It was always easier to destroy than to build.
'Stormy Sword 'was written by Fengyu Zhong for his only son as a teaching material for robbery. Naturally, it did not involve too profound theories. All the students needed to do was to grasp the complicated phenomena.
For Li Yao, whose theoretical foundation was relatively weak, 'Stormy Sword' was much more suitable for him than the sixth level of the 'Starship Maintenance Manual'.
In the next few days, after clearing the debris, Li Yao devoted most of his time to the study of 'Stormy Sword' without any rest or sleep.
When the structures of hundreds of starship models were imprinted into his brain, he also learned thousands of tactics to sabotage and sneak into the starship.
Later on, he even came up with a very interesting mental training game that combined destruction and repair.
Li Yao divided his telepathic thoughts into two parts, each of which boasted a considerable computational ability.
One part of the telepathic thoughts was from the perspective of the guardian of the starship and tried to maintain the starship with what he learned from the 'Starship Maintenance Manual'.
The other part of the telepathic thoughts pretended to be the attacker and tried to sabotage the starship and break into the starship as quickly as possible.
Attacking the enemy with the spear and attacking the enemy with the shield. Li Yao was fascinated by the game of 'internecine warfare'.
Every starship of a different model was a brand-new 'game map'.
In only five days, Li Yao had played thirty-four 'maps' in a row.
Most of the time, it was the "attackers" who won and successfully destroyed the imaginary starships in his head.
However, as he went deeper and deeper into the game, his understanding of the structure of various starships was deeper and deeper. Gradually, he was able to repair the starship crazily under the bombardment. He had to defend the starship within the time limit.
Immersed in the interesting game, Li Yao completely forgot that time was passing by.
Before he knew it … He had spent seven days in the wreckage of Ghost Jail.
In the meantime, Gold Horn had sailed into the depths of the sea of stars and entered the cruising state.
…
For every refiner on the Gold Horn, the Gold Horn was a treasure trove. The past seven days had been a living hell.
Master Xiong Tao's mood seemed to be getting worse by the second.
His bloodshot eyes had clearly widened to their limits, but after discovering a few minor flaws in the magical equipment, he found a way to widen them a little more.
Like two nail guns, they were spurting out nails that were carved with freezing rune arrays nonstop, riddling all the refiners and the maintainers with holes.
In the first few days, the old man would occasionally fly into a rage and curse. At that time, everyone felt slightly better.
But in the last few days. After a few major problems happened to the starship in a row and two very important units were ruined, the old man simply shut his dry lips forever. He was thinner and thinner at a visible speed every day, as if his blood had been sucked dry by Gold Horn.
If there was any malfunction, he would always remain silent and stare blankly at the person in charge with his bulging eyes.
All the Weapon Refiners who had been stared at by the old man gathered together. They would always agree that they would rather put on a maintenance crystal suit than be stared at like that. They would spend a couple of days repairing the shell of the starship in the cold, dark space.
Xiong Tao was very anxious.
The situation of Gold Horn was much worse than he had expected.
The starship had encountered several serious malfunctions when it had just set off. A lot of spare parts had been consumed. There was not much left in the inventory.
There was still a long way to go. There were also several dangerous sailing routes where cosmic storms and stone belts were almost unavoidable.
The thought of barging into the few most terrifying stone belts of the Flying Star Sector with such a ragged starship on the verge of collapse made Xiong Tao shiver. Xiong Tao felt that his blood was freezing and that he was sitting on needles.
However … They didn't have a choice.
To return to the central space zone via the safest route, they would have to sail three times the distance. They would have to pass through seven world fragments and five space zones.
But those places were relatively barren. Some of the world fragments were desolate and uninhabited. Abundant supplies were not available.
To return to the heartland of the Flying Star Sector before the supplies ran out, they would have to take shortcuts that were shorter but more dangerous.
Having no other choice, Xiong Tao thought of the newcomers on the debris of Ghost Jail.
The newcomers were either young and inexperienced apprentices who had been raised by the Great Horn Exo Society on their own.
Either that, or they were recruited from Star Lord Temple. They had a certain amount of experience in maintenance but had not received professional training and were not very clear about the details.
Xiong Tao arranged for them to clean the debris and collect assets not because he didn't trust them, but because he wanted to know more about their personality and capability.
Xiong Tao had always believed that the essence of a refiner could be seen through such fundamental work.
Whether they were impatient or procrastinating, careless or meticulous, or even what kind of work they were suitable for, could be seen through the cleaning of a tiny component.
After a week, the newcomers must have cleaned up a lot of components. It should be easy for them to see through a lot.
If some of them did have potential, Xiong Tao would assign more important work to them without any hesitation.
After all, Gold Horn was in dire need of manpower in the maintenance posts right now!
Thinking about that, Xiong Tao summoned the few experienced refiners under his command and ordered the supply tubes of Gold Horn to connect with Ghost Jail for the first time so that the components could be transferred!
Half an hour later, a folded soft tube more than ten meters in diameter extended out of the tail of Gold Horn. It gradually unfolded and extended to the front end of Ghost Jail. Attracted by the magnetic force, it was attached to the head of Ghost Jail like a giant mouthpart.
Several refiners in Crystal Suit for Maintenance tore apart the shell of Ghost Jail through the fully-sealed supply tubes and installed a movable gate that could be automatically opened and closed.
The supply tubes were completed just like that.
An hour later, standard containers of components were delivered to the main maintenance workshop of Gold Horn through the resource transmission channel one after another.
Together with the four experienced refiners, Xiong Tao opened the boxes of components for analysis and evaluation.
"The first two containers are the components that 'Lan An' cleaned up. Not bad. He cleaned up more than 37,500 components from the living quarters of Ghost Jail. The quantity is huge, and the quality is not bad, either. There are few flaws.
"Lan An is an apprentice raised by our Exo Society, isn't he? I remember that his spiritual root has been awakened, too. He is in the third level of the Refinement Stage now.
"His talent is not bad, but he doesn't care about the details. Look. There are still some stains in the corners of the runes. They haven't been cleaned up yet.
"However, he is still qualified for the maintenance of the common magical equipment in the living quarters. Let him be in charge of the living quarters. More people can be assigned to more important posts."
Xiong Tao picked up almost a hundred components from the pile of components. After a quick glance, he came to a conclusion.
The rest of the senior refiners had no objection, including the tutor of the apprentice 'Lan An'. Everybody was convinced that Master Xiong Tao had made the most correct arrangement.
"Miao Fei, who is responsible for the cleaning of the cannons of Ghost Jail, is a refiner that we recently recruited from Star Lord Temple. He is 88 years old and very experienced.
"Look at the components that he cleaned up. Not a single trace of explosion or flaw can be found. They can be directly applied to magical equipment without any processing. Not bad.
"It has only been one week. He has only cleared out more than 17,300 components, which is a bit slow. It seems that this refiner is a slow refiner who strives for perfection. "
"I think we can ask him to maintain the artificial gravity system. After all, the artificial gravity system is located in the middle of the starship. Emergencies are rare. Most importantly, carefulness is not required. Improvisation is not required."
After only half an hour, Xiong Tao finished the job quickly. Thus, the dozens of rookies were assigned to suitable jobs, and a group of experienced rookies was transferred out. The experienced refiners were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Then … There were three newcomers left.
However, the magical equipment components collected by a newcomer made Xiong Tao dazed for a moment. His brush-like eyebrows furrowed deeply.
"Li Yao, who is responsible for cleaning the training area of Ghost Jail, has collected 137,455 components?
"You've got to be kidding me!"
After the components were found from the debris, most of them were ragged. Their hardness and hardness had been greatly reduced. Some of them had been seriously corroded by acids and explosions. They had to be polished carefully before they could be used.
A person's energy was limited. Cleaning a component carefully would consume a lot of time and effort.
There was only one possibility for him to clear more than a hundred thousand components in only one week, which was that Li Yao did not clean every component carefully at all. He did not even distinguish whether the components were good or bad. Instead, he collected a lot of seriously deformed scraps that were no longer worth recycling without distinguishing between the good and the bad!
Xiong Tao recalled the young man named 'Li Yao'.
His first impression of the young man was not very good.
He had always felt that the most important quality for a refiner was practicality and practicality.
This young man "Li Yao" might really have some talent, and he might have had some fortuitous encounters. However, he kept on saying that he was an expert in maintenance, yet he didn't even recognize the simplest Star Gyroscope. This immediately made Xiong Tao feel that this young man was a little fake, and that he was as light as a feather and not realistic enough.
However, there was a severe shortage of hands at that time. Also, the young man's hand speed was indeed fast, and his spiritual root had been awakened. He was indeed a Cultivator. Therefore, Xiong Tao kept him.
Later, he even asked Bai Kaixin to motivate the young man. He even lent his own starship maintenance manual to Li Yao, hoping to give him another opportunity to unleash his potential as much as possible.
Maybe he was truly talented in maintenance, but his talent had been wasted because he had been wandering in a remote village.
If he was truly a talent, Xiong Tao did not want him to waste his talents.
But as it turned out, Li Yao was still so impatient!
He probably thought that the more components he cleaned up, the more he could prove his capability, right? What a young man!
