Mage Adam Chapter 38: Mechanical body (2)
James watched Adam leave, and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Adam, you underestimate me. There is only a glimmer of hope, and I can do my best to fight for it. It's my own choice, resentment? It doesn't exist."
From the psychic power shown by Adam just now, James has seen the extraordinary and difficult. Even if this kind of materialization is a characteristic brought by meditation, it is impossible to have if the amount of spiritual power is not reached. He has studied spiritual power for decades, and he will not even fail to see this. For Thomas, choosing to stay is a stud, betting everything on himself, even death.
"It's better to die on the way to the mage than to spend the rest of your life doing nothing."
......
Adam came to the original mental power laboratory, and after showing the certificate given to him by Mage Irene, the laboratory was unsealed. The work efficiency of the tower is extremely high. The funds for this month have been allocated. Adam summoned an alchemy puppet through the console. He needs to remodel the laboratory. There were too many rooms in the previous laboratory, which was probably because Reasons for the disproportionate number of apprentices participating in research.
But Adam doesn't need so many people to assist him in his demonstration. With the ability to work with multiple threads, he can even surpass a team by himself in projects such as mental power that do not require the operation of large-scale equipment.
Adam needs samples, not helpers.
The alchemy puppet started to work after receiving the order to get the power stone. Adam once again saw the silver torrent he saw on the dock. These nano-scale robots covered the laboratory like a tide and directly decomposed the original structure. Combining, a few seconds later, Adam's request was achieved.
If these puppets were not the academy's wealth, Adam would have liked to keep them all. This ability to directly change the physical form is simply too fascinating.
The next step is to purchase equipment. After becoming the owner of the laboratory, he realized that the tower can improve so many magical things.
Optical projectors are just the most basic things, mental power amplifiers, substantiation auxiliary devices, energy amplifiers, energy fluctuation recorders and other instruments that sound very powerful, but they are relatively expensive. high.
Adam frowned and bought a batch of equipment, and found that the funds allocated by the tower were quickly used up. At this point, he finally knew why the value of the power stone was not high and some apprentices duel because of this. poor.
He couldn't help thinking of the red expedition missions and huge rewards in the mission hall. Adam, who was originally a research house, was not interested in those, but now he realizes that maybe he really wants to do it. .
But now is not the time, he needs to send the meditation to the library. The books with specific runes in the library are not paper, but the three-dimensional form of light curtains. Adam recorded the psychic meditation method into the optical projector, and then removed the information box from the projector. The complete set of runes has been Stored in the information box, the library will form 'books' based on the information box.
......
Early the next morning, Frank arrived at the lab almost at the same time as James.
"I would like to join the lab," Frank said directly.
Adam is not surprised by this. From yesterday's performance, Frank's agreement is almost certain.
"I'm honored, but what I need is not an experimental assistant, but a test subject. Can you accept it?" Adam's words are very direct. In the study of psychic meditation, whether it is James or Frank, Their wisdom is not enough to help Adam, the meaning of the two of them is to provide Adam with data - ordinary aptitude cultivation, and semi-mechanical body cultivation.
Even though they had already positioned themselves for their abilities, the two of them were a little embarrassed to hear Adam's words, but soon Frank said decisively: "Yes, Mr. Adam, I can accept it."
Adam nodded, took out two contracts and handed them over. The content of the contract was very formulaic, and the two signed it without looking at it.
Adam clapped his hands and said, "Then, you are welcome to join." With no pep talk or celebration, Adam directly assigned the task: "James, you can start building the meditation, if If you find it difficult, you can use amplifiers and materialization aids, and all the process of your build will be under surveillance, if you have any problems, sort it out and leave it to me. Mr. Frank, you come with me."
Frank's research is more valuable than James's, and Adam is very interested in him.
"Mr. Frank, I would like to know if your soul and spirit have changed after you lost half of your body."
This is a question that Frank has been paying attention to every day in his hardships. When he heard Adam ask him without thinking, he said: "No change, just after losing my body, I can't feel the elements anymore."
Adam recorded his words, then asked, "So, do you know what happened to the rest of the apprentices who use mechanical bodies? Don't they have a way to feel the elements?"
Frank knew that Adam was a rookie. Although he was extremely talented, he didn't know much about common sense. He directly said what Adam wanted to know: "Yes, all apprentices in my situation can no longer To generate elemental perception, we can only take the path of alchemists. But this path requires a lot of resources, and the Moldo element tower is not better than alchemy."
"So, do you know what the reason is?"
Frank nodded: "In the apprenticeship stage, the body is the actual manifestation of the soul. Although the semi-mechanical body does not affect life, it will cause the loss of the soul."
A lack of soul? Adam made a point that the study of the soul on earth only stays in theology, and its existence cannot even be determined at the scientific level. If Frank is right that the incompleteness of the body results in the absence of the soul, then why is thinking unaffected?
Could it be that in the apprenticeship, or mortal stage, human thinking is not determined by the soul? What is that based on? brain?
Adam took this question to heart. This kind of knowledge should not be considered a secret. There may be relevant materials in the library. It's good to look it up when you have time.
He said to Frank: "Yesterday you told me that a mechanical body can bring pain. How does this pain come about?"
"I look like one person, but I'm actually two bodies. All the characteristics of flesh and blood are only carried out in one half, the other half cannot feel it. But the mechanical side has to be involved." Frank took off all the The clothes, exposed the mechanical body, and then he pulled it out with both hands, and forcefully separated it from the flesh and blood.
This kind of thing is obviously painful, and Frank sweats like a rain, but he doesn't say a word, and says with the calm that he tries to maintain: "That's it."
It looks a little scary. The small granulation on the broken part of the body continues to grow, trying to heal the wound, while the mechanical side simply cuts off the granulation. Every blood vessel is connected to a channel, and the blood flows in this way. Circulation, even the internal organs are made of machinery, and Frank's entire body is rapidly depleting.
"It's magic that keeps it going."
Adam understands that perhaps the most painful thing for him is not physical. The flesh and blood body that has not undergone physical training must always be in contact with magic power. The regeneration speed of cells cannot keep up with the speed of death. The most painful thing is to watch yourself die. This kind of psychological pressure is the most painful.
Adam put his hand on Frank's body, Frank shook uncomfortably, Adam said, "Don't move, I need to test it."
Whether psychic power can construct a film between the mechanical body and the flesh and blood, so that the two can be harmoniously combined, the spiritual power itself has the bearing capacity, and the psychic power is beyond the spiritual power, then whether the psychic power can It acts as a neutralizer between different substances, which is what Adam now wants to study.
The psychic power flowed gently and gently ~IndoMTL.com~ covering the fracture, Adam gradually controlled it to materialize, and after the perfect covering formed a thin film, he said to Frank: "Merge."
Frank breathed a sigh of relief and tore himself apart. Even if he was used to the pain, he couldn't bear it, and then he became nervous again. If Adam's experiment can be done, it undoubtedly means that he may not have to endure this kind of thing in the future. pain of.
Adam took his hand away and asked Frank, "How does it feel?"
"The pain is relieved, but not obvious." Frank frowned, he found a more critical problem: "And the growth of the body cannot be inhibited."
Adam nodded and recorded, and then applied changes to the psychic power, enhancing the power of the psychic power, and controlling the body to stop growing. This is not easy. Too much power will kill the body, and too little power can not be suppressed. Fortunately, Adam has Only with abnormal-level computing power did he find the most suitable output in a short period of time.
"And now?" Adam asked again.
Frank's eyes burst into a bright light. It's not a description, it's a real light. This is a manifestation of severe emotional fluctuations and uncontrollable mental power. He excitedly said to Adam: "It's useful! It's really useful! It's better than before. It's almost pain free, I feel more relaxed than ever!"
Frank had reason to be excited, and this performance of telekinesis gave him great hope. He originally applied for the experimental project just to relieve the pain, and now this goal has been achieved.
Adam originally wanted to try to use psychic power to build blood vessels, but Frank's current state was not suitable for conducting experiments. He withdrew his psychic power, and Frank's expression suddenly distorted. Adam turned a blind eye and said calmly: "I'll be here today. Now, you can go back to rest, or go to James to build a meditation with you."
