Electric Flying Sword!
Ji Xinghuo had his first encounter with this kind of weapon and quickly digested the information in his mind.
Only then did he realize that the metal disc on his temple was called the "Sword Control Ring," which functioned like a controller, remotely controlling all operations and functions of the sword.
The information transmitted by the ring also included the origin of the sword.
Its manufacturer was a top weapon maker from the "Pan-Human Interstellar Alliance," with a long history that had been established for over ten thousand Star Realm Years and was highly acclaimed in the Milky Way, especially renowned for crafting electric flying swords.
This sword was one of their most outstanding products.
Its sword blade was made of a monomolecular polymer material, with an edge thickness of just 5 nanometers, and excluding the hilt, the entire blade weighed only 35 grams. When the switch on the hilt was activated, the blade could vibrate at a frequency exceeding one hundred thousand hertz, forming an indestructible high-frequency sharp edge.
The hilt contained a heavy lithium battery and a miniature electric propulsion engine, and was equipped with a flight control support system, assisting the owner in easily maneuvering the flying sword to kill enemies.
In full power output mode, the flying sword could operate for seven Star Realm Days, roughly 300 Earth Hours.
A window popped up in front of Ji Xinghuo.
He was startled because it somewhat resembled the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil, but a closer look revealed differences.
This was the operation interface for the electric flying sword.
It was far more complex than the interface of the Wanxiang Star Pupil, displayed on the left side of his vision, using a strange script.
At that moment, the interface popped up with dozens of options, each in different text.
"Language selection?"
Ji Xinghuo immediately understood.
As his line of sight moved, those language options swiftly scrolled by, and suddenly, he saw a script he recognized.
The Dragon Language of the True Dragon Dynasty!
Ji Xinghuo’s gaze locked onto this option, and the interface immediately switched entirely to Dragon Language.
Now he could understand everything.
The interface displayed various modules such as operation settings, battery level, power settings, speed, attack modes, etc., selecting one of them would unfold sub-menus with more detailed settings and data.
Simple and clear, utterly foolproof operation.
"Real high technology!"
Ji Xinghuo marveled endlessly, anyone who got this Purple Lightning Sword could wield terrifying lethality within minutes.
It was truly a crystallization of technological wisdom, devoid of any Ability effects, but sufficient to attain Apocalypse One Star.
Moreover, this sword was clearly mass-produceable.
Ji Xinghuo looked at Li Hui, asking, "Director, what’s the history of this Pan-Human Interstellar Alliance?"
What he really wanted to ask was, how did the Sword Bureau get a hold of the Purple Lightning Sword?
"We aren’t very sure either," Li Hui slightly shook his head, "It’s said that the ’Star Alliance’ is a massive alliance spanning the Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Star Zones, one of the most powerful ruling civilizations in the Milky Way, made up largely of various Pan-Human branches, with an open and inclusive government, also renowned far and wide in the Star Realm."
Ji Xinghuo listened, dumbstruck, spanning four Star Zones...
Viewing from the North Pole of the Galactic Orb, the whole Milky Way is divided into eight sector-shaped Star Zones. At the 12 o’clock direction on the left side is the First Star Zone, encircling the Milky Way in a counter-clockwise direction, sequentially from the First to the Eighth Star Zone.
It’s like making four cuts into a pizza, the Silver Core is also divided into eight equal parts.
Each Star Zone got one-eighth of the Silver Core.
Beyond the Silver Core are the Spiral Arms, which are also divided into different Star Zones, just like the Silver Core, further divided into different Star Domains.
For example, the First Star Domain of the First Star Zone is the Silver Core, the Second Star Domain is the beginning of the Sagittarius Arm, and further out, the Third Star Domain is the Perseus Arm.
The First Star Zone has a total of five Star Domains.
Then moving to the Second Star Zone, the Silver Core portion is the Sixth Star Domain, with the sequence of domains running from inside to outside.
The entire Milky Way has 45 Star Domains!
In the various Galaxy Civilizations, the names of Star Domains differ, but this order number is almost universally recognized by all civilizations.
Each Star Domain’s cross-sectional area exceeds 100,000 square light-years, hosting billions of stars, corresponding to vast domains in the Star Realm, unimaginably vast for ordinary people.
The Orion Arm, where Earth is located, belongs to the twenty-sixth Star Domain of the Fifth Star Zone.
This Star Domain is also called the True Dragon Star Domain because the majority of the corresponding areas in the Star Realm are ruled by the True Dragon Dynasty, though only nominally, as the area actually under control may be less than one-third of the entire Star Domain.
Even then, Earth is to the True Dragon Dynasty as a firefly to the moon, an ant to a giant tree.
And the "Star Alliance" spans four Star Zones!
Although it just spans, not governs, the four Star Zones, it must possess multiple Star Domains, even more powerful than the True Dragon Dynasty.
Part of the Star Alliance territory enters the Fifth Star Zone, comparatively closer in relative distance within the Milky Way, it makes sense for an electric flying sword produced by the Star Alliance to appear in the True Dragon Star Domain and find its way to Earth.
Li Hui said, "The Purple Lightning Sword was obtained by Cao Qianfei, the founder of the Sword Bureau in the Star Realm; he had once reaped a huge toll with it in his hands, but, unfortunately..."
Sorrow appeared on his face.
Ji Xinghuo nodded slightly.
He had heard of this Cao Qianfei, a martyr appearing in history books, the Sword Bureau’s first Director, extraordinarily gifted, promoted to Legendary in his forties, but sacrificed a few years before the establishment of the Asia-Pacific Community.
Afterwards, Li Hui succeeded as the Director, until now, for over eighty years.
Li Hui chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Often reminiscing about the past just shows that not only my body has aged, but my mindset has too."
