Chapter 138 Active Metals and Composite Biomaterials



Shouting out their fighting moves is already quite unsettling; it's practically like a fight in a two-dimensional world.

There is also the possibility of bizarre scenes of people chanting slogans while moving about.

For example, someone might shout: "Left step, right step, one two one, one two one..."

That's incredibly brutal; Wu You dared not think any further.

While it's unlikely to be that exaggerated, it would definitely be something that would be extremely embarrassing for him, the creator, and for future users.

To avoid the awkward situation of only moving when called out, nerve conduction can be considered one of the most important links to some extent.

Write it down in a small notebook, then underline it.

Okay, for now, these are the three key issues.

Let's give it a try.

Raise your hand to summon the Rainbow Coral.

Two mushroom-sized black lights flashed across my palm, and two tiny, colorful corals appeared in my hand.

The two little creatures have very short feet, and when they walk slowly, they look like they are wriggling, while when they walk quickly, they look like they are hopping around.

The rainbow coral polyp is the most successful breeding case in Wu You's hands so far.

Wu You never even issued a breeding order; they were confident that they would reproduce on their own to increase work efficiency.

Place them on the table, then give the order.

"Create a metal skeleton."

The two colorful corals immediately started moving on the table and moved closer together.

They began to expel a sticky substance from their mouths, and the same substance was secreted from their body surfaces. Soon, the secretions formed a small clump of silvery substance attached to the two coral polyps.

At this point, two colorful coral polyps wriggled and squeezed out of the pile of matter and crawled to one side.

On this relatively soft, silvery substance, the holes that had just enveloped the coral polyps gradually shrank.

It formed a cylinder that wasn't quite standard.

"Sizzle..."

A faint sizzling sound, like the sizzling of roasting meat, came from the air.

At the same time, Wu You also smelled a faint odor, like some kind of burnt smell.

"Damn, my computer desk!"

On Wu You's computer desk, beneath the secretions of the colorful coral polyps, a small patch of the wooden surface was charred black.

Two colorful coral polyps stood to one side, looking at their master with a somewhat innocent expression.

Wu You's outburst of profanity just now indicated his displeasure, making them appear somewhat apprehensive.

"It's none of your business," Wu You waved his hand.

The table was nothing; it was just an instinctive reaction.

Wu You did not feel that the secretion on the table was very hot, so it was clear that its surface material was corrosive.

Whether it is acidic or alkaline is unclear.

This soft-looking secretion is actually a metal-like substance.

Soon, the surface of the secretion will dry out, and then it will no longer corrode other things.

The mountain trees are completely unaffected by this stuff, but Wu You's computer desk is just ordinary wood, which obviously can't withstand it.

Actually, Wu You's skin could ignore this corrosion, but he just felt it looked a bit disgusting and didn't want to pick it up.

After about ten seconds, the secretion had turned into a silvery column, and a small pit had been corroded into the wooden board of the computer desk.

However, only the surface is dried; the corrosive substance does not disappear inside.

I squeezed it a couple of times, and the silver cylinder was quite soft.

Wu You knew that this was a metallic alloy, and that it was alive, with the cells of colorful coral polyps growing inside.

These cells and metallic substances can even be described as having a symbiotic relationship.

It can influence and change the shape of metal. When the internal secretions are nearly dry, the metal will quickly be shaped and become very strong.

As long as the external environment has various energy sources such as temperature, radiation, and humidity, these special cells, which have deviated from organic matter, can theoretically live indefinitely.

In a sense, the rainbow coral polyps have been severely underestimated by systematic evaluation.

If scientists were to analyze the composition of this metal's alloying elements, the results would likely be somewhat strange.

It may not necessarily be the same as the usual elements on the periodic table.

Wu You felt that their characteristics were somewhat similar to the metallized sharp organs of advanced alchemical creatures.

For example, the claws of the Azure Dragon, or the skin of the Lion-faced Vajra, but perhaps they are still lacking in strength.

This also explains why the cells of rainbow corals can survive inside such a metal object.

Depending on the type of metal consumed by the coral polyps, the resulting living metal will also vary.

When reshaping is needed, these internal cells secrete a small amount of the previous substance, and the metal softens and changes shape.

Cells inside soft metal can also be commanded, but only if their parent coral polyps are not nearby.

Therefore, the commands that can be received become relatively simple, and it becomes impossible to understand overly complex principles.

A few seconds later.

The metal cylinder has been transformed into a square metal sheet that is two millimeters thick and ten centimeters long and wide.

The color is a metallic silver-white, yet it also appears somewhat soft and mysterious.

"Ding ding ding..."

Wu You flicked the metal piece with his finger, gradually increasing the force.

"Thump... thump..."

Later on, the force of the bent fingers popping out was like a hammer hitting a metal plate.

The metal sheet, apart from vibrating at a high frequency, did not even leave a dent.

I tried to bend it from side to side, and as I gradually increased the force, the metal sheet almost bent into a ninety-degree arc, but there was no sign of it breaking.

Wu You is now practically a human bending machine, and the force he exerts is considerable.

Nodding, Wu You felt that the metal had excellent strength and toughness, as well as excellent plasticity.

It is very suitable as the main defensive component of armor, but not as a material for joints.

Perhaps keeping the joint area soft inside for a long time can help.

However, it is clear that this metal can only increase defense, but it cannot increase the user's strength.

On the contrary, although it is not heavy, it is still a metallic material, which will increase the burden on the user.

It also hinders the transmission of commands.

Actually, this metal is more suitable as a defensive material for large-scale biological mechs in the future.

Well, at least this is good news. The rainbow corals and their secretions will definitely shine in the future.

This won't take long.

While the Seven-Colored Coral Worm doesn't have high potential, it's currently at the Black Iron beginner level and is still considered trainable. It's estimated that it can at least be upgraded to Black Iron advanced, and with a bit of luck, it's not impossible to reach Bronze.

While the active metals of that time were unlikely to generate power, their material properties would likely have been improved significantly.

If it could achieve the same level of appearance as the Lion-faced Vajra, that would be truly amazing.

However, the goal now is not to build large-scale bio-mechanical armor, but to develop individual bio-integrated armor.

Obviously, we still need to refine one or more special creatures.

Wu You had also made up his mind.

It might be difficult to get a creature to meet all the requirements, and it might not even be satisfactory.

However, it can be achieved through several combinations of organisms.

The goal is to achieve a composite biological implant, which might even perform better than expected.

It has a plant-like muscle organism as its core, an active metal shell, and a neurosensory organism as its head or skin sensor.

The cells throughout the armor are connected via neural pathways, or simply amplified and transmitted using ultra-clear consciousness waves.

"So, comrade, the task ahead is arduous and far-reaching," Wu You encouraged himself in his heart.

This will be his main target recently.

Of course, if the research process is time-consuming, you should also take the time to cultivate and upgrade your own silver creatures in order to avoid being caught off guard by the aberrant creatures.
