Chat group, swap bodies with Alicia at the beginning?

MEI, however, did not pay attention to these things, but carefully examined the data about the two people collected through testing equipment and observation instruments.

The combat capability displayed by Desdobia is equal to or even superior to that of the Honkai Emperor. At least on paper, it is enough to deal head-on with the Honkai Emperor blessed by the Great Honkai environment. It should be noted that even though she has become a fusion warrior, Desdobia, as a spiritual perception type fusion warrior, is not so outstanding in combat.

Evaluation: There is still a lot of room for development in the future, which remains to be seen.

As for Kosmo, looking at the data, he is a little weaker, but he is also enough to compete with the Honkai Emperor.

Evaluation: Refer to Destobia.

After recording it like this, MEI looked at the evaluation of 'True Self Armament' on the tablet and nodded slightly.

The cost will be much higher than the Fusion Warrior Program - after all, if you are not rigorous, the Fusion Warrior Program only requires human lives.

Although the reagents are expensive, they are relatively monotonous.

The only problem is that there is a huge gap between the upper and lower limits - and there is no way Mobius would talk to you about "value for money".

- Don't talk to me about the cost. I will never allow anyone to die on my operating table because of such 'ridiculous' things.

Even mice have precious value in Mebius' eyes - life should never be so cheap.

Because of this persistence, she successfully raised the cost of integrating warrior technology to a level that gave the top executives of the Fire Moth a headache.

Even though the effort is totally disproportionate to the reward, there are even people who accuse it of wasting resources and throwing precious resources into the trash - it is not uncommon to cut funding to the Mobius Laboratory for such reasons.

And what can we say about this True Self Weapon - according to MEI's evaluation, if everything is calculated according to normal costs, its cost is still extremely high.

One piece is almost equivalent to dozens of Titans (one Titan costs hundreds of millions). There is no other way, the cost of soul steel is too high.

Originally, the cost of the two large divine keys that Velvi made was enough to make the entire Fire Moth's finances tremble.

Fortunately, the information provided by Mebius seemed to contain technology on how to innovate the production of soul steel, which might be able to reduce the cost of this project to a certain extent.

In addition-

MEI's gaze slowly fell on Jiang Qiao, as if he was looking at some creature that was popular for its hard work and excellent cost-effectiveness.

Chapter 210 It’s decided to be you, Palu!

The essence of soul steel is a nanorobot made of special metals that are highly adaptable to Honkai energy. This special metal does not come from nature, but is a result of accidental synthesis by Mu Continent in the process of studying Honkai. It is not only expensive, but also extremely time-consuming.

If it weren't for the urgency of collapse, the ancient civilization would probably not have considered this material with extremely poor universality and excessively high cost.

"Soul Steel..."

In response to MEI's question, Jiang Qiao rested his chin on his hand - although the Herrscher of Reason does have the ability to create technology through Honkai energy, this ability has limitations.

If it is just a short-term construction, it will be fine. It only needs to consume a certain amount of Honkai energy to maintain its existence.

Long-term construction, like repairing the Moonlight Throne and Yaya repairing the Moon Space Gate, requires an extremely terrifying amount of Honkai energy.

The same is true for the manufacture of soul steel.

And because of its own particularity, Soul Steel cannot directly create a growing 'mother ore' through power like the 'True Self Crystal Flower'.

At least, it is impossible for him to do this at his current level. If he wants to achieve this level of 'fabrication of facts', it can only be achieved when he has mastered the power of 'Herrser of the End'.

The birth of the 'True Self Crystal' was just a trick. Although it looks a bit like a 'Honkai Energy Conversion Device', the core power source of the True Self Crystal is actually the 'Origin Space' behind the Origin Herrscher.

By extracting and pouring out power, and injecting the authority of truth and the authority of origin on the scale of the end, this magical 'new substance' was finally born... No, it's not quite a new substance.

In reality - it is more like an 'amplifier to assist the user'.

Jiang Qiao was thinking about how to solve this problem. It was impossible for him to do it. Even if he had the power of the End, it would be difficult for him to perform so many "Eternal Construction" in a short period of time. And if he frequently used his authority to pry into Jian's butt, he also needed to consider whether it would trigger Jian's counterattack and countermeasures.

This is also the reason why he doesn't often use this trick - the time is too short and there are unknown high risks.

For Jiang Qiao, it is more like a helpless "table-turning tactic" or a "trump card" when necessary.

At this time, a girl's voice with a faint smell of milk powder and a full sense of machinery sounded beside my ears:

"Doctor, it's been more than three hours since the scheduled break."

Jiang Qiao looked up, and what caught her eye was an image that popped up on the screen in front of her - the familiar face in it was exactly the same as Prometheus No. 17, the 'Pu Ya' that had a very high duplication rate with YaYa.

Mei stroked his forehead and sighed:

"It's not the first or second time, don't worry about it."

Since becoming the leader of the Fire Moths, she often stayed up late to work, and staying up all night was a common occurrence.

"Doctor, I must remind you that the last time you rested was 179 system hours ago." No. reminded emotionlessly.

This also surprised MEI:

"Oh, it's been that long."

Because she kept working without end, she couldn't even remember when she last took a break.

Jiang Qiao, who was listening nearby, twitched her eye - it was a good thing that MEI was now a Herrscher, otherwise, with this intensity of work, he would have died suddenly long ago.

If calculated this way, I actually saved MEI's life.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but sigh that he had done another good thing.

but--

His eyes fell on Promise on the screen.

"Prometheus, the AI ​​I created, now serves as my assistant." MEI gave a brief introduction - because the Key of God project is gone and there are various changes, there is only one Prometheus at present.

There is no need to add a naming number like "No. 17" to distinguish them.

For MEI, although the high-intensity work is tolerable, it is a little easier with Prometheus to share the work - for example, now there is someone to remind him that it is time to go to bed.

Of course, the final result of this habitual setting is often that Prometheus urges again and again, and then it is another beautiful new day.

"Oh, Prometheus."

Jiang Qiao stared at Prometheus on the screen and smiled very kindly.

He seemed to have a solution to the shortage of soul steel.

——With the assistance of the kind-hearted Mr. Jiang.

Miss Prometheus successfully possessed a body with hands and feet - MEI had originally planned to prepare a body for Prometheus later, so this was convenient.

After having a body...

"I cannot comprehend your intentions."

Looking at Jiang Qiao groping for something on her chest, Prometheus's little face was expressionless - because she was newly created, she had little idea about this aspect, but... thinking of some information she had seen, Miss Prometheus showed a look of disgust - according to the data obtained on the Internet, it was most correct to show such an expression when facing such behavior.

MEI didn't show any expression - after all, it was just a mechanical body... You can't say that anyone would have any thoughts about robots, right?

People can’t, at least not now.

But - unlike Cosmo and Desdobia who completed the test and left, Miss Alicia, who was still at the scene, watched the whole scene.

He silently puffed up his cheeks, repeating to himself that it was just a lump of iron, it was just a lump of iron... his anger index remained unabated!

"...I can't understand this feeling. The retrieval failed."

Prometheus had a slumped face, but his expression was a little rosy - a strange feeling, as if something had invaded his body... swollen... uncomfortable - his body was abnormal. Prometheus tried to do a self-examination, but his body was still adjusting and he couldn't move for a moment. He could only watch the man in front of him do whatever he wanted to his body.

The bright red eyes became blurred... After a while, Jiang Qiao nodded with satisfaction.

"what have you done?"

MEI walked over, looking a little surprised.

"I placed the core of the Herrscher of Reason into Prometheus' body."

"Its body should not be able to carry the power of the Herrscher Core, and... if we do this, the risk is too high, right?" MEI frowned. Honkai energy is extremely corrosive, and even human mechanical creations will be affected and corroded and manipulated. This is also the reason why the anti-entropy Titans of later generations have a very low cost-performance ratio. Prometheus' body is very ordinary, and if a Herrscher Core is placed in it, it will easily get corroded. Although it will not be possible to directly create a Herrscher of Reason by then, Prometheus is likely to be scrapped.

Although Prometheus was just a functional AI created by herself to share the work, she did not want to see her "creation" "go to destruction" so rashly.

"Don't worry, this body is made entirely of soul steel."

As he said this, Jiang Qiao looked at Pu Ya who was standing there with a confused look on his face, and smiled.

Just like the Key of God - Prometheus at this moment is undoubtedly a disguised Key of God.

Its effect is to convert Honkai energy through the authority of the Ruler of Reason and then create Soul Steel.

Although it is far from myself as the Ruler of Truth, in terms of durability and practicality - it is excellent!

The First God's Key. Forged Steel Furnace (Prometheus)!

"After having it, there is no need to worry about running out of soul steel."

As long as you have enough Honkai energy, you can continue to operate the Eternal Soul Steel.

Even other metals can be produced directly.

Of course, there are also disadvantages.

Because its form is similar to the Key of God, or in other words, in order to perform permanent construction, a high intensity of "activation authority" is required. During operation, Prometheus must invest a large amount of computing power into the "permanent construction program".

"Because the soul steel in my body is constructed by myself, there is no need to worry about metal fatigue."

Jiang stared at Prometheus with great satisfaction. In order to save Honkai energy, Prometheus's current body was actually "temporarily constructed" by him using the power of the Ruler of Reason. After all, it would be too much effort to construct such a large amount of soul steel for a person.

But he did not need to worry that this temporary soul steel would disappear - after all, Pu Ya had the core of the Ruler of Reason in his body, which could maintain itself and even produce and sell itself, and replace these "temporary bodies" made by Jiang Qiao with permanent soul steel while "working".

The most important thing is that because Prometheus is AI, it does not need to sleep at all.

What a perfect creation.

As long as they provide cheap "raw materials" such as "Honkai Energy", even the Herrscher Core will extract Honkai Energy from the imaginary space itself - it seems that Prometheus is fully capable of producing and selling its own products, and undertake a "one-stop service" from raw materials to finished products.

Do you understand the value of the entire industrial chain?

"..."

Pu Ya had a blank expression on her face - she didn't quite understand what this meant. For a machine, it was not strange to keep working.

But... I don't know why, looking at Jiang Qiao's face, Prometheus had an urge to rush up and hit him - no... According to the information obtained from the Internet, the best way to deal with this kind of behavior should be to 'hang him on the street lamp'.

Coincidentally, as a product of soul steel, Prometheus itself has the "function" of changing form - street lamps are naturally among them.

After learning about Prometheus's situation, MEI was silent for a moment, and then smiled.

Very good! This way, the organization can save a lot of money, and because they can produce and maintain themselves, even the "body repair period" and "maintenance funds" planned for Prometheus can be omitted in one fell swoop.

You did a good job, you did a good job, Jiang Qiao!

At this moment, the two seemed to have reached an agreement on a certain degree of compatibility.

And Miss Alicia was no longer angry - as for Pu Ya, not only was she not angry, but she even felt a faint sense of sympathy.

A cute beautiful robot girl becomes a 'birthing machine' that works all year round, and can produce 'Soul Steel' as long as 'Honkai Energy' is 'injected'... Gu, imagining such a scene, Alyssia couldn't help but shrink her neck.

However, although her attitude towards Pu Ya changed, there was a slight change in the look in Miss Fatty's eyes when she looked at MEI.

——Obviously, Ai Li, I was here first, why do you and Jiang Qiao have such similar train of thought? (Angry)

Angry - She and Jiang Qiao had been together longer, and they even knew each other well. But when MEI showed up, she was completely reduced to a background board. Not only that, the two of them had a confrontation, and their brain circuits were strangely consistent... Alicia puffed up her cheeks and began to feel jealous silently.

But she was a little scared - after witnessing the tragedy of Prometheus, Miss Alicia was very worried that she would be turned into a similar "ball of fluff".

Danger! Stay away! Must stay away!

Not only myself, but even the bad Jiang Qiao must be kept away from!

Otherwise, Ai Lixia would be a little worried that the bad Jiang Qiao would become Mei's "fluff ball" - even if she was to change, it should be Ai Li and mine!

Of course - I might also be worried that if Jiang Qiao gets close to MEI and ends up being led astray... If that happens, wouldn't I, Ai Li, be completely unable to cope with it?

In my mind, I imagine myself and Bad Jiang Qiao alone in a pink room... Bad Jiang Qiao is bad enough!!! If she gets worse, I, Ai Li, will be turned into a "fluff ball" and that will be bad!!!

Alicia, with a blushing face, said quickly:

"It's getting late, let's get some rest first!"

"Okay, but you don't have a place to live, do you?"

Although MEI herself didn't rest much, she would not ask others to do the same. She looked at Jiang Qiao. As a military organization, the soldiers of the Fire Moths were arranged with their own rooms. Originally, as a new base, there were many vacant rooms in the base, but several victories over the Great Collapse caused the power of the Fire Moths to expand rapidly, and the number of personnel also expanded in an extreme period of time. At present, there are basically no suitable rooms available for allocation in the base.

"This is the door card to my room. If you want to rest, you can go to my room."

Alicia’s eyes widened——Huh?

"How can this be done!"

"Is there any problem? I don't plan to rest and no one is using my room." MEI was a little surprised.
