Douluo Continent: Not enough bloodline? Make up for it with brains!

......

Now that Yu Yang had met Xu Yuan, he naturally explained the details of his mecha design to Xu Yuan in person. He also provided Xu Yuan with some ideas on the design direction and feasible approaches for the subsequent core magic array.

After seeing Yu Yang off, Xu Yuan held the mecha design blueprints, various thoughts flashing through his mind.

"How about we try to build this mech next?"

Theory is theory, and practice is practice. True mecha manufacturers can only improve through continuous manufacturing; however, manufacturing parts can hinder their progress.

There is a clear difference in performance between mecha makers with experience in manufacturing complete mecha systems and those without.

Mecha designers also need to observe the manufacturing process of mecha manufacturers to identify and fill in any gaps, and improve their own design ideas.

Xu Yuan's three major mecha-related secondary professions are all at level three, and he is still a long way from level four. If he wants to catch up with forging quickly, perhaps creating this yellow-level mecha will be just right.

"Most of the parts for manufacturing a Yellow-level mecha can be completed at the Level 3 level, but the core parts require a Level 4 mecha manufacturer. Moreover, the workload is enormous, making it a great training opportunity. The consumption of rare metals will also be considerable, which can be used to solidify one's forging skills."

Xu Yuan immediately decided that his secondary professional studies for the next period of time would be focused on creating this Yellow-level mecha.

"Senior Yu Yang's talent in mecha is truly remarkable; he's a man who's passionate about mecha."

I hope I won't end up like my teacher...

Xu Yuan sighed.

Being unable to reach level 95 for life is truly cruel for Makino.

One mistake led to such serious consequences.

"Actually, the teacher's mistake wasn't his passion for mecha, but that he went too far and merged his soul with it..." Xu Yuan sighed, suddenly realizing something was wrong.

He reiterated his thoughts, summarizing the problems with his teacher...

The soul merged into the mecha?

It feels so familiar.

"My soul has merged into my blood and qi."

Xu Yuan slammed his right fist into his left palm.

The teacher has a chance!

He entered the workshop, placed the materials in his hand on the design table, took out the soul guide communication device, and found his teacher.

"teacher?"

"Well, is something wrong?"

"Teacher, I have an idea."

"Speak," Makino said helplessly, his tone revealing a hint of annoyance.

Xu Yuan said he had an idea, which usually refers to some unusual direction in cultivation.

There are good and bad.

Hearing Xu Yuan say he had an idea, he was naturally annoyed.

Let's hear what they think first.

"Hehe, teacher, this time it's about your cultivation. I've been thinking about it and I've realized that the reason you can't break through to level 95 is because a closely related soul spirit has fused with your mecha, causing a problem with the fusion between your martial soul and body, preventing you from reaching level 95. But I've developed a fusion technique, haven't I? Although you are your original martial soul, your mecha isn't your original body. Perhaps you can use my approach, using the soul spirit as a medium, to integrate the mecha into yourself."

There was a long silence on Makino's side.

Xu Yuan thought the teacher was considering the feasibility.

To everyone's surprise, after a long time, Makino's sigh came through the communication.

“Silly boy, how could I not have thought that way? Don’t forget, I knew about your father’s research back then. I also had this need, which is why I collaborated with him.”

"When your Qi and Blood Contract was successful, I also performed another simulation, which did offer some psychological comfort, but it didn't bring about any real change."

Xu Yuan did not believe it.

"how come?"

"Theoretically, this should be fine."

Mu Ye sighed again and said, "Theoretically it's feasible, but it's very difficult to integrate the mecha into my body. It's not something that an ordinary mecha can achieve, to truly become compatible with me and with my martial soul. So far, the only hope I can see is that the entire mecha is made of Heavenly Forged Metal."

Xu Yuan's expression froze.

Made entirely of forged metal?

Go crazy.

Wait, the teacher is working as a cook for his uncle, could it be that he's paying him?

Xu Yuan's lips twitched, but he rationally refrained from asking his teacher, Xiao Hong, how much of her body was currently made of Heavenly Forging Metal.

Don't even mention it, there are probably quite a few.

A normal red-level mecha would never provide the same boost to a Soul Master as a Limit Douluo, and the boost would be even less noticeable for a Limit Douluo. However, the boost that Teacher Muye's Little Red Mecha provides to him in his four-word Battle Armor state is...

"Teacher, the feasibility of forging mechs with Heavenly Forging Metal is still too low. It's not as good as my Fusion Secret Technique. What you're really worried about is the issue of the carrier." Xu Yuan changed the subject.

Load-bearing material?

Makino felt that his disciple was very apt in using this metaphor.

Indeed, there is a lack of support.

Xu Yuan used his own blood and qi as a vessel, fusing parts of his soul and martial spirit.

But how could Makino possibly support an imported mecha?

Xu Yuan's things are all in the form of energy, which is the origin. It is relatively easy for them to merge together. However, the god-level mecha itself is a big lump of iron. How can it be supported when it is integrated into the body?

Integrate into the body like battle armor?

Is that fusion?

Unless one reaches the Heavenly Forging stage, there will always be a gap between a Soul Master and Battle Armor.

This barrier will still hinder Makino's cultivation.

"Teacher, doesn't the human body have a location for soul bones? Could you consider fusing the mecha and the soul master's skeleton to form something similar to an artificial soul bone, and then fuse it with you?"

Tiandou City.

Mu Ye frowned as he listened to his disciple's nonsense.

We're going to start researching artificial soul bones again.

You're really something, kid.

However, this seems like a possibility?

However, there were no pioneers.

There really are no giants' shoulders to help us anymore.

There are studies on soul bones, and there are studies on artificial soul bones, but there are no studies on the fusion of mechs and soul master skeletons to form alternative artificial soul bones.

"You kid, just focus on your cultivation first. I'll figure out a way to solve my problem."

After the communication ended, Xu Yuan came back to his senses and looked at the mecha design drawings that Yu Yang had given him.

Chapter 85 Back on Seagod Island, Yun Ming

Xu Yuan has the added advantage of his Brain Martial Soul, which makes him exceptionally good at learning.

Since the dream space provided by Yao Yao, his learning ability has been further enhanced.

Although he spent a long time thinking, in reality, he used even less time to conduct his research.

The significance of time in reality is still very important.

Being able to complete research and learning in a shorter time in reality enhances Xu Yuan's learning ability.

As he looked at the mecha design drawings in his hand, a part of his mind had already entered the dream space to understand the many details in the design drawings.

Reading comprehension!

Even though Yu Yang had personally explained many details, when Xu Yuan looked at it carefully again, there were still many ingenious aspects. Perhaps they were done casually after becoming proficient, but they were all very meaningful.

This is perhaps the significance of practice.

Without practice, there is no experience in this area from textbooks.

Xu Yuan understood the design in the blueprints and also learned from the experience gained from them.

......

Back at the academy, I spent my first day at the Mech Pilots Association.

In the dream space, Xu Yuan studied for ten days before he could barely understand the simple parts of the design drawings.

"Even high-intensity research still requires an optimal time-flow-rate ratio and a scientific time allocation," Xu Yuan said, rubbing his dizzy head.

The optimal time flow ratio minimizes the cultivation burden in the dream space, enabling the desired long-term research.

If the actual time is three hours, the optimal flow rate ratio is 24 to 1. Three hours in the outside world corresponds to three days in the dream space.

However, if it were to last for ten hours in reality, the optimal flow rate ratio would be greatly reduced, possibly to only ten to one. Ten hours in the outside world would only amount to four or five days in the dream space at most, which is constrained by the consumption of soul power and mental power.
