Volume 4 Chapter 53 The Fusion Is Complete
Even though Shi Leiyin deliberately delayed his progress and expanded the scope of his search for the Dhaka Hive, he still arrived at the junction of the second and third layers of the Stone Forest Secret Outer Circle two days later.
On the way, Shi Leiyin once again wiped out three Dhaka hives. Just like the first hive, although these three hives have been rooted for a long time, they are still only defended by floating insects and butterfly head insects with a large number of bladed insects. Even because Shi Leiyin deliberately delayed the movement speed, most of the bladed insects in these hives died in the process of besieging the moving Shi Leiyin, and they were not able to cooperate with the floating insects near the hive, which caused Shi Leiyin to deal with these butterfly head insects that had found a suitable location to be stationed, which was not even as difficult as the first hive.
What is worthy of Shi Leiyin's joy is that when he eliminated the last hive, Shi Leiyin inadvertently intercepted part of the composition of the hive. Perhaps it's because this inadvertently intercepted part happens to be a key to the hive's recovery. After being truncated by Shi Leiyin, this part of the hive composition did not instantly weathered into ashes, giving Shi Leiyin enough time to devour and fuse.
It's just that, like those high-level creatures, although it is difficult to judge the level of the Dhaka hive in terms of energy, the genes in it have an extremely high encryption. Even though Shi Leiyin's devouring fusion ability is almost at the level of the heaven-defying level, the speed at which he can crack the fusion is still unimaginably slow.
After spending an entire day without any useful information, Shrayin decided to temporarily abandon the genes that fused Dhaka's lair. Instead, focus on cracking the core part of the body.
Over time, Shrayin has mastered most of the structure of the mechanical body, including the power system and the control of the limbs, as well as a part of the nervous system that can be replaced—although the mechanical species was created as a more mechanical being, it still retains a large number of nervous systems, allowing the implanted Axes to command the mechanical body as if it were their own physical body. And after figuring out the structure and principle, Shi Leiyin, a large number of nerve conduction systems, directly replaced them with his own slime body.
The slime's body may not be as tough as the conduction system made of these special metals, but it is self-repairing and will never fail due to external stress.
And with the slime body replacing the warp system, and replacing the core system to manipulate the body of the mechanism. Shi Leiyin no longer wraps a layer of body on the outside of the body.
The metal that makes up the body shell of the species is a finite memory-type metal that is capable of self-healing from distortions caused by external forces. Underneath the enclosure is a layer of nano-repair machines to repair tears or missing breaks. The combination of the two allows the body to repair itself when it is damaged to a certain extent.
This self-healing ability, combined with Shi Leiyin's ability to completely analyze the composition of this memory metal, and be able to produce this metal faster than the nano repair robot, although the recovery speed is still not as good as the terrifying recovery power of Shi Leiyin's body, it is already close to the recovery speed of ordinary demon king-level monsters.
For nanobots, because they are too small, although Shi Leiyin has the means to destroy them, he has no way to devour and fuse them for the time being. After all, the other party is smaller than its smallest unit of cell, and the dissolved solution does not reach the atomic level that can break it down. However, Shi Leiyin had a hunch that when his strength took another big step forward and stepped into the strength of a super-level creature, he might be able to have the ability to carry out devouring fusion at the atomic or molecular level.
At present, the only body that Shi Leiyin still has left outside the mechanism is four chainsaws, two plasma cannons, and two back electromagnetic cannons. Shi Leiyin opened holes in the body of the mechanism and reconstructed it externally with the same metal shell structure as the mechanism type, making these exposed body parts look more like the external weapons of the mechanism type.
As for the main part of Shi Leiyin's body, it is divided into two parts. Part of it wraps around the core control system, which is a sophisticated photonic computer. Although it is not a product of nanoscale technology, it is still difficult for Shi Leiyin to replicate it, and the best choice is to use it directly. The advantage is that when Shi Leiyin changes into a body morphology, the light brain can assist Shi Leiyin to manipulate and coordinate various parts of the body and process the computational pressure caused by a large amount of information. The disadvantage is that it will cause Shi Leiyin's body to have obvious weaknesses, and the photonic computer cannot be disassembled and hidden, and it is easy to observe when Shi Leiyin returns to its original form. At the same time, due to the connection between Shi Leiyin and the photonic computer, once the photon computer is attacked and destroyed, it will also affect Shi Leiyin's nervous system in a short time, according to the estimate, if the photon computer is destroyed, Shi Leiyin's thinking will be stagnant for a few seconds or even a minute. Although it is not a long time, it is enough to pose a life-threatening threat to Shi Leiyin for an enemy who can damage Shi Leiyin and destroy the photonic computer.
However, under the balance of risks and benefits, Shi Leiyin decided to keep the photon computer. In his own words, laziness also comes at a cost - Shi Leiyin is still more willing to take a little risk than to spend his own thinking and calculation.
The other part of Shi Leiyin's body is wrapped around three power furnaces. Although Shi Leiyin has thoroughly analyzed and copied the power system, there is no way to replace the power furnace. This can be regarded as an oversight on the part of Shi Leiyin. Once a nuclear power furnace is started, even if it is shut down, the nuclear reaction does not stop completely. Once the power furnace shell is replaced, the nuclear reaction in it will be intensified, which will lead to a nuclear fusion explosion. After dozens of simulations to get the same result, Shi Leiyin had to give up the idea of replacing the nuclear power furnace.
Fortunately, the photon computer also needs to be preserved anyway, and there is not much difference between one weakness and three weaknesses, and Shi Leiyin simply retains the other two power furnaces. And treat this body as a temporary body shell, and discard it all after it is damaged. Anyway, the main composition information has been obtained, and in the future, as long as the energy is sufficient, it can be reconstituted according to the needs of one, or the kind that does not require power and core controls.
This decision was also partly due to the need to disguise themselves as lone Akers. God knows if the intelligent Dhaka creatures will have any ability to quickly parasitize the Axes. In the event that the body is eroded and infestation, it is much easier and quicker to abandon the body of the current body than the body made of one's own body.
