Chapter 238 Rune Overlay
Bai Qi took the drawings from the side again and indeed discovered the existence of these abandoned runes.
"Abandoned runes?"
Hearing Bai Qi's words, Lu Qing couldn't help but feel a little confused. She took the drawing and took a look, then said, "I've seen these runes before. They are used to alleviate the impact of external energy. They are not discarded runes."
“I see.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly, but he still felt that something was wrong. With a turn of his eyes, he ran directly to the hall and began to study the daytime mecha.
Although the data of each group is shared, it has been processed after all, and it is still not as clear as looking at the main body directly.
“Found it.”
Soon, Bai Qi found the runes he had just discovered on the heels of the daytime mecha.
Just as Lu Qing said, these runes seemed to be used to alleviate energy shocks and had no intuitive use.
Bai Qi looked at the runes in front of him with some confusion. He couldn't figure out the problem after thinking about it for a long time, so he simply got on the aircraft and did a full body check of the daytime mecha. Sure enough, he found similar runes on other parts of the ground.
"It is evenly distributed at each node that is likely to come into contact with the outside world. It does seem to be used as a buffer, but it always feels a bit weird."
Bai Qi looked down at the daytime mecha in front of him, while constantly recalling the battle scene with the black sky mecha in his mind.
"It seems that the Black Sky Mecha only reacts after being impacted?"
Looking at the scattered and randomly distributed runes in front of him, Bai Qi seemed to have thought of something and ran to a holographic projector to operate it.
Lu Qing, who was following Bai Qi, saw Bai Qi drawing on the holographic projection of the daytime mecha. Although she was curious, she did not interrupt him and just watched silently.
At the same time, President Qin and Xiao Ding, who had calmed down, also noticed Bai Qi's actions. They simply put down the tasks in their hands and gathered around Bai Qi to watch.
After a while, Bai Qi finally stopped, and Bai Qi also marked a new set of rune structures on the holographic projection of the Bai Tian mecha.
This structure runs through all the rune structures of the daytime mecha, but none of them is a core rune.
It is more like a link connecting these different rune systems.
"I see. With one set of runes as the basis, multiple sets of runes are designed in three dimensions on top. They do not interfere with each other but are connected in series. When the sensor runes exposed to the outside sense the external power, they can react accordingly. This kind of superposition design is really something that the Mage Emperor could come up with."
Looking at the new structure that was constantly rotating in front of him, Bai Qi suddenly understood. The multi-rune structure of the mecha that had been a little confusing to him during the day suddenly became extremely clear.
"But why does this thing look so much like a slave contract? Rune mechas shouldn't need this, right?"
After solving one problem, Bai Qi had a new question.
"Because the soul of a legendary beast is bound within this mecha."
Bai Qi was startled when and found himself surrounded by people.
"Um, what are you all looking at?"
Being stared at by so many people, Bai Qi scratched his head in embarrassment, and soon realized that they were all attracted by the hidden rune system he had just outlined.
Xiao Ding sighed heavily and said, "I didn't expect that the hidden core system that we have been searching for for so long could be found so easily by you. Should we say that we are all old?"
“Is this the core system?”
Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this, obviously he did not expect the importance of this system, while Xiao Ding continued: "The Emperor of Law was not the first person to invent the Rune Puppet, but the Rune Puppet reached its peak during the Emperor of Law's period, and the reason was the superimposed rune system invented by the Emperor of Law."
"This method of expanding the runes from two dimensions to three dimensions is exactly what our analysis team is mainly trying to overcome."
Hearing Xiao Ding's words, Bai Qi was stunned and asked, "So, I have finished the work ahead of schedule?"
"You wish."
President Qin patted Bai Qi's head unhappily and said, "The core system is just the foundation. Other additional systems are the source of the daytime mecha's capabilities. But you have indeed saved us a lot of trouble."
As soon as President Qin said this, the others nodded, once again recognizing this young but overly talented young man.
As famous rune masters in the Federation, they are naturally very familiar with the superimposed rune system of the French Emperor period.
But this system does not have too many restrictions, and the more additional systems there are, the more difficult it is to find the core system.
A legendary combat force like the Daytime Mecha has more than ten sets of additional systems on its body, so it is undoubtedly difficult to find them all.
It is for this reason that they were divided into several groups, with the aim of finding all the additional systems and then looking for the common route.
Unexpectedly, Bai Qi was able to achieve the goal in one step by relying on some "discarded runes" from the outside world that they had ignored.
Although it has not been verified yet, judging from Xiao Ding's appearance, it should be almost certain.
“It’s not finished yet…”
Bai Qi understood what he said, and then curiously asked Xiao Ding: "Master Xiao, you just said that the soul of a legendary beast is bound in here, is this true?"
Xiao Ding nodded and said, "You don't think that rune mechas are all remotely controlled by beastmasters, do you?"
Bai Qi smiled awkwardly. To be honest, he really thought so at the beginning.
"The situation during the time of the Emperor of Law was very different from today. Today, the mechanical system can have computing capabilities far beyond that of ordinary pets through spiritual awakening. At that time, humans did not have the means to awaken spirits, so in order to ensure the flexibility of the rune puppets, the Emperor of Law came up with the method of replacing human control with the souls of fierce beasts."
Xiao Ding looked at the daytime mecha in front of him and said, "The strength of the soul bound by the mecha determines the number of rune systems the mecha can carry. If a mecha like the daytime mecha with legendary combat power is not the soul of a legendary creature, how can it carry such strong energy?"
After listening to Xiao Ding's words, Bai Qi suddenly realized.
He had spent so much time trying to figure out where the control system of the rune mecha was, but it turned out to be the soul of the ferocious beast.
So, perhaps it is the soul of the ferocious beast that drives the general figurines' activities and provides energy?
The method of extracting souls and putting them into mechas seems very interesting...
A strong desire for knowledge once again emerged on Bai Qi's face, while Lu Qing beside him was still immersed in Bai Qi's previous actions.
He solved the problem so easily that the analysis team had been trying to solve for weeks but couldn't. Is this guy really that talented?
"Don't underestimate yourself. You are already very good, but sometimes you still have to learn to look at things from other perspectives."
Professor Dong walked up to Lu Qing, smiled gently, and said, "The reason why Bai Qi can see things that we can't see is because he never dwells on the problem itself."
"Since I met Bai Qi, I have figured out a lot of problems that have troubled me for many years."
“Not dwelling on the problem itself?”
Lu Qing seemed to be lost in thought after hearing this. It seemed that Bai Qi had never really studied something seriously, but he could always find some unexpected breakthroughs every time.
So distraction isn’t a bad thing?
Lu Qing shook her head and drove this absurd idea out of her mind.
Human power is limited. If she did the same thing as Bai Qi, she might really accomplish nothing.
Just stick to your own path.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing's expression suddenly became resolute, and the shock she had felt before because of Bai Qi completely disappeared.
Bai Qi did not notice the change in Lu Qing. Having just heard new knowledge from Xiao Ding, he was filled with curiosity and kept asking Xiao Ding questions.
"Master Xiao, does this core contract still have the effect of preserving the soul?"
"Since the beast's soul can assist in combat, it should still retain consciousness. Wouldn't it rebel?"
"Also, what kind of method is this to extract the soul and seal it? The slave contract should not have such ability."
"besides……"
Looking at Bai Qi who kept asking questions, Xiao Ding frowned slightly, but before he could interrupt Bai Qi, President Qin on the side couldn't help it anymore.
"I'm a legend and I'm quite busy. I'll answer these questions for you."
President Qin glanced at Bai Qi unhappily and said, "It would be bad if someone led you astray in the direction of your training."
Hearing what President Qin said, Xiao Ding's face suddenly turned ugly again, and he said, "Your method is wrong, right? You only focus on external supplements and ignore the cultivation of the pet's own recovery ability. Such a dependent behavior is courting death on the battlefield."
"Tsk, it seems that I have been on the battlefield longer than you. Are you sure you want to talk to me about the battlefield?"
Seeing the two of them about to quarrel again, Bai Qi couldn't help but feel a headache.
He was still thinking of asking for more confidential information, but how could he ask when these two people started arguing?
"Well, actually, I think you two don't need to argue at all."
When Bai Qi said this, the two of them stopped talking, and President Qin asked directly, "Bai Qi, who do you think is right between us?"
Xiao Ding also stopped talking, his eyes fixed on Bai Qi, obviously wanting to see what Bai Qi thought about this.
Being stared at by the two with such eyes, Bai Qi was a little scared, but in order to get the information he wanted, he still said: "Master Xiao focuses on long-term development, and even the smallest advantages can be accumulated into an absolute lead; while President Qin focuses on immediate effects, restoring combat power as soon as possible to avoid accidents, right?"
The two nodded. In fact, both of them had both treatment methods, but they were still unwilling to give in on the question of which one was more important.
Now that someone has finally put the two things together, they also want to hear what Bai Qi has to say.
Seeing that the two agreed with him, Bai Qi also expressed his own opinion very straightforwardly.
"Since both of you think your ideas are correct, why don't you just put them together?"
Xiao Ding shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Although pets can master multiple healing skills at the same time, if they are put on the battlefield, they will definitely focus on one or the other. After all, these two types of skills have different requirements for the precision control of energy."
"In that case, then don't give it to the pet."
Bai Qi pursed his lips at the stacked rune system beside him and said, "Aren't we researching daytime mechas to make pet healing machines?"
