Looking at these things that were clearly not human, Yahiko exclaimed:
"What are these things? How did they get in here?"
Mukai couldn't go into too much detail about the origins of the White Zetsu yet, and could only use the fact that the fortress barrier had discovered these monsters as an excuse.
White Zetsu couldn't escape the impact of the electric charge, and Sasori, who was covering them, also put away his weapons.
Mukai directly sealed the three White Zetsu corpses with sealing scrolls and said to the other still-shaken villagers:
"Don't worry, everyone. Our camp has a very powerful monitoring barrier that can prevent any monsters from sneaking in."
I'm sorry to have startled everyone today. Tomorrow I'll compensate each of you with a small bag of rice!
" Mukai is so generous!"
"Thank you Mukai! We'll definitely work hard!"
"What an excellent leader! And of course, Yahiko is a wonderful young man too!"
As things calmed down, Mukai gathered everyone in the fortress together.
" Mukai, who sent these monsters?"
Pakura examined the strange White Zetsu corpse and said with a frown.
Mukai continued to use the unknown monster as an excuse, only reminding everyone to be careful.
As the fortress was built, the barriers and monitoring systems became more sophisticated, making it even more difficult for White Zetsu to sneak in.
Without a doubt, these White Zetsu were used to monitor Nagato.
Sure enough, when everyone else left to rest, Nagato, wearing a special helmet, deliberately walked at the back and whispered to Mukai Xiang:
" Mukai, I encountered this monster when I was a child."
Did I cause this trouble?
Mukai patted Nagato, who always seemed a little insecure, and comforted him:
Don't overthink it. You can trust me as much as you trust Konan.
"As long as I'm here, I won't let these monsters hurt you."
Nagato nodded before leaving.
Mukai rubbed his temples and returned to the power room next to the puppet workshop.
Sure enough, Scorpion had already moved the workbench next to the Fortress Core and was studying the new thing with great interest.
"Go rest, Scorpion. The Fortress Core isn't going anywhere."
If Scorpion lived in modern society, he would definitely be an engineering genius.
That level of enthusiasm makes them the kind of graduate student professors love.
Without turning his head, the scorpion said:
"Sleep? What are you talking about? The Fortress Core capabilities are so strong, I need to study them carefully."
Mukai's single sentence effectively ended the idea of researching scorpions:
" At the Fortress Core, reserve 10% of the computing power to monitor the camp; allocate the rest to the analysis and development of the Ten Fingers Technique!"
" Fortress Core received. Analyzing immediately. Requires significant power. Requesting authorization."
"Power mobilization agreed."
As the command was given, the large Soul Stone and other smaller nodes in the cabinet at the Fortress Core began to flash at a high frequency.
"Got it! You can work on it now, hahaha!"
Mukai immediately filled all the computing power of the Fortress Core, then ran back to his room with a wicked grin.
Sleep!
"Aaaaaah!"
Faced with the Fortress Core, which was operating at full capacity but no longer responding, Scorpion could only scratch his head in helpless rage.
He had no choice but to take the blanket and lie down in the cabinet at the Fortress Core.
Scorpion, an engineering fanatic, felt unusually at ease in this place with its extremely high electromagnetic fields, and drifted off to sleep accompanied by a low hum.
In his dream, Scorpion dreamt of his parents again. In the dream, which was both sad and happy, Scorpion suddenly felt someone pushing him.
"Scorpion! Scorpion!"
Scorpion groggily opened his eyes, saw Mukai's concerned face, and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
"It's nothing, I just had a nightmare."
Scorpion sat up, exhaled a long breath, and then realized that the Fortress Core had stopped flashing wildly.
"Huh? It finished analyzing so quickly?"
Upon hearing Scorpion's inquiry, the Fortress Core quickly responded:
"Yes, Scorpion, the analysis is complete."
Now, based on your combat style, I will provide my analytical suggestions.
The Fortress Core is actually an adaptation of the Ten Fingers Technique based on the deduction of the intelligent agent, the Komushi.
Based on the Fortress Core deductions, it proposed a puppet collaboration strategy to Scorpion that is currently impossible to implement.
" Swarm Coordination "
The core of this approach is to build a miniaturized Fortress Core -level node on the scorpion's main puppet.
This node is used to analyze nodes that coordinate and control other puppet squads.
This operation has more advantages than the original Time-Space Scorpion's Performance of a Hundred Puppets.
Firstly, it's decentralized; each puppet no longer needs to be controlled by the scorpion itself.
The central intelligent core within the core mech is responsible for synchronized configuration, tactical deduction, and issuing overall commands.
Each puppet can perform tactical actions such as defense, offense, and roaming to contain others, based on its limited computing nodes and the specific circumstances.
Even when subject to interference or exceeding the control range, it can autonomously respond appropriately based on the preset instruction set.
This is equivalent to each puppet possessing limited intelligence.
The second characteristic is synergy.
These puppets, controlled by individual nodes, are no longer independent entities.
Instead, they can cooperate with each other. For example, during an attack, multiple puppets can launch a saturation attack on the target.
In defense, as long as there are enough of them, they can form a defense matrix, creating a super-strong defense like Multiple Rashomon.
The third, and most important, point is decentralization.
When necessary, such as when the main scorpion being controlled is under Genjutsu, or when one is too busy to control other puppets,
Each puppet squad can operate independently by forming a network according to the pre-set emergency plan.
If one core node is attacked and damaged, the other computing nodes can immediately take over.
These combat teams form a multi-path, multi-node parallel network.
They share vision and combat objectives in peacetime, and can form more efficient tactical squads at any time when necessary.
This idea is derived from drone warfare; in that case, Scorpion alone will be an entire army!
A force even more powerful than his Performance of a Hundred Puppets!
After hearing this deductive reasoning, Scorpion's mouth dropped open in astonishment:
Is this still a puppeteer?
According to this grand plan, he is simply terrifyingly powerful!
However, Mukai soon poured cold water on his enthusiasm:
"Scorpion, this is the version that the intelligent agent, Komushi, originally deduced. Some details have been added to the core fortress."
There are many bottlenecks hindering this concept, such as the high-density energy storage.
And the miniaturization of the core computing center means that even the creation of each of your puppets needs to be redesigned.
These things cannot be achieved in a day or two.
Scorpion rubbed his face, then extended his fist and bumped fists with Mukai:
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. This is such a grand plan that it's worth my lifetime to realize."
Thank you, Mukai! This magnificent idea captivates me even more than timeless art!
Mukai grinned and bumped fists with Scorpion:
"It won't take that long. We can modify the existing puppets and start building one squad at a time!"
We must eat one bite at a time, and we will become stronger!
Just then, the three large orbs of light in Mukai's sea of consciousness suddenly resumed their regular rhythmic movement.
Different voices echoed within Mukai's sea of consciousness:
" The Spirit Transformation Technique can be used in this way! What a brilliant idea!"
"Has the war between ninjas changed? It's practically one person is an army!"
"Hey, Sand Ninja with such lofty ambitions, you were lucky to have my secret technique help you out during that crisis!"
