Yama Rising

Chapter 1198: Spacecraft (2)



Chapter 1198: Spacecraft (2)

All of the scientists and trainees stood up virtually in unison as they looked on with incredulous expressions. Right before their astonished eyes, Yin energy was surging in formidable waves, causing their clothes to flap incessantly and all of the items on the entire platform to tremble and shake.

This was Yama-King level Yin energy, yet no one could see a second Yama-King present.

Thus, the only explanation was that their King Yanluo had brought out a Yama-King level object!

Will we finally have something to do other than read the Omeyocan plan over and over again? Will we finally be able to compete with the Yin Mountains Research Institute?

No one knew just how frustrating their job was. They were given fantastic benefits, but they had nothing to do! The entire nation was rapidly becoming more powerful, and the confidence that the population had in the nation was growing by the day, but they had nothing to do with that!

However, all that was about to change!

A young scientist adjusted his own glasses before immediately rushing over. He was followed by all of the other scientists present, who also converged toward the center of the platform as quickly as they could.

"Hey! Don't push! Get out of my way!"

"Oi, who just passed through my body right now? Follow the rules, damn it!"

"Have you no shame?! Levitation is prohibited here! How many times has the president told us that?!"

A loud commotion instantly rang out as the center of the platform was completely surrounded, and Zu Chongzhi was thoroughly embarrassed as he yelled, "Everyone, get back to 10 meters away! You're making a fool out of yourselves in front of our King Yanluo! Anyone who gets any closer will be stripped of their right to continue participating in the research!"

Under normal circumstances, that threat would carry no weight at all as there was nothing to research anyway.

However, all of the scientists immediately backed away like obedient kittens upon hearing this, then instantly extended their heads forward by several meters. There were even some who went as far as to detach their own heads and toss them forward so that they could hang around the hole like orbiting stars.

"Get your heads back as well!" Zu Chongzhi was almost roaring with fury at this point.

Can these people not have some restraint?! What an utter disgrace!

"It's alright," Qin Ye said with a faint smile, then quickly made a string of hand seals, and the small black ball at the center of the hole immediately exploded. A burst of powerful Yin energy was released, following which a skull with a head of red hair appeared above the hole.

Everyone fell silent in this instant.

This was what they had been dreaming of for years, and even Zu Chongzhi was completely speechless in this moment. Everyone here knew the Omeyocan plan back to front, so it was immediately apparent to them that this was the required medium for them to construct their super telescope!

Furthermore, they could sense that this skull was even more powerful than that of the average Yama-King! Not only was it giving off Yama-King level Yin energy, it was also releasing a type of indescribable energy fluctuations that no one had ever felt before!

Several seconds later, Zu Chongzhi was the first one to return to his senses, and he took a deep breath before turning around. "All groups, begin discussion right away! Report all available personnel to me! We will only be needing three group for this area!"

Even though the Sword Coral Research Institute was responsible for the space exploration project, the project could be divided into several major areas, including materials, design, crafting, etc.

At the moment, there were over 20 groups in total, and most of them were dedicated to design and crafting, so not many could be spared.

However, the scientists immediately began to raise objections upon hearing this.

"Three groups?! That head is massive! How can three groups be enough?"

"I'm afraid I'll have to disagree here, President. Design is a comprehensive process that requires involvement in all parts of a project. If we're not involved, how will we know how to design the telescope?"

"That's right! Firstly, we'll need to get an in-depth understanding of the anatomy of this head, and that's something that can only be achieved through extended observation. Experience is the mother of wisdom! How can we develop wisdom if you don't let us experiment?"

This was the only breakthrough that could allow the project to advance, and everyone was desperate to be involved.

Why is it that some people get to work on this while we have to stand by and watch? Are you doubting my skills? How about we compare our credentials from the mortal realm?

A loud commotion quickly broke out, and Zu Chongzhi was feeling the onset of a headache. He heaved a faint sigh, yet right as he was about to speak, Qin Ye beat him to it. "Please be quiet, everyone!"

His Yama-King level Yin energy swept over the entire platform, and everyone immediately fell silent. Qin Ye smiled as he swept his gaze across everyone present, then asked, "What's the rush?"

What's the rush?

Everyone faltered slightly upon hearing this before the fervent looks in their eyes became even more pronounced.

Does that mean... there's more?

Qin Ye didn't try to build any suspense, and he made a grabbing motion right in front of everyone's eager eyes, upon which another black ball appeared in his grasp. On this occasion, as soon as the black ball appeared, the netherfire in the eyes of all of the scientists present erupted violently, and they frantically retreated to several dozen meters away.

Their reaction was purely instinctive, one that was natural in the face of any apex predator.

They could sense that the black ball posed a lethal threat to them, one that was near inevitable, much like the power of laws!

Zu Chongzhi was also in the same situation. His chest was heaving violently, and his back was pressed tightly against a table as he asked, "Your Excellency, could it be..."

"That's right, it's a being above the Yama-King level," Qin Ye replied with a smile. "And it's also going to be our spacecraft."

As soon as his voice trailed off, a streak of light erupted straight into the dark heavens up above. Immediately thereafter, a burst of golden Yin energy rose up into the sky like a reverse waterfall, and layers upon layers of Yin clouds instantly gathered, creating a breathtaking sight to behold.

A loud buzzing sound rang out, following which a massive butterfly that was over 100 kilometers in size descended from the Yin clouds.

The entire platform instantly fell deathly silent.

In comparison with this gargantuan object, the scientists down below were like specks of dust. This was also the present that had lied beyond the final gate in the Heavenly Dao's palace of ice, the complete physical body of the inner demon.

Even though this wasn't the first time that Qin Ye had seen this body, he still couldn't help but be awestruck in its presence.

From the moment that he first laid eyes on it, a concept of the spacecraft had already emerged in his heart. Nothing was more suitable for this purpose. The body of a being above the Yama-King level was virtually indestructible, and if it were to be used as a spacecraft, it would undoubtedly be the ruler of the cosmos!

"Your Excellency, is this... Is this really for us?" A trembling voice rang out.

Can we really modify such a legendary entity?

"Of course," Qin Ye replied with a smile. "This is the foundation of our future spacecraft. If I give you five years, will you be able to complete this project?"

"For sure!"

"Yes! As long as we have sufficient resources, we'll be able to produce a decisive result within four and a half years!"

"That's not difficult at all! All we have to do is devise a blueprint according to the structure of this body! We can even directly incorporate elements from the Omeyocan spacecraft!"

A flurry of excited voices instantly rang out, and Ma Xingchun was so excited that his hands were trembling. He swung around to face Zu Chongzhi as he urged, "Please give the order now, President! I'm willing to make a pledge right here, right now, that I'll produce an outcome within the next five years with the three research and development groups!"

"Not so fast!" An elderly Yin spirit with a head of white hair suddenly stepped forward with around a dozen scientists behind him. "What makes you think you have the right to take on this project? Do you think I'm so old that I'm already senile? How many credentials do you have compared with mine? I think my second group is most qualified to take on this project!"

Before he had a chance to finish, another elderly man stepped forward. "From the Chang'e project to the Yutu project, I've been the designer of six of the total of 14 satellites! I think we would all agree that the most skilled and qualified personnel should be assigned to this project, and that would undoubtedly be me and my group!"

"That must be why both Chang'e-2 and Yutu-3 failed!"

"Even so, I still created four successful satellites! What have you done that could even begin to compare with that?"

With these incredible resources presented to them, it would only be a matter of time before they outdid the Yin Mountains Research Institute, and no one wanted to pass up this opportunity!

Amid the commotion and chaos, Qin Ye silently departed. It was up to the scientists to decide who would take on which projects, he had more important things to do.

He had to begin planting footholds in Amano-Iwato in preparation for the future invasion.

This was also going to be a lengthy process. Among Hell's Yama-Kings, both Arthis and the Harken were extremely arrogant. If he were to send them to the Nipponese Underworld for negotiations, they would most likely instigate a war right away!

Zhao Yun was also unsuitable for the task. He was quite calm, but he wasn't a brilliant politician. As for Abyssal Prefects and Infernal Judges, they would simply fail to properly represent the Cathayan Underworld.

Thus, the task had to fall upon his shoulders.

"However, before that, I have some things to do," he murmured to himself before vanishing as a gust of Yin wind, and shortly thereafter, he had already arrived at the North Yin Pavilion in Everburn.

He sat down at his own desk before writing out two imperial edicts, then knocked onto his desk, following which Secretary Jiang quickly made his way into the office.

"Take this to the panel of advisors," Qin Ye said as he handed Secretary Jiang one of the imperial edicts, then continued, "This one goes to the Hanyang Underworld."

Secretary Jiang picked up the imperial edicts before taking a look, and the netherfire in his eyes immediately flickered slightly.

The first imperial edict instructed the panel of advisors to devise as detailed a wartime strategy as possible within a season with the Nipponese Underworld as the hypothetical enemy.

The second imperial edict was a summons to the ruler of Hanyang, Liu Yu.

Both of these imperial edicts were teeming with killing intent, and Secretary Jiang carefully stowed them up his sleeve. Before he had a chance to leave the room, Qin Ye called out, "Hold on."

After a brief silence, he continued, "Deliver a confidential verbal edict to Qin Hui, tell him that if any stirrings of a rebellion emerge in the Hanyang Underworld, kill all those involved with no exceptions!"
