……

The rising sun had just climbed over the treetops surrounding the village, its golden-red rays slanting across Chen Xiaojun's tall figure and landing on a huge design blueprint spread out in the center of a square table in front of him—something Tie Fu'er had just moved out of the next room.

Tang Yuchen's fingers were rough and strong, calloused from years of battling with metal, and he was now forcefully poking at several mental link nodes marked with cinnabar on the blueprint.

His voice was slightly hoarse from extreme focus and a hint of barely suppressed excitement: "...Young Master, the key to success or failure lies here!"

"The inlay precision of the 'Lingxi Lens Array' must be absolutely perfect!"

"The last failure was a lesson learned—because the angle of one of the pieces was off by only '0.2 finger widths'!"

He practically pinched that tiny gap with his index finger. "As a result, the entire mental link matrix rippled and oscillated, and the response of the entire 235th position of the Ruhua array was almost three breaths slower."

“Three breaths, young master! In a skirmish where a Soul Emperor might intervene, this is enough to wipe out an entire flank of elite troops.”

"In order to crack this tough nut, Old Lin from the workshop and his third group of mirror grinders have been working non-stop for thirty days."

"We eat and drink right by the stove, all to push the tolerances of this batch of core lenses to the limit..."

Chen Xiaojun raised an eyebrow and looked at him sharply: "Where did you get the specific data on these delay fluctuations?"

A barely perceptible hint of embarrassment flashed across Tang Yuchen's face, and he chuckled twice: "This... Young Master, please forgive me."

“We…we used the resources we applied for last time for the preliminary research of Hyakka to secretly tinker with a…uh, a ‘half-finished’ Hyakka Throne experimental machine.”

His voice trailed off as he spoke, and he rubbed his hands together somewhat embarrassedly.

Chen Xiaojun's eyes narrowed: "A half-finished product? So this is the second time I've agreed to it today?"

"You can't say that, young master!" Tang Yuchen quickly defended himself, but then felt he couldn't deny it. "The preliminary research is real... but establishing a command chain is key. In order to achieve seamless connection and power synergy between the low-level Ruhua at the grassroots level and the specialized puppet-level Baihua, the underlying command core architecture of this Baihua Throne must be verified!"

"Without it, the whole concept is just a castle in the air... So... we... moved up the verification of the core node a little..."

His voice carried a hint of probing and a touch of recklessness.

Chen Xiaojun looked at him, feeling that something was off, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

……

Chen Xiaojun bent down, his dark, deep pupils appearing even more profound in the morning light, as if they could absorb all the light.

He slowly traced a complex, spiderweb-like soul guidance circuit running through the core on the blueprint with his fingertips, his brow furrowed: "How do we solve the node loss problem? Dissipation under long-distance, high-density soul power resonance is a fatal flaw."

"I just read the project meeting report from last month, and it clearly stated: When simulating Contra-level commands, once the coverage radius exceeds one kilometer, the effective signal strength received by the terminal drops below 40%?"

"Yes, young master!" Tang Yucheng's spirits lifted, and he immediately leaned forward, his fingers quickly sketching on the blank space at the edge of the drawing. Several profound rune models instantly took shape. "This is the core value of adding 'Runic Field Inscription'! Look here—"

Tang Yucheng pointed to a dense area of ​​micro-rune inscriptions in the center of the blueprint, "Use this unique rune force field as a 'soul power waveguide channel'." "Its soul guidance properties are extremely stable, and it can form a low-loss 'pure channel' itself. More importantly, it can actively absorb and filter out most of the useless mental noise interference during the linking process. It does not directly amplify the command power, but fundamentally optimizes the propagation environment."

Chen Xiaojun suddenly interrupted: "You mean the energy stored in the soul power alloy storage device or soul crystal (in the form of crystal/pearl, etc.) as a power source is transformed and purified in the furnace to generate a pure spiritual power signal, which is then emitted through the soul power waveguide channel of the rune force field and transmitted to the target, Ruhua's lens array?"

Tang Yuchen wiped his sweat: "Yes, young master, but there is some loss. It's best to use the mental soul crystal I'm using now, which can directly generate a flow of mental energy."

Chen Xiaojun nodded slightly: "I understand, please continue."

Tang Yuchen coughed and continued, "Theoretical deduction and preliminary tests both show that the rune force field can reduce the dissipation rate of the instructions of the Soul Saint level spiritual flow during long-distance transmission in the air from the theoretical limit of 67% to an astonishing 33%."

"If a Contra-level powerhouse is at the core, their inexhaustible spiritual power can support an effective command circle with a radius of one kilometer, and the signal strength can be conservatively estimated to remain above 50%! As for the 'precision control' mode—"

Tang Yuchen spoke rapidly, becoming increasingly excited as he went on, "Due to the sharp reduction in the number of linked nodes, the network burden is much lighter, coupled with our uniquely designed 'Thousand Machine Neural Cord' regional loop compensation mechanism..."

Chen Xiaojun's lips suddenly curled into a meaningful, scrutinizing smile: "Contra? Who did you use to test your Contra-level control?"

Tang Yuchen was speaking with great enthusiasm when this sudden question caught him off guard. He snapped back to reality, his face burning red: "Uh... well... we really couldn't find a suitable top-tier expert... so... so we took the liberty of... bringing Elder Shihua over... to do some... extreme stress testing..."

His voice grew softer and softer, his eyes darting around, and he dared not look at Chen Xiaojun.

After all, it is a big no-no to use core elders to test sensitive projects without formal application.

Chen Xiaojun understood but didn't point it out, only humming, "Elder Shihua is really... approachable. Continue."

He pointed to the nerve cord structure on the drawing.

Tang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly continued, "Thanks to the ingenious design of the neural cable, the signal strength is expected to reach 75% under the precise control mode of 300 puppets! This is the ideal value we calculated!"

"So," Chen Xiaojun tapped his fingers on the table again, "what is the main material used to amplify and transfer mental commands in the core of your unfinished product—that experimental machine, the Hundred Flowers Throne?"

"The core is a spirit-type soul crystal taken from a Soul Saint-level creature!" Tang Yuchen replied immediately. "The auxiliary materials used are mithril to enhance the conductivity of soul power, and the sap from the heart of the Demon Eye Tree has also been melted in—it has an excellent affinity for and amplifying effect on mental fluctuations, which can effectively strengthen the connection."

Tie Fu'er's gaze swept back and forth between the complex blueprints and Tang Yuchen's flushed face as he listened to him explain the "mental fission network" theory.

The core inspiration for this theory comes from observations of the world of spirit beasts: the coordinated hunting of wolf packs, the unified action of bee swarms like a precise machine, and the efficient operation of ant colonies over a wide area relying on pheromones.

It reveals the underlying logic of group behavior—individuals receive specific signals (pheromones, aura, ultrasound, etc.) and are driven by pre-set instincts (action logic packages) to achieve collective cooperation.

The essence of the Hundred Flowers Legion's theory is group collaboration.

It resolves the seemingly irreconcilable contradiction between the scale and precision of command by replacing "precise control" with "spiritual resonance" (guidance).
