The Essence of Spirit Artifacts

Type 1130 CIWS.

It's an 11-barrel, 30mm rotary cannon close-in weapon system, equipped with 11 barrels and 2 ammunition bins, capable of locking onto over 40 targets simultaneously.

Its maximum rate of fire is 11,000 rounds per minute, or approximately 183 rounds per second.

Of course, he couldn't use the radar, fire control system, aiming system, infrared tracking system, and other functions involved.

Even if he wanted to, he didn't know how long it would take to achieve spirit resonance.

Compared to the Type 1130 CIWS, an 11-barrel, 30mm Gatling gun would be easier to implement.

It could even be scaled down to 7 barrels.

A rate of fire of several thousand rounds per minute against area targets would be sufficient.

More would be a waste.

"The target is clear, so..."

Gu Jinlai's thoughts churned.

The last ray of Pure Light was directly injected into the small consciousness figure sitting cross-legged on the Green Lotus.

The next moment, the structural composition of osmium-iridium alloy flashed rapidly in his mind.

Osmium, an element in Period 6, Group 8 of the periodic table, symbol Os, atomic number 76, relative atomic mass 190.23, melting point 3045°C, boiling point 5027°C, density 22.59 g/cm³, hexagonal crystal structure, parameters a=273.44 pm, b=273.44 pm, c=431.73 pm, α=90°, β=90°, γ=120°, Mohs hardness 7...

Iridium, symbol Ir, atomic number 77, atomic weight 192.22...

This information flickered in his mind for only three seconds, after which his thoughts shifted to the Type 1130 CIWS.

Instantly, the information he had previously shared about this close-in weapon system flooded back.

Under his precise recollection, the bullet craftsmanship, gunpowder technology, and industrial structure were rapidly understood and memorized.

"I'll put aside the fin-stabilized discarding sabot armor-piercing rounds, radar, electronic equipment, and related systems for now..."

Countless images flashed like lightning.

The craftsmanship involved was beyond Gu Jinlai's capabilities.

An ancient society with no industrial foundation manufacturing a Type 1130 CIWS?

It was a joke.

The bullets alone would require immense effort.

Instead of putting effort into the CIWS, it would be better to build a Gatling gun and then acquire a bullet production line.

His thoughts shifted, and various pieces of information about this type of machine gun were unearthed from every corner of his memory.

This machine gun, widely used on attack aircraft, helicopters, armored vehicles, and gunboats, had even more comprehensive information in his mind than the Type 1130 CIWS.

However, even so, the steps were still not detailed enough.

"If heaven could give me a chance to return to Earth, I would definitely study hard and learn diligently."

Gu Jinlai deeply understood the truth of the saying, "Mastering science and engineering opens doors everywhere."

No!

It was a fundamental truth!

After his mind finally formed a vague impression of the Gatling gun and its bullet craftsmanship, the Pure Light dissipated.

"The information isn't detailed enough,"

Gu Jinlai said.

However, it was correct that it wasn't detailed.

It would be strange if the data for national strategic weapons like the Type 1130 CIWS were thoroughly researched.

"Compared to the Type 1130 CIWS, the manufacturing process for the 6-barrel, 7.62mm 'Thunder' Gatling gun is actually easier to achieve in the short term. Its common rate of fire is 2,500 rounds per minute, with a maximum rate of 6,000 rounds per minute. Its range of a kilometer is a bit short, but it's enough for killing elite soldiers with average Body Tempering cultivation."

Even someone at Core Condensation could only cross fifty to sixty meters in a second during an outburst.

And outburst speed was different from normal speed.

It would take at least ten seconds for someone at Core Condensation to cross a kilometer, during which time the 'Thunder' Gatling gun could unleash over a thousand rounds at him.

"The key is that, compared to the massive size of the Type 1130, this 6-barrel Gatling gun is more portable for me."

Gu Jinlai already had a plan in mind.

Build a Gatling gun.

In addition, create a portable model of the Type 1130 CIWS and spend a long time in spirit resonance.

Details?

Fire control system?

A mature spiritual artifact must learn how to grow into what its master desires.

Gu Jinlai began preparations for the crafting of his new equipment.

As his casting platform was just starting to operate, Lingxiao City's Commander, Fang Que, had spent considerable effort obtaining intelligence from the Meteor Guard's West Division.

Although Gu Jinlai had involved all the Meteor Guards in the operation to hunt down the Wang family disciples, it was still impossible to ensure everyone kept their mouths shut and leaked not a single detail.

Therefore, upon learning that Gu Jinlai had brutally killed Wang Dongyu and the two Wang family Core Condensation experts who rushed to his aid, the Commander's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Didn't they say Gu Jinlai had fallen from the Spirit Refining realm? How could he turn the tables and take control of the West Division under the siege of so many experts?"

"A Wang family Core Condensation expert secretly controlled a Meteor Guard, using threats and bribes, and finally got the Meteor Guard to speak. According to that Meteor Guard, although Old Demon Gu is not a Spirit Refining expert, he still maintains powerful combat strength, no less than a peak Core Condensation expert."

Standing before him was his capable assistant, Jiang Qing, who was also a Qi Refining to Core Condensation expert.

He said with a solemn expression, "According to his account, not only is Old Demon Gu powerful, but his eldest disciple, Su Nanxing, also possesses combat strength comparable to a peak Core Condensation expert. The Wang family's Core Condensation expert, Wang Duanliu, died by his sword."

"Su Nanxing..."

Fang Que knew of this person.

Gu Jinlai's eldest disciple.

He had indeed achieved Core Condensation.

He just hadn't expected his combat strength to be so formidable, capable of directly killing the renowned expert Wang Duanliu.

"The two peak Core Condensation experts were held off by Su Nanxing, while Old Demon Gu unleashed his power and killed Wang Dongyu. Once Wang Dongyu died, the Meteor Guards, intimidated by Gu Jinlai's ferocity, surrendered under Zhao Fan's leadership, and ultimately... the West Division fell into this devil's hands."

Jiang Qing said in a deep voice.

Fang Que's expression turned somewhat grim after listening, but he quickly calmed down.

"I clearly warned Wang Dongyu that Old Demon Gu meant trouble, yet they still didn't take it seriously. If the Wang family had sent more than just Wang Duanliu and two other Core Condensation experts at that time, how could this old devil have achieved his goal?"

Fang Que snorted coldly.

"Old Demon Gu not only brought his disciples but also dozens of Gu Family experts. Such a grand mobilization further proves his ambitions are significant."

Jiang Qing said, glancing at Fang Que.

Clearly, he believed that Gu Jinlai's intention was to seize power and replace Fang Que as the Commander of Lingxiao City, thereby restoring Lingxiao City to its rightful place under Starlight City's jurisdiction.

"This meddling fellow! Our Lingxiao City was doing perfectly fine. Under my governance, the Four Seas were peaceful, and there were no conflicts between martial forces. But he just had to come and disrupt our peaceful lives!"

Fang Que slammed his hand heavily on the armrest of his chair, shattering it into sawdust, and roared, "This is simply too much!"

"Sir, everyone is watching us now. If we don't respond..."

Jiang Qing hesitated.

"I originally intended to wait until he achieved nothing in Lingxiao City before sending him back to Starlight City, but I didn't expect him to act so ruthlessly! Hmph! Truly a devil of unorthodox ways!"

A cold glint flickered in Fang Que's eyes. "Even when hunting a rabbit, one must use full strength. From today onwards, we must plan to deal with Old Demon Gu as if he were a Spirit Refining behemoth!"

"Spirit Refining Titan!"

Jiang Qing was shocked.

This level of importance...

It was enough to make any Core Condensation expert proud for a lifetime if it were to spread.

"To encircle and kill a demonic Spirit Refining behemoth, one either needs to deploy three Spirit Refining experts, or ten Core Condensation experts proficient in battle formations and coordination..."

They didn't have ten Core Condensation experts proficient in battle formations and coordination.

But...

If they included the Wang family members, they could muster about ten Core Condensation experts and dozens of Qi Refining and Gang Condensation experts.

"The Wang family has lost three Core Condensation experts and dozens of elite disciples in one go. I refuse to believe they will let this matter rest."

Fang Que stated directly, "Contact the Wang family patriarch! Let's join forces and make Gu Jinlai understand who truly rules the heavens of Lingxiao City!"
