Otherworld Bone Dragon Operation Guide

Chapter 301 New Power
Normally, such large-scale equipment is installed during the construction process, and then the subsequent ship structure is built around it. However, Su Ming's "Summoning of All Things" ability does not require following this conventional procedure.

The working group arranged by Yunier was conducting a second check and inventory of the materials that would soon be used in the assembly. Upon seeing Su Ming and his entourage arrive, they all stopped what they were doing and bowed in greeting.

"Hello, President Su! Hello, Scholar Chestnut Owl!"

Su Ming nodded in return, his gaze sweeping over one of them. He wore a number tag with "0513" on his chest, representing his training camp and trainee number; the green vest he wore indicated that he belonged to the service department; his specific job title was clearly embroidered on the front and back of the vest—"Materials Management".

On the other side, a group of trainees wearing bright orange vests representing the engine department, with the word "Electrical" marked on their clothes, were intently learning how to install cables from a "veteran" electrician who had participated in tunnel engineering practice.

"Remember this! To find out if there's electricity, just let a zombie touch it." The electrician shared her valuable experience. "If it's just a slight tremor, it's 220 volts low voltage; if it's tremoring more violently, it's three-phase 380 volts; if it's smoking, it's high voltage; and if you see sparks—run!"

The system, which has over a thousand users, has been meticulously planned and organized by Su Ming, and a clear operational framework has been established.

To facilitate on-site command and coordination, different colored vests were used to distinguish major departments such as service, engine, deck, and security; the text on the vests clearly indicated each person's specific job responsibilities; and with the addition of a unique trainee number, this management system began to operate initially.

Since an effective digital communication network had not yet been established on board, dedicated communication officers and a temporary dispatch team were specially set up. At this moment, under the unified coordination of the dispatch team, everyone was performing their duties, scattered in various places, carrying out a large number of tedious tasks such as structural assembly, outfitting, and material organization.

Soon, the materials review team completed its work, and the team leader respectfully handed Su Ming a list marked "Reviewed without error" and signed.

Su Ming signed the receipt. Immediately afterwards, dispatchers wearing purple vests stepped forward to clear the area of ​​power equipment.

Unrelated personnel quickly and orderly evacuated the core area of ​​the operation, clearing space for further work. However, Su Ming turned his head and looked around, but did not see the snow-white figure of the unicorn.

He scanned the area and quickly spotted Qiluo in a corner. The unicorn lay listlessly on the ground, its head resting on its crossed front hooves, occasionally letting out a muffled hiccup.

Ever since she flaunted that pot of "wolfsbane and gentian" external medicine last time, even the unicorn's gluttonous stomach couldn't handle it. Sure enough, that huge bowl of genuine braised pork just now triggered indigestion.

[Miao Xin, please connect me with an expert to ask if equines ruminate? How do I treat indigestion?] Su Ming immediately sought off-site support through the link.

The expert team quickly responded: Horses are monogastric animals and do not ruminate. If colic due to indigestion caused by feed is suspected, it is recommended to administer paraffin oil orally to lubricate the intestines and supplement with electrolyte solutions.

[But what she ate was a whole pot of braised pork belly, the kind that's really oily and salty!] Su Ming added crucial information, [What do we do now?]

The expert team immediately fell silent, clearly stunned by this incomprehensible "condition." Su Ming didn't dwell on it; after all, unicorns were far more robust than ordinary horses.

This quack doctor became bolder and directly ordered Miao Xin to get ten boxes of digestive tablets.

Qi Luo looked curiously at the pills Su Ming handed her, opened her mouth, and stuffed the entire strip into her mouth.

She smacked her lips and chewed, "Hmm...sweet and sour, is it a new flavor of candy?" she asked vaguely.

Su Ming's face darkened, and he quickly stepped forward to pry open her big mouth, pulling out the dented and saliva-covered remnants of the aluminum foil medicine blister pack.

After swallowing a bunch of digestive pills and drinking plenty of warm water, Qiluo's stomach churning finally subsided, and she regained much of her energy.

"Are we going to teleport everyone again?" Qi Luo glanced at Su Ming, then bargained, "Give me a hundred strips of that candy!"

"That's medicine, not candy! Eating too much won't do you any good!" Su Ming corrected him irritably. "I'll make you hawthorn candy in a few days!"

Upon hearing this, Qiluo immediately perked up. She ran to the open space in the center of the lower cabin, elegantly flicked her snow-white, fluffy mane, and then raised her head and chest, beginning her "Lunar Offering".

A soft, sacred light, interwoven with gold and green, emanated from her horn, enveloping Su Ming like a veil.

Earth, a ship equipment factory.

The massive 50-megawatt marine power unit has been packaged and neatly arranged in the spacious warehouse according to component categories.

Su Ming raised his hand and saw that he was holding a list of the core components of the power system: boiler, steam turbine, generator, condenser, feedwater system, switchboard, frequency converter, and podded propulsion.

The core task of the first phase of the "Pansy" project was to install this power and propulsion system. The main gun will temporarily remain the existing 203mm MK71 naval gun.

Although Ji Su desperately wanted Su Ming to abandon this "foreign junk" and use their own "local specialty"—the 155mm shipborne ballistic gun—the current technological level of the other world made it impossible to produce the matching new shells. Therefore, Ji Su had to "downgrade" the technology and strive to develop a sufficiently "outdated" artillery system.

"Let's start the teleportation from the boiler section," Xiao Cheng suggested.

In the very center of the site, the packaged boiler components were already in place, surrounded by a dense array of monitoring probes and sensors. A large number of staff members in white coats were in their positions, holding their breath and waiting for the transfer experiment to begin.

"Increase the intensity slightly." Su Ming assessed the abundance and stability of his magical power and made a decision, "Bring the steam turbine and generator over for teleportation as well."

Xiao Cheng's face immediately lit up with joy, but he quickly suppressed the corners of his mouth as he said, "We do hope to try to increase the volume of a single transmission in order to obtain more extreme and special data samples, but—are you sure you can handle such a large volume?"

Su Ming recalled Sang Zi's words: to explore the unknown, one must dare to raise questions in order to uncover the hidden patterns within.

"It doesn't matter," he said firmly. "We have to start taking on the challenge eventually!"

Without saying another word, Xiao Cheng quickly picked up the walkie-talkie to make arrangements. The two heavy steam turbines were lifted one after the other by the huge overhead crane and steadily transported to the open space next to the boiler.

At the same time, heavy-duty forklifts also transported two sets of power generators over with a roar, adding them to the conveyor queue.

Meanwhile, in the lower deck of the "Pansy" in the Taiya plane, the space around Su Ming began to fluctuate violently, and mysterious and complex rune arrays rapidly unfolded and superimposed beneath his feet and in the air.

Zi Jin looked up and was surprised: Su Ming had actually activated five sets of magic arrays at the same time!
Furthermore, he employed the technique of nesting and combining positive and negative runes, which directly doubled the rune density and energy level of the magic circle.

"You learn so quickly..." the scholar murmured in admiration, then reminded Beanie beside her, "The energy fluctuations are very strong, let's step back a bit more."

The moment the superimposed array was fully deployed, the highly sensitive monitoring equipment in the Earth warehouse immediately detected an unprecedented and astonishingly large spatial distortion phenomenon!

Some deep spatial structural changes that were almost unobservable in previous transmissions were now clearly displayed on the researchers' monitoring screens and in the analyzed data streams for the first time. The scene instantly erupted into a state of near-frenzied excitement, with exclamations of surprise rising and falling.

Pansy's lower deck.

A massive surge of magical power washed over Su Ming's body like a torrent, causing excruciating pain as if his bones were being crushed. Sweat soaked his temples, but Su Ming's gaze remained unwavering, his mental link with the little troublemaker as steadfast as a rock.

Having endured so many life-or-death trials and power backlashes, the physical pain caused by mere magical pressure and excessive magical output was no longer enough to make him furrow his brow.

Moreover, influenced by many people, Su Ming's vision and will began to somewhat disregard physical pain.

Whether it's the path to transcendence or the ascent on the technological front, a magnificent vision has unfolded before him. He may not be as fervent as some fanatics, but he will never back down.

"Summoning All Things - Dual-Shaped Magic Array!"

Driven by Su Ming's will, the materials in the corresponding foundation pit floated up, bringing with them a whistling sound!

An order from Earth transcends spatial boundaries, descending upon this grandeur. Five sets of equipment components of varying sizes are simultaneously undergoing material reorganization on their respective pre-designated mounting bases!

“That’s… amazing!” Stacy stood a little distance away, witnessing this shocking scene, and murmured to herself, “Violet, he is indeed more suitable than you to explore this kind of power that touches the fundamental rules.”

Zi Jin's lips curled up slightly, and the Divine Favor Staff quietly appeared beside her, sensing the energy ripples within the arena.

To her slight relief, the feared phenomenon of dimensional rejection did not occur.

She recalled past records: the earliest teleportation of the refurbished second-hand steam-powered unit, and the later teleportation of the steam locomotive—both of which caused turmoil in the plane's will.

What they have in common is that they are all "old equipment"? And it doesn't seem to be old equipment in the ordinary sense.

Violet's gaze swept to one side of the lower deck, where the equipment had long since been completely dismantled into basic materials, and was now being used in the assembly of new equipment.

The conclusion was pretty obvious. The scholar pondered to herself that perhaps she should rewrite a new spell to see just what kind of guest had visited.
