I, the undead, save the world with the dolls

"Professor, do you know how long it takes to analyze and integrate an unknown technology into existing systems?" Krochi, Vulcan Heavy Industries' chief engineer, mecha anime enthusiast, and socially anxious and autistic demon, said with a frown.

"One or two months?" Sun Yang said.

"That's the time for analysis. As a humanoid, if we want to incorporate these technologies, we need the assistance of human engineers to quickly iterate... Professor, we need an entire human team to assist in development, not just me and a few dozen AIs."

Crouch pointed at the advanced power armor in the report.

Let's not talk about the design details for now. Our humanoids are all equipped with Saturn alloy frames, so their resistance to damage can be ignored. But since they are not human after all, our designs will not be so conservative.

Crozier began to talk a lot when he talked about the areas he was familiar with.

Power suits, technology from the Great Mountains. Our power suits have always been a makeshift affair. Because you, Professor, have immediate combat needs on the west coast of the Fallout world, we've been forced to simply assemble them from the materials we have on hand. However—our current equipment is practically one step removed from garbage!

Crozier's excited voice overwhelmed everyone around him who was participating in the meeting.

Our concept for the power suit is a modular garment that can be quickly removed and replaced. Currently, when a humanoid gets its power suit damaged, it's difficult to even remove it. If one piece is damaged, you have to replace it with another! This is wrong! I'm going to redesign the entire power suit!

[And our advanced power armor shouldn't even consider human comfort! In my design, the performance of the power armor can be connected to the docking port on the power suit. Traditional force feedback will cause a lot of design redundancy.]

[We will also cancel the existing heavy power suits. All heavy equipment can be integrated into the power armor. I guarantee that the advanced power armor can successfully complete all previous tasks!]

However, we did encounter a technical difficulty. When we designed the advanced power armor, we took into account the possibility that the professor would not be able to provide quick support. The logistics team cannot use the power armor to provide support.

Therefore, we are considering replacing our existing low-intelligence AI with Radiant AI. We will pre-train these AIs with templated tactical training, allowing them to autonomously navigate to the corresponding humanoids, and then have the humanoids use the corresponding power armor.

Crouch rambled on.

Hmm? Does it look like BT from Titanfall 2? The AI ​​here isn't quite as clever, though. But with less than a gigabyte of RAM, it fits neatly into the power armor without taking up too much space.

This is a good idea. Sun Yang nodded.

[Once the humanoid enters the armor, the weapon system can be fully utilized by the humanoid, while the AI ​​will be responsible for assisting with aiming and other tasks.]

We're considering the need to resolve the coordination issues between the radiation AI and the humanoid mind cloud for subsequent iterations. Once this is resolved, our weapon system won't require significant changes for a while.

Finally, we've updated the shield system. We plan to master holographic technology and install holographic energy shields on humanoids and power armor. However, the performance is significantly improved, with the recovery speed, capacity, and usage time greatly increased. There's nothing particularly concerning about this.

Crochet said a lot of things and took a short breath.

"Ah... so what you mean is that you currently need to solve the compatibility between the AI ​​and humanoids in the Fallout world?" Sun Yang asked cautiously.

"That's fine, but it's still a real hassle. This... compatibility issue is a hurdle for both the power armor and the synth technology itself. Once we resolve that, we can move on to the next step. That's all for this report."

Crochet finished speaking and sat back down.

"The difficulty of synthesizing humans is indeed that the interface of the synthetic human brain and the humanoid mind cloud map are not compatible, right?" Sun Yang looked at Pascal in the solution.

[In fact, the brains of the synthetic humans created by the academy have also gone through many iterations and compatibility designs. Their brain parts and brains are already very mature, and we need to conduct new research. We also need humanoid volunteers.]

Pascal reported.

"Due to our confidentiality measures, we can't provide too many technical details to the Great Mountain Thought Body. It will take some time to resolve the data compatibility issues of the synthetic human brain." Pascal said nervously.

In fact, it was because she went to play on Sun Yang's airship that the progress was very slow and even stagnant.

As the chief researcher of the Humanoid Mind Cloud, going to a party with the professor was really enviable... and annoying! The surrounding Oasis humanoids all condemned their supervisor for slacking off.

[This also presents a technical challenge with the Iron Blood Force's replacements. The Fallout AI uses very little memory and possesses relatively high intelligence. While it's not quite on par with the Tactical T-dolls and Iron Blood Elite T-dolls, it's a significant improvement over the original puppets. At least it won't be so clumsy in the hands of some fool.] The agent explained clearly.

"For us, this AI technology is our most valuable asset. With it, our technology and combat capabilities will take a leap forward," the agent added.

"Okay, I roughly understand," Sun Yang, who was still confused, pressed his palms to calm the increasingly excited humanoids. "So, is there anything you need me to do? Kidnap a few scientists?"

"No, no, no, no, don't touch me, Professor," Crouch said in a panic. "Those scientists are completely unreliable. None of them are truly willing to help. They're just there to cause trouble."

"Then I'll go to Maodianke..." Sun Yang saw that the Oasis humanoids were extremely nervous. "So you don't need anything now, right?"

"The benefits of the Fallout world have reached saturation, Professor. We need time to transform these technologies..." Pascal said with high emotional intelligence.

"Anyway, Professor, go somewhere and have some fun. Take your vacation and stay home. Stop being such a workaholic. Anyway, please don't assign us any new analysis work until we've come up with these plans and scenarios." Crocchi was being quite rude.

In the past, Pascal would have come out to get Crocchi's attention, but even now, Pascal could only smile wryly. Perhaps she was already feeling a bit overwhelmed by the sheer volume of work on hand.

"Okay, then I won't run around for a while, and let the humanoids in the research department digest the technology." Sun Yang nodded and agreed to this request.

"This will take several months, Professor. Don't be tempted to go off to other worlds again, okay? Seriously, who would venture out before they've even finished their equipment?" Kroki warned again. Only after hearing Sun Yang's repeated assurances did he settle down to his own business.

"So what are our heavy armored squad's needs?" Sun Yang felt like he often neglected the heavy armored squad's humanoids. Without them, the battle would be very difficult to win.

"No. Yang, besides driving armored vehicles, they also perform patrol missions. Just because they used mortars in Griffin and operated tanks and airplanes in previous worlds doesn't mean they only do these things. You're just stereotyping them. They can do so much more."

M4 said earnestly.

"Okay, okay. I understand. If I take the phone, I'll just stay in the Dark Souls world to relax and kill some monsters. I think few people can hurt me now." Sun Yang shrugged and ended the voice call.

"Next..." Sun Yang made a list in the window, "First, I have to see if Strider has returned, and then I have to go see Andil. Oh, there are so many things to do, and I have to run."

Sun Yang touched the campfire beside him and walked towards Rumi.

341 Communication with the Green Robe Girl

It was as warm as honey. In the distance, waves crashed against the cliffs. Under the sun, the whole place was covered with a honey-colored filter. Although this place was not home, it could be called a safe place to live for a long time.

The scenery around the campfire was not much different from when he left. The girl in green robe sat bored on the rocks by the sea, looking at the sea, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Hey~ Green Robe Girl, long time no see." Sun Yang greeted Green Robe Girl after coming out of the campfire.

"Long time no see, Mr. Sun Yang," the green-robed girl responded without turning her head, gazing at the distant ocean. "It's been a while since we last met."

The green-robed girl's attitude remained the same, neither good nor bad, and she seemed quite indifferent. However, the people here only came back once every ten days or half a month, so it would be strange for her to have any other reaction.

The girl in green robe turned her head and looked at Sun Yang. She looked him up and down, and then her eyes were fixed on the disguised spiral sword on his wrist.

"Mr. Sun Yang, where did you get this object?" the girl in green robe asked.

"Hmm? Do you have any impression of this thing?" Sun Yang recalled the identity of the green-robed girl.

Hmm... a human-born dragon child? A half-dragon girl? Technically, Andil is Green Girl's father? Damn, how old is Andil?

But that guy doesn't seem to care about his own creations. After all, he's a mad scientist. I guess he doesn't have any family affection other than his brothers...

No, if it really meant breaking the world's cycle of curse on the undead, he wouldn't have any objection to killing his brother.

One of them turned into a tree to find a way to transcend, while the other entrusted all his souls to a tree and took on all the curses himself. It's hard to judge these two.

"I know it. This is a spiral sword. It is infused with the power of fire and changes its shape according to the user's thoughts. This object should only be owned by Lord Andil, so have you met Lord Andil?" asked the girl in green robe.

"You've said more than before," Sun Yang had to become serious and stopped joking. "Show me your identity, Green Robe Sister."

"You can't call me Green Robe Girl just because I'm wearing a green robe... I have my own name, my name is Shanalote." Green Robe Girl seemed to finally look Sun Yang in the eye.

"I am the son of a dragon born of a human. I take over the responsibilities of guiding the undead and extraditing souls from those elderly fire keepers. I was created by those who broke the established cycle of cause and effect in the past." Shanalot seemed to have revealed her identity only because of the spiral sword that chopped off Sun Yang's hand.

"I understand. Andil wants to break the cycle of cause and effect. I made a deal with him before, and he gave me this spiral sword." Sun Yang sat on the ground, and Shanalote opposite him also sat down cross-legged, looking at Sun Yang.

"I have no way of knowing Lord Andil's will, but if he gave you the Spiral Sword, then you must be the most noble person. Sun Yang... Master Sun Yang, I and my other clones will continue to guide you as always." Shanalot said firmly.

Sun Yang thought to himself, "It seems that Shanalote's attitude towards me has changed a lot."

"It's good enough that you can do your job well... Why do you call me Master too?" It still feels weird to be called Master by the green-robed girl who can upgrade him.

"Some people who happen to pass by here will mention your name, Sun Yang, the magician who operates sophisticated puppets to fight. Some people who come here to study magic will call you Master Sun Yang." Shanalot explained.

"Okay, by the way, has anything new happened here since I left?"

"Some people came and spoke ill of you, but they didn't cause a commotion. That Green Cult believer has been silently guarding this place. There was also a caravan that came here from the Earth Pile Tower. When they didn't find you, they left the treasure behind and then left."

Shanalote added, taking out a ring from her clothes.

It was a green flower ring, and it looked very finely crafted. Sun Yang took off his gloves and compared them with the ring on his finger. He could see that the ring given by the merchants had a stronger magical power.

"Thank you, thank you so much," Sun Yang said. He had never expected that the person he had rescued would actually come back and leave behind a very nice ring. "I feel like my energy is recovering faster."

It would be hard to find if he really went looking for it. In the game, you have to add fire to defeat the boss to get this ring, but there is probably no such ridiculous way to get the ring in this world.

"Your soul and body have finally merged tightly together," Shanalote said after observing Sun Yang. "Before, your soul was merely attached to this body. But now, your body and soul are no longer independent of each other, which is a good thing."

"I don't quite understand what you are talking about." The terms such as fit and closeness are still too profound for Sun Yang.

"Your soul does not belong to your body, but your soul and body are compatible, so they have always been able to function normally. It seems that the soul and body have been integrated over time, or have you died once?" Shanalote said.

"You can still see this kind of problem?" Sun Yang subconsciously touched his chest, "Then wasn't I in danger before? You never warned me."

"Talking about this kind of thing will only make people panic, and there is no appropriate solution. Speaking about it will only make you fear for no reason. Most undead people will fall on the road. Many people don't have time to think about this kind of soul-solving problem." Shanalote explained.

"Hmph, well, it's useless to tell others, right... Can I regard you as Andil's messenger?" Sun Yang continued to ask.

"I don't bear that kind of responsibility. What I have to do in the past, present, and future will not change. This is my destiny and responsibility." Shanalote said as if it was a matter of course.

I always feel that...the artificial ancient dragon created by Andil, the half-dragon green-robed girl Shanalot, and other messy humanoid life forms are a bit like biological robots.

Is it worthy of FS, the company that created "Armored Core"? When it comes to the life created, there is always a unique flavor of AI robots.

Even the inheritance and development of technology, often emphasized in science fiction, is more subtly reflected in Dark Souls, something Sun Yang quite likes. Technology, after all, must undergo a process of dissemination and iteration.

"Okay, I understand that you are responsible for the operation of the entire world. By the way, do you feel bored?" Sun Yang casually took out a spare handheld game console from his pocket and handed it to him.

It was quite pitiful to see Shanalot squatting there bored all day. Sun Yang took out a game console that most people before the 20th century would find hard to refuse.

Let you taste the power of this power suitable for all ages! O power of heaven!

"Occasionally...what is this?" Shanalote looked at the flat brick-like object in her hand.

"It's a game console produced by O Paradise. Keep it safe and don't let anyone see it. And don't tell them I gave it to you... Come on, let me show you how to play it..."

Shanalot looked confused, but considering she was a distinguished guest from Andil, she still tried to operate the system. Then she opened the built-in game and started to control the character.

"Shanalot?" Sun Yang waited for more than ten minutes, and Shanalot just sat on the ground and started fighting.

"Ah? This is quite fun..." Shanalote clumsily saved a file. "It's very light and convenient, a very powerful machine. But is it used to kill time? Although I can't understand the words, it seems that these games can be played without understanding the words."

"Here's a gift for you. This is a solar charger. You can understand it as storing magic power by shining in the sun, and the machine needs magic power to operate." Sun Yang left a charging device for Shanalote, taught her how to use it, and then stood up.

"Give it to me? What do you need me to convey? Or do you want something from me?" Shanalote didn't seem to be very good at communication.

"......Then next time I come to see you, let me hear your past stories." Sun Yang said, patted his butt and left.

"Go over?" Shanalote looked at Sun Yang with some confusion and squatted down on the spot.

"Anyway, help me upgrade first, Shanalote?" Sun Yang didn't let her ask the reason, but stretched out his hand.

By the way, I think I saw a story in the abandoned case about Shana Lotte meeting a Franco-Han warrior as a child? I'm quite curious about that story. I'll ask about it next time I get a chance.

Sun Yang, with the mentality of asking questions, tried to start upgrading himself. He did not notice that Shanalote was looking at him with a strange look.

342 Honey's Daily Life

"Your body contains enormous energy." Shanalote whispered.

That's not the case. I haven't upgraded since I built the Earth Tower. I have run around in Earth Tower, Molten Iron City, Black Mist Tower, Abandoned Abyss, Bewildered Ruins, Pyroxene Town and Radiation World, and accumulated quite a few souls.

Sun Yang counted the places he had been and couldn't help but sigh that he had traveled a lot. The map of Soul II was really big.

If I could kill the giant spider in Pyroxene Town, I would have collected the souls of all four giants. Unfortunately, Andil stopped me and pointed me to Brother Rukatiye. Otherwise, I would have completed the achievement of killing four giants.

Soon, a column of updated data appeared in front of Sun Yang.

活力38精力30体力22意志力40力量18（30）敏捷14（30）适应力20智力20 信仰51

Vitality +2, Energy +2, Stamina +2, Willpower +2, Strength +2, Agility +2, Adaptability +2, Faith +1.

I guess I grew so much naturally. I grew so much purely through fighting and activities outside.

So, no intelligence increase? This is too true.

The growth of willpower, adaptability and faith is probably due to constantly using the thunder gun to fight and operating in a radiation environment.

Vitality, energy, and stamina... Is messing around with a doll really a way out? The idea of ​​getting all sane from partying is just bizarre! A normal person would have kidney failure by then! It's a miracle I survived without sudden death.

This strength and agility are probably based on the same reason. Those days were truly insane. Competing with humanoids, wasn't that really just honing my body and willpower? It's a blessing I managed to hold on and not faint mid-fight...

I remember that I was really half asleep and half awake when I was on the magic ship a long time ago.

I can only say that they're truly undead, incredibly durable (double meaning). I wonder when I'll be able to defeat a humanoid in a fair and square way, until it breaks its mind... Honestly, if I really want to do that, I can just tweak the parameters.

So these are all exercises! Sun Yang found an excuse for himself to make his conscience feel a little better.

If an undead person fails to find the Fire Keeper or Shanalot, he will probably have to hone his combat ability and body through countless life and death tests, and then slowly nourish himself with the soul stored in his body.

This way, one can slowly break through the upper limit of human beings, but the speed is not expected to be very fast. After all, if one dies accidentally, there will be no place for the soul to go. People who fight alone are prone to sudden death.

Sun Yang channeled his vast soul into his body. As usual, strength and agility weren't a big deal; they could just rely on the power suit. With the power suit's double 30 stats, he could already outperform most humans.
