Chapter 107 The concept of the grenade gun!

Xiao En's research progress is advancing slowly but effectively.

On the third day, the time the out-of-control person was awake increased to half an hour. On the fourth day, the out-of-control person remained awake for nearly an hour while maintaining spiritual resonance with Xiao En, and told Xiao En about its experience before it lost control. It saw an indescribable old family member, but that old family member did not kill it.

The fifth day was also the most critical day. With the help of multiple mental spells and the mental connection between himself and the out-of-control person, Sean managed to keep the person awake for a whole morning.

During this period, the Out-of-Control Person acted like a normal person and even expressed his desire to eat some of the Halfling's flame dishes.

Finally, after the mind-blessing spell disappeared, Sean severed the mental connection with it, and the out-of-control creature returned to its state of madness.

"The activated knowledge inside the brain of the out-of-control person has been completely changed."

"It is completely different from the mysterious knowledge in the brains of normal extraordinary people."

"I can only wake it up temporarily, but I can't maintain this effect."

Xiao En's research progress has reached a bottleneck.

This stuck lasted for nearly a week, and there was no further progress in his research. Although he could make the out-of-control person wake up, as soon as he severed the mental link, madness would immediately take over their brain again.

It was also during this research process that Xiao En's level of spiritual master was raised by one level.

He is now - 5th level Arcanist/5th level Psion/4th level Orc.

"Owner!"

The clay golem walked to the door of the laboratory with heavy steps and reminded: "You have worked all day. Now it's time for dinner."

Since Xiao En had some extra money recently, he upgraded the hardware of the clay golem.

Basically, it makes it more intelligent, which is equivalent to an artificial intelligence butler. It just so happens that Xiao En also needs to practice alchemical engraving, so he reshaped the rune structure inside the clay golem's brain. The soul crystal that serves as the core operation has also been upgraded from the most basic small soul stone to a soul gem.

The soul gem was obtained when the night witch was killed. It gave the clay golem a higher intelligence, which was equivalent to using the souls of other creatures as the original driving force. The remaining memories in the soul gem would serve as the underlying logic for the actions of the constructed golem.

So after completing this set of upgrades, the Clay Golem can perform more complex tasks in addition to simple cleaning.

Of course, if you still want to upgrade, it is not impossible. There are two ways to advance. One is to use soul gems that are close to legendary level, and the other is to use the brains of other creatures. The Brain Golem is a construct invented by a monster.

"But the latter is very evil. The computers in the Hammer world seem to use the human brain as the basic hardware."

Xiao En stood up, a dominant human, and controlled the out-of-control person in front of him.

As the experiment progressed, the out-of-control person's resistance to Sean's mind control spells became lower and lower. He was now undergoing a long process of psychic surgery, constantly modifying his memory and implanting his own cognitive thoughts into the other person's brain bit by bit.

Maybe one day, when Sean completes the entire will implantation, it may be possible for it to wake up completely and completely reverse and reshape the crazy activation knowledge.

However, the extraordinary people rescued in this way will probably never be able to be promoted to the legendary destiny in this lifetime.

Their minds are flawed and they rely not on themselves but on others.

But being alive is good.

Today's dinner is the grilled hind legs of a Dora beast, a mutated creature from the underground world. It looks a bit like a multi-legged beast of burden, a creature of deformed flesh and blood. The reproductive isolation of the entire weird country has been disrupted, and the deformation of flesh and blood has spawned many strange species.

When living in Abyss City, don't have too high requirements on food, as long as it's edible.

The taste is actually pretty good.

The meat is just very tough, but the halfling chef's skills are very good. Now the tower has specially hired a halfling chef to serve Sean on a daily basis.

Xiao En finished his dinner and was just about to go to the astrology table to clear his mind.

Suddenly, a dark figure emerged. It stood in the shadows, leaned forward slightly, and said respectfully: "Master Xiao En. We have guests!"

Currently, Xiao En’s security level is very high, and there is a quasi-legendary assassin who is specifically protecting him.

guest?

Xiao En has always been a recluse in Abyss City and has basically no friends. After thinking about it, he guessed who it was and nodded, "Please ask her to come in."

Soon, a soft sound of footsteps was heard, followed by a faint sweet fragrance.

Succubus-Veronica.

Xiao En also smelled a little bit of sulfur. Sure enough, behind the succubus was a fire demon. His name was Aoun, and he was a transcendent who practiced both the gold and demon paths. This guy might also be a reincarnated soul from another world. I don't know how he concealed his breath, but he should not have been an ordinary human in his previous life. He might have been a star race from another world, or an intelligent elemental life.

Ornn is so devoted to the powers of fire and explosions that he has even gained access to the Inner Elemental Plane of Fire.

It is immune to fire damage and can withstand temperatures of tens of thousands of degrees.

Xiao En himself, on the other hand, could not enter the elemental plane of fire as he would be roasted. Casting spells on him was also very dangerous and he would not be able to hold out for long.

"Master Xiao En!"

The succubus - Veronica had obviously dressed up carefully tonight. She wore a dark red dress that looked like an evening gown, dotted with tiny lace, revealing a deep, white cleavage on her chest. The slit of the dress was close to the waist. Her long thighs were white and slender but full of power, as if they could easily strangle a strong man. She wore an exquisite ruby ​​necklace on her white neck, and the lavender devil tattoo on her collarbone made her look particularly charming and beautiful.

Veronica used the Orb of Transformation to conceal her demonic side. She folded her demon wings and her tail with poisonous stings disappeared. Her feet became exactly the same as those of humans, revealing her slender ankles.

After this change, she looked less dangerous like a devil and more pitiful and charming like a woman.

Xiao En nodded slightly and said, "Please come in."

They came here today probably to invest in Hellflame. Xiao En has already sold many of the extraordinary relics he obtained last time. The most valuable ones are the relics of the Lizardman leader and the relics of his old family. He can probably get more than 12,000 soul stones from them.

In the Abyss City, if there are too many soul stones, they will be exchanged for equivalent rare items and relics. Sometimes soul gems are also used as a currency of higher value.

Most soul gems come from advanced transcendents, and their value ranges from hundreds to thousands of soul stones.

Soul stones are relatively common. The souls of mortals, animals, and some strange souls can all give birth to soul stones. Soul worms can also be transformed into soul stones through rituals through "blood and flesh alchemy".

The value of the legendary soul crystal is difficult to estimate.

Compared to the scheming succubus Veronica, the Fire Demon was much more straightforward. It did not sit on Sean's sofa because it would burn the furniture as its body temperature was too high.

The Fire Demon said to Xiao En eagerly, "Sir Xiao En, there is absolutely no problem for you to invest in Hellflame."

"I just happen to need a lot of funds for research."

"In addition, I am very interested in the bolter you mentioned. I have never heard of this kind of firearm, not even in Dorne."

Hearing the words of the Fire Demon, Xiao En immediately withdrew his eyes from the proud peaks of the succubus.

He left the succubus aside and walked to the desk with great interest. He picked up the pen and drew on the drawing with his invisible hand, saying in a deep voice, "This is a bold idea."

"Conventional firearms are already ineffective against high-level monsters." "So, we need something more powerful."

"A bolt gun, as the name implies, is a firearm whose bullets explode when fired. It is heavier than ordinary firearms, and the ammunition needs to be matched with some extraordinary relics. I recently studied some alchemical materials found in the plane of fire, and found that some elemental materials are very suitable as explosives."

“Of course, it’s not that stable.”

Because of the blessing of reading magic, Xiao En can learn anything very quickly. He can memorize the contents of a book in ten minutes, but it takes more time to digest it.

As his brain's hardware upgraded, Sean's ability to understand also improved. He felt that his brain was about to evolve into a low-profile biological computer.

The Fire Demon listened with great interest, nodded, and asked his own questions.

In fact, Sean had the idea of ​​the grenade launcher a long time ago.

It first happened in Dorne. At that time, under Hank's leadership, he obtained several special bullets from the Night Watch's logistics department. He used extraordinary relics and alchemical engravings, and the power was quite great. Once a bullet was fired, it was like a cannonball, very powerful.

However, these ammunitions are rare and difficult to make, and there are not so many extraordinary relics in the real world.

At that time, Xiao En was wondering why we had to use conventional firearms to fire these bullets, why couldn't the caliber be larger, why couldn't we design a large firearm specifically to fire this type of bullet?

Due to the limitations of his thinking at the time, Xiao En did not think deeply about these issues.

Now that he has completed the reshaping of his self-cognition, he feels that all this is achievable. The bullets produced through alchemical means already have the basic design for use as grenade launchers.

"The Alchemist Demigod can even design an antimatter rifle, so why can't I create a high-powered bolter?"

"I'm from Earth."

"I am very familiar with firearms. The traditional spellcaster's fighting style may not be suitable for me, so I need a more powerful firearm."

"If possible, I would like to make an electromagnetic cannon."

Not far away, the succubus Veronica bit her charming red lips. She was obviously aware at first that Sean's attention was attracted by her proud figure. As an advanced succubus, she was very confident about this because she was a peerless beauty for men and could bring them unprecedented joy and happiness, although it required a small price (physical absorption).

But before she could use her charm skills, Xiao En was attracted by the words of the Fire Demon. The two men gathered together and enthusiastically discussed the idea of ​​the grenade launcher, completely leaving her aside.

She is not a succubus who relies on seduction to gain power and build a career. The extraordinary people who can cross the path and advance to become succubus magicians all have extraordinary willpower, because crossing the path itself is a very difficult thing.

Those lowest-level succubi make a living by selling their bodies in the Abyss City, but Veronica was able to rise entirely by relying on her own wisdom, means, and strength.

But reality dealt her a heavy blow. Her first attempt to gain the upper hand through seduction failed. Her elaborate dressing was not as attractive as the questions casually asked by the Fire Demon.

However, she did not disturb the two people in front of her. Instead, she stayed quietly by the side and even took the initiative to make a cup of green tea for Xiao En.

She is a very smart woman.

Veronica was born in the Dagon region. She was a supernatural being who sneaked from the real world to the weird kingdom. There were many people who sneaked from the real world in the Abyss City. However, after leaving the real world, it was very difficult to go back.

Normally, it is the extraordinary people who have completed the "transformation" ritual and are no longer human in terms of race who want to sneak out of the real world.

Because they are no longer human, it is very inconvenient for them to live in the real world.

"Look at this."

Xiao En handed the remaining alchemical bullets to the Fire Demon in front of him and said in a deep voice: "If we can mass-produce this kind of bullets and create a special firearm, the most basic bolt gun will be completed."

The Fire Demon stared at the bullet in front of him, which was as exquisite as a work of art. The alchemical engravings on it were very complicated. He said in a deep voice, "Its craftsmanship is very high."

“It requires very strong craft skills.”

It put it in front of its nose and sniffed it, then continued, "We used extraordinary relics as materials, which is not difficult. It is easy to collect in the Weird Kingdom. As long as there are enough soul stones, the adventurers can help us find them."

"If I want to mass-produce this thing, I'll need a lot of alchemy apprentices."

Xiao En nodded silently and said, "Productivity."

“Without sufficient productivity, it is indeed difficult to achieve large-scale mass production.”

It is not ordinary people who are the productive forces, but extraordinary people who are the productive forces. It must be the alchemical path, or extraordinary people who possess alchemical skills.

The Fire Demon hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll take this bullet."

"I'll see if I can replicate it."

"As for firearms that specifically use this type of bullet, if you have an idea, give me the blueprint and I'll study it myself. It's very powerful, and continuous firing requires very high material requirements for the firearm."

Materials science.

Xiao En nodded silently and said, "I'm afraid the existing materials science is not enough. I will think about the application of arcane materials."

The Burning Devil didn't quite understand some of his terms, but it could understand them. It nodded and said, "It would be fine to use fine gold and secret silver, but the cost is too expensive."

"Maybe Aogang can give it a try."

The full name of Arcane Steel is Arcane Steel, which is a metal ingot that has been fused with magic.

Until the two of them left, Sean didn't have time to talk more with Veronica. He could only visit her another day. There was a curfew in the maze zone at night, so they couldn't stay here.

Xiao En watched the succubus's seductive back as she left, and stared intently at her plump, round buttocks that were as round as a full moon.

"It seems that even after asking the Tao, I am still as much of a pervert as I was in my previous life."

"Because I am."

Xiao En smiled self-deprecatingly, and the moment he turned around, he had already calmed down and completely forgot about the succubus's seductive and alluring figure.

There is no woman in my heart, so I draw my sword to the God of Nature.

He does not need to deliberately suppress or reject his own desires, because that is part of nature, but he cannot let them affect his mind. He can pick up and put down at any time. This is the result of his seeking the truth.

Succubi are certainly alluring!
Want to fuck.

But no one can stop him from walking his own path to destiny!

Xiao En walked into the laboratory and said calmly: "Prepare for the next experiment, thought implantation and mind reconstruction surgery."

The clay golem said in a muffled voice: "Okay, Master."
