Chapter 109 Electronic Energy Draining Tower
Yang Heli finally realized that this achievement...might really be something!
His expression became serious and he quickly sat down and began to read the document carefully.
"Oh my goodness... this idea is absolutely amazing..."
Is the energy consumption too high? Why don't I just store energy in advance?
After solving the energy consumption problem, the advantages of the Mechanical Department were fully utilized. Moreover, with the effects of the abilities improved by Cang, the already very strong advantages of the Mechanical Department became even stronger!
Low mental stress means that a soul card master can manipulate more mechanical card replacements at the same time, which can better trigger the various protocol attributes of the [Access Value-Added Protocol] and better play the linkage between the various components when combined.
Moreover, the mechanical system originally had low mental consumption. Now that the energy consumption problem has been solved, even soul card masters below level three can use rare mechanical soul cards to better exert the power of grassroots soldiers!
The advantages of the Mechanical Soul Card itself are considerable, but its disadvantages are too serious and contradictory to a certain extent, so it is so unpopular.
Low mental stress means lower summoning requirements, while high soul energy consumption eliminates the possibility of low-level soul card masters using it. This is too abstract.
Now that it has been improved, not only are its advantages stronger, but its original shortcomings have become even greater advantages!
After all, once the soul energy is sufficient, the explosive power of the mechanical system will be terrifying. For the army, what is most needed is something that can quickly achieve tactical goals in a short period of time!
"Genius!" Yang Heli slapped his thigh excitedly.
This mechanical soul card is definitely more suitable for the army than the Yingcao deck!
Most of the grassroots sergeants in the army are not talented, and their soul card master level has basically reached the upper limit. For them, even in daily training, the proportion of meditation is very low. Now is the perfect time to charge the armed weapons and vehicles!
A tank with a full capacity of 20,000 rounds of ammunition... My goodness, if such a thing appeared on the battlefield, I'm afraid that only a tactical team would be needed to easily complete most offensive missions...
Yang Heli turned to the end and saw Yu Cang wrote here:
The above are all the Mechanical Soul Cards currently available. There are still many related Soul Cards that are being refined, and we estimate that they will be completed within two weeks. If we can find a larger test site, perhaps we can advance the time.
Yang Heli's eyes were a little dazed.
besides……?
To be honest, Yang Heli was already surprised by what Yu Cang had brought out. He didn't even need to look at the experimental data. He could come up with countless tactical combinations just by thinking about it in his mind. It would be easy for him to shine in the major armament reform.
The competition system for the major armament reform consists of six actual combat exercises, among which the required items are individual cross-country, squad combat and group military exercises. These three items determine the basic score of an achievement.
Next, there are seven optional events: armed infiltration, mobile assault, continuous frontal battlefield operations, tactical support, high-risk target elimination, fire coverage, and fixed-point assault. Participants need to choose three of these optional events to attempt, and scores are based on the results.
Finally, the scores of these six items plus the judges' scores constitute your overall score.
In Yang Heli's opinion, as far as the current Department of Mechanical Engineering is concerned, except for a few projects that may be a little weak, other projects can be completed very well. If you are lucky, you can even get full marks in the three required projects!
Yang Heli was already surprised that Yu Cang could come up with such an answer in such a short time, but he didn't expect that Yu Cang's ideas had not yet run out?
Isn’t it just a bigger testing ground? Of course!
Yang Heli immediately picked up his personal terminal and called Lei Wanqing.
Not long after, the call was connected.
"It's Lao Yang...what's going on?"
"Of course there's something!" Yang Heli was a little excited. "It's about the major armament upgrade I told you about last time... Old squad leader, do you have any vacant space? Can you lend it to Yu Cang?"
"Oh... It's the Yingcao set, right?" Lei Wanqing recalled. "Come to think of it, it's almost time. We need the venue to train the participating teams, right?... It's not easy to get people into the military area, so let's forget about it for now. I'm already organizing the participating teams to familiarize themselves with the Yingcao set. As for Yu Cang, we can just have him come directly on the day of the competition."
Each military region has several quotas to participate in the major armament reform every year. For Lei Wanqing, this is also something that can make him gain face in front of other military regions, so he also attaches great importance to it.
The teams participating in the competition were all provided by his own military region, so he had already started relevant training early on, striving to cultivate a team that was proficient in the use of the Yingcao set in preparation for the major armament overhaul.
"Yingcao set? No, no, no, old squad leader, the version has been updated, times have changed!" Yang Heli smiled confidently and sent Yu Cang's document over, "Take a look at this."
"Hmm?" Lei Wanqing looked at the file that was suddenly sent to his computer and raised his eyebrows. "Update? What do you mean?"
It can't be that Yu Cang has made a new competition deck in just a few days.
That's outrageous.
Thinking of this, Lei Wanqing opened the document, and the first line of words he saw made him frown slightly.
Department of Mechanical Engineering? Are there still people studying Mechanical Engineering now?
Nonsense.
Lei Wanqing was just about to express his opinion, but suddenly, he thought of the situation when he watched Yingcaotao a few days ago, so he decided to watch it first.
It’s not too late to criticize after reading it.
Lei Wanqing casually scrolled through the progress bar, but as he flipped through the pages, his originally nonchalant expression gradually became serious.
After turning to the end, he turned back and read the previous part again.
this……
Lei Wanqing took a breath of cold air.
Fortunately, fortunately I didn’t rush to comment just now.
Otherwise, history will repeat itself!
After reading it, his tone was a little complicated: "Old Yang...you are not going to tell me that this is something Yu Cang made in the past few days..."
"Yeah, how did you know?" Yang Heli said with a smile, "Our Xiao Cang felt that the Yingcao set was not stable, so he made a new one... Oh, it's just average. Xiao Cang himself is not very satisfied with it and is thinking about improving it... Oh, by the way, do you have any knowledgeable card makers over there who can give you some suggestions?"
"...Old Yang, how come you become so mean when you get old?"
"No way?"
"Forget it, I won't talk to you." Lei Wanqing rolled his eyes. "Alright... I understand your request. If it's this deck, testing it in school will indeed be a bit restrictive... How about this, let Yu Cang stay in our military camp for a few days, and I can get the soldiers to cooperate with him."
"Okay, I've been waiting for you to say that."
"If nothing else, I'll hang up first."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Heli stretched comfortably.
There are not many opportunities to be naughty in front of the old squad leader.
but.
Looking back, Yang Heli was a little confused by Yu Cang's devilish speed.
How come this...is different from the card makers I've met before?
Although Xiao Cang is a genius, the card makers he has come into contact with are not bad either... The gap can't be that big.
Old Yang respects intellectuals the most and believes that card making is a brain-intensive job, so it is normal to be slow.
But compared to Xiao Cang...you guys are not really being lazy and letting yourself down, right?
…
at the same time.
Yu Cang was already on his way back to his card-making house.
Because he had to take care of Qi'er, he couldn't stay in the laboratory all the time like before, but fortunately, a lot of work could still be done in the card making room.
So, he took a stack of blank soul cards from the laboratory and left leisurely... Anyway, these materials were also used for experiments, so it didn't count as embezzlement!
On the way, he bought some vegetables at the small supermarket in the school. Today, it was time to make something other than noodles.
As your first meal other than noodles, let’s choose… shredded potatoes.
A classic side dish that won't be too serious even if it fails.
The tutorial has been downloaded to your personal terminal, and you can start working on it as soon as you get home.
At this time.
A soul card suddenly flipped open at his side, Ye Lai flew out of it, and landed on Yu Cang's shoulder.
"Master of this body, I am back... Sorry, I seem to have overslept."
"It's okay... Welcome back, Ye Lai." Yu Cang smiled, but then his eyes showed some worry, "Ye Lai, was the summoning from the higher level very damaging to you... It actually took you a whole day to recover."
"Not really... Aside from a bit of fatigue, this battle didn't leave any effects on me." Ye Lai raised his head. "It's just that the space outside of Chaos is quiet and monotonous. When you're not paying attention, you often lose track of time."
"Is that so? That's good." Yu Cang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother!" Qi'er said suddenly, "I want to meet Ye Lai."
She recognized that this was the dragon that saved her yesterday.
"Okay." Yu Cang agreed naturally, but then he felt a little embarrassed, "Uh... Ye Lai, what should I let Qi'er call you?"
"As you wish." Ye Lai lowered his head and gave Qi'er a kind smile. "Hello, kind young son. It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Hello!" Qi'er seemed very happy.
On the side, Yu Cang was brainstorming frantically.
Speaking of age... I don’t know how old he is at night. What should I call him... Grandpa?
That's so weird!
But according to Ye Lai's age in this world... He's not even a year old, so I can't call him my younger brother...
As for the others, Mr. Ye Lai? So strange, so alien.
It's a headache.
Yu Cang turned his head to look at Ye Lai, sighed, and said simply: "Forget it, Ye Lai, let Qi'er call you brother too... Is that okay?"
"certainly."
"Okay!" Qi'er was very happy and stretched out her hand to Ye Lai, "Brother Ye, can I hug you?"
Seeing this, Yu Cang opened his mouth and was about to persuade Ye Lai to give him face, but he saw that Ye Lai had already agreed happily.
He first turned around and bowed slightly to her, expressing his apology for leaving her, then left her shoulder and flew into the girl's arms.
Qi'er only felt a heaviness in her hand. For her young age, Ye Lai was not light, but the girl held Ye Lai very seriously and did not let him fall to the ground.
The girl looked at Ye Lai in her arms and said, "Brother Ye, thank you for saving me that day."
"No need to thank me—I am honored to have been able to save your innocence."
"hey-hey……"
The girl carefully carried the equally young Ye Lai in her arms as she walked into the sunset. Yu Cang couldn't help but smile as he watched this scene.
I was worried that Ye Lai would refuse. After all, Ye Lai said that he would only agree to be touched by his comrades... Well, putting everything else aside, Ye Lai is also a kind dragon.
After returning home, Yu Cang quickly served the shredded potatoes. This dish was very simple and there was no possibility of failure.
As expected, Qi'er liked it very much and ate until his belly was full.
After sending Qi'er to bed, Yu Cang came to his workshop.
Tonight, draw a few more soul cards.
After opening his personal terminal, Yang Heli had already sent him the specific schedule and the competition system for the armament overhaul. So, the next step was to create soul cards in a targeted manner.
At this moment, Yu Cang suddenly thought of something and switched to Shen Zheng's conversation interface.
Sure enough, it still showed that he was out of service area and the message was not replied.
I used to think he was going on an adventure somewhere... but now it seems he ran away.
You are quite well-informed.
Shaking his head, Yu Cang threw down his personal terminal and opened the entry library.
First, Yu Cang set his sights on the [Energy Drain].
This entry has something to it at first glance!
You know, although Yu Cang has now solved the ammunition problem of firearm soul cards, the energy problem of soul cards like gear robots and skeleton mechanical dogs has not yet been solved.
Ammunition cannot drive these mechanical actions. When equipping the gear robots, Yu Cang still has to spend his own soul energy to support their actions.
He also needs something like a battery.
but……
Yu Cang was a little hesitant.
This [Energy Drain] is actually an epic-level item... Even if I successfully implant it, I'm afraid I won't be able to use it in the major armament upgrade.
The soul cards supplied to the army are mainly rare and common.
"...Never mind, let's make it first and see." Yu Cang took out an epic blank soul card, "The probability of direct implantation is 24%... That's a bit low. If it fails, we'll have to wait six hours, so it's better to be safe."
At the epic level, the probability of embedding a blank soul card in a word entry is no longer 100%. This is normal. After all, if drawn normally, some high-quality epics can no longer be made with only blank soul cards, but require some additional materials.
"Let me see what entry I should add..." Yu Cang's eyes darted around.
[Energy Storage]? Okay, it seems like a good match, the success rate has increased a bit... [Mechanical]? Oh well, it's dropped a lot, forget it.
Yu Cang screened for a long time, but no matter how he chose, the success rate did not exceed 30%.
"How about giving it a try first?" Yu Cang thought for a moment and was about to take a gamble when he suddenly noticed a soul card placed next to the table.
Yu Cang was stunned.
Why is the probability of this soul card being implanted with [Energy Drain] so high... 69%?
Yu Cang picked up this soul card, which was the stone for the palace examination!
This is an ordinary ordinary card. The only special thing about it is that no matter what level of soul card master uses it, all current soul energy must be used up at once before it can be summoned.
"The probability of an ordinary card being implanted with an epic is so high... Let's try it first."
After searching for a while, Yu Cang found a combination with the highest implant success rate:
[Energy Absorption] + [Energy Storage] + [Electrons] + [Diffusion]!
Yes, it seems to be related to the mechanics department... It's a pity that the [mechanical] entry cannot be added. Once it is added, the success rate will drop by dozens.
The success rate was 82%, but to be on the safe side, Yu Cang went to the bathroom to wash his hands before returning to the room and taking a deep breath.
"Come on, middle!"
A flash of white light passed by, and it worked!
Yu Cang's face lit up with joy, and he quickly picked up the brand new soul card:
Soul Card Name: Electronic Energy Draining Tower
Category: Summon Card
Quality: Epic
Attribute: Thunder
Race: Creature
ability:
[Accumulation]: When this Soul Card is summoned, the user must consume all of their current Soul Energy. After summoning, the user cannot activate other Soul Cards or recover Soul Energy on their own. Within a large radius, the user can forcibly absorb energy from units with higher mental pressure than themselves and convert it into Soul Energy; they can also choose to transfer Soul Energy to units with lower mental pressure.
[Energy Storage]: If this Soul Card has any remaining Soul Energy when it is unsummoned, it can be stored. This stored Soul Energy can be used by any target and slowly fed into the Soul Energy Well even when the Soul Card is not activated. The higher the Soul Energy stored in this Soul Card, the greater the Mental Pressure incurred when using it. This effect does not exceed the Soul Card Master's maximum Mental Pressure.
[Electronic Pulse Explosion]: The Electronic Energy Draining Tower can release the soul energy in it through electronic pulses. When it is destroyed and enters the death cooling state, all the soul energy in it will be converted into electronic pulses and released simultaneously.
Yu Cang was stunned.
It seems... he didn't get the ability he wanted.
He originally wanted to create something similar to a soul energy battery that could replenish energy for the mechanical soul card, but now it seems a little different.
I have built a defense tower...
However, it seems to work! And it works very well!
Judging from the effect of the ability, the normal way to play this soul card should be to use the release of electronic pulses to adjust your own mental pressure so that the mental pressure is always lower than that of the enemy. In this way, you can always use the enemy's soul energy to attack the enemy.
It can be said that this effect is very strong. After all, when a Soul Card Master is under high mental pressure, the recovery speed of soul energy is slow, and you are secretly absorbing it...
It's like a minotaur in front of you!
However, its weakness is also obvious: once this Soul Card is activated, other Soul Cards cannot be used. If the electronic pulse it releases cannot suppress the enemy, then they will be quickly eliminated. Furthermore, in theory, as long as the enemy continues to use common or rare Soul Cards, their mental pressure should not exceed that of the Electronic Energy Drain Tower.
The race of the Electronic Energy Draining Tower is a creation, and its characteristics are similar to those of the mechanical race. Their mental stress is very low, but no matter how low it is, its epic quality is there, and its basic mental stress is very high, not to mention that its abilities will provide additional mental stress.
In addition, the creature race is not susceptible to most mental controls. For example, Nong Weiran’s fear has no effect on the creature.
To sum up, this Soul Card is very powerful and deserves its epic title, but another way to play is equally powerful - that is to accumulate a large amount of Soul Energy in it in advance, and then use the ability of [Accumulation] to transfer Soul Energy to teammates during battle!
In this way, the soul card master who uses the electronic energy-absorbing tower becomes a kind of "power station". As long as enough soul energy is accumulated in advance, it can continuously provide soul energy to teammates, allowing teammates to fight happily!
Operating machinery and so on naturally means sprinkling water.
This ability is not even limited to the mechanical department, other soul card masters can also enjoy it.
Moreover, the basic mental pressure of the epic soul card is here. In the battle of soul card masters below level five, as long as this card is summoned, it can almost be guaranteed that the mental pressure will steadily exceed that of one's teammates, achieving the conditions for continuous transmission of soul energy.
Furthermore, judging by the description, this card can affect a “very large range” and is definitely a soul card suitable for war!
Yu Cang raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
This card is like a magic weapon when placed in the army!
He suddenly became excited. Now that the wild beast crisis was imminent and the Desolate Sect was ready to make a move, he never had too many of these soul cards that could greatly enhance the strength of the military.
Yu Cang quickly changed the entries in the equipment system, gained resonance with the thunder attribute, picked up the developing potion and started to study.
However, at this moment, Ye Lai suddenly blocked his sight.
"Eh? Ye Lai...what's going on?"
"...Master of this body, it's time for you to rest." Ye Lai's big eyes stared straight at Yu Cang.
"Uh..." Yu Cang looked away with a guilty conscience, "Well, I'm not tired yet..."
"I heard that you didn't sleep last night."
"Haha, ha... okay." Yu Cang was defeated.
In fact, he was really sleepy, but when he saw the Electronic Energy Draining Tower, he became alert on the spot.
However... if I start studying from the beginning, it will probably take another whole night... It is not good to stay up all night for two consecutive nights, so I should go to bed first.
Thinking of this, Yu Cang vented his anger by patting Ye Lai's little head fiercely, then turned and left.
Behind him, Ye Lai looked at Yu Cang's back, his serious expression relaxed a little, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
…
the next day.
Yu Cang got up early and tiptoed to the next room to take a look.
Very good, the chess game hasn’t started yet…don’t rush to cook.
"At night, Qi'er wakes up and calls me. I'll go to the workshop first!"
"As you wish."
Yu Cang immediately grabbed the electronic energy-absorbing tower and hurried away.
Although this soul card is very powerful, it still has many problems.
For example, if this card is epic, it would be difficult for a level 3 or 4 Soul Card Master to summon it in a normal battle.
If this problem is not solved, this soul card is destined to not be promoted in the military.
Yu Cang’s solution to this problem is naturally synchronized summoning!
However, now, the synchronization has not been perfected, and the specific method of dropping stars has not been summarized, so Yu Cang can only use the stupid method of implanting the [Normal] entry... But implanting the entry will directly change this soul card, so he must first learn it, and after he can do it manually, he can consider implanting the entry.
Epic soul cards are not easy to learn. Even if you have the blessing of entries, it will take at least half a day.
I'm going to the military area with Teacher Yang tomorrow... Suddenly, time is running out!
I'm not feeling well today, I only have 6,000 left... I'll pay back what I owe tomorrow.
Thanks to Ye Ling, book friend 20220701210007899, and Hungry Clown for their rewards!
