Nightmare Immortal Era

Chapter 44: Bacteriophage Robot

Yang Ning chose this training ground because of the river here.

Firstly, it is convenient for cleaning the tanks.

Secondly...

By the river, his control over water would be more effective, as there are always children throwing things into the river a few kilometers away.

After a day of hard training, Yang Ning didn't feel like going back, so he would lie by the river, listening to the tranquil flow of the water as he drifted off to sleep.

Seeing him so carefree, Xun Hu, Ning Rong, and Su Bai also joined in.

Once the grass was flattened, it became a ready-made bed. It wasn't cold at night during this season, and there were no mosquitoes in Ocean Cloud City.

"Where the heart is at peace is home," Yang Ning sighed.

"Do you miss home?" Ning Rong asked.

"No!" Yang Ning shook his head. He didn't have any feelings for his parents in this lifetime because they saw him as a burden from the moment he was born. He had heard countless cold words, and if it weren't for inventing the Quyuan Plow and gaining attention, he would have been sold off long ago!

The local county magistrate also realized that his parents were unreliable, so he took him away when he was two years old, and he never went back since.

This hometown is not the same as the other hometown!

Ning Rong's heart tightened. She actually missed home and thought Yang Ning would feel the same.

For some reason, she was initially curious about Yang Ning and even admired him a little. After getting to know him better, she discovered that he not only had amazing poetic talent but also had great talent in cultivation.

But the more she got to know him, the more she realized that he was a weirdo who only had alchemy on his mind.

Today, she finally managed to develop some goodwill towards him, but it disappeared in an instant.

Forget it, time to sleep.

Su Bai fell asleep even earlier. His cultivation technique consumed a lot of energy. It was quite laborious for four people to move a 50-ton tank by foot.

Fortunately, they were cultivators with great strength.

And what about Yang Ning?

His consciousness had long arrived at the riverbed three kilometers away from himself.

A stream of water with consciousness quietly wrapped around the parts that the children had thrown into the riverbed, gathering them together. Then, like a pair of skillful hands, the water flow assembled the parts.

In the end, over thirty different parts were assembled into a stick.

But the stick could instantly disassemble and transform into a mechanical creature with six legs, a head, and a neck, resembling an octopus.

In fact, Yang Ning took inspiration for its appearance from the bacteriophage, so he named it the Bacteriophage Robot.

The head of the bacteriophage was a hollow quartz crystal that could generate ultrasonic waves when powered.

The neck was a vortex generator, with a fan driving a magnet and copper wire wrapped around it. When water flowed through, it could generate electricity and also be used to emit electromagnetic waves.

The neck was a superheterodyne receiver, which was essentially an earthen antenna.

The six legs each had different functions: water knife cutter, pliers, adjustable wrench, screwdriver.

The pliers used two legs.

The existence of these devices with different functions made this robot a Transcendent Level machine that combined exploration (electromagnetic waves), mining (water knife), metallurgy (ultrasonic waves causing luminescence), processing (water knife), and assembly (pliers, wrench, screwdriver).

Of course, if you only looked at its appearance, no one would think this robot was so amazing. It even looked more like a child's toy.

Because the current generated by the generator was not enough to produce enough energy for the quartz crystal to generate ultrasonic waves to heat the ore. The electromagnetic waves generated by this current could be used for exploration, but the crude antenna couldn't fully analyze the reflected electromagnetic waves.

As for the pliers and water knife, it was even more of a joke. The so-called water knife was actually a water gun, and its water spraying speed was not even as fast as the 50-cent water guns sold on the street. As for the pliers, because of the weak legs, it couldn't even move large pieces of ore.

But this was not the scientific world, but the Immortal Cultivation World.

When this robot was infused with nightmare energy, everything changed.

At this point, the water knife was more than capable of easily cutting any ordinary ore, and the pliers could pick it up.

The antenna couldn't analyze electromagnetic wave signals, but it could collect them, and it was Deep Blue that could truly analyze the signals.

The ultrasonic waves generated by the quartz crystal in the head were also enough to produce a temperature of 2000℃, which was enough to melt any metal!

Scientific research has always been easy to add but difficult to subtract. Yang Ning designed a minimalist robot by integrating existing conditions and Jiangyun Hao's processing capabilities.

Not only is it minimalist, but it also has strong confidentiality. Because it looks like a stick with a stone inserted, even if it is picked up, people would think it's just garbage and throw it into the river.

Moreover, Yang Ning is not afraid of being copied because the computing power of Spirit Realm, the control of Deep Blue, and the versatile energy of Nightmare Energy are all unique to Yang Ning and cannot be replaced.

If someone wants to replace it, not to mention the high-quality chips required for the robot, even batteries with lower technical requirements cannot be manufactured by anyone.

Of course, during the process of building the robot, Yang Ning also discovered something. Not every creation needs to be activated by Yang Ning before Nightmare Energy can work.

For example, the Barrett sniper rifle only needs to be used once, and Nightmare Energy will remember it. Afterwards, Nightmare Energy can be directly injected into a Barrett sniper rifle that has not been activated, and it can still be effective.

Yang Ning has already tested the effectiveness of the bacteriophage robot in Spirit Realm. So, after this bacteriophage robot was assembled in water, as soon as Yang Ning injected Nightmare Energy into it, it suddenly became like a lifeless object with a soul, standing straight in the water.

A Nightmare Energy robot is 40 centimeters tall, with far fewer materials than a Barrett sniper rifle, but because it needs to generate electricity and heat, and possibly due to high energy consumption, it requires 3 points of mental power.

Yang Ning directly injected 240 points.

However, having more mental power does not make the robot transcendental, it only extends its lifespan.

With a thought, the bacteriophage robot, like a newly born fish, first tried swimming and then tried walking on the riverbed.

Naturally, the lump of iron cannot swim, but the mental power on its body is equivalent to Yang Ning's presence, so it can control the water flow to force itself to float.

However, this method consumes a lot of energy, so after trying it, Yang Ning gave up letting the robot swim and instead let it walk on the riverbed. After all, it has six legs and is not slow.

As the robot started moving on the riverbed, the ultrasonic and electromagnetic wave detectors also started working. Yang Ning also opened up a new space in Spirit Realm based on the feedback signals from the bacteriophage robot, and began to construct the situation on the riverbed.

Fish, seaweed, river sand, minerals, and even sunken ships!

"So many sunken ships!" After scanning for just over ten minutes, Yang Ning actually found five ships stacked on top of each other.

And they were not empty ships, there were many minerals on them!

"One ship should be filled with silk, all rotten. One ship with porcelain, perfectly preserved. One ship with flowers and wood? All rotten. And this ship is entirely made of white paper, this paper is extraordinary, it can actually be waterproof? And there's another ship, huh?"

Yang Ning was surprised. The bottommost ship was filled with food, which was nothing special, but one of the cabins was actually filled with silver ingots!

When electromagnetic waves hit metal, they reflect differently depending on the type of metal. Based on this principle, Yang Ning could naturally recognize silver ingots.

After maneuvering the bacteriophage robot, climbing up and down, Deep Blue quickly counted them.

A total of 24 million taels!

"Damn!" Yang Ning was shocked. How could there be so much?

And most importantly, no one had salvaged it?

There are sea monsters in the sea, but there are no decent Demonic Beasts in the river, especially in the rivers of Ocean Cloud City. They must have been cleaned eight hundred times a day, right?

Even if the ship sank deep, it couldn't stop cultivators with advanced Physical Body Realm cultivation!

Yang Ning immediately searched for relevant information and soon learned the reason.

All the rivers, big and small, in Ocean Cloud City actually have owners, and anything that falls into them automatically belongs to the owner of the river!

Fishing in the river is fine, but fishermen can't catch many fish.

But salvaging a ship from the river is not allowed, even if the ship belongs to your family and is of high value!

Unless you buy it back at market price after salvaging it.

Then what's the point of salvaging it?

Unless it is a necessity, such as a relic left by parents or a gift from a loved one.

"Oh?" Yang Ning suddenly thought of something.

"Do you want to salvage items from the riverbed?" Deep Blue said, "I don't think it's possible. Those families should know what's in the riverbed, and they don't salvage it to leave some heritage for their families. Maybe they will notice if something is missing!"

"No!" Yang Ning said, "I thought of something based on the principle of electromagnetic wave prospecting. The mass and volume of electrons are much smaller than atoms. So, based on the shape of the electromagnetic waves hitting the metal and reflecting back, can't we determine the appearance of atoms?"

"Oh?" Deep Blue was stunned, and then immediately started experimenting.

Before long, the entire Spirit Realm was filled with joyful laughter!

The observation scale of Spirit Realm officially reached the atomic level!
