"Is it hard to understand?" The Atomic Venerable smiled, "This transcendent path I designed is unique to scientific researchers, at the cost of giving up combat effectiveness, in exchange for what we need more. ”

"I just...... Somewhat surprised. "I've never seen such a way of awakening. Can researchers follow this path? ”

The Atomic Venerable smiled and shook his head, "Not really. Most researchers are unable to raise their self-confidence to the level of 'will', especially in a field like 'scientific research', where there is a great possibility of confirmation or falsification of a proposition.

"According to the deity's inference, scholars who embark on this path, perhaps if they make a mistake once in their research careers, will waver in their will and lose the opportunity to move forward forever."

"Sounds like it's not easy." Yan Lu Ge said.

"In the view of the deity, it is not easy for a combat-type transcendent who needs to hone his fighting skills and experience his will." The Atomic Venerable smiled slightly, and changed his words, "Don't talk about that. You've come just in time, and the deity will show you something. ”

One of His Holiness's disciples walked up with a box in his hand and opened it in front of the two of them.

Inside the box was a box of bullets of different calibers, but upon closer inspection, these bullets were slightly different from ordinary bullets, with dense runes engraved on the surface.

"A spiritual bullet engraved with the 'explosion' rune, the kind that can be used by both transcendents and ordinary people." The Atomic Venerable said, "The point is that it was not made by the Transcendent, but by the Rune Inscription Machine-Explosion Type I. ”

Yan Luge's eyes lit up: "You made the rune inscription machine?" ”

"The deity apprentice made it." The Atomic Venerable didn't take credit for it, he smiled and pointed to the young disciple holding the box in front of him, and said gently, "Come, tell me about your research results." ”

"Yes." The young man respectfully said, "I studied the Tower of Babel's artificial mind 'Taling No. 1' and got inspiration from it......

You must know that things like spiritual bullets are not easy to do, and their concepts are equivalent to magic weapons.

The core of the use of spiritual power is "will", and cold human creations such as knives, guns, and bullets are similar to stones, so naturally there can be no will, and there is no way to attract spiritual power to attach.

Thus, at the end of the Age of Cultivation, a great invention was born, that is, the twelve-based rune system and the artificial mind composed of runes.

Runes are equivalent to 0s and 1s in modern program code.

The artificial mind is the equivalent of modern computer software.

Through the rune system, cultivators have created imitation "wills" - that is, artificial minds, and used them to deceive spiritual power, so that the originally inanimate magic weapons and magic circles have obtained a certain amount of authority to use spiritual power, and then let low-level transcendents and even ordinary people can use power that does not belong to them through magic weapons - from this point of view, the significance of the rune system is no less than that of the industrial revolution.

In fact, the Blackstone Research Institute does refer to it as the "Rune Revolution".

If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the gods, taking away the source of spiritual power and destroying the rune revolution and even the entire transcendent civilization that was still in its infancy, then the ancient cultivators might really have the opportunity to achieve an extremely brilliant civilization with the help of the rune system, and the advanced degree and development potential were no less than the modern scientific and technological system.

However, there is another limitation to the rune system of the cultivation era, that is, it must be inscribed by a transcendent person.

The essence of the artificial mind is an imitation of the "will", which is the will of the person who inscribed the rune itself.

Or to put it another way, the rune engraver can use the rune system to "describe" a part of his own will and engrave it on the object.

Transcendents who can "fly" can engrave "flight" on the sword through runes, making the sword a magic weapon - a flying sword.

Transcendents who can "raise temperature" can engrave "raise temperature" on the Dan furnace through runes, making the Dan furnace a magic weapon - automatically heating the Dan furnace.

At the same time, the more complex the transcendent abilities and wills, the more difficult it is to describe them in runes; The more complex the object, the more difficult it is to engrave the runes.

The rune descriptions of the same star level "Sugar Eating Salt" and "Life Mimic" are not of the same order of magnitude at all, if the former can be written on a single piece of A4 paper, then the latter needs to be piled up with A4 paper on the surface of Aqua Blue Star to increase the radius of the entire planet.

The difficulty of inscribed runes on flying swords and bullets of the same level is also very different, if the difficulty of the former is similar to cutting diced radish, then the difficulty of the latter is similar to carving a Forbidden City on radish seeds.

If you replace the object with the inscription with a large machine...... That's almost the level of tattooing a green dragon tattoo on the cells of a radish.

However, for the Yanlu Song and the Blackstone Research Institute, the biggest problem encountered in the study of the rune system is not "difficulty", but "mass production".

The restriction that only the transcendent could use runes to make artifacts was the biggest obstacle to mass production.

Let's just say that there is such a thing as "spiritual power bullets", which has long been available in the research institute, but they are all hand-rubbed by a few transcendents who study runes, but at present, only a few transcendents who focus on firearm skills in the action team will distribute them, because the number of spiritual bullets is too small, the cost is too high, and the cost performance is too low.

How to break through this dilemma and how to mass-produce spiritual power bullets, this topic was thrown by Yan Luge to the three research departments with strong creativity, divergent thinking, and parallel research of science and technology and transcendent research.

The Venerable Atomic Energy took the lead in proposing a concept: if you need to mass-produce a spiritual bullet engraved with an "explosive" rune, then first design a transcendent ability called "Rune Inscription", so that a person can awaken both the "Rune Inscription" and the "Explosion" ability and become an extraordinary, create a mechanical magic weapon that can use "Rune Inscription" to engrave "explosive" runes, and then let this mechanical magic weapon replace the transcendent and complete the work of inscribed the "explosive" rune on the bullet.

It sounds like a matryoshka tongue-twisting concept, but this "mechanical magic weapon that can use 'rune inscriptions' to engrave 'explosive' runes" has actually been created, and it is the "Rune Inscription Machine - Explosion Type I".

A top-notch magic weapon that combines the wisdom of cultivation civilization and technological civilization.

A large piece of equipment that can be filled with spiritual power potions when it is connected to the power supply can produce spiritual power bullets-explosion type I day and night.

As soon as this piece of equipment comes out, the few transcendents in the research institute who are rubbing spiritual power bullets in their hands can retire.

Yan Luge is really impressed by the three parts of the study.

His decision to recruit the Venerable Atomic Energy was indeed correct.

"Are you still satisfied?" The Atomic Venerable asked with a smile on his face.

Yan Luge came back to his senses: "Of course. ”

"In that case, when can you fulfill our agreement back then?"

"Huh?" Words and songs are instantly sluggish.

If he remembered correctly, the Atomic Venerable had agreed to work for him in order to have him catch a living deity and study it......
