Afterwards, Xia Haoxuan took Gu Yuena downstairs to find his wife. He had been serious about finding her a teacher.
His wife was a Grade Seven Designer, more than qualified to teach Gu Yuena at her current level.
Although Gu Yuena very much wanted to say it wasn't necessary, considering the current circumstances, she still agreed.
It wasn't bad to study design with a high-level designer here. After all, she couldn't really go pick up a forging hammer... Well, at least not for now.
After the others left, Li Yucheng watched Huo Yuhao examining the soul tool he had given him and smiled. "Can you tell what it does?"
He had already prepared to explain it to Huo Yuhao. This was one of his research projects. After three God-Slaying Grade soul tool cannon shells had consumed a large amount of rare metals, that type of soul tool had become extinct. Someone who hadn't studied it couldn't possibly recognize it.
Huo Yuhao looked at the soul tool's structure for a while, even using Spiritual Detection, before saying: "This is a spirit power amplifier manufactured using the internal structure of Diamond Refined Gold as a reference! The material is Thousand-Forged Blue Gestation Copper."
Li Yucheng: "..."
Who would come and take away this soul tool prodigy!
His gaze became complex in an instant. "Your breadth of knowledge is certainly wide enough. But the spirit power amplifier became extinct several thousand years ago. Why are you studying it..."
At this point, Li Yucheng suddenly remembered the Silver Moon Douluo that Huo Yuhao had mentioned earlier. He thought thoughtfully: "You want to incorporate a spirit power amplifier into a Lifebound Soul Tool?"
"How is that possible." Huo Yuhao chuckled and shook his head. "The function of a spirit power amplifier is to be installed on soul tools below Grade Nine, raising that soul tool by one grade. If a Lifebound Soul Tool only remains at Grade Eight, it would be better to just use a Grade Nine soul tool. I've just read some related materials and have a passing understanding."
The original spirit power amplifier had no grade of its own. But because it could raise a soul tool's grade, it was also called a Grade Nine soul tool that wasn't Grade Nine.
Its core material was Diamond Refined Gold, extracted from the rare metal Refined Gold. This material had excellent spirit power conductivity and could also amplify spirit power fluctuations through its internal compact refraction structure.
However, its capacity as a core was limited. Even this metal could not amplify the power of Grade Nine or higher soul tools.
Li Yucheng thought for a moment and also felt that Huo Yuhao was unlikely to be after this type of soul tool.
Diamond Refined Gold could not have its grade raised through forging, because its greatest strength lay in its internal structure that could amplify spirit power fluctuations and forging would only destroy that structure.
This was also the reason why the "spirit power amplifier" had been phased out in the present era. Not to mention that its core material, Diamond Refined Gold, was equivalent in value to a Grade Eight soul tool moreover, it could not improve its quality through forging, so it naturally had no advantage.
For Huo Yuhao to have been after this type of soul tool before, unless he had already understood the internal structure of Diamond Refined Gold and used other materials to manufacture it just as he did but even he himself could not do that, so it was obviously impossible.
"However, this is still a valid method. As you can see, the soul tool I gave you is a spirit power amplifier manufactured using Blue Gestation Copper which also has excellent spirit power conductivity and can have its quality raised through forging by the internal structure of Diamond Refined Gold."
Li Yucheng looked at Huo Yuhao and revealed a wry smile. "It's just that because the replication of Diamond Refined Gold's structure is not perfect enough, it can currently only amplify the power of Grade Six soul tools at most. What I hope is that it will eventually be able to improve the performance of Grade Nine soul tools surpassing the spirit power amplifiers of the past!"
"Unfortunately, my spiritual power level is not good enough I can't compare to a Grade Nine Mecha Manufacturer. But you can, Yuhao. Are you interested in taking over the research in this area?"
"If your future Lifebound Soul Tool can reach Grade Nine, plus the blessing of this spirit power amplifier, it could immediately rival a Grade Ten soul tool! And with your talent, it's not impossible to study an amplifier that can enhance Grade Ten soul tools."
Li Yucheng stared intently at Huo Yuhao, as if looking at a rare treasure.
Over these many days, he had already understood why Huo Yuhao was improving so quickly in his secondary profession.
That kind of extreme focus, that state of physical and mental unity was something only Grade Nine Manufacturers could achieve. Yet Huo Yuhao seemed to be born with it.
He was a natural-born learner of manufacturing!
Huo Yuhao lowered his head in thought for a moment, then looked up and said solemnly:
"President Li, thank you. I will do my best to accomplish it."
He had indeed been after the spirit power amplifier before. Even at his peak, he had disassembled quite a few pieces of Diamond Refined Gold, using his Divine Origin realm spiritual power to thoroughly etch its structure into his memory.
After all, the spirit power amplifier could raise a soul tool's grade by one level. If it weren't for the fact that it could only Grade Eight soul tools at most, this thing would be a universal amplifier. If he could study it through and through, many soul tool technologies could advance.
But ten thousand years ago, there was no Thousand-Forged forging. And for Blue Gestation Copper to be effective, Thousand-Forged was the foundation. Now things were different. With the appropriate materials and the prototype that Li Yucheng had manufactured, once he returned to a sufficient level, he could complete this soul tool even innovate beyond it.
Technology, after all, is constantly advancing. President Li's research project has already given me a pleasant surprise. In the past, soul tools that could only be made with Diamond Refined Gold now have other manufacturing methods. I wonder what surprises the association headquarters, the Spirit Transmission Tower headquarters, and Mingde Hall will give me?
Thinking this, Huo Yuhao looked at Li Yucheng. Three spirit rings suddenly appeared beside him. He smiled and said:
"Actually, I think you should try it yourself first, President Li. After all, this is your research topic."
Li Yucheng was about to shake his head when he felt a wave of spiritual fluctuation. He frowned, then accepted Huo Yuhao's spiritual fluctuation.
Instantly, everything around Li Yucheng became clear. When Huo Yuhao focused his gaze on that spirit power amplifier, its various structures and subtle points of disharmony were all exposed before his eyes.
Li Yucheng's eyes suddenly widened. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Th-this is..."
"This is my first spirit ability," Huo Yuhao said. "Spiritual Detection and Sharing."
Hearing this, the shock on Li Yucheng's face did not diminish. He murmured, "This is simply the spirit ability best suited for a Mecha Manufacturer!"
In that moment, he really wanted to say: Yuhao, when you're old, can you leave your first Spirit Soul to my family? Let my descendants burn paper and tell me the news then I will die without regrets!
But on second thought, Huo Yuhao's Spirit Soul had definitely come from the Spirit Transmission Tower. Perhaps the Spirit Transmission Tower still had more of them. Li Yucheng simply asked directly:
"Yuhao, name your price. As long as you tell me what kind of spirit beast produces this spirit ability, I can give you a satisfactory price."
He was not a spiritual attribute spirit master. He might not be able to use this Spirit Soul. But that didn't matter. Perhaps one of his descendants would mutate and gain a spiritual martial soul? He could just keep the Spirit Soul and pass it down to them.
Huo Yuhao was silent for a moment, then said:
"Ice silkworm — but it was mutated."
Skydream counted as mutated, right?
Li Yucheng's expression froze. "Ah? That ice silkworm clan that is a negative boost for any spirit master except those with spiritual attributes?"
In the Sea of Spirit, Skydream and Little Ice Silkworm were collectively outraged!
