Chapter 468, 3 questions!
Three questions.
"First, is there enough debris to cover the main framework?"
"It's enough. It can cover the main body and key pressure-bearing parts, and alternative materials can be used for non-pressure-bearing areas."
"Second, the heat-free force field cannot be manually triggered; it must be linked to the life support system. When the internal temperature of the mech exceeds the threshold, the force field will automatically activate and maintain itself for the maximum duration."
"It can be changed."
Third, do not cut the crystallized material.
Zhang Yan looked up.
Nie Qingcheng pushed the tablet in front of him, which contained newly compiled structural suggestions and risk simulations.
"The core crystals of a star may not be solid mineral veins, but more likely high-pressure energy crystals. Violent cutting would cause instability. Instead, we can guide the precipitation by releasing a synchronous pulse with the Heart of the Celestial Craftsman, drawing the crystals from the environment into the encapsulation container."
Zhang Yan quickly finished reading, his fingertip lingering on the third item for a moment.
"You're right, cutting is too rough. Guided precipitation is more stable and consumes less energy. I'll recalculate the pulse parameters."
Nie Qingcheng picked up the milk and held it to his lips.
"Drink it, sleep for three hours, and give me the final version before noon."
Zhang Yan took a sip of water from her hand, then grasped her wrist. "Want to sleep together?"
"I also need to coordinate with Qin Xiao, the stargazer, and the locksmith. The preparations will be in place before you wake up."
Her fingertips brushed against the side of his face, her tone softening, but she didn't give him any room to back down.
"You're in charge of building the weapons, and I'll take care of ensuring your back doesn't collapse. That's the division of labor."
Zhang Yan looked at her and nodded.
"it is good."
Nie Qingcheng stopped at the door and took out her phone.
"I made a schedule on the spot."
The screen displays the overall schedule starting today, including material procurement, mecha modification, simulation testing, teamwork, meals, and rest, all detailed down to the hour.
She scrolled to the last line.
Day 211: Hokkaido, no lateness allowed.
Seven months is approximately 210 days.
Day 211 is the day after the deadline.
Zhang Yan looked at the line of text and gave a short laugh.
"receive."
After Nie Qingcheng left, the laboratory fell silent again.
After finishing his milk, Zhang Yan returned to the control panel, his gaze falling on the streamlined outline of the final blueprint.
The Sun is a crystalline core of a star, with a temperature of 40 million degrees Celsius.
He sat back in his chair and began revising the mecha modification plan.
The rising sun outside the window illuminated the burning star model on the screen, and also the timetable that had tightened again in his eyes.
As the high-dimensional debris was hoisted into the underground laboratory, the support platform emitted a low tremor.
It was an irregularly shaped, dark gray substance with a metallic sheen, yet it absorbed the surrounding light. When placed on the table, only a dim halo remained around its edge.
Zhang Yan stood in front of the support platform, holding the pulse transmitter connected to the Tiangong Heart, his work clothes already soaked with sweat.
The renovation has entered its third day.
According to Nie Qingcheng's plan, the high-dimensional debris was broken down into thousands of hexagonal modules, which were then used to cover the outer shell of the chaotic mech in a honeycomb layered structure.
The problem is that this material is almost impossible to cut.
Plasma beam, laser, and molecular vibration knife were tested in turn, all of which failed. Only the specific purification pulse of Tiangongzhixin could make its structure relax briefly, and then the robotic arm completed the shaping, slot trimming and pre-welding.
This means that Zhang Yan must simultaneously maintain the pulse frequency, control the robotic arm's path, and prevent material information backlash.
"The seventeenth piece on the third layer of the right wing, beginning to take shape."
Golden pulses cover the hexagonal module, and fine ripples appear on the black and gray surface. The robotic arm cuts into the edge and shapes the slot according to the preset trajectory.
The module suddenly vibrated before the final step was completed.
Zhang Yan's wrist sank, and the pulse output almost stopped.
It's not a physical reaction, it's an information feedback loop.
A complex, low-frequency, and highly aggressive flow of information rushed into the depths of consciousness through the pulse channel. The Heavenly Craftsmanship Heart Defense Protocol immediately deployed a golden barrier, blocking most of the backflow.
Several fragments are still imprinted into the senses.
found it!
Key, core, hunger, devour, food.
This is followed by a perspective.
Countless gray-white individuals squeezed together to form a sea, stacking layer upon layer to create a massive outer shell. At the center was a pulsating core, and in front of that sea of consciousness, a blue planet was rotating in the darkness, radiating the fluctuations of the Heart of Heaven's Craftsmanship.
Zhang Yan cut off the pulse, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and his hands trembled briefly.
"Zhang Yan?"
Nie Qingcheng's voice came through the communication, faster than usual.
"It's alright, there are fragments of the community's memories in the wreckage."
"content."
Zhang Yan steadied his breathing and compressed the information into a tactical conclusion.
"The core of the matrix is not a single consciousness, but a collective consciousness formed by the fusion of a large number of individuals."
"The outer layer is not armor, but a collective armor formed by individual layers stacked together. Theoretically, the purification pulse of the Heart of Heaven can peel it off layer by layer."
There was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the communication.
When Nie Qingcheng spoke, she had already returned to work.
"Good news, the final attack method can be changed to a stripping strike, instead of simply unleashing energy. I'm recording this. Can you continue in this state?"
"able."
Zhang Yan reconnected the pulse and added a layer of consciousness buffer at the output end to prevent information from flowing backward again.
The robotic arm continued to operate.
By the afternoon, the first batch of eighty-one modules for the core area of the mecha's back had been shaped and pre-processed. Zhang Yan stood up and stretched his neck and shoulders. Just as he was about to take a break as Nie Qingcheng had instructed, he switched the communication channel to stargazing.
"Zhang Yan, the locksmith has new information."
"explain."
"Through the residual listening module of the lock, he captured directional energy fluctuations from outside the door network, pointing towards the solar system, and the energy characteristics matched those of the community's parent body."
Zhang Yan stopped what he was doing.
Guan Xing continued, "The trajectory parameters are abnormal. The mother body may have accelerated en route. According to the locksmith's calculations, the arrival time will be at least two months ahead of schedule."
Seven months became five months.
The only sound in the laboratory was the hum of the equipment cooling.
Zhang Yan looked at the neatly arranged hexagonal modules on the storage shelf, reached out and picked up one of them, feeling its cool touch through his gloves.
The final construction will take time.
Transforming chaos takes time.
Adapting to the final form takes time.
Entering the sun's core to extract condensed crystals requires calculating every second to the absolute limit.
Now, two months have been cut off.
Zhang Yan closed his eyes and accessed the Heart of Heavenly Craftsmanship, retrieved the overall project schedule, and recalculated, compressed, and merged each process.
After a moment, he opened his eyes.
"Guanxing, notify Qin Xiao that the transformation process is being accelerated across the board."
"First, all materials should be in place within ten days."
"Secondly, the protection level of the underground laboratory has been upgraded by one level."
"Third, have the locksmith synchronize the mother acceleration data to me. I need the complete trajectory model within three hours."
"clear."
Zhang Yan disconnected the communication, returned to the control panel, and picked up his tools again.
The golden pulses lit up again, brighter and more stable than before.
The laboratory lights stayed on all night, the robotic arm fell repeatedly, and hexagonal modules continued to accumulate on the storage rack.
Time begins to flow from this moment on, measured in seconds.
In the distance, in the darkness, that enormous shadow was rapidly approaching.
