I live in the Martian wilderness!

Xuan Xiang watched a movie fast-forwarded ten thousand times, quickly capturing dozens of frames!

Before Gu Yu's eyes, a torrent of densely packed blue drawings flashed by.

But in that fleeting moment, Xuanjian used all his strength to extract dozens of images and display them on the electronic screen.

【Tai Chi String Engine】!

Those weren't complete parts drawings; they were more like "technical catalogs" and "design concept" diagrams.

Those in the know can immediately see the terrifying wisdom contained within.

On one of the images was a symmetrical magnetic field confinement model, like a work of art, with a formula that Gu Yu had never seen before, but he knew it must be a mathematical formula.

Another image shows a needle-sized crystalline fuel pellet with a perfect icosahedral structure, next to which is a schematic diagram of its atomic stacking.

Another diagram shows a complex energy conversion process, where energy bursts from a single point and is ultimately converted into pure electric current with almost no loss.

"Lieutenant Colonel...I saw it..." Xuanjian's voice was broken and intermittent, but it was filled with barely suppressed excitement!

"Although the formula systems are different, I can understand its logic, but I cannot understand its efficiency."

"According to their formula, the energy conversion rate of heavy ion ignition is 99.99%... This is simply a miracle under the second law of thermodynamics!"

"Unless... their vacuum zero-point energy constant is slightly different from ours."

It enlarged three key screenshots and marked them with flashing red boxes.

"Lieutenant Colonel, please look at the first picture. They call it [Taiyi Xuanjin]." Xuanjian's voice was filled with disbelief.

"Scientists at the High Pressure Center of Jilin University have spent decades synthesizing micrograms of 'metallic hydrogen' in an instantaneous manner using a diamond anvil cell."

"We're still struggling to manufacture them, while they... have already entered engineering applications! They've become storable and transportable, pinhead-sized—ultimate munitions!"

Gu Yu's throat felt a little dry. Of course he knew about metallic hydrogen, the "holy grail" that the geophysicists had been dreaming of.

A kind of ultimate energy storage material that exists only in the core of Jupiter, or can only be produced instantaneously at the microgram level by placing two diamonds together and applying millions of times atmospheric pressure in a national-level laboratory.

However, on the other side's blueprints, it was packaged like a grain of rice in standard fuel pellets. It was no longer a divine substance existing only in theory, but a bullet produced on an assembly line.

"We have the ammunition, but we still need the trigger!" Xuanjian immediately switched to the second image, "【Two Elements Gathering Stars】This is what they call the 'Z-Pinch' pulse magnetic field! This size..."

"my country's 'Julong-1' submersible in Mianyang requires an experimental hall the size of a football field and a city-level power grid to conduct a discharge of tens of millions of amperes."

"And they... have miniaturized it to the size of a Boeing 747 engine!"

"This means we no longer need the electricity of an entire city to pull the trigger. Instead, we have a mobile trigger capable of instantly releasing tens of millions of amperes of current!"

The size of a 747 engine shocked Gu Yu! Because this was no longer a national-level scientific research marvel, but a conventional power unit that could be installed on a spacecraft!

"Furthermore," Xuanjian's voice suddenly rose, "this spark plug for ignition, the Seven Luminaries Sharp Arrow... this is an application of 'heavy ion beam' ignition technology!"

"my country's 'Shenguang Heavy Ion Beam Facility' in Shanghai is still using hundreds of high-energy laser beams to 'bake' a fuel target from all directions, and a large amount of energy is lost in the process."

"The Seven Luminaries Sharp Arrow, also known as the 'Heavy Ion Beam'... It can penetrate any spark plug and instantly transfer the full power of the trigger to the core of 'Metallic Hydrogen' without any loss!"

"Ammunition, triggers, spark plugs..." Xuanjian concluded this technological massacre with a single sentence.

"Lieutenant Colonel, this is an impeccable energy loop! Current nuclear fusion research on Earth is exploring three different doors, and we don't know which one is the right exit."

"And they... they not only opened these three doors simultaneously, but also paved a broad road to energy freedom for us behind them!"

Gu Yu looked at the three technologies that only existed in the theories of the most advanced physics laboratories on Earth, but now they were clearly displayed on the blueprints like mature industrial products.

He felt his breathing becoming difficult, as if his chest was being compressed by immense pressure.

Xuanjian is right. With these three technologies realized, the "theoretical feasibility" of miniaturized fusion engines has been established. What remains are engineering challenges.

With these three technologies, overcoming the miniaturization of controlled nuclear fusion will be a simple matter of "just copying it, isn't that easy!"

Not to mention that behind it lies a complete 120TB engine database!

He suppressed his elation, and his instincts as a top engineer compelled him to immediately begin asking about the most critical performance metrics.

"Damn!" His voice trembled slightly with excitement. "What are the parameters? Quick! Calculate the engine's performance parameters based on these screenshots! What's the maximum thrust? What's the specific impulse?"

"...Initially analyzing the magnetic field constraint equations of the [Two Elements Convergence] to calculate its maximum pulse power..."

"...Analyzing the ion acceleration gradient of the [Seven Luminaries Sharp Arrow] and calculating its jet velocity..."

"...Based on the energy density of [Taiyi Xuanjin], we are establishing a mass-energy conversion efficiency model..."

The calculations were proceeding rapidly, but after only a dozen seconds, Xuanjian's voice suddenly showed a hint of... hesitation.

"Lieutenant Colonel... Model... Model cannot converge."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yu was taken aback.

"The data... there's too little data, Lieutenant Colonel. I've only unzipped a few dozen catalog-style screenshots so far, lacking the most crucial underlying physics formulas."

"I...I cannot construct a complete, self-consistent mathematical model."

"There are logical gaps in the data... making comprehensive calculation impossible... Conclusion... The conclusion is... there is too little data to calculate at this time..."

Just then, Xuanjian's behavior suddenly became extremely abnormal!

It seems that it encountered an intractable logical singularity while trying to understand this "out-of-scope" data.

The entire system instantly slid from "solution failure" to "cognitive collapse"!

It stopped performing any analysis, and its voice became a mechanical, emotionless tone, frantically repeating the same sentence.

"...An unexpected technological achievement beyond our comprehension has been detected...Threat level: Unknown..."

"According to Article 1 of the 'Sky Dome AI Core Behavioral Guidelines'... Initiate the highest priority reporting procedure... Report to Sky Dome... Report to Sky Dome... Must report to Sky Dome immediately..."

Its sound grew faster and more distorted, as if it had triggered some kind of deep-seated, uncontrollable code instruction.

This is the final safety protocol set up for AI when it encounters a "singularity" event that is enough to overturn its own cognitive system—immediately seek help from "the heavens"!

"Xuan! Calm down! Xuan!" Gu Yu shouted, but the AI ​​was completely trapped in a logical loop and couldn't hear his commands at all.

"An unexpected outcome... must be reported to the Sky Firmament..."

At the same time, the burning sensation in Gu Yu's temples was no longer scalding hot, but a sharp pain like being pierced by steel needles!

Gu Yu could clearly feel the crackling sound of countless neurons being burned out deep in his brain under the overload of information flood!

The instinct for survival overwhelmed all thought; he turned abruptly and stumbled toward the small medical unit in the corner of the command cabin.

He pushed open the bathroom door, turned on the tap, and set the water temperature to the lowest setting—it was purified water close to freezing!

"Whoosh—!!!"

The biting cold instantly poured over his head, relieving the burning pain immediately!

Under the combined effects of low temperature and the [Carbon Fixation Breathing] ability, his almost boiling brain finally got a moment's respite.

The biochip, as hot as a red-hot iron, was being cooled extremely slowly by the forced cooling effect of ice water...
