When it took the Spiritual Nexus five minutes to transmit Li Yao's telepathic thoughts that were as vast as an ocean, Xiong Tao specially checked the time.
It had only been three hours, forty-two minutes, and fifty-seven seconds since they sent the test paper.
Li Yao's lightning-fast speed cast the maintenance workshop into a weird silence again.
All the experienced refiners looked at each other in bewilderment, not daring to make a judgment easily.
In the crisp beeping sounds, light beams blossomed one after another like petals. The five refiners dissected Li Yao's answers according to the fields that they were good at and reviewed them.
"Right. Right. Right again."
"His ideas to solve the faults are very clear. The measures are very decisive, too. There is no sloppiness at all."
"Huh. He has come up with a solution that is different from mine. Three brand-new algorithms have been adopted. Let me see. Hiss. It actually works. Also, it is faster than mine by forty-eight seconds!"
Exclamations were echoing nonstop like the croaking of frogs in a pond.
There were one hundred and eighty-two faults in total. Li Yao had solved seventy-four of them perfectly. He had also found the crux of the other thirty-eight faults.
As for the other seventy problems, they were completely blank. There was not even the slightest clue left.
This made everyone heave a long sigh of relief.
They could all tell that all the faults that Li Yao had solved were very clear-cut, and the steps were simple, too. Some of the solutions to the faults were even more practical than theirs.
But the faults that he did not solve but pointed out the crux of the problems were indeed the most critical ones.
It meant that the correctness rate of all the problems that he had solved was 100%!
Under such circumstances, he was actually able to perfectly solve all 182 faults. These veteran Weapon Refiners were really wondering where this young monster had popped out from!
Thankfully, there were still some things that he did not understand. He was more or less … a relatively 'normal' genius!
However, what they did not understand was that, with Li Yao's capability, there were no problems that could be solved. Those blank questions shouldn't be so empty that he couldn't even write a single word. Why were they completely empty?
Xiong Tao pondered for a moment before opening the communication channel.
Li Yao, who appeared in the light beam, was wearing a thinking iron ring on his head. Under the dual effect of the freezing array glyphs and the medical drugs, a large amount of mist was still gushing out from his head, covering him in the white mist. It seemed a little strange and mysterious.
Xiong Tao was stunned. He did not understand what the iron ring was for. However, he did not dwell on the details and said directly, "There are two problems. First, according to your idea, when solving the 14th and 45th faults, there will be three minutes when you have to be in a high temperature of more than 800 degrees in actual combat. Is that even possible? "
"Yes." Li Yao nodded.
Seeing his unblinking confidence, Xiong Tao's heart skipped a beat, and he actually believed him.
"Second question. Why are there so many problems, and you have already found the root of the problem, but you didn't write any solution? There are also so many problems, but you didn't even write a single word? "
"Because I don't know how to." Li Yao said matter-of-factly.
Xiong Tao narrowed his eyes. "From the way you solved the other problems, you should be able to write a single word. At least you can write some basic ideas. Why did you completely give up?"
"Because it will waste my time."
Li Yao said calmly, "Every profession has its own specialization. It is impossible for a refiner to be proficient in all magical equipment maintenance and modification. Such a large starship has tens of thousands of magical equipment. Everyone is good at different fields. "
"It is not necessary for me to be good at all fields. As long as I practice the field that I am good at, it will be fine. "
"If you really encounter a problem that you cannot solve, then find an expert in this field to solve it, instead of coming up with random ideas."
"Yes, I can rack my brain and come up with some ideas. Maybe when I am lucky, I can even run into a dead mouse."
"But it will waste a lot of my time, making it impossible for me to focus on the field that I am good at. More often than not, it will mislead other people and even cause more damage."
"Time is precious. I don't want to waste a single second. That's it."
The answer made Xiong Tao's eyes light up. A faint smile that had not appeared for a long time appeared on his lips.
Li Yao's talent in refining was enough to surprise him. But what shocked him even more was Li Yao's extremely strong control.
He was not like a common 'genius' who would waste his talent just because it was amazing.
Good steel should be used on the edge of the blade. For a Cultivator, all kinds of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and training arts were certainly 'good steel'. But the most important resource was actually 'time'!
A powerful Cultivator would always be able to squeeze the greatest value out of every second. Like a stingy, stingy chicken, they would know where to invest their time. Only by accumulating time and accumulating time would they be able to reach the highest level of Cultivation!
Xiong Tao had planned to ask Li Yao to take care of some of the unimportant areas, but he changed his mind.
He meant to ask Li Yao to take care of some of the important areas on his own. But since Li Yao was too young, and his background was not clear yet, Xiong Tao found it inappropriate to make a rash decision.
Pondering for a moment, Xiong Tao raised his eyebrow and said, "When you joined the Great Horn Exo Society, Commander Bai must've told you that you would be given more important posts as long as you performed well.
"Right now, I want you to be Master Bai Ze's assistant and ensure the normal functioning of the spiritual shield generator together. Are you willing to do that?"
Li Yao blinked his eyes. Ecstasy was rising in his heart.
Of course he was willing to do that!
The spiritual shield generator was one of the most critical pieces of magical equipment on a starship. It was even more important than the engine compartment and the mainframe crystal processor!
If the power rune arrays were to explode, the starship could simply drift in the sea of stars. There was still time for it to be repaired.
However, if the spiritual shield generator exploded in a nebula storm or under the bombardment of hostile starships, the spiritual shield would collapse.
Then, the enemy's attack would hit the shell of the starship without missing a single bit.
No matter how solid the shell was … It would not be able to withstand too many such attacks.
As it happened, every time the starship passed through a nebula storm or engaged in a battle with an enemy … Psionic shields were bound to be hit.
Therefore, the spiritual shield generator was under tremendous pressure. In every fierce battle, there was a 100% chance that it would malfunction nonstop. It had to be fixed instantly!
To be responsible for such a magical equipment unit group, keen senses, high hand speed, and decisive judgment were all indispensable!
On a starship, the refiners who were responsible for the spiritual shield generator … They were often the most skilled, experienced, and respected ones.
Sometimes, they were only second to the chief refiner. Sometimes, the chief refiner was in charge of the starship in person.
All the crew members on the starship respected the refiner even more than the chief refiner.
This was because he was controlling everyone's lives!
On Gold Horn, Mr. 'Bai Ze', who was responsible for the spiritual shield generator, was also an expert of refining only second to Xiong Tao in the Great Horn Exo Society. He was a creation-type Cultivator in the high level of the Building Foundation Stage!
…
Li Yao followed Bai Ze. He walked into the cabin where the spiritual shield generator was located nervously.
Spiritual shields could be of different sizes. A Cultivator could generate a natural spiritual shield with the stimulation of his spiritual energy.
On the Crystal Suit. A small spiritual shield generator would be installed on the Crystal Suit, which was also a core magical equipment unit only second to the crystal reactor.
Small or medium spiritual shields could only be expanded to a diameter of one to two meters, which was enough to protect one or two people.
The spiritual shield on a starship, on the other hand, had to be expanded to a thousand meters long to protect the entire starship.
It was not hard to imagine its scale and complexity.
What appeared in front of Li Yao were sixteen black metal plates more than five meters long, embedded with countless crystals and carved with countless rune arrays.
The metal plates were in the shape of a ring. They were erected in an enormous, round space more than fifty meters in diameter.
Other than the main maintenance workshop, the engine compartment, and the bridge, this should be the largest space on the starship. Besides, it was slightly protruding from the starship. From the outside, it was like a lump on the back of the starship.
The generator was emitting tremendous heat incessantly. In order to dissipate the heat, most of it was soaked in special blue cooling liquids and rotated slowly around a thick axis.
The super-large magical equipment unit cluster was made of more than a thousand magical equipment units and hundreds of thousands of components. It was tall, magnificent, and solemn.
For a refiner such as Li Yao, walking into this place was like walking into a splendid palace. He couldn't help but hold his breath.
The spiritual shield generator could generate double defenses.
The first layer was the pure spiritual energy defense, which could neutralize the enemy's energy attacks.
The second layer was the twisting force field, which could deviate the high-speed objects, such as meteoroids and cannonballs, from their trajectories.
Such a strong defense meant that a starship was unlikely to be blown up by the enemy's remote attacks before its spiritual energy ran out.
That was why the Crystal Suit was so popular in the Flying Star Sector and became the mainstream magical equipment in the space battlefields.
It was because this was a world where 'shields' were greater than 'spears'. Only the Crystal Suit could penetrate the spiritual shield without being interfered with and invade the enemy's defense circle, or even the starship itself, to finish the battle.
During the two months of hunting, the spiritual shield generator of Gold Horn had been tested hundreds of times. It was already overloaded and riddled with holes.
In order to maintain the normal functioning of the spiritual shield, Bai Ze was almost exhausted. He almost wanted to jump into the generator and burn his soul to generate a shield.
Li Yao's arrival was a solution to his desperate situation.
In the next half month, Li Yao tried his best to repair his own spiritual shield generator with the debris of the spiritual shield generator on Ghost Jail under the guidance of Bai Ze.
Faced with such a complicated, large-scale unit group, Li Yao felt that his head was dizzy and his soul was exhausted despite his expertise in refining. He exclaimed that he could not bear it any longer.
He devoted himself to the maintenance work day and night. He was so busy that he didn't even have the time to study the 'maintenance manual' and 'Stormy Sword'.
His understanding of the spiritual shield deepened as he repaired it crazily every second.
He had to make every second count.
Because in three days, the spiritual shield of Gold Horn would be put to a severe test.
They were about to risk their lives and cross the 'Dim Flame Belt', which was also known as' Wraiths' Wrath 'in the Flying Star Sector! (To be continued)
