40,000 Years of Cultivation

Yuan Manqiu paused and said slowly:

"There are still three key issues that need to be resolved urgently."

"One is the technical difficulties."

"In the past year, I kept reflecting and trying to figure out tens of thousands of structural drawings. There were no major problems elsewhere, but the ultra-high compression crystal element reactor pot was indeed simpler that we wanted to do at the beginning."

"The biggest feature of the Xuan Bone Battle Armor is that it does not use heaven, material and earth treasures as much as possible, and this will cause the strength and durability to be greatly reduced. Other parts can also be compensated by structure, but the crystal element reaction furnace tripod , There is no way at all."

"Compressing the vast sea of ​​violent psychic powers into a skull-sized reactor cauldron, and depending on the battle conditions, it must output different levels of stable psychic powers at any time. The pressure that the reactor cauldron bears can be imagined."

"Using ordinary alloy materials is simply not enough to withstand such pressure."

"Last time, it was because a gap appeared in the reactor cauldron, and the ultra-highly compressed psychic energy instantly lased out, which led to the tragedy."

"I haven't thought of how to solve this problem yet. If you use Tiancai Dibao, the cost will be greatly increased, because other crystal armors, most of the heavens, materials and Dibao, are also used to refine the crystal element reactor. If we do the same, it will go against our original intention."

"Next, I will work with all the experts to go all out to overcome this difficulty!"

"Li Yao, take this jade slip. It contains all the materials of the Xuangu Project. You have time to figure it out."

"Although you are just a fledgling craftsman, but I know that your ideas are wild and unconstrained, and you may be able to find a new way and give us some inspiration from another angle."

Yuan Manqiu handed over a jade slip, and then sent it a unique divine consciousness, which was the divine consciousness that activated the jade slip.

All the materials of the Xuangu Project are extremely valuable and require unique spiritual knowledge to open the jade slip, and the jade slip is also engraved with a self-destructive talisman array. If it is lost, Li Yao can erase all the information with just a thought. , To ensure that the secrets will not be leaked.

The instructor trusted him so much and opened up all the confidential information to himself, Li Yao felt hot in his heart and nodded solemnly.

Yuan Manqiu continued:

"The second key issue is money."

"Just now we said that we have sufficient funds, only referring to the aspect of rebuilding the refining department. As for the Xuangu Project, in fact, the school still has different opinions."

Having said this, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "More than just the school, I am afraid that if you look at the entire Star Federation, apart from you and me, no one is 100% confident that the Xuangu Project will succeed."

"Most of the school's funding is used to recruit experts, purchase and modify floating mountains, and cultivate students. There are not many that really allow me to use it freely. However, I preliminary estimated that if I want to complete the Xuangu Project, at least It takes 5 billion to 10 billion."

Li Yao nodded, not surprised by this number.

The profound bone battle armor claims to be able to suppress the cost within 100 million, referring to the situation after mass production. It does not mean that the first profound bone battle armor can be refined with only 100 million.

This also involves a large amount of initial investment, testing and research and development funds.

Some experiments cost three to five million, or even tens of millions, to do one time.

In order to get the most optimized result, it is normal to do a dozen or so tests.

In the market, the unit price of the crystal armors exclusively for the golden core powerhouses and the primordial elders is more than 10 billion. The entire research and development budget of the mysterious bone battle armor can be suppressed within 10 billion, which is too cheap. .

Yuan Manqiu said:

"Funding issues and technical issues are combined. Now it is because we can't solve the technical issues of the wafer reactor, so others have no confidence in us and refuse to invest in us."

"As long as this problem is solved, with the current funding, we can forge a prototype machine first, even if it is forged by hand."

"With the prototype machine, everything is easy. Not only will the school have additional investment, we can also bring the prototype machine to the major sects and the military to invest. I believe that someone will be willing to invest in us, let alone 10 billion. Even thirty to fifty billion is nothing to say!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Manqiu paused again and took a serious look at Li Yao:

"Finally, the third key question, the first prototype of the profound bone battle armor, who should control it?"

Li Yao thought for a while, this is a big problem.

The prototype has just been released, and there must be many hidden dangers and defects, which can not be handled by ordinary people. You must be a very experienced armor master, and must be proficient in the art of refining, in order to find various problems in the test.

This kind of person is equivalent to the "test pilot" of Li Yao's previous life, a hundred times more powerful than the average pilot!

Yuan Manqiu spread his hands and smiled bitterly:

"I couldn't find a suitable person to control the profound bone battle armor. After all, the last test failed. Everyone has already known it. Now the entire Xingyao Federation knows that the profound bone battle armor is a cursed crystal armor. , Will explode at any time, and have killed hundreds of people before it was refined."

"You said, which elite armor master is willing to risk his life to control the unfinished, flawed prototype of the profound bone battle armor?"

"For a big price, you can find desperadoes who are not afraid of death from ordinary armor masters, but these people have not received professional refining techniques, even if they find problems, it is difficult to clearly describe them. , And many things are related to the secrets of the Xuangu Project, and I don't want to let outsiders know in advance."

"So, Li Yao, do you want to be the driver of the Prototype Xuanbone Battle Armor?"

Li Yao was stunned, and pointed to his nose:

"I?"

He was caught off guard.

In other words, happiness is like a flying sword, coming too fast!

Yuan Manqiu nodded and said sternly:

"I think about it, you are the best candidate."

"First of all, since the Profound Bone Battle Armor is a low-cost mass-produced crystal armor, its driver must be a monk in the Qi refining period, and the monks in the base building period have a better and more expensive choice."

"Therefore, when we refining, we aim at the monks in the refining period, and all performance parameters are tailor-made for the monks in the refining period."

"And the first person to be the master is preferably a cultivator during the Qi Refining Period."

"Secondly, you are a compound cultivator with both fighting and creative talents. If you control it, you can not only use the full potential of the profound bone armor, but also find many problems in the experiment. Everyone uses It is also very convenient to communicate with professional terms."

"Finally, you were originally my true disciple, so naturally there is no concern about leaking secrets, and the experiment cannot be completed overnight. Other armor masters may not be willing to stay in the Great Wilderness War Courtyard for a year or a half. There is a problem."

Li Yao listened, his eyes brightened like dawn.

It was perfect to be able to participate in the Xuangu Project in this way.

"But, I don't know how to control crystal armor."

Could it be Li Yao.

Crystal armor is different from battle armor. This ultimate weapon, which is condensed from countless magic weapons controlled by the crystal brain, is not only extremely difficult to refine, but also difficult to control. Only professionally trained practitioners can control and become Another powerful profession in the world of comprehension, armor master!

"It's okay."

Yuan Manqiu tapped on the virtual rune keyboard, and a huge amount of information was immediately transformed into the light curtain.

Li Yao carefully scanned it, but it was a detailed information about the "Armor Master Training Camp".

Yuan Manqiu said:

"There are many ways to become an armor master. The top ten major sects in the Federation, as well as Deep Sea University, Nebula University, and the Federal First Military Academy, all have their own crystal armor refining departments, and naturally they also have corresponding armors. Teacher training system."

"In the military, there are also very elite armored arms, and even a powerful battle group composed of armored masters."

"However, it is difficult for us to squeeze in these armor master training systems."

"Private armor master training camp is different. As long as you pay enough money, you will not refuse it."

Armor masters are popular professions in the cultivation world, just like the craftsmen. The training institutions for armor masters are like the crucian carp in the river.

Many private training camps are places where money is defrauded, and they don't learn any real skills at all.

However, the four private armor master training camps listed by Yuan Manqiu are the golden signatures in the training camps. They are all established by the recognized super masters in the armor master circle. Although the tuition fees are not blinking, it is true. Real materials, can learn real skills.

"Thunder Training Camp, one of the four largest private armor master training camps in the Federation, was founded by the golden core expert "Thunder Wei". It has cultivated countless powerful armor masters, and is known for his crazy practice and extremely cruel style!"

Yuan Manqiu called out the information of one of the training camps and said, "Thunder training camp, in five days, a three-month elementary class will be opened for middle and high-level cultivators in the Qi refining period. Your conditions are just right."

"If you are willing to become a test driver of the Xuan Bone Battle Armor prototype, then the school can provide tuition and send you to the Thunder Training Camp for three months of training and become a powerful armor master!"

"But one thing, you have to know first, this golden core expert, Thunder Wei, is a cruel man with a harsh character, advocating extremely cruel training methods. His Thunder training camp implements the law of lenient entry and strict exit. Although it is easy to enter the camp, You only have to pay, but you have to go through layers of elimination in the camp, and only a very small number of people can stay until the end and get his approval."

"Do you have confidence?"

Li Yao's gaze flicked across the Thunder training camp materials, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a frantic smile.

"Cruel? Severe? Eliminated layer by layer? Only a few people can stay till the end?"

"I like!"

...

Five days later.

Depths of the Great Wilderness.

A small, half-old, but not new transport ship, with patterns of thunder and tumbling printed on both sides, slowly flying in the low air.

A small oasis appeared in front of countless dull sand dunes.

Surrounding the oasis, there is a large area of ​​gleaming silver buildings.

Countless small light spots like fireflies shuttle, fly, and collide dexterously above the building.

If you look closely, they are all cultivators wearing crystal armor!

These cultivators, although they are training, are very serious in fighting. After thousands of meters, they can hear the sound of psychic explosions, like thunderstorms and raging waves.

From time to time, someone was hit hard, and the crystal armor appeared colorful brilliance and fell to the ground.

This is the Thunder Training Camp!
