Industry: Cthulhu

Chapter 56 Tractor Beam

Due to the recent increase in air routes to and from Earth, the voyage from the inner ring of the Milky Way to Earth, although long, is not difficult.

Two days before arriving on Earth, Milner witnessed the combat test of the Guardian Wings. He could hardly believe his eyes when he saw that the small cargo ship remained unscathed under the fierce attack of the heavy particle cannon.

Milner was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He had a vague feeling that perhaps this move he made was right.

Two days later, Milner stepped into the headquarters of Blueray Technology and was immediately shocked by the scene before him.

In the hall, scientists and engineers in various professional uniforms were walking around, each with a look of determination and expectation on their face.

Completely different from the deserted Earth he had previously imagined, this place is full of vitality and innovation. Milner thought that as a mid-level engineer coming here, he would be the lucky one to catch up with this wave of technology first.

However, when he actually arrived on Earth, he discovered that a large number of galactic elites had already gathered here, and a scientific research corps composed of top talents was growing rapidly.

Among them are senior engineers who have worked for the four strongest galaxies in the galaxy, scientific authorities from various galaxies, and backbones of the scientific research community like himself. Each member of the expert group has his or her own expertise.

What surprised him even more was that the expert group was so large, covering almost all important scientific research fields, including high-energy physics, quantum technology, artificial intelligence, bioengineering...

Everyone here is independent and confident, working towards a common goal, and Milner is very excited by the power of unity.

The reason why Guardian Wings was able to pass the test so quickly and complete the entire process from blueprint to mass production in a short period of time is ultimately because of these scientists in front of us.

Blu-ray Technology is not just an ordinary company, but also an organized, powerful and far-sighted scientific research team!

Everyone has found a sense of belonging in the Legion, and Milner is no exception.

"Welcome, my friend!"

As soon as he entered the company, someone took the initiative to familiarize him with the environment, introduced him to the customs and culture of the earth, and introduced him to like-minded friends.

Rather than saying it is a scientific research center, it is more like a utopia for all those who have scientific dreams.

Blu-ray Technology provides everyone with a stage, an opportunity to realize their lifelong dreams, and a free paradise for exploration and innovation.

It was a coincidence that on the second day after Milner joined Blu-ray Technology, the department head Colt announced an important news that the company would hold a research and development conference, and the boss Fang Yan would attend in person to arrange the next research and development plan.

Ulla~

The colleagues immediately cheered. They had not yet fully recovered from the previous success of Guardian Wings. The disruptive technology that Fang Yan brought last time made everyone feel unprecedented shock. They hoped that the boss could bring the same exciting scientific research results and directions this time.

"I'm really looking forward to it. I wonder what project they're going to do this time?"

"It's really fast. The Guardian Wings project just ended a few days ago, and we're about to start a new journey."

“I like this rhythm!”

Milner listened to the passionate speeches of his colleagues around him. Although he had just arrived, he was infected by the atmosphere and was full of expectations.

The next morning, Milner walked into the conference room filled with excitement and anticipation. The room was already packed, everyone eagerly awaiting the event, the atmosphere tense yet cheerful. Milner felt a little nervous, his hands clasped in his knees, his heartbeat quickening.

Not long after, Fang Yan appeared.

Milner couldn't help but look at the young leader. Fang Yan was much younger than Milner expected, but his smooth steps and calm attitude revealed a confidence that was inconsistent with his age.

Milner thought, how could such a young man win the trust of such a top scholar? He must have some outstanding qualities, right?

As Fang Yan walked to the front desk, the holographic projection screen was lit up and the conference room suddenly fell silent.

Milner's attention was immediately drawn to the light curtain, which displayed a complex design.

Milner opened his eyes wide, and he quickly realized that the device in the projection was actually based on quantum field fusion reactor technology.

As an expert in high-energy physics, Milner has extensive research in this field. However, the design presented by Fang Yan was far beyond his understanding. He was unable to understand it at all for a while and could only keep speculating in his mind.

The details are so complex and the structure is so precise that even with his extensive knowledge, Milner still cannot fully understand the principles behind it.

At this time, Fang Yan pointed at the device on the holographic projection and briefly explained its function and design concept.

"This is the next project that the company will be working on soon. It's called the Tractor Beam."

Similar to the principle of the Guardian Wings, the tractor beam is also a device based on high-energy physics and energy divergence. It can grab and control objects deep in space, bring them nearby, or directly load them into the cargo hold.

Tractor beams have very broad application potential in interstellar mining, interstellar logistics, and even the military industry.

Everyone was stunned and froze in their seats. Milner felt an indescribable shock and could not understand why Fang Yan called the tractor beam a small project.

Energy dispersion technology can actually be used like this?
Milner looked at the light curtain. The key structure of the device was composed of a series of energy diffusers, which aggregated high-energy particle beams through complex electromagnetic force fields and then emitted them in the form of light beams.

After Fang Yan's introduction, Milner felt that he finally understood a small part, but he also knew that the traction beam was different from a simple gravity device. It could not only lock onto objects in space, but also precisely control the trajectory of these objects. Only when the accuracy and energy control reached an incredible level could it capture distant space objects without damage.

Once this technology succeeds, its influence will undoubtedly spread throughout the galaxy. Transportation efficiency in mining production will increase exponentially, and complex interstellar cargo transportation in the logistics industry will become simpler. In war, this technology may completely change the fleet's tactical strategies, making long-range combat in space more precise and lethal.

Even though it was so powerful, Fang Yan still called this technology a "small project", which made Milner almost unbelievable. He really wanted to open Fang Yan's head and see what was inside.

"If there are no further questions, let's stop here for now and adjourn the meeting."

Fang Yan has never been a person who drags his feet. After he finished introducing the traction beam, he turned around and left the meeting room. His behavior was as capable and decisive as ever, as if what he explained was just a small part of daily affairs.

However, Milner was still immersed in the shock of the beam technology and could not calm down for a long time.

He sat in the chair, staring at the closed holographic projection screen, every word Fang Yan had just said echoing in his mind.

The earth, Blue Light Technology, Fang Yan, all of these may be far more complex, more mysterious, and more powerful than one can imagine.
