But the energy required would not be the same, to laser through 8blocks of aluminium+ 2 blocks of acrylic, Vs 10 blocks of aluminium (your initial assertion).
So your original post about his HV being able to go up to 20,000 degrees C is grossly inflated, as I said.
The logic might have been unclear. Let me simplify it further.
Line up five blocks in a row from left to right on a flat surface. Have a laser sweep at a constant speed from left to right, destroying them one at a time over a total of 5 seconds.
What's the rate at which the laser, moving at that speed, CAN destroy blocks lined up in a row? It's 1 block per second, right?
Now, repeat the process but remove the middle block.
What's the rate at which the laser, moving at that speed, CAN destroy the remaining blocks? Is it 0.8 blocks per second or still 1 block per second?
Did removing the middle block change the rate of the CAN ?
If you say yes, then you're either mistaken or not understanding the concept. Removing a block does not change the rate at which the laser CAN destroy blocks.
If this is still unclear, just calculate the destruction of the first block in the first second to achieve the same rate.
Btw is there any evidence he can change the temperature of his HV? Like lessen the temperature if he wants to hold back? Or increase the temperature if he's going all out?
If not then it's just 500 degrees as stated on the animated show.
And not only that. He can slice people apart easily even through helmets and kevlar, but used a weakened blast to slowly kill Stillwell in S1 finale.

When someone annoys you, it takes 42 muscles to frown but only 4 to reach out and bchslap them upside down on their head
But the amount of energy required to melt acrylic is much less than that of aluminium.
So the rate staying the same means nothing. Walk us through your calculations, like you did in the other thread. Start with assumptions etc. This is the only way to help you see your mistake.
