CHAPTER 388: CHAPTER 338: LARGE SUM LIST_1

The Eternal Domain Alchemy Laboratory was essentially a large, unmanned production factory. The items researched and produced here were highly confidential and served as Yan Xing’s leverage in his competition against Cloud Tower.

After strolling through the factory area, Yan Xing arrived at a three-story building in its center.

Beneath this building lay a supercomputer that assisted Chui Chui in verifying and establishing alchemical supercomputing models.

Currently, only one percent of the supercomputing model’s development was complete.

According to Chui Chui’s vision for the supercomputing model, once it reached one hundred percent completion, the energy of all things in the world could be directly utilized. Any magic could be cast in an instant.

However, even that one percent of development progress was already overloading the existing supercomputer, necessitating more powerful units.

Chui Chui’s greatest skill was making grand promises to Yan Xing. And these promises weren’t just enticing; they seemed capable of solving everything. It appeared that once the alchemical supercomputing model was established, solving any problem would be as simple as a thought.

Could it really be that exaggerated?

As a materialist, Yan Xing didn’t believe it. But establishing the supercomputing model definitely had its benefits. The Alchemy Laboratory’s multitude of functions and achievements were all thanks to that one percent of progress.

Buy it. Add the supercomputer to the procurement list. Another huge expense.

After buying these "toys" for Chui Chui, Yan Xing entered the building’s central control room.

After sitting down, he said to Chui Chui, "During the battle in Heize City, you must have witnessed the power of Master Level heroes. If Ironhead hadn’t been so incompetent, the war might have turned out differently. I’m not afraid of Cloud Tower in conventional warfare. But if Cloud Tower gets desperate and deploys Master Level Mages, do we have any way to counter them?"

Yan Xing had always maintained an optimistic attitude regarding his conflict with Marquis Anderson and even Cloud Tower. After all, the Eternal Domain’s development was already well underway, and Thunderous Swamp had been completely secured. They had technology and a source of troops. The longer the war dragged on, the more it would benefit him. Once the Eternal Domain’s military-industrial complex reached its full potential, an Eternal Domain focused on mass troop production would be unstoppable.

However, after truly witnessing the strength of Master Level heroes in Heize City, Yan Xing no longer felt so confident. These beings couldn’t be easily defeated with mass-produced soldiers. Corresponding cutting-edge forces were necessary.

Additionally, in Heize City, something suspected to be an ultimate being had been discovered. This was a power even greater than that of Master Level heroes. Compared to such power, everything in the Eternal Domain seemed utterly insignificant. Even when using Angel’s Descent and Arc Light Blink, Yan Xing could still feel his powerlessness against an ultimate being.

In Thunderous Swamp, Yan Xing hadn’t had time to discuss this matter with Chui Chui. Now, he had to devise a plan to counter both Master Level heroes and ultimate beings. Otherwise, all his investments in the Eternal Domain would go down the drain.

After Yan Xing asked his question, a projector glided along the tracks on the ceiling toward him. Under the projector’s beam, Chui Chui, dressed in ancient attire, appeared before Yan Xing looking ethereal.

The screen on the wall lit up.

Chui Chui opened a folder titled "Super Armaments," revealing a page with images and text. The image displayed a suit of silver Knight armor and a Double-Handed Greatsword. When clicked, the Knight armor disassembled, revealing a cross-sectional view of its components. The room’s lights dimmed, making the diagrams and text on the screen even clearer.

As Yan Xing wondered what this was, Chui Chui began her explanation, "Master, you know that our Magic Integrated Alchemy Technology has already yielded some results. We can etch twenty basic magic circles onto a piece of material measuring one square centimeter, which I call a Magic Chip. Unfortunately, it’s difficult for us to increase the number of basic magic circles etched any further. This is due to our outdated equipment, as well as limitations in our chip design capabilities and material refinement technologies. If we could apply high-precision photolithography to Magic Chips, we could significantly increase the number of magic circles we can engrave. Then, using this technology, we could manufacture the superweapons I’ve designed."

Yan Xing knew that a magic circle was a highly complex magical structure, with extremely strict requirements for the attributes and layout of its magical circuits and nodes. The more potent the magic, the more complex the required magic circle. Chui Chui having etched twenty basic magic circles onto a one-square-centimeter piece of material was already an impressive feat. And now she was even considering creating Magic Chips using a photolithography machine.

The idea was bold.

Yan Xing was quite interested.

"I can’t get you the most advanced high-precision photolithography machine, but I’ll try to find something slightly less sophisticated. Tell me more about this Super Armament."

Chui Chui continued her explanation, "This Super Armament set includes both armor and weaponry, made from a supermetal crafted with Magic Chips. It contains millions of basic magic circles and has a smart core responsible for the operation of all these magic circles. During combat, the smart core will activate the relevant basic magic circles according to the user’s needs to produce magical effects. Theoretically, it could provide a level of combat power enhancement comparable to what you achieve now with my assistance."

Yan Xing knew his true combat level was just barely at the threshold of an Intermediate Level hero. Yet, with Chui Chui’s assistance and her precise calculations of Magic Power, he could exchange several blows with Ironhead, who possessed the power of a Master Level hero.
