Unlimited career change starting from mechanic.

Chapter 378: The power of the miniature mechanical clan has skyrocketed!
These miniature machines are so small that they are almost invisible to the naked eye, and their energy is extremely weak. Su Yu thought that they would not be able to achieve anything significant before their numbers reached a sufficient level.

But now it seems that once they are launched, they are still quite powerful.

The metal ingot that Su Yu took out was a high-grade material obtained from the Giant God Legion’s base, and it was very hard.

Su Yu took out these materials specifically to test these miniature machines.

Logically speaking, these guys, whose strongest is only one-star level, should not be able to do anything with such high-end materials.

But in a short period of time, they began to cut, recast, and replicate the metal ingot with incredibly high efficiency.

That's why the metal ingot is corroded. In fact, it's the miniature machines that are doing the work.

This surprised Su Yu a little. How did they do it?
Su Yu carefully observed the working process of these mechanical creatures, seeming to be thinking about something.

The structure of these miniature machines seems to be quite secretive. It is not just that the bodies have been reduced in size, but they have some powerful functions.

They can exert very strong destructive power within limited energy, especially against large objects.

Under normal circumstances, in order to quickly destroy those metal ingots, at least six-star level energy is required, preferably seven stars.

However, these miniature mechanical creatures used one-star-level energy to quickly destroy the metal ingot.

The secrets behind these are related to their body structure and are worth studying.

Su Yu concentrated his mind and carefully observed how these mechanical creatures destroyed the material.

Under Su Yu's powerful mental strength, the scene in front of him quickly magnified, and even the flow of energy was clearly visible.

After observing for a while, Su Yu discovered that these miniature machines could concentrate energy extremely.

These machines are already small enough, and when they mobilize energy, they are in a relatively concentrated state.

But on this basis, they can be concentrated thousands of times again, and every bit of energy can be refined to a truly microscopic level.

Such extremely concentrated energy, like fine needles, penetrates deeply into the metal ingot, destroying its crystal structure and disintegrating it.

"I see……"

Su Yu looked at it for a while and admired it in his heart.

The methods used by this group of mechanical people are truly ingenious. Although their energy is weakened, they rely on their strong control to concentrate the energy extremely and use a point to break the surface, thereby gaining powerful destructive power.

Although the area of ​​destruction was small, it was enough for them.

In fact, Su Yu can also do the same methods used by these mechanical people.

However, Su Yu is a powerful transcendent of the fourth level with great control. This group of miniature mechanical creatures has only one-star strength at most, so it is not easy for them to do such a thing.

When Su Yu was at one star, he was far from having such abilities.

While Su Yu was conducting research, the miniature mechanical creatures quickly used the metal ingots as materials to replicate themselves and create a large number of machines.

These machines are replicas of their bodies, but they have no self-awareness and are just tools that they can control.

After these replicas are created, they immediately follow the predetermined procedure and continue to use the metal ingots as raw materials to replicate themselves again.

Soon, the number of these miniature machines began to increase exponentially!
Ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times...

In a short period of time, their number has exploded by thousands of times! And it is still exploding!

The materials of those metal ingots were being consumed rapidly.

Where the metal ingot disappeared, there was a mass of black mist, which was formed by a large number of miniature machines gathered together.

"This is……"

When Su Yu saw this scene, his expression became solemn.

"Stop for a moment!"

"How did you get the technology to replicate yourself? Also, how did you acquire the ability to cut and smelt materials?"

Su Yu quickly stopped these miniature mechanical people and then questioned them.

These mechanical creatures were very skilled and efficient when they first created copies of themselves.

The details of the replica can also be quickly adjusted due to the different materials of different metal ingots.

The entire copying process takes no more than one minute.

Although their bodies are miniature, their structures are simple, and their strength is weak, making them much easier to copy, the speed of copying is indeed a bit astonishing.

It seems that they are very good at replicating themselves and have done this thousands of times.

And the energy concentration technology is also very advanced.

However, Su Yu had already captured all the mechanical clans in the materialized space, even the [King] was captured alive, but he had never seen any replicas of the mechanical clan.

Where do these guys get so much experience in copying?

In previous wars, they had never been seen using that kind of energy concentration technology.

Moreover, Su Yu had just used the mechanic's ability to invade the consciousness of these mechanical people, but did not find any relevant data.

It seems that the ability of these machines to replicate themselves and to concentrate energy does not rely on conscious control at all. It is purely instinctive, just like humans breathing. They do not need to learn it; they are born with it.

This is a little strange.

"I...we don't know either..."

Faced with Su Yu's questioning, these mechanical people looked at each other in confusion.

They themselves didn't even know how they had accomplished what they had just done.

In fact, under normal circumstances, if they want to copy themselves and manufacture, it will take time and computing power.

But as soon as they started copying, they entered a state of selflessness, letting everything take its course, and completed the work at a rapid speed.

Su Yu frowned slightly when he heard this.

Relying on his mechanic's ability, he was able to judge that these guys were not lying. They really didn't know how they did it. It was all based on instinct.

This is interesting.

"You guys go ahead."

After Su Yu pondered for a moment, he spoke.

At the same time, he released more materials and energy to supply these mechanical people.

This time, the materials released are greater in quantity and variety.

He wanted to see if these machines could still accomplish rapid replication when faced with more types of materials.

"Yes, Mr. Su Yu."

Upon hearing this, the mechanical clan did not dare to disobey and immediately started working again.

The black mist quickly wrapped up the materials Su Yuxin released and swallowed them up at a rapid speed.

At the rate at which they replicate once a minute, their number will double in one minute, and in ten minutes, their number will multiply a thousand times. In a hundred minutes, that's a million times!
Although they are just tiny dust particles that are almost invisible to the naked eye at the beginning, once they grow to a certain scale, their replication speed is simply terrifying.

The material that Su Yu released for the first time was only about one ton, and it took them more than two hours to completely devour it.

But this second time, Su Yu released a full thousand tons of materials, but it only took ten minutes to completely devour them.

And their size expanded again, becoming a black mass, suspended in the air.

"Mr. Su...Mr. Su Yu, is there something wrong with us..."

At this point, even the mechanical people themselves have discovered that something is wrong.

The speed at which they devour and replicate seems a little too terrifying.

In a short period of time, they expanded to this size.

At this rate of progress, if they are given time, wouldn't it not take long for them to devour the entire Mechanical City and transform it all into their replicas?
They looked at Su Yu worriedly, fearing that Su Yu would be afraid of their power and kill them.

Although they have now begun to take shape, they are still powerless in front of Su Yu.

Fortunately, although Su Yu looked solemn, he did not have a murderous look, but instead looked very interested.

Su Yu observed their status for a while, then said:
"Alright, you guys just keep the current scale for now, and don't expand it again without my order!"

Upon hearing this, all the mechanical clan members breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Yes! Mr. Su Yu!"

It seems that Su Yu is not going to take action against them.

Su Yu nodded, and then passed them some blueprint information: "Next, according to this blueprint, manufacture equipment and synthesize food."

Now that these mechanical creatures have grown to a certain size, they can be used to synthesize food.

The mechanical clan quickly received the information and began to synthesize.

By studying the information blueprint sent by Su Yu, they began to transform the clones and turn them into machines for synthesizing food.

Moreover, the division of labor is clear. Some are used to synthesize starch, some are used to synthesize protein, and some are used to synthesize fat.

Su Yu provides them with raw materials and energy.

They were very efficient and quickly completed the transformation of the replicas, forming miniature production lines and initially synthesizing substances such as starch and protein.

Among them, starch is relatively simple, but protein is much more complicated. It needs to synthesize various amino acids first and then combine into various different proteins.

After initially synthesizing these things, Su Yu sent them some blueprint information.

Let them use these starches, proteins, fats and other substances to synthesize real food such as flour, rice, meat, etc.

This is a bit complicated. Flour, rice and the like are easy to make and can be quickly synthesized into a decent material.

However, if you want to achieve the taste and flavor of real meat, you need to start from the subtle structure and make adjustments according to the type of protein.

Proteins come in all shapes and sizes. A difference in structure can lead to completely different properties and, naturally, different tastes as well.

Especially these mechanical creatures, they don’t eat meat at all and don’t know what meat tastes like. Asking them to synthesize these things is really beyond their capabilities.

It’s not that it can’t be synthesized, but the synthesized meat looks decent on the surface, but the taste is weird. You don’t even need to eat it, just smelling it will tell you there is something wrong.

Su Yu released a flame and roasted a piece of synthetic meat. Suddenly, a pungent smell of roasted rubber emanated.

"It seems that we need to find a few assistants to give them a taste and then give them some suggestions for adjustments..."

Su Yu looked at these strange synthetic meats and muttered to himself.

If you want to create a satisfactory taste, it is better to try it, but Su Yu is not interested in eating these unfortunate things.

After a little thought, Su Yu sent a message to the descendants of the mechanics, saying that he was testing new food and looking for people to try it.

As soon as the news came out, the descendants of the mechanics became excited.

Got something to eat?
In a short period of time, a large number of descendants of mechanics rushed to sign up.

Su Yu was a little speechless about these foodies and picked dozens of them at random.

After a while, dozens of descendants of mechanics came to Su Yu.

There were some familiar faces among them, such as Zhou Qing, the little girl Su Yu rescued first.

This little girl has only been in the Mechanical City for a few days, but she has become much rounder and is almost turning into a little fat girl.

Su Yu looked at these guys, laughed secretly in his heart, and then told them about the plan of synthetic food.

When these guys heard that Su Yu had such a "great" plan, they were so excited that they almost cried.

They have been a little worried these past two days because they ate too much and there might not be enough food in the city.

And now, Su Yu took out the plan to synthesize food. As long as it is completed, there will be no problem.

"Mr. Su Yu, please rest assured. We will take care of it!"

These people immediately got excited and had no resistance to food tasting.

Previously, they had been eating recycled synthetic food for ten thousand years in the materialized space.

The raw materials of those synthetic foods are extremely disgusting, and they are not processed thoroughly. After synthesis, they are just basic starch, amino acids and other raw materials. If you eat them directly, the taste is indescribable.

Compared to those disgusting things, what does this weird meat look like? At least it looks like meat, and the raw materials must be clean.

They immediately picked up the strange meat, tried it, and then gave their comments in a serious manner.

After hearing their opinions, the mechanical clan immediately made targeted adjustments.

Research on food synthesis soon got on track.

However, it is still difficult to synthesize delicious meat in a short period of time.

Soon, the descendants of the mechanics all looked troubled when eating.

At first they didn't take it seriously. No matter how bad this synthetic meat tasted, could it be as bad as the synthetic food they had eaten before?

Then they realized that they had been careless.

They had been eating and drinking to their heart's content these days and had become accustomed to normal food. Now they couldn't swallow this strange meat at all.

But for the sake of research, they have to keep trying more and more.

These people can only cheer themselves up in their hearts. For the sake of Mr. Su Yu’s “great” plan, they have to eat it no matter how bad it tastes!

These guys had determined looks on their faces as they kept stuffing those strange synthetic meats into their mouths. Su Yu couldn't bear to watch them.

But they were willing to eat these things, so it was not Su Yu's fault.

Moreover, Su Yu didn't have time to pay attention to them. Su Yu had his own things to do, which was to study the secrets of the miniature mechanical family.

Although those miniature mechanical creatures have stopped expanding, the terrifying replication capabilities they displayed still left a deep impression on Su Yu.

If these guys continue to replicate infinitely, Su Yu suspects that the entire planet will be swallowed by them!
