Looking at Li Jialing's glittering eyes in disbelief, Li Yao thought of something and asked, "Why? Is he very famous?"
"Yes. He was very famous until three years ago!"
Li Jialing also whispered, "Master Jin Tianzong is a professor of the Refining Department of the Imperial Polytechnical University. He seems to be the leader of a particularly famous Crystal Suit laboratory. His main research field is single magical equipment, namely Crystal Suit and Colossi. He is one of the best specialists in the field."
"Oh? He is from the Imperial Polytechnical University?"
Li Yao's eyes glittered, and the eagerness in his eyes was even more intense.
He was from the Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution, one of the most famous "Nine Elite Universities" in the Xing Yao Federation.
After meeting the Immortal Cultivators such as Su Changfa and Di Feiwen, he was naturally very interested in the most famous "holy land of refining" in the Imperium.
According to Su Changfa and Di Feiwen's introduction, the circle of refiners in the Imperium of True Human Beings was basically dominated by three major universities.
The Imperial Polytechnical University, the Imperial Polytechnical University, and the Imperial Advanced College of Metallurgy represented the peak of magical equipment refining in the Imperium of True Human Beings.
Among them, the Imperial Polytechnical University was one of the best comprehensive universities in the Imperium of True Human Beings. It boasted the professions such as the "Archaeology Department", which monopolized more than 50% of the exploration of primeval relics. It could form a good interaction with the Refining Department.
Therefore, the Refining Department of the Imperial Polytechnical University was the best in the Imperium!
The Imperial Polytechnical University, on the other hand, did not have so many primeval relics to excavate. Instead, it boasted remarkable advantages in industrial design.
In comparison, the Imperial Polytechnical University was more creative and less bound by predecessors and traditions. It was often able to produce all kinds of bizarre, original, and creative experimental magical equipment. It was also the "holy land of refining" and the "paradise of magical equipment" for countless Immortal Cultivators of the Imperium!
A master of refining in the Divinity Transformation Stage from the Imperial Polytechnical University was truly worth a visit!
Li Jialing continued, "In the past hundred years, Master Jin Tianzong has developed more than fifteen models of brand-new Crystal Suit and owns thousands of patents. He has even won the 'Heavenly Craftsmen Award', the highest award in the circle of refiners of the Imperium, for two years in a row. He is one of the few super masters who has won the honor.
"I remember that Li Lingfeng collected three Crystal Suits that were polished by Master Jin Tianzong in person. He often took them out for maintenance. It was not hard to tell from the brilliance in his eyes that he was very fond of the three Crystal Suits. I wanted to observe them, but he absolutely wouldn't let me!
"However, I heard that Master Jin Tianzong died three years ago. Why is he here?"
Li Yao thought of something. Such a master of refining in the Divinity Transformation Stage was definitely a "national treasure". Any of the four Kurfürst families would definitely treat him as an honorable guest.
For Li Linghai to be able to recruit such a master, there must be something fishy going on.
Li Yao asked, "How did you 'hear' that he died?"
"It seems to have been an experiment accident. He was heavily wounded and died of depression."
Li Jialing thought for a moment and said, "However, when I came to Manjusaka for refinement last year, Li Lingfeng happened to be bringing a few Crystal Suits to Wuying Lan for modification. Wuying Lan's' Land of Sins Laboratory 'was quite capable in the field of cutting-edge magical equipment. After all, there were so many' test subjects' for him to run tests on.
"The two of them were chatting on the test field and did not avoid me. They happened to talk about Master Jin Tianzong and said that it was a shame that Master Jin perished. Otherwise, the few Crystal Suits would've been modified and adjusted by Master Jin instead of being brought to the 'Land of Sins Laboratory'. They also said that something was wrong about the whole thing and that Master Jin probably pissed off somebody."
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. "Every master of refining is backed by countless experts. Even if he did piss off somebody, who would dare do anything to a master of refining in the Divinity Transformation Stage?"
"Then, I don't know," Li Jialing said.
Li Jialing said, "I only vaguely overheard it. According to Li Lingfeng and Wuying Lan, Master Jin is best known for his fairness and selflessness in the Refining Department of the Imperial Polytechnical University. Two years ago, he even exposed a large-scale academic fraud that involved the four Kurfürst families. Hundreds of descendants of the four Kurfürst families were embarrassed, which turned into a great scandal."
Pondering for a moment, Li Yao shook his head and said, "It's true that some scoundrels will hate Master Jin for it, but it won't harm the life of a refiner in the Divinity Transformation Stage."
Li Jialing recalled for a moment. "Otherwise, it must have something to do with Master Jin's ongoing research. According to Li Lingfeng and Wuying Lan, Master Jin Tianzong was working on the 'Hybrid' Crystal Suit. He seemed to have made some progress and claimed that he had achieved a lot of critical results. But countless specialists in the circle of refiners also said that Master Jin's research was completely wrong, that the experiment data were all falsified and falsified, and that Master Jin was a man of fame.
"Master Jin was in a hurry to prove his research and carried out the highly-dangerous experiments without caring about anything. But in the end, an accident happened, and a certain toxic compound leaked out, wiping out him and his entire team. It seems … that's what happened."
"Hybrid Crystal Suit?"
Li Yao's heart was suddenly beating fast, and his pupils were almost constricted to the size of needle tips. Managing to hold back the excitement deep inside his heart, he asked, "It's the combination of the spiritual energy inside the Exo and the spiritual energy inside the super-compressed crystal reactor to achieve a single output of hybrid power. Is … Is that what you mean?"
"It seems to be."
Li Jialing said, "I don't quite understand it. It's too complicated."
"It's not just complicated. It's a f * cking universal conundrum!"
Li Yao was so excited that he couldn't help but curse with his telepathic thoughts.
The "Hybrid Crystal Suit" was indeed an earth-shattering, revolutionary idea. It was also a super conundrum that countless specialists of refining believed to be impossible to solve.
All the Crystal Suit that was popular in the civilization of mankind, whether it was the Xing Yao Federation, the Imperium of True Human Beings, or the Alliance of the Holy Covenant, or the Crystal Suit of the lowest level, the beginner battle Crystal Suit that was inserted with skill cards for the ordinary people, or the special Crystal Suit that was tailor-made for the Yuanying or the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, if they were classified in terms of power output models, they were basically of the same type — "Linkage". Two power sources were running in parallel and jointly outputting power.
After a period of training, after putting on the Crystal Suit, the ordinary people would be able to jump almost ten meters high, blow up a giant rock with one punch, and run dozens of kilometers in one hour without panting. Where did the power to make them faster, higher, and stronger come from? Naturally, it was not the energy stored by the human body itself but provided by the fuel compartment, the box of crystals, and the super-compressed crystal reactor on the back of the Crystal Suit. The best that could be achieved was the muscle and nerve reactions of the human body itself.
As long as there were fuel and crystals inside the crystal reactor, the Crystal Suit would be able to work incessantly. If the fuel ran out, the Crystal Suit would be a pile of garbage that might even crush the wearer directly.
The logic naturally worked for the ordinary people because the ordinary people were relatively weak. How could they carry the Crystal Suit that weighed hundreds of kilograms or even several tons and fight a fierce battle with their own strength?
Not to mention whether or not they could do it, even if they were injected with various strengthening drugs and excitants, they would die of exhaustion in five minutes at most.
Therefore, for the ordinary people, the Crystal Suit was the same as the armed shuttles and crystal tanks. They all relied on a single external power source, namely the crystal reactor, to output power. It was more like a 'vehicle' than an 'armor'.
But for the trainers, especially the high-level trainers, the situation was completely different.
The high-level trainers had extremely powerful souls and abundant spiritual energy inside their bodies. Some of them even had abdomens, Jin Dan, Yuanying, etc., that could automatically run and condense into certain internal reactions. It was equivalent to having a reactor hidden in the abdomen, the end of the spine, or anywhere else.
Both the Cultivators and the Immortal Cultivators were capable of moving mountains and oceans with the "reactors" inside their bodies in the first place.
When they put on the Crystal Suit, as a combat unit, they actually had two power sources. One of them was the reactor inside their bodies, and the other was the super-compressed crystal reactor inside the Crystal Suit.
But here came the question. Which of the two power sources was the primary one and which was the secondary one? How could they be balanced and coordinated?
After all, this was not an armed shuttle or a starship with two power units, where the layout and output power of the power units could be adjusted at will. One of the power sources was embedded in the human body, and even the Cultivators would find it difficult to adjust it, just like how it was impossible for ordinary people to adjust the position of their hearts at will.
The two power sources were like two legs. One was a real leg, and the other was a false leg. One was even longer than the other. How could one walk and how could one run?
The higher one's level was, the more complicated the problem would be.
The 'reactor' of the high-level Cultivators was already extremely powerful, and its output power was astronomical. The Crystal Suit that they were wearing was often a marvelous weapon, too. It was needless to say that the output power of the crystal reactor was extremely high. Even the slightest mistake could lead to dire consequences.
The beginner Crystal Suit of the lowest level was often equipped with a switching mode, which allowed the trainers to switch between the output power of the crystal reactor and the trainers themselves freely. Only one power source was used.
When the crystal reactor was used to output power, the trainers' abdomen would be more obedient.
On the other hand, if the trainers were asked to drive the Crystal Suit with their spiritual energy surging, their abdomen boiling, and their life burning, the crystal reactor would just rest and watch the trainers fight and dash on their own.
It was not hard to imagine that the trainers who were more or less ambitious would not accept such a simple and crude power output mode.
Then, on the Crystal Suit of a relatively advanced level, all kinds of delicate spiritual energy transmission and power rune arrays would be adopted. The carving and setting up of the power rune arrays had high requirements, too, in order to ensure that the crystal reactor and the trainers' own spiritual energy could be output at the same time. Also, the spiritual energy should be coordinated as much as possible so that the trainers could supplement and promote each other.
The more advanced the Crystal Suit was, the more delicate the power transmission model and the unit architecture would be. For the special Crystal Suit that was tailor-made for the Yuanying or the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, a brand-new power distribution would even be polished from scratch according to their Cultivation arts and the features of their battles.
However, all the changes were the same. No matter how they were polished and designed, they had only one purpose, which was to make the two power sources, the 'real leg' and the 'false leg', as well as to make the two power sources as compatible as possible. In other words, 100% coordination and synchronization rate would be achieved.
It was the so-called 'combined' power output mode, also known as' double 'or' parallel '.
