#889 - Entering the Universe, New Armor: 'Sun-Gripping Dragon Armor'

Little Jin understood the profound meaning behind the rising mineral prices and limited supply, but it didn't expect things to happen so quickly.

Although it was only just beginning to show, and sales weren't completely restricted yet, those who needed to import large quantities of minerals and energy had to prepare for a rainy day.

Fortunately, after years of effort, they had laid a very solid industrial foundation.

This city of steam and steel was a symbol of that.

Here, they could even manufacture large steam-powered ironclad warships.

Next, it was time to take things a step further on this foundation.

The steam engine heart still seemed too bulky; replacing it with a lighter, more efficient heart could further accelerate the island's development.

This matter had actually been on Quan Yi's agenda for a while; the situation on the mainland only accelerated the plan.

A faint smile appeared on Little Jin's face as it calmly directed:

"Establish a new research team dedicated to the design and manufacture of internal combustion engines.

I will personally be in charge of this team."

Another burden fell on Little Jin's shoulders, but as the representative of Ultimate Gold, the research and testing of internal combustion engines was not a difficult task for it.

Under Little Jin's leadership, an internal combustion engine research institute was quickly established within the Blacksmiths' Association.

Even more terrifying was that this research institute successfully manufactured a simple four-stroke reciprocating piston internal combustion engine in less than a week.

All the materials and skills were already mature here; what they lacked was the inspiration to unify everything and unleash the potential of the artisans.

And Quan Yi happened to be able to provide some guidance in this area.

To complement the brand-new internal combustion engine, a brand-new vehicle was born.

After combining and experimenting with the two, they discovered that they didn't need to prepare large amounts of coal and water; just a tank of purified fuel could tow the same weight that a steam engine of equal size couldn't.

From then on, the steam engine, which had shone for nearly a decade, was overshadowed by the bright light emitted by the rising star.

The internal combustion engine became the new darling of the Blacksmiths' Association.

At this moment, his entire body was covered in a majestic, fearsome dragon scale armor.

The whole body was purplish-red and gold, and each component was tightly fitted together, without a single gap.

However, the entire armor seemed to be breathing, automatically inhaling the surrounding air and yuan power.

Compared to the slightly bulky Crimson Dragon Skyfire Armor before, this new armor maintained a sense of power while presenting a streamlined arc overall.

Even the huge propulsion box behind him had disappeared.

Inside the armor, Quan Yi felt the armor automatically absorbing external energy and converting it into its own energy. Through the transparent crystal steel screen of the helmet's eye area, he could see the data of each part.

Although, with mental connection, Quan Yi could sense the state of the armor as if he were sensing his own body.

But holographic projection was a man's romance, how could Quan Yi miss this point?

Inside the armor, Quan Yi didn't need to use his Dragon Eyes; the crystal steel of his pupils automatically shrunk and magnified the things in front of him.

"Little Armor, establish a predetermined ascent channel, target: space!"

Looking at the various gorgeous data and images flowing before him, Quan Yi's inner passion was boiling with the armor.

At this time, a unique mechanical voice, the voice of Quan Yi's childhood, came from inside the helmet.

"Understood, constructing the shortest distance channel now.

Armor internal energy storage complete.

All parts of the armor are in good condition.

Shortest channel picture constructed, now projected onto the screen.

All preparations are complete, do you need autopilot?"

"No, I want to do it myself."

The mechanical voice no longer asked, "Okay, please enjoy the voyage, Master."

Under Little Armor's cordial greeting, Quan Yi took over control of the armor; thrusters appeared on the palms of his hands and feet.

At the same time, the streamlined armor of his limbs and torso opened outwards, revealing the miniaturized thrusters inside.

The thrusters, now recast by Quan Yi, could easily withstand the scorching of the Profound Yang True Fire, and could compress and amplify the flames.

Although Quan Yi was not using the power of his Martial Soul and Soul Bones, this armor provided him with a blessing no less than the former two.

The expressionless, cold helmet faced the sky, and a blazing white pillar of fire erupted from the thrusters.

In a huge roar, the purplish-red and gold armor transformed into a humanoid rocket and soared into the sky at extreme speed.

"Bang!"

A sonic boom appeared on the surface of the mecha as it broke the sound barrier.

The flying speed of the golden armor easily surpassed the speed of sound.

In an instant, Quan Yi's figure turned into a black dot and disappeared into the air.

At this moment, Quan Yi felt the rapid increase in gravitational acceleration, and the pressure on his body also increased.

He could have used the armor's gravity adjustment ability to counteract the acceleration, but he deliberately enjoyed the reaction force brought by the extreme speed, constantly strengthening it.

The upper air was filled with a large amount of pure yuan power, but the tranquility here was completely disturbed by the loud noise released by the armor.

The violent vibration expanded outwards from Quan Yi as the center.

In the process of continuous ascent, the planet's gravity could no longer drag Quan Yi down.

The azure sky gradually disappeared, replaced by a deep darkness that even the armor's visor's long-range vision could not penetrate.

The noisy sound of breaking through the air suddenly became silent at the moment it exceeded a certain limit.

"This is outer space!"

Quan Yi, in the vast universe, in a space with no gravity and no sound transmission, uttered his exclamation.

At this moment, thousands of emotions and insights surged in Quan Yi's heart.

He looked down at the azure planet and the bright giant fireball in the distance - the sun.

Although these images had long existed in his mind, the scene he was experiencing was completely different from the images in his mind.

"Congratulations, Master, you have successfully entered the space environment.

Armor energy storage remaining 99 percent.

Solar power has been detected, and the armor is automatically absorbing solar power to replenish consumed energy.

The armor's adaptation to the space environment is excellent, and the body test results are normal.

Do you want to turn on the adaptive gravity function?"

"Activate."

The earth-attribute patterns inside the armor flickered, and Quan Yi's weightless body returned to its state on the ground under the action of the internal patterns.

Outside the armor, the dragon pattern seams flickered with golden-red fluorescence. The unimpeded sunlight in outer space shone on the purplish-red and gold armor surface, and the solar power, which directly traversed through the vacuum state, was heavily drawn by the armor.

The energy consumed by the ascension was instantly restored.

Looking at the sun in the distance, Quan Yi couldn't help but reach out his hand in a gesture of grasping.

"This armor will be called the 'Sun-Grasping Divine Dragon Armor'."
