Su Lun was tinkering with a new battle puppet. He tried to use steel wires to move it, but whether it was slashing or dodging, it was too clumsy compared to the wooden puppet.
This puppet that is almost the same height is not a puppet made of wood, but a mechanical puppet pieced together from disassembled parts of the [PX-911 Mechanical Limb].
Su Lun also knew that it was not that the mechanical limbs were not sensitive enough, but that his opening method was wrong.
During this period of research, he has figured out many functions of this mechanical limb.
The outer armor of the limbs is made of a special alloy that cannot be dented even by double overlapping alchemical bullets. There are also various weapons hidden in the limbs, including knives, guns, energy cannons, telescopic metal ropes, and injectors...
Once taken apart, it is simply a collection of various top-level technological weapons.
There is also a mechanical heart that pumps blood and a mechanical lung that supplies oxygen...
And, these are not the most amazing things.
During this period of experimentation, Su Lun discovered that the most incomprehensible technology on these mechanical limbs was the highly sensitive mechanical contacts that could be triggered by bioelectricity.
This is a very cutting-edge laboratory-level technology, so advanced that it far surpasses steampunk. Su Lun even thought that the world's technology tree had reached the level of cyber "neuromechanics".
The presence of these highly sensitive touch elements means that theoretically, by connecting to human nerves, one can directly control the movements of mechanical limbs!
Su Lun also thought that this limb might be another top-secret project that Danny said was a collaboration between the Black Tower Medical Research Department and the Machinery Department - the Super Mechanical Warrior Project.
Otherwise, it would not be such a coincidence that I found it on a transport truck sent to the laboratory.
After Su Lun discovered this, he also restored the complete structure of this mechanical limb in his mind. Those missing parts may also be a complete human nervous system, or other driving tissues of some kind of alchemy equipment.
There is no intelligent control system in this world, so just install a human brain and create a cyborg human.
As long as they are covered with a layer of bionic skin, they will look no different from humans!
This is more thorough than the "new school" alchemists in the outer city. They are still at the level of transforming mechanical limbs, while the top laboratories in the inner city have already developed warriors with almost all mechanical limbs.
Su Lun guessed that the woman with a bounty on her head was probably such a mechanical warrior.
.......
However, mechanical limbs involve too many laboratory-level cutting-edge technologies, and it is simply not possible for one person to study them thoroughly.
Su Lun didn't plan to sell this thing, nor did he plan to cut off his own head and reconnect it.
Therefore, all he can do is dismantle the parts.
He removed the indestructible dagger from the mechanical limb arm and put it on his puppet. He also removed the blade-like spring blade from the mechanical leg and gave it to another one. Then the boiler with those high-precision parts was no longer needed.
He removed the alloy outer panel and made a bulletproof puppet. As for those mechanical internal organs, they gave him a lot of inspiration for "Iron Man III"...
Su Lun was tinkering with the mechanical puppet and was very busy.
But suddenly, his ears moved slightly, and an unusual sound came into his ears.
Su Lun stopped what he was doing and suddenly turned his head to stare.
He was even more certain that there was a sudden sound of breathing on the dissecting table in the corner of the basement, which was separated by a transparent curtain!
"Huh..."
Hearing the faint movement, instead of being surprised, he was overjoyed: "It's done!"
Su Lun ignored the puppet in his hand and walked over quickly.
At this time, his eyes lit up as he looked at the corpse with a slightly heaving chest on the autopsy table.
.......
Half a month ago, Su Lun went to the black market to find Mr. Hei and translated those profound cipher texts, and then successfully deciphered the "distortion suppressing potion" formula developed by the crazy warlock who refined living corpses a thousand years ago.
Fortunately, Danny's original job at "Research Institute No. 7" was to study distortion suppression. Although the ancient formula was very complicated and there were some incomprehensible links, because many theoretical links were interlinked, he combined the knowledge he had mastered.
After some tinkering, the first batch of "distortion inhibitors" were successfully produced yesterday!
There was no shortage of corpses in the outer city, so Su Lun immediately found a fresh corpse to try. After injecting the [Second Generation
It was much worse than the original solution. It was already the third injection. If it still had no effect, he might plan to inject the fourth one.
Unexpectedly, the corpse suddenly appeared to be breathing!
It looks the same as a sleeping living person, but according to the records in the diary, it is just a soulless shell. Even the characteristics of a living person are not the corpse itself, but are completely transformed by the active substances in the "X serum"
, allowing the body tissue to be forcibly resurrected. In a sense, this corpse is no longer a human corpse.
Just a moment after breathing, Su Lun looked at the dark red marks that gradually appeared on the corpse, and the overall skin color gradually turned blue. He secretly said: "The skin turned blue, the markings appeared, and it really started to become distorted...
"
The diary recorded the process of this distortion in detail, and Su Lun did not have any surprises at all.
He didn't waste any time, took out a distortion-inhibiting injection and injected it into the corpse.
After a while, the spread of the distorted markings began to slow down.
Su Lun was not idle either. He took out the rune pen and began to draw basic runes on the breathing corpse.
[Corpse Revitalizing Rune], [Level I Dark Attribute Demonic Gathering Rune], [Wind Element Cycle Condensing Rune], [Level I Life Rune]...
The materials have been prepared long ago, and the runes have been practiced very well in the past few days.
There is no need for him to study it himself, he can just follow the drawing order recorded in the diary and draw it layer by layer.
These are some low-level runes and are not difficult to draw.
As described in the diary, Chekov used this set of low-level runes to create an active corpse that he felt was "useless".
Su Lun knew that he would definitely not be able to create the terrifying blue-skinned monsters in the cursed space with these low-level runes, and he had no intention of doing so.
What he wants is not the ultimate research of "resurrecting corpses", but just a "living corpse" that can maintain normal life characteristics!
.......
Three hours later.
Su Li has painted the corpse with various alternating runes of yellow, black, white and red.
The runes on the entire corpse combine the four basic elements of "earth, wind, water, and fire", and then connect them in cycles to create endless life.
"The ancient warlock who created this set of runes is really talented..."
Su Lun put down the talisman pen, looked at his work, and sighed.
He can master these low-level runes proficiently, but he cannot understand the principles. He only needs to consume a small amount of materials to make these runes run continuously, which involves extremely high level of rune attainments.
It is also very convenient to repaint runes in the future.
After drawing the runes, Su Lun breathed a sigh of relief.
Having done what was necessary, he began to examine the deformed state of the corpse.
"The X serum changed the tissue structure of the corpse, and the muscle strength was significantly enhanced. However, while the distortion-inhibiting drug took effect, it also inhibited some of the effects of the serum..."
Su Lun was already very satisfied with the result.
There are various signs that the living corpse he created for the first time is almost successful!
He didn't want to create some "hated warrior". It didn't matter how strong the corpse was, as long as it could bear the backlash of the black scythe for him.
After a while, the body's skin turned completely blue.
"It's done!"
Su Lun felt happy.
This also means that the serum-modified corpse has been stabilized. Although the subsequent zombies will still have some enhancements, this can be regarded as a successful "rune zombie".
...
Creating living corpses is only the first step. The important thing is that Su Lun plans to use it to verify his conjecture.
He pulled the body with a string and stood it up.
The living corpse was like a sleepwalker, standing there with its eyes closed and a dull expression. It seemed to be alive but not alive, and it looked a little creepy in this dark underground room.
"The muscles are strong enough to support the body, and the joints are normal. We fully meet the conditions..."
Su Lun checked the status of the living corpse.
He had previously determined that to use that black sickle, at least two necessary conditions must be met: it has life characteristics, and it has dark spiritual power poured into it!
The traceability of the curse's backlash is most likely directly related to these two conditions.
"Living Corpse" can satisfy just that!
After being transformed by the X serum, the dark spiritual power in the body surged, even much higher than that of ordinary professionals, with a slight overflow.
This is just right, and saves Su Lun from finding another way to activate the corpse to release dark spiritual power.
Su Lun fixed the black sickle in the hands of the living corpse.
At this moment, the black fire overflowing from the sickle seemed to be stimulated by the dark spiritual power, and it immediately started to boil.
Seeing this, Su Lun felt vaguely that his guess was correct.
Taking a deep breath, he tried to use the steel wire to pull the corpse's arm and scratch it lightly. He seemed to hear a cutting sound, and not far from the tip of the sickle, a small space crack appeared strangely.
"Sure enough, there is a space crack!"
Seeing this, Su Lun's face overflowed with anticipation.
This time, he did not use any dark spiritual power to infuse his body, but he succeeded.
He was almost certain that his guess was correct!
After making this cut, he didn't move any further.
I put down the puppet and began the long process of waiting for the backlash.
.......
after an hour.
Su Lun didn't feel anything strange about himself, but at this moment, he looked at the right arm of the living corpse in front of him, and suddenly a bloody mouth appeared without any warning.
"It's done!"
Su Lun knew that this was a sign of the curse of the sickle backlashing.
"My guess is indeed correct. As long as the two conditions of life form and dark spiritual power are met, the space crack can be cut!"
At this time, Su Lun's face was full of energy, as if he saw a glimmer of light shining through the foggy future.
Wherever the sickle passes, it will be cut in two!
[Hypnos's Black Scythe of Night], which could only be used to gamble with the enemy in the past, has now become a controllable killing weapon.
The curse's backlash will not be applied to the main body, which means that he can control the living zombies to slash without any scruples.
There was also a little surprise, because the transformation of the "X serum" gave the living corpse super self-healing ability. After the wound appeared, it was slowly recovering.
This means that as long as this living corpse is not killed once, it can be recycled!
When people use a sickle, they worry about the impact of maiming it on combat effectiveness, but the same is not true for living corpses.
What Su Lun wants is a puppet. As long as the living corpse can cut through space cracks, it doesn't matter to him even if it has missing arms and legs.
He estimated that it could probably slash five or six times in a row before the corpse died suddenly!
A lord-level spider queen can be killed with one sword. What is the concept of five or six swords?
This means that Su Lun now has the ability to kill high-level professionals!
However, Su Lun was not too excited either. This was the result that he had expected.
Next, he will face more problems.
The experiment was successful, but there are still many problems before it reaches the level of actual combat.
He looked at the living corpse on the autopsy table, dragging his chin and thinking: "The living corpse is not flexible enough to control now. If it really wants to fight, there is still a lot that needs to be improved... The muscle strength of the corpse is enough for it to stand and support its body, but it cannot walk."
What if we install a mechanical skeleton on it and add a steam-powered boiler? Well... the current technology is not mature and it is even more inconvenient."
As he thought about it, his thoughts began to wander.
"The phenomenon of the overflow of the dark spiritual power of living corpses also needs to be controlled, so that the intensity of cutting the cracks in space can be controlled..."
"The slashing amplitude and the infused dark spiritual power determine the size of the space crack, but precise distance control requires more attempts to get accurate data..."
Now that there are living corpses, there is no need for Su Lun to take risks in such dangerous attempts.
There are still ninety-seven [Second Generation X Serum], enough for him to create more living corpses and get the precise data he wants.
But looking at the two-meter-long black scythe, Su Lun muttered in his heart: "Moreover, the biggest problem is that neither the living corpse nor the scythe can be put into the storage ring, so it is difficult to carry it with you."
"Huh... Didn't Mr. Hei say before that the puppet master's second-level career advancement direction can choose 'space ability'. Certain high-quality space curse materials can give people the ability to create real folding spaces. I'll get one by then.
A foldable space that can hold living corpses and scythes would be perfect. However, it seems that those cursed objects are hard to find..."
