Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 53 Energy Shield
The new device designed by Fang Yan immediately attracted the attention of the audience as soon as it was unveiled.

"It has energy-dispersing design features. Is it an energy device?"

"I don't understand, but in addition to the energy dissipation device, there are also a large number of energy conduits. This device should have strong explosive power."

"The particle flow is quite significant. Could it be some kind of space device?"

"I don't understand. I don't understand it at all. I've been in this industry for decades and I've never seen such a weird design."

Everyone speculated, but they had no idea what this device was.

At this time, Fang Yan said calmly: "This device can generate energy flow through quantum field fusion and materialize it into a layer of energy wall. In other words, it is an energy shield."

"According to simulation data, this energy shield can not only withstand physical impacts, but can also neutralize energy attacks of up to 500 megawatts."

Five hundred megawatts!?
The expert group was dumbfounded after hearing this.

Jerry was the first to react, exclaiming in surprise, "So, it can withstand the full force of a destroyer or cruiser's heavy particle accelerator? This... this is impossible! The energy released by a heavy particle accelerator is so terrifying that an ordinary shield would be completely destroyed in seconds!"

Fang Yan smiled slightly. "Not only that, it can also maintain over 90% energy stability under the full force of the heavy particle cannon. Once activated, the shield can regulate energy flow, quickly repair damage, and redistribute unused energy to strengthen key defense areas."

"In other words, this energy shield will flow like water. It will flow wherever it is needed."

"Furthermore, this system has a powerful learning ability. It can analyze the energy characteristics of enemy weapons and make corresponding adjustments to maximize the protective effect."

"My God!"

Jerry took a deep breath, as if completely shocked by the future potential of this technology.

He stood up and excitedly walked over to the holographic projection. "This thing is incredible! Once it's released to the market, the balance of the galaxy's armed forces will be completely disrupted!"

"Maybe." Fang Yan seemed very calm and shrugged lightly.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open, and Rashid walked in steadily with a serious expression.

His appearance immediately silenced the entire room. As a reputable star engineer, Rashid held a very important position in the circle. Everyone turned to him, waiting for his opinion.

Rashid slowly walked to the holographic projection of the energy shield and his eyes lingered on the complex structure of the device for a long time.

His eyes swept over the quantum field fusion engine, the energy dissipation device, and every detail. The conference room was so quiet that only the sound of slight breathing could be heard. Everyone was holding their breath and waiting.

Rashid then turned around and stared at Fang Yan sharply, and the two looked at each other.

Time seemed to stand still for a few seconds, the atmosphere tense and solemn. Finally, Rashid spoke in a low and steady voice, "This shield is quite good."

“Everyone should do everything they can to turn this from blueprint into reality as quickly as possible.”

The engineers were immediately delighted, but Fang Yan keenly noticed that Rashid seemed to have something more to say.

……

After the meeting, when Fang Yan returned to the office, he found Rashid already waiting for him, his expression as cold as a stone sculpture.

Fang Yan gently closed the door, smiled, and walked over to Rashid, sitting down across from him. Rashid spoke in a low voice, "Fang Yan, I know you had your own considerations when promoting the energy shield project, but I still feel that it's a bit too hasty to launch the new shield into the market given the current galactic situation. After all, the situation is far more tense than it appears, and conflict could break out at any time."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yan said calmly, "Actually, I've been prepared for this."

Rashid's brow furrowed slightly. "Prepare? What do you mean?"

Fang Yan's tone was filled with mystery. "The shield you saw is not actually its final form. The shield's maximum defense capacity is not 500 megawatts, but 5,000 megawatts."

Rashid was stunned for a moment, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.

He reacted and raised his voice a few degrees, "Five thousand megawatts? That's the maximum energy output of the quantum field fusion engine!"

Fang Yan nodded. "That's right. The shield can instantly concentrate all its energy on one point for defense when attacked. And five thousand megawatts is the limit of the reactor, not the limit of the shield."

"In fact, I've also designed a plan to combine multiple shields into an array. Assuming ten sets are operating in parallel, we can reach 50,000 megawatts of defensive energy. Similarly, the number of shield devices will determine the upper limit of defensive power. Or you can simply understand it as this type of shield has no upper limit."

Rashid was stunned, his eyes became extremely complicated, and his heart was extremely shocked.

If what Fang Yan said was true, then the shield would be able to withstand all kinds of attacks in the galaxy, and even provide absolute defense!

After a brief silence, Rashid suddenly realized a deeper problem. "Are you planning to bring this technology to market? You know, if any force gains control of this shield, the balance of the galaxy will be completely disrupted."

Fang Yan shook his head and smiled meaningfully, "I'm not that naive. What I push to the market are weakened versions. The truly fully functional version will only be kept for myself and my most trusted friends."

"In other words, all factions in the galaxy can purchase the shield, but they won't get the full version, only a weakened one."

Rashid stared at Fang Yan with a complicated expression.

He originally thought that Fang Yan was just a very smart young man, but now it seems that Fang Yan's mind is terribly deep.

After a moment of silence, Rashid revealed a helpless smile. "Fang Yan, you're really a hard-to-understand guy. On the surface, you appear harmless, but in fact, you're a cunning villain."

Fang Yan shrugged. "I don't understand any big principles, but if a small person wants to survive in this chaotic world, he has to leave some tricks for himself, right?"

Rashid nodded slightly. He actually admired Fang Yan's habit of keeping a backup plan for everything. He also felt that it was a great thing for Isabella and Fang Yan to be together.

However, before Rashid could speak, Fang Yan released even more explosive news.

Fang Yan cleared his throat and began to outline the blueprint in his mind. "Next, I will quickly deploy shields in every corner of the Earth, forming the first indestructible line of defense."

Rashid couldn't help but wonder, "Earth is far away at the edge of the Milky Way. Normally, it wouldn't be a major battlefield."

Fang Yan smiled gently, his eyes deep. "After all, the Earth is my home and my last refuge. I must ensure that no external forces can pose a threat to the Earth."

"The first line of defense is the surface shield. Next, I will build a second line of defense, an orbital defense system between the Earth and the Moon, to serve as a buffer zone against threats from deep space."

"As for the entire solar system, that will be the third line of defense."
