Delving into the Ring of Secret Faith was much more complicated than Duke had imagined, so he was unable to conquer it until he was forty years old in 4436.

His own high-level replication rings, intermediate replication rings, and even earth replication rings have been tossed several times by him.

Dismantling, recasting, dismantling, recasting.

In order to find a means that can normalize the positioning of the real spiritual sea, so as to achieve the effect of wireless transmission of information with the help of the real spiritual sea.

Pity.

Tossed back and forth, still not tossed to a satisfactory result.

However, the research on mecha has entered a high-speed stage, and it can be iterated once a year to make mecha more suitable for combat. It's just that there is still a long way to go before it can be released and officially launched into actual combat.

First, the third generation of optical core is not strong enough, and we have to wait for the fourth generation of optical core.

Second, the balance of mecha hardware is still lacking, and more man-machine practical operation is needed to repair the negative problems of various combat postures.

Overall, though, the battle mech is already on the right path, and it may not be long before it arrives.

"Actually, there's another problem, my lord." The lead professor of the mecha core laboratory, Kerich Grey Deer, said to Duke, who came to inspect the laboratory.

"What's the problem?"

"Engine."

"Engine?"

"Yes, the golem is powered by a golem core, which can be powered by burning spirit slag or directly by using a spirit storage card." "But the puppet has a single function, so it can be successfully driven with a traditional puppet core, but it is not enough to change it to our mech. ”

The mecha did evolve from a puppet, but the mecha has gone beyond the limits of a puppet.

In Duke's opinion.

A puppet is an ordinary airliner, and a mech is the most powerful fighter. Ordinary passenger aircraft only need to fly a fixed route, but fighter jets have to make a variety of maneuvers, and the demand for engines doubles.

The same is true for mechas, ordinary golems may only need to climb slopes, lift heavy objects, transport goods, etc., but mechs need to fight like knights.

There are strict requirements for the energy, durability and wear resistance of the engine released in an instant.

"The spirit crystal engine proposed before, isn't it effective?" Duke asked.

Kerich Grey Deer shook his head: "We have conducted many simulations and verifications through the 'Rubber Tooth One' superbrain, although it is superior to the general engine, but the final effect is not as good as the spirit card engine we stacked with 3 ring spirit storage cards. ”

The Spirit Card Engine, the Spirit Slag Engine, and the Spirit Crystal Engine are the three engines currently used by puppets on the market.

Duke's previous six-legged spirit golem jar was powered by a spirit card engine.

"Keep exploring, if the Spirit Crystal Engine really can't be improved anymore, then optimize the Spirit Card Engine and stack it with a higher quality Spirit Storage Card." After a little thought, Duke decided on the direction of the mecha engine.

"Yes, sir."

"Alright, you can keep busy with yours." Duke motioned for Kerridge Grey to continue working, and he went to another lab.

Unlike the mecha core laboratory set up in the mage tower, this laboratory is set up in a spirit mine.

"General Mecha Laboratory."

In a makeshift mage tower, the laboratory is hung with such a sign.

Since Duke conceived mechas, there has not only been a way for combat mechas, in fact, the better application of mecha is in the civilian field.

Therefore, the General Mecha Laboratory came into being.

It not only studies various types of civilian mecha here, but also cooperates with the mecha core laboratory to conduct various pre-research and tests on combat mechas.

Simply.

The technology of the mecha core laboratory will be castrated to a certain extent, and then put on the general-purpose type of mecha.

"Your Excellency, you're here." The Temporary Mage Tower's Guardian Mage is a spirit mage Marimo Wombat, who is also the head of the General Mecha Lab, holds the title of Puppet Scholar, and has many ideas about puppets.

"Don't disturb the staff, I'll come and take a look, receive some information and leave." Duke said.

"I will do as you command." Marimo Wombats replied.

He is not a native arcane mage of the Black Jiaohe Riverland, but the wombat family has migrated from other places and settled in Cuihai City.

And Marimo Wombat, who was prepared to wait a few more years, applied to open up the war and win a new fief for the family - the fief of the wombat family, which had been sold many years ago and became a member of the declining landless aristocracy, and it was not until Marimo's generation that it re-emerged.

Advance to the Makeshift Mage Tower, and walk through the various laboratories to see all kinds of strange mechas.

There are three main types.

Humanoid mechs, beast mechs, and alien mechs. Among them, the number of special-shaped mecha is the largest, because any mecha that does not have a fixed image will be classified as special-shaped mecha.

Walk around and inspect the flowers, write down all the information, and hand it over to Xiaoyi for processing.

Duke left the makeshift mage tower and prepared to head down the shaft to see how efficient the mining general-purpose mechs were.

"The use of mecha instead of people to mine can reduce mine casualties, and the other is to avoid miners being polluted by spiritual mines." Sitting in the mine rail train, Marimo Wombats babbled, "Now that the mine is opened with mechas, the situation of miners being infected has been greatly alleviated. ”

Needless to say, the mine casualties were accidental, and as for the miners being polluted by the spirit mine, Duke had a general understanding.

Just as an arcane mage can degenerate into a sinking demon, the veins of spiritual ore enclosed underground will also give birth to some corrupt spirits, and then the miners will be contaminated by these corrupt spirits.

In order to ensure safe mining.

Therefore, miners generally recruit ordinary people, or some 0-ring knights and the like, and will never use arcane mages to open mines to prevent them from falling into sinking demons.

Although ordinary people or 0 Ring Knight miners can't become Sinking Demons, they can easily get polluted and sick.

Once infected with this mining disease, the miners will not live for several years.

"When the Internet of Everything you envisioned is successful, you can remotely control the mecha to open the mine, and then you won't need to recruit miners." Marimo Wombat's words were spoken, and he patted Duke's ass, "Your Excellency, you have benefited all the miners. ”

"Not necessarily for the better." Duke waved his hand, reluctant to say more.

Bang, clang.

The rail train drove into the dim mine, and the dim light made the cramped mine road appear a lonely forest.

Duke didn't like it, and it reminded him of the strange scene that happened under Mine 3.

It was also the first time he had come into close contact with the gods, and of course, it was only the molten shell of the young gods.

After a while, the rail train arrived.

This is a spirit crystal distribution hall, and it is equipped with strong lights, but even if they are strong lights, the light still can't drive away the silence in the mine. Most of the light shines on the walls, and most of it is swallowed up by the walls, and not much can be reflected back.

Fortunately, in the distant mine tunnel, the rumbling sound of machinery adds a touch of excitement to the place.

"Tsk." Rats ran through the mines.

One of the mine overseers who accompanied him grinned: "This is our little fellow, and every miner will feel at ease when he sees it." ”

Duke is not surprised that the rats that everyone shouts about have become the miners' boys.

First, rats can warn of dangers in some mines, and secondly, rats are probably the only small animals that can accompany the miners.

Walking forward, Duke soon came to the edge of a large mech.

The miner was called down by Marimo Wombat, and Duke harnessed his Arcane Hand and Eye of Arcane to quickly check the mech's data. Only by getting these practical data can Xiaoyi's calculations on mecha be more accurate.

Soon, though.

Xiao Yi asked a question: "Master, the data of the Drill Bit No. 12 mecha seems to have been interfered with, and there are some inconsistencies. ”

On the Douqi holographic screen, Xiaoyi listed the data that did not match in the mecha one by one.

And explained: "It seems to be a constant amount of energy interference, which causes the data to be skewed as a whole. ”

"Energy interference?" Duke subconsciously remembered the past, "Shouldn't you encounter the gods again?" ”

Fortunately, he is now the first person under the stars, and he can even wrestle with the stars, so he is not very nervous.

Carefully perceiving the surroundings, I did not perceive the aura associated with the gods.

"Scare yourself."

When the alarm was lifted, he continued to collect data from several other mechs, and when these data were put together, he gradually discovered the clues.

Without exception, the data of more than a dozen mecha has produced some kind of overall data shift caused by energy interference.

"Analyze the reason, Xiaoyi."

"Good host, the reason is being analyzed...... Lacking the necessary samples, ask the owner to personally drive a mecha to open the mine, and connect the data to facilitate Xiaoyi to collect the energy interference that occurs in it. ”

"Okay."

Without saying a word, Duke personally boarded a mining mech, and then rumbled through the mine tunnels to dig for spirit crystals.

The drill bit in front of the mecha is extremely sharp, constantly breaking through the rocks as hard as iron, and when it encounters harder spirit crystals, it will be filtered down and sent into the ore storage box behind the mecha.

This continued to advance the mine for a full hour.

When Marimo Wombats and the others saw that Duke was so interested, they all followed behind the mecha and watched Duke open the mine with great interest.

As for Duke's guard knights, they closely patrol the surrounding area to prevent accidents.

But they didn't know that they were just an ornament for Duke to hold up the pomp and circumstance. Their monitoring of the surroundings is far less than Xiaoyi's hanging up breathing method, which resonates with the breath of all things around them and perceives them.

It can be said that within a radius of more than ten kilometers, even if it goes deep underground, every move is under Duke's control.

The danger is not close at all.

"Master." Xiao Yi finally spoke up, "We have successfully found out the source of the energy interference, the spirit crystals from the surrounding spirit mines, and a slight impact of radioactive energy has occurred, causing a small impact on the sensors of the mecha, resulting in data shifts. ”

"Radioactive energy shock?" Duke instantly thought of the radioactive elements on the earth, "In addition to emitting decaying spirituality, these spirit crystals can also be radioactive?" ”

When you think of radioactivity, Duke thinks of nuclear fusion and nuclear fission.

He had been looking for radioactive elements in various mines, trying to study nuclear fission and fusion reactions and find new sources of energy.

However, just as black powder failed, he never found the radioactive element.

In the end, I had to give up.

Unexpectedly, in the spirit mine, a trace of radioactivity was found.

At the moment, Duke set up a laboratory in the makeshift mage tower, and then went down to study the radioactive energy in the spirit crystal himself.

"It's strange that during the mining process, the spirit crystal will produce radioactivity, but when the spirit crystal is transported to the surface, the radioactivity will disappear without a trace." In the lab, Duke examined all the mined spirit crystals, none of which were radioactive.

So we still have to go back to the mine and test the fresh spirit crystal samples.

The Hand of the Arcane Weapon directly turned into a detector to conduct a subtle inspection of the freshly mined spirit crystals, and then detected a trace amount of radioactive energy impact.

"It's very subtle, and if it weren't for the strong detection ability of my arcane hand, it would be easy to miss out on these tiny amounts of radioactive energy...... It seems that not all freshly mined spirit crystals are radioactive, and only a few are radioactive. ”

Accompanied by Duke's in-depth research.

After about half a month, he finally solved the riddle of the radioactivity of the spirit crystal: "The spirit crystal is made of high-purity spiritual particles, among which there are a small number of spiritual particles, because of the intermolecular pressure of the crystallization, high-pressure spiritual particles are formed. ”

At the moment when the spirit crystal is mined, this high-pressure spiritual particle releases the energy formed by the pressure, thus forming radioactivity.

The energy released in an instant is very powerful.

It's just that the number of high-pressure spiritual particles is too small, and often among the hundreds of millions of spiritual particles, there is only one high-pressure spiritual particle mixed, resulting in weak radiation energy.

And the radiation process is short-lived, often lasting only a few minutes.

"This is obviously not the same as the radioactive elements on Earth, the nature is not the same." With the help of the arcane weapon's perception ability, Duke looked at the high-pressure spiritual particles that were releasing energy, and kept thinking in his heart, "But if you look at it as a 'battery', it seems to be quite perfect. ”

Just one high-pressure spiritual particle carries tens of thousands of times more energy than ordinary spiritual particles.

Subsequently, Duke continued to study high-pressure spiritual particles.

First of all, the elemental state excitation test of high-pressure spiritual particles is carried out, which can be divided into several types, such as earth element, water element, wind element, fire element, thunder element, light element, and dark element.

But after the high-pressure spiritual particles were excited, a scene was formed that Duke was incredible.

"This, this, this...... Is this called fission? ”

In the perception of the arcane weapon, the high-pressure spiritual particles are transitioning to the elemental state, splitting from one spiritual particle to tens of thousands of elemental particles in an instant.

Other words.

A single high-pressure spirit particle can even release an arcane ability independently.

Originally, the high-pressure spiritual particles were only powerful in energy, but now the splitting and changing in the transition state have made it turn from a huge energy into a huge matter.

Taking a deep breath, Duke continued to delve into it for a moment.

In the end, he came to the conclusion: "Spiritual particles should be in a state between energy and matter, so a high-pressure spiritual particle can be transformed into tens of thousands of elemental particles through the transition state, and when the elemental particles are cooled, it will jump into ordinary tens of thousands of spiritual particles." ”

This completes the whole process—from one high-pressure spiritual particle to 10,000 ordinary spiritual particles.

"In other words."

Duke stared at the test bench with burning eyes, where there were several high-pressure spiritual particles, bound by his powerful steady-state psionic stance to prevent the radiation of energy.

"High-pressure spiritual particles are the most perfect energy storage substances...... It can store energy to power equipment, and it can also store spiritual particles to provide spiritual energy to arcane mages...... Each of these high-pressure spiritual particles is a portable spiritual spring! ”

For a moment, Duke thought of its myriad possibilities.

Originally, it was just to extract the practical data of the general-purpose mecha, but I didn't expect to get the perfect energy source by accident, and even the engine problem of the combat mecha was solved.

"Using high-pressure spirit particles as engine energy, such engine power is enough to meet any needs of the battle mech!"

With the vector engine design of the engine, the battle mech can do any super difficult action, such as emergency stop, reverse thrust, rotation, jump, vertical bombardment, etc., and the energy is almost endless, fighting for days and nights without panting.

"Whew."

Duke put away his reverie and immediately gave instructions to Xiaoyi: "To study the production, storage, and extraction of high-pressure spiritual particles, I need the technology to be able to perfectly control high-pressure spiritual particles...... In addition, remember to help me upgrade my Energy Storage No. 1 and Energy Storage No. 2, and replace all the stored spiritual particles with high-pressure spiritual particles. ”

Energy Storage No. 1 and No. 2 are his two 5-ring arcane weapons, which are specially used to store spare psionic energy.

Now with high-pressure spiritual particles, the energy storage effect can be increased by more than 10,000 times in an instant, which is equivalent to carrying two large spiritual springs with you.

Originally, the energy stored in No. 1 and No. 2 could provide a three-to-five-day endurance in a dry environment.

Replacing it with high-pressure spiritual particles is enough for Duke to fight for hundreds of years in an environment where his spiritual energy is dry!

"Exaggerate!"

Duke calculated it carefully, and was dumbfounded.

A random spirit storage card is full of high-pressure spiritual particles, and it can even make a family not have to recharge it for decades.

"More importantly, with the technology of high-pressure spiritual particles, the spiritual fountain can no longer be a restriction on human habitat." Duke looked beyond the Temporary Mage Tower, and there was a dense forest in the distance, "The spiritual spring will be reduced to an energy mine like a spiritual mine." ”

Humans no longer need to build cities on the fountain of spirits, they can build cities anywhere.

The fountain of spirit is then mined, stored in high-pressure spirit particles, and transported to the city to provide daily needs.

"There is no doubt that I have found the Ring of Energy!" Duke's heart stirred.

……

The Circle of Secret Faith and the Ring of Energy are both in the research stage.

Duke didn't plan to make it public until he had done a thorough study, but he was spending a lot of energy on it privately.

The consumption of energy made it impossible for him to even afford the work of chairman of the Supreme Committee normally.

After all, the age of Dongwei spirituality has been vigorously unfolded, social development is changing with each passing day, and the invention of naturalism is exploding, and the number of meetings required by the Supreme Council is far more than in the previous Sersas era.

For this.

Under the Supreme Council, Duque created a new position, Executive Deputy Chairman. and handed over to a new star in the past two years.

It is worth mentioning that since Elivan, the Peronissa and Huntley Mustang, two more stars have been born in the Seven Towers Federation in the last five years. One of them, Bolagu, is also a learned sage from the Supreme Council.

It just so happened that Duke did not have time to manage the Supreme Council, so he took advantage of the situation to arrange for Boragu to be the executive vice chairman.

"Over the years, the Seven Towers Federation has promoted five stars one after another, and it has really ushered in a new climax of spiritual arcane." Sersas was quite proud of the current situation, "The development of the Seven Towers Federation is far behind other countries. ”

Duke was more conservative: "The spread of spiritual arcane knowledge has spread from the Seven Towers Federation to the outside world, and it is normal for us to be one step ahead, but soon foreign countries will catch up. ”

"I can't catch up." Sershas waved his hand, "Foreign countries are developing, and we are also developing, step by step. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and patted Duke on the shoulder: "Don't forget, we are the Six-Ring Prophet and Eight Sages with the world's first sage. ”

Duke smiled slightly, but did not speak.

But I was thinking in my heart, what is the six-ring prophet, wait a little longer, the one standing in front of you is the eight-ring prophet!

Sel'thas didn't know what Duke was thinking.

Putting his hands behind his back, he looked at the clouds, and said to himself: "Among your six rings, the Ring of Light and Wisdom have changed the society the most, and the Seven Towers Federation has established a perfect layout relying on the Ring of Light and Wisdom Ring, and then the spiritual arcane law will blow out!" ”

"Boss, how is your Corona Chapter?" Duke asked suddenly.

Serthas's face sank, and his stroking movements stiffened, and he sighed for a long time: "The old man thinks highly of himself. ”

"How?"

"It doesn't work, come on, don't ask." Serthas said impatiently, "You can understand this kind of thing as the 9th Ring Sun, the old man is no longer interested...... In the future, Hugh will mention this in front of the old man. ”

He thought that there was certainly a gap between his talent and Andrea Evening Primrose, but the gap was not big.

Andrei Evening Primrose can be the Speaker, and he can also be the Speaker, Andrei Evening Primrose can impact the 9th Ring Sun, and he can naturally walk the chapter of the Corona Sun.

After all.

With Duke's help and a more flourishing spiritual arcane, he may not be able to achieve the feat of Andrea Evening Primrose.

Who knows.

There is no use for fart, even if you have a trace of spirituality in the ring of wisdom, you still can't get through the chapter of the crown sun, so you can only get off the horse in a hurry.

Disturbed by Duke's question, Sersas didn't bother to talk to Duke anymore, and after a perfunctory sentence, he found an excuse to leave, leaving Duke alone, and continued to stay in the Offa Tower to consult the materials - only part of the information was uploaded to the cloud library, and the confidential information was still stored offline in the Offa Tower.

"Alas, I thought that Lord Serthas would be able to explore the way for me, but I didn't expect ......," Duke sighed with emotion as he held a document.

The Shell Wise Man quietly emerged and said with a smile: "Speaker Selsath, not as pure as Speaker Andrei Evening Primrose. ”

"How?"

"Andrea Evening Primrose's love for spiritual arcane is very pure, and I once saw him work in the Offa Tower for days and nights without eating, drinking, or sleeping in order to solve a problem." The Shell Wise Man whispered.

I don't know if there is emotion in the words, its tone has always been soft, and other emotions can rarely be felt.

"So what about Serthas?"

"Although Serthas also loves spiritual arcane, he is always a little utilitarian, and if he can't delve into one problem thoroughly, he will move on to the next." The Shell Wise Man said, that is, in the face of Duke, it will talk about the trivia of these big people.

"It's in line with what I know of Lord Serthas." Duke smiled.

Immediately found the information he wanted, condensed the projection of the Eye of the Mystery, and quickly recorded this information.

Soon, the time limit of the doppelganger will be scattered, and it will be scattered into dots of fluorescence.

The figure of the Shell Wise Man did not disappear immediately, but looked at the dissipating glow, and muttered to himself: "The spiritual arcane changes too fast, I can't keep up with the cognition, and I need a new tower spirit to share my responsibilities." ”

The taller this arcane tower is built, the more spiritual arcane knowledge is stored.

Even a creature like the Shell Sage who survived ancient times could hardly take on the task of maintaining many of the materials of the Offata.

"And...... The Ring of Wisdom, the Light Brain, what kind of ...... is that? World? The figure of the Shell Wise Man vanished.

The next moment, in a light brain access computer room, the figure of the Shell Wise Man was condensed.

Use your tentacles to quietly turn on a light brain, then connect to the Internet, look at the flickering images on the screen, and fall into deep thought.

Half an hour later.

It suddenly stretched out a tentacle and touched the broken part of the network cable, making contact with the light that carried the information in the network cable.

The next second.

The body of the Shell Wise Man flickered with colorful light like a marquee, and the two compound eyes were even more convex, as if they were stunned by the impact of huge information.

It was only when the tentacles unconsciously contracted and the connection with the network cable was disconnected, that the light on the Shell Wise Man's body could be considered stable.

The compound eyes also retracted.

"Whew, it's such a strong shockwave, my brain can't handle it...... Hmm, do I have a brain? "The Shell Wise Man was a little distracted.

It is the spirit of the ancients, it is the era of the soup of the ancient shell, after countless tiny "insects" were worn out by the times, a little spiritual collection remained, there is no physical appearance, only an illusory spirit, and naturally there is no brain as an organ.

It's just that the spiritual light, like consciousness, can think for itself.

That's why the Shell Wise Man has wisdom, it looks at the light brain on the screen, and suddenly realizes something: "What if the light brain becomes my brain?" ”

Thinking of this, the Shell Wise Man had an impulse that he couldn't wait.

However, it quickly suppressed the urge and shook its head to itself, "When Duke comes, I have to ask Duke." ”

The one who knows the Ring of Wisdom best, and whether the light brain can become the brain, in the cognition of the Shell Wisdom, obviously has to be Duke, the inventor of the Circle of Wisdom.

Duke must have a way to turn the light brain into its brain.
