"Huo —"
When Li Yao's modified 1st Generation Tai'e crafting furnace appeared before everyone's eyes, everyone in the Empyrean Terminus Sect, including the experienced and knowledgeable Senior Refiner Lei Yongming, sucked in a breath of cold air and fell into a sluggish state. ±
What they saw was not a crafting furnace, but a steel jungle!
It covered an area of more than forty meters and was more than twenty meters tall. The crisscrossing steel pipes formed a mysterious and complex maze. Countless crystal wires were like vines climbing on the steel frame. In the depths of the steel jungle, magical equipment units were built high up in the air like a bird's nest. The colorful crystals were flickering, emitting a magnificent radiance, making the steel jungle seem as though it was alive and breathing.
With a rough glance, there were no less than thirty magical equipment units, which greatly exceeded the design limit of the 1st Generation Tai'e furnace!
The refining styles of the various magical equipment units and components were completely different. Some were delicate and exquisite, while some were rough and bold. However, they were forcibly entangled by the crystal wires, showing a kind of unbridled ugliness.
Many of the magical equipment units were arranged with heat dissipation systems and air conduction holes, which spewed out large clouds of steam and issued a "wuuu wuuu" sound. It was like a miasma pervading the air, making the steel jungle appear mysterious and unfathomable. It was as though a monster could jump out from the depths of the miasma at any time.
"What, what is this!?"
"Dozens of different styles of crafting furnaces have been randomly put together. It looks like a deformed monster!"
After recovering from his initial astonishment, Jin Quan's heart gave birth to an extremely absurd feeling.
"Although the Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department is the headquarters of grassroots refiners, this thing is too grassroots!"
Stealthily looking back, many of the students seemed as though they had just woken up from a dream. All of them had strange expressions on their faces.
A chubby male student's face was flushed red from holding back his laughter. His shoulders were shaking as he wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare.
Everyone was no stranger to refining. They knew that magical equipment was not something where the more functional units were put together, the more powerful the overall performance would be.
There were also the crucial issues of compatibility and coordination.
At first glance, the "monster-level" crafting furnace in front of their eyes was somewhat intimidating. It was loaded with many powerful magical equipment units.
However, the style and operating principles of these magical equipment units were completely different. They were randomly put together. How could compatibility be solved? How smooth was the operation? Would it malfunction every three to five minutes?
Understanding this, the astonishment in the eyes of Jin Quan and all the other students dissipated and was replaced by a touch of contempt.
Fortunately, the students all remembered Jin Quan's instructions. No one laughed on the spot, but each and every one of them blushed and looked at each other in dismay, using their eyes to communicate the ridicule in their hearts.
Only Elder Lei Yongming was staring at the depths of the steel jungle. He seemed to be lost in thought as he muttered:
"Professor Yuan. The crafting furnace you've modified … is not simple! "
Yuan Manqiu faintly smiled. She pulled up the performance parameters from the crystal processor and turned the hologram towards Lei Yongming and Jin Quan:
"Please take a look. After our modification, the final performance parameters of the 1st Generation Tai'e are like this."
Elder Lei Yongming swept a glance at him. His expression was somewhat astonished, and the spots on his forehead suddenly lit up.
However, Jin Quan was not so shrewd and only took a glance. It was as if he had been stung by the Emerald Blood Poisonous Bee.
"What? Within a minute, the temperature of the furnace can be raised from room temperature to more than 6000 degrees. The maximum temperature change per second can reach 500 degrees, and the furnace can be divided into nine refining spaces with different temperatures. At most, it can process 180 workpieces at the same time? "
"How, how is this still the 1st Generation Tai'e crafting furnace? It has simply reached the overall performance of the 6th Generation Tai'e crafting furnace! "
"In some parameters, it's not even comparable to the 6th Generation Tai'e. It's even more powerful than the 7th Generation Tai'e! "
"And this section, if you don't care about the wear and tear, it can even refine the hardest rhinoceros horn of the Mystic Steel Bone Rhinoceros? Are you kidding me?! "
"Even if you really pieced together the wreckage of so many advanced crafting furnaces and barely achieved such performance, it will not last for an extended period of time. At most, it will be scrapped after one or two uses, or even explode! "
Jin Quan's face and ears were flushed red. His neck swelled as he spoke faster and faster. He used his chatter to cover up the super strong earthquake in his heart.
After hearing the series of gorgeous performance parameters, the numerous youths behind him were even more flabbergasted. They were all dumbfounded.
Just by relying on this pile of junk, some of its performance could actually catch up with the latest model crafting furnace of the Empyrean Terminus Sect?
How! Could! But! Could!
Elder Lei Yongming approached the hologram and seriously studied it for a while before calmly saying:
"Professor Yuan, you are a well-known expert in the crafting circle. This old man naturally won't doubt that the crafting furnace you modified truly possesses such gorgeous performance."
"However, whether a crafting furnace is qualified or not, on one hand, it depends on its extreme performance, and on the other hand, it also depends on its stability."
"Is it possible to take out the blueprints and spiritual energy flow diagrams so that everyone can study them and see whether or not the crafting furnace can maintain its stability when it outputs these performance parameters?"
Yuan Manqiu laughed heartily:
"This is only natural. Since we want to obtain the approval of the Empyrean Terminus Sect, the blueprints and spiritual energy flow diagrams must be taken out for the two of you to examine. However, there is one thing I need to let Elder Lei know — this crafting furnace wasn't modified by me. From the beginning to the end, I didn't intervene. From the creation of the modification plan, the drawing of the blueprints, and the tightening of each bolt, everything was done by my disciple. It would be more appropriate to ask him to explain it to the two of you."
Elder Lei Yongming didn't react for a while as doubt appeared on his face:
"I heard that your school's Refining Department only has one new student. Could it be that Professor Yuan has an even more outstanding disciple outside?"
Yuan Manqiu shook her head and said straightforwardly:
"No, I only have this one student right now. If I can teach him well, I will be perfectly satisfied. From the beginning to the end, this crafting furnace was modified by my disciple, Li Yao. I didn't even touch a single nail. Li Yao? Li Yao! "
The two words "Li Yao" were like two fierce and heavy punches, bombarding Jin Quan to the point where he was on the verge of collapse.
He shook his head with all his might and calmed himself down as he madly shouted in his heart:
"What are you bragging about? A new student who just entered the school half a year ago was able to complete such a complicated modification and even produce such gorgeous performance? It must be Yuan Manqiu who gave him pointers behind the scenes. She taught him personally! "
Jin Quan still didn't dare to underestimate Yuan Manqiu, this former "Deep Sea Goddess".
If it was Yuan Manqiu who made it, there was actually a 1% chance that she could produce such performance.
But just by relying on Li Yao, this ignorant and fearless madman?
Such a possibility didn't exist!
"Hmph, I originally wanted to give you some face and just casually say a few words. But I didn't expect you to come up with such a pile of scrap metal and even dare to boast and label such exaggerated performance parameters. You even said that it was modified by a new student and that it was this Li Yao who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth! "
"Then don't blame me!"
"Wait until you take out the blueprints and spiritual energy flow diagrams. I will casually point out a few key points. You brat will definitely not know anything and make a fool of yourself in front of everyone."
"You still want to challenge our Deep Sea University's Refining Department? Dream on! "
Jin Quan made up his mind. His eyes flashed as the corner of his mouth hooked up into a sneer.
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
Following Yuan Manqiu's shout. From behind the steel jungle came the sound of footsteps that shook the mountains and the earth.
It was as if a giant beast was slowly walking out from the depths of the miasma.
"What's going on? Whose footsteps are so heavy? Walking like a demon beast?"
The students looked at each other in dismay. Their brain cells were somewhat insufficient.
Although Teacher Jin had repeatedly warned them a moment ago that no matter what they saw, they must endure. But...
It was truly unbearable!
Not long after, a young man drilled out from the steam. As soon as he appeared, everyone's eyes bulged!
His upper body. Revealing a body of well-defined but not exaggerated muscles, he was concentrating on studying a hologram full of calculations. His left hand was very casually carrying a huge iron chest.
The words on the iron chest were written: "Black Copper Stone, one ton!"
Black Copper Stone was one of the most commonly used consumables in refining. It could help raise the furnace temperature in an instant.
The biggest characteristic of Black Copper Stone was that it was extremely dense and heavy. A fist-sized piece weighed several dozen kilograms. Generally, it was transported using magical equipment.
"Boom!"
Li Yao put down the iron chest filled with Black Copper Stone. The strong vibration made the soles of everyone's feet numb.
It seemed that inside the chest was a ton of Black Copper Stone!
"It can't be, right? He actually lifted a ton of raw materials with one hand. Moreover, looking at his appearance, it didn't seem to be strenuous at all. He didn't even sweat!"
"In our Empyrean Terminus Sect. Of course, such a heavy thing would be carried by magical equipment. Who would directly use their hands to carry it! "
"Where the hell did this freak come from? With such great strength, why is he still a refiner? Wouldn't it be better if he directly went to the Wasteland to slaughter demon beasts?"
The students felt a chill run down their spines. Seeing Li Yao walking over, some of the students with weaker temperaments couldn't help but take a step back as their necks shrunk.
Yuan Manqiu resisted the urge to laugh as she said with a face full of sincerity:
"I'm really sorry to let the two of you see a joke. Our Grand Desolate War Institution's Refining Department has just encountered an accident. Most of the funds will be used to compensate the victims' families. The remaining funds will be used on the blade's edge. In addition, this disciple of mine doesn't have much, but he has a silly strength. If he can carry it, then carry it. Buying one less auxiliary magical equipment will save us a bit of funds!"
Lei Yongming's lips moved. He really didn't know what to say.
This experienced and knowledgeable old refiner's heart was somewhat in a mess.
Jin Quan's scalp was even more numb as his hair stood up.
After Li Yao finalized the last parameter, he took two steps towards everyone. Suddenly, he stopped and tilted his head to listen for a moment.
He discovered that the sound of steam being discharged from a heat dissipation system was somewhat ear-piercing.
After muttering to himself for a moment, he squinted his eyes and calculated for three seconds. Li Yao walked towards the right side of the steel jungle and extended his hand towards the fastening bolt of the heat dissipation system.
"What is he doing?"
Everyone was at a loss. If he wanted to loosen the bolt, what about a wrench?
This bolt was the size of a fist. It was already tightly fastened. Even with a wrench, it would be very difficult to loosen it.
In the Empyrean Terminus Sect, special magical equipment was used to deal with this kind of fastening bolt. It was done by relying on spiritual energy.
