The Academic Superstar's Research Summoning System

Chapter 36 Exclusive Research Laboratory

In the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the library at Hong Kong City University, casting dappled shadows on the floor.

Lu Feng sat by the window, with three thick books and a stack of draft paper filled with derivations spread out in front of him.

He is working on the third part of the blueprint for "Confinement and Shaping Technology of High-Energy Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields".

Modeling the dynamic behavior of plasma under the action of Lorentz force.

This part is even more abstract and complex than the previous two parts combined.

It is no longer a simple circuit design or magnetic field construction, but has delved into the realm of the fourth state of matter.

Plasma, an "ionized gas" composed of free electrons and ions with unpredictable behavior, exhibits extremely complex nonlinear effects in strong electromagnetic fields.

Skin effect, magnetohydrodynamic instability, Landau damping...

Behind each term lies a set of partial differential equations that could drive a physics PhD student crazy.

Lu Feng turned to the relevant chapter of "Introduction to Plasma Physics," compared it with the model on the drawing, and recalled the scattered fragments in his mind when Tesla and Newton debated "gauge fields" on the public channel, trying to piece the three together.

An hour later, he put down his pen.

Part Three, it's working now.

However, his joy didn't last long, because the hardest part wasn't that.

But when his gaze fell on the fourth part of the drawing, his brows furrowed again.

[Engineering Application of Electromagnetic Railgun Prototype]

He understood the theory, but putting it into practice was indeed very difficult.

From the topology of superconducting coils to the discharge control of picosecond pulses, and then to the dynamic behavior of plasma, he already has a complete mathematical model in his mind.

The problem is, how is this thing made?

Superconducting coils require a liquid nitrogen environment, picosecond-level pulse power supplies require specially made high-voltage capacitor arrays, not to mention the plasma confinement channel that serves as the "projectile," which has extremely high requirements for materials and processing precision.

These are all things that the three-axis CNC milling machine in Laboratory 302 cannot handle.

Even if he could draw up the blueprints for all the parts, there was nowhere to process and assemble them.

No matter how perfect a theory is, it is ultimately just empty talk.

Without the physical object, there's no sense of security in firing a shot.

Just as Lu Feng was feeling troubled by this, the familiar system notification sounded in his mind at just the right moment.

[The host has been detected to be facing a research bottleneck and lacks an advanced experimental environment.]

[Do you want to activate the "Private Research Lab"?]

[Private Research Laboratory: A secondary dimensional space independent of the real world, equipped with the highest level of research equipment and an unlimited supply of basic materials in the current timeline, accessible at any time. All powerful figures summoned by the host can enter this laboratory to work collaboratively.]

Independent space? Top-of-the-line equipment? Infinite materials? And they can even bring in Newton and Tesla to work on the project together?

"Activate!" Lu Feng said without hesitation.

[Activating the "Personalized Research Lab" requires: 12000 Learning Points and 4000 Mood Points.]

The expectation on Lu Feng's face froze instantly.

He quickly brought up his attribute panel.

Current learning value: 12050

Current mood score: 4050

"..."

Lu Feng's eye twitched.

System, did you quote a price based on my balance? You only left me 50 points for spending money?

Are you kidding me?

【ding~】

The system panel vibrated slightly and emitted a crisp notification sound, as if to say: That's right, that's it. Surprised? Unexpected?

Lu Feng's face darkened.

Are you laughing at me?

Good people don't fight with the system.

"Exchange!" he roared through gritted teeth.

[Learning points -12000, Emotional points -4000.]

[The "Dedicated Research Lab" is now open!]

The moment the words left his mouth, the world before Lu Feng's eyes shattered.

The next second, he found himself standing in a space that was larger than he could have imagined.

The dome is so high that its top is invisible, shimmering with a soft white light, and the ground is as smooth as a mirror.

In the distance, various pieces of equipment that Lufeng had only seen in top scientific journals stood quietly.

Five-axis machining center, high-precision laser etching machine, molecular beam epitaxy equipment, scanning tunneling microscope... In one corner, he even saw a miniaturized tokamak device.

Is this what a truly top-tier laboratory looks like?

With a thought, Lu Feng saw Newton and Tesla appear beside him almost simultaneously.

"My God!" Tesla stared at the scene before him, his handsome face, which always carried a hint of cynicism, now showing an expression of shock that left him speechless for the first time.

"Where...where am I? These devices...If I had had these back then, I could have built a global wireless power network in a week!"

Newton, on the other hand, appeared much calmer. He walked to a spectrometer, stroking its cool metal casing, but his eyes gleamed with intense passion.

"This place... might allow me to see for myself whether light is deflected when it passes through a gravitational field."

One focuses on creation, the other on verification.

Their completely different personalities were on full display at this moment.

"Gentlemen," Lu Feng began, drawing their attention, "from now on, this will be our home turf."

With a wave of his hand, a huge virtual screen unfolded in front of the three of them, displaying the complete blueprints for the electromagnetic railgun.

"The theory is complete; now, we need to turn it into reality."

Newton and Tesla were instantly drawn to the blueprints.

Ten minutes later, the three sat around a conference table made of light and shadow.

"I'm in charge of the power supply section," Tesla said first, pointing to the pulse discharge module on the drawing board with a sharp look in his eyes. "The existing capacitor array has too low energy storage density. I will redesign a flywheel energy storage system based on a rotating magnetic field, which can release megawatt-level peak power in nanoseconds."

"I'll handle the trajectory and materials issues," Newton said in a deep voice, his finger pointing to the orbital section. "When the plasma is ejected at high speed, it will cause violent arcing and ablation with the orbit. I need to build a multiphysics coupling model to calculate the optimal orbital material composition and cooling scheme to ensure that it doesn't melt on the first firing."

Lu Feng watched as the two big shots quickly got into the zone, and his heart was filled with pride.

He tapped the table and gave his final summary.

"Very good, then leave the rest of the overall design, structural fabrication, and control system to me."

He stood up, his gaze sweeping across the vast laboratory and over the two most brilliant stars in human history beside him.

"Well then, gentlemen,"

"Let's begin."
