Chapter 98: Humanity and Sophistication
"Commander, the missile has been shot down!"
"Report this to the Archon and send an inquiry to Fortress No. 82."
Dongfang Zhenghong hung up the call and cursed with a dark face: "A bunch of moths! They've eaten up all the 82 fortresses! Damn it!"
Wang Jixuan was a little confused: "Shooting missiles, what does this mean?"
Zheng Shiduo swallowed the roasted meat that he had not chewed twice and explained quickly:
"Fortress No. 82 launched a missile at us, and the missile landed exactly 25 kilometers away from our ground military camp. This was a demonstration, or a warning.
“The person behind this is most likely the Thirteen Institutes.
"Then they will give us an explanation, and they will probably say - Oops, they shot it by mistake, don't be nervous.
"It could also be that - Oops, we were sneak-attacking the flying dragon that was passing by in the sky, and accidentally missed it."
Zheng Shiduo couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Sure enough, within two minutes, Dongfang Zhenghong received a report from his subordinates.
At a missile site near Fortress No. 82, when conducting a test launch of a new model of missile, a temporary technician entered the wrong coordinates, for which they deeply apologized.
"Look," Zheng Shiduo spread his hands, "They have already apologized, what else can we say."
Dongfang Masahiro silently gnawed on a skewer of freshly roasted bladed beast meat.
Daochang Wang wanted to remind this middle-aged uncle... Eating too much of this food will really cause difficulty in defecation...
Among the people present, the only one who did not worry about this problem was Zheng Shiduo.
Very niche advantage.
Shen Hai smiled and said: "There will be a good show next, let's watch our consul mediate it."
"You don't have to worry," Dongfang Zhenghong said with a dark face, "The more the enemy opposes, it means we are on the right path! Teacher Wang Zheng, I leave the psychic weapons to you!"
"Easy to say," Wang Daochang responded calmly.
He's not just showing off.
Just a little bit of the necessary manners of a senior person.
…
It was already early in the morning when Daochang Wang returned to his dormitory.
There was a small plastic bag hanging on the door handle with a note attached to it. Inside the plastic bag were more than a dozen crooked bear biscuits.
The note read:
[Thank you for taking care of me! This is a bake made by the kids in our class! Please forget about the previous accident! please! ——Your neighbor on the right. 】
Daochang Wang's expression was a bit confusing.
The neighbor on the right...if he turns around, wouldn't it be on the left? Can't this tall girl even tell the difference between east, west, north and south?
Shaking his head, Wang Daozhang picked up the biscuits and ate two pieces.
The taste is average, with a coexistence of undercooked and burnt, but natural starch itself tastes much better than synthetic starch.
It's just... this kind of thing reminded Wang Daozhang of some unpleasant memories.
There once was a girl who lived in a wooden house and was extremely skilled at baking this thing.
Wang Jixuan sighed softly in his heart and went back to his room to practice.
Now that there is no shortage of crystal nuclei for the time being, the Taoist Master will not be stingy with himself. He directly took out twenty-one crystal nuclei, intending to continue to increase the total amount of mana in the body, open up the meridians, and forge the Tao body while healing the wounds.
As for the bad things about political struggle, just let Xiao Zhou, Dongfang Commander, and the Consul do it.
Practice quickly!
Over the next week, his practice rhythm gradually became fixed and his schedule was full.
Every morning, he would use the power of the rising sun to purify the remaining demonic energy in his body, and enter samadhi to mend the gaps in his soul.
The meditation practice lasts until noon. When the fire element in the spiritual energy gets too hot, he will break away from the meditation and rush to the 'studio' surrounded by blue canvas to eat lunch made by Xiaoqi.
Compared with Sister Wan, Wan Xiaoqi's cooking skills still have a lot of room for improvement. She focuses on a normal taste and cooked meat.
Compared to someone's mother, that's pretty good!
In the afternoon, Wang Jixuan will teach himself all the machinist courses and ask Uncle Tai for advice;
After dinner, he took Uncle Tai to study the secondary development of the blade beast's exoskeleton. They wanted to break down the blade beast's exoskeleton into a better shape to prepare for the mass production of the Demon-Breaking Dagger.
Around ten o'clock in the evening, Taoist Master Wang would return to his dormitory and use the Spirit Release Array to supply spiritual energy to speed up his practice.
Within a week, more than half of his soul's injuries had recovered, and most of the demonic energy in his body had been purified.
The cultivation level has officially entered the intermediate level of God Gathering Realm!
At this time, Wang Ji's mysterious spiritual consciousness was able to detect a radius of four hundred meters, which was almost one hundred and twenty feet.
Taoist Wang was quite pleased with this.
He is very satisfied with the current state of practice, and the improvement and mass production plan of the Demon-Breaking Dagger are also accelerating.
Now, Wang Jixuan and Uncle Tai have determined the basic structure of the improved demon-breaking dagger:
[Metal shell carrying edge restrictions] to ensure basic sharpness;
[Pull-out blade beast bone inside Gallbladder], as long as the inner gallbladder is pushed in, a complete ban can be formed;
[Removable multi-module handle], the dagger can be directly transformed into a spear.
At the same time, Wang Jixuan has given two plans to depict the ban.
One is to use laser engraving on the blade beast's outer bone, and nourish it with spiritual energy to construct a restricted 'spiritual power path';
The other is to use three-dimensional printing to make a spirit sculpture by mixing the blade beast's outer bone and blood. Pulp, plated on the outer bone.
Both options have their own advantages and disadvantages, and both can mass-produce demon-breaking daggers that have basic weapon refining restrictions but cannot be effective.
The most critical and difficult part of mass-producing the Demon-Breaking Dagger is the processing technology of this last step.
[Activate these demon-breaking daggers in batches].
There are two ideas here: the lightning-inducing method and the sacrificial method.
Wang Jixuan now prefers the idea of 'drawing thunder', because 'sacrifice' the blade beast soul basically requires his own operation.
He just wanted to give the human army a 'basic magic weapon', rather than binding himself to this work station.
Cultivation is his main occupation.
Uncle Tai has already found a few reliable engineers to design an experimental device to simulate lightning strikes.
They certainly cannot achieve the energy of a natural lightning strike, and a simple magical weapon such as the Demon-Breaking Dagger cannot withstand the bombardment of natural lightning strikes.
Subsequent experiments will be carried out intensively.
Where Wang Daochang cannot see, the overt and covert struggle between the 13th Institute and the D5 Military Region has reached the point of breaking out.
Political persecution, Professor Zhuang being targeted, military threats, Professor Zhuang being sentenced, psychic pressure, Professor Zhuang being betrayed, the Commander-in-Chief furious, Professor Zhuang comatose in prison...
These dramas are taking turns.
Where Wang Daozhang could directly see it, it was extremely peaceful.
Lingtong is waiting for the mechanical arm to be repaired.
Sister Wan secretly told Wang Jixuan that they had received an order from the Commander-in-Chief to upgrade Lingtong's robotic arm without deeply modifying her body.
Because after testing, it was found that the various values of Lingtong's human body parts that had been fully strengthened had been significantly improved.
This is not just an improvement of 12%, but an improvement of about 10%!
The reason was determined by Sister Wan to be related to Wang Jixuan’s massage.
Sister Wan secretly asked Taoist Wang to help Lingtong continue to massage. Lingtong may really become the successor of the commander-in-chief, pilot a new generation of terrifying mecha, and bring hope to mankind to fight back against the blade beasts.
Of course Taoist Wang agreed immediately.
Later, he can even teach Lingtong some simple methods of mental training so that she can make up for her final shortcomings. ——Easily suffer mental shock.
As for Lingtong's subsequent body strengthening, there is no need to worry about it. The higher his cultivation level, the higher he can naturally take her.
These things were a "conspiracy" between him and Sister Wan. Lingtong had a bit of a strong self-esteem, so they decided not to tell Lingtong for the time being.
Sister Wan, a person who has been around, knows Lingtong's character very well. During this period, Sister Wan would send a photo of Lingtong to Wang Daochang every day through Uncle Tai's communicator.
At ten o'clock every night, Wang Jixuan would send a greeting message to Lingtong, simply saying that he was safe.
Every morning at six o'clock, Lingtong will send a message saying "get up and train".
Because both of them have their own things to be busy with, they don't chat much.
Zhou Zhengde's side was stable, and he began to study, read, and have fun in the military prison. His total sentence was undecided. He would be released directly after the struggle outside came to an end.
As long as Xiao Zhou is on vacation in the military prison, he can open a protective umbrella for Fortress 76, so that there will be no psychics here for the time being.
If Wang Daochang comments on this matter, he can only say:
Great job! If Wang Daozhang was asked to give Zhou Zhengde a sentence, it should be...
A few more months.
Anyway, Zhou Zhengde enjoyed it very much, and Zhou Meiying really started arranging blind dates for her son in the military prison!
Wang Jixuan can almost imagine this scene:
[In the dark visiting room of the prison, the elegant Mr. Zhou, wearing a crisp prison uniform, sat opposite a noble lady wearing a fishtail skirt. , the two of them lit two white candles, savored the smell of fermented alcohol, looked at each other's pectoralis major muscles, secretly wiped saliva, and the jailer made a bed in the next room. 】
‘Tsk, poor Taoist is starting to learn bad things too. ’
Taoist Wang shook his head and continued to practice peacefully.
On the tenth day after they moved here, Dongfang Zhenghong found Wang Jixuan again.
This time it was around eleven o'clock in the evening. Dongfang Zhenghong led several guards and went directly to Wang Jixuan's dormitory.
Obviously, the commander had something important to discuss with him.
…
"Teacher Wang Zheng, come and see this."
Dongfang Zhenghong took a piece of white paper and handed it to Wang Jixuan.
Above is a series of handwritten data.
This was a battle to encircle and suppress the young king insects and a battle to defend the fortress. Various blade beasts were killed and how many crystal cores were seized.
Wang Jixuan was a little confused: "What's wrong?"
"Ahem," Dongfang Masahiro whispered, "Only we have this data for the time being, because there are no psykers in the fortress for the time being, so there is no one to supervise... You know what I mean."
Wang Jixuan's eyes shone: "How many can you take?"
"In the upper half, the data on the battle to encircle and suppress the young king insects is almost transparent."
Dongfang Masahiro said: "Satellite detection data, as well as our data sharing with the two-level theater headquarters, it is best not to leave this part alone, otherwise it will give the Thirteenth Institute a reason to launch an attack.
“The law at this stage is a balance point after the competition between various forces, and it should not be broken for the time being.
"But we can do some work on the following part... Many larval blade beasts don't have crystal nuclei in their bodies.
"What I mean is that by using this part of the core... we can mark some of the adult blade beasts as juvenile blade beasts, so that the crystal core output rate of the juvenile blade beasts can be reduced from the current 67% to 47%... What do you think? "
Wang Jixuan leaned back: "Can't it be reduced to 27%?"
"That's outrageous and they can see it right away."
"How many crystal nuclei can we get in total?"
"You can get about five thousand pieces..."
Dongfang Zhenghong smiled and said:
"The crystal core in the young body is small and has relatively low psychic response. We can also secretly replace it. As long as Thirteen doesn't get caught, we can operate it."
Wang Jixuan stood up and walked quickly to the cupboard nearby.
"Commander, I have made two top-notch demon-breaking daggers in the past few days."
Taoist priest Wang took out two long sheathed swords and sent them to Dongfang Zhenghong with a smile, saying warmly:
"It takes five seconds to regenerate full psychic energy and can pierce the relatively weak parts of the special pterosaur, but it requires a certain amount of skill."
Clang!
“This?”
Dongfang Zhenghong played with it fondly and said with a smile:
"Give it to me? I don't participate in frontline command. Isn't that bad?"
"It's just some commemorative things, nothing more. The other one will be used as a decoration for our commander-in-chief."
Wang Jixuan said seriously:
"As long as the confidentiality of the D5 theater is in place and the Demon-Breaking Dagger is mass-produced, I will build a big sword like the one used by Lingtong for each of the half-human mechas in the D5 theater.
"Follow-up, if I think the time is right, I will build a set of full-body armor for Lingtong with my own secret.
"I only have two conditions. First, no urging. Second, I only trust Lingtong."
"happy!"
Dongfang Zhenghong stretched out his right hand and said with stern eyes: "Five thousand crystal cores are at your disposal! Just tell Uncle Tai how much you need, and we will deliver it in small batches."
Taoist Wang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Dongfang Zhenghong.
Dongfang Masahiro stood up and said: "I'll go back and continue working... Shenhai is waiting for you at the studio. He wants to take you down to study that kind of crystal. In the past period, we have invested a lot of manpower and material resources, but we have not been able to collect that kind of crystal." ”
"Okay," Wang Jixuan agreed, "thank you for making the trip."
"Zheng De is not here, it is better to discuss such a big matter in person."
Dongfang Zhenghong's eyes were a little touched, and he suddenly bowed slightly to Wang Jixuan.
Wang Jixuan was at a loss: "Commander?"
"Thank you! On my behalf!"
Dongfang Masahiro turned around and left quickly, quickly walking away with several guards.
Outside the door, the neighbor girl who was going downstairs to throw away garbage happened to see this scene. She was so frightened that she hid around the corner and looked at Wang Jixuan's dormitory curiously.
When Dongfang Zhenghong and the guards looked over, she subconsciously lowered her head and faced the wall to think about it, and she was so nervous that she was shaking a little.
Wang Jixuan blinked when he saw this, and closed the door with a smile.
This kid is really afraid of life.
…
At the edge of the third level of Fortress No. 76, the No. 3 supplies were protected by multiple gates.
A convoy of several trucks was stopped for inspection.
These armored trucks had traveled a long distance, and the drivers were very tired. The two drivers, a man and a woman, attracted the attention of the inspector.
The inspector's eyes were very poisonous, and he could see at a glance that these two ordinary people were not ordinary people.
Men have a toned physique, and women have a hot figure. These are the shapes that can only be created by years of exercise and adequate nutrition.
The recently added psychic detection equipment at the checkpoint has already emitted a faint red light.
"you……"
Just as the inspector was about to speak, the woman opened her gray coat with a smile, revealing a deep career line and a note hanging in the career line.
She pinched out the note, rubbed it against her lips, and handed it to the inspector.
The inspector opened it and took a look, raised his eyebrows slightly, put the note away without leaving a trace, and waved his hand to the side.
The convoy is released.
"Waiting for you," the woman winked.
The inspector blinked slightly.
However, after the convoy entered the next gate, the inspector who had been smiling suddenly changed his face and calmly picked up the walkie-talkie.
"One C and one D are coming in. The convoy of Fortress 82 is deploying heavy firepower at the back. According to the commander's order, the anti-machine sniper rifle will directly snipe it. If it can't be sniped, it will be blown up. Accidental damage is allowed."
"receive."
"Captain, for C and D, do you mean the psychic level, or the pectoralis major of these two?"
"Just a match."
The inspector chuckled and walked back to his post to sit quietly.
A few minutes later, two dull sniper shots came from the rear gate.
The inspector clicked his tongue slightly and curled his lips with disdain.
"In what age are you still engaging in such low-level bribery? Are psychics showing off their brains? I'm almost no longer interested in those hot girls who are sexually open... They don't even give them rare supplies. Do you know what it means? "Humanity."
at the same time.
Outside Fortress No. 76, on the edge of the Sari Desert.
Several figures were sitting in an invisible aircraft, discussing something in a low voice.
