Chapter 318 The Eternal Flame Device of the Nibelungs
A week later.

Shrek Academy, Soul Guidance Department Research Area.

Lin You stood in front of the workbench, tapping his fingers lightly on the metal surface, his thoughts racing through his mind like an electric current.

Before him lay a complex blueprint of a soul-guided magic array, marked with thousands of precise nodes, each requiring meticulous detail. This was the core control array of the [Nibelungen Eternal Flame Device], which, once completed, would become the heart of the Gundam's firepower system.

“If we shift this node two millimeters to the left, the energy flow will be more stable.” Huo Yuqin pointed to a detail on the drawing, her hands resting on the workbench, her body slightly leaning forward, carefully studying every subtle change.

Lin You nodded and picked up the carving pen made of mentally sensing metal. This special metal could resonate with mental power, which increased his accuracy in carving magic arrays by more than tenfold. Of course, to use it, he needed to burn his own mental power to inject it into the pen, which was essentially exchanging quantity for quality.

"You're right, this prevents phosphorus from becoming overly reactive at high temperatures."

Di Qiu'er squatted in the corner of the workbench, her golden eyes curiously examining these human "things". She hugged her knees with her hands, and although she was now in human form, she still couldn't get rid of some habits.

"This is the soul tool that you humans are so proud of?" Di Qiu'er tilted her head, her tone tinged with confusion. "Why not just cultivate and improve yourself directly? For example, I only need to devour a few powerful light-attribute soul beasts to instantly increase my strength."

Lin You didn't even look up, continuing to inscribe the intricate magic array: "Humans don't have the innate advantages of soul beasts, so we need to rely on external objects. This isn't a disadvantage, but rather another way of evolution."

Huo Yuqin added, "Just like Soul Masters rely on Soul Rings, technology is also an extension of power."

Di Qiu'er pouted: "That sounds really troublesome. In the forest, whoever is strong is king, there's no need for so many complicated things."

Just as she was speaking, heavy footsteps came from outside the door.

"Little Uranium, I have good news!" A warm and loud voice accompanied the door being pushed open.

The man who entered was a burly, dark-skinned, bald man. He was wearing work pants stained with oil and carrying a metal box on his shoulder. He and Cai Tou rushed in, beaming with excitement and delight.

"Senior Brother He," Lin You put down his carving knife, a look of anticipation on his face, "is it a soul-guided propulsion core?"

He Caitou grinned, revealing his neat teeth: "That's right! The academy's soul guidance propulsion core miniaturization technology has finally made a major breakthrough. Dean Qian Duoduo broke through to the eighth and a half level soul master in the midst of the battle. This thing is only the size of a fist, but its thrust can reach 30% of the original! There is also an intermediate version, which can have 80% of the original power."

As he spoke, he carefully opened the metal box, inside which was a hexagonal device that glowed with blue light. It was completely transparent and its interior was filled with complex energy circuits.

Lin You's eyes lit up: "I didn't expect Teacher Fan Yu to be so amazing. I remember that thing I brought back from the far north was a level nine soul tool, right? I didn't expect you guys to have figured it out so thoroughly? Now the mobility problem of the Gundam is mostly solved!"

Just as He Caitou was about to continue the introduction, he suddenly noticed Di Qiu'er in the corner. He paused for a moment, then gave a simple and honest smile: "And who is this?"

Di Qiu'er stood up, and an invisible pressure instantly emanated from her petite body. Her golden eyes gleamed with a faint light, and her entire demeanor transformed from playful and curious to noble and dignified.

"I am Xingdou. Wuwu!" She was just about to introduce herself, her tone carrying an authority beyond her years, when suddenly Lin You darted to Di Qiu'er's side with incredible speed, covered her mouth with his hand, and gave an awkward laugh: "It's nothing, it's nothing. She's a friend from Xingdou City, named Di Qiu'er, and she's staying at our academy for a couple of days." Although he only said half a sentence, the unprecedented sense of oppression was truly real.

He Caitou felt an inexplicable pressure coming down on him, and unconsciously straightened his back and even bowed slightly: "Nice to meet you."

Lin You quickly stepped forward to smooth things over: "Senior Brother He, Di Qiu is temporarily staying at the academy. Di Qiu'er, this is my senior brother He Caitou, a top talent in the academy's Soul Guidance Department."

Di Qiu'er rolled her eyes at Lin You, but she knew her limits and knew that now was not the time. She nodded slightly, and the pressure subsided a little. She walked to the soul guide propulsion core and reached out to touch it, but Lin You gently stopped her.

"Be careful, this thing is in an unstable state right now, the temperature is extremely low, it will freeze you."

Di Qiu'er pouted in dissatisfaction: "I am an Emperor. Even a ten-year-old soul beast can't do anything to me. How could this little thing hurt me?"

Huo Yuqin added from the side, "This is not soul power, but soul guidance technology, which is different in nature."

Lin You didn't explain further, turning to He Caitou: "Senior brother, advancing the core requires a coordinated energy system. We just happened to be designing a new energy device, would you like to take a look together?"

He Caitou rubbed his hands together, eager to get started: "Of course, Lin You, you always come up with some strange and wonderful ideas."

The four people gathered around the workbench, where Lin You displayed the design drawings for the "Nibelungen Eternal Flame Device".

This is a hybrid system that combines soul-guided technology with Lin You's special elemental control abilities. Its core concept is to utilize the properties of phosphorus to create an inextinguishable high-temperature flame.

As we all know, phosphorus fire only needs oxygen and fuel to burn. If the combustion is sufficient, it can continue to burn. But coincidentally, Lin You made a simple gadget, a heat energy absorption and conversion device. It can absorb heat energy and convert it into energy, and the energy can be transformed into soul power after being processed.

Although this soul power cannot be absorbed by the human body and is a lot of messy impurities, it is more than enough for a soul guidance device to absorb this waste.

This soul power can be transformed into fuel for combustion, thus forming a not-so-perfect cycle, since there is always some loss. However, this ingenious idea still surprised Lin You himself.

Therefore, Lin You pointed to the blueprints and explained, "The principle is very simple."

"I use my mental power to guide the phosphorus element to combine with special soul-guiding materials to form a stable burning energy core. This flame only needs some oxygen to maintain it and can burn even in water. The combustion generates heat, which is absorbed to form soul power. The soul power is conducted to transform fuel, which is then burned again to generate heat, thus achieving the cycle."

He Caitou was slightly taken aback, then clicked his tongue in amazement: "This idea is too bold! Traditional soul tools are all driven by soul power, yours is completely different!"

Huo Yuqin picked up the conversation: "Brother You's elemental control ability is very special. It doesn't belong to the soul power system, so he can do things that ordinary people can't imagine."
