Chapter 320 The Body for the Theory of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect is Here!

Zhongyuan Heavy Industry, No. 0 Underground Special Grade Materials Laboratory.

A giant holographic projection, thirty meters high, slowly rotated in the center of the cleanroom. It was a three-dimensional blueprint of an array plate with a structure so complex it was dizzying, with densely packed energy conduction circuits and pressure-resistant nodes layered upon each other, like a miniature three-dimensional fortress.

The edge of the drawing is marked with its provisional military code name: [Strategic-level carrier verification: Wanjian main control array disk (scaled version)].

"In the past, the 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source' technique was locked in the highest-level top-secret jade slip of the Array Academy, and even its theoretical deduction was stagnant for a long time."

The chief weapons officer of the Military Industry Department stood in front of the control panel, his voice echoing in the empty laboratory, "The core obstacle hindering our progress is not the lack of exquisite sword techniques, nor the insufficient output power of spiritual energy, but the most fundamental physical impasse—materials."

He raised his hand, and a set of microscopic force models were generated by the holographic projection.

"When multiple high-level flying swords are unsheathed, locked on, and slash at the same time, the resulting 'high-frequency resonance of sword energy' will create an extremely terrifying physical tearing force inside the main control array. The hardest deep-sea silver on Earth will completely collapse its internal lattice and explode into scrap metal when it bears the resonance load of just a few dozen flying swords."

"Without sufficiently strong materials, the myths in the jade slips will forever remain only on paper."

The Dean of the Array Academy stood before the holographic platform, leaning on his cane. Behind him were dozens of array masters, all dressed in the highest-grade anti-static and anti-spiritual pressure heavy-duty suits.

"Because of the fragility of the supporting materials, we never dared to etch the truly core [High-Pressure Domination Array Pattern] into the design drawings in the past." The dean tapped the table. "Once it was etched, even a slight injection of true essence would cause the material to self-destruct because it couldn't withstand the stress inherent in the array pattern. This is a technological gap that the cultivation civilization's killing system has always been unable to overcome."

The old director raised his head and looked at the ultra-precision machining table in the center of the factory.

There, the first palm-sized lunar titanium steel blank transported back from the Guanghan base has been carefully fixed onto the shock-absorbing base by the robotic arm.

It's too small to be used to create a strategic array for actual combat. But the high-pressure lattice it represents carries the hope of the entire cultivation civilization to reshape a quantifiable killing system.

"Attention all units, the trial production of the first-generation 'Wanjian main control scaled-down sample disk' is now commencing." Wang Mingyuan issued the order in the main control room.

"Clearly define the process requirements."

Chief Scientist Lin Feng switched to the communication channel, his voice extremely rigorous: "The most valuable aspect of this sample lies in its unique high-pressure lattice, formed under the dual pressures of the moon's arid environment, space radiation, and the high temperatures of plasma. Conventional remelting and forging methods are absolutely unacceptable. If it were completely melted, this structure, formed under the extreme physical laws of the universe, would completely disintegrate, losing its greatest advantage in pressure resistance."

"The process route has been changed to: retain the original crystal lattice. Adopt local softening, directional hot pressing, and layered forging."

Several "ultra-precision pressure etching robotic arms," ​​which are made by seamlessly integrating heavy industrial machine tools with array techniques, slowly emerged.

"Activate the microwave array to achieve shallow softening of the surface layer."

The robotic arm emitted a dark red, high-frequency heat stream, precisely heating the surface of the palm-sized rough blank to a semi-fluid state, while its internal core structure remained absolutely rigid.

"The array court enters and begins to lightly engrave the surface array patterns."

Twelve micron-sized, eerie blue plasma beams descended simultaneously. The array masters controlled the robotic arms via brain-computer interfaces, carving array patterns several millimeters deep into the softened metal surface.

The metal lattice emitted a subtle hum of resistance at high temperatures, but ultimately, under the forceful cutting of the plasma beam, the [High-Pressure Domination Array Patterns] containing the enormous force-dissipating logic were firmly embedded into the surface structure.

"The first layer of pressure-bearing array pattern was successfully etched, and no fractures were observed in the underlying lattice."

"Prepare to inject the activating primer," the old dean ordered in a deep voice.

For this scaled-down sample plate that embodies the hopes of the entire alliance, ordinary cinnabar or demonic blood essence is simply not worthy of its level.

An extremely precise microcatheter robotic arm probes down.

"Extract 0.1 milliliters of liquid helium-3 and mix it with one drop of Extreme Yang Spirit Liquid."

The precious cosmic-level resources were used in strictly limited quantities. These two violent substances, enough to trigger a small nuclear explosion, were mixed together with extreme care, turning into a wisp of liquid emitting a dangerous, eerie glow. This liquid was then precisely dripped into the newly engraved array hub through the micro-conduit of the robotic arm.

laugh--!

The stellar-level high temperature of the Extreme Yang Spirit Liquid and the fusion potential of liquid helium-3 surged wildly along the micron-scale array patterns the moment they came into contact with the array disk. Instead of exploding, they acted as the highest-level "energy welding wires," forcibly cooling and locking up the active metal atoms.

The white mist dissipated.

A round metal sheet, no bigger than a pocket watch, with a deep dark gray color and a surface covered with fine geometric patterns, lay quietly on the processing table.

"Cooling complete. Internal structure scan complete: 99% physical lattice retention, good array pattern compatibility. Scaled-down master control sample successfully fabricated."

Listening to the report, Wang Mingyuan nodded, his eyes revealing a cold, industrial rationality: "Move onto the heavy-duty testing platform. Conduct a limited-amplitude, small-scale verification of sword energy resonance."

The watch-sized sample plate was transferred by a robotic arm to the heavy-duty testing area deep inside the factory. This was a closed testing range insulated by half-meter-thick explosion-proof crystal. The sample plate was firmly clamped onto an extremely thick special titanium alloy support frame, smelted using the most advanced technology currently available on Earth.

In front of it, instead of displaying real, standard flying swords, there was a small "scaled-down sword array simulator." Thirty-six unsharpened flying sword blanks, intended only for experimental use, were inserted into the simulator.

"Due to the limited size of the sample plate, we cannot directly apply high-power combat loads." The weapons officer stared intently at the data feedback on the control panel. "This test uses limited low-power output to simulate only the high-frequency resonance of the thirty-six basic sword energies."

Even with only 36 limited-amplitude resonances, in the past, surface materials science still considered a dangerous threshold that could easily lead to a furnace explosion.

"Activate psionic connection. Array plate activated."

hum!

The dark gray scale model plate, locked to the support, suddenly lit up with a cold, mechanical blue light. Inside the closed firing range, thirty-six experimental sword blanks simultaneously received command from the main control hub.

Clang—!

Thirty-six low-frequency sword cries converged instantly. Even with power limited, visible white sword energy ripples still surged rapidly within the firing range. The extremely intense resonance traveled along the psionic network, relentlessly reflecting back and bombarding the scaled-down sample plate, which was only the size of a pocket watch.

"The resonant frequency is rising!"

"The pressure resistance data of the array disk exceeds the threshold for the fracturing of deep-sea silver!"

Click!

A piercing metallic crack echoed through the enclosed firing range.

Everyone held their breath. But what broke wasn't the array plate itself, but the thick alloy support that was clamping it tightly!

Unable to withstand the terrifying high-frequency oscillations, the pressure support burst open with dense spiderweb-like cracks, and a large number of metal fragments fell like bullets.

But at the top of the broken support, the scaled-down lunar disc, about the size of a pocket watch, still floated quietly in mid-air.

Within the resonant storm, the [High-Pressure Domination Array] on its surface operates at full power. The dense lattice, formed under the extreme environment of the moon, acts like an extremely powerful microscopic gear set, peeling away and transforming the massive backlash of sword energy vibrations layer by layer, ultimately forming a perfect closed loop.

"The test stand has collapsed! Cut off the psionic connection!" Wang Mingyuan decisively ordered.

boom!

The thirty-six sword blanks, deprived of their psionic power, instantly ceased resonating. The scaled-down lunar sample disk, along with its half-broken support, slammed heavily onto the ground with a dull thud.

A brief silence fell over the entire joint operations room.

Lin Feng projected the secondary perspective data from the scanning drone onto the main screen.

[Strategic carrier prototype (scaled-down sample). After 36 amplitude-limited resonance tests: the sample surface exhibited micron-level shallow thermal decay, but no structural collapse was observed in the internal core lattice, and the array loop remained intact. The scaled-down sample survived this round of resonance.]

Earth's materials, which served as a support structure, crumbled, but this piece of lunar ore, only the thickness of a fingernail, withstood the destructive resonance of the central control system.

"It survived..." The Dean of the Array Court gripped his cane tightly with both hands.

The weapons officer's breathing was extremely heavy, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at the broken support and the sample tray on the ground: "Professor Wang, Earth's existing testing system is already outdated. Even the test bench, pressure support, and vibration platform need to be completely reconstructed. We can't even build a frame to hold it in place!"

Wang Mingyuan's steady voice rang out in the factory.

"The theoretical model has been tested and proven. The 'Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source' strategy has officially entered the stage of being verifiable in engineering, moving beyond purely theoretical deduction. The emergence of lunar materials is not just about filling a gap in the main array disk; it's about pushing our entire high-level killing array manufacturing chain into the next generation."

The reason we couldn't make it in the past was because the material didn't exist on Earth. Now, samples sent from the moon prove once again that this path can continue.

"But this is just a small test piece."

Wang Mingyuan turned around, and the holographic star map unfolded behind him again, illuminating the Earth-Moon network spanning 380,000 kilometers.

"A truly large-scale main control array requires tons of base material for support. The Coordination Agency must immediately reconstruct the Earth-Moon dual-track logistics system."

Wang Mingyuan issued the next phase of dispatch instructions: "The initial overload risk of the interstellar teleportation array is extremely high and it cannot be used for heavy load consumption. Starting today, high-value core blanks, key array disk samples, and isotope fuels selected by the Taiyi Furnace on the lunar surface will be transported back via the interstellar teleportation array in a point-to-point express manner."

"As for the ton-sized lunar rough prototypes, building frameworks, and bulk materials needed to construct the large-scale defense network, we will continue to use the gravity array link and pull them back using the 'Gonggong-class' transport capsule at maximum load. The two tracks will run in parallel, each performing its own function."

Wang Mingyuan's gaze swept over the master craftsmen and military experts present.

"As long as the materials can keep up."

"The 'Return of Ten Thousand Swords' will no longer be just a myth locked in a jade slip, but an industrial entity that we will create next."
