40,000 Years of Cultivation

One month later.

Between the lofty mountains in the Midwest of the Star Federation.

A "killer whale" class transport ship emits colorful streamers, dragging a long tail flame, slowly passing the blue sky, and sailing to the depths of the hundred thousand mountains.

Inside the transport ship, Li Yao looked through the contract with joy and blew his whistle in relief.

It's finally finalized!

Large-scale refining of magic weapons is not a trivial matter. Although both parties sincerely want to cooperate, there are still many tedious tasks to deal with when it comes to specific matters.

In the past half month, Li Yao made subtle changes to the structure and rune array of the monster detector, mainly from the perspective of reducing costs.

Because many algorithms and symbolic arrays were invented in the last ten to twenty years and are still under patent protection.

It’s nothing for learning and research, but if you want to make large-scale refining to make a profit, you have to negotiate with the inventor and pay a certain royalty fee.

The solution is to find ways to replace it with the symbolic arrays and algorithms invented thirty to fifty years ago.

These symbol arrays and algorithms have passed the patent protection period and can be used by anyone.

Of course, not all symbol arrays and algorithms can be replaced. For some irreplaceable keys, it is necessary to rely on the businessmen of the Shanhai School to negotiate with the inventor.

In addition, crystal eyes are an indispensable part of refining monster detectors on a large scale, and purchasing them from the market at retail prices would be too uneconomical.

Although the Shanhai School cannot refining crystals on its own, some partners are refining sects, who have the ability to refine high-performance crystals.

They have reached a strategic cooperation agreement with one of them, so that crystal eyes can be purchased at a relatively low cost.

What Li Yao has to do is to fine-tune the refining process and use this new type of crystal eye to replace the "Super Falcon" grade crystal eye of the Holy Light Gate he originally used.

After completing this work, he personally went to the Shanhai School.

On the one hand, it is to investigate the refining technology and production scale of the Shanhai School, and on the other hand, together with Jiang Wenbo, to transform the assembly line originally used to refining Lingzi watches.

Through the renovation project of the Tai'a-type refining furnace, Jiang Wenbo was assured of Li Yao's "magic modification" technology, and many key parts were left to him to be responsible.

However, the people of the Shanhai School who originally had some criticisms about Li Yao, after seeing his crazy refining technology and transformation ideas, were all speechless and full of confidence in the Monster Beast Detector project!

After busying for almost a month, the obstacles in refining were finally broken, and after a series of bargaining, the two parties also finalized the final contract. The key points are:

First, Li Yao exclusively authorized the Shanhai faction to refine the power of monster detectors in large quantities, and promised not to authorize it to the second faction within three years.

Second, Li Yao still holds the patent right for the monster detector, and can be refined on a small scale for research or sale, as long as the output does not exceed one per day, and a clear mark is engraved on the monster detector. It is distinguished from the monster detector refined by the Shanhai School.

3. Shanhai faction promises that in the next three years, it will produce no less than 50,000 monster beast detectors. For every monster beast detector sold, the profit will be divided between three and seven, Li Yao 30% and Shanhai faction 70%.

Fourth, Li Yao provides technical support. Once a follow-up model is developed, Shanhaipai will enjoy the priority of cooperation under the same conditions.

For this contract, Li Yao is still very satisfied.

He also went to the market to find out that, like this model that does not transfer patent rights, but only authorizes exclusive production, the general share of the patent owner is at most 20%.

Although the technology belongs to him, other cultivating sects have to spend money, produce equipment, and have a marketing network. Hundreds of thousands of people are working on this project, and there is a risk of losing money. It’s not too much.

And in Li Yao's plan, his ambition is not just that little bit. What's the point of splitting one or two points with the Shanhai faction?

The first generation of monster detectors is just the beginning, and he will develop more detectors with advanced functions and vast magical powers in the future.

If the first generation sells well, we will talk about it later.

His gaze fell to the bottom of the contract. Under his signature, there was a very strange mark.

A small five-pointed star, but with a grinning mouth, the corners of the mouth curled up, as if he was grinning.

This is an exclusive mark designed by Li Yao for himself.

Each refiner has a very unique imprint, which is engraved on the magic weapon they refine, which is not only an identity mark, but also a special advertisement.

A magic weapon with a very ordinary function, as long as it is refined by the master refiner and engraved with the exclusive mark of the master refiner, it will immediately be worth a hundred times and become the most sought-after treasure.

This little star with a smirk, Li Yao named it "Demon Star".

He decided--

In the future, if you are on a **** battlefield, you will use the nickname "Vulture".

On the battlefield, it's who is stronger, more ferocious, and more intrepid than death.

The nickname of vulture is a cruel person. One day, even the demon king and demon emperor of the blood demon world will be trembling.

But in the circle of refiners, it would be inappropriate to use the nickname "Vulture" as such a cruel, it doesn't sound like a good kind at first!

Therefore, in the circle of refiners, his nickname is "Demon Star", haha, "Master of Monster Star", this name is not bad!

"Om!"

The killer whale transporter trembled slightly, and its speed began to slow down.

Among the passengers around, a little nervous discussion sounded.

Li Yao smiled, put away the light curtain, and instantly left the matter of the monster detector behind him.

Now he has more important things to deal with-the registered mixer exam!

Li Yao looked out through the crystal porthole.

However, there are lush and lofty mountains surrounding several large basins.

In the basin, there are countless silver-white towns shining brightly in the sun.

These cities and towns in the 100,000 mountains in the central and western part of the Federation are all military cities. They are composed of a series of arsenals, military bases, and warfare research institutes. They are the last line of defense for mankind.

At the beginning of the Xingyao Federation, the situation was far less stable than it is now. The eastern part of the Federation was raging by the East Pole Demon Country, and the great wilderness in the north was a paradise for monsters. The tide of beasts at that time was really overwhelming and destroying everything. Beast tide!

Many people are worried that the tide of beasts on the Great Wilderness will converge into a sea of ​​monsters and beasts, breaking through the line of defense of mankind in a posture of ruining the sky and destroying the earth.

The lofty mountains in the central and western regions of the Federation are the final counter-offensive base.

Therefore, the Star Federation has spent hundreds of years continuously building in the 100,000 mountains in the Midwest.

Countless mountains have been hollowed out and turned into a large-scale arsenal; tens of thousands of underground caves have been continuously opened up, deepened, and communicated, and have become intricate underground shelters; countless soldiers and family members have lived here, generation after generation, Evolved into a family of soldiers, waiting for the arrival of the final battle!

Registered craftsmen are divided into more than a dozen different categories. Li Yao applied for category C, which is a small military direction.

The refiners in this direction mainly refine swords, firearms and auxiliary magic weapons for individual soldiers. Their professional peak is the "armorsmith" who can refine crystal armor!

Because a large number of weapon designs and tests are involved, each year the small military-oriented registered mixer examinations are arranged in major military bases.

After drawing lots, Li Yao was drawn to the No. 19 examination room set up at the 8734 military base.

"Oh, it's spectacular!"

The transport ship climbed over a hill, and the 8734 military base was in sight.

This is a very large-scale military base with a large number of super-heavy magic weapons arranged on the periphery. Many crystal magnetic guns are several stories high in volume, and the psionic guide rail is thicker than Li Yao's waist.

After a shot, the power can be imagined.

Before landing, the hundreds of spar chariots neatly arranged on the ground dazzled Li Yao.

Although they were all relatively old models, as soon as the number rose, the group charge that launched an overwhelming group still seemed majestic and awe-inspiring. Even Li Yao, who was a few kilometers away, could feel Ling Li's killing intent.

The transport ship slowly landed, and candidates from several towns in the Great Wilderness filed out. Under the **** of a group of soldiers, they came to the front of a giant silver-white building that looked like an upside-down dome.

After verifying their identities, their private crystal brains were handed over to the military for temporary custody, and they were replaced with a crystal brain dedicated to the examination of a registered refiner.

Li Yao walked into the silver-white "dome".

Among the metal eggshells shrouded like a sky, there is a majestic hall that can hold tens of thousands of people.

Draw a red frame in the center, and block it with a defensive array.

This is the test room for the first test.

The registered mixer examination is divided into initial examination, re-examination and final examination.

The first test is a written test, and the test for school is theoretical, and it is extremely difficult. Most of the people will be brushed off in the first test.

Thousands of candidates from dozens of cities and towns gathered in the hall.

Many candidates are coming.

Because it is a national exam, the time is not easy to allocate, and many candidates waited here a few hours ago.

So around the hall, there are a lot of rest areas, providing exquisite food.

There are also simulated test papers in the exam-specific crystal brain.

Candidates can either eat and drink in the rest area and recharge their energy; they can also hold the Buddha's feet temporarily for the final sprint.

Looking at the time, there is still an hour and a half before the initial test.

Li Yao walked to a rest area, ready to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

Unexpectedly, before sitting down, he heard his name from the two candidates who were whispering behind him.

"Did you know? Our No.19 examination room, but the most special one among all the examination rooms, there are two different candidates who will take the exam here."

"One is the talented newcomer of Deep Sea University, Jiang Shaoyang who has the title of'tenth star'."

"The other one is Li Yao!"
