Douluo: This Legend of the Dragon King is not quite right

According to the information Lu Jun read, this old man is the direct descendant of Kong Deming, the first level 10 Soul Master on Douluo Continent ten thousand years ago, the current head of the Kong family, and also the chief Soul Master of this Federation's highest laboratory, Elder Kong.

He is the true number one leader in the Federation's Soul Guidance Technology.

Lu Jun's divine sense avatar, like an invisible observer, hovered above the core area of ​​the laboratory.

His gaze was focused on Professor Kong and his team below.

Led by Elder Kong, two other elderly men with equally profound auras, clearly level ten soul masters, along with dozens of other soul masters whose mental focus was highly concentrated and whose soul power fluctuations were all at the level nine, were gathered in front of a giant optical computer that occupied an entire wall.

A waterfall of data and a complex three-dimensional model flowed across the computer screen; it was a dynamic diagram simulating a high-altitude orbital strike and a precision ground attack.

Countless parameters were fluctuating, energy curves were flashing, and everyone was frowning, clearly having encountered a huge technical bottleneck.

Lu Jun curiously moved closer, his divine eyes easily penetrating their mental barriers and reading the core content of their intense discussion.

Upon hearing this, even Lu Jun felt a chill run down his spine.

What they were researching was how to use soul-guided satellite platforms deployed in low Earth orbit or even higher orbits to achieve ultra-long-range, ultra-high-speed, and extremely precise delivery of the devastating level twelve god-slaying fixed-position soul-guided cannonballs to Shrek City.

"Launching an attack directly from outside the atmosphere... the Federation's move is truly ruthless."

Lu Jun sighed inwardly.

"Even if Yun Ming had a hundred brains, he probably wouldn't have imagined that the attack would come from the endless, distant starry sky above. This is completely beyond the scope of traditional Soul Master warfare."

He listened attentively to the discussion among Kong Lao and others. The key technical difficulties mainly focused on two aspects:

One challenge is how to ensure the shells remain stable as they pass through the atmosphere and are precisely guided at the terminal stage to avoid any large defensive barrier that Shrek City might have, such as one triggered by the Golden Tree.

Secondly, and most critically, is the energy source. An extremely stable energy source with ultra-high energy density, capable of operating for extended periods in the harsh space environment, is needed to support the operation of the entire satellite platform, positioning system, and projectile launching device. Existing high-purity concentrated soul-guided batteries and core magic arrays either lack sufficient energy output to support the activation of the God-Slaying Projectile or cannot meet the long-term on-orbit requirements.

Listening to their repeated arguments and rejections of each proposal, Lu Jun stroked his chin, lost in thought. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he slapped his forehead:
"Have it!"

A brilliant idea popped into my head.

He looked down at Elder Kong, whose brows were furrowed, and with a slight thought, a pure and intangible spiritual force, like a gentle stream, silently seeped into Elder Kong's spiritual sea.

Lu Jun did not exert any forceful control; he simply planted some ingenious concepts and vague fragments of inspiration deep into his subconscious, like sowing seeds.

He whispered to himself, as if it were a revelation:
"...In the far north, deep within the desolate ice plains, beneath the ancient, unmelting ice... lies a pure and pristine ice core... a crystallization of the primordial ice element formed by heaven and earth... stable, vast, and nearly eternal..."

At the same time, Lu Jun also sketched out a specific geographical coordinate in his mind.

As for how to meet the principles of federal technological breakthroughs?
Why not just take a small piece of the Ice Abyss Sword containing the ultimate energy of ice essence from the sword itself?
The ultimate ice attribute origin, which is unattainable for ordinary people and even soul masters below the god level, is nothing more than his own specialty.

In his mind, he seemed to hear a helpless and resigned hum from the Ice Abyss Sword itself.

To have a sword master who does whatever comes to mind and always treats himself as a universal resource bank is truly the worst thing imaginable.

Just do it!

Lu Jun's divine avatar instantly vanished from the laboratory. The next moment, his consciousness transcended space and connected with the Ice Abyss Sword held by his main body in the Mingdu villa.

Lu Jun, lying on the bed, unconsciously ran his fingers lightly across the Ice Abyss Sword. A barely perceptible crack appeared, and a small, fingernail-sized, deep blue crystal, radiating an absolute chill and immense energy, was peeled off.

Immediately, Lu Jun's divine sense enveloped the fragment of the Ice Abyss Sword, and he once again performed an ultra-long-distance spatial jump, precisely burying it beneath a layer of permafrost hundreds of meters deep in the extreme northern ice field at the coordinates he had hinted to Elder Kong.

A simple concealment barrier was set up around it, leaving only faint energy fluctuations that could only be detected by those with a deep understanding and sensitivity to extreme ice attributes.

After doing all this, Lu Jun's divine sense returned to the Federal Laboratory silently once again, as if he had never left.

Almost the instant Lu Jun returned, Elder Kong, who was deep in thought facing the quantum computer below, suddenly shuddered.

His originally cloudy yet sharp eyes suddenly burst forth with astonishing brilliance, as if a lightning bolt had streaked across the night sky of his wisdom.

"I understand, I get it!!"

Professor Kong was so excited that he slapped his thigh hard, making a crisp cracking sound that startled the researchers around him who were completely focused on their work.

"It is an energy attribute, a fundamental compatibility. We have been fixated on artificially synthesized soul-guided energy, but have forgotten the oldest and purest form of energy in the world."

Old Master Kong was so excited that he danced with joy, his wrinkles smoothing out like a child who had discovered a new toy, filled with pure joy and a sense of sudden enlightenment.

He immediately turned to the crowd and began to explain his sudden burst of inspiration in a very fast-paced manner:
"In the far north, after hundreds of thousands or even millions of years of sedimentation, there is likely a natural, ultimate ice core. Its energy is extremely pure and clean, and its stability far exceeds that of any artificial soul-guided array. Moreover, the ice attribute itself has extremely strong inertia and inclusiveness, which can neutralize some of the violent energy backlash generated when the God-Slaying Cannonball is activated."

"Once we find it, all energy problems will be solved!"

He even accurately reported a geographical coordinate, which was the very coordinate that Lu Jun had planted as a hint.

"I have a strong feeling that what we need is there. Quickly, prepare an exploration team immediately. No, I will lead the team myself!"

Watching Professor Kong's decisive actions, immediately arranging the itinerary and hurriedly leaving the laboratory with a small team of elite guards and exploration experts, Lu Jun, hidden in the shadows, smiled with satisfaction.

"Very good, the seeds have been sown. Now we just wait for them to bloom and bear fruit."

He secretly thought.

It feels pretty good to be driving the leap forward in soul guidance technology behind the scenes and paving the way for the destruction of Shrek City.

As for whether the federal technology upgrade will backfire?

Lu Jun was not worried at all.

After all, the most crucial energy source was provided by him out of friendship, so he naturally had more than one backup plan.

He could disable any cutting-edge weapon that relies on this energy source at any time, if he so desired.

Thinking about the interesting scenarios that might occur in the future, Lu Jun smiled meaningfully.

With this matter resolved, his divine avatar quietly dissipated, and his consciousness returned to his original body. (End of Chapter)
