Chapter 214: Mingdu Soul Guidance Matrix

"The direction is wrong?"

Hearing this, Jing Hongchen was somewhat puzzled; he could not understand why the direction would be wrong. He had participated in the research of Number Two from the beginning, and based on the Sun Moon Empire's years of research, the research direction for Number Two could not possibly be wrong. Yet now, Luo Yu was actually telling him that the direction was wrong.

The direction was wrong, but where exactly was it wrong?

This was a question that even the Hall Master himself could not fathom. Could it be that he had truly fallen behind the times?

"Actually, if I just said the direction was wrong, you probably wouldn't believe me, Teacher. But please allow me to ask you a few questions. I believe that after hearing these questions, you will understand why I said the direction is wrong." Luo Yu paused and took a notebook out from his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

"Teacher, the first question: why are we manufacturing and researching the Number Two Experimental Subject?" Luo Yu asking this was not merely to keep Jing Hongchen in suspense, but to have Jing Hongchen state the answer he wanted himself.

"To promote the development of Soul Guidance Devices, and at the same time, give us the power to contend with the Super Douluo, Peak Douluo, and even Limit Douluo of Shrek!" This was the obsession pursued by the predecessors of the Sun Moon Empire, and also the original intention behind building Number One and Number Two.

Luo Yu continued to ask: "The second question: since we hope Number Two can become the War Machine for our Sun Moon Empire to unify the continent, then Number Two's powerful strength must require sufficient soul power to support that formidable combat capability. So, may I ask, where does Number Two's soul power come from?"

"The Soul Engineer controlling Number Two, and the Sealed Milk Bottle." Jing Hongchen naturally knew the situation with Number Two, but his thinking was still limited to the output of soul power assisted by Milk Bottles.

Luo Yu continued to ask: "The third question: if we rely on Milk Bottle assistance, does that not require a large number of high-level Milk Bottles, as well as a high soul power level for the pilot of Number Two? And does the operating cost of Number Two not increase drastically?"

"You mean..." Having reached this point, as long as he was a normal person, Jing Hongchen could understand Luo Yu's line of thought.

"Teacher, my original thoughts were the same as yours, and the same as those predecessors. But as the research progressed, we all realized that things seemed to have hit a bottleneck, yet we didn't know where the problem lay. However, I suspect the biggest possibility is still soul power, because for any Soul Guidance Device, once it exerts a greater attack or defense effect, it must require more soul power to support it."

The reason Luo Yu asked one by one was, firstly, out of concern that if he said it directly, Jing Hongchen would reject his idea. At the same time, Jing Hongchen himself had participated in the research of Number Two; only after Jing Hongchen touched upon the problem himself, engaged in thought, and arrived at the result, would he agree with Luo Yu's idea.

"Then how did you discover where the problem lies?" Jing Hongchen also realized the issue. If Number Two really needed to exert powerful combat strength, the consumption of soul power would inevitably be enormous. If they increased the number of high-level Sealed Milk Bottles just to start Number Two, it would go against their original intention, because that would not only limit the use of Number Two but also impose extremely harsh strength requirements on the pilot of Number Two.

Luo Yu handed the notebook to Jing Hongchen and said: "The idea you just mentioned is also our idea. But after we installed the Milk Bottles and had a Soul Douluo start it, we discovered that although the effect was good, it could not sustain long-term combat. If it were just for a battle, Number Two could be put into combat now, but Number Two simply cannot manage long-term movement and flight, because the soul power reserves do not allow it."

Looking at the notebook in his hand filled with experimental records and various data, even Jing Hongchen felt a series of headaches. Yes, the issue of soul power reserves had always been their heart's affliction. Their Title Douluo were already fewer than those of the Three Great Empires; if they still needed a Title Douluo to control an experimental subject like Number Two, it would be a complete loss. For no other reason than that the Sun Moon Empire's Title Douluo were truly scarce.

"However, after experiencing this, we still thought about solving the soul power consumption problem. After our month-long adjustment, Number Two's soul power consumption was indeed reduced compared to before, and we also modified the Milk Bottles and increased the number of Milk Bottles carried, but the results were still unsatisfactory. This was when someone proposed whether there was a problem with the overall design of Number Two. This statement is indeed correct, but one must know that Number Two itself is an experimental product; we are just accumulating experience on Number Two to prepare for the future great cause of the Sun Moon Empire."

"Therefore, the experiment for Number Two has fallen into a bottleneck again. I believe that our current obsession with the modification direction of Number Two is not correct. Instead, we need a new soul power bearing technology, or a brand-new energy source to replace the Milk Bottle, such as the Soul Guidance Matrix of Mingdu!"

Soul Guidance Matrix!

This was Luo Yu's true goal. The Soul Guidance Matrix was something with powerful prospects. If Su Yu remembered correctly, the soul power bearing technology used in the Eternal Heaven of Dou III was an ultra-micro Soul Guidance Matrix!

That was the result of miniaturizing the Soul Guidance Matrix countless times. If the Soul Guidance Matrix could be added to the Number Two Experimental Subject, then Number Two could immediately solve the soul power problem. To put it bluntly, if this problem were truly solved, even an ordinary person could start Number Two for combat, provided their body could withstand the recoil force of Number Two.

"This..." Jing Hongchen hesitated. He knew what the Soul Guidance Matrix of Mingdu meant, and he also knew what it would mean if Luo Yu's idea were to succeed.

But this idea was too bold, and the things involved in this matter were too vast—so vast that Jing Hongchen could not decide on his own!

"Let's put this matter aside for now. After all, the things involved in this matter are too great. Without His Majesty's permission, we simply cannot realize it. So, Luo Yu, I have no certainty that it can succeed, unless..." Mentioning His Majesty, Jing Hongchen thought of one person, someone who could inherit the Sun Moon Empire in the future.

His Highness the Crown Prince, Xu Tianran.

"Teacher, are you talking about His Highness the Crown Prince?" Luo Yu knew Jing Hongchen's plan, but he did not want to deal with that brilliant madman, because he could not let Xu Tianran suspect that he wanted to steal the Soul Guidance Matrix technology.

Once Xu Tianran became suspicious, the chance to get close to Xu Tianran would be greatly reduced, and he might even be sentenced to death...

"Let's discuss this matter in the long run..."

Jing Hongchen sighed and stopped dwelling on it.

"Then we can only use another path to replace it for now, and that is to research a new type of soul power storage Soul Guidance Device. Things like Milk Bottles are no longer suitable for large-scale Soul Guidance Mecha." Luo Yu nodded and handed over the second notebook.

"This is my design concept and plan for the new Soul Guidance Device. Teacher, do you see any shortcomings?"

"No, leave the subsequent matters to you. As for your proposal, I will consider it as appropriate." Jing Hongchen looked at the notebook and became more and more alarmed as he read. He could not believe that Luo Yu could still create this kind of new-style Milk Bottle—let's call it a Milk Bottle for now.

"Then I still want to continue participating in the underground Soul Guidance Competition. After all, the final prize is a Level 9 Soul Guidance Device, Teacher..." Luo Yu remembered that rich final reward and naturally did not want to let that treasure delivered to his door slip away.

"Go, go. However, do not fall for the Holy Spirit Cult's schemes. Once you are brainwashed by them, you will become their puppets and slaves. You must be careful." Although Jing Hongchen knew they would not dare to lay a hand on Luo Yu, he still wanted to remind him.

…………

Mingyue Hotel, where the Tang Sect Battle Team was located.

In the previous competition, there was still a conference room available, but this time, because of the Tang Sect's identity, they could only squeeze into Huo Yuhao or Bei Bei's room to hold combat meetings.

"Everyone, share your thoughts on the Sun Moon Battle Team today?" Bei Bei asked the group.

He Caitou spoke seriously: "As of now, the Sun Moon Battle Team has only had four people appear from start to finish: the Agility Attack System Battle Soul King Leiqier, the Defense System Soul Engineer Jing Peng whose current soul guidance level is unknown, the combat-style-shifting Lu Jiuyu, and the Xiao Hongchen we are familiar with. Although some of their strength cannot compare to those from the previous session, I feel they are stronger than those from the previous session because I see the shadow of our Shrek Inner Court in them."

"Yes, they are even more terrifying than the people we encountered in the last session. What makes me feel even more threatened is that Luo Yu, who has never made a move from start to finish. According to the Sun Moon Battle Team's own description, Luo Yu once fought Su Yu to a draw, and that was under the condition of being at the same level!" Xu Sanshi's smile disappeared; he knew now was not the time to joke.

Huo Yuhao also smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying: "There's no way around it. Because of his family, Su Yu doesn't intend to compete at all. And you all know about the situation in the Star Luo Empire; with Su Yu's current state, sigh... forget it, let's talk about our plans. We don't have many substitute team members; in fact, it can be said that once we get injured and lose our combat effectiveness, it will have a huge impact on the battle situation. So, everyone must hide their strength well now. The more we show, the easier it is for people to see our flaws. Since the Sun Moon Battle Team has provided us with a template, why don't we follow their lead?"

Bei Bei smiled and said: "Yu Hao, you mean to only let four people make a move? The others will serve as hidden trump cards. Even if they understand the four of us who appear, once we participate in the team competition and the Two-Two-Three Battle Strategy, it will be a new kind of coordination, right?"

"Something like that. After all, our chances of winning were not high to begin with, and we don't know anything about those people from the Sun Moon Battle Team. I have no other choice; otherwise, why would I be learning and selling on the spot." Huo Yuhao smiled bitterly. Having lost Su Yu, he could finally understand the immense pressure Su Yu faced as the captain during the previous tournament. Moreover, the previous Su Yu had single-handedly led a group of Soul Kings and Soul Ancestors into the finals!

Su Yu, if you were here, what would you do?

This was not only the inner voice of Huo Yuhao and Bei Bei, but also the inner voice of everyone in the entire Tang Sect Battle Team...

Su Yu……
