Faced with Qi Yuan's unexpected rejection, Qu Shi once again fell silent. Persuading someone like this was the limit of what he could do.
From Qi Yuan's calm eyes and tone, Qu Shi could also feel his determination.
"Since you insist, then try the final construction of Doomsday Strike. With your control of the energy intensity and the help of Luan and I, you should have a 20% chance of success." Qu Shi said slowly.
Qi Yuan's eyes were filled with astonishment.
"I still have more than 2000 energy nodes in the Energy Cube that have not been sorted out and restored. Isn't a 20% success rate too low?"
"20% is already my optimistic judgment … Wait, what did you just say?
How many energy nodes in the Energy Cube have not been sorted out and restored? "
Qu Shi stared at Qi Yuan as if he could not believe his ears.
"More than 2000 nodes have not been completed. If you wait for two more days, I should be able to completely sort them out and restore them."
Qi Yuan said somewhat embarrassedly, "From beginning to end, I have already spent more than 20 days to sort them out to this extent. It is indeed too difficult."
"You mean you have already sorted out and restored more than 30,000 energy nodes?" Qu Shi's voice trembled.
Qi Yuan nodded.
"Go and take it to my personal studio!"
Qu Shi could not wait to confirm the authenticity of this matter.
"Wait a moment!"
Luan looked at this scene thoughtfully. When Qi Yuan turned and left to get the Energy Cube, she lowered her voice and asked,
"Did Qi Yuan do something amazing?"
After seeing Qi Yuan's strength in combat, Luan felt that if Qi Yuan did something amazing in Qu Shi's studio, she would not be too surprised.
"No!" Qu Shi quickly returned to his cold expression.
"I was able to sort out and restore the Energy Cube in three days, but he took nearly 20 days. For a researcher, this is nothing. Of course, for Qi Yuan, this speed is not bad!"
Luan looked suspiciously at Qu Shi. Although she didn't know what the Rubik's Cube was, her woman's intuition told her that this old man seemed to be lying. Moreover, his heartbeat was obviously faster than before.
Seeing Qu Shi's cold expression, Luan did not continue to ask. Instead, she went with Qu Shi to his personal studio.
The old man still cared about his face!
Soon, Qi Yuan walked in with a nearly restored Energy Cube. The six different colors were no longer messy. Most of the colors were uniform, only a few places were mixed with other colors....
It was really close to restoration!
Master Qu couldn't believe his eyes!
This was the third grade of 32768 energy nodes! This was the third grade of the Tier 3 Researcher test! How could he possibly accomplish such a feat?!
Can't!
I can't panic. I can't let him know that the Energy Cube I spent five days restoring is only the first stage!
I am the leader of this studio!
I am the best researcher in the Iron Chariots!
I can't lose face at this time!
Qu Shi's heart was in turmoil, but his expression did not change.
"Sort it out and restore it here. I will see if your method is correct!"
Qi Yuan held the Energy Cube and nodded.
Energy Control and Area Detection were activated at the same time. Soon, Qi Yuan entered God's View Override mode.
One by one, the dislocated energy nodes were moved and restored. The messy colors on the Energy Cube gradually disappeared.
Qu Shi's eyes widened. Looking at the Energy Cube in Qi Yuan's hand, he felt as if he could hear his own heart roaring.
How could he do it so easily!
Not only did he not make any mistakes, but he also sorted it out and restored it so quickly. On average, it took him less than ten seconds to restore the position of each energy node!
This was the test of a third stage researcher!
He was only a rookie who had studied energy for less than a month!
A first stage rookie!
Qu Shi felt that his worldview had been completely destroyed. He began to wonder if he was dreaming. He pinched his thigh with his right hand, but it hurt so much that the corner of his mouth twitched.
Seeing that Qi Yuan was gradually getting into the zone and sorting out and restoring the Energy Cube faster and faster, Qu Shi finally could not help but cough.
"Okay!
It's done! "
After Qi Yuan stopped, Qu Shi nodded slightly to show his approval.
"Although it took a long time, you are barely at my level. If you continue to work hard, you don't even need five years. Three years, no!
In two years, I can definitely get you into the Biological and Mechanical Laboratory! "
Qu Shi looked at Qi Yuan again. He did not continue speaking, but his eyes were very clear. If you are with me, you can get into the Biological and Mechanical Laboratory in two years. Do you want to think about it again?
Qi Yuan coughed and pretended not to understand Qu Shi's eyes. He quickly changed the topic.
"Is it time to build the energy matrix of Doomsday Strike?"
Qu Shi sighed again and did not dwell on this matter. He slowly said, "Let's begin."
Qu Shi pressed a button and the lights in the room went out. The blue projection of Doomsday Strike was enlarged and appeared in the middle of the room.
"The main part of Doomsday Strike has been completed. What we need to do now is to build this part of the energy matrix."
Qu Shi circled the dim energy nodes.
"This energy matrix has a total of 179 energy nodes. They must be placed in their respective positions to complete the construction."
Qu Shi looked at Qi Yuan.
"The intensity difference between these energy nodes is very small. The precision unit is 0.001 crystal. It is almost the same as the intensity difference between ten adjacent energy nodes in your Rubik's Energy Cube. Can you distinguish it?"
"No problem!" Qi Yuan nodded.
The intensity difference between the energy matrices of Doomsday Strike was the same as the intensity difference between ten adjacent energy nodes in the Rubik's Energy Cube. This meant that the difficulty of distinguishing it was reduced by ten times. It did not sound challenging at all.
Qu Shi enlarged the projection of the energy matrix. Then, with the energy node at the bottom as the origin, he constructed a three-dimensional coordinate map that covered all the energy nodes. He clearly displayed the positions of all the energy nodes in the form of coordinates in front of Qi Yuan.
"I have marked the intensity of each energy node. When outlining the energy matrix, the intensity difference cannot exceed 0.004 crystals. Otherwise, the energy fluctuation will destroy the entire energy matrix!"
"In addition to the intensity of the energy, the position of each node in the energy matrix must be very precise. The more precise it is, the greater the intensity of the energy matrix. A slight deviation in the position will weaken the intensity of the energy matrix. If the deviation exceeds 10 nanometers, the energy matrix will fail."
"Excluding the enhancement of the energy matrix, this Doomsday Strike's naked gun attack is slightly weaker than the Butcher. Its attack is around 25 points. The energy matrix that I have designed, under the most ideal conditions, can increase the attack power of Doomsday Strike by 27 points. In addition to the original attack power of Doomsday Strike, in theory, the maximum attack power of a naked gun can reach 52 points."
"If the energy matrix that you have constructed can increase the attack power of Doomsday Strike by half of the theoretical value, then it will be considered a success!"
Hearing the numbers that Qu Shi reported, not only was Qi Yuan stunned, but Luan was also shocked.
"This Doomsday Strike is so powerful?"
A naked gun attack of 52 points, not including the armor-piercing bullets and Qi Yuan's ability buff, this gun could easily destroy most aptitude users without Tier 2 Defense Enhancement.
With the armor-piercing bullets, the attack power would be close to 70 points. Even a Tier 2 Defense Enhancement user would only need one shot to kill them.
In addition to Qi Yuan's ability buff, the attack power could even exceed 100 points. Not many Tier 3 aptitude users could withstand such a powerful attack.
This meant that in theory, Doomsday Strike's attack power would reach the highest level. Once the special bullets and Qi Yuan's ability buff were added, its power would even surpass her Steel Rose!
This was simply a miracle!
"This is only the theoretical attack power. Even if Doomsday Strike is successfully constructed, it can't reach this theoretical number. If the attack power of a naked gun can exceed 40 points, it would already be considered good!"
Qu Shi glanced at Qi Yuan.
"You must remember the positions of these energy nodes. If you remember one wrong, all of your efforts will be in vain!"
Qi Yuan nodded. Compared to the tens of thousands of energy nodes in the Tesseract, this energy matrix only had 179 energy nodes. The number seemed a lot less, but to remember the positions of these energy nodes was not an easy task. Just looking at the spatial coordinates in nanometers was enough to make one dizzy.
Fortunately, Qi Yuan's body had been strengthened many times. His memory had also improved a lot. Although he did not have a component computing hub, he could still barely remember the long list of spatial coordinates.
After memorizing a few spatial coordinates, Qi Yuan suddenly had an idea.
If he did not use these spatial coordinates, could he use Area Detection to accurately remember the relative positions of these energy nodes?
Qi Yuan rubbed his forehead and quietly activated Area Detection. He inadvertently used it on Luan.
In front of Area Detection, the entire world was transparent. There was almost nothing that could obstruct Area Detection's perception, including the clothes on the body.
Qi Yuan's breath suddenly stopped. Area Detection's perception clearly outlined the perfect body under the Luan's leather clothes.
Looking at those perfect curves, Qi Yuan subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
This — — if he was discovered, he would probably be beaten to death on the spot!
Qi Yuan nervously narrowed the area of Area Detection and locked it on the energy matrix. However, that fleeting glimpse of the image lingered for a long time.
Luan frowned slightly. Just a moment ago, she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She felt like she was being peeped at, as if someone had seen her naked.
Was it an illusion?
Luan frowned slightly. She glanced at Qu Shi who was staring at Qi Yuan without blinking. She then looked at Qi Yuan who was concentrating on memorizing the spatial coordinates. She then looked around and did not find anything unusual.
When Qi Yuan "saw" Luan's actions and her suspicious gaze, he almost jumped in fright.
Why was she so vigilant?
Qi Yuan did not dare to give himself away. After seeing that Luan did not follow up, he forcibly erased the image in his mind and began to use Area Detection to copy the coordinates of the energy nodes.
Luan and Qu Shi both quieted down and did not disturb Qi Yuan's memory.
After focusing all of Area Detection's perception on this area of the energy nodes, Qi Yuan once again entered God's View. He observed the position of every energy node without any blind spots. All the details of this space were recorded in his memory like a picture.
After a while, Qi Yuan retracted Area Detection and said, "I've memorized it all."
Qu Shi nodded, took down Doomsday Striker, and handed it to Luan.
"You're a Mechanic. I'll leave Doomsday Striker to you. During the process of outlining the energy matrix, do not let the dissipated energy and the outlining energy overlap."
"No problem!"
Luan received Doomsday Strike and easily took control of it through the connection energy matrix hidden on her wrist.
Master Qu's gaze finally landed on Qi Yuan.
"You will guide the energy in and complete the outlining of the energy matrix!"
"This energy matrix must be completed in one go, so you only have one chance."
"I'm ready!"
Master Qu nodded and pressed one hand on a crystal ball on the workbench. Wisps of flame-like purple energy were instantly released from the crystal ball and dispersed around the Doomsday Striker.
"Begin outlining!" Master Qu shouted.
Qi Yuan's eyes focused, and he instantly activated Area Detection and Energy Control, entering God's View.
After sorting out and restoring the Tesseract countless times, Qi Yuan had long mastered this God's View. The dissipated purple flame-like energy was quickly controlled by Energy Control. Then, wisps of it entered the Doomsday Striker's body and began outlining the energy matrix.
Under God's View, Qi Yuan easily found the location of the first energy node. A wisp of purple energy slowly flowed into it, forming the first node of the energy matrix.
Qu Shi, who had been slightly worried, saw Qi Yuan's skillful movements and gradually formed the energy node. His eyes glowed faintly.
When Qi Yuan completed the construction of the first energy node in less than two minutes, Qu Shi almost could not help but praise Qi Yuan.
His movements were smooth, and the energy was stable. Qi Yuan's control of energy was far better than he had imagined.
He was indeed a genius who could complete the Tier 3 Tesseract!
The successful outlining of the first energy node filled Qu Shi with confidence in Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan's eyes were as calm as water. Wisps of purple energy flowed slowly, lighting up the purple stars in the void.
The shock in Qu Shi's eyes grew stronger and stronger. He looked at the energy matrix that had troubled him for five whole years, and he didn't even dare to touch it. Now, it was slowly and firmly taking shape in the hands of a young man who had only studied energy for less than a month. For the first time, he felt that he might be old.
After an unknown period of time, when Qi Yuan successfully lit up the last purple star, a purple light instantly blossomed, like a strange violet flower.
Success!
Qu Shi suddenly clenched his fists!
