The young man's eyes were thin and long, and there was almost always a sunny smile on his face. His shallow dimples added a touch of approachability to him. However, when he didn't smile occasionally, a fierce and arrogant aura would seep out from his bones. His thin and long eyes would turn into two blood-stained lancets in an instant. Out of every two people who read romance novels, one of them had registered an account on the Ke Le Xiao Shuo Website.
Li Yao straightened his back all of a sudden.
Even from tens of thousands of kilometers away, he could still sense an extremely dangerous aura.
It was like a tiger meeting another tiger in the forest, or a viper meeting another viper in the crevice of a rock.
This man was very scary!
"Teacher, who is he?"
Li Yao asked Yuan Manqiu in a low voice.
"He is the true disciple of Supernova Jiang Sheng, Zuo Feijing, who ranks second in the Novem Stellae!"
Yuan Manqiu said with a solemn expression, "He also has another identity. He is the son of Zuo Hongyi, the chief Armadominus of the Gold Armor Sect. He grew up in the Crystal Suit Refining Center of the Gold Armor Sect and has absorbed the essence of the sect's refining techniques and the university's refining techniques. He is good at the research, development and refining of Crystal Suit. He is very likely to become one of the youngest Armadominus of the Federation!"
"This time, Zuo Feijing has contributed a lot to the cooperation between Deep Sea University and the Gold Armor Sect!"
Li Yao took a deep breath.
The Gold Armor Sect was a real refining powerhouse. Its comprehensive strength was more than one level higher than that of the Zephyr Guild. It was best at refining battle armor. In the past few decades, it had refined several classic Crystal Suit, which was famous for its high defense.
Although the Gold Armor Sect was facing a certain predicament under the pressure of the major sword cultivation sects constantly refining powerful flying swords, its hundreds of years of accumulation were absolutely not to be underestimated.
Zuo Feijing grew up in the Gold Armor Sect, entered the Refining Department of Deep Sea University, and received the true teachings of Supernova Jiang Sheng.
Such a person was definitely a super expert.
No wonder all the hairs on his body stood on end.
Yuan Manqiu glanced at him. After hesitating for a moment, she continued, "It is far more than that. Zuo Feijing is the same as you. He is a hybrid-type Cultivator with both fighting and creative talents.
"He has loved the Crystal Suit since he was a child. He is the most excellent graduate of the Scorching Flame Training Camp, one of the four Exo training camps. He is a strong Exo.
"You should know that Deep Sea University has a Battlesuit Department. It specializes in training Exos. "
"But Zuo Feijing defeated the students of the Battlesuit Department in the campus Exo Competition of Deep Sea University three years in a row. The entire Battlesuit Department was humiliated.
"This time, Deep Sea University and Golden Armor Clan jointly developed the new Crystal Suit. It is very likely that Zuo Feijing will be the test pilot. That is why he came forward to introduce it today."
"That is to say, if one day we compete for a big military order, the Crystal Suit of both sides will compete with each other. He will be your strongest opponent! "
Li Yao's heart thumped, unable to calm down at all.
In the Thunder Training Camp, he had met Yuan Yeshi, a student from the Battlesuit Department of Deep Sea University, who was indeed a tough opponent.
But Yuan Yeshi was far from being the strongest Exo in the Battlesuit Department of Deep Sea University.
How could Zuo Feijing, a student of the Refining Department, suppress the Battlesuit Department for three years?
While he was pondering, the press conference began.
The enormous light beam behind everyone started blinking. Illuminated by the dark gold brilliance, a glamorous grey crystal suit revealed its real body.
"Everyone. Please allow me to introduce to you the new-generation Crystal Suit jointly developed by Deep Sea University and Golden Armor Clan, the Tiger King Battlesuit, which is very likely to become the standard Crystal Suit of the Union Army. "
Zuo Feijing stood up.
His figure was very tall, and when he stood up. He was like a ferocious tiger coming down from the mountain.
On the light beam, the virtual Tiger King Battlesuit was rotating slowly. Rows of specifications appeared beside it. The unbelievable numbers immediately raised a lot of exclamations.
Tiger King Battlesuit. It was an all-weather, all-terrain, medium-sized battlesuit that could even fight in a place where demonic energy was everywhere.
The crystal railguns in front of his chest vaguely outlined the head of a roaring tiger, which was brimming with killing intent and sharpness.
Because of the Golden Armor Clan, the structure of the Tiger King Battlesuit had been refined thousands of times. Although it was a medium-sized Crystal Suit, its defense was even better than that of many heavy Crystal Suits. Without the spiritual shield, the Tiger King Battlesuit could withstand several heavy blows from a demon general at close range.
With the enhancement of the powerful crystal processor provided by Deep Sea University, the computational ability of the Tiger King Battlesuit was quite impressive, too. Before the Cultivators could react, the Tiger King Battlesuit could launch counterattacks automatically.
"The Tiger King Battlesuit is absolutely invincible in the Crystal Suit of the same level!"
Zuo Feijing declared confidently.
But the more Li Yao observed, the more he felt that something was wrong.
He found the Tiger King Battlesuit very familiar.
He tilted his head and pondered for a long time. Finally, he remembered.
"Professor, the overall structure of the Tiger King Battlesuit is very similar to the Tiger Killer Battlesuit refined by Deep Sea University a few years ago.
"The design style of the plate armor and the lower half of the body part is similar to that of the Black Tortoise Battlesuit, the classic Crystal Suit of the Golden Armor Clan.
"It seems to be a combination of the two Crystal Suit models. No wonder they developed it so fast and produced a prototype in only a few months.
"But here comes the problem.
"As I recall, both the Tiger Killer Battlesuit and the Black Tortoise Battlesuit were made of a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. They must have been very expensive, right?
"The backplate of the Tiger Killer Battlesuit must be made of a whole spine of a lion-type demon beast. It must be intact without a single crack.
"Such a Fey bone is not something that can be found easily."
"It's the same for the Black Tortoise Battlesuit. To refine one Black Tortoise Battlesuit, at least fifty shells of turtle-type demon beasts are consumed.
"When the two Crystal Suit models are combined, the cost will be very high, even if the combat ability of the suit is high. Besides, where can you find so many spines of lion-type demon beasts and shells of turtle-type demon beasts?
"How can such a Crystal Suit be mass-produced?"
Yuan Manqiu's eyes were full of confusion. She shook her head and said, "This is indeed the key question. Let's wait and see what Zuo Feijing says. I'm sure some reporters will ask."
As she expected, after the basic features of the suit were introduced, an impatient reporter asked the question.
The reporters at the press conference were all reporters who specialized in Crystal Suit. Many of them were knowledgeable about crystal suits. They immediately recognized that the Tiger King Battlesuit was a combination of the two Crystal Suit models and the cost of many Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, which might not meet the requirements of the military.
Facing the questions of the reporters... Zuo Feijing smiled casually and answered unhurriedly,
"Yes. The Tiger King Battlesuit is a combination of the advantages of the Tiger Killer Battlesuit and the Black Tortoise Battlesuit. A lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were consumed during the refining process. However, 90% of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used in the Tiger King Battlesuit are synthetic! "
"What?"
Including Li Yao. Everybody on the Project Mystic Skeleton stood up.
The press conference was a mess.
With the development of the Cultivation civilization, more and more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures could be synthesized.
The Building Foundation Pills, which were treasured by all the Cultivators forty thousand years ago, could be synthesized and transformed into strengthening drugs. People could take as many of them as they wanted.
However, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures used to refine the Crystal Suit were mostly demon cores and demon bones, which had strict requirements in terms of hardness, tenacity, and ability. So far, the research on synthetic materials had been slow.
It never occurred to him that the Refining Department of Deep Sea University could synthesize 90% of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in a Crystal Suit.
"Since the military announced the intention of bidding for the standard Crystal Suit, many sects have started to research and develop the mass-produced Crystal Suit.
"But most of the sects have the same idea. In order to reduce the cost and achieve the goal of mass production, they have been reducing the quality of the Crystal Suit. Reducing the quality of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures means that the hardness, tenacity, attack ability, defense ability, and endurance of the Crystal Suit will be greatly reduced. "
Zuo Feijing declared proudly, "We are from Deep Sea University. We will never do that!
"In our opinion, even a mass-produced Crystal Suit must have a strong attack ability and defense ability. It must be the absolute hero of the battlefield and frighten the demon beasts when they see it.
"Therefore, Deep Sea University is not going to reduce the quality of the Crystal Suit. We are not going to reduce the quality of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
"Instead, we are going all out to accelerate the research on synthetic materials.
"In fact, Deep Sea University has been working on this project for a long time. For hundreds of years, we have invested a lot of resources and sweat of countless generations of teachers and students. Today, we are finally seeing the fruits of our labor!
"Take the support shaft on the back of the Tiger King Battlesuit as an example. In the traditional refining process, the natural spine of a lion or a tiger demon beast must be used to refine the Crystal Suit. Not even one segment or crack will be allowed to be missing.
"But right now, we have refined the alloy spine using bismuth tungsten alloy, some special materials, and many secret techniques. The hardness and tenacity of the alloy spine are 85% of that of the natural material, which fulfills the requirements of the mass-produced Crystal Suit.
"It is the same for the armor. The shell of a tortoise demon beast should be used to refine the armor. But now, the alloy material processed with secret techniques can be used to replace the shell.
"For the Tiger King Battlesuit, we have adopted 42 kinds of synthetic Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. If we can produce more than three thousand Crystal Suits, the average cost of each Crystal Suit will be around 390 million.
"Exactly. Such a cost will be the highest among all the mass-produced Crystal Suit models. It will be more than twice the cost of many of our competitors.
"However, we have absolute confidence in the combat ability of the Tiger King Battlesuit. Three Crystal Suits of the same level are no match for one Tiger King Battlesuit."
Hearing this, Li Yao took a long breath in relief and wiped the hot sweat on his forehead.
Deep Sea University was an elite after all. Although it was a mass-produced Crystal Suit, the cost was close to 400 million, and that was only after three thousand Crystal Suits were refined.
As for the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, according to everyone's estimation, as long as they could produce a thousand Crystal Suits, the cost would be around 100 million, no more than 150 million.
In terms of cost, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had an obvious advantage.
But what remained to be seen was the combat ability of the Tiger King Battlesuit.
While he was thinking, there was another uproar in the press conference.
