Chapter 460: A Game of Spears and Shields

It's always easier to destroy than to build.

"Wind and Rain and Stars" is a rewrite of the wind and rain for the only child as a robbery textbook, naturally it will not involve too profound and mysterious theories, as long as you master all kinds of intricate phenomena.

For Li Yao, who has a relatively weak theoretical foundation for starships, this "Wind and Rain Stars" is more suitable for him than the sixth weight of the "Starship Maintenance Manual".

In the next few days, after completing the cleaning of the ruins, Li Yao worked tirelessly and devoted most of his time to the research of "Wind and Rain and Stars".

As hundreds of starship structures were imprinted into his mind, he also learned thousands of tactics for sabotaging and infiltrating starships.

Later, he even came up with a very fun mind training game that blended destruction and repair.

Li Yao divided his divine thoughts into two parts, each of which controlled considerable computing power.

Some of them put themselves in the shoes of the Starship Guardians, using what they learned in the Starship Maintenance Manual to repair the starship as much as possible.

The other part of the divine mind pretended to be an attacker, and did everything possible to destroy the starship in the shortest possible time and break through to the interior.

With the spear of the son and the shield of the attacker, this kind of "cannibalistic" thinking game makes Li Yao tired of it and intoxicated.

Each different type of starship is a new "game map".

In just five days, Li Yao has played 34 "maps" in a row.

Most of the time, it was the "attacking" side that won and successfully destroyed the virtual fantasy starship in his mind.

However, as the game gets deeper and deeper, his understanding of the structure of various starships is getting deeper and deeper, and gradually, he can even repair it frantically under the "indiscriminate bombardment". Hold the starship within the allotted time.

Immersed in this fun game, Li Yao completely forgot that time passed quickly.

Before he knew it, he had been in the wreckage of the Hellside for seven days.

And the Golden Horn also sailed into the depths of the sea of stars and entered the cruising state.

……

For every refiner on the Golden Horn, the last seven days were worse than death.

Master Xiong Tao's mood seemed to be getting worse every second.

The bloodshot bull's eyes had obviously widened to the limit. But after discovering a few small faults in the magic weapon, there is always a way to make it a little bigger.

It's like two nail guns, constantly spraying nails engraved with frozen talismans, shooting all the refiners and maintenance workers into a thousand holes.

In the first few days, the old man would occasionally lash out and scold, but everyone felt a little better at that time.

But in recent days, after several major problems with the starship and the scrapping of two extremely important magic weapon units. The old man's chapped lips were simply closed forever, and at a rate visible to the naked eye, he was losing weight every day, as if his essence and blood had been sucked dry by the Golden Horn.

In case of any failure, he always didn't say a word, and stared at the relevant person in charge with the pair of bull's eyes that were about to burst out of his eyes.

All the refiners who had been stared at like this by the old man gathered together. It is always the congregation that says it is better to be targeted like this. They would rather put on the repair crystal armor and go to the cold and dark starship to repair the shell for three to five days.

Xiong Tao was anxious.

The condition of the Golden Horn was much worse than expected.

As soon as I set off, I encountered several serious breakdowns and consumed a lot of repair spare parts. There is very little stock left.

There is a long road ahead, and there are several very dangerous passages, and nebula storms and gravel belts are almost inevitable.

The thought of carrying such a crumbling ship and breaking into the most terrifying gravel belts in the Star Realm made Xiong Tao feel his scalp tingle. Be on hot coals.

They don't have a choice, though.

To get back to the central star field by the safest route, you have to travel three times the distance, crossing seven more fragmented worlds and five more star fields.

And these places are relatively barren, and some fragmented worlds are deserted, and it is impossible to obtain large supplies.

If you want to get back to the hinterland of the Flying Star Realm before you run out of supplies, you can only take shortcuts that are shorter but more dangerous.

In desperation, Xiong Tao thought of the newcomers on the wreckage of the Ghost Prison.

These newcomers are either apprentices who have been trained by the Great Horned Armor Regiment themselves, and are relatively young and inexperienced.

Either they are recruited in Xingjun Temple, have some maintenance experience, but have not received professional training, and do not know the details of the private maintenance engineers.

Xiong Tao arranged for them to clean up the wreckage and collect supplies, not because he didn't believe these people, but because he wanted to know more about their character and strength.

Xiong Tao has always felt that through this kind of basic work, he can best see the essence of a refiner.

Whether it is impatient or procrastinating, careless or careful, and even what kind of work is suitable for engagement, can be seen from a small magic weapon component cleaning.

In a week, these newcomers have probably cleaned up a large number of magic weapon components, and they should be able to see a lot of things.

If some of them really have potential, Xiong Tao will not hesitate to give them more important work.

After all, there is a shortage of people in the various maintenance positions of the Golden Horn now!

Thinking of this, Xiong Tao gathered several senior refiners under his command together, and ordered the material transportation pipeline of the Golden Horn to make the first connection with the Ghost Prison to carry out the transmission of magic weapon components!

Half an hour later, from the tail of the Golden Horn, a folding hose with a diameter of more than ten meters stretched out, gradually unfolded, and extended to the front end of the Ghost Prison in the rear, under the attraction of crystal magnetism, like a huge mouthpiece, firmly attached to the bow of the Ghost Prison.

Several refiners wore maintenance crystal armor, and through the fully sealed material delivery pipe, they directly dismantled the shell of the Ghost Hell and installed a movable gate that could open and close automatically.

The material transmission channel was completed.

An hour later, the storage boxes of standard magic weapon components were transported to the main maintenance workshop of the Golden Horn through the material transmission channel.

Xiong Tao and four senior refiners opened boxes of magic weapon components for analysis and evaluation.

"The first two boxes are the magic weapon components cleaned up by 'Lan An', yes, he has cleaned up a total of more than 37,500 magic weapon components from the living area of the Ghost Prison. There are a lot of quantities, and the quality is quite good, with few flaws. ”

"Lan An is an apprentice trained by our armor regiment itself, right? I remember that he also awakened the spiritual root, which is the third layer of the Qi refining stage. ”

"He's got a good talent, but he's a little bit informal, you see. The corners of these runes were still stained with some stains, which had not been cleaned up. ”

"However, the maintenance of the common magic weapon in the living area can still be competent, so he will be responsible for the living area, and he can be transferred to take charge of more important positions."

Xiong Tao rolled up hundreds of magic weapon components from the pile of components, glanced at them slightly, and came to a conclusion.

The rest of the senior refiners had no objections. Including the instructor of the apprentice "Lan An", everyone was convinced and thought that Master Xiong Tao had made the most correct arrangement.

"Miao Fei, who is in charge of cleaning up the artillery area of the Ghost Prison No. 1 to No. 4, is our newly recruited refiner in the Xingjun Temple, he is eighty-eight years old this year and has a lot of experience."

"Looking at the magic weapon components he cleaned up, he was meticulous, and he couldn't find the slightest traces and flaws of the explosion. There is no need to deal with it, and it can be directly applied to the magic weapon. Not bad indeed. ”

"However, in a week, he only cleared out more than 17,300 magic weapon components, which is a little slower, it seems that this refiner's style is slow and methodical, and he takes the route of excellence."

"I think I can let him maintain the artificial gravity system, which is located in the middle of the starship anyway. Generally, there will be no unexpected situations, and the most important thing is to be careful, and the requirements for improvisation are not high. ”

It only took half an hour, Xiong Tao divided five by two, and assigned dozens of newcomers to suitable jobs. As a result, a group of experienced and skilled senior refiners were dispatched, and they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Next, there are the last three newcomers.

However, the magic weapon components collected by a newcomer later made Xiong Tao stunned for a moment, and his brush-like eyebrows were deeply gathered.

"Li Yao, who was in charge of cleaning up the cultivation area of the Ghost Prison, actually collected 137,455 magic weapon components?"

"What a joke!"

After the magic weapon components were found from the wreckage, most of them were in tatters, their strength and hardness were greatly reduced, and some of the exterior was severely eroded by acid and explosions, and they needed to be carefully polished before they could be used.

A person's energy is limited, and it always takes a lot of time and effort to carefully clean up a magic weapon component.

There is only one possibility to clean up more than 100,000 magic weapon components in just one week, that is, this Li Yao did not carefully clean up each magic weapon component at all, and even did not carefully distinguish the quality of the magic weapon components.

Xiong Tao remembered this young man named "Li Yao".

His first impression of the young man was not very good.

He always felt that the most important quality for a refiner was to be down-to-earth and seek truth from facts.

This young man "Li Yao" may really have some talent and have had some adventures, but he kept saying that he was a maintenance master, but he didn't even know the simplest star touron, which suddenly made Xiong Tao feel that this young man was a little empty and fluttering was not real enough.

However, at that time, there was a serious shortage of manpower, and this young man's hand speed was indeed very fast, and he also awakened the spiritual root, and he was indeed a cultivator, so Xiong Tao left him behind.

After that, he specially asked Bai Xingxing to inspire this young man, and also lent Li Yao his starship maintenance manual to study, just to give him another chance to release his potential as much as possible.

Maybe he really has a talent for maintenance, but he has been wandering in the backwoods and has been abandoned.

If it was really a manufacturable material, Xiong Tao couldn't bear to let him continue to waste his talents.

Unexpectedly, this Li Yao is still so impetuous!

He probably thought that the more magic weapon components he cleared, the more he could prove his strength, right? O young man!

Xiong Tao sighed, suppressed a trace of disappointment, and opened Li Yao's magic weapon component box. (To be continued......)
