“Red Lotus, bring up the data from earlier.

“Yes, Master.”

The needle-shaped magnetic field on the holographic projection truly opened Tang Rui’s eyes. It was his first time witnessing such a magnetic field.

Simultaneously, the various data related to this magnetic field sparked a burst of inspiration in him.

“Red Lotus, adjust the equipment. Reduce the magnetic field strength and try

again,” Tang Rui instructed.

“Yes, Master.”

Weng!

Following Tang Rui’s command, Red Lotus adjusted the settings and restarted

the equipment to conduct the experiment.

This time, the holographic projection didn’t show a needle-shaped magnetic field but rather a cylindrical one, as thick as a thumb.

This…

Tang Rui was astounded.

This wasn’t what he had expected. Ultimately, he had stumbled upon a new

type of magnetic field. Fascinating.

This was the allure of scientific research.

You never know what discoveries might emerge from seemingly aimless experimentation.

This is because reality doesn’t always align with your expectations. In fact, your assumptions could be entirely contrary to the experimental outcomes.

-Red Lotus, decrease the strength by another ten teslas and re-test.”

“Yes, Master.”

Red Lotus promptly made the adjustments.

Weng!

The equipment whirred to life once more.

This time, the magnetic field on the holographic screen remained cylindrical but grew thicker.

It became thicker!

Intriguing.

“Red Lotus, run a simulation. What would happen if we inject high-temperature plasma into this magnetic field?

“Yes, Master.”

in Red Lotus’s simulation, high-temperature plasma currents were infused into the magnetic field, yet they were completely contained within it.

A glowing pillar of light emerged on the holographic projection.

A light sword?

A Jedi Knight’s lightsaber, perhaps?

Interesting.

“Red Lotus, simulate using this light sword to cut through various materials

and observe the effects.”

“Yes, Master.”

in the simulation conducted by Red Lotus, the light sword effortlessly pierced through most materials. Anything unable to withstand the magnetic field melted under the heat of the high-temperature plasma.

Thus, the light sword sliced through most materials as easily as a hot knife through butter.

Only materials resistant to the magnetic field remained unaffected by the plasma. However, only another, stronger magnetic field could provide such resistance.

In essence, this could serve as a weapon.

Yet, this was all theoretical. Realizing such an effect required immense energy, making it challenging to maintain the plasma’s high-energy state.

Consequently, this concept was viable only in simulation.

After reviewing the data, Tang Rui had Red Lotus record these simulated findings before halting the simulation.

He then further reduced the magnetic field strength, curious to see the outcome.

This time, he decreased it by 30 teslas.

Weng!

As the device activated, the cylindrical magnetic field reappeared. However, this time it had transformed into a flat cylinder. Its diameter had expanded tenfold, while its height shrank to a fifth of its original size.

Moreover, the magnetic field’s outer edge began to spread.

This magnetic field resembled an electromagnetic well and a magnetic cage but also differed from them.

■■Red Lotus, adjust the parameters and switch to Deflection Field Mode.”

“Yes, Master.”

Weng!

Upon activation, the magnetic field failed to form a coherent structure, resulting in a chaotic, unsealed magnetic field.

This left Tang Rui perplexed and slightly frustrated.

Logically, this outcome was unexpected.

The cylindrical magnetic field had previously maintained a strong outer layer, akin to a deflecting force field. Why then did it falter upon merging the two.

What went wrong?

“Red Lotus, adjust again…”

A day passed, yielding numerous discoveries. Tang Rui had mastered control over the needle-shaped magnetic field but remained clueless about its integration.

After days of studying magnetic fields, he began seeing everything through that lens.

Even during his workout with Li Shuyao at night, the motion of the mountains seemed to him like shifts in a magnetic field.

Enough was enough. He couldn’t take it anymore. He wanted to cheat.

His research continued.

If he didn’t find a breakthrough soon, he felt he might go insane.

His previous work on quantum information transmission hadn’t been this challenging since it was more about summarizing physical laws rather than inventing something new.

This magnetic field fusion was entirely his own concept, with no prior reference.

The next day, Tang Rui had Hong Lian prepare various electromagnetic equipment accessories. He aimed to integrate all the magnetic fields into a single device, then enhance it.

After more than two hours, an unsightly, Frankenstein-like device was assembled.

[Item: Multi-functional Magnetic Field Control Device]

[Experience: 0/1000]

[Origin Points: 782.58]

Despite its unappealing appearance, the device’s functions were satisfactory. However, it could only utilize one magnetic field function at a time, limiting its usefulness.

He opted for enhancement.

Whoosh!

A flash of blue light signified the equipment’s upgrade.

He didn’t need to advance to the third stage of enhancement. Special strengthening alone achieved the desired effect.

[Item: Integrated Magnetic Field Control Device]

[Origin Points: 0/5200]

[Enhancements: Sensing Device (Special), Controller (Special), Automatic Controller (Special), Safety Device]

[Attributes: Magnetic Field Strength increased by 60%, Magnetic Flux increased by 50%, Energy Consumption of Magnetic Field reduced by 40%]

[Remaining Origin Points: 746.58]

The upgrade cost only a few dozen origin points.

After inspecting the system panel, Tang Rui had Red Lotus project the blueprints and program code for the new device..
