Douluo: What the hell is the academic master development system?

Chapter 669 Soul-Guided Electromagnetic Cannon

"You will have three hours to create a soul tool. Each person can only create one soul tool."

"Any material can be used, but no pre-made semi-finished products can be used. If found, the person is immediately eliminated."

"At the same time, I must remind you that after three hours, you will have no rest time and will directly undergo a skills assessment. The last place will be eliminated, and your ranking will also affect your subsequent quarterfinal matchups."

"Therefore, when making soul tools, you must conserve some energy to avoid being overexerted and unable to cope with the subsequent skills assessment. The skills assessment is very difficult."

Chen Ping felt a chill run down his spine. He closed his eyes slightly, placed his hands on the table, and waited quietly.

"Start the timer! Soundproof shield, raise."

With a loud shout from Ye Yulin, a faint white light shield rose from around the arena, and the soft white light quickly gathered in the air to form a dome, enveloping the entire arena.

The outside noise was completely shut out. Starry Sky Douluo Ye Yulin returned to his seat, his gaze fixed intently on the participating Soul Masters who were beginning to move.

At this moment, Chen Ping did not immediately begin making his own soul tool. Instead, he first spread out his left hand and placed it flat on the table. He quickly flipped his hand over and nodded. Then, he clenched his right fist and raised his thumb. After a moment, he nodded again.

Chen Ping's hand gestures, which resembled the application of witchcraft, not only aroused the curiosity of Ming Lei Douluo and Tian Wu Douluo, but even Ye Yulin subconsciously cast a curious glance at Chen Ping.

It's just that Chen Ping doesn't know what these Nether Thunder Douluo and Heavenly Centipede Douluo are thinking right now, otherwise he would definitely say, "Ignorance is truly terrifying."

What he was doing just now wasn't witchcraft, but simply the left-hand rule to determine the direction of force and the right-hand rule to determine the direction of magnetic field.

As for why?
Naturally, it's because the soul tool he's about to create is related to this area of ​​knowledge.

Just as Chen Ping couldn't use the Mad Dragon Staff martial soul and its five soul ring skills in the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament, he also couldn't freely use the power of the Jade Scorpion Staff and Star Tumor Staff in this black market tournament of the Sun Moon Empire.

With only the Mad Dragon Staff, Chen Ping wanted to win the championship, so he naturally had to fully explore its full potential. The Mad Dragon Blood Lightning that came with the Mad Dragon Staff provided Chen Ping with a lot of inspiration.

The power of lightning can not only be used to strike people directly, but also to create a strong electromagnetic field, accelerate the pill to an incredible speed, and then smash the target in front of it to pieces.

In this way, even if Chen Ping only has the Mad Dragon Staff, he doesn't need to worry about lacking ranged attack capabilities. When he uses his electric discharge, enemies who are slightly further away won't be able to penetrate his defenses. Yes, the soul tool Chen Ping hopes to create in this competition isn't conventional equipment, but an electromagnetic cannon—something that has never appeared on the Douluo Continent before!
Before Chen Ping obtained the Scaled Dragon Staff, even as a level seven Soul Master, he might not have been able to create a suitable Soul Guidance Electromagnetic Cannon. After all, the most important thing for an electromagnetic cannon is electricity. The magnetic field generated by a permanent magnet alone is not enough; it must rely on the magnetic field generated by an electric current.

To achieve this on Earth, a sufficiently large battery pack, capacitor pack, or even generator would be required, so it's impossible to make it very small. The same principle applies to soul tools.

However, on the other hand, all those previous problems were based on the situation before Chen Ping possessed the Mad Dragon Scale Staff. Once Chen Ping could generate electricity on his own, these problems were no longer problems!
After all, as long as Chen Ping has enough soul power, he can provide power himself and completely replace the super-large battery pack and the entire pulse power system.

He himself is an electric donkey that integrates an electric pulse system and a power generation facility. Therefore, the soul-guided electromagnetic cannon he makes only needs a rail, an armature, a projectile, and energy coupling. He doesn't even need to make a gun carriage or an insulating protective layer!
Only Soul Masters like Chen Ping and Bei Bei, whose innate Martial Souls possess the ability to generate electricity, can wield this kind of Soul-guided electromagnetic cannon. Other Soul Masters, even if they master this technology, can only look on with envy.

After all, if they had developed the pulse power system and the power supply system, this soul-guided electromagnetic cannon would most likely have become too bulky to be considered a single-soldier weapon.

Based on Chen Ping's understanding of the Sun Moon Empire's soul tool technology, although their research and development in many areas of soul tools was at the forefront of the Douluo Continent's soul tool research field, including the Sun Moon Divine Needle that could be charged using sunlight and moonlight, it was practically cutting-edge technology.

However, Chen Ping was certain that the Sun Moon Empire's research in fields such as electromagnetism, electrodynamics, and pulse fields was almost nonexistent. Chen Ping's soul tool was made right in front of them, and due to the huge gap in the underlying scientific and technological knowledge, the other party might not be able to replicate it!

After all, these people can't keep staring at him forever, can they?
If you lose focus even slightly and miss a few of Chen Ping's technical details, you'll be stuck trying to figure it out when you try to replicate it later. It'll be like being in advanced mathematics class; by the time you bend down to pick up a pen, the teacher's explanations are already incomprehensible.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Ping quickly selected several Tianlong silver ingots suitable for making guide rails and began processing them.

This rare metal, which has excellent electrical conductivity, ultra-high strength and hardness, high temperature and corrosion resistance, and can withstand armature friction heat and possible arc erosion, is very expensive. Many lightning-attribute soul tools require this rare metal.

However, most soul masters use Heavenly Dragon Silver Ingots to make soul tools, and at most they only use a few dozen grams for the core components, and very few use hundreds of grams. But Chen Ping took ten kilograms of it right away and used it directly to make the guide rails!

Such extravagant behavior instantly made Ye Yulin, who had been watching Chen Ping closely, speechless; she almost slapped her head on the spot.

How can you use this Heavenly Dragon Silver Ingot like this? I don't need you to use Mithril, you can use Deep Sea Silver! I'm a level nine Soul Master, and I've never been this extravagant when making Soul Tools!

This idea wasn't just Ye Yulin's; all the other Soul Master referees present thought the same thing. When they saw Chen Ping casually take ten kilograms of Heavenly Dragon Silver as a basic material, they almost fainted.

This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!
However, no matter what the referees thought, Chen Ping, who was multitasking at this moment, had no idea.
