Chapter 46: Crazy Charging Idea

In the meeting room, the atmosphere was somewhat dull.

Jiang An's summary report was very clear, but the conclusion was not uplifting.

"Looking at it this way, wanting to quickly obtain a large amount of Energy Points seems like an unsolvable problem," an academician frowned.

"Because we cannot currently create a safe, long-lasting, and cheap environment. And the previous methods are insufficient to support the nation's follow‑up plans; we can only rely on time to accumulate."

"That's the reasoning; even if Xiao Qin absorbs a hundred million Energy Points a day, it's hard to meet demand, because too much needs to be replicated."

Academician Qian sighed and rubbed his brow.

Everyone nodded in agreement; this is a very realistic problem.

Although the system is strong, we cannot treat it as an 'ancestor'; otherwise the nation's normal development rhythm would be disrupted.

Just then, Qin Hao, who had been quietly looking at the report, suddenly raised his head.

"Academician Qian, Minister Jiang, I've been wondering: why do we have to absorb these several types of energy separately?"

Everyone was startled, and all eyes turned to him.

Separate absorption?

Isn't that obvious?

Thermal energy tests are in the furnace, light energy tests in the strong‑light room, radiation tests in the irradiation room; different energy sources naturally require different locations.

Jiang An asked, somewhat puzzled: "Comrade Xiao Qin, just say what you have in mind!"

Qin Hao did not answer directly; instead, he pushed the data report to the center of the table and drew a circle on it with a pen,

circling together the five items: thermal, light, ray, radiation, and magnetic field energies.

"We are looking for the most efficient charging method, but our thinking has been limited to a 'single energy source'."

"But if there were a place that could produce these five, or even more, types of energy simultaneously, could we not stack all their efficiencies?"

"Simultaneously generate five types of energy?"

Academician Qian was stunned, following Qin Hao's line of thought,

"High temperature, strong light, strong radiation, strong magnetic field…… This sounds, how could it be so like……"

Before he finished speaking, another scientist immediately thought of a place and exclaimed.

"The interior of a star!"

Hiss—!!!

As soon as these four words were spoken, the meeting room filled with the sound of people sucking in cold air.

Stunned!

Are we supposed to throw Qin Hao into the sun to charge?

This idea is ten thousand times crazier than that previous 'card bug'.

"No, not a star."

Qin Hao chuckled, shook his head, looked at everyone's shocked expressions, and said helplessly,

"It's the tokamak device, our own artificial sun."

Boom!!!

Everyone's brains collectively broke down!

Tokamak device?

Yanhuang Guo's top‑level controlled nuclear fusion experimental reactor!

Inside, there is plasma at hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius, a magnetic field strong enough to warp space, and radiation and high‑energy particle streams capable of destroying everything……

Jiang An's mouth opened and stayed half‑open for a while; he looked at Qin Hao as if he were looking at a madman.

"You…… you mean…… you want to go into the reactor's vacuum chamber?"

This is no longer a matter of courage; it's outright insanity!

"In theory, it's feasible."

Qin Hao faced everyone's incredulous gazes and calmly explained:

"The system can absorb energy, creating an absolutely safe zone; I don't feel the 3,500‑degree heat wave of the furnace, and the gamma rays in the irradiation room cannot harm me."

"Then, what essential difference is there between the hundred‑million‑degree plasma in the tokamak device and these? To me, they are all just Energy Points."

"Moreover, it's a five‑in‑one: high temperature, strong light, radiation, rays, and magnetic field—it has them all! Once absorption begins, the efficiencies stack!"

"We just need to run it at full power for a while, and we can obtain Energy Points beyond imagination!"

After hearing this crazy idea, everyone fell silent in thought.

Only the heavy breathing of the crowd remained, rising and falling.

This idea has already surpassed the conventional imagination of all the top scientists present.

"No way! Absolutely not!"

Jiang An was the first to stand up and oppose, shaking his head like a rattle drum.

"It's too dangerous! If the system had even the slightest error, a mere 0.01‑second delay would vaporize you instantly, leaving not a single atom; we cannot take this risk."

"Yeah, Xiao Qin, this matter needs long‑term deliberation."

The other scientists all agreed, their faces full of worry.

At that moment, Cheng Haitang, who had been sitting beside Qin Hao, posed a question to Jiang An.

"Comrade Jiang An, if we follow Xiao Qin's idea and charge in the tokamak device for one minute, roughly how many Energy Points could we gain?"

Jiang An quickly calculated in his mind and gave an estimate:

"If we take the tested efficiency as a baseline, stack the five items, and factor in the energy density of the nuclear‑fusion environment, a conservative estimate is at least several hundred million Energy Points per second, which amounts to thirty billion points per minute."

"Hiss——"

The sound of sucking in cool air rang out again in the meeting room.

One minute, thirty billion points!

You should know, a single Ascending Dragon fighter jet also only has two million points of energy.

Charging for one minute can replicate fifteen thousand of them! This efficiency makes everyone feel unreal.

The previously unreachable lunar mining base, in the face of this terrifying charging efficiency, seems to have become no longer so illusory.

The huge temptation made even Jiang An, who had just been firmly opposed, unable to resist wavering.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that any 'safety first' argument, in the face of this astonishing gain, seemed somewhat feeble and pallid.

Academician Qian slowly rose to his feet, pacing back and forth in the meeting room, his expression uncertain.

After a long while, he stopped, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, finally settling on Qin Hao's face.

"This plan can serve as our trump card, a final trump card that decides the nation's fate."

He looked toward Jiang An and everyone else, saying, "Everyone's concerns are valid; we cannot take such a huge risk in peacetime. Regular charging should remain as before—steady and safe."

Then he looked toward Qin Hao again, his gaze becoming extremely solemn.

"But we should retain this 'Ultimate Charging Plan.' When the nation faces a life-or-death crisis, when we need to obtain massive energy in the shortest time,"

"to acquire vast energy to replicate those 'fantasy weapons' capable of turning the tide, it—this is our only hope."

"I agree!"

Cheng Haitang was the first to express his stance, his expression solemn.

"Normally the sword should stay sheathed, but we must ensure that when we need to draw it, this blade is extremely sharp!"

"Agree."

"Agree."

The atmosphere in the meeting room shifted from earlier shock and opposition to a consensus.

Everyone understood the true significance of this plan.

It is not a regular option, but the last resort in a critical moment.

"Good!"

Academician Qian nodded, a hint of relief appearing on his face, "I will personally report this to the Rote Commissioner. This plan will be temporarily kept as an emergency contingency."

He walked up to Qin Hao, patted his shoulder, his gaze complex.

"Comrade Xiao Qin, you've worked hard! You have to be both our eyes and our energy core!"

Qin Hao smiled and said nothing.
