The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 316 - 195: Preliminary Research Results of the Altar (6k)_3
Chapter 316: Chapter 195: Preliminary Research Results of the Altar (6k)_3
But because it is still in the design and production stage, there is no finished product.
When Bai Yi finished reading, the first thing she thought of was her recently completed research, or to be more precise, the insect swarm she was preparing to study.
What she originally planned was merely to allow the insect swarm to use the most basic solid ammunition, but now it occurs to her, wouldn’t it be more suitable to use energy ammunition?
No, these two options don’t conflict, why should she choose?
Since the insect swarm can freely create their weapons, they could easily switch the firearm’s structure as needed to adapt to either magic ammunition or solid ammunition!
"Although nurturing the insect swarm will take some time, now we should direct them to design a...
No, it’s a set of firearms suitable for the insect swarm...
It would be best to design a set covering various types, after all, the insect swarm primarily wages external war, especially in instance-battle-like situations, acting as the combat vanguard.
They might not have a logistics environment like a witch, so it’s best if they can be largely self-sufficient, with weapons that can adapt to various environments being ideal..."
After throwing this requirement onto the network, Bai Yi continued to look at Bai Fa and their other research.
Although these firearms are important, most days have been spent on testing, and they haven’t actually taken up much of Bai Fa’s research time.
Bai Fa and their team have mostly spent their time on technology fusion.
Yet what surprised Bai Yi somewhat was that in the end, it was materials science and some more theoretically inclined knowledge from modern technology that played the most substantial role.
Most of the practical machinery was essentially completely replaced by magic.
After all, while most technology looks advanced, it actually involves taking convoluted paths to achieve certain functions.
"Standing on the shoulders of giants" is not just a saying.
Much technology, if not for the "shoulders of giants", might not even be usable.
Under each piece of advanced technology, it might be that giants stack on giants, detouring through dozens of turns only to find it returning to heating water.
Yet the same thing, on the magic side, might only require a trick-level spell to achieve.
On the contrary, the theoretical knowledge contained within those machines had quite an influence on magic.
Reducing the magic power consumption of many spells significantly while greatly multiplying their effects, breathing new life into many spells on the magic side that were slightly cumbersome.
In fact, several new spells were developed due to this research.
Among them were sonic-type building-specialized spells utilizing resonance principles and water series defensive spells targeted at thunder and lightning, etc...
However, these improvements have yet to provide actual feedback to the territory.
It still requires other witches under them to craft corresponding magic items based on this knowledge to truly manifest value.
Unlike these, the following two results were what truly delighted Bai Yi.
"Oh, results came out this quickly?
While there was some anticipation for Wade’s side, considering the timeline, it was about time to complete it. But unexpectedly, the altar research, which only took a few days, also yielded certain results...
This transformation is so complete that the original Brain Clan form is almost unrecognizable..."
Because accompanying Wade’s research was also her own avatar.
Hence, Bai Yi was somewhat aware of her research progress, though the detailed specifics were unclear.
To adapt to machinery, her avatar had been continuously cooperating with Wade in transforming the Brain Clan into a state suitable for controlling machinery.
But with each successive transformation, it gradually lost the original Brain Clan appearance.
From originally appearing as just a mass of brain matter with long tendril-like appendages below, it has now transformed into a figure resembling a bald giant squid.
The brain is enveloped by a biological structure utilizing the Water-shielding Cover principle, which can remain in a soft state usually but can instantly harden when needed to resist attacks.
The tendrils below have also become much stronger to adapt to mechanical operations, with small tentacle segments at the ends for easy linkage with machinery and fine operations.
No longer slim and slender, but incorporating constitution-related genes, it became a "muscle" brain tentacle monster capable of dismantling large machinery on the spot.
In terms of size, it is no longer as massive but can adjust its body size according to its subjective intention.
However, this requires a certain amount of time, unlike a movie Bai Yi had previously watched where they could instantly inflate and deflate like a balloon.
Such significant changes have virtually made them a standalone species, not just a variant of the Brain Clan. free𝑤ebnovel.com
After all, the Brain Clan doesn’t possess the capability to instantly assume the role of a standard 5th-tier melee soldier even when thrown onto a battlefield.
Now, they are only one metallic phrase away from being truly practical.
Unlike the insect swarm, which prioritizes combat power with mechanical assistance, they focus more on the machinery itself.
Even without the metallic phrase, under Wade’s guidance, they have already started to gain hands-on experience with all the machinery within the territory.
Replaced all its control chips.
Or rather, treating the machinery as the "New Brain Clan’s" external equipment.
This made Bai Yi inevitably think of external armor, and further of Gundams...
What if...
She could enable this new species to utilize its abilities directly as a pilot...
Of course, not humanoid, since humanoid Gundams, aside from looking cool, have questionable combat effectiveness.
