After a long explanation, the fat man finally understood.
With the appearance of Fengdu City in Ye Chen's territory, the concept of the soul also entered the minds of Fatty and the others.
So Ye Chen talked for a long time about the connection of thoughts, but he still didn't understand. However, when it came to the soul possession, he suddenly understood.
In essence, it's about protecting the operator's body and allowing them to enter the mecha in soul form, giving them a new steel body.
Since it's already your own body, there's naturally no longer any issue of inconvenience in operation.
Of course, this is different from soul possession. Soul possession involves actually taking the soul out and putting it into another container, but what Ye Chen needs to do now is to create a device to capture the messages and instructions sent by the soul.
This method wasn't actually Ye Chen's idea. In the science fiction works he remembered, there already existed such mechs that didn't require the assistance of artificial intelligence; all they needed was for their own physical strength to be strong enough.
This kind of mecha has even appeared in many fantasy novels. To control a powerful mecha, one needs a lot of mental strength, because the mental connection will put a great burden on one's mind. And in China, the spirit is a kind of essence, energy and spirit, which refers to the human soul.
"Brother Chen, I told you you're a genius. Anyone who dares to deny it will face my wrath!" The fat man looked at Ye Chen with admiration. "No one else could come up with such a method."
Putting everything else aside, how can a new lord even come into contact with something like a soul? Even demigod-level lords might not be able to figure it out, okay?
"Alright, alright, I'm not some genius, just a history translator!" Ye Chen said guiltily. He knew this from reading more novels in his previous life, and it wasn't difficult at all.
"I read history books too! How could I not know how to copy? Brother Chen, you're just being modest!" the fat man said irritably, showing his disdain for the other's modesty.
"However, this thing can't be made in a short time. And as you said, the so-called 'thought sense' is actually just mental power. I think we can start directly from the aspect of mental power. Let's find a few familiars with high mental power to try it out!" After giving a disdainful look, the fat man said excitedly. The sudden tension in mecha development caught him off guard.
"Hmm, we can give it a try, but for the initial setup, we should lower the mental strength requirement. After all, everything is difficult at the beginning. It's best if it's the kind of setup that anyone's mental strength can control. We don't need to worry too much about the power!" Ye Chen suggested.
"Okay, I understand. Only mechs that most people can use can become widespread!"
"Yes, but high-end mechs definitely require some training. Those without any combat experience, even if you give them world-destroying power, are just kids wielding a hammer and will only end up shooting themselves in the foot. So there's no need to worry about the excessively high requirements for high-end mechs!"
“You’re right. Once the mecha is actually made, I’ll develop in that direction. I have a feeling that mecha will definitely be a powerful tool for dominating the heavens in the future.”
"That's a must. This is a power independent of magic, battle aura, and other power systems, and the entry requirements are even lower than those power systems!"
"..."
The two chatted excitedly around the mecha for most of the day, while the goblins and dwarves around them grew impatient. Finally, the two reluctantly got off the mecha and headed towards the third-generation goblin armor.
Goblin armor differs from mechs; it is a relatively mature technology. The armor produced is no longer as rudimentary as it once was, but has various unique designs. Even an ugly goblin becomes a majestic space soldier after putting on the armor.
"Not bad, your aesthetic sense has improved this time!" Ye Chen said with a smile, looking at the standard armor that came out.
The goblin armor of the previous two generations could only be described as appalling, but this new armor actually looks quite imposing.
"Hehe! We were limited by our technology before! Practicality came first, and aesthetics had to take a backseat!" the fat man laughed awkwardly. Not to mention Ye Chen, even he himself was disgusted with it.
"What materials were used this time?" Without dwelling on the question too much, Ye Chen asked the fat man.
"Black gold, but not much is used. The main material is still the alloy used in the second-generation mechs. However, after adding black gold, we found that the sturdiness has been greatly improved. In addition, some mithril was also added, which is a key material to improve magic conductivity and is consumed in large quantities!" the fat man replied. He already knew this information by heart. The large consumption of mithril was the culprit that had kept him up at night recently.
"Black gold? It's fine if you don't use much, but this stuff is more valuable than mithril! It's almost as valuable as obsidian!"
"That's true, but this set of goblin armor costs less than a tenth the value of black gold compared to mithril. My territory is almost completely depleted of mithril!" The fat man said with a bitter face. Mithril wasn't a high-yield mineral resource to begin with, and with recent high consumption, his territory was practically empty. "I'll have someone send you some later. Also, although this spatial cave isn't as vast as the trial space, there are still quite a few lords there, and they're always having feasts. You could try exchanging for some!" Ye Chen said after thinking for a moment.
Mithril is indeed a scarce resource for all lords. Even on his planetary territory, the production is not high, and it is definitely not enough to supply the fat man's needs.
"We've already arranged for someone to make the arrangements. How can we miss this banquet?" The fat man nodded, then pointed to the area in the middle of the room and said, "Never mind that, they're about to start using offensive weapons over there!"
Following the direction the fat man pointed, the goblins who had appeared earlier had drawn the laser swords mounted on their armor and were slashing at a huge iron shield not far away. This was the shield the fat man used to test its power; it was forged from a special alloy and required an attack of at least level four to break through.
Just as the laser sword was about to strike the iron shield, a violent jet of air suddenly erupted from the armor's arm, followed by a loud "bang," and the iron shield shattered!
"Wow, that's powerful!" Ye Chen's heart skipped a beat, then he said with amazement.
"Hehe! Don't rush, keep watching!" the fat man laughed smugly.
At this moment, the goblin in the arena had put away his laser sword, and a ring of dark cannon barrels extended from his arm. Then came a deafening roar as a large amount of firepower poured out, blasting towards another iron shield.
"Boom~~~" The ground beneath his feet trembled slightly. Without even seeing the result, Ye Chen knew that this attack had reached the standard expected of a fourth-tier attacker.
Sure enough, when the smoke cleared, the iron shield was shattered into pieces.
"Give me a few of these mechs, I need them in the next few days!" Ye Chen said immediately.
