Douluo: Traveling Through the Universe, Reversing Time and Space

Chapter 366 The Finished Humanoid Soul Tool of the Sun Moon Empire
I only thought about it, but didn't actually do it; I didn't forget why I came here in the first place.
First, they observed the situation here to get a general idea, then went elsewhere, consciously searching for the underground entrance.
The truly important parts of Mingdetang are not the research departments above ground, but rather the departments or storage warehouses located underground.
Meanwhile, the Snow Emperor embryo, which was purchased by Xiao Hongchen, may have been placed somewhere underground.
He was still somewhat interested in the Snow Emperor's embryo, and if he could obtain it, he would take it with him.
Helping the Snow Empress recover, or simply killing her to obtain her soul ring or soul bone, are both good options.
However, he still preferred to use his Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone to devour and absorb the Snow Empress.
The Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone has the attribute of ice. Although the Snow Empress is not purely ice-attribute, her ice has reached an extreme level. Absorbing and devouring it will definitely not be a small boost to one's own Eight Spider Lances Soul Bone.
Of course, it would be great if one could utilize the Snow Empress embryo to gain an additional martial soul.
However, the chances of success were slim, and he felt it was unrealistic. Even if it were possible, he wouldn't take a huge risk, so it was completely unnecessary.
He already possesses Time and Space Martial Souls, so having an additional Ultimate Ice Martial Soul would be merely icing on the cake, offering little real improvement.
Shi Yu used his precognitive abilities and successfully found the entrance to the underground area.
They entered silently and headed underground.
Once inside, he immediately became alert. There were soul-guided devices inside that interfered with the space, some of which were specifically designed to target him. Using spatial techniques inside would definitely not be as smooth as it was outside.
"Could this have been added specifically for me?" Shi Yu felt that these soul tools that interfered with space might have been prepared specifically for him.
I became much more vigilant and knew I needed to be more careful in my actions, lest I get caught.
He began to explore the underground space, his main purpose being to find his way around and understand the situation.
There were also many research labs in the underground space. He quietly sneaked into one of them, where research on civilian soul-guided devices was being conducted.
He looked closely at some of the blueprints for a while and realized that these people were actually studying cars?
Although the appearance is still relatively rough, and some are just carriages with horses replaced by two other wheels, it is not difficult to recognize that they are carriages.
"The research on soul tools by the Sun Moon Empire is truly cutting-edge," Shi Yu thought to himself.
In this era, there were no cars, and ordinary people still had to rely on horse-drawn carriages to travel.
Flying soul tools were not widespread; they were a means of transportation used by only a select few.
If the car can be developed, the development of the Sun Moon Empire will definitely accelerate significantly, benefiting countless households and greatly facilitating people's travel.
After a brief look, I left and entered a research lab. Through observation and secretly examining some blueprints and documents, I discovered that they were researching flight soul tools.
While flight soul tool technology is now quite mature, there is still considerable room for improvement, such as modifications and adjustments to its appearance, optimization and improvement of functional soul tools, and reduction of manufacturing costs.
The third research lab we entered also studied flight-oriented soul tools, covering their classification.
The Sun Moon Empire's research on flying soul tools is divided into two directions: military and civilian, and they are already making targeted design improvements.
Military flight soul guides primarily consider the weaponry mounted on them, while civilian flight soul guides focus more on reducing costs and expanding the space available for their construction.
Shi Yu would stay in one research lab for about ten minutes before moving on to the next new lab, where he saw many studies that were not covered in the Soul Guidance Department of Shrek Academy.
"It's probably an understatement for the Sun Moon Empire to say it's a century ahead of the other three nations." After observing the situation in more than a dozen research labs, Shi Yu realized the gap between the Sun Moon Empire and Shrek Academy.
The research on soul tools in the three kingdoms of Xingluo, Douling, and Tianhun is at most similar to that of Shrek Academy, and the gap with the Sun Moon Empire is still enormous.
Shi Yu quietly arrived outside a research room, intending to enter, but stopped, not daring to enter rashly.
The main problem was that when he was about to enter, he suddenly had a bad feeling that if he went in, there was a high probability that a lot of things would happen.
Shi Yu used his precognitive abilities to make predictions and deductions, and several images flashed through his mind, giving him a rudimentary understanding of the situation.
The research involved here concerns humanoid soul tools, which is considered the most important research project of the Sun Moon Empire at present. Naturally, the level of secrecy is extremely high. Many detection soul tools are installed inside, which also have a strong ability to interfere with space. There is also a Title Douluo in charge, so the possibility of being exposed if you enter it is not small.
Since the risks were so high, he didn't go inside, and there was no need for him to get involved with the humanoid soul tool technology.
My main purpose in coming here this time is to find a way to bring back some soul guidance technology for Shrek Academy, not for myself. It's not that I absolutely have to bring back the humanoid soul guidance technology.
Taking back some other soul tool technologies should be enough to complete the mission.
As for the humanoid soul tool technology, he has ways to obtain more advanced mecha technology from ten thousand years in the future, so why should he care about this humanoid soul tool technology?
However, these technologies cannot be easily revealed to Shrek Academy, as their origin is difficult to explain.
"I wonder if the Sun Moon Empire has already created a humanoid soul tool," Shi Yu thought to himself, quite curious about the situation inside the research room.
He was eager to know whether the Sun Moon Empire had truly been affected by some soul tool fragments he had left behind ten thousand years ago, resulting in their technology advancing by several decades.
The Sun Moon Empire changed its attitude after returning from ten thousand years ago, wanting to make an early exchange and paying close attention to the method of becoming a Super Douluo, which may be related to their advanced technology of several decades.
He tried to peek inside using his precognitive abilities, and after several attempts, he made some progress, a blurry image flashing through his mind.
In the scene, a large metal object, about four or five meters tall and quite heavy, is located in the center of the research lab. It is equipped with many soul-guided cannons and a close-combat soul-guided longsword.
This massive metal object is shaped like a human, like a person standing there, exuding a strong sense of oppression.
"The Sun Moon Empire has actually developed a humanoid soul tool?" Shi Yu was slightly surprised.
That humanoid soul tool didn't look like a half-finished product, but a complete product, the precursor to the mecha.
His guess was correct; the Sun Moon Empire's soul guidance technology had advanced ahead of schedule, producing humanoid soul guidance devices several years earlier than in the original story.
