Chapter 236 - 236: Atomic Grade Metal Material Analysis

“According to Red Lotus’s simulation, this device had been able to produce all types of metal materials known at that time.
It was very comprehensive.
You just had to pour the metal ore into it, input the smelting process, and the device would automatically produce alloys.
It sounded great.
But the question was, what was the difference between this device and the current ones? Was it more efficient, smarter, more advanced?
But once the material process required something special, and if this device couldn’t meet the process requirements, or if it didn’t have that kind of process built in, wouldn’t that have been a waste?
He had to be mistaken, this thing was not any metal smelting equipment.
Rather, it was akin to an STC module in the Warhammer world.
Except, what he had made, was like a simplified bankrupt beggar version of a standard alloy STC module.
“Red Lotus, why is materials science so tricky? My requirements weren’t too high, just to be able to decrypt reinforced materials, but why didn’t it work?” Tang Rui had complained to Red Lotus with a pained expression.
“Master, why didn’t you try making a metal material process reverse engineering device?” Red Lotus had carefully suggested after listening.
Uh…
Tang Rui had been stunned after hearing this.
It seemed like…
Probably…
It should have been possible.
Then why hadn’t he thought of it before.
Slap slap slap…
Tang Rui had slapped himself several times on the face.
He’d been really stupid.
He had outdone himself with stupidity.
“Master, it’s not that bad, really not that bad.” Red Lotus had hurriedly controlled a robot to stop the self-harming master.
“Give me various components, I’m going to make the device now,” Tang Rui had declared.
“Okay, Master,” Red Lotus had responded.
Soon.
Red Lotus had prepared a large pile of components, having a robot stand next to Tang Rui with them.
Tang Rui had sat at the workbench and begun to create a material formula and process analysis device.
Red Lotus’s idea had been good.
He had also thought of a way to make this device.
First, he needed to make a device capable of analyzing the atomic structure and elemental composition of metal materials.
Secondly, he needed a computational software, which was key to reverse engineering materials and processes.
Just like the subconscious learning device he had made before.
The core was software.
This software had also been easy to write, just needing to fill in relevant materials science computing codes.
Red Lotus could handle it, no need for him to do it.
The device was also easy to make.
All components had been ready-made, he just needed to assemble them.
In less than two hours, Tang Rui had completed a device the size of a dishwasher.
Red Lotus had also imported the materials science computing software program.
After finishing these, Tang Rui tightened the last screw.
Swoosh!
A faint light flashed.
[Item: Pseudo-Material Formula and Process Analysis Device]
[Experience: 0/600]
[Origin Points: 988.36]
After Tang Rui had glanced at the system panel, he began to enhance it, not just once but to the maximum.
As over three hundred source points were spent, the exterior of the device had displayed a new illusionary image, then solidified at a visible speed.
Swoosh!
When the illusionary image had solidified, a golden light had flashed momentarily around the device.
The device was enhanced.
Now, this device, having been reduced from the size of a dishwasher to that of a microwave, had shrunk by more than one-third.
The original ugly metal shell and shape had also transformed into a white sci-fi design with a ceramic texture.
Tang Rui hadn’t cared about these.
He had focused on the system panel on the device.
[Item: Atomic-Level Metal Material Computational Analysis Device]
[Experience: 0/760000]
[Enhancement: Atomic-Level Metal Material Analysis System]
[Attributes: Material Analysis Precision Increased by 180%, Material Analysis Speed Increased by 160%, Material Optimization Performance Improved by 120%, Material Comparative Extension Capability Increased by 100%]
[Origin Points: 637.36]
After he had finished reviewing the system panel’s data, he had laughed.
It had been worth spending so many source points.
Materials would no longer be an issue from then on, as long as the material’s smelting process did not break through the atomic level, this device could analyze it.
As for materials involving electron or neutron levels, those were not something he could have used then.
Materials at an atomic level would be enough.
“Red Lotus, take out the materials from the warehouse,” Tang Rui had said to Red Lotus.
He had strengthened many devices before, and all the materials used for strengthening had been kept in the warehouse.
With the system panel, as long as there were experience points, any damage to the equipment could have been repaired.
He had even kept a copy of the materials used for machine tool drill bits.
Unfortunately, for such a long time, the unlucky researchers in the materials laboratory hadn’t decrypted even the high-temperature-resistant alloys, let alone other materials.
Now, these materials he had saved had finally found their use.
Soon, Red Lotus brought all the stored materials.
Tang Rui had casually taken a material sample, put it into the analysis device, and clicked start.
Swoosh!
Red Lotus, connected to the device, had directly simulated the analysis data in a holographic projection.
In front of Tang Rui, the atomic structure of this metal material had been clearly displayed.
Various parameters and data were also shown next to it.
And the data kept refreshing.
Without the need for a counter-lock test, this device could have directly used algorithms based on the atomic data of metal materials to deduce material properties, just like solving a math problem.
“Red Lotus, did you copy this algorithm?” Tang Rui had turned to ask Red
Lotus..
