I built the Black Tower City in Sumeru.

Chapter 121: Taking Wendy on a trip. When it comes to making fake Visions, Wendy is quite experienced.

Chen Bo nodded in agreement.

"The environment creates advantages. This place is sparsely populated, with constant wind and snow. Without supplies, it would be difficult to survive for three days. The terrain is a natural cage-like landscape."

"I won't take up your land for nothing. As compensation for occupying the space, I will pay the corresponding fees. Any rare experimental consumables, research project budgets, or high-precision machining equipment you need later can be put on my tab. Moreover, these five people are very knowledgeable and should be very capable, able to create a lot of value."

They are wealthy and outspoken.

The group of wise men leaned against the stone wall, listening to the two young men's arrangements, and resigned themselves to their fate.

I'm dreaming of going back to my scholar days.

Although he is a sage, he rose through the ranks from being a lab assistant.

Chen Bo was frank, and Abedo had no reason to refuse, so he nodded and said, "Keep the person here, I will make proper arrangements and make the best use of them."

Chen Bo stood up and snapped his fingers in mid-air.

He showed the five sages the floating cannons he used for monitoring and the capture mechs deployed nearby, saying, "This area is surrounded by a 24/7 patrol network."

Chen Bo's smile vanished, his tone hardening. "You all stay here and do your assistant work. You'll get two hot meals a day."

Anyone who dares to step outside the camp's perimeter will be met with at least one hundred electric shocks. Do you understand the rules?

The five sages had been tormented all the way and could only respond in hushed tones.

As long as you honestly act as an assistant, life on the snow mountain isn't too torturous.

Things were arranged perfectly.

Chen Bo waved his hand, explaining that his main body had another important matter to attend to upon arriving in Mondstadt.

That is to take down the clone of the Lightning of No Form.

I've done it once before, so I'm quite experienced the second time.

Plans can't keep up with changes; the original plan was to get the Water of No Form first.

Unfortunately, Inazuma needs help with something. He has already obtained the Heart of Thor, and now he needs a clone of the Thunder Hypostasis to help the mech control the power of the Heart of Thor.

Where the Lightning of the Impermanence resides, a rich concentration of lightning element accumulates.

A violent purple light intertwined and danced in mid-air, with arcs of electricity striking the surrounding rocks from time to time, leaving scorched marks. The pure lightning elemental life form—the Lightning Hypostasis—was in a dormant state.

Eight large, square outer shells rotated slowly, tightly guarding the energy core at the very center.

To create a new clone, the original body naturally needs to come over. That's why Chen Bo's original body came to Mondstadt to escort the five sages.

The divine mechs, capable of autonomous navigation, also flew from Inazuma to Mondstadt as an auxiliary force.

This Lightning of the Impermanence is relatively weak.

Raise your right hand.

Hundreds of dazzling points of light suddenly lit up the pitch-black night sky without warning.

Chen Bo immediately deployed a fully arrayed matrix of floating cannons, locking onto the Thunder of the Impermanence below. High-energy elemental force was rapidly compressed at the muzzle, emitting a sharp charging sound.

volley.

Thick beams of energy in six colors tore through the night, bombarding the valley floor without any blind spots.

The six-element attack, with its complex elemental reactions occurring simultaneously in a small area, then transforms into white light, and a powerful shockwave spreads out, causing the surrounding trees to sway wildly.

With a single strike, the Formless Thunder was destroyed.

Next, it's the usual process.

One hour later.

A "Formless Lightning Clone" with an appearance exactly like Chen Bo's, surrounded by faint purple lightning, took shape.

Then, it entered the divine mech for nurturing.

Strands of lightning-attribute energy were continuously drawn from the mech's divine heart and slowly merged into the formless lightning clone.

Chen Bo tried it out and found the effect to be good.

So the Thunder of No Sign returned to Inazuma in his mecha.

One night passed.

The morning light pierced through the thin mist and spilled onto the surface of Cider Lake, ushering in a vibrant new day for Mondstadt.

Early in the morning, the square in front of the headquarters of the Knights of Favonius was bathed in golden sunlight.

Amber was squatting on the ground, helping Cole stuff a few changes of clothes into his backpack.

The two girls' chattering added a lot of youthful energy to the empty square.

Amber took out a paper package and shoved it into Cole's arms without saying a word: "Cole, take this roast pork rib with you. If you're stuck in the middle of nowhere on the road, at least it'll fill your stomach."

Cole hurriedly caught the falling debris, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Amber, we really can't fit any more. It won't take long on the way. Don't worry, Junior Anil is coming to pick us up today, he'll be quick."

It's about traveling to Fontainebleau.

Chen Bo walked towards the rising sun, and seeing the two busy figures, he greeted them: "Good morning, it seems you've packed your bags. The route for this long trip has been decided. We'll first go to Xumi to meet up with Senior Falushan, and then go to Fontaine to see the stage play, and while we're at it, we'll have a good time."

As soon as the words were spoken, the heavy wooden door of the Knights Order was pushed open forcefully, slamming against the wall with a loud thud.

Accompanied by hurried footsteps, a small, fiery red figure rushed out of the gate.

The little girl shot straight at Chen Bo like a cannonball, grabbing his thighs with both hands.

"Knight of Honor, brother!" Klee looked up, her big eyes sparkling with anticipation. "Klee heard everything from behind the door! You're going to Fontainebleau! Klee wants to go too! Klee wants to see what fish look like in other countries!"

Amber covered her forehead and sighed helplessly: "Klee, going to other countries to fish for fish is not just a matter of being locked up."

Chen Bo lowered his head and ruffled Klee's hair. "Are you taking Mondstadt's strongest warriors on a trip to another country?"

This would likely leave Mondstadt's military strength even more vulnerable.

"Taking you there is no problem," Chen Bo said, going along with the plan. "But for this kind of long-distance international trip, you can't just go with anyone. You need to get Commander Qin's signature first. Go and ask her for help. As long as she agrees, I guarantee you'll have a great time."

"And we made a promise that in the deep sea, I'll take you to blast some fish."

Upon hearing that there was hope, Keli immediately let go of her hand, turned around, and ran back inside the gate.

A few seconds later, a heated argument broke out in Qin's troupe leader's office.

"Klee, no, Fontainebleau is a long way away, and it's dangerous outside—"

"Please, Captain Jean, Klee promises to be a good girl and never throw bouncing bombs around on the street again!"

A full ten minutes passed.

Qin was eventually persuaded by Keli's coaxing.

The office door opened again, and Qin walked out, holding Keli's hand. The acting leader's face was etched with headache and resignation.

She looked at Chen Bo and said in a very formal tone, "Please take good care of this child."

Then he looked at Amber: "Amber, keep an eye on Klee. If Klee makes a mistake outside, tell me when you get back."

Amber immediately obeyed: "Understood."

-

Klee patted her flat chest and loudly assured them, "Klee's a good, obedient girl, she would never burn down the big tree!"

Chen Bo smiled and assured him, "Don't worry, leave it to Commander Qin. I guarantee there won't be any diplomatic disputes."

Since he was there to pick someone up, Chen Bo had made preparations well in advance.

A streamlined aircraft was parked in an open space in Mondstadt. It was simple to build and had two rows of ten seats, which could accommodate ten passengers.

This thing has a simple structure and is not difficult to design and manufacture. Of course, you also need the right tools to travel.

Jean stood at the boarding ramp to see Amber off, her hand pressed to her forehead, her brows furrowed, giving her final instructions: "Amber, keep a close eye on Klee on the way, never leave her side. If she takes a bomb to blow up Fontaine's sewers, or sets the rainforest of Sumeru on fire—send a message back to Mondstadt immediately."

Qin took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to get angry. "I will personally go and take her to the solitary confinement room."

Even though I've already given the instructions, it's never too much to say something important three times.

Amber stood at attention, saluted, and loudly pledged to complete the mission.

A clear, childlike voice came from behind.

"Klee's off!" The little girl in red, carrying a large backpack almost as tall as herself, skipped and hopped up the gangway.

Several round balls with clover patterns were faintly visible through the gaps in the backpack zipper; these were the bouncy bombs.

When Claire boarded the plane, Cole followed behind with her arms outstretched, protecting her as if afraid that the girl would fall off with her bag.

"Slow down, slow down, the bag is too heavy. How about I help you carry half of it?" Cole reached out to lift Keli's backpack to prevent the bouncing bomb from jumping out.

The group seemed to be having a good time.

Just as the hatch was about to close.

A green figure slipped out from the shadow cast by the city wall.

Wendy, holding the xylophone in her arms, stepped lightly onto the boarding stairs.

The bard didn't stand on ceremony at all and found a soft seat by the window to sit down.

"Hey, I made it! I heard you guys are going to Fontaine? Can I come along?" Wendy submitted her request to leave only after she had already sat down. "Although the drinks in Fontaine are on the sweeter side and not really to my taste, the stage plays there are absolutely amazing. The journey is long, how can we miss out on the best bards in all of Teyvat to keep us entertained?"

With a deity accompanying him, Chen Bo certainly wouldn't refuse.

"No problem, there are plenty of seats, but remember to fasten your seatbelt."

After everyone was seated.

Chen Bo pushed down the start lever.

The vertical takeoff and landing thrusters emitted a dark blue exhaust plume.

The spaceship smoothly lifted off the ground, climbed upwards into the clouds, and then flew towards Mount Sumeru.

After the aircraft finished accelerating and entered a stable flight phase, Chen Bo set the automatic cruise route, unfastened his seatbelt, and went to the rear rest area.

"Everyone, I need your help." Chen Bo spread his hands, "I need to borrow your God's Eye."

Amber was peeling an orange for Klee when she heard this and paused.

The Eye of God is bound to its owner; if someone else takes it, they can't even make it emit light. What good is it if you borrow it?

Because Chen Bo was also an alchemist, Amber couldn't help but be a little wary.

Cole instinctively took off the Eye of God.

Klee was the most decisive, tearing the Fire Eye from her backpack along with Dodoko and shoving it into Chen Bo's hand. "Holder Brother, take a look! Just don't get Dodoko dirty!"

Chen Bo said, "I'm just taking a quick look at the appearance of the Eye of God; I won't be conducting any alchemical research."

Amber nodded, took off the Eye of God, and handed it to Chen Bo.

Chen Bo didn't ask Wendy for it, but Wendy slowly took the green glass ball from her waist and tossed it accurately to Chen Bo.

Although the designs of the Eye of God vary from country to country, the designs are the easiest to imitate.

Chen Bo still wanted to perfectly replicate the shape of the "eye".

Chen Bo returned to the front control panel, placed the four God's Eyes of different colors side by side on the table, and began to observe them carefully, mainly focusing on the refractive index at the edge of the eye.

It can also remotely connect to the void to search for different colored materials.

This time, Chen Bo decided to make the forgery extremely difficult to distinguish.

Wendy also unbuckled her seatbelt and ran to Chen Bo's side to observe him, saying, "Eye Hunting Order, observe the Eye of God. Are you trying to create some fake Eyes of God?"

Wendy lowered her voice and whispered, "It might be able to fool the general public with its realistic shape, but the most basic characteristic of the Eye of God is its ability to resonate with surrounding free-floating elements. If you take an ordinary piece of Cuihua wood and carve a shell, it can only be considered a well-made craft pendant, which might not fool the confiscating officers."

Chen Bo rested his chin on his hand: "The outer shell only accounts for 30%. I will reserve a miniature energy storage groove in the core area inside, and plan to fill it with some low-level elemental materials to provide an energy source so that the fake Eye of God can also glow."

Wendy shook her finger, striking an expert pose: "Just emitting light won't do. How can it look alive if it can't change shape? The internal energy needs to flow."

"You can inscribe a miniature energy-gathering array at the bottom of the groove. It doesn't need to be anything too advanced, just enough to guide that meager amount of energy to produce regular fluctuations—in simpler terms, you need to give this thing a faint 'breathing' quality."

Wendy picked up her own glass ball from the table, infused it with a tiny bit of wind element, and the inside of the glass ball immediately began to flicker rhythmically. As an external elemental organ, the brightness of the light varied depending on the intensity used by the Eye of God.

"The Eye of God that can sense breathing is the only one that is truly indistinguishable from the real thing."

Chen Bo examined the glowing glass sphere belonging to Wendy and quipped, "When it comes to the skill of forging the Eye of God, you're the veteran with the most experience. This suggestion is very practical; let's adopt it."

Chen Bo controlled the projector to quickly build models of the four core production workshops.

The first step, using a high-energy laser cutting machine, precisely cuts the cheap timber harvested in large quantities from the wild into standard-sized hexagonal modules.

The second step involves precision carving using CNC machine tools at the micron level. Four robotic arms work simultaneously to replicate the metal edging pattern around the Eye of God in a one-to-one ratio, and to carve out a precise embedded hole in the center of the wooden block.

The third step is a closed, automated spraying chamber. A pre-mixed polymer metallic coating is used to completely cover the entire surface, simulating a remarkably realistic shape and color.

The final, crucial step involves an automated encapsulation machine that mixes low-grade slime with luminescent material and drips it into the core groove. Combined with the simple flow array provided by Wendy, this creates a luminescent effect.

The four workshops were combined into one.

The production cost of each Eye of God is ridiculously low.

Moreover, calculations show that the internal energy is enough for the prosthetic eye to blink for three months.

When the energy is exhausted and it stops shining after three months, the people who follow the Heavenly Decree will probably just think that this is a normal phenomenon of the Eye of God dimming after the holder loses his wish.

Bo packaged the completed four-step production line blueprints and sent them directly to Nasida through the Void Private Channel, asking her to take a look.

Using a long-range remote sensing module as a connection, Chen Bo can access the virtual database from anywhere.

The Little Auspicious Grass King, far away in Mount Sumeru, received a massive data packet.

In less than half a minute, Nasita gave a reply and her own suggestions.

"The basic structure of the entire production line is very robust, making it suitable for large-scale, extensive production. However, I've noticed a problem: the third process, spraying and drying, takes up too much time and easily creates a bottleneck in production capacity."

"I suggest replacing the conventional solvent with fast-volatile star mushroom resin, a specialty of the Sumeru Rainforest, which can increase the overall efficiency of the production line by more than 40%."

"Good suggestion, I'll revise it." Through the cross-border collaboration of the two, a fully automated production line for high-quality replicas of the Eye of God with various attributes, capable of producing 100,000 replicas per day, was officially finalized.

Next, we'll build the production line.

This is the simplest step.
