Chapter 18

Chen Yang is not a fool; he is afraid of the terrifying punishment that his right hand might inflict on him, but this does not mean that he would naively believe everything the right hand says.

Regarding the four morphological components mentioned by the right hand, he is skeptical and maintains a reserved attitude, not daring to completely dismiss them.

However, after being parasitized by the right hand, his personal stance has changed significantly. If he had encountered an extraterrestrial civilization in the past, he would naturally have stood on the side of humanity. But after being parasitized, his life and death are no longer in his control, or rather, to avoid the incomparably terrifying pain and to survive, he has no choice but to obey every command from the right hand.

At least for now, without fully understanding the specific information about the right hand and its weaknesses, Chen Yang must be a "friendly" Earthling and act wisely.

CAD, as a computer-aided technology, has undoubtedly saved people a lot of time and effort in drawing. However, no matter how much time it saves, it is impossible to complete a relatively complex drawing in just over a minute.

After completing the drawing, the right hand did not stop but opened the 3DSmax 3D animation drawing software. At a speed that made Chen Yang gasp, it quickly rendered and constructed a 3D model that resembled a real object.

To be able to use 3DSmax to such a degree, many professionals would likely be ashamed and cry in embarrassment.

However, as a non-professional, Chen Yang certainly does not feel ashamed. In fact, he is more amazed by the 3D model that has been rendered and constructed.

It's a gun!

A gun he has never seen before!

For modern people, even if they have never touched a gun, they have seen many through TV and the internet, and they are familiar with the appearance of guns. Chen Yang is not a military enthusiast, but even so, he finds this gun strange and is certain it is not a weapon used by any modern country.

To describe it accurately, although the gun's appearance and lighting effects are rendered very realistically, they give Chen Yang a particularly fake feeling, like a spaceship in an American blockbuster. Although the special effects are very realistic, they also give a sense of unreality because everyone knows that such things do not exist in reality.

Therefore, everyone thinks the spaceships in movies are fake.

At this moment, Chen Yang feels as if he is looking at a science fiction illustration, feeling puzzled about the gun on the screen, which seems like a future weapon. Could it be that the right hand is planning to manufacture this gun?

Chen Yang shakes his head, very doubtful.

It's not that he thinks this gun doesn't exist. Since extraterrestrial civilizations and alien life forms have appeared, what is impossible? But to say that a weapon so cool can be made from that pile of "junk"—or, to put it nicely, ordinary hardware materials—do you think this is a game?

"Host, can you understand these?"

The right hand stops controlling the mouse and points to the CAD data on the monitor.

"These, these are not a problem."

Chen Yang hesitates slightly and cautiously says, "But, Commander Screw, we don't have a machine tool or any other specialized equipment, so we can't even complete the shape."

"You don't need to worry about that. I have a way to deal with the machine tool and parts issues."

The right hand points to the screen. "Do you know what this weapon is? According to human terminology, this weapon is called an electromagnetic railgun."

"Electromagnetic railgun?"

Chen Yang's face changes dramatically. He never expected that this futuristic weapon from a sci-fi movie would actually be an electromagnetic railgun.

An electromagnetic railgun—a highly advanced kinetic energy weapon made using electromagnetic launch technology. Compared to traditional weapons that use the pressure of gunpowder gas, the projectiles of an electromagnetic railgun are much faster and more powerful, with terrifying destructive force.

According to Chen Yang's understanding, electromagnetic railgun technology is highly valued internationally. He remembers that the U.S. military tested an electromagnetic railgun on a ship last year, and many countries are paying close attention to it.

But existing electromagnetic railguns are very large. How powerful can such a small one be?

"As for the machine tool and parts issues you are concerned about..."

The right hand extends and touches some part of the cylinder, and the horizontally placed cylinder suddenly changes, splitting into two segments.

But the changes do not stop there. The right hand extends two tentacles, each grabbing one end of the cylinder and pulling them apart, placing the two segments on the edge of a table.

What is it planning to do?

Chen Yang watches quietly, his eyes full of curiosity. This is equipment from an extraterrestrial being, and by peering inside, he might discover the technological level of this mysterious extraterrestrial being.

The surface of one end of the cylinder, originally smooth and silver, now displays many glowing blue characters. The tentacles of the right hand continuously tap on the surface, as if operating it.

After a while, Chen Yang holds his breath, watching nervously, unaware that sweat is forming on his forehead.

A minute of operation is a short time. One of the right hand's tentacles picks up an aluminum alloy raw material from the box, places it in the air between the two segments of the cylinder, and then releases it.

The next scene leaves Chen Yang speechless.

His eyesight is not bad, and he can see clearly that there is nothing between the two separated segments of the cylinder, just empty space.

But in this empty space, the aluminum alloy, which should have fallen to the ground after being released, actually floats in the air as if supported by an invisible force.

Is this magic?

With Chen Yang's limited brain capacity, he cannot imagine the principle behind it. Even if other professionals were to see it, they might not be able to explain it.

But this does not prevent Chen Yang from feeling a deep respect for the right hand.

The level of technology he has witnessed makes Chen Yang realize that the right hand's scientific and technological capabilities are definitely more advanced than those of humans.

However, Chen Yang soon realizes that despite his mental preparation, he has underestimated the technological level represented by the right hand.

The aluminum alloy, suspended in the air, suddenly turns red. Without any visible heat source, the aluminum alloy raw material suddenly melts, turning into a high-temperature aluminum alloy solution that floats and churns in the air.

"What's happening?"

Chen Yang can't help but shout out, feeling a bit shocked. If he remembers correctly, the melting point of aluminum alloy is between 475 and 635 degrees Celsius. How could it melt so quickly?

He looks at the right hand, hoping for an explanation.

After Chen Yang expressed his absolute obedience, the right hand's attitude has improved somewhat. It coldly explains, "This uses high-frequency alternating magnetic field technology to make metal molecules move rapidly and randomly in a short time, causing the metal to heat up and melt quickly."

With this brief explanation, Chen Yang suddenly understands, but he is even more afraid and wary of the right hand. The technical principle is not complex, but applying such technology inside the cylinder is extremely advanced.

Moreover, in the following observation, the aluminum alloy solution is reshaped by an invisible force, then cooled, and the reshaped aluminum alloy solution stabilizes. A part that would normally take a long time to machine is produced so simply.

During the melting process of aluminum alloy, various defects are inevitable, such as the absorption of moisture and oxygen from the atmosphere, leading to porosity and shrinkage cavities, which can result in defective castings.

But Chen Yang sees that the part produced by the right hand is flawless, smooth, and beautiful, like a work of art, with none of the aforementioned issues. This is truly remarkable. Adjusting the precision and geometry, then rapidly cooling and eliminating material porosity, a part with nanometer-level precision can be produced in just a few seconds. This is truly amazing.

No wonder the right hand said not to worry about machine tools and parts. With this divine tool, even the most efficient automated machine tools from Germany and the United States would be nothing.
