appeared extraordinarily strange.

Centered on Qin Hao, within a circular area half a meter in diameter, the original crimson representing high temperature instantly turned into green representing normal temperature.

Meanwhile, the heat waves around the furnace surged wildly toward Qin Hao's position.

"This is unbelievable! The thermal energy absorption efficiency reaches one hundred percent!"

A thermodynamics expert, looking at the unbelievable data on the instrument, exclaimed in shock!

"This completely violates the second law of thermodynamics! Entropy… entropy is decreasing around him!"

Academician Qian equally excitedly said: "Forget the laws! Our laws will be written by Xiao Qin today! Quickly record the data—80 points per second!"

As time passed and temperature kept changing, everyone finally determined that for each degree Celsius rise in temperature, the energy absorbed per second would increase by one point.

"It's truly amazing! If we were to throw him straight into the sun's core, he could probably gain over fifteen million points per second."

A scientist spoke up.

This left the others speechless.

Of course, this is just a thought—how could the country possibly do such a thing?

Observation continued.

Second item, light energy.

In a fully sealed white room, hundreds of high-power searchlights were aimed at the center.

When all the lights turned on, the entire room blazed like midday, its illumination intensity ten times that of the noon sun.

Qin Hao stood at the center of the light, which made him unable to open his eyes, but after ordering absorption, his vision miraculously returned to normal.

【Energy Points +100/second】

"100 points per second!"

Academician Qian listened to Qin Hao's reported data, nodded, and said, "It's much lower than thermal energy; it seems the conversion efficiency of light energy is not high."

After some tinkering, they concluded: the brighter the light, the higher the efficiency.

Next came the third, fourth, and fifth items: ray energy, radiation energy, and magnetic field energy.

This time the observation site was moved to the third underground level, where the security level was noticeably higher, and everyone donned heavy lead protective suits.

Jiang An's expression also became especially solemn:

Comrade Qin Hao, this is the gamma ray irradiation room, used for material modification and sterilization. Although the system can absorb energy, we cannot have any wishful thinking; if you feel any discomfort, terminate the experiment immediately.

"I understand." Qin Hao nodded solemnly.

When he walked alone into the irradiation chamber made of two-meter-thick concrete and lead plates, saying he wasn't nervous would be false.

【Start absorbing energy—ray energy.】

【Energy Points +340/s】

【Start absorbing energy—radiation energy.】

【Energy Points +280/s】

【Start absorbing energy—magnetic field energy】

【Energy Points +150/s】

……

After several dozen minutes, the observation ended.

Everyone came to a meeting room.

Jiang An distributed the printed data report to everyone present, including Qin Hao.

"Please look, according to the just-measured data, we can basically draw a preliminary conclusion." Jiang An began to summarize.

"Under the current experimental conditions, the highest energy absorption efficiency is ray energy, followed by radiation energy, then magnetic and thermal energy, and the lowest is light energy."

"As for nuclear explosion energy, we cannot possibly conduct an experiment; it's too dangerous and too ostentatious, but I think the efficiency must be very high."

Qian Academician looked at this set of data, nodded, then shook his head,

"Mm! You're right, Xiao Qin's safety comes first, everything else is secondary. Although the efficiency of ray and radiation energy is indeed astonishing, the problem is we can't let Xiao Qin stay in the irradiation chamber every day, right? If one stays there too long, not only people, even a lump of iron would undergo modification."

His joke eased the atmosphere considerably.

"Yeah!"

Jiang An interjected, "Maintaining such a high-energy ray environment itself consumes enormous energy; it's not worth it."
