Some say not to put all your eggs in one basket, and Ye Zhongming understands this principle well. In many aspects, he always keeps some backup options.
In his previous life, he had seen too many evolvers die helplessly without any trump cards, and it was during one such moment of being unprepared that he was killed by a lurking enemy.
So, in this life, he always makes sure to provide himself, Cloud Summit, and some key members with backup measures.
Liu Zhenghong and Le Da Yuan, as the two most important people in Cloud Summit Villa besides Ye Zhongming, naturally received the highest priority assistance.
Aside from having experts protecting them at all times, they also had their own means of survival, and not just one.
Moreover, due to their unique identities and capabilities that others could not possess, some of their trump cards bore a striking resemblance to them, like the silver sphere that Le Da Yuan had produced.
Le Da Yuan referred to this object as Silver Ghost.
It was equipment that he and Ye Zhongming had jointly created, a product that combined Earth's technology with roulette technology.
The initial inspiration came from the Jingjue Floating Sphere, which opened a new door for Le Da Yuan and showed him a brand new path.
However, at that time, roulette technology still dominated, with Earth technology being used less frequently. The samples had been processed by Ye Zhongming, who had also added levels and structural changes, meaning Le Da Yuan learned very little from it.
What truly supplemented and enhanced his ideas in this area was the arrival of several war fortresses.
During the modification process, Le Da Yuan had two other models for reference and comparison, making the advantages and disadvantages clear. He wasn't afraid of damaging them; at worst, he could rebuild based on the other two. Therefore, modifying a completely new war fortress became a learning and practical process for him.
With his excellent knowledge base and the physical and mental leaps brought by being an evolver, Le Da Yuan mastered the related techniques in a very short time.
Not only did he learn, but he also came up with entirely new ideas.
Cloud Summit Villa was not a resistance zone, and the resources at hand were still quite limited, especially the high-end materials that had been strictly controlled even during peacetime, which were completely non-existent.
So, Le Da Yuan and Cloud Summit Villa were unable to assist the war fortresses.
For someone like Le Da Yuan, who took great pride in his area of expertise, this was more painful than being beaten up.
Thus, ever since he modified the war fortress, he had been contemplating this issue. When Ye Zhongming returned to Cloud Summit, he pulled him in to constantly experiment with various materials, trying out all sorts of bizarre and imaginative ideas.
In the end, he really managed to create something.
It was precisely this silver sphere that had just been used.
This piece of equipment, which Le Da Yuan called Silver Ghost, was extremely complex to manufacture. It involved not only Le Da Yuan's own expertise but also the cooperation of four others: Liu Zhenghong, Ye Zhongming, and the other two professionals.
One was the person with micro-sculpting technology, and the other was the evolver with the "Soul Hunter" skill.
These four, along with Le Da Yuan, completed the creation of these two small spheres.
Le Da Yuan was responsible for manufacturing the basic components, Ye Zhongming handled the improvement and enhancement of these parts' levels and performance, and the micro-sculpting expert managed their fitting and micro capabilities.
The special part resided in Liu Zhenghong and the Soul Hunter evolver.
Because of material limitations, Le Da Yuan was unable to use advanced technology from Earth, so he turned his attention to his wife, Liu Zhenghong, using genetic life as the core and some components of the device.
The Soul Hunter had a skill that could control tiny life forms and place them into these small spheres, ultimately providing the most crucial element—energy.
