Chapter 2 Tai Chi and Laser Devices

At 6 p.m., Lin Dong was carried by his mother the whole time as they returned to the residential area under the Chengdu Aircraft Industry Research Institute.

This is a small three-bedroom house, with two bedrooms and one room used as a study.

Zhang Xiali went inside, put Lin Dong down, and went to the kitchen to cook.

Lin Weiliang helped Lin Dong change into slippers, then stood up and asked, "Son, do you want to watch Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, or do you want to practice Tai Chi?"

"I want to practice Tai Chi!"

Lin Dong's childish voice said, "Grandpa Professor said I'm too weak and need to strengthen my body through exercise."

Pleasant Goat?

After experiencing a series of memes from later generations, he could hardly bear to watch the Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf storyline anymore. A real man should practice boxing!

"Alright, Dad will watch you train."

Lin Weiliang turned on his computer, found a video of Tai Chi, moved the chair in front of the computer to make room, and then watched it from the side.

He didn't forget what the professor had said: exercise should be gentle.

If I don't keep an eye on him, this kid could go completely crazy if he gets carried away.

Lin Dong walked to the computer and looked at the old man in white clothes in the video, who moved slowly. With a thought, he activated his soul vision.

Ok?

As soon as Lin Dong entered the Soul Vision, he noticed something was wrong.

That is, compared to when I was at school during the day, my brain is now significantly more active and my spiritual perception is much clearer.

Meanwhile, bodily desires and distracting thoughts become much less intense, and the person tends to develop towards a state of wisdom.

Does this kind of spiritual vision also follow the principle of use it or lose it?

Lin Dong thought for a moment, watched every movement in the video, and began to practice slowly.

A complete set of Tai Chi movements takes twelve minutes.

After careful consideration and reflection throughout the process, Lin Dong confirmed his guess.

—This kind of spiritual vision does indeed exhibit the principle of "use it or lose it".

To describe it in more detail.

That is, thinking and training under the vision of the soul can slowly but permanently improve the soul's control over the body.

It's like a powerful soul gradually integrating with the body through training, eventually transcending the constraints of the body's genes and becoming the sole source of control over the body.

Because of increased control over the body, consciousness breaks through the instinctive desires brought about by hormones, and the whole person's thinking begins to return to rationality and true self.

"If we keep practicing like this, maybe Soul Vision can even transform from a mental skill into a physical skill..."

A hint of anticipation appeared in Lin Dong's eyes.

Due to his limited knowledge, he did not understand why this could enhance the soul's control over the body.

But he understood that under the influence of the soul's vision, his young body was definitely undergoing some wondrous changes.

"Dad, let's do it one more time."

Lin Dong pointed to the computer screen where the video had stopped playing.

"it is good."

Lin Weiliang pressed a keyboard shortcut, and the video started playing again.

Lin Dong began his second practice session, and Lin Weiliang watched him from the side as usual, afraid that the boy might rush things and cause an accident.

But as he looked closer, Lin Weiliang noticed something was wrong.

"This is?"

Lin Weiliang watched Lin Dong's movements carefully, then compared them with the movements of the old man practicing Tai Chi on the computer screen, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes.

This movement... it's progressed too fast.

The movement was a bit shaky just now, but now it's perfectly stable.

Is Tai Chi really that simple?

Can an eight-year-old child easily master it?

Lin Weiliang watched the video on the computer and became interested. He went to the side and started practicing along with the video, while also calling for a third-party referee to score the performance.

"Honey, come out here! Let's see who's better at training, me or our son..."

In the kitchen.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Xiali came out and, through the open study door, saw a father and son with precise movements and well-proportioned figures, and a father and son with contorted movements and strange figures. She couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, Lin Weiliang, what are you doing, some kind of wild, unorthodox style?"

"A wild, unorthodox style of punch? That's impossible!"

Just as singers often think they have heavenly voices, they don't realize that they are actually being tortured by demonic sounds.

Hearing his wife's laughter, Lin Weiliang stared wide-eyed, utterly disbelieving: "I felt like I was hitting pretty well, how could it be just wild, uncontrolled punches!"

"Yes, yes, you played very well. Keep going, take it slow."

Zhang Xiali didn't argue with this blindly confident man. Instead, she placed a mirror not far from the father and son, letting Lin Weiliang admire himself while he practiced his boxing.

"Fine, let's fight!"

Lin Weiliang looked in the mirror, then at the video, and raised his hand to perform a "White Crane Spreads Its Wings" pose.

Then he saw himself in the mirror start moving, but his moves and actions changed directly from "White Crane Spreads Wings" to "Orleans Chicken Spreads Wings".

"I!"

In an instant, Lin Weiliang's expression darkened.

He even suspected that Zhang Xiali had brought a funhouse mirror, otherwise her movements wouldn't have looked so strange and ugly.

But the next second, Lin Dong seemed to have guessed his thoughts, raised his hand, and took a step.

In an instant, a perfect "White Crane Spreads Its Wings" pose was revealed, and through the reflection in the mirror, it delivered a direct and devastating blow to him.

"Holy crap... I'm totally losing it!"

Faced with this blow from his own son, Lin Weiliang, in a moment of desperation, blurted out a common saying of this era.

call!

Lin Dong hadn't finished practicing his second round of Tai Chi.

Suddenly, a strange tightness came from every moving muscle in my body.

Lin Dong frowned, stopped training, and said to Lin Weiliang, "Dad, turn it off. We can practice again tomorrow."

Lin Weiliang was taken aback, then came to his senses and said, "We haven't finished practicing the second time yet, are we not going to practice anymore?"

"I'm not practicing anymore."

Lin Dongren, young and precocious, waved his hand and said, "I'm a little tired."

Upon hearing that he was tired, Lin Weiliang immediately stopped talking and picked up a few children's storybooks: "Shall we read some books?"

"No!"

Lin Dong shook his head and pointed to a thumb-thick hand-held laser device on top of the bookshelf: "Dad, I want to play with this laser!"

They've all been reborn and even have cheat codes now, who cares about reading children's storybooks? Isn't it much more appealing to research these novel technologies?

As the top researchers at Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group, Lin Weiliang and Zhang Xiali didn't have much at home, except for various books and documents related to military technology, as well as some strange and unusual equipment.

Although there won't be anything particularly dangerous or classified here, it's just some ordinary stuff that's enough for Lin Dong to study.

"this……"

Lin Weiliang hesitated for a moment when he saw what Lin Dong was pointing at, then took it down: "Okay, but if you want to connect to electricity, you must get Dad's permission, and you can't point it at eyes, and you definitely can't point it at people."

This laser was something he made by hand using some parts a while ago when he needed to measure the motion parameters of a workpiece but couldn't find a suitable beam for a short time.

Because it's only for measurement, the laser's power is low and not harmful; even if it's applied to the skin for ten seconds, it won't cause blisters.

However, if aimed directly at the eye, it can still burn the retina in the macula, causing permanent vision loss or even blindness.

"Okay, I also want books related to laser treatment!"

Lin Dong raised his hand to speak: "Grandpa Professor said I should read more books."

"Can you understand books related to laser treatment...?"

Lin Weiliang was speechless, but considering that he couldn't stifle his child's interest, he still took a professional book on laser technology from the bookshelf.

"If you don't understand anything, you can ask Dad. Although Dad doesn't specialize in laser devices, he still has some knowledge in this area."

"Uh-huh."

Lin Dong hugged the laser device and books, walked to the side, and began to look through them very seriously.

As a second-generation graduate student in the military industry, he did not follow his father's path in his previous life, but instead studied animation under the influence of the wave of Chinese animation.

However, before he finished university, Chinese animation was already on its last legs.

Meanwhile, the major I was studying was also brutally defeated by AI, and I was already unemployed before graduation. Eventually, after several twists and turns, I finally got a job as a product manager at a startup.

Therefore, he only recognized the words in the professional books displayed in his father's study; he had to learn the theories, knowledge, and principles involved from scratch.

"The principle of lasers is based on stimulated emission of atoms, which is a phenomenon in which electrons of atoms absorb energy and jump from a low energy level to a high energy level, releasing photons."

"Ordinary laser power is extremely weak, and it has almost no lethality except for being used as a toy and for measurement."

"But if we add technologies such as resonant cavities, pulse amplification, and fiber optic bundling to increase the laser's power to the kilowatt level, the laser will possess a shocking destructive power..."

Lin Dong opened the book, and with the blessing of his soul vision, he could understand all the contents after reading it only once.

At this point, he also discovered another characteristic of his ability.

That is, one's spiritual vision is extraordinary, but one's thinking still needs to be based on the real brain and the richness of knowledge one possesses in reality.

The more information and knowledge you have, the less mental strain and stress you experience when you try to think further.

The less information and knowledge you have, the greater the strain and stress on your brain from further thinking.

During the day, I'm at school; there are no technical documents or game files.

He relied solely on his experience to analyze the game "LocoRoco," which led to a rapid increase in mental exertion. His brain was under immense pressure, and he quickly typed "GG."

Now, by learning and understanding the content of books and following the logical flow of knowledge, the mental exertion and stress decrease dramatically.

Given this situation, he could finish reading the introductory book on lasers in less than twenty minutes, and he's still a long way from his limit.

After all, for him, it was just a matter of flipping through the book to understand it; no further analysis was needed, so it wasn't difficult at all.

but.

My father, Lin Weiliang, is indeed a researcher in the military industry.

The books collected in the study, even an introductory professional book, almost entirely focus on weapon-level applications.

After reading the entire book, Lin Dong carefully reviewed its contents in his mind, then looked at the laser device in his hand, picked up a screwdriver, and twisted it forcefully with his small hand.

Click!

Before Lin Weiliang could react, the entire laser device casing was removed.

"Xiao Dong..."

Lin Weiliang realized what was happening and instinctively tried to stop him.

But as soon as he got up, he saw Lin Dong's small hands working hard but smoothly to disassemble all the components of the laser.

"Laser generator, resonant amplifier, power supply capacitor module, cluster lens, heat dissipation module..."

Lin Dong compared the knowledge in the book, identified each component, and quickly constructed the structure and working process of the entire laser in his mind.

The power module provides high-voltage electrical energy, which excites the laser generator to produce lasers. The initial laser seed is amplified by a resonant amplifier, then rectified and focused by a focusing lens to finally form a laser beam with consistent phase and direction...

After reading introductory books on laser devices, Lin Dong found it easy to understand these concepts.

However, with the enhancement of his soul perception, as he examined the laser device in his hand, a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

—This laser device is absolutely garbage!
