Casting spells

Soon, with the accumulation of more than 30 failure experiences, the first step, which is also the most important step, was finally completed without any risk.

"It's time, X, give yourself a real name." Appreciating X, who is constantly changing the shape of his soul like a child, there was a faint smile on his face.

"Name...name? Is the name X not good?" The new life undoubtedly still retains a lot of artificial intelligence thinking methods, and blinked suspiciously.

Zhang Cheng shook his head and explained: "No, of course it's not good. X is just a code name, which represents the unknown and infinite possibilities. To be precise, it is an expectation for you, not a name. Also, tell me what you like What kind of requirements does the body have? Do you want a male body or a female body."

"Understood! What do you think of the name Adam? According to the description in the Bible, he is the first human being created by God. As for body and gender, I don't have any special requirements, as long as I can store enough data and It is enough to perform complex and huge calculations.”

"Adam? It sounds pretty good. According to this name, it seems that I'm going to prepare a male body for you."

After all, Zhang Cheng turned his attention to the large amount of materials he had prepared in advance, and began to think about which technologies should be used.

Is it the exquisite golem craftsmanship of Faerun Continent?

Or is it a magic puppet made by the high elves of Azeroth and the Burning Legion?

Or combine the two technologies to create a bionic deformed robot that frequently appears in science fiction movies?

Most importantly, he must retain the information gathering and processing capabilities of "Adam" as a super artificial intelligence, which can quickly invade various electronic devices, otherwise it will be a failed project.

To achieve this, one must either use maturely mastered cloned mind flayer brain cells to build a biological neural computing network; or use modern technology, using semiconductor chips or quantum technology, to create a true super computer.

The former needs to overcome the problem of information extraction and transformation between biological nerves and electronic components, while the latter needs to overcome the problem of technology and physics.

As for the theoretical part, he had already copied a copy from Iron Man Tony Stark's brain...

Chapter 8 and Three Inspiration

For more than half a month, Zhang Cheng hid in the bottomless basement and tried various possibilities.

Relying on the powerful learning ability obtained after the fusion and evolution of divinity and flesh, he completed the massive amount of scientific knowledge that ordinary people need more than ten years to master in less than a week, and tried to build a computer that can be used to replace the huge The "brain" of processing power in computing and information.

Among them, there are both direct construction and indirect construction using rare magic materials. The waste obtained from failure alone is piled up into a hill.

Fortunately, when the basement was first built, it was considered that some large puppets such as gargoyles might be created, so the area was quite large, otherwise the inadvertently generated garbage would be enough to cause headaches.

However, as he continued to try, he finally produced a fully enclosed metal sphere with a diameter of more than ten centimeters by virtue of his superb magic skills.

You must know that this thing is not purely using technology or pure magic, but a fusion of the strengths of the two, using alchemy to shape it multiple times. Even the most advanced technology on the earth, don't expect to be able to crack and copy the complex inside. structure to the extreme.

Carefully putting the sphere into the body in a continuously flowing liquid state, Zhang Cheng immediately began to guide the magic energy, slowly pouring it into the energy center in his chest - Mythra's Core.

When the energy absorbed by this device reaches the minimum activation value, the flowing liquid outside suddenly starts to solidify, and the body surface is gradually covered with skin and hair, and it looks like a normal person just from the outside.

But in fact, everything the eyes see is just a disguise created by magic. Those solidified liquids are harder and more resilient than any known metal on the earth, even at a high temperature of four thousand degrees Celsius. Melting is enough to ensure that its internal precise structure is not destroyed by external attacks.

After more than ten seconds, Adam, who had completely fused his soul and body, finally opened his eyes, got up from the test bench, looked at his new posture, quickly stood up and knelt on one knee and said, "Thank you for giving I lost my body and my life, master."

"No, I should be the one thanking you." Zhang Cheng admired his masterpiece with a smile on his face.

"Thank me?" Adam showed a blank expression on his face, obviously not quite understanding the meaning of the words just now.

"Yes! Thank you!" Zhang Cheng nodded seriously. "Because in the process of creating you, I looked at magic again from a scientific point of view, and got a lot of inspiration. You know? In fact, in the quantum realm, the difference between magic and technology is not as big as I imagined before." Big. On the contrary, they have a lot in common, such as the relationship between matter and energy. Many times magic can’t find a solution, so you can try technology.”

"Got it! You're having trouble with something, aren't you?"

Regarding technology, Adam is undoubtedly a professional, and he immediately figured out the reason for the so-called "thank you".

Zhang Cheng didn't try to hide anything, and admitted straightforwardly: "Yes! Tell me, if I want to observe a golden light group composed of unknown substances, what equipment do I need?"

"There are a lot! But the most important thing is definitely the spectrum analyzer. Of course, I am not referring to the ordinary spectrum analyzer, but the professional large-scale spectrum analyzer." Adam closed his eyes and thought for a moment to give the answer quickly.

"Yes, a spectrum analyzer, what a simple and intuitive solution. As long as the naked eye can see light, it means that there are a large number of photons, or high-energy particles moving in space. Instruments can capture them, and through analysis I can You can know what that thing is." Zhang Cheng's eyes showed excitement and anticipation.

"In principle, this is the case, but considering the special nature of magic, maybe we can't find the answer from spectral analysis, and at most we can only rule out some possibilities."

"It doesn't matter! Narrowing down the scope is a good start! I give you a task to purchase the best equipment. I need you to study an interesting embryo of advanced life."

"Advanced life form embryo?" Adam's calm mental state fluctuated a lot, and a lavender magic light shone in his pupils.

As a new life who has just acquired a complete soul and independent thinking ability, nothing can arouse his subconscious thirst for knowledge more than the research topic of "life".

"It's the golden light cluster I just mentioned! Believe me, the energy it contains is far beyond your imagination." Zhang Cheng hinted meaningfully.

"My honor! And I... I seem to feel excitement... Excitement and anticipation... Is this emotion?" Adam raised his hands and muttered to himself.

"No! Not just feelings! And lust! Congratulations, from now on you will become more and more human and more complete, but at the same time you will gain all kinds of distress. I can't tell you what It is the meaning of life, but it can tell you that living is never an easy task. Putting on clothes now, we still have a lot of work to do."

After saying these words, Zhang Cheng threw away a suit that originally belonged to Miles, and walked out of the dark basement.

……

Just when the two came to the street one after the other, Faust, who was far away on the other side of the ocean, had already completed the transformation of the goddess's corpse. He was laughing wildly at his own work, and sometimes leaned forward with obsession, obviously a little bit uncomfortable. too normal.

But those who really know him know that this guy pretends to be polite, but secretly he has never been normal, and even has a serious necrophilia.

In his eyes, there is nothing more beautiful than an immortal corpse.

On the other side, Lavern, who had been hiding in the holiday villa for a long time, finally absorbed the divinity he had acquired not long ago. His whole body exuded dazzling silver lightning, and his every move showed destructive power.

There is no doubt that after the last joint cooperation, the strength of these two people has achieved an essential leap.

But what they don't know is that Zhang Cheng, who has gained nothing on the surface, has also surpassed himself and is no longer limited to his human identity.

No one knows how long the alliance between the three can last, let alone when they will turn against each other because of interests.

But one thing is certain, whether it is Zhang Cheng, Faust, or Laverne, they are essentially the same kind of people, and they will do whatever it takes to achieve their goals.

So as long as there are enough interests between each other, they will continue to cooperate until they stand at the top of the road of strength.

Chapter 8 and Four: Finding the Seal

The Scandinavian Mountains, the longest and highest mountain group in Norway, start from the Barents Sea in the north, the Norwegian Sea in the west, the Skagerrak Strait in the south, and the coastal plain of the Baltic Sea in the east, with a length of more than 600 kilometers. , between 1000 and [-] meters wide, with an average altitude of about [-] meters, running through the entire peninsula.

This is the birthplace of the Viking pirates who once hung the whole of Europe, and it is also the starting point of Norse mythology.

Since Norway has always been sparsely populated, both in history and in modern times, and two-thirds of the country's land area belongs to areas not suitable for human habitation, such as plateaus, mountains, and glaciers, so in the depths of those inaccessible mountains , hides countless legends and secrets.

At this moment, Zhang Cheng was standing on the top of Mount Galch, overlooking the vast white scenery around him, and asked without looking back, "Are you sure this is one of the three marks on the map?"

"Yes, sir. Although I don't know where you got this ancient parchment map, and I don't know if it is a treasure map left by some pirates, but it is definitely the first mark here. "A middle-aged uncle with a height of more than 1.9 meters gave an affirmative answer without thinking.

Although he himself didn't feel that he could find anything of value by relying on a rough and vague map, he still accepted the job as a guide that required a certain amount of risk for the generous reward of [-] euros.

You must know that 50 euros can be converted into [-] kroner, which is equivalent to the sum of the income of ordinary Norwegians without eating or drinking for a year, and the working hours only need a few days, which is simply a windfall.

"Then what about the other two markers? Where are their approximate locations?" Zhang Cheng asked while taking and picking up the ancient parchment fixed in the glass photo frame and the modern map for comparison.
