941 Big Wild Wolf 1 (1/2)

He flipped through it and searched for a while. This thing was rather common in this world, the scientific developments meant that the research about the inner workings of practically anything was frankly shocking. Naturally, this world also had Resonance research, but it was not nearly so advanced as to use Resonance to make algorithms, because physicists now were already researching the even more advanced photonic computers. These used pure light as the main care of the computer's calculations, so compared to quantum computers, these photonic computers functioned on a completely different principle.

Quantum computers had the advantage in solving complicated problems with more variables, as well as in modular computing. By calculating according to quantum modules as the singular unit, it actually also involved some separate principles in Resonance regarding quantum interference. But it was not as advanced as how the Totem World utilized Resonance.

Photonic computers had the advantage in traditional computing basics, as they could greatly increase the computing speed, reduce the usage of energy, and worked at far faster speeds than before. They could compute many operations at the same time, and were very good at correcting mistakes as well. Even if there were some small mistakes in the process, these would not affect the final result. With a higher-level aim in mind, the physicists naturally would not bring their attention back to Resonance research, with its vague future.

Even though Resonance research had many benefits for long distance communication, this long distance communications had long ago been realized through material-energy conversion, so there was even less need for this research. They could convert material directly into energy, and could thus leap across long distances, reaching their destinations directly, before turning back to material. It was far superior to backward technology such as Resonance.

Garen broke out of his thoughts, and carefully picked out an egg-like stone with red fire patterns from a pile of materials. The stone was very small, just about the size of a fingernail, and seemed to be the egg of some insect.

Garen shook the egg slightly, and tapped it onto his fist lightly.

A crack immediately appeared on the stone.

”This is it, the Resonance substitute, the hardened rhizome of a plant.”

Garen was more than just a martial artist, he was also a powerful scientist, and experimenter.

Using Resonance skills to create a core, and controlling multiple cannon fodder creatures at the same time, only he would dare think of something like that, and under these circumstances where they had no high-tech gadgets as well.

”This is not a project I can complete in a couple of days...” Garen put the rhizome aside, and suddenly woke up from his experimenting fever. ”In that case, I can analyze and distinguish the signal coming from the Energy Machine Imprint, then I can reduce it. It should be okay if there is just a small portion of the control signals released, right? Although this will influence the Big Wild Wolf's logical thinking skills, it will also greatly increase the number I can control.”

Garen had once gotten an Energy Machinist, or rather, an ancient Modulation Engineer's training method from the Honorable Noble, it was called Glowing Radiance.

There were some explanations and information about this in that book.

”Reduce the control power on one single unit, spread it up, and do your best to increase the number...”

Garen's will entered his Energy Machine Imprint, and started to analyze the functions and principles behind each signal.

It was as though many tentacles bounced out of the Energy Machine Imprint, and each tentacle was a different color. When the cannon fodder creatures saw each type of tentacle appear, they would perform the corresponding action as though they had received orders. This was a secretive manipulation skill using light to differentiate the functions.

Of course, that was just a simile, the actual process was a lot more complicated than that.

But to Garen as he was now, with the help of the Energy Machine Imprint, his computing skills were already thrice the original value, and his computing skills were already far, far more advanced than regular Energy Machinists. Once they were tripled, that speed was beyond the human imagination.

Within two short hours, Garen had completely analyzed all of the complicated signals, splitting them into many parts. The main control Willpower only used up one-tenth of the Energy Machine Imprint's Control Mod, and most of the remaining controlling aspects were mostly some free, meaningless controls. Stuff like controlling their eating, excreting, sleeping, or even the playing or healing they would have as pets, Garen was totally capable of using the Distorted Seed's innate ability to replace these, and it made them even stronger.

He directly turned off some useless parts, and only maintained the basic main controls, some basic commands such as attack, stop, move freely, rest, and so on. This also saved up on a lot of the Control Mod's operations.

After he used his Willpower to trim the Energy Machine Imprint again, Garen instantly felt his control of the Big Wild Wolf fade considerably.

”Sit!”

Garen barked at the Big Wild Wolf softly.

There was no response. The thing continued to stand there, occasionally sticking out its tongue, looking really dumb as it stared at Garen.

”Rest!”

Garen tried again.

This time, there was a response.

The Big Wild Wolf walked around in a circle and then found a spot that looked very comfortable to lie down, its whole body relaxing, and quickly entering rest mode.

”As I thought, the controls were greatly reduced and lightened. Maybe I can try to control several, in that case.”

Garen brought his gaze back to the BiochEnergy Machine Imprintcal Pool.

Suddenly, there was a slight tremor from outside.

”Something happened again?” Garen gave the Big Wild Wolf an order to follow him, and the man and wolf ran out of the basement, looking at the large gate in the distant wall ahead, where someone seemed to be yelling loudly.

The two people on the right who seemed to be keeping watch over Garen's basement burst into a sprint, running towards the city wall.

”What happened!?” asked Garen, rushing over and grabbing one of them.

That person was first given a shock by the large wolf, and then he raised his gun to shoot it, but Garen immediately pressed his arm down.

”That's my pet! Tell me, quick, what happened?”

”It's the Invisible Predators, they've come in again!” The man could not break free from Garen's arm, and his face turned red. ”Let go of me! I need to save them!” he yelled.

”Do you want to save them, or do you want to die?” said Garen coldly.
