Chapter 423
The importance of the ancient scientific research center set up in the valley near Junfu City has been raised to a new level under the instructions of the lord of the country in the past few days——

Not only were heavy troops directly transferred to guard, but also a new round of large-scale expansion and reconstruction projects was launched.

It's just that it's not worthwhile to use a large number of young and strong civilians. They are more suitable for jobs with more flexibility. As for those repetitive and tedious manual jobs that don't require much subjective initiative, it is better to leave them to the clay demons as much as possible. like better.

So soon, those golems with humanoid bodies made of clay started to work back and forth like a colony of ants, day and night.

After all, although these constructed creatures have no intelligence, can't make a sound, and move slowly.But its strength and tirelessness are enough to cover up all its shortcomings.

The manufacturing process of this type of constructed creature originally came from the technology of the DND world. After the complete version of the clay golem is successfully manufactured, it will have various constructed creature characteristics, damage reduction, dark vision, acceleration ability, magic immunity, low light Field of view... blah blah blah, these powerful features.

Clay golems are formidable fighters when it comes to combat, due to their immunity to magic and haste, combined with their own strength values ​​far beyond mortals.

It's just that the same cost is also very expensive. In that world, a clay golem must be made from a single piece of clay at least a thousand pounds, and treated with rare oils and powders worth [-] gold coins.

Moreover, the level of the spellcaster must reach level eleven, possess the specialty of constructing creatures, and require the use of spells such as activating objects, psychic spells, and resurrection spells to successfully create a clay golem.

However, the reincarnation uses an improved and simplified production line——

After all, this world is not a magical scene in their view. There are many characteristics that clay golems don't need. As long as the most basic functions and strength are retained, it is enough, and the rest can be made up with quantity.

Or rather, they value the clay golem's labor ability more than the clay golem's combat capability.

It is precisely because of this that people in this era can easily copy and master the production technology of golem puppets. I heard that several golem factories have been established in Junfu City, and they have begun to be put into production one after another. Not too high.

It is said that they have begun to study the manufacturing process of stone golems. After all, although the technology is more difficult, it is also more useful. The most important thing is that the supply of raw materials is much easier.

Because anyway, things like hard rock are much easier to find than clay mines, right?

It's just that the clay golem is only responsible for transporting materials and so on, and can't do really delicate and flexible things. Moreover, the changes in the valley can be called uncanny workmanship, which is a miracle that is not understandable by human beings at all.

Quietly, the ground in the valley was trimmed to be extremely flat, and almost without exception, a flat and seamless concrete floor was laid. It was spacious, flat and huge, except for some special planting places. Such solid ground.

Moreover, a large area of ​​woodland and the previous sheds and wooden houses were destroyed, and replaced by a huge research base that is tidy, stylish and full of modern atmosphere.

I didn't see the explosion of rocks from the mountain, but the surrounding mountains have been hollowed out without knowing it, and a huge space has been dug out, and even this is not enough. Mu Xiuxiu is continuing to spare no effort to build underground base.

After all, for him who can directly use runes to change the material form in a huge range, it is the easiest thing to do, and strictly speaking, such a thing does not really change the material structure, but directly uses various The mountain rock and wood are reorganized into building materials.

That is, it does not involve changes in the atomic structure layer, and there is no need to give them any special attributes. For the rune magic he has mastered, it is naturally not even a warm-up at all.

Therefore, it is better to do it in one step, and the next thing he needs to do is to have complete facilities, sufficient energy, and an experimental site with a sterile environment.

As a matter of course, the previous temporary "cottage" with wooden fences and deep trenches as barriers was directly replaced.

……

……

"...The sun ladder is the name of this plant. It is not an original species of this world, but a specialty of another similar world. The earliest discovery of its origin was the remains of the Dubaiya tribe in West Africa..."

In the brand-new botanical garden, while collecting samples of the sun ladder, Mu Xiu explained to the master behind him that this has been protected and he will take over the work in this area.

Because after discovering the Sun Stairway, Mu Xiu felt that he had a sudden inspiration, and had an immature... no, it was quite a brilliant idea.

"The Dubaiya tribe is a local indigenous tribe scattered in West Africa. The ancient West African region was ruled by the Dubaiya Empire. The king of the empire has unlimited authority and is regarded by his people as the god "closest to the sun god" Only.Moreover, there is a myth circulating in the Dubai tribe that their king has a lifespan of hundreds of years, and is brave and invulnerable. "

The lord of the country stared at the green plants that were spreading wantonly in the flower garden inside the glass cover. Hearing such words, his eyes immediately became bright, and she grasped the key very keenly——

"There is such a strange legend? If you say it on purpose, it should be somewhat credible, so is it related to these plants?"

It's not that Imagawa Yoshimoto has a girlish heart, but it's definitely not in the flowers and plants. She is only interested in Cuju and Mu...cough, but she will definitely not hurt the spring and autumn with Hua Yinyue.

What's more, apart from the nice and mysterious name, the plant of the Sun Stairway has no ornamental value at all. The flowers don't look like flowers, and the leaves don't look like leaves. In her opinion, there is no beauty, and naturally it is even more unattractive.

"Yes, because the inheritance of the throne of the Dubai Empire does not rely on blood ties, they maintain the traditional selection method of primitive tribes. The elected leader must pass the test of the sun god to become a king. This test is the "sun ladder" ceremony . "

Mu Xiu answered casually while collecting the samples he needed.

"Only a few people who can be recognized by the gods can survive after eating flowers. If you want to become a king, eating flowers is an inevitable test. What flowers will bring to the new king will also be a long life and powerful power. Thousands of years. For hundreds of years, the Dubai Empire has relied on this method to choose its leader and regard it as a person approved by the gods..."

Then he seemed to think of something, turned around and said solemnly: "But don't believe such nonsense, this thing contains a kind of virus substance, which can indeed improve the ability of the human body and prolong the life span of human beings, but the side effects Very terrible..."

"Miss Ben is not so reckless, and do you think this kind of thing can really have any effect on Miss Ben?" The Lord Hei Changzhi interrupted Mu Xiu's words quite calmly, and there was a faint smugness in his voice. Confidence and pride.

Mu Xiu was slightly taken aback, then shook his head and laughed dumbly: "That's right, this thing really doesn't have any effect on you."

In fact, among the substances produced by the sun stair flower, there is indeed a virus-like genetic material component, which is the so-called ancestor virus, but the harm itself is really not great.

At least it is not as contagious as Resident Evil, otherwise, the inheritance ceremony of Dubaiya would not have lasted until the 19th century.

What are really notorious are the series of variants researched on the basis of the ancestor virus, such as T virus and G virus.

"Then why do you value this kind of thing so much?" The king asked unceremoniously if he didn't understand. In her opinion, this kind of thing is not very useful.

But this is also true. If this thing can only improve part of the physical fitness and prolong life, then under the premise that there is a high probability of causing the death of the user, the value is indeed greatly weakened.

"It does not have much effect by itself, but as one of the foundations of the evolutionary path, we can't expect it to naturally have various characteristics that meet our requirements!"

Of course, Mu Xiu would not hide anything from the lord, so he explained straight to the point.

"Among the technical materials you seized, two are related. One is the large-scale planting technology of the solar ladder mutant plants, and the other is the purification and refining of the weakened version of the T virus strengthening solution..."

"What's that for?" the king wondered, but she didn't seem to be completely unfamiliar with the concept of "virus".

"Well, specifically, it is the technology that can mass-produce a certain special drug, which can safely and reliably improve the physical fitness of the user, greatly enhance their reaction and senses, and greatly strengthen the immune system, strength and endurance. .”

Mu Xiu thought for a while and gave such an answer.

"Although the strengthening process caused by drugs will be more painful, at least there is no risk of life. It can be regarded as an improved technology that has been optimized a lot."

Yoshimoto Imagawa's eyes lit up immediately: "Are you going to realize this technology?"

"Uh, if you wish, you can. I don't have any problems." Although the young man looked a little weird, he didn't shirk, "But the problem of large-scale planting must be solved first. You'd better find A place to build these raw materials..."

"There is no problem with this, but it seems that you are not for that kind of medicine?" The king nodded calmly.

"Yes, I have other ideas."

Mu Xiu blinked, and then seemed to talk about another topic intentionally or unintentionally: "Speaking of which, Yoshimoto, do you know which world the power called "Baqi" I gave you came from? of it? "

"Wait for me! Why can you call your lord's name so, so..."

Imagawa Yoshimoto turned his face away almost angrily, and said through gritted teeth.

It’s just that Mu Xiu pretended not to hear it, or that no matter what the Lord’s answer, he would not change what he was going to say next——

"It comes from a world of the "Era of Great Pirates". In order to find the great secret treasure "ONE-PIECE" left by the legendary One Piece King Roger, countless pirates raised their flags and fought with each other on the sea. "

"..."

"..."

"So?" He sighed helplessly, and the king could only ask this.

"The domineering power system comes from that world. The concept definition is the potential power of all human beings. It is no different from ordinary feelings such as voice, momentum, and deterrence. But most people are not aware of this power. , or even if you want to play it, you can't get it all your life..."

Mu Xiuruo said pointedly.

"However, in that world, there is another form of power, which is the devil fruit. No matter the aptitude, anyone who eats it can get some superpowers. It is called the secret treasure of the sea. It is said that It is the incarnation of the so-called sea demon."

The lord of the country frowned slightly, then seemed to understand something, and looked at the large number of protected green plants in front of him.

"—Are you going to use these things to transform the world's version of the "Devil Fruit"? "
