Miss Tang's words raised a thousand ripples. The best mechanics and modifications in the Dragon Snake Space Zone all jumped to their feet.
"That's impossible. What kind of person could have such a high level of skill? They didn't even leave a single trace, and none of us noticed it?"
"Also, Miss Tang, you are exaggerating. 7% of the potential that even Wu Yaxuan, the original designer, did not notice. This — this is too —"
"Such adjustment skills can't exist in the world, can they? Zhao Tongtian is an expert in the Core Formation Stage after all. He is one of the best in the pyramid among thousands of Cultivators. If the Crystal Suit is not suitable for him, who was it adjusted for?"
"More importantly, other than Sha Yongming, Master Chu, and Miss Tang at the very beginning, no fourth person adjusted the Crystal Suit at all!"
Nie Siyuan, the manager of the Maintenance Department, stepped forward and said solemnly, "Exactly. Fellow Cultivator Tang, please take a look at the videos of the test field in the past six hours. At that time, you helped Zhao Tongtian adjust the Crystal Suit next to the test field. He felt that he had found the ultimate treasure and refused to take it off after he put it on. He had been training all the time until something went wrong with the Crystal Suit. If a fourth person touched the Crystal Suit, when was it?"
Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! Every picture in the test field was enlarged, especially the one where Miss Tang returned the Crystal Suit to Zhao Tongtian after the adjustment.
It could be clearly seen that, other than the overjoyed Zhao Tongtian, the dumbfounded workers, and the silent bystanders who were almost worshipping Miss Tang, no fourth person had ever approached the Azure Thunder, much less touched it!
Miss Tang enlarged the picture and slowed it down by three times. She observed carefully one second after another, but she did not notice anything wrong at all.
Looking at her hands in a daze, she recalled the subtle and profound feedback that she sensed from the Azure Thunder just now and shook her head softly.
Could it be that he was mistaken?
It was impossible!
Pondering for a moment, Miss Tang said slowly, "Master Chu, Manager Nie, why don't you come and take a look, too? It's mainly about the output sensitivity of the crystal reactor."
"What?!"
Chu Chongjiu and Nie Siyuan were both greatly alarmed. "The crystal reactor of the Crystal Suit has been modified?"
In a Crystal Suit, there were two most important, precise, and solid units, which were the crystal processor responsible for the control and the crystal reactor responsible for the power output.
It was equivalent to a person's brain and heart.
According to the unwritten rules in the Crystal Suit Maintenance and Refining Circle, crystal processors and crystal reactors would be refined into fully enclosed "black boxes".
For such a brand-new Crystal Suit that had just been produced and was of such a high quality, it was not usually adjusted by the crystal processor and the crystal reactor unless it was sent back to the factory for maintenance.
It was because the two units were too important and precise. If the refiner did not have a deep understanding of the original designer's thoughts and ideas in refining, and if they did not boast the expertise of the original designer, it was very likely that they would make mistakes. It was even possible that they could not be reinstalled after they were dismantled, or that they could not be adjusted to the original performance after they were installed.
The Azure Thunder had been sent to this place because the shoulder pads and the arm pads were not functioning properly and required routine maintenance. Naturally, the crystal processor and the crystal reactor were not dismantled.
Even Chu Chongjiu and Miss Tang had abided by the rules of refiners. They had only adjusted the components on the surface and did not go deep into the crystal processor and the crystal reactor.
But right now, Miss Tang was saying that the crystal reactor of the Crystal Suit had been tampered with?
Chu Chongjiu and Nie Siyuan both looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Even if they had seen a ghost, they would not have been so shocked. There were too many ghosts on the street nowadays. What was so rare about a whole planet of the Nether World Sector that was full of ghosts?
However, to adjust such an advanced crystal reactor of the Azure Thunder without a sound under the watchful eyes of so many refiners was certainly not a word that could describe it as' terrifying '!
Chu Chongjiu and Nie Siyuan both extended their hands into the cavity of the Azure Thunder and stuck to the spiritual energy output circuit of the crystal reactor, one on the left and the other on the right.
For Cultivators of their level, their hands were the best detectors. The perception and feedback of spiritual energy released by their hands were as sensitive as bats identifying obstacles with soundwaves.
"Increase the power output of the crystal reactor of the Azure Thunder."
With a gloomy face, Nie Siyuan spoke to his disciple, Sha Yongming.
Hum … Hum … Hum …
The Azure Thunder shivered slightly, and the crystal reactor immediately uttered feeble noises.
As the power output changed in different stages, the two masters of refining from different worlds, who were equally respected and experienced, bulged their eyes at the same time. Their eyebrows and beards were shaking so hard that they seemed to be falling off from their faces.
"Did — did it really —"
There was not the slightest trace of blood on the faces of the two masters.
"You both sensed it, didn't you?"
Miss Tang sounded surprised, too. "The crystal reactor of the Azure Thunder has been adjusted. The maximum speed and sensitivity of the output of spiritual energy have been significantly improved. It is even … too sensitive. It is multiple times faster than the reaction speed of the Core Formation Stage Cultivators such as Zhao Tongtian! Before he could finish his thought, the Crystal Suit reacted automatically! No wonder he felt that there were thorns in his back! "
"It is true for the Core Formation Stage Cultivators, but it may be very suitable for the Yuanying Cultivators whose reaction speed and thought generation speed are faster. But it is just a possibility!"
"However!"
Chu Chongjiu's throat was cracking. His face was as terrifying as that of a zombie. "Who? When? How did they do it?"
"I don't know. I really don't know."
Looking at the dark cavity of the Azure Thunder as if she were looking at a black hole, Ms. Tang mumbled, "Perhaps he snuck into the Azure Thunder with the pure spiritual energy and adjusted the super tiny circuits inside the crystal reactor, recalculating and resetting the layout of the spiritual energy circuits inside?"
"Remote manipulation?"
Chu Chongjiu and Nie Siyuan looked at each other and shook their heads subconsciously. "That's impossible. Although remote manipulation is a fundamental technique for the high-level Cultivators, it is usually only used to control flying swords and bullets. Everybody knows that the smaller the object to be controlled, the shorter the distance to be moved, and the finer the operation will be. The difficulty of the operation will be exponentially higher!"
"There are hundreds of control chips and more than ten thousand super-tiny components inside the crystal reactor. Rearranging the crystal wires that are thinner than a hair and the chips that are smaller than a grain of rice and adjusting them with the mustard-seed technology with the remote manipulation technique? Is it really possible to do that? That's too unbelievable! "
"Also, the crystal reactor is a 'black box unit' that is protected. To resist the intense blasts and the interference of spiritual energy on the battlefield, five to seven layers of protection and buffer rune arrays have been carved on the outside of the crystal reactor. It is truly impregnable! How did the telepathic thoughts that are used to remotely manipulate objects bypass so many layers of defense and sneak into the crystal reactor?
"Most importantly of all, assuming that such a 'super tuner' does exist, when and how did he do everything? After all, the crystal suit has never left Zhao Tongtian's hands from the beginning to the end! "
Miss Tang was even more confused by Chu Chongjiu's questions. Looking at the eyes of every bystander on the surveillance picture, she shook her head and said, "I don't know. Naturally, the guy couldn't have done anything when Zhao Tongtian was wearing the Crystal Suit. After all, the light membrane on the surface of the Crystal Suit was already functioning automatically at that time. Perhaps, when Uncle Chu and I were fighting, the guy inputted a … hidden force into the Crystal Suit that can be delayed without alarming anyone."
"Miss … Miss Tang!"
Chu Chongjiu couldn't help but ask, "Are you suggesting that, when the two of us turned on the plate armor and the maintenance panel of the Crystal Suit and poured our spiritual energy into it to adjust it wholeheartedly, a tuner multiple times more brilliant than us was right next to us and sent a hidden force into the Crystal Suit without alarming anyone, evading our detection and bypassing the defense rune arrays on the crystal reactor itself. He infiltrated the reactor and performed delicate operations on the mustard-seed level. Also, with a certain … unbelievable technique, he delayed the result of the significant increase in sensitivity and did not break out until half a day after we left?"
Miss Tang was rendered speechless. "Well …"
She also felt that she was exaggerating. How could such a thing happen in the world?
"Alright."
Nie Siyuan stared at the 'Azure Thunder' deeply, as if he were looking at a devil that had crawled out of the deepest blue hell. He suddenly said, "Thank you for your help. Now that the cause of the 'fault' has been found, let's call it a day. Such a fault is not something that can be fixed in a small place like ours. I will suggest that the owner of the crystal suit send it back to the original manufacturer and ask the designer and refiner to repair it."
"Manager Nie?"
Miss Tang raised her eyebrow and looked at Nie Siyuan in confusion. "That's it? We don't know who did it yet! "
Nie Siyuan took a deep breath, and the corners of his eyes were trembling because of fear. He said with difficulty, "No matter who did this, when, how, or what his purpose is, I don't want to know at all. Also, I advise the two of you not to look for the answer."
"There are a lot of secrets in this world, but some of them are things that you would rather never know after you learn the answer. There are also many people that you would rather never meet after you see their real face!"
