My blood regeneration is 100 million points faster

Danielle sent a summary report of the actual training to each member. There are several important pieces of information.

…

[Actual combat environment] Aluminum belt training ground

[Actual Combat Targets] Three different styles of deep sea monsters

[Actual duration] 0 hours, 45 minutes and 15 seconds

[Yuanneng circuit] 3000/15000

[Details of energy consumption]

1. In silent state, the total consumption is 2300 points, accounting for about 20%.

2. Combat status, actions such as moving, locking on enemies, adjusting shooting angles, etc., consume a total of 4,000 points, accounting for about 33%.

3. In combat state, it emits detection sound waves, which consumes a total of 1,000 points, accounting for about 8%.

4. In combat state, launching mines consumes a total of 4700 points, accounting for about 40%.

…

In a high-pressure, dark environment, Huberon's battle puppet consumed 12,000 points of elemental energy in 45 minutes. In simple conversion, 15,000 points of elemental energy can last for about an hour.

If the actual combat environment is placed on the ground, the actual combat time can be extended to 5 times, that is, 5 hours.

Considering that the deep-sea environment is more complex, the one-hour battery life is obviously quite limited.

Hillenburg read the brief report written by Danielle and asked:

"So you think the combat puppet's endurance in the deep sea will become our shortcoming, right?"

"Yes, team leader." Danielle nodded, the ponytail behind her head swaying up and down, and she said:

"Heubron and I have discussed this many times. Although the existing deep-sea endurance capability has exceeded that of the military's front-line combat puppets, it may not be enough if used to participate in competitions.

"I got some information. The grass-based combat puppet developed by Golden Wattle Flower can replenish elemental energy during war. Through the built-in elemental energy recharger, it absorbs free elemental energy from the environment to replenish its consumption."

The team members present all showed shocked expressions...

Xia Zuo is no exception.

The total battery life of a combat puppet is calculated like this.

The energy circuit in its body can store elemental energy equivalent to the controller's energy fence.

Hubron's energy barrier is 15,000 points, so his battle puppet can store the corresponding amount of energy before the war begins.

For beginners in the alchemy of strange objects, a wonderful question will arise at this time:

Why not expand the capacity of the energy circuit and store more elemental energy?

Putting aside the factor that after the capacity is expanded, the volume of the energy circuit will increase accordingly.

The only reason for not doing this is that the energy circuit that stores elemental energy will cause a certain degree of energy dissipation when the circuit gate is opened for secondary charging.

It's like continuing to inflate an already inflated balloon. When the air needle is inserted into the valve, the air will spurt out uncontrollably.

However, the energy dissipation will be more severe. Basically, 30% to 50% of the stored energy will be dissipated before the second charging officially starts.

The larger the capacity of the energy circuit, the more serious the energy dissipation will be.

It is not difficult to replenish elemental energy during war.

Injecting energy concentrate into the battle puppet, or directly driving the elements in the spiritual ocean to output energy, can replenish elemental energy during combat. This is inefficient, and only about 50% to 70% of the energy can successfully enter the energy circuit.

Within the Alchemy School, there is a mainstream research idea:

If the dissipated elemental energy can be captured and recharged into the energy circuit, it is equivalent to reducing energy dissipation and improving the efficiency of secondary charging.

The elemental energy recharger was recorded on the desk of each rare object alchemist and regarded as a long-term goal to follow and study.

Now, Danielle mentioned that the Golden Wattle Sisters, an association of herbal alchemists, actually developed an energy recharger...

Hillenburg felt a little surprised and asked:

“Danielle, is this news reliable?

"Very reliable, team leader." Danielle nodded, "This is no longer a secret in the Golden Wattle Utopia. It's just that the Federation is too far away from there, so the information was not obtained in time."

Hillenburg took out a secret message ring and said, "I have to send a secret message and find an intelligence broker to find out. Danielle, you go meet the broker when the time comes. If the grass-based magic alchemy is really developed, With the advent of the Yuan Neng recharger, the outer hall teaching area will definitely be bustling with activity in the future."

"Okay, team leader."

Hillenberger is right, this will make waves.

The existing alchemy of rare objects is based on ores and gems. The alchemical products are basically metal materials, or alloy materials mixed with metals and non-metals.

This kind of strange object alchemy of metal system is called mineral-based strange object alchemy.

Grass-based rare item alchemy, as the name suggests, uses magic grass and medicinal herbs as the main materials, and the alchemical products are mainly plant materials.

If the energy recharge device developed by the Golden Wattle Sisters can be verified in actual combat in this research competition, there will be several more grass-based rare item alchemy masters in the outer hall teaching area.

From the perspective of creating a school of alchemy, the Golden Wattle Alchemist is very similar to the Hillenberg Group. The former wants to create grass-based alchemy of rare objects, while the latter aims at ocean alchemy.

Hillenburg quickly turned the pick, made an appointment with the intelligence broker, and then put away the secret message ring.

"Okay, guys, it seems that our opponents in the R\u0026D competition are all very strong." Hillenburg looked at Allen and Mars. The father and son were responsible for designing and building the actual battlefield and props. If they wanted to dig To reveal the potential and shortcomings of the combat puppet, their cooperation is indispensable.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Professor Allen took out a stack of site design drawings and handed them over, while Mars took out a sandbox from the suitcase at his feet and put it on the table.

"I discussed it with Mars and found that the existing training ground is not deep enough vertically, and the height difference factor in actual combat is not obvious." Professor Allen did a few operations on the sand table and changed the simulated terrain into high on both sides and low in the middle. Looked like this and said:

"We haven't simulated terrains such as trenches, grabens, and underground rivers very well yet. But I don't recommend building them.

“Perhaps it would be a better choice to go to nearby sea areas and find some similar natural terrain for actual combat training.

"Mars and I calculated that if the combat puppet fights in such complex terrain, its endurance will be further shortened by about 20%."

Hillenberg compared the design drawings and the sand table, and pondered for a few minutes, "Well... just as you said, I will apply to the castle administrator for escort. When the time comes, we will drive directly to the comprehensive alchemy room at our feet."

Hillenburg put down the design drawing, crossed his fingers on the table, and glanced at his team members, "Our problem is focused on battery life. I think this should be a headache for most research teams. We must overcome it, so Only then can you stand out. Do you have any good ideas?"

Mars put away the sandbox, raised his hand and said:

"I have a suggestion."

"Tell me about it, Mars." Hillenburg pushed up the frame.

"It's like this. When I was studying giant creation, my mentor, Master Tyson, was developing a special alchemy material for use on high-speed airships."

Mars took out a small iron box from his pocket, with a thin metal piece sandwiched between the soft pads inside.

The light falls on the metal surface and emits a beautiful four-color light. At first glance, it is a high-end alchemy product.

Hillenberg inspired the [Eye of Kolas] meditation method and carefully observed the metal piece with the mysterious blue eyes on his forehead. "The hardness is about level 40. It has a certain metal memory and can be used without force. It returns to its original shape without using enchantment technology. It is a pure alchemical product. Well... This kind of metal material generally has a relatively high density and a large weight, but your material looks similar to the two Three sugar cubes are as light as each other.”

"Yes, it weighs only one-third of conventional metal materials." Mars pushed the iron box onto the table and introduced:

"This special alchemical material was a graduation gift from my mentor. He said that as long as I could reversely decipher the raw materials and production process, he would allow me to use this alchemical material.

"The good news is that I successfully copied this material the night before yesterday. I think I am now qualified to use it."

Mars paused, "I want to contribute it and use it on combat puppets. It can be used as a raw material for non-critical parts inside the puppet, reducing the overall weight of the puppet by about 15%."

The "contribution" mentioned by Mars is not free.

The Hillenberg Group has a reward plan that can effectively motivate members and ensure fairness to the greatest extent.

We comprehensively calculate each member's contribution to a certain R\u0026D task from multiple perspectives such as working hours, R\u0026D contribution, work efficiency and accuracy.

If the special alchemy materials contributed by Mars are confirmed by Hillenberg to be used on combat puppets and achieve positive benefits, then Mars will receive a certain contribution reward. This contribution is a reward in the research and development process.

If this special alchemical material is still used in the final battle puppet, Mars can also receive a contribution reward. This reward is the reward for settling the research and development tasks.

Hillenberg has a very high prestige in the group, and when he selected the group members, he deliberately selected alchemists who were relatively simple-minded and did not like to form cliques and engage in petty actions. Therefore, the group atmosphere was excellent and there was no A dark and dirty deal.

This reward program has been operating for more than ten years and is still healthy.

It was precisely because of this that Xia Zuo was motivated to study kinetic energy devices.

Mars became his role model.

Hillenburg greatly appreciated Mars's enthusiasm, "Very good, Mars. We are in need of help with lightweight alchemical materials. I will identify your special alchemical materials after the meeting. If they can be used for refining If it’s not a critical part, then you’ve been a big help.”

Mars nodded with a smile, and his father Allen quietly showed his thumbs up.

"Any other suggestions?" Hillenberg put away the iron box. "We don't need to consider the cost in this research and development competition. If necessary, we can seek funding from the castle administrator. Used for amphibious combat puppets around Lumington City. , if our team’s alchemical products were not used, we would become a laughing stock in the Lumington City Emergency Response Department.”

Xia Zuo raised his hand and said: "I have an idea, but it still needs repeated experiments."

"Tell me, Xia Zuo." Hillenberg looked forward to it.

Xia Zuo took out a stack of thick notepads from his alchemy pocket.

He turned to one of the pages, showed it to the team members, and said:

"Danielle's summary report shows that the combat puppet consumes the most energy in launching mines in the aphotic zone environment.

"I carefully studied the structure of the mine and discovered the reason for the intense energy consumption."

As an alchemical weapon, mines require authorization before they can be refined.

The marine team did not have this permission. These mines were purchased from the castle guards with the permission of the castle administrator. The specific model is the Federal Navy underwater mine BV-3.

When 100,000 mines are refined at one time, the cost of building a single mine is 10 citizen points - mass production of alchemy props can reduce production costs. If you only refine a few or dozens of mines, the cost of building mines ranges from 100 to 1,000 citizen points.

Hillenburg spent 10,000 points to buy 1,000 standard mines for actual combat training.

No one on the team studied mines, and the reasons were complex.

The main reason is that, as a military weapon, mines have an internal research and development process. As a military weapon that is used on a large scale, it has withstood the test of actual combat. Neither the army nor the research team behind the army will take it lightly. Make changes.

Any change to the appearance of the mine will involve the launcher, array and energy circuit, and many practical experiments will need to be done, which will distract a large part of the experimental power, and it may not necessarily produce better results...

If nothing else, mines will become the main combat weapon of every amphibious combat puppet in the deep sea environment.

For this reason, in-depth research on naval mines has become a research blind spot for Hillenberg's team.

Xia Zuo showed the team members a mine without a warhead.

(Note: Warhead refers to the part with lethality.)

Its appearance is spherical, which is convenient for engraving a magic circle to offset water pressure.

The magic circle needs to be filled with energy before it can take effect.

Most of the energy consumed by the combat puppet when launching the mine is used to activate the magic circle inside the mine.

All team members are aware of this.

So, is there any way to reduce the energy consumption of activating the magic circle?

Xia Zuo thought about it, but was not sure.

When I was receiving compulsory education in my previous life, the school organized students to visit a military museum.

Boys are always interested in firearms and bullets, and Xia Zuo was no exception. He was deeply impressed by this visit.

Especially underwater bullets and how they work.

Underwater bullets do not rely on warheads to kill enemies, but [pressure difference].

Assume that in a space of about 10 cubic centimeters, the 5 cubic centimeters on the left are the high pressure of the aphotic zone, and the 5 cubic centimeters on the right are normal ground pressure. What happens next?

It is easy to imagine that these 10 cubic centimeters of space will become a mess, and the huge pressure difference will tear apart every trace of space until the pressure is completely consistent everywhere in the space.

This kind of damage caused by pressure difference is no less than the damage caused by mine fragments.

How to create pressure difference?

Answer: Supercavitation.

Supercavitation is a purely physical phenomenon.

When an object moves underwater at a speed exceeding 180 kilometers per hour, water vapor bubbles, called supercavitations, will form at its rear.

The pressure inside the supercavitation will be much less than the water pressure in the aphotic zone, resulting in a huge pressure difference. Anything in contact with the supercavitation will be crushed by the pressure difference.

How does a supercavitation form?

Xia Zuo knew the answer. All he had to do was design the bullet's appearance into the shape of a long bullet and carve specific patterns on the bullet.

but…

How do you explain physical phenomena in the scientific field to a bunch of alchemists?

Alchemy and science are two completely different systems. The former is based on the four elements, while the latter is based on the observation of physical and chemical phenomena.

If he really wanted to explain the principle of underwater bullets completely, then Xia Zuo would have to prepare many experimental records as evidence.

Xia Zuo didn't intend to do this. The more he did, the easier it would be for mistakes to occur. What's more, the team members were all talented, observant and sharp-thinking, so it was easy for them to discover Xia Zuo's anomalies.

Xia Zuo thought of another way.

This is a world where monsters exist.

The natural law of survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest is an iron law in the deep sea environment.

Will there be monsters in the deep sea that have evolved a shape similar to long-rod bullets?

Xia Zuo discovered a very interesting ocean monster while flipping through the encyclopedia of ocean monsters written by Hillenberg.

Hillenberg named it "Shuttle Hare".

Aplysia is also known as sea slug, but it is not a rabbit or a slug, but a conch with an inner shell.

It is named because it has a pure white appearance under alchemy lamps and its tentacles resemble rabbit ears.

The structure of the sea hare is very strange. Its shell is inside the body and the soft body is outside the shell.

Hillenburg failed to capture the shuttle sea hare because this monster would choose to commit suicide to attack its enemies.

They will expand their bodies and then eject the inner shell inside their bodies.

After the inner shell is fired, it either collides with the target and turns into waste, or it is crushed by water pressure after reaching the maximum range.

In short, Hillenberg was not able to obtain experimental samples of Aplysia sea harriers, nor did he collect the inner shell that would be crushed by water pressure but is highly lethal.

But after Hillenburg was attacked many times by Aplysia scutellaria, he reluctantly used the [Eye of Kolas] meditation method to observe the shape of the inner shell, and drew a simple line drawing on his notepad.

The appearance of the inner shell is exactly similar to that of a long-barrel bullet.

When Xia Zuo placed the page about the inner shell of Aplysia in front of Hillenberg, the team leader wearing glasses first pondered for a while, and then showed a look of sudden realization.

"Oh~ I remembered. It was a long, long time ago that I encountered this kind of monster. At that time, I was the only one in the group."

Hillenburg recalled:

“I drove the diving room alone to a place 70 kilometers south of the Sea Castle, intending to collect some experimental samples of demonized starfish.

“During those days when I stayed underwater, the diving room was almost shattered several times by the inner shell fired by the shuttle Aplysia.

"I was confused at the time as to why this inner shell, which would be crushed by water pressure, could cause so much damage to the hard outer shell of the diving chamber..."

Hillenburg frowned. This confusing question had been squeezed into a corner by his busy work life, and he never had time to study it carefully.

Now that Xia Zuo mentioned it, he also felt that this matter was worth studying.

But...will there be enough time...

The team doesn’t even have any experimental samples of Aplysia scutellaria…

Thanks for the monthly votes and recommendation votes.
