Studying Science in the Alternate World Chapter 351

Chapter 351 Mine Disease

 Delving into the Ring of Secret Message 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.

 Disassemble, recast, disassemble again, 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 tossing and turning, I still haven't achieved 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 of all, 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 Kailic Gray Deer of the Mecha Core Laboratory said to Duke, who came to inspect the laboratory.

"what is the problem?"

 “Engine.”

 “Engine?”

"Yes, the puppet is driven by a puppet core, which is powered by burning spiritual **** or directly using a spiritual storage card." Kailic Gray Deer explained, "But the puppet has a single function, so it can be powered by a traditional puppet core. If it is successfully driven, just switching it to our mecha is not enough."

 Mechas are indeed developed from puppets, but mechas have surpassed the limits of puppets.

 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 goes 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 requirements on the energy released in an instant, durability and wear resistance of the engine.

“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 works great.”

 Lingka engine, spirit **** 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, my lord.”

“Okay, you can continue working on 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 a sign like this hanging in the laboratory.

Since Duke conceived of mechas, combat mechas are not the only way to go. In fact, the better application of mechas is in the civilian field.

 So 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 emasculated 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.

 “As you command, 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 fief for his family - the Wombat family's fief, which had been sold many years ago and became a member of the declining landless aristocracy until Marimo's generation. Only then rose again.

Enter the temporary mage tower first and inspect each laboratory. You can see all kinds of strange mechas.

  Broadly divided into 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.

Make a quick tour, write down all the information, and hand 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 Mechas are mining, and the miners' infection situation has been greatly alleviated.”

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the casualties in the mines. As for the miners being polluted by the mine, Duke has generally understood it.

Just as arcane mages can degenerate into fallen demons, spiritual mine veins sealed underground will also breed some corrupt spirituality, and then the miners will be contaminated by these corrupt spiritualities.

 In order to ensure safe mining.

 So miners generally recruit ordinary people, or some level 0 knights, and will never use arcane mages to mine, to prevent them from degenerating 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 the miners."

 “It may not be a benefit.” Duke waved his hand and did not want to say more.

The rail train drove into the dim mine, and the dim light gave the narrow mine tunnel a sense of solitude.

 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 molting of the young divine evil.

 After a while, the rail train arrived at the station.

This is a spiritual crystal sub-assembly hall, equipped with strong lights, but even with the strong lights, the light cannot drive away the lonely 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, in the distant mine tunnel, the rumbling roar of machinery added a lively atmosphere to the place.

 “Chichi.” A mouse ran through the mine tunnel.

One of the mine supervisors accompanying him grinned: "This is our little buddy. Every miner will feel at ease when he sees him."

Duke was not surprised that the rat that everyone shouted to be beaten became the miner's boy.

 First of all, rats can provide early warning of dangers in some mines. Secondly, rats are probably the only small animals that can accompany miners.

Stepping forward on foot, Duke soon came to the side of a large mecha.

The miner was called down by Marimo Wombat. Duke used his arcane hand and arcane eye 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 very quickly.

Xiaoyi then 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 listed the inconsistent data in the mecha one by one.

 And explained: “It seems to be a constant trace amount of energy interference that causes an overall shift in the data.”

"Energy interference?" Duke subconsciously thought of the past, "Could he encounter the evil being shedding his shell again?"

 Fortunately, he is now the number one among the stars and can even arm-wrestle with the stars, so he is not very nervous.

  I carefully sensed my surroundings and found no aura related to divine evil.

 “Scare yourself.”

When 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 offset caused by energy interference.

 “Analyze the reasons, Xiaoyi.”

"Good master, the reason 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."

"good."

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.

 The mining continued in this way for a full hour.

Marimo Wombat and others saw Duke being so interested, so they all followed the mecha and watched Duke mining with interest.

As for Duke's guard 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.

 Danger is never close to you.

"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. shift."

“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 has 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, we had to give up.

Unexpectedly, a trace of radioactivity was found in the Ling Mine.

At present, Duke set up a laboratory in the temporary mage tower, and then personally went down the well to study the radioactive energy in the spirit 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, and conducted a subtle inspection of 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 the newly mined spirit crystals are radioactive, and only a few spirit crystals are radioactive." Dig deeper.

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. particle."

 At the moment when the spiritual crystal is mined, the high-pressure spiritual particles release the energy formed by the pressure, thus 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 'Battery', seems pretty perfect."

 Just one high-voltage spiritual particle carries tens of thousands of times the energy carried by ordinary spiritual particles.

 Subsequently, Duke continued to study high-pressure spiritual particles.

 First, the 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, when the high-pressure spiritual particles make the transition to the elemental state, one spiritual particle instantly splits into tens of thousands of elemental particles.

 That is to say.

 A single high-voltage spiritual particle can even release an arcane spell independently.

Originally, 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 Ordinary tens of thousands of spiritual particles.”

 This completes the entire process—from one high-voltage spiritual particle to fission into ten thousand ordinary spiritual particles.

 “In other words.”

Duke stared at the test platform with burning eyes, where there were several high-pressure spiritual particles, which were restrained by his powerful steady-state psychic stance to prevent the radiation of energy.

"High-voltage spiritual particles are the most perfect energy storage material... They can not only store energy to power equipment, but also store spiritual particles and provide spiritual energy for arcanists... Each of these high-voltage spiritual particles is like a portable spiritual spring! "

 For a moment, Duke thought of its countless possibilities.

Originally, I just came to extract the practical data of general-purpose mechas. Unexpectedly, I got the perfect energy source by accident, and even the engine problem of the combat mechas was solved.

“Using high-voltage spiritual particles as engine energy, this engine power is enough to meet any needs of combat mechas!”

Coupled with the vector engine design of the engine, the combat mecha can perform any ultrdifficult action, such as emergency stops, reverse thrust, rotation, jumping, vertical blasts, etc., and the energy is almost unlimited, allowing it to fight for days and nights without panting.

 “Huhu.”

Duke put away his reverie and immediately gave an order to Xiaoyi: "To study 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 my Energy Storage No. 1 and Energy Storage 2 The number is upgraded, and all the stored spiritual particles are 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 psychic energy.

Now with high-voltage spiritual particles, the energy storage effect can be increased by more than 10,000 times in an instant, which is equivalent to carrying two large spiritual springs with you.

The energy originally stored in No. 1 and No. 2 can allow him to last for three to five days during a battle in an environment where his spiritual energy is dry.

 Switching to high-voltage spiritual particles would allow Duke to fight for hundreds of years in an environment with dry spiritual energy!

"exaggerate!"

 Duke calculated it carefully and was stunned.

Just 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."

 Humans no longer need to build a city above the spiritual fountain, 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 Trust and the Ring of Energy are both in the research stage.

 Until the research is thorough, Duke does not intend to announce it to the outside world, but only spends a lot of energy on research in private.

 The consumption of energy made it impossible for him to even bear the normal responsibility of serving as chairman of the Supreme Committee.

 After all, the age of cave 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 the Supreme Committee needs to meet is far more than in the previous Thersus era.

to this end.

 Duque has 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 after Elaven, Belonissa and Huntley Mustang, two more stars have been born in the Seven Towers Federation in the past five years. One of them, Bo Lagu, was also a learned sage from the Supreme Committee.

It happened that Duque did not have 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 is 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, but foreign countries will soon catch up."

"We can't catch up." Selsus waved his hand, "Foreign countries are developing, and we are also developing, one step at a time, each step at a faster pace."

As he spoke, he laughed and patted Duke on the shoulder: "Don't forget, we have the six-ring prophet and eight sages who are the most sages in the world."

 Duke smiled slightly but said nothing.

But I am thinking in my heart, what about the six-ring prophet? Wait a moment, and the person standing in front of you will be the eight-ring prophet!

Thersus 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 is planned, and the spiritual arcana will explode next!"

 “Sir, how is your Coronation of the Sun?” Duke suddenly asked.

Sersus's face darkened, and his movements of stroking his beard became stiff. After a long while, he sighed and said, "I think highly of myself."

"How to say?"

"It doesn't work, come on, don't ask anymore." Selsus said impatiently, "You can figure it out by yourself about the impact of the 9th ring on the sun. I have no interest in it anymore... Don't mention it in front of me in the future. This matter."

 He thought that although there was a talent gap between himself and Andre Evening Primrose, the gap was not big.

 Andre Evening Primrose can become the Speaker, and he can also become the Speaker. Andre Evening Primrose can hit the 9th Ring of the Sun, so naturally he can also take the title of Coronation Sun.

after all.

He also has the help of Duke, and more prosperous spiritual arcane magic, so he may not be unable to achieve the feat of Andre Evening Primrose.

who knows.

It's useless. Even if you get a trace of spirituality from the Circle of Wisdom, you still can't get through the Chapter of the Crowned Sun, so you can only dismount in a hurry.

Disturbed by Duke's question, Selsus 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 check information in the Tower of Offa - Cloud Library Only part of the information has been uploaded, and confidential information is still stored offline in Offa Tower.

“Well, I thought Sir Thelsus could explore the way for me, but I didn't expect...” Duke held a piece of information and sighed with emotion.

The wise man appeared 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 or drinking in order to solve a problem." The wise man spoke softly.

I don't know if there is any emotion in the words. His tone is always soft, and other emotions are rarely felt.

 “So what about Thersus?”

"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. Thersus.” Duke smiled.

He immediately 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 changes in spiritual arcana are too fast. I can no longer keep up with my knowledge. I need new tower spirits to share my knowledge." It's my responsibility.”

 This supreme arcane tower is getting taller and taller, and it stores more and more spiritual and arcane knowledge.

Even creatures like the Shell Wise Man who survived the ancient times would be unable to take on the task of maintaining the many data of Offa Tower.

"And...the ring of wisdom, the light brain, what kind of...world is that?" The figure of the 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 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 shrink unconsciously and disconnect from the network cable, the light on the Shell Wise Man becomes stable.

 The compound eyes also retracted.

"Huh, what 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 spirit 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 Shell Wisdom has wisdom. It looked at the light brain with the screen on, and suddenly realized something: “What if the light brain becomes my brain?”

Thinking of this, Hu Zhizhi felt an impatience.

However, it quickly suppressed this impulse, but 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, and whether the light brain can become a brain, in the Shell Wisdom's cognition, is obviously Duke, the inventor of the Ring of Wisdom.

 Duke must have a way to turn the light brain into its brain.
