"Activate battle mode!"
Wang Zhiwen's voice echoed throughout the experimental workshop.
The two-meter-tall Spirit Machinery puppet instantly received the command.
The complex pupils, which had originally glowed with a pale blue light, suddenly flashed with a dazzling red light!
The puppet's entire aura changed instantly.
A series of mechanical transmissions resounded incessantly!
"Snap!"
"Snap! Snap!"
"Click-clack-click~!"
As the mechanical gears turned, two shoulder guns, each about the length of an arm and with a caliber of 50 mm, popped out from behind it.
The pitch-black cannon barrel exuded a terrifying aura.
At the same time, two enormous Spiritual Power swords, each about 1.56 meters long, shot out from his left and right wrists.
The compression Law Artifact and Formation Inscription roared incessantly.
As the Spirit Stone were rapidly consumed, the entire Spirit Machinery puppet was no longer the peaceful and civilized entity it had been just moments before.
It's definitely a weapon of war.
Xu Mu, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but swallow hard.
To be honest, it's been so many years.
His cultivation level has also gradually improved, and he is now almost at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer.
But faced with this humanoid weapon, he had absolutely no desire to fight it.
Their appearance, armed from head to toe, even to the teeth, was enough to send chills down your spine.
"Ready! Test the energy target!"
Wang Zhiwen suddenly became excited.
Now that's more like a war Spirit Machinery puppet!
He shouted, and a massive, millstone-sized energy testing target was pushed out.
It was firmly fixed in the open center of the experimental workshop.
" Little Puppet! Little Puppet!"
"I'm here, Master!"
"Attack that test target with all your might, exhaust all your Spirit Stone energy, and upload the combat data to the quantum computer one second before your energy runs out."
The artificial intelligence inside Little Puppet is extremely powerful.
The light in the eyes is not just for decoration, but rather it houses two high-speed camera lenses.
It can analyze and understand voice commands with great accuracy and identify targets.
Upon hearing Wang Zhiwen's voice, the light in the Spirit Machinery puppet's eyes narrowed slightly.
It seems like they are organizing orders.
The next second.
The light suddenly solidified, and an emotionless, mechanically synthesized voice instantly rang out.
"Receive!"
"Then we'll launch a full-scale attack on the test target and upload the combat data to the quantum computer a split second before our energy runs out."
"Attack preparation, three, two... one!"
"Boom!"
The moment the countdown reached zero, the two massive shoulder cannons on the Spirit Machinery puppet's shoulders simultaneously charged up.
The Spirit Stone in his abdomen shrank at a rate visible to the naked eye.
A surge of Spiritual Power filled it.
A pale blue light accumulated in the cannon muzzle, dazzling the eyes, before bursting forth.
It struck the test target hard.
"Boom!"
The deafening sound vibrated our eardrums, and the smoke from the energy surge obscured our vision.
But Xu Mu saw it very clearly.
Within his Qi Refinement vision, two pairs of vector nozzles simultaneously extended from the soles of the Spirit Machinery puppet's feet and its back.
The surging Spiritual Power transformed into blazing flames that shot out intensely.
It launched his body out.
The speed was so fast that Xu Mu's pupils suddenly contracted.
Even he couldn't achieve that speed, let alone dodge it.
The Spirit Machinery puppets did not stop once they got close.
Two enormous, 1.56-meter-long lightsabers of Spiritual Power slashed at the test target.
"Clang!"
"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!"
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss!"
Amidst the ear-piercing crashes, the test target was violently hacked away.
The Spiritual Power lightsaber is like a laser beam; when compressed, it becomes as sharp as a blade.
Sparks flew everywhere when it was scraped.
The chopping continued for a full thirty minutes, leaving everyone stunned.
Xu Mu's jaw dropped slightly as he realized just how terrifying the combat power of the Spirit Machinery puppet before him was.
However, as the Spirit Stone in his abdomen gradually shrank, it vanished into nothingness.
The Spirit Machinery puppet's movements gradually subsided.
Its movements suddenly stopped when the red light in its eyes began to flash rapidly.
Following the procedure, the images recorded during the test, as well as the output energy data, were all uploaded to the quantum computer.
Then all movement ceased completely, and the area fell silent.
"Is it... is it all over...?"
"Is this Spirit Machinery puppet... really a first-tier puppet?"
Xu Mu murmured, as if he hadn't quite recovered yet.
Wang Zhiwen couldn't contain his excitement any longer!
"Quickly! Organize and summarize the experimental data from just now."
"I need all the combat strength data, including speed, ranged attack, melee attack, and Spirit Stone energy utilization efficiency!"
"Yes!"
The staff member in front of the computer responded loudly.
Fingers flew across the keyboard, producing a series of clattering sounds.
Everyone got busy.
Even Xu Mu couldn't help but wonder what level of combat power this Spirit Machinery puppet had displayed.
Soon, a detailed report appeared on the quantum computer's large screen.
[ Spirit Puppet 1.0 Practical Test Data Analysis Report]
[Instantaneous Speed: With the vector nozzles fully open, short-distance sprints can reach 80 meters per second for 15 seconds, approaching the limit of the Qi Refining Ninth Layer Movement Method ]
[Ranged Firepower: Dual-Shoulder Spiritual Power Cannon, single shot charges in 1.5 seconds, power approximately three times that of Qi Refinement Eighth Layer Fireball Technique, range 300 meters, can fire 12 times consecutively]
[Melee DPS: Dual-wielding psionic lightsabers, with cutting power exceeding that of a Tier 1 mid-level Law Artifact, capable of effectively destroying the standard magical shields of the Qi Refinement Realm ]
[Sustained Combat: With full energy (standard Low-Grade Spirit Stone ), high-intensity combat can last approximately 35 minutes]
[Overall assessment: Offensive power reaches the level of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, but physical defense is only equivalent to Qi Refinement Sixth Layer. ]
[Optimization suggestion: Replace with second-tier spiritual materials to improve defense, which can directly threaten Foundation Establishment Early Stage cultivators. Alternatively, try using a cluster tactic, with three to five units working together to control multiple fronts. With their firepower and speed advantage, they can effectively restrain and threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators at the current stage.]
luxury!
This data intensity report can only be described as luxurious!
Despite being made of only mid-grade first-level materials, he was comparable to a cultivator at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer.
If multiple Spirit Machinery puppets work together, they can even force someone to reach the Foundation Establishment.
It's absolutely terrifying.
This is still a first-tier spiritual material; what if it were a second-tier or even third-tier one?
"There's hope! There's hope!"
" The Spirit Machinery puppets are even more effective than I expected."
"Especially at the Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment, using quantum computers for cluster combat control is simply overwhelming for cultivators of the same level."
"As for high-level Spirit Machinery puppets... they just lack resources!"
Wang Zhiwen's voice was filled with surprise as he rushed to the large screen, his tone brimming with delight.
It seems to be calculating.
He typed away rapidly on the keyboard.
Divine Sense can control puppets.
If quantum computers can control Spirit Machinery puppets, there's no reason why souls can't too!
"Where is Comrade Lu Yao? Has her family matter been resolved?"
I desperately need her assistance with my research!
Wang Zhiwen seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to ask the person next to him.
Three days ago, Lu Yao and Lu Dahai both took leave and haven't been able to return yet.
Everyone present knew what the two were going there for.
But we don't know when they will return.
The staff around him shook their heads.
Only Xu Mu had a strange expression and a subtle tone.
"Academician Wang, I heard that our team leader and Comrade Lu Yao..."
"They're still taking turns apologizing to Comrade Lu Li's mother!"
