38. Mechanical Body (2)
James watched Adam leave and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "Adam, you underestimate me. There is only a glimmer of hope, I can do my best to fight for it, this is my own choice, resentment? ”
From the power of telekinesis that Adam had just demonstrated, James had already seen the extraordinary and the difficult. Even if this kind of materialization is a characteristic brought about by the meditation method, it is impossible to have it if the amount of spiritual power is not reached, he has studied spiritual power for decades, and he will not even fail to see this, for James, choosing to stay is a stud, gambling everything he has, even if it is death.
"It's better to die on the path of a mage than to spend the rest of your life doing nothing. ”
......
Adam came to the original psychic power laboratory, and after showing the credentials given to him by Master Erin, the laboratory was unsealed. The Tower's work efficiency is extremely high, and this month's funding has been allocated, Adam has summoned an alchemy golem through the console, and he needs to renovate the laboratory, which had too many rooms and too many redundant rooms, presumably due to the large number of apprentices involved in the research.
But Adam doesn't need so many people to help him with the evidence, he has the ability to work in multiple threads, and he can even stand up to a team by himself in a project like mental power that doesn't require any large equipment.
Adam needed a sample, not an assistant.
The alchemy puppet began to work after receiving the order to obtain the power stone, and Adam once again saw the silver torrent he had seen on the dock before, and these nano-level robots covered the laboratory like a tide, directly dismantling and combining the original structure, and meeting Adam's requirements in a few seconds.
If these puppets weren't the wealth of the Academy, Adam would be eager to keep them all, and this ability to directly change the physical form is simply fascinating.
The next step was to buy equipment and become the owner of the laboratory, and he realized that the tower could improve so many magical things.
Optical projectors are just the most basic things, mental power amplifiers, materialization aids, energy amplifiers, energy fluctuation recorders and other instruments that sound very powerful, but relatively, the price is very high.
Adam frowned and bought a batch of equipment, and found that the funds allocated by the tower were quickly spent, and at this point he finally knew why there were apprentices who duel because of this because of the low value of power stones, but the apprentices were too poor.
He couldn't help but think of the red conquest missions in the mission hall and the huge rewards, Adam, who was originally a research nerd, was not interested in those, but now he found that maybe he really had to do it.
But now wasn't the time, he needed to get the meditation method to the library. The books with specific runes in the library are not paper, but the three-dimensional form of the light curtain, Adam enters the telekinetic meditation method into the optical projector, and then removes the information box from the projector, and the complete rune group has been stored in the information box, and the library will form a 'book' according to the information box.
......
Early the next morning, Frank arrived at the lab almost at the same time as James.
"I would love to join the lab. Frank said directly.
Adam wasn't surprised by this, and judging by yesterday's performance, Frank's agreement was almost inevitable.
"I'm honored, but what I need is not an experimental assistant, but a test subject, can you accept it?" Adam's words are very direct, in the study of the Mindfulness Meditation Method, whether it is James or Frank, their wisdom is not enough to help Adam, the meaning of the two of them is to provide Adam with data - under ordinary qualification cultivation and semi-mechanical body cultivation.
Even if they had already positioned their abilities, the two of them were still a little embarrassed when they heard Adam's words, but soon Frank said categorically: "Yes, Mr. Adam, I can accept it." ”
Adam nodded, took out two copies and handed them the contract, the content of the contract was very formulaic, and they signed it without even looking at it.
Adam clapped his hands and said, "So, you're welcome to join." There was no morale boost or celebration, and Adam assigned the task very directly: "James, you can start building meditation methods, if you find it difficult, you can use amplifiers and materialization aids, all the processes of your construction will be monitored, if you have any problems, sort them out, and leave them to me." Mr. Frank, you come with me. ”
Frank's research was more valuable than James's, and Adam was interested in him.
"Mr. Frank, I wonder if there has been any change in your soul and mental power since you lost half of your body. ”
This is a question that Frank is concerned with every day in the midst of his hardship, and when he hears Adam ask him, he says without thinking: "There is no change, but after losing my body, I can no longer feel the elements." ”
Adam recorded his words and asked, "So, do you know about the rest of the apprentices who use the mechanical body, and they don't have the means to feel the elements?"
Frank knew that Adam was a rookie, although he was extremely talented, but he didn't know much about common sense, so he directly said what Adam wanted to know: "Yes, all apprentices in a situation like mine can no longer produce elemental perception, and we can only go on the path of alchemists." However, this path requires a huge amount of resources, and the Moldy Elemental Tower is not long in alchemy. ”
"So, do you know what the reason is?"
Frank nodded: "In the apprenticeship stage, the body is the realistic manifestation of the soul, and the semi-mechanical body, although it does not affect life, will cause the loss of the soul. ”
Adam drew the emphasis, and the study of the soul on earth was only theological, and its existence could not even be determined at the scientific level. If Frank is right, the incompleteness of the body causes the soul to be missing, then why is thinking not affected?
Could it be that in the apprenticeship, or mortal stage, the human mind is not determined by the soul?
Adam took this question to heart, this kind of knowledge should not be considered confidential, there may be relevant materials in the library, just look it up when you have time.
He said to Frank, "You told me yesterday that a mechanical body causes pain, how does this pain come about?"
"I look like one person, but I'm actually two bodies. All the characteristics of the flesh and blood are only carried out in half of the way, and the other half is not felt. But the mechanical side has to be involved. Frank stripped off all his clothes, revealing his mechanical body, and then he grabbed it with both hands, forcefully separating it from his flesh.
This kind of thing obviously hurts, and Frank Khan rained down, but he didn't say a word, and said with the calm he tried to maintain: "That's it. ”
It looks a little scary, the small granulations on the broken side of the body are constantly growing, trying to heal the wounds, and the mechanical side is simply cutting off the granulations, and every blood vessel is connected to a pipe, and the blood flows in this way, even the internal organs are made of machinery, and Frank's entire body is failing rapidly.
"It's the magic that keeps it running. ”
Adam knew that perhaps the most painful thing for him was not physiological, the flesh and blood that had not been tempered had to be in contact with magic at all times, and the regeneration rate of cells could not keep up with the speed of death, so what was waiting for Frank was to see himself die, and this psychological pressure was the most painful.
Adam pressed his hand on Frank's body, Frank shook uncomfortably, and Adam said, "Don't move, I need to test it." ”
Whether the mental power can construct a membrane between the mechanical body and the flesh and blood body, so that the harmonious combination between the two, the spiritual power itself has the carrying capacity, and the mental power is beyond the spiritual power, then whether the mental power can play a neutralizing role between different substances, this is what Adam wants to study now.
The telekinetic force flowed out softly and gently, covering the fracture, and Adam gradually controlled it to materialize, and after the perfect covering, it formed a thin film, and he said to Frank, "Merge." ”
Frank breathed a sigh of relief, tearing himself apart, even though he was used to the pain, he couldn't bear it, and then he became nervous again, if Adam's experiment was okay, it undoubtedly meant that he might not have to suffer such pain in the future.
Adam took his hand away and asked Frank, "How does it feel?" ”
"The pain has decreased, but it is not noticeable. Frank frowned, and he found a more critical problem: "And the growth of the body cannot be suppressed." ”
Adam nodded and recorded, and then applied changes to the telekinesis, enhancing the power of the telekinesis, and controlling the body to no longer grow, it was not easy, too much strength would kill the body, and the strength was too small and there was no way to suppress it, fortunately, Adam had the perverted level of computing power, so he found the most suitable output in a short time.
"And now?" asked Adam again.
Frank's eyes burst with a bright light, not a description, it was a real light, this was a manifestation of the violent mood swings and the inability to control his mental power, he said to Adam excitedly: "It works! It really works! Compared to before, it almost doesn't hurt, I feel more relaxed than before!"
Frank had reason to be excited, and this manifestation of telekinesis gave him great hope, and he had applied for the experimental project only to alleviate the pain, and now that goal had been achieved.
Adam originally wanted to try to build blood vessels with telekinesis, but Frank's current state was not suitable for experimentation, he withdrew the telekinesis, Frank's expression suddenly distorted, Adam turned a blind eye, and said calmly: "That's all for today, you can go back and rest, or go to James to build a meditation method together." ”
