Nanjing City, Scientific Research Institute.

Hou Sui stood in front of a one-foot-tall Mo family puppet, the expression on his face was joyful and worried, and even a little worried, while the Mo family disciples next to Hou Sui were all worried.

"Dean, you said that we spent so much silver, will Your Majesty blame us?"

Huang Xiang on the side asked in a low voice, this time Hou Sui played a bit big, and this time he spent eight million taels of silver to make the puppet in front of him.

At the beginning, Su Hao deliberately allocated three million taels of silver to the scientific research institute in order to let them study more powerful mechanism dolls, and a few months ago he allocated another five million taels, but only this one mechanism puppet was made, and they spent all eight million taels of silver.

What is the concept of eight million taels of silver, you must know that raising a 200,000-strong army and horse can't cost so much silver in a year, and as a result, they spent so much silver to build a puppet, if Su Hao didn't get angry, he would have a ghost.

"Probably not, right?"

Hearing Huang Xiang's words, Hou Sui was also a little unsure, after all, he was indeed a bit big this time, the puppet he made before only cost 400,000 taels of silver, and this one cost 20 times as much silver.

However, the mechanism puppet made is also worth the money, because the whole body of this mechanism puppet is made of thousand-year-old demon wood, although the wood of the thousand-year-old demon wood is a little cheaper than the bark, but it costs a hundred taels of silver for a catty.

Although the puppet in front of him does not look big, the demon wood is dense and extremely heavy, and the thousand-year-old demon wood alone is enough to use nearly 50,000 catties, plus he invited the masters of the Laoshan faction and the Heavenly Master's Mansion to engrave the magic pattern for all the demon wood, and this alone used more than five million taels of silver.

Moreover, the engine and fuel were all painstakingly studied and re-researched, and the power that could burst out was several times stronger than the mechanical puppet he had before.

Of course, after spending so much silver, the strength of this puppet is also ridiculously strong, the body made of thousand-year-old demon wood alone is ridiculously hard, he once tried it with the puppet he made before, and under the heavy hammer, even the defense of the puppet in front of him can't be broken.

It can be said that even if he stands still, it is difficult for the innate powerhouse to break the defense of the puppet in front of him, and the attack of the puppet in front of him is a little stronger than the previous puppet.

Of course, the main reason why he spent so much silver was to solve the speed problem of the puppet, the most fatal weakness of the puppet before was that the speed was too slow, even a stronger first-class martial artist could easily use the speed to drag the puppet.

So this time he made this puppet is to solve this weakness, for this reason he has reduced the size of the puppet by several times, the previous puppet is two feet high, and the puppet in front of him is only one zhang and one height of one, and the weight is only three percent of the original puppet.

Coupled with the engine and fuel he re-researched, the machine puppet in front of him is already three points faster than the average martial arts master, it can be said that now it is facing the congenital realm powerhouse, and this mechanism puppet alone can also be matched, at least before the fuel is exhausted, most of the innate realm powerhouses have no way to take this machine puppet.

It's just that he didn't feel anything when he spent the silver, but now that he came back to his senses, he also felt that he was a bit big this time, after all, eight million taels of silver could completely cultivate two or three innate powerhouses and many masters of other levels.

After a moment of silence, Hou Sui spoke: "In any case, let's go and report to Your Majesty first." ”

Sticking out the head is a knife, and shrinking the head is also a knife, and the Black Ice Platform monitors everything up and down the Great Qi, and the affairs of the Scientific Research Institute can't hide the Black Ice Platform, Su Hao will know sooner or later, it is better to go to Su Hao to report now.

…

Zichen Palace.

Su Hao is dealing with government affairs, this time he went to the grassland for more than ten days, and accumulated a lot of government affairs, mainly because of the time wasted by chasing and killing Dolgon and Azig's subordinates in the back.

However, the results of this trip to the grassland still made him very satisfied, although Dolgon and Azig escaped, but the masters of the entire Jurchen clan almost let him serve it in one pot, and the Jurchen clan is finished, and one or two strong people alone cannot support a strong clan.

"Your Majesty, Hou Sui, the president of the scientific research academy, is asking to see you outside."

At this moment, a chamberlain walked in.

Hearing this, Su Hao said, "Let him come in." ”

After a while, Hou Sui walked into the Zichen Hall under the leadership of the chamberlain, and when he saw Su Hao, Hou Sui hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Your Majesty!" ”

"Aiqing doesn't have to be polite."

Su Hao raised his head: "Hou Aiqing came over to ask to see, but what's the big deal?" ”

Hearing Su Hao's words, Hou Sui hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has already researched a new puppet. ”

"New trap dolls?"

Hearing this, Su Hao couldn't help frowning and said, "How is the strength?" ”

He still attaches great importance to Hou Sui's research, and he knew from Qian Feng's mouth that the changes in this world are related to the steam engine he made, so he is even more concerned about Hou Sui's research, and specially allocated five million taels of silver for Hou Sui to squander.

After all, Hou Sui may be the person chosen by the Heavenly Dao, the legendary Chosen Son, Hou Sui's research is very likely to be the choice of the Heavenly Dao to save this heaven and earth, although he does not need to rely on Hou Sui's research to enhance his strength, but if Hou Sui can research any powerful weapons, it is also a good thing for Daqi.

"I also hope that Your Majesty can go to the scientific research institute to test it personally."

Hearing Su Hao's question, Hou Sui arched his hand and said, this time he used up all the research funds allocated by Su Hao, and it is estimated that only by letting Su Hao personally test the new puppet and see the power of the puppet with his own eyes can Su Hao be angry.

"Then let's go check it out."

…

Soon, the group came to the test site of the scientific research institute.

"This is the puppet that Hou Aiqing researched?"

Looking at the puppet on the test ground, Su Hao frowned slightly, the height of one zhang and one is only three meters seven, which is equivalent to two adults, it is not a Gundam at all, it can only be said to be a small mecha.

Seeing Su Hao frowning, Hou Sui hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty, the main reason why the minister reduced the size of the puppet is to make the puppet have a faster speed, and now the size of the puppet has shrunk, but the strength has not become weaker, but stronger." ”

"In that case, then Aiqing will open my eyes."

Hearing Hou Sui's explanation, a look of curiosity flashed in Su Hao's eyes, he had also personally tested the previous puppets, except for the speed was hard, the power or something, there was nothing to find fault with.

If the puppet in front of you really solves the problem of speed, then this puppet will have the value of actual combat, instead of being used on the battlefield as before.

Hearing this, Hou Sui immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then hurriedly responded: "The minister will go and prepare." ”

What he is most worried about is that Su Hao is unwilling to give him the opportunity to show it, this puppet is his brainchild, he has full confidence in this puppet, he believes that Su Hao will definitely be satisfied in the end.

After all, this puppet has the strength of the innate realm, don't look at Daqi now there are also innate powerhouses, but the puppet can be made continuously as long as there are resources.

Although it takes a lot of silver to make a mechanism puppet of this level in front of him, and the thousand-year-old demon wood is priceless, it may not be possible to find so many demon wood to make mechanism dolls, but in the future, it can be made with the materials that he used to make mechanism dolls, although the strength will definitely be much weaker, but it is also comparable to a martial arts master.

Once there are several mechanism puppets comparable to martial arts masters cooperating with each other, they can completely match the innate realm, and with the strength of Daqi, there is no problem at all in creating dozens of them, and the mechanism puppets can be much stronger than flesh and blood humans when attacking the city.

Coming to the puppet, Hou Sui opened the cockpit of the puppet, but it was different from the cockpit of the previous puppet, this cockpit was a humanoid cockpit, and Hou Xun took out a palm-sized black spar from his chest and placed it on a corresponding gap in the cockpit.

This hedron is the new fuel he has researched, which has been refined hundreds of times with the previous fuel before it is refined into a solid, this fuel is more powerful and lasts longer.

Hou Sui walked into the cockpit, and at this time, a helmet was lowered on the top of the cockpit and put on Hou Xun's head, and then the hatch closed automatically, and the entire cockpit suddenly fell into darkness, and the divine thoughts instantly spread to the entire puppet, and at the same time, the four bulkheads seemed to become transparent, and the scenery outside was unobstructed.

"Your Majesty, the minister is ready."

Hou Sui controlled the puppet and said.

"Then let me see how strong Aiqing's puppet is."

Looking at the increasingly high-tech puppets, Su Hao said to Kong San on the side, "You go and try it." ”

As the emperor of Great Qi, he can't always do it himself, last time it was because of an accident, this time, he naturally had to bring someone who could test, and Kong San was naturally the best candidate.

"Obey."

Hearing Su Hao's words, Kong San on the side hurriedly answered, and then walked to the test site, as a test site for scientific research institutes, it is naturally not too small, it is dozens of zhang long and wide, enough for Kong San and the puppet to go all out.

The next moment, Kong San appeared next to the puppet in a flash, and then slashed at the puppet's feet with two knives in his hand, as an old Jianghu, he naturally knew the weaknesses of the Mo family's puppets.

Although the puppets made by Hou Sui are indeed different from the puppets he has seen before, the weakness will not change, as long as the joints of the puppets are broken, the puppets will definitely lose their mobility.

Hou Sui naturally wouldn't let Kong San crack so easily, only to see the puppet's feet move to protect the joints, Kong San's double knives cracked on the puppet's legs, but only a shallow knife mark was left, it can be said that the puppet was not injured at all.

At this time, the puppet waved its fist and smashed towards Kong San, and the powerful force brought the sound of the howling wind.

Looking at the powerful fist of the puppet, Kong San frowned, and dodged away, although the speed of the puppet is not very fast, but the strength is not to be underestimated, and he will inevitably be injured when he is hit by this punch.

It's just that at this time, in order to let Su Hao see the strength of the puppet, it was naturally impossible for Kong San to dodge so easily, only to see that four small claws suddenly stretched out from the back of the puppet, and then attacked Kong San.

Clang! Clang!

Kong San had time to pick up two of the claws, and the other two were already in front of him.

Seeing this, the qi in Kong San's body burst out violently, and all the remaining two claws flew out, and then, Kong San hurriedly withdrew and retreated, retreating a distance of more than ten zhang.

Looking at the puppet, Kong San's face finally showed a solemn expression, he had always thought that the puppet made by Hou Sui was still the kind of puppet with slow speed, but he didn't expect that the other party's speed was no slower than that of the martial arts master.

Coupled with the various mechanisms on the puppet, if he continues to be careless, he will also suffer a big loss, after all, the power of the puppet is there, and if he takes a punch, he can't stand it.

Winter! Winter! Winter!

The puppet rushed towards Kong San, at this time, the puppet's palms suddenly stood up, and dense small holes appeared in the palms.

Seeing the overwhelming number of fine needles, Kong San could only prop up the Gang Qi shield again and completely protect himself, he knew very well that these fine needles would definitely not be just ordinary fine needles, there was a high probability that they would be poisonous needles, after all, what the Mo family was best at was building all kinds of highly toxic mechanisms for the mausoleum.

Bite! Bite! Bite!

After a dense "ding" sound, all the cow hair needles were blocked by the Gangqi shield.

But at this time, the puppet had already appeared in front of Kong San, and then smashed into Kong San's head with a punch again.

Sensing the sense of danger brought by the puppet, Kong San roared angrily, and the two knives in his hands were crossed vertically in front of him.

Winter!

The fist smashed on the double knife, making a heavy hammer and muffling sound, Kong San's whole person involuntarily flew upside down, flying upside down for more than ten zhang, and when he flew to the edge of the test site, Kong San stomped on the ground and forcibly stopped.

However, at this time, the puppet was approaching again, and at the same time, the ten fingers of the puppet were stretched straight, and it was obvious that another mechanism was gaining momentum.

Seeing this scene, Kong San could only rise into the air, and at the same time protect himself with a gang qi shield, on the ground, he was no longer the opponent of the mechanism puppet full of mechanisms, and continued to stay on the ground, he was just humiliating himself.
