The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 739 Stabilizing Spirit Talisman, Breaking Through the Clouds
Tu Long still remembers the scene when he and Liang Yuan first explored the sky above the thunderclouds.

At that time, Liang Yuan had not even broken through the genetic barrier yet, and everyone was still worried about the monthly tides in Yangshan.

Tu Long transformed into a giant eagle and carried Liang Yuan all the way to the sky.

He was almost struck dead by lightning.

From then on, thunderclouds in the sky became a forbidden place in Tu Long's heart.

He transformed into a giant eagle many times to carry out missions, but he never dared to fly high.

They were afraid of touching the thunderclouds and attracting a thunderbolt.

Unexpectedly, more than a year later, he is finally going to follow Liang Yuan again to explore the boundless thunderclouds once more.

Old Ma was also quite excited.

Torrential rains fell, floods raged, and the end of the world arrived.

Everyone wants to know where this flood came from, and where this torrential rain has been going on for so long without stopping.
Why is there so much rain in the sky?

Old Ma wanted to know what was causing this torrential rain.

Liang Yuan looked at the two of them and smiled, "Once we get through the thunderclouds, we'll need everyone's help to find a floating island and build a base in the sky. That will bring us one step closer to uncovering the truth behind the flood that destroyed the world."

Everyone nodded, revealing a hint of excitement.

The rest was simple: the blond-haired man's spaceship searched for floating islands in the air.

Yangshan is rapidly preparing for the launch of the second and third spacecraft.

Liang Yuan opened the Sumeru Space, allowing everyone to prepare supplies and enter the Sumeru Space.

He then personally boarded a Yangshan-2 series spacecraft.

"Take off."

Liang Yuan gave the order.

At the R&D department's command, ten spaceships from Yangshan Base soared into the sky.

The loud whooshing sound caused countless people in Yangshan to look up at the sky.

When everyone saw the Yangshan spaceship disappear into the thick dark clouds, they all gasped in surprise.

It has been a long time since we've seen an aircraft since the great flood.

Everyone watched with anticipation as the spaceships disappeared into the thunderclouds.

Amidst the thunderclouds, Liang Yuan gazed at the surrounding dark clouds.

Thunder roared and explosions occurred, with lightning continuously striking the aircraft.

"Mr. Liang, we're about to pass through the thunderstorm zone."

Around the aircraft, the energy shield operated stably, with runes flowing around it, constantly absorbing the high-voltage lightning from the surrounding area and then converting it into electrical energy for storage.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan suddenly had an idea and asked, "What kind of runes are on these defensive shields?"

The person from the R&D department who came with us this time is named Du Zhijie. He is a PhD in electrical engineering and, it is said, worked in teaching and research at a prestigious 985 university in the capital before the great flood.

Because he is from Linjiang City, he happened to be on summer vacation and went back to his hometown to visit relatives during the flood. His flight was delayed by the rainstorm, and he did not expect that the rainstorm would last until now.

In the early stages of the great flood disaster, as a PhD in electrical engineering, he made some weapons to barely survive the initial crisis and eventually awakened his superpowers.

As the floodwaters continued to rise, they had no choice but to leave their original building and drift along, wandering through several shelters before finally arriving in Yangshan.

He witnessed Yangshan's emphasis on high-tech talent and felt that Yangshan's leadership was insightful. So he took out some of his inventions and weapons and volunteered them to the R&D department.

Professor Li Hanzhong personally interviewed him and confirmed Dr. Du Zhijie's academic level. He immediately and strongly recommended that Liang Yuan keep him and give him an important position.

Liang Yuan naturally trusted Li Hanzhong's judgment. After Zhuang Shuyuan's assessment during their conversation, he concluded that the man had a clean background, so he allowed him to join the R&D department.

This time, he will lead the R&D team to enter the floating island with Liang Yuan and the others. He will be responsible for setting up the defensive shield for the floating island base in the future.

Upon hearing Liang Yuan's question, Du Zhijie quickly replied, "Mr. Liang, these are runes we disassembled from the UFO at Kerry Technology Company. We call them Spirit Stabilizing Runes."

"This rune can transform violent supernatural energy into a peaceful form of energy."

"Furthermore, through our experiments, we discovered that this rune is unaffected by rune attributes, meaning that any type of supernatural energy can be converted by this rune."

"For example, the fire-attribute ability of some fire-attribute ability users has extremely violent power, but once it is absorbed and transformed by the spirit-stabilizing talisman, it will become a fire-attribute energy form with a controllable temperature."

"Furthermore, these runes can be stacked. The more they are stacked, the better the stabilizing effect and the more peaceful the converted supernatural energy."

"The person who thought of using these runes in a defensive formation is simply a genius."

"When this rune is used in an array, any violent attack energy will be effectively converted into a peaceful energy form, making it impossible to destroy the entire defensive shield."

"Of course, unless the instantaneous destructive power far exceeds the rune's tolerance."

"The flying saucer-like exterior of Kairis Technology absorbs external lightning power through the superposition of these runes. After several transformations, it forms relatively peaceful electrical energy, which is then connected to an energy storage rune to ultimately form an effective energy storage."

"Our spaceship has adopted this technology, which is why it can withstand the violent lightning forces from outside."

Liang Yuan's heart stirred slightly, and he said, "If a superhuman mastered this kind of rune, wouldn't they be able to condense the same defensive shield? And withstand such a thunderstorm?"

Upon hearing this, Du Zhijie said, "Theoretically, it is possible, but it is almost impossible to actually achieve."

"why?"

"Because a person's supernatural energy is limited, the number of such spirit-stabilizing talismans that can be condensed is also limited."

"A sufficient number of spirit-stabilizing talismans must be stacked to continuously construct layer upon layer of arrays, stabilizing the energy multiple times, in order to finally achieve the effect of stabilizing the energy."

Du Zhijie's words made Liang Yuan frown. He still couldn't quite understand.

Du Zhijie thought for a moment and then gave a different explanation: "You can think of the Spirit Stabilizing Talisman as a transformer, which can stabilize a large voltage within a controllable range through a voltage regulator."

"The more Spirit Stabilizing Talismans you have, the stronger your control."

"However, according to our experiments, to achieve such a spirit-stabilizing effect, at least 30 spirit-stabilizing talismans are needed to form an array structure to achieve the initial spirit-stabilizing effect."

"But normally, even if a gene-type ability user's main attribute is mental, the maximum is only 100 points. How many runes can they manipulate at the same time?"

"I'm not a top-tier genetically modified superhuman, so I'm not too sure about this number, but I imagine it won't exceed 100?"

"No more than one hundred, at most enough to build the most basic level three spirit-stabilizing array, which can at most reduce the thunderstorm by three times."

"But look at the intensity of the thunderstorm outside. Even if it's reduced by three times, it's still something that carbon-based life forms can't withstand."

Du Zhijie adjusted his glasses and gave Liang Yuan this explanation.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan calculated his current number of mental strength gene points.

Leaving aside the human form, if the genes are recombinated, it can transform into the genetic map form of the Spirit Turtle and the Illusionary Serpent.

His mental attribute can break through to around 300 points!
In this situation, how many Spirit Stabilizing Talismans can he condense?

Liang Yuan hasn't tried it, but it's a direction he's heading in.

"As the progress of gene recombination continues to improve, my mental attributes will definitely continue to improve as well."

"The number of runes that can be condensed will only continue to increase, and this Spirit Stabilizing Rune Array will definitely become very useful."

Liang Yuan suddenly thought of another idea and asked, "Since an individual cannot condense too many Spirit Stabilizing Talismans, can't we design them onto weapons such as armor and shields?"

"Wouldn't that mean we could have a similar set of armor?"

Du Zhijie smiled wryly and said, "This involves the issue of energy supply. The number of energy stones that can be embedded in a set of armor or shield is limited, and the more runes there are, the more energy is consumed."

"The Spirit Stabilizing Talisman requires a large number of stones to form a powerful array, which means it needs a lot of energy stones to supply power."

"Ordinary armor and shields are too small to easily set up a stable spirit talisman array."

"Unless we can find an energy device that stores more energy but is smaller in size."

Liang Yuan realized that this was just like the tram before the end of the world.

Before electric cars were invented, the biggest problem was lithium batteries.

The battery is too small and lacks sufficient power, so the car can't go very far.

However, to achieve sufficient power, the battery size would need to become very large.

In short, this is an energy technology issue.

Only when a high-energy source can be found to replace the current supernatural stones will this spirit-stabilizing array be able to truly shine.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Yuan said, "Give me a set of the runes for the Stabilizing Spirit Talisman. I'll study them when I have time."

Du Zhijie nodded and said, "I have the blueprints here. Please wait a moment."

He quickly retrieved the information from the computer and copied it for Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan planned to take some time to study whether he could set up a spirit-stabilizing talisman array after transforming into a spirit tortoise and a phantom snake.

"Out!"

"Mr. Liang, we've emerged from the clouds!"

"Mr. Liang, look, we're out!"

Suddenly, cheers erupted from the crowd.

Liang Yuan looked up and saw the sunlight outside shining on the clouds, like a black ink painting inlaid with golden edges.

Giant floating islands drift in the air.

Countless mutated beasts flew back and forth over the various islands.

Some roam in large groups, some blot out the sky, and some move as swiftly as lightning.

Although Liang Yuan had seen this scene in a video before, he was still quite shocked to witness it in person.

Those floating islands in the air, their original shapes can be vaguely discerned.

As expected, they were all kinds of enormous mutated beast forms.

However, the floating islands that are too close are too large to tell what kind of creatures they are.

It gives one the feeling of being "too close to the mountain to see the forest."

Liang Yuan glanced at the floating islands, then finally looked up at the boundless sky.

In the distant heavens above this planet, a vast Milky Way stretches across the sky like a rainbow, traversing the void.

Terrifying waves poured down from it, some of which fell onto the planet, forming a torrential downpour that fell into the clouds.

The clouds grew thicker and thicker because of this enormous torrent that traversed the boundless universe!
A hint of amazement and shock flashed in Liang Yuan's eyes.

What on earth is this boundless Milky Way?

Where does it come from? And where does it flow to?

Liang Yuan had a strong intuition that once the origin of this galaxy was figured out, the mystery of the flood would be solved immediately.
