Chapter 398: Rapid Improvement

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

One had the intent to teach, and a group of people had the intent to learn.

Medicine refiners were geneticists who were originally part of the elites among interstellar humans. Their intelligence was more developed than their peers, and the majority of them had highly retentive memories and a deep grasp of profound knowledge with regards to genetic knowledge and mythological theory.

These people whom Feng Lin retained were all those who were obedient to him.

And with him personally imparting the medicinal refinement technique for the crimson refinement gunpowder, they all learned very quickly.

Feng Lin just had to demonstrate once, and they would immediately be able to learn 70% to 80% of it. They only needed to pay more attention to the minor details and practice more to achieve perfection.

If they practiced for three days, it meant three days of failure.

Even now, there wasn’t any successful concoction that had left the refinement chamber.

Feng Lin also didn’t act personally. Other than cultivating assiduously, he would guide these people on the Medicinal Crystallization Creation Technique,

Without a foundation in alchemy, without enough mental energy to survey the microscopic world, it would be exceedingly difficult to master the Medicinal Crystallization Creation Technique.

However, he wasn’t worried about them at all.

Although the speed was slow, they were gaining the knowledge and experience gradually bit by bit.

As long as they understood the core point, all other things would come to them naturally. It didn’t matter even if they still failed for now.

The team responsible for refining the crimson refinement gunpowder began to improve slowly. Finally, they arrived at the final step.

This final step was also the most crucial one. They had to refine the liquid solution into solid crystals.

It involved splitting of atoms, the control of temperature, and the amount of spirit force inserted…All these were details that needed extreme precision!

One had to fully focus!

In truth, all of them had already mastered all the previous steps. They were only stuck in the final step and had no way of breaking past the barrier.

They could only depend on huge amounts of practice to improve bit by bit, searching for the crux.

Finally, someone succeeded on the sixth day!

This person who succeeded was actually a young man of about twenty. Other than Feng Lin, he was one of the youngest in the refinement chamber. He was a third-grade medicinal refiner and had one of the lowest grades among those who remained.

Hence, he understood how fortunate it was for him to remain behind.

With regard to Feng Lin’s request, he didn’t dare to be careless at all. He practiced through day and night, spending all his time in the refinement chamber. He finally became the first person to succeed in concocting the crimson refinement gunpowder.

Although his current success rate was still very low, roughly around 10%, a success was still a success.

If one succeeded once, they could definitely succeed a second time.

As one continued to practice, the success rate would naturally increase.

Although he wouldn’t be able to reach Feng Lin’s height and achieve a 100% success rate due to the difference in talent and ability, he could still become somewhat accomplished.

As long as he was willing to put in the effort, it was possible for him to achieve a success rate of around 50%.

This was already sufficient!

“From today onwards, Han Zhen will be your vice-captain. In the future, you can ask him for guidance regarding the crimson refinement gunpowder’s concoction. I’ve already shown all of you the technique, it’s just that each person’s understanding and feel is different. You all have to find the rhythm you are suitable with, because I won’t be able to teach you anything regarding that. Maybe, Han Zhen can give you all some inspiration,” Feng Lin stated. With regard to people who wanted to learn seriously, he wouldn’t be stingy and would reward them when needed. He directly promoted the lowest-ranked mid-grade medicinal refiner to the vice-captain position.

It was understandable that others would feel sullen.

Among them, there were many high-grade medicinal refiners. It was already embarrassing that a young man like Feng Lin became their captain. Now, another young brat who was merely a mid-grade medicinal refiner actually climbed to the top of their heads and became their vice-captain?

Feng Lin couldn’t care less about their feelings. Even if these people felt reluctance, they had to accept it no matter what.

Although they were high-grade medicinal refiners and many were proficient in profound medicinal refinement techniques, they could be of no help to Feng Lin’s team at this moment.

Since this was the crimson refinement gunpowder team, the most important criteria was naturally the concoction of the crimson refinement gunpowder.

This mid-grade medicinal refiner was the first to succeed. This indicated that his attainments in the understanding of crimson refinement gunpowder were above the rest. He had earned the position of vice-captain in this team with his own abilities.

When Han Zhen heard this, his eyes widened, a shocked look appeared on his face.

“Captain, how can this be?” His voice trembled. “These geneticists are all my seniors, and I just succeeded due to luck. How can I guide them?”

(This brat knows what’s good for him!)

The others glanced at each other as their eyes flickered.

Feng Lin ignored them. He patted Han Zhen on his shoulder. “Don’t undervalue yourself. If I say you can, you can. Even if you can’t, you have to make it! Given how strict the requirements are, there’s no such thing as luck. Since you can succeed, it means that your understanding is greater than them. What can’t you do?”

Han Zhen’s heart was filled with gratitude. He wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say.

Feng Lin waved his hand. “My decision is final. No need to persuade me to change my mind.”

Han Zhen opened his mouth and closed it again when he heard Feng Lin’s words.

Upon seeing the sullen looks on the faces of others, Feng Lin coldly smiled. “In this team, your capability is everything. Regardless of your background, your grade, or your experience, if you all are unwilling, you can leave. The people from the Great Wall Army would be glad to replace you guys.”

His voice was backed up by an awe-inspiring tone, causing the geneticists in the team to tremble, no longer daring to have foolish thoughts. They lowered their heads and continued to research the crimson refinement gunpowder.

Han Zhen had a thankful look on his face. He knew that his captain did this to help him establish his might. In the future, these people would no longer dare play their little tricks and target him.

And under the stimulation from Han Zhen’s success, the others began to put in more effort as they practiced.

With a good start, the following concoction attempts were smoother as well.

More and more people succeeded in the concoction of the crimson refinement gunpowder.

The refinement chamber finally began its production officially!

Feng Lin’s guidance was the key. When the other refiners attempted the concoction, he would instantly point out any flaw he spotted and remedy them with his advance, allowing the concoction to be smoother, as well as allowing the medicinal refiners to gain experience. This caused their success rate to become higher and higher as well.

The production rate of the refinement chamber increased day by day.

20 kg, 50kg, 80kg, 100kg…

They had no production at all during the first few days. But once the ball got rolling, under the effort of sentient robots and geneticists, the refinement chamber became a machine responsible for the mass production of the crimson refinement gunpowder.

The amount of production was growing exponentially by the day.

In this case, the rate of improvement was simply godly, as there was no problem for them to achieve a production of 100 kg of crimson refinement gunpowder per day!

As for Feng Lin himself, he grew more and more idle and only needed to oversee the production as a whole.

During his free time, he naturally focused on his cultivation. For now, his life was relatively quiet and peaceful.

His cultivation also caused his genetic potential to soar!

After seven days, he gained another free heaven genetic point. He then added it to the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene decisively, strengthening it to four points. His Monkey King Domain also expanded to a radius of 12 meters. The space and laws within his domain were under his absolute control.

And today, the production of the medicinal refinement chamber had already reached 800 kg.

Feng Lin was prepared to head out and accept the mission from the school when the production hit 1,000 kg. But at this moment, the door to the refinement chamber suddenly opened. It was none other than that Lieutenant Colonel with a group of valiant warriors. All of them had heavy expressions on their faces.

“Sir, what’s the matter?” Feng Lin walked out as he asked calmly.

“How much crimson refinement gunpowder have you produced now? Can you hand them all over? We are in urgent need of it!” said the Lieutenant Colonel heavily.

“800 kg.” Although Feng Lin had no idea why the Lieutenant Colonel was so anxious, Feng Lin still replied honestly.

“So much?” The Lieutenant Colonel was startled before joy appeared on his face a moment later. “Feng Lin, my judgment of you was right indeed. The timing is perfect. With so much crimson refinement gunpowder being produced, it would be extremely effective for our plan!”

Even before Feng Lin could think things through, the Lieutenant Colonel’s face suddenly became strict as he spoke with a solemn voice.

“Feng Lin, because your production rate is so outstanding, I believe 1,000 kg would not pose a problem to you. Since this is the case, there’s no need to wait anymore. Now, I will represent the Great Wall Army to promote you to a Lieutenant! Lieutenant Feng Lin, I’m now officially informing you about this. The spirit race just launched an attack. The interstellar racial war is about to start!”
