Chapter 13: Combat Drills and Machine Spirits
The almost obscured fire lit up in space, and it was a bronze ship using a casting machine to dismantle a triangular pyramid. On the side, the red copper is constantly recording the disassembled parts and thinking about how they should be used.
"I need to know your fighting style before I can cast it specifically." Bai Ying rubbed her hands, and countless pure white balls floated on the ground where they were, and sharp blades stretched out from them, "Don't worry, these things won't cause any damage to you as an immortal cultivator, but they will only cause scratches." ”
"Is all I have to do is destroy these things?" When Bing Shijue controlled the suspension of his body and released his divine thoughts, he also found that these white spheres could block the invasion of some of his divine thoughts, "But won't this bring economic losses?" ”
"Energy loss, that's all in the past." Bai Ying stroked her beard, "And after losing it, people can know how to cherish it, and they will try to make these things more perfect...... But when you say that, I'm curious, what method do you use to train after your technology level has regressed? ”
"Do it in a virtual world." Bing Shijue watched Bai Ying think as he controlled more orbs to emerge, "Isn't there a virtual world in the world of the dwarves?" ”
"We also had it at the beginning, but later the relevant laws were amended, and the virtual world can only be used for knowledge learning and entertainment, and the time to enter the virtual world is also strictly limited." Fang Xie on the side explained, "You can only enter it for about 2 hours a day. ”
"Why?" Bing Shijue turned around curiously.
"Because the virtual world is virtual after all." Fang Jie's gaze swept to the slightly larger geometry, "In the early stage, like you, the world inside is almost endless, and everyone can get endless resources. ”
"But the first thing that was hindered was scientific research, and the virtual world could only learn, but it could not really discover the real world. All simulations must find a corresponding in reality, understand the law, and then can be simulated. Fang Xie stretched out his hand, and piles of complex dwarven characters appeared in front of him, "And the more detailed the simulation, the more energy will be consumed." ”
"Before finding a near-endless source of energy, the dwarves of history realized that it was better to actively explore the real world than to waste it in the virtual world. So the law has been changed, and the virtual world has gradually become lonely, and now it has become one of our common entertainment methods. ”
"And it's more fun to cast in the real world than the entertainment in the virtual world." After hearing their conversation, Hongtong interjected.
"yes, I can make real things, real things that can be preserved for thousands of years." Bronze put on special glasses and looked at the disassembled mechanical spacecraft, "For example, this giant collider, I participated in the design. But in the virtual world, I can do it, but I can't keep it forever. ”
"It's also ......" Bing Shijue thought, Bai Qiuyue's research and development of the foreign land was actually a last resort, and it was able to be promoted so quickly, which was also related to the fact that human beings were forced into this situation. If there were no Luo, perhaps mankind would have been able to embark on a more solid path of development.
"So we still have to solve the matter of the Zerg as soon as possible, otherwise when the time comes, maybe the Xuanwu Alliance will embark on a not very suitable path." In contemplation, the white balls in front of Bing Shijue were all in place.
"There are more than 10,000 drones here, and more than 1,000 giant targets. Your aim is to defeat these targets in more than 10,000 drones. By the way, these are very aggressive. Bai Ying said, pulling a timer down in the air with her right hand, "Is there any more problem?" ”
"A little, actually." Bing Shijue looked at the dense white balls around him, "I wonder if with the current technology of the dwarves, I can easily annihilate the Zerg outside." Because I see that everyone seems to be relaxed, as if they are not very nervous in wartime. ”
"Of course it can be annihilated." Fang Xie said, and now he also floated to the casting hammer to assist the blue copper and red copper in disassembling and analyzing those mechanical creations, "It's just that as soon as we make a move, it will cause very exaggerated consequences, which will make the civilization that once attacked the immortal cultivators notice us, and then it will be truly finished." ”
"I'll give you an example." Bai Ying said, "Similar to our home, there are more than 10,000 pests. In the simplest and most brutal way, we can bombard the entire neighborhood and let the bugs die outright, with no other way to escape. But this approach will directly attract the attention of others. ”
"That's why I'm going to have to call in my specialist." Bing Shijue said with a smile.
"That's pretty much it." Bai Ying also smiled faintly, "Then let's start." ”
As soon as the words fell, tongues of fire erupted from the inside of more than 10,000 white spheres, and Bing Shijue also directly entered the state of divine thought explosion, soaring among thousands of blooming sparks, and behind him were smoke and dust that had not yet exploded.
"With a little bit of lethal marker paint." Bing Shijue swept back, making sure that these bullets were not completely harmless bullets, but really hit the body, which would bring tearing, "You have to be serious." ”
With a flick of his right hand, the blue-green silk thread directly condensed into a long sword, but the tip of the sword differentiated into hundreds of rays of brilliance, flying in the direction of the white ball.
"Hmm...... Is the speed at which the divine mind explodes is the speed of light? When Bai Ying controlled the sphere, she also put on special glasses, and analyzed Bing Shijue's strength among the parameters, "Adjust the flight speed and attack power of the sphere." ”
Bing Shijue, who was in such a state, naturally sensed it, and there seemed to be countless machines running wildly in the white sphere that seemed to be trapped by viscous air. The next moment, it was as if they had broken through their confinement, and they kept speeding up to get closer to themselves.
"It's a bit tough." Bing Shijue flew directly into the distance, and there was a circular target about the same size as himself waiting for him in front of him, "The speed of the ball behind is getting faster and faster...... Wait, that's okay? ”
Bing Shijue sensed that the space around these white balls behind him was distorted, and suddenly came to his face, overlapping each other into a complex net-like structure, and on top of this structure, there were countless sharp blades aimed at him, protecting the balls behind him.
In other words, if you bump into it, you will definitely be crushed.
"It's just an exercise, why bother!" Bing Shijue made a huge turn in the air, and his divine thoughts accelerated in an instant, giving himself an inclined thrust in space, and thousands of silk threads erupted from the acupoints of his fingertips, tightly winding those balls, trying to use them as a fulcrum to let him leave as quickly as possible.
"The adaptability is good, but the Zerg will be faster than this." The glasses Bai Ying was wearing also stretched out several bright blue metal pieces and stuck them on his skull, and a faint white qi rose with it.
His fingers slid swiftly through the air, almost revealing an afterimage from a normal person's point of view.
"And a little bit of attack?"
Suddenly, Bing Shijue felt the familiar near-death feeling, and the white balls that had been the fulcrum suddenly spread out, locking themselves in the center like a chain that imprisoned him.
And after that dispersion, it was the huge sphere, from which erupted the bright-colored pillars of light that he was most familiar with, and which he had ever feared, flying towards him at the speed of light.
"Think about it calmly, this is antimatter matter, but in order to ensure that it can hit the immortal cultivator at a long distance, the composition is ......" Bing Shijue struggled to recall the materials he had read in the library before, "The outer layer is the regular plasma, the middle is the vacuum, and finally the antimatter. ”
"That's all I have to try." In a short time of thinking, this pillar of light had already arrived in front of Bing Shijue's eyes, and at this time, he could only move through the void with difficulty, as if he was imprisoned in cement.
The hands were opened, and countless silk threads erupted like spider webs, but they touched this pillar of light under the action of divine thoughts, absorbing the outer layer of plasma at a slow speed.
This is the method that Bing Shijue thought of in an instant, as an immortal cultivator, he can absorb all energy, so he can use the silk thread composed of energy as a wire, try to absorb, or try to disturb the external plasma of the antimatter weapon, so that the antimatter can come into contact with the universe.
The majestic energy rushed to the periphery of the pillar of light through the silk threads of the fingertips, and the enveloped plasma also collapsed at once, allowing the antimatter in it to come into contact with the elementary particles in the universe.
The powerful energy and light that erupted from the collision of positive and antimatter with each other filled Bing Shijue's vision, but it was wrapped in silk threads, and he was only knocked away by such an impact.
With a sweep of his thoughts, Bing Shiju's fingertips were only affected by some influence, and the skin and flesh on the surface were all festering, leaving only the bones exposed, frozen by the cold cosmic space, and a layer of hoarfrost formed on them.
"And the white ball behind is too fast!" As he shot backwards, he sensed the orbs once again set up sharp blades and rushed towards his back. If you continue at this rate, you will definitely be stabbed in pair.
"Tsk." After a smack of his lips, Bing Shijue's divine thoughts directly swept every corner of his body, allowing him to complete a turn in such a heavy world, and the bones of his fingertips fell off in the great force, and the shattering and those blood also became a red-white disc, shooting towards the ball in front of him.
In the silent explosion, Bing Shijue's chest was hit again with a strong impact, which became a more rapid acceleration, causing him to turn his back to the huge ball behind him.
"And it's this attack again!" There was no need to look back, that cold feeling once again involved Bing Shijue's entire head, and at this moment, Bing Shijue didn't have time to turn around.
But with the help of divine thoughts, countless rays of light erupted from Bing Shijue's back and neck, but this time he didn't try to tear apart the outer layer of plasma, but absorbed the energy from outside the universe, grabbed the pillar of light, and threw it fiercely in the direction of the white ball.
The universe was silent, but Bing Shijue clearly felt that this pillar of light easily pierced the core of the white ball like chopsticks piercing the surface of the water, and then exploded as it was about to leave.
The explosion again made Bing Shijue fly like a rag doll in the wind, but this time he had learned the experience and lessons, with himself as the center, all 1080 acupuncture points on his body were opened, and hundreds of billions of silk threads erupted, tearing those small white balls without hesitation, using energy to smash them all, and then like an ancient siege vehicle, he accurately threw it towards those slow-moving huge spheres.
Such an attack was obviously effective, and compared to the small white balls that were close to the speed of light, those huge white balls were difficult to move, and even if they fired antimatter light pillars, they would only hit the shattered ruins.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he accelerated again directly at the speed of light, and came to the surroundings of those spheres, and his divine thoughts and silk threads were like spider silk pulling at the pillar of light, smashing fiercely towards the emitter.
Bursting and roaring again and again, the sky above the casting star bloomed with brilliant fireworks displays, and the huge casting hammer was full of colorful reflections.
However, the red copper and blue bronze, as well as Fang Jie, who was assisting on the side, only showed envy and a trace of admiration on his face, and then focused on the work at hand again. Only Bai Ying clapped her hands slightly, welcoming the arrival of the ice beginning that was covered in blood at this time, but the cyan gas lingered and began to repair her body.
"If I hadn't sensed that there was no malice in your heart, I would have suspected that you were going to kill me." Bing Shijue exhaled a breath of turbidity, bathed in the light of the stars, and all the scratched white marks on his body dissipated, and the bruises caused by the explosion began to fade.
"You immortal cultivators have very good physical fitness, and ordinary sharp weapons can't cut through your skin." Bai Ying looked at the dense scratches on Bing Shijue's body, "I lowered the energy of the antimatter weapon, even if it breaks through your body surface and causes an explosion, at most there will be a small wound, and it will not be fatal." ”
"But in this case, it also let me know your true level and fighting style, you are the kind of character who will burst out with great strength in desperate situations." Bai Ying said, her fingers adjusting the parameters in the light curtain, "The weapon cast in this way will give you good protection, and at the same time, it can be used to the maximum extent when it is transformed into a combat state." ”
As she spoke, Bai Ying also sent the adjusted light curtain to a few people next to the casting hammer, and in the silent sparks, Bing Shijue could see that the mechanical family's spaceship was disintegrated, and in the huge impact again and again, some brand-new parts were processed and put aside.
The bronze controls the hammer and hits it with a brilliant light, while the bronze stares at the drawings and directs the copper's behavior, such as how to make adjustments to the details. Fang Xie was surrounded by many white geometric robots, spraying different pigments and rays again and again, or becoming those devices that Bing Shijue couldn't understand, combining parts.
"Is that all the adjustments over?" After Bing Shijue made sure that the wounds on his body were healed, he turned to Bai Ying and asked.
"There's still some content." Bai Ying nodded to the void, and two chairs appeared on the ground of the casting star, giving them a place to sit down, "Is there anything you'd like to ask about the forging, or about the weapons you've heard about?" ”
"That's a lot, but why talk about that?" Bing Shijue looked at the old man with some confusion.
"Because depending on your style, or the style of the weapon you like, put an evolution module inside this weapon...... Of course, this thing is what elves are good at, but we have leftovers here. Bai Ying looked around and pulled out a fingertip-sized bead from the void, "This is a program written by the elf clan, of course you immortal cultivators like to call it a machine spirit ......"
"Wait, wait?" Bing Shijue was more concerned about Bai Ying's behavior that she had just pulled from the void before, "What is this?" ”
"Four-dimensional space." Bai Ying looked at Bing Shijue with some confusion, "You immortal cultivators should also have them, right?" ”
"Yes, there is, but shouldn't there be very obvious fluctuations in the four-dimensional space?" Bing Shijue still remembers that his four-dimensional space is not easy to control, especially every time he has to pull out of his own sea of knowledge, it takes a lot of energy, "And I also want to ask, what is the difference between the four-dimensional space and the sea of knowledge?" ”
"That's a good question." As soon as Bai Ying heard Bing Shijue ask like this, she came to the nature, "I also heard Fang explain that the technological level of your immortal cultivators has regressed now, and some knowledge has been lost...... Then I'll add some auxiliary modules to your machine spirit...... Oh, but I'll have to explain it to you first. ”
"The four-dimensional space is the most important content to enter the fourth-level civilization, and our three-race alliance once had such a level." When Bai Ying talked about this, her tone also had a hint of pride, "It's not the kind of simple holding a fragment, but covering your territory in the four-dimensional space, and at the same time, you must be able to travel freely and expand people's lives from another dimension." ”
"Of course, more about it, until you find out later." Bai Ying waved her hand, her fingertips clicking on the small ball a few times, "So I can freely look for things from the four-dimensional space, because every corner here is connected to the four-dimensional space." ”
"As for you immortal cultivators...... That's really a race favored by the universe. Bai Ying stretched out her hand, and the small ball glowed, and then hovered above Bing Shijue's head, "Before casting, this machine spirit will record all your words and deeds, just be natural." ”
“…… Yes. Bing Shijue raised his head, looked at the flashing small round ball, and adjusted his posture with his head, looking at himself like a small animal, and a little love unconsciously appeared in his heart, "But this machine spirit is really completely different from what I imagined...... Ah, the topic is far away, why are we immortal cultivators a favored race? ”
"Because I know the sea." Bai Ying pointed to her brain, "You immortal cultivators were originally just ordinary carbon-based lifeforms, flesh and blood lifeforms. However, it can absorb energy, and there are 1080 acupuncture points in the body, which is close to energy life. ”
"The difference with ordinary energy life is that you take all the energy as it is." Bai Ying sighed with emotion, "There is also the sea of knowledge that almost all life in the universe envy. ”
"What exactly is Zhihai?" Bing Shijue asked, "It can store things, but it is a pure spiritual space." ”
"It's one, the four-dimensional space that you immortal cultivators have a unique link, and it belongs to you alone." Bai Ying explained, "Unlike other races, you will automatically link to the four-dimensional space in the universe after awakening the sea of consciousness, and at the same time use your consciousness to cover and obtain. ”
"I don't know if you've ever experimented with it now." Bai Ying stretched out her hand, and a light curtain of the acupoints in the body of the immortal cultivator suddenly appeared in front of her, "Some people who can't become immortal cultivators, there are still acupoints in their bodies, but when they try to open it, they can't succeed, right?"
"That's true." Bing Shijue nodded, he remembered that he had listened to Lu Licheng explain similar knowledge in the picnic area.
"That's because your race of immortal cultivators is inextricably linked with the four-dimensional space, and these people are just misaligned with the links, which causes all the energy to flow away, and the sea of consciousness cannot be opened normally." Bai Ying said, "And you, the immortal cultivator of the Heavenly Spirit Root. The acupuncture points in your body are very accurate, there is no dislocation of links, and the sea of knowledge is also opened smoothly. ”
"But why, immortal cultivators have something to do with the four-dimensional space?" Bing Shijue continued to ask.
"I don't know about this, I'm a dwarf, and these things are probably the most secret information within your immortal cultivators." Bai Ying spread her hands, "Or you haven't researched it, you have to find the answer yourself." ”
"Okay, with all that out of the way, let's talk about the last point, about these weapons that you know." Bai Ying waved her hand, glancing at the flickering machine spirit above Bing Shijue's head, and also at the almost dazzling casting hammer and the parts that turned white in it, "After talking about this, you can decide the future development direction of your weapon." ”
