67: Chapter 67 Equipment Upgrade Operation

"Are you all here? Put the stuff over there." She pointed to an empty material platform nearby, her tone concise and unquestionable.

"Time is tight, let's start immediately. First, upgrade the beam sabers and ion cannons; we need these right away, the rest can wait."

Li Yuan hurriedly put down the lightsabers and ion cannons he had purchased.

Yimoku's gaze, like the most precise scanner, quickly swept over these standard-issue equipment and Sai Wei's battle armor.

Step 1: Analysis and Diagnosis - Identifying Upgrade Pain Points

"Standard-issue lightsabers, energy circuit efficiency is low, crystal focusing structure is redundant, the alloy fatigue of the blade is nearing critical... 'Bee Stinger' Type II, energy compression rate is insufficient, cooling system design flaws lead to poor rapid-fire performance..." She spoke extremely fast, precisely listing the flaws of every piece of equipment, making Li Yuan break into a cold sweat.

Her gaze finally landed on the thunder god battle armor, and data streams flashed rapidly in her pupils: "The main structure of the battle armor is intact, but the left arm's energy conduction circuit is 73% burnt out, the rear vector thrusters are overloaded and deformed, and the core energy furnace buffer layer has micro-cracks... Hm? In the original design blueprint here, to pursue instantaneous output, 17% of the structural stability was sacrificed. Stupid."

Sai Wei opened his mouth, wanting to defend the battle armor designed by his family, but under Yimoku's judgment based on pure technology and data, he ultimately swallowed his words, leaving only admiration.

"Let's start the upgrade. Chen Jingyi, assist me." Yimoku said no more and walked to the material platform.

She took a deep breath, and her entire aura changed again, becoming even more... ethereal and focused.

Step 2: Material Upgrade - Matter Dissociation and Recombination!

She first drew dozens of standard-issue lightsabers into the workspace. There was no fire, no hammering; only her hands pressing down into the void, and an invisible, powerful force field enveloped these lightsabers. In the shocked eyes of Li Yuan and the others.

The various parts of the lightsabers—metal hilts, energy exciters, focusing crystals... all components seemed to lose their inherent forms, as if thrown into a furnace, "melting" and decomposing into the most basic material particles. Then, guided by some incredible power, they began to rapidly recombine and reshape according to a brand-new structural model optimized countless times in her mind!

The entire process was quiet and efficient, with only the faint hum of energy flowing. A few minutes later, the force field dissipated, and the brand-new lightsaber parts floated in the air! They were reassembled by Chen Jingyi's engineering robots.

Once assembled, they were more slender and delicate than before, with smooth lines on the hilt and a sense of power. The originally ordinary beam blade now presented a more solid and stable deep blue, with energy fluctuations at the edges that were incredibly sharp, as if they could cut even a gaze.

[High-Frequency Particle Lightsaber] — Born!

Next were the two "Bee Stinger" ion cannons. In the same process, the barrels were replaced with an unknown high-efficiency conductive metal shimmering with a dark silver luster. The internal structure became more compact and complex, the volume of the energy compression device was reduced by one-third, yet the performance was significantly improved.

[Rapid-Charge Ion Cannon] — Modification Complete!

Finally, the main event: Sai Wei's thunder god battle armor. Yimoku did not delay in the slightest, directly completely dissociating the damaged battle armor, removing all fatigue damage and burnt parts. She even called upon several rare metal powders shimmering with lightning and a high-quality energy conduction crystal core from the laboratory's reserves, integrating them into the reshaping process. After being reshaped, the battle armor had a more streamlined appearance, the joint connections became more flexible, and the internal energy circuits shimmered with more efficient and stable light.

thunder god battle armor (Repaired and Reinforced) — Reborn! Performance estimated to increase by 15%!

Step 3: Psionic Empowerment — Surpassing Material Limits!

After completing the material-level reshaping, Yimoku's forehead was slightly sweating, but her eyes remained bright. She adjusted her breathing for a moment, raised her hands again, and silver light, soft yet containing strange law power, bloomed from her fingertips.

She pointed in turn at the newborn equipment.

· Pointing at the High-Frequency Particle Lightsaber: The deep blue light of the blade became restrained, but subtle silver runes flickered faintly on the edge, imbuing it with [Armor Penetration] and [Enhanced Energy Conductivity] properties.

· Pointing at the Rapid-Charge Ion Cannon: A layer of silver radiance flowed over the dark silver metal of the cannon body, and the internal core seemed to be injected with vitality, gaining [Rapid Cooling] and [Slight Range Increase] empowerment.

· Pointing at the thunder god battle armor: Silver light seeped into every inch of the battle armor's metal, especially the energy core and conduction circuits, granting it [Energy Buffer Optimization] and [Slight Lightning Affinity Increase] effects.

The entire empowerment process was like the final touch, allowing these already transformed pieces of equipment to seem instantly endowed with a "soul," and the energy fluctuations they emitted climbed another level!

Throughout the entire process, Chen Jingyi had been using the Daoyan Military Nexus to manufacture engineering robots, assisting with the disassembly of the equipment and the assembly after the upgrade. The engineering robots manufactured by her Daoyan Military Nexus talent greatly improved the efficiency of the upgrade and optimization.

Yimoku glanced at Chen Jingyi with some surprise, and then appreciation appeared in her eyes. No wonder the academy kept dragging Chen Jingyi to do this and that; she was indeed useful.

Step 4: Technical Testing

With all upgrades complete, Yimoku let out a soft breath, her face slightly pale, clearly having expended a great deal of energy. But looking at her work, her eyes were filled with satisfaction.

"Go to the testing area." She was concise.

Everyone moved to the dedicated testing area next to the laboratory. Li Yuan couldn't wait and moved his mind, summoning an ordinary Light Guardian. It stepped forward and skillfully picked up an empowered High-Frequency Particle Lightsaber to test it.

Activation normal! Usage normal! Power increased by 200%! Energy consumption reduced by 20%!

The deep blue blade hummed steadily and deeply, emitting a heart-palpitating sharpness.

Next, the ion cannon was tested. The Rapid-Charge Ion Cannon mounted on the Guardian's shoulder locked onto a high-speed moving target in the distance. "Shoo—shoo—shoo!" A three-round burst with almost no interval hit accurately! The charging speed was nearly twice as fast as before!

"Teacher Yimoku!" Li Yuan excitedly grabbed Teacher Yimoku's hand, "I have a few other ideas, can you help me refine them?"

Teacher Yimoku was made somewhat embarrassed by his exaggerated reaction and coughed dismissively: "It's just basic operations..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was pulled to the side by Li Yuan. I just heard from the air:

"Aren't you just deceiving people with this?"

"No, this won't do, this violates the Human Alliance Weapon Safety Convention."

"No way, no way, I'm not going to get arrested for this, am I?"

"No!"

Teacher Yimoku's scream.
