Chapter 285: 231: [Light-Speed Piercing Steed Spaceship (Red)], Preparing to Create Super Intelligent Life!
The category of miscellaneous props was extensive, but Zi Liyuan prioritized the puppet and mechanical props, as his main goal was to obtain a carrier that could hold "Steel Heart".
As Zi Liyuan meticulously inspected the items, Liu Guozhong stood silently by his side, his large eyes unblinkingly watching every one of Zi Liyuan's moves.
He meticulously noted the order in which Zi Liyuan searched, especially the items on which he paused to take a closer look.
Although he didn't know why Zi Liyuan was looking through the military treasury's items, he made sure to record everything, particularly those that the other party seemed to care about.
As for Liu Guozhong's probing, Zi Liyuan couldn't care less.
If he indeed created a super-intelligent life form, he would definitely engage in deeper cooperation with the official Great Xia Empire.
One should not underestimate the foundation of a super empire, not to mention the relationship between the Great Xia Empire and the four ancient dynasties in the Sea of Realms was not simple.
Based on the super-intelligent life form, if he developed black technology, one could imagine how fast the technology tree would climb.
Zi Liyuan could even envision that if not controlled properly, it might lead to the creation of a Skynet or Ultron that would bring great disaster to the humans of Blue Star.
As for the annihilation depicted in the movies, that was out of the question.
This was a world beyond the ordinary, where forbidden spells could destroy cities and decimate nations, so how could a mere super-intelligent life form control the world?
That was also the reason why Zi Liyuan was determined to create this thing.
If it posed no worries and helped him significantly, why shouldn't he keep it under his own control?
It is known that this world is heavily influenced by the Sea of Realms, with countless races fighting therein, and the race rankings include the Demon Race, Insect Race, Mechanical Race, and Undead Race.
If these races exist, why haven't disasters like the demons, insects, machines, or undead occurred?
Zi Liyuan planned to use the disasters of the undead and machines to transform the entire universe or even to step into the Sea of Realms and walk the path of deities and demons, which would also be extremely difficult.
Could he know more about the disaster of the undead than the native members of the Undead Race?
Therefore, he needed to gather all forces he could to become stronger, to surpass all other races in strength, and only then might he truly reach the peak of this universe.
However, as Zi Liyuan continued to search, a hanging heart grew more and more anxious.
Among the miscellaneous props, almost anything with some combat power had been taken by the military for use, leaving the military warehouse mostly filled with toys!
Furthermore, puppet props were extremely scarce, and the invoked puppets were all useless in combat and even lacked auxiliary abilities.
However, Zi Liyuan's interest was piqued by two puppet props capable of serving as carriers for "Steel Heart".
These two puppet props could summon two elemental puppets, one of pure water and the other of stone.
They were not combat or assistive pure water or stone puppets but production-class puppets.
The pure water elemental was simple, producing a certain amount of pure water every day.
The stone elemental could make stone-brick mixes, which were a sort of building material.
No wonder these two things were abandoned in the warehouse to collect dust—for Blue Star, such materials were easily accessible in large quantities, even in superior quality.
"Colonel Liu, these two puppet props, even in the Sea of Realms, would be considered basic resources, wouldn't they? Why have they been left to gather dust in the warehouse?"
If in doubt, ask. His understanding of the Sea of Realms was limited to some knowledge from textbooks.
"In the Sea of Realms, these things are like tasteless bones. The military, cultivating talent for the Sea of Realms, has better resources and naturally wouldn't care for this stuff."
When you first enter the Sea of Realms, you can carry only so much, so of course, you would want to bring more important resources with you in that limited space.
And once you've developed a bit, the resources produced by these two kinds of puppets become too low-level for a lord of the Sea of Realms, barely better than none.
That's why these two puppet props were left to collect dust in the military's warehouse.
"I see."
Nodding, Zi Liyuan added the two puppet props to his shopping cart and continued his search.
Compared to the puppet props, there were far more mechanical ones, but the most numerous among them were mechanical toys!
Looking at a row of red, legendary quality mechanical toys, Lord Zi's eyes almost blazed with fire.
"All these mechanical toys must have been obtained after raiding monster nests and opening the chests at the heart of those nests, right?"
Thousands of mechanical toys, all of the red, legendary quality, were a total waste!
"Yes, the military usually ends up with a bunch of these after wiping out mechanical-type monster nests. Some people used to study them, trying to discover potential black technology, but just..."
Liu Guozhong shook his head, indicating that nothing significant had been found given that they had all been left in the warehouse to collect dust.
However, upon hearing what the other party said, what was originally an incendiary glare in Lord Zi's eyes instantly turned to a golden hue, a glow resembling coins!
Without betraying any emotion, Lord Zi moved beyond this topic and started to examine the mechanical toys.
The more he looked, the more excited he became, because these mechanical toys hid so much potential black technology that, if fully decoded, could propel Blue Star's technology forward by millennia!
