"Learned everything?"
Jikesu was very surprised by Ye Zhongming's learning speed. He had taught the knowledge he compiled to Ye Zhongming for three days, and this kid said he had learned it and asked if there was anything else he could learn.
"You can test ."
The Technology Chief looked at Ye Zhongming very seriously for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I think you really have learned it."
With Jikesu's experience, it was easy to tell whether Ye Zhongming had truly learned it or not.
"Has it been helpful for your equipnt creation?"
Jikesu asked again.
Ye Zhongming did not answer imdiately, but directly took out a piece of equipnt.
It was a shield.
Jikesu could tell at a glance that this piece of equipnt was different from the ones Ye Zhongming had created before.
Previously, all the equipnt Ye Zhongming created used wheel technology. From the outside, it gave people a sense of seamless integration; the entire piece was simple and complete.
But this shield was not. It now carried obvious artificial technological colors.
The shield was not large and could be worn completely as an arm shield. It was double-layered. The front area was slightly larger, and the back diater was about five centiters smaller than the front.
The inner layer was an irregular arc. Besides an adjustable clasp that could be held or hung, several other places were clearly ant to serve as the base and activation chanism for the part sandwiched between the inner and outer layers.
Jikesu knew just by touching the outer layer that it was 'Wuzai Iron', but after treatnt, it had solved the tal's lack of toughness, greatly improving its frontal defensive capability.
The focus of the shield was naturally in the interlayer.
Ye Zhongming demonstrated it for Jikesu. The interlayer mainly had three functions.
One feature was that, when needed, a circle of tal approximately ten centiters wide could extend from the interlayer to increase the shield's defensive area. The second was that these extended tal pieces were actually arranged and combined as small curved blades. When only half of them extended, they beca a circle of energy-driven, scaled-down curved blades that could automatically rotate, causing sharp cutting damage.
And the last ability was that these curved tal blades, which ford a complete circle, could all fly out towards the target, becoming hidden weapons.
More valuable was that these tal blades had also been treated by Ye Zhongming, imbuing them with wind-attribute abilities that could enhance their flight speed and rotation speed.
Perhaps in the eyes of so master crafters, this shield wasn't much, but Jikesu sharply noticed that this should be an experintal product, and functionally, it was successful. If its sturdiness and durability could be proven, it would undoubtedly be an excellent piece.
Importantly, this piece of equipnt reflected that Ye Zhongming was integrating wheel technology with the manufacturing techniques of the cosmic races, and he seed to have found the correct thod.
This direction was universally recognized as correct by the cosmic races. Solely relying on wheel technology or the cosmic races' own technology would have various shortcomings and imperfections. Only the combination of the two was the mainstream direction.
Even the Taros Red Dwarves, known for their superb manufacturing craftsmanship, had to research in this direction, as could be seen from their eager cultivation of spokespeople.
It was just that their own technology was too advanced, so advanced that it could not only compete with wheel technology but also far surpass other manufacturing-skilled races.
Jikesu couldn't help but entertain a fantasy, feeling that this guy before him might really one day be able to dethrone the Taros Red Dwarves in terms of manufacturing.
Seeing Ye Zhongming perform like this, Jikesu was very excited. He used this shield as an example to explain to Ye Zhongming his understanding of equipnt creation that he had developed over the years. This gave Ye Zhongming, who was new to the area, a sudden feeling of enlightennt.
Before, even if Jikesu had explained it to him, he wouldn't have understood, as he had no contact with the knowledge of the cosmic races. Now, with a foundation, Ye Zhongming found it increasingly useful the more he listened.
The two talked all night. In the morning, Ye Zhongming left with a deeper understanding of what Jikesu had imparted to him.
Ye Zhongming had to leave because he had an appointnt to attend to today.
Assault Camp.
Seventy soldiers were ready, each feeling apprehensive and nervous.
Today, they were going out to execute a mission, a real mission.
Not an exercise!
But up to now, they still didn't know what mission they were to execute.
Shi Yong, as the Assault Camp leader selected by Ye Zhongming, and Ou Chong, who had just arrived not long ago but had convinced everyone to beco the deputy leader, also knew nothing.
Ye Zhongming slowly walked in, dressed in military attire.
Everyone's hearts jumped.
Even the boss was like this; clearly, this was a mission that required 'fighting'.
"Shi Yong, Ou Chong."
The two, hearing their nas called, imdiately stepped forward.
"From now until noon, you must use various thods to leave the Star-Eye Clan, then leave Darkstrip City secretly. Before nightfall, you must reach this location to assemble."
Ye Zhongming handed the two a piece of paper with a place na written on it and a simple map below.
"Rembered?" Ye Zhongming asked.
The two looked at the paper again and both nodded, indicating they rembered.
Ye Zhongming took it back and, in front of everyone, burned the paper.
"Rember, this operation must be completely confidential. You must not only hide it from people within the clan but also must not be discovered by people in Darkstrip City. I repeat, if discovered by people within the clan, imdiately open the communication channel and report to . The communication password is the one we determined during training. But if, by any chance, you are discovered by other races in Darkstrip City, then this operation is imdiately canceled, and everyone returns to the clan. Is that all clear?"
Everyone was even more baffled now, but the training during this phase had an effect. Not a single person objected; all loudly replied that they understood.
"Good, I will be waiting for you there!" Ye Zhongming said finally.
………………………………
The two clan leaders and Aslan, the family of three, sat at the table for dinner. This was quite rare. The two clan leaders worked tirelessly for the Star-Eye Clan and were usually very busy. Aslan was also busy with training, so such opportunities were few.
Clan Leader Xing suddenly glanced at the ti and said, "It should be about ti, right?"
Clan Leader Yan nodded, "Barring accidents, it should have started now."
Aslan looked at her parents, completely confused.
"Daughter, sotis I really don't know if Ye Zhongming's appearance is an antidote or a death warrant for us."
Clan Leader Xing suddenly expressed such sentint. After pausing for a few seconds, he added: "But I know that, whether the Star-Eye Clan exists or not, this person will beco a hegemon."
"Because he dares to do...Crazy things that we wouldn't even think of."
