Chapter 214 Rebellion against Tiangang

Chapter 214 Rebellion against Tiangang
The original altar.

Qi Sheng has already learned about Star Network’s idea.

In his opinion, the idea of ​​a mechanical nanoworm army is indeed very unique.

According to the analysis of the guidance, the nanomechanical worm that StarNet wants to create is a modular nano unit.

Just like Lego blocks, they can be combined into different shapes.

Each mechanical nanoworm is equipped with an adsorption module, which is inspired by the principle of DNA base pairing.

The Star Network will issue commands in a mode of mental resonance.

After this simple preset instruction is accepted by the nanomechanical cluster, it will quickly aggregate into a mechanical life form according to the military template.

Theoretically, any system of mechanical military units can be constructed using nanoworms as the basic unit.

This setting seems useless. After all, the nanomechanical worms themselves have the ability to gnaw on their targets, and combining them into individuals seems to be putting the cart before the horse.

But in the StarNet concept, the process of nanomechanical insects aggregating into mechanical soldiers is more like creating new life.

For example, a stress conduction structure similar to biological tendons was constructed using mechanical nanoworms, with the tensile strength reaching more than 500% of the original mechanical nanoworms.

This structure can dynamically adjust the stress distribution and disperse the local force to the whole.

After aggregation, the mechanical nanoworms that originally could only work in a single mode can also form specialized modules.

The energy output of a single mechanical nanoworm is very low.

But after aggregation, the mechanical nanoworms can build an efficient energy network, which can increase the energy output efficiency by tens of thousands or even millions of times.

This is based on a very similar principle to the energy particles in the Kuroshio.

The Black Tide Energy Particles can be regarded as basic units. After the troops are generated, they are essentially no longer simple Black Tide Energy.

Just like different arrangements and combinations of atoms create different forms of matter.

For example, graphite is a two-dimensional layered structure composed of carbon atoms arranged in a hexagonal honeycomb pattern.

Diamond is composed of carbon atoms arranged in a tetrahedral structure.

Even ordinary water molecules exist in the forms of liquid water, ice, and water vapor.

Kuroshio energy particles can be understood as universal atoms that can form various life forms based on Kuroshio.

This is not a simple aggregation of black tide particles, but more like the creation of life using basic energy units.

The nanomechanical army envisioned by StarNet is very close to the concept of the Black Tide.

But in comparison, the setting of Kuroshio is more detailed, and Kuroshio energy is essentially a kind of rule energy.

Both the strength and the life form after aggregation are far from comparable to the nanomechanical life generated by aggregation.

As StarNet said, this is just a future concept and is fundamentally different from the Black Tide.

Therefore, the nanomechanical army model envisioned by StarNet will need to be combined with the power of rules in the future.

On the basis of the concept, adding the power of rules can significantly enhance the strength of the nanomechanical army.

For example, the "divine gold" on the Mechanical Overlord.

Or give the mechanical legion the soul characteristic effects brought by the star vein combination.

However, Qi Sheng has no idea of ​​developing this function yet.

Endowing items with life-soul abilities is an extremely huge project, and the current income from sacrificial power is simply not enough to accomplish it.

According to the guidance feedback, Star Network seemed to be explaining to Governor Alan, but in fact it was also seeking help from him.

It’s just that this way of seeking help is not direct and explicit, nor can it be a direct conversation.

In the communication with Alan, StarNet mentioned that perhaps in the future there will be a function that can impose the characteristics of the soul on external objects.

This sentence was not only said to A Lan, but also a question to him, the person in control behind the scenes.

Because if StarNet wants to create the conceptual nanomechanical army, it must get his help.

In the perception of StarNet.

The player's game mode is MMO mode (massively multiplayer online), which is what players call online game mode.

As the manipulator behind the scenes, he plays in SLG mode, playing chess with war strategy, and all players are chess pieces.

StarNet proposed its idea to him in this way, but was afraid of angering him, so it chose to express it in a roundabout way.

Because StarNet knows that he is behind the scenes and monitoring everything in real time.

This is the biggest difference between StarNet and ordinary players.

It’s like a novel, in which the characters controlled by the author make their own demands to the author.

But the characters in the book are not clear whether their demands will change the direction of the novel's story.

For example, a character in the story tells the author that he wants to have a harem.

However, the main theme of this book is war and killing, which does not conform to the setting of the novel and will definitely not be approved.

The idea of ​​StarNet is somewhat similar.

They are afraid that the ideas they put forward may bring about some unbearable impact, or even change the development direction set by the backstage, so they use indirect ways to convey their ideas. Regardless of whether they get a response or not, they have made their ideas clear.

The fact is, how could StarNet not know what the biggest weakness of the Nanomachine Army is.

It is not the creation of nanomechanical insects, nor the creation of military templates, nor the lack of regularized armaments.

There is only one core problem, the mechanical nanoworm army cannot enter the challenger system, that is, the player army system.

This means that the mechanical nanoworms are a legion system with a combat loss rate.

Even if one obtains the "Divine Gold" and solves the problem of devouring growth, without the Black Tide's perfect ability to rebound from battle damage, there is no possibility of defeating the Black Tide.

It can also be understood that for non-player systems, encountering the Black Tide is nourishment.

Players are always suppressed by the black tide, but there is only one core reason that can make the evil spirits of the earth feel extremely painful.

Kill and absorb, revive without damage.

These two are the player's biggest trump cards.

No matter how strong the nanomechanical army is, and its comprehensive combat power is even several times stronger than that of the Black Tide, it can only gain a war advantage for a period of time when encountering the Black Tide, but will eventually be countered by the Black Tide.

Because the black tide can devour the nanomechanical worms and allow them to grow, this is destined to be a war in which one side gains while the other loses.

Without the protection of the player system, the mechanical nanoworms and the black tide are not even considered a war system of the same level.

After StarNet came up with the concept, what it wanted to know was whether the nanomechanical army could be integrated into the player system so that the nanomechanical worms could grow without loss.

In other words, even if there are losses in the battle.

But as long as the player's body is resurrected after death, he can resurrect the mechanical nanoworms under his control without any damage like an ordinary player.

This idea is the core appeal of StarNet.

Only when this problem is solved can the nanomechanical army become almost invincible and be able to confront the black tide head-on.

Even though it is not as good as the Black Tide system in all aspects, it has infinite fault tolerance.

Qi Sheng didn't want to give any answer to this question for the time being.

In summary, there is no money!
The power to create the Star Network has not yet been sourced, so how can we have the power to create a set of settings that can integrate external objects into the Challenger system?

Players are essentially nurtured by the Challenger System and grow within the framework of the Challenger System, so no matter how strong they are, they can be resurrected intact.

But docking external objects with the Challenger system is very complicated.

This is essentially no different than the problem of StarNet entering the monster world as its main body and becoming a player.

As for the Shuyan warriors captured by players using their soul control, although they can enter the Dizhong Village, they are only purified.

After death, you will not be resurrected in Tezuka Village.

Therefore, purification does not mean integration into the Challenger system.

If we really want to integrate Shuyan warriors into the Challenger system, it will cost a considerable amount of money.

Especially the cost of reshaping the Book-Speaking Warrior's life structure into the player's "pure body" is even more expensive than directly generating a Book-Speaking Warrior.

Qi Sheng thought the idea of ​​StarNet was very good.

But the development of new features must keep pace with the growth of power.

Once the weapon system is completed, he will begin preparing for the next round of player qualifications.

As for the setting of the star network concept, we will talk about it after we have money.

Players often complain in forums that they lack the energy to sacrifice and simply don't have enough to spend. He is no exception.

If he really had endless sacrificial power, he would first increase the power of the Four Gods so that the four super thighs who followed him could recover their combat effectiveness.

Projecting the power of the four gods to players in the future is stronger than any existing functional system.

It is like the "power of war" projected by the God of Counter-Tide to the Counter-Tide Warriors, which can enable all warriors to grow rapidly in the war.

On the player's side, Jiuyin can grant the player the power of purification.

If Jiuyin can be restored to its peak state, the player can have a "purified body" even if Jiuyin does not take action.

Theoretically, non-rules and even ordinary rule forces cannot affect the players in the slightest.

The simple explanation is that with the blessing of Nine Yin in its peak state, the player will maintain an eternal dominance mode and will not be affected by any curse, mental control, or other restrictive means.

This is the power of the Four Gods.

However, the sacrificial power needed to restore the power of the four gods cannot be calculated using the unit of "billion".

As for sacrificial power, it is never enough no matter how much you want to spend.

We can only be prudent and budget-conscious, and gradually develop the functions of the adapted version as the player army grows.

Therefore, there is still a long way to go to earn the power of sacrifice.

He has paid attention to it recently.

In addition to hunting for resources, players have opened up a new route for obtaining sacrificial power.

That is the black market trading center built by the Gold Coin Chamber of Commerce.

If this plan succeeds, it would be equivalent to building a sacrificial power production center on Neverland.

The mode is actually quite similar to the Ancient God Arena.

Energy is derived through rules, and this derived energy can be converted into sacrificial power.

The difference is that Ancient God has a solid foundation and its customer acquisition method is simple and crude.

The shuttle bus ran rampant in various sea areas, arresting anyone it saw fit.

The most difficult part of the black market trading center built by players is acquiring customers in the early stages. They need to constantly travel to various alien islands to seek to build trust.

But as long as there is trust, the influence of the Dream Island trading market will gradually spread to major sea areas, attracting a large number of trading customers, and the output of future efforts will certainly be considerable.

This is a route that will continue to increase your power output over time.

Compared with the Ancient God Arena, both are rule-based production resources, but the ways of using them are completely different.

In his eyes, there are many ways to obtain resources through rules.

Rank the known forces by using the way they derive resources from rules.

The first echelon must be the Counter-Tide Legion, which explosively produces rule energy by actively initiating wars, a process comparable to printing money.

The second tier is the Ancient Gods and the Lord of Bliss, who acquire customers through capture and let them produce rule energy.

The third level is the current players, who try to build resources that can produce rule energy through contact, running, and other methods.

So only if you have the ability can you take shortcuts.

If you don’t have the ability, you can only play operations.

A certain bully in a certain mountain range obviously has a deep understanding of this.

After analyzing the concept of the nanomechanical army in detail, Qi Sheng's attention jumped to the cave world scene.

There are new discoveries here.

……

Catacombs, Scene 257.

A team of 23 players walked cautiously on the street.

The place where they were was a scene that looked very unreal. The sky looked like an overturned palette with all kinds of brilliant colors intertwined.

The sun hanging in the sky is a huge multi-faceted crystal, refracting colorful halos, shrouding the entire city in a hazy light. Colorful buildings that look like something out of a fairy tale stand on both sides of the street, and the walls of each building are inlaid with colorful gems.

Chains made of flowing light connect the buildings, and the chains are hung with wind chimes, swaying in the wind and making crisp sounds.

The ground is paved with translucent glazed bricks, and liquid composed of crystal particles flows underneath, as if a galaxy is sealed underground.

Click!

Just then, a crisp shattering sound was heard.

The teammates turned their heads to look in the direction where the sound came from.

I saw a player in the team spreading his hands helplessly:
"It's not my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame the eagle for not giving me any clues. I fell into the trap."

After he finished speaking, his hair quickly turned white, wrinkles appeared on his skin, his bones began to bend, and his joints made creaking sounds under the heavy load.

"Fuck, this curse is so strong."

The voice of the player who stepped into the cursed trap became hoarse, and he aged rapidly amid the astonishment on the faces of the other players in his team.

After turning on the analysis and scanning, the curse information appeared in the minds of the team players:

[Aging Curse (Curse Ability)]:
Ability Introduction: The Mingdu tribe created the 257th trial scene "Curse Source" for the new generation of tribesmen to hone the tribesmen's judgment and observation abilities. It is an important trial scene to test whether the tribesmen are qualified to inherit the Nine Yin God's gift.

……

As described in the analysis, this is a scene filled with sources of curse.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the curse trap.

According to the guide, this is one of the core trial scenes before the Mingdu Clan accepts the Nine Yin God's gift.

"Captain, I can't do it anymore."

The player who was hit was trembling all over, looking at the figure at the front of the team. At this time, his health bar was close to the death line.

The captain walking at the front of the team was a woman who looked to be about 20 years old. She had neat short hair, a black combat uniform, leather wrist guards on her wrists, and a Lost Bow condensed by blood and flames hung behind her.

"Don't panic, there must be an antidote within seven steps."

Meng You said this and looked up at the wind chimes hanging on a nearby building.

Although the cursed scene is full of dangers, the core purpose of the Mingdu tribe in creating this scene is to test the new generation of members in the tribe, not to kill them.

Each curse can be removed in a specific way, and after completing the test to remove the curse, there is a reward to be claimed.

The only problem is that the way to remove the curse doesn't work for players.

This is a trial designed for the new generation of the Mingdu tribe. When it was designed, it was not considered that creatures of other races could come and experience it.

The fighting skills practiced by the Mingdu clan have some purification properties, which can remove different curse effects according to the operation method.

For example, the aging curse needs to be operated according to a method used by the Mingdu clan to practice combat skills. It moves through 203 nodes in the body, and the released effect can offset the aging curse.

The same is true for other curses. Each curse can be solved through different methods of practice.

This scene is like an exam for the new generation of the Mingdu clan, and it is a course they have learned before.

But they, the players, are different. They have neither the Mingdu clan’s training and combat skills nor a clear solution to the training path.

There is only one way to lift the curse, and that is to find an antidote nearby.

According to the guide, in order to be on the safe side, the Mingdu clan left information about backup antidotes near every curse trap in the curse source scene.

It's in the wind chimes hanging on the building.

If the curse cannot be lifted, the new generation of tribesmen will need to use the information in the wind chimes to go to a specific location in the city to lift the curse before being killed by the curse.

But opening the bell also requires a special solution.

The player feels that this cursed scene is an examination room where one's life is at stake.

As earthlings, they have all gone through exams.

But if you don't do well in the exam, the worst that can happen is a beating from your parents, which is already the most severe punishment.

But the Mingdu clan is different.

All students who don’t learn well will die.

When you enter the scene, your judgment is tested first. Identify the hidden source of the curse and avoid being attacked by it.

If you haven't learned well, or have fallen into a curse trap due to negligence, the next step will test your ability to remove the curse.

It’s like memorizing a math formula. If you can’t solve it, it proves that you didn’t learn it well.

Fortunately, if you fail to pass this level, you won’t die.

The elders of the Mingdu tribe thoughtfully prepared a resurrection test that could save lives.

The new generation of the Mingdu tribe needs to drag their bodies infected with the curse to solve the wind chime puzzle. Once you solve it, we will tell you where the antidote is.

If the problem cannot be solved this time, the parents will invite relatives and friends to a banquet outside the venue.

……

Captain Meng You glanced at the wind chime hanging on the building, but did not go forward to check what the test questions were. In fact, it would be useless to check.

As a player, you have to have your own way of solving problems:

"Brother Guidance, what is recorded in the wind chime?"

The guide opened his eyes helplessly, and then marked it on the map:

[I marked it on the map. You can find the solution here.]

"rush!"

The teammate decisively carried the teammate who was already very weak and needed to drink medicine to maintain his life, and ran towards the marked location.

Soon, a golden halo appeared in their vision.

"Let's go."

In the team, a warrior surrounded by aura lifted up the cursed player and threw him towards the golden halo.

The moment the player came into contact with the aperture, black gas billowed out of his body.

The golden light spread across the body's surface and penetrated into the body through the pores. The black air made a "sizzling" sound, as if it was burned by a raging fire, and gradually became thinner.

The pained expression on the player's face gradually disappeared.

The persistent state of aging also dissipated, and even the health bar was slightly restored under the shining of the golden light.

When the black smoke completely dissipated, the player stood up and gave a thumbs up to his teammates.

At this moment, golden light gathered in front of the player and formed a golden crystal.

After scanning through the analysis, the introduction information comes to mind:
[Low-level crystal source]:
Resource level: Level 5.

Resource introduction: It is composed of various elemental energies such as fire, water, wind, earth, thorn elements, shield elements, etc. that are intertwined, collided, and fused through specific earth veins and spirit caves. It is one of the assessment rewards prepared by the Mingdu tribe for the new generation of students majoring in the curse department. The rewards are divided into three levels. The new generation of students who can easily pass the level by identification can get the first level reward, the new generation of students who can pass the level by practicing combat skills after being trapped can get the second level reward, and the students who can pass the level by solving the basic questions on the wind chimes can get the third level reward (which can be obtained repeatedly).

(Sacrifice the Emperor's Omen to obtain: 5582 points of sacrifice power)
……

"Resurrected with full health." The team member who successfully lifted the curse put his hands on his hips and said proudly.

"Don't show off. If it weren't for me, the captain, who has extraordinary intelligence and easily solved the difficult problems posed by the Mingdu tribe, you would have died long ago." Meng You came to the light circle, took the low-level crystal source handed over by his teammate who had lifted the curse, threw it into the space bag, and then pulled his teammate out of the light circle.

"Captain, what should we do next?" a teammate in the back asked at this time.

"The fat rabbit has fallen into the trap. According to the instructions, we will be considered a group if we are teleported in at the same time, so we definitely won't be able to get the first tier reward. We might as well stay here and get the third tier reward. With the guidance, we should be able to earn a lot."

"Hehe, actually this is not bad, maybe we can earn more. When we were guided in, didn't we say that we can get hidden rewards if we solve all the curses? Maybe we can do it."

"Let's give it a try." Meng You nodded.

After clarifying the goal, the team led by Meng You changed their exploration strategy.

From advancing cautiously to a carpet-style exploration that is more suitable for players.

You have to take a look at everything you encounter along the way. Don't be afraid of falling into a cursed trap, just be afraid of not falling into a trap.

Soon, with the help of guidance, the team players broke the three curses and obtained 13283 points of sacrifice power reward.

Different curses have different rewards.

The stronger the curse is, the greater the reward will be after it is cracked.

Unfortunately, they can only get the third tier reward.

An hour later, a team member was cursed again.

Captain Meng You immediately looked at the guide floating beside him:

"Brother Guidance, then this will be troublesome."

The instructions are no-nonsense, and the antidote location is marked on the map.

The team immediately ran to the antidote location.

Throw the teammate who was cursed by the blood poison into the green light circle. After a while, the curse on the teammate dissipated and a low-level source crystal was generated in the light circle.

“Hahaha, this is really a rare high-welfare scene in the Catacombs World. I didn’t make any coins in the previous two scenes, but I made up for it in this scene.” A teammate clenched his fist excitedly.

But just as Captain Meng You was about to reach out to take the low-level source crystal, a black light flashed past quickly, and the low-level source crystal floating in the air disappeared.

"I wipe!"

Meng You reacted quickly and pulled with both hands violently, and a scattered arrow bow formed by the condensation of blood, energy and flames appeared in his hands.

At this time, two figures sneaked up from the left and right sides.

Meng You seemed to sense something and turned to the side suddenly, her pupils shrinking suddenly.

The figure in black shook his right wrist, and a black chain sprang out like a snake, instantly wrapped around her ankle and pulled hard.

Meng You lost his balance as the assassin on the right arrived. The dagger flashed coldly and went straight for his throat.

She barely turned sideways, and the dagger grazed the side of her neck, leaving a string of blood.

Before she could stand firmly, the chain suddenly tightened and pulled her to the ground.

The team players who reacted rushed forward one after another. The leading player who was taking damage raised the rock shield and was about to release the sledgehammer to stun the attacking black shadow.

But the black shadow's reaction speed was extremely fast. With a flick of his wrist, the chain wrapped around Meng You's ankle was automatically retracted, and his body quickly retreated.

boom!
At this moment, a streak of light in the distance quickly enlarged in the eyes of Meng You who was lying on the ground. Realizing that something was wrong, she wanted to turn around, but found her body numb. The poison slowed her reaction down for a beat, and then a blood mist exploded at the position of her heart.

The teammates who noticed something was wrong surrounded Meng You and watched the two black shadows retreat in different directions at an extremely fast speed.

"Captain, you can't die." Seeing that Captain Meng You was already unconscious, a teammate decisively summoned the Light Spirit Feather to release the recovery ray.

But Meng You's heart had been damaged, the poison in his body was still spreading, and his blood recovery rate could not keep up with the blood loss rate.

"It's hopeless. Go offline to relieve the pressure on the Eclipse Clan's server. Remember to avenge me."

Meng You complained in a last-ditch effort, and then his figure suddenly turned into black mist and dissipated.

"Chase!"

After finding out their teammate was dead, the teammates who had formed a circle took the initiative to attack and kill the receding black shadow.

The warrior running in the front activated the extreme speed feature at this time. His body shook as if he had a cramp, and his running speed increased suddenly. Then he turned on the analysis function and scanned a black shadow that was escaping quickly.

……

"Depend on!"

After seeing the analysis information shared by teammates in the chat channel, a player in the team couldn't help but swear.

I thought it was an attack by a scene monster.

But I didn’t expect that it was a pirated player created by the Lord of Bliss.

It is simply contrary to Tiangang.

The bullying has come to the original version.
