102: Technological explosion, disruptive landscape

The success of the "Rule Simulator" was like a deep-sea bomb dropped into a calm lake, triggering an unprecedented technological craze within Cloud Court. The eccentrics of the "Curiosity Institute," led by Crystal Pupil, were as if their mental shackles had been broken, throwing themselves into the research and application of various Laws and energies with unprecedented enthusiasm.

Resources were prioritized for supply. Yun Feng would occasionally bestow a wisp of Chaos Origin Qi as an initiator. Nie Li was in charge of overall coordination, Yun Hao was responsible for safety and stress testing, and Yun Qiao provided harmonization and optimization suggestions from the perspective of the Law of Life. The entire Cloud Court's efficient execution provided the most fertile ground for this technological explosion.

In just a few months, a series of astonishing achievements, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, emerged from the Curiosity Institute:

The "Chaos Guiding Art: Popular Edition," optimized and deduced based on the Rule Simulator, was developed. Although far less profound than Yun Feng's personal transmission, it allowed ordinary Black Gold Rank Cultivators to more safely absorb and refine a trace of Chaos Qi, solidify their Foundation, and enhance their potential, with effects far surpassing the top Cultivation Techniques of many planes. Once this art was piloted on a small scale in Void Academy, it immediately caused a sensation, with students' Cultivation speed visibly increasing!

The "Standard Chaos Battle Armor," combining the computing core of the Crystal Brain race, the precise forging of the Gold Stone Fortress, and the blessing of Chaos runes, began to be equipped by the elite Void Patrol Guards. The battle armor not only had astonishing defensive power but could also slightly amplify the wearer's attack and had a built-in miniature spatial warp module and energy shield generator, significantly boosting individual combat and survival capabilities.

The "Singer of the Forest," inspired by Yun Qiao's Law of Life, successfully cultivated "Starlight Rice." This rice could directly absorb and convert gentle Void Realm energy, and the resulting grains contained pure spiritual power, which could serve as Cultivation resources. Its yield was extremely high, initially solving the logistical supply problem for large-scale Void Realm expeditions.

Meanwhile, the "Archaeology Fanatic," with the help of countless damaged Puppet parts and the Rule Simulator, successfully restored and improved the drive core of the ancient "Giant God Soldier." Although still far from manufacturing a complete Giant God Soldier, the improved core, as an energy source for large warships or fixed defensive turrets, increased efficiency by more than 30%!

Some of these achievements were immediately put into use, some were listed as strategic reserves, and some less sensitive but highly practical ones were put into the "Star Sea Market" for trade.

When the envoy from the Lava Realm saw the "Flame Core Stabilizer" that allowed their raging flames to be commanded as easily as an arm, his eyes widened; when the Elder of the Green Source Star Realm experienced the "Vitality Tide Formation Disk" that could accelerate the growth of spiritual plants and slightly improve their quality, he was so excited he almost shed tears on the spot; when a plane merchant known for speed obtained the prototype of the "Gale Boots" that could briefly perform miniature spatial jumps, he immediately offered a sky-high price!

Cloud Court was no longer just a symbol of powerful military strength; it also became synonymous with "high technology" and "black technology"! The status of the Star Sea Market rose accordingly, with countless planes scrambling to obtain a fixed stall here, or to establish cooperation with the Curiosity Institute, even if it was just to purchase some civilian products derived from their technology.

This technological crushing brought a shock and influence that, to some extent, was more profound and lasting than military deterrence. It meant that Cloud Court possessed the ability to define the direction of the "future"!

On this day, Aileen, the "Void Elf" who had once been recruited by Yun Feng, excitedly found Nie Li and Yun Hao.

"Vice Dean! Instructor Yun Hao! We... we might have found a way to use the Rule Simulator to stabilize small spatial rifts and transform them into controllable 'Spatial Gates'!" Aileen's voice trembled with excitement, "Although it can only be maintained for a very short time, and the transmission distance and stability are limited, but, but this means..."

Nie Li and Yun Hao exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

This meant that Cloud Court might, in the future, master the true meaning of instantaneous troop deployment, regardless of vast distances! Whether for strategic mobility or commercial transportation, everything would undergo earth-shattering changes!

When the news reached Yun Feng, he pondered for a moment and only replied with one sentence: "Prioritize resources, conduct secret research. Pay attention to safety and confidentiality."

The technological singularity had erupted, and it was reshaping Cloud Court at a speed beyond everyone's imagination, subtly changing the power dynamics of this star sea. The old order was being broken, and new rules were being written by Cloud Court.
