"Ahhhhhh!"
All the refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet went crazy.
Of course, the music that was blown out by the furnace was not as exquisite as the real ensemble of musical instruments, but it was full of the feeling of fighting and passion. There was even the splashing of steel, the flowing of molten iron, and the smell of smoke. It could only be described as' heavy metal '!
Enshrouded by the heavy metal music, the refiners felt that their internal organs were on an upheaval. They felt that they were in the middle of the surging tides of magma or dancing above ten thousand volcanoes. Even their veins and nerves seemed to have turned into metal!
Smoke was popping up from their throats, and they were coughing out sparks and vomiting orange molten iron!
Li Yao half narrowed his eyes and shook his head, dwelling in the reverberation of his beliefs and the core of the furnace. The rhythm of the music was more and more powerful, as if the entire Dragon Abyss was surging and playing heavy metal together with him!
On the bridge, Li Linghai had been observing Li Yao's every move through the surveillance light beam when the unexpected metal noises echoed in the entire bridge, too.
All the crew members on the bridge and the intelligent layer of the starship could not help but tap their toes to beat the rhythm. Their fingers were all itching to move.
"What — What kind of refining technique is this?"
Li Linghai asked in disbelief, "Is it a secret technique of the ancient Cultivators, too?"
"Well —"
Master Jin Tianzong was somewhat dazed, too. "I don't think so."
"Look! Look!"
A refiner pointed at the light beam that was monitoring the situation inside the furnace and shrieked.
It was a picture captured directly near the core of the furnace by a crystal camera made of highly-heat-resistant materials.
The metal materials that had just been thrown into the furnace had already been turned into round molten iron under the impetus of the fuel and the accelerant that Li Yao had carefully selected. They looked like glittering orange-red pearls or even stars that could not be looked at directly.
As the sonorous music continued to surge, the surface of the molten iron also rippled beautifully, incomparably gorgeous, and indescribable ripples.
When the ripples spread out to the limit, the balls of molten iron were like buds that had drunk enough dew, and they bloomed layer by layer to reveal a profound, complicated, and extremely fine structure!
Every ball of molten iron the size of a finger was revealed to contain at least a thousand orderly folds. It was as if countless runes had merged together and emitted a colorful radiance.
A total of nine clusters of molten iron were "blooming", but the blooming flowers were all in different shapes.
The blossoming of the "flowers" and the solidification of their final form were naturally under the control of Li Yao's spiritual energy and telepathic thoughts.
Nine metal flowers were spinning slowly in the middle of the flames at the center of the furnace. Every flower contained at least a thousand runes, which resonated with each other but did not interfere with each other. It was a sign of Li Yao's powerful ability to shape and control the metal flowers.
It must be noted that it was just a "furnace test" to test the performance of the furnace casually!
When the nine metal flowers blossomed to the maximum, the blood-boiling heavy metal music reached the maximum, too.
The entire starship "Dragon Abyss" was almost dancing.
"Ha!"
His eyes bulging, Li Yao stuck his opened right hand to the wall of the furnace for the first time and pressed it softly, as if he were sealing his entire life and soul into the furnace!
Hum!
Inside the brains of all the refiners, a giant bell was struck brutally, with illusionary sounds echoing.
Their retina was also affected by the spiritual resonance between Li Yao and the furnace, and they had hallucinations. The moment Li Yao pressed his hand, the previously dark furnace seemed to be translucent, and the internal structure of the furnace could be seen clearly. All the units and tiny components were dissected, as if the furnace had turned into an enormous metal flower that was blossoming slowly.
However, in the next second, all the components that had been dissected and blossomed were constricted, as if they had been reborn. They became even more compact, concise, and harmonious.
The heavy metal music came to an abrupt end.
Li Yao slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. He crossed his arms and looked at the refining furnace that he had tested with satisfaction.
After being washed by the cooling liquids, the nine metal flowers were sent out of the discharge ports one after another.
The high integration of metals and crystals filled the "flowers" with spiritual energy. They could not be regarded as single components anymore but as immaculate magical equipment. Under the control of Li Yao's telepathic thoughts, they all flew to the midair and revolved slowly. Like the Coloured Glaze lamps, they emitted the glamorous brilliance of a kaleidoscope, which poured to the ground like a waterfall.
Including Ye Qingyun, all the refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet were at a loss as they stared at the nine metal flowers that were dancing around Li Yao in a daze. When they looked at the furnace again, their eyes were all frozen.
There was no telling if it was their illusion, but they felt that the furnace had undergone drastic changes a moment ago.
How should he put it? It was like the difference between the raw minerals that had just been excavated from the underground and the crystals that had been carefully polished. The furnace was more delicate, more elegant, more profound, and more immaculate. Or rather, in Li Yao's words, it was more "smooth".
Even the most insignificant smoke had been taken away by Li Yao's debugging just now. Right now, the furnace did not look like a productivity tool, but more like a finely crafted work of art. Even before the refining process officially started, it had inexplicably filled people with confidence in it. They believed that what was to be refined from it would definitely be an extraordinary, peerless divine weapon!
"Just now, you …"
No matter how arrogant and unruly Ye Qingyun was, he could tell that the crafting furnace was different in his hands compared to Li Yao's. Immediately, he blushed and even used honorifics when he stuttered and asked.
"This is a furnace test technique that I invented myself."
Li Yao said, "The so-called 'furnace test' is not as simple as simply understanding the performance parameters of the furnace. On one hand, it is necessary to understand the 'spirit' and 'feelings' of the furnace by figuring out the basic performance parameters. More importantly, it is necessary to transmit one's beliefs, feelings, and even beliefs to the furnace in a certain way.
"For a refiner, a furnace is their best partner and must not be regarded as a cold, dead object. Furnaces have lives, feelings, and personalities, too. The real furnace test is to communicate deeply with the furnace and pour out one's' beliefs' to the furnace in order to win the furnace's approval.
"I personally like music, and my beliefs are somewhat related to music. Therefore, I will communicate deeply with the furnace through music so that my beliefs will be completely melded with the core of the furnace. Only in such a way can I get the most perfect furnace and produce the most perfect components."
The refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet all sighed.
Ye Qingyun couldn't help but ask again, "The song just now was —"
"'General's Order'."
Li Yao said, "It is the heavy metal version of 'General's Order', which is more suitable for the temperament of the furnace and my beliefs right now.
"Today's time is limited, and this furnace is not of the highest level, either. If there is a chance in the future, I hope that I can practice with the fellow Cultivators here. By then, if there are any classics such as' A Man Should Strengthen Himself 'or' The Ocean's Roar ', I can play them for the fellow Cultivators here. It will be a kind of academic exchange."
Li Yao did not disguise his capabilities at all.
He was even somewhat arrogant.
It was because this was the Imperium of True Human Beings, a world of Immortal Cultivators.
The idea of survival of the fittest was not limited to the circle of battle-type Immortal Cultivators but also the circle of creation-type Immortal Cultivators.
In this place, modesty and concealment were meaningless.
Since he was going to stay next to Queen Li Linghai for a long time, Li Yao naturally had to find a suitable position for himself in case somebody came to trouble him every now and then.
From a certain point of view, a refiner in the Divinity Transformation Stage was even more valuable than a warrior in the Divinity Transformation Stage because the former could provide technical support for the Yuanying and the Divinity Transformation Stage experts, significantly improving the top-tier combat ability of the entire force.
On the other hand, if the technical support of Queen Li Linghai and even the entire "reformists", namely the maintenance of the most cutting-edge Crystal Suit and the Colossi, were all under Li Yao's control, wouldn't he be able to do whatever he wanted?
"Fellow Cultivator Ye, we can go and choose the Crystal Suit now."
Li Yao touched the metal flowers in midair softly. The nine metal flowers all shivered and turned into thousands of transparent petals that were as thin as cicadas' wings, sprinkling down like cherry blossoms and catkins.
Li Yao smiled and said to the refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet under the contrast of the metal petals.
…
In the warehouse of advanced Crystal Suit on Dragon Abyss …
Dragon Abyss was Li Linghai's flagship. It was the nest where she snuck out of the capital of the Imperium in the middle of space.
Naturally, Li Linghai's treasures over the past decades were stored here. The high-level Crystal Suit from various schools of the Imperium and even the ancient relics were as good as the secret warehouses of the four Kurfürst families.
At this moment, Li Yao had become the center of attention. Surrounded by a large group of refiners respectfully, he wandered among the hundred silent metal statues.
The Imperium of True Human Beings had a lot of heritage. Based on the tremendous heritages of the Star Ocean Imperium and the Star Ocean Republic, and after a thousand years of hard work, the production technology of the Crystal Suit had been developed to the peak.
Every advanced Crystal Suit was like a work of art. Li Yao's telepathic thoughts crawled into the gaps of the Crystal Suit, savoring the delicate, indescribable feeling. He was so fascinated that he could not bear to withdraw his telepathic thoughts.
