Academy City's Puppet Master

There are countless universities and scientific research institutions in Academy City, and the research results released at the festival are naturally countless.According to the past practice, the so-called opening ceremony of Yiduanlan Festival is simply an "opening ceremony", and it is enough to find someone to come on stage and announce it-mainly for the news media from outside.

As for more detailed and specific dry goods, you have to go to various schools or research institutes to find out for yourself.

It was not the first time for many of the reporters present to participate in the reporting of Yiduanlan Festival, so they knew the routine very well.

But this year is different.

Academy City has just won the "Third World War", and is currently competing with "Gremlin" for the dominance of the science side with a great victory.

It is not difficult to imagine that this year's Yiduanlan Festival will inevitably have big news.

But no one expected that a big news would break out at the opening ceremony when Haiyuan was the master.

"...I believe everyone here has heard about the 'Heart of Gold' project led by our school."

After reading the opening speech in a satisfactory manner, the head of Haiyuan did not step down, but continued to speak.

There was an uproar.

Words such as "heart of gold" and "perpetual motion machine" appear frequently in various language versions.

In a sense, the development of "perpetual motion machine" is even more eye-catching than "World War III".

"The successful development of the 'Heart of Gold' - the 'perpetual motion machine' is undoubtedly the greatest breakthrough in the history of mankind in this century, no, it should be the greatest breakthrough in the history of mankind!" Haiyuan said passionately, "Throughout history, human civilization is to use Energy, a civilization that develops energy! And now, we have 'inexhaustible' energy!"

The head of Haiyuan started the first research results conference directly at the opening ceremony.

"...We, Academy City, will take this opportunity to push human civilization into a more brilliant future!"

The master Haiyuan waved vigorously, and a ppt was displayed on the huge screen behind him.

The title at the top is impressively written with four large characters - "Super City".

There are two types of inventions, pioneering inventions and transformational inventions.

The development of "perpetual motion machine" is undoubtedly the first.

But Academy City is best at the latter.That is to say, they can transform the latest research results into practical products at the fastest speed.

Academy City itself is the best example.

Similarly, after the "Perpetual Motion Machine Development Department" successfully produced the "Golden Heart", Academy City immediately mobilized and conducted in-depth research.

And quickly achieved a series of results.

The most important of these is the "super city".

A design drawing of a certain device was released on the screen.

"This is the blueprint of the 'perpetual motion machine'." Master Haiyuan introduced.

Immediately there was a flood of camera calls from the audience. Regardless of whether it was true or false, it was quite precious information, and it was important to record it first.

"Don't worry, everyone. We will distribute the detailed information to everyone in a unified way." The master of Haiyuan smiled and said, "Although it is also a 'perpetual motion machine', this is a degraded version after an improved design. At best, it can only be regarded as a 'perpetual motion machine'. Heart of Bronze' huh?"

It turns out that the No. [-] to No. [-] machines built by Accelerator and Misaka Misei themselves are the real "heart of gold", and their principle is most in line with the "perpetual motion machine" in people's impression.

Afterwards, Changdian Shangji Academy concentrated its efforts to optimize the design scheme and came up with a brand new second-generation version.

The second-generation version does not need to rely on high-level ability users such as Yifang Accelerator and Misaka Misei, but uses scientific and industrial technology to replace it, and truly realizes "mass production".

Of course, as a price, the performance of this version is much weaker.The first is the increase in size, from the original human heart to the heart of the car—the size of the engine; second, the source of energy is no longer directly from the "dimensional potential energy" generated by dimensionality reduction, but needs to be transferred through the imaginary mathematics area.

This version is nicknamed "Heart of Silver" by everyone.

In the end, there is the version that the master of Haiyuan is showing to the world now—it is even larger in size, comparable to a building.The output power is huge enough, but energy can only be obtained by relying entirely on the imaginary mathematics area.

In contrast, this "Bronze Heart" has been further simplified to the point that "technologies other than Academy City can also be built".

"The energy output by each 'Heart of Bronze' can maintain the operation of a city with a population of 500,000 people." Haiyuan Master said, "We are going to build a series of floating island-style cities in the Pacific Ocean, and all their energy will come from this Bronze Heart. Heart offers."

At the same time, according to the plan, a large number of "Silver Hearts" will be equipped in these floating island cities to truly achieve complete energy self-sufficiency.

Going one step further than Academy City, those floating island cities will become real "future cities".

"We will disclose all the information about the 'Heart of Bronze' and the floating island city." Lord Haiyuan announced, "Everyone can build their own future city."

"But, what's the point of doing this?" People didn't believe that Academy City would be so generous—even if the technology they disclosed wasn't the best, it still far exceeded the average level of the outside world.

"After we solve the problems of output power and energy storage..." Haiyuan Master said, "Don't you think these floating island cities are the best space expedition ships?"

From the beginning to the end, the master of Haiyuan did not tell a single lie.

His meaning—and also the official meaning of Academy City—is very clear, that is to seize the commanding heights of technological development and compete for the dominance of the direction of human civilization.

It's a conspiracy, a response to Gremlin's concept of "fortifying potions" and "new humans."

Only the development of the entire civilization and the desire for the stars and the sea can overwhelm the individual human desire for "longevity".

"... Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to repeat," Haiyuan Master said, "We have stood at the crossroads of history, welcome to a new era."

===Chapter 57 Let's end the villain===

Through the thick walls, Ling Xingye could vaguely hear the hustle and bustle coming from the theater.

Theoretically speaking, the sound insulation effect of the theater is very good, let alone the most famous Academy City Theater.

It is really unimaginable what happened in the theater to produce such an exaggerated movement!

"How dare you get distracted fighting with me!"

Seeing him turn his head to look in the direction of the theatre, Xia Wa sternly reprimanded him, instantly transformed into an arrow from the string, and punched him.

Considering the speed, strength, and physical strength that Eve showed before, even if a main battle tank stood in front of her, she would be blown away with a single punch.

boom!

The fist stopped ten centimeters away from Ling Xingye's chest.

Eve could feel that her fist was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"I heard that Ling Xingye has a barrier with amazing defensive power, which once blocked the frontal attack of the super electromagnetic gun!" Eve immediately remembered the relevant information.

At first, she didn't pay much attention to it, she just thought it was because the attack power of the "Railgun" was not strong enough; but now it seems that this "barrier" is too strong.

The momentum was blocked, even with Eve's current physique, she couldn't move for a moment.

——Thanks for strengthening my physique to the limit, otherwise, at least my wrist would have suffered a comminuted fracture just now.

Xia Wa rejoiced in her heart, but Ling Xingye didn't have the intention of waiting for her to recover from the stiffness. In all directions, several silk threads wrapped around her body.

Eve subconsciously exerted her strength to break the threads. Although the performance of the "Flying Blade" was excellent, it was still far from being able to trap her.

Even without much movement, Eve easily broke all the silk threads on her body.

After getting rid of the shackles, before Eve had time to breathe a sigh of relief, she suddenly found that she had lost her balance and was falling to the ground.

Just now, I was too devoted to dealing with Ling Xingye's silk bondage, so much so that I ignored other aspects...

Eve immediately saw why.

——No, I was induced!Ling Xingye is guiding my efforts.I destroyed my center of gravity and sense of balance!

On the opposite side, Ling Xingye flicked his fingers, and Eve felt her feet suddenly empty, and finally fell firmly to the ground.

Boom!

The earth trembled, opening spider web-like cracks.

Where Eve fell, the ground was fully sunken by nearly [-] centimeters!

If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, no one would have imagined that this crater-like mark was actually caused by a girl falling on the ground.

Seeing Ling Xingye was also frightened - the next battle must not be beaten by this girl.

"hateful!"

Eve shook her head and got up from the pit. Except for being a little disheveled, she herself was unscathed.

Then, she suddenly exploded and rushed to Ling Xingye at a speed almost teleporting.

Immediately, countless silk threads wound up, pulling her offensive to other places.

With the previous experience, Eve did not fall again.

But when the same situation happened one after another, Xia Wa realized that Ling Xingye might indeed have found a way to win.

"You are indeed very powerful." Ling Xingye commented, "But it doesn't make sense if you can't hit the enemy's attack."

"Stop talking nonsense!" Eve scolded, "Are these little tricks all you have!"

"No matter what method, as long as it works." Ling Xingye said, "Besides, I am a puppet master, so what's wrong with being good at tricks?"

When Eve heard this, she immediately sneered: "But don't get me wrong, this is not the stage you usually perform on."

After all, Eve slashed over with a knife in her hand.Although it was only bare-handed, it delivered a fierce slash no less than that of the apostle of the sword.

She didn't attack Ling Xingye directly, but cut the ground under her feet.

Afterwards, Eve pushed out with another palm, causing a gust of wind immediately.

Ling Xingye was rolled up together with the ground under his feet, and was blown away with the strong wind.

With the blessing of the majority vote, Eve is more than just a miraculous berserker.

In addition to physical strengthening, her abilities also include omnipotent telekinesis, and some spiritual temptation.

It can be called an "all-around fighter" without dead ends.

"I said, don't underestimate the stage performance." Ling Xingye's voice appeared on the front left of her side again.

"It's this trick again..." Eve's face was gloomy, showing disgust.

"The stage is fair."

Ling Xingye's voice came from behind again, what just appeared was a puppet stand-in.

"Everyone on the stage is a performer." Ling Xingye's voice was erratic, as if he was speaking from all directions, "Equal treatment without exception."

Eve held her breath, trying to find the real Ling Xingye.

After a while, she suddenly realized that she was already covered with silk threads!

——Everyone on the stage is a performer, without exception!
