Chapter 352 - Mr. Freeze's Superconducting Device

This is the Wind Release Chakra Mode.

However, this has always been the main body's work.

That's because only the main body possesses Airflow Manipulation, allowing for extreme control over wind, and also has a Perfect Demonization physique, granting incredibly strong physical self-healing abilities. This eliminates any worry about the body being damaged during the trial-and-error process.

Although it hasn't succeeded yet, with these two abilities, Qingshui is confident that in the next one to two years, or even less, he will achieve what took generations of talented individuals in the Cloud Hidden Village to accomplish.

As for the remaining aspects, one is to improve mental capabilities and strengthen resistance to Genjutsu.

This was previously assigned to the Avatar in the Marvel Universe. He has the Mind Stone to research and a vast amount of knowledge about mages at Kamar-Taj to learn from.

Although with Qingshui's current mental power, most Genjutsu in the Ninja World pose no threat to him, and even the eye power of Yuwujo En, which is no less than a three-tomoe Sharingan, has little effect on him.

But what about Mangekyo Sharingan?

Compared to regular Sharingan, there's a qualitative leap.

While most Kage-level experts wouldn't be instantly killed by Tsukuyomi like Orochimaru, who has soul defects, they would still be significantly affected, and could even be severely wounded if careless.

In a fight between experts, a single glance from an Uchiha with a Genjutsu-type Mangekyo Sharingan could result in a major disadvantage.

This is Qingshui's only weakness that isn't really a weakness right now.

Although there are no known Mangekyo users in the Ninja World currently, and he won't encounter one in the short term, Uchiha with the aptitude to awaken Mangekyo have already appeared.

Once war breaks out and Konoha is forced to release the Uchiha confined in their prison, no one knows what those red-eyed madmen will become.

Having the bloodline of the Sage of Six Paths' eldest son allows for such unreasonable power.

However, all shortcomings are due to insufficient stats.

Theoretically, as long as one's mental energy is high enough and strong enough, none of this is an issue.

Although the upper limit of combat power in the "One Person" world isn't as high, when it comes to the strangeness of their methods, whether it's the Eight Wonders, Rebirth in Three Stages, Qimen Dunjia, Gu Poison Elixir Devouring, Fire Release, or Metal Release, the ingenuity of their various techniques is no less than that of the Naruto World.

Perhaps this is why the "One Person" world places much more emphasis on cultivating the mind and spirit, and exploring spiritual realms.

When the physical limits are set, the "Outsiders" of the "One Person" world begin to pursue dual cultivation of body and mind, starting with spiritual cultivation to break through in the mental domain. This has led to much deeper research in this area.

At least, unlike the Naruto World, where the existence of supernatural powers has led to a somewhat distorted world development, with abnormal and mentally unstable ninjas everywhere.

Coupled with his research on the Mind Stone, Qingshui has a certain level of confidence in this area.

...

About ten minutes later.

A metal flying knife, engraved with even more complex sealing runes, floated up again, swaying gently.

"There's been a slight improvement compared to before, but it's mostly an increase in Chakra capacity. The performance aspect isn't great. The next step should focus on amplifying the energy output of the magical artifact and improving control over it through studying transmutation."

Qingshui sighed softly.

With his method, the efficiency of the Divine Mechanisms of the Mohist Sect could be increased by a significant degree. With more time, he could easily craft a low-level magical artifact, and the time required to craft high-level ones could also be greatly reduced.

But Qingshui still felt it was too slow.

That's because of the comparison to Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements.

Should he find an opportunity to have his Avatar in the "One Person" world go to Biyou Village to find Ma Xianhong?

Forget it, such troublesome matters are best left to the Avatar in the "One Person" world and the main body to worry about.

He had his own things to attend to.

Qingshui put away the metal flying knife and looked at the electronic clock on the wall.

It was two minutes before eleven at night.

It should be soon, right?

"Sir, two ladies have arrived to visit you at your villa on 13th Bru Street. They are Melissa..."

"Alright, I understand."

Qingshui stretched, loosening up his body.

He had arranged a threesome with two Hollywood actresses tonight.

...

...

The next day.

Morning.

Qingshui groggily woke up amidst a sea of naked flesh. Feeling the morning kiss below, he then pulled the two actresses for some "morning exercises," promised to invest tens of millions in a film to make them lead actresses, and only then got up to get dressed.

It was purely a matter of mutual benefit.

Qingshui wasn't one for casual hookups with just anyone. He preferred a semi-nurturing approach.

He would find attractive, newly-entered, and relatively "clean" young actresses to sponsor, investing in them from scratch by funding film companies to promote them. In return, they would always be available to satisfy Qingshui's physical needs.

And Qingshui didn't lose out at all.

Not to mention whether that money even registered to him, at the very least, in terms of films, he was investing, not just giving money away, so there would be returns.

If it made money, great. Even if it lost money, it wasn't a total write-off, and the money lost in between was just a drop in the bucket for him.

Qingshui felt it was well worth spending that money to please himself.

Not to mention, he actually made some money too.

The films he invested in were all analyzed by Watos using big data, and were deemed to have a high probability of profitability.

As long as the people he arranged to be involved didn't cause trouble, they almost always made money, or at least ensured they wouldn't lose any.

Coming out of the villa, his driver, Angus, was already waiting outside.

Qingshui's schedule for today was to go to Blüdhaven, a satellite city located outside of Gotham City.

The gangs and thugs there had already been cleared out by Hogg United. Now, Watt Group and Wayne Enterprises had acquired a large piece of land there, preparing to build an industrial park focused on high-tech industries.

Talent would primarily be drawn from Gotham and Metropolis, as both had world-class universities, while downstream businesses would be exported to Gotham, providing more job opportunities for the city.

A luxurious, custom-made, bulletproof, extended Lamborghini pulled up in front of a newly constructed building.

This was Watt's second tower, and also Watt Group's largest branch worldwide.

In fact, the scale of the tower and the nearby industrial park was considerably larger than their headquarters in Gotham—because the land was cheaper.

A bit further away was Wayne Enterprises' new building, called Thomas Tower, named after Bruce Wayne's father.

"You finally made it."

Having received the news, Nora, who had come downstairs to greet Qingshui, rushed over and complained, "The press conference is already over. The reporters couldn't find you, who knows how they'll spin stories about us."

Qingshui awkwardly cleared his throat twice.

He was late because his morning exercises had gone on a bit too long.

It was almost noon already.

"I purposely came late because I didn't want to be hounded by reporters. Don't worry, it'll be fine. Their attention will definitely be on the Regeneration Serum, not on me."

Qingshui wagged a finger and shrugged.

He had already brought the Regeneration Serum into the DC Universe and begun its commercialization.

The person assisting Qingshui with the Regeneration Serum's related work was Mr. Freeze's wife, Nora.

Although she had been frozen for many years, Nora was an extremely talented biologist back then. While her knowledge was a bit outdated, two years had been enough time for her to catch up with current developments, making her the perfect candidate.

"That's true, but the results you've produced have driven the media and medical community wild. From morning until now, I've been getting a dozen calls every hour. I'm genuinely worried that the calls will keep coming even when I'm trying to sleep tonight; I'll have a nervous breakdown."

Nora said exasperatedly.

"If someone's bothering you, just don't sell to them."

Qingshui casually continued, "How do you make so much money doing business so capriciously?"

Nora wondered.

"Is there a possibility that I make so much money in business precisely so I can do whatever I want?

It's fine. Those who are truly powerful, who have partnerships with Watt Group, and need to maintain relationships won't be anxious, because they know their opportunities won't diminish. It was all settled before the press conference. Those making a fuss now are at least second-tier forces and individuals. Just spread the word for me, and they'll dutifully follow the proper channels themselves. That's the real purpose of this press conference."

"You're the boss, whatever makes you happy."

Nora rolled her eyes at Qingshui. When her phone in her bag rang again, she glanced at the number on the screen.

"If it's still those annoying people, I won't dock your pay even if you hang up."

"It's not those annoying people. It's Victor's call. He must have achieved something."

"Achieved what?"

"A low-temperature Superconducting Device."

"Didn't we already have that?"

"You'll see when you go. Victor is planning to install the first Superconducting Device onto a space shuttle. Combined with an Arc Reactor, it might be possible to create a spaceship that could easily take humans to other planets in the solar system."

"He's serious?"

"It's a slight exaggeration, but not far off."

Not far off from an exaggeration?

What a muddled description.

Qingshui, however, became somewhat interested.

Entering the industrial zone behind the Watt Tower, Qingshui searched around, and finally, guided by Watos, found Mr. Freeze in a spacious factory.

He was currently with several researchers in white lab coats, using a tube to inject Flash Freeze Coolant from a barrel into a massive metal coil with a double wall.

"Victor, I heard you're working on a Superconducting Device? Didn't you already try that before?"

Qingshui walked up to Mr. Freeze, hands in his pockets.

Existing superconducting materials, without exception, had extremely stringent requirements for temperature or pressure.

Previously, Qingshui and Mr. Freeze had also tried using low-temperature coolants with those low-temperature superconducting materials to indirectly achieve the regularization of superconducting materials.

The idea was good, but it had too many flaws.

Even with the Flash Freeze Coolant, they've merely significantly reduced the cost of creating a low-temperature environment. Just like superconducting devices that use liquid nitrogen or liquid helium, they still require a large amount of energy to maintain low temperatures, and these cryogenic devices take up a significant amount of space.

To say it's useful, it is, to an extent. The superconducting devices they produce this way would be superior to others in terms of size and energy consumption, but there's still a gap before achieving true superconductivity.

But what's happening now?

"Look at what's in the middle of the coil."

Victor walked over to the coil and opened a cylindrical pillar in the center, about a meter tall and two palm-lengths in diameter.

At the heart of the complex, intricate machinery lay an Arc Reactor, glowing with an enchanting light.

"You're trying to..."

Qingshui seemed to understand something.

"Hey, what's the purpose of a superconducting device? High-density current, high-intensity magnetic fields, high-performance electronic and quantum computing, and theoretically near-zero energy loss.

Many believe that superconducting devices are crucial for achieving controllable nuclear fusion. People must rely on superconductivity to use strong magnetic fields to confine plasma and utilize the energy effects of superconducting materials to achieve net energy output from nuclear fusion.

But now we have the Arc Reactor. It's like when climbing the technology development skyscraper, an elevator suddenly appeared, taking us from the twentieth floor to the thirtieth. Before, we had to rely on the technology of the first twenty floors to deduce the twenty-first, which was difficult because the effectiveness of the first twenty floors was lower than the twenty-first.

But now, we can directly rely on the technology of this thirtieth floor to feed back. Even if there's no direct technological relationship between the Arc Reactor and superconducting technology, the almost inexhaustible energy from nuclear fusion alone is enough to greatly assist our technological development, not to mention the Arc Reactor's extremely high energy output efficiency and its miniaturization capabilities.

Others need to consider energy issues when building superconducting devices, but we don't. The energy required to maintain a low-temperature environment is negligible for us. In fact, we can even use superconducting devices to increase the Arc Reactor's energy output efficiency, reaching its theoretical limit."

At this point, Victor was clearly excited.

"You know, Watt, according to my calculations, as long as the ratio of the Arc Reactor's hydrogen-saturated palladium metal fuel to the superconducting device reaches a healthy range, the energy saved by the efficiency increase from superconductivity will even exceed the energy consumed to maintain low-temperature superconductivity!

This means that not only is the Arc Reactor's output efficiency unaffected, but we can also use superconducting devices and this energy output to do other things!"

As Mr. Freeze spoke, Qingshui also understood.

His own knowledge reserves were quite good.

"You want to utilize the Meissner Effect?"

"Exactly!"

Victor had a look that said, great minds think alike.

"By using the diamagnetism of superconducting materials through the Meissner Effect, we can create electromagnetic propulsion aircraft different from traditional maglev tracks. Coupled with the Arc Reactor and the boost superconducting materials give to Hall Thrusters, energy and propulsion will no longer be the shackles preventing humanity from reaching the stars!"
