Text Chapter 460: The Game of Spear and Shield

It is always easier to destroy than to build.

"Storm and Stars" was rewritten by Feng Yu as a robbery textbook for his only son, so naturally it will not involve too profound and mysterious theories, as long as he masters various intricate phenomena.

For Li Yao, who is relatively weak in starship theory, this "Storm and Starship" is more suitable for him than the sixth edition of "Starship Maintenance Manual".

In the next few days, after finishing the work of cleaning up the ruins, Li Yao worked tirelessly, devoting most of his time to the research of "Storm and Stars".

When hundreds of types of starship structures were printed in his mind, he also learned thousands of tactics for destroying and sneaking into starships.

Later, he even came up with a very interesting mind-training game that combined destruction and repair.

Li Yao divided his divine sense into two parts, and each part has considerable computing power.

Part of it is from the perspective of the starship guardians, using what they have learned in the "starship maintenance manual" to try to repair the starship as much as possible.

The other part of the divine sense pretended to be an attacker, and tried every means to destroy the starship and break into the interior in the shortest possible time.

Using the spear of the son to attack the shield of the son, this kind of "cannibalism" thinking game, makes Li Yao never tired of it, and is intoxicated by it.

Each starship of a different type is a brand new "game map".

In just five days, Li Yao has played thirty-four "maps" in a row.

Most of the time, the "offensive" side wins, successfully destroying the virtual imaginary starship in his mind.

However, as the game got deeper and deeper, his understanding of the structure of various starships became deeper and deeper. Gradually, he was able to frantically repair them under the "indiscriminate bombing". Defend the starship within the allotted time.

Indulging in this interesting game to his heart's content, Li Yao completely forgot that time was passing by so fast.

Unconsciously. He has been in the wreckage of the Ghost Prison starship for seven full days.

The Golden Horn also sailed into the depths of the star sea and entered the cruising state.

...

For every refiner on the Golden Horn. In the past seven days, life is really worse than death.

Master Xiong Tao's mood seemed to be getting worse every second.

The bloodshot bull's eyes had obviously widened to the limit, but after discovering a few minor flaws in the magic weapon, there was always a way to widen it further.

It was like two nail guns, continuously spraying nails engraved with the frozen talisman array, shooting all the refiners and maintenance workers riddled with holes.

In the first few days, the old man would occasionally burst into anger and curse, but everyone felt a little better at that time.

But in recent days. After the starship encountered several major problems one after another and scrapped two extremely important magic weapon units, the old man simply closed his chapped lips forever, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, he became thinner every day, just like his blood essence They were all sucked dry by the Golden Horn.

In case of any failure, he always kept silent and stared blankly at the person in charge with his pair of bull's eyes that were about to pop out of his sockets.

When all the refiners who have been stared at by the old man gather together. The congregation always said that they would rather put on the maintenance crystal armor than be watched like this. Go outside the cold and dark starship to repair the shell for three to five days.

Xiong Tao was very anxious.

The situation of the Golden Horn is much worse than expected.

As soon as we set off, we encountered several serious failures, consumed a lot of maintenance spare parts, and left very little in stock.

There is a long road ahead, and there are still several very dangerous passages. Nebula storms and rubble star belts are almost inevitable.

The thought of taking such a rickety wreck and forcibly breaking into some of the most frightening gravel star belts in the Flying Star Realm. Xiong Tao felt that his scalp was numb, as if he was sitting on pins and needles.

but. They have no choice.

If you want to return to the central star field from the safest route, you need to sail three times the distance. Travel through seven fragmented worlds and five star fields.

And these places are relatively barren, and some fragmented worlds are uninhabited, and it is impossible to obtain a large amount of supplies.

If you want to return to the hinterland of the Flying Star Realm before the supplies are exhausted, you can only take a shorter but more dangerous shortcut.

In desperation, Xiong Tao thought of the newcomers on the wreckage of the Ghost Prison.

These newcomers are either young and inexperienced apprentices trained by the Dajiao Armor Division.

Either they are recruited from Xingjun Temple and have some maintenance experience, but have not received professional training and do not know the details.

Xiong Tao arranged for them to clean up the wreckage and collect supplies, not because he didn't trust these people, but because he wanted to learn more about their character and strength.

Xiong Tao has always felt that through this kind of basic work, the essence of a craftsman can be seen most clearly.

Whether it is impatience or procrastination, carelessness or carefulness, and even what kind of work it is suitable for, can be seen from the cleaning of a small magic weapon component.

In a week, these newcomers probably cleaned up a lot of magic weapon components, and they should be able to see a lot of things.

If some of them really have potential, Xiong Tao will not hesitate to give them more important jobs.

After all, there is a shortage of people in the various maintenance positions of the Golden Horn!

Thinking of this, Xiong Tao summoned several of his senior craftsmen together, and ordered the material delivery pipeline of the Golden Horn to connect with the Ghost Prison for the first time, and start the transmission of magic weapon components!

Half an hour later, from the tail of the Golden Horn, a folded hose with a diameter of more than ten meters protruded, gradually unfolded, and extended to the front of the Ghost Prison at the rear, attracted by the crystal magnetism, like a huge The mouthparts were firmly attached to the bow of the Ghost Prison.

Several refiners, wearing maintenance crystal armor, directly disassembled the shell of the ghost prison through the fully sealed material delivery pipe, and installed a movable gate that can be opened and closed automatically.

The material transmission channel is thus completed.

An hour later, standard magic weapon component storage boxes were delivered to the main maintenance workshop of the Golden Horn through the material transmission channel.

Together with four senior craftsmen, Xiong Tao opened boxes of magic weapon components for analysis and evaluation.

"The first two boxes are the components of magic weapons cleaned out by 'Lan'an'. Yes, he cleared out a total of more than 37,500 pieces of magic weapons from the living area of ​​the Ghost Prison. There are a lot of them, and the quality is quite good. Very few have flaws."

"Lan An is an apprentice cultivated by our armor division, right? I remember that he also awakened his spiritual root. It's the third level of the Qi refining period."

"His talent is good, but he is a bit informal. You see, there are still some stains in the corners of these runes, which have not been cleaned up."

"However, the maintenance work of ordinary magic weapons in the living area is still competent. Let him take charge of the living area, and he can dispatch people to take charge of more important positions."

Xiong Tao rolled up hundreds of magic weapon components from the component pile. After a quick glance, he came to a conclusion.

The rest of the senior craftsmen had no objection, including the instructor of the apprentice "Lan An", everyone was convinced that Master Xiong Tao had made the most correct arrangement.

"Miao Fei, who is in charge of cleaning up the No. 1 to No. 4 gun areas of the Ghost Prison, is a newly recruited craftsman in Xingjun Temple. He is 88 years old and has a lot of experience."

"Looking at the components of the magic weapon he cleaned up, they are meticulous, and there is no trace of explosion or flaw. It can be directly applied to the magic weapon without further processing, which is really good."

"It only took a week. He only cleared out more than 17,300 magic weapon components, and the speed is a little slower. It seems that the style of this craftsman is slow and methodical, and he takes the route of excellence."

"I think he can be allowed to maintain the artificial gravity system. Anyway, the artificial gravity system is located in the middle of the starship, and generally will not encounter emergencies. The most important thing is to be careful, and the requirements for adapting to changes are not high."

It only took half an hour, and Xiong Tao made three strikes and five divisions. Dozens of newcomers were assigned to suitable jobs, and a group of experienced people was drawn out. The skilled and experienced craftsman can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

next. And the last three newcomers.

However, the magic weapon component collected by a newcomer after that made Xiong Tao stunned for a moment, and his brows like brushes were deeply gathered.

"Li Yao, who was in charge of cleaning up the training area of ​​the Ghost Prison, actually collected 137,455 magic weapon components?"

"Are you kidding me!"

After the magic weapon components were recovered from the wreckage, most of them were in tatters, their strength and hardness were greatly reduced, and some of them were severely corroded by acid and explosions, so they needed to be carefully polished before they could be used.

A person's energy is limited, and it takes a lot of time and effort to carefully clean up a magic weapon component.

There is only one possibility that hundreds of thousands of magic weapon components can be cleaned out in just one week, that is, this Li Yao didn't clean up every magic weapon component at all, and he didn't even carefully distinguish the quality of the magic weapon components. The fragments that were severely distorted and deformed, and lost their recycling value, were collected indiscriminately!

Xiong Tao thought of this young man named "Li Yao".

His first impression of the young man was not very good.

He always felt that for a craftsman, the most important quality is to be down-to-earth and to seek truth from facts.

This young man "Li Yao" may really have some talent, and he has had some adventures, but he kept saying that he was a master of maintenance, but he didn't even know the simplest star tourbillon. Xiong Tao immediately felt that this The young man is a little vain, not too light and solid.

However, there was a serious shortage of manpower at that time, and this young man's hand speed was really fast, and he had awakened his spiritual roots. He was indeed a cultivator, so Xiong Tao left him behind.

Afterwards, Bai Kaixin was specially asked to encourage this young man, and he also lent Li Yao his starship maintenance manual to study, just to give him another chance to release his potential as much as possible.

Maybe he really has a talent for maintenance, but he has been wandering in the backcountry and was abandoned.

If it is really a material that can be made, Xiong Tao can't bear him to continue wasting his talent.

Unexpectedly, this Li Yao was still so impetuous!

He probably thought that the more magic weapon components he cleared out, the more he could prove his strength, right? young man!

Xiong Tao sighed, held back a trace of disappointment, and opened Li Yao's magic weapon component box. (to be continued)
