In the control center of the Eye of Blood Demon …
It was an arc-shaped building embedded with crystals at the bottom of a bloody lake.
The entire dome was made of pure, flawless crystals. The lake water that was as red as wine could be seen, as well as the rune arrays that were emitting weird fluorescence inside the lake.
When the Tian Yuan Realm was dealing with the deployment of underwater rune arrays, there had never been a good solution to the problems of water flow and corrosion.
However, in the Blood Demon Sector, the demon race had creatively combined the studies of spiritual stripes, rune arrays, and biochemistry.
The demon race had created a special type of demon beast named 'rune beast' with secret techniques. Most of the runes were carved into the body of the rune beast on the cellular level before the rune beast was released into the lake.
As the rune beast swam freely, the rune arrays would change into different forms. Together with the countless runes carved at the bottom of the bloody lake, the Eye of Blood Demon, a super teleportation array was established!
At this moment, undercurrents were surging inside the lake. Countless translucent rune beasts were gathering and dispersing, emitting colorful brilliance that poured into the control center like broken stars.
Inside the control center, super large biochemical brains were everywhere. They looked like black hills connected to countless artificial nerves that were as thick as boas.
Countless specialists were tied up by the 'boas' and connected to the biochemical brains. They breathed deeply, as if they were living corpses.
When Li Yao followed the four guards into the control center, he saw such a weird and horrifying scene.
Naturally, he saw Jin Tuyi the second he saw.
The commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons was not tall in reality. He was even a bit hunched. His eyebrows were furrowed all the time, and he gave off a bitter vibe.
Although he was wearing glamorous gold armor, he was not the intimidating, charismatic type. Instead, he was more like an indifferent technocrat who was doing his job diligently.
Maybe. Only such a plain-looking man who did not look like a crown prince could have lurked in the darkness for decades to push forward the dreadful 'Red Tide Plan'!
Jin Tuyi was surrounded by more than ten specialists. While he was making the final confirmations of the various parts of the extreme pressure test, he would also receive messages from the ground from time to time. Presumably, other demon emperors were communicating with him about military affairs.
There was only one day left before the Red Tide Plan was activated. It was the busiest time for him.
Li Yao heaved a sigh of relief. From the looks of it, it was impossible for Jin Tuyi to focus all of his attention on him.
Next, it was time to show off his acting skills!
Acting wasn't just a simple performance. What was more important was the precise control of one's heartbeat, blood flow, changes in pupils, and even sweat glands!
Li Yao walked towards Jin Tuyi and waited patiently beside him.
Jin Tuyi finalized the details of the magical equipment unit with the two specialists. Then, he turned around and glanced at Li Yao.
"Patriarch."
Li Yao manipulated his facial muscles and put on a nervous expression. She was a little excited and even a little aggrieved as she called out dryly.
The feathers on her wings curled up like the leaves of a mimosa, too.
Jin Tuyi was both the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons and the patriarch of the Feather Clan. The nobles of the Feather Clan all liked to call him 'patriarch' instead of 'commander-in-chief', which meant that they were on the same side.
As for the 'aggrieved', it was even more normal, because they were stabilizers at the bottom level of the magical equipment system. They worked in the filthiest and noisiest environment, but they were rarely received by the leadership. Naturally, they felt aggrieved.
"Thank you for your hard work, Master Jin."
Jin Tuyi patted Li Yao's shoulder neither lightly nor heavily.
The slap almost scared Li Yao's soul out of his body.
Thankfully, he had performed the most extreme micro-adjustments on the muscles and bones of his shoulder in the blink of an eye. He had completely simulated the muscles and bones of a non-battle-type Feather Clan more than a hundred years old.
Jin Tuyi was not suspicious. Retracting his eyes, he browsed through the structural designs and the flowcharts quickly and said, "The situation has changed. I hope that as many warriors as possible can be teleported in the first wave of teleportation. That's why the parameters of teleportation have been increased in the extreme stress test. In the end, the number of demon emperors teleported in the first wave has increased to fourteen, which is four more than what I expected in the beginning!
"I thought that, even if the stabilization unit could hold on, it would have to switch to two backup plans, which would significantly lengthen the interval between the first wave of teleportation and the second wave of teleportation. After the first wave of teleportation was completed, it might take half an hour to cool down before the second wave of teleportation could begin.
"But I didn't expect that you would be able to hold on. The interval between the first wave of teleportation and the second wave of teleportation was only nine minutes and forty-four seconds. It was less than ten minutes!
"As a result, our army would've been able to teleport more than twenty demon emperors, a hundred devilish warships, and tens of thousands of elite soldiers into the capital city of the Xing Yao Federation in only ten minutes. The enemy would be caught unprepared as much as possible!
"This time, the stabilization unit has made a great contribution!"
Li Yao burst into tears. Overwhelmed by the compliment, he choked and said, "Chief, I — I —"
"Right."
Jin Tuyi suddenly changed the topic and pointed at a structural design of demonic light floating in midair. "This is the stabilization system that you repaired at the last moment, Master Jin. It has occurred to me that … in the most critical fundamental architecture here, you have changed the previous star structure into a parallel structure of double helix.
"The modification did not add new cooling towers or rune arrays, but the efficiency of the stabilization system was improved by ten percent. It was truly incredible!
"I never knew that you were so knowledgeable about the double helix structure. You came up with such an ingenious remedy at such a critical moment!"
For decades, Jin Tuyi had been responsible for the exploration and space jumps of the Blood Demon Sector. Even the Eye of Blood Demon had been built under his insistence.
He was a seasoned specialist in teleportation arrays, too.
Perhaps he was not as good as the specialists in various fields in terms of details, but when it came to seeing the big picture and grasping the essence, he was definitely one of the best!
Li Yao's back was soaked in cold sweat, but he blocked it with his muscles. He shook his head and said, "I'm sorry to inform you, chief. It was not a temporary idea."
"Oh?"
Jin Tuyi raised his eyebrow.
But his eyes seemed to be sealed by ice. There was no telling whether or not he was interested in it.
"In fact," Li Yao said, "my studies on the double helix structure started more than ten years ago. At that time, in order to write 'Studies on Rune Arrays in the Early Years of the Golden Roc Dynasty', I studied a lot of the double helix rune arrays of that era."
Jin Tuyi frowned. "Wait. I'm confused. Was the double helix structure popular in the Golden Roc Dynasty?"
"Of course not. “
Li Yao said solemnly, "But the Golden Roc Dynasty overthrew the reign of the Green Serpent Dynasty and became the ruler of the demon race. In the later years of the Green Serpent Dynasty, the double helix structure was very popular.
"When the Golden Roc Dynasty destroyed the Green Serpent Dynasty, it was inevitable that they seized a lot of magical equipment and demonic artifacts of the enemy. Those were all the glory of their valiance in killing the enemy.
"Therefore, in the early years of the Golden Roc Dynasty, many experts and generals would be buried with the trophies of the Green Serpent Dynasty after they died. I've more or less found them in the relics of the ancient tombs that I studied.
"As I studied deeper, I gradually fell in love with such a stable rune array structure."
Jin Tuyi nodded. "So, it was the Green Serpent Dynasty …"
Li Yao was like a person who was not good with words and finally found an opportunity to show off. His eyes were shining as he said, "When it comes to the double helix structure of the late years of the Green Serpent Dynasty, it's really exquisite. Three days and three nights won't be enough to finish talking about it. Just the simplest 'Wind Scroll Rune', using the double helix structure, there are four different ways to make it. They are respectively …"
Behind Jin Tuyi, a guard coughed and said in a low voice, "Commander, you have another meeting coming up."
Li Yao's' old face 'reddened. He said somewhat helplessly, "In short, I've thought about incorporating the double helix structure into the current structure a long time ago. However, the current structure is already very stable. I'm not sure if this kind of change is worth it. I've thought hard about it for a long time, but I still haven't come to a conclusion."
"I know."
Jin Tuyi said, "Master Jin was mentally deranged this morning. I think it must've been because of this."
Li Yao said gratefully, "Thank you for your concern, chief. It's just a minor illness. It's not a big deal. All in all, in my desperation today, I took the risk and tried the double helix structure. It seems to be working."
"It is indeed working."
Jin Tuyi accelerated the pace of the conversation. It seemed that he was completely satisfied with Li Yao, or maybe he had never been suspicious of him since the beginning. He said straightforwardly, "Just now, I discussed with more than ten specialists in the control center. Everybody has analyzed the brand-new stable structure carefully and confirmed that there is no problem at all.
"I've asked you to come here today because I want to tell you that the brand-new structure will be adopted when it is officially activated tomorrow. As for the specific parameters, you can discuss it with the specialists later.
"On the other hand, I want to thank Master Jin for your hard work. The renaissance of the Blood Demon Sector cannot be achieved without the unremitting efforts of the heroes behind the curtain!"
Li Yao's eyes were red.
Jin Tuyi patted his shoulder softly again. "Hold on for one more day!"
"Tomorrow!"
"I promise that after tomorrow, everything will be different. It will be a brand-new beginning for our race. Our race will embark on a path of rise that is entirely different from the past!"
Li Yao raised his wings and said excitedly, "Rest assured, chief. We will try our best. Even if thirty demon emperors are teleported over, we will grit our teeth and hold on!"
Jin Tuyi smiled and extended his wings to the front, touching Li Yao's wings softly.
It was the farewell etiquette for the nobles of the Gold Crow Kingdom.
Even after Li Yao turned around and disappeared into the short-distance teleportation array with his slightly hunched body, he did not seem to have noticed anything wrong.
"Let's go!"
