Chapter 38: Mechanical body (2)

James watched Adam leave in place, and said to himself in a voice that only he could hear: "Adam, you underestimated me. There is only a glimmer of hope, I can do my best to fight for it, this is myself Choice, resentment? It doesn’t exist."
　　 From the power of mind that Adam just showed, James has already seen the extraordinary and difficult. Even if this kind of materialization is a characteristic of meditation, it is impossible to have if the amount of mental power is not up to it. He has studied mental power for decades and will not even lose sight of this point. As far as Musk is concerned, choosing to stay is a stud, betting on everything he has, even death.
　　 "It’s better to die on the way to the mage than to spend the rest of your life in a mediocrity."
　　......
　　 Adam came to the original mental power laboratory, and after showing the voucher given to him by Mage Irene, the laboratory was unsealed. The tower’s work efficiency is extremely high. The funds for this month have been allocated. Adam summoned an alchemy puppet through the console. He needs to remodel the laboratory. There were too many rooms in the previous laboratory. This is probably because The reason for the excessive number of apprentices participating in the research.
　　 But Adam does not need so many people to assist him in the demonstration. He has the ability to work with multiple threads. In projects that do not require operation of large-scale equipment such as mental power, he can even stand up to a team alone.
　　 Adam needs samples, not assistants.
The alchemy puppet began to work after receiving the order to obtain the energy stone. Adam once again saw the silver torrent he saw on the dock. These nano-level robots covered the laboratory like a tide, directly decomposing and combining the original structure. After seconds, Adam's requirements were met.
　　If these puppets are not the wealth of the academy, Adam would like to leave them all behind. This ability to directly change the form of matter is simply fascinating.
　　 The next step was to purchase equipment. After becoming the owner of the laboratory, he realized that the tower can improve so many magical things.
　　Optical projectors are just the most basic things. Mental power amplifiers, substantive aids, energy amplifiers, energy fluctuation recorders, etc., have everything that sounds very powerful, but relatively, the price is very high.
　　 Adam frowned and purchased a batch of instruments, and found that the funds allocated by the tower were quickly used up. At this point, he finally knew why the value of the energy stone was not high and there would still be apprentices duel because of this. The apprentices were too poor.
　　 He couldn't help but think of the red battle missions and huge rewards in the mission hall. Adam, who was originally a research house, was not interested in those, but now he found that maybe he really wanted to do it.
　　 But it is not the time yet, he needs to send his thoughts to the library. The books with specific runes in the library are not paper, but the three-dimensional form of the light curtain. Adam recorded the thoughts of the power of the meditation into the optical projector, and then removed the information box from the projector. The complete set of runes has been Stored in the information box, the library will form a "book" based on the information box.
　　......
　　 Early the next morning, Frank came to the laboratory almost at the same time as James.
　　 "I would like to join the laboratory." Frank said directly.
　　 Adam is not surprised by this. Judging from yesterday's performance, Frank agrees is almost inevitable.
"I'm very honored, but what I need is not an experimental assistant, but a test subject. Can you accept it?" Adam's words are very straightforward. In the study of the idea of ​​meditation, whether it is James or Frank, their wisdom Neither is enough to provide help for Adam. The meaning of the two of them is to provide data for Adam-under normal aptitude training and semi-mechanized body training.
　　 Even if they had already established their own abilities, they were still a little embarrassed when they heard Adam's words, but soon Frank said firmly: "Yes, Mr. Adam, I can accept it."
　　 Adam nodded, took out two contracts and gave them to them. The content of the contract was very formulaic, and they signed it without seeing it.
Adam clapped his hands and said, "Well, you are welcome to join." There is no morale boosting and no celebration. Adam assigned the task very directly: "James, you can start to build meditation ideas. If you find it difficult, Amplifiers and substantive aids can be used. All the processes of your construction will be under surveillance. If you have any questions, sort them out and hand them to me. Mr. Frank, follow me."
　　 Frank's research is more valuable than James, and Adam is very interested in him.
　　 "Mr. Frank, I want to know if your soul and mental power have changed after you lose half of your body."
　　 This question is what Frank pays attention to every day in the hardship. He heard Adam ask him without thinking, and said: "There is no change, but after losing my body, I can no longer feel the element."
　　 Adam recorded his words, and then asked: "So, do you know the situation of the other apprentices who use mechanical bodies? Can they not feel the elements?"
Frank knew that Adam was a rookie. Although he was talented, he didn't know much about common sense. He directly said what Adam wanted to know: "Yes, all apprentices like me can no longer produce elemental perception. , We can only embark on the path of an alchemist. But this path requires a huge amount of resources, and the Moldo Elemental Tower is not better than alchemy."
　　 "So, do you know the reason?"
　　 Frank nodded: "In the apprenticeship stage, the body is the actual manifestation of the soul. Although the semi-mechanized body does not affect life, it will cause the loss of the soul."
　　The lack of soul? Adam set the focus, the study of the soul on the earth only stays in theology, and its existence cannot even be determined on the scientific level. If Frank is right, the incompleteness of the body causes the loss of the soul, then why is thinking not affected?
　　 Is it true that in the apprenticeship, or mortal stage, human thinking is not determined by the soul? What is it by? Brain?
　　 Adam put this question in his mind. This kind of knowledge should not be considered confidential. There may be relevant materials in the library. Just look it up when you have time.
　　He said to Frank: "Yesterday you told me that a mechanized body brings pain. How does this pain arise?"
"I look like a person, but in fact there are two bodies. All the characteristics of the flesh and blood body are only carried out in half, and the other half cannot be felt. But the mechanical side must be involved." Frank took off all his clothes. Exposing the mechanical body, then he pulled the connection with both hands, and separated it from the flesh and blood body.
　　 This kind of thing is obviously very painful, Frank sweats like rain, but he didn't say a word, and said with the calmness he tried to maintain: "That's it."
It looks a little horrible. The small granulation on the broken side of the body keeps growing, trying to heal the wound, while the mechanical side simply cuts off the granulation. Each blood vessel is connected to a tube. The blood flows in this way. Even the internal organs are made of machinery, and Frank's entire body is rapidly failing.
　　 "What keeps it running is magic."
Adam knows that perhaps the most painful thing for him is not physical. A flesh and blood body that has not undergone physical training must always be in contact with magic, and the rate of cell regeneration cannot keep up with the rate of death. In this way, the one who waits for Frank is his own eyes. Watching oneself die, this kind of psychological pressure is the most painful.
　　 Adam put his hand on Frank's body, Frank shakes uncomfortably, Adam said: "Don't move, I need to experiment."
Whether the mind power can construct a membrane between the mechanical body and the flesh and blood body, so that the two are harmoniously combined. The mental power itself has load-bearing power, and the mind power surpasses the spiritual power. Then can the mind power be in different materials The role of neutralization between the two is what Adam wants to study now.
　　The power of thought flows out gently and gently~EbookFREE.me~ covering the fracture, Adam gradually controlled it to materialize, and after perfect coverage, a thin film was formed. He said to Frank: "Merge."
　　 Frank breathed a sigh of relief, and tore himself apart. Even though he was used to the pain, he couldn't bear it. Then he became nervous again. If Adam's experiment can be done, it undoubtedly means that he may not have to suffer such pain in the future.
　　 Adam took his hand away and asked Frank, "How do you feel."
　　 "The pain has been relieved, but it is not obvious." Frank frowned. He found a more critical problem: "And the growth of the body cannot be suppressed."
Adam nodded his head to record, and then applied changes to the mind power to increase the power of mind power and control the body to no longer grow. This is not easy. Too much power will kill the body, and too little power can be suppressed. Fortunately Adam has a metamorphosis level. The computing power found the most suitable output in a short time.
　　 "What about now?" Adam asked again.
Frank's eyes burst with bright light. It is not a description, but a real light. This is a manifestation of severe emotional fluctuations and unable to control the mental power. He excitedly said to Adam: "Useful! Really useful! Hardly compared to before. It hurts, I feel more relaxed than ever before!"
　　 Frank has reason to be excited. This kind of motivation of reading gave him great hope. He originally applied for the experimental project just to alleviate the pain. Now this goal has been achieved.
Adam originally wanted to try to build blood vessels with mind power, but Frank’s current state is not suitable for experimenting. He withdrew the mind power. Frank's expression was suddenly distorted. Adam turned a blind eye and said calmly: "This is here today, you You can go back to rest, or go to James to build a meditation idea."
