A live stream of someone hand-making a giant white robot attracted the attention of the government,

The last words of Academician Zhang Chengping echoed and reverberated in the enormous auditorium.

The phrase "derived from this piece of metal flattened by a hydraulic press" shattered the last shred of hope for everyone present.

There was a deathly silence that lasted for a full three seconds.

The next moment, a sound wave like a landslide and a tsunami exploded!

"Whoosh!"

Applause, screams, and frenzied shouts, mixed with a metallic storm of camera shutters, instantly engulfed the entire space. Everyone stood up, clapping with all their might, their faces etched with the fervor and excitement of witnessing history.

"A miracle! This is a true miracle!"

"Zero Boundary Technology! Zero Boundary Technology!"

Backstage, Wang Tao's cheers were hoarse; he jumped and danced, so excited he was almost fainting.

"Senior! We did it! We won!"

Su Wanqing, whose mask of composure she always maintained, blushed with immense joy. She gazed at the figure in the center of the stage, surrounded by countless flashing lights, her beautiful phoenix eyes gleaming with dazzling brilliance.

In the live stream of the hardcore disassembly king, the barrage of comments had gone completely crazy, with millions of viewers flooding the server with "Holy crap" and "Awesome".

Academician Zhang Chengping, at the center of this storm, remained oblivious to the fervor surrounding him.

He waved away the media who wanted to come up and congratulate him, then bent down again, gazing intently at the "scrap metal" that was still steadily emitting energy.

A strong, scientifically instinctive impulse drove him. He reached out, not to touch, but to gently hover his rough hand above the metal disc, trying to feel the heat emanating from it.

This is the unavoidable cost of any energy conversion: thermal radiation.

However, all that came through the back of my hand was a cool breeze stirred up by the motor fan.

There was no scorching heat, no temperature rise, and not even the slightest feeling of being above room temperature.

Zhang Chengping's body jolted violently, and his face, which had been flushed with excitement, instantly lost all color, turning into an extreme paleness.

The fervor in his eyes was replaced by a deeper, more terrifying glint.

"etc!"

The noise in the auditorium suddenly subsided.

"It doesn't generate heat! It generates almost no heat!"

Academician Zhang Chengping's voice became shrill with extreme shock. He pointed at the metal disc and roared at the entire audience, as well as at himself.

This discovery stunned most of the people who were just celebrating.

No fever? So what?

What's so surprising about this?

However, in every corner of the auditorium, all the scholars from universities, all the engineers from companies, and all the knowledgeable technicians were struck dumb the moment they heard those words.

The ecstasy on their faces froze, then was quickly replaced by a blankness mixed with fear and fervor.

In the front row, a professor of power engineering from National Chiao Tung University in China, with gray hair, began to tremble violently. He shoved aside a reporter who was about to interview him, staggered into the aisle, grabbed the microphone from the cameraman next to him, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"No! This is impossible! Do you know what this means?"

He acted like a madman, roaring at the entire audience.

"This means near-100% energy conversion efficiency! No heat loss! This violates the second law of thermodynamics! This is the most insane 'holy grail' in physics, besides perpetual motion machines! We may be witnessing the birth of the holy grail of physics!"

David Kensington reacted incredibly quickly; he immediately turned the camera on his chest towards the out-of-control professor and pressed him for answers in fluent Chinese.

"Professor! Please explain to a global audience why this is the 'Holy Grail'!"

The professor from Jiaotong University, panting heavily, pointed to the batteries on the stage and explained in a tone that was both scientific and incredibly excited.

"Any energy conversion involves losses, the vast majority of which are lost as heat! Our mobile phones get hot, computers get hot, and the batteries in new energy vehicles require complex liquid cooling systems to keep them cool! But this device, while driving a 7.5-kilowatt industrial motor, produces almost no waste heat! This means that every bit of chemical energy is almost perfectly converted into electrical energy! This is the ultimate energy efficiency that humanity has always dreamed of!"

This easy-to-understand explanation was broadcast live and spread all over the world.

If the previous press conference was merely dropping a nuclear bomb in the business and engineering fields...

So now, the radiation from this nuclear bomb has begun to contaminate the entire field of fundamental physics!

In the live stream of the "Hardcore Disassembly King," he was speechless. His knees buckled, and he knelt down in front of the screen with a thud, muttering to himself.

"I was wrong... I shouldn't have analyzed it, shouldn't have questioned it... The Joker is still myself."

On stage, Academician Zhang Chengping.

He no longer had any reservations; he reached out his hands, trembling, and touched the cold metal.

Turbid tears streamed down his face, tracing the wrinkles on his cheeks.

As a scientist who dedicated his life to physics, he knew better than anyone what this cold metal meant.

This means that textbooks will be rewritten, and that humanity's energy utilization will undergo a radical revolution.

He suddenly raised his head and stared intently at the bored young man in the corner of the stage.

It was the look of someone looking at a monster, the look of a believer looking up at a god.

He used all his strength to ask the question that had been swirling in everyone's mind.

"Child, what...what have you done?"

Bai Che finally ended his daydreaming.

He looked at the old academician who was on the verge of collapse, at the countless pairs of eyes below the stage filled with fanaticism, worship, and fear, then at Wang Tao backstage who was completely dumbfounded, and at Su Wanqing who was staring at him with an unprecedentedly burning gaze.

He felt a little annoyed.

It's just a flexible battery, right? Is it really that big of a deal? The system documentation clearly states that it utilizes the energy conduction effect of spatial curvature at the microscopic level, with virtually no heat loss.

It's very basic knowledge.

He finally stood up straight, facing the spotlight, and picked up the microphone that had been lying to his side.

He cleared his throat, then smiled slightly at Academician Zhang Chengping in his usual calm, even somewhat lazy voice.

"Oh, this."

"It's just a few minor optimizations."
