DD2—Chapter 26: Jet Engine
"Wait, Hall Master! I don't think we should give Yuhao an artificial soul bone," Xuan Ziwen immediately interrupted Jing Hongchen's actions.
Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao was stunned. He thought to himself, Could it be that Teacher Xuan, the man who joined the Tang Sect to study soul guidance devices in the original novel, has some objection to him getting an artificial soul bone?
Could it be that Teacher Xuan would ask Jing Hongchen to replace the soul bones with rare metals and then immerse himself in the ocean of making soul guidance devices?
Thinking about the plot in the original novel where Huo Yuhao returned from outside and was asked by Teacher Xuan to achieve some advancements in soul guidance devices, otherwise he would not be allowed to go out, Huo Yuhao felt a headache.
"Oh? What do you think, Teacher Xuan?" Jing Hongchen showed enough respect for the chief researcher of Illustrious Virtue Hall.
Xuan Ziwen replied, "I think the quality of artificial soul bones is too poor. Instead of giving Yuhao artificial soul bones, it is better to give him a ten-thousand-year soul bone that can enhance his soul skills. This way, Yuhao's potential can be better utilized."
The method of making artificial soul bones is very simple. Take the secret soul bone, for example. Just find one hundred soul beasts of the same kind, kill them all within one hour, and then use the secret method to pull them together. There is a 10% chance of obtaining a soul bone.
The quality of this method of soul bone is indeed poor, but the chance of obtaining it is much greater than that of other soul bones, and it also has the characteristics of fusion.
"The ten-thousand-year soul bone that enhances Yuhao's soul skills?" Jing Hongchen felt somewhat helpless. "The ten-thousand-year soul bone is fine, but the soul skills attached to it can only enhance the spiritual detection and sharing. This request is too difficult to achieve."
"Yuhao is a child with ideas, and his soul skills have undergone qualitative changes. He will become a powerful soul engineer in the future and deserves strong training from the academy.
His first soul skill, spiritual detection and sharing, if further enhanced by soul skills attached to the soul bones, would make Yuhao the god of war!
If some fixed-type soul-guidance artillery shells with particularly long ranges were specially made for him, then Yuhao might be able to stand in Mingdu, directly aim at the Star Dou Great Forest, launch fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells, and bomb the Star Dou Great Forest!"
Xuan Ziwen's face showed excitement. He had no objection to the concept of bombing the Star Dou Great Forest; he just thought such soul-guidance shells would be very interesting.
Huo Yuhao was stunned and wondered what kind of intercontinental missile theory this was!
However, given the technological capabilities of the natives of Douluo Dalu, they should not be able to produce something with such a long range! Even if he could point out such an outrageous thing, his detection range was not enough. The distance between Star Luo City and Mingdu is too vast!
Teacher Xuan is worthy of being the man who created the Ice God Armor together with Huo Yuhao. He has ideas!
However, where can he find a strange soul bone that can enhance the range of his first soul skill?
"It seems that your reasoning makes some sense. Yuhao is only a one-ring soul master, and his detection range is already 1,200 meters. What if he becomes a Titled Douluo?
Moreover, he can also share this soul skill with others. Hiss, maybe Yuhao can elevate the soul engineer group to another level. A soul engineer group with several extremely long ranges and high accuracy is scary to think about," Jing Hongchen and Xuan Ziwen's brains aligned at this moment.
Although he felt that launching artillery shells from Mingdu and accurately attacking the soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest was indeed a bit ridiculous, this might be a suitable path for Huo Yuhao.
"However, it is a ten-thousand-year soul bone, and the soul skills that come with it are aimed at enhancing the soul skills that the soul master already possesses." Jing Hongchen suddenly had a headache.
He felt that such soul bones were hard to find, perhaps only in the royal treasury. However, the chances of securing permission from His Majesty to enter the treasury to search for soul bones were very slim.
So, he looked at Yuhao. "Yuhao, what do you think?"
Huo Yuhao's expression slightly shifted. "I think Teacher Xuan's idea is very interesting, so I have an idea to extend the range of fixed-type soul guidance shells. I call this idea 'jet engine!'"
"Jet engine?" Jing Hongchen was a little confused.
Xuan Ziwen on the side didn't understand either, but that didn't stop him from looking forward to Huo Yuhao's thoughts.
Huo Yuhao explained to them the working principle of the Douluo Continent version of the jet engine. In the Douluo Continent, soul power is an omnipotent energy source, so soul power can replace the fuel used in engines. As for the steps of engine operation, they would all be managed by the core magic circle.
He believed that as long as the soul engineers of the Sun-Moon Empire were willing to work hard, they could create a Douluo version of the jet engine, thereby extending the range of the fixed-type soul guidance shells.
"I see. This is indeed a good idea. Yuhao, you are a natural soul engineer." Xuan Ziwen looked at Huo Yuhao with admiration. "One of the difficulties will lie in how to store soul power. It seems that I have to make a sealed container as soon as possible. Maybe if I continue this research, I can fire a fixed soul guide shell from Mingdu to the Star Dou Great Forest."
"Yuhao, I will report to Master Kong and ask him to assign some soul engineers to study jet engines. I will also explain to Master Kong the soul bone problem mentioned by Teacher Xuan."
Jing Hongchen recognized the strategic significance of this jet engine. Whether the fixed-type soul-guided artillery shells could hit the target accurately was one thing; whether they could hit them from a distance was another. First, they had to tackle the range problem and then study the accuracy issue.
"Of course, I will not forget to give you your reward. Although the artificial soul bone is of low quality, you can consider selling it in exchange for rare metals." Jing Hongchen immediately presented all the promised rewards to Huo Yuhao.
Among these rewards, the so-called artificial soul bone is the right leg bone of the Mystic Soul, and the 400,000 gold soul coins are distributed in the form of universal cards.
As for the rare metals worth 100,000 gold soul coins received every month, they are rare metals the size of five or six tables, which are very suitable for making first-level and second-level soul guidance devices.

In the Divine World (God Realm)...
Tang San stood in the clouds with his hands behind his back, his face somewhat gloomy. "Who on earth is interfering with my plan? Xiao Qi has already entered school, but she has not yet met that rising star. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case."
"What went wrong? Anyone who can interfere with my plan must at least have the strength of a God King. Otherwise, as the Asura God and the Sea God, I would have noticed it!"
"Is it the forbidden land of God? Or is it the God of Destruction that guy? Or is it the two gods of goodness and evil?"
Tang San had many suspects, and he considered the God of Destruction to be the most likely culprit hindering him.
After all, the guy in the forbidden land of God had been in a sealed state, and the two gods of goodness and evil had always maintained a good relationship with him; otherwise, they would not have surrendered the center of the God Realm to him.
However, precisely because he controlled the core of the divine world, the God of Destruction had always been at odds with him. The other party's philosophy leaned toward expanding the divine world, while his philosophy was more conservative.
