Inside the astronomical observatory.
Gu Junxiu unfolded a piece of paper, "This is the translated ssage from the other side, please have a look, Patriarch."
These characters...
They are all Central Earth script.
Gu Junxiu couldn’t understand them; he was only responsible for translating and recording.
As he displayed this information, he added, "Patriarch, I have also made so progress in searching for the specific frequency of the opposite signal, and now, we might already be capable of real-ti communication."
"Real-ti communication?"
Gu Jinlai was sowhat surprised.
The progress was so fast.
But that made sense, thinking about it.
After all, everyone was using the sa communication codes, the sa translation thods, and even the sa software for image synthesis, so this kind of progress was within reason.
Gu Jinlai looked over the translated text.
"Greetings, Qian Star people. I wonder if our data has been of any help in repairing your spaceship? If you have any doubts about the data, or if there is an issue during the data integration process, you can send over the new data."
"To ensure that no errors occur during the process, please send the complete data including the repair progress."
Gu Jinlai felt sowhat troubled as he read these two sections of text.
The complete data on the repair process?
He didn’t even have a spaceship to repair, so naturally, he had no data to speak of.
This question was difficult to answer.
"I will contact the other side next," he said.
Gu Jinlai made a statent and then approached the control console.
After Gu Junxiu left, he couldn’t help but ponder how to respond.
The prestige of the aliens must be maintained.
However...
He planned to inquire next about a technology that could be applied imdiately and would resolve the current crisis.
This technology had to be in line with the principles of simple production and cost-effectiveness.
If it were too high-end technology, such as Laser Cannons or Ion Cannons, it would depend entirely on the Co-spirit and require a lot of ti.
Thinking of this, he paused in thought: "Laser Cannons won’t do. The damage caused by burning is negligible for Divinity Transformation Cultivators because almost all Divinity Transformation Cultivators wear top-grade, or even Supre Treasure Armor, the defensive power of which is equivalent to several hundred kilograms of Super Heavy Steel Armor."
Extraordinary Materials exist in this world, their properties akin to special alloys.
Spiritual Artifacts are often made from these Extraordinary Materials.
Gu Jinlai’s thoughts flowed, but he couldn’t co up with any good solutions.
Struggling for a reason to make a request to them and feeling helpless against the powerful show of force by the Divinity Transformation Cultivators.
"Divinity Transformation..."
Gu Jinlai closed his eyes, realizing that the strength displayed by the two Divinity Transformation mbers of the Cold Moon Demon Sect during the battle at Sunset City had cost him his usual calm.
For a mont, he forcefully cleared his mind of all distractions, calming himself down.
"If I can’t think of a solution, I might as well learn from the concepts of the predecessors."
With this thought, Gu Jinlai’s mind beca clearer.
All fear stems from a lack of firepower.
"So, rocket artillery that is slower than the speed of sound can be intercepted, but a flying sword’s interception range is only ten miles. Within these ten miles, it can intercept one or two, ten or twenty, but not a hundred, two hundred. If we then use trigger-head warheads, no matter how extraordinary the material of the flying sword, no matter how strong, in the process of destroying rockets, the flying sword will still suffer damage, and then..."
It will break down on its own.
Gu Jinlai opened his eyes.
His gaze was clear.
Not just rocket artillery, what about Short Range Defense Cannons?
The reason the performance of the two Divinity Transformation beings at the battle of Sunset City had put so much pressure on him was because there were too few Short Range Defense Cannons.
If he had ten, twenty, thirty Short Range Defense Cannons, not to ntion two Divinity Transformation beings, even if the whole Cold Moon Demon Sect sent out all their Divinity Transformation beings, what would there be to fear!?
"In the past year or so, it’s still too early for the Military Workshop to produce Short Range Defense Cannons, but producing rocket artillery... or even to lower our aims, producing cannons is already within our capabilities. Any flaws I can completely compensate for with the Heavenly Masters who have pledged their allegiance to ."
To think of killing a Divinity Transformation Cultivator with a cannon is a fool’s dream.
But if dozens or hundreds of cannons conducted covering fire from tens of kiloters away...
Annihilating a Divinity Transformation being is not an extravagant hope.
When poor, intersperse tactics; when rich, cover with firepower.
Of course, the real power of Divinity Transformation Cultivators lies in their ghostly assassination abilities.
But, in terms of assassination...
The defense of Short Range Defense Cannons is enough.
Furthermore...
He himself was also growing stronger constantly, and one day he would be strong enough to withstand being targeted by flying swords head-on.
"So, focusing on the traits of Divinity Transformation Cultivators, start with defense from Short Range Defense Cannons, then rely on the number advantage of cannons for covering counterattacks, and then, missiles... supersonic tracking missiles to target flying swords..."
Gu Jinlai thought and paused there.
Supersonic tracking missiles could target not only flying swords but also deter Primordial Spirit Monarchs.
Going further...
It would be Electromagnetic Cannons.
The direct trajectory of Electromagnetic Cannon fire is easy to dodge, but as long as the speed is fast enough, even strong Divinity Transformation Cultivators might not be able to react in ti.
Finally, it would be laser weapons powerful enough to penetrate Supre Treasure Armor.
After clarifying the goals, Gu Jinlai already knew what technology to ask for from the other side.
"Cannons? I have relevant data in my mind; I just need Qingguang to search for it, so the key is anti-air tracking missile technology... On Blue Star, the most advanced tracking missile... is the Sky Arrow? Its maximum speed can reach six tis the speed of sound?"
Although missiles are not as nimble as flying swords, a speed advantage of six tis...
was still worth a shot.
"The difficulty with hypersonic missiles lies in the materials and the fuel, materials..."
Gu Jinlai thought of the ’Black Gold’ material that Grandmaster Zong Heng, who had surrendered to him, had sent not too long ago.
This material...
had a lting point of over five thousand degrees.
Wouldn’t that be more than sufficient for a spacecraft engine?
As for the remaining fuel...
like gunpowder, it was realized through the Co-spirit.
"Wait, speaking of Black Gold that Zong Heng offered..."
Gu Jinlai’s eyes brightened.
Finally, there was sothing that could bolster his alien persona.
Blue Star wanted data?
No problem.
Gu Jinlai recalled the various properties of Black Gold in his mind, as well as his Co-spirit process.
Shortly, he produced a piece of paper and wrote down the Black Gold structural formula derived from Co-spirit in a way the Blue Star people could understand.
After writing, he went to the control console and began to reply.
"Your data... is completely inadequate, especially in terms of materials. However, I have improved the material entry for you. This is the data, please receive it."
After sending this ssage, Gu Jinlai imdiately started on a second ssage: "Additionally, the damage to the spaceship’s engine is very severe, and unfortunately, this part is a blind spot in my knowledge. I need more help from you... I find the rocket engine used in one of your Blue Star missiles sowhat familiar. Please prepare detailed information about it for ; perhaps it will help find a way to repair the spaceship engine through analogy."
Both ssages were quickly sent out.
...
On the other side,
Xie Yusheng had regained his passion for his own ga "Southern Heavenly Gate Chronicles" since sending the "Fighting Machine Xuan Nu" data to Gu Jinlai.
After all, he and his colleagues at the company had poured a lot of effort into this ga. Although releasing it in the current era dominated by fantasy could guarantee a loss, they couldn’t bear to see this nearly-finished product die in the womb.
Therefore, he had reassembled his planning team and was gradually perfecting the ga’s details with the ti they had left.
As for Gu Jinlai...
he was put on the back burner.
Had it not been for encountering difficulties with so data, Yusheng might not even have thought of sending out the ssage.
After sending the ssage, he didn’t hold out much hope.
They had been out of touch for several months, and he figured the other party had long seen through his little trick. So, he continued to work and slack off, working on the ga as usual.
"Beep beep beep!"
Suddenly, a signal at the familiar frequency arrived.
This event slightly startled Xie Yusheng.
"He responded?"
He moved his chair and approached the controls, swiftly translating the signal into text and images.
Before long, a set of data that seed...
quite ticulous appeared before him.
"Improved? For real?"
Xie Yusheng looked at the material data with a puzzled expression.
Instinctively, he thought the other party had wasted many resources on his ga data, and now sending this material data might be an act of revenge.
However...
"It does look rather convincing."
He pondered whether to send it to the materials science professor they consulted when creating "Southern Heavenly Gate Chronicles."
After a mont, he abandoned the idea.
Professor Du Dongyuan had helped them due to a favor from his great-granduncle, and it was better not to bother the old man over a trifle.
"Compared to the previous data, this new set seems much more credible. But that makes sense because if the person wants to spend energy on this material, the data they provided can’t be fake."
After examining it for a while, Xie Yusheng started to work: "Regardless, let’s enter it into the ga first. Many weapons in the ga could make use of this Black Gold – at the very least, it would look high-class."
After so work, he received the second ssage from Gu Jinlai.
"Sky Arrow Missile?"
Xie Yusheng was surprised. "He wants more? Didn’t he already see through my ruse? Why is he still asking to pass on data?"
He glanced at the new request and then at the Black Gold data sent by the "Qian Star person" ...
A hint of doubt crept into his mind.
Could it be that...
After a while, he shook his head.
He dismissed the possibility as entirely unlikely.
"I guess he’s playing mind gas with ."
Xie Yusheng looked at the request and quickly ca up with an idea, pulling up a chat record with a ga planner.
Soon, data for a brand-new, high-speed missile appeared before him.
"There you go, Heavenly Sword Missile. The data we replicated from the air show and then enhanced – no wait, improved, with a more advanced power layout for a future missile. It’s only one character off from Sky Arrow, and even the pronunciation is the sa, so it should et your needs."
With a satisfied smile, Xie Yusheng clicked ’send’.
