Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 54 Test
Quietly, a piece of news swept across the galaxy like a gust of wind.

Almost overnight, the same rumor appeared in major media, social platforms, and scientific forums: this year's Star Ring Award winner Fang Yan and his Blue Light Technology Company are about to launch their third product.

A new type of super energy shield called Guardian Wings, it is said that its defensive power can reach a sensational 500 megawatts!
The first person to release this news was a little-known engineer. He announced on the forum that a new product was about to be released, and made a detailed analysis of Fang Yan's previously launched Compass and Ocean Heart technologies. He speculated that the Guardian Wings must be based on quantum field fusion technology, and on this basis continued to extend to energy divergence science.

From high-energy physics to energy divergence, it is theoretically completely feasible, so his analysis was quickly spread, commented, and forwarded by other engineers, becoming known to everyone in the circle.

This is somewhat puzzling, because the Milky Way's engineers and scientists have always been low-key and focused, rarely showing up in public.

However, this time, they all appeared on major social media platforms, openly declaring that if the Guardian Wings really existed, it would completely overturn the galaxy's existing defense technology and even rewrite the galaxy's power structure.

Engineers who devote themselves to research on a daily basis not only share their own speculations and technical interpretations, but even publish details related to the design concept of Guardian Wings under some anonymous accounts.

They described in detail how the quantum field reactor converts almost uncontrollable energy into a stable shield force field through an energy rectifier. This technical discussion quickly spread from professional forums to the general public, triggering wider speculation and expectations.

Engineers promoted the Guardian Wings with an unusual enthusiasm, as if some mysterious force was quietly pushing the news to spread widely. A few people and media with a keen sense of smell even began to wonder whether there was a more complex power game behind all this.

In any case, Guardian Wings has become the hottest topic of discussion in the galaxy before it was even released.

……

Beijing.

A small shop located in an alley.

In a simple and warm environment, Fang Yan and Isabella sat at a wooden dining table.

Although Isabella was born into a top family in the galaxy and was accustomed to luxurious banquets and delicacies, she actually preferred snacks and desserts.

Several plates of simple stir-fried tripe were served on the table, topped with a fragrant sesame sauce, garlic sauce, and vinegar seasoning. Isabella's eyes lit up immediately, and as she devoured the food, she exclaimed happily, "Delicious! This tastes amazing!"

Fang Yan looked at her with a smile. This girl of noble birth was in stark contrast to the image of the upper class in the Galaxy. She was not arrogant at all and had very common tastes. She was actually quite easy to feed. Order a few snacks for her and she would smile with satisfaction.

Halfway through their meal, Isabella couldn't help but ask about the latest hot topic. "Shitou, do you know? News about the Guardian Wings is all over the place now. The whole galaxy knows about it. I really don't understand why the public opinion is so heated when this technology hasn't even been officially launched yet."

Fang Yan put down his chopsticks and smiled helplessly, "This is probably driven by Ariadne again."

Fang Yan explained to Isabella that Ariadt seemed to be still brooding over the intelligent computer incident twenty years ago. He felt that the scientific community and the authorities must distinguish between science and power, and the Milky Way must make its own choice. As a senior engineer, he wanted to prove that science is the only rule to guide mankind.

He is like one of the most loyal believers of Scientology. He vigorously promotes the Wings of Guardian and invites many outstanding talents to join Fang Yan's company. All of this is to prove the sole correctness of science.

Isabella frowned. "So how many experts do you have now?"

"More than three hundred people."

Fang Yan spread his arms. "Even if these people were placed in the inner galaxy, they would definitely be experts. Yet, they've traveled thousands of miles to this small, broken sphere on the edge of the galaxy. Perhaps this is what's called persistence. Everyone who comes to my company has an unparalleled passion and devotion for science."

"Aliat always mocks the Light Lords as a bunch of charlatans, but when it comes to science, he's no different." "The galactic fringe has always been poor and backward. With such a large group of elites suddenly arriving on Earth, it's hard for me to keep a low profile."

Isabella looked thoughtful. "You don't have to worry too much about that. Although the Jilong family isn't very powerful in the fringe areas, they still have some starships. I'll discuss with my uncle and have the fleet increase patrols around Earth."

Then, she asked curiously, "Speaking of which, the Galaxy is buzzing with excitement right now. When do you plan to officially launch Guardian Wings?"

Fang Yan smiled slightly, "Next week."

Isabella was startled. "So soon?"

Fang Yan smiled bitterly and said, "With over 300 experts, all of them are the most fervent believers in science. How could they not be happy?"

……

The Rose's engine vibrated slightly, and it smoothly broke free from the Earth's gravity, passed through the atmosphere, and flew into the vast space.

Fang Yan and the other members of the expert group came to the bridge and looked through the huge holographic screen at the old cargo ship that was stationary in space in front of them. This ship was the target of their test and was provided free of charge by their partner, the Merchant Alliance.

The starlight is faint.

Fang Yan sat in the center, his fingers lightly brushing across the control panel in front of him, while behind him, Jerry led the expert team members to quickly adjust the equipment and start the Star Network live broadcast signal.

Jerry monitored every detail intently, his heart burning with excitement.

As the most devout believer of Scientology, he knew that this was not just a simple test, but also an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the powerful force of science and technology to engineers and scientists all over the galaxy.

In fact, Fang Yan didn't want to be so high-profile. It was just a practical test and there was no need for a live broadcast.

However, the elite experts do not think so.

The AI incident many years ago caused countless top scientists and engineers to retire from the galaxy out of disappointment, and the scientific community suffered an unprecedented blow.

Since then, Jerry and others have been hoping to revive people's obsession with science. After all, in the minds of these guys, science is the only truth, and the existence of truth cannot be desecrated by anyone, not even the supreme power.

Because of this, the expert group came thousands of miles to Earth and regrouped at the edge of the Milky Way. They will not miss this opportunity to promote science as justice to the entire galaxy.

Fang Yan couldn't argue with them, so he just let it go and let them do whatever they wanted.

Jerry's heart was pounding at this moment. He and all the members of the expert group not only wanted to promote the power of science, but also hoped that more colleagues would be attracted by this live broadcast and rekindle the long-lost fire of hope in their hearts. They also hoped that more like-minded people would come to this distant starry sky in the fringe area like them.

When everything was ready, the green indicator light above the bridge lit up instantly, and Fang Yan gave the order to start the test without hesitation.
