"The Puppeteer of Academy City (

"Ladies and gentlemen, good morning! Welcome to Academy City!"

In the Grand Theater, the opening ceremony of Yiduanlan Festival was held as scheduled.

The speaker representing Academy City at the opening ceremony was a middle-aged man.

In Academy City, this man might not be well-known—most citizens even saw him for the first time.

The head of Haiyuan, the current head of Changdian Shangji Group, is a well-known man in the education and science circles.

Changdian Shangji Academy was originally the first of the five prestigious schools in Academy City; apart from the most famous high school, Changdian Shangji is a large-scale conglomerate covering many fields such as education and scientific research.

Coupled with this Yiduanlan Festival, Academy City's most important promotional achievement "perpetual motion machine" is a project of Changdian Shangji Academy.

Therefore, the master of Haiyuan got the chance to lead the opening ceremony.

There are countless universities and scientific research institutions in Academy City, and the research results released at the festival are naturally countless. According to the past practice, the so-called opening ceremony of Yiduanlan Festival is simply an "opening ceremony", and it is enough to find someone to come on stage and announce it-mainly for the news media from outside.

As for more detailed and specific dry goods, you have to go to various schools or research institutes to find out for yourself.

It was not the first time for many of the reporters present to participate in the reporting of Yiduanlan Festival, so they knew the routine very well.

But this year is different.

Academy City has just won the "Third World War", and is currently competing with "Gremlin" for the dominance of the science side with a great victory.

It is not difficult to imagine that this year's Yiduanlan Festival will inevitably have big news.

But no one expected that a big news would break out at the opening ceremony when Haiyuan was the master.

"...I believe everyone here has already heard about the 'Heart of Gold' project led by our school."

After reading the opening speech in a satisfactory manner, the head of Haiyuan did not step down, but continued to speak.

The audience was in an uproar.

Words such as "heart of gold" and "perpetual motion machine" appear frequently in various language versions.

In a sense, the development of "perpetual motion machine" is even more eye-catching than "World War III".

"The successful development of the 'Heart of Gold'-'Perpetual Motion Machine' is undoubtedly the greatest breakthrough in the history of mankind in this century, no, it should be the greatest breakthrough in the history of mankind!" Haiyuan said passionately, "Throughout history, human civilization is to use energy , a civilization that develops energy! And now, we have an 'inexhaustible' energy source!"

The head of Haiyuan started the first research results conference directly at the opening ceremony.

"...We, Academy City, will take this opportunity to push human civilization into a more brilliant future!"

The master Haiyuan waved vigorously, and a PPT was displayed on the huge screen behind him.

The title on the top is impressively written with four big characters - "Super City".

There are two types of inventions, pioneering inventions and transformational inventions.

The development of "perpetual motion machine" is undoubtedly the first.

But Academy City is best at the latter. That is to say, they can transform the latest research results into practical products at the fastest speed.

Academy City itself is the best example.

Similarly, after the "Perpetual Motion Machine Development Department" successfully produced the "Golden Heart", Academy City immediately mobilized and conducted in-depth research.

And quickly achieved a series of results.

The most important of these is the "super city".

A design drawing of a certain device was released on the screen.

"This is the blueprint of the 'perpetual motion machine'." Master Haiyuan introduced.

Immediately there was a flood of camera calls from the audience. Regardless of whether it was true or false, it was quite precious information, and it was important to record it first.

"Don't worry, everyone. We will distribute the detailed information to everyone in a unified way." The master of Haiyuan smiled and said, "Although it is also a 'perpetual motion machine', this is a degraded version after an improved design. At best, it can only be regarded as a 'perpetual motion machine'. Heart of Bronze' huh?"

It turns out that the No. 1 to No. 3 machines built by Accelerator and Misaka Misei themselves are the real "heart of gold", and their principle is most in line with the "perpetual motion machine" in people's impression.

Afterwards, Changdian Shangji Academy concentrated its efforts to optimize the design scheme and came up with a brand new second-generation version.

The second-generation version does not need to rely on high-level ability users such as Yifang Accelerator and Misaka Misei, but uses scientific and industrial technology to replace it, and truly realizes "mass production".

Of course, as a price, the performance of this version is much weaker. The first is the increase in size, from the original human heart to the size of the car's heart-engine; second, the source of energy is no longer directly from the "dimensional potential energy" generated by dimensionality reduction, but needs to be transferred through the imaginary mathematics area.

This version is nicknamed "Heart of Silver" by everyone.

In the end, there is the version that the master of Haiyuan is showing to the world now—it is even larger in size, comparable to a building. The output power is huge enough, but energy can only be obtained by relying entirely on the imaginary mathematics area.

In contrast ~lightnovelpub.net~ this "Bronze Heart" has been further simplified to the point that "technology other than Academy City can also be built".

"The energy output by each 'Heart of Bronze' can maintain the operation of a city of half a million people." Haiyuan said, "We are going to build a series of floating island cities in the Pacific Ocean, and all the energy will be provided by this city. Provided by the Heart of Bronze."

At the same time, according to the plan, a large number of "Silver Hearts" will be equipped in these floating island cities to truly achieve complete energy self-sufficiency.

Going one step further than Academy City, those floating island cities will become real "future cities".

"We will disclose all the information about the 'Bronze Heart' and the floating island city." Lord Haiyuan announced, "Everyone can build their own future city."

"But, what's the point of doing this?" People didn't believe that Academy City would be so generous—even if the technology they disclosed wasn't the best, it still far exceeded the average level of the outside world.

"After we solve the problems of output power and energy storage..." Haiyuan Master said, "Don't you think these floating island cities are the best space expedition ships?"

From the beginning to the end, the master of Haiyuan did not tell a single lie.

His meaning—and also the official meaning of Academy City—is very clear, that is, to seize the commanding heights of scientific and technological development and compete for the dominance of the direction of human civilization.

It's a conspiracy, a response to Gremlin's concept of "fortifying potions" and "new humans."

Only the development of the entire civilization and the desire for the stars and the sea can overwhelm the individual human desire for "longevity".

"...Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to repeat," Haiyuan Master said, "We have stood at the crossroads of history, welcome to a new era."
