Becoming A Tech Tycoon Begins With Regression novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177: Take That Einstein

{Should I ’leak’ some of the reports from the Vitaband?} Athena asked after a while of studying the data.

"No," Ethan shook his head as he stood up from the couch, "leaking any data right now will have the opposite effect, after all, they’re currently trusting us with their medical data, a single leak would just put the wrong forest on fire."

{I understand,} Athena answered before going back to monitoring the online reception of Vitaband’s announcement.

For now, it was mostly positive, with a few negative comments here and there about data safety and the likes.

But those comments were quickly drowned out by the positive ones.

Ethan walked towards his lab, ready to get back to working on the infinite energy core and the simulation chair.

Both of which were proving to be a headache right now. Despite his tier 4 knowledge, he just couldn’t figure out what was missing to make the infinite energy work.

Well, it was less like he didn’t know why it worked and more like he didn’t know how to go about fixing why it didn’t work.

Einstein must really be having the time of his life wherever he lay right now, after all, Ethan, even with knowledge far above what this world had, couldn’t find a way to disprove his theory of the impossibility of infinite energy.

"Well he’s about to stop laughing," he muttered as he put on the lab coat and gloves.

Thanks to the system Library, he had finally figured out what he was missing in his infinite energy cores.

The reason he couldn’t achieve infinite energy before was because no matter how much energy was recycled, there was always that bit if waste...even if a tiny bit.

That wasted energy would seem unnoticeable at first but after a while, it’ll pile up and said infinite energy would become.... finite.

But what if that energy wasn’t a wasted on?

A closed system always bled something. Thermodynamics demanded it, Einstein had confirmed it and the universe made sure to enforce the old genius’s theory....well, until today.

Unless... The system wasn’t closed.

A small grin curved on Ethan’s face as he walked into the system’s Library’s interface.

A floating blueprint unfolded before him, glowing in layered geometric structure, it was one he had generated the moment he returned.

"Zero-Point Stabilization Lattice," Ethan muttered quietly as he looked at the geometric structure..

A theoretical impossibility in this era. Not to him.

"The problem isn’t generating infinite energy. It’s containing the system inside the universe’s rules," he muttered. "So I won’t." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He traced his finger across the hologram.

"What if the energy core piggybacks on the vacuum energy fluctuations between quantum states... and vents all waste back into the system?"

In simpler terms, he was going find a way to return all wasted energy back into the cycle at the quantum level.

"And what’s that?" Ethan asked as he pulled the hologram closer and adjusted the a couple of spirals on the core.... The TDI, combined with the library was just a cheat that allowed him to do all this in real time.

[You exist in the future of their genius. You did not just inherit their knowledge, you inherited the consequences of their discoveries.]

Ethan snorted, "so I’m a student who learned after the textbook was written. Not flattering."

[Well yes, but no,] the system answered through the holographic screen before him, [you see, during your era, it truly takes an exceptional individual to stand out as a genius and although Einstein would still be considered a genius if he was born the same time as you, the competition would be a lot tougher than it was back then.]

"I see," he said as he started putting the components of the core back together, " then maybe I should try making a time machine to see how their era was?"

Yep, he definitely was really bored, though what he was doing barely counted as boring... He was messing with the fundamental theories in physics, anyone would find that exciting....right?

[Host is advised not to attempt temporal displacement technology at this stage,] the system replied. [The risk of erasing the current timeline is very high.]

Well, the system didn’t say he couldn’t make a time machine, he just had to be careful not to erase the timeline in which he was currently winning.

That’d just start him from zero and he didn’t know if that’ll also reset the Krillins knowing about Earth.

"Now for some testing," he muttered as he placed the holographic the core in a holographic version of simulation chamber.

He watched as the core splendidly did its job without the least noticeable energy waste .

"Ha," Ethan muttered with a grin on his face, "take that Einstein."
