Chapter 443: One Man Makes an Army, the Combination of Technology and Puppets
“…So, your teacher wants to create something similar to a puppet to replace the hunters to enter the virtual world to explore, or fight with virtual demons and virtual beasts?”
Hu Lao touched his chin and floated in the air. After listening to Xu Ye’s story, he was thoughtful.
“Do you have any clues?” Xu Ye asked.
“How could I have any clues?” Hu Lao’s pot body rotated and lay sideways in the air, “I’m just a pot spirit.”
“But——”
He changed the subject, as if he thought of something, “There should be three points that bother your teacher.”
“The first is how to mass-produce creations similar to explorers.”
“The second is how to stabilize the operation of energy so that you can enter and exit the virtual world freely.”
“The third is how to carry weapons that can cause damage to virtual beasts in batches.”
“Isn’t that right?”
Xu Ye nodded slightly.
“Then I think you can solve the first two problems.” Hu Lao picked his nose and answered casually.
“I think so too.” Xu Ye walked to the side of the puppet house and looked up at the puppets standing not far away.
The existence of the puppet house can produce puppets in large quantities, and the puppets can also enter and exit the virtual world on their own.
With the blessing of the puppet house, it will not have the problem of energy consumption.
There are only two points that need to be noted. One is that the materials for making puppets are rare.
Only with the help of materials unique to the virtual world can suitable puppets be made.
The second is the control method of the puppet.
Even if he can release the control authority to others, each puppet can only be operated by one person.
And if a person does not have energy, he cannot connect with the puppet at all.
This is obviously different from the autonomous control device envisioned by Master Qigong.
"But you suddenly entered the world in the pot, which means that you already have ideas and thoughts, right?" Hu Lao turned his head to look at Xu Ye and asked with a raised eyebrow.
"There are indeed some." Xu Ye nodded.
His idea had already sprouted when he was in the technical department.
After a few days of systematic study, the originally vague ideas have become clearer and clearer.
"I think... maybe technology can be integrated on the puppet to make it more powerful."
"What do you mean?" Hu Lao was aroused by Xu Ye and asked curiously.
In all these years in the world of Hu, he never thought that the puppet technology, which was already very perfect, could be further improved.
"Regarding the puppet as a mechanical creation, I use my repair hands to attach the technology that could originally be attached to mechanical creations to them!"
Xu Ye's eyes flickered, and he excitedly expressed his thoughts.
At the same time, he did what he said, and a material bag appeared in his hand with his right hand.
This was a special material bag given to him and Fang Tianyu by Master Qigong. It contained the basic materials needed for mechanical creations, specially for the two to practice.
He walked to the side of the [Steel] puppet, opened the material bag, and quickly skillfully selected hundreds of parts from it.
After using the Naihe Water, his memory and learning ability have been greatly improved.
During these three days of study, he has also remembered most of the parts and their functions very clearly.
Hu Lao Piao was standing nearby, watching Xu Ye's movements intently, and was also looking forward to what the puppet would be modified into.
The puppet house basically uses the same template for the manufacture of puppets.
Depending on the raw materials, the puppets' facial shapes are also different, but they are generally made based on the human male model.
What Xu Ye has to do now is to add some of his own understanding to this inherent template.
After quickly formulating a modification plan, he started to repair the steel puppet.
White silk threads spread from the palm of his hand, connecting hundreds of parts on the surrounding ground, and began to piece them together quickly according to his plan.
For a moment, the puppet, which was originally tightly fitted, actually cracked on its own, allowing those parts to drill into its body and be placed in its body in an extremely round manner.
More than ten minutes later, as the last piece of parts fell, the steel puppet was completely modified and landed steadily on the ground.
At this moment, it has a retractable sword blade installed in the left arm on the original basis, and the right hand has been modified into an energy storage cannon.
Surprisingly, these weapons and materials seem to be on the steel puppet, and fit with its body without any sense of disobedience.
Under the influence of the repair hand, the steel puppet has been repaired from an "incomplete" state to its current "complete" state.
"What did you install?" Hu Lao looked at the modified steel puppet in surprise.
"Some basic weapon systems and autonomous control systems." Xu Ye touched his chin and answered thoughtfully.
A control screen appeared in his hand at some point.
Turning on the screen switch lightly, the steel puppet's eyes opened, a flash of white light flashed, and it was actually activated remotely!
Hu Lao was stunned!
He could confirm that he and Xu had not connected their consciousness to the steel puppet.
With the controller in Xu Ye's hand alone, the puppet could be remotely controlled!
Then, Xu Ye began to control it on the screen at a high speed.
The steel puppet immediately stood still and made various movements!
These movements were difficult to make even if they were controlled by consciousness.
It shuttled rapidly through the world in the pot, the sword blade in its left hand stretched out and swung towards the ground, a layer of sword energy burst out, cutting a crack in the ground.
While turning in the air, the energy-accumulating cannon in its right hand blasted out a beam of light, exploding with brilliant light.
"My idea is indeed correct!" Xu Ye controlled the steel puppet to fall to the ground, and the excitement in his eyes was hard to suppress.
The idea of combining technology with puppets that he envisioned was successfully realized by him.
If it continues to be improved, the limitation of only being able to control one puppet at a time will be lifted.
In the future, it will also be possible to add autonomous action instructions, so that even if manual control is not required, the puppet can attack and pincer attack the enemy!
If it can be strengthened with the original power of the spirit house and the virtual beast in the later stage.
He alone is equivalent to having a large army of puppets.
Even if one day in the future, the Dragon Kingdom really goes to war with the virtual demon, he can form an army alone, cooperate with many puppets, and completely defeat the virtual demon!
"My friend." Hu Lao's voice came, "Your idea is good, but it still can't solve your teacher's last problem."
"Even if you find the Soul Gathering House, it is impossible for you to make a large number of puppets in a short time."
"How to mass-produce weapons that can hurt the virtual demons is still a problem."
"Besides that..."
His words seemed to pour a bucket of cold water on the excited Xu Ye, calming him down.
"Have you ever considered the problem of puppet manufacturing materials?"
