Chapter 290 Machine Soul and Sea God
The conscienceless cannons in history were easy to manufacture and transport. All they had to do was bury an oil barrel in the ground. But their disadvantage was low reliability - first, they could not be aimed accurately and could only roughly determine the direction they would fly. Second, they were prone to exploding.
Although there are partitions between the gunpowder and explosive packs used for launching, accidents are still very easy to happen, and overall it can only be said to be barely usable.
The reliability of the rifle developed by the Fire Moth has been improved, and its accuracy and range have been greatly enhanced, and it even has rifling, but its weight and size have basically made it useless on the battlefield.
A muddy field prevented the artillery from being transported to the Waterloo battlefield. Even ten horses could not pull such a large artillery piece to the battlefield.
Well, maybe the Banshees could try to move it, but the Skitarii definitely couldn't.
After much thought, Hughes concluded that the only scenario in which it could be used was as a naval gun. After the battleships were built, he could try to equip a batch of them.
It might be useful for permanent fortifications, but no force seems to be interested in invading Castel at the moment. In short, the application scenario of this thing is too narrow, and its practicality can be basically ignored. It is better to use gasoline barrels to make a few fundamentalist and unscrupulous cannons. At least this thing can really be used on the battlefield.
"The feasibility of this direction is really low. We still have to find a way to study the previous direction." Seeing Richard's slightly embarrassed expression, Hughes sighed and said, "We can try to combine it with the extraordinary, such as summoning a machine spirit in the artillery."
Summoning a machine spirit from the cannon is indeed a good idea, but it's a pity that Monica is still unconscious.
But the situation is said to be optimistic. It is said that she will wake up soon. Thinking of this, Hughes looked up at Richard and said, "I remember you were the one who checked Monica. How is her condition?"
This is a perfect match for his profession. Richard was a doctor when he was still a mortal, and he also studied medicine-related fields after joining the Fire Moth.
Richard's complexion finally looked much better. After he took over the research, he encountered obstacles everywhere. Only then did he realize how capable the previous chief Chloe was. The research projects she led also encountered technological locks, but she always managed to get around them with some creative ideas.
"Yes, my lord. Monica's condition is recovering quickly. Her soul was damaged after she ignited the furnace, which caused her coma. Under those miraculous connections, this damage recovered very quickly."
The soul was damaged? This should be caused by the soul of Poseidon being separated from her body. Hughes still remembered that when the furnace was lit, something in Monica's body became one with the furnace.
It was because of this separation that she returned to her short form.
As for the wonderful connection that Richard mentioned, it should be the symbiotic contract.
With the symbiotic contract in place, although Monica was injured, she is recovering quickly. Perhaps the injury to the soul will take longer to heal?
"When will she wake up?"
"In fact, we can wake her up now, but I suggest that we maintain the status quo for now. She has been working hard for a long time recently, so it can be considered a kind of recuperation."
Xius nodded. Monica was the core of this incident, and it was indeed time for her to take a break.
"As for the machine soul you mentioned, I think it is indeed feasible, but..."
"Just what?"
"It seems that you and Monica are the only ones who can communicate with the machine spirit."
Zeus can communicate with the machine souls. Those souls in the steel naturally feel close to him. Even if he does nothing and does not try to please them in any way, the machine souls are willing to carry out his orders.
However, Monica seemed to be somewhat disliked by the machine soul, and Xius could clearly feel this before.
But even if it was hate, it was still a response, and no one else except the two of them could even get a response.
Thinking about it this way, even if the cannon was really built, I'm afraid only Zeus could use it. Monica might be able to do it by studying ways to please the machine spirit, but others who didn't get a response wouldn't be able to use it.
This is indeed a big trouble.
etc!
Xiu Si suddenly remembered that Monica was able to summon the machine soul after she obtained the soul fragment of Poseidon.
No one except Monica can summon the machine soul. The machine soul only responds to him and Monica. Xius himself is special. He knows it in his heart, but Monica is also special. This should be related to the soul fragments of Poseidon.
And there was another detail he remembered: when Monica first saw the body of the worker Hughes, she could see the silk thread.
At that time, she explained that this was part of the power of Poseidon. Now think about it, can summoning machine souls also trigger the power of Poseidon? It's not that Monica summoned the machine soul, but the soul of Poseidon summoned the will in the steel - the whole thing suddenly became terrifying when you think about it carefully.
After all, when mentioning Poseidon, one will think of the Poseidon Church and those believers who were transformed into murlocs. Could these machine souls have any connection with the Poseidon believers who have been continuously sacrificing themselves for thousands of years?
Once the ship problem is solved, I must go to Gem Bay to investigate and study how to build there.
The area of Gem Bay is larger than the Dukedom. The Pirate King can even compete with the Empire with it. Once Castel completely occupies it, his strength will surely reach a new level.
After knowing that Monica was not in danger, Xiu Si felt relieved. Besides the cannon and Monica, Xiu Si actually had something else he wanted to ask - the girl with blue hair.
From the first moment he saw her, Xiu Si had a guess: Could this girl also be a [shell]?
What exactly is a body? He called the bodies he could descend into a body, and he wondered if the fire moths thought the same.
"You must have seen that blue-haired girl, right?"
Richard nodded in understanding, "Of course, Ms. Ash sent it here as soon as possible. It is said that it was placed together with the pirates' treasure - it is indeed very precious."
"Oh, so you already know what it is?"
Richard nodded, stretched out his hand to gesture to the side, and walked to the other side of the test site with Hughes.
"How much do you know about [Husk]?"
Here it comes, Zeus' eyes lit up, he came here just to gain knowledge in this area. Richard had told him before that if Chloe wanted to be resurrected, she would need an empty [body].
On the day when the blue-haired girl was brought in, he reached out and touched her for the first time. The response given by the symbiotic contract was indeed "shell".
I don’t know if the definition of this word is the same as that of the Fire Moth. If they are the same, does this mean that Chloe has a chance of resurrection?
"I don't know much. Please tell me from the beginning."
