From the Soul Motion Machine onwards, the Mechanized Douluo

Chapter 38: Take it with you and you'll gain the wisdom to save her! [Please read on! Please vote!]

In Soto City, at the research department of the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce, Chen Hong lay on a rocking chair, staring blankly at a necklace-like soul tool in his hand.

Three months have passed since the first highway opened to traffic by the Technology Chamber of Commerce, when I suddenly fell into a coma.

During this period, the Technology Chamber of Commerce gradually got on track. On one hand, they continuously paved the roads around Soto City using cement with a brand-new formula, and on the other hand, they continuously produced Soul-Moving Trucks to sell to Soul Master nobles near Soto City. The standard version of the Soul-Moving Truck cost only 20,000 Gold Soul Coins. Additional services, such as upgrading to a more luxurious sedan model, would incur additional costs. The Technology Chamber of Commerce kept the truck manufacturing cost below 5,000, and in the future, as their employees become more skilled, this cost might be reduced to below 3,000.

Since the products manufactured by the Technology Chamber of Commerce are all relatively safe production equipment, the Kingdom of Barak, where Soto City is located, supports the development of the Technology Chamber of Commerce in many ways.

After initial operation, the Science and Technology Chamber of Commerce now has an Infrastructure Department, a KODO Vehicle Department, an Operations Department, and a Research Department that was recently established and only has two people, Chen Hong and Chen Lin.

The Soul Motion Vehicle Department currently has a production capacity of only ten Soul Motion Vehicles per month, which is small but sufficient. Chen Hong taught Chen Lin the Soul Power Compression technology of his Soul Motion Vehicle core. Although the Soul Motion Vehicles made by Chen Lin can only achieve 70% to 80% of the effect of those made by Chen Hong, it is still enough.

Since that sudden coma, Chen Hong has completely hidden himself from the public eye, leaving all the attention and fame to his father, Chen Lin.

Why?

When the road aided by the Technology Chamber of Commerce was officially opened to traffic, the cheers of tens of thousands of people resounded through the sky. Chen Hong's mind exploded at that moment. The enormous noise assaulted his soul, his ears went deaf, and his wide-open eyes went blind. Even the "wise man's time" could not suppress the distracting thoughts that overwhelmed his will. His brain, in its self-protection mechanism, immediately unplugged the internet cable!

Brain: Beep, I'm dead.

Chen Hong: No! You didn't!

After the system restarted, Chen Hongcai slowly woke up. He then kept a low profile, reduced his outings, and spent his days meditating on his soul ring. Finally, three months later, he successfully completed his comprehension of the [Sage] inscription.

I've mastered the runes once more! I'm so powerful now that even I'm afraid of myself!

"The energy circulation circuitry inside this soul-guiding device, which possesses a function of spiritual comfort, appears as a beautiful three-dimensional picture when viewed from a three-dimensional perspective."

Inside the research department, in an empty workspace, Chen Hong withdrew his mental energy and looked at the necklace-shaped soul tool in his hand, marveling at it.

This soul tool necklace is a level 3 soul tool with the function of calming the mind and focusing the spirit. It was collected for Chen Hong by his mother, Ning Lu, through connections when the Technology Chamber of Commerce was conducting business.

Chen Hong believed that his spiritual spirit was too sensitive. Once a large number of people gathered around him, their emotions would be stirred up, and the unintentional spiritual fluctuations would be perceived by his spiritual spirit. As a powerful Soul Master of only level 12, Chen Hong's small brain simply could not process so many subtle and disordered spiritual waves that even Soul Masters could hardly detect. As a result, his brain simply went on strike!

Brain: Uh, I'm dead.

Chen Hong: !!! Get up! Get up!

Little Head: (Peeking out) Okay! I'm up!

"Hmm!" Chen Hong couldn't help but shiver, shaking all the disgusting images of sluts out of his mind. At the same time, he summoned his soul ring and activated [Sage Time].

"The inscription on the [Sage] is far more complex than the tranquilizing inscription on this soul tool. It took me a week to memorize it. In that case, let's melt it down. This precious metal with spiritual properties is the real treasure!"

In the makeshift workshop, Chen Hong got up and threw the soul tool necklace in his hand into a crucible next to him, and began to slowly decompose the spiritual attribute metal inside.

After restoring the soul tool to liquid metal, Chen Hong used his mental power to perceive that the calming runes inside had been destroyed, and the soul tool attribute of the necklace was directly lost.

"The archaeological research on soul tools in this world sometimes makes me quite apprehensive. I'm afraid that I might accidentally cross the line of some mysterious being and be destroyed by Shintoism."

After refining the spiritual metal, Chen Hong used his simple little tool to shape the metal while silently thinking to himself.

When Chen Hong discovered that advanced soul tools existed in this world, but there was no corresponding soul tool technology system, he felt a little uneasy.

Weapons and soul tools are things I dare not touch.

Only by producing soul tools could they barely make a living, while simultaneously researching higher-level soul tool technologies.

After the spiritual metal solidified, Chen Hong took out his slightly modified soul-guided carving knife and began to fill the spiritual metal with soul power wires as thin as a hair, combining them to form the [Sage] inscription in his mind. This was a very delicate task, and Chen Hong's movements were slow and light. The intensity of the soul-guided carving knife in his hand changed from time to time according to his soul power control, thus carving three-dimensional lines on the plane.

The technological principle behind the Soul Guidance Carving Knife is soul power compression technology. Logically, Chen Hong could actually try to use soul power compression technology to develop a soul power cannon, but he doesn't dare.

Chen Hong could conclude that the cannon was made in the morning, the person died at noon, and that evening he was inspecting the small steel cannon in the Pope's bedroom in the Spirit Hall.

(The initial compression technology was certainly not mature, so the cannons could not be made too big, hence the small steel cannons.)

It's not that they will be eliminated by humanitarian efforts, but rather that technology companies that possess the capability to manufacture weapons of mass destruction will instantly transform from strategic partners into strategic targets of plunder with the motto "those who submit to me prosper, those who oppose me perish."

If you make a gas cylinder and sell it to support your family, people will buy from you when they need it, and they won't have any ulterior motives towards you. After all, even without the gas cylinder, they can still use cheap materials like coal and wood.

But if you stuff sugar balls into a gas cylinder, then I'm sorry, you'll be singing "Goodbye, Mom, tonight I'm going to wander the world" tonight.

Chen Hong naturally didn't want to be a homeless child without a mother. When his own foundation wasn't strong enough, he would never stuff steel balls into a gas cylinder or use a steel pipe to draw rifling, which was like "Lu Bu riding Dian Wei without a horse."

It took Chen Hong three nights in total to complete a ring-shaped soul tool that resembled a golden hoop.

Naming: [By taking this, you will gain the wisdom to save her, but why would you, who have no desires or wants, still want to save her? That is the question.]

It is abbreviated as "This is a question" and is also known as "The Philosopher's Ring".

Thank you to [Wang Qidian], [Fu Qin], and [Opposing Cat and Light] for the monthly tickets!
