The Witcher: Synthesis of Everything

Chapter 322 [Universal L-Type·Electromagnetic Magic Armor]

…

The laboratory built in the Thorn Star base camp cost Lin Suo a lot of wealth, and it is definitely among the top batch.

Whether it is witchcraft runes or technological equipment, they are all purchased according to the first-class standards, or experimental equipment, such as culture media, are tailor-made according to his own needs, and he synthesizes and upgrades them all by himself.

The (mycelium) obtained by Elise's "treasure hunt" is in the greenhouse, a growth environment specially created for fungi.

Looking at it now, it is completely different from how it was when it was first built.

On the way to the greenhouse.

Red housekeeping assistants crawled on the ground and walls, carrying various items in order.

Last time he produced the 1.0 version of the housekeeping assistant, and Elise upgraded it. The 2.0 version is called [Miscellaneous Assistant].

The palms of each hand also look quite penetrating.

"Teacher Rhine, after I copied the gene sequences you gave me, I added integrated chips to them, so that they can be uniformly deployed through Taling (Zero Zero One)."

"The laboratory has changed a lot from the deserted situation before."

"not bad."

Lin Suo nodded and said that Elise's research talent is really good.

"The greenhouse has arrived."

As the door valve opened, the metal door slid open to both sides with a chirping sound.

A large greenhouse of about 3,000 square meters came into view.

The ground was covered with a layer of mist, and the branches looked like coral bushes. The light yellow and transparent fungi occupied almost every place.

Walls, ceilings, floors...

"Is this the (mycelium) you cultivated?"

"right."

Elise looked excited.

"This kind of hyphae has extreme immortality. High temperature, freezing, and electrolysis cannot kill it."

"If you use witchcraft, you need a high-level wizard to cast a spell to cut off its vitality."

"There are also side effects. The growth is very slow. You need to feed raw meat to speed up the growth. Moreover, this fungus loves to eat sweets. This is the organism it parasitizes, a (quimbit)."

(Kumbit) is an ordinary soldier of the Void Zerg. It looks like an enlarged version of a mantis, but its body is much plumper. Its brown chitin beetle has purple lines that represent the void.

At this time, he is being kept in a reinforced glass cage.

But there was something Lin Suo didn't understand.

"parasitic?"

"Yes, it looks a bit like symbiosis, but it is actually parasitism, but (mycelium) is different from the demon symbiosis. It has no thinking ability, only the instinct of eating, and the adaptation conditions are very harsh. We have not found a suitable one yet.

Host and carry out benign mutations.”

Lin Suo was thoughtful.

"So you are interested in the ability of the Void Zerg (adaptive evolution), so that the success rate of combining the two is higher?"

"Yes."

Speaking of which, Elise was a little fanatical.

"Mentor, once the parasitic problem of (mycelium) is solved and they become beneficial bacteria in the blood of the orcs, it will give the orc army almost immortal recovery ability, which is of great significance."

This is undeniable.

Lin Suo asked her to study this because of its immortality.

——Pop!

Elise clapped her hands, and several red palms came in carrying pieces of raw meat and sugar cubes, and threw them into the glass cage from above. The (Quumbits) inside did not hesitate at all and pounced directly on the sugar cubes.

Elise continued.

"After (mycelium) parasitized it, the innate habits of this insect were almost completely changed. It only likes to eat sweets, and raw meat is used as a breeding ground."

As he finished speaking, slender hyphae quickly extended from the tail end of the insect's abdomen, falling on the pieces of raw meat and dividing at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.

Raw meat accelerates its growth rate to an incredible extent.

"You see, in addition to the harsh parasitic conditions, it is not a beneficial bacteria. It will cause the host's flesh and blood to be replaced by this hyphae. The moment the host's flesh and blood is completely devoured, it will become a puppet."

"Only the instinct to eat exists, half dead."

"Well……"

This project can only be said to have great potential, but there are still many problems. Forced synthesis will only cause all the orcs under his command to become living zombie puppets with only instincts.

How to change the habit of this (mycelium) is the key issue, and adaptability is not a difficulty that Lin Suo considers.

"Is it contagious?"

"No, it is only interested in corpses, but actively cutting wounds and contacting this kind of hyphae will also cause a parasitic reaction. If it survives, it will turn into a puppet in an average of 30 minutes."

"If you don't survive it, it will become a bacterial colony within an average of 20 minutes."

Lin Suo looked at the fungi all over the ground in surprise.

"That's how it all came about?"

"Yes, all races have tried it, and only the Void Zerg race has resisted."

"Understood, send this living sample to the laboratory, and I will do the surgery myself later."

(Mycelium) is Linsuo's next transformation project for the orc army. From the very beginning "Magic Heart" - "Fel Blood" - "Fighting Knight", it has gone through three versions of improvements.

A pendant "Devil Symbiote" was added in the middle. Lin Suo used the symbiote as an intelligent alchemy breeding equipment, but it was not enough for the whole army to equip.

Next is the combination of "mycelial transformation" + "magic armor".

It can definitely turn the orcs from space ants into one of the most powerful legions. If there are still shortcomings, he can continue to transform them, but there is no need to rush.

Especially the transformation of Fel Blood, which is already considered a demon orc. From a basic point of view, the birth of a genius who develops the deeper power of Fel Power has a chance to reach the level of legend.

The value of the fighting spirit knight system is also very high. It has been following the path of breathing method. The ancient orcs of Padoron were not weak at all, and were much stronger than the original orcs in the universe.

Even the earliest breathing method came from the ancient orc clan.

A few hours later.

After Elise reported to him the relatively important recent situation, she left with a resentful look in her eyes.

Lin Suo sorted it out and communicated with (Zero One) for a while. After knowing what he knew, he returned to the Rhine Manor.

Go to the flower room as soon as possible.

Here, there are surprises for adults.

"Tina?"

She put one hand slightly on her chest, and the other arm lazily supported the hollow carved railing of the flower room.

Wearing a gauze dress as thin as cicada wings and as white as snow, the front of the chest is slightly open, revealing a snow-white pink neck and half of the chest.

It bulges faintly among the clusters of flowers. In the uncovered area, the skin is reflected and the gauze is not covered, so you can vaguely see it.

And the other end.

Varya was leaning against the flower vine stand, her charming eyes were as silky as silk, and her body was draped in black gauze, completely opposite to Tina's style...

——Gudong~

…

The next day.

Wake up from the flower bed.

After gathering everyone in the manor for breakfast and spending a few days with the two women, Lin Suo devoted himself to research.

One is (hyphae) improvement.

The second is (magic armor).

The first one is not in a hurry. Lin Suo is mainly working on the magical armor. The Rhine fleet has developed so far. With the support of his wealth, the number is sufficient.

To make magic armor based on electromagnetic witchcraft, he can only make a standard model and then develop a mass production line.

In this way, we can quickly arm the orc army and gain more benefits in the war that may occur next, or we can become independent.

At present, wealth is mainly spent on the [Star Gate Project]. A star gate is like a wormhole passage, and it is a permanently safe version. It is not as easy to cancel as the "Devil Portal".

Once it is fixed, there is no chance of regret unless the star gate is destroyed directly.

Therefore, the cost of establishment is very high and the cost is not low. It is also necessary to examine the location and weigh the pros and cons.

Connect two places that are far apart.

It must also provide a gateway for the fleet to enter and exit.

The size of a star gate is almost that of a planet, at least hundreds of thousands of kilometers, so that it can meet the needs of large-scale travel.

More than ten star gates of this level have been opened, and more than twenty are under construction. Once successful, the star field centered on the Thorn Star will be revitalized.

A secret stargate has also been established in the Zygarde galaxy.

Consolidate your power and build a line of defense.

The Rhine Fleet spent 50% of the wealth, and the Star Gate spent 40% of the wealth. Now only 10% of the wealth has been accumulated, enough for him to complete the (magic armor) armed plan.

The number of the orc army is over 10 million.

Insufficient money is a problem, and cost-effectiveness is also a problem.

The conventional armed forces of the [Truth Society] are internal (Libra Judgment) and external (war field).

Wizard Apprentice ~ Lower Wizard Level, the conventional weapon is [Magic Firearm], which is high-quality and cheap, and combines the power of technology and runic spells.

A special model that can also be used as a witch's wand.

On the [Mechanicum] side, it is purely technological, and there are also mechas, and they are divided into many levels. However, this level of knowledge is as confidential as the wizard's colossus technology.

Thanks to the previous honeymoon period, I may share some of it, but I will never impart it to the [Truth Society] without reservation.

What Lin Suo has to do is to use the "electromagnetic witchcraft" that is closer to technology as the basic plan, and refer to Colossus technology and technological mechas to create a piece of equipment that takes into account both aspects.

Colossus knowledge is actually about making alchemical puppets, which is also the effect that alchemy can achieve.

But it is not as sophisticated as technological means.

The mechas he plans to allocate to the Orc Legion will use the Colossus as a template, replace the core inside with technological means, and then inscribe appropriate electromagnetic witchcraft runes on it.

The first thing to solve is the energy device.

Wizards are accustomed to using [Elemental Pool] as energy source, but the Elemental Pool is obviously not suitable for individual mechas.

Therefore, Lin Suo has to solve the first problem.

Portable energy!

Elemental power, cosmic power, Terra Ore...

"001, establishment project (L-type·four-phase core)"

"The four elements of earth, water, fire and wind are the basic board, and the gathering spells and transformation spells of the element pool are applied."

[Instruction received, model is being built...]

In the laboratory.

A spiral-shaped, palm-sized four-color device quickly took shape and was projected in front of Lin Suo.

Considering that the orcs use body energy, that is, "fighting energy".

If the mecha is powered by its own energy, it will collapse.

The L-shaped four-phase core only needs to match the fighting spirit energy. Use its own energy as an emergency, or use it after leaving the mecha, etc. All situations must be taken into consideration.

Its own energy reserves are also very important.

It is not enough to rely solely on the L-type·four-phase core to absorb free elements and recover.

"Gathering techniques to dismantle, add electromagnetic runes No. 23, No. 47, No. 86..."

"Modify the storage materials, use magic crystal dust, blank high-grade magic stone, zinc-gold source sand, Skarner metal..."

"Line design..."

"Retrieve the design drawings of the sixth-level guardian colossus and dismantle the magic energy circuit..."

Lin Suo's eyes bloomed with indigo light.

With the blessing of the eye of truth, the thinking mode quickly takes off, and various methods are calculated and derived.

as time flows.

The projection in front of him became more and more full, and the details became more real.

Design drawings for the first version of the Magic Armor.

Lin Suo spent two full months and considered every aspect, especially saving money.

It doesn't matter whether he's handsome or not, he's not the one to wear it anyway. The first priority is practicality and the cost of making it. There's no way the landlord has enough food left.

Until November 56, Advent.

in the projection screen.

A three-meter-tall blue and white iron man was officially released, with a helmet like a knight's heavy armor on his head, a cross-shaped window on the front, and thin blue lightning stripes on his face like a beard.

Electromagnetic magic (five rings, deflection magnetic field) is engraved here, which can block flying objects attacking the head.

On the chest is the seal of the Rhine family.

Three asymmetrical overlapping triangular simple patterns, the breastplate is over 50 cm and very thick.

The shoulder armor on both sides is wider and shaped into a cylinder with a cross-section, almost completely covering the upper arms.

Behind the back is a four-meter-long (magic firearm) that can snipe and sweep. It is a flat rectangular energy block made of Terra ore, like a magazine, with an ammunition chain inserted and slung on the body.

There is an arm blade slot on the outside of the forearm, which is about 1.2 meters long, and can eject melee weapons made of rigid metal at any time.

On the outside of the right thigh, there is a pistol-like electromagnetic gun that can fire a small electromagnetic gun.

The L-shaped four-phase core is placed inside the mecha.

The legs imitate those of beasts. Although they are thick and thick, after activating the burning witchcraft, they can enter an electromagnetic state, greatly improving the performance of the mecha.

Especially the speed can be nearly doubled.

It has a complete set of built-in technological means, including life support systems, flight modes, reconnaissance systems, etc. It also has anti-magic, giant power, and defense techniques commonly used in Colossus technology.

The two are closely combined through electromagnetic magic, and the connection of each module is realized by (electromagnetic stance).

The waist is equipped with a 5 cubic meter space belt.

The cost of such a set is close to three million Terra, which is very expensive, but the effect is very good.

It is definitely enough to be used as a general-purpose mecha for the orc army. As for the magic armor for the orc commander, Lin Suo needs to customize it according to his personal habits.

"Zero Zero One, simulation starts."

The projection screen suddenly began to change, and the iron man inside started to move, constantly using various functions.

After a long time, Lin Suo breathed a sigh of relief.

"Start production and let Thrall Black Claw test it. If there are no problems, set up a production line immediately."

"The name is [Universal L-Type Electromagnetic Magic Armor]. Make a thousand of them first."
