Chapter 351 Mine Disease
Delving into the Ring of Secret Information was much more complicated than Duke imagined, so until he was forty years old in 4436, he still could not conquer it.
His own high-level copying ring, intermediate copying ring, and even the earth copying ring have all been messed up by him several times.
Disassembled, recast, dismantled, recast again.
Just to find a way to locate the real spiritual sea on a regular basis, so as to achieve the effect of wireless transmission of information with the help of the real spiritual sea.
pity.
After much tossing, I still didn't get a satisfactory result.
However, the research on mechas has entered a high-speed stage, and iterations can be carried out every year to make mechas more suitable for combat. It’s just that there is still some distance to go before it can be released and officially put into actual use.
First, the third generation of optical core is not powerful enough, so we have to wait for the fourth generation of optical core.
Secondly, the balance of the mecha hardware is still lacking, and more man-machine operations are needed to fix the negative problems of various combat postures.
But overall, Battle Mecha is already on the right path and may be coming soon.
"Actually, there is one more question, sir." Chief Professor Kelly Gray Deer of the Mecha Core Laboratory said to Duke, who came to inspect the laboratory.
"What's the problem?"
"Engine."
"Engine?"
"Yes, the puppet is driven by the puppet core, which is powered by burning spiritual slag or directly using the spiritual storage card." Kailic Gray Deer explained, " But the function of the puppet is single, so it can be driven successfully with a traditional puppet core, but it is not enough if it is replaced with our mecha." The
mecha is indeed developed from the puppet, but the mecha has surpassed the limit of the puppet. .
In Duke's view.
The puppet is an ordinary passenger plane, and the mecha is the most powerful fighter jet. Ordinary passenger planes only need to fly fixed routes, but fighter jets have to perform various maneuvers, doubling their demands on engines.
The same is true for mechas. Ordinary puppets may only need to climb hills, lift heavy objects, transport goods, etc., but mechas need to fight like knights.
There are strict demands on the energy, durability, and wear resistance that the engine can release in an instant.
"Isn't the previously proposed spiritual crystal engine effective?" Duke asked.
Kailic Gray Deer shook his head: "We have conducted many simulations and verifications through the 'Oak Fang One' super-brain. Although it is superior to ordinary engines, the final effect is not as good as our stacked 3-ring spirit card. The engine effect is good."
The spirit card engine, spirit slag engine and spirit crystal engine are the three engines currently used by puppets on the market.
Duke's previous six-legged spirit puppet jar was driven by the spirit card engine.
"Let's continue to explore. If the spirit crystal engine really can't be improved anymore, then optimize the spirit card engine and use higher quality spirit storage cards to stack it." Duke thought for a while, then chose the direction of the mecha engine. Set the direction.
"Yes, sir."
"Okay, you can continue to do your work." Duke motioned to Kelic Gray Deer to continue working, and he went to another laboratory.
Different from the mecha core laboratory set up in the mage tower, this laboratory is set up in a spiritual mine.
"Universal Mecha Laboratory."
In a temporary mage tower, there is such a sign hanging in the laboratory.
Since Duke conceived of mechas, combat mechas have not been the only way to go. In fact, the better application of mechas is in the civilian field.
Therefore, the universal mecha laboratory came into being.
Not only do we study various types of civilian mechas here, we also cooperate with the mecha core laboratory to conduct various pre-research and tests on combat mechas.
In short.
The technology in the mecha core laboratory will be castrated to a certain extent and then put into general-purpose mechas.
"Sir, you are here." The arcane mage guarding the temporary mage tower is Marimo Wombat, a psychic arcane mage. He is also the head of the universal mecha laboratory. He has the title of puppet scholar and has many ideas about puppets. .
"Don't disturb the staff, I'll come over and take a look, receive some information and then leave." Duke said.
"I obey your instructions, my lord." Marimo Wombat responded.
He is not a native arcane mage from the Black Dragon River, but the Wombat family has migrated from other places and settled in Cuihai City.
Moreover, Marimo Wombat was prepared to wait a few more years before applying for a pioneering war to gain a new fiefdom for his family - the Wombat family's fiefdom had been sold many years ago and he became a member of the declining landless aristocracy until Marimo. It takes a generation to rise again.
After entering the temporary mage tower and inspecting each laboratory, you can see all kinds of strange mechas.
There are roughly three types.
Humanoid mechas, animal mechas and alien mechas. Among them, the number of special-shaped mechas is the largest, because any mecha that does not have a fixed image will be classified as a special-shaped mecha.
After a quick tour, he jotted down all the information and handed it over to Xiaoyi for processing.
Duke left the temporary mage tower and prepared to go down the well to see the production efficiency of mining-type general-purpose mechas.
"Using mechas to replace people in mining can reduce casualties in mines and prevent miners from being contaminated by spiritual mines." Sitting in the mine rail train, Marimo Wombat babbled, "Now use Mecha mining has greatly alleviated the infection situation of miners."
Needless to say, there are no more details about the casualties in the mines. As for the miners being contaminated by the spiritual mine, Duke has roughly understood it.
Just as arcane mages can degenerate into fallen demons, the veins of spiritual minerals enclosed underground will also breed some corrupt spiritualities, and then the miners will be contaminated by these corrupt spiritualities.
To ensure safe mining.
Therefore, miners generally recruit ordinary people, or some level 0 knights, and will never use arcane mages to mine, to prevent them from falling into fallen demons.
Although ordinary people or level 0 knights and miners cannot become fallen demons, they can easily become contaminated and sick.
Once contracted by this mining disease, miners would not live for more than a few years.
"When the Internet of Everything that you envisioned is successful, you can remotely control mechas to mine, and then there will be no need to recruit miners." Marimo Wombat said, and then flattered Duke, "Sir, you have been a blessing. All miners."
"It may not be a benefit." Duke waved his hand and refused to say more.
Bang, bang, bang.
The rail train drove into the dim mine, and the dim light gave the narrow mine tunnel a sense of silence.
Duke didn't like this feeling, it always reminded him of the strange scene that happened under Mine No. 3.
That was also the first time he had close contact with the divine evil. Of course, it was just the shed shell of the young divine evil.
After a while, the rail train arrived at the station.
This is a spiritual crystal disassembly hall with strong lights installed, but even with the strong lights, the light cannot drive away the secluded atmosphere in the mine. When the light shines on the wall, most of it is swallowed up by the wall, and not much is reflected back.
Fortunately, the rumbling roar of machinery in the distant mine tunnel added a lively atmosphere to the place.
"Chichi." A mouse ran through the mine tunnel.
A mine supervisor accompanying him grinned: "This is our little buddy. Every miner will feel at ease when he sees it." The
mouse that everyone shouted to beat became the miners' little buddy. Duke said to This is not surprising.
Firstly, rats can provide early warning of dangers in some mines. Secondly, rats are probably the only small animals that can accompany miners.
Moving forward on foot, Duke soon came to the side of a large mecha.
The miner was called down by Marimo Wombat, and Duke used his arcane hands and arcane eyes to quickly check the data of the mecha. Only by obtaining these practical data can Xiaoyi's calculations on the mecha be more accurate.
But soon.
Xiaoyi raised a question: "Master, the data of Drill No. 12 mecha seems to have been interfered with, and there are some inconsistencies." On the Dou Qi holographic screen, Xiaoyi displayed the inconsistent data
in the mecha. List one.
And explained: "It seems to be a constant trace amount of energy interference, which caused the overall deviation of the data." "
Energy interference?" Duke subconsciously thought of the past, "Could he encounter the evil shedding of his shell again? Are you ready?"
Fortunately, he was now the number one among the stars, and could even arm-wrestle with them, so he wasn't very nervous.
After carefully sensing the surroundings, I didn't detect any aura related to the abomination.
"Scare yourself."
After the alarm was lifted, he continued to collect data from several other mechas. When the data was gathered together, he gradually discovered clues.
The data of more than a dozen mechas, without exception, all have some kind of overall data deviation caused by energy interference.
"Analyze the cause, Xiaoyi."
"Okay master, the cause is being analyzed... lack of necessary samples, please master personally drive a mecha to mine and connect the data so that Xiaoyi can collect the energy interference that occurs."
" Okay."
Without saying a word, Duke personally boarded a mining mecha, and then rumbled to dig out spiritual crystals in the mine tunnel.
The drill bit in front of the mecha is extremely sharp, constantly breaking through the rock as hard as iron. When it encounters harder spiritual crystals, it will be screened out and sent to the ore storage box behind the mecha.
This process of continuous advancement and mining lasted for a full hour.
When Marimo Wombat and others saw Duke being so interested, they all followed the mecha and watched Duke mining with interest.
As for Duke's escort knights, they patrolled the surrounding area closely to prevent accidents.
But they didn't know that they were just decorations used by Duke to prop up the show. Their monitoring of the surroundings is far inferior to Xiaoyi's on-hook breathing method, which uses the energy of all things to resonate with the breath of all things around them and sense them.
It can be said that within a radius of more than ten kilometers, even deep underground, every move is under Duke's control.
The danger is nowhere near.
"Master." Xiaoyi finally said, "We have successfully found out the source of the energy interference. It comes from the spiritual crystals in the surrounding spiritual mines. A subtle radioactive energy impact occurs, causing a slight impact on the mecha's sensors, resulting in data bias. Move."
"Radioactive energy impact?" Duke instantly thought of the radioactive elements on the earth. "In addition to emitting decaying spirituality, these spiritual crystals are also radioactive?"
Thinking of radioactivity, Duke thought of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.
He had been searching for radioactive elements in various mines before, trying to study nuclear fission and nuclear fusion reactions to find new energy sources.
However, just like black powder, he never found the radioactive element.
In the end, I had to give up.
Unexpectedly, a trace of radioactivity was discovered in the Ling Mine.
Duke immediately set up a laboratory in the temporary mage tower, and then personally went down to study the radioactive energy in the spiritual crystal.
"It's strange that during the mining process of spiritual crystals, radioactivity is produced, but when the spiritual crystals are transported to the ground, the radioactivity disappears without a trace." In the laboratory, Duke checked all the mined spiritual crystals, and found that there was no trace of them. Radioactive.
So we still have to go back to the mine and test the fresh spiritual crystal samples.
The hand of the arcane weapon directly turned into a detector to conduct a subtle test on the newly mined spiritual crystal, and then detected a trace amount of radioactive energy impact.
"It's very subtle. If it weren't for the powerful detection ability of my arcane hand, it would be easy to miss these trace amounts of radioactive energy... It seems that not all newly mined spirit crystals are radioactive, only a few spirit crystals are radioactive." Accompanied by Duke in-depth research.
About half a month later, he finally solved the mystery of the radioactivity of spiritual crystals: "Spirit crystals are crystallized from high-purity spiritual particles, including a rare number of spiritual particles. Due to the intermolecular pressure of the crystallization, a high-pressure spiritual particle is formed. Particles."
At the moment when the spiritual crystal is mined, this high-pressure spiritual particle releases the energy formed by the pressure, thereby forming radioactivity.
The energy released in an instant is very powerful.
It's just that the number of high-pressure spiritual particles is too small. Often, only one high-pressure spiritual particle is mixed among hundreds of millions of spiritual particles, resulting in weak radiated energy.
And the radiation process is short-lived, often lasting only a few minutes.
"This is obviously not the same as the radioactive elements on the earth." Duke used the perception ability of the arcane weapon to look at the high-voltage spiritual particles that were releasing energy, and kept thinking in his mind, "But if we regard it as a The 'battery' seems to be quite perfect."
The energy carried by just one high-voltage spiritual particle is tens of thousands of times that of ordinary spiritual particles.
Later, Duke continued to study high-voltage spiritual particles.
First, an elemental state excitation test of high-voltage spiritual particles was conducted. According to the usual elemental state, it can be divided into several types such as earth element, water element, wind element, fire element, thunder element, light element, and dark element.
However, after the high-voltage spiritual particles were activated, a scene that made Duke incredible was formed.
"This, this, this...is this called fission?"
In Arcana Tongtian's perception, the high-pressure spiritual particles instantly split from one spiritual particle into tens of thousands of elemental particles as they transitioned to the elemental state.
That is to say.
A single high-voltage spiritual particle can even release an arcane spell independently.
Originally, the high-voltage spiritual particles were only powerful in energy, but now the splitting changes in the transition state have transformed them from huge energy into huge matter.
Taking a deep breath, Duke continued to study for a while.
Finally, the conclusion was drawn: "Spiritual particles should be in a state between energy and matter, so a high-pressure spiritual particle can pass through the transition state and turn into tens of thousands of elemental particles. When the elemental particles cool down, they will jump into Tens of thousands of ordinary spiritual particles."
This completes the entire process - from one high-pressure spiritual particle to fission into ten thousand ordinary spiritual particles.
"In other words."
Duke stared at the test platform with burning eyes. There were several high-voltage spiritual particles there, which were restrained by his powerful steady-state spiritual energy stance to prevent the radiation of energy.
"High-voltage spiritual particles are the most perfect energy storage material... They can not only store energy and power equipment, but also store spiritual particles and provide spiritual energy for arcanists... Each of these high-voltage spiritual particles is a portable spiritual spring. Ah!"
For a moment, Duke thought of its countless possibilities.
Originally, it was just to extract practical data on general-purpose mechas, but unexpectedly, I got the perfect energy source and even solved the engine problem of the combat mechas.
"Using high-voltage spiritual particles as engine energy, this kind of engine power is enough to meet any needs of a combat mecha!" With the
engine's vector engine design, the combat mecha can perform any extremely difficult actions, such as emergency stops, reverse thrust, and rotation. , jump, vertical blast, etc., and the energy is almost endless, and you can fight for days and nights without taking a breath.
"Huh."
Duke put away his reverie and immediately gave an order to Xiaoyi: "Research on the manufacturing, storage and extraction of high-voltage spiritual particles. I need technology that can perfectly control high-voltage spiritual particles... Also, remember to help me store energy. No. 1 and Energy Storage No. 2 were upgraded, and all the stored spiritual particles were replaced with high-voltage spiritual particles."
Energy Storage No. 1 and No. 2 are his two 5-ring arcane weapons, specially used to store spare spiritual energy.
Now that there are high-voltage spiritual particles, the energy storage effect can be instantly increased by more than 10,000 times, which is equivalent to carrying two large spiritual springs with you.
The original energy stored in No. 1 and No. 2 can provide him with a battery life of three to five days in an environment where his spiritual energy is dry.
Replaced with high-voltage spiritual particles, it would be enough for Duke to fight for hundreds of years in an environment with dry spiritual energy!
"Exaggeration!"
Duke calculated carefully and was stunned.
Any spiritual storage card, filled with high-voltage spiritual particles, can even save a family from having to recharge it for decades.
"More importantly, with the technology of high-pressure spiritual particles, the spiritual spring will no longer be a restriction on human habitat." Duke looked outside the temporary mage tower and saw a dense forest in the distance. The spring will become an energy mine similar to a spiritual mine."
Human beings no longer need to build a city on top of a spiritual spring, they can build a city anywhere.
Then the spiritual spring is mined, stored in high-pressure spiritual particles, and then transported to the city to provide daily needs.
"There is no doubt that I have found the energy ring!" Duke's heart stirred.
...
The Ring of Secret Faith and the Ring of Energy are both in the research stage.
Duke did not intend to announce it to the outside world before thoroughly researching it, but spent a lot of energy on research in private.
The energy consumption made it impossible for him to even bear the normal responsibility of serving as chairman of the Supreme Committee.
After all, the age of Dongwei Spirituality has unfolded in a mighty way, society is developing at a rapid pace, and the invention of natural history has exploded. The number of meetings that the Supreme Committee needs to meet is far more than in the previous Selsus era.
to this end.
Duque created a new position under the Supreme Committee, Standing Vice Chairman. And handed it over to a newly promoted star in the past two years.
It is worth mentioning that in the past five years, two more stars have been born in the Seven Towers Federation since Elaven, Belonissa and Huntley Mustang. One of them, Bo Lagu, was also a learned sage from the Supreme Committee.
Duque happened to have no time to manage the Supreme Committee, so he arranged for Bolagu to be the Standing Vice Chairman.
"In the past few years, the Seven Towers Federation has been promoted to five stars one after another. It has really ushered in a new climax of spiritual arcana." Selsas was quite proud of the current situation. "The development of the Seven Towers Federation is far behind Out of other countries."
Duke was more conservative: "The spread of spiritual arcane knowledge is spreading outward from the Seven Towers Federation. It is normal for us to be one step ahead of others, but soon foreign countries will catch up." "We can't catch up
. ." Selsas waved his hand, "As foreign countries are developing, we are also developing, step by step, step by step."
As he said, he laughed and patted Duke on the shoulder: "Don't forget, we have the world's The Sixth Ring of the First Sage, the Eighth Ring of Prophets."
Duke smiled slightly and said nothing.
But I am thinking in my heart, what is the Sixth Ring Prophet? Wait a moment, and the person standing in front of you will be the Eighth Ring Prophet!
Selsus didn't know what Duke was thinking.
He put his hands on his back, looked into the clouds, and said to himself: "Among your six rings, the Ring of Light and Faith and the Ring of Wisdom have changed the society the most. The Seven Towers Federation has established a complete system based on the Ring of Light and Faith and the Ring of Wisdom. The layout, the spiritual arcana will explode next!"
"Sir, how is your Coronation of the Sun Chapter?" Duke suddenly asked.
Selsas's face darkened, and his movements of stroking his beard became stiff. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I think too highly of myself." "What should I say?" "It doesn't work. Come on, don't ask any more questions
.
" Ersus said impatiently, "You can figure it out for yourself when it comes to attacking the 9th ring sun. I have no interest in it anymore... Don't mention this matter in front of me in the future." He originally thought that he and Andre would be together
. ·Although there is a gap in the talents of Evening Primrose, the gap is not big.
Andre Evening Primrose can become the Speaker, and he can also become the Speaker. Andre Evening Primrose can hit the 9th Ring Sun, so naturally he can also take the title of Coronation Sun.
after all.
With Duke's help and more prosperous spiritual arcane magic, he may not be able to achieve the feat that Andre Evening Primrose did back then.
who knows.
It's useless. Even if you get a hint of spirituality from the Ring of Wisdom, you still can't get through the Chapter of the Sun, so you can only dismount in a hurry.
Disturbed by Duke's question, Selsas was too lazy to chat with Duke anymore. After a few perfunctory words, he found an excuse to leave, leaving Duke alone and continued to look up information in the Tower of Offa - Cloud Books The library has only uploaded part of the information, and confidential information is still stored offline in Offa Tower.
"Oh, I thought Sir Thelsus could find a way for me, but I didn't expect..." Duke held a piece of information and sighed with emotion.
The wise man from the shell emerged quietly and said with a smile: "The Speaker of Celsus is not as pure as the Speaker of Andre Evening Primrose." "
How to say?"
"Andre Evening Primrose's love for spiritual arcana is Very pure, I once saw him spend days and nights searching for information in the Offa Tower without eating, drinking or sleeping in order to solve a problem." Shell Wise Man said softly.
I don't know if there is any emotion in the words. Its tone is always soft, and other emotions are rarely felt.
"So where's Thelsus?"
"Although Selsus also loves spiritual arcana, he is always a little utilitarian. If he can't study one problem thoroughly, he will switch to the next problem." The wise man said, that is, when facing Duke, it would talk about these things. Big shot trivia.
"It's in line with my understanding of Mr. Sirsus." Duke smiled.
Then he found the information he wanted, condensed the projection of the Arcane Eye, and quickly recorded the information.
Soon, the clone's time expired and it shattered into dots of fluorescent light.
However, the figure of the Shell Wise Man did not disappear immediately. Instead, he looked at the dissipated light and murmured to himself: "The spiritual arcana changes too fast. I can no longer keep up with my knowledge. I need a new tower spirit to share my knowledge." It’s my duty.”
This supreme arcane tower is getting taller and taller, and it stores more and more spiritual and arcane knowledge.
Even beings like the Shell Wise Man who survived the ancient times would be unable to take on the task of maintaining the many materials of the Offa Tower.
"And... the ring of wisdom, the optical brain, what kind of... world is that?" The figure of the Shell Wise Man disappeared.
The next moment, in an optical computer room, the figure of the wise man Shell condensed.
Use the tentacles to quietly turn on an optical computer, then connect to the Internet, watch the flashing images on the screen, and fall into deep thought.
After a while.
It suddenly stretched out a tentacle, touched the break of the network cable, and came into contact with the light carrying information in the network cable.
The next second.
The body of the Shell Wise Man was like a marquee, flashing with colorful lights, and his two compound eyes were even more protruding, as if he was stunned by the huge information.
When the tentacles contracted unconsciously and disconnected from the network cable, the light on the Shell Wise Man became stable.
The compound eyes also retracted.
"Phew, such a strong shock wave, my brain can't handle it... Hmm, do I have a brain?" Shell Wise Man was a little distracted.
It is an ancient spirit, a collection of spirituality that remains after countless tiny "worms" were wiped out by the times in the ancient Shell Soup era. It has no physical appearance, only an illusory spiritual body, and naturally does not have the organ of a brain.
It’s just that spiritual light, like consciousness, can think for itself.
That's why the wise man in the shell has wisdom. He looked at the light brain on the screen and suddenly realized something: "What if the light brain becomes my brain?" Thinking of this, the wise man in the shell felt an impatience
.
However, it quickly suppressed this impulse, and instead shook its head and said to itself: "When Duke comes, I have to ask Duke." The person who knows the
most about the Ring of Wisdom is whether the light brain can become a brain. The one who knows the most, in the Shell Wise Man's opinion, is obviously Duke, the inventor of the Ring of Wisdom.
Duke must have a way to turn the light brain into its brain.
