Chapter 172 Chapter 170 Undead and Machinery
Helot was sitting in the boat, blowing the sea breeze, and his thoughts were all about the feasibility of the combination of "undead and machine".
He first thought of letting the undead control the machinery, such as letting the undead drive the war machinery. However, compared with humans driving war machinery, the advantages of this combination model did not seem to be obvious.
What if we continue to combine and let the machine become the body of the undead?
Then Helot thought of the spirit body guards at the family manor.
They are a relatively rare type of undead. They are very fragile but can possess objects, and the possessed objects cannot be too complicated. It can be said that the spirit body guards in the hall of the family castle are just a group of beautiful decorations, and even farmers think they are stupid.
But if their armors could be equipped with independent power systems, would the spirit guards become more useful?
This can be regarded as the first step in creating the mechanical undead...
Thinking more deeply, Helot found that his knowledge of the undead could no longer support subsequent thinking.
So now he just wants to see Master Laem as soon as possible and tell him this bold idea.
He must have a way...
Back to the apartment.
Meilis hasn’t come back yet.
Hope she is okay!
Helot returns to the room and enters the game world.
The prison where Master Laem is imprisoned, except that it is still in the dungeon of the vampire castle, does not look like much of a prison anymore.
Helot sent a guard to remove the iron chain on Master Laem's collarbone and gave him a newly sewn elf robe. There are built bookshelves in the prison filled with books. There is also a vampire attendant standing outside the prison, ready to respond to Master La'em's call.
Master Laem’s daily routine consists of reading, writing, eating, and sleeping.
Helot is in much better spirits than when he first saw him.
Only when he saw Herot arriving this time, Master Laem felt a little sad.
"Have you seen Mondorali?"
Helot was a little surprised...how did you know that you were locked up in prison.
Master Laem saw Helot's doubts and said: "Dorotea came here. She told me that you only used 6,000 troops to capture the entire Broken Woodland. A victory that surprised me very much. She also told me that a hundred blue mages participated in the battle under your command, and they were sent to you directly by Mondorali without my permission."
Helot didn't expect that Dorotea would come to show off.
It’s not about showing off either. In her opinion, the one hundred blue mages were sent out by Master Laem from the Scorched Earth City Branch, just like last time.
It should be considered as sharing the joy of victory with allies.
But her joy must have made Master Laem confused.
Helot admitted: "Yes! I met Mondorali, and his hiding skills still have room to improve."
"You understand why I don't leave the prison?"
“I didn’t understand it at first, but then I slowly figured it out.” Hailot took out the incomplete letter: “The Zhanlan Association has sent an elder to lead a team to rescue you. Kill Mondorali at the same time. I was afraid that some of them wanted to kill you, so I arranged an ambush for them.
As I expected, this letter was found from the elder. Although it was seriously damaged, some important information could be revealed. "
Master Laem took the note and looked at it, and asked at the same time: "You intercepted and killed an elder of the Zhanlan Association just because of suspicion? ”
“Doubt is enough! And you are different? An ending was arranged for Mondorali that did not belong to him. "
After reading it, Master Laem returned the letter to Helot: "Mundolali is a qualified branch leader, but not a qualified leader, so if I let him die, he will definitely die. He can only lead the Scorched Earth City Branch on the front part of the road. The more rugged and dangerous road behind needs people like you to guide it. "
"Aren't you worried that I will take the Scorched Earth City Branch to take another route? ”
"No matter which path you take, it is different from the current path of the Azure Association." After reading the content of the letter, Master Laem did not feel disappointed at being stabbed in the back, but became more determined: "You have a reverence for the truth. , there is greed for knowledge, and there is a thirst for wisdom, which is the basis for the establishment of Zhanlan Association."
Helot said with a smile: "It seems that you have made up your mind!"
Master Laem smiled bitterly: "It was you who helped me make up my mind. I can't figure out how you found Mondor Lali."
"I have said...his hiding skills have improved. Space, I'll know where he is hiding just by asking around in the blood slave area. Let's talk about something we are both interested in. I have an idea..."
Helot took the Iron Undead's. Imagine informing Master Ra'em.
Master Laem frowned and thought, then shook his head.
“The weight that a spirit body can control is limited, and no matter how powerful the spirit body is, it may not be able to control a body of steel. Even if a large number of enchantments are used to reduce weight, it will be difficult for a spirit body to control such a body freely, unless it is given this With a steel body and independent power, why not create an alchemy golem?”
The alchemy golem is the crystallization of alchemy, and some alchemy golems will accumulate over time. Generate wisdom.
Helot said: "The Alchemy Golem is the Alchemy Golem, and the Steel Undead is the Steel Undead. I think studying the spirit body is a feasible direction to develop the Steel Undead. I have a way to solve the independent power of the Steel Body. , now we need to solve the problem of fusion of the spirit body and the steel body
I have some spirit-possessed armors and they are very, very stupid! "
Master Laem said: "Although I don't think you can successfully create steel undead, this process is a very good undead magic experiment. I can see that you don't know much about spirits as a special kind of undead, especially how they possess and control objects.
First you have to learn to summon a spirit.
Although the spirit body itself is very weak, its summoning spell is very complicated. I don't know if you can learn it in a short time. "
Helot stretched out his hand and summoned a spirit body, as if it were a balloon held in his hand.
When Master Laem showed a shocked expression, he quickly explained: "This is the magic given to me by a magic item. I have not mastered the summoning of spirits. I think I can learn the spell of summoning spirits at the same time. Understand what kind of special undead spirit is."
Master Laem breathed a sigh of relief: "If you can really summon a spirit so easily, it will subvert my understanding of magic. Since you can use magic props to summon spirits, we will start by understanding the spirits, and then learn the spells to summon spirits.”
The spirits are void and fragile, so they need to be taught. It can exist only if it is possessed by a solid object.
Controlling objects is an ability of a spirit body, such as controlling stones to roll and move.
Inhabited by armor, they can make some simple movements as long as their joints and supports allow.
It is the "ends" of the spirit body that play a controlling role.
Master Laem drew a schematic diagram of the structure of an object possessed by a spirit body on a blank piece of paper.
After entering the object, the spirit body is no longer in the shape of a balloon, but becomes a structure similar to the root system of a plant, with the "ends" being the "roots".
The smaller the possessed object, the thicker the ends of the spirit body, and the stronger the control will naturally be.
The larger the possessed object, the finer the ends of the spirit body, the weaker the control.
If the structure of the possessed object is complex, the ends will also become thinner due to the increase in number, resulting in weaker control.
Control does not only refer to strength, but also includes reaction and micro-control capabilities.
A pair of armor is a human-like structure. If you want to control the "ends" of the spirit body, they need to be separated into "neural nets". It is already very powerful if you can make the armor run and jump. If the armor is replaced by a more complex steel mechanical body, it cannot be controlled by the fragile ends of the spirit body.
This is why Master Laem initially felt that the idea of Helot's Steel Undead was a bit unrealistic. Even if this steel body has independent power, it is difficult for the thin ends to make accurate reactions and movements.
Helot, who was familiar with the technology of mechanically transforming people, immediately put forward his own idea: "What if only the extremities of the spirit body are required to send out action command signals, and the completed actions are controlled by the alchemy neurons?"
"Alchemical Neuron?" Master Ra'em heard this term for the first time.
Helot explains to Master Laem what alchemical neurons are?
Alchemical neurons are a set of bionic nervous systems, a set of modules that must be installed to mechanically transform humans and mechanical prosthetics. It can feed back the tactile sensation of the mechanical body to the brain, and then accurately control the body to make movements according to the brain's instructions.
If the spirit body is only used as the nerve center, its terminals can be concentrated to the maximum extent, and the real terminal functions can be completed by alchemical neurons and other modules.
After listening to Herot’s explanation of alchemical neurons, Master Laem showed an incredulous look: “Perfectly replacing the nerves of the human body? Are you kidding me? What kind of alchemist master can do such a thing? Delicate neurons, but also covering the entire body!
Do you know how long human nerves are? "
Helot replied: "3 billion meters, but the alchemy neurons definitely don't need to be that long, they need about 100,000 meters. "
One hundred thousand meters, rubbed by hand...
Even if the elf exhausts his life, he can't rub out a few hundred thousand meters.
Master Laem asked: " Are you sure that you can get the alchemical neurons you mentioned, and that they are 100,000 meters long? ”
"Of course!"
Master Laem didn't know how this kind of thing could exist, but he couldn't rule out the fact that Bone Broken and the Soul Eater family had been rubbing this thing for hundreds of years.
“With alchemical neurons that can replace the endings of the spirit body, it is not impossible to create a steel undead. Next time you bring some alchemical neurons, and we will find a way to make the endings of the spirit body and alchemy Neuron docking. "
Helot: "Okay, next time I will bring a pair of mechanical limbs with alchemical neurons. But this steel undead can't just move. I want to give it more. Strong power."
Faced with this problem, Master Laem said easily: "These are the techniques for the alchemical golem. You can ask Frank to make it for you. That’s it, Frank’s alchemy is very powerful.”
