Soul Dao Information Consciousness Workshop.
Inside the massive glass curtain wall.
A rough-looking, first-order puppet, over two meters tall, stood in the center of the workshop.
The puppet's body is made of black iron as its skeleton and blue rock as its muscle, with rough riveting.
There are Talisman Inscription and engravings at the joints, shimmering with a faint light.
The Spirit Stone was exposed on its chest and abdomen, with several deep grooves running through it, and Spiritual Power surging within.
Its entire body is simple and heavy, without any exquisite craftsmanship, exuding a solid and brute force.
These are the native puppets of the cultivation Immortal Realm.
Lu Li had heard of this thing before, when he was still in the Foundation Establishment Qi Refinement.
But I've never seen it before. After all, this thing is extremely expensive for cultivators of the same level, and not very useful for higher-level cultivators.
It gradually declined.
Even within the Azure Pool Sect, there are very few disciples who can craft puppets.
He found this in the original Azure Pool Sect Treasury and sent it back.
Wang Zhiwen and some professors and scholars who study robotics are very interested in this.
In the past few days, with the help of the Dao of Artifact Refinement workshop and the assistance of cultivators such as Xu Mu, they have been able to overcome these challenges.
The construction techniques of this native puppet have been completely deciphered.
To be honest, this thing is not as complex as the most advanced humanoid robot on Blue Star right now.
It is a humanoid artifact made of several metal and stone materials, engraved with various Artifact Inscription, powered by Spirit Stone, and controlled by Divine Sense.
It is much cruder than Spirit Machinery Law Artifact.
However, Wang Zhiwen saw many possibilities in this thing.
"Comrade Xu Mu, in a moment you will sever the puppet's control Method Formula."
"I will try to send signals to the quantum computer; the puppet might react abnormally."
"Please be prepared to take over when the time comes."
Upon hearing Wang Zhiwen's voice, Xu Mu nodded.
Seeing this, the staff were already prepared.
They placed a Spirit Machinery helmet, engraved with strange Artifact Inscription, on the puppet's head.
At the same time, the Spirit Stone was removed from the puppet's abdomen, and only one Spirit Stone was placed in the groove on the helmet.
"Prepare, sever the Method Formula!"
As Wang Zhiwen's voice rang out, Xu Mu, who had previously refined the puppet, changed his hand gestures.
He used a hand Method Formula to sever the connection between his own Divine Sense and that of the puppet.
The puppet instantly froze in place, as if it were a lifeless object.
"Disconnection successful! Awaken the send/receive rune, attempting online control!"
The sound continued to reverberate.
The switch on the Spirit Machinery helmet was turned on.
The Spirit Stone awakens, transforming into energy that drives and stimulates the runes within the puppet itself.
At the same time, relevant staff members typed on keyboards and entered code signals.
"Buzz~!"
The next second.
This over two-meter-tall local puppet from the Imprisoned Dragon Realm seemed to have been stimulated by something, trembling incessantly.
Xu Mu, who was standing to the side, immediately became alert.
Although it was just a puppet, its entire body was hard.
Its hardness is comparable to that of a tank, and it is also extremely powerful and heavy.
If it were to go berserk, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the experimental workshop.
He must be fully prepared.
Fortunately, the scenario he feared did not occur.
The puppet's structure is so simple that it can be taken over with just an Spirit Machinery device.
Amidst the clatter of keyboards from the staff, the first-tier golem clumsily but powerfully took its first steps.
Inside the experimental workshop, they moved back and forth, turned around, and jumped.
It even activated an attack Talisman Inscription, unleashing a fireball the size of a watermelon.
The bombardment struck the experimental target that had been prepared not far away.
"Boom!"
The fireball dissipated, leaving trails of smoke.
In just a few movements, one-third of the Spirit Stone embedded in the helmet had been consumed.
"Experimental records show that the movements are sluggish, far below the level of Qi Refinement cultivator."
"The defense seems decent, but the attack methods are limited."
"The destructive power is moderate, but the energy consumption is excessive, suggesting there may be unnecessary losses."
Wang Zhiwen calmly reported the experimental data of the first-order puppet.
This performance was far from satisfactory.
Honestly, no wonder this thing declined in the cultivation Immortal Realm.
Putting everything else aside, it wastes so many Spirit Stone, and its effect is only so-so.
It's probably what's recorded in those secret stories: some people bought the items after major repairs to guard their homes or to take care of their descendants.
"Yes, but this puppet has a lot of room for modification."
"The uses of puppets could actually be further refined."
"Attack is attack, defense is defense, speed is speed... logistics can be logistics."
There's no need to be so vague.
"And... why is the structure so clumsy? The structure could be completely readjusted."
"Perhaps using metallic spirit ore as the main material would be quite good. Yes! And Spiritual Power too. The output circuit for Spiritual Power must be streamlined, otherwise it's too wasteful..."
Wang Zhiwen chattered on and on, his eyes darting around as he paced back and forth on the crude puppet.
In his eyes, this level-one puppet was at most a magical, moving antique.
He had a bunch of ideas to make the puppet work more efficiently.
This makes it more Spirit Descent significant.
After all, no one wants to use such a clumsy thing as a body.
Of course, the Soul Dao Workshop alone could not complete this task independently.
They had to rely on the resources of other workshops.
Fortunately, I had prior experience in manufacturing full-body combat armor and Spirit Machinery Mech.
There were no major difficulties in reshaping and constructing the puppet.
Quantum computers can redesign blueprints and, once the circuit is established, can be directly put into production.
Soon, brand-new puppet prototypes resembling the T800 appeared in the Soul Dao Consciousness Information Workshop...
They are both two meters tall, but their appearances are quite different.
Streamlined silver armor covering the body, with shimmering spirit rings embedded in the joints.
The array of Spirit Stone inside the chest and abdomen is well-organized, allowing for efficient flow of Spiritual Power.
Its skull is smooth like silver bones, with compound eyes inside that gleam with spiritual light.
It's a perfect Spirit Machinery puppet!
Not only is the appearance different, but the new puppet prototype also has many more functions compared to the local puppet.
"Call..."
He took a deep breath and examined the newly created Spirit Machinery puppet.
Wang Zhiwen signaled to the staff beside him to activate the puppet.
The power button was activated.
"Buzz~!"
A stream of pure Spiritual Power flowed from the puppet's abdominal cavity, along the intricate Artifact Inscription, and instantly spread throughout its entire body.
On the silver Spirit Machinery skull, the composite amber eye sockets emitted a faint blue light.
"Ding! Welcome to Spirit Puppet 1.0."
"Is there anything I can help you with? You can call my name, Little Puppet, Little Puppet."
A mechanical, synthesized voice emanated from inside the puppet, echoing throughout the entire experimental workshop.
Yes, compared to the local puppets, Spirit Puppet 1.0 is equipped with the latest artificial intelligence and voice input.
Even a mortal, without knowing how to Hand Seals, can control this puppet!
Artificial intelligence and voice input are already very advanced technologies for Great Xia.
This is nothing to be surprised about for Wang Zhiwen.
What he was truly looking forward to was the puppet's combat effectiveness!
That's right, the Spirit Machinery puppets were originally designed to serve as weapons, not as personal butlers.
" Little Puppet, Little Puppet."
"I'm here! Master, is there anything I can do to help you?"
The indifferent, mechanical synthesized voice continued to ring.
Wang Zhiwen took a deep breath and raised his voice. "Activate! Battle mode!"
