C.824: Evolutionary Warships
TL : BluVerse
“Evolution?” Lan Xuanyu was taken aback and exclaimed, “The warship can evolve?”
Da Ming smiled and said, “Didn’t we tell you from the beginning? The Biological Warship is not just a conventional warship; you can consider it as a living organism. Being a living entity, it naturally has the characteristic of growth. The evolution of the Biological Warship mainly depends on its operator. The stronger your power becomes, the better your martial soul, bloodline, and soul skills will fuse with it during battles. Great power will be generated in this fusion and combat process. Through this, the life system of the Biological Warship will be positively influenced, resulting in subtle changes over time. Of course, this evolution will be slow, but I can assure you that changes will definitely occur. For example, if you now start piloting the Emerald Demon warship and in the future, if you reach the God level in your cultivation and frequently pilot it, then it will undoubtedly evolve into a more formidable existence.”
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath; he had acquired an abundance of knowledge today. The Biological Warship had truly opened a whole new world for him, one involving cutting-edge technology, and potentially revolutionary technology!
Da Ming continued, “The technology for Biological Warships is now mostly mature, and the testing phase is what comes next. In fact, we conducted many tests over the past years, but this time is when it’s finally fully formed. We hope that everything goes smoothly. We have preserved the bodies of several powerful soul beasts, and it is possible to produce them in batches. However, producing Biological Warships requires immense resources, so the production volume will inevitably be limited. We also need to consider the arrangement of different Biological Warships in forming a fleet. All of this is still in the planning phase. When you grow up and become capable of standing on your own, I hope that we will have a fleet composed of Biological Warships. By then, we won’t need to fear the Federation anymore and can search for our true, own homeland.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded slightly, understanding the immense implications of everything he had learned today. It would take him more time to digest this new knowledge, including how to control the Emerald Demon warship; which would require extensive experimentation in the future.
The volume of this Emerald Demon warship is much smaller than a warship, which means he can even pilot it for surface combat on a planet! What a formidable existence it is! Lan Xuanyu hasn’t fully understood the power of the Emerald Demon warship yet, but he can clearly feel that this thing is in no way comparable to a warship.
“The Emerald Demon warship can supplement its power source by devouring metal, but it needs to consume spirit-refined level metal, so be prepared,” Elder Shu reminded him.
Lan Xuanyu was happily thinking about the power of the Emerald Demon warship in the future, but Elder Shu’s words poured cold water over him. A warship that consumes spirit-refined metal? Isn’t that too extravagant? spirit-refined metal is a material that must be forged from rare metals. Even crafting a Two-Words Battle Armor requires spirit-refined metal!
Da Ming sighed, “Now you understand why I said that Biological Warships can’t be mass-produced. The power source problem is simply unsolvable at the moment. For example, the Silver Armor Great Peng warship even needs to consume soul-refined metal. All the top-tier blacksmiths of the Tang Sect are on our side, yet high-grade metal production is still limited.”
Lan Xuanyu looked at Elder Shu and asked, “So how much does it consume? How much spirit-refined metal is needed to pilot it for a day?”
Elder Shu glanced at him and replied, “You have to calculate it by the minute. If the Emerald Demon warship is used for combat, it will roughly need one standard-sized spirit-refined metal piece every ten minutes. If it’s just for flight, it can last for about two hours.”
Lan Xuanyu felt like facepalming. This This is too expensive. Then the consumption of the Silver Armor Great Peng warship must be astronomical!
Seeing Lan Xuanyu’s disappointed expression, Da Ming quickly reminded him, “It can eat fine grain too. If the Emerald Demon warship consumes soul-refined metal, then one standard piece of soul-refined metal will be enough to sustain it for an hour of combat or a whole day of flight.”
Lan Xuanyu felt helpless. This is still too expensive! How much does one piece of soul-refined metal cost? It’s the main material for crafting Three-Words Battle Armor. It’s a priceless commodity. Ordinary warships only need to consume regular rare metals, without any forging required.
What’s the waste rate for spirit-refined and soul-refined metals? How much rare metal consumption is needed to provide power?
Elder Shu said, “Aren’t you a blacksmith yourself? I remember you can forge spirit-refined metal. You should save up more for the future.”
Lan Xuanyu forced a bitter smile and said, “I originally planned to make money through forging” He had just finished forging Two-Words Battle Armors for all his classmates. He thought that when he returned, he could use spirit-refined metal to exchange for Shrek Emblems directly, becoming a wealthy person in the academy in no time. But who knew that now, there was this big eater, and it seemed to be an endless-level big eater Why is making money so difficult?
Elder Shu said, “With the appearance of Biological Warships, blacksmiths will definitely become more and more in demand in the future. We can’t show it too obviously on our side of the academy, but the Tang Sect has already started cultivating them secretly. You should also strive harder in this aspect. If you can become a Saint Blacksmith and forge soul-refined metal, it wouldn’t be so bad.”
Lan Xuanyu could only nod silently.
Originally, he had planned to try to make a breakthrough in forging after entering the inner court, advancing to Soul Forging. But now it seemed that in order to pilot the Emerald Demon warship, he probably needed to get in touch with the mysteries of Soul Forging a bit earlier. After all, using spirit-refined metal to pilot it was too costly.
Da Ming said in a deep voice, “Let’s leave it here. We should go. Xuanyu should also return. Little Shu, I’ll leave him to you.”
Elder Shu nodded and said, “Senior, rest assured, Xuanyu is the most important person for our Life School as well. He will be taking the graduation exam soon, and after entering the inner court, he will continue to deepen his studies. However, when he makes his next breakthrough, where should he go?”
Da Ming’s mouth twitched slightly, “With his talent, when he needs to make his next breakthrough, take him to find those people from the Tang Sect. Let him demonstrate the Five Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings and borrow the true Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. We can’t afford to have any accidents here. Alternatively, the Eternal Heaven Pool above the Eternal City should also be fine. These two places will be the opportunity for his future breakthrough. But don’t forget to take him to the Advanced Ascension Platform; there might be great gains there. However, at the Ascension Platform, be sure to conceal his identity and don’t let the Spirit Pagoda find out about his special situation.”
Elder Shu said, “I can’t forget that being able to trick the Spirit Pagoda would make everyone very happy.”
Da Ming directly sent Elder Shu and Lan Xuanyu back to Senluo City without meeting Lin Mohua again. They were arranged on a spacecraft and returned to their home planet.
Lan Xuanyu found that the Senluo Planet was truly his blessed place, as every visit yielded significant gains. He was ecstatic to have broken through to the fifth ring. After reaching this level, he firmly established the direction that, although his soul power cultivation was low, his overall strength was definitely not weak, fully showcasing the advantages of his bloodline.
This breakthrough had brought him to five red soul rings. Would the next one take him to six orange-gold soul rings?
During this breakthrough, he almost drained the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and absorbed three hundred thousand-year Immortal Herbs. What about the next breakthrough? That was also a headache.
