Lu Yin smiled. "Of course not. I'd like to ask Aurora Cosmos to help me mass-produce this universal armor. The price is negotiable, so feel free to name it."
Before Zhi Dong could reply, Biao Zi tossed the blueprint to him. "It's already bad enough that someone is researching universal armor, but Alliance Head Lu wants to mass-produce it?
Don't you know that there's no point in producing something like this? Universal armor is just for ordinary people to wear while mining on planets. It's unrealistic to expect it to be used in battle. Even a Limiteer wearing universal armor can't defeat an Explorer.
"Even if that Limiteer is a genius and can challenge those of a higher realm, how many of them are there?
It's meaningless. A normal set of universal armor only costs ten star crystals, but your set costs tens of thousands of star crystals. That's not a normal amount of money. "
Lu Yin asked, "If I say that I need better materials and incorporate some other components, how much can it cost?"
Biao Zi did some calculations and rolled his eyes. "That depends on what you incorporate. Let's just say it's ten times more expensive."
"That means that the cost of a set of universal armor is one star essence, right?" Lu Yin asked.
Zhi Dong was curious. "Alliance Head Lu, are you really going to make it?"
Lu Yin nodded. "It's very difficult for cultivators below the Explorer realm to play a role in a high-end battlefield. If I can rely on this universal armor to raise a Limiteer's strength to the level of an Explorer, then it's worth the price."
"Impossible," Biao Zi retorted. "A Limiteer challenging an Explorer?
Unless that cultivator is a genius, then even if the universal armor can increase their overall speed, they won't be able to adapt to that speed. Escaping will be a problem, let alone fighting. "
"Elder Biao," Zhi Dong growled unhappily. It was fine if Biao Zi refuted Lu Yin's words once or twice, but if it happened too many times, Zhi Dong would be dissatisfied.
Lu Yin did not mind, as the chief consultant was right. Under normal circumstances, even a Limiteer wearing the new universal armor would not be able to challenge an Explorer. However, if the smoke from the Smokescreen Mountain Range and the fusion microarray technology were added, then things would be different.
Half of a battle depended on the cultivator's own strength, while the other half depended on equipment.
This was equivalent to using equipment to raise a normal cultivator into a genius who could challenge an Explorer. Lu Yin himself was such a genius, so he had his own standards.
Not long after, Lu Yin shared his thoughts with Chairman Zhi and the other higher-ups of Aurora Cosmos, asking them to think of a way to integrate the smoke into the Smoke Gulping Mountain Range.
Zhi Dong sighed. "Alliance Leader Lu was actually able to obtain a large amount of that peculiar smoke from the Smoke Gulping Mountain Range.
Smoke Ingesting Mountain Range had always been selling that type of smoke to the outside world. It could indeed save one's life during critical moments, but it was sold in very small quantities. Lu Yin was able to obtain it in bulk, which made Zhi Dong sigh in admiration at his influence.
Lu Yin took out ten million star essence and handed it over to Chairman Zhi. "This is the down payment. I hope that your company can develop the new universal armor as soon as possible. I want to mass produce it, and there's no limit to how much it can produce."
Chairman Zhi took the money. "Don't worry, Alliance Master Lu. The Aurora Stronghold will accept this deal."
The Aurora Corporation was a commercial organization, and as long as there was money to be made, they would accept whatever research he did, even if it was lunchboxes.
It wasn't that Lu Yin hadn't thought of letting Ban Jiu research it, but compared to the Aurora Corporation, Ban Jiu paled in comparison. No matter what, he was just an Outerverse cultivator, and no one knew what kind of talents the Aurora Corporation had.
Especially since many of their technologies came from ancient times.
Most importantly, he had no time to waste.
。
Wan Gong turned on the light and lay down on his bed, exhausted. He was in a sealed room with no windows, so he couldn't see the outside world. His gadget couldn't receive any information from the outside world either.
He was isolated from the outside world, and there were many others like him.
They were all in the Aurora Corporation's core microarray technology department.
A soft voice sounded from outside the door. "Come in."
Two women entered. One of them was extremely beautiful and young, and she had a bashful smile on her face. The other was the complete opposite. She wore revealing clothes, had a sexy figure, and had a seductive gaze.
Wan Gong swallowed his saliva.
Here, he could enjoy everything that he had never been able to before. As long as he asked, the Aurora Corporation would agree, and the only condition was that he couldn't interact with the outside world.
Two hours later, the two women left. Wan Gong was even more exhausted now, but he was still in high spirits.
Someone else entered, bringing all sorts of delicacies. Wan Gong was indeed hungry, and he started eating.
"You've been doing well," a calm voice said from behind him.
Wan Gong's expression changed, and he turned around to see a familiar face. The meat in his mouth fell out, and he hurriedly stood up. "Lu- Alliance Leader Lu?"
Lu Yin looked at the delicacies behind Wan Gong. "These are all rare ingredients. Do you know that this meal is equivalent to an Explorer's annual income?"
Wan Gong hurriedly wiped his mouth and bitterly said, "Alliance Leader Lu, I'd rather not enjoy this. Ever since I returned to the microarray department, I've been isolated from the outside world. Previously, I could still occasionally contact the outside world and send messages to the directors, but with the breakthrough in technology, I can't contact them anymore. I've had enough of these days, and I haven't seen my son in a long time. Alliance Leader Lu, can you help me out and let me out?"
Lu Yin looked at him. "How's the microarray research going?"
Wan Gong replied, "It's been successful."
Lu Yin's eyes went wide. "You've succeeded?"
Wan Gong nodded. "The technology has been successful, but there are no materials that can withstand it. No matter how hard a metal is, it can't stabilize the energy form. If the metal isn't hard enough, it will shatter, and if it's too hard, it will hinder the energy's eruption. It's very difficult to find a material that can withstand the energy's eruption without hindering it."
"Alliance Master Lu, can I have a look at the template you showed me back then?"
Lu Yin took out the Sky-Splitting Array.
Wan Gong hurriedly took it and carefully touched it. After a long time, he shook his head. "I can't find this material, and I've never seen it before. Actually, after the technology was solved, the entire Aurora Corporation searched for this material. My daily job is to experiment with various materials, but I still haven't found anything suitable."
"Try this." Lu Yin took out a piece of tree bark and tossed it to Wan Gong. It was the bark of the mother tree.
Wan Gong's eyes lit up. "This material?
It feels … "He touched the Sky-Splitting Array and looked at Lu Yin in pleasant surprise." It's very similar. "
"Try it," Lu Yin said.
Wan Gong hurriedly ran off to test it.
As long as he didn't leave, Wan Gong was the leader of the microarray department, and no one could interfere with him.
With the Second Nightking's help, even a powerhouse with a power level of a million wouldn't be able to detect Lu Yin's movements.
Half a day later, Wan Gong carefully picked up a microarray that used tree bark as the core material. "Alliance Leader, what battle technique are you trying to compress?"
Lu Yin asked, "What kind of battle technique can it contain?"
"Since it's just research, the Jieyuan Array Master is very powerful.
The sourcebox array he set up is only strong enough to contain an Explorer's power. "
The Jieyuan Array Master should be the powerhouse with a power level of a million hidden within the Aurora Fort.
Lu Yin didn't care about someone with a power level of a million since the Second Nightking could easily suppress them. However, the Jieyuan Array Master's identity was different. It would be difficult for others to find out what this person had set up in the Aurora Fort.
Lu Yin had almost forgotten that the Jieyuan Array Master was still here.
Lu Yin raised a hand and casually waved his hand. The First Sword of the Thirteen Swords swept past the microarray and disappeared.
Wan Gong took a deep breath and released the sword in front of him.
A ray of sword qi swept through the void.
"We did it, we did it!" Wan Gong was so excited that he forgot himself. "We finally did it!" He looked at Lu Yin excitedly. "Alliance Leader, we did it! We did it!"
Lu Yin's lips curled up, and his eyes lit up like never before. Had they finally succeeded?
He could imagine tens of thousands of soldiers wearing the new universal armor and protected by white smoke as they released attacks from the microarray. Who could imagine tens of thousands of Enlighter attacks sealed within microarrays?
Not even the Astral Tree Society dared to imagine such a thing. They had many experts, but they couldn't gather tens of thousands of Enlighters at once.
What a spectacular scene it would be.
Tens of thousands?
A hundred thousand?
Or even a million?
It wasn't impossible for humans to resist the Eternals, but what was humanity's greatest advantage?
Intelligence. Only with intelligence could there be creation.
Microarray technology, new universal armor, white smoke, and other things could be added, such as poison.
The more Lu Yin thought about it, the more excited he became. It was as if he had created a new era.
If attacks could be contained within microarrays, then what about other things?
Previously, he had the Aeon Evolution True Scripture, which could create something out of nothing. Now, with microarray technology, he could bring about a revolution for the entire human race.
Lu Yin pressed down on the excited Wan Gong and stared at him. "You've created a new era."
Wan Gong's eyes widened and narrowed. "A new era?"
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "Work hard. Humanity's future is beautiful, and this universe will eventually belong to us humans. With our intelligence, we can create anything and defeat all powerful enemies."
Wan Gong nodded, but then, he suddenly remembered something and half-knelt. "Thank you, Alliance Leader. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to create a new era."
Lu Yin helped Wan Gong up, as it was time for him to lay his cards on the table with Chairman Zhi.
Microarray technology didn't just belong to the Aurora Corporation; it belonged to the entire human race. Lu Yin wanted to popularize this technology and truly create a new era, one that would leave his name behind.
However, even though this technology had been developed, there were still many problems that needed to be solved. The first problem was the lack of materials.
Lu Yin didn't have much of the Mother Tree's bark, and even though a microarray didn't consume much bark, it was only enough to create a hundred microarrays. He had to find a way to find more bark.
Also, a microarray could only hold four attacks at most. What would he do once it was released?
He hadn't considered this problem before.
Lu Yin raised this issue with Wan Gong.
Wan Gong replied, "We just need to erase all traces of the previous array and ask Sir Formation Master Jieyuan to rearrange it. Unless the microarray materials are damaged, it can be reused."
Lu Yin asked a few more questions about microarray technology before finally asking, "Have you found out anything about the relationship between the Aurora Corporation and the Sirius Sect?"
