After all, materials in the interstellar realm are interconnected. Sometimes, what was initially intended for pharmaceutical research turns out to be a material for weapon manufacturing. The researchers had invested so much in the early stages that they couldn't simply abandon materials that were already halfway through their study. As long as there was sufficient research value, transitioning from a pharmacist to a materials engineer was not an issue; it was merely a matter of establishing another project.
Zhao Chuan specifically had someone draft a project proposal and submitted it to Principal Tang Mingde. The First Academy had never had a precedent for this kind of project initiation, but the potential of this material was too promising to ignore. If successful, the benefits for the First Academy would be immeasurable. Thus, even the usually upright principal made an exception for Zhao Chuan.
"May I ask why you chose to initiate this project at the First Academy?" After signing the project initiation document, Tang Mingde couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Well, it's for my little apprentice," Zhao Chuan replied.
"Are you referring to that student named Lin Yao from the Command Department?"
"Yes."
"I remember when you applied to transfer to the First Academy as a teacher, it was because of her?"
"That was unavoidable. My research requires her unique ocular ability."
"So, the properties of this material were also discovered using her ocular technique?"
"Sort of. Overall, her contributions to the material research have been significant. Since she still needs to attend school, I had no choice but to choose the First Academy for this project. I believe the principal will fully support our initiative."
"Of course. I've looked into the material as well. It's completely attribute-less and can integrate with various forms of energy; such a neutral material has never been discovered in the Yunmeng Galaxy before. But can she keep up with your research pace at her current level in a junior school?"
"She can learn while we research. She has great talent and is likely to become a pillar in the research field in the future."
Tang Mingde sat up straight, intrigued. "You hold her in such high regard?"
"Of course! I'm also a Level Seven Grand Healer; usually, people seek me out for help. When would I ever need to rely on others?"
"Then let’s wish our Grand Healer Zhao's project great success!"
"Thank you for your good wishes!"
After initiating the project, Zhao Chuan began consolidating resources, setting up a laboratory, and recruiting researchers. Due to high confidentiality requirements regarding the delicate threads involved, he prioritized selecting researchers from institutions with high security clearance.
With his backing from the military and his current position at the academy, this unique neutral status made him highly sought after by those researchers. Even though he had never studied materials beyond medicinal ones, many researchers were eager to join him.
His team was quickly assembled. From persuading him to initiate the project to forming the team, it took only half a month to complete. When the system generated the information of all members of the First Intermediate Court's Delicate Silk project team, Lin Yao became even more certain of her choice in Zhao Chuan.
It was hard to tell whether it was luck, insight, or perhaps the Yunmeng Star System's strong ability to identify spies; in any case, there wasn't a single spy in the project team. Of course, even with that, it couldn't guarantee that the project's content wouldn't be leaked; it only meant that the chances of leakage were slightly reduced.
However, while she couldn't control these researchers, she could control their ignorance regarding the raw materials for Delicate Silk. The material known as White Leaf was something only Lin Yao had in her system space; all others were on different planets. The amount of White Leaf she obtained was not just a little bit but a substantial quantity.
For something as light and seemingly insubstantial as leaves, this was more than enough for research purposes. Each time, Lin Yao would prepare a large pot to boil the Delicate Silk beforehand and then hand it over to Zhao Chuan, who would deliver it to the project team. This way, the researchers would only know about Delicate Silk but not where it came from, effectively maintaining secrecy from the ground up.
Given that Delicate Silk could accept any form of energy, Zhao Chuan decided to let each person choose a research direction. The prospects for metal-based energy seemed the most promising, as it could be integrated with various metals and lead to developments in weapons, defensive equipment, aviation, and mecha materials. Of course, other materials also had vast potential.
Water-based, wood-based, fire-based, earth-based—each element had its own uses. "What direction do you want to research?" Zhao Chuan asked Lin Yao.
"Shouldn't I be the one to choose first? These are all experts in the project team," she replied.
"You discovered the material; why shouldn't you pick first? You're a wood-type ability user—why not try something related to wood?"
"No, I have some ideas and want to try something non-attribute first."
Zhao Chuan looked puzzled. "Non-attribute? You mean..."
"I only have some preliminary ideas for now. You don't need my suggestion; Teacher Zhao could try focusing on mental energy."
"Mental energy?"
"Yes."
"Can you share your thoughts?"
"I remember that the development of mechs in our galaxy seems a bit slow; we are still only at the stage of land-based mechs, right?"
"Yes, there are many issues, but two main factors stand out. One is the limitation of the external materials for the mechs, which cannot withstand the vacuum of space. The other is likely related to the mental energy sensors."
At this point, Zhao Chuan displayed a look of sudden realization. "So you mean I should try using a mental energy sensor?"
Lin Yao nodded. "When I discovered the properties of the Fine Silk, I thought of this. However, research on mechs is too advanced for me; my knowledge base isn't sufficient to delve into that area, so I wanted you to give it a try!"
Zhao Chuan pondered the requirements for the mental energy sensor and found it quite feasible. He couldn't help but praise her: "Youth really brings creativity!"
With their research direction set, Zhao Chuan eagerly began his own study.
Lin Yao also started her research. Her foundation was weaker than any research institute's, so she could only begin from the most basic level.
Considering the flexibility of Fine Silk itself, it seemed very suitable for fabric. Therefore, when Lin Yao first researched Wood-type Fine Silk, she made a piece of cloth from it.
Upon realizing the forest camouflage properties that Wood-type Fine Silk possessed, Lin Yao thought about enchantments in games. She wondered if creating clothing from Fine Silk and imbuing it with various attributes would grant the garments special properties.
Lin Yao attempted to make fabric using non-attribute silk, but the resulting properties were too chaotic and failed to possess any specific attribute.
After trying various designs without success, she decided to first create a non-attribute fabric and then arrange energy according to a specific concept.
This approach yielded some results, but its effectiveness was still inferior to that of fabrics with single attributes.
With no other options, her gaze fell upon the energy matrix blueprints that had been stored away in the system space for a long time.
