Chapter 321: Chapter 162: The Spirit Cultivator’s Stone Plate [Seeking Monthly Votes]_2
"Why has your spiritual energy increased?"
"Everyone!"
Wang Jixuan’s figure swayed, leaving behind two afterimages, and he appeared outside the circle of elderly men.
He reminded them, "Let’s focus on today’s priority first. If there’s an opportunity later, we can find a place to brew tea and discuss further, but today, we really are limited on time."
Zhou Zhengde quickly explained, "There’s an ongoing battle outside, and soon we’ll have to face eight King-level Blade Beast Groups attacking from six directions simultaneously. We need to make use of our time to train the Half-human Mecha Team in new tactics!"
The group of elderly men looked disappointed but expressed their understanding.
Fu Jian said, "Later, let Director Chen give the introduction. Please, everyone, take out the stone plates you’re each responsible for researching and arrange them in order."
Several top research scientists turned around and began to get busy.
For the sake of secrecy, they also had to do some manual labor.
Soon, a total of one hundred and twenty stone plates were placed on steel frames.
Each stone plate was 33 centimeters long, 20 centimeters wide, and 5 centimeters thick, each bearing simple bas-reliefs. Some of the reliefs seemed to represent an ancient script, while others were parts of a picture.
The director of the D5 Military Research Center, Chen Wuchou, a medium-height, gentle-faced old professor, gave a brief introduction:
"These stone plates are made of a very special material that is also very hard to destroy. We went to great lengths just to cut off a tiny corner to test, and the results showed that the molecular structure inside is quite ordinary, almost like... clay? Mud?
"Yet, the stone plates have some unbelievable properties.
"Fifty years ago, the Commander brought these things back, and I was one of the interns in the research team at that time.
"I clearly remember that Spiritual Ability City once tried to retrieve these stone plates at any cost. Later, to deceive them, we developed a new material that mimicked the properties of the stone plates, and we blew up a fake plate right in front of them... Those brainless folks actually believed it and stopped looking for these plates.
"In fact, according to our estimates, even using a tactical nuclear bomb would not completely destroy these strange objects.
"They can even be sent to the surface of the sun without melting."
Wang Jixuan nodded, his eyes behind the helmet showed a hint of confusion.
He had never seen these symbols before.
He could definitively say that these objects had no relation to his home in the Cultivation World.
However, the use of spiritual energy, or Qi, must have some commonalities.
Fu Jian said, "Give Black Storm some space, everyone else go to the conference room and wait, Zheng De, go and get some hot water for these elders."
"Alright, Grandpa, this way please, everyone!"
Zhou Zhengde quickly got into gear, beginning to receive the researchers’ ’courtesy accidents’ level of praise.
A projection screen popped out of Fu Jian’s mechanical arm, he slid it slightly, and a dozen autonomous robots in the corner of the warehouse were activated and commanded to move forward.
Director Chen, with his hands behind his back, tried to observe Wang Jixuan’s expressions and eyes but was obstructed by the helmet.
Wang Jixuan asked, "Have you spent decades just researching the material?"
"Not exactly," the white-haired Director Chen said with a confident smile, "it’s just that there were too many people just now, inconvenient to display... General, may I?"
"What else?" Fu Jian replied somewhat irritably, "Did I bring you here today just to drink hot water?"
A dozen autonomous robots moved forward to work, swapping positions of the stone plates with individual labels and lifting several steel frames to align side by side.
A grayish-white incomplete wall appeared in front of Wang Jixuan.
Time-worn yet pristine as new.
The wall, slanting due to the angle of the steel frames, was largely intact except for two missing corners. At first glance, it resembled a three-dimensional map with its peaks and intricate structures.
But when Director Chen, holding a powerful flashlight, crouched behind the wall and shone it towards the center of the wall...
The light seemed to pass through a thin layer of gauze, and two meters in front of the wall, a three-dimensional projection appeared.
Wang Jixuan saw a delicately dynamic tableau.
The main subject was a shimmering sea surface, waves washing over a silver-white beach, with two discs, large and small, hanging on the horizon, and a towering silver spire visible in the distance.
Director Chen called over an autonomous robot to hold the flashlight steady; he was over seventy years old and, filled with excitement, rushed back in front of Wang Jixuan.
"Look! A completely new projection technology! A technological route completely different from our human technology!"
Wang Jixuan:...
No, this thing obviously contains some kind of array!
How did it become about projection technology?!
He asked, "What about other research findings?"
"Uh," Director Chen said with an embarrassed smile, "that’s all we have. Other research avenues hit a wall, and researching this object has actually been stagnant for over thirty years. We distributed it to a few trusted labs for tackles, but there was no follow-up..."
Fu Jian asked, "Can you make anything out of it?"
"It’s an artifact of Spirit Cultivators, and it’s quite important."
Wang Jixuan cautiously enveloped the object with his Spiritual Sense, carefully sensing it while casually responding:
"Since we all know that the church where the Six Elders are trapped is situated over the remnants of the Spirit Cultivators, and you seized this object from them, and they highly value it, it must be very important."
Fu Jian nodded.
Director Chen furrowed his brows and asked, "Wait, if we all know this... why don’t I know? General Fu Jian, have you been withholding information from me?"
Fu Jian cleared his throat, "The remnant of the Spirit Cultivators beneath the residence of the Six Elders was discovered just over a decade ago, I haven’t had the chance to share it with you, as we know next to nothing about the Spirit Cultivators."
