Chapter 610: The Crystal Tree

Whatever is done, intelligence information is crucial.

When stealing the magic puppet in the warehouse, it would be embarrassing if someone happened to enter the warehouse and wanted to access the items, so Xiaobai split a large number of reconnaissance-type invisible clones for early warning before starting the operation.

Each of these clones is a miniature Phantom Slime, the size of a normal cicada, and possesses a powerful stealth ability inherited from the Phantom Jellyfish. Neither light nor smell, nor heat source sensing, nor energy fluctuation scanning, can detect them, but can only be detected by direct touch.

Such a phantom little slime, Xiao Bai has split more than 50,000 of them, and scattered them to every inconspicuous corner of the underground big hollow city, closely monitoring all the movements of the entire city.

Whenever someone is found to be approaching the warehouse, Xiaobai will stop the operation in that warehouse in advance, which greatly reduces the probability of being discovered. Not only that, but it will also put some of the magic puppets that have been completely subdued back one by one, and switch places with the original camouflage sculpture again.

Through analysis, Jiang Yan discovered that the control system center of these magic puppets is a semi-metalized special biological brain, and its material is also made of that special active metal, even if it is destroyed, it has the ability to repair itself, and it is also hidden in the core part of the puppet's body.

These metal creature brains have a certain intelligence, can perfectly execute many orders that are not too complicated, and are especially good at combat response, even if the superiors do not specifically command them, they can carry out automated operations.

However, their intelligence is much worse than the data-based intelligent brain transformed by Jiang Yan's ability, as long as the outer defense force field is broken, the data-based intelligent brains under Jiang Yan's command can easily invade the inside of this metal biological brain, and then it will not take thirty seconds at most, and the data-based intelligent brains can crack the simple intelligence inside the metal biological brain and completely seize its control.

For the Wisdom Brains, this process is much easier than letting them compete for the somatic authority of the demonic plant!

Of course, although it seems so easy, but this is also in the dormant state of the magic puppet, and the energy inside the magic puppet in the combat state after being activated will spontaneously form a defensive force field, and it is more difficult for the brains to invade directly with this defensive force field.

The metal creature brain is the control center of the magic puppets, and after this thing is usurped by the data-based brains, it will no longer be able to make waves. Influenced by Jiang Yan's "data ability", the interference of the intelligent brains in matters such as 'information, information materials, and data' is basically an innate instinctive talent, and the intelligence inside the metal biological brain is essentially an intelligent program, which also belongs to the category of information materials, so it is almost effortless for the intelligent brains to crack it.

I'm afraid that when the magic guide civilization first designed this kind of magic puppet, it didn't think that it would be directly bypassed the defense force field and invaded by this kind of data-based strange creature like this "wisdom brain".

After the control was taken away, the wise brains also had the ability to modify it, so they directly rewrote the highest priority allegiance of these captured magic puppets into allegiance to Jiang Yan, and left a level 0 intelligence brain resident in the metal creature brain of each magic puppet, so that these magic puppets were all completely under the command of Jiang Yan's submachine network.

Then, the wise brains quietly put these magic puppets that were already considered 'defected camps' back into the warehouse through Xiaobai's operation.

Note that after the Zhi Brain cracked the intelligent control authority of the magic puppets, although their highest priority allegiance target was rewritten to Jiang Yan, they did not directly delete the permission of their original owner, but retained it, but the priority of the other party's authority was changed by Zhi Brain, and it was directly lowered by two levels.

As a result, the allegiance objects of the intelligence center of the magic puppet have become three, and Jiang Yan is in the highest priority order, followed by the intelligent brains in the network of the sub-machines under Jiang Yan, and finally the magic civilization that they are loyal to at the beginning.

For the wizard golems who have been modified by the brains, the orders issued by the wizard civilization at the third level will only be valid if they do not conflict with the orders issued by the first and second priority levels.

The reason for this is to try not to startle the snake. Let the wise brains modify the permissions and then put the magic puppets back, after that, even if the magic guide civilization suddenly wants to activate them, the possibility that Jiang Yan's side will be exposed is very small.

With Xiaobai's current ability, on the premise of ensuring secrecy, the number of magic puppets (dormant) it can capture at one time is about a hundred, and then suppress the resistance of the awakened magic puppets and let the Zhi Brain invade them, rewrite their permissions, and finally transfer them back to the warehouse, this round of process adds up to an average of about two to three minutes for each batch of puppets.

In order to be cautious, Xiaobai will only do anything to more magic puppets after a round of one hundred magic puppets are rewritten and replaced, so unless the luck is really poor and it happens to meet this one in a thousand probability, it is almost impossible to be discovered.

A total of 100,000 magic puppets in the warehouse, if the operation has been smooth, it will take about forty hours, that is, nearly two days to complete all the subduing processes in this way.

The total number of magic puppets in the big underground cavern is also around 200,000, and after snatching half of the control of them, Jiang Yan will be much easier when he faces the other half controlled by the magic guide civilization outside.

......

Although samples of active metals can be obtained from the magic puppet, the manufacturing technology of the relevant materials that should be found must be found, otherwise the manufacturing process may not be able to be cracked based on the research and analysis of the samples alone.

There is no information about this in the captured Wizard Golem's control center, the 'Metal Creature Brain', and the production plants of these Wizard Golems are all automated engineering puppets, so there are no workers who can torture information.

By tracking down the manufacturing lines of the magic puppets in various factories, the brains discovered that this "active metal" was not produced by the factories in the city. The factories in the city are only responsible for smelting the raw metal ore brought back from the mines outside the city, obtaining refined ore, processing it into various standard parts, and then assembling the parts into a complete magic golem.

But note that at this time, the magic puppet is just a very ordinary shell puppet, and there are no 'metal creature brains' and 'magic power furnaces', and the material metal is only in an ordinary form, and it does not have the active function of magical automatic repair.

After that, these shell puppets will be transported to a unified location by the carrier vehicle, and then transported back after a while, at this time, the magic puppet has changed, and the material of the whole body has been transformed into a special active metal, and the metal biological brain and power furnace are installed, which can be activated and put into combat at any time.

During this period, the only place that the magic puppet went to after being carried by the carrier was the location of the huge giant tree in the center of the great underground cavern!

Xiaobai's Phantom Little Slime doppelganger detected that the magic puppets that were transported to the giant tree were all sent into the body of the giant tree along a large hole worthy of a tunnel under the giant tree, and when they came out, they had already completed the transformation.

After Jiang Yan learned this information, he had a conjecture - I am afraid that the manufacturing principle of reactive metals has a lot to do with this huge and exaggerated giant tree.

When he was still in the rock and soil layer before, Jiang Yan found that the roots of this giant tree seemed to have some kind of infection ability to the surrounding rock and soil, and the rock and soil infected by it seemed to have some kind of activity like biological tissue.

Thinking about it again, the magic puppet also made its own metal material gain active function after entering its body......

Now it seems that in order to obtain the technology of active metals, he will go to the giant tree to investigate.

Jiang Yan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, because the giant tree gave him a sense of threat that was no less than that of the demonic mushroom monster.

Moreover, all parts of the underground hollow city have been almost explored by Xiaobai's phantom slimes, except for all kinds of cold puppets, Xiaobai has not found any intelligent lifeforms that are suspected to be the remnants of the magic civilization.

So where will the other party be?

Regarding the race of the Demon Guiding Civilization, Jiang Yan still knows some records, and the other party's race is called the 'Demon Energy Clan', which is definitely not a mechanical life like a puppet. Therefore, excluding the inside of the city, and then excluding the mines outside the city, the most likely place for the remaining demonic clan to exist is the central giant tree.

The true face of the central giant tree, in fact, does not need to be guessed, it can have such a huge size, there is such a rich amount of magic energy particle energy circulating inside, and it also has the strength to make Jiang Yan feel the threat.

The only thing Jiang Yan could think of was the iconic biological weapon of the Demon Energy Clan, that is, the 'Demon Mother Tree'!

According to the records, even if a demonized mother tree is only at the seedling stage, it has second-level strength, with a body size of at least more than fifty meters, while a mature demonized mother tree generally has a strength that can rival the third-level legendary realm masters, and its body size has generally reached a scale of hundreds of meters.

Back then, in addition to acting as an 'environmental modification machine' for the Demon Clan, this thing also served as a large-scale siege creature weapon. Although the Demon Mother Tree is far less flexible than a normal Legendary Realm master of a level of strength when it comes to action, this plant-based giant higher creature also has advantages that normal Legendary Masters do not have, such as the Giant Demonized Mushroom Monster in Niderlais.

Superior vitality and regeneration, unparalleled energy reserves and resilience, and massive power output from crushing-level body size......

If you only fight positional battles, the Demon Mother Tree is very difficult to deal with.

If the normal demonic mother tree does not count the root parts that take root underground, the body size with the main trunk as the main body is about a few hundred meters, and only a very few with particularly excellent development can reach nearly a thousand meters...... And the giant demonized mother tree in front of Jiang Yan, which seemed to be a pillar of a big hollow underground, was three thousand meters tall in the main body!

Calculating the time, Jiang Yan suspected that this demonized mother tree was most likely an ancient variety that had been cultivated and formed before the defeat of the Demon Energy Clan, and it didn't seem strange that it could grow to this extent after thousands of years of growth.

Putting the matter of active metals off for the time being, Jiang Yan turned his attention to another target, the 'Interference Force Field' generating device.

Fortunately, after Jiang Yan's perception and identification, the source of the 'Interference Force Field' was not on the side of the Demon Mother Tree in the center of the city, but outside the city.

It was a bizarre tree-shaped plant that looked like it was made of translucent crystal, with straight branches and disc-shaped leaves that resembled radar receivers.

This strange crystal tree grows directly on the inner wall of the big hollow rock, deeply rooted in the rock wall, each tree is up to 100 meters, and the translucent crystal-colored branches and needles quietly flow with a rich and substantial dark red magic energy particle energy like a liquid, and each wisp of flowing magic energy is as clear as the vein lines of the crystal tree.

Through the scanning of the ability, Jiang Yan found that the disc-shaped crystal leaves on the branches of these crystal trees were like signal transmitters, which would absorb the magic energy provided by the branches and transform them into a specific signal fluctuation that was so weak that ordinary people could hardly detect it, and spread out.

And that kind of signal fluctuation is the kind of invisible force field that Jiang Yan feels that can greatly interfere with his perception.

"Isn't it a mechanical creation, but a plant......" Looking at those hundred-meter-tall crystal trees on the rock wall, Jiang Yan felt a little embarrassed.

Generating a jamming signal force field seems to be the special ability of this crystal tree, not some kind of technological device, if the object is a normal creature, Jiang Yan can directly copy its ability with an ability, but instead, this thing is a plant!

Jiang Yan tried it and found that his current ability really couldn't connect to the "spirit" of this crystal tree.

Jiang Yan wanted to move the crystal trees back directly and study them slowly, but there were at least dozens of falcon-type magic puppets hovering in the air around each of these crystal trees, and dozens of arachnid magic puppets were also climbing on the nearby rock walls.

Together, there were hundreds of these golems standing guard beside the crystal tree, scanning everything around them coldly with their orange-red glowing electronic eyes.

Jiang Yan was sure that if he dared to do anything to these crystal trees, it would most likely cause the vigilance of these magic puppets. When these puppets are in a combat state, they basically maintain a communication connection with other puppets, and arousing the vigilance of any one of them may implicate the attention of more puppets.
