Wow! The item-dropping rate is really high!

"Killing a large number of the field warlords!"

The scattered corpses on the ground were a fact witnessed by the warriors of all special squads.

"Helen's brainwashing was extremely successful. General Bai E has now become our perfect leader. I don't know what purpose you have in continuing to oppose him!"

The officer, who was being rebuked, subconsciously moved his lips, wanting to retort, yet looking at the messenger who had returned, he knew well that the informer planted beside Bai E made it even harder to find any excuse for criticism.

Yes... Admiral Bai E had already raised the slaughter knife against the humans outside the city. What reasons did they still have to pick on this invincible artificial War God, who nearly had no personal weaknesses?

As biomatter resources were hauled back to the city by the truckload, amidst the soaring stench of blood, the production staff of the Scientific Research Institute roughly estimated the number of artificial humans that could be generated from these resources—

About eleven thousand people!

After a simple safety test, the gathered biomatter entered directly into the smashing and utilization process.

As long as it was confirmed that the biomatter was composed of elements usable by humans, and not the alien genetic material of the Bug Race, nobody was overly interested in the origins of these flesh and blood.

The few voices interested in uncovering the complete truth were drowned out by the prevailing doctrine of rapidly restoring military camp combat readiness.

At the reassembled regional military officers meeting, Bai E finally became the rightful leader of the military district under Weslin.

"While our Marshal Weslin is unconscious, we have decided to leave Admiral Bai E in charge of all matters, big and small, within the military district!"

...

"Congratulations..." Helen watched Bai E return with a smile full of meaning, her charming eyes blinking curiously. In a low voice audible to only the two of them, she asked, "I'm just very curious, where on earth did you get so much beast meat from?"

She had ordered a simple safety inspection for the biomatter, but she herself was not subject to her own directives.

Curious about Bai E, she wanted to know where he had found so much flesh and blood.

The results of the investigation were beyond belief.

Aside from a minority of tissues truly from human corpses, the main component of the returned flesh and blood biomatter astonishingly all came from the wild beast kings that roamed the earth—the Kennado Behemoths!

Even if the Kennado Behemoth was the largest land beast recorded in Blackwater City, it was certainly not large enough to provide as much biomatter resource as Bai E had brought.

Based on the size of the closest recorded Kennado Behemoth to the city, at least fifty or sixty beasts of similar caliber would need to be killed to provide as much flesh and blood.

It had only been a few days since he had made this request, and he had already killed so many behemoths?

There are definitely more than fifty or sixty Kennado Behemoths worldwide, but Blackwater City's records only accounted for three.

To achieve all this, what level of operational capability and information channels did Bai E possess?

"..." Bai E smiled mysteriously, offering no explanation.

Instead, he brought up another topic, "How is the research going?"

Speaking of her main concern, Helen became serious, "Currently, I have grasped the core of the kinetic weapons you spoke of. The strength of these weapons lies not in their material or craftsmanship, but in something extra added to them... in a membrane. This is an unusual force field."

The carrier for this "membrane" actually isn't crucial, and the more advanced material of the carrier doesn't directly affect the "membrane." The essence of the membrane is the core of the kinetic weapons' ability to slice through metal like butter.

"I can now simulate that layer of 'membrane' for a short time, but I am still unable to form the special shape like on your weapons," said Helen with a slight frown. "If we can't form the shape we need, we won't be able to wield this power at will."

"So we still need some kind of constraining device?"

"Yes!" Helen's eyes lit up, staring intently at Bai E. "Do you have any ideas?"

"My thought process is like this..."

Bai E didn't know if he had the ability to impart knowledge and technology to NPCs. He could grant players such rule-like privileges through a quest, but he was unsure about himself.

Many things he learned, he applied instinctively like eating, breathing, and drinking water, without knowing the rationale behind them.

This time, when giving Helen a hint, he could only somewhat forcefully demonstrate by creating the first Fission Field Generator built by humans themselves using a method similar to a prototype sample.

When the force field was steadily shaped over an ordinary alloy combat knife, Helen's eyes nearly popped out of her head.

"You..."

"You, you, you..."

"How did you do that?!" There were quite a few other research staff from the Scientific Research Institute in the studio, and upon seeing the pale blue force field attached above the blade, their eyes were filled with incredulous surprise.

["Lucky Strike" charge+12.]

Bai E remained expressionless, "It's just like this, and then like that... I feel like this thing ought to be done this way, right?"

He admitted that his teaching was a bit like Yue Ying's, which was also why he waited until Helen and the other researchers had a certain level of understanding before demonstrating.

Otherwise, if they understood nothing at the start, even if he made the finished product right in front of them, they would still be in the dark.

Now... they should be able to grasp a little bit, right?

Looking at Helen's thoughtful and beautiful eyes, Bai E was filled with anticipation.

However, the next moment, the lights in the entire laboratory flickered suddenly then after a series of bright and dark flashes, the painstakingly formed Fission Field dissipated once more.

Bai E was startled, checking the attribute of the item in his hand but not finding the word "damaged" anywhere.

"The power ran out." Helen looked at the small Force Field Generator device in Bai E's hand with a complex gaze, "The energy it consumes is not something a single soldier can sustain."

"Oh~"

So, it also needed an external individual power source that a single soldier could carry?

No wonder the introduction of the Fission Field Generator technology stated that "Miniaturized Kinetic Theory" was the core prerequisite knowledge. The Star Devourer blade he used had Spiritual Energy as its power bank; naturally, it didn't require external power. Actual technological products couldn't avoid this limitation.

I can only crudely craft technology by hand. Can I teach knowledge?

"Cough cough~" Bai E coughed lightly, speaking indifferently, "Regarding power, I have also gleaned some insight from the Intelligent Mechanisms."

Helen's eyes shone, "Quick, tell me!"

"The so-called miniaturized power, with our current level, is most suited to a miniaturized nuclear reactor..."

[You are participating in the creation of blueprints—Storm Armor; current progress 0.001%, upon full participation and completion, you will gain: Blueprint—Storm Armor, as well as all scientific and technological levels required for the armor; Scientific Research Experience +50000; Technology Points*3.]

A miniaturized power source naturally couldn't be directly affixed to the weapon, and the most suitable users of force field weapons are the agile human beings themselves. Both limitations dictated a straightforward and inevitable outcome for this direction of development.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the task event, Bai E's eyes sparkled.

From the link text of the quest event, he could see the general direction of application once the so-called armor was finished, like existing Mechas that amplify the limits of individual soldier's capabilities!

It was as if reducing the Mecha's size countless times and restoring it to the scale of the human body itself. If such armor could really be constructed, it would be far more useful in many situations where it was not necessary to deploy Mechas at that scale; the smaller armor would have more room to maneuver!
