I Can Travel between Two Worlds-Chapter 210 - 1: Puppet Army, Golden Yuan Sect’s Hidden Legacy
Wang Lishan nodded, a smile on his face.
"The high-tier exotic metal materials you brought back before are quite peculiar..."
"After two and a half years of research, the strength of this batch of puppets can be said to have greatly enhanced... you’ll see soon enough!"
Saying this, Wang Lishan waved his hand, signaling Lin Chen to follow.
After passing through a corridor, Lin Chen followed Wang Lishan to an elevator room.
At the entrance to this elevator room, a dozen heavily armed martial artists stood guard.
After verifying their identities, Lin Chen followed Wang Lishan into the elevator.
The elevator descended all the way, stopping only after several minutes.
"This was originally a secret underground base, located three thousand meters deep underground, now transformed into a mysterious base specifically for researching cultivation technology."
Wang Lishan explained and led Lin Chen further ahead.
A few minutes later, the two entered a massive base room, no less than three hundred yards in size.
Upon entering the room, Lin Chen saw dozens of researchers busily engaged in their work.
The ceiling, walls, and the floor beneath were all made of alloy.
In the center of the base, row upon row of human-sized martial arts puppets stood dormant.
Seeing the number of puppets, Lin Chen’s face showed a look of surprise.
"This... this puppet army, there must be over a hundred, right?"
"There are exactly one hundred and thirty martial arts puppets."
Wang Lishan explained, then approached the martial arts puppets to elaborate on their capabilities to Lin Chen.
"Based on the think tank’s suggestions and expert research, the puppets’ functions have been meticulously classified, allowing for different types of puppets to be used according to different situations."
Wang Lishan pointed to the first row of puppets.
"This row consists of reconnaissance-type puppets, a total of ten."
"They have more complex computing systems, with a large database for environmental sensing and reconnaissance, enabling them to swiftly comprehend complex environments and carry out reconnaissance tasks independently..."
"Of course, their intelligence systems are more advanced, capable of independently conducting commercial activities. According to estimates, their behavior during transactions mimics human behavior with up to 98% similarity."
Hearing this, Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, and he carefully scrutinized the ten puppets.
Among them, the appearance of six puppets was identical to Long Ba and Feng Jiu.
Others resembled Xu Shi, Five Thunders, and Han the Sixth, and there was even one that looked exactly like Lin Chen himself...
Clearly, puppets with different appearances could come in handy in different environments.
For instance, afterwards, Five Thunders and Han the Sixth could both appear simultaneously...
"Since these puppets are dedicated to trading and reconnaissance, their armament is slightly weaker."
"For cultivators at Foundation Establishment Perfection, these puppets possess absolute dominance. However, handling those at the Core Formation Stage isn’t as easy..."
"Thus, the combined estimation is that the strength of these ten puppets lies between Fake Pill and early Core Formation... of course, if they self-destruct, that’s a different matter entirely."
Wang Lishan added a few remarks.
Lin Chen nodded, then pointed to the puppets on the left front and asked, "What about the capabilities of these puppets?"
Wang Lishan glanced at them and smiled, "These are combat-type puppets, approximately eighty in total."
"Of them, ten retain the appearances of Long Ba and Feng Jiu, while the rest correspond in appearance to the fake identities you used before..."
"This batch of puppets is an upgraded version of the previous ones, with enhanced firepower. The forging materials have also been upgraded..."
"According to calculations, this batch of puppets can efficiently suppress those at the early Core Formation Stage and won’t be at a disadvantage facing mid-Core Formation Stage before their firepower is depleted."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s eyes filled with amazement.
An entire hundred of these puppets, all possessing early Core Formation strength, are poised to sweep through the Yanlai Realm!
Not to mention within the Yanlai Realm, even in the entire Qing State, few forces could contend with this puppet army...
Lin Chen marveled, then pointed to the puppets on the right and said:
"Are those also combat-type puppets?" Lin Chen asked, curiosity in his voice.
Upon seeing this, Wang Lishan shook his head and said:
"No, that batch consists of self-destruct puppets, totaling ten... Each puppet’s body contains an equivalent of five kilotons of..."
Hearing this, Lin Chen’s lip twitched.
Goodness, they’ve even developed self-destruct puppets?
Five kilotons... It must be noted that the core within Long Ba and Feng Jiu was only about two kilotons...
These self-destruct puppets are meant to threaten Nascent Soul cultivators!
With these self-destruct puppets, annihilating a Sect seems all too easy.
Simply send a puppet into the Sect, then detonate... probably no one in the entire Sect would survive.
At this point, Wang Lishan stepped forward and pointed to the innermost puppets:
"That batch of puppets, totaling twenty, is our latest research achievement..."
"Because these puppets incorporate not only martial arts technology but also cultivation techniques."
Hearing this, Lin Chen’s face displayed a look of astonishment.
In the past two and a half years, he had been focused on his own cultivation and wasn’t up-to-date on the development of cultivation in Great Xia.
He only knew that the numbers of spirit plants, spiritual energy, and even cultivators had increased more than tenfold compared to two years ago...
Wang Lishan also perceived Lin Chen’s thoughts and laughed:
"You’ve been training these past two years and know too little about the country’s cultivation department... Why not take some time to learn about it?"
Wang Lishan considered and tentatively asked, "Why not take on the role of head of the cultivation department?"
Hearing this, Lin Chen was startled and quickly shook his head.
After all, isn’t the head of the cultivation department Wang Lishan? How could he take his position?
