After all the hype, not only had all the Cultivators learned about the two pieces of magical equipment, ordinary people had high expectations for them, too.
Right now, the Flying Star Sector was in a mess. Many remote space towns had established militias and guards. The demand for magical equipment had soared.
The Combat Ability Detector had just been mass-produced, and the large orders from Iron Plateau had to be fulfilled first. Therefore, it was soon out of stock on the official website.
The Aurora Chain Gun, on the other hand, was still in the testing phase. After all, it was a piece of battle-type magical equipment that could be used for life-and-death battles. It would not be finalized until a long time of data accumulation and improvement was made.
However, some of the beta versions were still leaked to the market through various channels.
The Cultivators who got the beta versions of the Aurora Chain Gun recorded their test videos and uploaded them to the Spiritual Nexus.
Some of them even released instructional videos such as' 24 Styles of Chain Gun Arts' and 'True Knowledge of Chain Gun Arts'.
For a moment, the two pieces of magical equipment were priceless and could not be bought with money!
However, Li Yao had no time to deal with the craze.
All his attention was focused on another piece of magical equipment.
Inside the Ares Laboratory …
More than twenty refiners, including Li Yao and Xue Yuanxin, held their breath and stared at the package of strengthening components that was tied to the test platform by electric arcs.
The package of strengthening components was in a bright gray color that was almost transparent. It looked like a frozen gray cloud and was quite low-key.
On the other side of the test platform, ten pieces of attack magical equipment were being charged quickly.
Colorful light balls were condensing on the black barrels and the front ends of the spiritual rails, which were emitting hair-raising sizzling noises.
Suddenly …
"Swoosh!"
The ball of lightning that was restrained by three of the spiritual energy rails expanded to the maximum and dashed out abruptly in earsplitting shrieks, hitting the Ares Extension brutally in a streak of purple brilliance!
"Hum!"
The ordinary-looking Ares Extension hummed like a bell in an ancient temple. Ripples were spreading out on the surface of the Ares Extension like liquid. Every ripple was multicolored and dazzling to the eyes.
As the ripples spread out, the damage of the balls of lightning was distributed to every part of the Ares Extension evenly.
"Beep! Beep!"
Next to the test platform … Hundreds of light screens were floating in the void, and at this moment, a series of different numbers were jumping out.
The changes in the hundreds of thousands of numbers accurately reflected the changes in the performance parameters of the Ares Extension.
The buzzing sound grew fainter and fainter. The energy of the ball of lightning was completely released and annihilated silently.
An ordinary-looking light gray Ares Set. On the surface, faint purple electric arcs appeared, as if lightning was baring its fangs and brandishing its claws in the dark clouds, releasing a soundless roar!
"Swish!"
"Pa!"
"Boom! Crack! "
Then, the other pieces of powerful attack magical equipment were fully charged with spiritual energy, too. Thunder, lightning, fire, acid, freezing rain … All kinds of spiritual energy attacks were launched. They gathered into a torrential storm and bombarded the Ares Suit!
The numbers on the light beam were changing nonstop. Cracks appeared on the surface of the Ares Extension, but most of the attacks were absorbed by the Ares Extension as the ripples spread out!
Every attack added a new brilliance to the Ares Extension. At first, there were only a few electric arcs, but gradually, bouncing flames and bluish brilliance that represented extreme coldness were added …
When all the attacks came to an end … The previously ordinary-looking Ares Extension was now enshrouded in colorful mist and dazzling brilliance. It couldn't have looked more splendid!
"Beep! Beep!
Beep! Beep! "On the light beam, hundreds of thousands of numbers were jumping quickly and congregating into equations, which then deduced thousands of results. A translucent 3D human figure appeared on almost ten light beams, which performed a deep analysis on every organ of the human figure.
Eventually … All the glittering numbers jumped violently. A light beam flew to everyone's face and zoomed in, displaying the conclusion.
"According to the calculation of the crystal processor, in the thirty-second saturation attack just now, the Unparalleled Extension absorbed 74% of the attacks perfectly. The 'virtual user' inside the Unparalleled Extension only had three broken ribs and a slight laceration in his liver. His combat ability was reduced by 7%, and he is now in the 'Minor Wounds State'.
"More importantly, the 'Super Bendable Steel', a special material of the Unparalleled Extension, has locked all the damage inside. As long as the user thinks of something, they can release the damage and pay the enemy back in their own way!"
"We've made it!"
It had been half a year since the major setback of the explosion of the No. 1 furnace.
Over the past half year, every refiner in the Ares Laboratory had been working day and night without eating or sleeping.
In a corner of the laboratory, several deep sleep capsules had been placed. Many people who were too tired would sleep for an hour or two in the deep sleep before they resumed their work day and night.
The craziest researchers hadn't left the Ares Laboratory for months. Their skin was even paler than paper!
At this moment, the seed that everybody had poured their soul and blood into had finally blossomed and bore fruit!
Even the most solemn specialists were waving their fists and cheering as if they were teenagers who had just won a game.
Every refiner's eyes were glittering as they hugged their partners passionately.
Li Yao was hugged into a ball by quite a few refiners.
"Master Sand, we've made it!"
"Master Sand, you are truly the lucky star of the Ares Laboratory. If you hadn't joined us, the 'Unparalleled Plan' would've been delayed for two to three years!"
"Master Sand, the crazy ideas that we proposed have all come true. Hahahaha. They've all come true!"
"Also, is your marvelous forging arts from Iron Plateau a secret art? If you hadn't forged them by hand time and time again, it would've been impossible for us to develop sixteen different models of Super Bendable Steel so quickly! "
Although many people were still highly suspicious of Li Yao's expertise in refining, after all, they had been through a lot.
Inside the Ares Laboratory, after six months of cohabitation, the refiners were well aware of the formidability of the 'local magnate' from Iron Plateau!
However, everyone was so focused on the Unparalleled Plan that they did not have the time or energy to explain it to others.
Xue Yuanxin nodded quickly, too. He complimented sincerely, "Master Sand, it's not easy. You are the well-deserved second refiner of the Unparalleled Extension!
"With the 'Unparalleled Extension' and the three models of Super Bendable Steel that you've crafted in secret, you are certainly a great asset. You will rise to fame in the circle of refiners! "
"You're flattering me!"
Li Yao was affected by everyone's emotions. He felt that his nose was sour, too. He said sincerely, "Both the Super Bendable Steel and the Unparalleled Extension have been hard at work. All of us worked tirelessly day and night to refine it. The credit belongs to the entire Ares Research Lab! "
It was Li Yao's heartfelt words.
Going back to six months ago, he had never thought that he would encounter so many obstacles on his way of refining the Super Bendable Steel and the Unparalleled Extension.
Every refiner in the Ares Laboratory was a real genius, a freak, and a lunatic.
Every day, their minds were filled with unimaginable ideas.
"Add the extract of the Luminous Chrysanthemum to the Super Bendable Steel. Will the stealth ability be improved? "
"Can the classic nine-star power rune array layout be combined with the triangular power rune array layout to increase the maximum acceleration of the Unparalleled Extension by more than 3%?"
Even Li Yao was the same. His head was like a volcano that was spurting out scorching ideas, creations, and ideas every day.
After joining such a team, Li Yao was like a fish in water. They would not let go of any seemingly impossible idea and would test or disprove it with countless experiments. They would perfect the original design time and time again until everything was perfect. Then, they would break the perfect plan and start all over again.
In the end … Li Yao couldn't remember how many times they had done it before they finally found the 'Super Bendable Steel', which was made of sixteen special materials of slightly different natures, in order to refine the Unparalleled Extension that could give someone a taste of their own medicine!
Naturally, everybody thought highly of him and regarded him as a freakish refiner. But he felt that the refiners … He admired them from the bottom of his heart.
Over the past half year, he had learned a lot from everybody.
There was no need to mention Xue Yuanxin, a creation-type Cultivator in the Yuanying level, who was a real master of armor making. Li Yao had learned a lot of skills to refine the Ares Extension as well as the precious techniques to refine the Crystal Suit under his tutelage.
The other refiners were all specialists in a certain field, too. Material science, structural studies, spiritual energy conversion studies, calculation studies …
Even a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator often had a few unique skills. Li Yao learned a lot from them and benefited a lot.
After working for half a year in such a team of refiners of the highest level in the Flying Star Sector, he had combined everybody's theories and put him in charge of the operations at the forefront. His expertise in refining had made significant breakthroughs!
Not only in refining, but also in fighting.
There were many experts in the Combat Department, the Flying Sword Department, and the Battlesuit Department of Flying Star University. Many of them were in the middle level, high level, and peak of the Core Formation Stage. They were all seasoned experts. Li Yao's competitions with many of them ended with a handshake. He had learned a lot from each other.
It was needless to say that there were several Yuanying experts who were like a boundless ocean. The few teaching battles with them alone made Li Yao feel that his trip as a visiting scholar had been a worthwhile one!
After half a year of training, he had been reborn. Although he hadn't formed the Core Formation Stage yet, Li Yao estimated that his maximum combat ability was at least twice as high as half a year ago.
Even if the two of them were wearing the same Crystal Suit, with his extraordinary combat skills in the Crystal Suit, he would never be scared of a 'Jin Dan expert' such as Fengyu Zhong.
Besides, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was being deeply modified in the No. 2 laboratory of the Glorious Sunlight Refining Center on Sparkle.
Li Yao was looking forward to a battle with Fengyu Zhong when the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was finished!
Li Yao said with a smile, "Master Xue, now that the Super Bendable Steel and the Unparalleled Extension have been successfully refined, don't forget our promise!"
"I won't. I won't."
Xue Yuanxin was in a good mood. He waved his hands and said, "The Glorious Sunlight Group has invested so much money in the 'Unparalleled Plan' and accelerated my research progress. Besides, we signed a contract a long time ago. The Super Bendable Steel and the Unparalleled Extension will certainly be provided to you first!"
