After three hours of traveling, Mo Yu finally met the trader Ye Kongyun mentioned.
Its body is not made of flesh and blood, but is made up of countless luminous crystals. Looking through the body of this trader, you can see a fiery red heart beating in its chest, and its blood vessels are clearly visible.
At this time, Ye Kongyun, who was standing next to Mo Yu, said:
"It is the trader I mentioned. You can call it Tulong. They have been traders in the trading market for generations. They are considered one of the most well-known traders in the Western Trading District. You can ask it for any requests you have.
carry."
When Mo Yu heard this, he immediately shook his head:
"I have never studied field studies, so you should help me translate."
"No, the race of Tulong merchants is quite special. They use consciousness communication and do not need any text or language translation. As long as you come into contact with his body, any idea you have can be understood instantly by the other party."
Mo Yu suddenly nodded after hearing this.
At this moment, he took a step forward and stood in front of the Tulong merchant.
The Tulong merchant raised his head at this moment, then raised his right arm and stretched out to Mo Yu.
Mo Yu saw this and did not dodge. He immediately reached out and touched the Tulong merchant's arm.
"Hello, guest, may I help you with anything?"
A childish voice sounded in his mind.
While feeling surprised, Mo Yu immediately said:
"I need a metal material that can absorb energy. Do you have a channel to purchase this material?"
"Energy absorbers? You mean materials that neutralize damage in the form of energy?"
"No, I need a material that can convert kinetic energy and elemental damage into energy storage."
Facing Mo Yu's inquiry, Tulong merchant was silent for a long time and then said:
"I roughly understand what you mean. What you need is not only to offset external damage, but also materials that can convert external damage into energy. I have several options for this type of material. I will take you to see someone first.
It will be up to you to choose and buy the seller of this material."
"Thank you."
When the conversation ended, the Tulong merchant withdrew his hand.
Next, Mo Yu and Ye Kongyun followed the Tulong merchant towards the east area of the trading market.
A few hours later, they met their first seller.
In the hands of this seller, Mo Yu saw a spiritual ore that was a blend of red, blue, and black. According to the seller's description, this ore could absorb specific elemental power.
But after learning more about the function of this ore, Mo Yu suddenly gave up the idea of buying it.
Because this ore can only absorb the power of fire, water, and dead energy, the mechanical nanoworms built with this spiritual ore will have great limitations.
For example, when encountering a thunder element attack, it will not be able to absorb any energy.
He wanted to create a mechanical nanobug that was as close to the characteristics of the psychic nanobug as possible, but the characteristics of the three-color spiritual stone were still far behind.
The deal was not concluded, so the Tulong merchant took Mo Yu to find a second buyer.
The second buyer has a kind of black accompanying spiritual mineral in his hand. This spiritual mineral is like a living creature that keeps changing its form in the buyer's hand.
According to the buyer's description, this spiritual mineral is extremely malleable and has the ability to absorb and convert most of the energy except mental strikes.
This material is very close to Mo Yu's needs.
But when he learned that the energy-absorbing effect of this spiritual mine was very weak, equivalent to nothing, Mo Yu chose to give up again.
Energy absorption is the charging method of mechanical nanobugs.
If the energy-absorbing metal cannot provide effective charging, each activation of the mechanical nanobug will become very troublesome.
But these two understandings made Mo Yu full of confidence that he could find suitable materials to build mechanical nanoworms in the future. This trading market has too many possibilities in his eyes.
The third seller, the fourth seller... For a few days, Mo Yu followed the traders around the trading market.
This trading market is so huge that after walking for several days, I never saw the end.
On this day, Mo Yu met the eighteenth seller under the leadership of the trader.
The seller is a humanoid being. The difference is that they are very short, like human children, but their faces look very old.
It seemed to be a professional spiritual mineral seller, and the stall in front of him was filled with samples of various spiritual minerals.
The intensity of the spiritual energy fluctuations emanating from several of the spiritual mines made Mo Yu feel astonished.
After the earth dragon merchant communicated with the dwarf seller, the dwarf seller took out a palm-sized piece of spiritual mineral from the pitch black metal box behind him.
The appearance of this spiritual mine is very extraordinary. It is translucent and has starlight swirling inside.
Through Mo Yu, the translator of the Tulong merchant, he learned that this metal is called meteorite, which is one of the most valuable spiritual ores in the territory controlled by the race of the dwarves. It meets his requirements and has the effect of absorbing energy and converting energy.
The spirit ore is extremely malleable and can be engraved with formations inside and outside to add required functions.
It can be said that the meteor stone completely satisfied Mo Yu's need for energy-absorbing ores.
But there was no equipment to test the quality of the ore, so he obviously couldn't place an order based on the merchant's description.
If you pay a lot of money to buy this ore and find that it is not as described when you return, it will be difficult to return it.
Destiny City is essentially a dog gambling city.
The function of the trading market is to allow gamblers to exchange chips and then continue to participate in the gambling game.
So transactions here are not completely guaranteed.
But this problem is not difficult to solve. This is the meaning of the existence of traders.
After confirming that he wanted enough popular stones, Ye Yunkong took out his blood stone card and paid the Tulong merchant a consulting fee and an additional deposit.
Using the reputation of the Tulong merchant as a guarantee, Mo Yu obtained a sample of the meteor stone.
This sample will be taken back to the materials facility in Star City for detailed testing.
If the indicator value reaches the standard and bulk purchases are made, the Tulong merchant will continue to draw an additional 3% transaction fee from subsequent transactions.
But this transaction fee is not collected from dwarf sellers, but from buyers.
The operation mode of the trading merchant is very simple. Buyers will be recruited when buyers ask for help, and sellers will be recruited when sellers come to their door.
After the deal was concluded, Mo Yu followed Ye Kongyun back to Star City.
On the same day, he came to the materials department of the Energy Research Institute, negotiated with the director of the materials department, and then tested the meteorite samples.
The detection process is very cumbersome.
First, scan the structure of the spiritual mineral, and then test the spiritual material content in the spiritual mineral.
Later, it will be taken out of the instrument for strength and other tests.
After the test results are released, the meteorite will also be recorded in the database and become one of the new fields of knowledge.
Ten days later.
When Mo Yu came to the Energy and Materials Department again, he got the material testing form that he had been thinking about.
Looking at the detailed data on the test form, Mo Yu's expectations were answered.
Especially the energy absorption efficiency data above.
The energy absorption efficiency of the fire element is 13%, the energy absorption efficiency of the water element is 15%, the energy absorption efficiency of the blood element is 17%, the energy absorption efficiency of the thunder element is 25%... and the mental damage tolerance efficiency is 4%.
Except for the low absorption efficiency of mental damage, the absorption efficiency of other elements is very high.
If mechanical nanobugs could be made from a composite material fused with meteorite and magic-forbidden metal, it would be able to absorb energy and have a certain degree of magic immunity, making it a war artifact.
The meteorite allowed Mo Yu to see further possibilities for the success of mechanical nanoworms.
Returning to the Mechanical Transformation Laboratory, Mo Yu immediately contacted the Messenger of Destiny who was still waiting in Star City, and decided to purchase meteor stones in large quantities to prepare for the next step of mechanized transformation.
That night, Mo Yu followed Ye Kongyun to the trading market on the second floor of Destiny City again.
After finding the earth dragon merchant, they came to the dwarf merchant again.
After stating the purchase quantity, the dwarf merchant began to quote.
The unit of calculation for the dwarves is 200,000 bloodstones per burst.
This sudden change, the measurement unit for human beings is almost 1388 grams, which means that only 200,000 blood stones can buy 1.388 kilograms.
Meteorite is very dense, 1.388 kilograms is about the size of a thumbnail.
This price really made Mo Yu speechless, and even the well-informed Ye Kongyun couldn't help but shake his head.
To build mechanical nanoworms, Mo Yu thought that 300 kilograms of meteor stones would be needed, which means that 43.227 million blood stones would be needed.
This price is really scary.
Only 300 kilograms have reached the price of 43.22 million blood stones. If the demand increases during the experiment, it will be a huge expense for the entire Star City.
As one of the messengers from Star City to Destiny City, Ye Kongyun only carries a crystal card with a balance of 2 million blood stones.
With no other choice, Mo Yu could only choose to return to Star City temporarily and seek help from the city administrator.
In response to his request, the city administrator replied:
More than 40 million blood stones can be satisfied with Star City's current resources, but this already accounts for nearly half of the existing reserves. If these resources are invested in the mechanization transformation project, it will inevitably affect Star City's subsequent development. But chess
My uncle once told me that this inadvertent exploration may bear fruitful fruits for the future of my human race. Just as the development of the cultivation system also encountered many objections, I believe you can do it, and I hope you will be positive about yourself.
Be full of confidence... I will find a way to help you approve it at the Star City Supreme Council, and then it's up to you.
Wrapping up day five of conversations with the city administrator.
Mo Yu once again followed Ye Kongyun to the trading market of Destiny City.
Through Ye Kongyun's narration, Mo Yu learned that just yesterday, the Supreme Council passed the approval, and Zhang Daowen, the current top manager of Star City, guaranteed this research and development project.
After the approval was passed, they opened the city resource warehouse managed by the Star City Military Department and moved the required resources to Destiny City and exchanged them for blood stones. Now they have been saved on his blood stone card, with a total of 45 million blood stones.
This moved Mo Yu, who rarely had mood swings.
Just as Feng Qi said, every race is dependent on the tribe, and individuals can only develop better with the help of the tribe.
Without the strong support of the Star City Supreme Council, his mechanization transformation project would have been impossible to advance.
Resources, manpower, knowledge... everything is paid by the clan behind the scenes.
Behind every resource is the blood and sacrifice of frontline soldiers.
This is a positive cycle, and it is precisely with the advancement of this positive cycle that the development of ethnic groups can move forward steadily.
It's like spiritual warfare in Feng Qi's eyes.
It is precisely because they realized that the ethnic group is their foundation that the psionic tribe opened up a new path and laid a solid foundation for standing at the top of the world in the future.
Mo Yu also felt a strong sense of belonging and dependence at this time.
This feeling of having someone behind you is wonderful. Even the cold metal body cannot isolate the warmth rising from the depths of your soul.
After returning to Star City with the meteor stone, Mo Yu didn't stop for a moment and immediately decided to start building a new mechanical nanobug.
His mechanized body makes him tireless and can operate continuously 24 hours a day.
His body only needs to recharge once a month.
This allows Mo Yu to have extremely high work efficiency, does not require spiritual materials and other precious spiritual materials to recuperate his body, and consumes very little resources.
The only disadvantage is that the mechanized body is always troubled by data, and it is difficult to have sudden inspiration.
But the mechanization transformation department is a team.
After so many years of development, he already has a large number of talented colleagues in this field.
Time passes in boring research and development.
Daybreak 117 years.
Energy Research Institute.
With the help of the Silver Moon Clan's engineering technology, Mo Yu completed the construction of the first mechanical nanobug.
In the laboratory at this time.
Mo Yu could clearly see the appearance of the mechanical nanoworm through the instruments provided by the Silver Moon Clan.
The shape of the nanobug is not that of a bug, but a small black square, and purple and blue lines can be seen flickering on and off the body surface.
At this time, an old man from the Silver Moon tribe with silver-white hair sat in front of the instrument.
Mo Yu was really surprised when he first learned that the old man who assisted him in developing mechanical nanobugs was a domain creature.
But after getting along with each other for this period of time, he has already understood why the human race wants to cooperate with the Silver Moon Clan. The Silver Moon Clan's engineering technology is really far ahead of the human race.
Now the old man stopped pretending in front of him and revealed his true appearance.
Through the enlarged picture on the screen, Mo Yu could clearly see that the old man of the Silver Moon tribe was carving formation patterns on the back of the mechanical nanoworm.
This formation is called the Spirit Photographing Formation, and it is not a complicated formation.
Its function is to independently absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to replenish energy.
Energy absorption is only one of the ways for mechanical nanobugs to absorb energy. When there is no battle, the energy to maintain the operation of mechanical nanobugs relies on the spirit capturing array to obtain it.
However, it is difficult to carve a miniature version of the spirit-capturing array on the body of a mechanical nanobug, which is difficult to achieve with the current human technology, including the photolithography machine technology left before the disaster.
This can only be done by seeking help from the Silver Moon Clan.
Many of the Silver Moon clan's war puppets have machines that reach the nanoscale, so the Silver Moon clan is very good at this technology.
After the engraving of the spirit capturing array is completed this time, the relevant operations will be recorded with subsequent instruments, and the process of copying and engraving can be carried out in batches in the future.
But the hardest part is often the first step.
The old man has been carving it for a month, and has only completed most of the formation patterns, and there are still some lines that are not completed.
But Mo Yu learned from the old man's feedback that it would take almost three days to complete the inscription of the formation.
Next, what he has to face will be the most difficult step in the mechanization transformation.
Consciousness is divided and reduced to zero.
At that time, each mechanical nanobug will be an individual, and after fusion, it can become a whole.
Even if any part is missing, the mechanical nanobug can continue to function, and there are no longer any shortcomings that can be targeted.
Mo Yu planned to start practicing the "Spiritual Immortality" provided by Feng Qi after he finished building the first mechanical nanoworm.
When the intensity of consciousness reaches a certain level, then divide your consciousness.
