Chapter 129: Stunned Design Plans

Rune Spears, Rune Cannons, Rune Missiles...

Facing Facing Cang Luo had never thought along these lines; now that Li Weiguo mentioned it, he felt a bit of anticipation.

A product of combining martial arts and technology?

It must be extremely powerful!

But how to do it?

Spears, cannons, and missiles are all projectile weapons; where should the runes be inscribed?

On the bullets and missile warheads?

Or on the gun barrels or cannon barrels?

And what type of array needs to be inscribed?

An active activation array?

Or a passive trigger array?

Also, the array definitely needs modification; it's impossible to copy it exactly...

Facing Facing Cang Luo had no ideas. Although he could draw arrays, he merely copied them like a parrot, tracing the arrays by rote memorization.

Moreover, he currently only knew three arrays: the Beast Pet Contract Array, the Beginner Lightning Array, and the Wind Shield.

Among them, the Beast Pet Contract Array had no rank and was a rather special array, while the Wind Shield and the Beginner Lightning Array were both Yellow Grade Lower Tier arrays—one for defense, one for attack.

Facing Facing Cang Luo had once attempted to draw the Intermediate Lei Guang Array of Yellow Grade Middle Tier, but failed; his Yuan Consciousness was insufficient, and he nearly fainted.

As for modifying arrays, claiming to know how would be boasting; in reality, he only weakened the array's power without changing its nature. If not for creating Yuan Power Batteries, it had absolutely no practical value.

When modifying the Beginner Lightning Array back then, he replaced and deleted several key runes within the array, drastically reducing its power so it could no longer form lightning, only releasing Lightning-attribute Yuan Power.

Even so, it was not simple; the replacement runes had to share the same attributes as the original ones, and the deleted runes must not affect the array's structure.

Every time a rune was altered, the entire array had to be redrawn and checked, consuming a great deal of time.

Facing Facing Cang Luo felt that if arrays were to be inscribed on firearms and missiles, the array's operating mechanism would at least need to be changed; it was absolutely not simple, and he believed he could not do it.

However, Facing Facing Cang Luo believed that just because he couldn't do it didn't mean Earth's scientists couldn't; arrays and martial arts were, to some extent, just another form of science.

As the saying goes, understanding one thing leads to understanding a hundred; with Earth's technology, they might actually be able to achieve it.

Facing Facing Cang Luo didn't overthink it; he first focused on getting the Steel Chariot sorted, retracted the Wind Shield Array, and looked at Academician Yang in the video.

Suddenly, Facing Facing Cang Luo froze, staring blankly at the mobile phone on the table.

The phone... was placed on the table, not in contact with him; why could it still connect to Earth's network?

Had the satellite ability been upgraded?

Had the satellite ability been strengthened as his Martial General cultivation advanced?

Facing Facing Cang Luo quickly reacted, walking calmly toward the phone, picking it up to inspect it, then placing it back on the table.

After a thorough check, Facing Facing Cang Luo discovered that although the phone could still connect to the network without his contact, the signal would weaken.

At a distance of three meters, the signal dropped to one bar; beyond three and a half meters, the signal was completely lost; holding it in his hand restored the signal to full bars.

Facing Facing Cang Luo vaguely sensed a strange connection between himself and the phone; that feeling was hard to describe, as if his Yuan Consciousness could link with the phone's signal.

However, Facing Facing Cang Luo was certain this connection was absolutely not Yuan Consciousness, but something else...

A WiFi signal?

Had he become a router? Acting as a signal relay station between the satellite and the phone?

Before it was wired; now it had become wireless?

Facing Facing Cang Luo gave a bitter smile twice, no longer wasting time thinking about it, but he noted he should be careful in the future; when not in use, it was best to turn off the phone's signal, otherwise, if someone took the phone to look and a call came in, it would be disastrous.

At this moment, the video call, which had disconnected due to the signal loss from being too far away just now, reconnected; Li Weiguo and the others didn't ask anything, as occasional disconnections due to poor signal were normal.

Moreover, this was interplanetary, even inter-universal communication; no one knew how many light-years separated them, so it was understandable.

Academician Yang said excitedly, "Xiao Cang, right now, compile all materials regarding arrays and your ideas and understanding of rune armor, then send them to us."

By the way, send several arrays, arrays of various ranks and different functions.

Although we cannot draw them, perhaps we can find some pattern from them, master the method of drawing arrays in advance, and not have to wait until the two worlds connect to learn."

I just took a look; I found that the combination and suppression between runes and between rune chains are actually much like computer programs; they can be programmed..."

Academician Yang said much, and Facing Facing Cang Luo was deeply impressed.

Scientists are indeed scientists; they actually compared arrays to computer programs, runes and rune chains to code, and analyzed arrays by studying the attributes and suppression relationships between runes...

Facing Facing Cang Luo nodded in agreement, but after thinking for a moment, he added, "I can give you all the array materials without reservation, but as for sending several more arrays, especially high-rank arrays, I cannot do that."

You just compared arrays to computer programs, and I fully agree; programs are coded, and after coding, they are packaged and encrypted; the code can only be seen after cracking, and arrays are the same."

Except for a few common Yellow Grade arrays that can be learned anywhere, most arrays have prohibitions set, making it impossible to see the runes that compose them."

Regarding this point, Facing Facing Cang Luo did not lie; take the most common disposable arrays drawn on beast hide as an example.

If sold in shops, the arrays are rolled up and have prohibitions set; forcibly opening them will only destroy the array.

Of course, when activating and using them, there is no need to unroll the beast hide scroll; they can be activated directly.

And arrays inscribed on weapons are even more complex; key parts are encrypted, and some are even drawn directly inside the weapon."

Array Masters are not stupid; they value intellectual property rights heavily."

"I see..." Academician Yang nodded, indicating understanding.

Both sides fell silent for a moment; Facing Facing Cang Luo couldn't help but ask, "Academician Yang, what about the armor for my electric motorcycle? What do you think?"

Academician Yang smiled, "No problem; old man and a few students will start designing it for you tonight; I guarantee you'll be satisfied..."

By the way, Xiao Cang, your armor is for the Yuanwu Continent's... Smiths to forge, right?"

Seeing Facing Facing Cang Luo nod, he immediately said excitedly, "Then can you secretly film their forging process? Especially the process of inscribing the arrays."

Facing Facing Cang Luo froze for a moment; this was very dangerous, okay?

Stealing techniques to learn would get you beaten to death!

The process of forging the armor might be open to observation, but the process of inscribing the arrays will absolutely not be shown to outsiders.

Facing Facing Cang Luo spoke the truth, and Academician Yang expressed understanding once more before ending the call to design the armor.

At this moment, Facing Facing Cang Luo suddenly remembered something and, while Academician Yang had not yet left, hurriedly said, "Academician Yang, could you also design two weapons for me?

One is a spear that can be disassembled and assembled, and the other is a hidden weapon with a fast firing speed and lethality?"

The spear is for Miss Bai Li; her spear was severed by Zhang Zhen, who robbed them upon their first hunting return with the War Wolf Gang.

Facing Facing Cang Luo saw how heartbroken and lost she was; although he said nothing at the time, he secretly kept it in mind, deciding to help her repair it when the opportunity arose. Now was just the right time to directly design and forge a new one for her.

As for the hidden weapon, it was prepared for himself. He was very strong in close combat and invincible at his own realm, yet he lacked long-range attack means and could not always rely on Erha.

Moreover, having many skills never burdens the body!

This time, Academician Yang did not speak, because designing cold weapons was not his forte.

Beside him, Li Weiguo laughed, "Leave this to us; what cold weapon does Feng Lin Huo Shan not have?"

Facing Facing Cang Luo was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you. Your vast Feng Lin Huo Shan is finally of some use."

In the video call, Li Weiguo's face darkened once again...

Facing Facing Cang Luo laughed heartily, quickly ended the call, and then waited for the design drawings.

Three days later.

Facing Facing Cang Luo received over thirty design drawings in A3 paper format.

Among them, most were armor design drawings for the Steel Chariot. Academician Yang had found an electric motorcycle manufacturer to design them based on the original mold, ensuring they fit absolutely perfectly.

The overall shape of the Steel Chariot's armor was full of technological sense, with sharp angles and extremely cool aesthetics. Some structures were even movable, allowing for transformation and modification according to the usage environment.

For instance, side wings and tail fins could be deployed, making it lighter and faster when riding the wind.

Academician Yang and his students were very conscientious; they also designed an external attachment system for the armor to mount weapons.

For example, mount a spear for charging and ramming, mount a crossbow to fire arrows, mount a sled to become a snow battle motorcycle, or mount a side seat to become a device for carrying girls...

Of course, these external weapons were also designed for Facing Facing Cang Luo, matching the Steel Chariot.

Academician Yang also considered one thing very thoroughly, and after seeing it, Facing Facing Cang Luo expressed infinite gratitude.

Installing the armor requires disassembling the original shell, and Academician Yang even sent over a tutorial on how to disassemble it.

Additionally, considering that the Yuanwu Continent might not be able to manufacture fine parts like screws and nuts, when designing the armor, he made all connection parts of the armor into mortise and tenon structures, making disassembly and assembly very convenient.

Truly, utmost care was taken!

Not only that, Academician Yang also considered the problem of inflating tires and designed a simple air pump.

At this moment, looking at the effect renderings of the Steel Chariot, Facing Facing Cang Luo was filled with unending joy, liking it immensely.

Imagining the scene of riding the Steel Chariot back to the Profound Heaven Sect, those people from the War Wolf Gang would surely have their jaws drop.

After smiling foolishly for a while, Facing Facing Cang Luo picked up the design drawings for the spear and the hidden weapon to examine.

The spear's shape was also full of technological sense; the spearhead was flat and diamond-shaped, with multiple edges sharpened and several air blood grooves made, greatly increasing its damage power.

The spear shaft was made into a disassemblable structure according to Facing Facing Cang Luo's request, also utilizing mortise and tenon structures.

The benefit of mortise and tenon structures is convenient disassembly and greater stability; they will not loosen after long use like threaded structures, and they are also convenient for forging.

The hidden weapon was a three-pronged flying dagger with tail fins and air blood grooves. Although it looked structurally simple, it actually contained Xuan Qiankun within, making it more complex than the spear.

The Xuan Qiankun lay in its tail fins; the tail fins of the three-pronged flying dagger were movable, allowing the user to control the flight trajectory of the three-pronged flying dagger. It could be thrown in a straight line or in an arc.

This function greatly increased the threat of the three-pronged flying dagger, making it bizarre and unpredictable, leaving opponents unable to defend against it. However, mastering the changes in flight trajectory required extensive practice.

After seeing it, Facing Facing Cang Luo could only describe it as shocking.

However, after the shock, he suddenly found himself dumbfounded.

How could these design drawings be shown to the forgers of the Yuanwu Continent?

It was impossible to show the other party the mobile phone, right?

Otherwise, it would be strange if one wasn't killed and robbed!

"Then, I can only draw the design drawings on paper?" Facing Facing Cang Luo let out a bitter smile and slumped onto the bed.

At this moment, Facing Facing Cang Luo hated Academician Yang to death; why did he design it so complicated?

Dozens of A3 papers; how long would it take to draw them all?

How to draw them?
