Half a month passed.
The grand Magical Equipment Exposition was not over yet.
The video of Li Yao's Flying Crystal race was played to hundreds of thousands of viewers on a giant light beam floating in midair every day.
Discussions about which one was better, the Mystic Skeleton and the Tiger King, were fermenting on the Nexus, too.
Many people believed that the Tiger King was the best MP Crystal Suit and that it had left all the competitors far behind in terms of performance parameters. Li Yao had only won the Flying Crystal race through trickery. If they had a second chance, Zuo Feijing's Tiger King Battlesuit would definitely have blown him up.
However, more people believed that the performance parameters of the two Crystal Suit, which were three times the price of the Mystic Skeleton, couldn't be compared simply.
Even at the last moment of the Flying Crystal race, Li Yao had won the race through trickery.
But before that, the Mystic Skeleton had fought the Tiger King head-on for several rounds and even knocked the Tiger King to the ground twice, which was more than enough proof of its toughness.
It must be noted that the price of three Mystic Skeletons was equal to that of one Tiger King.
If three Mystic Skeletons were to gang up on one Tiger King, what would the result be?
Such a topic was spreading like wildfire on the Nexus. Every Crystal Suit enthusiast was involved in it. Their saliva was flying everywhere, and their heads were bleeding.
Li Yao, however, jumped out of the vortex in time and disappeared from the public's sight.
Right now, he was on an unmarked crystal airship flying to the base of the Fifth Fleet of the Union Army in the middle of the mountains.
"The Refining Department is in a good mood now. I'm told that you've received orders for almost a hundred Mystic Skeleton Battlesuits from major sects in the past ten days. Tsk, tsk, tsk. If all of them are refined, the profit will be more than ten billion. What a fortune!"
In the spiritual crane messenger, Ding Lingdang said with exultation.
"Not so much."
Li Yao counted with his fingers. "You know that the Refining Department doesn't have a magical equipment factory of our own. Refining a couple of Mystic Skeleton Battlesuits is not a big deal, but we've received orders for almost a hundred of them. We would have to outsource it and let other sects refine it for us. That would be a huge expense.
"Also, the price of the first batch of Mystic Skeleton Battlesuits was kept very low in order to increase competitiveness. It also comes with a lot of after-sales service, which is almost unprofitable. "
"It's already very good to be able to make a name for yourself! You haven't been back for the past few days, so you don't know. Right now, your Refining Department is very famous. If you go to any corner of the campus, you will hear news about the Refining Department. I heard that the school's management is considering to further increase the investment and strive to make the Refining Department into another golden department of the Grand Desolate War Institution. There is a floating mountain that was originally refined for the Combat Department. Now, after being modified, it will be transferred to the Refining Department. Our department's head, Old Xia, is so angry that he is screaming! "
Ding Lingdang said with a smile, "And you, you really went all out in the Flying Crystal race. Many girls in the school regard you as their idol. They know that you and I are very close, and they call you brother and sister. A few days ago, a few cute girls even came to me and asked me if I was interested in you. Do you have a girlfriend? "
Li Yao raised his eyebrow. "What did you say to them?"
"It was quite a dilemma. I've never been in such a situation before. I thought for a long time."
Ding Lingdang said casually, "I brought them in front of a huge rock. Then, I punched the rock into pieces and said that you were actually my boyfriend. Whoever dared to lay their hands on you would have such a rock. "
"Okay."
Li Yao scratched his head. It was indeed the way of a human-shaped tyrannosaurus rex.
While they were talking, the crystal airship shivered slightly. It slowed down.
"I'm here!"
Li Yao's eyes suddenly shined. He stood up.
"Come on. Crystal warships or star fortresses. Blow them all up!"
Ding Ling Dong waved her fists and cheered for him.
Li Yao smiled and turned off the spiritual crane messenger. He walked out of the cabin and to the front deck.
The scene in front of him made him hold his breath for a moment.
In the middle of the mountains, against the bloody sunset, dozens of ragged warships were floating in midair. They were neither gold nor iron but looked like cocoons that had been magnified billions of times. They were made of bones and flesh, with pustules and scars all over their surface. The bumps and bumps on their surface were quite creepy.
They were the remnants of the devilish warships refined by the demon race.
Different from the crystal warships of human beings, the devilish warships of the demon race were enormous life forms in the first place. They were the ultimate biological weapons refined after tens of thousands of years of crazy evolution.
Those enormous warship creatures boasted enormous biochemical brains whose computational ability was as good as that of the mainframe crystal processors of human beings.
Through telepathy, after they were connected to the brains of the high-level demons, they were able to command the warships as if they were their own arms and spurt out powerful firepower at will.
The remnants of the devilish warships had all been blown up by the Union Army in the five hundred years of battles and dragged to the floating graveyard to show off their martial arts and demonstrate the strength of human beings.
Passing the graveyard of devilish warships, Li Yao saw dozens of crystal warships in front of him. They were also riddled with holes and rust.
They were the remnants of the Fifth Fleet of the Union Army that had been scrapped and decommissioned in the bloody battles of the past five hundred years. They were floating in the air quietly as an everlasting monument.
Behind the monument, two steep mountains pierced into the sky like two sharp swords and protected a long, narrow valley behind them.
The valley was named Monument Valley. It was the base of the Fifth Fleet of the Union Army.
The Fifth Fleet was the trump card of the Union Army.
The setting sun was as red as blood. Dozens of crystal warships were emitting dazzling brilliance. The smaller ones were hundreds of meters long, and the larger ones were almost a thousand meters long. But they were shuttling agilely like light shuttles, interweaving into complicated battle formations that were unpredictable.
In the sky of Monument Valley, an enormous floating fortress the size of a town was floating.
Countless armed shuttles were flying in and out of the fortress like bees, humming loudly.
Seeing the scene, Li Yao understood the meaning of 'war machine' deeply.
He also felt proud that he was a member of such a strong race.
However, when he realized that the opponent he was about to face might be one of the crystal warships, Li Yao felt that his head was aching uncontrollably.
"Crystal warships have always been the main force of the Union Army."
Yuan Manqiu walked behind him with her hands behind her back. After appreciating the magnificent maneuvers of the crystal warships for a while, she said solemnly, "For five hundred years, the military has been developing warship technology. Countless powerful crystal warships have been produced, which can be solved by bombardment whenever they encounter beast tides.
"As for the high-level demons and the scattered demons hiding in the forests, underground, and in the ruins of towns, they are dealt with by the Cultivators who are individually strong.
"The military is in charge of the 'surface', and the Cultivators are in charge of the 'point'. This has always been the traditional way of fighting in the Xing Yao Federation.
"Therefore, many people in the Union Army are 'warship supporters' who believe that cannons and warships can solve all problems.
"If the problem can't be solved, it's because the cannons and warships are not large enough!
"Right now, the Union Army is going to promote the standard Crystal Suit on a large scale. Undoubtedly, the resources of the warship supporters will be greatly reduced. The budget that can be invested in warships in the future will be greatly reduced.
"It's not hard to imagine the resistance that we will encounter.
"It is under such circumstances that such a special bidding meeting is being held. To put it bluntly, it involves the debate of the military's battle strategy. It is a competition between the Crystal Suit supporters and the warship supporters.
"In this bidding meeting, we will not only prove that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit is the best MP Crystal Suit, but also that the Crystal Suit has irreplaceable advantages compared with crystal warships!
"How about it? Are you confident?
"According to the rules of the military bidding, the Crystal Suit doesn't have to be driven by the refiner. The military can also send an experienced ace Exo to drive the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit in the final test. If you feel that the pressure is too great, it's not too late to change it now."
Li Yao turned around and looked at Yuan Manqiu. He smiled.
"Professor, your provocation is too clumsy."
Yuan Manqiu smiled, too. She handed a jade chip to Li Yao.
"The military contacted us early in the morning. They said that they could send a super ace Exo with thirty years of experience to drive the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit in the final test. But we turned them down on the spot.
"All the specialists and scholars in the Project Mystic Skeleton team agree that you will always be the best Exo of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit!
"No matter what, we have absolute faith in you!
"This jade chip contains the detailed information of the final test. There is still some time before the landing. You can study it carefully. I've seen it just now. It is very different from what I imagined.
"This time, the military is serious!"
Li Yao took the jade chip and took a deep breath, only to find that his nose was blocked.
This was the final test!
After passing this test, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit would win a huge order from the military and become the standard Crystal Suit of the Union Army. Maybe it would become the Crystal Suit with the largest quantity in the history of the Xing Yao Federation!
Maybe one day, millions of Union Army and millions of Cultivators would all wear the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit and congregate into an invincible torrent of iron that would pierce through the wormhole and flatten the Blood Demon Sector!
For the arrival of such a day, not to mention a crystal warship, even if he had to face the entire Fifth Fleet, he would do it.
He would break through the encirclement by himself!
…
Inside the cabin …
The jade chip was connected to the mini crystal processor. A vivid 3D model of a warship was projected.
The 'Fiery Cloud' -level crystal warship was a medium-sized crystal warship refined by the Union Army eighty years ago.
It was 214 meters long and 36 meters wide. The 'Sky Splitter', a double-barrelled giant crystal cannon, could unleash a furious energy comparable to the full-strength strike of a Yuanying Cultivator after half an hour of charging.
The secondary cannons arranged below the hull for attacking targets on the ground were all replaced five years ago. They were all changed into twelve Taiyi Lightning Railguns.
Li Yao was no stranger to such heavy magical equipment.
Almost two years ago, on the train north to Wild Waves City, he was able to deal with the beast tide only because of a single Taiyi Lightning Railgun.
A single Taiyi Lightning Railgun was able to kill more than half of the beast tide made of thousands of Ghost Jellyfish.
But right now, Li Yao was facing twelve of them. (To be continued.)
