"After all those twists and turns, I still can't get away from engineering applications. Is it really so hard to focus on academic work and quietly pursue research and development?"
Watching his subordinates debug their creations, continually entering parameters into the Cosmic Dao Satellites and calibrating their talisman arrays, Li Chen sighed softly.
But after sighing, he had to admit that it truly was hard!
Forging ahead into new territory had never been easy. Making improvements at the application level based on existing theories and technologies already qualified as innovation.
Now that he had newly become a Grand Artisan, what he truly needed was indeed these practical applications, rather than further theoretical study.
Over these past days, the artificial intelligence under his command had played an enormous role. With Base No. 1 producing at full capacity, it had soon refined over a thousand Cosmic Dao Satellites with positioning capabilities.
This had cost him cultivation provisions worth a full ten million Talisman Coins, leaving even his available funds somewhat tight for a time.
Fortunately, he was producing them for his own use this time, so only production costs counted, and most of the spirit materials came from his previous stockpiles. Otherwise, even with the numerous Spirit Peak Blessed Lands he had secretly developed, he would have struggled to sustain the expense without enough time to build up reserves.
The Heavenly Sword System, as its name suggested, was actually a space-based Flying Sword system, one of the space-based combat weapon systems of the puppeteer Dao path.
Li Chen had not pioneered it. It originated from an invention made along the puppeteer Dao path hundreds of thousands of years ago.
Originally, Puppet Masters had researched it to unravel the mysteries of Sword Dao Sword Formations and use it to defend their Mountain Gates.
