Chapter 473– Only Good Stuff Here !

Soul device? Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit?
Lan Xuanyu obviously knew about it. This was a revolutionary research in the history of soul equipmennt’s development. The results of this research came from Tang Sect and Shrek Academy. This research was later hailed as the foundation of modern s.p.a.ce navigation energy.
It was because of this research that they were able to use a small volume of s.p.a.ce to carry a large amount of energy, allowing a s.p.a.cecraft to have sufficient power and eventually giving birth to s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+ps.
This research appeared about 10,000 years ago. After 10,000 years of continuous evolution and improvement, it was now very safe and reliable, and its power was even stronger. Almost all of the power cores inside s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+ps were built on it.
The Positive Circulation Source Soul Circuit had also developed into multiple types, colony source core, array formation source cores, and so on.
After the appearance of the array formation source core, the current modern s.p.a.ce wars.h.i.+ps were born. At that time, scientists started researching in reverse and continued to invest large amounts of resources into research and development on single source cores. This was because the larger and smaller the energy contained in a single source core was, the larger its total capacity.
There was no doubt that this was the latest generation’s single source core. It could be used on a purple mecha and turn it into an interstellar mecha. Its energy level was undoubtedly extremely high.
There was a price tag below as well—two purple emblems.
En, not too expensive, Lan Xuanyu thought.
If his cla.s.smates were here and knew what he was thinking, they would probably fight him. Two purple emblems were enough to make a top-notch One-Word Battle Armor!
Tang Zhenhua said, “Single source cores are very good stuff. Our academy and Tang Sect’s joint research team is the most advanced in the entire Federation. Don’t look at how expensive it is, it is quite good. It can even power a black-rank mecha.”
Lan Xuanyu nodded. “Teacher, when do you think I can make my own mecha?”
Tang Zhenhua glanced at him and said, “We’ll talk about it when you’re able to pa.s.s my test for you. In my heart, mechas and Battle Armors are actually no different; they’re both a part of our bodies. Hence, whether it’s Battle Armors or mechas, they have to be compatible with us soul masters. So, you need to be able to craft them with your own abilities.”
“Battle Armors can be nurtured by the user and constantly improve its compatibility with the user, thus improving along with the user’s cultivation. But it is very difficult for mechas to do this unless you use G.o.d-rank metals, but that is obviously impossible. So instead of wasting resources, it is better to wait until you have a deeper understanding of mechas. The current standard mechas are enough for you to use during practice. Oh right, starting from next week, I will give you an additional mecha combat cla.s.s. It will be in the pod simulator.”
“…” Lan Xuanyu felt that he had spoken too much. He was already so busy that his world was turning upside down. Add another mecha cla.s.s…
More importantly, he felt that the mecha cla.s.s that Tang Zhenhua was talking about should be different from what he would learn in cla.s.s, right? He had learned his lesson from the soul wars.h.i.+p piloting cla.s.s.
Tang Ying covered his mouth and chuckled. “Junior, you should be happy. Teacher Tang is a figure of authority in the field of mecha in our academy. Whether it is production or piloting, very few people can compare to me.”
Lan Xuanyu was stunned. A figure of authority in the academy? Does this also include the Inner Court?
Tang Zhenhua obviously guessed what he was thinking and his face darkened because there weren’t many people in the Inner court who would research mechas…
He was a figure of authority, but he didn’t have enough resources to create a top-notch mecha like the one that destroyed the Red Skull pirates.
As he continued walking, Lan Xuanyu’s gaze landed on the second pillar. This is…
The projection was displaying an ink-colored skeleton that floated there, emitting a faint black mist. It looked like a leg bone with its description below.
The right leg bone of a 1,000-year Phantasmagoric Leopard. After a detailed appraisal, it was confirmed to be imbued with the core soul skill of a Phantasmagoric Leopard, Phantasmagoric Clone. It was able to transform into an individual with the same appearance as the user in an instant and could completely simulate him. Furthermore, it would have 30% of the user’s attack power. The duration would vary from person to person, at least 15 seconds.
Lan Xuanyu’s eyes lit up. ‘Good heavens, this is a rare item! Although 1,000 years isn’t considered very strong, the soul skill it contains is simply too powerful.’
A doppelganger with 30% of one’s combat power would definitely be able to come up with many different tactics in battle. What a good thing!
However, when he saw the price, his face darkened. Five purple emblems.
If a purple badge was worth two million federal coins, then it was ten million federal coins.
“It’s not expensive. Soul bones are the most scarce resources to begin with.” Tang Zhenhua glanced at him and said indifferently, “But forget about a 1,000-year soul bone. You must have foresight in this aspect because although a soul bone can evolve after fusing with it, it is much more difficult than a soul ring’s evolution. It will consume a lot of your energy and resources. You might as well use a 10,000-year soul one directly after you have sufficient funds. As for a 100,000-year soul bone, there isn’t any here. You can take a look when you enter the Inner Court in the future. But that thing needs to be exchanged for a red emblem. Just think about it, don’t take it seriously.”
Lan Xuanyu’s face darkened. He suddenly felt that he was still that pauper. ‘What the h.e.l.l is a red emblem?’
Continuing forward, Lan Xuanyu was immediately attracted by the largest projection.
It was an arm, or more accurately, a mechanical arm. There were intricate and complicated metal structures on its surface, as well as many mystical patterns. The structure looked extremely complicated. The metal itself was overflowing with light and color, as though it was alive.
“Right arm implant. It can replace one’s right arm and is made of Spirit Forged metal. It can connect to the nerves of one’s body and is no different from controlling a normal arm. It is equipped with six heavy machine guns and a super high-frequency vibration sword…”
This metal arm was equipped with six to seven types of weapons. Just by looking at its name, one would feel fear.
Implant, implant an equipment directly into one body and replace one’s right arm?
Shrek Academy actually had this?
Tang Zhenhua saw Lan Xuanyu’s attention and said in a low voice, “Implantation has a lot of different perspectives and opinions in the scientific world. Supporters believe that this will be the focus of the next phase of development for soul devices. The perfect product from the fusion of a human body and soul devices. It could even be compared to Battle Armors.”
“Initially, implantation was mainly used on the disabled so that they would live the same life as the healthy ones, but it was quickly developed for military purposes. What you see is a high-grade implant. A Spirit Forged metal already has a certain degree of life, and it is extremely effective when used for implantation. If it was made from a divine metal, it could even turn into a part of one’s body at any time. You wouldn’t be able to see any difference between it and a normal body, but it would have a strong fighting power.”
“And for people who are in opposition, the development of implantation and modern artificial intelligence would cause them to worry that a high-level artificial intelligence would appear in the future and become a threat to mankind. At the same time, implants would replace a part of the human body, or even the majority of the human body. There are many ethical questions as to whether such a modified human still belongs to mankind.”
Lan Xuanyu said, “In that case, does it mean that implants are meaningless to our academy?”
Tang Zhenhua looked at him and said, “No, it’s the opposite. It’s actually very meaningful to us. The academy has done quite a bit of research in this area, including how to combine implants and Battle Armors and mechas. Some disabled students will be able to recover their battle power through implants and even increase their battle power.”
