The dozen or so crafting furnaces of the Grand Desolate War Institution had been purchased from different sects at different times. Some of them had even been crafted by themselves. Regardless of whether it was their style or the principle of spiritual energy operation, they were vastly different. …
However, since the founding of the Xing Yao Federation, in order to meet the needs of large-scale wars, the Cultivation sects had been implementing the "Magical Equipment Component Standardization" system.
As for the basic components such as rivets, screws, gears, bearings, and so on, it was completely unnecessary for each sect to adopt a unified standard.
As for the core components, the interfaces and specifications were as consistent as possible to ensure the highest compatibility.
The magical equipment of Sect A could be engraved with the array glyphs of Sect B and activated with the crystals refined by Sect C. Only in this way could the war potential of the Cultivation World be excavated and the war for survival between the human civilization and the demon civilization be won!
"Which plan should I use? Safe or radical? "
Li Yao hesitated for three seconds before he made up his mind.
"Either I don't fight, or I fight until the end!"
"I'll use the most radical plan. I'll use all the advanced magical equipment components and strive to blast out the maximum performance!"
The idea was very good, but in the actual operation, he encountered all kinds of unexpected difficulties.
Some of them were because the theoretical research was not thorough enough. Some of them were because he lacked experience in modifying magical equipment. Most importantly, Li Yao's spiritual energy was not profound enough to engrave complex and powerful array glyphs.
Li Yao wanted to give up several times and change to a safe modification plan.
However, when he thought of the 40000 credits waiting for him, he had to persist even if he had to grit his teeth until they broke!
When he encountered a problem that the grassroots theory could not solve, he tried to solve it with the methods of the elites and the classics.
When he encountered a powerful array glyphs that could not be engraved, he engraved seven or eight low-level array glyphs of the same type and connected them together.
When he encountered a conflict between two magical equipment units that could not be resolved, he added seventeen or eighteen stabilizing array glyphs. Then, he added four or five stabilizing array glyphs on top of the stabilizing array glyphs. In order to achieve the effect of layer upon layer of reinforcement, patches upon patches.
Three hours later, when the finished product was out of the furnace, it was completely unrecognizable. It had turned into a "magically modified" monster!
Around the pitch-black main body of the furnace, hundreds of thick crystal cables were scattered in a disorderly manner. Twelve magical equipment units made up of rivets, gears, and stabilizing rune arrays were connected.
Li Yao felt that the original eight units were not powerful enough, so he added four powerful units that he dismantled from the debris.
At first glance, this crafting furnace looked like it had just been ravaged by a Yuanying monster. It was completely a pile of scrap metal.
The more Li Yao looked at it, the more he liked it. The more he looked at it, the more perfect it was. He couldn't wait to take out a magic weapon that looked like a tortoise shell.
This was a Seismic Wave Meter, which could blast out a special spiritual wave. It was specifically used to test whether or not a large piece of magical equipment made up of multiple units was properly installed.
If the installation is perfect. The spiritual energy communication between the various magical equipment units was very smooth. Then, the spiritual wave would return to the seismometer after circulating for a while and emit green light.
When he saw the green light, it meant that he had succeeded. He only needed to carve the fixing and sealing array glyphs before he could put it to use.
If there were still any gaps, the spirit wave would shake violently and shatter the magic treasure. However, it would not destroy the components so that the refiner could assemble them a second time.
"God bless me. Let's succeed in one try! "
Li Yao muttered as he opened his eyes wide and activated the seismometer.
… …
Yuan Manqiu was in a very good mood.
She had coaxed and pestered the principal for an entire night and finally got an additional 5% of resources.
It didn't seem like a lot, but don't forget that the original budget was arranged according to the scale of several hundred teachers and students. Now, only Li Yao was left. An additional 5% of resources was enough to fill his belly until it was round.
Then, she found a few familiar teachers and indirectly inquired about Li Yao's performance in the past month. The more she inquired, the more she felt that this kid was unfathomable and had a lot of potential to be excavated.
She originally planned to return to the Refining Department at dawn. But now, she suddenly changed her mind.
The 1st Generation Tai 'e crafting furnace was a magical equipment from more than a hundred years ago. Its structure was not difficult, but it was not simple either. She would treat it as a special test to test Li Yao's hands-on ability. She wanted to see when he would discover that the core components were not consistent with the blueprint.
However, after waiting for a long time, she still didn't receive Li Yao's spiritual crane message at noon.
"Could it be that this kid still hasn't discovered that something is wrong?"
Yuan Manqiu was somewhat unable to sit still. She moved her fat butt and walked towards the refining room.
While walking, she chatted with the Mountain Sea Sect's logistics supervisor, Jiang Wenbo, through the spiritual crane message. The latter was sending her the correct blueprint of the 1st Generation Tai 'e furnace.
"Big Sis, the 1st Generation Tai 'e crafting furnace is too old. Many of its assembly processes require techniques from more than a hundred years ago. Also, these array glyphs have long been eliminated. Let alone learning them, the youngsters nowadays have never even seen them. Isn't it too much for you to use this thing to test your disciple?" Jiang Wenbo shook his head and said.
Yuan Manqiu faintly smiled:
"For ordinary people, perhaps it is too much. However, this disciple of mine is not simple at all. I have high expectations for him. How about we make a bet? I bet that he has at least completed the assembly of five magical equipment units."
Jiang Wenbo disapproved:
"Big Sis, you are too confident. No matter how monstrous he is, he is still a freshman. Three, at most, he has completed three magical equipment units!"
Yuan Manqiu nodded: "Okay, the refining room is just ahead. We will know the answer soon. As for the bet, that is —"
"Boom!"
A loud noise interrupted her words.
Yuan Manqiu and Jiang Wenbo were stunned at the same time.
Both of them were senior refiners. Naturally, they could tell that this was the roar of the Seismic Wave Instrument.
"What the hell? Could it be that this kid actually completed the assembly of the crafting furnace and used the Seismic Wave Instrument? "
"But from the sound, it seems that he failed?"
"Even if he failed, isn't he too monstrous? Without the correct blueprint and assembly process, he is like a blind man riding a blind horse. How could he possibly assemble it, even if he assembled it incorrectly?! "
Yuan Manqiu and Jiang Wenbo glanced at each other and quickened their pace.
The warehouse was in a mess. The furnace toppled over and rolled to the corner. Thousands of magical equipment components were scattered everywhere. It was as if two tornadoes had just fought here.
Li Yao sat in the corner with a sluggish expression:
"How could it fail? It should have been able to connect. How could the spiritual energy be blocked? "
Jiang Wenbo was incomparably astonished:
"Big Sis, this disciple of yours is incredible. He actually assembled the crafting furnace. However, he used the wrong blueprint, so of course it would fail!"
Yuan Manqiu was also quite excited. She knew that she had picked up a treasure this time.
So what if it was a failure? Those with slightly inferior hands-on ability didn't even have the qualifications to fail because they simply couldn't assemble it!
"Li Yao, you just finished assembling the crafting furnace and then used the Seismic Wave Instrument to test it?"
Yuan Manqiu asked with a trembling voice.
Li Yao faintly said: "Yes, Teacher. I thought that I had finished assembling it. I had calculated every step clearly and every detail was perfect. In the end … I still failed! "
He deeply sighed and sadly said: "The world of magical equipment is really too mysterious, too profound, and too wonderful. I still have a lot to learn. I really shouldn't have overestimated myself!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!"
Yuan Manqiu was bursting with joy, "The 1st Generation Tai 'e crafting furnace was refined more than a hundred years ago. There are several difficulties in the assembly process that are far beyond the scope of your ability. Failure is very normal. Don't be discouraged. In my opinion, you are already very strong! "
She sat down next to Li Yao and patted her disciple's shoulder, "Come. Tell me about your assembly process from beginning to end. Old Jiang and I will study it. Oh right, this is Teacher Jiang Wenbo. He is a senior refiner with rich experience. "
"Hello, Teacher Jiang!" Li Yao forced himself to be spirited. He faced the hologram and saluted.
"Well said, well said. Originally, Big Sis said that you were a genius, but I still didn't believe it. Now that I see that you can even assemble the 1st Generation Tai 'e crafting furnace, even I am a bit moved. Come, come, young man. Quickly tell me how you assembled it!"
Jiang Wenbo was also interested.
"Alright!"
Li Yao frowned and recalled for a moment. He honestly said, "At the beginning, it was quite smooth. I used four hours to complete the assembly of eight magical equipment units. After …"
"What!"
Jiang Wenbo couldn't help but interrupt him, "You only used four hours to complete eight magical equipment units? Oh, go on. Go on! "
Li Yao was surprised for a moment. He saw that the two's complexion was somewhat strange, as if he had done something out of line. He sorted out his thoughts, "When I was preparing to assemble the core components, I found that the drawing and the object did not match. Therefore, I threw the drawing aside and drew the structural diagram according to the object. Then, I deduced the assembly flow chart..."
"What!"
This time, it was Yuan Manqiu who cried out, "You drew the structural diagram according to these components and deduced the assembly flow chart? Quickly, quickly take out the structural diagram you drew and let us have a look! "
Li Yao suspiciously glanced at the two. He thought to himself, "Why are these two senior refiners so startled? Why do they have to interrupt me every time I say a word?"
He activated the structural diagram and the flow chart he drew from the crystal processor and showed it to the two senior refiners.
The two glanced at it and simultaneously sucked in a mouthful of cold air.
Along the way, they had been studying the structural diagram of the 1st Generation Tai 'e crafting furnace for half a day. They had memorized several key points by heart. With just a glance, they knew that the structural diagram drawn by Li Yao was completely correct. The assembly flow chart was also roughly the same!
"This, this is simply..."
Jiang Wenbo was somewhat confused. His lips trembled for a long time, but he was unable to utter a single word.
A freshman who had just entered the university, who was still a high school student a few months ago, was actually able to draw the structural diagram and deduced the assembly flow chart by relying on some scattered magical equipment components!
Could it be that this kid started assembling magical equipment when he was still in his mother's womb?
Yuan Manqiu was even more excited to the point that she was trembling. Every muscle on her face was undulating. Her long, shapely eyebrows stood up as she screamed, "No, since you drew the structural diagram and deduced the assembly flow chart, how could it fail? Quickly, quickly, quickly! What are you going to do next? Don't miss a single detail! "
"Next, it's like this —"
Li Yao cleared his throat, "I analyzed the structural diagram and found that the performance of the crafting furnace assembled in this way was too poor. Therefore, I had the idea of modifying it."
"I have a temperature-controlling chip for a 7th Generation Dan Xia crafting furnace, a Spirit Suppressor for a 5th Generation Dong Zhen crafting furnace, and a roughly intact anti-gravity unit for a Blue Jade crafting furnace. Also..."
He recited the names of hundreds of components like a tongue twister. Soon after, he pulled out several dozen structural diagrams from the hologram.
"Revolving around these components, I have formulated five sets of modification plans. They are all here. Please take a look, teachers."
"In fact, if I had assembled according to the most reliable plan, it might not have been impossible to succeed. It's all my fault for being too impatient, too proud, and not taking magical equipment seriously. I had to choose the most radical plan."
"According to my train of thought, the difficulty of the radical plan was mainly in the engraving of the stabilizing array glyphs."
"With my strength, I was still unable to engrave a powerful high-level stabilizing array glyphs. I braced myself and thought of a way. Using a secret method that I accidentally saw in an ancient book, I superimposed several low-level stabilizing array glyphs together. Teachers, please take a look. The principle of spiritual energy operation of this superimposed array glyphs is like this..."
"Then, through these two splitter chips refined according to the elite's train of thought, I can change its spiritual energy winding pattern and simulate the effect of the high-level stabilizing array glyphs."
"According to this train of thought, the final completed structural diagram is like this, and the spiritual energy circulation diagram is like this... Teachers, please take a look. Here, here, and here, I have reinforced these few key parts. It's reasonable to say that it shouldn't have failed!"
"I have racked my brain, but I still can't figure it out. Teachers, please give me some pointers and see where the problem lies."
Li Yao took no less than ten minutes to finish speaking. He looked at the two senior craftsmen anxiously.
Yuan Manqiu and Jiang Wenbo were dumbstruck as they stared at the several dozen structural diagrams and spiritual energy circulation diagrams flying in the air.
