"What I'm trying to say is that I hope that you won't be distracted by external factors. The Tiger King Battlesuit's indeed impressive on the surface, but our Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit has its own advantages, too.
"Firstly, the framework technology of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit originated from the jade chips of the Star Ocean Imperium. Such a framework has been refined on the battlefield thousands of times and is even more advanced than that of the Tian Yuan Realm. This is also the biggest reason why we haven't fully grasped the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit after such a long time.
"Secondly, everyone present here is an expert of the grassroots faction. Regarding the production of mass-produced magical equipment, all of you have a wealth of experience. Perhaps the magical equipment we refine may not look as exquisite and gorgeous on the surface as the elite faction's. The data on the paper is frightening, but in terms of stability and failure rate, we are definitely the best in the federation!"
"Thirdly, although price is not the only deciding factor, when the performance of the two parties is similar, a price that is half the price of the other party's is still very attractive.
"Over the past month, I believe that you've all heard that the spiritual tides in the Dark Desolate Domain are getting more and more frequent and intense!
"Tides are the periodic activities of the seawater under the influence of the gravity of the celestial bodies.
"The more intense the spiritual tides are, the stronger the gravitational force of the other Sector is," Li Yao said.
"It means that the distance between us and the Blood Demon Sector is getting shorter and shorter.
"Maybe, in a couple of years, a semi-permanent wormhole that is big enough for thousands of soldiers to pass through will appear between the Tian Yuan Realm and the Blood Demon Sector.
"This is the key reason why the military is in a hurry to equip the standard Crystal Suit.
"With the same budget, if we buy the Tiger King Battlesuit, we can establish five Crystal Suit Divisions. But if we buy the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, we can establish ten or even fifteen Crystal Suit Divisions! This is our advantage! "
"So, let's work hard together!
"Didn't we foresee that Deep Sea University and the Gold Armor Clan would come up with a Crystal Suit with excellent performance? Now that we've seen it today, it doesn't seem to be much. I'm even more confident now. The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit will definitely beat the Tiger King Battlesuit! "
Yuan Manqiu's speech. Everybody's heart was burning.
These grassroots refiners had already been oppressed by the elite faction for decades.
He had to craft the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit even if it was just to prove that he was on the right path.
"Big Sister Yuan is right. The greatest feature of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit is that the framework of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit adopts the technology of the Star Ocean Imperium, which is far beyond the level of the Tian Yuan Realm.
"In terms of the power system, we've also made great progress recently …"
"The basic layout of detection-type magical equipment. It's already done … "
Many experts and scholars were in a heated discussion.
Only a few specialists in materials science and crystal reactor were silent in the corner. When everyone was almost done talking, they said awkwardly, "Mr. Li, you are right.
"There are still some problems in the refinement of the Super Compressed Crystal Reactor. We have tried to refine it with hundreds of ordinary materials, but it is still not strong enough. Although it won't explode in the lab like last time, it won't explode like last time. But on the battlefield where danger lurks everywhere, if it is corroded or heavily struck, it may be damaged, leak, or even explode. "
His words suppressed the fire that had just been ignited in everyone's heart.
However, the experts and scholars were well aware that the crystal reactor was the most difficult component to refine in the Crystal Suit.
There had never been a crystal reactor in the Xing Yao Federation that didn't use Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
Even though 90% of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures in the Tiger King Battlesuit could be synthesized, the crystal reactor still used real Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.
It was because of the hardness and strength of the crystal reactor. It was too high.
Could the Grand Desolate War Institution achieve something that even Deep Sea University couldn't?
"That's not a problem!"
Yuan Manqiu knocked on the table and said firmly, "We still have half a year. There must be a solution. Let's call it a day. "
…
The sun was setting. Night had fallen.
Sitting below the statue of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Li Yao looked at the stars in the sky and thought quickly.
After the reconstruction of the Refining Department, most of the debris had been cleaned up. Around the statue of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, more than ten trees were transplanted from other places and built into a small park.
The night breeze was quite cool.
Li Yao liked to think while sitting below the statue of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
Every time he came here, he felt that his head was very clear and his mind was very agile. All kinds of wonderful ideas popped up in his head.
He felt that there was a special connection between him and the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit.
It seemed that it was destined to be born in his hands and follow him to travel in the universe and illuminate the universe!
"The Tiger King Battlesuit is indeed tough!"
Li Yao played the press conference of Deep Sea University through his mini crystal processor, especially the test footage of the Tiger King Battlesuit.
The more he watched, the more furious he became.
It was not easy to defeat such an enemy. Although his professor had said that there were many hidden problems in the Tiger King Battlesuit, Deep Sea University would definitely try their best to solve the problems in the next half a year.
But on the side of the Grand Desolate War Institution, the crystal reactor, which was the most critical issue, was like a mountain that blocked all hope.
Li Yao leaned against the debris of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, closed his eyes, and fell into meditation.
"The crystal reactor has two most important specifications. First, the hardness of the materials. They must be able to withstand the high pressure and heavy strikes from both inside and outside for a long time.
"Second, the sealing of spiritual energy. The spiritual energy must not leak out through the tiny gaps in the materials.
"The second one is easy to solve. Although the sealing ability of common materials is not good, there are several special coatings and rune arrays in the Hundred Smelting Clan that can seal the spiritual energy.
"But to improve the hardness of common materials …"
Forty thousand years ago, the Hundred Smelting Clan had some secret arts that could improve the hardness of common materials to the extent that they were comparable to Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures through repeated tempering.
But all of the secret arts had to be forged by hand. Also, it took a long time with a low success rate.
With Li Yao's current capability, it would take him several months to forge such a precise component as the crystal reactor by hand. Also, the final product would have all kinds of flaws.
Such efficiency was far from enough to meet the demand of mass production.
Therefore, Li Yao only extracted part of the rune arrays and tempering methods that could be used to strengthen the materials and planned to discuss them with a few professors in a few days.
As for the manual forging methods, they could only be used on his own special Crystal Suit. The mass-produced Crystal Suit couldn't be used on it.
After pondering for a long time, Li Yao still couldn't figure out the reason. He was a bit impatient.
He looked back and suddenly thought of something.
The debris of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had been standing here for more than a year. Although it was made of alloy materials, it was still somewhat lackluster.
"Since I can't figure it out for the time being, I might as well do some maintenance for the debris and study its internal structure."
After the spiritual tide explosion, the debris of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit had been broken into pieces. The skeleton was twisted, and many components had melted into a pile of mud.
Few refiners in the entire Xing Yao Federation were capable of maintaining such a Crystal Suit.
But it wasn't a problem for Li Yao. In the warehouse of the junked crystal Suit in the Thunder Training Camp, he had maintained a Crystal Suit that was even worse than this one.
Without further ado, Li Yao retrieved almost ten delicate maintenance tools from his Cosmos Ring and played them quickly on his fingers, glittering.
After he returned to the Grand Desolate War Institution, the first thing he did was to build a set of more than 325 maintenance tools with the materials he found in the Dark Desolate Domain.
As for the tweezers, he built twelve of them according to their different purposes.
The tools were all developed by him according to his father's teachings and the lessons in Ou Yezi's memory pieces.
In the entire Heaven's Origin Sector, there was no one else who could do it.
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. With the maintenance tools, Li Yao was like a tiger that had grown wings.
He climbed to the pedestal. Holding the shoulder of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit with his left hand, he dismantled the components of the Crystal Suit with his right hand.
Gradually, the crystal reactor on the back of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was revealed.
Li Yao pondered for a moment. Then he dismantled the crystal reactor and held it in his arms as if it were a watermelon. He sat cross-legged and observed it carefully with the help of the bright moonlight.
The materials used to build the crystal reactor were of the highest hardness. Therefore, in the spiritual tide explosion, the crystal reactor was not damaged but only slightly deformed.
Thousands of runes had been carved on the surface of the crystal reactor. They were connected to each other and constituted a rune array that covered the entire surface of the crystal reactor.
On one side of the crystal reactor, a long, narrow hole had been torn open. It was so dark that it looked like an eye.
Li Yao knew that it was the culprit of the spiritual tide explosion.
The highly-compressed spiritual energy was so violent that it tore apart the shell of the crystal reactor and spurted out of the opening. It then pierced through quite a few walls and reached the warehouse of crystals, triggering a chain reaction that led to the tragedy.
While he was observing, Li Yao suddenly felt that a cold wind was blowing from the bottom of his heart. He felt that his whole body was numb, as if something was looking at him through the void.
Li Yao blinked. For some reason, his intuition told him that the 'thing' did not mean any harm. Instead, it was friendly and 'like-minded'.
After searching for a long time, Li Yao fixed his eyes on the gap of the crystal reactor.
Weird brilliance flashed in the gap that looked like a black eye. (To be continued.)
