Douluo: Not enough blood? Use your brain

“Junior, don't you think that studying mecha will delay your normal cultivation and the creation of battle armor?” Xingyu asked.

“No, a true genius, the more they learn, the more they can draw inferences and complement each other. I believe this also exists in mecha and battle armor.” Xu Yuan said calmly.

Battle armor was originally derived from mecha. The real technology is simplified from mecha, but battle armor had a prototype before the development of mecha.

The Mingde Hall ten thousand years ago had the ability to manufacture soul tool armor, but the amplification was limited. According to the soul tool level system at the time, it was only a complete set of level six soul tool armor at most.

Moreover, the original soul tool armor was only a pure amplification effect, and it did not have the effect of integrating the soul master's martial soul into the current battle armor and truly equipping it on the martial soul.

But there is no doubt that the prototype of battle armor is this kind of soul tool armor.

But it is undeniable that battle armor is also simplified from mecha.

At the same time, there is another point, that is, the development of mecha, initially also had the addition of related technologies of soul tool armor.

It can be said that battle armor and mecha have always been intertwined and complementary in terms of their birth and development.

“Well said!” Xingyu smiled brightly.

Met a junior with a high level of ideological awareness.

“Junior, because of what you said, you can ask me any questions you have in the production of mecha!” Xingyu said generously.

Chapter 110 First Time Controlling a Mecha

“Thank you, senior.”

“You're welcome, junior. Use the standard mecha provided by the Mecha Master Association for learning first, and then switch to your own mecha for training after you have your own mecha.” Xingyu said, “By the way, junior, do you have any ideas about mecha? Just like the body type and functional preference of the mecha.”

“Yes, try to make it a light mecha. I plan to integrate mecha and battle armor in combat in the future. As for the function, I prefer amplification, the amplification in the mecha state, and if there is a chance to upgrade it to a red-level mecha in the future, in single combat, it can be transformed into a spear carrier, which can materialize and integrate my martial soul, and form a second layer of amplification to my martial soul.”

Xingyu blinked, looking at Xu Yuan.

What a big goal.

Your senior is not even a red-level mecha master yet.

“Haha, your idea is perfect. If you have a goal, you can go firmly in the future. I hope you can have your own red-level mecha as soon as possible.”

“Then I'll take your good words, senior.”

After a brief exchange, Xingyu took Xu Yuan to the other two students.

“These two are just mixing credits, don't learn bad habits from them.” Xingyu said bluntly.

The two seniors were very embarrassed.

“Junior, have you had any basic mecha control before?”

“No.” Xu Yuan shook his head, but hesitated for a moment and said, “But I understand the mecha control system and devices.”

He can be regarded as having personally made two or three complete mecha, so he is naturally very familiar with the control system and devices inside the mecha.

“Oh? It seems that the preparation work is done well.”

Being able to understand the system and devices well is already considered a very serious attitude towards this course, and he has prepared well.

“Then you can try it first.” Xingyu thought for a while, preparing to let Xu Yuan control the mecha first to see how his control talent was.

With his strength, even if Xu Yuan made a mistake in control, he could completely suppress a standard yellow-level mecha in an instant.

Xingyu waved his right hand, and a yellow standard mecha appeared on the open space.

“Go in and try it.”

Xu Yuan nodded, opened the mecha, and directly flashed into the mecha control room.

This standard yellow mecha is five meters high. After Xu Yuan sits in the internal control room, there is still a lot of room for movement. It is considered a more comfortable type of mecha.

However, this belongs to a large mecha, not the type of mecha that Xu Yuan said he wanted to have before.

There is no light and small mecha in the standard mecha. Only the mecha master can customize and make this type of mecha.

“The standard mecha is more relaxed in the production drawings and more standardized in production. It is suitable for most soul masters. At the same time, there is an advantage that the control system is the most basic and can be used as a learning machine for any mecha control.” Xingyu said.

“You have a lot of room for movement, but don't move around in the control room. Sit in your seat in a standard posture, and each part should be close to the control device inside the mecha.”

According to Xingyu's prompt, Xu Yuan quickly stepped on his feet in the positions where they should be placed, with the energy output and interruption switches below.

His hands also grabbed the handles on both sides, controlling the hands of the mecha, and the opened pipes on both sides of his legs were closed by him, wrapping his legs. As the legs moved, he could control the legs of the mecha.

The five fingers of the right hand were placed next to the respective buttons on the handle, ready to press down to control the mecha's hands to make various movements.

In addition, there is also a sensing belt fixed around the waist, which is an important device for adjusting the balance of the mecha.

After all preparations were completed, Xingyu also released the authority of this mecha.

Xu Yuan injected soul power and operated it in the core magic circle inside the mecha.

The mecha can be driven by the soul power of the soul master. Generally, this is done by high-level soul masters, because their soul power is enough to support themselves in controlling such a behemoth as the mecha to fight.

However, for low-level soul masters, it can be said that soul masters below level 60 basically do not use their own soul power to drive the mecha.

Because the soul power of soul masters who have not yet reached level 60 is at most liquid. Compared with the quality of energy that can be stored under mecha charging, it is not necessarily better.

Of course, the quality of the energy compressed inside the mecha also depends on the quality of the mecha. Xu Yuan is now controlling a standard mecha, and it is only a yellow level. The soul power compressed inside is equivalent to the quality of ordinary soul masters and great soul masters.

This kind of quality is naturally not as good as Xu Yuan's soul power, but if you count the quantity, it is more cost-effective to use the soul power inside the mecha as the main energy source.

Xu Yuan injected soul power at this moment, first to stimulate the core magic circle inside the mecha, and to communicate with the energy inside the mecha with soul power.

Streams of energy were running inside the mecha under his control.

Everything is going according to normal procedure.

Part of Xu Yuan's soul power runs together with these energies in the core magic circle inside the mecha. If it needs to explode, his soul power will instantly replace the energy inside the mecha to achieve a higher burst.

This is a technique that Xu Yuan learned from the information.

“Okay, junior, you can try to control the mecha to move.” Xingyu shouted.

The mecha controlled by Xu Yuan began to move. First, he raised his right hand and placed it in front of him, as if he was looking at his own hand, making one action after another, then the left hand, and then he strode forward.

Xu Yuan experienced all of this, and compared each movement of the mecha with the range of each button he controlled to move it.

After the comparison was completed.

He began to do some difficult movements, such as jumping, running, and even trying to somersault.

Watching Xu Yuan's control of the mecha gradually enter the state, and quickly master it, as if he had become one with the mecha, controlling the mecha to do the actions of normal people, Xingyu's eyes lit up.

“This junior really has talent in mecha control!”

This is a natural mecha master!

"Junior, relying solely on the control device can only achieve this level of manipulation. For more precise control, you need to circulate your soul power within the core array, guiding it through the array to integrate with all parts of the mech. Use your soul power to regulate the operation of the arrays in each joint of the mech!" Xingyu reminded him.

Xu Yuan didn't react upon hearing this.

Because he had already begun to try.

He circulated his soul power to the joint of his right index finger, pushing the array to operate. Immediately, his right index finger began to bend.

"The test also involves control over soul power," Xu Yuan thought to himself.

Suddenly, he had an idea.

He mobilized his spear intent.

Xu Yuan used his spear intent to control only a small space enveloping the mech, and then integrated his essence, energy, and spirit into this space.

His control greatly increased!

At the same time, he used this control to assist himself in more precise manipulation of the mech. After quickly adapting, he began to control the mech for basic exercises, even practicing spear techniques.

Watching Xu Yuan's various operations, Xingyu outside was stunned.

Wait, how can you do all this right after entering the field?

The writing environment here isn't very comfortable either. The table height is awkward, the posture is uncomfortable, and my fingers are already noticeably sore after typing for only half a day.

Maybe it's also because of the results. The motivation and desire to write aren't very strong. For the next few days, I'll update three chapters first, owing two chapters each day. I'll update fifteen chapters a day when I get home. I'm keeping track of all the chapters I owe these days.

Currently owing six chapters.

Chapter 111: How Much?

After the initial familiarization, Xu Yuan, who had mastered the mech's movements and its control, began to perform increasingly complex actions.

His adaptation speed was very fast.

He quickly mastered the mech's movements corresponding to his fingers, and also quickly completed the correlation between the force and the stimulation intensity of the soul power on the soul-guiding array, applying it to actual control.

Generally speaking, mechs are not one's own hands and feet, and their control requires a layer of conversion programs, making manipulation very difficult.

It's like playing a game. The control of the game character clearly has corresponding buttons, but very few players can truly achieve complete unity between their own mind and the controlled hero, controlling their actions completely as desired.

Even with long-term practice and familiarity, it's only familiarity with the general heroes in the game. Those 'god-tier' heroes that require true synchronization of mind and spirit to operate are not something that simple familiarity can achieve. Even if the operation is achieved through repetitive practice, it's impossible to find the best entry opportunity in a real game at the right time and push the operation to the extreme.

Mech control is the same.

Without talent, even with practice, one can likely only perform simple repetitions in mech control.

Learning certain people's special moves is just superficial, unable to find opportunities in real combat and truly maximize the mech's potential.

It is precisely because of this that mechs have gradually been eliminated from the highest levels of soul masters.

After all, such talent is even rarer than pure combat talent and difficult to cultivate. This is equivalent to adding another restriction on top of the already numerous talent requirements, requiring strong talent, achievements in secondary professions, and the so-called talent for mech control. The combination of these conditions leads to very few soul masters having the opportunity to become top mech masters. Moreover, mech masters have the characteristic of burning money, and external factors such as the lack of divine blacksmiths lead to the shortage of sky-forged metal.

All kinds of conditions combined have gradually led to the decline of mech masters.

In the popular knowledge, the reason why mech masters were replaced by battle armor masters is that the top powerhouses among soul masters explored the so-called battle armor masters in order to maintain their own status.

But in fact, it is simply because battle armor masters consume less, have lower requirements, and have a higher current upper limit.

Otherwise, if there were truly enough sky-forged metal, and a god-level mech truly appeared, that is, a mech made entirely of sky-forged metal, and the core array engraved in it could also reach the tenth level or even the higher eleventh level in the soul-guided device rating, then the status of mech masters would definitely not be what it is now.

Even if there is only a slight chance, there will definitely be many crazy soul masters pursuing that god-level mech!

There definitely will be.

Especially those monstrous geniuses with extremely excellent conditions in all aspects.

And Shrek Academy happens to be a gathering place for such monsters, so if a god-level mech really appears, the atmosphere of the mech masters here will never be as stagnant as it is now.

Feeling that his soul power had been consumed by 10%, Xu Yuan barely stopped his attempt.

In just ten minutes, Xu Yuan consumed 10% of his soul power.

This was just a warm-up, not a battle.

Simple control of the mech for movement consumes 10% of soul power in ten minutes. If he had just been engaged in a fierce battle, then the consumption in these ten minutes would at least be 30%, or even 40% if the confrontation was more intense.

If the mech is also equipped with soul power-driven energy-type soul-guided devices, the consumption will only be higher.

"This should be because the proportion of my soul power in the energy drive is too high."

Although Xu Yuan did not completely use his own soul power in this operation, but activated the energy already stored in the mech, he mixed his own soul power with the stored energy and circulated it in the soul-guiding array for more precise manipulation.

The proportion was not low.

Xu Yuan was also adjusting the ratio of the two energies.

The quantitative stimulation of energy on the array can cause the quantitative change of the joint force of the mech, and this quantitative stimulation also needs to be controlled. Xu Yuan's control over his own soul power can naturally maintain the stimulation of his soul power on the array according to his will, but if he guides his own soul power to stimulate the array together with the external energy, this degree is not easy to grasp.

It was also because he had experience in manipulating the world's spiritual energy and was skilled in guiding external energy that he quickly found a ratio suitable for himself, adjusting the ratio of soul power and the energy stored in the mech itself to one to three.

This is the best ratio for him to mobilize the world's spiritual energy with soul power when using the Heavenly Yuan Brush soul.

"How is it? You also noticed the consumption of soul power, right?" Xingyu stepped forward and smiled at Xu Yuan.

Although he was smiling, Xingyu's heart was churning violently at this moment.

This junior's talent for learning mechs is too high, he is simply born for mechs.

If he continues to persevere in the future, he may well become a generation of mech masters!

He was so shocked and excited in his heart, but on the surface, Xingyu still had to show the appearance of a teacher, otherwise he was worried that Xu Yuan would become proud and complacent because of this, and not study hard in class.

"Yes, Senior, the mech's energy consumption is too high."

Not counting the large amount of rare metals consumed in the production of the mech's huge body, just the replenishment of energy each time is also an expense.

Of course, compared to the consumption of making a mech, this energy consumption is much easier. After all, the so-called energy can also be charged by the soul master himself when he is usually idle. There is an energy storage device in the mech, which also stores energy similar to soul power, called pseudo-soul power, and there are also those that store electricity, but when the mech is used, the internal structure of the mech also needs to convert electricity into pseudo-soul power, so that the soul master can more easily guide this part of the energy with his own soul power.
