When the ball of lightning exploded, everybody's pupils constricted brutally. There was nothing but whiteness in front of their eyes. They could see nothing except the thousands of electric arcs that were dashing on their retinas.
They could only hear the spluttering noises of electric arcs, the sound of metal being cut, and the splashing of sparks from the depths of the ball of lightning.
A weird smell of metal came to their nostrils, as if they were on a battlefield where blood was boiling and stones were colliding, witnessing the collision and destruction of countless Crystal Suits.
At the center of the ball of lightning, a subtle attraction force was even generated, attracting the small magical equipment that they carried with them.
Li Yao's messy hair was moving despite the lack of wind. The electric arcs around his body seemed to have covered him in a special refining suit. His hands were changing the gestures nonstop, hiding the modification plans in the rune arrays and printing them into the ball of lightning in an appalling way.
The anomaly lasted ten minutes before it gradually dimmed and dispersed.
It was not until the last spark perished that everybody finally focused their eyes on the white smoke in the middle of the electric arcs.
Under Li Yao's manipulation, the fluctuating white smoke was all absorbed, revealing a dark, unattractive iron statue at the center.
"This is —"
Although they were fully prepared, all the refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet could not help but be greatly surprised.
They did not expect that Li Yao's remote manipulation technique would be so terrifying. Without even moving his finger, he had concentrated the components of almost ten Crystal Suits on the skeleton of one Crystal Suit.
So many battle-damaged Crystal Suits, despite the adoption of abundant general-purpose components, were in different styles and styles. Also, because of the serious damage in the battle, many of the components had simply been twisted and melted. But Li Yao had been able to select the most suitable components at the right time and assemble them flawlessly in only half an hour. The appearance was as smooth as mercury, giving the feeling that it was natural and flawless, as if it were a statue that had been carved out of a whole piece of metal.
How high were his senses, his control, and his deep understanding of the Crystal Suit?
If it were them, even if they had the guidance of the structural designs and the operation manuals, they might not have been able to do it after working on the most advanced maintenance platform for a day and a night!
Of course, such a combination was only the simplest combination. It was like a mold that a craftsman had just set up.
The connecting components had not been processed by the furnace yet, and the interior was not melted to the point of perfection. However solid and tough it looked, it would not be able to withstand a single blast on a fierce battlefield where gunfire was raging everywhere.
However, recalling the unbelievable scene of Li Yao's' furnace test 'just now, nobody doubted the performance of the brand-new Crystal Suit after it was processed in the furnace.
Everybody simply looked at Li Yao expectantly and whispered to each other, wondering what was so special about the new Crystal Suit that Li Yao had modified after a lot of trouble. The brand-new Crystal Suit adopted a lot of units of battle-damaged Crystal Suits, and the 'Giant Crab Battlesuit' as the skeleton was not the super crystal suit with the most outstanding performance here, either. Therefore, he had been busy for such a long time just to show off his own modification skills, or …
Hualalala …
In front of Li Yao, the Crystal Suit, which was more than two meters tall but had extremely broad shoulders and back, was slowly opened from the front.
An excellent Crystal Suit, even if it was as hard as iron, would let out the pleasant sound of flowing water when it was opened. It was the knowledge that many refiners had been taught in school.
But for many of them, it was the first time that they had heard that the Crystal Suit could really let out the sound of flowing water!
Li Yao put on the brand-new Crystal Suit without any hesitation. He slightly activated the power rune arrays and warmed up his hands and feet slightly.
This was not a test room. Besides, the Crystal Suit had only been assembled briefly and had not been processed by the furnace or the cutting machine yet. It was not suitable for the test of large movements.
While everybody was wondering what kind of tricks Li Yao was going to play with the Crystal Suit that had just been assembled, Li Yao bellowed, and his spiritual energy suddenly burst out!
For a moment, in the small warehouse of crystal suits inside the starship, the sky was dark, the sun and the moon were dim, and the sand and pebbles were flying everywhere!
The hearts and throats of all the refiners were frozen. Their every nerve ending was shrieking!
The countless advanced Crystal Suit standing nearby were all shaking, as if they could not bear the destructive pressure that was spurting out of Li Yao's body and were about to kneel on the ground and worship Li Yao and the Crystal Suit that he was wearing!
Then, an incredible scene took place!
Along with the bellow, Li Yao's muscles bulged, his body expanded, and his bones were cracking. His body size had expanded by 30% in the blink of an eye!
Any Crystal Suit had a certain degree of extensibility. It was filled with gel or other soft materials so that it could accommodate the different body sizes of the wearers.
However, the Crystal Suit was made of metal after all. It was not a mustard-seed combat suit that could be infinitely extensible. Its adaptability was limited.
That was why the Crystal Suit was divided into light, medium, heavy, and super large.
The wearers who were thin and small could still manage to fit into the heavy Crystal Suit, which had an enormous internal space, like a pony pulling a cart.
However, it was very difficult for the muscular men who were more than three meters tall and had muscles that looked like crystal bombs to be stuffed into the super small Crystal Suit that pursued high-speed mobility.
Some of the 'monsters' who had received genetic modifications or practiced secret techniques were more than 2.5 meters tall. Some were even close to three meters tall.
Many high-speed mobile Crystal Suit, on the other hand, were only 2.2 meters tall. How could they be stuffed into the suits?
Furthermore, many muscular men who practiced secret techniques had a very bad habit on the battlefield, which was to blow up their own cells with spiritual energy and increase their body size by 30%, 50%, or even 100%!
The 'clothes' could be blown up, but how could the Crystal Suit be blown up?
The Crystal Suit was not a space shuttle or a Colossus. It did not have a spacious cockpit and was worn close to the wearer's body. If the wearers were too excited to fight and expanded by 50%, wouldn't the Crystal Suit be blown up by brute force?
This was an extremely difficult problem to solve.
Many muscular men who were used to 'transformation' had to carry two Crystal Suit, one large and one small, with them before and after the transformation.
The old problem was more or less settled, but a new one showed up. It took time to transform and switch crystal suits. Not every Exo could complete the 'midair change' movement in half a second like Li Yao did. Wouldn't it be rather awkward if they were bombarded by the enemy's cannons while they were in the middle of the transformation?
It was not like they would have to look for cover all over the world when they wanted to blow up their clothes, transform, or go berserk, right?
But such problems did not exist for Li Yao at this moment.
The Crystal Suit that had been carefully modified by him seemed to boast high ductility and changeability. As his body expanded, brilliance radiated from the inside of the Crystal Suit, expanding and blossoming at the same time.
When Li Yao completed the 'berserk', the Crystal Suit had also turned from a medium-sized crystal suit that was around 2.30 meters tall into a heavy Crystal Suit that was almost three meters tall. The bulging ribs on the breastplate truly made it look like a dominating, raging crab that was full of aggression and ferocity.
"Transformative Crystal Suit!"
Ye Qingyun couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.
The eyes of all the refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet glittered, and electric currents flowed inside their hearts. It turned out to be the rarely-seen Transformative Crystal Suit!
The Transformative Crystal Suit, as its name suggested, was a special Crystal Suit that was designed to solve the problem that some of the berserkers had to expand their blood vessels and their body size.
Such a Crystal Suit was often embedded with one to two Cosmos Rings that stored tremendous changeable components. After special design, when the wearer's body size expanded, the Crystal Suit would have a series of changes, too, catching up to the wearer's body size. Brand-New units and weapon systems would even appear.
One Crystal Suit could display two different features and achieve completely different effects.
Theoretically speaking, it was a very wonderful idea.
However, to achieve the purpose of 'transformation', the design of the Crystal Suit would be extremely cumbersome and full of unnecessary redundant components, which would significantly reduce the defense ability and the durability, directly affecting the survivability on a battlefield.
It was even more of a nightmare for the logistic maintenance and even the daily maintenance. One moment of carelessness, and the Crystal Suit would be stuck in the middle of the transformation, which would be fatal.
Therefore, the Transformative Crystal Suit was not very popular among the berserkers who had crazily expanded their body size. It was a very niche type of Crystal Suit.
In the past two hundred years, the circle of Crystal Suit of the Imperium did not even have a mature model that was enough for mass production. The genre had been completely abandoned.
It never occurred to them that the path that had been proven to be unworkable by the mainstream refiners of the Imperium would be discovered by Li Yao again!
Although they were not clear about the performance parameters and the actual situation of the Transformative Crystal Suit, judging from the electric arcs dancing around Li Yao's body and the glittering appearance of the Crystal Suit, they knew that —
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! While everybody was guessing, the Crystal Suit on Li Yao's body suddenly let out the roars that sounded like the awakening of a ferocious beast and expanded again!
"Triple … triple transformation?"
All the refiners of the Deep Sea Fleet were so shocked that they almost shouted at the top of their lungs.
In their exclamations, the Crystal Suit on Li Yao's body expanded again and expanded to almost four meters long.
A lot of units had been attached to the skeleton with the electromagnetic force field. Spluttering electric arcs danced around the body like strengthened armor, almost as if he were wearing an Ares Extension. He looked like a destructive deity that had just arrived!
"A Crystal Suit with triple transformation? What — what a complicated design it is exactly? I'm already racking my brains just thinking about it! "
"Does such a Crystal Suit really have the survivability on a battlefield? The conflicts and interference among the redundant components will make it fall apart on its own even without the bombardment of the enemy's artillery, won't it?"
"Regardless of whether his survivability on the battlefield is strong or not, just the fact that he was able to complete the design plan in just half an hour, and even the preliminary assembly, and really achieve the effect of three transformations is already extremely crazy!"
"Wait, wait, wait, wait. Isn't — isn't he a refiner? What kind of shocking aura is this? The uncanny strength is almost enough to tear the entire starship apart!"
