Chapter 551: Refining Equipment is as Fast as Possible

"How could Zhang Yu refine so quickly?"

Looking at the information sent by Su Yunni, Jin Jun's first feeling was disbelief.

"It's come to this in just over a month? You really don't care about your dignity anymore."

At this moment, Jin Jun was extremely suspicious of the authenticity of Zhang Yu's achievements.

He had seen this kind of thing too many times in many laboratories of the Equipment Refining Department. Some people were only barely qualified, but they hired powerful assistants to do most of the work, pushing the quality and speed to the limit, and then signed their own names in the end.

"Zhang Yu's level should still be somewhat good, at least he can refine a Level 1 prototype, but there is absolutely no way he can do it in just one month with just two people."

"He must have spent a lot of money and hired a large team to assist him."

Jin Jun made a mental judgment: "Only in this way can we achieve this in just over a month."

"By releasing this kind of news...are you trying to disrupt our morale?"

But Jin Jun had to admit that he was indeed disturbed by Zhang Yu.

He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled. The magic power in his body flowed, and a stable heart of Tao gradually calmed his thoughts one by one.

Jin Jun understood that the key reason why he was so easily provoked was that he had invested too much this time.

"Nearly half of my wealth has been invested in this project. If it fails, not only will it be difficult to recover the funds, but it will also be a huge blow to my reputation as a weapon refiner."

When Jin Jun thought about the possibility that if he failed, others might add notes in their communications such as "the person who was defeated by the civil engineering transfer student", he seemed to see that it was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain loans, funds, and investments, and he was struggling on the path to immortality.

"Never give up."

No matter who is helping Zhang Yu behind the scenes, Jin Jun has no intention of giving up.

In particular, he understood that after the first-level prototype was refined, the next step would be to repeatedly improve the prototype and gradually raise its level.

"At this stage, it all depends on Zhang Yu's own level."

"If his refining skills haven't reached level 11, no matter how hard he works or how much money he spends, he won't be able to upgrade his prototype to level 11."

"If he were to seek out a substitute at this point, he would definitely not pass the review."

"I've been accumulating technology in this area for so long. Based on the current debugging parameters, once this prototype is assembled, it will be able to reach level 5 in one go."

"My future advancement will definitely be faster than his."

Thinking of this, Jin Jun gradually calmed down.

Of course, although he calmed down, Jin Jun didn't intend to do nothing.

"Even a lion will fight a rabbit with all its might. This project has cost me so much spirit coins and time. I will never accept failure."

So that day, Jin Jun mortgaged his Dharma body and organs to further maximize the loan, and then used the spiritual coins he received to rent more advanced refining equipment. He also invited a Jindan-level teacher to give him one-on-one guidance, giving him advice and filling in the gaps in the process of refining.

In addition to speeding up himself, Jin Jun also planned to cause some trouble for Zhang Yu and slow down his speed.

He just sent out a message.

Jin Jun: Brother, I have something to trouble you.

…

Inside Ye Xingli's laboratory.

Zhang Yu was surrounded by a surge of gravitational force that had already fixed the prototype machine in mid-air.

At the same time, streams of magic power shot out from his hands, mixed with the material powder prepared by Zi Yunzhen, and injected into the refining equipment on the side, and then turned into layers of restrictions and hit the prototype machine.

As the number of restrictions accumulates, the high-temperature resistance of the prototype is gradually strengthened.

Zhang Yu knew that in order to upgrade the prototype, he would need to repeatedly stack restrictions on the mana circuits inside and outside the machine to improve various performances. He would also need to optimize the runes, refine the materials, and increase the upper limit of the mana core...

In addition to the enhancement of basic attributes, additional functions are also required.

For example, if the current level 1 prototype machine wants to be upgraded to level 2, a new skill module must be installed to give the prototype machine the ability to control fire.

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "The Level 1 prototype has already left interfaces for various functions. All I need to do is improve and add modules."

"And to achieve this, my drawing level needs to reach a certain level."

I glanced at the Tianrihuang Shen prototype machine level 1 on the feather book (6/10)

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Now, every time I refine the entire prototype, it not only enhances its basic attributes, but also allows the progress in the Feather Book to advance by 2 points with the help of the Refining Prodigy."

"Once I push the blueprint to level 2, I'll have enough technical expertise to add the fire control feature, which is only available at level 2, to the prototype."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu's movements in refining the prototype machine became faster and faster. The magic power in his body and the materials around him were like they were free, and he madly attacked the prototype machine in front of him.

Zi Yunzhen's eyelids twitched as she watched this scene, and she couldn't help but ask, "Boss, isn't this too fast?"

In Zi Yunzhen's opinion, refining equipment is not the fastest the better, especially when learning and refining at the same time. Every step must be thought through and the gaps must be made up in order to make progress while refining.

In Zi Yunzhen's opinion, Zhang Yu's operation of madly increasing speed with his eyes closed was too wasteful of materials and too expensive, and might not necessarily lead to much progress.

Zi Yunzhen thought to herself, "Refining weapons doesn't mean the more times you refine them, the stronger they become..."

Zhang Yu thought to himself, "Refining weapons requires practice. The more times I practice, the higher my weapon-refining skills will be, right?"

Seeing Zhang Yu ignoring her, Zi Yunzhen couldn't help but say, "Boss, what's the point of being so fast? You can't just focus on speed. Your current performance is too weak compared to Jin Jun's team. The judging panel will look at your thinking, not just the number of times you refine."

"I hope that in your subsequent work, you can incorporate your thoughts into your daily reports, differentiate yourself, and develop your own core competitiveness."

"Keep working hard, boss! If you can grow, I'm willing to reduce my salary so you can have more funds to advance the project."

Looking at Zi Yunzhen, who was beginning to promise her employees salary cuts, Zhang Yu couldn't help but think to himself, "What the hell... When I was an employee, my boss promised me a pay cut, and now when I'm the boss, my employees are promising me a pay cut?"

"Kunxu is such a shabby place."

Seeing Zi Yunzhen about to say more, Zhang Yu waved his hand to stop her. "Yunzhen, I'm a little disappointed with your performance. I originally invited you to join my project team because I hoped you could delve deeply into the field of Tianrihuang Shen and become the most professional assistant in this field."

"I won't explain to you why I need to speed up. I want to give you a chance to grow, to force you to think, to explore, and to find the answers."

"I know that at such an accelerated pace, you still need to grow, and it's going to be very stressful for you. But growth always comes with pressure, and when you're under the greatest pressure, that's often when you grow the fastest."

"In the future, you will be so grateful for this stressful time now, as it will be an important stage of transformation in your life."

After calming her down, Zhang Yu continued to increase his speed, quickly making it harder and harder for Zi Yunzhen to keep up. He could only frantically force himself to speed up! Speed up! Speed up again! Gradually, he had no time to think.

She felt like she was desperately chasing Zhang Yu on the track. She tried her best and ran until she was exhausted, but she could only watch Zhang Yu's back getting farther and farther away from her.

Just when Zi Yun was completely unable to keep up, she saw Zhang Yu suddenly stop.

"I'm going to the spirit world. Yunzhen, you continue to prepare."

Watching this scene, Zi Yun really felt that Zhang Yu seemed to have stopped on the runway, allowing her to seize the time and gradually catch up.

Feeling this, Zi Yun was filled with shame: "I've dragged down the efficiency of the entire project team..."

At the same time, Zhang Yu had already escaped into the Taiqing Realm, started the weapon refining simulation, and continued to practice in the Taiqing Realm.

Different from the weapon-refining skills that can only be practiced in reality, Zhang Yu has been able to improve the levels of various weapon-refining production skills, that is, the levels of mastery of various magic weapons and magic skeleton drawings, through repeated practice of simulation functions in this Taixu illusory world.

"The refining process in the laboratory can be regarded as leaving a mark on my work while refining the prototype."

"Taking advantage of the gap, a little improvement in the Taiqing Realm will increase the blueprint level faster."

Zhang Yu estimated in his mind: "If we keep making progress on both fronts, I estimate that in another month or two, I can upgrade the prototype to the 11th level of foundation building."

Just when Zhang Yu was working hard in the laboratory every day, suddenly a piece of news appeared in front of him.

…

In the spiritual world.

Zhang Yu looked at the Taoist figure in front of him, who looked like a mechanical assembly, and said, "Teacher Gui Yuanzi, what can I do for you?"

The Taoist glanced at Zhang Yu and said calmly, "Why didn't you come to the recent history of refining technology?"

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned and said, "I have asked for leave..."

Gui Yuanzi said coldly, "I don't remember ever approving your leave."

"Well, I'll give you a chance now. You have to make up for the classes you missed one by one, otherwise you won't be able to pass this course this semester."

After saying that, Gui Yuanzi left behind a spirit of primary intelligence and began to give Zhang Yu an online class at 1.0 times the speed, then he left and disappeared.

Zhang Yu was slightly stunned, and sent a message to the other party asking for leave, but was only scolded by the other party.

Gui Yuanzi: What leave are you asking for? Who allowed you to ask for leave casually?

Gui Yuanzi: Don’t think that you can avoid studying history just because you want to work on a project.

Gui Yuanzi: If you haven’t even learned the history of technology well and don’t know the ins and outs, how can you study technology?

"This guy..." Zhang Yu looked at the spirit in front of him who was taking classes and thought to himself, "Is someone deliberately trying to mess with me again?"

Just then, Zi Yunzhen sent a message: Boss, the materials are ready, when will you come back?

Zhang Yu replied: You continue to prepare the materials, I will come back after I finish the things on hand

Then Zhang Yu thought about it and sent messages to Feng Tingting, Ye Xingli and Zhang Pianpian respectively. He wanted to find out what this Gui Yuanzi was up to.

After some inquiries, Zhang Yu roughly understood what was going on. He browsed through the address book and finally looked at Feng Yuhan.
