Mechanical Alchemist Chapter 114: Creating living corpses (please subscribe)
Half a month later.
The basement on Green Street.
Su Lun was tinkering with a new combat puppet. He tried to use steel wires to pull it into action, but whether it was slashing or dodging, it was too clumsy compared to the wooden puppet.
This puppet that is almost the same height is not a puppet made of wood, but a mechanical puppet pieced together from disassembled parts of the [PX-911 Mechanical Limb].
Su Lun also knew that it was not that the mechanical limbs were not sensitive enough, but that his opening method was wrong.
During this period of research, he has figured out many functions of this mechanical limb.
The outer armor of the limbs has a special alloy that cannot make a dent even with double overlapping shots of alchemical bullets. There are also various weapons hidden in the limbs, including knives, guns, energy cannons, telescopic metal ropes, jets...
Once taken apart, it is simply a collection of various top-level technological weapons.
There is also a mechanical heart with pumping function and a mechanical lung that supplies oxygen...
And these are not the most amazing things.
During this period of experimentation, Su Lun discovered that the most incomprehensible technology on these mechanical limbs was the highly sensitive mechanical contacts that could be triggered by bioelectricity.
This is a very cutting-edge laboratory-level technology, so advanced that it far surpasses steampunk. Su Lun even thought that the technology tree of this world had reached the level of cyber "neuromechanics".
The presence of these highly sensitive touch elements means that, in theory, the movement of mechanical limbs can be directly controlled by connecting to human nerves!
Su Lun also thought that this limb might be what Danny said was another top-secret project cooperating between the Black Tower Medical Research Department and the Machinery Department - the Super Mechanical Warrior Project.
Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that I found it on a transport truck sent to the laboratory.
After Su Lun discovered this, he also restored the complete structure of this mechanical limb in his mind. Those missing parts may also be a complete human nervous system, or other driving organizations of some kind of alchemy equipment.
There is no intelligent control system in this world, so just install a human brain and create a cyborg human.
As long as they are covered with a layer of bionic skin, they will look no different from humans!
This is more thorough than these "new school" alchemists in the outer city. They are still at the level of transforming mechanical limbs, while the top laboratories in the inner city have already developed warriors with almost all mechanical limbs.
Su Lun guessed that the woman with a bounty on her head was probably such a mechanical warrior.
.......
However, mechanical limbs involve too many cutting-edge laboratory-level technologies, and it is simply not possible for one person to study them thoroughly.
Su Lun has no intention of selling this thing, nor does he intend to cut off his own head and connect it to it.
So, in his hands he could only disassemble the parts.
He removed the indestructible dagger from the mechanical arm and put it on his puppet. He also removed the blade-like spring blade from the mechanical leg and gave it to another one. Then the boiler with high-precision components was no longer needed, so the alloy outer panel was removed and a bulletproof puppet was made. As for those mechanical guts, they gave him a lot of inspiration for "Iron Man III"...
Su Lun is tinkering with the mechanical puppet and is very busy.
But suddenly, his ears moved slightly, and an unusual sound came into his ears.
Su Lun stopped what he was doing and suddenly turned his head to stare.
He was even more sure. There was a sudden sound of breathing on the dissecting table in the corner of the basement, which was separated by a transparent curtain!
"Eh..."
Hearing the faint movement, instead of being surprised, he was overjoyed: "It's done!"
Su Lun ignored the puppet in his hand and walked over quickly.
At this time, his eyes lit up as he looked at the corpse with a slightly undulating chest on the autopsy table.
.......
Half a month ago, Su Lun went to the black market to find Mr. Hei and translated those profound cipher texts, and then successfully deciphered the "distortion suppression potion" developed by the crazy warlock who refined living corpses a thousand years ago. "formula.
Thankfully, Danny's original job at "Institute No. 7" was to study distortion suppression. Although the ancient formula is very complicated and there are some incomprehensible links, because many theoretical links are interlinked, he combined the knowledge he mastered and successfully produced the first batch of "distortion inhibitors" yesterday. "!
There was no shortage of corpses in the outer city, and Su Lun immediately found a fresh corpse to try. After the [Second Generation X Serum] was injected according to dosage, the corpse began to slowly become active. However, the effect of the second-generation serum is much worse than that of the original solution, and it was already the third injection. If it doesn't work again, he may plan to inject a fourth shot.
Unexpectedly, the corpse suddenly appeared to be breathing!
It looks like a sleeping living person, but according to the diary, it is just a soulless shell. Even the characteristics of a living person are not considered to be the corpse's own, but entirely the active substances in the "X serum" that have transformed the body and forced the body's tissues to resurrect. Even in a sense, this corpse is no longer a human corpse.
Just a moment after taking a breath, Su Lun looked at the dark red marks that gradually appeared on the body, and the overall skin color gradually turned blue. He secretly said: "The skin turned blue, the markings appeared, and it really started to become distorted. ..."
The diary recorded the process of this distortion in detail, and Su Lun was not surprised at all.
He didn't waste any time, took out a distortion-inhibiting injection and injected it into the corpse.
After a while, the spread of the distorted markings began to slow down.
Su Lun was not idle either. He took out the rune pen and began to draw basic runes on the breathing corpse.
[Corpse Revitalization Rune], [Level I Dark Attribute Demon Gathering Rune], [Wind Element Cycle Condensation Rune], [Level I Life Rune]...
The materials have been prepared a long time ago, and the runes have been practiced very well in the past few days.
There is no need for him to study it himself, he can just follow the drawing order recorded in the diary and draw it layer by layer.
These are some low-level runes and are not difficult to draw.
As described in the diary, Chekov used this set of low-level runes to create an active corpse that he felt was "useless".
Su Lun knew that he would definitely not be able to create the terrifying blue-skinned monsters in the cursed space with these low-level runes, and he had no intention of doing so.
What he wants is not the ultimate research of "resurrecting corpses", but just a "living corpse" that can maintain normal life characteristics!
.......
Three hours later.
Su Li has painted the corpse with various alternating runes of yellow, black, white and red.
The runes on the entire corpse combine the four basic elements of "earth, wind, water, and fire", and then connect them in cycles to create endless life.
"The ancient warlock who created this set of runes is really talented..."
Su Lun put down the talisman pen, looked at his work, and sighed.
He can master these low-level runes proficiently, but cannot understand the principles. Only a small amount of materials are consumed to make these runes run continuously, which involves extremely high rune attainments.
It is also very convenient to repaint runes in the future.
After the runes were drawn, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.
Having done what needed to be done, he began to examine the deformed state of the corpse.
"The X serum changed the tissue structure of the corpse, and the muscle strength was significantly enhanced. However, while the distortion-inhibiting drug took effect, it also inhibited part of the efficacy of the serum..."
Su Lun is already very satisfied with the result.
There are various signs that the living corpse he created for the first time is almost successful!
He is not trying to create some "hated warrior". It doesn't matter if the corpse is strong or weak, as long as it can bear the backlash of the black scythe for him.
After a while, the body's complexion turned completely blue.
"It's done!"
Su Lun was delighted.
This also means that the serum-modified corpse has been stabilized. Although there are still some enhancements to the subsequent zombies, this can be considered a successful "rune zombie".
......
Creating living corpses is only the first step. The important thing is that Su Lun plans to use it to verify his conjecture.
He pulled the body with rigid threads and stood up.
The living corpse is like a sleepwalker, standing there with eyes closed and a dull expression. Seemingly alive but not alive, in this dark underground room, it looks a little creepy.
"The muscles are strong enough to support the body, and the joints are normal, so I fully meet the requirements..."
Su Lun checked the status of the living corpse.
He has previously measured that to use the black sickle, at least two necessary conditions need to be met: it has life characteristics and has dark spiritual power poured into it!
The backlash of the curse is likely to be directly related to these two conditions.
"Living corpse" can satisfy just that!
After being transformed by the X serum, the dark spiritual power in the corpse surged, and it was even much taller than an ordinary professional, with a slight overflow.
This is just right, and saves Su Lun from finding another way to activate the corpse to release dark spiritual power.
Su Lun fixed the black sickle in the hands of the living corpse.
At this moment, the black fire overflowing from the sickle seemed to be stimulated by the dark spiritual power, and it immediately started to boil.
Seeing this, Su Lun felt vaguely that his guess was correct.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to use the steel wire to pull the corpse's arm and scratch it lightly. It seemed as if he heard a cutting sound. Not far from the tip of the sickle, a small space crack appeared strangely.
"Sure enough, a space crack appeared!"
Seeing this, Su Lun's face overflowed with anticipation.
This time, he did not use any dark spiritual power to infuse his body, but he succeeded.
He is almost certain that his guess is correct!
After this slash, he did not move any further.
I put down the puppet and began the long process of waiting for the backlash.
.......
An hour later.
Su Lun didn't feel anything strange about himself, but at this time, he looked at the right arm of the living corpse in front of him, and a **** mouth suddenly appeared without warning.
"It's done!"
Suellen knew that this was a sign that the curse of the scythe was backlashing.
"My guess is indeed right. As long as the two conditions of life form and dark spiritual power are met, the space crack can be cut!"
At this time, Su Lun's face was full of energy, as if he saw a glimmer of light in the foggy future.
Wherever the sickle passes, it will be cut in two!
[Hypnos' Black Scythe of Night], which could only be used to gamble with the enemy in the past, has now become a controllable killing weapon.
The curse backlash will not be applied to the body, which means that he can control the living zombies and slash without any scruples.
There is also an unexpected surprise, because the transformation of "X serum" gives the living corpse super self-healing ability. After the wound appeared, it was slowly recovering.
This means that as long as this living corpse is not killed once, it can be recycled!
People who use scythes are also concerned about the impact of maiming them on combat effectiveness, but the same is not true for living corpses.
What Su Lun wants is a puppet. As long as the living corpse can cut through the cracks in space, it doesn't matter to him even if it has missing arms and legs.
He estimated that it could probably slash five or six times in a row before the corpse died suddenly!
You can kill a lord-level spider queen with one sword. What is the concept of five or six swords?
This means that Su Lun now has the ability to kill high-level professionals!
However, Su Lun was not too excited. This was the result that he had expected.
Next, he will face more problems.
The experiment was successful, but there are still many problems before it can reach the level of actual combat.
He looked at the living corpse on the autopsy table, dragging his chin and thinking: "The living corpse is not flexible enough to control now. If it really wants to fight, there is still a lot that needs to be improved... The muscle strength of the corpse is enough for it to stand and support its body, but It cannot walk. What if it is equipped with a mechanical skeleton and a steam-powered boiler? Well... the current technology is not mature and it is even more inconvenient."
As he thought about it, his thoughts began to wander.
"The phenomenon of the overflow of dark spiritual power from living corpses also needs to be controlled, so that the intensity of cutting out space cracks can be controlled..."
"The slashing amplitude and the infused dark spiritual power determine the size of the space crack, but precise distance control requires more attempts to get accurate data..."
Now that there are living corpses, there is no need for Su Lun to take risks in such dangerous attempts.
There are also ninety-seven [Second Generation X Serum], enough for him to create more living corpses and get the precise data he wants.
But looking at the two-meter-long black scythe, Su Lun muttered in his heart: "Also, the biggest problem is that neither the living corpse nor the scythe can be put into the storage ring, so it is difficult to carry it with you."
"Hey... Didn't Mr. Hei say before that the puppet master's second-level career advancement direction can choose 'space ability'. Certain high-quality space curse materials can give people the ability to create real folding spaces. To It would be perfect if we get a folding space that can hold living corpses and scythes. However, it seems that those cursed objects are not easy to find..."
