Chapter 213, Research
On the ground, within the shielding circle set up by Xiang An, Qingshi released two puppets that were tied tightly with wire mesh. The military formation puppet had now broken away from the control of the center of the formation in the tomb passage and became as motionless as a dead thing.
Chen Tianye stretched out his hand to pull at the metal mesh and asked, "Qingshi, what kind of magic weapon is this? It's amazing!"
"This is a net woven with the metal wires that connect the array cannons and spiritual veins," Qingshi said with a smile. "I added some gadgets depicting induction array patterns at the mesh joints. There are nine in total. In fact, they are just one The array plate was split into nine parts. In this way, the net and a storage ring that I specially treated can sense each other. When I take back the net, I will naturally take in the things in the net. "
"Wonderful!" Xiang An shook his head and praised, "Not only does he have fantastic ideas, but he also has the skills to split the formation plate and refine the wonderful spiritual weapons. He is indeed an all-rounder and a great talent. Don't be convinced! "
To say that this installation is flattering and comfortable, Qingshi can't help but feel a little proud.
"Can you net people?" Duan Wutian asked.
"It's okay to put people into the net and tie them up," Qingshi said, "but if the net is a living creature, it can't be put into the storage ring."
"That's not bad!" Chen Tianye said, "We can improve it and refine it into a magic weapon specially designed to net people. If the person is caught in the net, he will probably be tied up tightly and can only be captured without any help."
Qingshi felt that Chen Tianye's suggestion was very good. The metal wire used as a spiritual vein conductor was very tough, even the sword spirit soldiers could not cut it. Moreover, it had excellent stretchability, so it was definitely a good thing to use to tie people up.
However, Qingshi's mind is still on this puppet now.
Qingshi untied the wire mesh and separated the two puppets who were huddled together. His own puppet was seriously injured, so Qingshi took it back and left it to be repaired when he was free in the future.
The captured military puppets were left outside, ready to be cut into pieces for study.
Qingshi took out disassembly tools such as carving knives, hammers, crowbars, and hooks, and wanted to dismember the puppet. However, after searching for a long time on the puppet, he found no gaps. Except for the head, neck and limb joints, the entire torso of the puppet was It was actually cast in one piece, leaving no hidden door for easy disassembly and repair.
Qingshi felt a little strange, and after a moment's thought, he understood the reason. These puppets were buried underground forever with their tomb owners, how could they possibly be repaired? This design makes its internal core less susceptible to corrosion by the external environment. However, this would bring a lot of trouble to Qingshi's research.
Ordinary disassembly tools were of no use, so Qingshi had to find another way.
Qingshi thought for a while, walked out of the shielding array and came to the center of the wide siege square. With a wave of his hand, the Xuanhu, which was more than forty feet long, appeared out of thin air and floated several feet above the ground of the square.
Although the evil spirit is strong here, there is also a relatively strong spiritual energy. It is still easy for the Xuanhu to float low here. As for activating the shielding array of the spacecraft to isolate the evil spirit, there is no need for spiritual energy in the air. It can be done by relying solely on the spiritual source of the spacecraft itself.
Under the rear deck of the Xuanhu, there is a large weapon refining room. Qingshi will use professional tool equipment to dissect this military formation puppet.
In appearance, this puppet is similar to the mainstream puppets in Tianlong Continent. They are all life-size and the whole body is made of metal. Regardless of the puppets, they basically don't wear armor. They usually have armor patterns cast directly on the surface of their torsos and limbs, making them look like they are wearing armor. This puppet is no exception.
Qingshi placed the puppet on the operating platform of the refining room, then used smelting tools to cut open its torso shell, and then used tools to dismantle its head, neck and limbs along the joints. It took a full day to finally This puppet was really cut into pieces and dissected into a lot of parts.
Qingshi spent a lot of time studying the puppet in depth, and it wasn't until seven days later that he fully understood all the magic about the puppet.
Compared with several of Qingshi's current puppets, this puppet has several main differences.
First, the materials are different. Although they are all cast from metal, a large amount of black gold is added to the casting materials of the military formation puppets. This is a very tough metal that is very rare and precious on the mainland. It is generally used for processing into cutting. Other metal tools, such as several bluestone carving knives, are all made of black gold alloy. Because of the incorporation of Wujin, these puppets have excellent resistance to strikes.
Second, the spiritual sources are different. The puppets on the mainland basically use spiritual stones as spiritual sources, but these military formation puppets actually use both black evil stones and spiritual stones as spiritual sources. This is the same principle as those cannons, and The advantage is that it can make the puppet move faster and have greater power.
Third, the control technology is more advanced. Generally, puppets have a control array disk, which is a pivot core, but this puppet does not have a pivot core, but only a sensing device. This shows that the tool technique used to control it is very different from the mainstream puppet control technique on the mainland, but it is obviously more sophisticated. This is also the reason why they can cooperate well with each other to form a military formation.
There is no need to study the issue of materials. Qingshi also knows the problem of spiritual sources relatively well, because he has already thoroughly studied the cannons that use spiritual stones and black evil stones as spiritual sources.
The most important thing is the control technique of the military formation puppet. Qingshi has never seen such a technique in Tianlong Academy, and even Ou Changzhi has not told him about it. Obviously this is an unknown technique in Tianlong Continent. Mainland China's puppetry is much more advanced.
As Qingshi studied, he found that these techniques were connected with some things in his memory, which were Xiao Lou's incomplete memories. Obviously, Xiao Lou knew about this technique.
As a result, Qingshi quickly awakened this incomplete memory of the techniques. Within a few days, he fully understood and mastered these advanced techniques, turning Xiao Lou's memory into his own skills.
On this day, Qingshi felt that the research had been completed. He also had an excellent idea on how to deal with the huge puppet army.
If the plan goes well, the thousands of military formation puppets may become his own private army. Qingshi felt excited when he thought of this. He immediately walked out of the weapon refining room and came to the deck to take some air and calm down his excitement.
As soon as they came up to the deck, they saw Duan Wutian, Chen Tianye and Xiang An shooting and sword fighting on the deck, fighting fiercely.
Qingshi took a closer look and saw that it was Chen Tianye and Xiang An who were fighting Duan Wutian together. The weapons of the three of them were banging against each other non-stop, and their words were not idle.
"Lao Xiang can't stand it anymore!" Duan Wutian laughed loudly, "Don't blame me for kicking your ass if you don't admit defeat, haha..."
"Young Master Duan Tu is so proud!" Chen Tianye kept attacking with a sword as tight as a sword, and shouted angrily at the same time, "Lao Xiang, you are also at the middle level of the Golden Core Realm after all! Your swordsmanship is as weak as that of a girl, of course I can’t stand it anymore! Try harder..."
"This guy is too strong!" Xiang An gritted his teeth and said, "You said it's easy, come and try for a while..."
Duan Wutian has made great progress since he used the dragon beads to practice his skills. After breaking through to the golden elixir realm three years ago, his combat power has skyrocketed.
Chen Tianye, like Qingshi, has been stuck at the peak of the ninth level of the Yuan Dan Realm for many years. His actual combat ability is very strong. Xiang An, who is in the fourth level of the Jin Dan Realm, can only tie with him at most.
You must know that Xiang An is a few years older than Duan Wutian, and his Jindan realm cultivation is not accumulated through long-term hard training. In the eyes of ordinary people, Xiang An is also an incredible genius, and he is also considered outstanding in the Xiang family. .
But now, Duan Wutian beat Xiang An and Chen Tianye to the point where they couldn't resist. Even Qingshi couldn't help but nod at Duan Wutian to express his appreciation.
The three of them continued fighting for a while, and Duan Wutian suddenly roared and fired a shot across the air. Chen Tianye raised his sword to parry, but he and the sword were sent flying three feet away. His arm was so numb that he could hardly hold the hilt of the sword.
Duan Wutian fought off Chen Tianye and pounced on Xiang An without hesitation.
Xiang An saw that he was coming with a fierce attack, and he was obviously trying to get in his own way. He quickly threw the big knife and ran away, shouting: "Okay, old Duan, I give up!"
Although Chen Tianye was unwilling to do so, he could only put away his sword and said: "You win!"
Duan Wutian won and accepted the bets that Xiang An and Chen Tianye lost - 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones each. I couldn't help laughing proudly, but I still felt that I was still not satisfied, and I had the idea of Qingshi.
Xiang An rolled his eyes and smiled: "Although Old Duan is powerful, I bet you are no match for Qingshi!"
"Really?" Duan Wutian was about to compete with Qingshi, and immediately said, "The battle when Qingshi defeated Jiang Chenliang was earth-shattering! At that time, I thought I was no match for Qingshi. Now! Qingshi is just as stuck as Lao Chen. I am at the ninth level of the Yuan Dan Realm, but I am already at the second level of the Golden Dan Realm. Hey, Qingshi, how about practicing with Brother Seven? Bet 10,000 high-grade spiritual stones."
Ever since a few people dug tens of millions of high-grade spiritual stones, Duan Wutian and Chen Tianye had to bet tens of thousands of spiritual stones on almost everything they did.
"One hundred thousand," Qingshi said with a smile, "One hundred thousand high-grade spiritual stones and I will play with you."
"I'll follow!" Chen Tianye said, "I'll bet Shi Wan on the bluestone to win!"
"I'll follow you too!" Xiang An said, "I'll also bet Shi Wan on the bluestone to win!" Then he added in a mean tone, "Old Duan, do you dare to accept the move?"
Is there anything in this world that Duan Wutian dare not do? Besides, fighting is his favorite.
So, after a stick of incense, Duan Wutian honestly paid 300,000 high-grade spiritual stones.
Duan Wutian was heartbroken by the loss, and shouted angrily at Qingshi: "Shitou, you have been working on that puppet for so many days, have you finished it? When can we go down to dig for treasure?"
Xiang An also said: "Yes Qingshi, how do you plan to deal with those puppets?"
Qingshi smiled and said: "I want to collect all these puppets and build them into my army!"
Chen Tianye shouted: "No way? It takes so much effort to collect just one, but it would take hundreds and eighty years to collect more than a thousand?"
"That's right!" Duan Wutian said, "It's too troublesome to put these puppets away, so let's blast them with cannons!"
"Old Duan, Old Chen, don't worry!" Xiang An smiled, "Qingshi will naturally not use the method last time, right?"
"Isn't that nonsense?" Qingshi said, "Last time, eight people were taken in to collect this one. What a loss! You made such a big sacrifice just to find a better way!"
"Oh! That's it!" Chen Tianye said, "Then you must have found a good way? Tell me now!"
"Of course, hahaha..." Qingshi laughed and said, "The mountain man has his own clever plan. This time, I will catch all these puppets!"
