Chapter 1306: Monkey and gun (1/2)
Su Changfa smiled: ”The role of the war base is not as big as it seems at first glance. Don't be frightened by our super high efficiency.”
”Since you are a craftsman, you should understand that there is no turning stone into gold in the world. The war base is only highly automated. Everything else is the same as an ordinary magic refining factory, which requires a lot of water and air. , Psychic energy, raw ore... a wide variety of resources.”
”Only in places like Pangu civilization ruins where there are treasures everywhere, can it operate with such a high efficiency and instantly refine a large number of psionic puppets; if we land on an ordinary planet with poor resources, we often have to continue to hibernate for more than a dozen or two decades. It will take ten years to wait for it to gather the smallest troops and start exploring!”
”That's not a problem.”
Li Yao said with piercing eyes, ”Senior Su only needs to tell us how to operate it, and then talk about how to disassemble and repair it.”
Su Changfa pondered for a moment, and said: ”I can tell you slowly about the operation method of the war base, but if you disassemble and repair it, then I am very sorry, because there are a large number of magic weapons units, even I don't know how to disassemble and repair them. Needless to say, figure out its principle and imitate it.”
Li Yaoqi said, ”Senior Su, as the captain of the'Qingyang', doesn't know it well?”
Su Changfa smiled bitterly: ”Li Daoyou knows something. Whether war bases or giant soldiers are the strategic magic weapons of the true human empire, the biggest feature of this magic weapon is the use of a large number of Xinghai Empire era, ancient repair era, and even the ancient times. The talisman array and magic weapon unit of the times.”
”These ancient magic weapons were discovered by us from various relics, and after thousands of tests, we can determine its performance, function, power and operation method!”
”For us, these magic weapon units are in a'black box state'!”
”Can you understand what is called the'black box state'? That is to say, we know what result can be output by inputting a command into this magic weapon unit, we know this!”
”However, we are at a loss as to how the order turns into a result, and the process and principles involved!”
”Even if this'black box' is taken apart, we can't figure out what happened inside, and once it's taken apart, we can't put it together anymore, wasting a precious ancient magic weapon unit for nothing!”
”Therefore, even if you get a war base, it is difficult to imitate the second and third, because even in the real human empire, such a'national weapon' is handmade and cannot be mass-produced and consumed. One will be one less!”
Li Yao was dumbfounded: ”How could this be?”
”In our true human empire, we like to use a ”monkey and gun” story to explain this phenomenon.”
Su Changfa spoke eloquently, ”Assuming that human civilization has been extinct for tens of thousands of years, and the apes have occupied the entire world. At this time, a particularly clever monkey accidentally discovered a vector that was buried deep in the ground and could still be used. Burst the gun.”
”Because this monkey is very smart, or it is very lucky, it may pull the trigger by chance and shoot a psionic bomb, when this psionic bomb will stop a towering tree. When interrupted, it can understand the use of firearms.”
”Pulling the trigger is something a monkey can learn, Fellow Daoist Li, are you right?”
Li Yao thought for a moment and nodded.
”It's not difficult to pull the trigger. If this monkey is really very smart, maybe it can go a step further, learn to use the scope, learn to shoot accurately, and dominate its forest!”
Su Changfa continued, ”But it's one thing to learn to pull the trigger, it's one thing to be a sharpshooter, it's another thing to disassemble the firearm to imitate it, right?”
Li Yao said: ”Yes, even if this monkey really becomes a sharpshooter and is smart enough to take apart the firearms and figure out all the magic components, it will never be imitated, because it lacks from metal smelting to spar finishing. The entire magic weapon refining system included!”
”To build such a system from scratch, it will take at least thousands or even tens of thousands of years!”
”Li Daoyou is really good at one point.”
Su Changfa praised half truthfully, ”Assuming that the monkeys have really built a system from metal smelting to spar finishing in thousands of years, and they can imitate magical components without fail, and piece them together. Together, they formed the second firearm. At this distance, they thoroughly understood the concept of ”psionic power”, the principle of excitation of the arrow-burst gun, and so on. There is also a long way to go. It can only be said that ”knowing it but not knowing why” ,Agree?”
Li Yao nodded, this is self-evident.
Don't talk about monkeys. When he was a teenager, he became a magic weapon repair master, but he was just painting a gourd in the same way.
Even if he can fix a crystal brain, it does not mean that he understands all the principles of the crystal brain.
”Now, thinking of us as monkeys and Pangu tribe as us, Fellow Daoist Li should understand where we are in our exploration of the prehistoric treasure.”
Su Changfa said, ”Yes, many of our masters can master the giant soldiers, and even like Li Daoyou, control the giant soldiers to kill the Pangu tribe!”
”But it's like a monkey pulling the trigger to kill a person. Although it can't be said to be a coincidence, it doesn't make much sense.”
