The old things I repaired have become fine

Chapter 679 Yun Kun: I've been bullied! Shen Le, help me modify my car so I can fight back!!!

"Spiritual energy conduction index... 85.7, good..."

"Spiritual energy conduction loss rate...45%...Good, comparable to an entry-level metal flying sword..."

"Flight speed..."

"Physical attack power..."

"Spell attack power..."

"brittleness……"

"Corrosion resistance..."

"Radar reflection..."

Of the 49 flying swords Shen Le forged, 42 were immediately seized by the Special Affairs Bureau. The Bureau mobilized a large number of personnel, who worked overtime in a state of panic, measuring all the indicators in turn.

The test results showed that this three-inch-long porcelain flying sword was comparable to the entry-level metal flying sword, which was issued to the lowest-level disciples, in terms of flight speed, spiritual energy conduction speed, and spiritual energy loss.
Its physical attack power is average, but its magical attack power is somewhat unbalanced. Because it is too fragile, its main body is not resistant to impacts and needs to fight with the sword's edge. Fortunately, ordinary flying swords generally do not use the blade itself to cut.

However, in terms of corrosion resistance, dirt resistance, and radar signal strength, it completely surpassed the metal flying sword, giving the Special Affairs Bureau a huge surprise!

Most importantly, it can be mass-produced! It can be mass-produced!

Shen Le could forge a whole furnace of metalwork elites to make a total of 49 metal flying swords!
Even if they can't be used for hand-to-hand combat, giving each member of the operations team one would be excellent for carrying out covert missions!

The experts from the Special Affairs Bureau, holding a thick stack of experimental records and a huge table, immediately began a brainstorming session. Afterward, they rushed to ask Shen Le:

"Is there any room for improvement in this flying sword?"

"...Is there? Add more elite metalwork and rearrange the magical pathways within the porcelain sword?"

"This porcelain sword is still too brittle and not resistant to impacts. Do you think it's possible to change the formula to special ceramics to improve its toughness and other mechanical properties?"

"I don't know! You'll have to try them one by one!"

"Could you help me fire a few more kilns?"

"I can't! I don't want to do it! I don't have time!"

Shen Le finally snapped. He slammed the delicate, beautiful little white porcelain bottle onto the table and pushed it in front of the experts:
"You should go and talk to that guy in Jingdezhen! He's the real porcelain expert! He knows so much more than I do! — He knows the formula for the porcelain blanks, the firing process, he knows it all! Have him relay it!"

What a joke!

Biochemistry, environmental science, and materials science are four major pitfalls. Asking me to try using a special ceramic formula, adding metal elites to fire flying swords, is like asking me to jump into the pit of materials science!

This pit is bottomless! Our school, and the neighboring Wudaokou Vocational and Technical College, have countless people buried in it. Even now, only a few people at the top of the human ladder have managed to emerge!
Shen Le resisted vehemently and refused to leave even under threat of death, so the Special Affairs Bureau had no choice but to kidnap him and take him to the kiln.

After all, Shen Le likes to explore new avenues, but he doesn't like to delve deeply into new avenues unrelated to his main business, always leaving them to others.

He even delegated the task of crafting Five Thunder Peach Wood Swords to Qingdeng. The spirit would make a few if it was in a good mood, and slack off if it wasn't, just to feed itself...

Left with no other option, the Special Affairs Bureau could only plead with Shen Le to go to Jingdezhen and confront the porcelain demon in person. Fortunately, Mr. Zhao's enthusiasm exploded the moment he saw the porcelain sword Shen Le presented:

"Firing? Using the methods of firing porcelain to make flying swords? That idea is quite interesting, let me think about it..."

He carefully held the porcelain sword in his palms and closed his eyes. The small Xing kiln porcelain bottle seemed to jump onto his shoulder on its own, tilting to the side and pressing against his cheek, as if whispering secrets.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, suddenly, that gaudy robe, which rivaled the various glazes of a large vase from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, began to flow and shimmer.

After a while, the various glazes on the robe deepened and lightened, shifting their positions. In an instant, a large expanse of pure white appeared on the chest, shimmering with brilliance amidst the pristine white.

Before the expert from the Special Affairs Bureau could react, Shen Le had already pulled him hard and shoved him behind her, putting the two of them out of the way.

The next moment, a series of whooshing sounds came from Mr. Zhao's chest. The porcelain screen opposite him was smashed, and the porcelain wind chimes crackled and popped in large numbers!

"This……"

The expert stared in disbelief for a long while before his legs went weak and he broke out in a cold sweat. Shen Le patted the back of his hand and comforted him in a deep voice:
"It's alright. Mr. Zhao is simulating the feeling of a porcelain sword. Once he succeeds in simulating it, he'll know how to fire it."

Sure enough, after a moment, Mr. Zhao let out a long breath and opened his eyes. He nodded to Shen Le, then looked at the Special Affairs Bureau expert, his face beaming.
"Test firing of a new flying sword, right? I'll take that job! -- Whatever your needs, write up the order, and invite over an expert in special ceramics, and two sword immortals as well, so we can discuss it properly!"

Shen Le smiled broadly, took her leave, and disappeared without a trace. The most troublesome job was finally over!

I've gotten rid of the most energy-consuming job!
Who has the time to experiment with thousands or tens of thousands of recipes, kiln after kiln? You could easily spend half your life trying them out!
Moreover, leaving this matter to Mr. Zhao would be a win-win situation. Shen Le had barely left the park when Mr. Zhao's WeChat message popped up:
"Thank you so much! I feel that if I fire porcelain swords well, my skills will improve even further! Next time you come to visit, just tell me what kind of porcelain you want, and I'll fire it for you myself!"

If it helps Mr. Zhao's growth, that would be best. Shen Le happily gave herself a thumbs up and buried herself in scrolling through the various messages that had appeared on her phone.

Not long after, another notification sounded, and a message from the Special Affairs Bureau followed:

"Thank you so much! It's wonderful that you were able to persuade him! His research on porcelain formulas is simply amazing—"

Experts have to conduct thousands of experiments to figure things out, but he just takes some clay, mixes it, chews it, and can give a general idea!

Ah, this is quite similar to the alloy master. Humans rely on sheer quantity, while he relies on instinctive perception; he can deduce the porcelain blank formula and firing method with just a casual sense—

His main goal is to infuriate a bunch of experts. With him involved, research progress will definitely skyrocket; it's just that he's usually hard to get people to come...

Shen Le estimated the progress of the experiment to fire flying swords and decided to wait a few months before asking for news. Maybe he could upgrade the porcelain sword or fire some versions he wanted to play with.

For example, Dehua white porcelain flying swords, Yongle sweet white porcelain flying swords, Ding kiln white porcelain flying swords, bone china flying swords, and modern special ceramic flying swords...

Of course, the most important thing right now isn't these things, but rather repairing the control center of the porcelain swords, the porcelain tower. Tsk, the porcelain swords are all repaired, so why can't we install them on the porcelain tower?
He's already tried to burn it twice, and both times it failed. The porcelain tower says it needs to absorb more... What exactly do you want? Tell me!!!

Shen Le tried to meditate while holding the porcelain pagoda, but to no avail. He then tried to meditate while holding the porcelain sword and leaning against the porcelain pagoda, but still to no avail.

He fixed all the porcelain swords inside the porcelain tower, held a copper plate in his hand, and sat cross-legged on the tower, but still to no avail—

The porcelain tower seems to have had its fill and entered a period of stagnation; even copper plates can no longer trigger its resonance. What does it need?
What exactly is needed?
"Ugh, sometimes when I get really annoyed, I just want to smash it..."

Shen Le muttered in annoyance. Fragrant breezes swirled around him as women in flowing skirts emerged, some massaging his shoulders, others his back, and still others serving him tea and water, all trying to soothe him.

Shen Le brushed them aside and collapsed onto the yoga mat:

"I'm fine. I won't hit anyone, I'm just a little irritable—let me rest for a bit, I'll be fine after a rest..."

How about we go on a trip?

The Grand Canyon I saw last time was amazing; I haven't seen enough of it yet!

【Or you could go to the Kunlun Mountains! Go there, see where the hardware experts are, and maybe pick up a couple of pieces?】

The little ones chimed in with suggestions for Shen Le. Shen Le rolled over, spread his limbs, and laid himself out in a starfish shape:

"I really don't want to go... We've been digging for twenty years and haven't found anything... If I want elite hardware, I can just ask the Special Affairs Bureau directly, why do I have to dig it myself..."

He spent two whole days slacking off, reading novels, watching TV, and playing video games. Just as he was about to continue, a phone call came through, making him jump up instantly:
[Shen Le! I've been bullied! Help me figure out how to get revenge!]

Yun Kun!

Yun Kun was bullied again while on a mission outside?
For a moment, Shen Le even considered calling the Special Affairs Bureau or the military to discuss Yun Kun's mission setup. We, Yun Kun, are a wooden boat! A wooden boat!

Not like your kind, where you can churn out N Type 055, 052, and 051 ships a year in a shipyard!

You must cherish him when you use him, because Yun Kun feels pain when he's injured! There are also a bunch of little guys on the ship!
He patiently asked a few questions to confirm Yun Kun's current location, then rushed over. Emerging outside the naval port, he saw the faces of those who greeted him and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He looked fine, not nervous, anxious, or guilty. It seemed that Yun Kun was not injured and had not suffered much.
Perhaps due to the relationship between the son and father (?), the people who came to see him were of increasingly higher rank each time. This time, when Shen Le came, the fleet commander personally received him, speaking to him in a friendly manner and explaining:

"It's kind of you to come in person—we were planning to come over anyway to ask for your advice, as there are some things we need to ask you."

"Well, during Yun Kun's recent mission, we discovered that he still has some shortcomings in his abilities, and we hope to discuss with you how to improve them..."

If we're going to discuss this, we naturally need to bring the parties involved—no, the ship involved.

The group slowly walked to the dock and saw Yun Kun lying in a pool full of spirit wood, sucking it in with great relish. At first glance, the hull of the ship did not appear damaged or charred.

On the deck and around the hull, a group of naval officers and soldiers were lying, standing, and hanging around, busily cleaning the deck and hull, removing silt, barnacles, and shells from the outside of the hull...

It's like having a full-body spa treatment. Seeing her so engrossed, Shen Le just shook her head.
You are a spiritual artifact, you are fully capable of maintaining yourself. With a slight vibration of your power, all these impurities will disappear. Why do you need to use so many people?
The paper figures on your ship aren't incapable of working!

Yun Kun lay happily in the dock, showing no signs of the impatience one might expect from someone who had suffered a great loss and needed Shen Le to settle scores with him.

It was only when it saw Shen Le arrive that it quickly raised the sails, then lowered them, then raised them again, then lowered them again, as if to say hello.

Then he happily started yelling at Shen Le:

[Shen Le! I really pulled off this time! I went for a spin with some street thugs on the beach, and it was so much fun! None of them could do anything to me!]

"Mmm, mmm." Shen Le responded with two "Mmm" sounds, then patted the side of the boat and the rudder.

He focused his mind slightly, feeling the power flowing through the ship without obstruction, and confirmed that Yun Kun was unharmed inside and out, before smiling and teasing:

"Is it that we can't do anything about you, or that we can't do anything about 815? You're not just using someone else's authority to bully us, are you?"

"Of course they can't do anything to me!" Yun Kun said indignantly, shaking the water violently and splashing a stream of seawater that nearly soaked Shen Le.

After venting his anger, Yun Kun replied happily:
I hid below 815, he was in charge of the surface, and I was in charge of the underwater! We went to see the big planes, and it was so much fun! They couldn't do anything to us, so they had to let us watch!
With me guarding this spot, nothing can get through underwater. Even if it does, it won't be able to get past me!

"Comrade Yun Kun perfectly fulfilled his underwater defense responsibilities during this mission, ensuring that no underwater attacks breached the main ship." The fleet commander timely commended Yun Kun.
"However, during this mission, we also discovered some problems, especially the lack of external attack methods for Yun Kun and the inability to move quickly overseas..."

They bombed me with mines! They bombed me with torpedoes! They even sent underwater fish demons to attack me! It was so hard for me to fight them off. I had to dodge around all the time, and Li Xingtang would slash me with his long-handled sword and flying sword. It was incredibly inefficient!

They bullied me! Shen Le! Think of a way so I can fight back next time!

Yun Kun grumbled, flapping the sails loudly. The commander continued:

"They dare not openly attack our warships, but for something like Yun Kun... we feel we need to enhance its mobility and long-range attack capabilities!"

Shen Le couldn't help but laugh. Wasn't this exactly what he was doing?
He pulled out a porcelain sword and beckoned it into the cabin. With a click, Li Xingtang strode out and took the flying sword.

He lowered his head slightly, circulated his internal energy, and the porcelain sword gently floated upwards, nimbly circling the ship once.

Shen Le nodded in satisfaction:

"Looks pretty good. I have seven flying swords here, you can have them all. If it's not enough, I'll make more—hmm, I can place an order with Mr. Zhao later?"

This is great! This is really great!

Yun Kun was also excited. It happily swayed its body, urging Shen Le:

Could you get me a big one? I have a giant flying sword so I can ride it and fly back quickly!

Shen Le: "..."

How big of a flying sword do you want? The only thing that could propel you would be a log!
