Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Its internal structure has been completely destroyed by the violent energy feedback, and its core components have been completely melted down, rendering it beyond repair. It can only be sent back to the furnace for complete reconstruction.

In contrast to the thrilling progress of Zhang Xuan's project, the other projects proceeded at a much more stable pace.

The improvement of the phage sac that Ma Ben was in charge of was a long-term project that required a lot of accumulation and inspiration.

In just one month, Cui Ming did not expect any breakthrough progress.

The Zhao brothers made a very astute choice to collaborate with Liang Wu on development, and have already achieved remarkable results.

They successfully integrated the Tang Clan's Guanyuan magical artifacts with existing communication earpieces and monoculars, fully incorporating them into the Xuanji Armor.

They worked together to integrate these functional pieces of equipment into a single helmet.

This helmet is made of the same material as the Xuanji Armor, while the face and ears are redesigned by combining communication ear hooks and glasses for receiving messages.

At the same time, Guanyuan can use the magic arrays mounted on the shoulders of the Xuanji Armor to detect and sense objects and simultaneously feed back the information to the goggles on the helmet's face.

In this way, the functions of communication, reconnaissance, and information sharing have been initially realized.

It was this groundbreaking collaboration that broadened the horizons of Zhao Pingshan and Zhao Tianhai.

Since cooperation benefits both sides, why not simply integrate everything as much as possible?

So the two of them began to take the initiative to contact Tian Xiaodie, who was in charge of another project.

They attempted to form a large cooperative group to jointly develop full-body protective armor.

But Tian Xiaodie was extremely busy, and even conscripted her husband, Zhuge Yunhui, into the army.

The blueprints for the bicycle were quite simple; for a mechanical genius like Tian Xiaodie, it was just a matter of glancing at them.

The creation of materials was entirely handled by the Shenji Alliance's factory. Several mechanical arms could create all the parts of the bicycle in minutes and complete the assembly.

However... there have been problems with the manufacturing of the motorcycles.

Tian Xiaodie had absolutely no clue. She could understand the external parts, but she couldn't comprehend the internal structure at all.

Relying solely on the wooden ox and flowing horse of the Wuhou School, it's impossible to reach the speed of Fenrir the wolf. Not to mention Fenrir the wolf, it can't even match half the speed of a bicycle.

After much deliberation, Tian Xiaodie decided to go find Cui Ming. She wanted to see the internal structure of the Fenrir wolf, as it was extremely important to her.

Once this problem was solved, Tian Xiaodie knew that everything else would no longer be a problem.

Just then, Cui Ming, who had returned after the energy anti-aircraft gun project had temporarily come to an end, was caught red-handed by Tian Xiaodie.

This put Cui Ming in a dilemma. The internal engine blueprints of the Fenrir wolf were absolutely impossible to hand over, but...

Creating an engine blueprint that is more advanced than the current one is not a problem.

Helpless, Cui Ming could only use the excuse that he was still quite tired and needed to rest, and told Tian Xiaodie to come back for the blueprints the next day to send her away.

Before long, Cui Ming had produced the blueprints for the civilian version of the engine.

While sending someone over, new instructions were also given to Zhang Xuan.

It is hoped that Zhang Xuan can come up with her own ideas for the next step in the research and development of energy military equipment.

However, this was limited to conceptualization; she was strictly prohibited from carrying out any actual operations without Cui Ming's personal permission and supervision.

There was nothing Cui Ming could do; he was genuinely afraid of Zhang Xuan. This little girl was practically old enough to sit at the same table with a certain bomb-like little girl.

After settling Zhang Xuan in temporarily, Cui Ming devoted his main energy to optimizing and developing the energy giant sword.

While this giant energy sword is powerful, its size and weight do limit its effectiveness.

After all, even in the Republic of China era.

Carrying a giant sword all day long is really an exaggeration.

Therefore, Cui Ming had the idea of ​​slimming down and refining this giant energy sword to lower the barrier to entry for its use and make it easier for everyone to use.

However, while repairing the energy giant sword, Cui Ming felt a strange sense of déjà vu.

After all, after splitting minds through the Tomie puppets, strictly speaking, all of Cui Ming's puppets now possessed the ability to act autonomously.

But what if Cui Ming could control these giant energy swords through manipulation of objects...?

A crazy idea popped into Cui Ming's head.

If these energy giant swords were significantly slimmed down and made lighter, they could achieve the effect of funnels from Gundam!

Moreover, there's no need to consider the power of these floating cannons at all, because Cui Ming's own radiating true qi possesses the strongest corrosive properties.

If the power of the pill is injected into this small floating cannon, it will be an amazing weapon for armor-piercing and harassment in mid-range combat!

Cui Ming laid out the blueprints and began designing the floating cannons.

He intends to take a completely different approach from the energy giant sword, employing a lightweight, high-volume drone harassment strategy.

Since the Tang Clan's Qi Poison can work perfectly with the Energy Giant Sword, there's no reason why Cui Ming's Radiation True Qi shouldn't work.

According to his idea, the bullets fired by this floating cannon could be generated by combining his radiated true qi with the power of Dan Shi.

It is probably more deadly than any kind of Qi poison energy bullet.

If the development is successful, Cui Ming could even replicate the attack pattern of this small floating cannon into the Puppet Soldier Bee and Shadow Spider, further enriching the combat capabilities of the Divine Machine Alliance.

Moreover, Cui Ming felt that the recoil generated by firing energy weapons had great potential.

If the energy output can be stably controlled, is it possible to counteract gravity and achieve flight?

Cui Ming's mind kept popping up with interesting ideas, and before he knew it, he had already drawn a giant energy sword.

Several types of lightweight longswords, as well as shorter short swords and daggers, were modified.

It could even be a long, rhomboid shuttle...

Unable to contain his excitement, Cui Ming eagerly channeled a large amount of Qi, attempting to forcibly control these energy devices to float in the air.

Chapter 138 Floating Cannons

The future of floating cannons in Cui Ming's mind is vast.

The points can be transformed into countless starlight points, chasing down the enemy and making them unable to defend against them.

Then, by using the Tang Clan's secret technique of instant strike, they can unleash an ultra-long-range instant strike, much like a floating cannon.

If combined, all the floating cannons will be immediately combined and modified into an energy cannon to decide the fate of the world with a single shot.

However, while the idea is appealing, the actual implementation is fraught with difficulties.

Cui Ming not only possesses the ability to multitask far beyond ordinary people, but also further enhances his ability to control puppets by splitting his soul through the Tomie puppet.

Not only can he process a large amount of information at the same time, but even with the soul split, Cui Ming can control the puppet with just a thought.

Even with such extraordinary abilities, Cui Ming still couldn't skip the crucial nurturing stage in traditional artifact manipulation techniques.

All the energy weapons modified by Cui Ming, whether they were longswords, short swords, daggers, or flying shuttles, were suspended in mid-air, supported by a massive amount of Qi.

It wouldn't be difficult to force these lightweight energy weapons to levitate in the air simply by relying on one's own abundant Qi.

However, if you want them to be as easy to use as your own arms and to be deployed flexibly and quickly in actual combat.

Then one must try to establish a deep resonance with the object through long-term nurturing with Qi.

This process typically requires years of accumulation and cannot be accomplished overnight.

However, Cui Ming didn't want to wait; he didn't have the time to patiently nurture the plant for seven or eight years.

After careful consideration, Cui Ming realized that the principle behind this manipulation of objects was somewhat inexplicable, yet somehow familiar to him.

Traditionally, the practice of "controlling objects" involves selecting an external object and gradually establishing a connection through years of nurturing it with one's Qi (vital energy). One must communicate with the object day and night to ultimately achieve a state of unity between the object and the self.

Only then can the basics of controlling objects be considered complete. Generally, the choice of materials is crucial for cultivating the art of controlling objects, since most people only have this one opportunity in their lifetime.

If the chosen material is too fragile, and the object, which has been nurtured for a long time, is damaged, then the person who wants to use the object will have to start all over again.

But... what if the materials Cui Ming used from the beginning were composed of his own Qi, or were objects already filled with his own Qi and divine soul imprints?

Would this allow us to bypass the long nurturing phase and directly establish a connection to achieve control?

This idea immediately changed Cui Ming's mind, and he decided to rebuild the floating cannons.

This time, Cui Ming did not use conventional materials.

Instead, they took out several Shadow Spider puppets that had been fused with part of Cui Ming's soul through the Fu Jiang puppet's supernatural abilities.

To put it bluntly, these puppets can essentially be seen as an extension of Cui Ming's own power.

With a casual wave of his hand, Cui Ming dismantled several Shadow Spiders using hidden threads and mechanical arms.

They carefully removed the cores containing the power of the pill from their abdomens.

The remaining limbs were reshaped into a diamond-shaped shuttle more suitable for flight.

The outcome was exactly as Cui Ming had predicted.

These shuttles, whose interiors have been nurtured by the power of the pill for a long time and also bear part of his divine soul imprint, are flying shuttles.

During the transformation process, Cui Ming already felt that he had established a close connection with them.

This connection gave Cui Ming a strange feeling; these shuttles were like his limbs extending outwards.

With a thought, several rhombus-shaped shuttles emitted a buzzing sound, then silently floated up and nimbly circled around Cui Ming.

What surprised Cui Ming the most was that even with such precise control, the amount of Qi consumed was reduced by more than 90% compared to forcibly controlling energy weapons before.

For Cui Ming, this level of exertion was almost negligible.

In this way, Cui Ming has solved the problem of controlling the floating cannons.

Next, we will test the attack capabilities of the floating cannons.

With Cui Ming's focused mind, a flying shuttle suddenly hovered in mid-air, its tip opening up and down like a bird's beak, revealing the energy core inside that shone with a ghostly blue light.

Under Cui Ming's guidance, the power of Dan Shi and the radiation of true qi were simultaneously injected into the core.

The next moment, a thin, dark blue ray shot out from the shuttle and accurately struck the blade of an extra energy giant sword placed on the workbench.

However, the anticipated scene of the greatsword being corroded or pierced did not occur.

The deep blue ray did not damage the surface of the greatsword upon contact; instead, it quickly penetrated into it.

Starting from the center of the metal surface where the greatsword was hit, ripples of blue light spread out, and the area continued to expand.

As the shuttle continued to output energy, the entire giant sword was completely dyed deep blue within a few seconds, radiating the same energy fluctuations as its core.
