As a result of Nesta's breakthrough, the team of witch doctors used the mother tree pod to orientally cultivate a large mass of biological tissue, using the volcanic salamander's regenerative abilities similar to or even superior to those of trolls.

Now, what appeared before Nesta's eyes was such a composite organ.

With a volume of about three cubic meters, the witch doctors integrated the digestive system, respiratory system, blood circulation system, and corresponding high-discharge cell population.

At the forefront, there is a related area stripped from the brain that has the instinct to control the operation of the viscera;

This area is tightly encased by a single piece of cemented bone, and there is a composite plant outer wall mixed with metal mesh on the outside of the skeleton;

On the outer wall of the plant, there are some complex totem patterns inscribed, which seem to have many complex functions?

This is undoubtedly the 'center', and underneath it is a large ball of flesh that integrates a large number of organ functions.....

The meat ball occupies about 70% of the area of this three-cubic-meter whole, and its outer ring is also a composite structure of cemented bones + metal mesh + plant body, and inside these layers, there are thick muscles like heart muscle.

At the upper middle end and the oblique posterior tail end of the meat ball, there are two separate non-fully closed structures;

Among them, the upper one is a slightly open hole;

On the downward-facing side, there is a muscle-locked opening.

At this time, both the front 'center' and the rear 'functional center', their outer protective layers, as well as the crusted bones that have some hematopoietic functions in addition to protection, remain semi-open, so that Nesta can see the inside.

~~~~~

After the group witch doctor introduced Nesta to the general structure, he removed a plant pipe and inserted it into the half-opening above the functional area.

After some more operations, the pipe began to make a 'goo-goo-goo' sound, transporting the viscous semi-fluid substance in the large liquid tank attached to the other end into the opening of the meat ball.

After that, another witch doctor standing in the central area also pressed his palm to a certain area between the dense runes almost at the same time, and began to activate them.

Obviously, there is more than one totem that needs to be activated, and then he performed similar operations on the other totem areas, and then he stopped and walked to Nesta and said,

"The entire organ population is normally in a dormant-like state of low activity, and when it is required to work at full capacity, it can be activated by a preset totem set in the central area."

Nesta nodded, and he could see clearly, almost all of the depictions on the outer walls of the central area were 'electricity-command totems', but due to the different functions they undertook, they showed differences in details.

At this moment, several modules made violent noises in the meat balls in the functional area that were agitating at an extremely slow frequency, which had been lazy before.

First, the heart-like voice of 'Dong Dong Dong', almost at the same time, all sides of the meat ball also opened holes that had not been discovered before;

Suddenly, the wind sounded, and the air poured in and out, as if a ball of meat was breathing.

And according to the witch doctors, what this thing is doing now is really breathing.....

After that, the surface of the ball began to wriggle in the thick and thin knotted tubes, as if some liquid was surging within it;

Immediately afterwards, a continuous crisp sound of 'crackling' accompanied by a dancing light appeared on the outer wall of the entire functional area, and the entire organ was thus attached with a thin arc of light.

Nesta stepped forward with a solemn face and reached close to touch it.....

There was a not-so-strong paralyzing sensation at the fingertips, and the sound and light effects seen in front of me and heard in the ears all showed what this thing was...

That's right, this is that the electricity and witch doctors did use the organs of the salamander to create a 'biological generator', and it was not the 'microbial power generation' and 'bacterial power generation' that he had often heard of in his previous life, but the more hardcore 'organ power generation'.

Just as Nesta was happy with the product and thought about its use, the paralyzing sensation and the sound and light effects came to an abrupt halt;

Then, there was the sound of 'booming' running water, coming from the other direction.

Nesta turned her head to see that the closed area of the functional area, which looked like a 'chrysanthemum', was now open, and a jet of liquid shot out of it, flowing into the container that had been prepared long ago.

It dawned on him that this thing is a living thing, and power generation is also an 'organ reaction', which not only needs nutrients to form energy, but also needs to metabolize the corresponding waste materials.....

"Your Excellency, because there is no comparison, we don't know whether the power generation efficiency of this thing is high or low, but you can also see that the 'blending of high-concentration food' with a size of nearly ten cubic meters can only be used to maintain its power generation for one more light, and..."

At this time, a witch doctor explained, half embarrassed, half ashamed,

"Moreover, now this volume is the best ratio of power generation capacity and organ operation capacity, once the volume is increased or decreased, the effect will drop exponentially.... Therefore, it seems that there is still a considerable distance from what you said about 'driving the movement of mechanical structures', not to mention the supply of 'food', which also requires corresponding space ......"

Nesta only nodded slightly, and did not rebuke them, he knew that it was not easy to do this;

It is necessary to cultivate specific cells, change the mode of breathing, and even to match the insulation structure between the organs....

None of these jobs can be described as 'simple'.

Moreover, if biopower generation is so easy to handle, then the main power generation in the previous life will not be thermal power, but will be completely switched to electric eels to generate electricity....

~~~~~

The research team that Nesta was in charge of before was actually divided into two parts....

One of them is the 'biogenerator' system that these witch doctors have just demonstrated.

The other part is the metal coils that Nesta made in his spare time;

At that time, he wanted to try to use the relationship between magnetism and electricity to make traditional generator sets in his previous life, and thought that once this kind of generator was successfully developed, there would be hope for the application of both hydropower and thermal power.

The problem is the lack of 'magnets', whether they are permanent magnets or soft magnets, he has not been able to use his own bioelectricity.....

The reason for this is not very clear to him, all the operations in the process are carried out according to what he has learned in his previous life, but he has not been able to give the metal rod magnetism;

Perhaps, is his 'bioelectricity' with low current intensity and low voltage not qualified?

Or maybe you just remembered the wrong steps?

But anyway, now that we have this unreliable cell generator, let's just leave the work to these witch doctors, maybe they can make magnets functionally?

And when it comes to motivation.....

In fact, in terms of the existing accumulation of materials and technologies in the Republic, there should be no problem in the manufacture of the 'steam engine';

If you have this thing, even if you don't have a generator, you can make do with it as a temporary replacement for power.

At the very least, when ploughing the field, the farm truck no longer needs to use the depleted 'troll';

No matter how strong and durable the trolls are, they are flesh and blood, and driving the machine to plow the field can still be very tiring.

After straightening out her train of thought, Nesta wrote down the relevant knowledge from her memory and gave it to two different laboratories to study.

The manufacture of magnets, and even generators, is temporarily dependent on the witch doctors;

However, the study of the 'steam engine' only needs to be left to non-caster researchers, so the main idea of Nesta is 'Can the lid be lifted when boiling water can be used to generate usable power?' The letter was sent to the Institute of Mechanical Engineering.

As for something more detailed? Let the researchers try it for themselves.....

After the two research institutes took over Nesta's handwritten book and read its contents, what kind of excitement they felt will be ignored for the time being......

At this time, Nesta's attention once again shifted to the preparation of the high-level salamander capture work.....

This 'preliminary preparation' time seems to be a little too long.....

All kinds of new projects and breakthroughs are constantly emerging, and preparations are repeatedly interrupted and action time is delayed, so what will happen this time?

The witch doctors said that 'the preparations are ready', but in any case, let's take a look......

·~~~~~

Thirty ancient war trees with a diameter of more than 15 meters and a dry body of 30 meters after the crown is removed are already on standby in the outer circle of the headquarters.

These big guys, not only can the canopy on their heads be transformed into tough vines, but also the witch doctors have added two pairs of clawed arms with an arm span of more than forty meters to the previous one;

Among them, two of them are holding the same strong shield, and the other two are holding pointed armor-piercing spears, which look majestic and seem to have more choices at both offensive and defensive ends.

Their mode of action has also changed, with the Witch Doctors abandoning the 'bipedal' scheme in favour of a multi-legged parallel mode modeled after a spider, thus giving them a better balance.

In addition, the transformation ability of the root system and canopy is also integrated into the totem, which is handed over to the internal 'body' to control, simplifying the steps for them to enter the combat state.

After Nesta's attention shifted to this side, he first arranged a simulation exercise involving the ancient war tree, the witch doctor, and the warriors, and the mother tree produced a forty-meter salamander as the object.

The scale of the exercise was large, and the participants formed a fairly good tactical cooperation;

Whether it is the state suppression spells of the witch doctors, or the heavy spear bombardment of the warriors, or the hand-to-hand combat and hard control ability of the ancient tree of war, they have all been fully reflected, thus beating the forty-meter-level salamander with question marks on its head;

Although the difference between the two sides is large, it has also played a reference role......

However, when he saw the flying heavy spears in the sky, and their range of only a few hundred meters, and the terrifying long-range attack power of the volcanic salamander, Nesta was deeply worried about the long-range projection ability of his headquarters.

Moreover, how terrifying would it be if the same attack method were put on those two higher species?

'Close combat is too dangerous, and it would be nice to have the ability to strike from a distance, even beyond line of sight. ’

The thought only swirled in his head and Nesta was reminded of what seemed to work.....

'yes, why not develop artillery? Although gunpowder technology is completely absent, ready-made and even better alternatives are clearly in sight! ’

Despite the idea in full swing, Nesta gave the participants the appropriate respect, and it was not until the end of the exercise and a visit to all the participants, including the Ancient Tree of War (Young IQ), that he gathered some of the witch doctors to hurry back and began to test the plan he had in mind.

~~~~~~

The idea is related to the emission of black prismatic gold by volcanic salamanders, and it is not complicated;

The reason why it has not been discovered before is only because of the lack of cognitive means and the failure to understand how it works.

And now, after advancing in Nesta, as long as he realizes it himself and consciously looks for it, many problems can actually find solutions in the original template of spell-like methods.

This time, for example, Nesta realized that the process of 'launching' was not easy, from the speed with which the volcanic salamander launched the Black Ridge Gold, and the horror damage it caused;

Then, with such a clear purpose of searching, and with the improvement of his cognitive ability, he quickly separated the functional areas related to 'emission' from the complete spell-like template, and figured out its specific principle through the use of them alone;

Also, I understand why the Witch Doctors didn't have the 'fire' effect that should have existed when they used the full version of the spell that had been transformed from it.

When a spell-like spell is applied to the volcanic salamander itself, its gills will first filter in the gas that precipitates from the magma, rather than the gas components in the atmosphere, which makes the witch doctors deviate from the first step, and naturally cannot obtain the corresponding effect.

The gas is then highly compressed by the corresponding part of the spell-like system, and then released in a directional manner to inflict a massive thrust on the alloy rod.

In addition, as they gulp the lava in front of them and create metal rods, the quasi-spells also act as a means of emptying the gas from their mouths.

After that, when the metal rod is fired, a special shock wave will be generated at the front of the rod to help clear the density of the magma within a certain distance, thereby reducing the resistance faced by the alloy rod when it advances.

In addition, the metal rod itself seems to have been applied, in some form, with a spell-like effect that Nesta tentatively named 'Void Breaking';

But when he wanted to study this 'void breaking' further, he found that his analysis of it was once again beyond his newly improved sensing ability;

With Nesta's current level of perception, it is impossible to separate it from the overall template of the spell-like universe, and the result can only be speculated from the phenomenon itself.

This discovery represents a lot of things, on the one hand, it seems to reaffirm the 'law has no end' that Nesta never suspected.

On the other hand, the phenomenon itself negates the existing theories that 'dead things' cannot be endowed with magical effects;

Volcanic salamanders emit alloy metals that do not have any 'living' properties, but they retain the magical effects on them;

This means that metal can actually be enchanted.....
