Chapter 263: Elf Embryo Cultivation Warehouse and Cave Wolf Demon Crystal (Asking for a Monthly Pass~)
The cultivation of tree elves can be said to be highly dependent on the supply of high-energy cell sap;
For a long time before, the output share of the Cave Wolf Cell Liquid was extremely limited, and all of them added up to only enough for the simultaneous breeding of thousands and hundreds of elves.
After deducting the share of the 'implant cultivation' and 'higher energy reserves', the Republic will only be able to breed elves at a rate of 1,000 per decade.
Not so long ago, the witch doctors used an all-encompassing method of pressing, which doubled the yield of cell sap in a short period of time, to nearly 2,000 per decade in terms of fertile size.
However, the bombardment of heavy artillery and armor-piercing guns was very inconvenient after all, and then ushered in a new dawn, so the headquarters quickly abandoned this method of increasing production, and only used this method to collect a certain amount of cell fluid in a short period of time, and kept all of them as 'high energy reserves'.
This so-called 'dawn' refers to the use of high-level magic crystals to break the defense....
Now, the witch doctors have finally used this method to break open the head of the cave wolf, exposing its relatively weak brain to the sight, and many things have changed because of it;
This change is significant enough to be said to have fundamentally promoted the development of the republic in all aspects.....
~~~~~~
What is known is that the Cave Wolf's brain is far less tough than the skin, muscle, and bones, and its 'protective power' does not show the same resistance as the witch doctors' new methods.
Therefore, when the specially designed 'Pumping Ribbon' was put into operation, the witch doctors were the first to reap the rewards of high-energy cell sap production, resulting in a sudden increase in the yield of 8,000 embryos in the mother tree.
This level of increase will undoubtedly greatly strengthen the speed of the accumulation of strength in the headquarters, which will cause many previous speculations to change drastically.
But this is not the end, the witch doctors, who already have the ability to break through the surface of their bodies, have turned their attention to the area of the cave wolf's viscera, which is also relatively fragile, and decided to make persistent efforts to turn it into a new supply base for cell fluid.....
They then targeted the boneless area of its abdomen and attacked it for several days before they finally broke open its fur and muscles with the combined efforts of nearly all the witch doctors, exposing its internal organs to the horizon.
The viscera are indeed as soft as the witch doctors imagined, and their toughness is only stronger than the brain, and when faced with the witch doctors' new 'mining' technology, they are also as defenseless as the unguarded yellow flower girl....
However, the cave wolf was already wounded, and the method used by the witch doctors when they broke open the belly was a magic crystal attack from a high-level salamander, which further deepened the erosion of the cave wolf's body.
Therefore, after weighing the balance between its regeneration ability and sequelae, the yield of high-energy cell fluid that can be provided by the cell population of various viscera has been limited to a certain extent, and the share of only about 12,000 has been increased.
More can actually be mined, but once the current amount is exceeded, the balance between injury and regeneration will be broken, and the cave wolf will gradually move towards weaker due to the superposition of new and old injuries;
This process may not come to an end until it lasts for a long time, but it is also a means for the Republic to catch the fish, so the witch doctors will take it when they see it, and control the extraction speed within this range.
At the same time, the witch doctors stopped the previous method of extracting cell sap with high energy consumption and low efficiency, and converted the nutrients originally required into energy consumption for the new functional area, so as to achieve a high-energy cell sap production of 20,000 shares under the joint supply of the brain and viscera.
In addition, the exploration of the Cave Wolf Crystal was also completed in a few months of research, and the witch doctors also gained new hole cards.....
Unlike the physical-entity-based attack pattern of the High Salamanders through the Black Ridge Gold, the effect of the Cave Wolf Crystal seems to be closer to the form that imaginary 'magic' should have.
Among them, the one with the lowest threshold and the easiest to be excited is a seemingly unpretentious, but in fact a powerful 'wind blade'.
According to the actual test, it was found that the full output of the three first-order witch doctors was the minimum standard for stimulating the effect of the magic crystal (the minimum excitation standard for the high-level salamander magic crystal was five first-order witch doctors);
When the number of participating witch doctors is less than this number, or when the number is just reaching the target, but it is not 'full force', the magic crystal will be like a bottomless pit, constantly 'devouring' the witch doctors' physical energy, but will not produce any real magical effect.
However, this kind of 'devouring' is actually only an illusion, and the reason for this situation is actually the magic crystal itself.
The witch doctors have long understood that the magic crystal does not have the effect of 'energy storage', and the physical strength input within it will only continuously promote the operation of the natural disturbance of the spell-like system;
When this input speed cannot reach the excitation standard, the physical strength will be consumed in the endless 'running', resulting in an idling phenomenon similar to 'light thunder but not rain'.
Therefore, only when the minimum of three first-order witch doctors uses their highest output efficiency to supply 'mana' to 7 lights, will the spell-like effect in the Cave Wolf Crystal be truly activated....
The priority of the effectiveness of the spells in this magic crystal also follows the rule of 'simple and rough first', and the first thing that can be stimulated is a 'Wind Blade';
This 'Wind Blade' may seem 'unremarkable', but it has a powerful damage effect, and the first blow alone flattens all objects above the ground in a straight line of kilometers ahead.
Let's take a look at its damage pattern....
The target will first be cut off neatly, and there will be cyan lines that spread around the periphery centered on the cutting surface, and then in the following time, they will deal a steady stream of cut-like damage to the area where the lines exist.
It has been observed that this continuous cutting injury is very similar to that of a 'rootless tree', and that there is no visible or audible source of the injury at the time of its effects;
However, the notch-not, not-so-slight cuts, appear as if they appeared for no reason, causing real damage to the area where the lines are attached.
And perhaps due to the difference in the characteristics of the damage, the witch doctors saw the process of its effect clearly this time....
First of all, the armor as a target has a nutrient enrichment phenomenon in the area where the grain exists.
secondly, there will be traces of wilting in the previous nutrient-rich areas.
Again, deep fractures appear in the withered areas;
Eventually, the fracture deepens and separates from the body.
This process occurs in the whole, in the part, in the part of the part, and finally the whole piece of armor becomes first into pieces, then into fragments, then into fragments, and then into dust;
In the end, the dust was blown up by the wind, or if the texture was still working, in short, it completely disappeared from view just like the effect caused by the previous high-level salamander magic crystal.
It wasn't until the witch doctors took some of it to the microscope and observed it that they discovered that the powder had been suffering from 'cutting' until it finally exceeded the observation limit of the light microscope.....
Based on the series of phenomenal changes that occurred before and after the 'cutting', the witch doctors made this inference;
In other words, the source of the energy generated by the damage is also in the injured target's body, and the energy inside it will be transformed into the cornerstone of the texture effect in some form;
In other words, the texture uses the energy of the affected target to damage the target itself until it is finally 'eaten and wiped clean'.
Among them, the selection of 'targets' is not limited to 'living organisms', and even metals and rocks, which were previously considered to be 'energyless dead bodies', are included.
However, the diffusion of texture in non-living organisms seems to be naturally blocked by the distinction between substances, and it is impossible to rotate the texture and effect of different areas.
In addition, the rate at which the texture 'erodes' to non-living organisms is also reduced, and it is not as easy to turn to ash as living organisms.
On the one hand, this observation made the witch doctors more aware of the parameters of this type of spell more clearly and intuitively;
On the other hand, it also overturned the 'energy concept' that had been shaken by the volcanic salamander's 'metal enchantment' ability.
Under the conjunction, the witch doctors no longer associate 'no energy' with 'dead bodies', but instead put forward the 'theory of the ability of all things', believing that energy is not unique to living organisms;
This viewpoint, combined with the chemical and optical theories that have become more mature, further derives applications such as 'chemical bonds' and 'infrared radiation', or means of observing the energy of 'dead matter', which once again contributes to the road of science.
Of course, the observation results of the magic crystal casting itself are also increasing simultaneously.....
Just like when they were studying the High Salamander Crystal before, the Witch Doctors changed the activation time and type of spell-like spells by stacking the number of Witch Doctors, and successively reproduced several types of attacks derived from the Cave Wolf Crystal.
When the number of witch doctors in charge of energy input increases to 30, the upper limit of the first time compression of the wind blade is touched, and its excitation speed is reduced to about 40df/time;
Later, as the number of witch doctors gradually increased from 31 to 50, the strength of the 'Single Wind Blade' was gradually increased, showing a considerable increase in terms of power, rate of fire, and range.
Then, as the number of 51-70 Witch Doctors increases, the strength of the Wind Blades returns to the level when they were not initially increased, but the number of Wind Blades begins to increase exponentially, until the last 70 Witch Doctors work together to urge them, and they are strengthened to the point where they can fire hundreds of Wind Blades in unison;
When 71 Witch Doctors entered the battle, the strength of the single wind blade immediately returned to the highest level after being strengthened, and during the period when the number of Witch Doctors gradually increased to 90, its power did not increase, but its rate of fire began to increase, and finally reached the point of roughly 15df/round;
Reaching the 91-110 Witch Doctor's growth range, the activated spell-like spell was transformed into 'Wind Blade' again, and while maintaining the previous maximum level of hundreds of Wind Blades firing in unison, the activation time was reduced to 'instantaneous' along the way;
When the number of Witch Doctors increased from 110 to 127, the triggered spell-like spell was changed to 'Single Wind Blade' again, and its strength remained at the highest level it had previously reached, but gradually reduced its rate of fire to the point of 'instant'.
At this point, the verification process was forced to end as the maximum number of witch doctors had been reached......
In addition, the verification was not air-launched, and the target was changed many times during the period.
In the process, in addition to the necessary conventional targets such as 'Mother Tree Heavy Armor' and 'Steel and Wood Heavy Armor', the cave wolf itself and two higher salamanders also sacrificed themselves to become targets.
During this period, although the attack mode and attachment texture mode of action are different, the verification conclusion in terms of armor protection effect is not too different from that of the high-level salamander magic crystal;
The comprehensive results show that only the 'Mother Tree Heavy Armor' has a certain amount of countervailing power, and it can withstand the full force of the Cave Wolf Demon Crystal at this stage by stacking three layers of armor;
'Steel and wood reloading' is second, and it can only withstand a blow when stacking 9 layers;
The 'unarmored' mother wood, steel, wood, and wood, which did not have the slightest ability to protect themselves, were cut in two and turned into fly ash in a short period of time at different speeds.
In this, there is no need to mention the extremely sharp direct attack, and the subsequent additional effects alone are beyond the limits of the existing creations of the witch doctors;
In the face of this kind of continuous damage, all armor and special wood can only delay the damage effect, but cannot completely eliminate it, and even the 'balance stagnation' after the 'delay' cannot be achieved, unless the power consumption is increased to the damage pipe configuration....
Only the body of a higher salamander can resist and even suppress it, but it is also impossible to do it, or it is difficult to achieve 'complete elimination';
This can be seen by looking at the injuries on the body of the higher salamanders....
According to speculation, the conflict between the higher salamander and the cave wolf occurred two or three hundred years ago, but even after such a long time, the dark cyan lines on its body still exist;
Not even to mention subsided, it further weakened one of them to the same way it had been when it was captured.
The threat of its effect can be imagined......
After observing and using two types of high-level magic crystals, the witch doctors initially divided their damage effects into two categories according to the order of effect and the mode of effect:
The first category is the direct damage caused by the black edge gold and the wind blade, such as penetration and cutting;
The second type is additional damage with textures.
After that, the witch doctors first borrowed the Cave Wolf Crystal as a means of attack, opened the braincase of another high-level salamander, and obtained another high-level magic crystal;
And when they used the three High Magic Crystals to cross-attack their respective contributors, the Witch Doctors noticed a little different....
The first type of effect in the attack will deal damage regardless of the difference between the contributors of the magic crystal;
However, the second type of effect will be avoided by the contributors of the magic crystal.
For example, in the case of the 'Wind Blade' for the Cave Wolf, the first type of effect also had an effect on the Cave Wolf itself, but the second type of effect was lost on its body, and the dark cyan pattern did not generate at its wound as before.
On the other hand, on the other hand, on the side of the higher salamanders, when they face an attack from the Cave Wolf Crystal, not only will the first type take effect, but also the carrier of the second type of effect will also be formed.
The same is true for the two High Salamander Crystals in cross-attacks, with the first type of penetrating damage being applied to all three higher creatures, but the second type of erosion circumventing the contributor itself and only attaching to the other two creatures.
In addition, the speed and intensity of the second type of effect also seem to vary significantly depending on the adherent....
For example, the Crystal taken from High Salamander 2 will have a second-class effect on both High Salamander 1 and Cave Wolf;
However, the former's resistance is significantly stronger than the latter's, and after taking the same amount of attack, the former will be left with a smaller texture area and will fade, while the latter will be left with a relatively larger texture and no fading will be found.
The exact mechanism of this is not yet known, but the witch doctors have only tentatively attributed it to the fact that the two higher salamanders have some kind of similarity, and the additional effects of their attacks will be canceled out by this.
It doesn't matter what the reason is, because this does not affect the witch doctors' plans to use the three magic crystals, among them, the first application target of the wind wolf magic crystal is the two high salamanders....
Disembowelment, belly dissection, and brain cutting not only further increase the degree of injury, but also improve the supply capacity of high-energy cell fluid.
These extra cells will be used to conduct Monster Upgrade Cultivation Experiments, will be used to synthesize High Energy Nutrient Concentrates, and the excess will be stored for the day when it needs to be activated in the future.
At this point, the effect verification test of the two types and three magic crystals has come to an end.
~~~~~
It only took about a few months to verify the effectiveness of the magic crystal, and then the process of adding embryo culture chambers to the three mother trees took even longer.....
In the first 15 months, the Witch Doctors increased the number of pods for one of the Mother Trees to 5,000 at a rate of 350 per month.
At this time, the output of the cell fluid of the cave wolf can already supply 20,000 embryos to grow together at the same time;
However, in order to realize the 'National Elf Plan' as soon as possible, the witch doctors gritted their teeth and endured the distress to pay 5,000 shares of supply, and all of them were included in the 'implant' cultivation plan.
As a result, the first batch of 5,000 pods, which were supposed to be used to breed tree elves, were transformed into chambers that could be converted into embryo pods again in the future, but are now temporarily used for implant cultivation, in the hope of speeding up the cultivation of implants in the headquarters.
It is known that elf embryos are nurtured for ten years, which are seven years for embryonic development and three years for infant growth, and a continuous supply of high-energy cell fluid is required to make them develop healthily as planned.
However, implant cultivation is relatively time-saving and labor-saving, and the cavern wolf cell fluid required during the period has now dropped to a very low level after more than ten years of exploration.
If compared horizontally, the resources needed to supply one dendritic embryo in the same time period can be used to culture 5 sets of implants;
If we make a vertical comparison on the time axis, the growth and improvement process of a set of implants only takes about half a year, and the amount of resources required is naturally greatly reduced on a horizontal basis.
After dividing the culture chamber and transforming the nutrient supply and distribution mode in the culture chamber, a culture chamber is enough to support the breeding of 10 sets of implants at the same time.
It's just that for the convenience of changing back to the elf cultivation cabin in the later stage, the breeding scale in one cabin is limited to 5 sets at the same time.
Therefore, the 5,000 cultivation pods added by the witch doctors for the cultivation of plant bodies can actually provide the implants needed for the trolls' advancement at a high speed and in a steady stream at a rate of 25,000 sets per half a year.
At present, there are less than 50,000 unimplanted trolls left in the Republic, which means that it will only take about less than one year for the headquarters to complete all the implantation work with the assistance of the stylized totem tree;
After that, the production capacity of this 5,000 share can be transferred to the vast majority of the elf cultivation, thus increasing the number of tree elves produced by the headquarters again.
Previously, due to the lack of high-energy cell fluid production, it took nearly 15 years to complete the implant access to less than 20,000 trolls due to the lack of high-energy cell fluid production.
The difference between the two can be noticed, and the problem mainly arises in the distribution of the share of cell fluid;
Because of the lack of production, the implant targets can only be screened based on merit, knowledge, cultivation preparation, etc., resulting in the speed has not been improved.
Earlier, the parliament had made a judgment that 'the whole people will be elven in 50 years', which is obviously a typical inference before the increase in the production of high-energy cell fluid, which is obviously out of place for the new situation at this time;
Therefore, in the current and new situation, the Rune Council has updated this timeline again, and made a conservative judgment and requirements of 'achieving the elvefulness of the whole people within 15 years'....
After completing the preparatory work for the goal of 'implant production', the Cave Wolf Cell Fluid was left with a share of about 14,000 elven embryos;
By this time, however, all accumulations in the Department's stock, including semi-vegetative placenta, had been declared depleted;
If you want to increase the scale of cultivation, you can only remanufacture many of the supporting facilities used in the cultivation cabin.....
Fortunately, the application of totem technology allows the witch doctors not to need to do it themselves in all processes, they design different totem trees for different components, so as to achieve their differentiation and cultivation;
After that, as long as the graftable properties of the magic plants are reused, they can be combined into the mother tree body in different categories to become a cultivation cabin and related supporting components.
As a result, the production capacity of the incubator has been increased, and the monthly output has been gradually increased to 1,000 units with all the components combined.
But after all, the final 'grafting' process still needs to be done by the witch doctors themselves, so the actual increase rate of the training pod is still limited to 350 seats per month.
As a result, it took another 37 months for the witch doctors who were assigned to this task to finally realize the idea of 'making the Mother Tree 1 have 20,000 cultivation pods'.
