"So that's how it's structured internally... The material is mostly gold, but what are these strange energies and substances...?"
Lin Xu was holding the sphere in his hand at that moment. He crushed the sphere's cover with two fingers, reaching inside and touching the chibi-style sculpture inside.
He is using his golden powers to sense the composition of the sculpture.
With his perception, he had a general grasp of the sculpture's internal structure.
It does indeed contain some ingenious and strange mechanical parts and organs, which create some amazing functions.
If it weren't for his golden superpower, Lin Xu wouldn't have been able to detect anything unusual about it.
However, even with his golden superpower, Lin Xu still couldn't accurately analyze some of the substances inside the sculpture.
It was a special form of gold.
Unlike ordinary gold, this gold is liquid at normal temperatures and contains a strange energy.
Although Lin Xu did not understand the underlying principles, he could deduce that the Golden Warriors' ability to move on their own, as well as their self-healing and remote manipulation of limbs, all stemmed from this liquid gold.
If he could replicate this liquid, he could create golden golems as he wished, and even customize their style and function, possessing a self-propelled golem weapon.
However, although Lin Xu's mechanical abilities are now extremely advanced, he is unable to analyze and study the structure of this gold.
He tried many methods but still couldn't figure out how to make this kind of liquid gold.
After trying for a while and repelling the soldier puppets' attempts to restore their limbs several times, Lin Xu still failed to comprehend the structure of liquid gold.
He realized at that moment that with his current golden powers, he probably wouldn't be able to replicate this type of gold.
But on second thought, Lin Xu didn't feel it was a pity.
Although his special ability couldn't forcibly analyze the gold, the ruins before him were clearly related to gold.
Perhaps by clearing this ruin, we can acquire the relevant technology and then create similar puppets.
With this in mind, Lin Xu was no longer in a hurry to forcibly unravel the secret of the golden soldier.
He looked at the shattered puppet at his feet.
According to the general strategy for navigating the Wilderness Ruins, if he doesn't kill this monster, he shouldn't be able to trigger the Ruins' switch and thus won't be able to go deeper into the Ruins.
Therefore, Lin Xu decided to eliminate the golden soldier in his hands.
If Lin Xu relied solely on brute force, he could indeed manage to shatter the core of this golden soldier.
If the core is destroyed, this armored unit will surely die.
However, Lin Xu tried twice and deformed the sculpture inside the core, but then the core changed shape, first becoming liquid, then solidifying and reshaping, and surprisingly returned to its original state.
Lin Xu looked at the stubborn sculpture and was amazed by its sturdiness.
According to his estimate, to forcibly destroy the sculpture inside the core, at least heavy machine guns would be needed, and dozens of bombings would be required to completely destroy the sculpture.
Enemies of this caliber can only be eliminated by the firepower of a noble island lord; ordinary commoner elves cannot do so.
Although Lin Xu can now summon Xiao Yu and the others to bring the island over, and can also crush the sculpture with his physical strength, it is still too much effort for him to do so.
As he looked at the golden sculpture, another thought came to mind.
If he uses his gold powers, can he counter this liquid gold?
Once the idea popped into his head, Lin Xu didn't hesitate any longer. A hair on the back of his hand suddenly turned golden and shot out like a steel needle, hitting the head of the chibi sculpture squarely.
This move is Lin Xu's golden superpower.
With its power, this move is comparable to a heavy sniper rifle, but it's still a bit inferior to a heavy machine gun.
However, Lin Xu's purpose was not to destroy the sculpture by relying on the piercing force of the golden hair.
At that moment, he stared at the sculpture's head, and the next instant, he noticed that the sculpture's head, which was in a semi-liquid, semi-solid state, was rapidly changing and had completely turned into ordinary solid gold.
A snap.
The sculpture, whose face was half-turned into ordinary gold, could no longer sustain itself and began to crack.
The golden soldier then gathered his limbs together again, trying to restore his body and launch a counterattack against Lin Xu.
This time, Lin Xu did not disassemble the soldier again, but took a few steps back and let the golden soldier restore its body.
However, the recovered soldier, carrying a giant sword, hopped on one leg, then wobbled and fell to the side, attempting to strike Lin Xu, but the giant sword missed its mark.
The golden soldier's body began to rapidly disintegrate, turning into pieces of ordinary gold.
Then, just like those ordinary dark creatures, the golden soldier's body began to gradually turn into mist and disappear.
Lin Xu nodded in satisfaction as he observed the changes in the golden soldiers.
The move he just used was the ability to transform his golden fur.
Items hit by his golden hair will undergo a qualitative change, directly turning into solid gold.
It now appears that this goldification can directly destroy the structure of an object. For example, a sculpture that could be replaced with liquid gold would have its shape altered and be destroyed.
This move is the nemesis of precision instruments. As long as they are hit by Lin Xu's golden hair, these precision instruments will undergo a qualitative change in their material and immediately collapse.
Lin Xu watched as the corpse of the golden soldier gradually disappeared, and then he saw an object fall from the spot, which was a long, narrow gold ingot.
He reached out and picked up the gold ingot, only to find that it wasn't the magical liquid gold, and was slightly disappointed.
But after using his golden ability to sense the gold ingot, Lin Xu raised an eyebrow again.
"This is……"
This gold ingot is high-purity gold. Although it is not as good as the gold produced by Golden Rose, it is still considered to be of very high purity.
However, this gold is made of a slightly special material, much harder than ordinary gold.
The texture, however, is very similar to the gold that Wang En had lost.
Lin Xu couldn't help but have many thoughts.
It was already somewhat strange that Wang En and his group had collected two tons of gold.
Moreover, they even prepared seeds of a golden plant in an attempt to produce more gold.
There was something fishy about this from the start.
Now, as Lin Xu looked at the gold ingot, some guesses began to form in his mind.
Perhaps the gold that Wang En and his group collected was also obtained from similar gold relics.
They wanted to collect the gold because of some treasure in the ruins?
Thinking of this, Lin Xu recalled the knowledge he had learned in the course.
The ruins in the island world are generally unique, and there are very few interconnected ruins.
The black goat remains left by Wang En are already very rare, interconnected remains, and are extremely difficult for ordinary people to see.
However, if the golden ruins are also interconnected ruins, and the same series of golden ruins will appear in different places during this beginner's trial, then the secrets hidden within are quite significant.
If you manage to decipher this relic, the reward you receive will certainly be quite substantial.
Perhaps Wang En and his ilk valued gold so much for a similar purpose?
