Half a minute later, Xiong Tao was rendered speechless. His eyes were frozen, and an extremely weird expression appeared on his face. …
"What's going on? Why is the old man stunned?"
"Is this Li Yao's components so bad that the old man is so angry that he's confused?"
The few refiners discussed in a low voice.
When Xiong Tao completely opened the box of components without saying a word, and the four walls fell to the ground, revealing the inside of the box, the refiners were as dumbfounded as he was, with weird expressions on their faces.
The components that Li Yao took back, not to mention their quality, were stored in a different way from other people's.
Other people's components were mostly piled up in a mess. At best, they were grouped into several small boxes according to their general purpose.
Li Yao, on the other hand, had used metal plates as thin as cicada's wings, together with some rune arrays of the wind class and anti-gravity rune arrays to construct a three-dimensional partition inside the box. On one hand, it had increased the efficiency of the box, and on the other hand, it had distinguished every component clearly.
It was like a well-organized army that was lined up neatly, waiting for the inspection of the monarch.
Besides …
The components of different kinds were all classified into different categories and placed in different areas. They vaguely contained a certain logic. It was often the case that the components that were closest to each other had to be used on a certain type of magical equipment. It was quite convenient to use them.
The few experienced refiners blinked their eyes. Their pupils were stinging because of the glimmer emitted from the components. They carefully picked out a few components from the shelves and examined them carefully in their palms.
They discovered that not only were the components as bright as new, even the insignificant rune arrays carved in the most inconspicuous places had been polished to perfection. There was not the slightest stain left on them.
Also, they felt as smooth as silk. Their surface was vaguely covered in a protective layer similar to an oil film, which could prolong the service life of the components in extreme environments.
When they were placed under the light, the surface of the components was rippling with colorful glimmers. They were quite beautiful. Even the most common metal materials were like Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Their eyes were deeply attracted to them, making them unable to extricate themselves.
"Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz …"
A seasoned refiner blew hard at the component and analyzed the vibration next to his ear, as if he were listening to the most marvelous sounds of nature. He mumbled, "The internal hardness of the component is as good as that of a brand-new component, if the hundred thousand components are all as good as that of such a high level. This, this is too terrifying! "
"The guy's speed is too terrifying. After only seven days, he has recovered more than a hundred thousand components left in the explosion site to such an extent! In my opinion, even some of the maintenance experts in Heaven Sacred City are unable to reach this level of proficiency! "
"Could it be that everything he said was true? He had truly lived in the ancient battlefield of stars since he was young. You haven't even weaned and you're already making a living by recycling magical equipment wreckage? "
"If that's the case, then we've picked up a treasure!"
Senior Weapon Refiners. All of them were excited.
Such a young man with such a high hand speed and such a solid foundation was simply the best assistant that every senior refiner dreamed of!
However, Xiong Tao's tightly knitted brows had yet to loosen as he muttered to himself in his heart.
He didn't expect this Li Yao's performance to be so remarkable.
In that case, everything he said was very likely to be true.
However, after wandering in the ancient battlefield of stars for so many years … He hadn't even touched the Star Gyroscope before? That was too weird!
This young man must have spent a week cleaning up the ruins after being reprimanded by him. He must have held back his energy and spent all his time cleaning up the ruins without sleeping or resting.
However … If so, how much time did he have left to study the Maintenance Manual?
Xiong Tao was somewhat regretful.
Such a young man should've been trained to be more than a magical equipment technician or a refining assistant. He should've climbed higher mountains!
"Connect me to this Li Yao. I have a few questions to ask him," Xiong Tao said expressionlessly without batting an eyelid.
The young man on the light beam somewhat surprised Xiong Tao.
Since he had been alone inside the starship and hadn't been able to absorb the sun and the moon for a long time, Li Yao's skin was even fairer than before. His eyes, which were filled with flames, were as deep as ink. It was impossible to see through what he was hiding in his heart.
Furthermore …
Staying alone in the dark and boundless wreckage of the starship for a week was a very unbearable thing for ordinary people. Many people would clamor to return to the crowd after a day or two. After a week, even the most strong-willed person would show some restlessness.
Li Yao, on the other hand, was happy and contented. He didn't feel the slightest discomfort. He enjoyed this kind of solitude very much.
Xiong Tao appreciated this temperament very much.
Refining was a lonely art. Most of the time, refiners would be alone in their refining room.
In order to find the most suitable material for a magical equipment, they often had to patiently try thousands of times, but in the end, they might not necessarily succeed.
While those sword cultivators were riding on their swords and enjoying the attention of thousands of people outside, refiners were walking on a path that would amaze the world with a single brilliant feat.
Those who couldn't bear the loneliness were destined to never become refiners.
Those who could bear it but couldn't enjoy the loneliness were destined to never become excellent refiners.
Only those who enjoyed solitude and were able to create a world that completely belonged to themselves in solitude, and those who enjoyed themselves in it, were the true masters of refining!
Looking at Li Yao's appearance right now, Xiong Tao was completely convinced of his words. He asked straightforwardly, "How much of the information on the first level of the 'Starship Maintenance Manual' have you grasped? Is it 80%?"
If it was 80%, Xiong Tao decided to let Li Yao take care of the unimportant areas alone and observe for a while.
Li Yao pondered for a moment.
He was considering whether or not he should hide part of his capability.
But he soon dropped the idea.
Because he had to seize every second to improve his capability so that he could go to the holy land of training in the Flying Star Sector as soon as possible. Only by mastering the most powerful techniques and refining the most powerful magical equipment could he find his way home as soon as possible!
Even if he could hide part of his capability right now … In the future, he would certainly be exposed during his training. By then, the concealment at this moment would be a great point of suspicion.
Therefore, he might as well hide it from the beginning to the end. Be ostentatious all the way!
Thinking about this, Li Yao stared at Xiong Tao and said, "I've grasped the first three levels. 79.5% of the first five levels. 33.2% of the sixth level. I haven't touched anything beyond the sixth level yet."
Xiong Tao was dazed for three seconds.
The four experienced refiners were dumbfounded.
Three seconds later, Xiong Tao took a deep breath and said calmly, "Alright. Wait a moment. "
The communication was cut off. The four refiners began to question him one after another.
"Seven days. You've cleaned so many components, and you've grasped almost half of the 'Starship Maintenance Manual'?"
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible. You've only browsed through it once. How could you have grasped it completely?"
"Shut up!"
Xiong Tao glared at them and said. "Now, I'm going to give you a special test paper based on the past seven days. All the malfunctions that Gold Horn encountered will be the test paper. You will summarize all the malfunctions that occurred in the past week in your respective areas! "
"There was a malfunction in my area where the spiritual energy transmission tube was blocked, which caused the power rune arrays to overload and explode. There was also a malfunction in which two power rune arrays interfered with each other, which caused the spiritual pressure to plummet. Such malfunctions are very rare. It took me thirty minutes to eliminate all other possibilities and find the root of the problem. "
The experienced refiner in charge of the engine compartment said.
"There were two cases where the artificial gravity suddenly disappeared in my area, which caused the internal components of four magical equipment units that were very sensitive to gravity to fly randomly. Because the disappearance of the artificial gravity only happened in a split second, it was not discovered at all. It took me a long time to find the root of the problem. "
"There's no need to mention the situation in our area of cannons. Although the cannons have been repaired in a hurry, they are still exploding every day and exploding every three days. Not a single day is normal!"
The four experienced refiners talked at once. Soon, they had collected almost a hundred different types of malfunctions.
Together with the three areas that Xiong Tao was personally responsible for, a total of 182 types of malfunctions were summarized and sent to Li Yao's mini crystal processor as a special test paper.
Looking at the dense, transparent structural designs spinning around his head, Li Yao's eyes were burning with excitement. His cheeks were rosy, and his nostrils were breathing heavily.
The questions were not simple tests of knowledge. Instead, they were comprehensive questions that involved a lot of practical situations.
"This test paper is really good. It's like a real one!"
For Li Yao, who was a genius in refining, nothing could make him happier than a high-level test paper.
Licking his lips, Li Yao stuffed almost twenty meat buns into his mouth and swallowed them with high-energy nutrition liquids to replenish his energy.
Then, he fastened a delicate iron ring to his head.
It was a piece of magical equipment that Li Yao had assembled himself in his spare time. It was an upgraded version of the 'Freezing Ring' that he had used in the Grand Desolate War Institution. Other than the freezing runes carved on it to help cool the brain, the automatic infiltration of medical drugs and the monitoring of the blood flow inside the veins of the brain had also been added.
When the blood flow was too fast, the drugs would automatically infiltrate into the brain to improve the strength of the brain vessels and reduce the probability of the brain vessels exploding. If the situation was out of control, alarms would be sent out so that Li Yao could lower the activity of his brain cells in time so that he would not be mentally deranged.
"Let's begin!"
Li Yao rubbed his fists and grinned hideously. He lunged at the test paper like a hungry wolf lunging at a lamb.

Li Yao saw a question in the comment section. One of his brothers said that he felt that the introduction of the test paper was wrong. The starship in the introduction was of the level of 'Yuanying'. How could it suppress a planet?
Yuanying, such as Iron God Yan Ba, was mentioned before in the book, but he did not think that it could suppress a planet.
He had seen the same question many times. Therefore, Li Yao wanted to explain that the capability of the starship was not equal to that of the Yuanying, but that the 'computational ability' of the starship was equal to that of the Yuanying. They were two different concepts.
For example, there was a super warship that was even more powerful than an entire aircraft carrier strike group and was equipped with nuclear bombs. The warship was controlled by a super computer.
The super computer could think on its own. Its wisdom was equal to that of the highest general of a superpower.
Such a super warship might not be able to suppress Earth, but it was more than enough to suppress an African continent.
