Lu Mengchen suddenly covered her mouth and screamed: "How is this possible?"

She had often played with this piece of heavenly crystal stone when she was on the planet Tian, ​​but she had never known that the heavenly crystal stone would be deformed due to the cold. It was completely beyond her expectation.

"Normally, things expand when heated and contract when cooled. Could it be that this thing is hard when hot and soft when cold?" Han Feng was surprised.

"Yes, Sky Crystal has this property. It becomes soft when it gets cold, and becomes hard again when it gets hot. Moreover, it can withstand temperatures of nearly a thousand degrees. Under such high temperatures, its hardness can easily cut through the shell of a giant insect."

As Lin Tao spoke, he rubbed his hands vigorously, then pressed again, and then stretched the Sky Crystal Stone to both sides. The soft Sky Crystal Stone was immediately pulled out to the thickness of a piece of paper.

"Brother Han, take it." Lin Tao threw a piece of sky crystal stone to Han Feng with his right hand, asking him to catch it. Then he turned his right hand into a palm knife, circulated the energy in his body, and slashed fiercely at the end that was as thin as a cicada's wing.

With a hissing sound, the sky crystal stone was broken into two pieces on the spot.

"This kind of sky crystal stone, even if it is as thin as a piece of paper, can't be broken by ordinary things except the Qi power of ancient martial arts practitioners." After Lin Tao finished speaking, he gently rubbed the sky crystal stone in his hand into a blade-shaped strip that was two fingers thick and fifty centimeters long, and then used the power of Qi to separate it.

"Brother Han, let's cut the Sky Crystal Stone into small pieces while it's still soft." Lin Tao gestured to Han Feng.

Han Feng nodded.

Both of them were ancient martial arts practitioners who had cultivated Qi power. It didn't take long for them to divide the sky crystal stone into twenty long strips. At the end, there was still a small piece left, but it was not enough. Lin Tao gently kneaded the remaining piece into the shape of a small dagger and handed it to Lu Mengchen.

"Give it to me?" Lu Mengchen took it with confusion.

"Take it, maybe it can save your life at a critical moment." Lin Tao said.

Hearing this, Lu Mengchen's eyes turned, but he said: "Lin Tao, can you change it to something else?"

Lin Tao hummed, somewhat surprised.

"I remember you have a black bead that can resist the power of mind. Can you give it to me?" Seeing Lin Tao frowning, Lu Mengchen laughed again and said, "Lin Tao, just consider it as me exchanging the Sky Crystal Stone with you, okay?"

Lin Tao frowned secretly, and with a thought in his heart, he took out the iron scorpion's bead. Lu Mengchen quickly snatched it away, and then stuffed the dagger-shaped sky crystal stone into Lin Tao's hand: "Take it, we have exchanged it, and you can't regret it."

Without knowing the power of mind thoughts, the effect of the Sky Crystal Stone is much better than the Iron Scorpion's beads, but Lin Tao understands that if it weren't for Lu Mengchen, he might not be able to get the Sky Crystal Stone.

After putting the sky crystal stone dagger on his waist, Lin Tao and Han Feng processed the twenty sky crystal stone long blades again, which is the so-called sharpening.

Due to the special nature of the Heavenly Crystal Stone, the process of sharpening it can only be done using the warrior's Qi. Moreover, due to the temperature recovery during the process, it has to be cooled down using refrigeration equipment before it can be smoothly sharpened, so it still takes some time.

When all the sky crystal stone blades were successfully sharpened, Lu Mengchen picked up a blade. She flicked her finger lightly on the blade and heard a clanging sound. She couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Lin Tao, can this cut open the shells of those strange insects?"

"Mr. Lu, didn't you hear what Lin Tao said? We still need a temperature of one thousand degrees." Han Feng said, then turned to look at Lin Tao: "Lin Tao, next, how do we make these blades reach a temperature of one thousand degrees?"

Lu Mengchen also looked at Lin Tao in confusion.

Lin Tao smiled slightly, then raised his watch and dialed a number.

The call was connected, and Peng Haokong's voice came from the line: "Brother Lin, what do you want to talk to me about?"

At this time, Peng Haokong was receiving training from the second speaker Kong Yuming. If Lin Tao had not approached him, he might not have answered the call.

"I need a batch of tools." Lin Tao briefly explained the functions of these tools. They are shaped like knife handles and can generate a high temperature of one thousand degrees in a short period of time.

Hearing this request, Peng Haokong was stunned for a while: "Brother Lin, if you want to make it into a knife handle, I alone can't do it."

"You decide what kind of people are needed. I need twenty-one high-temperature tool handles. The sooner the better. If possible, I want to see the samples today." Lin Tao said.

Hearing that time was urgent, Peng Haokong immediately left Speaker Kong Yuming's classroom and hurriedly transferred a group of people over. Fortunately, in the evening, he finally handed in 21 samples.

After inserting the long blades of celestial crystal into the handle one by one, Lin Tao pressed the switch. Not long after, as the temperature rose, the blades of celestial crystal suddenly turned red, like red-hot chrome.

The scorching heat rose from the blade, and Lin Tao suddenly broke out in a sweat.

Lin Tao ignored the hot sweat on his body, raised the long blade in his hand, and chopped it down at the giant insect's body. There was a hissing sound, and a long gash was created on the giant insect with red patterns on the spot.

Crash!

The giant insect's internal organs, which had long been shattered, flowed out from the gap.

Since the giant insect had been dead for a long time, its internal organs had already emitted a strong odor. When Lu Mengchen smelled it, he almost vomited on the spot. Although Han Feng was a military man, the sudden scene made him feel uncomfortable.

"Lin Tao, can't you just give me a reminder?" Han Feng complained.

After Lu Mengchen reacted, his brain waves condensed and turned into a huge force, hitting Lin Tao: "Lin Tao, you bastard!"

It must be said that the power of Lu Mengchen's thoughts was as strong as a small mountain. The blow shook Lin Tao's body. If this power was not non-hostile, Lin Tao would have vomited blood at this moment.

Even so, Lin Tao still frowned.

After the giant insect's internal organs flowed out, Lin Tao ignored the bad smell and pulled the body again, quickly separating the skin.

"Brother Han, get someone to arrange for two Extreme Wind Phoenixes to come over immediately." Lin Tao said as he quickly separated the giant insect's skin.

"The Extreme Wind Phoenix? Lin Tao, this Extreme Wind Phoenix is ​​not a mind-controlled machine, what's the point of it coming over?"

Ever since he learned about brain-powered machines, Han Feng has not been very optimistic about non-brain-powered machines. When he heard Lin Tao's words, he couldn't help but feel confused.

"The terrifying thing about giant insects is not only their ability to evolve by devouring others, but also their skin. Although the skin of giant insects is solid, it is extremely soft and cannot be used alone. Therefore, it is usually used in combination with materials from other star creatures." Lin Tao said.

Han Feng finally understood and quickly had two Extreme Wind Phoenixes sent over.

Just after Lin Tao separated the skin of an entire giant insect, two Extreme Wind Phoenixes finally arrived.

Since the giant insect's skin was to be used on the brain-powered body, Lin Tao did not cut it up, but simply draped the skin on the Extreme Wind Phoenix.

After everything was ready, Lin Tao signaled to Han Feng: "Brother Han, try to fly another Extreme Wind Phoenix to attack it."

Han Feng flew onto the Extreme Wind Phoenix and immediately launched all effective attacks on the Extreme Wind Phoenix in skin. However, after one round of attacks, it stayed where it was.

The fierce attack seemed to be ineffective, and not even a scratch could be left on the giant insect's skin.

After reacting, Han Feng was extremely excited. However, just as he got out of the cockpit and hadn't spoken yet, Lin Tao said to Lu Mengchen again: "Use your mind power to attack."

After a pause, Lin Tao continued: "Use your greatest strength to attack."

Lu Mengchen nodded, and with a buzz, the power of her mind suddenly turned into mind waves, and slammed towards the Jifeng Phoenix fiercely.

The power of her mind had reached 14 points. When she struck the Extreme Wind Phoenix, it was like a huge hammer hitting it, causing a loud bang.

But even so, the Extreme Wind Phoenix covered in giant insect skin still stood there without any change.

"Everything is fine? How is this possible?" Han Feng saw it and couldn't help but stretch out his hand. His brain power was not as strong as Lu Mengchen's, but his brain power had already taken shape.

That is a fire force.

Like a spark, the flame fell on the giant insect's skin and instantly turned into a raging fire, burning non-stop as if it wanted to turn the Extreme Wind Phoenix into ashes.

Five minutes later, Han Feng also withdrew his brain power, and before Lin Tao could speak, he had already rushed forward.

The skin of the giant insect still did not change at all. Unwilling to believe in evil, Han Feng peeled off the skin of the giant insect, revealing the Extreme Wind Phoenix inside. However, the surface temperature of the Extreme Wind Phoenix was normal, and after being hit hard by Lu Mengchen, it was not damaged at all.

"How come this layer of skin has such defensive power?" Han Feng was shocked.

Lu Mengchen was also surprised. As a person with the power of mind, and having been practicing mind waves, she naturally knew the power of that hammer-like attack. But after such a blow, the Extreme Wind Phoenix under the giant insect's skin was not damaged at all. This showed that the giant insect's skin could not only resist attacks, but also disperse attacks from the outside world.

Lin Tao smiled slightly, and after the high-temperature Sky Crystal Knife in his hand cooled down, he threw it to Han Feng: "Brother Han, please help organize a group of people to separate the skins of these giant insects. I will let Peng Haokong and others produce some brain-thinking machines in a short time for the second phase of the experiment."

…

New capital star.

Conference room in the Capital Building.

"Tiger, this is the intelligence we have collected recently." Speaker Yue Hong used his watch to throw a piece of information into the air.

Ever since Lin Tao learned about the giant insect, they immediately organized people to search for the whereabouts of the giant insect. It must be said that the parliament's strength is much stronger than Lin Tao's Mingyuan Star. In less than two days, they collected a lot of information.

However, these pieces of information were all obtained through the disappearance of the information collection personnel, which made Chairman Yue Hong look very ugly.

Chen Huyuan looked at the intelligence information in the air, and his face became more and more gloomy the more he looked.
