Li Yao squatted in a corner of the warehouse of the Crystal Suit. Crossing his fingers, he stared at the garbage in the corner, deep in thought.
"Fellow Cultivator Li."
This time, no matter how weird his behavior was, Ye Qingyun did not dare act rashly. He simply said carefully, "The Crystal Suit has been seriously damaged. Most of them will be scrapped. After we return to the base, we will dismantle the usable units and rebuild the other components …"
It was true that what was presented before Li Yao were the damaged Crystal Suit that had been burnt, twisted, and looked like abnormal monsters.
If the damage was not too serious, the maintenance workshop on Dragon Abyss could've handled it. Now that it was decided to be scrapped, it suggested that there was no value in rescuing them at all.
However, Li Yao had grown up in the magical equipment graveyard and was best at transforming waste into treasure. Such damaged, mottled scraps of magical equipment were the best motivators for his creative ideas.
Li Yao stared at the battle shuttles and crystal suits without blinking. He opened his fingers and waved casually, attracting an enormous' Giant Crab ', a heavy firepower crystal suit with a heavy armor, to himself through the technique of remote manipulation.
Then, he activated the professional drawing function of his crystal processor.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Almost a hundred blank virtual tablets immediately appeared and hovered around Li Yao, emitting ivory brilliance. The light and shadow interweaved and illuminated Li Yao, making him look like a hazy shadow.
"Is he going to —"
The refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding what Li Yao was going to do. If he was going to draw the structural designs of the Crystal Suit for minor adjustments and modifications, it did not seem necessary to retrieve a hundred boards. Shouldn't he be drawing them one by one, and then the next one after he finished drawing one?
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao slowly closed his eyes. His brain was full of the structural designs of the Crystal Suit that he had scanned carefully by extending his telepathic thoughts into the damaged Crystal Suit just now.
With a telepathic thought, the perspective diagrams of the various sections of the few damaged crystal suits, as well as the 3D structure diagrams, including the crystal reactor, the knee joint, the elbow joint, and the other precise units, all appeared on the drawing board like tides!
The gold threads that were ten times thinner than hair extended and interweaved like living demons, turning from thin to plump, from plump to heavy, from heavy to complicated, and eventually into mazes and castles!
The refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet all bulged their eyes. Drawing a hundred structural designs of the Crystal Suit with telepathic thoughts at the same time? That was truly marvelous!
Li Yao's performance was not over yet.
What he did just now was merely a simple "copy", which was to scan the structures of the Crystal Suit onto the boards.
But in the next second, the hundred structural designs rippled at the same time like a pool of spring water. In the middle of the ripples, the complicated, detailed structures were all dissected, twisted, and deformed. The speed of change was higher and higher, like a kaleidoscope that had been revolved to the maximum.
All the refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet were dazzled.
"Is — Is he designing the modification plans of the Crystal Suit? He is trying to modify all the damaged Crystal Suit at the same time?"
"Isn't such a design too unbelievable? Only the magical equipment of refining with an accuracy of at least 0.1 thread can cut out the abnormal curved components that he needs!"
"He has only squatted there for a while, and he has thought of so many crazy modification plans?"
A lot of refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet were so shocked that they found it hard to breathe.
They were all experts. Naturally, they could see the value of Li Yao's modification plans.
Although most of the modification plans were too whimsical and insane, the ideas contained in the plans gave them the feeling that they could still be modified in such a way.
Li Yao, on the other hand, was extremely fast to overturn his own plans. It was often the case that the refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet vetoed a plan before they could see if it was feasible.
Bo! Bo! Bo! Bo!
Boards were popping like bubbles nonstop, leaving spots of light that looked like fireflies. But brand-new boards were generated, on which castles made of lines and curved surfaces were popping up.
In the end, only twenty boards were still floating in midair, but the structural designs on them were already too complicated and detailed for most refiners to understand.
Even Ye Qingyun could only vaguely tell that Li Yao seemed to have retrieved part of the units from the damaged Crystal Suit and kept the main frame of the "Giant Crab Battlesuit".
It wasn't until this moment that Li Yao finally opened his eyes.
Thousands of gold lines were still lingering inside his eyes, as if ten thousand structural designs of the Crystal Suit were exploding deep inside his pupils.
There was neither sorrow nor joy on his face, and there was an inviolable vibe around him, as if even the most powerful Crystal Suit was just a toy in his palm.
Li Yao made a gesture with his hands. His fingers were like petals, tides, and gales, before they congregated into furiously burning flames.
His telepathic thoughts were projected to the boards under the guidance of his fingers. The twenty boards overlapped instantly, and all the virtual structural designs were embedded into each other seamlessly, constituting a 3D Crystal Suit. It was a translucent gold giant.
Li Yao waved his hands and enlarged the "gold giant" by ten times, before he carefully adjusted the structure of the critical parts.
However, in the eyes of the general refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet, it was nothing more than the zigzagging gold lines that he was drawing casually in a mess.
"What — what is he doing exactly?"
"Such a complicated structure. What kind of Crystal Suit is this exactly?"
The refiners were whispering to each other.
Master Jin Tianzong's face, however, changed again and again.
Narrowing his eyes, his eyelids twitching violently, he enlarged the picture nonstop and studied the structural designs that Li Yao had drawn carefully. After pondering for a long time, he was greatly enlightened at first, but then he found it hard to believe. Was the mysterious refiner who seemed rather young really confident in strengthening such a Crystal Suit? It was no longer "adjustment". It was not even a simple "modification" but a complete reconstruction!
Master Jin Tianzong stared at Li Yao's hands that were gradually emitting brilliance on the light beam. His eager eyes were filled with eagerness and envy.
Ten minutes later, Li Yao "finally", or rather "so quickly", completed his structural designs and the flow of spiritual energy.
As a matter of fact, it was not exactly a brand-new creation but a brand-new structure of the Crystal Suit that he had been working on when he was still in the Xing Yao Federation.
Since the birth of the modern Cultivation civilization, when the Star Ocean Imperium was still at its peak, the modern refiners had embarked on a path that was entirely different from that of the ancient refiners when they were refining magical equipment. They paid more attention to standardization and stylization, mass production, and the interchangeability of standard components.
In the jargon of the modern magical equipment refining field, it was modular design. In the Federation, the Imperium, and even the Holy League, more than 90% of the components of the magical equipment of the same level and purpose could be used in common.
Such an approach significantly reduced the logistical pressure in a long-term war for a universal country that spanned countless space zones.
It also provided infinite possibilities for the refiners to fully unleash their creativity.
After carefully studying every component of the crystal suits of the Imperium that the Black Wind Fleet had brought over, Li Yao even had a deep understanding of the universal components of most crystal suits of the Imperium, which allowed him to put on such an amazing show.
The glittering, translucent giant seemed to have been torn into sparks by a breeze and landed on Li Yao's hair and shoulders.
Li Yao's hands, however, moved faster and faster.
Electric arcs appeared on his fingertips. Bright purple, crimson, bluish, indigo … The colorful electric arcs split into two, two, four, and eight. In the end, they turned into an overwhelming electric net that enshrouded all the damaged Crystal Suit and the Giant Crab Battlesuit.
Huala! Huala! Huala!
Electric arcs crawled into the gaps of the Crystal Suit in a hurry and dismantled all the Crystal Suit into the most fundamental components in the blink of an eye. Even the Giant Crab Battlesuit that was as thick as an ox and as black as a tower was dismantled into a lonely metal skeleton by Li Yao.
All the refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet felt that their blood was freezing.
In order to maintain, modify, or even craft the Crystal Suit independently, they had to learn to dismantle the Crystal Suit first and dismantle the Crystal Suit to the most fundamental state where it could not be further dismantled.
It was the fundamental skill for every refiner. All the rookies had to spend years practicing the dismantling of the Crystal Suit.
It was partly to train their dexterity and keen senses, and more importantly, to develop their familiarity with the structure of the Crystal Suit.
However, in the school, the training camp, or the magical equipment center, they had never seen Li Yao's smooth and lightning-fast speed.
Li Yao, on the other hand, did not do anything at all. He merely released electric arcs and dealt with the seriously damaged and deformed Crystal Suit with the technique of remote manipulation!
Many refiners looked at Ye Qingyun.
Ye Qingyun swallowed hard and was vaguely scared. Thankfully, he did not charge forward and ask for humiliation just now.
More refiners, on the other hand, were glued to Li Yao's hands with their eyes, trying to see Li Yao's every movement clearly. They were unwilling to move their eyes away at all.
Dismantling the Crystal Suit was only the first step.
After all the damaged Crystal Suit was restored into the most fundamental components, countless unnecessary components flew out weightlessly and fell into the reserve components nearby precisely according to their categories.
The remaining components, as well as the metal skeleton of the Giant Crab Battlesuit, were enshrouded in electric arcs that were more and more intense.
The electric arcs expanded and shrank, as if they were living magnetic fields, gradually condensing into the veins and neural network of a giant.
Then —
Li Yao's fingers were bouncing and changing to the maximum. He even raised thunderous noises with his fingers.
