Chapter 459 - 459 Creation Is the Source of Technological Research and Development


459 Creation Is the Source of Technological Research and Development


His words were hurtful, but Wu Mo had to tell the truth.


If he lied to the girl, her future would go to waste.


“I understand, Chief Engineer Wu.”


Her voice was a little m.u.f.fled, and tears welled up in her eyes.


However, Wu Mo had no other choice.


Even if he wanted to achieve controllable nuclear fusion through the system store, it would still be incredibly difficult.


He estimated that he would need at least two hundred million system points.


More importantly, there was no practical significance in researching controllable nuclear fusion.


Humans were still restricted by this planet. Although they could enter s.p.a.ce, they could not fly out of the galaxy.


In addition, controllable nuclear fusion could only be achieved if the entire planet’s basic technology reached a corresponding level. When that happened, it would only be logical to develop controllable nuclear fusion.


If a building’s base was not up to standard, creating a controllable nuclear fusion project would be like building a castle in the air. Without basic support, it would be on the verge of collapse.


Wu Mo continued to review the ma.n.u.script. After this controllable nuclear fusion incident, he began to pay more attention to it. He realized that there were indeed some outstanding people emerging from this research and development training school.


These young students were all around the age of twenty. Some of them had strong hands-on skills, while others were flexible, creative, and daring.


There were also some students who had unique ideas that opened Wu Mo’s eyes.


Most of the students in the Research and Development Training Academy were keen on researching weapons.


The research on weapons and guns often yielded remarkable results, and the military regions were in urgent need of a large number of advanced weapons and equipment.


China loved peace, but it was also determined to defend itself.


Wu Mo had a feeling that the situation in the southeast coast might cause China to need these weapons even more in the future.


“What is this?”


Wu Mo’s gaze fell on the next invention.


Before him was a submachine gun with a caliber of about 125mm. The b.u.t.t and the body of the gun seemed to be carefully and precisely connected.


When the internal structure was unfolded, the gun could hold three magazines, which was a total of 210 bullets!


Such guns were not rare in the Chinese army, and submachine guns could be seen everywhere.


When the student saw Wu Mo come to his side, he swallowed nervously and organized his thoughts.


“Chief Engineer Wu, this is a modified T88 a.s.sault rifle. I’ve made adjustments to its internal structure and used electromagnetic tubes to compress the bullets with high electronic pressure. As a result, I’ve increased its range and accuracy. I’m sure everyone knows that an increase in firing speed could greatly reduce the influence of the wind and resistance.”


Wu Mo nodded repeatedly as the student spoke.


Section Chief Zhang’s face revealed a proud expression.


In fact, the real purpose of developing a training academy was for students to study practical projects.


However, Wu Mo pointed out the flaws in this new weapon.


“The principle of your design is to increase the compression force to increase the range and accuracy, but it will greatly reduce the weapon’s lifespan.”


This sentence hit the nail in the coffin.


The student nodded humbly and admitted that he had considered this problem when designing.


Electromagnetic compression could indeed increase the range and accuracy of bullets, but under electromagnetic pressure, it would be difficult for current military materials to keep up with such a huge consumption.


He believed that such an a.s.sault rifle had a limited lifespan and could explode at any time.


The anxious student then asked, “In that case, how can I improve and increase its lifespan, Chief Engineer Wu?”


Wu Mo pondered for a moment and replied, “Everything has its pros and cons. If you focus on one thing, you have to give up on something else.”


“What? In other words, there’s no material that can withstand continuous electromagnetic pressure? Won’t my design fall apart prematurely then?” the student said dejectedly.


He had invested a lot of time in his research, and the results were unacceptable.


He wanted Wu Mo to take a look at it because he was hoping to hear his opinion.


After all, this drawback had to be solved.


Wu Mo thought about it again and suggested, “Perhaps you should find materials that are more resistant to high temperatures and improve them. Besides, have you ever considered that in the current environment, pursuing an ultra-high range is actually superfluous?”


“Superfluous? What do you mean?”


Not only were the students curious, but even Section Chief Zhang and a group of teachers from the training academy widened their eyes. They were waiting for Wu Mo to explain.


“The electromagnetic pulse cannon is the only close combat weapon on land. In a situation where the electromagnetic pulse cannon can’t solve a problem, do you think your design can save the situation?” he said.


His words suddenly enlightened everyone!


When the student designed the gun, he only wanted to increase the bullet’s range so that it could even surpa.s.s the cannon’s range.


However, he neglected the fact that cannons and machine guns had their own characteristics. No matter how long the gun’s range was, could its power compare to that of cannons?


For example, the electromagnetic gun designed by Wu Mo could destroy a car in one shot.


However, it was unrealistic for this student to think that an a.s.sault rifle could achieve a similar effect.


Putting aside the hardness and toughness of the material, even if it could be done, what about the cannons?


The current electromagnetic pulse cannons were far more powerful than the a.s.sault rifle.


Moreover, under such high-intensity electromagnetic pressure, the rifle could explode at any time and even endanger its wielder.


Wu Mo smiled and explained, “Let me give you a simple a.n.a.logy. A chicken is a chicken, and a duck is a duck. There’s already a group of chickens laying eggs here, but you insist on forcing a duck to lay eggs too. What’s the point?”


Although this a.n.a.logy was simple, it was extremely appropriate. It just so happened to reveal the problem of the student’s design.


Seeing that the student was in low spirits, Wu Mo comforted him, “You don’t have to beat yourself up. Your idea is very creative. As long as there’s a breakthrough in materials and costs, your design will reach a higher level.”


After he received Wu Mo’s encouragement, the student’s mood improved, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.


“Alright, Chief Engineer Wu! I’ll work hard to invent a high-pressure electromagnetic rifle that has a long service life!”


“Okay, good luck!” Wu Mo smiled and gave him a thumbs up.


Time flew by in the morning. Wu Mo pointed out some things about many important inventions, but he remained silent about some designs.


He believed that some inventions were difficult to materialize at this stage, even with the help of the Divine-grade Military System.


Such inventions proved that the students had a rich imagination and could write science fiction, but it was challenging to apply their inventions.


“Chief Engineer Wu, please follow me.”


Soon after, Section Chief Zhang brought Wu Mo around the training academy’s laboratory equipment.


It was fully equipped, and some of the equipment was designed by the school itself.


“Chief Engineer Wu, we would like to name the R&D training compet.i.tion after you. There will be ten winners in the compet.i.tion. Each of them will have the opportunity to observe your research and development process up close. What do you think?”


After Chief Zhang finished speaking, he carefully observed Wu Mo’s expression.


Wu Mo considered it for a moment and replied, “Sure. Holding such a compet.i.tion could stimulate the students’ interest in research and development. Just ask them to see me after the compet.i.tion.”


Section Chief Zhang did not expect Wu Mo to agree so readily. He was extremely excited.


The idea had been in his head for a long time. If the ten best students could observe Wu Mo’s research and development closely, they would definitely gain valuable experience, which the training academy could not provide.


After he left the R&D Training Academy, Wu Mo returned to his dorm. The first thing he did was search the system store.


Inspired by the girl’s research on controllable nuclear fusion, countless future paths emerged in Wu Mo’s mind.
