Chapter 348 Sky Anchor!
"It followed us out?"
Qin Xiao's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
Sitting in the car on the way back, Zhang Yan's phone finally returned to normal. He didn't contact Guan Xing immediately, but instead sent a safety message to Nie Qingcheng first.
This time it was sent successfully.
Nie Qingcheng only replied with two words.
"go home."
Zhang Yan looked at it for two seconds before calling Qin Xiao.
"The footprints disappeared at the mouth of the valley."
"What does 'disappeared' mean? Did it fly away? Burrow underground? Or did you just miss it?"
"The system didn't detect it, and there's no heat map either."
Qin Xiao fell silent for a moment.
"Brother Yan, isn't this thing a familiar?"
"No. The Heart of Heaven's Craftsmanship is not responding."
"That's even stranger."
Zhang Yan did not deny it.
The thing in Broken Cloud Valley gave him a very special feeling.
It's not hostility.
It wasn't the oppression of a wild beast pouncing on its prey.
It's more like stalking.
confirm.
It was delivered all the way to the valley entrance, only to disappear just before his system was restored.
This is unlike any ordinary animal.
But that's not the current goal.
Zhang Yan placed Feng Xiyu's backpack at his feet: "Have someone keep watch around the perimeter of Duan Yun Valley, and don't let anyone enter the valley. All electronic devices are unreliable, and people shouldn't get too close either."
"clear."
"Have we arrived for stargazing yet?"
"She's already waiting for you on the third basement level." Qin Xiao paused. "She brought three suitcases, all filled with old things. My sister-in-law has also sent people to cordon off the area around the lab, saying that no unauthorized personnel are allowed to approach today."
"Um."
"Brother Yan."
"explain."
"My sister-in-law asked me to pass on a message."
Zhang Yan had already guessed that it wasn't anything nice.
Qin Xiao coughed and said, "She said that if you don't go home first when you return to Jinghai, she will personally go to Tianji Security to intercept you."
Zhang Yan glanced at the time.
The observation anchor is important.
But Nie Qingcheng is more important.
"Let's go back to the villa first."
Qin Xiao was delighted.
"Understand."
It was already late at night when Zhang Yan arrived in Jinghai.
The moment the car stopped, the villa gate opened.
Nie Qingcheng stood at the door, wearing a coat, without asking Feng Xiyu or Duan Yungu.
She looked at him first.
Check it from head to toe.
Zhang Yan put down his backpack: "I'm not hurt."
Nie Qingcheng walked over, reached out and pressed his shoulder and arm to make sure he wasn't just being stubborn, before pulling him inside.
"Have a meal."
"Stargazing is waiting."
"She can wait."
Zhang Yan did not refute.
On the table was a simple bowl of hot soup and rice.
He ate quickly, but not perfunctorily.
Nie Qingcheng sat opposite her, tapping her fingers on the table: "We'll talk about Duan Yun Valley when we get back."
"Um."
"Don't let Guantiange touch the Wind Breath Jade ore."
Zhang Yan looked up at her.
Nie Qingcheng said in a calm tone: "They searched for two hundred years and couldn't find it, and now you've brought back a whole bag of it. Human nature can't withstand this kind of test."
Zhang Yan nodded.
He hadn't originally intended for the stargazer to have a one-on-one encounter.
Half an hour later, the laboratory on the third basement level was put into its highest level of lockdown mode.
The stargazer stood in front of the worktable.
She saw the Wind-Breathing Jade that Zhang Yan took out, and her gaze lingered on it for a long time.
That's not greed.
But he is very fixated on it.
Zhang Yan placed the backpack on his side: "How many can I make?"
The stargazer turned his gaze away.
"If the purity matches the record from Duan Yun Valley, three pieces."
"Make three."
"You're not keeping the raw ore?"
"We'll talk about it after we've finished."
Guan Xing did not refute, and took out an old notebook from the box.
The cover of the letter had darkened, and inside were ancient Chinese characters, interspersed with runes that Zhang Yan had seen before.
The system begins parsing.
It's very slow.
Guan Xing projected a structural diagram onto the light screen: "The Guantian Anchor has three layers. The outer layer is a mechanically stable structure, the middle layer is the Wind Breath Jade time delay ring, and the inner layer is the trigger core."
Zhang Yan glanced at it.
"I'll do the outer layer."
"I'll arrange the middle management."
"What about the inner layer?"
Guan Xing paused for a moment.
Zhang Yan looked at her.
She didn't beat around the bush: "There's a problem."
He knew it.
Guan Xing flipped to the back of the notebook and pointed to a fragment of text.
"The ancient Sky-Gazing Anchors were automatically triggered, requiring a kind of consciousness catalyst. The Sky-Gazing Pavilion currently lacks one."
"An alternative?"
"Start manually."
Zhang Yan remained silent.
The stargazer continued, "The initiator must remain near the anchor point and compress their own consciousness frequency into the trigger core. When the energy is released, the impact will pass directly through the nervous system."
Zhang Yan understood.
"Thirty-seven people from eight hundred years ago."
"That's how they died."
The lab was silent for two seconds.
Qin Xiao's expression changed upon hearing this.
"Isn't this playing with people's lives like a switch?"
Guan Xing did not refute.
"There was no other way back then."
Zhang Yan looked at the structural diagram.
five minutes.
He didn't speak.
In his mind, he had already disassembled the structure of the Sky-Observing Anchor three times.
Ensuring the mechanical stability of the outer layer is not difficult.
The timing of the middle-level Wind-Breathing Jade is complex, but it can be done by observing the stars.
The real problem is inner-layer triggering.
The essence of a consciousness catalyst is not necessarily a person.
What it needs is a medium that can be recognized by the Sky Anchor and can transmit stable intentions over long distances.
Zhang Yan looked down at his palm.
The heart of nature's craftsmanship.
It can sense the energy of the void and can also bind to the coordinates of the Four Spirits.
If we extend a small segment of our sensory reach into the core of the Sky-Observing Anchor...
The risk is that if the two-way binding is too deep, it will cause the Sky-Gazing Anchor to contaminate the structural stability of the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship.
However, only minimal permissions are granted, and energy sharing is not permitted.
feasible.
Zhang Yan raised his hand.
"Process the outer layer first."
The thousand-arm mechanism unfolds.
The wind-breath jade is fixed on a vibration-free processing table, and the robotic arm cuts, grinds, and embeds it at extremely low speed.
The stargazer's hands were very steady.
Using the frequency scrambling device from the Guantian Pavilion as a reference, she wrote energy paths into each of the Wind Breath Jade Rings.
Qin Xiao stood at a distance, staring wide-eyed.
This is not simply about manufacturing equipment.
It's more like two long-lost technological systems being pieced together on a single diagram for the first time.
Zhang Yan is in charge of precision.
The stargazers were responsible for the ancient structure.
Three hours later, the first sky-observing anchor was completed.
It is shaped like a short spear, grayish-white in color, with three layers of wind-breathing jade rings embedded in the middle section, and there are faint time-delay fluctuations inside.
Qin Xiao reached out to touch it, but Zhang Yan stopped him with a look.
"Don't move."
"I'll just take a look."
"Even if you're looking, stay away."
The second one.
The third one.
Once everything is complete, the problem returns to the core issue.
Looking at the three Sky Anchors, Guan Xing said in a low voice, "If it can only be done manually, it will be much less meaningful. No one can trigger the sealing battle a second time at that distance."
Zhang Yan did not respond.
He fixed the first celestial observation anchor on the test platform, with the core of the project close to the core slot.
The blue-white light is very faint.
It's not a purification pulse.
Rather, it's the sensory antennae.
For the first time, the stargazer's expression changed.
"You want to integrate the Heart of Heaven's Craftsmanship?"
"Micro-binding".
"This method is not found in the journal."
"So there's no need to refer to the handbook."
Zhang Yan controlled things very meticulously.
The sensory tentacles of the Heavenly Craftsmanship Heart extended into the core of the Sky-Observing Anchor, but only remained on the outermost trigger membrane, without contacting the middle time loop.
one second.
two seconds.
The jade ring on the surface of the Sky Anchor flashed.
Zhang Yan immediately disconnected.
A system notification popped up.
The Sky Anchor has successfully triggered permission binding.
Remote activation distance: Affected by the perception range of the Heavenly Craftsmanship and the spatial anchoring environment.
Stability: Available.
Guan Xing stared at the line of data, remaining silent for a long time.
Qin Xiao couldn't help but ask, "It's done?"
Zhang Yan picked up the second one.
"It's done."
The same method.
All three sky-gazing anchors have been successfully secured.
The triggering of permissions belongs to the heart of the divine craftsman.
No life-saving switch is needed.
Looking at the three anchor points, Guan Xing said softly, "The things from the Mohist school... are truly different."
Zhang Yan put away the Sky-Gazing Anchor.
"It's not that the things are different, it's that we lacked the spirit of craftsmanship before."
There was no dispute when observing the stars.
She knew the weight of those words.
The problem that had plagued Guantiange for hundreds of years was solved by Zhang Yan in less than ten minutes.
This is not a difference in skill.
It is a gap at the core level.
Zhang Yan stored the three celestial anchors into the system space.
The system panel has returned to normal display.
The success rate of sealing did not jump much immediately, only increasing from 91% to 93%.
But Zhang Yan felt more at ease.
The success rate is only a system estimate.
The value of the Sky Anchor lies in its failure.
It can give him a second chance.
This is more important than numbers.
When it was time to wrap up, Guan Xing did not leave immediately.
Zhang Yan glanced at her: "Is there anything else?"
Guan Xing put the journal back into the box, then suddenly asked, "Duan Yun Gu, did you see that thing?"
Zhang Yan's finger stopped.
Qin Xiao also turned to look at her.
"Do you know what Broken Cloud Valley has?"
Guan Xing nodded.
"It's called the Wind Spirit Beast. It's recorded in the Heavenly Observation Pavilion."
Zhang Yan looked at her.
Guan Xing continued, "It is neither a follower nor a pollutant. It is very sensitive to high-dimensional energy and usually does not leave Duan Yun Valley."
"usually?"
"Before its last appearance, it ran out of Broken Cloud Valley and appeared in a densely populated area."
Zhang Yan's eyes turned cold.
The stargazing paused for a moment.
"When you went to mine, it followed you to the mouth of the valley."
"Then?"
"Then it left the valley."
Zhang Yan remained silent.
Guan Xing looked up at him.
"Its direction of movement before it disappeared was northeast."
