944 Skill 2 (2/2)
”The better you understand the creature, the more you will know about kind of gene fragments this type of creature can handle without falling apart, and at the same time, you also need to reach a new, delicate equilibrium.” Garen quickly understood the meaning behind this job.
It was indeed very difficult; to completely study a creature, including its genetic information, every stage of its physical development, its internal equilibrium, its endocrine exchange metabolism, and so one, would undeniably he a Herculean task.
But Garen had strong foundations in this, and after adding that to his terrifying computing power that was far beyond that of a regular Level Two Energy Machinist, he was soon trying his hand at modifying the Wild Wolf Imprint's Production Mod. The first attempt ended in resolute failure.
But with the steadiness of his operating, as well as his using his computing power to fix it constantly, it was easy for him to gain full control of a mere Level One Imprint in no time. He just had to try twice, and succeeded easily.
At first Mincar had thought he would need a week to understand this, but he got it completely within two short hours.
Undoubtedly, having put so many potential points into his Intelligence, Garen was now an undisputed genius.
But learning his lesson from last time, after successfully producing a Wild Wolf Imprint that used less than 10% of the energy, he did not stop, and continued to modify the Imprint until it was practically unrecognizable, and even purposely made a few more difficult mistakes, putting on the appearance of what a normal, average Energy Machinist should be like.
It might not be a good thing to stand out too much too easily.
He checked the time, and only then did Garen realize that more than two hours had passed. Mincar had not returned yet, and he had finished reading the information, so he decided to study how to increase the upper limit of the number of cannon fodders he could control.
This included reducing the consumption of Willpower when controlling each unit, like Garen used just now. He could also use other items, like something that could amplify and support the Willpower, magnifying it, so that he could also reach his aim of a large-scale increase in the number of cannon fodders he could control.
Other than that, someone had also found the best combination to control the cannon fodder, using electronic chips to support the controlling, and the disadvantages of using that to replace Willpowers on most fronts, et cetera.
There was an essay there that mentioned this.
”Undeniably, the Energy Machinist is a powerful profession that developed from the ancient Modulation Engineers, and they are also the singular battle unit with the most potential in history, by a long shot! Even the most powerful Inherited Level pilot cannot match the potential of the Energy Machinist is large-scale battles. In that case, the upper limit of the creatures they can control has always been a huge problem plaguing low-level Energy Machinists. Most times, it is true that the cannon fodders can achieve unexpected effects. Therefore, to solve this problem, I would like to introduce a new idea. That is to self-distributed control units, L-units for short. This skill should be able to let Energy Machinists control a few of the other cores, and then using those cores to distribute control to many other cannon fodder creatures. A few of those cf creatures can also control cf creatures of the level beneath them, and as the layers go on, it will result in a powerful leveling system.'
This essay clearly defined the units, and Garen could not help but admire the technology of the time. Each of those peak-level scientists was the real deal, his only specialty was the little bit of background he had from the civilization of another world. In other aspects, he was lacking compared to these people.
”This is a level-based control system like that of the military, but it requires a great deal of resources to sustain. Compared to producing a squad like this, it would be more effective to use all those resources to properly train an elite task force.” Garen shook his head slightly.
This was followed by the detailed aspects of the essay, including the production process of a basic unit. But it was set aside because there were too many core techniques that were missing, in the Interstellar Age, there were too many weapons of mass destruction, so no matter how many cannon fodders you had, they could not match up to one peak-level powerhouse.
These skills naturally fell by the wayside, and no one provided them any more funds to advance the research. Even the author had probably more or less forgotten about it by now.
But when Garen read through it, he realized that the theory in this essay fit his Resonation Skill very well.
He could use the Resonation principle to create a control system, use his Willpower to control this system, and then use this system to connect to other energy sources, to control the large horde of cannon fodder underneath that.
”It's perfect!”
Garen could not help a sigh of wonder, and then he quickly memorized this essay. But the essay also mentioned a production instrument that was necessary for creating the parts and the chip, as well an instrument to insert them safely, and finally they were missing a reliable control core communication skill, one that was not easily interfered with, and would not decrease with distance.
The first two were harder, but the last one could be easily substituted with Resonation Skill.
”That's the one!” Garen turned off the website, feeling extremely pleased.
If he could just realize this skill, then he could break through the upper limit for the number of cannon fodders an Energy Machinist could control. In other words, as long as he had the materials, he could spawn Big Wild Wolves infinitely from the Biochemical Pool.
