Chapter 140: Steel Bolt
Yi Hui's idea was to create a metal body for Hindgar out of dwarven steel, so that Hindgar could exist in the world as a mechanical creature.
But this idea was immediately rejected by Hindgar, who shook his only skull head and said in an unquestioning tone: "No, no, no, my master, of course your idea is good, but metal and the like can't be attached to soul energy, and I can't control that kind of body to move freely, and I can only become a complete 'dead thing' with metal to make a body for me, an undead creature." ”
"Then hang a layer of metal armor on the surface of the skeleton!" Yi Hui still didn't give up, according to his idea, even the image of Hindgar after being recast by metal has been conceived, this image is the metal skeleton form of the majestic robot T800 in the movie "Terminator", when Yi Hui watched this movie, he was shocked by the metal skeleton-like T800.
"The hot iron slurry will make my skeleton body change, and the bones of the surname transformation will not be able to properly guide the release of soul energy, do you want me to transform from a skeleton mage into a low-level half-metal skeleton warrior who can only use brute force? And in case of rust, it's also a very troublesome thing, my master, you just let me go. Hindgar categorically rejected Yi Hui's idea.
"What's so difficult about this, just get two bodies for you to use. Anyway, with the Soul Guiding Lamp, it's not difficult for you to change your body activity. Yi Hui still insisted on his opinion, "And, as far as I know, there is no rust problem at all in the smelting process of dwarven steel due to the incorporation of certain minerals. ”
"Well, well, since you insist." Hinder had no choice but to accept Yi Hui's idea.
When he came to the cave where he found Sindegar before, Yi Hui used the excuse to support the dwarf miners who were working around the mining capital, in order to find Sindegar's body in complete secrecy.
The fit between the soul and body of an undead creature directly affects its strength and development potential after transformation, so it is better to find Hindgar's own body.
Previously, Yi Hui was in a hurry to avoid the siege of a large number of skeleton servants summoned by Sindegar and only took Sindega's head out of the mine, because the mine was deep, and the gnomes only explored this depth and did not mine here, so Sindegar's body should stay in place.
Successfully found the location of Sindegar's body, Yi Hui found that the skeleton servants around him had also extinguished the already dull soul fire because of the loss of Sindegar's control and the guidance of soul energy.
Taking out the skull of Syndegar, which was burning with a raging soul flame, Yi Hui carefully placed it on the cervical vertebrae of the torso of Syndegar, who was crushed by rocks.
As the skull was replaced, the dark blue soul flame slowly burned down Hindgar's torso, and the bones that had been burned by the soul fire gradually turned from dull dark gray to smooth and warm ivory white. And under the guidance of Hindgar, wisps of milky white bone powder in the form of milky white smoke flew from the recent skeleton servants who had completely disappeared, and these white bone powders flew towards Hindgar, and before they were attached to Hindgar, the damage to the bones was slowly repaired due to the damage caused by the boulder smashing and Yi Hui's cutting, and those cracks healed at a speed visible to the naked eye as the white bone powder fused.
As the fourth skeleton was unable to support itself and turned into a pile of pieces due to the extraction of the bone powder, Hindgar's body was repaired and became as flawless as ivory under the scorching fire of the soul. Judging from the appearance alone, it was clear that Sindgar had gained a lot of benefits from the supply of living souls that Yi Hui had continuously received, and with the addition of these living souls, Sindgar swept away the gray and rough appearance when he first saw it.
"Yes, yes, I feel like a skeleton mage in the truest sense of the word. I'm very happy with this state. Hindgar looked down at his newly repaired skeletal body and said with satisfaction.
Yi Hui took out a dwarven steel ore hoe from Telton's blacksmith's workshop and threw it to Sindegar and said, "Okay, skeleton mage, but first you have to free yourself from the oppression of the boulder, you don't want your master and me to do this kind of thing myself, right?" ”
As a result, Sindegar didn't do this kind of thing himself, he separated a few soul sparks and smashed into the few skeletons left on the ground, and after the soul sparks slowly drifted into the eyes of these skeletons, these Hindgar's original servants staggered to their feet, and they waved the mine hoes distributed by Yi Hui, and clanged around the boulder that pressed Sindega.
Originally, Sindegar couldn't get out of the oppression of the boulder, that is, because of the lack of tools, with the help of the dwarven steel mine hoe, Hindega finally got out of the predicament.
Hindgar, who had regained his freedom, stretched his body in satisfaction, and after trying to cast a few elaborate gestures on the skeleton minions with a few domain effects of the Bones of Longevity, he nodded in satisfaction. The appearance of the skeleton minion that has been cast with the effect of Bone of Longevity is also slightly more crystalline, and it no longer feels like it was in decay.
When Yi Hui proposed to transform Hindgar's body again, Hindgar, who was satisfied with his current state, said that he would not try that kind of metal body without quality, for him, a pure skeleton mage should have a pure skeleton body to support him, and now he is very satisfied with his state.
But out of consideration for satisfying Yi Hui's wishes, Sindegar proposed a compromise idea, and now it stood beside Yi Hui in an ordinary robe, bent down and said humbly: "My master, you just need a metal skeleton, right?" It doesn't have to be like this, your faithful servant, Hindgar. I have an idea to provide my minions for you to study, so that you can have as many metal skeleton masters as you want. And I, although I still think that pure skeletons are the best, but I am still willing to serve you wholeheartedly in order to control your master's will. ”
Yi Hui thought about it, and it was the same thing, so he readily agreed to the idea proposed by Sindega.
According to Hindgar, the inclusion of metal elements in the skeleton's body will greatly hinder the transmission of soul energy, especially the metal element silver, which is completely the nemesis of soul energy. And the addition of metal elements will also completely block the possibility of this skeleton body evolving again because of the doping of other elements in the bones, so Hindgar, who is obsessed with necromancy, will never let himself transform into such a strange creature, and there is no need to worry about the minions at all, as long as Yi Hui does not choose him. After all, Hindgar has also been with Yi Hui for a long time, and he fully understands Yi Hui's obsession and obsession with machinery and metal, and it is almost impossible to refuse directly.
When Yi Hui agreed, Hindgar, the skeleton mage, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yi Hui looked at the relaxed and happy Hindgar and felt angry and funny, and didn't say much, Yi Hui took out the Soul Attraction Lamp and put the souls of Hindgar and several servants into the lamp, and then put their bodies into the space ornament one by one, and then Shi Shiran left the mine.
The first batch of AK-47 parts had been completed thanks to the efforts of Telton's blacksmith's workshop, and when Gilgi and Miriti rushed to the inspection, they were impressed by the exquisite and uniform parts.
Miriti picked up a bolt part, carefully inspected it and compared it with the other one next to him at all angles, he gently lifted the crystal spectacle lens that fell off the bridge of his nose because of his bowed head, and said: "It's perfect, such a standardized production, I can't believe that such a standard part can be made by the dwarves in the form of pure hand." "He was much better than Gilgi in terms of the finesse of the parts and the rigor of the design dimensions, and it was impossible for the dwarves to be able to cast them without a certain level of proficiency, but Telton passed their craft in one go.
Tellon said triumphantly, "What's so difficult about this, a skilled dwarven blacksmith can carve a magnificent pattern of countless hair-thin lines into steel, and the production of such castings is a piece of cake for us dwarves. ”
Gilji said: "It's so hard that these weird-shaped parts can be 100% made into a physical entity by you from the blueprint, to be honest, many of my parts exist in my head because I don't have the forging technology to match them and just think about it, and now seeing that these gun parts can be made perfectly, I think that in the near future, we will be able to break out a new wave of invention in the bolt mining area." ”
Tylton confidently brandished the huge round-headed hammer and said, "As long as you can imagine, there is no metal that we dwarves can't forge, although I don't know what you do with these things, but the last thing we dwarves are afraid of is a challenge." ”
"Want to see it?" Gilgi and Miriti looked at each other and smiled, "Then look at it." ”
"It's time for us to show our hands." The two gnome technicians walked over to a pile of dwarven steel components that had been copied to the proportions of the previous bolt number, pulled out the wrench, changed the taper and began assembling it.
Previously, Yi Hui proposed to strengthen the key parts of the bolt with dwarf steel, and in the end, Gilji and Miriti discussed, Telton was dissatisfied with the complicated repair of the bolt number, and Suo proposed to use a full set of dwarf steel to reset the bolt number, and all its metal parts were upgraded to dwarf steel, his proposal was immediately approved by Gilji and Miriti, and the original structure of the bolt number was optimized and modified on a large scale on the blueprint. It ended up being a completely new design.
As Gilgi and Miriti climbed up and down to assemble, the upgraded parts of the bolt number on the shelf, which were placed on the ground and stacked in different categories, were assembled continuously, and the bolt number slowly became a shape. (To be continued.) )
