Chapter 76: A High-Level Tool Who Needs to "Recharge" Himself

Boom!

The moment his consciousness connected, Lin Yuan felt as if his brain had been thrown into a high-speed war meat grinder!

Countless images flooded into his mind like frantic fragments!

Interstellar fleets that blotted out the sky!

Giant warships and cannons that tore through stars!

Cold, metallic mechs that were like killing machines!

And battle after battle, occurring between different galaxies and civilizations, interstellar wars that were tragic to the extreme!

These images were filled with bloodshed, violence, and death.

Any ordinary person, if they were to come into contact with even one ten-thousandth of this information, would likely suffer a mental breakdown on the spot and turn into a madman who knew only how to kill.

Yet, Lin Yuan held on!

His incredibly resilient mental power, modified by "Void Affinity," and the "Mental Barrier" built by the "pangu system" on the periphery of his consciousness, acted as two indestructible dams, firmly resisting the impact of this mental torrent.

"Damn… this thing is too intense…"

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, feeling like his head was about to explode.

He could feel that the consciousness contained within this "War Core" was completely different from "ashilya."

If "ashilya" was an elegant, peace-loving artist.

Then the master of this core was a pure, cold soldier born for war! Or rather, a "War AI."

In its memory, there were no superfluous emotions.

Only cold logic, precise calculations, and the ultimate pursuit of the word "victory."

"Calm down… calm down… I'm here to find blueprints, not to watch war movies…"

Lin Yuan forced himself to break free from those bloody war scenes.

He began to attempt, just as he had "accessed" "ashilya" before, to perform an "information retrieval" on this "War Core."

"I need… design blueprints for an interstellar warship. Especially… destroyer class."

He used all his strength to issue this command within his consciousness.

Instantly, that chaotic torrent of information stagnated.

Then, a three-dimensional blueprint, so vast it was unimaginable, so complex it made his scalp tingle, and filled with violent aesthetics, slowly unfolded in his mind.

【Target locked: "the arbitrators" class, multi-functional assault destroyer.】

A line of cold, emotionless text appeared next to the blueprint.

【Hull length: 488 meters.】

【Standard displacement: 250,000 tons.】

【Main weapon: Bow 'Focused' Heavy Particle Cannon * 1.】

【Secondary weapons: 'Honeycomb' Electromagnetic Railgun Array * 12, 'Storm' Cluster Missile Launch System * 8.】

【Defense system: 'Aegis' class energy shield, three-layer composite armor.】

【Engine: Dual 'Fusion Pulse' engines, capable of short-range curvature navigation.】

【…】

When Lin Yuan relayed these performance parameters—so luxurious they were blinding, and so detailed that even the specifications of every screw were marked—word for word to the Command Center.

The entire core laboratory fell into a deathly silence once again.

All the experts, whether they worked in aerospace or weapon design, stood as if they had been frozen by a spell, mouths agape, unable to utter a single word.

A 488-meter-long destroyer?

A displacement of 250,000 tons?

This dammit… it's even bigger than the largest aircraft carrier on Earth! And this is still called a destroyer?!

And that weapon system…

Heavy particle cannon? Electromagnetic railgun? Energy shield?

Weren't these things still stuck in science fiction novels, or in the theoretical conceptual stages of their laboratory?

And now, a complete, mature set of design blueprints that could be used immediately was lying right in front of them!

Academician Wang looked at the incredibly complex blueprint, his lips trembling as he muttered to himself.

He felt that he was not looking at a design drawing.

He was looking at a gift from a god!

"Quick! Quick! Record all the data for me! Don't let a single byte leak!" He roared at the technical personnel beside him as if he had gone mad.

"pangu system! 'pangu system'! Immediately begin parsing and modeling the blueprints! I want to see its complete 3D model within twenty-four hours!"

The entire research team was injected with another, even more potent dose of adrenaline, and began a new round of frantic operation.

After transmitting the blueprints, Lin Yuan felt like he was about to collapse from exhaustion.

Connecting to this "War Core" consumed more than ten times the mental energy compared to connecting to "ashilya."

"Academician Wang… I can't do it anymore… I need to rest…" He said weakly.

"Rest? What rest! The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades must still work hard!" Academician Wang's eyes were bloodshot as he dragged him out of the cockpit and pressed him onto another instrument.

"This is our newly developed 'Mental Energy Recovery Device'! It was created based on the theory of the 'cradle of life'! Hurry up and recharge your mental energy for me! We still have many questions to ask you!"

Lin Yuan: "…"

He felt that he had completely become a "tool."

And the kind of high-level tool that needed to "recharge" itself.

…

In the following month.

Lin Yuan lived this life of pain and happiness.

During the day, he was treated as a "human database" by Academician Wang and his team, being "squeezed" over and over again.

"Lin Yuan! Quick! Ask that 'Iron-Blooded AI' again! What material is the energy focusing coil of the 'Focused Particle Cannon' made of?"

"Uh… let me see… It says it's made of something called 'Klingon Alloy.' It needs to be forged in a galaxy with two neutron stars, utilizing the binary star gravitational field… Where the hell am I supposed to find that?"

"Lin Yuan! What are the frequency parameters for the force field generator of the 'Aegis' class energy shield?"

"It says… this is top-secret military information and requires… requires Commander clearance to view. I… my clearance is not high enough."

At night, he would lie paralyzed in his luxury suite like a dead dog, relying on playing video games to restore his nearly drained mental energy.

Meanwhile.

Under the frantic efforts of the entire "South Heaven Gate Project" team.

With the help of Lin Yuan, this "super translator."

The construction work of "nantianmen no. 1" was advancing at an incredible speed.

They didn't have "Klingon Alloy," but the experts in the materials group, based on its basic atomic structure, used their existing technology to develop a "youth version" substitute alloy. Although the strength was only 30% of the original, it was enough to use!

They didn't have "Commander clearance" and couldn't view the core parameters of the energy shield. But the experts in the weapons group, relying on the reverse deduction of the "pangu system" and countless failed experiments, managed to create a "beggar version" of the energy shield. Although the defensive power was concerning, at least they had gone from nothing to something!

And most crucially, the research and development of the "Kunpeng Engine" had made breakthrough progress!

With Lin Yuan's bonus of "increasing space technology understanding by 50%," his understanding of the "void crystal core" deepened day by day.

He could always use "junkyard metaphors" that made Academician Wang and the others want to hit him, but upon closer thought, seemed very reasonable, to explain those profound and mysterious spatial theories.

"Academician Wang, let me tell you, this 'space folding' is actually very simple. It's just like how we fold waste cardboard boxes. You take a huge piece of paper and fold it, and its two distant corners touch each other, right? Our engine's job is just to 'fold the universe'!"

"And this 'gravitational singularity' is even easier to understand! It's just a sewer drain! We throw the spaceship into this 'sewer,' and it comes out of another 'sewer' drain! As for how it travels in between, we don't need to worry! As long as it arrives, it's fine!"

The experts in the physics group fell into a long, deep contemplation over Lin Yuan's brand-new "sewer theory."

Just like that.

A month later.

In that huge, temple-like construction workshop.

The keel of a silver-gray interstellar warship, full of ferocious, iron-blooded, and sci-fi aesthetic, had already begun to take shape!

It was the future "nantianmen no. 1"!

It was the first ark carrying the entire Great Xia civilization, flying toward the sea of stars!
