Chapter 248 First Generation Machine

A few days later, Mingde Hall.

Arthas went out to meet Jing Hongchen and gave him two small portions of the refined blood and flesh essence of the Silver Moon Wolf King, saying that he had refined it using the corpses of silver wolves he had picked up during his retreat. This way it would be easier to absorb. With Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen's current age, their physical functions are at their peak, so the absorption effect will be better. The key is that this amount will not leave any impurities.

Of course, just in case, it is best to do a certain intensity of physical training every day to promote absorption.

Afterwards, he bluntly said that he was willing to give it away because his body had reached its absorption limit. The reason was simple. The concentration of this thing was too high, and he was afraid that if he absorbed too much, it would leave some impurities in his body. After all, it was something extracted from a soul beast.

In addition, the reason why he thought of refining this thing was because he remembered that the hall master asked him to guide the team training.

Physical fitness is one of the basic factors that determine whether a soul master can fight for a long time, so he suggested that the contestants build up their physical fitness first.

This was suggested by the main body, saying that he didn't want the Soul Master Competition to be too boring. Of course, it was also to further eliminate the suspicion of the Sun Moon Empire's high-level officials towards him.

There is no need to train him too well, just show some of his real abilities, he thinks it's feasible.

Jing Hongchen currently trusts him quite a bit. In addition, the Sun-Moon Empire lacks research in the area of ​​physical training. He only needs to make a little effort to exceed the limit of this level, which is enough to gain a lot of goodwill.

"It won't have any impact on the balance of Xiaomeng's martial soul attributes, right?" Jing Hongchen consoled her, then expressed his concern.

"Silver wolves have chaotic attributes, so it's not a big problem." Arthas said calmly, "Besides, what I extracted was not blood, but meat. I extracted the essence of life. You can simply think of it as a high-concentration nutrient that can promote body growth."

"The effect is mainly on the muscles, with little effect on other parts."

"That's good." Jing Hongchen nodded.

Arthas seemed to have thought of something and continued, "Master, as for Junior Sister Meng, I suggest you drink a little at a time so that the muscles can absorb it slowly, increasing the quality rather than the quantity."

"She is a girl after all, and her muscles are too prominent, which somewhat affects her appearance."

"I understand!" Jing Hongchen agreed. If his granddaughter suddenly grew up to be a Barbie doll, how would she find a partner in the future?
"Then I will notify the people from Mingdu Soul Instructor Academy to come over tomorrow?" he continued.

"Yes," said Arthas.

"I will check the body of each student present and make a targeted training plan." He took out a stack of blueprints from the soul guide and handed them to Jing Hongchen. "These are the equipment and venues that will be used. Once they are all ready, let the instructor train them according to the instructions. But remember, do not change the items without authorization. You must know that too much is as bad as too little. Too high an intensity may hurt your body."

"If the intensity is too low, the results will be minimal."

"Don't worry about that!" Jing Hongchen said immediately, "I will remind the team leader of this matter when the time comes."

In terms of medical skills, who in the entire Sun-Moon Empire can compare to Arthas? The targeted physical training plan is definitely the most suitable for the students' current physical conditions. Wouldn't it be looking for trouble to change it randomly?

He will definitely be the first one to disagree!

Arthas nodded and continued, "I will check the training results once a month. I will not make suggestions for the next project until I am satisfied. As for how many projects can be carried out, it depends on how many projects the students can complete before the Soul Master Competition begins."

After talking about the training camp, Jing Hongchen followed up, "Then after you give your instructions tomorrow, I will take you to see Project Zero."

Check once a month, you can't just sit there and wait, this is a good opportunity to participate in the research project.

"Okay." Arthas's face was calm and his words were concise.

So the next morning, Lin Jiayi brought the two teams to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Instructor Academy training ground and notified Arthas to come over.

After Arthas arrived, he didn't say anything nonsense, and didn't want to waste time. He said directly, "Let's line up and start the inspection."

Not surprisingly, all the students lined up obediently.

Not to mention that when Arthas was still at the Soul King level, he could beat all the level 6 soul masters of the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy by himself. Now that he has broken through to the Soul Emperor level, beating them is absolutely like playing. Even Arthas's current status in the Sun Moon Empire does not allow them to be too presumptuous. He is a character who dares to confront the royal elders in court, and the key is that he didn't get hurt afterwards.

It is said that the royal family members now have to take a detour when they see Arthas.

They can't afford it.

Didn’t you see that His Majesty and the Crown Prince’s favorite Princess Tian Zhen were both behaving well?
Arthas took out a paper with detailed training programs from his soul guide and placed it on the table. He stroked the wrists of the students who came up one by one to input their soul power detection, and then pointed out the points where the other party needed targeted training at the moment, while outlining on the paper with a black pen.

During this time, I took the opportunity to explain the principles of the training program mentioned.

Half an hour later, everything was explained and all the students present, including the instructor, were impressed.

"I'll come over in a month to check on the results of the training." Arthas said and left.

Meng Hongchen and Xiao Hongchen didn't even have time to thank Arthas for delivering the potion.

It was not until the person had gone far away that Xiao Hongchen sighed, "It is really vigorous and resolute."

"Has Arthas always been like this?" Xu Tianzhen couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Hongchen nodded slightly and said subconsciously, "A top otaku and a straight man, and a little dumb."

"Of course, the premise is that you don't take the initiative to provoke Arthas. Otherwise, he will definitely make you doubt your life."

Xu Tianzhen was speechless.

"Of course, there's nothing to say about the way Arthas treats his friends," Xiao Hongchen continued.

"Alright." The team leader said at this time, "Since the training ground and equipment are not yet built, let's first carry out basic training according to Arthas's suggestions to adapt to the transition. After the training is over, I will take everyone to the cafeteria."

"Your Majesty attaches great importance to this competition and has instructed the imperial chef to prepare meals that can assist everyone in their training."

"."

In the afternoon, Arthas was taken by Jing Hongchen to the most mysterious Laboratory No. 0 in Mingde Hall.

When you walk in, the first thing that catches your eye is a giant humanoid mecha, and a large number of core magic arrays can be seen just on the surface.

"How about it? What do you think of this work?" Jing Hongchen said with some pride.

"A masterpiece that transcends time." Arthas commented fairly, "However, judging from the situation, it should not be truly completed. Even if it is completed, it cannot be driven. This can be seen from the number of core magic arrays scattered across its surface."

"That's right." Jing Hongchen nodded helplessly, "This is also what worries me now."

"Master, can I go up and take a look?" Arthas asked.

"Of course." Jing Hongchen smiled, "From now on, you are also one of the researchers participating in Project Zero."

"Come on, I'll take you into the operating room and hear your opinion." Arthas nodded, followed Jing Hongchen, climbed the elevator, and soon arrived at the operating room.

After opening it and crawling inside, densely packed exposed switches came into view, which looked extremely complicated at first glance.

"Arthas, your mental power is quite good, why don't you try to see if you can drive it?" Jing Hongchen said as he sat in the passenger seat.

"Okay." Arthas did not refuse and sat directly on the main seat.

Jing Hongchen began to introduce the functions and operating methods.

After listening to this, Arthas took the main control headset beside him and put it on. Then he called upon his mental power without hesitation to activate a large number of core magic arrays connected in series.

After a blink of an eye, the various indicator lights in the operating room started to light up one after another, followed by the outdoor lights.

“It actually started!” The researchers waiting outside were shocked, and then filled with anticipation.

Jing Hongchen, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was also shocked. He had never expected that Arthas could drive so many core arrays by himself and start Unit 0. Not to mention the strength of his mental power, his control was astonishing.

Anticipation rose in his eyes.

However, this anticipation only lasted five seconds, and Arthas took off his hood with a slightly pale face.

"No, although I can connect to most of the magic arrays, the actual power consumption is too high." After all, he is just a clone.

"It's okay. With your current level of cultivation, it's extremely rare to be able to do this." There was no disappointment on Jing Hongchen's face, but instead he smiled.

Soul Emperor can start it, if he breaks through to Titled Douluo, maybe it can be done, at least it gives him hope.

Arthas put the hood back in place and frowned slightly, saying, "Master, forgive me for being blunt, but this soul guide is not something that can be completed in our time. And if we want to truly complete it or even realize mass production, in my opinion, the solution is actually very simple."

"Tell me about it!" Jing Hongchen said immediately.

"The materials have been upgraded, and the craftsmanship of engraving the core magic array has been upgraded." Arthas said, "Master, this soul guide is actually a completed first-generation machine."

"But due to the low energy storage efficiency of energy crystals, we can only accumulate them in quantity. In addition, the core magic array is hand-carved, and the visual accuracy of the human eye is limited after all, so the area covered by the magic array is relatively large."

"And all these are the reasons why this soul guide is designed to be so huge, because it needs enough space to carry a large number of energy crystals and magic arrays."

"So, the solution is very simple, which is to make this soul guide smaller."

"As long as the size is small, the energy required to drive it will naturally be less, and the difficulty of control will also be reduced."

"As for how to make it smaller, by the same logic, we can use energy crystals with higher energy storage efficiency to create a magic array that occupies a smaller area. This is the most important thing and the foundation. As for optimizing the series connection between magic arrays, that is secondary."

"That makes sense!" Jing Hongchen suddenly understood, and then sighed, "But it is extremely difficult to do it."

"That's right!" Arthas nodded. "With the materials we have currently excavated from nature, this is almost impossible to achieve. The only way is to try to create more efficient synthetic materials, and we are currently in a technological gap in this regard. And if we want to break through this technological bottleneck, I'm afraid it will not be accomplished in one or two generations. It may require several generations of exploration and accumulation."

“That’s why I said this is not a work that can really be completed in our time.”

As for what Huo Yuhao made in the original novel, in his opinion it could only be classified as a battle armor, and was far from a real mecha.

Thinking of this, Arthas continued, "Master, my suggestion is to temporarily change the research direction."

Work for me and gain experience!

"Change the research on fully mechanical mechas to research on external battle armor, which is the kind of fighting armor that I developed and covers the surface of the body." He emphasized the words mecha and battle armor so that Jing Hongchen could understand the difference.

"In this way, we can reduce the difficulty of current research and avoid spending too much time on it."

"We can also gradually accumulate experience and advance the research process of mechas step by step."

"Mecha, battle armor" Jing Hongchen chewed on these two words, and after a while, he sighed:

"Arthas, perhaps you are right. Considering the technological level of our time, researching mechas is indeed a step too far."

Arthas shook his head. "The fact that we were able to develop a prototype shows that Mingde Hall is already at the forefront of the times. What we lack now is just accumulation.

"As long as we break down the basic scientific and technological problems one by one and solve them, we will be able to improve them sooner or later."

"It's a pity that I won't be able to see that day." Jing Hongchen sighed.

"Not necessarily." Arthas smiled, "What if someone suddenly solves the problem I mentioned earlier? As the saying goes, times create talents. Throughout history, every era will have people who lead the times."

Jing Hongchen nodded slightly. To be honest, he really hoped that Arthas was this person.

"Come on, I'll take you to meet the other researchers." He changed the subject.

Arthas nodded and followed Jing Hongchen out of the operating room.

After falling, Jing Hongchen solemnly gathered all the researchers and then repeated Arthas' words.

For a moment, everyone was silent. Then a researcher agreed with Arthas's point of view, believing that continuing to spend time on Unit 0 would only waste more time. It would be better to turn to studying Doukai and solve the various problems in manufacturing mecha one by one.

"I think it's feasible. Although Doukai is not as powerful and functional as large humanoid mechas due to its size, it is more flexible. If it can be combined in a combat formation, I think its actual role on the battlefield may not be weaker than that of mechas."

“I think this is a good research topic.”

"I second this!" Many researchers expressed their opinions one after another.

Unit-00 has exhausted them, and many of them are a little fed up with it.

Jing Hongchen finally made the decision, "In that case, the next work goal will be to dismantle the technology of Unit 00. Everyone should sort out the problems that you think need to be studied and solved, and then we can discuss how to overcome the goals together."

"After that, we will continue research and development with Doukai as the direction. The limit is tentatively set at three years. Let's see the results first."

"Yes, Hall Master!"

Arthas joined the technical disassembly work, and while learning, he offered his own opinions and soon became one with the researchers. Of course, he did not forget about copying.

He is full of energy about this.
