Ling Cage: I am a spiritual master, devouring source matter to become a god.

Jing Yuan stood to the side, completely stunned.

4277 was only wearing a tank top underneath. Once he took off his jacket, his shoulders and waist were exposed. His young body smelled of sweat, which made Jingyuan feel a little dazed for a moment.

"What's wrong?" 4277 noticed that Jingyuan was observing her.

"nothing!"

Because the lighthouse suppresses desires, no one dares to talk about matters between men and women in public, so the young 4277 didn't think about it that way either.

She took off her coat simply to make work easier, completely unaware that her youthful body had a strange attraction for men.

"Let me help you!"

"Okay! These materials are too bulky, I need you to cut them for me. Do you know how to cut them?"

"Yes, I will. You can leave it to me!"

4277 got into work mode and became very serious. At this moment, she didn't treat Jingyuan as a servant, but rather as an assistant.

The two talked as they worked.

Jingyuan was very curious as to how 4277 possessed the technology to manufacture knives.

I learned from 4277 that she learned these skills from some old folks.

Among these dust people were engineers from the old world, workers, blacksmiths, and so on; they possessed all sorts of skills.

After the three laws were promulgated, the mortals were treated like livestock; apart from being provided with insect cakes periodically, they were completely ignored. So education was out of the question.

The fact that the Dust People can read and write and master skills is all thanks to the older generation of educated and skilled Dust People, who taught the younger generation about culture and skills.

4277 has a talent for mechanical repair and weapons forging. Her friends 4068 and 4079 also have talents in other areas.

Unfortunately, they are all ordinary people, and the lighthouse has no use for them, so they can only earn some contribution points by tinkering with small things.

With the help of the machine tools in the workshop, 4277 was able to make things very smoothly, and the first sample was made in just a few hours.

Jingyuan toyed with the throwing knife in his hand. To save materials, 4277 only made a 10-centimeter-long throwing knife.

Using telekinesis to accelerate flight, this 10-centimeter throwing knife could kill without leaving a trace. But it was useless against the Devouring Beast.

4277 looked at Jing Yuan, sighed, and said, "I overlooked something just now."

"what happened?"

"To maintain the strength of the blade, the simpler the blade design, the better. If we make the blade structure complex in order to assemble the blade, it will affect the strength of the blade."

Jingyuan also understood this principle: one cannot have both fish and bear's paw.

If he had to choose, Jingyuan would still prioritize the blade's strength, since it was intended for use against the Devouring Beast.

Jingyuan, holding the throwing knife in his hand, said to 4277, "We'll prioritize ensuring the strength of the blade."

"There's still one problem. We don't have magnetic coating."

"Magnetic coating?" Jing Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly had an idea.

Chapter 20 Special Gravity Body

Nowadays, most of the supplies on the lighthouse are collected from the ground.

The old world had a lot of industrial remnants, and by collecting these materials, the people on the lighthouse were able to survive for decades.

Of all the collected supplies, raw materials are the most abundant and the cheapest to find at the lighthouse.

Because many production lines in the Old World cannot be replicated, the more refined a product is, the more expensive it becomes.

Magnetic coating is a finely processed composite material used on gravity bodies. It is extremely rare on lighthouses and is subject to strict control.

There are only so many gravity bodies on the lighthouse, and only so many materials available for maintenance; every bit used is one less available.

Jingyuan told 4277 that he would try to figure out how to make magnetic coatings, and then left the workshop.

Jingyuan arrived at the armory, hoping to find materials through the hunters.

Just then, Erica came to find Jingyuan.

Jing Yuan passed the test and is now a member of the Wilderness Hunters.

During the last ground operation, Mark had already discovered that Jing Yuan was excellent at controlling the gravity body, so he directly assigned Jing Yuan to pilot the gravity body.

Upon learning that Jingyuan and Erica were classmates, Erica was asked to find Jingyuan and take him to the repair room for final adjustments to the gravity body.

The gravity body assigned to Jing Yuan was a modified gravity body. It excelled in close combat and had high mobility, which was why few people had been able to unleash its full potential before.

Erica brought Jingyuan to the research department.

Seeing the sign for the research department, Jingyuan was very puzzled. "Why is it the research department?"

Erica replied, "Captain Mark requested that your gravity body be upgraded to its maximum strength. This kind of in-depth repair and modification is usually done by the research department!"

Jingyuan followed Erica into the research department.

There are several Gravity Bodies under repair here; judging from their appearance, they were probably damaged in previous battles.

Repairs to gravity bodies of this magnitude are handled by the research department. The ordnance depot can only perform minor modifications and repairs.

Jing Yuan looked at the gravity body directly in front of him. It had a white fuselage and black limbs, and it looked like it had been temporarily pieced together.

Jing Yuan thought to himself, "Could this be the gravity body that was assigned to me?"

He prayed that it wasn't true, but looking around, he saw that only this gravity body was intact.

Erica pointed at the gravity body and said, "Look, this is your gravity body!"

These words shattered Jingyuan's illusions completely.

"Sister Jingnan! Jingyuan is here!" Erica called out to the front.

A stunningly beautiful woman with a hot figure emerged from behind the gravity body.

She had her hair tied up and wore only a vest, which showed off her perfect figure.

"Is she Jingnan?" Jingyuan asked in a low voice.

Jingnan is a high-rise building of the lighthouse, and it is rarely seen.

In Jingyuan's memory, Jingnan always wore a uniform.

This outfit is quite rare.

But Jingnan is in charge of the lighthouse's flight, so why would he come here to repair the gravity body?

"Yes, I am Jing Nan!" She looked at Jing Yuan and asked, "You must be Jing Yuan!"

"Yes."

"So you and Mark fought to a draw?" Jing Nan looked at Jing Yuan with great interest.

"The captain was just showing mercy."

"You're quite modest. So many people saw it, your strength is no weaker than Mark's! That's why Mark specifically asked me to help adjust your gravity body to the level of 'Dawn'!" Jing Nan patted the gravity body next to him and said, "I'm not sure if you can handle this kind of mobility, so I asked you to come and try it out, and then make the final adjustments based on your feedback."

Looking at the gravity structure in front of him, Jing Yuan asked in confusion, "What kind of performance can this assembled gravity structure have?"

When Jing Nan heard that Jing Yuan didn't believe his work, he frowned slightly and said, "We can't produce gravity bodies on the Lighthouse, so we can only recycle the intact parts. Although it's a pieced-together machine, its performance is no weaker than Mark's 'Dawn'!"

Jingyuan smiled awkwardly. The lighthouse only had this one condition, and there was no way to choose.

Fortunately, I have the system to assist me and I continue to grow stronger in the later stages, so the gravity body is dispensable.

However, at this stage, gravity is still very helpful to me.

"Why don't you go up and try it out? If you don't like it, I can adjust the output power slightly and reduce the performance a bit," Jingnan suggested.

Hearing Jingnan's slight disdain for his abilities, Jingyuan's fighting spirit flared up. "If I try and find the performance too weak, can it be enhanced again?"

Jing Nan looked on with a puzzled expression. This kid is too arrogant!

She tuned Mark's gravity-based 'Dawn' to match, and he thinks it's too weak? Does he think he's stronger than Mark?

"Try it first and then we'll see!"

"I want to make a bet with you!" Jing Yuan looked at Jing Nan, an idea popping into his head.

"What should we bet on?" Jingnan also had a competitive spirit.

"Hmm!" Jing Yuan thought for a moment and said, "If I can perfectly control this gravity body, in addition to helping me enhance its performance, you also have to grant me one more request!"

“No problem!” Jing Nan agreed without hesitation.

The gravity body "Dawn" has very strong performance. Except for Mark, other users need to lock the frequency to use it, otherwise it is difficult to control.

She didn't believe that the young man in front of her could control it perfectly.

"Okay!" Jing Yuan entered the gravity body and activated it according to the procedure.

Jingnan picked up a computer and monitored the situation of the gravity body in real time.

"Come on! Forward!"

With a thought, Jing Yuan's gravity body moved forward freely, just like his own body.

"Jump...run..."

Jingnan conducted tests one by one.
