“Magic Crystal Main Valve can be seen as a fusion of an engine and a processor.”
Le Da Yuan explained his concept to everyone, just to help them understand what was going on. He knew that the specifics would be beyond their comprehension.
Suddenly, a part of Battle Fortress No. 3 opened up, revealing a network of intersecting armor and protective doors, exposing the core inside.
Everyone gasped in surprise as they saw incredibly complex energy circuits, glowing brightly in the dark environment of the secret realm. All these shining energy lines converged into a regular twelve-sided polyhedron.
On this large object, which had an internal diameter of about one and a half meters, many magic crystals were neatly embedded. Each crystal was wrapped by slightly thinner energy lines, forming separate zones. Through these somewhat transparent energy lines, they could also see that the inside contained similar cables, bending and extending, forming the core along with some components.
That must be the core of the Magic Crystal Main Valve, consisting of drive, deconcentrator, and converter components.
“Oh my God, fifth-level magic crystals, there must be thousands of them!” Candy blinked her big eyes and exclaimed.
The magic crystal weapon that required the most magic crystals previously had just reached around three digits, which was already impressive. Everyone knew that there was energy loss when extracting energy from magic crystals, a term known as conversion rate, which is a technical bottleneck restricting the development of magic crystal weapons.
Although under Le Da Yuan's leadership, Cloud Summit had been constantly improving the conversion rate, due to many issues like stability and safety, there were still limits on the number of magic crystals that could be used on a single weapon.
But seeing this, everyone understood that Le Da Yuan must have made a breakthrough in conversion rate or even completely solved the problem; otherwise, it would be impossible for so many magic crystals to collectively become the core and provide energy for so many magic crystal weapons.
“Three thousand six hundred pieces.” Le Da Yuan proudly announced this number, prompting a collective gasp from the crowd.
“Full extreme firepower!” Le Da Yuan raised a finger, “I mean under full extreme firepower, this Magic Crystal Main Valve can provide this Battle Fortress with a continuous attack time of up to eighty-two minutes.”
The crowd gasped again. Full extreme firepower meant unleashing all firepower without any reservation, and it could last for over an hour!
That was truly frightening.
“If it’s just to deal with normal intensity battles, then the Battle Fortress can go for an entire day without needing to replace the magic crystals on the main valve.”
Many people thought of the impending battle. This Battle Fortress No. 3 would not start with full firepower; it would use various methods together with the other two, so it might not even need normal intensity. Using energy sources for two days before replacement should pose no problem at all.
Le Da Yuan waved his hand, and several protective measures around the Magic Crystal Main Valve closed, restoring the Battle Fortress to its previous appearance.
“Now back to the previous question, what happened to the core energy that was saved.” Le Da Yuan pointed to a spot, “The micro nuclear reactor is inside. The removed nuclear energy rotating machines have two uses: one is to form a layer of energy armor on the surface of the entire Battle Fortress, which can resist damage. The other use is to enhance the power of the ice and fire ejectors.”
“Not to mention the already extreme ice ejectors, which are currently the limit of what humanity can achieve, but the flame ejector can further raise the temperature, and some nuclear energy is utilized for this.”
Le Da Yuan patted the cold mechanical body of the Battle Fortress, as if envisioning a scene of flames burning.
“Although I've made some improvements to the micro nuclear reactor with the help of technicians from the resistance area, I have retained the self-destruct capability.” Le Da Yuan's voice turned low, “I hope we never have to use this capability, but just in case... at least we have a final means.”
