Behind Professor Mo Xuan, light and shadow were changing. Data and files as vast as an ocean were popping up. Together with his immaculate body of liquid metal, there was an air of mysteriousness about him. [Please go to: Literature Building.]
"It is well known that ghosts do not have real bodies but only souls. They are very vulnerable to the interference of the magnetic field and radiation in the outside world. Their souls will perish and completely vanish!
"Therefore, the devils in ancient times extended their survival by absorbing other people's vitality, stealing their souls, and other sordid approaches!
"Modern Cultivators have developed 'artificial bodies', a piece of marvelous magical equipment that can build a metal shell for the ghosts. The life and quality of life of the ghosts have been significantly improved!
"However, artificial bodies have significant shortcomings, too. At the very least, in a war, artificial bodies are very fragile compared to the strong Cultivators, and the utilization of spiritual energy is more rigid and monotonous, too!
"It is because all the artificial bodies today are made of normal metals and are subject to the restrictions of the metal materials! My four students and I were the only ones lucky enough to hide inside the liquid metal and become the 'star spirits' of the new generation of spectral Cultivators after being baptized by a cosmic storm!
"Compared to the common artificial bodies, the liquid metal has countless advantages. We can change our body shape at will. It is perfectly compatible with most magical equipment, crystal processors, and warships. We can even directly hack and corrupt the enemy's crystal processors and warships!
"In the war to pacify the riot of the Immortal Cultivators in the Flying Star Sector, the five of us snuck into the mainframe crystal processor of Heavenly Phantom, the predecessor of Burning Prairie, with our bodies of liquid metal. We swallowed tremendous computational ability and helped Li Yao and the other fellow Cultivators to defeat the powerful 'star child'!"
Behind Professor Mo Xuan, a lot of war pictures of the riot of the Immortal Cultivators popped up. Deafening explosions and earsplitting noises of metal being twisted immediately echoed in the hall.
"As a scholar," Professor Mo Xuan continued, "I never believe in 'coincidences'. Anything that happens can happen again. It is just a matter of probability!
"Therefore, if my four students and I can melt into the liquid metal perfectly, why can't other spectral Cultivators do the same?
"The so-called 'Spirit Ghost Plan' was established to achieve that purpose! We will build an enormous' cosmic storm laboratory 'in the outer space of the Tian Yuan Realm to simulate the cosmic storms and replay everything that happened to me and my four students that day. We will figure out the pattern of the melting of the remaining souls into the liquid metal and finally acquire the artificially controllable' Star Spirit Manufacturing Technology '! "
"By then, I will be able to pour the remaining soul into the liquid metal very conveniently, just like how I pour the remaining soul into the artificial body right now!"
"Today, there are almost fifteen million spectral Cultivators living in the Heaven's Origin Sector and the Flying Star Sector alone. If the 'ghosts' of the Blood Demon Sector are counted, chances are that there will be more than twenty million! Our ultimate goal is to melt a hundred thousand spectral Cultivators into the liquid metal and build an enormous army of 'star spirits' in a hundred years' time! "
"Think about it, everybody. Let's leave the application of the 'army of star spirits' aside for now. Let's just say that when the expedition fleet of the Imperium of True Human Beings arrives, our hundred thousand star spirits will sneak into the starships of the Imperium of True Human Beings without alarming anyone in the form of liquid metal, infiltrate their mainframe crystal processors, swallow their computational ability, and even completely take over their starships!
"How much of a help will it be for the outcome of the war?"
The 'Spirit Ghost Plan' that Professor Mo Xuan came up with based on his own situation was indeed fascinating. Many experts of the Yuanying Sector nodded quickly with great interest.
Professor Mo Xuan took the opportunity to ask for sponsors. "To realize the 'Ghost Spirit Plan', thousands of technical difficulties will need to be overcome. Right now, the most important thing is to establish a 'cosmic storm laboratory' in the outer space of the Heaven's Origin Sector. The investment will be enormous. The initial capital will be more than fifty billion. It is inevitable that the Grand Desolate War Institution will not be able to do it alone!
"After the Yuanying Meeting is over, we will choose an auspicious day and hold a press conference of the 'Spirit Ghost Plan' to explain the details to the public. If the fellow Cultivators here are interested, you can join us and join us in the great undertaking!"
Dozens of Yuanying Sector experts were going to speak later. Professor Mo Xuan only gave a general introduction.
After sending the detailed files to the crystal processors of the two hundred Yuanying Sector experts, he bowed and left the podium.
Li Yao immediately sent a message to him. "Professor, what's the specific progress of the 'Spirit Ghost Plan'? Are there any theoretically unsolvable problems? Let's talk in private after the meeting and see if the Glorious Sunlight Group is willing to invest in the project and reach a strategic partnership with the Grand Desolate War Institution! "
Li Yao and Professor Mo Xuan were very close. They were friends who had gone through life-and-death situations together. Naturally, Li Yao would support Mo Xuan's project.
No matter how much money the Glorious Sunlight Group could invest in the project, at the very least, when the news that the Glorious Sunlight Group and the Grand Desolate War Institution had reached a strategic partnership spread out, a lot of sects in the Flying Star Sector would be willing to invest in the project.
Professor Mo Xuan replied to Li Yao with a grateful emoji. The two of them had no time to talk in detail. Another expert went on the podium and introduced himself. He was Fire Ant, too!
"What I'm going to introduce is not a systematic plan but a series of research directions, which are all the treasures left by 'Chaos' Ba Yanzhi!"
Fire Ant used to be the leader of the Blade of Chaos. After Elder Nether Spring's death, most of 'Chaos' Ba Yanzhi's relics fell into his hands. The development and utilization of the relics were what he was most concerned about.
"Forty thousand years ago, Ba Yanzhi, leader of the Chaos Demons, fought against the Ultimate One Demons with the Blood Demon Sector as his last stronghold. Countless relics and secret treasures were left in the Blood Demon Sector, too!
"One of the largest relics was the place where Ba Yanzhi was buried, the 'Mausoleum of Chaos' deep inside the White Silver Death Desert of the Blood Demon Sector.
"Ba Yanzhi conducted a series of unbelievable studies based on the relics of the Pangu civilization in this place, which are still of great significance for us today!
"After the situation in the Blood Demon Sector was stabilized, I led the investigation team of 'Skyfire' to excavate the Mausoleum of Chaos again. I sorted through the critical technologies inside carefully. I believe that there are three technologies that are most important for the three Sectors today."
"Firstly, the artificial spiritual root technology. Once it succeeds, it will be possible to implant an artificial spiritual root into the brain of a common warrior, allowing them to become a Cultivator effortlessly!
"Of course, such Cultivators will not be as good as real Cultivators because they have not been purified by their beliefs. They will not be able to level up at all and will be stuck in the beginning level of the Refinement Stage for the rest of their lives.
"However, for the warriors in their thirties and fifties who have passed the best period of awakening and have no hope of becoming Cultivators in the first place, what's not good about improving their combat ability and expanding their army?
"Secondly, the synthesis of the Jin Dan technology! If the artificial spiritual root technology is only enough to expand the bottom-level troops, the synthesis of the Jin Dan technology will allow us to produce experts on a large scale!
"In fact, it is the technology that is closest to success. My brother, Elder Nether Spring, once created a powerful special force named the 'Nether World Watch' with similar technology!"
The Nether World Watch was Elder Nether Spring's private army. A lot of demon cores had been embedded to their bodies to enhance their combat ability. They were indeed stronger than regular demons and had once caused a lot of trouble for Li Yao.
After Elder Nether Spring's death, part of the Nether World Watch resisted stubbornly and were all killed. But part of the Nether World Watch who had lost their leader chose to surrender. The secrets of their training fell into the hands of the Fire Ant and Skyfire, too.
The arts of training were neither good nor bad. Elder Nether Spring could make use of them to commit crimes. Naturally, the Fire Ant and Li Yao could make use of the technology to protect the country and benefit the people, too.
"Thirdly, the technology to combine magical equipment with flesh and blood!"
The Fire Ant went on. "The essence of the technology is to give the magical equipment a certain degree of self-control and recognition abilities. In other words, a 'spirit' in a different form will be generated, which will allow the magical equipment to carry out combat missions for a long time without the control of the master!
"The intelligence of the 'spirit' does not need to be as high as that of an adult. As long as they are as intelligent as military dogs, they will be able to play important roles in many military fields!
"Imagine this picture. Once a certain 'blood-sucking flying sword' with preliminary intelligence is produced and deployed in the space zones at the border of the New Federation, it will be in the hibernation state during normal times. Once it detects the invasion of the Imperium of True Human Beings, it will be woken up and control itself. It will dash into the warships of the Imperium of True Human Beings and sustain itself by absorbing the flesh and blood of the Immortal Cultivators.
"Even if it cannot stop the enemy, it will at least buy more time and exhaust the enemy as much as possible!"
Artificial spiritual root, synthetic Jin Dan, and fleshly spirits!
Any of the three technologies was of epoch-making significance. If they were all successful, the strength of the three Sectors would be more than ten times greater!
All the Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators and demon emperors nodded in agreement.
Just like Professor Mo Xuan, the Fire Ant sent the project proposal for the development of the Mausoleum of Chaos to everyone's crystal processors before he walked off the podium gracefully.
Li Yao had suffered a lot from the blood-sucking flying sword in the Mausoleum of Chaos. He was very interested in such mysterious magical equipment. Therefore, he patted his chest to the Fire Ant and promised that money was not a problem. He could have as much money as he wanted.
However, when the Fire Ant reported an initial price, Li Yao was greatly shocked. He could not retract his tongue for a long time.
"My Primeval Lord of Heaven needs so much money?"
With Li Yao's personal assets right now, if he were to spend them on his own training and enjoyment, he would not be able to spend them all even if he were to lie in bed with his limbs broken.
