Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

When in use, it only needs to be activated with a specific Qi breath to form a temporary spatial entrance in front of the user, allowing the designated object to be taken into its independent internal space.

Even more astonishing is that the weight of objects collected inside the phage seems to be isolated in another dimension, and the carrier only needs to bear the tiny weight of the phage itself.

The largest test record to date shows that the sac can even completely store a huge heavy mechanical arm.

The advent of this invention caused a huge sensation within the Divine Machine Alliance.

This was no less shocking than when Cui Ming first informed them that he had found a completely new energy source.

The convenience of the food bag directly surpasses Cui Ming's eye-catching Fenrir Wolf motorcycle.

It fundamentally solves the problem of carrying large, heavy equipment and special items.

For the Divine Machine Alliance, which currently relies heavily on various mechanical devices, the Devouring Pouch is a revolutionary creation.

Even Cui Ming himself was surprised to learn of this after he came out of seclusion.

Cui Ming originally thought that spatial artifacts like the Devouring Pouch should have been created by Ma Xianhong in later generations.

Unexpectedly, it turns out that Ma Xianhong's grandfather, Ma Ben, had already completed the development during the Republic of China era.

However, at present, phages still have some limitations.

For example, it cannot store objects with living characteristics, and a single phage can only hold one item.

Regardless of the size or weight of the object, the internal space of the sac seems to follow a unique pattern.

However, these limitations do not prevent phages from being a highly valuable tool.

For Cui Ming alone, this means...

Cui Ming was finally able to carry those human puppets or special puppets that were inconvenient to show to others more discreetly.

Just like the newly created Tomie puppet, this puppet is now like a magical artifact in Cui Ming's hands, but it cannot be used openly.

The ability to conceal powerful combat strength within a small space and then unleash it suddenly when needed will undoubtedly greatly enhance his tactical choices and the effect of surprise.

only...

This strange sense of déjà vu... it's quite strong...

Cui Ming was afraid that the puppeteers of this world would go astray because of this, and then...

It's you I've chosen! XXX

I finally subdued XXX!

Cui Ming shook his head frantically, trying to banish the thought from his mind.

After the successful conclusion of the first Shenji Alliance assessment conference, the Shenji Alliance established the tradition of holding an assessment conference every year.

This will maximize the motivation of everyone within the alliance.

After all, you won't know until you investigate.

Surprisingly, there are many individuals within the alliance who are unique in their inventions and creations and have their own understanding of the subject.

Among them, Cui Ming has already discovered a talent who has begun to research firearms on his own.

That is Zhang Xuan, who died young in the original novel.

After witnessing Cui Ming's mysterious armor, this little girl had been pondering how to break it.

Not only that, she also took into account Cui Ming's mechanical arms.

She abandoned the melee-focused mechanical puppets and immediately set her sights on ranged weapons such as bows and crossbows.

But after repeated trials, she realized one thing...

Ordinary weapons pose absolutely no threat.

But when Cui Ming introduced the energy core into the Divine Machine Alliance, lighting up thousands of homes.

Zhang Xuan isn't focused on people's livelihood!

That's the possibility of defeating Cui Mingxuan's mecha!

Could this energy core be used as a weapon?

A crossbow? No... its power is still somewhat lacking.

After much deliberation, a phrase suddenly popped into Zhang Xuan's mind: "Learn from the barbarians to subdue them."

Using the energy core provided by Cui Ming as ammunition, and combining it with firearms manufactured by foreigners as a base, they will break through the Xuanji Armor!

That's right!

Zhang Xuan thought it was feasible more and more, and after joining the Divine Machine Alliance, she devoted herself to the research.

After she finally finished her research, she combined a bolt-action rifle with an energy core and developed the first sniper-type energy rifle.

Just in time for the preliminary assessment... Over! Cui Ming emerges from seclusion.

Chapter 134 The Little Girl's Persistence

After upgrading the puppet again through Tomie, Cui Ming finally stepped out of the workshop where he had been in seclusion for a long time.

But to his utter surprise, a series of news reports from the outside world caught him completely off guard.

First, there was news from Yong En that Lu Jin had secretly come to see Cui Ming during his seclusion.

It is said that his master wanted to meet Cui Ming, but unfortunately Cui Ming was engrossed in his research at the time.

She had no time to pay attention to what was happening outside, and after Zuo Ruotong attended the preliminary assessment meeting, she still couldn't wait for Cui Ming to come out of seclusion.

Unfortunately, Zuo Ruotong could not stay away from home for long, and in the end, she could only sigh that she was not meant to be and return to Sanyimen in Fujian.

Zuo Ruotong wants to see me?

Cui Ming's mind was filled with the image of the Great Ying Immortal, who had achieved the triple rebirth of the immortal and floated in the air like a banished celestial being.

It seems I'll have to visit Sanyimen in Fujian sometime in the future.

Before Cui Ming could recover from Zuo Ruotong's message, the next messages were even more surprising to him.

Next up is Ma Benzai, who won first place in the preliminary assessment. His creation, the Devouring Sac, is something Cui Ming has been eyeing for a long time.

The strategic value of this spatial storage device is undeniable.

Its convenience will greatly enhance the logistics and tactical flexibility of the Divine Machine Alliance. Cui Ming has already begun to think about how to integrate the Devouring Sac into the existing combat system.

However, a detailed report about Zhang Xuan and the energy rifle she developed immediately came as a huge surprise to Cui Ming.

According to Cui Ming's original plan, he intended to wait until the basic industry and technology within the Divine Machine Alliance had accumulated to a certain level.

The concept of energy weapons should be introduced gradually to avoid technological leaps that could lead to technological distortions and other uncontrollable risks.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhang Xuan, this unassuming girl, quietly pulled off such a big feat!

Moreover, it was done in a highly personal way...

Cui Ming immediately used the communication earpiece that had been made available throughout the entire Divine Machine Alliance to send Zhang Xuan to find him.

But just as he sent the message through the mental link, Zhang Xuan rushed in, clutching a long sword, looking impatient.

Seeing how enthusiastic the girl was, Cui Ming didn't know what to say.

They led the person directly into their secret workshop, listening to Zhang Xuan recount her research and development process while preparing to test the effectiveness of the energy rifle.

Listening to this cold-faced young woman, who had changed her usual demeanor, talking non-stop, Cui Ming felt quite pleased.

From her words alone, Cui Ming realized that Zhang Xuan had probably been studying firearms for quite some time.

That makes sense, considering Zhang Xuan has been on the front lines and has witnessed the various effects of firearms.

Although her Mo Sect's mechanical arts are equally exquisite, current firearms cannot cause any damage to the mechanical beasts.

However, with Zhang Xuan's insight, he could naturally see the future prospects of firearms. The current firearms were not lethal enough, which was a problem with the bullets.

But the days ahead are long, and one day even the mechanical beasts of her Mo Clan will be unable to withstand it.

Therefore, after Cui Ming solved the energy problem and introduced the energy core into the alliance, Zhang Xuan keenly realized that there was a high possibility of weaponizing this energy core.

Thus, he became completely absorbed in the research and modification of firearms.

Because firearms development is not as advanced as it was in later periods, current mainstream firearms are still at the stage of bolt-action.

Zhang Xuan then chose a Type 24 rifle, which has a relatively simple structure.

During the first modification, Zhang Xuan boldly targeted the magazine in the gun's loading mechanism.

She hollowed out the entire ammunition supply and loading area, embedded a miniature energy core, and used specific energy guiding runes to replace the ammunition with the energy core.

Then, the internal structure is completely transformed. Using its own Qi as a guide, the micro-energy core is activated, and then the trigger connects to the array constructed inside, absorbing energy and firing energy bullets.

This modification eliminates the need for reloading the rifle, but at the cost of a significant increase in the overall temperature of the weapon after each shot.

The weapon must be allowed to cool down naturally before it can be fired again.

This results in firing intervals that are unacceptably long, even shorter than the firing frequency of normal firearms.

Therefore, in order to solve the heat dissipation problem, Zhang Xuan carried out a second modification.

She completely redesigned the barrel casing into a hollow structure and added runes to enhance acceleration and energy conduction.

While the efficiency of heat dissipation has indeed been improved, making rapid firing possible, new problems have arisen.

Energy converges and accelerates within the modified barrel, causing a dramatic increase in the power of a single shot.

The target used in this shooting exercise was a trial version of the Xuanji Armor.

With one shot, the enormous recoil of the firearm sent Zhang Xuan flying, and the weapon itself was also at risk of overload.

This modification resulted in the creation of a handheld energy cannon rather than a rifle.

Furthermore, to use it, one must wear the Mysterious Armor to barely withstand the recoil.

Its practicality is low, but it cannot be ruled out that it could be used as a surprise weapon to deal with special situations.

Zhang Xuan did not give up despite the series of setbacks.

She then proceeded with the third and final modification.

This time, she almost completely abandoned the traditional appearance of firearms.

The final weapon, after being modified, was less of a rifle and more like a heavy greatsword.
