Chapter 889: Entering the Universe, New Armor: 'Sun-Gripping Dragon Armor'
Xiao Jin knew the deep meaning behind the increase in mineral prices and the changes in limited quantities, but he did not expect this to happen so quickly.
Although it is still in the initial stage and there is no complete restriction on sales, they have to prepare for the long term as they need to import large quantities of minerals and energy.
Fortunately, after years of hard work, they have laid a very complete industrial foundation.
This city of steam and steel is the symbol.
Here even large steam-steel battleships can now be built.
Now it’s time to take this one step further.
The steam engine, the heart, is still too bloated. Replacing it with a lighter and more efficient heart can further accelerate the development of the island.
In fact, this matter had already been included in Quan Yi's plan, and the situation on the mainland was just a factor in the advance planning.
Xiao Jin smiled and gave a very calm command:
“A new research group was established to specialize in the design and manufacture of internal combustion engines.
I will be personally in charge of this group.”
Xiao Jin now has another burden on his shoulders, but as the representative of the ultimate gold, the research and development and testing of internal combustion engines is not a difficult task for him.
Under Xiao Jin's leadership, a dedicated research institute for internal combustion engines was quickly established within the Blacksmiths Association.
What's even more terrifying is that this research institute successfully manufactured a simple four-stroke reciprocating piston internal combustion engine in less than a week.
All the materials and skills are already mature here. What they lack now is the inspiration to integrate all of them and fully unleash the potential of the craftsmen.
And this part, Quan Yi can provide some guidance.
In order to match the new internal combustion engine, a new car model came into being.
After combining and experimenting with the two, they found that there was no need to prepare large amounts of coal and water. Only a box of purified fuel was needed to drag weights that a steam engine of the same volume could not drag.
At this point, the steam engine that had shone for nearly ten years was obscured by the bright light of the new star.
The internal combustion engine became the new darling of the Blacksmiths Guild.
At a time when the Blacksmith Association was quietly undergoing tremendous changes, the cliff where Quan Yi was located would steadily erupt with at least two thunderstorms every day.
After a week, Quan Yi finally forged all the parts.
"Boom!"
The last thunderbolt dissipated, and Quan Yi's figure appeared in the dissipating thunderclouds.
At this time, his whole body was covered with majestic and ferocious dragon scale armor.
The whole body is purple-red and gold in color, and each component fits tightly together without any gaps.
However, the entire set of armor seemed to be breathing, automatically absorbing the surrounding air and energy into it.
Compared with the slightly bloated Red Dragon Burning Sky Armor before, this new set of armor maintains a sense of power while presenting an overall streamlined curvature.
Even the huge propulsion box behind him disappeared.
Quan Yi was inside the armor, feeling the armor absorbing external energy and converting it into its own energy. The data of various parts were displayed to Quan Yi through the transparent crystal steel screen in the eye area of the hood.
Although, with the help of mental connection, Quan Yi can sense the status of the armor just like he senses his body.
But holographic projection is a man's romance, and how could Quan Yi miss it?
Quan Yi, who was inside the armor, did not need to use his dragon pupils. The crystal steel in his pupils shrank automatically, magnifying the things in front of him.
"Xiao Jia, plan a scheduled launch channel, target space!"
Looking at all the gorgeous data and pictures flowing before his eyes, Quan Yi's blood began to boil along with his armor.
At this moment, a young child's voice filled with a unique mechanical sound came from inside the head armor.
“In compliance with instructions, the shortest distance corridor will now be constructed.
The energy inside the armor has been stored.
All parts of the armor are in good condition.
The shortest channel screen has been constructed and is now projected onto the screen.
All preparations are ready, do you need automatic driving? "
"No, I want to do it myself."
Quan Yi decisively rejected this.
The mechanical voice did not ask any more questions, "Okay, please enjoy this voyage, Master."
With Xiaojia's cordial greeting, Quan Yi took over control of the armor, thrusters appearing on the palms of his feet and hands.
At the same time, the streamlined armor on his limbs and torso opened outwards, revealing the miniature thrusters inside.
The thrusters recast by the current Quan Yi can easily withstand the scorching heat of the Xuan Yang True Fire, and can compress and amplify the flames.
Although Quan Yi is not using the power of his martial soul and soul bones now, this set of armor provides him with a blessing that is no less than the previous two.
The expressionless and stern helmet faced the sky, and white flames burst out from the thrusters.
Amid a huge roar, the purple-red golden armor turned into a humanoid rocket and quickly rose into the sky.
"boom!"
A sonic boom occurs on the surface of the mecha as it breaks the sound barrier.
The flying speed of the golden armor easily surpassed the speed of sound.
In a flash, Quan Yi's figure turned into a black dot and disappeared into the air.
At this moment, Quan Yi felt the acceleration of gravity rising sharply, and the pressure on his body was also increasing.
He could have used the armor's gravity-regulating ability to offset the acceleration, but he deliberately enjoyed the reaction force brought by the extreme speed and kept strengthening it.
The sky was filled with a large amount of pure energy, but the tranquility here was completely disturbed by the loud noise released by the armor.
The violent vibrations spread outward with Quan Yi as the center.
As he continued to climb, the planet's gravity could no longer drag Quan Yi.
The blue sky gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep darkness that even the farsightedness of the armor goggles could not see the bottom of.
The noisy sound of breaking air in my ears suddenly became silent the moment it exceeded a certain limit.
“This is outer space!”
Quan Yi was in the vast universe, in a space without gravity and sound, and he expressed his feelings.
At this moment, a myriad of emotions and perceptions surged in Quan Yi's heart.
He looked down at the blue planet and the bright giant fireball in the distance - the sun.
Obviously these images already existed in my mind, but the scenes I experienced in person were completely different from the images in my mind.
“Congratulations, Master, for successfully entering the space environment.
The armor's energy reserves only have ninety-nine percent remaining.
The power of the sun has now been detected, and the armor is absorbing the power of the sun on its own to replenish the consumed energy.
The armor has adapted extremely well to the space environment and physical examination results show no abnormalities.
Do you want to enable the adaptive gravity function? "
"Turn on."
The earth-attributed patterns inside the armor flickered, and Quan Yi's weightless body returned to its state on the ground under the influence of the internal patterns.
On the outside of the armor, the gaps in the dragon patterns flickered with golden-red fluorescence. The unimpeded sunlight from outer space shone on the purple-red and gold surface of the armor. The power of the sun that passed directly through the vacuum state was pulled in by the armor in large quantities.
The energy consumed in the ascension is restored in an instant.
Looking at the sun in the distance, Quan Yiqing couldn't help but stretch out his hand and make a gesture of shaking hands.
"This set of armor is called 'Sun-Gripping Dragon Armor'."
