Chapter 88, Things Underground
Compared to Fugate, who couldn't participate in the negotiations, Charmian didn't take it into consideration that much, because she didn't have a name in the Fools, but just a consultant in the Hearth House.
As the leader of the powerful ones, she stands first on the right hand of the Little Lucky Grass King.
The first person on the left is Kuru, the former great sage, and the others are lined up in sequence.
"Salute to you, Your Majesty the God of Wisdom." The doctor's slice saluted respectfully to the little Lucky Grass King.
"It seems you have made your decision."
"Your Majesty has decided to agree to your proposal, but we need real-time experimental data feedback." Xia Mian said.
"Long time no see, Hermanubis II." The doctor said, "Then let's finalize some general directions first. As for the specific details of the contract, let's leave it to the people below."
"Our precious time should not be spent on these red tapes."
The general direction was quickly decided.
Solstice's side provides the initial consumables (skirmishers) and key experimental materials (Thor's Heart).
Xumiru provides a large number of basic researchers (scholars) and some basic research materials (basic metals).
And use part of the empty computing power as support.
I don’t know if it was because of the Sumeru background displayed by Little Lucky Grass King, so the Fools all gave in under various conditions.
The scholars in charge of the negotiations at the Teaching Council said it was so exciting. In previous years, the confrontations with the Fools had never been so exciting. Most of the time, they were the defeated party.
But while talking about these details, the doctor has already begun to verify various basic theories.
Moreover, the doctor feels very unfamiliar with the current efficiency of the scholars of the Imperial Academy.
He was even more surprised by the academic abilities of the scholars at the Imperial Academy.
"I didn't expect that a mere intelligence development potion would actually make the academic progress of the Order Institute so much." The doctor said to himself behind him.
"They were already relatively good, but they couldn't develop their talents in the previous system," Fugate said.
"What gives you the confidence to appear in front of me."
"We have developed a mind shielding device." The doctor said, "We also have the power simulator under the God of Grass, and we are ready to test it with you."
"This slice is the cheapest anyway."
"...Since you are so eager." Fugate snapped his fingers.
The slice in front of him soon became expressionless, and the smile that was hanging on the corner of his mouth and the little bit of madness in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
"Can you tell me how it is achieved?" the doctor asked expressionlessly.
"I told you a long time ago." Fugate said, "It is rooted in thoughts, memories and even essence, from the inside out. Simply external changes will not work."
"This slice has been completely inspected by me a long time ago, and even most of the memory has been cleaned." The doctor said expressionlessly.
"Although I appreciate your insistence on materialism,... this world is not completely materialistic after all, and you should have understood this a long time ago." Fugate said.
"...I understand." Doctor Slice was silent for a while and then left.
Fugate scratched his head and watched the doctor leave, and then disappeared.
"Speaking of which slice this guy was scrapped...forget it, it doesn't matter."
"You guys, don't peek, come out." Fugate's voice fell.
Several of his apprentices appeared in the void.
"How is the development over there?" Fugate asked.
"The situation there is pretty good. With the help of His Majesty Apep, our fully automatic greenhouse was set up very smoothly." Kuru scratched his head and said, "But the recruitment of members for training is not going very smoothly."< br>
"There may be some differences between the race of Yalilo-VI and the race of Teyvat."
“So many pharmaceuticals need to be improved locally.”
"And you also know that the local products of Yaliluo-VI are too poor, so our research progress is a bit slow."
Of course, this is also related to the fact that there are no "gold" level alchemists among them. If there are "gold" level alchemists, then some defects in poor products can be solved.
"So Hetara, are you going there?" Fugate looked at his only disciple who had never been to Yaliluo-VI.
"It just so happens that I will go there to take a look and help you solve the problem of insufficient products." Hetara said.
"Speaking of products, I thought of a rather interesting little girl. We have an alchemist named Sugar in Mondstadt. She is very good at 'transformation' and biological alchemy."
"Can I take this little girl with me this time?"
"As you wish." Fugate didn't care about this. "I'll go over there after I finish what I'm doing (referring to guiding Charmian and Arecino to swallow the rules)."
"Be careful not to cause any trouble."
"No need for you to remind me."
While Teyvat was busy and one drama was going on, in the lower area of the distant frozen star Yalilo-VI, major events that affected the development of the entire lower area were happening in the mechanical settlement. .
"Mr. Swaro, Clara picked up a strange book today." The white-haired Loli showed the book she picked up to Swaro.
"Calculating... The writing system of this book does not belong to Belloberg."
"Clara may be disappointed that the book is uninterpretable," Swaro said.
"But... Clara can understand this book." Clara said, "This book records an existence called Om Messiah, the God of all machines. It is said that reciting his prayers can make machines Awakening the machine soul.”
"It's incomprehensible." Swaro said, "Judgment: Clara suffered an unknown influence."
"Judgment: You can try." Swaro continued.
Swaro mobilized a lot of automatic robots for Clara to try.
Clara stumbled through her prayer.
"Judgment: The calculation power of the automatic robot beetle is increased by 5%, and the mechanical fatigue is released by 30%..." In short, various mechanical data have been improved.
But...
"Well...Mr. Schwaro, according to records, this automaton does not seem to have awakened its machine soul."
Shivaro fell into silence, but the red light in his eyes that kept flashing showed that it was calculating quickly.
"Please Clara keep trying."
"Well~ Clara will continue to work hard."
Clara continued to pray to the Autobot Beetle.
Until its performance is almost exactly the same as when it first appeared.
Suddenly, a blue light flashed on the Autobot Beetle.
Clara's face lit up: "Mr. Swaro, I succeeded."
"Perkins, how are you feeling?"
"Miss Clara, Perkins feels great," Perkins said.
"Judgment: The calculation example has been improved by 640%, the remaining data has been improved by 204%, and the unstable force field generator has undergone unknown structural changes..."
Listening to Perkins' various data, Clara's eyes shone. With Perkins' protection, she would be able to go deeper into the rift.
Later, at Swaro's request, relevant tests were conducted on Clara, other wanderers, and automatic robots.
Only then did Swaro agree to perform the ritual of machine soul enlightenment on himself.
Unlike ordinary mechanical life, the awakened machine soul only greatly enhances its various attributes.
Not only did Swaro obtain his true name, he also obtained a certain amount of mechanical knowledge and subspace knowledge. Clara also awakened with him.
Clara had awakened psychic powers before, but it was only a prototype, and she could not directly obtain various knowledge from it.
But now, after one person and one machine awakens, they can steadily obtain all kinds of knowledge from the subspace.
[Svaro·Awakening of Preservation·Mechanical Lord/Klara·Awakening of Destruction·Mechanical Pioneer]
At this point, Clara and Swaro also knew where the book Clara picked up originally came from.
People with relatively high natural inspiration can obtain knowledge directly from the Supreme Heaven without awakening their spiritual energy. However, they do not have psychic powers for this knowledge, so they cannot understand the knowledge recorded in it, so they can only choose to record it.
Then that person must have had an accident, which caused the book to be lost and then picked up by Clara.
Shivaro then informed the entire mechanical community, and finally collected more than fifty books recording various knowledge, and even a few wanderers who had awakened their spiritual powers.
However, their awakened psychic powers are very unstable, and according to them, there were not just a few of them, but many of them, but those people played with psychic powers and blew up their heads.
"We heard that there is a teaching on how to use psychic powers in Panyan Town Earthfire, but a few of us have criminal records and dare not go." A psychic said.
"Calculation: There is a high probability that it is true...try to contact the lower-level district autonomous organization, Earth Fire." Boss Swaro came to the following conclusion.
In the fire on the other side.
Oleg is enjoying dinner with his adopted son Luka.
Dinner was pretty good, with grilled salamander and vegetable juice to drink.
"Everyone's life in this lower-class area is getting better and better." Oleg said with emotion.
"I heard that when Dad was a guard in the upper area, you only made vegetable soup once a week." Luke asked curiously, "But I think our greenhouse produces quite a lot of vegetables."< br>
"This is not because our greenhouses are more efficient and the soil is more fertile." Oleg said, "The greenhouses in the upper area do not have as high a yield as ours."
"Although the greenhouses in the upper area have various fertilizers to supplement fertility, it is a pity that the land is still becoming increasingly barren. Those greenhouses in our lower area..."
"I don't know what means those guys used, but they easily turned the non-fertile soil into fertile black soil. They seem to call it 'fertile soil', which is really appropriate."
< br>
"By the way, Luca, didn't you go see the Earthfire members selected by those people for training a while ago? Did you see anything?" Oleg asked curiously.
He was still a little curious about the training methods of those aliens.
It would be better if you could learn one and a half moves.
"Those people should be training basic physical fitness." Luca said, "Those brothers have become very strong recently."
"Hmm~ It looks like you are stronger than you, boss. Although not as good as the lieutenants of the Iron Guard in the upper area, you are much stronger than ordinary non-commissioned officers."
"I heard that I am mainly training something called breathing techniques, and I also do some fighting and shooting training."
"What's more amazing is that they often drink some special potions."
Luka told Oleg everything he knew.
"It seems there's nothing wrong with it." Oleg muttered twice and drank the vegetable juice.
"Speaking of which, dad, do you feel that the Great Guardian in the upper area seems to have changed a lot recently?" Luca said.
"Oh? Maybe it's because I'm a little old, but I don't feel any changes." Oleg scratched his head and said.
"Recently, the exchanges between the upper and lower areas have become more frequent. Even that guy Wah can often go to the upper area. Thanks to that guy, Natasha Clinic bought a lot of medical equipment at cheap prices. .”
"With these medical equipment and the medicinal materials provided by the greenhouse, our cost of treating injuries can continue to decrease in the future."
"That's pretty good." Oleg said, "Speaking of which, is that boy Vachna still researching on that...'anti-cold potion' recently?"
"No, because the 'anti-cold potion' has long been conquered by Dr. Shamian." Luca said.
"Conquered?"
"Ang~ It has been conquered a long time ago. I still remember the way Wah's world view collapsed." Luca said after finishing the last bit of the salamander meat.
"For Dr. Charmian, the problem that is still far away to him can be solved simply by spending half a day."
"And we have also developed three different anti-cold agents, all of which are of high value."
"One of them can enhance the body's activity and cold resistance. The only drawback is that it requires taking medicine for a long time to change one's own physique until it completely adapts to the cold."
"One can enhance the body's resistance to cold. This kind of resistance to cold is not as good as the previous one, but it is cheap enough and there is basically no problem in using it in our lower areas."
"The last one is a drug that allows people to consume their own energy reserves, that is, fat, to maintain body warmth. The effect is better than the first two, but it puts greater pressure on logistics."
"And the most important thing is that the three medicines are not expensive, and the second one is especially cheap."
"According to Dr. Charmian, of these three medicines, the first is very good for the injured and can be considered for military use. The second is very cheap and can be considered for civilian use. The third is expensive, but can be considered for those with good conditions. Used by senior military officers or nobles.”
"Unfortunately, I don't know where Dr. Charmian has gone recently. Otherwise, I would like to ask how the progress of helping me solve the problem of my broken arm is going on."
Oleg knew some of this news, but unfortunately he couldn't tell Luka.
At this time there was a knocking sound at the door.
"Luka, go and open the door." Oleg said, "I'll clear the dishes."
Luka opened the door and found a guy he was familiar with standing there.
Doctor Batu is said to be a more powerful doctor than Dr. Natasha and Dr. Shamian, and is especially good at surgery.
"Mr. Batu, why are you here?"
"As entrusted by Xia Mian, I came to inform you that I will go to the clinic to transplant your arm in two days." Batu said, "I should have informed you of this matter a long time ago, but I have been a little busy recently, so I just Not in time.”
"It's okay, it's okay. It's good to have news."
"Um...can I ask what's going on with that arm?"
"That is a super arm transformed using cloning and biological enhancement technologies. Of course, this super arm does not mean how powerful the arm is, but that the degree of fit with you will be beyond your imagination."
"And this arm will not affect your subsequent exercise improvement."
"This arm will continue to improve as your body improves, and it also has the ability to accelerate you to become stronger."
"Thank you, thank you."
After declining Oleg and Luka's request to enjoy dinner together, Batu left the small courtyard.
Not long after walking, we arrived at a remote courtyard.
This was once one of the strongholds in the early days of the Earth Fire, and was later given to Fugate and Charmian, who used it as their base.
With Batu and the others as instructors, these dozen people carefully selected from the underground fires and miners were trained here.
Initially there were close to thirty, but unfortunately some people could not stand the hardships of training and chose to leave, while others were dissuaded by the biological modifications that Batu and the others said might appear.
Batu and the others were not embarrassed. After using spiritual power to erase some of the memories that could not be leaked, they were expelled.
The news that Luka inquired about was from those people.
Although the remaining dozen or so people are not many in number, they all look very strong after training for such a long time.
Long-term training has made their spirits much better than those of the miners outside.
Even better than those Iron Guards.
And they didn't just learn breathing and fighting methods. That's what the barbarians of the Human Empire would do. Batu also taught these people knowledge, especially biology, subspace knowledge and other mechanical knowledge. Something like that.
Although it is just basic knowledge, at least these people will not be as ignorant as before.
"Mr. Batu." When Batu came back, everyone around him saluted him.
Batu also nodded to these people.
"Continue training." Batu said, "Your training has been very good recently. If you can maintain this situation, then it is estimated that the gene seed will be implanted soon."
"Well...Mr. Batu, can the implantation of gene seeds really make us stronger?"
"Yes, he can become a strong man at least two meters tall." Batu said.
Fugate showed Batu the design drawings of these guys. Since they have three more organs than Fugate, their height will naturally increase.
Two to two and a half meters should be very good.
Starting 4k tomorrow, I took annual leave last week, but my family made me unable to write. My sister at home is too noisy.
Only a little over 10,000 words were coded for the nine-day holiday. . . Fortunately, I have saved the manuscript, why can I be so noisy? . .
I am convinced. . . Haven't had a good rest yet. . . Tears. . . Finally got to work today.
