Chapter 571: Design completed, simulation test (Thanks to 'Mubai Jinyu' for feeding Fuji and forming an alliance)

The testing location is in a university that is about the same distance from all the top ten universities.

Zhang Yu was led into a closed room and waited for the test to begin.

During this period, let alone the judges, he didn't even see any of the other contestants.

Until the test officially began, as the test content and rules appeared in his eyes, Zhang Yu felt that his connection with the spiritual world was suddenly severed.

“Is it required to disconnect from the Internet during the test?”

Zhang Yu looked at the test rules and found that it was indeed written that it was impossible to connect to the public network of the spiritual world during the test.

However, the competition organizers provide a local spiritual network for use, where you can check the reference materials prepared by the organizers.

After scanning the test rules, Zhang Yu looked at the specific test content.

He summarized his thoughts in his mind and thought to himself, "Well, I need to design a magic weapon that can search for items, store items, pick up items, and transport items in a complex terrain where lightning and fire are constantly falling..."

"After the design is completed, a simulation test of the magic weapon will be carried out in the spirit world."

"The more items you pick up and transport within the specified time, the better your score will be."

Zhang Yu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the introduction of the test site under the spiritual world simulation.

It was an area of ​​about 10 square kilometers in a simulation of the spiritual world, including sand, forests, lakes and other different terrains.

The magic weapon designed by the contestants is to search for designated items in such a complex terrain and transport them to different designated locations.

Zhang Yu looked at the items that needed to be searched and transported. In addition to the spheres, cubes, cylinders, and cones of various colors scattered throughout the test environment, there were also some designated plants, bamboos, and stones, various medicinal materials, minerals, plants, and even liquids and gases in designated locations.

Looking at these specific requirements, Zhang Yu thought to himself, "This magic weapon must be able to resist lightning and fire."

“It must have the ability to move at high speed in complex environments.”

“It also needs to be able to retrieve objects of different colors, shapes, and appearances from complex backgrounds.”

"And then it needs to be able to pick up and transport objects of various shapes, even liquids and gases..."

The more Zhang Yu read these requirements, the more serious his eyes became. "The last and most crucial point is that the cost must be kept below 30 spirit coins."

After summarizing these requirements in his mind, Zhang Yu sighed in his mind: "This test is simply testing the test-taker's basic skills in refining magic weapons."

"The magic weapon's mobility, detection, load-bearing capacity, transportation, durability, and cost... if any one of these aspects fails, the results will be disastrous."

“It’s very difficult even for me.”

Zhang Yu did not start designing the magic weapon immediately, but instead built a plan for the next work in his mind.

He understood that relying solely on his existing basic design abilities wouldn't guarantee a top ten spot.

"But fortunately, I have extraordinary talent, and with the help of Tiangong Kaiwu and Lingyun Qixin, I am just right for use here."

While thinking in his mind, Zhang Yu flipped through the reference materials provided by the organizer and found that in addition to the relevant information on various refining techniques, there were also drawings of various magic weapons for reference.

"From the reference materials provided by the organizers, they also encourage the contestants to learn while competing. They don't expect us to rely entirely on what we have accumulated in our heads from beginning to end."

Zhang Yu had already begun to form an idea: "First, I'll filter the blueprints to find the various magical weapon blueprints that meet the test requirements. Then, I'll use the Spiritual Rhythm Instrument Heart to fuse the blueprints and obtain the one that's most likely to achieve a good score on the test."

"Then we use Tiangong Kaiwu to optimize and correct any flaws in the design."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu nodded slightly: "The most important thing now is to choose the blueprint."

Zhang Yu understood that the Lingyun Heart weapon had a limit on the number of times it could be used within a certain period of time.

After all, every time he uses this talent, he consumes the inspiration in his brain.

According to his own attempts, he could only use it a dozen times at most in a period of time. The more he used it, the more his thinking became rigid, and it became difficult for him to operate the spiritual instrument. It often took several weeks of rest to fully recover.

"After I finished designing the Wind God Semi-Skeleton Work Power Boots, I haven't used the Spiritual Rhythm Instrument Heart since then."

"Using it ten times now shouldn't be a problem."

Zhang Yu understood that since the number of times the Lingyun weapon core could be used was limited, the selection of the fusion blueprint had to be very particular.

“Similar types of drawings are more likely to produce good results.”

"But if they're too similar, what's the point of merging them?"

Zhang Yu understood that he had to control the timing himself.

Six hours passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Yu finally completed the design at the last moment.

He rubbed his swollen and dizzy head, and a satisfied smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

…

In a meeting room in the spirit world.

The figure of Zhenjun Xianyin emerged, and in front of him, the spiritual projections of several other judges also fell one by one.

Nie Lian Zhenjun of Tianmo University said calmly, "Everyone, the design drawings of the 15 contestants have been completed and have been collected one by one."

"Next, the True God will conduct a spiritual world simulation and complete simulation tests of 15 magic weapons in the spiritual world environment."

"This test was conducted in strict accordance with the principles of fairness, impartiality and openness and in accordance with the test rules."

"From beginning to end, everything from the students' design process to the judges' conversations and scoring will be recorded."

"I hope you will do your best to select outstanding talents for Kunxu."

"Let me make this clear. No matter how the students perform, no matter what bigwigs are backing them, if they're okay, they're okay. If they're not okay, they're not okay. With me here today, no one can mess around in this design competition."

Listening to what True Lord Nie Lian said, True Lord Xian Yin always felt that the other party had something in mind, as if he was talking about the matter between True Lord Ci Ji and Zhang Yu.

However, at the moment, Master Xianyin had no confidence in Zhang Yu. In addition, there were countless righteous gods around him recording the video from all angles, so he didn't dare to speak carelessly.

Xianyin Zhenjun could only think to himself, "Ci Ji, you'd better teach Zhang Yu a lesson. He should at least get him into the top 10. Otherwise, he'll be embarrassed in front of other universities and the Heavenly Court."

The next moment, with a flash of light and shadow in the conference room, the simulation test officially began.

The conference room in the entire spiritual world seemed to move instantly, and in the blink of an eye it arrived above a mountain forest.

True Lord Xianyin lowered his eyes and saw a stretch of sand not far from the forest, and then a lake not far from the sand...

This complex terrain with a radius of ten kilometers is the test environment simulated in the spiritual world.

At the same time, True Lord Nie Lian said, "The first magic weapon to be tested was designed by Leng Wuya from Tianjian University."

Leng Wuya's design drawings appeared one by one in front of the judges.

Xianyin Zhenjun glanced around and thought to himself, "Flying sword?"

The next moment, countless objects appeared out of thin air above the test site.

Then, as if it had been accelerated hundreds or thousands of times, the refining process was completed at an incredible speed, and the flying sword in the design drawing was displayed in front of everyone.

With a slight whooshing sound, the flying sword broke through layers of sound barriers and glided across the sky above the test site with a roaring thunder.

Although there were bolts of lightning and fire falling from the sky from time to time, they were all easily dodged by the flying swords.

Tianzhi Zhenjun from King Kong University commented: "With multiple layers of restrictions, a sky-breaking blade, and electromagnetic thrust, this flying sword can maintain supersonic cruise for a long time."

At the same time, the flying sword fell to the ground with a whoosh and began to fly at high speed near the ground.

Xianyin Zhenjun praised: "The anti-gravity design, coupled with the adaptive flight control, has a very strong evasive ability. It can fly close to the ground and search for targets even in complex terrain."

The next moment, sword energy shot out from the flying sword, engulfing the cubes.

Watching the sword energy engulf a large number of cubes before suddenly slowing down and flying towards its target, Netherworld University's True Monarch Bloodfall said calmly, "Sword and energy merge—is this a manned technology? Using it for cargo transportation is completely uneconomical."

The True Lord of Erosion of Bone University shook his head and said, "After all, flying swords are fine for reconnaissance, but they're not for transporting goods."

Tianzhi Zhenjun guessed, "They probably want to rely on speed to transport goods more frequently. However, they don't have a terrain memory system, so they have to re-detect it every time, so the transportation frequency is too low."

Xianyin Zhenjun thought to himself, "Although the transportation aspect isn't outstanding, at least all the functions have been completed, so a passing grade is fine."

As the test ended, the judges present gave scores one by one. There were five judges in total, and each could give a maximum of 100 points. The total maximum score of the five judges was 500 points.

The total score of this flying sword is 322 points.

Next up is a work by a student from King Kong University.

I saw a large chariot rushing across the test site, stimulating the internal energy to break through obstacles along the way, collecting the target items, and finally delivering them to the target location.

True Lord Nie Lian commented: "Use high-strength materials to withstand the lightning and fire, use the maximum capacity and load-bearing capacity to collect as many items as possible, and then transport them to the designated location."

"That's a good idea."

"But the speed was too slow and the adaptation to the terrain was too poor."

True Lord Nie Lian shook his head: "I collected a lot of things, but in the end, I didn't even give away a third of them before the time was up... 65 points, maybe."

As the five judges scored one by one, the final score of the chariot was 329 points.

After a few more contestants, the work of Zang Xingye, a student from Netherworld University, came on stage.

Looking at the contents of the design, Master Xianyin's mind was moved: "Demon Bionic Technology?"
