The actual combat effectiveness aside, some of them just think about it and feel that the scene will be very beautiful.
The program effect is full.
"I am so happy that Lord Charles likes my little cuties." Lydia's flower plate has maintained this expression for a long time (#^.^#).
She also covered her face with petals to emphasize her shyness.
Roger勉强maintained his expression. He didn't dare to奢求more from this live version of "Closemouth and Shameful Flower".
After all, this is someone else's territory. If a real fight breaks out, he will be giving away for nothing.
"It is also your invention that makes me have enough expectations."
In Roger's view, these modified creatures, except for the automatic attributes of not devouring the genes of other species, already have some of the characteristics of the Zerg.
Devouring massive amounts of organic matter, and then rapidly proliferating to form organized troops.
They don't pursue quality, but just use a vast number to overwhelm the enemy.
The most important thing is that their expansion and proliferation speed is fast enough, and the entry threshold is much lower than that of automated magic puppets.
Lydia is a creative biochemical witch, and she also has enough enthusiasm to continuously improve these modified creatures, and boldly absorbs the new ideas Roger gave her.
On the battlefield against the Seven Gods, if these modified creatures go further, maybe there will be a Zerg invasion, bringing enough trouble to the Seven Gods?
No matter what universe, this is one of the ultimate disasters.
No matter how ancient the civilization and accumulation are, facing the rapidly reproducing insects that have as many enemies as there are substances, they will feel toothache.
Even gods may not be able to gain an advantage in the face of absolute numbers.
After confirming that Lydia's level and madness are far beyond his needs, Roger is willing to allocate more resources to her project.
He is already prepared to personally supervise the sea country's battle. If these base corals perform well enough, he will suggest that the project continue to rise in the empire's war sequence.
This world certainly cannot release insects casually, but if a System Child feels despair and frustration, maybe he needs an ultimate weapon that can perish together with the enemy?
The Chapter of Imbalance is preparing an answer in this regard, but it still needs a long development cycle.
In terms of pure destructive power, Lydia is temporarily leading.
As long as you are brave enough, biochemical modification can accidentally bring many surprises.
This kind of Gu-raising research is actually like drawing cards. The uncontrollable ones lead to a greater probability of losing everything, but it is also possible to get very terrifying things.
More funding, more crazy and bold ideas, Roger's visit has brought Lydia a lot.
About two hours later.
A petite figure with long black hair, wearing a white coat, and no more than 1.4 meters tall, appeared at the office door.
That familiar sexy voice sounded: "Lord Charles, the minimum magic core cost list you wanted."
"Ms. Lydia?" Roger looked at the loli in surprise.
"That's why I would rather be a pot of grass!" The black-haired loli raised her fist threateningly, feeling his surprise, and then showed a rather helpless expression.
Is it my fault that I don't grow taller?
ps. There is a burst update event for the anniversary celebration. I originally wanted to show off my hand speed, but when I took a look today, our team was crushed by the other side by one million words.
How can we win this?
In an instant, I lay flat...
Iron guys, it's not that I'm not up to par, it's that the other side really has a Gundam, right?
Chapter 185: Machines and Biochemistry are Archenemies
Lydia's label has always been willfulness. She has taken the word 'otaku' to the extreme in research. Even the meetings of the Arcane Society, she can always find various excuses not to go.
So Roger has actually never seen Lydia until now. Just listening to the voice, she is also a mature and elegant lady. As a result, a loli with a somewhat spoiled feeling suddenly appeared in front of her...
This contrast is a bit big.
Compared to her outstanding research and development capabilities, it can probably only be said that her soul is a giant, but her body forgot to grow up.
Roger shook hands with Lydia quite carefully, actually worried that some strange saplings would suddenly emerge from her body, or that a bug would bite him.
But fortunately, the loli's palm should also just be a very ordinary human palm with touch and temperature.
Lydia appeared in her true form, indicating that after the conversation just now, she had more recognition of Roger, and it was worth her spending time to negotiate in person.
It also shows that the attempt just now brought some very interesting results, and she wanted to have a face-to-face discussion with Roger:
"According to your request, we used different processes to create ten magic cores that meet the critical standard. The cost has indeed dropped significantly. If we find an appropriate way to mass produce them, we should be able to further reduce the cost and suppress it to within five gold coins."
This price already has the possibility of popularizing it among the vast number of imperial people.
Roger was naturally very excited: "Thank you for your cooperation, Ms. Lydia. With your technology, we can allow the empire's new generation and the current young and middle-aged labor force to quickly have the most basic magical talent."
The empire has many technologies, but in the past, it has always been pursuing becoming stronger, and magicians also thought of carrying out large-scale destruction and direct combat.
This kind of thinking cannot be corrected in a day or two, so Lydia has never considered what new applications "weakening" might bring.
Just like when the Eternal Night Empress first heard about the idea of Magic Cola, it turned out that magic can not only control the rapid growth of vines, but also create restrictive magic that provides great evasion space for enemies.
It can also extract the effect of stimulating plant growth itself and turn it into an emerging industry that greatly improves the level of agriculture.
This idea, first proposed by Roger, was quickly completed by the Arcane Society, and eventually made the empire's grain output rise steadily.
In addition, with the existence of state-owned farms operated by the empire, the use of a large number of alchemical agricultural machinery, and the application of high-yield and disease-resistant seeds, the empire's agriculture has developed rapidly in a short period of time.
Now, only one-fifth of the population is needed to meet the needs of the people across the country, avoid famine, and eat better and better.
There is even surplus grain that can be exported to generate income.
This is a great achievement that no matter how powerful empires in the past have failed to complete, and it was achieved with the help of Magic Cola.
It can be seen how much change breaking the inherent thinking can bring to the magical civilization.
Roger founded "New Arcana", which is actually bringing many ideas of technology to the current magicians of the empire.
Then, their intelligence will help the empire's technology complete its transformation.
But not everyone can change immediately, and not every time can break the inertia of past thinking.
Pursuing greater and stronger, and using magic to directly strengthen themselves, has been written into their DNA.
After Lydia grasped that the magic core is the key to magical talent, the first project she thought of was indeed to provide the empire with a way to mass-produce strong people.
Then the invention cost was too high.
In addition to being able to be used as a high-level reward for System Children to exchange, only the wealthy children in the future will be qualified to enjoy this transformation.
But without using those rare materials and complex processes to simulate high-level talents, just a critical level that can sense the existence of magic, the cost of such a magic core is indeed greatly reduced.
But Lydia can't think of a use.
Now Roger would rather wait and hopes to get a result, which really stimulates her curiosity.
A young man who can create an epoch-making book like "New Arcana" will definitely not aimlessly run to Life Orbit to do completely meaningless work, right?
So, she is not so much personally reporting on today's experimental results as she is curious about Roger himself and what kind of whimsical ideas he has about this technology.
As the Eternal Night Empress's personal doctor, Lydia has found that since Roger became active in the empire's political arena, a series of things that have happened have not required the Eternal Night Empress to work hard.
In this way, her physical fitness has naturally improved greatly, and there are fewer and fewer places where Lydia needs to worry about.
Naturally, Lydia is very grateful to Roger for what he has done for the Eternal Night Empress.
Of course, it is also because the Eternal Night Empress does not cause trouble, so she does not have to always worry about taking care of her, and can devote more energy to her research...
On balance, the latter component is more important.
Plastic sisterhood is nothing more than this!
Now, with Roger's head full of wild ideas, Lydia couldn't help but run over to take a look at what this newly promoted Duke looks like when the experiments around her came to an end.
Well, he also has two arms and two legs, nothing special, I thought he would have hands full of tentacles~
Lydia discussed some technical details with Roger and reminded:
"Now it's just theoretical feasibility. The implantation of magic cores will also be a difficult threshold to cross. You must consider the time cost. It will still take a lot of time for this technology to be truly popularized on a large scale."
Lydia paused and added: "If it is convenient for you, can you tell me where exactly this waste-level of magical talent is used?"
The magic core, this organelle, appears in the cells of everyone in the Eternal Night World.
However, the minimum threshold for different people to sense magic is different, which creates different magical talents: some people are born magicians, and some people can't even sense magic.
For example, Angelina, she is called a zero-magic physique and is considered to have no talent.
But those with talent also have strengths and weaknesses. Some people's talent is very weak, and they can only sense magic. It is impossible to cultivate.
The speed of meditating and absorbing magic is slower than the speed of dissipation, and they can't even accumulate enough magic to release a trick, so naturally they can never become a magician.
This is even worse magical talent than Roger's waste brother.
Back then, the Eternal Night Empress wanted to teach Roger a trick when he was a child, and it took a whole afternoon, letting little Ao learn for the first time that there are such stupid guys in the world.
Magic, isn't it just casting spells at will?
Roger did not answer directly, but asked Lydia a question in return: "You should have replaced the latest magic crystal energy array here to maintain the full output of the mage tower's combat state, right?"
Lydia nodded: "Yes, the combat power provided by these machines surprises me, and the safety factor of Life Orbit has greatly increased."
Roger nodded secretly. The main safety disruptors in her mouth are definitely not foreign enemies, but the various creatures she raises and transforms here...
"So this shows one thing, why should humans do what machines can do themselves?"
Roger showed a smile, "The magic crystal devices we have recently manufactured all have a hidden threshold when operated, magical talent. Even the weakest talent can directly operate the magic crystal devices; if you can't sense it, you must use the Soul-Mimicking Bracelet, and the operation accuracy and reaction speed will be greatly reduced."
"Is it still related to the Virtual Magic God plan?"
"More than that, the new generation of mechanical equipment of the Chapter of Imbalance, which uses magic crystals as energy, has this characteristic, because this can greatly simplify the control chip, and the output limit of the equipment produced is also higher."
Roger explained Frankenstein's genius idea, preparing to promote it as the core change of the second generation of magic crystal mechanical standards.
This standard can be established, mainly because of the popularity of the Soul-Mimicking Bracelet.
Even if not everyone will explore the Fearless Space, the Soul-Mimicking Bracelet, as a watch, also has the function of sending brainwave messages anytime and anywhere, and more and more ordinary people cannot live without it.
This is a function that Afu researched after being conferred as a god, and the Arcane Society studied the relationship between gods and faith, and completed it by doing a small kernel push to the Soul-Mimicking Bracelet based on the prayer ceremony.
The core change is still in the Fearless Space, where the simulated godhead is used as the server receiving end.
In this way, users of the Soul-Mimicking Bracelet can silently think of a specific cipher text at the beginning in their minds, and then send it to the server, and then the server will forward the following content to the designated user according to the revelation of the gods.
This point-to-point message sending method is a bit like a brainwave version of WeChat. It avoids the problem of many people's literacy rate through voice messages, and at the same time greatly strengthens the communication efficiency of this era and reduces communication costs.
Another big killer is that this service is free.
Every message sent by users is mixed with emotions and is a kind of feeding for the Eris Magic Worm.
The amount is very, very small, but little by little, it accumulates into a tower. Relying on the huge user base and long time, not all Eris Magic Worms have the luck to be conferred as gods like Afu, but their vigorous growth is inevitable.
With growth, the result is a wider and more real Fearless Space, which can accommodate more users, so users are also a valuable asset. How can the empire be willing to charge them?
Only the Terra Kingdom is preparing to update this function, sell Totem Bracelet 2, and reap the leeks of the great powers.
It is also this brainwave communication function that makes the Soul-Mimicking Bracelet an essential tool for the people of the empire, and the penetration rate has reached more than 95%. Even the elderly accept this trendy product.
Based on such technology, Frankenstein has the foundation to realize the bold vision of the new generation of magic crystal machinery: with the help of the Soul-Mimicking Bracelet, they can simplify many mechanical control structures, and the controllers themselves act as the control end of the machinery.
This cannot be achieved on Earth, because no one can say that they can control the flow rate of electricity or move the piston of an internal combustion engine without using a switch.
This is Magneto.
And the essence of magic crystal energy is to output magic. People in the Eternal Night World originally have the potential to control magic.
It's just that many people's magical talent is very low, or they have not received professional training, and this potential cannot be displayed.
It's like everyone has a throat, but not everyone can sing or hit high notes; some things fall into the category of talent.
After the Secret Art Society's trial production, the new generation of magic crystal machinery has removed the control center, reducing costs by more than half, and achieves more precise sensing and control through the human body, significantly increasing both the output ceiling and stability.
These magic crystal machines include, but are not limited to, agricultural tools, home appliances, vehicles, combat equipment, and so on.
As long as it is based on magic crystal energy and belongs to the category of alchemical creations with their own energy source, it can be controlled through human body simulation.
Or perhaps it can be said that alchemical creations made using this approach represent the world's original design philosophy.
Because the earliest alchemical creations were originally made by mages for their own convenience and would certainly require magical talent for control.
It was only later that Roger brought the Earth's way of thinking, manufacturing the first generation of magic crystal machinery that integrated a control center within the equipment, emphasizing ease of use upon acquisition.
