God Simulator

 Chapter 691 It has its own ideas

 Joseph’s married life was not ideal.

On the one hand, he found that he seemed to have lost his ideals and motivation and returned to a state of emptiness.

The more successful and well-received [Magnetic Probe] is, the clearer this feeling of emptiness becomes.

 He ​​originally thought that his potential was endless, as long as he continued to hone himself and continue to produce new [Magnetic Probes] in the [Flow] state. After all, it only took him less than four months to achieve this amazing result.

 But the reality is not like this.

 He can still activate [Flow], but the maintenance time is very short, ranging from a few seconds to an hour, and he can no longer exceed the limit for a long time.

 Joseph asked some experienced athletes and got responses.

“Most people rarely have that kind of moment in their lives. Flow is pushing yourself beyond the limit, but to do this you need to abandon distracting thoughts, be focused, and have strong motivation in a specific environment.”

"Most of us will be entangled in various things, and our concentration will continue to decrease, and we will not be able to devote everything to one thing, completely give up or forget other things. Being able to maintain a state of flow for a long time is the result of perseverance all year round. Blessings and good luck.”

 …

 The previous situation was hard to come by.

Joseph also knew that people should not be too greedy.

 He is not more talented than others, he is just luckier.

 He felt like he had become a salted fish who had lost his ideals. Even if he hung on a rope every day, he seemed to be able to get by.

 Another reason why it is not ideal is because of the eccentricities of his wife Leah.

 Vampires feed on blood. Joseph thought that the [Blood Hill] of the Yao tribe had blood lakes and seas of blood all over the world. The whole world was constantly pumping out fresh blood, so food should not be a big problem.

However, Leah told him: "The vampire family will **** the blood of their partners after marriage. We exchange each other's blood to confirm the intimacy between the two parties."

 “Blood does not lie.”

Joseph was shocked: "Why haven't you heard of this?"

"Because this is a very private matter." Leah said unhappily: "If a vampire can't **** her partner's blood, then there must be something wrong with their relationship. You can **** mine too."

 She pointed to her snow-white neck.

　　　…”

 Nothing.

 Joseph was bitten on the neck by Leah.

That bite really hurt.

 After sucking the blood, Leah fell asleep with a satisfied look on her face.

 Sometimes she takes a small sip, sometimes she takes a big meal. Depending on the actual situation of the day, vampires can stop bleeding quickly, so there is no problem of excessive blood loss.

But it’s not like being sucked blood every day.

Leah would make sure Joseph was well enough before biting his neck.

 Sucking blood can only be regarded as a small habit of vampires, which makes Joseph feel pain along with strange happiness.

 But Leah's insistence on continuing to study the magic well was a huge headache for him and the key to conflicts in the marriage.

 “I won’t give up halfway.”

Leah said: "I want to continue to participate in the exploration and research of [Magic Well]!"

Joseph advised her: "Just stay on the Feizhou Ring Road and study the improvement project here. If the ring road project can be completed, the value will not be lower than the [Magic Well]."

“It’s so annoying! If I die, you can just find another wife! Anyway, I’m just a blind man! What’s the good of a blind vampire!”

Leah's white-covered eyes were still lifeless, but her voice was full of self-abasement.

At this time, Joseph realized that she was not as strong and indifferent as she seemed. Leah cared very much about not being able to see anything, but the more she cared about something, the more she acted like she didn't care.

How to comfort and persuade her, Joseph had no idea how to comfort and persuade her.

Kepler, the captain of the maintenance station, suggested: "Either you tie your eyes with cloth and live like her."

　　　…”

Joseph thought it made sense at first, but when he thought about it carefully, he thought it was completely nonsense. But he tried to do it anyway.

"Are you a fool? You used to be a blind man, but now you have become two. Will the situation get better?" Leah pressed him against the wall angrily: "You want me to teach you how to be a qualified and successful person?" Mature blind man? Huh?"

 “Listen clearly! Stop listening to Kepler’s advice! What the **** is this!”

 Joseph finally decided to let her do what she wanted to do.

 “Did you really agree?”

At that moment, Leah's distracted eyes seemed to regain some of their former vitality.

 Joseph did not want to agree.

But there is no other way, and it is impossible to tie Leah up and prevent her from going, so just respect her idea.

 She left the dormitory of the maintenance station and tenaciously participated in the challenge of the [Magic Well] project.

 Half a year later, Leah came back.

This time she lost one right hand and replaced it with a copper prosthesis.

Lea was also a little embarrassed this time: "Accidentally... my right hand was broken... When I regained consciousness, it was completely damaged and had to be cut off."

“But the prosthetic limb is also very good. It is stronger and more resistant to blows, but it feels a little clumsy to the touch. You don’t mind and blame me, do you?”

Joseph could only force a smile: "It's okay, as long as he is still here."

 “Then give me a hug.”

 Joseph hugged Leah.

The prosthetic limb was very cumbersome, and he felt that Leah's right hand was like a pliers stuck on his back.

“I promise you, my left hand will never be like this again, and it will be well preserved for you.” The wife said seriously.

"good…"

 Seeing that her husband was not angry, Leah breathed a sigh of relief and talked about the latest progress of the [Magic Well].

"The world of [Dagos] has become increasingly stable since it was saved and stabilized by Lord Yao. After resurrecting the kingdom's garrison, the monsters there have been controlled. Some of the local Dagos people who live in the trees have migrated to Sand City. , and some stayed in their hometown...The Yao people provided a large number of necessities and tools, which greatly improved their current living conditions."

"With the help of the Dagos people, we identified several smaller magic wells. The energy storage mechanism of the magic well comes from the accumulation of turbulent currents in special tunnels. If there are rapid tidal impacts like the previous rounds, it will The magic well will be overloaded, the death energy that the locals call it will skyrocket, and the threat to the outside world will increase exponentially..."

Lea seemed full of energy when talking about the research she was engaged in.

"In the 17th [Magic Well] exploration that I participated in this time, Lord Apostle Philus specifically requested Lord [Moment God] to transfer the latest second-generation [Movers] from [Forging Sun Bay]. The legendary prophet Mr. Heijing led a team into the cave of the magic well for on-the-spot investigation. I followed Mr. Heijing and recorded the structure and model of the cave wall. There is another thing you definitely don’t know. Qianyuan Mountain has already reproduced it. The magic bottle, they transformed it into the [Crystal Structure Magic Bottle] through crystal structure!”

"The crystal structure magic bottle is not difficult, because there are [Dismantling Pool], [Strange Counterfeit] and [Treasure Refining Pavilion] in the Golden Light Cave of Qianyuan Mountain. Various props can be disassembled and identified, and then used to refine the treasure. Let us complete the reproduction and restoration.”

"Although the deciphering of [Rune Runes] is still progressing slowly, it does not affect the imitation of Qianyuan Mountain. They use crystal structures instead of the copper used by the Dagos people. The crystal structure conducts magic energy as fast as copper. 24 times, the magic energy reserve of the crystal structure magic bottle is 600 times that of the traditional magic bottle!"

“With the crystal structure magic bottle, you can use the magic bottle to judge the eruption volume of the magic well in different areas. This is a very smart design.”

 She talked endlessly about this adventure and exploration.

 Joseph was a little surprised. Leah has extraordinary curiosity and persistence about the magic well. When she talks about the magic well, she does not feel resentful, but is full of fighting spirit.

"...The eruption of the magic well is unpredictable. Mr. Black Forge also tried his best to protect me, so its body also turned into many pieces, and then slowly recovered. Otherwise, I shouldn't have just lost a hand so easily. . We are already lucky this time. Every time we went down the well before, at least one researcher would die from a sudden eruption, an infection of dead air, or go crazy due to mental disorder."

Leah looked a little unwilling: "If we can conquer the [Magic Well] earlier, fewer people will die."

Joseph tried to say: "We already have a large number of Almighty Stones, a large amount of liquid magic gas produced by [Capricorn Ranch], the wind power of [Fengbo Fan Wheel], fire wells and many coal mines... It's not at all... Lack of energy. Why rush to develop the magic well? If you take your time, it will definitely be safer, right?"

 He doesn’t understand.

Due to his work, Joseph also witnessed many safety accidents.

Even the flying boat, a device with relatively mature technology, will have various minor problems. For example, there is a slight imbalance when landing, there is a buzzing sound after takeoff, the interior of the spaceship is hot and cold... These seemingly small problems must be paid great attention to.

 Maintainers must conduct repeated inspections and tests on the airship at the maintenance station. Even if the flight plan is delayed, the flight plan must be carried out. They must ensure that the relevant abnormalities disappear before flight is allowed. Otherwise, you may pay a heavy price in which everyone and your boat will be destroyed. Safety accidents are most likely to occur due to minor negligence.

Logically speaking, [White Castle], [Theological Society], and [Occult Research Institute] who participated in the development of [Magic Well] are all experienced organizations, and they cannot fail to understand that impatience can easily lead to mistakes.

 “Of course everyone knows.”

Leah frowned: "It's just that the world of [Dagos] is in a special situation. Those small [Magic Wells] are the best research targets. Their scale is controllable and they can go deep underground to view and map the structure. But due to the impact of turbulent tides and Affected, the edges of the small magic wells are constantly being torn apart, and they are also being assimilated and fused from the bottom of the large magic wells... These small magic wells are disappearing one by one, and we have to complete the records before they collapse."

 Joseph asked: “Can’t a large [magic well] be used?”

“The spewing intensity of large magic wells is too high. According to the current standards, the wellhead throughput of small [magic wells] is between 30 and 100 magic bottles per second, and each one is precious and rare.”

Leah told him: "The standard for a large [Magic Well] is at least 5,000, which means that the number of spurts that can be produced at the same time is at least 50 times that of the former. As for the one between the small Magic Well and the large Magic Well, We usually call them fissures, and they are usually branches associated with large magic wells. They are no less dangerous than large magic wells, and their eruptions are even more irregular."

“If a large magic well erupts, those caught in it will have no chance of survival.”

 She opened the five brass fingers of her right hand, then squeezed them tightly, relaxing and clenching them repeatedly.

“Some people have said before that the [Magic Well] is too dangerous, and it should be regarded as a century-old plan, just like the design and application of the flying boat circuit in the past.”

“However, Mr. Black Forge believes that this is a major opportunity with extremely high timeliness. Either seize it now, or the opportunity may be lost forever.”

 The starting point of black forging lies in three points.

 First, in terms of the general environment, time waits for us not.

　　　【Dagos】The world itself is in pieces, barely held together by the power of the **** Yao. However, the magic wells on the ground are still being torn apart and collapsed. The large magic wells that can be seen now are all in a state of out-of-control flooding. The only ones that can really be used as research and recording objects are the fewer and fewer small magic wells.

 Second, world-class projects urgently need the injection of new energy.

The Yao people now have two world-class projects, [Feizhou Ring Road] and [Ripples Valley].

 They all face an insurmountable problem: energy supply difficulties.

 【Flying Boat Circuit】is to build a magnetic element circuit around the world. This has been proven feasible after the completion and application of the regional ring road at the top of Yunzhong Temple. The ring road can also be used as a void port for the flying boat to park and maintain.

But in order to truly complete the orbit around the world and build a complete and well-functioning giant artificial ring on the huge vortex world, so that it can provide spacecraft endurance, observation outposts, maintenance bases, void experiments and other functions, we must solve key problems. Important energy issues.

 At present, the energy system of the Yao civilization is still dominated by omnipotent stone, supplemented by liquid magic gas. Transporting these energy carriers will cause huge losses in manpower, energy and materials, and is extremely dependent on ground dispatch and supply. It also requires the cooperation of all parties in terms of time, which is inefficient and costly.

 Hence, the expansion that was being prepared thirty years ago has not yet started.

 Energy is the cornerstone of construction.

The construction and operation of [Ripple Valley] are also facing similar difficulties.

Initially, this project was to use ripple valleys to build the foundation for the ripple body to jump, laying out the footprints and echoes of the Yao people in the void.

However, during the actual construction, even the [Jiu Shen], who was appointed by the Yao God to personally lead the [Ripple Valley], ultimately chose local pilot projects and streamlined areas because the manpower and material resources required were unbearable.

"If the [Magic Well] can be reproduced, the [Flying Boat Ring Road] here and the [Ripple Valley] group created by [Suncasting Bay] can be fully developed, so that every world can pass through the ripples The bodies complete the transmission of information to each other!"

 The vampire wife became more and more enthusiastic as she talked.

“Joseph, this is what we have to do, we must seize this rare opportunity to push the Flying Boat Loop and Ripple Valley to the next stage!”

well.

 Joseph sighed inwardly.

Lea is a mature researcher after all, so how could she still overestimate the power of the Yao people and underestimate the horror of natural disasters and natural laws?

 But Joseph thought again.

I used to rely on my inexplicable confidence and temporary enthusiasm to build a car just because Leah brought hope. I was lucky enough to come up with the [Magnetic Probe].

 Under normal circumstances, this is impossible to do.

The entire Yao civilization came through step by step in this way.

Under the protection of the God Yao, everyone is full of confidence. As long as someone takes the first step, subsequent people will move forward under the encouragement of their predecessors. No matter what challenges we face ahead, everyone firmly believes that they can overcome them.

 Confidence is constantly accumulated and passed on, turning into a kind of self-confidence that can be said to be blind or precious.

 “I believe you can do it,” said Joseph.

Leah looked happy and showed two sharp fangs.

 …

 However, in the middle of the night, Leah suddenly bit Joseph and woke him up.

 “Oops, something happened, something happened!”

"What's wrong?"

 Joseph rubbed his eyes sleepily. Then he saw Leah punching her left arm with her right fist. Her prosthetic left hand was wrapped with a chain and tied to the head of the bed.

 “My hands do not obey my words!”

Leah's face turned pale.

Joseph took a closer look and found that his wife's right hand was twisting around and her fingers were spreading out, as if she was trying to break free. It was as if this arm had not yet been tamed and suddenly returned to its original wildness.

“That dwarf craftsman, that guy made me a faulty arm! I’m going to settle the score with him!”

 …

Joseph asked Captain Kepler for a sick leave and took Leah all the way to Sand City. He found the local [Prosthetic Design Institute] and found the dwarf craftsman who designed and made Leah's arms.

It was a young dwarf with gray hair parted in the middle and wearing overalls, named Shuai Zai.

 What impressed Joseph the most was that this dwarf didn't have a beard and was clean shaven, looking quite unique.

 “You gave me a disobedient right hand!”

Leah angrily grabbed the other person's collar and said: "The mature technology, innovative craftsmanship and reliable quality we promised! You guy, do you know that this hand wants to secretly strangle my husband to death?"

The dwarf opened his hands, looked at Joseph next to him, and then said helplessly: "But, Miss Leia, I reminded you, this new [alien prosthetic] is based on the alien insect."

“Its biggest advantage is that it will fuse with the host and gradually become like a new arm, a living body. After it is fully integrated and synchronized, it will be almost the same as the original arm.”

 “But the disadvantage is that it has a mind of its own…”

The dwarf looked at Joseph: "In my opinion, the reason why it attacked your husband is that it felt that this gentleman was a threat to it. Of course, it didn't mean that this gentleman wanted to amputate your arm, but It feels like you're paying too much attention to it, causing it to lose attention and affection from you."

 Joseph was shocked.

And this kind of arm! The Yao people's technology has changed so fast that they look like primitive people living in the sky.

"real?"

Leah was doubtful.

"Really, your left hand is trying to silence me right now...I can't breathe..."

Leah immediately shook her left hand and found that it was unruly again. Joseph and Leah punched and kicked it before releasing it from the dwarf.

Shai Zai coughed for a while and smoothed his middle-parted hair with his hand: "Ahem, this is the first time I have seen such a sensitive and reactive [alien prosthetic]... On the plus side, its growth and fit The speed will also be far higher than ordinary similar ones.”

Suddenly the dwarf was startled and looked at Joseph carefully: "Are you... the Joseph who invented the [magnetic probe]? Joseph from Maintenance Station 77?"

"…it's me."

"Great! I can actually see you in person! I like your magnetic probe very much! What an incredible genius invention! You are the most outstanding genius in the past hundred years. Really, I can't express my admiration for you. Absolutely…”

The dwarf grabbed Joseph's hand with excitement: "You must take a look at a small improvement I made, which was inspired by your masterpiece."

 “That my wife…”

"Don't worry about small things like that. There are many [alien prosthetics] here. Whichever one you like, I will choose the best one for you! No matter how many you want to install, there will always be one that suits you! Don't go out, they know You will definitely come around, come and take a look at my little invention, please give me some advice..."

Leah clenched her right fist and held her right wrist with her left hand, guarding it tightly.

 Joseph was scratching his head a little.

 How did the situation become like this?
