【Caution! ]

[The simulation character "Special Forces Boy - Bond 4" has been eliminated.]

Save file 9 is no longer valid.

Before Brisso's bomb could detonate, Lino detonated the bomb planted by Bond 4, successfully snatching the head of the Bone Drinker from the Imperial Ministry of Justice.

However, this is not the point.

The key question is whether the identification spell he cast on the network nodes in Bond 4 had any results when he was on his deathbed.

Li Nuo woke up in his bedroom in the Royal Court District and excitedly opened the system interface.

His appraisal skills performed exceptionally well, as always, and did not disappoint him.

【Identification successful! 】

【Name: Spirit Race Sacred Mark - N98-76T54.】

This is a network city built by the god of the Eldar Empire—the Laughing God, Higoki—and also an Eldar ark, officially named the "Black Library of Chaos," or simply the Black Library.

It really is a black library.

Li Nuo's eyes lit up slightly as he delved into the numbering of the network nodes.

The node name is "Spirit Mark of the Eldar" rather than "Spirit Mark of the Eldar," which may be because the founders of the Network City were Eldar deities rather than ordinary Eldar.

N98 represents the distance of the Web node from the center of the Milky Way, which is 9.8 light-years.

76T54，“76”代表网道空间的直径达到76亿公里，“54”则指的是网道节点是距离银河系中心9.8万光年的球面上的第“54”个网道节点。

By combining the above information, we can roughly determine the location of the Eldar Mark-N98-76T54 node in the real universe.

Li Nuo opened the Milky Way galaxy planar map on the data board and circled a small area in the northeasternmost corner of the Milky Way, which is the range where the network nodes are located.

"Yes, it's pretty much the same as what I saw in the short video. The Black Library can indeed be entered from the real universe. Its Web node in the real universe is located in the Ghoul Stars in the northeast corner of the Far East Star Region, which matches my memory of the Cloud Hammer knowledge."

Li Nuo marked the coordinates of the Ghoul Galaxy, but didn't plan to go for a stroll in the Black Library right now.

The Black Library is heavily guarded, with the clown troupe as its protectors, and the Laughing God, Hiccupy, backing it up.

Li Nuo knew his own limitations, so he didn't want to go and make a fool of himself.

"Enough with the small talk, let's log in and get started. Today we should try out the new armor."

Li Nuo put the data tablet aside, lay down on the bed, and loaded the save file of Techmaster-Galatin.

Consciousness left the body, entered the network channel, and arrived at the outpost.

Li Nuo, possessing the body of Gu Latin, awakens in the monocrystalline workshop near Mushroom Manor.

On the table in front of him was a tactical vest made of a single crystal.

It weighs approximately 30 kilograms and consists of a sternum, abdominal armor, and carapace, but provides no protection for the shoulders, arms, or neck.

Over the past ten days, Li Nuo has independently developed many styles of single-crystal protective gear, and the tactical vest in front of him is the most mature of them.

Its prototype is the standard plated bulletproof vest used by the Imperial Army of the Human Empire.

The vest has multiple slots into which bulletproof plates can be inserted to enhance its bulletproof performance.

The protective gear developed by Li Nuo was named the "Single Crystal Insert Plate Vest" by him, and it also adopted the insert plate design.

The difference is that, where single crystals can be used, he will never use substitute materials such as ceramic steel, plastic steel, Kevlar fiber, or reinforced chitin.

The Imperial Army's insert vests used slots made of highly elastic fibers.

The slots on the single-crystal vest are also made of single crystals.

Only the lining, which had to be made of elastic material, was made of bulletproof fiber.

The main focus is on large quantities to ensure a satisfying experience, maximizing the number of single crystals.

Li Nuo picked up the single-crystal tactical vest and took out the noisy box:

"Where are you, beast?"

"I'm resupplying at the outpost, boss, what's up?"

"That's perfect. My newly developed protective gear is ready. Send someone over to take it to the ship and hand it over to space."

"hold head high."

Li Nuo waited a moment at the workshop entrance when a young orc came running over excitedly and took away the protective gear.

Li Nuo then switched his consciousness to the space body.

Space and Beast are currently on the bridge of the Iron Block, while the Iron Block is resupplying at the outpost.

When the supplies were almost replenished, the orc boy ran into the ship and handed the single crystal vest in his hand to space.

Li Nuo took off his ceramic armor, put on the single crystal vest, and checked the insert in the slot.

A total of sixteen monocrystalline plates provide ample protection for the chest, back, and abdomen.

Li Nuo used ceramic steel protective gear to protect his neck, arms, and shoulders, fully arming himself.

"Beast, let's go to the graveyard. I'm going to find some junk to fight and test the effects of my new protective gear."

"okay."

The beast responded, waved its hand, and gave the command:

"Boys, let's set sail!"

The Iron Block activated its thrusters and took off from the outpost's helipad, beginning its sub-light-speed journey at an altitude of tens of thousands of meters.

A dozen minutes later, the Iron Block arrived as scheduled over the graveyard outpost.

After more than ten days of fighting, the Paru warlords gained a foothold here, and the walls, collection stations, equipment depots and turrets of the outpost were completed.

The subspace biological materials collected at the collection station are transported by frigates to the mushroom farm at the outpost, where the mushroom boys transform them into single crystals.

The Orks' rampant harvesting of warp creature materials has enraged the demons near the outpost, resulting in constant battles taking place there.

When Li Nuo arrived, the western side of the outpost was under attack by the Bloodletting Demon, and the scene was chaotic with gunfire and explosions.

"I'm going down to test the effects of the new armor. You stay on the bridge and record the combat data for me."

"Okay, boss."

Li Nuo gave an order, stepped into the outer cabin, opened the hatch, and jumped out.

The continuous vibrations propelled the atmosphere, causing Lino to fly downwards.

A bloodletting demon discovered Li Nuo's trail and gave chase with a shriek.

As soon as Li Nuo landed, the Bloodletting Demon caught up with him and swung his scarlet blade.

"Ding!"

A soft sound, accompanied by echoes, spread out as the Bloodthirsty Demon's sword shattered into a small fragment, revealing a visible notch on the blade.

The Bloodthirsty Demon was stunned, never expecting his weapon to be so fragile.

Li Nuo glanced down at the unscratched monocrystalline vest and a sinister smile crept across his lips.

He took several steps in quick succession, closing in on the Bloodthirsty Demon, and unleashed a powerful punch with his right fist.

"Bang!" The Bloodletting Demon's head exploded, turning into a headless corpse that fell to the ground.

The loud punch startled the nearby Bloodletting Demon.

The space creature possessed by Li Nuo was nearly three meters tall, with a round waist and shoulders, huge muscles, and an imposing presence. However, this physique did not frighten the Bloodletters; instead, it inexplicably excited them.

"Kill it! Offer it to your master!"

"Blood sacrifice to the Blood God! Skull sacrifice to the Skull Throne!" The Blood Demons swarmed forward like wild beasts in heat, howling and slashing wildly with their swords.

Li Nuo neither dodged nor avoided, but charged forward and plunged headlong into the enemy ranks.

"Jingle bells—"

After a series of crisp sounds, all the blades that hit the monocrystalline vest shattered, except for the blades that collided with the ceramic steel armor plates.

Li Nuo clenched his fist, activating the Gaussian force field on his gauntlet, and six green claws suddenly appeared on his fist.

With a sweep of his hands, his sharp claws stirred up a storm of blood and gore. With just a simple swing, no fewer than ten blood demons were decapitated.

Crimson blood mixed with radioactive metal ions splattered everywhere, and the Blood Demon's fighting spirit surged again and again, with more rotten things surrounding Li Nuo.

A little further away, the Skull Snatcher, attracted by Li Nuo's heroic fighting posture, casually threw away the half-eaten green head and charged over.

The sword of slaughter in its hand was powerful and heavy, and when it slammed down, it carried a strong smell of blood, yet it was still easily deflected by the monocrystalline vest.

"Ding!"

The sword of slaughter was knocked away by the recoil and actually slipped directly from the skull snatcher's hand.

The head snatcher was stunned for a moment, his eyes reflecting the rapidly magnifying green claws.

"Pfft!" The skull snatcher's head was pierced by the force field claw, turning green from the inside out, and in an instant, it turned into ashes rich in radioactive particles.

Li Nuo straightened up and looked down at the monocrystalline vest.

The slot struck by the sword of slaughter deformed, with jagged cracks appearing on its surface, and fragments of single crystals rustling down.

The single-crystal insert inside the slot broke into two pieces, and the fracture surface was exactly the point of impact of the sword of slaughter.

Li Nuo nodded slightly. It seemed that the full force of the Skull Snatcher's attack was the upper limit that the single crystal slot and the insert could withstand.

"Beast, are there any rotten things around here that are more powerful than the Skullgrapper? Like the Khorne Commander?"

"No, boss. We've been keeping an eye on all the Khorne leaders within a 300-kilometer radius of the outpost. They'll be wiped out by the frigate's heavy artillery as soon as they're born."

"Alright, then I'll practice on the leader of Khorne again later."

Li Nuo jumped up from the spot, used vibration magic to create air blocks, and flew towards the Wrench.

Back on the bridge, he immediately checked the combat data on the device.

Single crystals possess both extremely high physical and energy resistance, and can autonomously release psionic fields, making them immune to subspace energy.

The power of the Khorne demon comes primarily from two sources: physical strength and psychic energy.

The psychic energy of a Chaos Demon is a manifestation of warp energy and is completely immune to the psychic field of a monocrystalline structure.

When facing a Chaos Demon, as long as you equip a monocrystalline armor, the part of the armor will be immune to the Chaos Demon's psionic energy and will only suffer physical damage.

Whether they are Bloodletters or Skullgravers, the swords in their hands rely on the psionic effects granted by Khorne—killing to grow, absorbing blood, tearing armor, headshot bonuses, and so on.

When these psionic effects are immune to monocrystalline materials, and the sword's material is only equivalent to terracotta steel, the Khorne demon's weapon poses no threat.

This is why the monocrystalline vest can shatter Khorne weapons.

After reviewing the combat data, Li Nuo was quite satisfied with the tactical vest he had developed.

Next, we just need to continue increasing the consumption of single crystals and strike a balance between weight, cost, and protective performance.

Later that evening, Li Nuo conducted multiple rounds of testing on the monocrystalline vest and came up with several other production plans.

The following morning, Apimatt welcomed a new day, and Lino also received the expected good news.

"The draft bill to establish a space guard has been passed. Congratulations, Li Nuo, you can finally deal with the orcs on Planet Apimatt."

Satana handed Lino a Star-language letter from the Wartime Council, offering her congratulations with a smile.

Overjoyed, Li Nuo couldn't wait to share the good news with Tido after reading the star-language letter.

Satana asked from the side:
"I have a suggestion regarding the Space Guard you're about to establish. Would you like to hear it?"

"Please speak, ma'am." Li Nuo sent the message and put down the data panel.

Satana paused her needlework and said seriously:
"If you wish to advance further within the Empire in the future, I suggest you take over the 'Specific Alien Response Agreement' from the Imperial Military Affairs Department. This is a military agreement formulated by the Military Affairs Department to deal with specific alien civilizations. The governor who takes over this agreement must ensure that the planetary defense forces and space guards he trains are capable of dealing with specific aliens."

"For example, the orcs. The threat posed by the Ulanor orc empire to the human empire is obvious to all. In order to more effectively suppress the orcs, the Ministry of Military Affairs will give priority to the Planetary Defense Force and Space Guard, who are skilled in dealing with orcs, when recruiting soldiers."

"After you take over the Orc Countermeasures Agreement, the training guidelines and operational policies of your Planetary Defense Force and Space Guard must be in line with the Orcs. In other words, your army exists specifically to counter the Orcs."

Li Nuo asked thoughtfully:

“I understand, madam. Taking on a military agreement is equivalent to signing a long-term contract with the Ministry of Military Affairs for the targeted training of a specific branch of the armed forces. So, what are the benefits of this contract for me?”

Satana smiled:

"There are many benefits. The two most obvious ones are..."

"The first benefit is that the number of soldiers the Ministry of Military Affairs recruits from you will decrease significantly. In the past, it recruited around 200 million people every year. After taking over the agreement, the number of recruits may drop to 100 million, or even less. The premise is that the soldiers you train are indeed good at dealing with orcs and meet the agreement's specifications."

"The second benefit is that you can earn merit related to the fight against the orcs by sending your own troops to the Imperial Army. For example, if your anti-orc army kills orc warlords or leaders of war for the Empire, or destroys important orc military facilities, you will receive merit from the Military Affairs Department. Merit will be tallied and converted when the Ulanor Empire is destroyed, and you will be rewarded in the form of supplies, throne coins, or licenses."

Li Nuo's eyes lit up.

He suddenly realized that he had a huge advantage in training the anti-orc forces!
Since his transmigration, he has spent half his time dealing with the green skins, and he knows their living habits, temperaments, fighting styles, and thought processes very well.

It is no exaggeration to say that:

No one understands orcs better than him!
When Li Nuo first conceived of the Space Guard, he considered using orcs to boost the military merits of the human empire.

Now the opportunity is coming!

What he was most looking forward to was that the Ulanor Orc Empire would not be destroyed by humans in the short term.

现在是986.M30，乌兰诺灭亡是000.M31的事情，距离当下还有14年的时间。

Those 14 years spent racking up military merits for the human empire could probably have propelled him directly from a mere governor to the Terra Highlord Council.

Just imagining the future in his mind gave Li Nuo a chilling feeling.

“Yes, madam, you’re right. I have to seize this opportunity. How should I sign this agreement?” Li Nuo clenched his fist and lightly tapped his palm, his eyes flashing rapidly as many details of establishing an anti-orc army surfaced in his mind.

"Terra will send a military representative to assist you in establishing and managing the Space Guard. He will also serve as a bridge between you and Terra's Ministry of Military Affairs. You can discuss signing the Orc Response Agreement with him."

Satana pondered for a moment and said:

“Generally speaking, after the draft bill for the Space Guard is voted on, the military representative will depart from Terra. Judging by the time, he should arrive this afternoon.”

The incoming military representative was none other than Kang En, who had met with Li Nuo before.

Conn belongs to the Imperial Fist and is the political commissar of the Mortal Forces of the Seventh Legion. He is stationed in Terra year-round and is sometimes assigned by the Military Affairs Department to visit other Imperial Worlds.

He had a rugged, angular face with short, light gray hair and a beard.

When Kang En saw Li Nuo again, he wore a warm smile:

“Congratulations, Wilsey. The Imperial Military Affairs Department plans to retake the Pamela Sector from the Ulanor Orcs next year and urgently needs a large number of troops, especially soldiers and officers with experience in space warfare. You’ve come at a good time. I heard that a group of Orcs has appeared here, right? That’s great, you can use them to train your troops.”

Li Nuo shook hands with Kang En, a joyful yet composed smile playing on his lips:

"Yes, Conn, you're right, those orcs will be the best training targets. By the way, I'd like to sign the 'Orc Countermeasures Agreement,' is there anything I need to prepare?"

"No need to prepare any extra materials. I will apply to the Imperial Military Affairs Department for you. Once the agreement arrives, you just need to sign it. I will explain the details to you later. Now, let's go through the process of establishing the Space Guard."

Conn pulled a parchment scroll from his briefcase:

"This is the permit to establish the Space Guard; be sure to keep it safe."

Li Nuo, with a solemn expression, accepted the scroll with both hands, putting on a good show.

Conn took out the second parchment scroll:

"This is your authorization letter for conducting Gauss weapon research with the Mechanics Order."

Li Nuo accepted the scroll again.

Conn took out the third parchment scroll:

"This is a letter of authorization from the Ministry of Military Affairs to entrust you with conducting live-fire experiments on new equipment."

"New equipment? Real combat test?" Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, then took the letter of authorization and examined it carefully. The contents of the letter made his pupils shrink slightly.

The new equipment developed by the Ministry of Military Affairs is an anti-psychic shield generator. It is relatively large and can only be installed on a vehicle, not as individual soldier equipment.

The generator uses electricity as its main energy source, and the reaction chamber is an electrolytic reaction chamber that can withstand high temperature, high pressure, and strong current.

When a strong current passes through the reaction chamber, the single crystal powder stored inside will be electrolyzed instantly.

The vapor produced by electrolysis is constrained by a force field and projected in the direction of the incoming psionic attack, forming an anti-psionic barrier.

What Li Nuo cared about was
The powder stored in the reaction chamber appears to be a subspace energy single crystal!
