Comprehensive network wizard, magic emperor

This is a rigorous and efficient process, but the instruments and equipment used are very simple. Except for computers and artificial intelligence programs, all other steps are integrated into a gene weaving machine.

Voyager Company has turned gene manipulation into a simple operation that any scientific research worker can perform independently.

All you need to do is input the computer-derived target gene model into the gene weaving machine, prepare some receptor seeds, put in a specific type of genetic material, and let the machine handle the rest.

The specific operation steps will of course be more complicated, but they are just routine laboratory procedures.

There is a gene weaving machine in each of the experimental buildings in Park No. 2 and Park No. 3, but they are both old and damaged.

To fully acquire this technology, you need to obtain two core components: one is the gene weaving device, and the other is the artificial intelligence responsible for calculating genetic information.

The production drawings of the gene weaving machine and the source code of artificial intelligence are most likely in the central control tower.

As long as the map runs smoothly tomorrow and the Purgatory difficulty is unlocked, we can go to the closed central control tower area the day after tomorrow.

Before that, it is necessary to ensure that the virus program can break through the encrypted information of the central control tower.

Lin Bo looked at the error message that popped up on the screen. The initial version of the electronic virus was rampant for a short time before it was blocked by a password lock.

This computer belonged to the lab director, who had taken extra steps to keep his private files confidential, treating them even more critically than his lab data. The information contained within might be plot-related content, perhaps some shameful personal hobby collection, or perhaps even valuable research ideas.

Lin Bo wrote down the error message, then stared at the password lock on the screen and tried to activate the Word Spirit.

"(EXPLETIVE) This lock is unlocked."

Gudorei spoke in words, and the cursed power was poured into the electronic world under the screen. Like a huge rock falling into water, the computer froze and then restarted automatically.

He didn't take the failed attempt seriously. Using the unlocking spell against a digital combination lock wasn't particularly effective, perhaps due to the lack of targeting. His spell wasn't directed at the virtual lock, but rather lost in the digital world.

Now, there is no point in staying in the dungeon. After packing up, Lin Bo said goodbye to his teammates in the channel.

When we left the lab building, we realized the barbarians had been plundering the park quite vigorously. They had dismantled all the roller coasters, and she had also cut down several glow trees, leaving neatly trimmed logs piled on the ground.

Return to the East Cliff Grottoes.

Lin Bo took a quick inventory of his gains.

The Gardener's protective suit is stylish and provides excellent protection. With a slight modification to the design, it can be worn as a down jacket in winter.

A white-quality stimulant that comes with a pneumatic syringe and can give the user a temporary boost. It's suitable for adding fuel to the fire when desperate, or for use in emergency surgery.

The last blue-quality weapon is the "Detonator" jet flamethrower, which can launch clustered plasma jets with an effective killing range of 300 meters. According to the equipment description, it is a special weapon used by the company's special department to deal with out-of-control living plants.

The biggest problem with this type of technological equipment is logistics. The flamethrower's built-in fuel tank will be gone once it is used up. If the player does not have the ability to produce it on his own and cannot find a qualified substitute, he can only search in the dungeon.

In the evening, after Lin Bo finished his computer class, [Garbage Pickup] sent him a new virus program. Their division of labor and cooperation began to bear fruit.

As to whether this virus can crack the encryption system of the central control tower, it is impossible to guarantee it. We can only say that there is a great hope.

[Picking up trash makes me happy]: Guys, have confidence in my skills (seriously)

Chapter 142 Homemade Equipment, Whale Fire Ring

Another cargo ship carrying whale meat stopped on the sea. The fisherman on the boat saw the unmanned silver ship coming, with an exceptionally strong seagull standing on the bow.

He prostrated himself in worship, catching a glimpse of the cargo box beside him being bound and lifted by gleaming silver chains. He glanced up and saw the silver ship had transformed into a long, steel snake, swallowing the heavy cargo box bit by bit.

The seagulls stared at the cargo box.

The wizard, sharing its vision, whispered an incantation, casting a levitation spell on the cargo box, allowing it to be easily carried away.

Lin Bo carefully sensed the resonance between himself and the steel, and controlled it to swallow the cargo box and fly all the way back to him.

The whale meat was dumped into the atrium mushroom garden. The thick fungal carpet surged like a layer of water, enveloping the organic matter, breaking it down, digesting it, extracting the magical energy within, hoarding it, and storing it. The pure white mycelium emitted a faint blue fluorescence.

With whale meat supplies currently low, the magical energy collected by the fungal mat is essentially used by Lin Bo to create magic mushrooms. If the original fungus is allowed to soak in magical energy for a long time, a new offspring species will likely differentiate.

Mushrooms with magical powers are an important condition for cultivating the myconid race.

Lin Bo has no plans to cultivate mushroom people for the time being. After all, there is a lack of a stable and reliable source of magic energy. Even if he works hard to grow intelligent mushrooms, they will quickly degenerate due to lack of miraculous nourishment.

Once we find out the truth about the source of magic in the sea and have enough magic energy reserves, it will not be too late to consider promoting the original bacterial strain.

He stroked the fungal blanket and chanted the magic mushroom's true name.

"The feeder needs mushrooms... Mushrooms, here they come..."

Three fresh mimic mushrooms emerged from the surging mycelium and soon swelled up and became shaped like small trees.

Most of the magical substances extracted from the whale meat fed this time were injected into it, so three standard whale blue magic mushrooms were obtained.

As a combat resource, the Whale Blue Magic Mushroom is positioned as a means of rapid attack to fill the shortcoming of the slow attack speed of the Whale Breath Lantern.

However, due to the insufficient hardness of the material itself, it performs poorly in attacking tough targets. It is effective when used to bully small monsters with weak defenses, but it may explode upon impact when facing elite monsters with thick skin and flesh.

Originally, this problem was not serious, until today when I encountered the elite monster Moth-Winged Tree Dweller in Garden No. 3 while running around the map. It not only had excellent defense, but also had extremely fast maneuverability. It could be said that it completely overcame the shortcomings of the two attack methods of the Whale Breath Lantern and the Whale Blue Magic Mushroom.

We have to find a better substitute for the Whale Blue Magic Mushroom.

Lin Bo thought of two strengthening options: one was to use enchantment to enhance the hardness, and the other was to replace the material from wood to metal.

He picked a magic mushroom from the fungal blanket, held it in his hand, and reshaped it with the art of life control.

The one-foot-tall mimic mushroom in the shape of a small tree twists like a living snake, its roots coiled into a round handle, the trunk extends into a narrow sword-like body, branches spirally hang down from the top, wrapping around the trunk, and the leaves fit like the pattern on the sword body.

The whale blue magic mushroom transformed into a dark blue dagger that was more than two feet long. It only had a hilt and a blade, but no guard or hilt. The whole sword was as slender as a silver fish. Except for the tightened tip of the sword, the overall width remained unchanged.

If used as a melee weapon, this is an extremely unreasonable design. Without a guard, the palm will slip to the blade when stabbing and cut the user.

But this is not designed for close combat. Without the sword guard blocking it, it can achieve better aerodynamic performance.

Lin Bo grasped the hilt of the tree root sword, waved it twice in his hand, then raised his hand and threw it out, using the flow control technique to control the magic mushroom to fly through the air. The strength continued to accumulate, and the speed became faster and faster, turning into a dark blue light band circling in the cave, and the cut atmosphere made a sharp whimper.

The whistling of the wind became louder and louder.

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the air, shattering a white cloud of sound barriers. At the instant the speed of sound was broken, the sword's tip snapped, transforming into a flying star and blasting out, striking the stone wall with a clanging sound.

Lin Bo recalled the magic mushroom and checked the sword. The originally sharp tip of the sword was broken by the shock wave.

Although this long sword design is beautiful, it is indeed not suitable for high-speed flight because the tip is under too much pressure.

He threw the damaged magic mushroom back into the fungal mat for the all-purpose fungus to reclaim, and then picked another intact magic mushroom.

This time, he shaped the magic mushroom into a ring, with elongated roots and branches intertwined around the ring's trunk. The inner and outer edges of the ring were sharpened, leaving no room for a handle.

The ring was thrown out and paused in the air, seemingly still, but in reality it was spinning at high speed. In Lin Bo's eyes, the force of the ring's rotation was like an ever-expanding vortex, lingering around the ring, as if it were radiating a silvery-white halo.

The next moment, he reversed the direction of the force and the ring suddenly shot out.

The air in the cave exploded with a loud and roaring sonic boom, and the shock wave rushed out of the cave rapidly, splashing fine water droplets on the surface of the waves. The flock of seagulls staying in the reef area suddenly flew up in surprise and hovered over the offshore waters.

Lin Bo raised his hand to recall the magic mushroom ring, which had already ignited due to the intense friction and the heated air. He would wait until the whale fire dissipated before inspecting the damage. The shockwave had left a dense pattern of cracks on the ring, but the overall structure was still intact and could be restored with a little repair.

After deciding on the style and shape, the next step is to consider strengthening it.

He picked the last intact whale blue magic mushroom and placed it in the incubator for the second-generation fungus, waiting for the metal mycelium to cover it, replacing the wood with a stronger and tougher metal.

Now, the metal mycelium has devoured the magic mushroom, and under the hard metal shell, the cell fluid is filled with magical energy.

Lin Bo recited the name of the second-generation strain in the animistic language.

"(Mantra) Gold-eating bacteria."

He shaped the mycelium that had consumed the Whale Blue Magic Mushroom into a ring. Compared to wooden magic mushrooms, the physical structure of metal mycelium could withstand greater impact, increasing its speed and lethality.

It's time for the final strengthening step.

After learning advanced enchantment knowledge, Lin Bo began to dabble in the field of multiple enchantments.

Multiple enchantment is to inject two or more spell effects into an object. Taking rune enchantment as an example, to complete multiple enchantment, at least two spells are required.

For enchanters, the longer the inscribed spell, the more difficult it is to guide the rune power to connect correctly and operate smoothly. Therefore, more complex rituals are required.

Moreover, the more power runes there are, the higher the material requirements for the artifact.

So in order to take shortcuts, enchanters often design sets of tools, engraving a spell on each piece, and combining them together to form a complete enchantment effect.

Taking the purple Tideguard set as an example, each piece of equipment itself is doubly enchanted, and when combined, there are two more set effects.

Lin Bo uses words to guide magic runes without the assistance of rituals. He only needs to consider whether the material of the enchanted object can bear the power.

As an alchemical material, gold-eating bacteria can easily be used to engrave two spells.

He rubbed his fingers over the ring, leaving runes on the metal blades on its surface, while chanting a spell.

"(Incantation) This thing is strong and indestructible, and the blazing [whale fire] is bound here."

A double enchantment of the true name was added, one was the common hardening spell, the other was the binding spell. The former made the ring more resistant to physical damage, while the latter allowed the whale fire to cling firmly to it and not be blown out by high-speed flight.

And there is another benefit after adding your real name.

Originally, metal mycelium was extremely difficult to ignite, but now, as long as the enchantment is activated, the magical energy inside the mycelium will spontaneously transform into whale fire.

Lin Bo weighed the exquisitely shaped ring, with an inner diameter of one foot and an outer diameter of one foot and two. The surface was slightly raised with dense roots and branches, and the texture was so delicate that you could see individual cells. It looked like a handicraft, but in fact it was an agricultural product grown in the field.

The runes of power engraved on the leaves are like mysterious leaf veins, emitting a barely perceptible glow.

At this time, the equipment certification of the comprehensive network sounded.

Whale Fire Ring (Blue)

Type: Enchanting product

Weight: 2.1 kg

Equipment Effect: Touch or chant a spell to ignite a fiery magical flame

Description: A strange weapon made by the player, with blades inside and outside, impossible to hold, and can ignite magical flames to hurt the enemy.

Can't hold, but can fly. ——Producer's message

After testing again, Lin Bo summarized the advantages and disadvantages of this equipment.

When the magical energy within the ring is exhausted, the whale fire will extinguish. Simultaneously, the intense heat will inactivate the mycelium, burning away the inner cells and leaving only the metallic shell. At this point, he will no longer be able to control the ring using the true name of the gold-eating bacteria.

It still seems to be a one-off product.

However, it can be restored to activity by simply placing it in the fungal mat and replenishing it with magical energy and cell fluid.

So Lin Bo crafted a portable culture box. It was small enough to fit in a shoulder bag or hang from the waist. It was a rectangular, flat wooden box with slots on the side for the rings to slide in and out. Inside, a thunder stone charged the mycelium.

In this way, the whale fire released by the charged metal mycelium can also wrap around the electric arc.
