Chapter 1535: Quasi-Eighth-Grade Death Light Star-Piercing Cannon

Jiang Ding was answering the questions posed by the two Canghai Tianjun, Qingyou and Qingyang.

At the same time, divine senses from immortal sect cultivators all around were probing toward this place, asking all manner of questions about their own cultivation; Jiang Ding did not refuse any of them, dividing off a wisp of divine sense to handle each one.

In fact, this kind of Q&A was not free either — the immortal sect never advocated doing things for free out of duty.

During this process, Jiang Ding could earn library points from the Central Array Spirit Computer, and quite a lot of them at that — enough to make a Void Refinement cultivator ecstatic.

Although it was of no great use to him, that was that.

No, the greatest benefit was still the vigorous growth of the sect's younger cultivators, making the sect's strength one part stronger, and the sect's immortal-path industrial economic system one part stronger.

Over the past ten thousand years, Soul Transformation and Void Refinement cultivators had emerged in great numbers from the sect, and this included his significant contribution.

This was the greatest benefit it gave him.

Jiang Ding's entire Dao path was closely bound to the sect's growth; as the sect grew, his Dao path grew as well.

While answering the various questions, Jiang Ding's footsteps did not stop; he slowly paced along, observing the various equipment of the Lianyun Spaceport Shipyard, and finally arrived at the central area.

Here, Yuan, Divine Mechanism True Honored One, Ten Thousand Mechanisms True Honored One, Cang Hai True Honored One, and others had all arrived, repeatedly testing every aspect of the Heng-001 stellar-grade Death Star Ship's data, discussing all manner of warship details.

This single brilliant jewel of the sect's immortal-path industry involved far too many fields.

Ten Thousand Mechanisms True Honored One's materials expertise, Divine Mechanism True Honored One's array and array-spirit expertise, Cang Hai True Honored One's engine expertise, plus Yuan and the Great Sun Sword Master's all-round, all-field expertise...

The industrial jewel was condensed from the strength and wisdom of many, so complex it had reached the extreme — it was simply not something a single Dao Merging cultivator could accomplish.

"The hardness of the seventh-grade Celestial Crystal Flowing Light Silk is slightly below standard; the Weaving Heaven Spider clan's production craftsmanship needs improvement, as it is far too slack..."

"Yangming Heavenly Radiance Copper and Youji Nine Abyss Iron have no problems with material properties, but the yin-yang combination is not done well enough; many conflicts appeared during the warship's operation. We still need to seek guidance from the 'Grand Darkness Radiance Scripture' to improve our materials..."

Ten Thousand Mechanisms True Honored One was discussing something with the surrounding Void Refinement cultivators of the sect.

As the sect's prototype, Heng-001 had many shortcomings; normally, simulation calculations simply did not exist — only after truly building the ship were various defects discovered.

"Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold seems to be a better material for the engine's core component, it's just hard to control, far too explosive..."

Yuan said with regret.

This kind of inherited divine gold could be called the sect's strongest spiritual gold, bar none — it was part of the immortal-path foundation of a realm-overlord. If the sect could apply it more, the fleet's strength would surely advance by leaps and bounds.

Unfortunately, this inherited divine gold was far too extreme; the requirements for its use were too high, and the same went for its refinement.

If the sect could not annihilate the Badaxian Sect, Great Sun Immortal Spirit Gold could not possibly be produced in multiple portions — it was something that existed only in theory.

"Jiang Ding, let me introduce the sect's first stellar-grade warship to you."

"So you won't say I wasted your investment."

Divine Mechanism True Honored One greeted the youth upon seeing him arrive.

The Great Sun Sword Master was not a warship-construction specialist; he generally only provided technical support — for instance, when a warship array had problems, when a refinement step could not proceed, when a warship main-cannon array was constructed incorrectly...

Only after these problems appeared would the Great Sun Sword Master step in, first converting these problems into sword-Dao problems, and only then beginning to solve them.

Divine Mechanism True Honored One was the chief engineer of this project.

"Then please guide me, senior."

Jiang Ding greeted the surrounding seniors one by one, smiling.

"Finally,"

"Commander, I'm going to get stronger."

Behind him, a one-meter-tall ship-equipped girl woke up yawning, tidied her sect Vice Marshal military dress uniform, then opened her large, clear black-and-white eyes and carefully looked at Divine Mechanism True Honored One.

Yun Ri had been so bored these past few thousand years she was nearly rusting.

Ever since her commander advanced to the Void Refinement stage, she seemed to have entered a retirement life, completely useless on Dao Merging-grade battlefields.

"First stellar ship, serial number Heng-001, planet-shaped, is a metallic planet we dragged in from beyond the solar system, refined with the addition of vast quantities of heavenly materials and earthly treasures."

Divine Mechanism True Honored One introduced:

"This ship has a diameter of one thousand meters, roughly twice the size of Blue Star. Living quarters, factory zones, agricultural zones, entertainment zones, and so on have been built upon it; in theory it can accommodate hundreds of billions of sect citizens, with a cultivator military of roughly one and a half billion — fully enough to hold an entire army group fleet of the sect."

"In theory, this ship can allow an army group fleet of the sect to cultivate and live normally, or slumber for about seven thousand years, far exceeding the sect's past theoretical limits."

"In terms of arrays, it carries the sect's quasi-eighth-grade Heavenly Net Magnetic Light Boundless Array; combined with an army group's worth of sect citizen fleet, in theory it possesses the power of a quasi-Heavenly Human."

"In terms of weapons, besides thirty-six thousand secondary cannons, it also carries a single quasi-eighth-grade Death Light Star-Piercing Cannon, representing the pinnacle achievement of the sect's ship cannon industry."

"In testing, the Death Light Star-Piercing Cannon can blast a planet to pieces with a single shot — truly a planet destroyer..."

Divine Mechanism True Honored One spoke at length, introducing the various data of the sect's first stellar ship with full pride.

"Quasi-eighth-grade Death Light Star-Piercing Cannon..."

Jiang Ding too felt his heart surge, gazing at the terrifying planet-sized cannon on the Death Star Ship's equator.

Having been deeply involved in the cannon's design, he naturally knew

that this quasi-eighth-grade Death Light Star-Piercing Cannon was born with the function of carrying the Six Paths of Reincarnation Destruction Five Elements Sword, able to greatly amplify this sword's might, letting this sword's power climb sharply, drawing close to the intended height of an Upper Realm Immortal Sect Sword Son.

This was the function Jiang Ding had added when participating in the design of this quasi-eighth-grade giant cannon.

Sect interests and personal interests fused into one!

In this aspect he had practiced what he preached — he would not let himself suffer a loss; the sect's industrial growth was his personal growth, the two were equivalent.

"The only regret is that only Dao Merging cultivators can operate a stellar-grade warship."

"This cannot but be called a shortcoming."

Divine Mechanism True Honored One said with immense regret, then looked at Yuan and the Great Sun Sword Master: "However, you two should be exceptions — at the Void Refinement stage you should already be able to come into contact with stellar-grade warships. When the time comes, remember to submit the actual combat test data; many parts of the prototype ship still need modification, it is not yet finalized."

"Alright, no problem."

Yuan and Jiang Ding nodded.

Yuan possessed terrifying array-Dao attainments; his array-Dao had already gone very deep even at the quasi-eighth-grade height, and he moreover commanded one of the sect's ultimate foundations — the Free Immortal Sect Ship, whose warship strength far surpassed others. The Free Immortal Sect Ship already had the possibility of advancing to stellar-grade now, with no bottleneck existing.

As for the Great Sun Sword Master, he had not reached an outstanding level in array-Dao, so naturally he had done it by brute force with his terrifying Shen Hun He Fa.
