"The role of formations?"

Faced with Lin Li's inquiry, Hua Jun explained:

"The few arrays you're seeing are actually quite simple. They are a type of first-level floating talismans—this kind of talisman floats based on principles somewhat similar to jet engines, using stored spiritual energy to gain upwards propulsion, rather than anti-gravity technology.

These talismans primarily serve a quick mobility function, which means they can reposition the entire array at will once they capture the opponent.

Thus, we've named the whole combined array as Quick Response Binding Array.

As for how long it can trap the enemy..."

Mentioning the time of the array, Hua Jun paused, his tone slightly more subdued:

"Although the reaction of MC-290 and solid spiritual energy can produce a lot of chemical energy, energy release per unit is only second to nuclear fission.

But even at this magnitude, it is impossible to sustain indefinitely like the energy inside the ice coffin, which seems to be vacuum zero-point energy.

Based on our calculations.

A batch of 2000 cubic centimeters—just enough to provide a cubic meter of barrier zone solid spiritual energy-MC290 mixture, can approximately continuously supply energy for about 45 hours.

All in all, it is close to two days."

Upon hearing the figure of 45 hours, Lin Li instantly showed a joyful expression that was entirely different from Hua Jun.

He softly clicked his tongue, evidently surprised by the duration:

"Academician Hua, this array can actually trap the opponent for more than 40 hours?"

Indeed, Lin Li used the word "actually".

As the camp leader, Lin Li's focus is evidently more inclined towards overall coordination, concerned with the concept of stop-loss.

Honestly speaking.

Two days for controlling a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator are indeed not short.

After all, the barrier zone's mechanism is designed to prevent the uncontrollability once Nascent Soul Realm gets too close; being able to control for even two hours is considered quite successful in terms of defense.

From a conservative standpoint.

Within these two days, the rabbits can entirely transfer personnel and equipment, avoiding an irresistible large-scale annihilation, thereby achieving maximum stop-loss.

Being somewhat proactive.

They could move the enemy to a certain open area to land a massive nuclear payload.

Even Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators will surely die when hit by the center area of a nuclear blast.

If choosing a more aggressive approach.

The rabbits could try injecting some neurotoxins within these two days—like Corynebacterium diphtheriae, etc. As long as the opponent has an mRNA translation process occurring within their body, they will assuredly be poisoned.

Some classmates might find it strange:

No way, Nascent Soul Realm afraid of neurotoxins?

Then it can only be said you underestimate the weight of the words "neurotoxin," many neurotoxins aren't much related to the immune mechanism of individuals, the effect of "interception" is stronger than the so-called toxicity.

Theoretically speaking.

Unless you are iron-based life forms, it's absolutely impossible to avoid harm from neurotoxins.

Especially diphtheria toxin, this top-notch neurotoxin.

The lethal dose for an ordinary person of diphtheria toxin is about 10 ng/kg, what concept does that represent?

For instance.

The total weight of humans worldwide is about 350 million tons, according to this calculation, just a sugar-orange's weight of diphtheria toxin could kill half of humanity.

It's far more potent than snake venom, spider venom, or the ultimate bliss poison.

Hmm? Seems like something odd slipped in?

Perhaps the constitution of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators far exceeds that of ordinary people, allowing them to temporarily inhale a large amount of diphtheria toxin in a wide area and remain unharmed, then restore their state by meditation after retreating from the battlefield.

But placing you in a confined environment with several tens of liters of diphtheria toxin, leaving you no chance to recover, the situation then is truly hard to say.

Of course.

Considering the opponent might possess methods like breath-holding, or perhaps means to self-supply oxygen, etc.

So not to say it's certain that the opponent will die.

At least from a probabilistic view, even if the opponent does not die in the end, it's unlikely they'd maintain a complete state.

Moreover, the rabbits can also drag out the time—as breath-holding is absolutely not a method for prolonged use, otherwise, those Nascent Souls would have flown out of the universe long ago.

Based on some ancient records collected by the rabbits, to be eligible for 'celestial traversal,' one's realm needs to be above Divinity Transformation, at least.

It's really not hard to understand—only by enduring some exceptionally special Thunder Tribulations, thoroughly transforming one's structure mechanisms can one survive in a vacuum for a certain period.

Therefore, under such circumstances, the rabbits can fully engage in an exhaustion strategy against the trapped opponent.

Though currently, the rabbits have only seven demon beast crystals, such resources can indeed be purchased, since early-stage third-level demon beasts are not too few or too many.

Compared to rare items like Celestial Earth Crystals, demonic beast crystals are not as common or as expensive.

A demonic beast crystal of the early third tier can be bought for about twenty thousand Spirit Stones, similar to an early third-tier Sword Qi Talisman.

Once the funds from the floating formation method come in, keeping a dozen of these crystals on hand for the rabbits shouldn't be difficult.

When one demonic beast crystal runs out, they just switch to another. If it doesn't work for two days, then try four, and if that fails, extend to six days.

Demonic beast crystals are indeed precious, but if they can be exchanged for a half-dead Nascent Soul or a Nascent Soul corpse... sacrificing dozens of them is worth it.

Of course.

If by the time the demonic beast crystals are nearly gone and the opponent still isn't poisoned, then it would be best to say "to hell with it" and prepare for nuclear cremation.

In summary.

With this tool, the rabbits at least have some degree of initiative, much like having a defense tower behind them.

Even if the enemy is one or two levels ahead, trying to overpower the tower won't be easy.

Then Lin Li continued to ask:

"By the way, Academician Hua, how is this array activated? Does the opponent have to step into it?"

Hua Jun considered for a moment and said:

"That's right. Currently, the array requires the opponent to enter it to activate.

But do you remember the capturing device we used for the two-headed ox?

We've optimized the capturing device to launch a small, high-pressure array that lasts about ten seconds.

Once a modified capturing shot hits the opponent, the remaining array can just plaster itself on their face."

Lin Li frowned in confusion:

"Are you talking about the 5.6-surface scattering method? That's a solution, but how can you ensure it hits a Nascent Soul stage enemy?"

Hua Jun shrugged:

"Firepower coverage."

Lin Li:

"?"

Hua Jun patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Old Lin, don't forget, our conditions are based on a close-range encounter with a Nascent Soul.

A Fourth-Layer Nascent Soul's usual flying speed is about 8-900 meters per second—approximately Mach 2.45, similar to Ultraman Tiga's basic speed.

This speed isn't slow, but if a close-range battle occurs, the opponent's flying speed will be halved at least.

A compound material capable of lasting 45 hours can be divided into 16,200 basic modules if used for ten seconds each.

With thousands of capturing devices firing from multiple angles, hitting one shot during close approach isn't too difficult.

And as soon as it hits, the opponent will be bound for ten seconds, making following through with the array a breeze."

Hua Jun grinned slyly, seemingly pondering something amusing:

"We might even start by baiting, using some low-power missiles to make him think he's invincible, then hitting him with similar-looking but high-pressure missiles loaded with compounds and barriers...

By the way, this plan was proposed by your disciple, Wang Qiang.

Since her team primarily researches demonic beast crystals and is involved in the extraction of solid-state Spiritual Energy, it's unavoidable she'd be involved, but I think the idea is pretty good."

Lin Li: "...."

The discussion reached its conclusion, and Hua Jun then proceeded to demonstrate the quick reaction binding array, which indeed worked similarly to how it did in the secret chamber.

Following this, Tang Pin offered a cigarette to both Lin Li and Hua Jun, and the three of them stood smoking amidst a haze at the shooting range, with Tang Pin summarizing:

"Old Lin, this is just a first-generation version of the quick reaction binding array. It certainly has utility in practical combat, but it's not all-encompassing.

The path we're on is still long, and there won't be Nascent Soul enemies attacking us immediately; there's no need to worry too much about situations that we can't cover just yet.

All in all, we now have a certain confidence, at least enough not to be completely defenseless."

Lin Li nodded in agreement this time.

He took a puff of smoke, gazing thoughtfully into the distance.

As Tang Pin said, considering the rabbits' development progress, encountering Nascent Soul-level entities within a year is unlikely—moreover, even if they do encounter them, they may not necessarily be adversaries, so there's no need for excessive anxiety.

It's like those primitive atomic and hydrogen bombs; by today's standards, they were quite rudimentary, barely more than firecrackers when detonated.

But their nature was extraordinary, marking the entry into a technical realm and thus becoming a formidable trump card.

As long as they continue along this path, more sophisticated second-generation and third-generation items will eventually emerge.

As Lin Li and his team were lost in a cloud of smoke, Lin Li's assistant, Zhang Guanghua, hurried over to report urgently:

"Captain Lin, Teacher Mingmou has just come out of seclusion. According to him, his Great Deduction Technique has officially reached entry-level, allowing him to attempt future deductions!"
