Lu Ping'an's current combat strength composition has actually gone astray...
"More like a heavily armored warrior than a gardener."
It's hard to refute Big Cat's words. Not only does a gardener's professional ability take time to cultivate, but the growth curve of being weak in the early stage and strong in the later stage is also there.
If we only rely on gardeners, it will be difficult for Lu Ping An to form immediate combat capabilities in the short term.
Lu Ping'an, who faced constant powerful enemies and was in urgent need of immediate combat power, naturally used some extraordinary means.
It can be said that more than 90% of his current combat power is actually based on the combat platform with "Zhixi" as the core.
Breathing methods, professional abilities, extraordinary martial arts, forbidden silver items, fire skills, etc. are all weapons loaded on the "platform", and ultimately have the effect of integrated use.
"Zhixi is actually an empty frame..."
This is not a malicious description, because this is the original design. Lu Pingan needs a shelf and a platform to integrate his fragmented abilities, so that one plus one is far greater than two.
At the same time, he needs a protective shell to protect his "fragile" self.
In fact, Lu Ping An was successful, even more successful than the best result expected.
When he used a bunch of first- and second-level abilities, he achieved third-level combat power. When he generally reached the second- and third-level professions, he even reached the law-level combat power.
Now? I'm afraid he can already compete head-on with ordinary fourth- and fifth-level people.
As for the defensive ability originally pursued, after the blessing of Divine Bone Bone Powder and the initial four or five layers of defense, the hard anti-rotation stone artillery should be easy to use.
"...Perhaps it's time to fill this empty shelf."
Originally, the two characteristics of "defense" and "integrated platform" were pursued. As a single combat unit, there was not much expectation.
"As an individual's combat power, its strength... and physique are somewhat unable to keep up with the version."
For melee units, the most important and fundamental thing is actually strength... This directly determines your speed, explosive power, load capacity, and attack ability.
This is similar to fighting. If you have enough brute force, you can knock him down with one punch. If you don't have enough strength, you can give someone a massage.
Lu Ping'an's armor is actually an empty shell, and it's not him who really exerts his power... His physique is actually only at the upper level of brass, which is not bad for his age and level, but as a person who specializes in close combat, he is not enough.
"...Only relying on the symbiotic demon plant and Chiki, we can achieve the brute strength of Shirogane's lower level."
The real force is not only Zhixi's "living armor", but also Lu Ping'an's "living muscle", which exists as a symbiotic demonic plant.
The problem is that as the Sun Blood Vine, the Symbiotic Demonic Plant's advantage does not lie in pure physical power, but relying solely on this indirect symbiote is not only difficult to control, but the upper limit is already obvious.
What's even more troublesome is that if the symbiotic magic plant is allowed to provide assistance, Zhixi will be under more internal pressure. In a sense, it is a kind of self-harm, and both parties actually tend to have internal conflicts.
In the current combat environment, this level of effort is sufficient.
But Lu Pingan is obviously relying less and less on pure close combat. He needs a more powerful "physique" to increase the upper limit of his combat platform.
"How is it? How long will it take?"
"...Who knows, your demands are too high."
The "mecha" in front of me is similar in structure to the exoskeleton of an auxiliary life form, but it is actually the "endoskeleton" inside the Silver Knight.
If there is a limit to the "living muscles" that can twist at will, then create a real skeleton for it to facilitate its precise and safe output... And if the skeleton itself can exert force, that would be even better. .
"Theoretically, this is a perfect design. The symbiotic magic plant you can generate fire meets the internal mechanical structure that converts thermal energy into kinetic energy. It is almost a perpetual motion machine in another sense. You can obtain considerable results with very little consumption. Strong instant explosive power..."
As a builder, Fang Wen affirmed Lu Ping'an's design ideas, and then talked about the construction ideas...
"...But it's too difficult. You have no idea how difficult it is to make the control device. Are you sure that if you charge the mechanical arm, it won't shoot out on its own?"
Fang Wen, a design master who has designed countless mechanical creatures, finally rejected Lu Ping'an's first version of the design idea.
It is not only extremely difficult to make a monolithic "humanoid endoskeleton", but also involves and interferes with each other, and it is easy to hurt yourself.
The Divine Bone and Spin Power Stone is not an easy mount to tame, it is a wild horse that may devour its owner at any time.
"I personally suggest that you adopt the four plus one model. First make four independent limbs as power points (buried in the sacred bones), and then connect them with metal parts and lines. You control these by operating the 'limbs' A system.”
Party A completely ignored the difficulty of the construction party. Based on the actual situation, Fang Wen proposed a downgraded version of the problem-solving idea.
Lu Ping'an thought about it and felt it was right, and then added new requirements as Party A...
"... My new profession's 'dancing shoes', can you integrate them into the limbs of the feet? Hands are also needed, this is what I discovered from heaven. The hands are still mainly used for power generation, You don’t need the flame control strength of your feet, but you need more fire holes.”
The output of light kinetic energy is not enough, do you need additional "flame outlets"? Do you still need to integrate the energy conversion module of "Dancing Shoes"? If it weren't for the fact that there was no flesh and blood, Fang Wen might have blacked out immediately and fainted.
But let alone, her technology is still very good. Even though the design ideas given by Lu Ping An are quite nonsense, after working overtime during this period, she was actually able to make a prototype.
Now, it’s time for acceptance.
It was a strange humanoid "mecha" with limbs like armored giants, a pillar behind it, and metal components connecting it to the left and right.
The real core components are actually the components of the hands and feet. They are the components that generate force and can also be strengthened through continuous adjustment.
Lu Ping'an was about to go up excitedly, but was stopped by designer Fang Wen.
"...Let's try it with the magic wolf first."
Demonic wolf too? If you just put the wolf in the driver's seat, it would really work.
"boom!"
In an instant, there was only a pile of minced meat and blood on the seat.
Two parts of the limbs have flown out, and the originally connected metal components have been twisted into twists. This heavy-handed "robot" has completely disintegrated.
"...It looks like it still needs a little improvement."
Okay, it looks like there is still something to be done.
"Our time is limited..." At this time, Lu Ping'an was hesitant.
At this moment, more information has surfaced, and some restrictions have been placed in front of everyone. When the Ship of God returns, the group will definitely go home.
And if you leave this world, not to mention the development progress, most of this thing will be wasted immediately if you take it out.
"Perhaps, we can change our thinking, don't worry about one-time molding, first make a pair of 'gloves' and a pair of 'dancing shoes', turn them into taboo items, retain their core characteristics, and do the rest on Earth. Assembly completed.”
"If we take this path, we can increase the upper limit of the entire system through continuous gain and improvement of individual limbs. The only problem is..." Lu Ping'an looked at Zhixi with great meaning. Obviously, Zhixi would be under a lot of pressure if he acted like this.
At this time, Zhixi agreed immediately.
"Don't worry about me, I want to become stronger. I'm about to enter the third level."
