Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 449 Energy Circuit: I would call it the Highly Efficient Reappearance of Orug.

"I see. If we can utilize this energy flow loop, perhaps we can..." Shen Yun looked at the changing energy flow loop within Orgu's body as he conjured coal ball missiles out of thin air, a thoughtful expression appearing in his eyes.

"But how do we collect this evil energy?"

Shen Yun scratched his head. Was he going to go with Jiao Jiao to snatch the pool of green foamy liquid left behind after Orgu was destroyed?

The problem is that even if they managed to snatch it from Jiaojiao, the evil energy contained in that pool of green foamy liquid would be limited.

Shen Yun shook his head, putting the question aside for the time being, and continued watching the footage recorded by the instrument.

Soon, Shen Yun noticed a key point and pondered, "When the Orgu activates its special ability, it's the horns on its heads that come into play..."

"Horns..." Shen Yun said, his eyes suddenly lighting up. He clenched his left fist and slammed it into his palm, saying, "That's right! As long as we use the horns on Orgu's head, can't we extract the evil energy from Orgu's body? As long as we take it easy and don't drain Orgu dry in one go, won't the evil energy be endless?"

Mass-producing Orug is much faster than collecting it yourself.

I would call it highly efficient!

Moreover, without the evil energy, the Orgu would be unable to use their special abilities and would be unable to cause any trouble.

"It's worth a try." Shen Yun knew that there were certain risks involved, but this was the best solution known at the moment.

Unless he can find a way to create a device that can automatically collect the evil energy wandering between heaven and earth.

Otherwise, he would have no choice but to exploit Orug.

"However, these are things to be done in the future. The most important thing now is to build the energy flow loop and see if we can utilize the evil energy through this energy flow loop." After noting down this idea, Shen Yun conducted experiments based on the changes in the energy flow loop detected by the instrument.

Soon, Shen Yun reconstructed the same energy circuit using existing materials, based on the changes in the energy flow circuit of the left arm when the charcoal fire burned the Orug and sprayed flames. He then installed it in the experimental site.

After completing all this, Shen Yun left the experimental site and remotely controlled the robotic arm, stuffing the last bit of evil energy into the energy circuit as a driving force.

"Buzz~"

All the evil energy was transferred into the energy loop, and wherever the evil energy passed, streaks of azure light lit up.

As these streaks of azure light converged at the nozzle of the energy loop, a beam of fire shot out from the nozzle.

However, the flames lasted only a few seconds before the makeshift energy circuit exploded, sending metal fragments flying everywhere.

"The energy circuit within Orgu's body can indeed be utilized. But why did it fail? Is it due to inferior materials? Or is the energy circuit incomplete?" Shen Yun stared into deep thought as he looked at the energy circuit that had been reduced to fragments.

"We still need to do a lot of experiments," Shen Yun sighed.

If he had a live Orgu for his research, his progress would definitely be much faster.

However, the data and information provided by Orugu through the charcoal fire could keep the research going for a while.

"Anyway, let's collect these fragments first; maybe we can find something from them."

Shen Yun entered the experimental site and picked up all the scattered fragments from the ground. Then, he took the fragments back to the experimental table, intending to analyze the cause of the explosion.

Just then, a faint sound of footsteps came from behind, and Shen Yun turned his gaze to look.

Tidom walked into the lab, smiled at Shen Yun, and asked, "Mr. Shen, did I disturb you?"

"No, is there anything I can help you with, Tidom?" Shen Yun asked with a smile.

"Honestly, Shen Jun, you've forgotten the time again, haven't you? It's almost 7 p.m. I came to call you for dinner." Tidom sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

"Is it already this late? I'm coming right now." Shen Yun smiled, put down the fragment in his hand, and left the laboratory with Tidom.

Stepping out of the laboratory, the sky outside was not yet completely dark; a blood-red setting sun cast a crimson glow on the clouds.

The restaurant was brightly lit, with crystal chandeliers emitting a warm hue.

When Shen Yun arrived at the restaurant and saw the dishes laid out on the table, she exclaimed in surprise, "Oh? Is curry for dinner tonight?"

"Yeah, I saw curry rice on TV and it looked really good, so I tried making it myself. It tasted pretty good!" Tidom nodded and said with a smile.

"Not bad. Although it's your first time making this, it looks really delicious," Shen Yun praised.

As he spoke, Shen Yun sat down in his seat. Golden curry broth was poured over the semi-circular rice, and the tender beef was covered with curry broth. Potatoes and carrots were soaked in the curry broth and indistinguishable from each other.

In addition to the beef curry, there was a plate of chopped cabbage and a piece of pre-cut fried pork chop on the side of the plate.

Moreover, judging from the cross-section of the fried pork cutlet, it should be made of pork tenderloin. The crispy crust covering the tenderloin is only a thin layer, and the tender meat juice is constantly flowing out along the cut.

"Hmph, my cooking skills are quite good." Tidom chuckled and sat down opposite Shen Yun.

As soon as he sat down, Tidom looked up at Shen Yun and said, "By the way, Mr. Shen, you should remember what you said at noon, right?"

"At noon?" Shen Yun was taken aback at first, then immediately remembered and smiled, "Of course I remember, it was about teaching you how to use the internet tonight. I'll teach you after dinner."

"Then it's settled!" Tidom said happily.

"I wouldn't go back on my word for something so trivial," Shen Yun said with a wry smile.

He's not a typical Chinese parent who views games and the internet as something terrible.

However, Shen Yun did pay a little attention when it came to going online.

Generally speaking, there is no internet firewall on the external network, and all sorts of random things can be found on the internet.

To ensure Tidom's healthy internet use, some unhealthy content needs to be filtered out beforehand.

For some netizens whose values ​​are not yet fully formed and who cannot distinguish right from wrong, the Great Firewall is truly a great protection.

Those who can bypass the Great Firewall are basically people whose values ​​are already formed and will not be affected by it at all.

After all, they went over the wall to get GHS (Gross Sexual Activity).

As for those who can't even climb over a wall...

You can't even climb over a wall, what are you doing with colors? Go back to your studies.

After dinner, Shen Yun and Tidom washed the dishes together. Then Shen Yun took Tidom to the laboratory and borrowed the computer in his lab, teaching Tidom how to surf the internet step by step.

The first step is to get Tidom to recognize the keyboard. Japanese keyboards have two input methods: Japanese input method and Romanization input method.

Each key on a Japanese keyboard is labeled with a hiragana character. You can input the character by pressing the key corresponding to the hiragana character. Hiragana and katakana can also be switched.

While teaching Tidom to recognize the keyboard layout, Shen Yun also used the artificial intelligence in the computer to filter some information on the internet.

Tidom learned quickly and soon figured out the keyboard layout.

Seeing this, Shen Yun immediately let Tidom take over.

As a computer novice, Tidhomme also used the classic one-finger typing method, typing one key at a time.

Watching Tidom glance up at the computer screen, then look down again to identify the letter keys, typing them one by one with his index finger, Shen Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

Seeing this scene, he recalled his first experience with a computer, when he also typed with one finger.

For beginners, it will take a long time to practice typing fluently.

Soon, Tidom used a one-finger input method to type the words "huge beast" into Yahoo's search engine.

In an instant, numerous web pages appeared before Tidom, offering a variety of information.

However, most of these are similar or false information.

However, this was still quite shocking for an ancient person from a thousand years ago.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Tidom browsed Yahoo, her pretty face full of excitement.

In 1999, Yahoo! was at its zenith in Japan; the combined traffic of Livedoor and Google was less than a fraction of Yahoo!'s.

However, after browsing through a few of the search results, Tidom discovered that these articles had absolutely no connection to Powermon.

"Why are they all fake news?" Tidom frowned and said.

"The information on the internet is very complex. If you want to find the information you want, the keywords must be specific and accurate," Shen Yun advised.

As he spoke, Shen Yun walked to Tidom's side, pushed Tidom aside, deleted a few words from the search bar, and re-entered the keywords "giant beast, ghost, legend, a thousand years ago" before searching.

The content retrieved from the website also changed accordingly, with stories of a hundred demons from the Heian period, yokai anime, and more presented to Tidom.

"Oh, I see!" Tidom exclaimed excitedly, his face lighting up with realization.

"Besides search engines, there are forums like 2ch, where you can use the help of netizens to find relevant information." Shen Yun then opened 2ch, a Japanese forum.

2ch is Japan's largest comprehensive forum, founded in May 1999. Although it has only been established for less than two months, there are already quite a few active users on the forum.

2ch holds a similar position in Japan to websites like Tianya, Mop, and Tieba.

Because it has only been established for less than two months, there are still very few posts on 2ch.

Shen Yun simply created a post on 2ch, explained his findings, and then clicked publish.

The appearance of a new post quickly attracted netizens on 2ch, who began to comment on the post.

The comments on the thread were piling up quickly. Tidom browsed through the messages, wanting to reply, but her typing speed couldn't keep up.

"This is really interesting!" Tidom exclaimed excitedly as he browsed the messages that kept appearing below the post.

Seeing Tidom's expression, Shen Yun couldn't help but smile.

That's how it was when he first came into contact with Baidu Tieba.

Every time I use the computer, the first thing I do is open a webpage and browse online forums to see if there's anything interesting.

Back then, most netizens on the internet were very friendly, and it was common for experienced users to help newbies.

However, with the development of the times, the hostility on the Internet has become increasingly heavy, and spreading rumors, inciting wars, and selling weapons have become very common.

"Take your time playing. I still have research to do. If you don't understand anything, just ask me." Shen Yun patted Tidom's head and smiled.

"Mhm!" Tidom stared at the message on the virtual screen in front of him and nodded repeatedly.

Shen Yun smiled slightly, turned around and went to his experimental table, picked up the fragments of the energy circuit explosion, and began to analyze them.

Soon, Shen Yun noticed something amiss: the places where the energy circuits passed through these recycled metal fragments showed signs of wear.

"So it really is a material issue?" Shen Yun pondered for a moment.

The alloy he used, while not the kind of alien-tech alloy found in the worlds of Kamen Rider and Ultraman, is still considered one of the best available on the market.

Even so, it didn't last long before it exploded.

"If we're talking about alloys... should we use Pedanium alloy? Or Gundanium alloy? Or Luna alloy? Or Adamantium alloy?" Shen Yun pondered, with many options in his mind.

These alloys could be used to create energy circuits if he wanted to.

"Let's get some of them out and try them out, so we can see which one is the most suitable." Shen Yun shook his head. The suitable material is determined through experimentation and comparison.

He knew the formulas for these alloys, so manufacturing them wasn't difficult.

However, smelting these alloys requires some preparation in advance, so it's impossible to start now.

Moreover, he had already used up all the evil energy he had extracted from that test tube of green foamy liquid.

The little bit of solution he previously inserted into the energy circuit was the last bit of evil energy.

His current work involves perfecting the energy circuits and trying to create a device to extract evil energy from the horns on Oruk's head.

Time passed slowly, and after the clock struck twelve, Shen Yun rubbed his temples, deciding to continue tomorrow.

Shen Yun glanced at Tidom, who was still browsing the 2ch forum with great interest, and sent her back to her room.

Surfing the internet is fine, but internet addiction is absolutely unacceptable.

……

The next morning, Shen Yun delivered a mobile phone to Wen Zuoweimen so that they could stay in touch at any time.

At the same time, Shen Yun also gave Tidom a homemade smartphone that could connect directly to the network in his laboratory.

Although its features were only a basic version compared to later smartphones, Tidhom was overjoyed to receive this smartphone.

Days passed by, and Shen Yun lived a simple life. In the morning, he smelted alloys; in the afternoon, he played games and watched TV with Tidom; and in the evening, he studied the energy circuit of Orgu and developed a device to extract Orgu's evil energy.

Time flies, and more than half a month has passed, bringing us to the beginning of July.

That day, a sudden, urgent alarm sounded inside the villa.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Tidom, who was enjoying the air conditioning and watching TV, immediately sat up when he heard the alarm and asked.

"An Orug has appeared," Shen Yun explained as he emerged from the laboratory after hearing the alarm.

Finally, Orgu has appeared!

Do you know how long I've been waiting? Almost a month and a half!
