Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

Strictly speaking, Cao Dezhi was more inclined towards force, and his management ability was not as good as Zhang Huanyun's, so Zhang Huanyun was the leader in decision-making.

Zhang Huanyun looked at Xu Yuan, revealing a satisfied smile.

"You've only been in our legion for a month, and you've already achieved such great results. I can only say that you are indeed his son."

Chapter 445 Cao Dezhi's Opportunity

"Legion Commander, have you met my father?" Xu Yuan asked, looking at Zhang Huanyun.

Zhang Huanyun was the Legion Commander of the Blood God Legion, and the time he had served as Legion Commander here would definitely not be shorter than Cao Dezhi's, at least sixty years.

He actually knew his father, Xu Zhi?

Xu Yuan was also a little surprised.

Because Zhang Huanyun had definitely not been born before his father, Xu Zhi, entered the Blood God Legion.

In other words, Xu Zhi had been to the Blood God Legion?

Although Xu Yuan had not explicitly asked Xu Shengqun, if his father had really been here, or if Xu Shengqun really knew this, then when he knew that Xu Yuan was coming here, Xu Shengqun should have told him.

"Of course, I knew him. Your father studied in the research institute of the Blood God Legion for a period of time, during which he made key contributions to many of our research projects," the dean of the research institute stood up and explained.

A glint flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes.

His father had really been here?

"Unfortunately, your father's knowledge reserves were not very rich at the time. He received initial attention in our Blood God Legion. After serving the minimum number of years here, he left, and then he rose to fame in the Spirit Transfer Pagoda and gradually became the deputy director of the research institute," Zhang Shaoyuan, the dean of the research institute, said with emotion.

Xu Yuan suddenly understood.

His father did not come to the Blood God Legion because he was researching some special project.

It was just that there was really no place to stand out in the early days, so he did not know how he learned of the existence of the Blood God Legion, came here, and successfully joined the research institute, and quickly completed the accumulation of original knowledge with the information here, and quickly enriched himself.

"Your father couldn't cultivate soul power, and his reserves were not much, but he could bring what he had mastered to the extreme. He studied a lot of materials in the institute, which provided us with a lot of development directions, especially a heavy ion ray technology that our institute is still developing. The initial proposer was him," Zhang Shaoyuan exclaimed.

Even after more than twenty years, they had not yet specifically realized this direction that was conceived at the beginning, and Xu Zhi had only made theoretical assumptions from scratch and completed the verification in just one year.

"Heavy ion ray?" Xu Yuan looked at the dean in surprise.

"This is a type of ray that directly penetrates defenses. The threat to any living body is definitely top-notch. It's a pity that your father left early. After completing the theoretical verification, he was eager to leave. We then developed along his route all the way, and now we are only one last step away from truly manufacturing this heavy ion ray soul tool."

Xu Yuan could hear a kind of admiration for his father in the dean's tone.

In fact, Zhang Shaoyuan was able to become the dean because he was Xu Zhi's deputy at the beginning. He was not originally on the scientific research route. He was a serious control-type battle soul master. He was sent by the legion to protect Xu Zhi's safety, and also to solve some research assistants who needed soul power for Xu Zhi.

As the two got along, Xu Zhi discovered Zhang Shaoyuan's creativity, and gradually helped Zhang Shaoyuan establish some basic research thinking. Under years of influence, Zhang Shaoyuan gradually had outstanding research talent.

The most important thing was that he participated in the research process of the heavy ion ray theory developed by Xu Zhi at the beginning, and was able to seamlessly take over this project, and then gradually made contributions. In addition, his soul power also reached the Title Douluo, coupled with the identity and merit of the three-word battle armor master, he became the new dean as a matter of course.

"Penetrate defenses..." Xu Yuan knew about this technology, which only appeared a few times in the original work.

I don't know if there are any defects or something, but this technology seems to have only been used once or twice.

"Theoretically, it can penetrate any defense, but there are also many defects in theory, so we don't plan to publicize it. We will only use it ourselves, so that we can have unexpected effects. Of course, these can only be considered after this soul tool is completely manufactured," Zhang Shaoyuan did not specifically explain its principle, but told Xu Yuan that if he was interested, he could go to the research institute to learn about it.

"Okay, Xu Yuan, tell us about your ideas for this improved soul tool, and also, what do you think can maximize its effect for this improvement?"

Zhang Huanyun signaled Xu Yuan to come forward and explain.

Xu Yuan slowly stepped forward and spoke after careful consideration.

"First of all, the benefits of this technology are obvious. We use the power of the abyss to strengthen ourselves. This can also be regarded as the price the abyss pays for invading us, but there are advantages and disadvantages. That is, the star power converted after the soul tool devours the energy of the abyss creatures cannot actually be directly used to activate the internal magic circle."

If the internal magic circle is changed, and the part that uses abyss energy is changed to the part that converts star power, then there will not be enough space inside this soul tool.

Unless it is made with a higher level of soul tool production, the overall cost will be a higher level, which may be doubled or even multiplied.

Therefore, if you want the soul tool to be able to use that part of the star power, you need to study a new system, that is, the magic circle for the use of star power.

This is like the soul tool magic circle developed by the Blood God Legion for abyss energy at the beginning. It is a brand new beginning and requires a lot of work.

Even if there is experience, it can be easier to develop, but the consumption will only be more and not less, because the essence of star power is higher, after all, it involves the universe, and it cannot be directly contacted and verified, and the difficulty of research is doubled.

"Of course, you can also choose to convert only a small part. After all, I heard that in the use of soul tools, there are indeed many wasted situations. It would undoubtedly be better to thoroughly research the diversion and conversion technology and only convert the energy that would be wasted into star power. These need to be handed over to the seniors in the research institute to help improve."

Xu Yuan looked at Zhang Shaoyuan.

Zhang Shaoyuan had no objection.

"Don't worry, since you have developed this technology to such a mature level, it's just some minor improvements, we will naturally complete it as soon as possible."

"It must be fast!" Xu Yuan said seriously.

It must be fast?

Zhang Shaoyuan looked at Xu Yuan in confusion.

Many other people also did not understand, but Blood One and Zhang Huanyun seemed thoughtful.

"According to my observation of entering the abyss passage this month, and Jiang Wuyue's analysis based on past experience, the abyss tide should be about to break out. The specific time cannot be determined, but it should be this month, or even only half a month left."

Xu Yuan explained to Zhang Shaoyuan.

"What?"

Zhang Shaoyuan was shocked.

He looked at Blood One and Zhang Huanyun, and also knew from the expressions of the two that what Xu Yuan said might be correct, and his heart suddenly sank, and he also felt great pressure.

"So, you hope that this soul tool can be issued before then?"

“It's not issuing, but completing an upgrade, upgrading all the soul guidance weapons of all soldiers with sufficient merit!”

“What? That's impossible!” Zhang Shaoyuan was shocked.

Although merits are very precious, the soldiers wish they could split one into two, they would definitely not be stingy when it comes to upgrading weapons. The reason why they are stingy when using merits is to save them for weapon upgrades and repairs.

Therefore, whenever soul guidance weapons need updated technology, or more advanced technology emerges, the soldiers with enough merit to upgrade their weapons definitely account for half of the legion.

“Why is it impossible?” Xu Yuan looked at Zhang Shaoyun and said calmly, “If there are any problems with forging, I can solve them. How about that? Even if it's not perfected technology, just the technology I'm submitting now, to carry out a half-step upgrade for all the soldiers first, and after the Abyssal Tide passes, you can further improve the technology and complete the subsequent upgrade for the soldiers.”

Zhang Shaoyuan frowned.

He of course understood the meaning of the half-step upgrade Xu Yuan mentioned.

First, let the soldiers experience the benefits of this technology.

Especially in the face of the Abyssal Tide, being able to maximize the use of this technology.

“Regimental Commander, what do you think?” Zhang Shaoyuan looked at Zhang Huanyun and asked.

Zhang Huanyun and Xue Yi exchanged a glance and nodded tacitly.

“Do as Xu Yuan says, all the soul guidance production departments in your research institute will thoroughly understand the magic circle of this technology, formulate a weapon upgrade plan, and upgrade all the old versions of soul guidance weapons in the military camp.”

“As for merits?” Zhang Huanyun paused before continuing in a deep voice, “This upgrade will not require merits.”

“What?” Zhang Shaoyun didn't react for a moment.

No merits needed?

Free upgrade?

Xue Yi Cao Dezhi also spoke at this moment, standing on Zhang Huanyun's side.

“This technology itself represents a brand new future, a future with hope. Since it is a future with hope, then the emergence of this technology must be earth-shattering, making all the soldiers of the Blood God Legion realize that we, the Blood God Legion, are no longer just resisting the Abyss!”

Cao Dezhi's gaze swept over the other eight Blood Gods.

The eight Blood Gods saluted.

“Blood Two, stand ready!”

“Blood Three, stand ready!”

“…”

“Blood Nine, stand ready!”

Cao Dezhi said in a deep voice, “This Abyssal Tide, what we want is not to resist, but to win a great victory, to completely annihilate the Abyssal creatures!”

The nine Blood Gods simultaneously erupted with soul power, and the blood evil aura permeated the entire Blood God Camp, making Zhang Huanyun, the Regimental Commander, feel a chill down his spine.

Zhang Shaoyuan and the two Deputy Regimental Commanders and two Division Commanders were also infected.

The two Division Commanders even stepped forward, expressing their attitude as the words of the Blood Gods fell.

“Blood Division, ready to fight!”

“God Division, ready to fight!”

Zhang Huanyun took a deep breath, looked at the nine Blood Gods and two Division Commanders, and said in a deep voice, “Since that's the case, everyone in the Blood God Camp will have to work harder to investigate the current situation in the Abyss, to ensure that we can make predictions in advance when the Abyssal Tide arrives. The two Division Commanders must also pay attention to the state of the soldiers and prepare for the upcoming war as soon as possible.”

“…”

After a long time, Zhang Huanyun finished his series of arrangements. He looked around and said, “For now, let's do this first. Anyone who has different opinions can raise them, and we can discuss them together.”

No one raised their hand.

No, someone stood up directly, it was Xu Yuan.

“Xu Yuan? Do you have any opinions?”

“It's not that I have any opinions on your arrangements, Regimental Commander, it's just that I have some suggestions.”

“What suggestions?”

“Does the Regimental Commander still remember the principle used in the new type of soul guidance weapon I developed?”

“Of course I remember, isolating Abyssal energy, using the power of Abyssal energy returning to the Abyss to drive the soul guidance magic circle, thereby absorbing the power of the stars.”

“To be precise, it's the first half. The flow of Abyssal energy is the Abyss's own decision, and the power consumed also comes from the Abyss itself. They want to launch the Abyssal Tide, with energy gushing out towards our Douluo Star, this itself is also the flow of energy. Secondly, after the Abyssal Tide, the Abyssal energy wrapped in the heaven and earth vitality returning to the Abyss is also the flow of energy.”

Xu Yuan's reminder gave many people present a vague idea.

“I want to set up a large formation to cover the entire Abyssal passage, utilizing the process of Abyssal energy gushing out and returning. Firstly, to weaken the Abyss in the initial stage of the tide's arrival, laying a good foundation for this war, and secondly, to maximize the opportunities brought by the Abyssal Tide. Danger often represents opportunity, and it shouldn't just be a disaster.”

After Xu Yuan finished speaking, Zhang Huanyun immediately asked, “The soul guidance grand formation is quite different from the soul guidance magic circle for making soul guidance devices. Have you already developed the corresponding soul guidance grand formation?”

“No, that's why I'm making this suggestion here, hoping that everyone in the research institute can expand the soul guidance magic circle into a soul guidance grand formation as much as possible before then.”

Zhang Shaoyuan's scalp tingled a little.

The development of a soul guidance grand formation is not that simple.

The amount of work involved…

Is incalculable.

In just half a month, and also considering the time to deploy the formation, this is simply an impossible task.

“Dean, can it be done? Deploying the formation can be left to me, just give me a day.” Xu Yuan looked at Zhang Shaoyuan, giving some leeway.

Zhang Shaoyuan's eyes moved.

Xu Yuan deploys it?

One day?

“Are you sure you know the amount of work involved in deploying a grand formation?”

“I'm clear on that.” Xu Yuan smiled, took out his mecha to show everyone, and activated the magic circle inside the mecha: “Although the magic circle inside my mecha is still a soul guidance magic circle, its complexity should not be worse than a soul guidance grand formation, right?”

Xu Yuan displayed the inside of the mecha for a moment, then retracted the mecha into his body.

Everyone present were big shots, how could they not know what Xu Yuan had just shown.

What was shocking was not that this mecha was forged entirely from spirit forging, but that the core magic circles inside this mecha were all magic circles sufficient to be used to make Dou Kai!

The amplification effect of this mecha is simply unimaginable.

Definitely stronger than a two-word Dou Kai.

The meeting continued. After the specific allocation of tasks was discussed, Xu Yuan then left the Blood God Camp.

Not long after leaving, on the way, Xu Yuan was caught up by Cao Dezhi.

“General Xue Yi.” Xu Yuan saluted.

“No need to be so restrained. I was also your teacher's captain before. There's no need to be so distant between us.”

Cao Dezhi was a genius of the same era as Yun Ming, and was also a member of the Shrek Seven Monsters at that time. He was also the leader of that generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters. It's just that Yun Ming was even more outstanding and belonged to the soul of that generation of the Shrek Seven Monsters.

However, being able to serve as the captain, Cao Dezhi's talent is also evident.
