Chapter 524: The Secret of Xujia Sect (Part 2)
Even though she knew nothing, Tao Zi did not ask any questions, but chose to listen silently.
As the discussion progressed and some people explained things intentionally or unintentionally, she gradually understood.
The Xujia Sect has been trying to replicate the mechas from three thousand years ago - the mechas that can be used by mortals but do not provide much benefit to monks. Unfortunately, they have never succeeded.
It was not until Tao Zi took out the blueprint from the Xiu Zi ruins that the mecha master realized that the reason for the failure was not the lack of the correct blueprint, but because the changes brought about by the alien invasion were not only the thinning of spiritual energy, but also subtle changes in the structure of certain metal materials.
The special materials needed for the mecha are among those changed metals, but the mecha engineers are unable to check which metal and which change actually caused the failure. This also means that even with the blueprints, it is difficult to replicate the mecha from three thousand years ago.
Finally, after discussion, the mecha masters decided to start with the mecha operators, that is, to use special medicine to change the mortal's physique so that it can adapt to the new mecha.
However, that special medicine liquid was not fixed. It was tested over and over again by constantly changing the composition and quantity of the medicine liquid. As for the result of the failed experiment, Tao Zi had just seen it.
Of course, if you are lucky, you may be able to infer the changes brought about by the changes in the structure of metal materials from the successful people, and then improve the mecha so that mortals can use it without having to improve their physical fitness.
During this period, in addition to changing the composition of the medicine, the mecha engineers also tried to continuously improve the mecha.
So far, nearly 6,000 people have died in the experiment, and only three have succeeded. The success of these three people was extremely accidental and cannot be replicated.
The only improvement gained at the cost of so many lives was that the death rate of mortals using mechas dropped from 90 percent to 50 percent.
What shocked Tao Zi was that the so-called use of mecha here did not mean using mecha to fight, but controlling the mecha to make the simplest movements such as waving, and only mortals who could use mecha were qualified to enter the medicine pool to improve their physical fitness.
The matter we are discussing this time is related to the Tiandao Sect.
According to reliable sources, the Tiandao Sect has already learned about the mecha, but has been delayed because of Tao Zi. However, they will launch an attack within three days at the latest.
As Tao Zi listened, a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
The leader of Xujia Sect took out a list of disciples who had to be saved, including Cheng Luo.
A certain cultivator who had never been seen before proposed three escape routes and the destination of the mecha, which even involved the current residence of the Cheng family.
If she had even the slightest bit of disloyalty and leaked the content of today's discussion, no one in the Xujia Sect would survive.
Is this trust in her because she is the reincarnation of the Emperor's daughter? Or is it because she is also the target of the Tiandao Sect?
Or maybe it's both.
But no matter what, before the Tiandao Sect takes action, she will keep herself in the sight of the Xujia Sect to avoid trouble.
After everyone discussed the result, the gentleman said, "Today, I brought Xiao Zi here for another matter."
Someone immediately responded, "Sir, please speak."
"I'm going to give Xiao Zi a copy of the improved blueprints for the mecha."
Tao Zi was stunned for a moment and blurted out, "Sir, no!"
This blueprint is probably more important to Xujiamen than life itself, how can it be given away just like that?
The gentleman waved his hand and said, "Xiao Zi, you stay later."
This means we need to talk privately.
Tao Zi looked at the others, but surprisingly, they didn't care at all. They smiled and said, "Sir, you can make your own decision."
The leader of the Xujia Sect seemed to notice her surprise and said, "Miss Tao, we don't care whether the blueprints are leaked. Sooner or later, the mecha blueprints will appear before the world. We just need to ensure that the blueprints and the materials needed for the mecha don't disappear before then. Besides, we trust you, and even more so, your judgment."
She didn't know what to say and could only remain silent.
After those people left, Cheng Wuchou also retreated outside the study and closed the door.
The gentleman pointed to a place and motioned for Tao Zi to sit down. Then he said, "Xiao Zi, this blueprint is not as valuable as you think. After all, it is still a semi-finished product, and may even be a failure."
She looked at the blueprint pushed over by her husband and said, "But after all, Xu Jiamen paid a huge price for this."
A rare look of melancholy and some inexplicable emotions appeared on the gentleman's face. He said, "It's not us who have to pay the price."
Tao Zi's lips moved again and again, and finally she couldn't help but said, "Sir, those people?"
"They are all extremely vicious people, and many of them are demonic cultivators whose cultivation has been abolished."
For some reason, Tao Zi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the teacher suddenly said: "But who can tell whether those people have been wronged, especially when test subjects are urgently needed."
She remained silent, but in fact, both of them knew it well, it couldn't be impossible.
What the superiors like, the subordinates will like even more.
There is a reason for the Asahi Kamon's style.
If she had hated Asahi Kamon in the past, she would have made sarcastic remarks, but now she couldn't open her mouth.
She always has two sets of standards for her own people and outsiders, and cannot treat them equally.
In the end, she could only say, "Sir doesn't want this to happen."
The gentleman smiled helplessly and said, "Actually, I am no different from Lian Qingzhou. If the Emperor's daughter were still alive..."
"Sir, there's no need to say that." Tao Zi interrupted him directly, "No one in this world is always innocent. Let's not even talk about my time as Yue Qiran. Even after leaving Minglan Sect, I did the plague thing."
The gentleman sighed deeply. "It was wrong, but if I had to do it all over again, I would still make the same choice. Well, let's not talk about it anymore."
Tao Zi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Zi, do you know why I gave you the blueprint?"
Faced with this sudden topic, she thought for a moment and said, "Please speak frankly, sir."
"You and mecha are destined to be together."
Tao Zi was stunned for a long time, then suddenly realized that Yu Niang was a disciple of Shao Hua Jushi, and was good at making medicine, and Xing Zhan and the others were physical cultivators...
"No." She said subconsciously, "Sir, I can't let Xing Zhan and the others take such a risk."
The gentleman smiled gently and nodded: "I know."
Tao Zi took a deep breath and said, "Sir, why is this?"
"Xiao Zi, remember, many things can't be solved by avoiding them. Instead of waiting for fate to come, it's better to take the initiative. It won't be a bad thing for you to get an extra copy of the blueprint, and..."
The gentleman paused and continued, "Xiao Zi, you can't protect them forever. They will eventually need strength, the power to fight alongside you. They can't hide forever."
"Xiao Zi, mechas are their best choice. Perhaps you should give them the right to choose."
