In the small meeting room that was soundproof, he could not hear the reactions of other people, but Li Yao still vaguely sensed intense spiritual waves. He believed that the thousands of Cultivators participating in the Millennium Meeting felt the same as he did, and their hearts were in turmoil.
Transforming a planet into a space warship?
What kind of boldness was this? What kind of method was this?
Looking at the data and designs that were slipping out of the Grand Illusionary Land, Li Yao was dazzled.
Although he had seen the power of planetary-level magical equipment at the edge of Iron Plateau, it was just the debris from five thousand years ago.
Right now, looking at the brand-new designs, he felt that he was walking into a magnificent history.
Si Koulie continued. "Transforming a planet into a starship is the highest dream of the starship designers. However, the technical difficulties are too high, and too many resources are consumed. Even in the era of the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago, there were few successful examples.
"Therefore, although the major sects of the Star Fighters' Alliance had such an idea hundreds of years ago, they never put it into practice.
"Thirty years ago, we excavated a relic from the era of the Star Ocean Imperium from the war debris. From the relic, we learned that a project named the Ice God Project had been carried out in the Flying Star Sector in the era of the Star Ocean Imperium.
"The content of the project was to transform a planet and carve overwhelming power rune arrays on the surface of the planet. With the resources at the core of the planet as the source of energy, the planet would deviate from its orbit and rush into space, where it would become an invincible warship for human beings.
"According to the files, the Ice God Project was fully carried out in the last years of the Star Ocean Imperium. A planet with a suitable mass density and orbit was carefully selected. The modification project was carried out.
"However, halfway through the project, the Armageddon Rebellion caused by the Blood God's betrayal occurred. After the civil war broke out, the Flying Star Sector became one of the most gory battlefields. Therefore, the Ice God Project was put on hold.
"After more than twenty years of exploration after receiving the files, the Star Fighters' Alliance finally confirmed that the Ice God Planet mentioned in the project was Ice King in the Mystic Ice Space Zone.
"Then, we sent a large batch of Cultivators to explore Ice King. A lot of traces of modification left by the Star Ocean Imperium were indeed found.
"Ice King is enshrouded in the extremely low temperature all year round. The spiritual energy is not very active. Also, all the modification materials adopted at that time have been processed to resist the low temperature. Today, after ten thousand years, most of the rune arrays and facilities are still functioning.
"Furthermore, over a thousand tunnels have been excavated on Ice King that lead directly to the core of the planet. We can easily use the energy in the core of the planet."
"According to the calculations, the entire Ice God Project will be destroyed. We've already completed about 55% of the work, so what we need to do next is to restart the Ice God Project. "
Si Koulie said without hesitation. His voice was sonorous and forceful, giving people a feeling of blood boiling.
It was as if he could make any crazy dream come true with a wave of his hand.
With his incessant encouragement, information flowed into the small meeting room like a tide through the Great Illusionary Land.
At the Millennium Meeting, the meeting rooms were divided into ten levels. According to the strength of the participants, the power they represented, and other factors, they would provide different levels of information.
The outermost meeting room belonged to a small sect. Used by weak cultivators.
The information they received was that they were going to launch a project called "Ice God". To refine a planet into a starship.
As for the technical details, naturally, they would not be leaked out easily.
In the VIP meeting room where Li Yao was at … However, most of the technical details and key data were presented in full detail.
Li Yao and his companions did not say anything. They all boosted their computational ability to the maximum. Their six eyes were glittering as they processed the information like human-shaped crystal processors.
Very soon, steam was popping up from their heads as if there were three chimneys. The meeting room was enshrouded in mist, as if it were a bathhouse.
"Master Sand, what do you think?"
Xue Yuanxin asked solemnly without blinking his eyes.
Li Yao's eyes were particularly deep. Starry brilliance was bouncing out of his eyes. He replied, deep in thought, "… I don't understand."
Xue Yuanxin and Huangpu Bo both frowned.
"Do you really think that I'm a deity?"
Li Yao scratched his hair, which was as messy as a bird's nest, and opened his hands helplessly. "Every profession has its own specialization. Refining a Crystal Suit and refining a starship the size of a planet are too different, aren't they? How can I understand something that hundreds of starship designers of the Star Fighters' Alliance have worked on carefully?"
Xue Yuanxin and Huangpu Bo looked at each other and were amused.
It did make sense. Li Yao had left such a deep impression on them that they had subconsciously considered Li Yao to be omnipotent.
Xue Yuanxin and Huangpu Bo were also specialists who specialized in small magical equipment such as the Crystal Suit. However, they were experienced and knowledgeable after all. They had participated in extremely complicated large-scale projects with other refiners before. Therefore, they had more or less experienced firsthand.
Huangpu Bo pondered for a moment and said, "Judging from the files, if the Ice God Project can be restarted, it is very likely that Spider Den will be destroyed once and for all."
Xue Yuanxin smiled bitterly. "But that is the scary part. How can it be so easy to refine a planet into a starship? Can we really accomplish a project that even the Star Ocean Imperium failed to accomplish? "
The two of them shook their heads in silence and continued reading.
When they saw the budget of the project, the three of them exclaimed at the same time and stood up.
"Are you kidding me? According to the budget, the world of Cultivators will be so poor that they will have to pawn their pants before the Temple of Immortals is annihilated."
Li Yao felt that his teeth were aching.
He finally felt the dilemma of those seniors from five thousand years ago.
The production of one piece of super magical equipment above the planetary level would cost the life of an entire Sector.
The three of them were not specialists in the field of starships. They discussed among themselves and did not say anything.
The Grand Illusionary Land, on the other hand, connected the entire conference hall. The participants could ask the speaker questions at any time, and the speaker could respond according to the questions of the participants. They could also adjust the rhythm of their speech.
Very soon, Si Koulie received the opinions of a lot of specialists and scholars. He read for a moment. When he raised his head again, he was as confident as before. He said calmly, "Just now, many fellow Cultivators raised valuable opinions. Most of them were about the feasibility of the Ice God Project. Are we capable of producing a real planetary warship with our current capability and expertise?
"My answer is no."
"Of course, we can't produce a real planetary warship."
Li Yao was dazed for a moment.
He seemed to be able to hear the humming noises echoing in the 'Millennium Meeting Hall'.
Si Koulie smiled and said confidently, "However, everybody. Our goal is only to strike Spider Den. We don't need to produce a real planetary warship at all.
"Please take a look. After our modifications, the Ice God Project is as follows.
"We don't need to hollow out Ice King, change its environment, or build any space suitable for human beings. We don't even need to install weapons.
"Ice King itself is the best and most indestructible weapon."
"We only need to install a super-large power rune array system for Ice King, which will be powered by the crystal mother lodes and spiritual energy deep inside the crust of Ice King. After Ice King goes through a space jump, After a space jump, it will appear in the periphery of the Spider Den Space Zone and slowly fly toward Spider Den.
"The coalition fleet of the entire world of Cultivators will be hidden behind Ice King.
"When it reaches the orbit of Spider Den... After precise calculations, Ice King will accelerate abruptly and crash into Spider Den brutally.
"Ice King is one of the smallest planets. Its size is only 11% of Iron Plateau's. Compared to Spider Den, it is only 49% of Iron Plateau's size.
"However, as long as the speed reaches the limit, with the mass of Ice King... It will be enough to destroy all the defense systems on the surface of Spider Den in one violent crash.
"When the crash happens... After the surface of Spider Den is destroyed, our coalition fleet will be free to attack Spider Den freely. Then, we will be free to launch a strike on Spider Den and settle the riot of space pirates once and for all.
"Space pirates are the most brutal claws and teeth of the Temple of Immortals. As long as the claws are chopped off, the Temple of Immortals will become a river without a source and a tree without roots.
"The most critical part of the entire plan is not even how to modify Ice King, but how to make such a large planet appear in the periphery of the Spider Den Space Zone through a space jump.
"The most critical technique cannot be revealed right now. But I assure you that the Star Ocean Imperium has deployed corresponding magical equipment inside Ice King, which is enough to perform at least one super long-distance space jump."
Finishing his speech, Si Koulie bowed and walked off the podium.
The brand-new budget proposal was presented to Li Yao and the rest of them, too.
It was a very common trick, too.
The first budget proposal that he presented just now was the budget to modify Ice King into a real starship.
But the budget proposal right now was the budget to crash Spider Den with Ice King, after some modifications, and only the power part was left.
Although the budget was still very high, and infinite resources would be consumed, it was significantly less expensive than the first budget proposal, which was too outrageous. It gave people a feeling that the budget was acceptable.
Naturally, such an important project could not be decided by just a few words. This was just a general introduction. There would be a lot of detailed discussions to be held later.
What came next was Plan B, which was competing with the 'Ice God Plan'.
Plan B was proposed by the Grand Illusionary Group.
"He is Xiao Xuance, CEO of the Grand Illusionary Group and the previous leader of the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood, one of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City. Many people say that he is the uncrowned king of the Flying Star Sector."
Xue Yuanxin pointed at the man in the Grand Illusionary Land who was walking to the podium slowly. The man had surprisingly broad shoulders, a rustic face, and mysterious charm beaming out of his eyes.
