Syracuse had spent a lot of resources on helping w.a.n.g Tong with his research of the GN crystal gun . He had acquired samples of the gun and a talent who really understood the inner workings of the machine . w.a.n.g Tung was a sour and bitter scientist straight out of the Dexter's Laboratory . He was paid handsomely for his work by Syracuse, yet, he constantly put the latter down because he believed that businessmen were useless parasites .

Although the project was a corporation between Maersa and Syracuse, Maersa's contribution was very limited . Therefore, Syracuse ended up having to provide for w.a.n.g Tung's more expensive and sophisticated needs

"Here, this is the Ph-Ah alloy . Why do you need it?" Syracuse stayed in the Maersa city in order to facilitate the research .

"It's too complicated to explain it to you . " w.a.n.g Tung brushed his boss off and didn't even spare him a glance . Syracuse felt hurt every time he talked to him . He was only curious, but Mr . big brain had shot him back as if he was a dimwit . However, from the light that shone inside w.a.n.g Tung's eyes, he knew that he had found a breakthrough .

When Syracuse first started the project, he had employed over a hundred scientists, and had the best equipment in the world . However, the project was a failure in the end . He found it hard to believe that just one person with an improvised lab would have achieved more than a hundred persons and a state of the art facility .

"Syracuse, I need w.a.n.g Tong . Fetch him for me . " Syracuse heard an imperious command as he was about to take a sip of his afternoon coffee . He looked up and found it to be w.a.n.g Tung; then, he looked back at his hot steamy coffee, paused for a second, and then he put the cup down .

"Right away!" Syracuse shouted .

…

"What's up?" w.a.n.g Tong asked .

"Dr . Frankenstein needs to see you . Not sure what it is though . "

w.a.n.g Tong arrived at the front of w.a.n.g Tung's lab and then knocked on the door . The door cracked open, revealing a husk-like body, a dehydrated face, and a pair of glinting eyes . Despite being consumed by exhaustion, excitement and joy were written all over his face .

"Come in! I have a new idea . Come and see!"

w.a.n.g Tong was pleasantly surprised by w.a.n.g Tung's words and his spirit . Although he had the soul scanning ability, he was not an expert . He could detect the problem, but lacked the necessary knowledge to fix it . However, with w.a.n.g Tung's technical skills and the newfound understanding after viewing the soul scan diagram, he was very close to a breakthrough .

w.a.n.g Tong hurried into the room, and Syracuse followed him out of curiosity . After hovering over the project board for over a week, Syracuse had started to fancy himself as at least half an expert in the area .

"No amateurs allowed!"

Bang!

Wong Tung shut the door on Syracuse with discernible aversion .

"Come now, w.a.n.g Tong . It had suddenly occurred to me that the key to solving the problem is you! All force matrices have an energy imprint, and I think that if we can find a proper material that is able to copy these energy imprints onto other crystals, we might be able to reproduce these guns very easily . " w.a.n.g Tung announced with elation .

"Are you able to reproduce these imprints?"

"Like you had said, it is impossible in theory . However, after the crystal was touched by your soul energy, these imprints somehow surfaced . Let me put it this way…It is like walking along a railway track . What we are doing was to build a connection between the humans' GN force with the energy inside the crystal . The end product might not reach the full damage output as the original copy, but it should suffice for now . "

"What about the special material you were talking about?"

"Exactly! That is the last piece of the puzzle . I have been experimenting with over three hundred materials, and I have great confidence in this new material I have created using the Ph-Ah alloy . The final test is this afternoon . The results of that experiment will either make or break our project . " w.a.n.g Tung said in an overly excited tone . His eyes were fixed on the gun . Should he succeed, he would be forever remembered as the genius who brought new technology to the humans when it was most needed .

However powerful the human soldiers were, they were unable to catch up with the Zergs' reproduction rate . Plus, only a certain percentage of the human population were fit for the battlefield, and every single one of the Zergs had only one purpose ever since they were born: to kill . That would be where the crystal gun came in to save the day . Once the guns were introduced to the battlefield, anyone with the even the least amount of soul energy would be able to shoot deadly energy bolts at enemies from afar .

w.a.n.g Tong gave w.a.n.g Tung a thumb up, and the latter was slightly uncomfortable by this intimate human interaction . "I . . . I was just lucky . I had been trying such experiments for many years, but failed . I think, it worked this time because the crystal had been handled by you . Without seeing the energy diagram, I would still be poking in the darkness . "

Despite w.a.n.g Tung's humility, he had worked round the clock for this project . For three days, he ate only two pieces of toasts, and didn't sleep at all, as if he was possessed by his work . He had been working on the subject for many years, and finally found the last element that he needed to piece the puzzle together .

He was very confident in the outcome of the final testing this afternoon .

w.a.n.g Tung drew a deep breath and gathered himself . The moment of truth this afternoon would tell him if the direction of his research was right or wrong . If it were the latter case, it meant that he had to ditch years of research efforts and start all over again . He could not wait that long, and neither could the human world .

In the afternoon, w.a.n.g Tung invited w.a.n.g Tong to come to the lab and witness the historical moment .

The timer started ticking as w.a.n.g Tung opened his eyes and turned the machine on . Robotic arms swayed around while the conveyor belt hummed . Through a clear gla.s.s panel, w.a.n.g Tong watched as a core of the GN gun started to take shape at the heart of the steel coc.o.o.n . A tiny robotic arm carrying a needle sized carving tool closed in and started to work the roughly shaped core into the exact copy of the original crystal .

Ting!

The machine peeped . w.a.n.g Tung took out the copy and studied it in his hand for a while before he placed it in a slot on the Gun .

"Activate . "

Suddenly, sparks shot out of the gun as it started to glow . However, the light didn't last long as it dimmed down in just a few seconds . w.a.n.g Tung removed the crystal from the slot, his face streaked with tears .

w.a.n.g Tong was not sure if those were the tears of joy or sadness .

When w.a.n.g Tung first started this research topic, he had over a hundred colleges with all areas of expertise . However, over time, more and more of his companions died at the hands of the Zergs, and the team was eventually dismissed . He was able to pick up where his team had left off after he was hired by Syracuse's family . Whatever he had achieved today, he didn't do it alone .

These elites of the human society were highly sought after talents during the time of peace . However, as soon as the war broke out, their talent became useless . People were struggling to get by, and no one was willing to put in a huge amount of resources in researches that did not guarantee results . Even groups as powerful as Syracuse's family only committed a very small amount of resources to pick up the research haphazardly .

However, even if he were working all by himself, w.a.n.g Tung never gave up . What he was holding was not just a crystal core, it was his entire life .

The future of the human race was packed nicely inside that crystal core held by w.a.n.g Tung's trembling hand .

w.a.n.g Tung gritted his teeth; he knew that his task had not finished yet . Although he had crossed the most difficult hurdle, there were still much left to do done . Thinking that, he started to a.s.semble the gun; by now, he could practically do it in his sleep since he had done it thousands of times .

When w.a.n.g Tung was done a.s.sembling the other parts, he dropped the safety and was ready to fire . It was the final test .

"May I have the honor?" w.a.n.g Tong asked . He was concerned for the mad scientist's safety, since most new inventions were extremely unstable .

w.a.n.g Tung shook his head and politely refused the offer . "This is my test . If anything happens to me, you can find all of my papers in that safety . " w.a.n.g Tung said as he pointed at an iron box in a corner .

w.a.n.g Tung rounded his eyes as he focused on his soul energy . He had only a level three soul energy, weaker than even a sixteen-year-old boy . However, what he was about to achieve could change the course of human history .

Kom!

The blast startled Syracuse who was standing outside the lab . Fearing that the experiment had gone haywire, he stormed into the lab . The first thing he noticed was the large hole on the concrete wall . w.a.n.g Tong and w.a.n.g Tung stood at the other side of the room seeming like time had slowed down for them . However, both of their faces had betrayed their complicated feelings inside .

w.a.n.g Tung slowly handed the gun to Syracuse, the very first ma.s.s-production-ready crystal gun in the world . He said slowly, "Remember, it belongs to the human world . " As soon as he finished his words, he fainted out of exhaustion .

w.a.n.g Tong held onto the scientist and channeled his soul energy into his body to help him recuperate .

"We . . . did it?" Syracuse asked under his breath . When the reality finally set in, he couldn't believe his eyes . This was supposed to be his side project, and he never had high hopes for it . But there and then, a world-changing invention was right in his arms .
