420: Chapter 421 Building a Super Graphics Card to Perfect the Mainframe

The next day, the light of dawn once again fell upon the beach.

The sea breeze blew gently, carrying a salty scent that blew away the last traces of sleepiness.

Beside the embers of the bonfire, the four women had already finished washing up and were sitting around in high spirits, watching Lu Chen.

He was still sitting cross-legged in that "work area," with more jars and bottles placed before him containing purified powders and crystals of various elements.

"What are you doing today?" Yin Susu asked indistinctly while munching on a wild fruit.

Lu Chen didn't look back; he picked up a small pinch of shiny silicon powder and mixed in some other metal particles that shimmered with different lusters.

"Yesterday I built the frame; today I'm adding some parts."

A wisp of gentle flame ignited at his fingertips, causing the mixture to suspend in the air for calcination, purification, and shaping.

Soon, several thin, rectangular, translucent crystal strips floated before him. Inside the crystal strips, extremely fine golden circuits seemed to appear and disappear.

"Rulers?" Yin Susu's eyes widened. "Husband, are you going to be a tailor?"

Lu Chen's hands didn't stop; his Divine Sense moved, and the runes of the [Nine-Turn Reincarnation Array] were branded like seals, deeply embedded into the crystals to restructure their microscopic form.

Immediately after, the [Spirit Vein Profound Array] turned into invisible energy channels spreading across the crystals, ensuring the high-speed flow of energy and "information."

Finally, the [Qiankun Wuji Array] descended, granting them super stability.

A flash of light passed, and several exquisite, jade-carved elongated objects took shape, their surfaces smooth and edges equipped with metal contact points.

"RAM." Lu Chen flicked his finger, and several "RAM" sticks snapped into the Motherboard with a "clack." "A temporary notepad, the kind that forgets everything once used."

Lu Chen then grabbed a handful of dark powder that looked like metal yet also like some kind of Ore. This time, he added more carbon and several other extremely stable inert Materials.

The flames rose, the temperature higher this time, and the purification more thorough.

[Earth Vein Hidden Array]!

Lu Chen gave a low shout, and the thick, steady runes of the Formation merged into it, giving the material unparalleled stability and durability.

The material was compressed and shaped in the fire, finally turning into a palm-sized, pitch-black, flat rectangular block with a matte texture.

Countless Floating-gate transistors had already been laid out inside.

The [Nine-Turn Reincarnation Array] was applied again, optimizing its internal structure to the extreme with immense density.

Finally, the runes of the [Five Elements Gathering Essence Array] merged in like water ripples, granting it faint self-repair and data protection capabilities.

"This piece looks like an inkstick," Ji Xiaofu said softly.

"Hard drive." Lu Chen placed the black "Hard drive" on the stone slab as well. "This is for writing a diary; it can remember for a long time."

"One forgets after recording, and the other remembers for a long time..." Yang Huangyi said thoughtfully. "Then what about that little square from yesterday?"

"That's the brain, responsible for thinking about things," Lu Chen explained.

"Oh..." The four women half-understood.

Next, Lu Chen took a deep breath, his expression becoming more focused than ever before.

More Materials floated before him in great variety; some even emitted a faint halo of Spiritual Qi, clearly not mundane items.

There were crystals as bright as stars, liquids flowing with metallic luster, and minerals entwined with the faint power of wind and thunder.

"The main event is here," he whispered.

"Hmm?" Fang Yanqing's eyes narrowed. She felt the elemental energy around them beginning to converge at an alarming speed, far greater than when any previous part was made.

Lu Chen moved both hands in tandem, his Divine Sense spreading out with full force.

Metal control, Wood control, Water control, Fire control, Earth control! The power of the Five Elements in his hands was no longer just for simple shaping and purification, but began to undergo deeper energy conversion and structural construction.

He first used the purest silicon crystals and several rare spiritual Ores as a foundation to begin building the core. His Divine Sense turned into billions of carving knives, frantically sculpting at the microscopic level.

"Lin!"

With a low shout, the Power of Hundredfold Amplification descended, and the speed at which he built the core suddenly accelerated! Countless micro-structures, billions of times thinner than a hair, rapidly took shape and connected under the guidance of his Divine Sense.

"Dou!"

With another sharp shout, the Method of Combat evolved into infinite parallel processing units!

Densely packed micro-core arrays instantly spread out. Each core flickered with its own independent spiritual light, yet they collaborated perfectly under a mysterious Formation, like a highly disciplined army!

Just the energy fluctuations emitted by this core array made Fang Yanqing feel a tremor in her heart. The power contained in this thing was too terrifying!

Once the core took initial shape, Lu Chen unhesitatingly infused it with various top-tier Formations.

He used almost every Artifact Refining Formation he had mastered!

After the core was finished, he began to manufacture the matching "Video memory." The Materials were similar to the RAM sticks but purer, with a more optimized structure, and also infused with acceleration Formations like the [Spirit Vein Profound Array] to ensure data throughput reached the extreme.

Finally, the core, Video memory, and various auxiliary components were perfectly integrated.

This board was dark gold overall, its surface covered in dense runes and circuits. The central core array was faintly visible through the cooling vents, flickering with heart-pounding energy light.

"Phew..." Lu Chen let out a long breath of turbid air, sweat appearing on his forehead.

An extremely exaggerated "Graphics Card," full of violent aesthetics and profound aura, floated before him.

"This... what kind of Magic Treasure is this?" Yin Susu's eyes went wide. The aura emitted by this thing was more complex and powerful than any Sharp Weapon she had ever seen.

Fang Yanqing's pupils constricted as she sensed the terrifying potential within it, as if it could calculate the heavens and earth: "This thing... seems born specifically for 'calculation' and 'presentation.' Its structure is too complex."

"So... so beautiful," Yang Huangyi murmured. Although the Graphics Card had a rugged design, the details were full of an indescribable harmony and beauty, like a perfect work of art.

"With such a big size, it must be heavy! Is it for smashing people?" Yin Susu circled the Graphics Card, eager to try it out.

Lu Chen wiped his sweat and gave her an annoyed glance. "Graphics Card. It makes the images look better and faster. From now on, any master of painting or Grandmaster of the Dao of Drawing will have to step aside in front of this thing."

"Alright, the parts are just about done. Assembly!"

Lu Chen picked up the Motherboard he had made yesterday, his expression focused.

He took two RAM sticks, aligned them with the long slots on the Motherboard, and pressed down gently.

"Click."

The RAM sticks were securely fixed in the slots.

He picked up the black Solid-state drive and aligned it with the corresponding interface.

"Snap."

The Hard drive connection was complete.

Finally, he took a deep breath and lifted the massive super Graphics Card with both hands, carefully aligning it with the longest and sturdiest slot on the Motherboard.

"Buzz..."

The moment the Graphics Card touched the Motherboard, the golden circuits on the board flared up, as if sensing the powerful partner about to be connected.

Lu Chen adjusted the angle and pressed down firmly.

"Clang!"

A steady, metallic snapping sound rang out.

The super Graphics Card's massive body fit perfectly into the Motherboard slot, occupying nearly half the Motherboard's area.

"Wow!" Yin Susu was startled by the sudden sound and light effects and took a step back.

Fang Yanqing, Ji Xiaofu, and Yang Huangyi also watched the creation before them with shock, a blend of sci-fi and Xuanhuan.

"The Host is finished." Lu Chen looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction. This configuration would be enough to crush everything, let alone in this era, even if thrown into future generations.

"That's it? It can be used?" Yin Susu leaned in and curiously poked the cool cooling fins on the Graphics Card.

Lu Chen shook his head and stored the assembled Host into the seven treasures ring.

"Having just a brain and a body is useless without eyes to see."}],
