Rejecting Tsinghua and Peking Universities: I Will Lead Harbin Institute of Technology to World Lead

The small courtyard at Harbin Institute of Technology, weathered by time, once again became Lin Feng's silent battlefield for tackling cutting-edge problems. The two things he brought back from the Earth's core—a few dim fragments of the Titan's Heart and all the data recording the mysterious script—were like two cold magnets, firmly attracting all his scientific research enthusiasm.

The system simulates a space with a time flow rate of 1:100; this is his most powerful weapon.

The primary objective was the fragment of the Titan's Heart, which emanated an alluring lingering energy. Lin Feng's consciousness constructed a perfect microscopic model of the fragment in the pure white space, drawing upon all known knowledge of physics, chemistry, and materials science, supplemented by scattered energy technology data collected from the ruins of Atlantis, to begin a long and meticulous reverse engineering process.

Energy spectrum analysis, atomic arrangement simulation, lattice structure reconstruction, energy rheological trajectory tracing… each fragment is like an encrypted black box about high-density energy. Failure is the norm; the model collapses time and time again, and the energy reaction deviates from expectations time and time again. But Lin Feng has long been accustomed to this process of finding the only path among billions of possibilities.

While several months may pass outside, several years may have passed within the system space.

Finally, after countless simulations, optimizations, and verifications, a corner of the black box was pried open, revealing the astonishing outline of its core principles.

"I see..." Inside the system space, Lin Feng looked at the finalized theoretical model, his eyes gleaming. "This is not a simple battery or fuel, but a pseudo-vacuum zero-point energy field confinement and slow release device based on a special crystal structure!"

He further elaborated on his discovery: "At its core is a carbon-silicon composite lattice with an ultra-stable topological order, formed by specific elements under the catalysis of a star's core energy field in an environment of extreme pressure and high temperature at the Earth's core. This lattice can create and maintain an extremely small, controllable local energy fluctuation field within itself, from which energy is slowly and continuously extracted and released in the form of a highly ordered stream of photons. The energy density is extremely high, the output is extremely stable, and there is almost no fuel consumption in the conventional sense, only the slow fatigue decay of the lattice structure itself, which takes hundreds of millions of years."

This explains why the Heart of Titan was able to sustain the Atlantean civilization for millennia and serve as the power core for portable high-energy weapons. Essentially, it is a super converter that purifies and slowly releases cosmic background energy, rather than a storage medium.

"The theory is complete, the energy conversion efficiency model is self-consistent...it's feasible!" Lin Feng made his judgment. Although with humanity's current industrial level, it's almost impossible to reproduce that extreme Earth core environment and star core catalysis under natural conditions, now that the principle is clear, alternative paths can be sought. For example, using fusion reactors to simulate high-pressure, high-temperature environments, using strong energy fields in specific frequency bands for induced growth, or... trying to synthesize Titan-like materials with similar properties but slightly lower but quantifiable energy density.

"This could absolutely serve as the ultimate energy core or emergency energy pack for China's future cutting-edge equipment," Lin Feng outlined its promising applications. "Whether it's a starship, a large ground facility, or an individual soldier's armor, equipping it with even a small piece would be enough to provide energy for critical systems to operate for an extended period in the event of a fusion reactor failure or a power line being cut off. This would greatly enhance the equipment's survivability and sustained combat capability."

Even more ingeniously, in the process of deciphering the principles of Titan's Heart, Lin Feng's thinking extended to an even more disruptive civilian field—transportation.

"Such an efficient, stable, clean, and miniaturized energy core... isn't it the ultimate answer to achieving personalized, three-dimensional, zero-emission urban transportation?" A spark of inspiration ignited in his mind.

Based on the energy principle of the Heart of Titan, and combined with mature magnetic levitation, vector propulsion, and artificial intelligence navigation technologies, we designed a personal aircraft capable of vertical take-off and landing and safe low-altitude flight—the Hovering Car!

The main technical challenges lie in the miniaturization and safety of the energy core, as well as the complex low-altitude traffic control system. However, for China, which has just cracked the principle of the energy stone and possesses Pangu artificial intelligence and a mature automated industrial system, these challenges are precisely the areas that can be overcome.

"System, simulate the feasibility of a personal magnetic levitation aircraft based on Titan Heart energy." Lin Feng once again entered the system space.

This time, the goal is clear, and the path is relatively straightforward. The design of the energy core has been greatly simplified, focusing on safe, controllable, and cost-effective low-power continuous output; the aircraft structure draws on the aerodynamics of the Fuxi fighter jet and the stabilization system of the Baihu armor; navigation and obstacle avoidance rely entirely on the low-altitude intelligent transportation network built by Pangu, which will cover the entire country in the future.

Five years have passed in the system space, but only a little over half a month has passed in the outside world.

A detailed and feasible "Pengcheng Series Personal Hovercraft Technology White Paper" took shape in Lin Feng's mind. It may not have the cool futuristic feel of the movies, but it is absolutely safe and practical, enough to completely change the way humans travel, liberating urban transportation from a two-dimensional plane to a three-dimensional space.

Without delay, Lin Feng immediately compiled the white paper, along with the preliminary preparation ideas for the Titan Heart energy core, into a top-secret technical report and submitted it to Elder Li through encrypted channels.

These two significant gifts—the energy heart and the future of transportation—are enough to elevate China's technological and social development to an unimaginable level.

Shortly after Lin Feng sent out the report, exciting good news also came from the Earth's core.

"The first phase of the Houtu Project, including prototype planetary generators No. 1, 2, and 3, has all successfully ignited and is operating stably!"

"The Earth Vein Conduction Network's main node has completed its first intercontinental energy transmission test, achieving an efficiency of 98.7% of the design value!"

"Geocentric energy has been successfully connected to the power grids of Northwest, Southwest, and North China, and has begun experimental power supply! The energy supply curve is stable without any fluctuations!"

Deep within the Earth, the near-eternal, surging power originating from the planet's core has finally been tamed by the engineering wisdom of China, transformed into a flowing stream of clean energy that flows along man-made geological veins, nourishing the very fabric of our nation. This means that the energy constraints that have plagued human civilization for millennia have been broken, first and foremost in China! From this day forward, Chinese factories will possess inexhaustible power, city lights will never again be extinguished, and the energy foundation for interstellar travel will be most firmly guaranteed!

A truly limitless energy era has begun in China!

【Ding! 】

That familiar notification sound once again rang gently in the deepest part of Lin Feng's consciousness.

[The Earth's core energy terraforming system, developed under the host's leadership, has been successfully manufactured and is operating stably in the real world.]

[Project rewards are now being distributed...]

[Reward: Core theoretical knowledge of light-speed warships]

[Description: This is a foundational and landmark technology for the interstellar travel era. It provides a complete theoretical and fundamental engineering blueprint, including a curvature-driven theoretical system that transcends the current framework of human physical understanding, field resonance energy shields, technology for relatively stable time flow within the ship, the principle of faster-than-light communication, and integrated solutions for ecological circulation and hibernation systems.]

Information from the sphere of light poured forth like a galaxy, instantly overwhelming Lin Feng's consciousness. He saw the colossal warship, several kilometers long, with streamlined curves and its surface covered with strange energy field generators; he saw space compressed at the bow and stretched at the stern, forming a unique curvature bubble; he saw how the warship, in this ingenious way, traversed the vast starry sea, measured in light-years, without violating the theory of relativity…

This isn't science fiction; it's a logically rigorous, self-contained, and clearly defined key—a key to the stars, though incredibly difficult to implement, it's theoretically feasible!

Inside the system space, Lin Feng's consciousness stood quietly, gazing at the slowly unfolding blueprint of the light-speed warship, his heart surging with emotion, unable to contain himself.

Earth's core energy allowed civilization to break free from the constraints of its home planet.

This blueprint truly points the vision and progress of civilization beyond the solar system to that cold, dark, yet infinitely possible and mysterious... boundless deep space.

The next stop on the journey to the stars has already appeared on the horizon, revealing its distant and magnificent outline.

The speed of light is no longer an unattainable dream, but the starting line for the next great journey...
