Chapter 258 Analysis of Armor, Shock to the High Command
Unlike his first trip to the Yanji Continent, this time Chen Yuan had already mastered the coordinates of the Dark Universe of the main continent, so he no longer needed to fly slowly from the border and could travel directly there.
Coupled with the extreme speed brought by the upgrade of the Primordial Palace, Chen Yuan reappeared on the Yanji Main Continent just two days later, starting a new round of hunting operations.
Compared to his peak strength when he was crowned a king, he is now truly invincible when he is crowned a king.
Even a high-level expert at the Fengtu level couldn't withstand more than a few moves from him.
With the even more powerful god-killing properties of the Supreme Treasure Azure Sky Sword, any immortality is rendered useless. A high-ranking King would have 50% of his divine body annihilated by a single strike, while a Marquis-level being would be utterly vulnerable.
Such strength is invincible on the Yanji Continent; no enemy can last more than a second against him.
The most time-consuming part of hunting alien races is actually finding a target. After all, the Yanji Continent is too big. Without relying on the Dark Universe travel, it would take 1.8 years to travel even at the speed of light!
On the contrary, once the target is located, the entire process, from arriving near the target to killing it and leaving, takes only a few seconds.
But if you factor in the time spent traveling, it's about one Immortal can be killed every three days on average.
Of course, Chen Yuan didn't waste any time during the pursuit. Instead, he used the 300x acceleration of the Origin Palace to cultivate secret techniques and speed up the fusion of the original core. Meanwhile, his consciousness was learning 'armor' related technologies in the simulated space.
A year later, Chen Yuan mastered the ultimate technique "Dragon Escape" from the "Riding the Wind Secret Manual" to the fourth level of perfection, allowing his secret technique to reach the invincible realm of King.
On the day he achieved the perfection of the Dragon Escape Technique, he went to challenge the Primal Tongtian Mountain, a Realm Lord level being.
It's important to know that mastering any one of the ultimate techniques in the "Riding the Wind Manual" to the fourth level of perfection means you have a chance to clear the game.
Chen Yuan, however, was so cautious that he practiced all the combat techniques to the extreme, ensuring that there were no weaknesses in his body's amplitude, attack techniques, movement speed, or soul defense, before taking on the challenge.
As expected, Chen Yuan broke through three levels in one fell swoop and cleared the most difficult level, Tongtian Mountain, in one fell swoop!
Leaving aside the 100 billion points reward, after all, Chen Yuan's savings exceeded 2 trillion Chaos Units after selling a treasure to obtain materials, and this money could be exchanged for points at any time.
The biggest change for Chen Yuan after passing through the Lord-level Tongtian Mountain was that his authority was raised again, directly from the ordinary King-level to the Elementary Venerable level.
After his privileges were upgraded, Chen Yuan was able to find more treasures in the treasure vault, and some precious treasures that were not previously searchable also appeared.
Most importantly, in addition to the treasure trove of the Virtual Universe Company, even the "Clan Treasure Trove" of the entire human race has been opened to him, although currently only the purchase channel for high-level treasures is open.
Similarly, at the level of the clan's treasure vault, the currency used to exchange for treasures is no longer the Mixed Yuan Unit, but rather "Treasure Points".
That's right. To exchange for treasures or other items of the same level from the clan's treasury, you must first offer up your own treasures to obtain treasure points, and then use those treasure points to purchase the treasures you desire.
Furthermore, the exchange of treasures cannot be done in the virtual universe; one must go to Chaos City to make contributions and exchange for treasures. In the virtual universe, one can only watch.
Of course, Chen Yuan currently does not have any treasure points, and his source energy is also quite scarce. After hunting alien races for a whole year, he has only obtained a little over 200 million source energy, which is barely enough to optimize the 'Mirror of Light' into a supreme treasure.
After the upgrade of the Mirror of Light, its power has increased even further. The power of its first form, "Sea of Light and Storm," is now comparable to that of its former second form, "Thousand Winds Realm."
Of course, the requirements for using this treasure have also increased. Now, only those at the King-level comprehension can activate the first form, those at the King-limit level need to activate the second form, and those at the Universe Venerable level need to activate the third form!
With Chen Yuan's current understanding and the Beast God's intent, he can use the first form relatively easily. As for the second form, he is still lacking, mainly because the level of the laws is too low.
According to his estimation, even with the assistance of the Beast God's intent, the Time Law would need to reach the level of the eighteenth level of the Bridge to Heaven in order to activate the Thousand Winds Realm.
The gap isn't that big, because Chen Yuan's understanding of the laws has already reached more than half of the seventeenth level of the Tongtian Bridge. With his comprehension of the secret patterns of the laws of time, he is expected to reach the eighteenth level in five to eight years.
Of course, because the simulation space is currently analyzing the weapon technology, Chen Yuan cannot learn the secret runes of the Time Law during this period.
However, the armor also contains other runes that can provide some help in comprehending the laws, but they are not as efficient as the Time Runes.
Two more years passed, which was the third year since Chen Yuan returned to the battlefield. He optimized his last treasure, the Silver Sea Boots, into a supreme treasure, achieving not only the goal of having supreme treasures all over his body, but also accumulating more than 200 million units of primordial energy.
At the same time, he has made breakthrough progress in the research of armored vehicles, and can now independently replicate armored vehicles in simulation space.
Only two questions remain: first, to transplant the power of the armored soldiers into ordinary armor so that it can be used by any race; and second, to find suitable alternative materials in reality without relying on the original energy.
In the fifth year since returning to the battlefield, Chen Yuan finally achieved his first goal: creating armory that could be used by all races in the simulation space.
Furthermore, he also learned the "encryption" technology of the armor, which could make the armor usable only by human warriors, eliminating the possibility of the armor being used by other races.
The last remaining technical issue regarding armor is materials.
Chen Yuan purchased a large number of materials from the treasure vault, and then conducted a series of combination experiments under the 300x acceleration of the Shiyuan Hall, trying to find a material combination that could replace the properties of the original energy.
Persistence pays off. Eight years after returning to the battlefield, Chen Yuan finally developed a material that perfectly matched the power of the armor.
This material is composed of 116 kinds of D-grade and E-grade metals, with a quality of E9 grade. It can perfectly withstand the power of armor and its effect is almost identical to that of the "armor" of the Yan God Clan.
After replicating the armor in reality, Chen Yuan compiled all the techniques and sent them, along with a completed human armor set, to Lord Youhou.
After receiving the armor sent by Chen Yuan, Youhou carefully examined the manufacturing technology accompanying the armor and was overjoyed. He immediately went to find the Lord of Darkness.
"Teacher, my junior brother did it!"
At the highest level of Thunder Island, Lord Youhou rushed into the Dark Lord's palace, his voice filled with excitement: "Junior Brother has successfully analyzed the Flame God Clan's armor technology and created armor suitable for human use!"
"What?!"
The Lord of Darkness was also taken aback. He quickly took the prototype of the armor from Youhou's hands, glanced at the technical data, and revealed a similar expression of joy: "It actually succeeded!"
"Excellent, excellent! My apprentice really doesn't lie. He said he'd finish it within ten years, and he's done it!"
After reviewing the information, the Lord of Darkness laughed and said, "Lord You, go and summon Chaos, Ice Peak, and Dragon Journey. Such a big matter should be known to these decision-makers as soon as possible."
"Yes!" Lord Youhou chuckled. "Teacher, you probably just want to show off to your senior brothers."
"Go away." The Lord of Darkness said with disdain, but the smile in his eyes never stopped. He muttered, "That's my disciple. What's wrong with me showing off a little?"
"Good, good, good." Youhou went out with a smile. Before long, the Lord of Chaos City, the Lord of Dragon Journey, and the Lord of Ice Peak arrived together. The decision-makers of the Virtual Universe Company gathered together once again.
After seeing the armor and weapons made by Chen Yuan and the accompanying technical data, everyone exclaimed in amazement.
"That kid actually did it!"
The Lord of Dragons looked surprised: "These blueprints and runes are incredibly detailed. I don't see any problems. Let's hand them over to the manufacturing department for mass production."
"Hmm." The Chaos City Lord smiled. "Of course, Chen Yuan has offered up his precious military and armor technology to the clan, so his patent fees must be paid at the maximum rate."
According to the rules of the virtual company, members who contribute technology can receive patent fees, typically 10% of the finished product's profit, with a maximum of 30%.
In other words, if the profit from selling one piece of armor is 10 units of Hunyuan, then 30% of that profit will go to Chen Yuan.
Armored weapons are incredibly useful to realm lords, who would sell their possessions to buy them, and even immortals would buy them, since a single piece of armor can increase one's basic strength by the equivalent of a low-level marquis.
If every realm lord in the entire human race's territory could equip themselves with a weapon and armor, then Chen Yuanguang could amass an immense fortune simply by collecting patent fees.
"Also, my disciple's treasure cannot be missing," the Lord of Darkness reminded him.
"Don't worry, this was agreed upon beforehand, so of course I won't go back on my word."
The Lord of Chaos smiled slightly, "I'm still counting on your disciple to be able to analyze the armor and the technology behind it in the future, so I certainly can't go back on my word. That's fine then."
The Lord of Darkness nodded, then thought for a moment and said, "By the way, after the armory is officially sold, my apprentice's patent fees will probably be an astronomical figure, and the Primordial Unit will no longer be of much significance to him."
"I suggest we open the exchange channel for valuable items to him ahead of schedule, what do you think?"
