Peerless: After traveling through time, who would still want to be Tang San's son-in-law?

Chapter 285 The Lost Mental Imprint

Nana lowered her head and did not refute.

Nana never imagined that the recipe provided by Huo Yuhao, using only a few materials with little soul power fluctuation, could trigger such a massive explosion.

This completely contradicts Nana's knowledge of soul guidance.

Huo Yuhao wanted to curse, but his gaze swept over Nana's hands. He saw that Nana's calloused hands had some scars from being corroded by strong acid. Looking at Nana's bloodshot eyes, he was momentarily speechless.

"I've already told you to be careful and take precautions. I'll let it go this time, but if it happens again, you'll be back to your cultivation. Now, go back and pack your things."

Huo Yuhao weakly threatened, then said to Xuan Ziwen, "I'm sorry, Teacher Xuan, that you've been shown such an unpleasant side as soon as you arrived."

"What happened with that explosion just now?"

Xuan Ziwen's focus was on something else entirely.

After all, it had just experienced a violent explosion, and apart from the somewhat violent fire element, there was no fluctuation of soul power in the air.

Xuan Ziwen: This is a new thing I've never seen before.

"That's Nana testing a new shell."

Huo Yuhao had no choice but to explain to Xuan Ziwen the fire he had given to Nana.

After developing black powder, Huo Yuhao searched through his memories for a long time and finally found some ingredient lists for more advanced chemical gunpowder.

It involves adding concentrated nitric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid to cotton fibers, but without specifying the exact proportions. After receiving the materials from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, the task was assigned to Nana for the experiment.

I never expected this to happen.

"So you've been tinkering with this fusion material just to make a shell that can blow people into the air? At most, its power is comparable to the new shells of a level six fixed-mount soul-guided cannon?"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao recount what had happened, Xuan Ziwen's face turned ashen.

"This isn't about being unable to catch up with the Sun Moon Empire's soul-guided technology, but about overtaking them in other areas."

Huo Yuhao said casually, and as he spoke, he picked up a carving knife and hand-carved a shell. The propellant was a mixture of potassium nitrate and white sugar, and the explosive was nitrocellulose gunpowder that Nana had just mixed.

He simply grabbed the shell in his hand, lit it, and fired.

Whoosh! ——~
boom!
The shell flew five kilometers before crashing erratically onto a distant hillside.

"Please, the cost of making such a shell is only a few silver soul coins, which is a world of difference compared to the cost of a level 6 fixed-mount soul guide cannon. It is more than suitable as the cornerstone of a power."

"Mingdetang is also researching fusion materials, but after hundreds of years of research, there has been little progress."

Xuan Ziwen's expression became much more serious. "It seems that fusion materials are no longer a rarity for you. Even a student who is responsible for doing the work can research them on his own?"

"That depends on what's being fused. Fusion of ordinary materials is fine, but fusion of rare metals... so far, besides me, only one other person has managed to get a smattering of it."

The difference between rare metals and ordinary materials lies in their conductivity of soul power.

"Putting all that aside, weren't the ideas you proposed before based on ordinary materials?"

Huo Yuhao nodded, confirming Xuan Ziwen's guess.

"No wonder..."

Xuan Ziwen suddenly realized.

"I was wondering why there was no soul power fluctuation in the scene you provided. I thought it was fake because your description wasn't realistic enough. I didn't expect you to have created this idea using ordinary materials."

"However, they are indeed tools made of ordinary materials, which is why they can be used by more ordinary people." "But how do those things operate automatically without the involvement of soul power?"

Seeing that Xuan Ziwen's curiosity had been piqued, Huo Yuhao quickly said:
"Let's not discuss that much. There's still no definitive conclusion on the specific differences between the two materials. Since you're here, Professor Xuan, I'll make my research materials available to you so you can study them yourself. I have to go back to Shrek Academy now, so I won't talk any longer."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao handed over to Xuan Ziwen some basic physics and chemistry knowledge he had compiled over the years, some machine ideas, and some experimental results he had achieved since coming to this world.

Just kidding. In his previous life, Huo Yuhao only had a superficial understanding of many things. He barely managed to copy them down through trial and error and by relying on his memory. If he were to face Xuan Ziwen at full power, the pressure would be quite great. It would be much better to just hand over the knowledge to Xuan Ziwen to study on his own than to have Huo Yuhao's understanding be incorrect.

After Xuan Ziwen logged off, Huo Yuhao's main consciousness did not return to his physical body, but instead took the opportunity to check the status of the other mental imprints.

Hmm... Ji Juechen and Ye Guyi are fighting? Never mind them, let them fight if they want.

The gun manufacturing factory is still operating smoothly, and it is indeed feasible to replace some of the non-automated production processes with skeletons. Skeleton soldiers tamed by necromancy are still capable of handling simple, repetitive tasks.

However, we don't have enough materials.

We need to contact the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School to buy another batch of materials.

Those few soul tools given to Shrek Academy can't see into the outside world? They're just thrown into storage soul tools, so we don't need to worry about them.

Huh? What's going on with Xue Di?
Huo Yuhao suddenly noticed something was wrong.

If Huo Yuhao hadn't impulsively checked the condition of all the spiritual imprints, he might not have discovered that the spiritual imprint he had given to Xue Di had lost contact.

"Elder Yi, under what circumstances can the spiritual imprint lose contact with me?"

Electrolux's somewhat serious voice rang out: "You've lost contact with one of your mental imprints?"

"The one from Xue Di." Huo Yuhao nodded.

"What? Xue Di has gone missing?"

A gasp came from Hyotei.

Huo Yuhao quickly said, "Ice Emperor, don't worry. At least the Snow Empress has Xiao Bai with her. There aren't many people on the Douluo Continent who can prevent them from even contacting me."

Electrolux paused for a moment, then said, "Theoretically, your spiritual imprint is connected through the laws related to martial souls in the Douluo Continent. To block this connection, the other party would have to be no longer on the Douluo Continent, or be isolated by a power higher than the original power of the Douluo Continent."

"You mean... the gods?"

Huo Yuhao frowned slightly.

According to Electrolux's guess, the second possibility is more likely. In addition, Xue Di had been searching for the so-called owner of the Snow Maiden Martial Soul, so perhaps Xue Di and the others really discovered something, which ultimately led to Xue Di's disappearance.

"Could it be that the Snow Empress actually found a clue to the Ice God? Or even directly found the Ice God's legacy? That's why the connection of the spiritual imprint was broken."

I should have synchronized my memory more times.

Huo Yuhao muttered to himself.

Because his mental capacity is not sufficient, when Huo Yuhao focuses on doing something, his other mental imprints are basically in a dormant state.

"Alright, I'll keep a close eye on the situation with Xue Di. I'll let you know as soon as the mental imprint is restored."

After calming down Ice Emperor, Huo Yuhao withdrew from the Sea of ​​Spirit.

There's another meeting at Shrek Academy waiting for Huo Yuhao to attend.
