Ten thousand I am across the heavens

Chapter 1887 Biological Magic

Lan Nuo's speed was too exaggerated. On the one hand, his ability to control his body was incredible. The movements of his fingers would not deviate at all. On the other hand, he had a deep understanding of the structure of the body. He could easily separate the muscles and nerves around the eyeball. In the process of making it again and again, he was also familiar with the principle and structure of this special magic device. He also started a preview to try to use this prop himself.

I have to admit that this thing works pretty well. It's like a portable surveillance camera. The only problem may be that the field of view is limited in distance. Once the signal transmission limit is exceeded, there is no way to share the field of view.

But if this thing is paired with a small light bulb, it is still very useful for exploring some pipes. If you can find a smaller eye to make this thing, maybe you can put it into the keyhole to open the lock or copy the key.

  A day passed, and when Old York came to check the results, he was shocked to see Lan Nuo had far exceeded the target. He secretly regretted that the target he had set for him was too low. In this way, all the over-fulfillment of the task would be considered overtime pay. All of it could be used to exchange for knowledge from him. Wouldn't such a deep accumulation soon be enough to empty his family's pockets?

"We must find a way to make things a little more difficult for this kid tomorrow. Otherwise, he'll grow wings and fly away before we can squeeze out all his value."

The only thing that made him feel fortunate was that Lan Nuo was not in a hurry to use the savings he accumulated on the first day to exchange for knowledge. It seemed that he wanted to accumulate more savings to exchange for more advanced knowledge.

However, what she didn't know was that Lan Nuo had actually gotten what he wanted in the process. In the preview, he had exchanged all his contributions for the whole day for the knowledge he wanted to know, and each time he exchanged for different types of knowledge. In this way, he had already obtained most of the basic knowledge of magic in just one day.

He might be able to figure these things out by himself, but it would take too much time and energy. Now, after inheriting the knowledge of his predecessors, he quickly gained a relatively deeper understanding of this world's magic system.

The magic system in this world is still based on using mental power to interfere with the operation of magic energy. Magic energy will produce different performances when stimulated by mental power. The feedback stimulation will also affect the mental power, and thus affect the individual's nervous system.

The former manifests itself as various elemental magics, relying on mental power to interfere with the surrounding magic energy, thus producing various natural phenomena.

The latter is manifested as spiritual spells, which are similar to hypnosis and mind control. As for the eyeball detectors made before, they can be regarded as an extension of the latter.

The electrical signals generated after the eyeball receives the light signal are used to stimulate the magic energy, thereby feeding back signals that can be received by spiritual power, thereby establishing a connection with the nervous system. This will allow the user to have corresponding hallucinations and see what the monitoring eyeball sees.

According to the information he obtained, simple magicians have declined in this era. The natural energy released by relying on mental power to stimulate magic is actually not too much. Even for a magician who has trained for decades, his mental power is already very strong. The energy that can be released at one time may be equivalent to the power of a few dozen grams of medicine explosion.

For a civilization that has entered the steam age and can produce all kinds of powerful explosives, this level of power is far from enough to play a big role on the battlefield. What's more, this city is too small. In fact, there is no large-scale war at all.

All weapons are produced to deal with the deformed monsters in the wilderness and for the very rare missions of internal suppression.

Because of this, in this steam age, military equipment has taken the strange path of mecha. In the development of conventional weapons, mecha equipment is far inferior to tanks in terms of speed, endurance, reliability and firepower.

This kind of equipment only has certain advantages in some special battlefield environments.

Twilight City is a place where this advantage can be brought into play. It is not just the roads in the underground city that are narrow and crowded. In fact, the places above are not much better. There are also many buildings, narrow roads, and everything around is covered by a steel jungle. It is impossible for a tank to drive in such an environment.

In addition, leaving the Twilight Shield to explore outside also requires equipment that can cope with more complex terrains. Tracked vehicles are obviously insufficient when facing the rugged and steep mountainous environment outside.

Lan Nuo has not yet obtained the mecha design drawings of this world, but after knowing a lot of basic magic knowledge, he actually doesn't need the mecha design drawings of this world. He is fully confident that he can design a better product. This world follows this strange technology tree. It just happens to be convenient for him.

Building a small, body-hugging mecha is undoubtedly the simplest way to improve individual combat effectiveness. As far as he knows, there are many finished parts on the market, which is much simpler than pure manual processing.

Lan Nuo did not spend much effort to collect a batch of junk from the recycling station. Most of these things were thrown into the smelting furnace to be re-refined into various metals, but now he picked out the parts that were still intact and began to process them according to his own design.

Although Old York tried to squeeze the value out of every apprentice, he was not as mean as Zhou Paopi. Lan Nuo could get his salary normally and also borrow various equipment in the workshop.

Old York could see that this extremely talented magic apprentice wanted to build a personal mecha. But he did not try to stop him. A single-soldier mecha involves not only knowledge of magic, but also knowledge of mechanics. The power source of the mecha is a steam engine. Even the top mechanics cannot guarantee that they can build a complete single-soldier mecha by themselves.

Although he was happy to see Lan Nuo wasting his money and provided him with the opportunity to continue exploiting him, the old man still had one thing in mind, which was to secretly memorize the entire production process. In case it was really successful, he could still get the secret recipe.

The sound of ding-dong-dong continued to resound in the workshop. No one complained about disturbing people in the middle of the night, because the underground city itself was noisy enough. The sound of the huge steam machinery running all night long, the sound of hammers hitting and grinding wheels rubbing against each other, seemed too gentle in front of the sound of these huge steam machinery running.

If you can't fall asleep here because of the noise, you will suffer from neurasthenia. You can't survive at all. After busying yourself day after day, Lan Nuo finally achieved results. He didn't leap to use electric motors for energy supply. Electricity is a complete system, which is too early for this steampunk world. At least Lan Nuo can't find a suitable battery. With the current industrial level of this city, Lan Nuo can only produce lead-acid batteries at most, and using this thing to provide energy for mechas is obviously unreliable.

He still uses an internal combustion engine. It is similar to the mechas they made in the earliest days of the Resident Evil world. It relies on a core engine to provide energy, and transmits power through hydraulics and levers to drive the entire body to move.

Because we already have a lot of experience in the design of the mecha frame, this mecha has shown extremely strong performance without any testing. It is even more flexible than an ordinary person wearing nothing. It is no problem to complete difficult movements such as backflips.

As for the mecha, there are also many small equipment specially made by Lan Nuo built inside, which makes it easier for him to shuttle through the complex terrain of the steel jungle. With the help of magic, many problems that are difficult to solve by relying solely on machinery can be solved.

For example, the control system that originally required complex chips and artificial intelligence can now be controlled with the assistance of magic, which is also an important reason why the mecha can perform agile movements such as backflips.

With the help of multiple eyeball-like monitors on the mecha, Lan Nuo can get an almost all-around view while sitting inside. In addition, there are several drones that can be used. Internal combustion engines cannot drive such small machines. These drones, which are only the size of a fingernail, are completely dependent on magic power to drive, but precisely because they are small enough, the consumption of magic power is very low.

The vision provided by the drone can just help the guided weapons launched by the mecha to carry out beyond visual range strikes. The head of the guided rocket is equipped with an eyeball that looks very disturbing. The eyeball can rotate at high speed under the protection of the glass cover, so as to guide through vision, avoid obstacles, lock on to the target, and carry out beyond visual range strikes.

In fact, most of the eyeballs produced by Old York were purchased and used as guidance devices for guided missiles. Among the standard equipment of the Steam Council, there are these strange eyeball-guided missiles, which also greatly increases the resources needed by the Steam Council to train a mecha pilot.

Because they not only have to learn how to control the mecha, but also have to learn how to multitask while controlling the mecha to control the guided rockets they just launched.

If this cannot be done, the rocket will be launched and the mecha pilot must stand still and concentrate on controlling the rocket. In that case, the mecha will become a target.

Lanno's advantage in multitasking is too great. After all, what they like to play with the most is drone swarms. They can accurately control a large number of drones, not to mention a few guided rockets.

When Lan Nuo stood up and put on the mecha he had pieced together from scraps, Old York's eyes almost popped out.

"This thing can actually move. My God King! It's so flexible. You didn't tell me before that you are such a great mechanic. But why? Even if the income of mechanics in the dungeon is generally not very high, if your skills are as good as yours, the income will definitely not be low. Why do you still need to work for me in exchange for magic knowledge? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to the magic school in the upper city?"

Although Old York was envious of the flexible mecha, it seemed that he was really a reliable person as Moore said. Although he was a little greedy, he had his own bottom line and did not think of seizing the fruits of Lanno's labor.

"This is a long story, so let's not talk about it," Lan Nuo jumped out of the mecha and pressed a button. He saw the machine, which was more than a person's height just now, quickly deformed and shrunk, and automatically packed together. It originally looked huge, but after packing it was only the size of a suitcase. After pulling out the trolley, it could be directly pulled away as a suitcase. Its square appearance made it really hard to believe that this was a mecha before it was deformed.

"By the way, do you have anyone who makes fake certificates here? I want to go to the upper city to have a look. If I have the chance, I would like to see the mechas and large crab robots in the army. Maybe I can find some inspiration from their design ideas."

The crab robots in the Steam Council's army are positioned almost the same as tanks. They are huge multi-legged robots that can cope with various complex terrains and can also be equipped with heavy equipment.

Old York sighed. His experiences these days also made him realize that Lan Nuo was not a newbie. He was a capable person. He just didn't know why he came to him under an assumed name. Maybe it was a struggle among the upper class. Or maybe he was the illegitimate child of a big family. But these had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to care, and he didn't dare to care.

"You are a very capable person. I can help you contact someone who can make fake certificates, but I don't understand why you have to run around like this if you have such abilities. You can show your talents directly in the steam industry, and you can live a prosperous life for the rest of your life. Why do you have to come here to suffer?"

Lan Nuo thought about it and felt that some of his plans did not need to be kept secret. So he said, "In addition to getting familiar with the other machines in the army, my main purpose in going to the upper city is to apply to become a light seeker and see the world outside the shield. To find out if there is a piece of land that has not been polluted by magic energy and where we can survive."

After Lan Nuo finished speaking, he saw that Old York's eyes changed, from confusion to awe. After hearing the three words "light seeker", all of Lan Nuo's previous unreasonable behaviors seemed to be explained.
