At five in the morning on July 13, Huang Ji finally restored one function of the Buddha Bone Finger.
Force Field Deflection Shield!
The tip of the Buddha Bone Finger could project a small zone of powerful electromagnetic force. It could block or deflect anything that passed through it, like a three-dimensional Wuling shield.
It could be as small as a palm or as tall as two meters.
Its color depended on its power output. At the lowest setting, it was transparent; at higher settings, red; at the highest, blue.
The transparent shield could deflect bullets and stop some small shells, but stopping heavy artillery shells required a red shield.
The greater an object's mass and speed, the harder it was to stop.
"I finally managed to restore one function, barely. Too bad the materials are still so poor."
"Right now, it can only produce a red deflection shield. If I force it to produce an orange one, the forty small flow-control modules I made will definitely explode..."
Huang Ji knew exactly how much he had restored without even testing it.
Repairing the Buddha Bone Finger with materials made using Earth's technology was like asking an ancient craftsman to forge a delicate metal piece to replace a missing part in a sports car engine.
It was a stretch. To go any further, he would have to improve the 3D Printer until it could produce more precise parts.
Still, the force field shield was already enough to handle conventional attacks.
To make it easier to use, Huang Ji also completely changed the Buddha Bone Finger's shape.
Shakyamuni had assembled it years ago. Because he had intended to make a human-shaped golden body, this part had been shaped like a finger.
Now Huang Ji took it apart and reassembled it as a
