Chapter 269 Steam Engine

Looking at the magical armor in front of him, Wang Xiaoming felt a little disappointed. This thing was good, but it was not what he wanted.

Only when he is promoted to a higher level will he be able to forge a supernatural mecha.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaoming took the initiative to sense the digestion of the potion in his body. After these days of non-stop gold refining, the digestion rate of the alchemist's potion has been increasing.

"The potion has been digested to more than 60%, and it is not far from the next level."

Although he has been running outside in recent days, his clone has not been idle and has taken over the task of refining gold for him.

“The third sequence after the Alchemist is the Mystic Scholar. I don’t know what abilities I will gain from this sequence. Can it allow me to have the ability to build mechas?” At this time, he was still thinking about the supernatural mechas.

The Mystic is Sequence Three of the Artisan Path. In the original novel, there is very little information about the Mystic, and almost no description. He can no longer get information in advance like before and can only make rough guesses.

Wang Xiaoming thought in his heart without stopping his hands, and put the five pieces of supernatural armor in front of him into the wilderness of knowledge. He was not satisfied with this thing, but if he really put it outside, it would be a magic weapon that everyone would fight for.

After the magical armor was forged, he appraised it and mastered its abilities.

Because he improved two forging methods and forged them according to the method of supernatural mecha, the supernatural armor he forged this time was different from the supernatural weapons he forged before.

There are no more side effects and supernatural erosion from using supernatural weapons before.

And you don't need to do anything, just put on the supernatural armor and you can use the power of the supernatural armor at will. Even if an ordinary person wears it, his strength can rival the most powerful ghost rider in the world.

Temporarily giving up his thoughts on the mystic scholar, Wang Xiaoming focused his thoughts on the present.

"It's time to consider developing the spiritual land!"

He had told Cao Yanhua about the development of the mysterious place a long time ago, and the mysterious place in the underground passage was equivalent to a test product.

At that time, it was because he took the initiative to deal with the strongest evil spirit that the headquarters was able to take over the underground passage smoothly.

Now, more than two months have passed, and the headquarters' exploration of the supernatural place is still stuck in the underground passage. An important reason for this is that the cost outweighs the gain.

Evil ghosts are rampant in the supernatural land. If you want to conquer the supernatural land, you must deal with the large number of evil ghosts therein. However, among the ghost riders nowadays, the strongest can only barely become an alien and reach the level of Sequence Four.

If they rely on themselves to deal with the supernatural place, there will definitely be heavy casualties. If their foundation is shaken and the stability of the outside world is affected, no one in the headquarters can bear this responsibility.

But now it is different. First of all, the contract with evil spirits is promoted and transformed into new ghost riders. In this way, the ability of evil spirits can be used more casually without worrying about the revival of evil spirits. The combat power and endurance will be greatly improved.

Secondly, there is the supernatural armor just now. This kind of supernatural weapon that can be mass-produced is a summary of the supernatural knowledge that Wang Xiaoming has mastered.

Unlike previous supernatural weapons, it not only provides the ghost rider with powerful defense and combat power, but also does not actively consume any energy.

For a ghost rider wearing it, it is almost like driving a heavy tank. Both the attack and defense will be greatly improved. Unless it is an S-level evil ghost, it is almost impossible to hurt the ghost rider through the magical armor.

With the protection of these supernatural armors, the danger of exploring supernatural places can be minimized.

"In addition to the supernatural armor, the nanorobot technology that has been researched these days can also be applied. Using gold to make nanorobots and protective clothing can also provide effective defense against evil spirits." Inspiration burst out in Wang Xiaoming's mind, and ideas bloomed like fireworks. He kept reasoning about the feasibility in his mind.

"Is it possible to design a golden nanorobot that can be driven by supernatural power? In this way, the golden nanorobot will not break down due to lack of energy."

"But what if gold is not affected by supernatural powers?"

Wang Xiaoming fell into deep thought, frowning. Supernatural powers could not affect gold. This was an iron rule that could not be changed.

Moreover, this was proposed in a highly influential paper he published when he first entered the world of the supernatural.

I don’t know how long it had been, but Wang Xiaoming had been staying there motionless. Fortunately, 073 was the one in charge of chores in the laboratory and did not disturb Wang Xiaoming.

If Chen Wei were here, she would have probably gone up to ask about Wang Xiaoming's situation.

"No...I was wrong!"

Suddenly, Wang Xiaoming, who had been silent, stood up, took a deep breath, and then exhaled slowly.

"I should have thought of it long ago. Psychic power cannot affect gold. This is an iron rule. However, psychic power can indirectly affect gold by influencing other powers."

"The storage bag I made earlier is proof of this. I used the distortion of space to store the gold in the bag."

"And there are many examples in the original novel, such as the evil ghost in Huanggang Village trying to smash open the golden box containing parchment, the starving ghost opening the golden coffin, and Wang Xiaoming sending the ghost rider sealed in gold 10,000 meters underground, etc."

"They all indicate that supernatural powers can use physical means such as soil and flesh to affect the state of gold."

"On the other hand, gold cannot actively affect evil spirits, but it can passively affect them. This is why gold can seal evil spirits."

"A golden coffin can imprison evil spirits because gold can block the transmission of supernatural powers. This shielding is passive and is the nature of gold itself."

"Ghosts cannot sense the outside world, so they cannot use their own rules to kill people, except for intelligent ghosts of course."

"That is to say, there will only be a collision of physical rules between the supernatural power and gold, and there will not be any extraordinary phenomena."

Wang Xiaoming had a relieved expression on his face as if he had solved a difficult problem. These principles were not difficult, they were very simple. The difficult part was changing one's own mind.

This requires stepping out of the Lushan Mountain and looking at the problem from a third-party perspective.

"If we can understand the current relationship between gold and supernatural evil spirits, then it is possible to let supernatural powers drive the golden robot. We just need to follow the scientific methods established by modern physical rules to do it."

"Let's start with the simplest one - boiling water. This is the essence of human energy use. We use boiling water to obtain energy."

"Now the gold is the kettle for boiling water, and the spiritual power is the water in the kettle. We just need to let the spiritual power in the kettle expand like boiling water releasing steam, and a simple spiritual version of a steam engine will appear."

"I only have to worry about the sturdiness of the pot and the expansion of the water vapor."
