Chapter 1366 - 699: Yangshan’s Spaceship
Chapter 1366 - 699: Yangshan’s Spaceship
In the following days, Liang Yuan went nowhere; he stayed by Yang Mei’s side, remaining in Yangshan.
However, he wasn’t idle. First, after he properly settled everyone from Spirit Jade Island, he handed over the metal attribute blood crystal to the research department.
Through the genetic furnace of the research department, a new batch of metal attribute genetic species was refined and added to the exchange list.
This naturally sparked cheers of excitement from the metal attribute superpower users of Yangshan.
Some people jokingly said that the version had been updated and that metal attribute superpower users were about to rise.
Currently, the genetic species that Yangshan can produce include water, earth, dark, spirit, and spatial attribute genetic species.
Among them, dark attribute and spatial attribute genetic species are strategic resources, and their external exchange is extremely strict; every purchaser must be registered.
Non-Yangshan personnel are not eligible to purchase these two genetic species.
As for the other genetic species, even individuals from other forces can trade for them.
There are also a few genetic species refined from the blood of mutant beasts, which are scarce in quantity and are not even enough for internal consumption by Yangshan personnel.
For example, physical class, power class, speed class, etc.
Coincidentally, there are quite a few superpower users in these categories, so now they can only rely on extensively breeding genetic mutation beasts to extract their blood for refinement.
Currently, the entire Lingyun Slope has basically become a mutant beast farm.
Not only is Dong Yan stationed there, but the beast-taming expert Huang Han and the newly joined Wang Ling’Er have also been dispatched there.
These are some minor internal changes within Yangshan, but Liang Yuan is more focused on the situation at the research department.
With the dismantling of Mengya Company’s armored vehicle fleet, the level of superpower technology at Yangshan’s research department is rapidly improving.
Today, Liang Yuan specifically came to the research department to listen to a report meeting about the achievements during this period given by Li Hanzhong and others.
"Mr. Liang, during your absence, we conducted a detailed breakdown and study of that armored vehicle and integrated our rune technology."
"We’ve now integrated these technologies and commenced a large-scale spaceship project research!"
Liang Yuan was slightly surprised upon hearing this.
"Spaceship?"
"You’ve researched a spaceship?"
Li Hanzhong is an expert in shipbuilding, but building ships for the sea and spaceships are not the same thing.
Liang Yuan never expected that Li Hanzhong and the others were already researching spaceships.
He became interested and asked, "How did you start researching this?"
Li Hanzhong said, "We’ve wanted to research this for a long time."
"This flood came from the sky, and we all want to know what happened up there, and where this endless flood is coming from."
"So, everyone has been focusing research in this direction."
"Additionally, as you mentioned, the military has always wanted to understand what’s happening in the sky. The Inspection Department relayed that the military keeps investing significant manpower and resources into the spaceship project."
"It might go into test flights soon; we can’t fall behind."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, the military has been researching things in the sky."
This was emphasized during his recent work reports from Zhuang Shuyuan.
Apparently, the military technology has made breakthroughs, and test flight preparations are already underway.
He doesn’t know the current results.
Liang Yuan followed the team to the research area’s development section.
They saw that the huge armored vehicle originally placed inside the cave had been dismantled to its base parts.
Beside it, a machine like a small airplane stood on the ground.
This small aircraft is about ten meters long and six or seven meters high.
To Liang Yuan, this airplane appeared somewhat petite; once he transformed into a genetic map beast, these planes would be like toys.
"Mr. Liang, don’t be fooled by its size; it’s because we are considering the experimental phase, worried about wasting materials, so we’ve designed it for a five-member team configuration."
"The entire spaceship utilizes golden armor runes for structural defense and is built with wooden materials."
"These wooden materials are from mutant plant materials, light yet sturdy, and highly insulative."
"After sketching the golden armor runes, its overall defense increased significantly."
"Each timber resource has been enchanted and solidified by the arsenal side."
"The framework is light, while its defense greatly increased."
"The outer layer is also paved with insulating feathers, sourced from those mutant birds you previously captured."
"These mutant bird feathers have high insulation, and lightning hardly penetrates them."
"Most suitable for use as spaceship hull material."
"The greatest highlight is the spaceship’s energy system."
"We’ve dismantled the energy system of the armored vehicle and developed Yangshan’s proprietary energy system."
"The original armored vehicle energy employed a comprehensive superpower stone for energy."
"We’ve adopted a similar plan; now, the Yangshan energy system can use any kind of attribute superpower stone, extract its energy, and provide it for spaceship usage."
"This involves an energy conversion device, which was researched by Ren Jie."
Ren Jie quickly replied with a smile, "Oh, I just learned from others, it was already on the armored vehicle."
Li Hanzhong laughed and said, "Something pre-existing can’t be used directly; it still needed your improvement with runes to form a talisman array to achieve this effect."
A group of people gathered around the small spaceship, continuously introducing its various technologies.
Almost every technology involved the enhancement technique of superpower runes.
This made Liang Yuan very pleasantly surprised, as it indicated that the rune technology of Yangshan had also reached a very advanced stage.
"Mr. Liang, let’s go inside and take a look," Fu Qibo suggested with a smile.
Liang Yuan nodded and smiled, "Alright, let’s go take a look then."
He beckoned everyone to head towards the interior of the spaceship.
The interior space of the spaceship was more cramped than expected.
Apart from the lounge, there was the control room.
The control room employed a central control screen, surrounded by numerous mechanical buttons that appeared ruggedly simplistic, yet exuded a unique sense of technological wildness.
Fu Qibo, standing nearby, introduced, "Mr. Liang, this is the central control room. From here, you can control all the systems of the spaceship, including the defense system, attack system, and more."
"For the defense system, in addition to using the Vajra Rune Array for physical defense, we also adopted the Spirit Turtle Shield Array as a superpower defense shield on the outside, which can not only block physical attacks but also spiritual attacks."
"The spaceship’s attack system is equipped with various weapons such as sealing rune shells and bursting runes."
"In addition, the spacecraft is equipped with escape pods, but due to limited space, the escape pods can only hold two people, ensuring that two people can safely descend from high altitudes."
As the research and development team introduced, Liang Yuan felt increasingly that the technological content of this spaceship was no simple matter.
However, he didn’t show any signs of happiness but frowned instead.
Shen Yunxi, at the side, was constantly observing Liang Yuan’s expression.
Seeing his expression, she felt a bit puzzled.
She couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Liang, is there anything you’re not satisfied with?"
Liang Yuan shook his head slightly and said, "Your design for this spaceship is very good, I’m quite satisfied. Next, we just need to experiment."
"Then why have you been frowning?" Shen Yunxi couldn’t help but ask.
Everyone also looked at Liang Yuan with curiosity.
Liang Yuan, seeing their eyes on him, sighed and said, "I was just thinking, this so-called Mengya Company gave us so much inspiration with just one armored vehicle, providing you with a large amount of rune technology ideas."
"What do you think, how advanced must Mengya Company be in the application of rune technology?"
"If we can study a spaceship passing through thunderclouds based on the technology on an armored vehicle, could it be that Mengya Company has already developed such a spaceship?"
As soon as he said this, everyone’s expressions changed.
This was something they truly had never considered before.
They were all scientific researchers, fully dedicated to research, not giving thought to such matters.
Li Hanzhong thought for a moment and finally said seriously, "Mr. Liang, you are right to be suspicious. Judging by the technology dismantled from the armored vehicle, Mengya Company’s rune technology level is indeed very high."
"This level of technology even surpasses that of the Guangfu Military."
"They might really have developed a spaceship that can break through thunderclouds."
Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "It seems we still have a long journey ahead in our research and development."
"Let’s not talk about this anymore; when do you want to conduct the experiment?"
Li Hanzhong and the others exchanged looks, with Li Hanzhong saying, "Of course, the sooner the better."
"But as for who will go into space, we need to deliberate carefully."
"We are still unsure whether the spaceship can withstand the lightning strikes within the thunderclouds. Although simulations have been conducted many times, the actual situation must be observed on site."
"This task might not have many volunteers."
People began to discuss, as the level of defense of the spaceship was uncertain, and no one knew if they could return safely.
Therefore, the safety of the crew was hard to guarantee.
At this moment, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but frown as well, as this selection couldn’t rely on coercion but must be voluntary.
At this moment, Liang Yuan couldn’t help but envy those superpower users with soul parasitism and cloning abilities.
After a brief thought, Liang Yuan said, "Post the task on the comprehensive body to see if anyone volunteers."
"Additionally, try designing the automatic driving technology on your side."
Liang Yuan regretted that his Puppet Threads skill couldn’t control living beings remotely.
If it could, controlling a few people to go up wouldn’t have been difficult with his skill.
Li Hanzhong said, "With great reward comes brave people, Mr. Liang, you need not worry too much."
It is a post-apocalyptic world, and there are too many people who can’t survive.
As long as there is enough enticing benefit, there will definitely be people willing to take the risk."
