Ye Chong had a lot to do, a lot of things.
He had to practice shooting as soon as possible. If he could fight from a distance, he would not be so helpless against shooters, especially when piloting a mech. This was a skill that concerned his personal safety, and he could not afford to neglect it.
Modifying the base was a huge and long-term project. The defense system was already in place, but as long as safety was ensured, there was no need to rush it.
Learning the contents of the three chips that Kui had given him was also a long-term project that couldn't be any longer. Ye Chong was not sure if he could finish learning all of it in his lifetime. Ye Chong had no choice. He had to learn, unless he did not want to go back. But how was that possible? Mu, Shang, Rui Bing, the Sang Tribe … Ye Chong suddenly realized that he was no longer the carefree, solitary young man he once was.
No matter what, he had to go back! Ye Chong clenched his fists, his eyes unwavering. No matter how long it would take, no matter how much effort he had to put in, he would not regret it.
Other than these three things, nothing else mattered. He did not need to make friends, nor did he need to submit to anyone. He only needed to complete his research in the base alone.
Ye Chong heaved a long sigh. No matter what, he just had to work hard. There was no point thinking about it now.
Ye Chong had always felt that this planet was strange. It was rich in natural resources, with a wide variety of life forms. The planet was rich in energy, and produced energy crystals. This led to the high affinity of the plants for energy. This was also why the planet was so advanced in energy technology. However, to Ye Chong, this advanced technology was highly abnormal. Whether it was the theoretical basis of energy or other basic research, they were too far behind, and the system was not complete.
Besides, there was a very important flaw here - there were no metallic materials. The plant materials here had excellent properties, but they were ultimately harvested from plants, so they were restricted by the growth of the plants themselves, so the materials they could obtain were actually very limited. There was no alchemy here, and they did not produce these plants in a planned way. Instead, they used the primitive method of plundering to obtain resources from nature. To Ye Chong, this was very backward.
Ye Chong's rich and solid knowledge allowed him to view the technology of this place from a higher perspective.
Well, none of this had much to do with him, and he naturally couldn't be bothered to care about it. What he needed to do now was to make use of the current conditions to develop and strengthen himself as soon as possible. Suddenly, he had an illusion that he was in the game he was playing with Mu and Shang. They would slowly develop in a remote and unknown corner, and when the time was right, they would bring their own team and kill their way back.
Ye Chong thought back to those tough but fulfilling times, and his lips curled into a faint smile. He felt a surge of pride.
Let's see, I will definitely be able to return.
A month passed by quickly, and it was time for Ye Chong and Sun Sieha to trade again.
Sun Sieha came as promised. Beside him was a white-haired old man. It was Master Karu.
It was their first time visiting Ye Chong's manor. Master Karu looked around. Most of the buildings here had been remodeled by Ye Chong, and the style did not fit in with the rest of the manor. Sun Sieha was much more reserved, but his occasionally swaying eyes betrayed his curiosity about this place.
Sun Sieha had guards with him, but he knew that Ye Chong did not like crowds, so he only brought five people with him. However, the way they carried themselves gave away their identities. They were all Level 8 shooters.
"You're here," Ye Chong greeted them casually.
Sun Sieha did not seem to realize that he was now the King. He nodded casually and said, "Yes, I'm here."
Master Karu and the guards beside Sun Sieha were surprised to see the two of them greet each other so familiarly. Master Karu knew King Sumansieha very well. Although this King was extremely strict, he was very lenient towards those who were truly talented. However, his generosity was a little …
As for the other guards, they could not help but think, "Could this young man be His Majesty's illegitimate son?" When their gazes landed on Sha Ya, their expressions changed abruptly as if they were facing a formidable enemy. If a Level 8 shooter dared to assassinate His Majesty, he would be in grave danger under the circumstances! They quickly surrounded His Majesty to protect him.
Sun Sieha was a little impatient with these guards making such a fuss about nothing. He waved his hand in annoyance and said, "All of you can leave first."
He turned to Ye Chong and smiled, "Is everything ready?"
"Yes," Ye Chong nodded, and pointed to two large boxes placed under a tree not far away. The two boxes were exquisitely made, with many intricate carvings on them. The boxes were made by Kristen. This was Ye Chong's first mission, and she dared not be careless. She had not only chosen the materials herself, but also decorated the boxes, making them look like exquisite handicrafts.
Sun Sieha glanced at the two chests and nodded. Two guards ran over to carry the two chests out.
"Pay up." Ye Chong held out his hand.
Sun Sieha looked helpless. "Here, take it."
Master Karu watched the exchange with interest. He did not expect anyone to speak to His Majesty in such a manner. This young man had no respect for His Majesty at all.
"This is Master Karu, the most famous weaponsmith in Eastern Cloud. He has been wanting to speak to you for a long time, so I brought him here today," Sun Sieha introduced Master Karu.
Master Karu smiled, the wrinkles on his face spreading out. "Before an expert like Master Ye, an old man like me would never dare to call myself a Master. I'm here to learn."
"Of course not," Ye Chong replied politely.
Sun Sieha laughed and said, "You two can talk, I won't be an eyesore here. Sigh, I'm really envious of your free life right now. "
Sun Sieha and his group left Ye Chong's manor.
Master Karu asked tentatively, "May I have a look at your workshop? I have a lot of questions about the cannon array."
"Alright," Ye Chong agreed after some thought.
Ye Chong brought Master Karu to a red and white building. "This is my workshop." Ye Chong had learned his lesson from last time, and used a building as his entrance. Inside the building were some common weaponsmithing equipment used locally. In fact, Ye Chong never came here. Kristen, on the other hand, came here every day. She bought most of the equipment here.
That was why when Ye Chong brought Master Karu into the workshop, Kristen was surprised. However, she was observant. She could tell from the old man's demeanor that he was no ordinary person.
"Teacher," Kristin called out obediently. Ever since she witnessed Ye Chong's combat prowess, Kristen no longer dared to act like a big sister in front of him.
Ye Chong's student? Master Karu's eyes brightened. Kristen's beauty reminded him of something else. Could it be that this cold young man was interested in beautiful women? The thought only flashed through his mind for a moment.
"Yes," Ye Chong nodded, and introduced Master Karu to Kristen. "This is Master Karu."
"Master … Master Karu!" Kristen was tongue-tied. She stared at the old man in disbelief.
Master Karu was pleased with Kristen's reaction. He smiled and teased, "I didn't expect Master Ye to have such a beautiful student. How enviable."
"Kristen, my student." Ye Chong's expression did not change as he introduced Kristen briefly. Ye Chong was quite satisfied with Kristen, no matter what his motive was in accepting her in the first place. She was very talented and spared no effort in her studies. She was unusually hardworking. Ye Chong did not have much time to teach her. Most of the time, he only taught her the basics, and let her learn on her own.
Kristen was not dissatisfied with Ye Chong's irresponsible teaching methods. Instead, she tried her best to absorb the knowledge.
Ye Chong always had a fondness for hardworking people.
"Are you really Master Karu?" Kristen was pleasantly surprised. There was no one among the weaponsmiths who did not know of this famous old man. As the representative of Eastern Cloud's weaponsmiths, he was the idol of many, including Kristen. Kristen was excited to meet her long-time idol.
"Hehe, no one would impersonate someone of this old man's level." Master Karu chuckled. He felt that this little girl was quite interesting.
His eyes fell on a few small items on the table. They were only half-finished products.
He asked kindly, "Did you make these?"
Kristen blushed and nodded slightly. "Yes." She felt a little embarrassed that the respected Master Karu would notice her half-finished products. Her skills, in Master Karu's eyes, were probably …
Master Karu picked up one of the half-finished products and studied it closely. He wanted to see how skilled this young man's student was in weaponsmithing. Regardless of the profession, the student's skills were always proportional to the teacher's. Of course, there were many exceptions.
Master Karu nodded. "Not bad. This energy activation chip has a unique structure. You're very skilled. Huh? "Master Karu's expression changed to one of surprise.
The energy activation chip was the core component of every weapon. It was used to stimulate energy from energy crystals. This energy would then pass through other components and be arranged in a special way to form a lethal directional energy. The energy activation chip was the second most technologically advanced component among all weapon components, after the directional assembly.
Master Karu had been involved in weaponsmithing for a long time. He was older than Ye Chong and Kristen combined. How could he not be familiar with the energy activation chip, which was essential to every weapon?
No matter how he looked at it, the structure of this energy activation core was a little strange. It was only the size of a walnut, and its complicated structure was confusing. However, Master Karu could see every detail in it.
"What energy level is this laser gun's energy activation chip from?" Master Karu asked Kristen cautiously.
Kristen answered without hesitation, "Three million Lux."
Master Karu's eyelid twitched, and his voice changed. "Three million Lux?"
"Yes." Kristin was a little nervous. Although the energy activation core she made was smaller than the advanced energy activation cores that could be bought on the market, she was sure that Master Karu would not be interested in something like this.
This was going to be embarrassing! Kristen felt her cheeks burning. She stole a glance at Ye Chong, and saw that her teacher was still indifferent. Kristen groaned inwardly. She never understood Ye Chong's temper. Her teacher was a person who valued his reputation, especially among his peers. If she embarrassed him in front of his peers, it would be disastrous!
A trace of shock flashed through Karu's eyes. It was not easy to make an energy activation core of three million Lux into such a small one. The structure of the energy activation chip was very complicated. It was difficult to make it smaller. The higher the energy level, the larger the energy activation chip would be. In his workshop, the smallest energy activation chip with three million Lux was the size of a fist. The one before him was only the size of a walnut.
Master Karu was experienced, and his expression did not change. He smiled at Kristen and asked, "Three million Lux is heavy firepower. What weapon do you want to put it on?"
Kristen's mature face showed a little girl's embarrassment. "I just want to make a laser gun." Ye Chong had made two five million Lux laser guns. One was for his own shooting practice, and the other was for Sha Ya to upgrade, eliminating the speckled blue fir gun.
Kristen was naturally tempted, but Ye Chong did not make one for her since she did not need it.
Hence, Kristen thought of making a high energy laser gun for herself. The knowledge she had gained over the past few days had given her many ideas, and she decided to try it out. Of course, making a five million Lux gun was beyond her capabilities. After some consideration, she set her goal at three million Lux.
The highest energy laser gun available in the market was one and a half million Lux, and they were all exorbitant prices. Kristen was not confident that she could make this three million Lux gun, but she wanted to give it a try. Master Karu was too famous, and Kristen felt that what she could do was child's play to Master Karu.
A laser gun!
Master Karu's eyes twitched. A three million Lux energy activation chip was used to make a laser gun? If Ye Chong was not standing calmly beside him, Master Karu would have thought that he had heard wrong.
However, Kristen looked embarrassed, but Master Karu could see the seriousness in her eyes.
No wonder the energy activation chip was so small. The strange structure on its surface was probably why this energy activation core could be made so small.
Karu had an urge to immediately disassemble the energy activation core in his hand to see what was going on inside. However, he was not an ordinary person. He suppressed his impulse and looked at Ye Chong's calm face. Karu forced a smile and said, "Master Ye's strength is outstanding. This structure is unique." In his opinion, the structure of this energy activation core could be said to be unique. However, for a weaponsmith who could create such an advanced weapon like the cannon array, it was only natural.
Ye Chong shook his head. "She designed the structure herself." His eyes only lingered on the energy activation chip for a moment. Although there was still a lot of room for improvement, he felt that Kristen's attempt was very meaningful.
Master Karu was dumbfounded. Were Ye Chong's students all this skilled? Reducing the energy activation chip's volume had always been a difficult problem in weaponsmithing. Now, this young man's student could solve the problem on her own without guidance from a teacher.
This, this … At this moment, Karu felt for the first time that he was getting old.
Master Karu reacted quickly. "Hehe, it looks like Eastern Cloud is going to have another Master. You have a good student, Master Ye! "
To be praised by someone like Master Karu, Kristen felt blessed. She felt like she was floating in the clouds, and her legs felt weak. At the same time, she heaved a sigh of relief. She stole a glance at Ye Chong, but Ye Chong's expression remained unchanged. There was no joy in it.
"Since it's your student's own invention, can I purchase the patent on behalf of the Eastern Cloud military?" Master Karu looked at Ye Chong carefully as he spoke.
Ye Chong replied indifferently, "It's her own invention. You can discuss it with her."
Master Karu's wrinkles smoothed out as he smiled cunningly. "Miss Kristen, we're willing to pay 30 million ao for the patent. For every energy activation chip we produce, you will receive 5% of the profits for 20 years. What do you think?" Master Karu was an experienced man. He believed that if everything went well, this technology would give them a 30 year head start over their enemies. The price was not high.
Kristen felt a little dizzy. She looked at Master Karu in bewilderment, then turned to the calm Ye Chong for help. (To be continued, for further updates, please log on to WWW .CMFU. com. Support the author! Support the original!)
