Chapter 195 Experiment
[Sa Mo Jian's Golden Peach]

special items
This event cannot be taken out
After planting, water it with Tianrui, and there is a certain chance of obtaining precious plant fruits.

After taking the fruit, you can use Tianrui to water the roots and branches again, and repeat the cycle endlessly.

Note: The golden peaches of Samarkand are treasures that can only be seen in the world in this era!
If you eat too much fruit grown with red mercury, won’t it contain excessive heavy metals?

Qin Huai was thinking wildly while putting away the golden peach that looked like an ornament. He asked the soldier beside him, "Where are the armors of the Western Barbarians collected in the armory? Take me to see them."

"General, those weapons have been transferred to the Fujia Bureau. The master craftsmen seem to be discussing using them to help you strengthen the [Flying Cavalry Guard]."

Speaking of the [Flying Cavalry Guard], the young soldier looked at Qin Huai with envy in his eyes.

"I know. I can go by myself."

Qin Huai waved his hand, signaling the soldiers not to follow.

After leaving the warehouse and walking along the street, the Shenwu Army soldiers were in groups of twos and threes, some were transporting cannonballs and logs to the city wall, while others were patrolling the city with swords and guns in hand, creating a solemn atmosphere as if a storm was about to come.

Pushing the door and walking into the temporary residence of Fujia Prison, the spacious room was filled with wooden boxes and iron boxes containing metal parts. There were also some large smelting tools, such as furnace bellows, spiral drills, and even a semi-new processing machine tool.

The craftsmen were gathered around three [Mad Lion Type II] in varying stages of disassembly, having a heated discussion.

Qin Huai walked quietly behind the crowd, wanting to hear how they planned to strengthen their [Flying Cavalry Guards].

"Judging from the strength of these alloys, the technology of the Western Yi people is definitely not as simple as Tianrui soaking. We should try more metal doping and smelting processes with different proportions."

Qin Huai had seen the person who was speaking before. He was the military craftsman wearing a mechanical arm. Now he was holding a piece of golden armor in his hand and talking to everyone.

Name: Wu Shu

Official Position: Supervisor of Fujia
Expertise: Military Skills 60%, Alchemy 55%
Status: Quick thinking (photographic memory, quick thinking), deft hands (extremely stable hands, comparable to high-precision machine tools)
"The design of this power furnace is also contrary to James's theorem. I really don't understand how these armors dissipate heat. Aren't the Western barbarians afraid that the armored people will be roasted?"

Another bearded craftsman was holding a power core that had been roughly smashed open by a blunt object, and only the general structure could be barely seen. His brows were tightly furrowed.

['Nemia' first generation power core]

Quality: Rare

Condition: damaged
Origin: Minerva Agency
Increases the peak output of mobile armor by up to 40% and the output stability by 20%, exclusively for the Mad Lion II.

"And this thing, it looks like a spine, but it's made of tiny needles. How is the wearer supposed to put it on? You can't just stick it into the flesh, right?"

There are countless questions like this, but after chatting with this group of craftsmen, Qin Huai also figured out one thing.

That is how the Tang Dynasty's talisman system came about.

Unlike the Messianic Holy Church that unearthed the heritage of Avalon, Datang's mechanical theory system is more basic, but also more comprehensive.

And all this knowledge seems to be closely related to someone hundreds of years ago.

Zhan's theory Zhan Yuejin?
Listening to the craftsmen's discussion, Qin Huai suddenly became curious about the economic and productivity development in the Tang Dynasty.

If there were foreign wars to divert conflicts, would the Anshi Rebellion still happen?

Qin Huai touched his chin, with a gleam in his eyes.

"General, what do you think?"

The craftsmen had long noticed Qin Huai who was listening attentively, but since they didn't see him move, they didn't take the initiative to disturb him.

"Can you put together a complete set of lion armor? I want to try it on."

Qin Huai didn't waste any time and sat down on the half-moon-shaped armor suspension that helped the Lionheart Knights wear the [Mad Lion Type II].

"Yes, quite a lot."

Wu Shu nodded, and with the help of the huge power of the mechanical arm, he moved a giant golden mobile armor from the back.

"But the general is huge, and only this huge armor can be used."

Qin Huai barely squeezed his body into the approximately three-meter-long Mad Lion II and hooked his fingers to try to connect the wrist armor and the iron fingers on his hand.

As its ten fingers hooked onto the ring locks embedded in its armor one by one, the giant golden lion began to clench its fists and twitch from time to time.

The armor craftsmen gathered around a copper instrument panel, monitoring the air pressure, voltage, flow rate, temperature and other values ​​in real time, collecting all-round data on the status of the armor.

"Steam pressure 150%, three-phase valve flow 3 times, condenser open, combustion nozzle fully open"

"Reduce the steam pressure and flow rate by 20%."

After thinking about it, Qin Huai decided to reduce the output and burst of this [Mad Lion Type II] first and get used to it.

As the mechanical state was gradually adjusted, Qin Huai, who was controlling the [Mad Lion Type II], felt a little strange, just like a beginner who was used to swimming in shallow waters was suddenly thrown into deep waters.

It may seem no different on the surface, but the actual feeling...only those who have been in the water will understand.

Different output methods, different feedback experience
Compared with the [Mad Lion II], the [Flying Cavalry Guard] with a single power core is a bit like a big toy.

There is still a difference in horsepower output.

Qin Huai frowned, but didn't say much.

Click~
The mask fell, hiding the stern face.

Starting from the fingers, the golden lion began to tremble slowly, followed by the wrists, elbows and shoulders. The steam gates opened and closed, and with a hissing sound, white steam gushed out from the exhaust ports.

The spine is unlocked, the lumbar vertebrae are unlocked, the limbs are elastically locked, the knee joints are opened, and a smooth friction sound comes from inside the golden giant lion.

Qin Huai fumbled to unlock the components inside the armor one by one, and his muscles and machinery slowly fitted together, bringing a control experience that was very different from that of the [Flying Cavalry Guard].

If you must say, [Flying Cavalry Guard] is like an exoskeleton armor that provides a good boost to the wearer. Although the output is low, the degree of freedom is high, and the wearer can use various fighting skills at will, which is very suitable for the Shenwu Tianqi group of killer embryos.

The [Mad Lion II] is more like the mecha in the conventional sense. The wearer does not need to exert great strength to create miracles. He only needs to control the direction and plan the action, and the unparalleled mechanical power will achieve the desired effect for him. The lower limit is indeed not low, but the upper limit is also so-so.

bang bang bang~
The huge golden mad lion grasped the handrails on both sides of the bracket with both hands and slowly stood up.

The craftsmen only heard a series of slight explosions coming from inside the armor, and they realized that it was the high-pressure steam that was opening up the entire armor.

The steam carried abundant power and infused the entire body of the golden lion.

Qin Huai stood up crookedly. With his body balance and alchemical knowledge far beyond that of ordinary people, he loosened his hands, slowly stood up, and stood firmly on his own legs without falling.

"It's well balanced, and the load pressure is very light, about one-fifth of the [Flying Guard]."

A steady and powerful voice came from under the mask, and Qin Huai raised his arm, signaling everyone to make way.

"Go find Xiao Gui to practice with me."

Qin Huai's leg muscles began to try different forces, intending to take a step. After a while of testing, the golden lion slowly took the first step. The first step was a bit heavy, but the second step was much more natural. It moved forward cautiously, like a toddler learning to walk.

As Qin Huai made adjustments based on the subtle differences in stress between the skin and muscles, the mechanical sounds inside the armor became fainter and fainter. "The coordination is OK, and regular movement should be no problem."

Qin Huai controlled the golden giant lion and walked out of Fujia Prison and onto a rather wide street.

The streets near the Talas city gate were in ruins after two major battles, so the Shenwu Army simply demolished the houses and turned the streets into a parade ground.

"General, are you looking for me?"

Xiao Gui strode to Qin Huai's side, and was followed by Youguo Yifu Meng Maojie to join in the fun.

"I want to test the performance of the Western Barbarians' armor. You can try your fists and feet with me."

Xiao Gui was slightly stunned, but still bowed and agreed.

"Yes!"

"The armor on your body must have been deeply reinforced by the Western Barbarians. Its power output and armor thickness are not comparable to ordinary armor. Zuo Guoyi, be careful."

Wu Shu checked the status of the two and gave them a reminder dutifully.

"Thanks."

Xiao Gui nodded and looked at the golden mad lion with full readiness.

Qin Huai raised his giant palm and hooked his finger at the [Flying Cavalry Guards] in a somewhat strange manner.

"Come!"

Before he finished speaking, the [Flying Cavalry Guard] clenched the iron fingers of the armor without hesitation, took a quick step, and swung his huge fist from bottom to top, creating a crimson shadow, aiming directly at the golden lion's chest.

Facing Xiao Gui's simple and neat punch, Qin Huai's eyes narrowed slightly, and dozens of ways to break it instantly emerged in his mind.

However, the reaction speed of the mobile armor was far slower than that of his round and solid body. Qin Huai had no choice but to choose the dumbest but most effective way to deal with it.

Head-on collision!

Two fists, one big and one small, violently collided in the street, causing a circle of transparent air waves to explode.

Qin Huai felt the surging power of the dual-core 'Nemia', and his foot slipped, allowing the [Flying Cavalry Guard] to brush past the giant golden arm and unload the force.

"Come again."

The scarlet helmet nodded lightly, thick steam bulged out from the gaps between the armor, and a ghostly figure suddenly approached.

The power core rotated at double speed, and the [Flying Cavalry Guards] rushed forward with a stream of white steam. During the high-speed movement, the scarlet fists and palms carried a several-meter-long stream of sharp light and rushed straight to the vital point of the Mad Lion.

Qin Huai did not dodge or evade. Although he knew that the golden giant lion's freedom and reaction speed were insufficient, he still twisted his waist and swung his arms, intending to use the pressure of the [Flying Cavalry Guards] to test the operational flexibility of the armor.

The light danced, the golden lion roared, and in the dense steam cloud, scarlet balls and golden lights flashed alternately, like two blazing suns.

The dense fist shadows were like a metallic storm, and the crisp and continuous roars shook the entire training ground.

The golden giant lion strolled leisurely in the garden, with its arms clasped in front of its chest, defending but not attacking, and it was obvious that it still had strength to spare.

"That's enough, stop."

Xiao Gui immediately withdrew his hands and shook his sore and painful fists. The craftsmen who were watching the fight nearby hurried forward to remove the talisman armor of the [Flying Cavalry Guards] and send them for repair.

"General, how do you feel?"

Wu Shu looked at the pitted and dented armor plates on the golden giant lion, marveling at them and asking Qin Huai how he felt.

"It has its own advantages over the Flying Cavalry Guard. This armor is not as easy to use, but the load and consumption are indeed much smaller."

Qin Huai shrugged and walked back to the armor suspension.

"Repair this armor, change its paint job, and make it my spare armor."

"Here"

Wu Shu nodded, but he looked a little hesitant: "Sir, don't you want to try the enemy chief's?"

"I broke a key part of the armor. You can't wear it until it's repaired."

Qin Huai took off his armor and shook his head. He picked up the dark gold spine and showed Wu Shu the densely packed hard gold electrodes. Not only were there a few electrodes missing, but there was also a crack that went through half of the spine from bottom to top.

"Understood, we will try to fix it."

Qin Huai patted Wu Shu's rough mechanical arm and said, "There's no rush. You should discuss with the Military Equipment Supervisor and build a few more heavy artillery."

"Here!"

"Go."

Qin Huai handed the dark gold spine back and looked at Fu Meng Maojie who had been waiting for a long time.

"How is the Shenwu Army's garrison going?"

"The Nanshi and Ximu city gates have been repaired. In addition to the Western barbarians' Dragon Roar heavy cannons and Explosive Flower Cannons, Tiger Squat and Broken Mountain cannons are also being deployed on the parapet walls. The ratio of troops stationed at the four gates in the southeast, northwest, and northeast is 2:3:2 respectively. Wuying and Tabai have also been deployed. As long as the Western barbarians can't fly, they won't be able to sneak in silently!"

There was nothing wrong with the arrangement made by the Jinmu Shogunate. Qin Huai nodded and calculated the time. The reply letters from Anxi and Beiting should have arrived.

"What do Qiuci and Tingzhou say?"

"I have seen that you and Secretary Cen have sent 8,000 elite troops to advance to Suiye. The Tuqishi Khan Tuhuoxian is personally leading a large number of cavalry from the northern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. They will reach Talas in a few days."

"What about southern Xinjiang? The armor of the Western Barbarians is very mobile. We have to be careful that they may wade across the Wuhu River, take the Pamir Mountains, and go straight to Shule from the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains."

Qin Huai looked at the map of Yanfu in his field of vision and found that most of the troops were concentrated in the northern region, while the southern border with its high plateau and dangerous peaks was empty of troops.

"Secretary Cen has sent two letters to Dabolü and Luosi. Most of the troops of Chideguang in Dabolü have been sent to join the troops of Qixi, and they plan to station them in Shule and Khotan respectively."

"Has Zuo Jinwu (Gao Xianzhi) not left yet? If it's any later, the Nine Zhaowu Clans will probably be wiped out by the Western Barbarians."

"My second brother hasn't come back yet, and no eagle letter has been released from Chang'an. I really don't know where Zuo Jinwu is at the moment."

Fu Mengmaojie thought about it, then took out the letters and reports he carried in his pocket and checked them before he gave an uncertain answer.

"Brothers, take this time to rest, conserve your energy, and be ready for battle. We just pulled out the nails from the Western Barbarians a few days ago, so keep your spirits up during this period!"

"Here!"

Qin Huai stood on the battlements of the city wall of Talas, looking as far as his eyes could see towards the southwest.

There, there was a faint dust rising.

"This war may never be a game between three parties, but a collision of the entire world!"
