If the plan wasn't crazy enough, the hope of survival wouldn't be high!
Now that they were in such a perilous situation, if they still conformed to normal rules and logic, they would only be waiting for death.
The energy within the flying shuttle was rapidly being consumed. If they didn't enter a wormhole, it would be impossible for them to finish the journey. In the end, all of them would die when the energy reserve of the flying shuttle was exhausted.
Outside the flying shuttle, there were only vast stretches of blank space, a vacuum environment. There was nothing else!
Despite the fact that the Flowerfruit Mountain shuttle had a large amount of energy reserve at the start, if there were no minerals or resources that could be extracted nearby to replenish its expenditure, it was only natural that the energy reserve would be used up.
If they continued waiting, there would truly be no difference from death.
Only by cutting off all means of retreat would they be able to struggle through and find a ray of hope for survival!
At this moment, an incomparably bold and crazy plan already began to form in Feng Lin's mind.
But now, the time wasn't ripe yet. He had to make ample preparations before the plan could work.
The geneticists worked together, forming an extremely effective assembly line that operated like flowing water. In a single day, over a hundred liter of crimson refinement gunpowder solution was created.
Feng Lin used his spirit force and made the solution float in the air. He then controlled them to float after him as he headed into the secret medicinal refinement chamber at the depths of the flying shuttle while avoiding the gazes of the crowd.
"How is he going to handle these potions?"
"Would the crimson refinement gunpowder really have the same effect as what the medicinal recipe says? Would it be able to unleash unfathomable might?"
"Unbelievable!"
...
The geneticists stared at his departing back as they were filled with extreme curiosity.
Feng Lin didn't bother with them and had already started the next step in secret.
The medicinal crystallization technique must not be easily divulged. In the future, he would depend on this as a core technique to set up his own school of thoughts in medicinal refinement. He naturally didn't want people to pry into this.
Inside the medicinal refinement chamber, Feng Lin's spirit force gushed forth. The 100 liters of crimson refinement gunpowder floated in the air as he began to refine them all in one go.
Given his current powerful mental state, he could already multitask effectively. Let alone doing two things simultaneously, it wasn't even a problem for him to focus and do a thousand things together at the same time!
He continued to perform hand gestures to control the intensity of the fire.
His spirit force was like a knife, rapidly slashing through the red solution and splitting them into smaller portions. Under the augmentation of his spirit force, the fire was controlled perfectly, blazing slowly.
Very soon, each portion of solution began to generate tiny crystals.
Chi, chi, chi~
The solution continued to evaporate as the smell of gunpowder permeated the atmosphere.
Tiny red crystals formed and could be seen floating in the remainder of the solution.
Splitting his focus to multitask on so many things was something Feng Lin had never attempted before.
But since he had a feeling he could succeed, he simply went ahead and did it.
However, if his spirit force was used in such a manner over a long period, the amount of consumption would be extremely great as well.
Although he had succeeded, it didn't mean that it had been effortless for him.
Feng Lin adjusted his breathing and calmed his state of mind. He continued to perform hand gestures and control the intensity of the fire.
Hu!
Finally, he heaved a sigh of relief as a smile appeared on his face.
The solution was now completely evaporated, leaving behind a pile of tiny floating crystals that shone resplendently.
Feng Lin controlled his spirit force and continued to refine them. After all, 100 liters of solution was refined, the end result was a bucket of tiny red crystals.
He then sealed the crystals into vacuum test tubes and walked out of the chamber, instantly attracting the attention of all the geneticists.
"It is really a success?"
"Genetic potions in a solid-state, how is this possible?"
"These crystals contain vast amounts of energy within. They are simply akin to explosives!"
...
These geneticists were like children who had received their favorite toys. They continued to observe the crystals with a look of awe and disbelief on their faces.
One must know that before this, none of them had believed that it would have succeeded.
This wasn't scientific at all, not genetic at all!
But now, the truth was clearly displayed before their eyes. The medicinal recipe was truly effective!
(The unscientific had become the scientific!)
(So medicinal refinement could be done like this as well?)
(Solid-state genetic potions, how did this Feng Lin accomplish this?)
...
Many of the geneticists here had awoken spirit or mental-type mythological genes. They used their mental energy to probe and soon discovered the violent medicinal potency within the crystals. In their perception, they could see the medicinal potency was being locked together by a unique crystalline structure which forced the potion to enter the solid-state.
Their lips trembled; they weren't able to say anything. Their gazes at Feng Lin became different.
Not only was this Feng Lin good at cultivation, but he could also be a geneticist that could open up his own school of thought!
How many methods did he still have in reserve?
Feng Lin basked in the looks of admiration and awe from everyone before calmly smiling."Now, you all should believe that the medicinal recipe is genuine, right? With these objects, we would have a chance of survival and can escape the pursuit of the spirit race. Now, let us continue to concoct more of the crimson refinement solution!"
"Right!" The geneticists glanced at each other; their confidence was now greatly boosted as they began to focus and started another bout of concoction.
Everyone did their own assigned task well. The assembly line operated like flowing water, and bottles of red solutions were produced by batches and being sent to Feng Lin where they were further refined into medicinal crystals.
The geneticists also grew increasingly familiar with the concoction process and their efficiency continued to rise.
As more and more tubes of crimson crystals appeared, Feng Lin's eyes shone with hope. He felt that the distance between his goal was shortening.
The crazy plan in his mind could finally be started upon.
Other than taking short breaks to rest and recover their energy, Feng Lin and the geneticists were relentless as they continued to concoct.
This crimson refinement gunpowder would be the key to their escape from the spirit race. Thus, none of the geneticists dared slack off.
Finally, at noon, three days later, the concoction process stopped.
"What? The medicinal ingredients are used up?" Feng Lin was astonished when he heard the report from one of the high-grade medicinal refiners.
Without realizing it, the medicinal ingredients had been depleted, but they now had a small mountain of crimson refinement gunpowder.
But even so, all of these were far from sufficient!
If they wanted to deal with the spirit race army, the more crystals they had, the better it would naturally be.
With every additional portion, their chances of success would be greater as well.
But now that there were no longer any medicinal ingredients, what should they do?
Feng Lin furrowed his brows.
"Captain, I have a plan. Some freshmen had interspatial equipment and might have some medicinal ingredients stored with them. How about we gather the ingredients from them?"
"Logical." Feng Lin nodded when he heard that. He instantly used the A. I. to broadcast a message to everyone.
"Dear fellow students, our supply of medicinal ingredients is all used up. Now, we are going to collect medicinal ingredients from all of you in order to concoct more crimson refinement gunpowder to deal with the spirit race. Whether or not we can survive now depends on all of you. Take note, if you have the following ingredients, please hand them over. Crimson crystals, star sand, black crystal ores..."
This method saw an instant effect.
The freshmen naturally understood that their lives were more important. They obediently handed over the relevant medicinal ingredients that they had on them.
Feng Lin nodded silently when he saw the situation.
Although there might be some internal conflicts among humans when vying for resources, everyone could put aside their differences decisively when they had to face external enemies.
This was also the reason why humans could occupy territories despite their mid to low-grade technology. This was their way of survival.
If the hearts of everyone could be united, there would surely be hope!
Finally, after drifting about in outer space for ten days, the ingredients they could collect had all been refined into the crimson refinement gunpowder, which caused their storage to be filled to the brim with it.
Through the A. I. , Feng Lin began to broadcast a message to those in the flying shuttle.
"Fellow students, there are no minerals or resources in our surrounding space. Moreover, the energy reserve of the ship is continuously being consumed and we have no way to replenish it. If this continues on, we would be simply waiting for death. Hence, I've now come up with a crazy plan. I feel that this is our only chance of survival. Success and failure all hinged on this..."
His voice boomed with power, echoing throughout the flying shuttle.
At this moment, regardless of what the freshmen were busy with, all of them stopped their actions and inclined their heads, listening attentively.
