Under One Person: The Puppet Immortal in the Tang Sect

Cui Ming simply smiled at Liang Wu and left to make some preparations at the workshop.

The workshop, under Cui Ming's deliberate design, has a distinctly modern feel, but due to the limitations of the technology of the time, it cannot be replicated. However, the space is spacious enough, the ceiling is high enough, and the ventilation is excellent.

Stepping into Qiaogongtang is like entering a new world, at least for people of this era.

The control mechanism sealed off Cui Ming's private manufacturing room layer by layer, and he took out the uranium ore he had brought from the mine.

As is well known, nuclear fission is the process by which uranium undergoes various neutron reactions to produce new neutrons and generate a large amount of energy.

These newly generated neutrons can trigger a chain reaction by colliding with other uranium.

Continuous nuclear fission releases even more energy.

Cui Ming, on the other hand, can absorb this energy and then, through the system's reversal and transformation, use his own body as a transfer station to extract this energy into a form suitable for himself.

but...

Naturally formed uranium ore contains very little uranium-235, which can participate in fission; the majority is uranium-238, which is difficult to fission.

Uranium-238 cannot directly undergo a chain reaction.

To put it simply, 235 is a pretty cheerful guy; if you poke him with your finger, he'll burst into laughter.

But 238 is a rather introverted and aloof kid. If you poke him with your finger, nothing will happen except for making him disgusted.

That's how it was supposed to be...

If this world didn't have Qi...

Moreover, by sheer coincidence, Cui Ming unexpectedly cultivated a different kind of Qi.

It was the true radiant energy generated by his system-reversed radiation combined with his Dan Shi ability.

Thinking of this, Cui Ming couldn't help but feel nervous.

He felt it while he was at the mine.

Once he releases that radiant true energy, the entire mine becomes exceptionally active.

He was now extremely grateful that Yon had fainted in his arms at the last moment.

If he were to actually fire that True Qi Cannon composed of Dan Shi and mechanical arms, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But the experiment had to continue. Cui Ming placed the uranium ore on the test bench and, by operating the precision mechanical arm in the laboratory, cut a small piece of ore into a fragment.

Then carefully store and seal the remaining ore.

Next comes the most tense and exciting part.

To prevent the situation from getting out of control, Cui Ming did so before the final experiment.

They had already inscribed layers of protective and isolation runes throughout the entire experiment beforehand, and that's not all.

He wore three layers of protection.

There is one layer on the experimental platform, one layer inside the laboratory, and another layer carved on the entire exterior of the laboratory.

Using the principles of the Xuanji Armor, another layer of armor was added to the entire laboratory.

All operations are directly connected to Cui Ming himself.

I let out a soft sigh.

Cui Ming circulated the true qi within his body.

In an instant, the entire laboratory was filled with all sorts of mysterious runes, layer upon layer, densely packed, like a dream.

Let's begin!

Cui Ming condensed a pill on the spot. As Cui Ming's cultivation improved, the pill became more and more attractive. As soon as it was condensed, Cui Ming felt a life-instinctive desire to devour it.

However, the moment Cui Ming tried to resist, the system reversed the alluring technique. At least in Cui Ming's perception, the pill had become that dangerous, spine-chilling thing again.

While carefully using the mechanical arm to support the tiny fragment of uranium ore on the test platform.

On the other side, a mechanical arm slowly approached, twisting the pill.

At the very moment these two substances touched.

A dazzling, silent blue light!

The light instantly illuminated the entire laboratory.

Chapter 40 Flawless

A dazzling yet warm blue light suddenly flashed before my eyes.

Others may not know, but Cui Ming knows it all too well.

This stuff is radiation!

The so-called warm feeling is just an illusion caused by the radiation eroding your flesh and blood.

Cui Ming subconsciously forced himself to activate all his cultivation techniques and boosted all the protective formations to their maximum power.

The next moment, Cui Ming felt himself enveloped in a blue light.

In the blink of an eye, the moment his vision returned to normal, Cui Ming's pupils contracted sharply.

Before me stood a laboratory, heavily protected and covered in runes.

In the original location of the test bench, a perfectly regular hemispherical cavity with a radius of five meters suddenly appeared, centered on the test bench.

It's as if someone dug it out of the ground with a giant spherical ice cream maker.

Everything within this hemispherical area with a radius of five meters—from the specially made test platform to the ground inscribed with layers of arrays, the meticulously arranged Xuanji Armor plating, and even the soil deeper below—was all included.

Everything seemed to have been erased, vanishing without a trace.

There were no signs of an explosion, no melted residue, no fragments, nothing at all.

The edges are so smooth it's breathtaking, as if they were born that way.

The air was filled with radiation energy that was a hundred times more concentrated than in the mine, hovering like a ghost within the laboratory.

And this radiation is being rapidly converted by the self-operating techniques and systems within Cui Ming's body.

Now, Cui Ming is like a black hole, frantically absorbing and converting the radiation in the laboratory, which is why the radiation in the laboratory does not leak out.

If someone unaware of the reason saw such a scene, they would likely kneel on the ground and shout that it was a reincarnation of a celestial being, and worship it.

After all, Cui Ming was currently flashing a blue light, accompanied by the absorption and conversion of radiation, making him flash like Ultraman's timer.

Cui Ming felt excruciating pain in his meridians. In a state of agitation, he unconsciously took out the Shadow Spider puppet he had been carrying.

This mechanical puppet, originally intended for assassination and reconnaissance, has now become the target of his venting.

Cui Ming's powerful spiritual energy instantly split into multiple parts, and his brain at that moment seemed to become a server capable of multi-threaded operations.

He focused his mind and tried his best to suppress the surging, turbulent radioactive true qi within his body;

Meanwhile, several other minds were rapidly analyzing the current structure of the Shadow Spider puppet and constantly deducing several modification plans to enhance its energy carrying capacity.

Strengthen the core framework, reconstruct energy pathways, and inscribe isolation and stabilization runes...

At the same time, several mental commands manipulated the six mechanical arms on their backs, quickly approaching the Shadow Spider puppet.

The tips of the six mechanical arms constantly transform into various tools needed for modification.

A sophisticated surgical procedure is about to begin.

Based on the constantly optimized design blueprint in his mind, Cui Ming, tormented by the throbbing pain, had no time to wait and began to radically reshape the Shadow Spider puppet in his palm.

Zizizi!

Amidst the continuous sounds of mechanical modifications, the puppet's sharp limbs, originally used for attack and stealth, were dismantled without hesitation and dissolved for future use.

Remove, simplify, dissolve, reconstruct...

More complex metal structures continuously surround the puppet's core, forming layers of hollowed-out rune structures.

This is a rune that Cui Ming obtained from the previous mine, which has been strengthened many times over through several modifications and actual combat.

Now, within this core, a sophisticated energy constraint and cyclic force field has been formed.

Just as the structure and runes began to take shape, Cui Ming's right hand began to guide the extremely compressed deep blue radiant true qi, carefully and slowly injecting it into the puppet container.

hum!

The puppet's core began to resonate deeply, and its originally dull metal shell slowly began to emit a dangerous blue light.

Discovering that the container could initially hold this energy, the mechanical arm, which had been somewhat cautious before, was modified at an even faster pace.

The mechanical arm moved like the wind, and the original materials for the Shadow Spider puppet were quickly exhausted, but in this laboratory, the last thing that was not lacking was materials.

By continuously manipulating the hidden threads to bring the necessary materials, more and more suitable metals were melted and reshaped, turning into more hollow runes that wrapped the entire core layer upon layer.

It's like weaving an unbreakable cage for this raging energy core.

Cui Ming was constantly designing and adjusting the combination of runes in his mind, as well as the width of the energy pathways and the intensity of the injected energy.

The basic design is in the mind while the operation is being carried out by hand, constantly maintaining a delicate balance.

Finally, through continuous and subtle adjustments, the raging blue light gradually became docile and was firmly bound within the layers of metal core.

Once the last rune was inscribed, the mechanical arm retracted.

What appeared in Cui Ming's palm was no longer the ferocious spider puppet full of murderous beauty.

It is now only half the size of a palm, and its shape has been completely changed.

At its core, a pure blue light flowed slowly, as if it were alive.

This light was enveloped by layers of hollowed-out runes made of countless metals. These runes were activated by the energy inside, and under the mesmerizing blue light, they shimmered with a faint blue glow.

Overall, it looks like a masterpiece of craftsmanship, a metallic gem containing a galaxy within.

The mechanical puppets, originally intended for killing, now exuded a strange and pure beauty.

Cui Ming felt the subtle resonance between the gem in his palm and his own true qi, and the swelling in his body finally subsided. He finally let out a long sigh of relief.

Looking up at the room now completely devoid of radiation and the terrifying pit, Cui Ming still felt a lingering fear.

This is just a small fragment of uranium ore, no bigger than a grain of rice.

The moment it came into contact with the mutated pill, it produced such an incredible effect!
