Chapter 188: The Birth of the Leviathan
After the success of the marketing campaign, orders flocked to the factory built by the young Blue Dragon in the "Midtown" of Nome. The low-cost "colonization muscles", the rudimentary form of a simple metal exoskeleton, and the slatted armor of the Medici system form the popular "standard: fanatic armor".
This bioskeleton armor sells for up to 500 silver kites, not including the cost of purchasing a special "maintenance solution" from Nome City for maintenance.
Although the latter sells for only 50 copper deben clay pots, it costs one pot per month when not fighting, and one pot when two hourglasses during war, which is also a huge expense in the long run.
Even so, it is the dream of every samurai to have a suit of armor for a madman, especially for those of noble origins - it doesn't take much hard work day after day, as long as you wear this armor, ordinary people can become powerful warriors.
In addition, those with a keen mind have found that as long as the armor is not disassembled and the internal structure is destroyed, it is completely possible to install various practical or just exterior accessories on the outside.
Many Medici aristocrats would buy several sets of armor for themselves, and modify them according to their family ornaments or personal preferences, and those who were particularly keen and wealthy would even buy dozens of sets at once.
Knowing the art of hunger marketing, Quest's factory only produces fifty sets of standard fanatic armor each month. Therefore, if you want to buy a set of armor, you must pay the full amount in advance and wait for the delivery schedule.
But the market is still a "seller's market", and boxes of silver Kate continue to enrich the pockets of the young blue dragon. With the support of this funding, not only is the reconstruction of Nome City in full swing, but also a large amount of material procurement for the development of the Flying Behemoth has also been secured.
The only problem that worries Quest is the new problem encountered in the development of the Flying Behemoth - this huge bio-vehicle has no way to start cultivating from embryos with the current technology.
The half-lich borrowed from the stitching and manufacturing methods of some undead creatures, and cultivated some functional officials respectively, ready to splice and fuse them. However, unlike the supernatural undead that do not have life, the various organs of the flying beast always have a rejection reaction, resulting in a large area of paralysis and death.
Snead's solution is to "immortalize" various organs, but in this way, the entire flying beast will become a huge undead creature - it can only rely on a huge amount of negative energy to provide energy, which has great limitations.
In desperation, the young blue dragon finally decided to endure the pain and attack himself, hoping that the "passive adaptive" ability could give up some of its characteristics to the living organs of the flying giant beast through bloodline transformation.
After repatriating everyone, Quest constructed several seals for the entire lab to prevent prying eyes, using psychic abilities and spells. Although the protagonist says that this is for the sake of safety, the author still has to confess to the people who read the book: he is purely afraid of pain, and he is even more afraid that he will be seen by others if he cries in pain.
Thanks to the estimation of the size of the giant beast, the space in the laboratory is huge, enough for the young blue dragon to transform into a real body and stay in it. Quest held his tail down with his powerful forelimbs, turned his head in other directions, and used his wings to shield his involuntary glance down.
Sharp claws quickly snapped a fleshy scale from the tip of its tail, its teeth clenched so as not to let out a "whoosh" roar. Taking advantage of the short time for the scales to leave his body, Quis hurriedly used a bloodline transformation spell to transplant it into the original organ of a flying giant beast that had been prepared for a long time. By this time, his wounds had begun to heal slowly and grow new scales, and the adaptive healing power had taken effect.
At the same time, the organs endowed with the dragon's flesh are also undergoing drastic changes that are visible to the naked eye: the scaly dragon flesh tissue rapidly grows into the flesh and burrows into the epidermis of the organs. Amazingly, the whole process did not cause any rejection of the organs, as if the organs also knew the "benefits" of the dragon's flesh.
This organ is the organ that is modified from the special "heart" of the Blazing Shadowmon's body that can digest black oil, and when it is modified, it can not only digest black oil, but also coal, sugar, and other organic matter can be fully utilized to convert chemical energy into heat energy.
Due to his understanding of his passive adaptive ability, Quest has prepared various materials for "training" after fusion - if the organ obtains some abilities of the young blue dragon, then it can actively optimize and adjust itself in the case of passive adaptation, and continuously improve the efficiency of its own functions.
After putting coal into this bio-furnace, it begins to generate its own tissue for grinding, grinding coal into pulverized coal to increase combustion efficiency, and after pouring black oil, the bio-furnace begins to generate structures that can atomize black oil, also to improve fuel efficiency.
The young blue dragon put some organic matter into it, and the organs of this biological furnace underwent even more shocking changes. After adaptive evolution took place, this organ first broke down organic matter into large amounts of hydrogen, water, and other combustible gases.
But after burning for a while, it evolved a better way to use energy.
The hydrogen that would have been burned was attached to the nascent layers of thin film structures to form a fuel cell-like energy supply method - thanks to his previous science and engineering background (and later turned programmer), he was well aware of the advantages of this energy utilization method - avoiding the Carnot cycle theory that the heat engine needs to follow, and converting the Gibbs free energy part of the chemical energy in the hydrogen fuel into electricity.
But a new problem arises, because the surface of this organ is quickly covered with a large amount of electrical charge due to the lack of an energy storage system itself. New granulations grow on the surface of the organs, spreading out, and tip discharges are constantly occurring.
As a result of receiving the blood transplant, it was clear to Quest that he had established a special connection with this organ, and that he could control the functioning of the organ to a certain extent. At the same time, he also felt more clearly and degraded the evolutionary intent of the organs. The growing flesh sprouts crawled out of the culture tank, bypassing the young blue dragon that had been re-humanized, and swarming towards the other organs in the laboratory that were still in the culture tank.
The first to be linked is the brain of the flying beast, which is designed according to the distributed structure of insects in order to be able to effectively control the beast, and each neural node is responsible for controlling a part of the monster's body. After being connected by the electrically charged tentacles in the bio-furnace, the parts of the neural network that have not yet been built are naturally assembled.
Quiss can now clearly feel the thoughts conveyed by the flying beasts—a sense of identification with the bloodline of the young blue dragon, and an incomparable desire for self-birth. Powered by the Bio Furnace, the Behemoth's brain has been activated.
By this time, however, the energy that the furnace could provide had been depleted, and the rate at which granulated tentacles grew from the furnace and brain had slowed down. Seeing this, Quest immediately ripped off the seal he had set up earlier, and told his friends to hurry in and help buy fuel and replace the nutrients in the culture tank.
The entire laboratory was immediately transformed into a delivery room for newborn behemoths.
The steampunk half-lich commands undead laborers dressed in "Working Edition: Zealot Armor" to carry buckets of nutrient solution from a nearby warehouse to the laboratory and pour them into the culture tank.
The three ogre brothers were tasked with transporting entire boxes of coal from a warehouse built further away to store flammable and explosive materials to fuel the bio-furnace.
Through psychic abilities, Quis and the Behemoth's nascent consciousness are constantly in communication. He accurately "translated" the instinctive evolutionary needs of the giant beast to the managers of various links in the laboratory, and adjusted the various material matches extremely quickly.
For ten days, except for the half-lich and his undead laborers, including Quis, who was responsible for maintaining the psychic connection, everyone else in the laboratory relied on the "energy potion" provided by the witch doctor Paru.
The entire laboratory, or the beast's delivery room, has been heated to extremely high temperatures due to the constant burning of the bio-furnace. Some of the nutrient solutions in the culture tanks had begun to boil, and the pre-designed vents were starting to be a little embarrassed, but like the internal organs of a giant beast that were still thriving, everyone was trying to hold on.
When the stock of nutrient solution was nearly exhausted, the internal tissue growth of the whole giant beast was finally completed. The earliest erected brain and its attached nervous system have been greatly improved, which also makes it much easier for Ques to communicate.
"Father," the flying beast's words were delivered to the young blue dragon with unmistakable accuracy under the link of a psychic ability, and for the first time, it did not use "instinctive needs", but expressed meaningful words in its entirety, "I'm ready." ”
Quis was also aware of this, and the fatigue of years of maintaining the psychic connection was swept away. He stepped forward, pressed his palm against the wrinkled brain of the beast, and whispered, "I give you life, and your true name is Levi-Tan!"
The behemoth that was about to cover the entire laboratory floor immediately became excited, and all the tissues began to make final adjustments: the core brain that carried the will of the behemoth was wrapped in layers of flesh and pushed to the deepest part of the internal organs......
The airship airbag skin captured from the U-Sang was spliced together into a giant balloon with many chambers, which were hoisted over the Behemoth by towing equipment. The Leviathan behemoth, which had received Quis's command, once again sprang up a multitude of tentacles, and wrapped the balloon in a firm grip.
The original skin was quickly digested, and replaced by the Leviathan's own skin and muscles. The dragon's traits from the juvenile blue dragon began to be revealed: the surface of the giant airbag began to produce scales that seemed thin but could deflect the force field, and hundreds of sharp horns protruded from the surface of the airbag, all with electric lights flashing at the tips.
The tentacles that connected the Leviathan's internal organs to the air sac began to contract, pulling the tissue that lay on the ground into its embryonic body. Quith was still a little worried about whether the towrope would be able to carry so much weight, and was ready to cast a levitation spell to help the Leviathan complete the final assembly.
However, the "smart" behemoth had already thought of this, spewing high-pressure gas that had been accumulating for days from beneath it, and at the same time the biocrucible opened, pouring hot air into the air sacs through special hollow tentacles.
With the combined forces of the upper and lower levels, the Leviathan's shell and internal organs were quickly combined - and the Leviathan was finally born.
