Chapter 26 - Low Profile

In addition to sending messages in the comment section, the people on these platforms also kept sending private messages to Xiao Yuyao.

Everyone wanted him on their side because he was the up-and-coming future. No one cared for the A-list celebrities that worked their way up to fame. All their attention was focused on Xiao Yuyao.

These machines were going to be at the forefront of the world.

"Don't worry," Xiao Yuyao said."I'm still considering it. You guys have left me many personal messages. I'll contact you directly when the time is right."

After hearing Xiao Yuyao's words, the people on these platforms only sighed and could not do anything else.

Of course, they knew that it was impossible to sign a streamer so easily.

In addition, they couldn't use force. Otherwise, there would be backlash and they would be canceled. Their higher-ups wouldn't let them off either.

With his final say, they could only return empty-handed. Of course, before they left, they also sent out gifts to make sure they were memorable

[Fang gifted Xiao Yuyao 10 rockets.]

[Cat gifted Xiao Yuyao 30 rockets.]

[Send him more gifts! Maybe he'll see it!]

One by one, tips appeared in the livestream, shocking all the viewers in the livestream; along with colorful comments.

Who else could make so many platforms tip him other than a company?

The trending searches talked about which platform Xiao Yuyao would join and whether he would join research institutes instead.

Some netizens wanted him to go into research institutes so that he could create more types of cool gadgets for him.

Some said that they didn't want that to happen because the technology in the Academy of Sciences could not be compared to Xiao Yuyao's.

If they were to join forces with Xiao Yuyao, they would only be holding Xiao Yuyao back.

Xiao Yuyao had no idea what was happening outside. That was because he was busy tinkering away with his latest invention — the laser gun.

Lasers were currently being researched by various countries, but almost no one had been able to develop laser guns.

This was because this thing had a huge restriction, and it could not achieve the type of strength one wished for.

Since it could not be used as a weapon, it was used for other things.

When Zhou Chuchu saw the word laser gun written on the notebook, she couldn't help but think, 'Will he be marketing this to children in the future?'

Zhou Chuchu could not believe it, because according to what Xiao Yuyao had done before, everything seems too dangerous for kids.

Someone once said that using laser guns to intercept missiles could only exist in dreams. There was no other use for it except to point them at cats to play with.

Zhou Chuchu asked Xiao Yuyao if what he was making was real. However, Xiao Yuyao only smiled at him.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll have to wait to find out. Give it a few days, and you'll be able to know."

Xiao Yuyao thought that the laser gun was mainly divided into a laser launcher, power supply, and light circuit system.

The transmitter was easy to deal with, but providing the power supply and wiring the light path required a lot of effort.

This was because the laser gun's power source was not a simple power source. It can only be powered by nuclear batteries

He just needed to take a panel and then wield the pieces together. It would not take long to complete it.

With the light path laser issue, he had to refract the laser beam so that it can bounce a certain degree to enhance the power.

It took some time, but it did not consume much energy to work out these things.

This was because laser launchers were very easy to obtain. For example, the lasers that some children played with could actually turn into launchers if tweaked properly.

It would not let out much power, but if thousands of small lasers were gathered together, they could form a very powerful force.

Xiao Yuyao then recorded all of the items in his notebook.

After that, he would wait until all of them were completed before making the materials and assembling them.

He had to make sure each calibration was perfect. Were he to mess up, he would have to start all over again. 

Xiao Yuyao put down his pen, closed his eyes, and rubbed his temples with a frown.

He was stuck in a hard place and did not know how to proceed. Some things were out of his reach and unsolvable. 

He realized how complicated it would be if he really designed the laser gun. If something went wrong during the process, it would be a huge loss.

Moreover, it was a waste of time to make everything so complicated, so he wanted to see if he could simplify it.

In addition, he saw that there were a lot of materials needed. Just the parts alone would cost thousands.

If any of these parts broke along the way, they would have to be replaced. It would be troublesome to replace something when time is of the essence. Therefore, he wanted to see if he could simplify these parts.

Next, he saw the coil. The coil was also very important, so it had to be made from high-quality materials. After thinking about it, he crossed out the light path, which was the converged laser, and then wrote new formulas for it.

The modification and polishing of the materials became more detailed. This thing was not like an ordinary gun. Once it triggered, it would cause a ruckus.

Xiao Yuyao stood up. Then, he paced around the warehouse, wondering if he had missed anything.

Zhou Chuchu was confused when she saw Xiao Yuyao pacing around. She wanted to take a look, but when he heard Xiao Yuyao scream she immediately sat back down.

She was so frightened that she thought she was the cause of his annoyance.

The moment he sighed a breath of relief, her shoulders drooped.

Whatever he was doing had caught her attention. She walked up to Xiao Yuyao and wanted to see what he was writing.

Why was he so excited?

She also wanted to see how far the laser gun had progressed and if the preparations were complete.

While deep in thought, she recalled the high-end technology required for the laser gun. She started to doubt whether Xiao Yuyao could make the gun without it.

This was because the laser gun almost had the same components as the mecha. Although the mecha looked big, there were only a few important parts inside.

However, the laser gun had to be very precise to avoid any issues.

Knowing all this, was it really worth it to make the laser gun?

Is it really a kind of toy that children play with?

If it was really a toy, it might not cause a big sensation once it was pulled apart. It was very likely that it would fizzle out after a few days.

Xiao Yuyao suddenly noticed a problem.

He placed the pen back on the table and rubbed his temples.

He wrote each item carefully and circled the materials he didn't have on hand.
