Douluo Dalu: Seven Kills

Chapter 269 Xuan Ziwen: This is the mecha and battle armor
"Teacher Xuan, Mr. Lu."

Chen Junting walked towards the three people, greeted Xuan Ziwen and Lu Lao, the two ninth-level soul masters, and then smiled and nodded to the seventh-level soul master, then came to the operating table.

I didn't care about anything else and just said to the three of them.

"You three have worked so hard during this period. You should stop your research for a few days and have a good rest."

"No, absolutely not."

Obviously, Chen Junting's kindness was decisively rejected.

Xuan Ziwen waved his hands excitedly, looking like a complete research fanatic. "Except for Zi Yan, the three of us have high cultivation bases, so it's not a problem even if we don't rest for a long time. What's important now is the current research."

For him, this place is like heaven.

Firstly, it was because in the Sun-Moon Empire, he could not really get access to top soul guide research such as humanoid soul guides.

The second is the issue of research funding.

Because for soul guide researchers, every research fund in the Sun Moon Empire must go through layers of approval and be divided up. If the research value reported is not enough or the feasibility is not high, it will be rejected directly. After all, each research fund is fixed, and the number of research projects in the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy and Mingde Hall is huge, and the funding restrictions are too many and too large.

Unlike the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, the amount of soul guide research projects it has set up is even more pitiful than that of Mingde Hall, but the research funds allocated to it are one-fourth of the annual income of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Now, thanks to the acquisition of Mingde Hall's high-precision soul guide technology, the research funds allocated to it have reached one-third.

There are few projects and much funding.

In other words, he could study whatever he wanted without worrying about the research funding. Although now, his main focus was still on this humanoid soul guide.

This…

Chen Junting looked at Xuan Ziwen's current state, his face still expressionless, but he felt speechless in his heart.

This was the first time, either in his previous life or in this life, that he had witnessed someone voluntarily giving up rest and focusing all their energy on working overtime.

See you soon!

"call--"

At this time, Xuan Ziwen picked up a cup of steaming drink, took a sip, and then he seemed to be refreshed.

"Oh, right. If you come to the lab this time, you want to see the current status of the research on humanoid soul guides, right?" Xuan Ziwen suddenly asked. Then he pointed to a screen not far away, on which were the curves of humanoid soul guides and armor.

At first, Chen Junting thought it was the distribution of the soul guide core array or array patterns on the two research items. After all, for the humanoid soul guide and the armor, that was the key.

But when Chen Junting took a closer look, he realized that what was displayed on the screen was not the soul guide core formation and array pattern distribution map as he thought, but the data of two research items!
"Teacher Xuan... What data are these for these two research items?" Chen Junting only took a quick glance and asked Xuan Ziwen, who knew the inside story. In his eyes, these data were like heavenly books, and the seemingly chaotic distribution made him completely confused. Instead of pretending to know, it was better to ask directly.

Xuan Ziwen was obviously in a good mood and smiled:

"As long as it's the data that has been detected, it's all here. And based on our research over this period of time, we have divided the advantages and disadvantages of the two research items, and after learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses, we have proposed two different small topics."

Upon hearing this, Chen Junting pretended to listen attentively.

Xuan Ziwen naturally did not hide it and explained: "Although the humanoid soul guide is large and heavy due to the numerous soul guide core arrays, we do not have to abandon it and force it onto the armor. Instead, we can use this feature to make the large size a movable turret. If placed on the battlefield, it will definitely be a powerful weapon. This is more advantageous for soul guides, auxiliary soul masters, or soul masters with low cultivation."

indeed so.

After listening to Xuan Ziwen's words, the word "mecha" appeared in Chen Junting's mind.

At first, the first thought in his mind was the battle armor, and he ignored the existence of the mecha.

Now that Xuan Ziwen mentioned it, I finally remembered it.

"Then this second type is what I called the battle armor."

Xuan Ziwen nodded and tapped the screen. The curve pattern and data of the armor were enlarged on the screen and presented in front of Chen Junting and Xuan Ziwen.

"This armor, which you call 'battle armor', is actually more suitable for spirit masters. To be more precise, it is the combat suit of high-level spirit masters."

Xuan Ziwen pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose, "For this reason, I also specially consulted some pure soul masters in the sect. I found that people with higher levels of cultivation pay more attention to the martial soul itself."

indeed.

Chen Junting agreed with this.

The original Douluo Three Kingdoms is different from the Sun and Moon Empire.

The Sun-Moon Empire relied too much on soul guides, which led to them simply piling up a large amount of soul power in the first 95 levels to successfully break through.

But the original Douluo Three Kingdoms is different. Even with the emergence of soul cores, which has led to an increase in the number of Titled Douluo, the question of how to practice Titled Douluo without soul cores still remains in their minds.

While Chen Junting continued to think, Xuan Ziwen continued.

"So I proposed a concept, which is to build battle armor for soul masters who specialize in martial arts according to the characteristics of different martial arts. It is not like a large humanoid soul guide, which is like a large number of soul guides piled up. After demonstrating it based on the data of the ideal state, this is feasible."

Smart, really smart!
He is worthy of being the top soul mentor genius in the Sun-Moon Empire.

Needless to say, the "Mecha" evolved from the humanoid soul guide was the direction that Mingde Hall had originally been developing, so it was normal for Xuan Ziwen to have heard of it. What really highlighted his genius was the gradual improvement and feasibility of the concept of "Battle Armor".

"Then Teacher Xuan, are you still having difficulties?"

If he remembered correctly, the metal requirements were not low.

Not to mention being integrated into the body, it's just a matter of quality.

And this is indeed the case, Xuan Ziwen said helplessly. When he wanted to apply the theory to reality, he found that only a small amount of precious metals could bear the load and not cause any harm to the user.

Chen Junting could not give any advice on this, but just asked them to go find Elder Taiyu.

Elder Thai may know nothing about soul guides, but for a descendant of a blacksmith family with a tradition of tens of thousands of years, he is absolutely OK in the field of metal forging!
This suggestion immediately made Xuan Ziwen's eyes light up!
The eager light even made Chen Junting think that if he had not been here, Xuan Ziwen would have been unable to hold back and would have gone to find Elder Taiyu.

It's a pity that even though the materials have been solved and the "Battle Armor" has been created, it still cannot be integrated with the soul master and is not complete.

But speaking of integration into the body...

Chen Junting suddenly felt that at this critical point, it seemed to overlap with the artificial soul bone.

But think about it, since soul bones can activate the "soul bone fusion technique" to form soul bone armor, if artificial soul bones are also feasible, then their fusion will become battle armor.

You know, Tang San's soul bones are of different types, but he still relies on the Eight Spider Lance to form soul bone armor.

As for artificial soul bones, if they are specially designed, wouldn't they be able to integrate better, and the armor formed would be similar to battle armor.

Perhaps, we can try in this direction.

As for the method of integrating the battle armor into the body...

Relying on spirit forging, soul forging, heaven forging and so on to forge metal is basically hopeless at present!

After shaking his head and clearing all distracting thoughts from his mind, Chen Junting listened to Xuan Ziwen's continued explanation.
