Radical Faction

"Yuhao."

Only after leaving the Mecha Master Association and disappearing from everyone's sight did Gu Yuena speak, "Aren't you curious about the research at headquarters?"

Huo Yuhao gazed intently ahead, "I know about their research project."

"Hmm?" Gu Yuena was taken aback, then asked in a low voice, "Did Snow Empress tell you?"

"No, I knew it the moment I saw Ling Zichen. She has the aura of Metal essence, which means they are currently researching related Metal essence and have made some progress."

Gu Yuena's expression changed slightly.

They really are a bunch of research fanatics!

"I initially thought they wouldn't start this research without the technology to extract the source... Yuhao, they definitely want to study Single Source Core, that's forbidden, if this continues..."

Huo Yuhao shook his head. "What they're researching is taboo for the Federation, but it's of great significance to the entire civilization."

The Single Positive Circulation Source Core is an important technology for advancing into the Interstellar Era and is also the scientific research achievement of Ling Zichen in the original work. Now it seems that even if the process is different, he still embarked on this path under the guidance of his parents.

Perhaps it's because of their ancestors?

As for why Gu Yuena said this technology was taboo, it's because research on the Origin was a project strictly prohibited in the Federation.

The Federation already possessed the technology related to the Single Source Core; it was one of the key technologies of the Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell.

The Source Research consumed a large amount of Rare Metal. The three Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell even depleted the entire Federation's metal reserves at the time. Technological progress stagnated for over Thousand Years due to the lack of resources, so the Federation sealed off the research project and prohibited related research.

The research conducted by Ling Zichen in the original novel consumed 60% of the resources accumulated by the entire Tang Sect over countless years. This level of resource consumption is far beyond what a normal force could provide!

However, Ling Zichen and the Federation's research directions and ultimate outcomes differed slightly.

If described in simple terms, it's the difference between a burst of power and sustained use.

The Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell uses Single Source Core technology, but it is a one-time use bomb. The energy released after the explosion will disperse between heaven and earth, forming a Destruction energy that is difficult to clean up.

Ling Zichen's goal is to sustainably utilize energy by creating a continuously regenerating Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell through a cyclic array, which can then be used to develop various high-energy-consuming technological devices.

(Note: The original novel states that the Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell technology is also Single Positive Circulation Source Core, but after considering the context, I believe it should be Ling Zichen's technology. Otherwise, if the Federation had completed Single Positive Circulation Source Core thousands of Thousand Years ahead of schedule, and hadn't yet broken through to the Douluo or developed various powerful Soul Tool, it would have looked like a human machine, Ling Zichen would have become a fraudster.)

(Therefore, the Federation technology in this book is named after the single- Single Source Core, while Ling Zichen's is named after the Single Positive Circulation Source Core, with the emphasis on the word "cycle." One is a one-time use weapon, and the other can recycle energy.)

But no matter where the technological results lead, this is ultimately research prohibited by the Federation. The consequences of Huo Yuhao's self-developed Metal Source Extraction Technology being exposed are actually quite serious.

When he showed this to Zhen Hua, his real intention was to force Zhen Hua onto his side, taking advantage of the fact that Zhenhua didn't know that Source Research was taboo. If Gu Yuena's talent wasn't enough to get him to choose sides, then Huo Yuhao would give Zhen Hua some technology to pull him onto the pirate ship...

Seeing Huo Yuhao's words, Gu Yuena remained silent for a moment, then nodded understandingly, "Since you've said so, Yuhao, then I won't target this research project. However, the Radical Faction ' intention to exploit you is too obvious; they must be reprimanded!"

She had already realized that Ling Zichen's invitation was a very dangerous thing. If Huo Yuhao accepted, it would be tantamount to handing over a handle to the other party, and this invitation probably did not belong to Ling Zichen personally.

She came representing the Radical Faction.

Gu Yuena still remembered Ling Zichen's boastful words from the past.

Spirit Pagoda is so powerful, why don't you just take over the Federation? I'm counting on you to retrieve those three Godslayer-level Soul Cannon Shell so I can study them!

How can someone who says such things possibly maintain stability?

She was a true research fanatic, completely disregarding the consequences. She was a scientific seeker who was unafraid of death or any pain, and her ideas were among the most radical in the entire Spirit Pagoda.

For the radicals, there are few things that would make them happier than the next Spirit Tower Master participating in federally prohibited technological research.

Upon hearing this, Huo Yuhao looked in the direction of the Spirit Pagoda Headquarters.

"I'd rather know if that person has any thoughts on this."

The two did not go to headquarters. Huo Yuhao planned to leave the geniuses and experts at headquarters waiting, but he had no intention of making any exceptions. He would let them wait a few days first.

On the sofa at home, Gu Yuena sat leaning against Huo Yuhao, her long silver hair cascading down like a waterfall, shimmering softly under the warm yellow light.

Huo Yuhao acted as her cushion while looking at the Soul Guidance Screen in her hand.

Gu Yuena was chatting idly with Xu Xiaoyan using the Soul Guidance Screen.

But Huo Yuhao knew that the other party was not using his account.

A series of words flashed on the screen. Xu Xiaoyan: "Teacher, regarding cultivation of Astrological Attribute..."

The mysterious Titled Douluo: "Xu Xiaoyan, the key to Star Force Resonance lies in the harmony between your Divine Power and the fluctuations of the stars..."

Xu Xiaoyan: "Thank you for your explanation, teacher. By the way, teacher, when can we meet? Everyone has gone to see their teachers, Na'er and Yuhao have also gone to Mingdu. I'm the only one who has never met you."

The mysterious Titled Douluo said, "It's not the right time yet. I'll see you naturally when you break through to a certain realm. Or, the time will come when I change this online name."

Xu Xiaoyan: "Okay..."

Looking at the chat logs and Gu Yuena's faint smile, Huo Yuhao was speechless for a moment.

That's right, Gu Yuena is currently working part-time as Xu Xiaoyan's teacher, instructing her in cultivation.

Xu Xiaoyan has never seen her teacher's true face, and she doesn't know when she will discover the truth.

"However, Xu Xiaoyan would be very happy to receive personal guidance from a deity, wouldn't she?" Huo Yuhao chuckled and shook his head. When Xu Xiaoyan asked a tricky question and Gu Yuena looked at him for help, he offered some of his insights.

Xu Xiaoyan, today, Super Increase in Seniority!

In the leisurely moments, time passed by, and evening arrived.

"Na'er, I'm back!"

A clear, crisp voice came from the doorway, accompanied by light footsteps.

Upon hearing this voice, Gu Yuena took a deep breath, sat up, and looked towards the door with a blazing gaze.

It's finally here...

Huo Yuhao also looked over.

The next second, a golden figure rushed in with great fanfare.
