Chapter 180: Dripping Heavenly Marrow
The so-called mechanospore is a very special existence, which is the spores of mechanical fungi.
In this world, there are mechanical beasts, there are mechanical plants, and of course there are mechanical fungi.
In fact, the formula of feathering is a rare mechanical fungus.
And the mechanical fungi here are very different from the mushrooms in the previous world of Zhao Qian, most of the mechanical fungi are the existence at the top of the food chain, with strong combat power, and they are extremely vicious!
Many mechanical fungi feed on mechanical beasts, and even more, they can hunt powerful creatures such as beast generals and beast commanders!
Moreover, each mechanical fungus often has its own specialty.
For example, the Bomb Mushroom, each of which is a giant bomb that can produce a furious impact that can tear a beast to shreds, and the Phantom Mushroom, which can spill special particles that infect the senses of the mechanical beast, causing it to die of confusion!
Also, the white poison umbrella, the angry thunder fungus, etc., all have their own characteristics, and the lethality is terrifying!
"Brother Zhao, these things are not easy to find...... Zhang Liang looked proud, and said with a smile on his face, "Mechanical fungi are mostly fierce creatures, which are difficult to hunt, and they mostly live in poor mountains and bad waters, so they are difficult to find. ”
"I know, thank you for me,—— I conveyed it to Mr. Wei. Zhao Qian bowed slightly.
"Brother Zhao, are you cultivating fungi in preparation for research?" asked Zhang Liang.
Zhao Qian nodded: "Yes." ”
"In that case, why don't you choose adult fungi?" Tensor wondered, adding, "Oh, by the way, adult fungi are too aggressive...... However, juvenile fungi can also be chosen, which are less aggressive. Brother Zhao, mechanical fungi grow slowly, and it takes a lot of time to cultivate. ”
"I also know this," Zhao Qian smiled slightly, "Don't worry, I have my own way!"
"Is there a way?" Zhang Liang couldn't help but be curious when he heard this, "What way?"
Zhao Qian smiled and said nothing, and soon gave an eviction order to send him away.
Zhang Liang had a belly of question marks, but he had to reluctantly leave.
"It's time to start experimenting!" sent the tensor away, and the big Yan hand said, "Hurry up!"
Zhao Qian took a moment to recuperate, and then asked, "Don't worry, let's talk about it first, what is that liquid?"
"Dripping Heavenly Marrow!" said in a deep voice.
"Dripping heavenly marrow?" Zhao Qian's eyes moved, and he touched his nose, "I haven't heard of it...... What's the use?"
"It's very useful!" said in a fanatical tone, "A little bit of heavenly marrow, combined with enough energy, can accelerate the growth of mechanical spores!"
"Accelerate growth?" Zhao Qian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "How fast?"
"How can you say it clearly?" said Dayan Machine, "Can you see it with your own eyes?"
"Okay!" Zhao Qian nodded.
......
Laboratory.
Zhao Qian grabbed the long dropper and carefully dripped a drop of black liquid and landed in the center of the petri dish.
Inside this black liquid is a mechanical spore of a dreadclaw mushroom.
"Take a drop of the pith, dilute it a hundred times, and then take one of the drops and drop it into the spores. The Great Yan Weapon ordered, his tone was free, and the formalities were orderly.
"So little?" Zhao Qian was stunned.
"Why do you talk so much nonsense, just do it!" said the Great Mechanic impatiently.
"Got it. Zhao Qian nodded, his expression was solemn, and he operated step by step.
Tick!
After a long time, a diluted drop of pith drips off and mixes with the mechanical spores.
"Huh?" Zhao Qian looked suspicious when he saw this, "What...... Nothing happened?"
"It's nonsense again!" Da Yan said angrily, "I just said it, I still need enough energy!"
"Energy?" Zhao Qian wondered.
"Electricity!" Da Yan's hand spat out a word, as if he didn't even want to say a word of nonsense.
Soon, the circuit was connected, and the current was slowly surging!
Airplanes!
Electric Surge!
In a moment, in the petri dish, the black spores split rapidly, and a cloud of darkness continued to grow, like an inflated balloon, and its volume became more and more amazing. In just a moment, this pitch-black cloud rose from the ground, turning into a giant claw form, and its body became even bigger than Zhao Qian!
"What?" Zhao Qian was dumbfounded, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
The Great Yan Mechanic said "accelerated growth", and he naturally expected it.
However, Zhao Qian didn't expect that this "acceleration" actually meant that the speed skyrocketed by a hundredfold! Only a few seconds had passed, and in terms of the scale of the growth of the dreadclaw mushroom, it had already exceeded the growth of several years!
Call!
The dreadclaw mushroom swayed, and the black giant palm slapped down!
"What is this guy doing?" Zhao Qian was startled and rolled away.
Rumble!
The giant claw slapped down and landed on the concrete floor, and several cracks that were visible to the naked eye spread out.
Smack! Smack!
Immediately afterwards, the dreadclaw mushroom continued to shoot down, wrapped in a violent storm, with a fierce momentum, and the slapping was like a tide!
"I'll go, that's too exaggerated......"
Zhao Qian exclaimed, his body rolled continuously, and sometimes turned over backwards, constantly dodging.
"I'm in trouble!"
He secretly complained, and then remembered that the dreadclaw mushroom is an active hunting fungus that will attack nearby creatures, killing them as their own nourishment.
Fortunately, Zhao Qian has been exercising, and his feet are light, so he can dodge.
Ka!
But at this moment, the movement of the dreadclaw mushroom froze, its body trembled violently, layers of cracks appeared on the surface of the body, and countless black juices flowed down.
Rumble!
The dreadclaw mushroom collapsed with a bang, and the black liquid under the corpse overflowed, turning into a foul-smelling pool of black water.
"Dayan, this is ...... What's going on?" Zhao Qian saw this, his face full of puzzlement.
"Is this still not easy to understand?" said in a calm tone, obviously not surprised, "Do you think that accelerated growth has no sequelae?"
"Sequelae?" Zhao Qian's expression was suspicious.
"This drop of heavenly marrow can accelerate the growth of mechanical spores, but it will also deplete its life potential, causing it to die quickly!" explained the Great Robot, "Moreover, unlike other dead fungi, its dead remains will be of no value because it is depleted of nutrients and its cells are disintegrated. ”
"Huh?" Zhao Qian tilted his head and smiled bitterly, "In other words, after accelerating its growth, it will die within a few minutes, and the remains are worthless?"
He spread out his palms and said helplessly: "In this way, this drop of heavenly marrow is worthless......
"Worthless?" said the Great Weapon with disdain, "It's really a summer worm...... Can't you see that this is a powerful weapon?"
"Weapon?" Zhao Qian's eyes lit up, and his face groaned.
"Death Elegy is strong, Scourge is strong, Chaos is strong?" said in a sonorous tone, "I'm telling you, this thing is stronger! Now, keep experimenting!"
"Got it. Zhao Qian nodded heavily.
......
After another ten days, Zhao Qian lifted the sign of closing the door and continued to operate normally.
Unexpectedly, just after the closure was lifted, a visitor arrived.
Moreover, he is still half an acquaintance,—— Xue Beigu.
"Let me introduce myself: Xue Beigu, the sister-in-law of the Xue family, is also Yiqiu's brother. Xue Beigu laughed heartily and said, "Zhao Qian, it's really not easy to find you......
"I'm sorry, I've been in retreat lately, and I didn't mean to be lazy. Zhao Qian gave up his hand and confessed again and again, "If it delays your time, then I can't help it." ”
The person in front of him is the sister-in-law of the Xue family, the son of Xue Xun, and the elder brother of Xue Yashao and Xue Yiqiu.
"You and my friend, you don't have to see each other like this......" Xue Beigu smiled and waved his hand, and said solemnly, "This time, I want to ask you for a favor." ”
He is straightforward, and he also knows that Zhao Qian likes to go straight, so naturally he will not beat around the bush.
"What's the help, please ......" Zhao Qian smiled, patted his chest and said, "As long as I can help, it is my duty!"
"Lately, I've needed to go to the Land of Eternal Night. Xue Bei said.
"What are you going to do in the land of eternal night?" Zhao Qian was shocked when he heard this.
The Land of Eternal Night is still north of the Frost Sinking Military Region, and belongs to the territory of the Automatons. It is one of the most famous places, the climate is very cold, the wind and snow are howling, and there is no sunlight for 365 days a year, it is absolutely dark, which is also the origin of its name.
"That's right, our Xue family has left something behind in the land of eternal night, and we hope to be able to retrieve it. Xue Beigu said simply, "However, there are many difficulties. ”
Zhao Qian was not surprised.
"The land of eternal night is absolutely dark, and a little light of fire will attract mechanical beasts, so let alone mecha guns, even laser blades and laser daggers can't be used, only alloy ......war knives can be used," Xue Beigu said slowly.
Zhao Qian listened quietly.
Speaking of this, Xue Beigu smiled bitterly: "And in the low-temperature environment of the Land of Eternal Night, the alloy war knife has also become quite fragile, and it will break when it is touched, and it will not be able to break through the defense of the mechanical beast at all. ”
"Oh?" Zhao Qian understood, "You want a weapon?"
"Well, it's a weapon!" Xue Beigu nodded, "I see that Lingming's materials are special, and I feel that Zhao Qian, you seem to have made some achievements in material science...... I want a special alloy war knife that can slay automatons even in ultra-low temperatures!"
"Alloy war knife?" Zhao Qian rubbed his chin and hesitated.
Seeing Zhao Qian's strange expression, Xue Beigu hurriedly said: "Zhao Qian, please rest assured, our Xue family will never treat you badly......"
He said with a package ticket: "As long as that alloy war knife can meet my requirements, our Xue family can give you a mecha gun-'Broken Moon'! This 'Broken Moon' is made in imitation of the 'Bang Star Heavy Artillery', which is amazingly lethal and powerful!"
"Bang Xing Heavy Artillery?" Zhao Qian's eyes lit up, but he hid this excitement well, and said with a smile, "However, the reason for my hesitation just now is not this. ”
"What's that?" Xue Beigu was stunned.
"I mean, the alloy war knife is not worthy of you......" Zhao Qian smiled faintly, and said in a deep tone, "Could it be that as a disciple of the Xue family, you don't want a gun?"
"A gun?" Xue Beigu was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up, "Yes...... Mecha rifle?"
"Of course!" Zhao Qian nodded.
"Can you do it?" Xue Beigu became more and more surprised, "There is no gun that emits any light?"
"Not only is there no light," Zhao Qian smiled, "Moreover, the power will be better than any of your previous mecha guns!"
