As a refiner, Long Yunxin knew very well that it was not difficult to condense spiritual energy, but there were too many theoretical and technical difficulties to be overcome in order to precisely control the intensity, transformation, and every detail of the spiritual energy in order to 'mold' it into a vivid shape as if it were a living creature!
Only by making breakthroughs in the Super Dazzling Theory and having a deep understanding of the 'membrane theory' could they possibly make everything a reality!
Although what was displayed in front of them was merely a seemingly beautiful, harmless' fountain of spiritual energy '.
Long Yunxin was very clear about the unbelievable effects of such a technique in the field of industry and war.
In short, when Cultivators could shape the shape of spiritual energy at will, they would be able to trigger superstring shields that were more compact and had a higher defense. They could also fold and weave 'spiritual threads' freely to construct circuits that could transmit tremendous information instantly. They could even construct super-large spiritual shields that could protect a starship or even a city with a tiny amount of spiritual energy!
This was definitely a revolutionary breakthrough. Who would have thought that it would be completed in just five short years!
If such a technique could be applied to every Crystal Suit and every starship on a large scale, the capability of the three Sectors would definitely be significantly improved!
"Sister Long, you do have a keen eye!"
Xie Anan said with a smile, "Since we acquired the crystal suits of the Immortal Cultivators five years ago, we have been studying their superstring shield generators. Based on that, we have established our own superstring theory and membrane theory!"
"However, our knowledge in that regard is still insufficient after all. We can only simply copy them right now, and we haven't completely figured out the mechanism yet!
"But it doesn't matter. We still have a hundred years to catch up with the Imperium and the Holy League! In the next hundred years, I, Sister Long, and all my junior brothers and sisters will have to work harder! "
Xie Anan's words and the lists of all the magical equipment and techniques hanging on the fountain of spiritual energy lit up the fire deep inside the eyes of the college students from the Flying Star Sector like sparks.
The college students were all thirsty, and their blood was boiling.
Time waits for no one. They had to seize every second!
Xie Anan and Long Yunxin tapped on the fountain of spiritual energy softly and chose the route of the first day's visit.
What they paid attention to first was, of course, the magical equipment related to mining on the resource planets.
The Flying Star Sector was a world with multiple space zones and a boundless heartland. There were a lot of planets with abundant resources but harsh environments.
How to exploit the resources on those planets in the cheapest, most efficient, and safest way was the biggest problem that haunted every Cultivator of the Flying Star Sector.
The Resource Collection Pavilion, which was located in the open air, was definitely one of the most eye-catching exhibition areas in the entire Magical Equipment Exposition.
The organizer had suspended a model of a resource planet more than three hundred meters in diameter in midair with anti-gravity rune arrays.
On the 'resource planet', 'mini' mines, mines, and mining bases were everywhere. Countless mining magical equipment that looked like ants were busy, too. One could only see them clearly with a magnifying glass.
What attracted the college students the most was a self-propelled mining base that looked like a 'tortoise', as well as the 'miners' around the 'tortoise' that looked like metal spiders.
It could be seen that the metal spiders were delivering 'minerals' the size of rice grains to the tortoise's abdomen, while colorful flames of spiritual energy were spurting out of the tortoise's back. Very soon, the 'tortoise shell' slid to two sides, and more metal spiders crawled out and joined the mining army!
"Such a self-propelled mining base was developed by us by absorbing part of the technology of the war bases of the Imperium of True Human Beings."
Holding her head high, Xie Anan introduced proudly, "Because we do not need to consider the problem of a super long-distance space jump. We do not need to achieve a hundred percent automation, and we do not need to embed too many attack and defense modules, the difficulty of the design is greatly reduced!"
"What you see here is just a model. The real test models have been shipped to the depths of the Flying Star Sector and are now working!
"Once the experiment succeeds, the automatic mining collection and purification center and the mining spiders will be the best assistants for the demon miners and significantly increase their mining efficiency!"
The university students clicked their tongues in wonder. Like other tourists, they stepped on the floating discs and flew into the sky to observe the model of the resource planet from a close distance. Some of them even stood in a long line and tried to manipulate the mining spiders on the virtual console with their own hands.
After observing for two hours, they finally went to the next exhibition area unwillingly.
This place, on the other hand, was like a large toy store. Colorful toy models were everywhere. Starships, shuttles, Crystal Suit, and even the models of the 'Colossi', which were very popular in the three Sectors right now, were displayed on the shelves casually for the tourists to play with.
This was a children's paradise. Many children couldn't move their feet once they came here. They waved their toy models and made "Xiu Xiu" sounds. They played with each other and had a lot of fun.
A vague fragrance was spreading in the air. Many of the toy models were still warm, indicating that they had just been manufactured.
Next to the area of toy models were dozens of enormous square tempered glassware. Inside the glassware, interconnected metal tubes were distributed and moved agilely with the help of axes.
The metal tubes looked like flutes, with tiny holes all over them.
Tiny 'threads' were spurting out of the holes now and then. Refined by the flames of spiritual energy, the 'threads' were melted and gradually outlined into components. After cooling for a moment, they were spurted out of the discharge ports down below.
Long Yunxin picked up a component. It felt neither gold nor iron in her hands. It was extremely delicate and light, but it had been refined delicately and meticulously. Every curve and every corner was flawless!
"This is amazing!"
Long Yunxin knew that it was extremely difficult to produce such a 'twelve-curved, special-shaped component'. With the traditional cutting method, it would take half a day to cut out one component. It would also have to be polished by a seasoned refiner in person. Not only was it time-consuming and laborious, the yield of the components was extremely low, too. One or two out of ten components would certainly be scrapped.
But just now, it took no more than five minutes for the weird magical equipment of refining to spit out a component!
Long Yunxin did not find any refiners near the magical equipment. The dozens of pieces of refining magical equipment were all controlled by crystal processors. It was a standard assembly line operation.
But she did not sense the intense spiritual waves that a traditional furnace should have, either. Such a piece of brand-new magical equipment of refining was terrifyingly 'quiet'!
Pondering for a moment, Long Yunxin suddenly widened her eyes and stammered, "Is — is this the technique of spiritual energy spray and 3D printing?"
"Exactly!"
Xie Anan smiled and said, "It is also the technology that was analyzed from the war bases of the Immortal Cultivators. Together with part of the techniques that we acquired from the relics of the Pangu civilization, we have made a preliminary step over the difficulties of the 3D printing technology!
"Such a technology can significantly reduce the difficulty of the production of super-complicated components. It will also allow us to test the appearance and form of the new components on the crystal processors freely. We can also 'print' materials that are lighter in weight to replace the traditional, clumsy alloys!
"We have already tested the components produced with the '3D printing' technology on some Crystal Suits. We have discovered that, without lowering the defense ability, the Crystal Suit that adopts the 3D printing can reduce the weight of the suit by 7%, which significantly improves the combat ability and the endurance of the suit!
"In the future, if we are going to sail in space and discover a vaster world, such a technology will be absolutely necessary!
"The space on a starship is limited. It is impossible to carry infinite magical equipment and refining facilities on board. Also, the environment deep in the sea of stars is unpredictable. There is no telling what kind of magical equipment will be used.
"It's quite a headache to choose the magical equipment before we set off!"
"With the new refining facilities that adopt the 'spiritual energy spray and 3D printing' technology, the conundrum has been largely resolved.
"As long as you carry a piece of 3D printing magical equipment and store the corresponding production flowcharts in your crystal processor, you will be able to print out the basic magical equipment that does not have a high requirement on the hardness of the materials. Even for the more complicated magical equipment, such as a crystal suit, if it is damaged, you can still print out the components to deal with it!"
"After the technology is upgraded, chances are that you will be able to print super-large, complicated magical equipment such as' star beacons' directly. Then, you will no longer need to carry the cumbersome star beacons to outer space every time! The empty space inside the Cosmos Ring will allow you to carry more food, water, and crystals, which will significantly improve your survivability and endurance! "
Hearing Xie Anan's explanation, the college students couldn't help but feel amazed. Many of them, who were still innocent, even shamelessly picked up a few models of the Crystal Suit and played with them.
Long Yunxin picked up a model, too. She snapped her fingers and dismantled the Crystal Suit into the tiniest components. She discovered that, although the model was small, it had all the necessary components. Most of the magical equipment units were in a precise and seamless form, which was entirely different from regular toy models.
She couldn't help but feel that the world was changing too fast. Even she, a lecturer in a top university of the Flying Star Sector, was overwhelmed by the Magical Equipment Exposition, not to mention the ordinary people!
"What's that?"
Long Yunxin pointed at a fruitful tree not far away and asked.
She felt that such a bright red tree was rather abrupt here. Wasn't this the 'New Materials Exhibition Area'?
