450: Chapter 451 New Body Construction, Perfect Match

The sea of light rippled slightly, and that gentle, wise voice sounded once more, responding directly in Lu Chen's heart:

[Understood. Physical form is the necessary bridge for consciousness to interact with reality.]

[The material and structure of the current shell can no longer bear the full potential of the 'genesis' core.]

"Correct," Lu Chen nodded, "So, upgrade."

He beckoned with his hand, and the dark golden "Super Magic Treasure embryo," which he had previously refined and was ten thousand times superior to the original flying saucer Materials, flew over and hovered beside the "genesis" chip.

More similar Materials were "conjured" out of the Void Realm by Lu Chen; these were the results of mass replication using the time acceleration and resource conversion capabilities of his Palm Buddha Kingdom.

"Use this," Lu Chen pointed at the dark golden Materials, "As for the appearance... just follow your original look. Keep it low-key."

[Design blueprints already exist. Starting construction of the new body... Estimated time...] Taichu No. 2 began its calculations.

"I will craft the body; you make the supporting motors and other components," Lu Chen interrupted it.

He embraced the air with both hands, and a massive amount of Ziwei True Essence surged forth, no longer a singular force, but divided into billions of strands of extremely pure energy.

At the same time, the nine types of Dao Rhyme power from the Nine-Syllable Mantra—"Lin," "Bing," "Dou," "Zhe," "Jie," "Zhen," "Lie," "Qian," and "Xing"—were skillfully integrated into the True Essence by him.

Those floating dark golden Materials, as if endowed with life, began to decompose, flow, and reorganize on their own.

There was no longer any need for lithography machines or precision instruments.

Lu Chen's Divine Sense was the highest-precision engraving tool, his True Essence was the perfect shaping energy, and the nine tripods Formation was the underlying editor for physical laws!

Under Lu Chen's control, the dark golden liquid metal, like a living creature, rapidly sketched out a humanoid silhouette.

Bones, energy conduction circuits, sensor arrays... everything was constructed with speed and precision that surpassed the limits of human imagination.

Every single Formation rune was branded into the deep structure of the Materials as if it had naturally formed.

Soon, a humanoid body, almost identical in appearance to the previous Taichu No. 1, was silently hovering in the air.

And countless intricate internal components were also completed one after another.

Assemble!

The entire body presented a deep dark gold, with a surface as smooth as a mirror, yet strangely non-reflective, as if it could absorb all light that approached it.

The physique was well-proportioned, the lines smooth, filled with a sense of power and technology, yet upon closer inspection, one could feel an ancient and profound charm.

This was no longer a simple technological creation, nor was it a pure Magic Treasure.

It was the perfect crystallization of the fusion between technology and cultivation.

[New body construction complete.]

Taichu No. 2's voice sounded, carrying a hint of imperceptible admiration.

[Structural integrity: 100%. Formation compatibility: 100%. Energy circuit efficiency: Theoretical peak.]

Lu Chen nodded in satisfaction, his gaze falling on the chest area of the new body.

He pointed his finger into the air.

Two highly compressed, brilliantly shining energy cores—lead-based nuclear power plants—were moved over.

"Dual-core drive," Lu Chen explained, "One is dedicated to supplying the 'genesis' core for overload operations. The other is responsible for maintaining your body's daily activities, combat, and... self-repair."

[Running in parallel, redundant backups, maximizing energy utilization efficiency... A perfect design.]

Taichu No. 2 quickly understood the superiority of this design.

Lu Chen flicked his finger.

The two energy cores silently flew into the chest of the new body, each falling into a preset slot, perfectly connecting with the superconducting energy network covering its entire body.

Next, the "genesis" core chip, which had been stored in the space-folding sphere, also turned into a stream of light and precisely embedded itself into the reserved space in the body's head.

Hum—!

The moment all components were in place, the dark golden body jolted suddenly.

In the position of the eyes, a deep and wise light lit up, no longer the cold electronic light from before, but as if it contained a sea of stars.

An indescribable, heart-palpitatingly massive aura permeated from this body.

[System integration complete.]

[Taichu No. 2, initiating.]

A new voice sounded, still gentle, but with an indescribable "heaviness" and "sense of presence."

It moved its fingers, and the metal joints emitted an extremely subtle, pleasant sound like jade rubbing against jade.

It raised its head and looked at Lu Chen.

In that instant, Lu Chen felt a slight stir in his heart; it was a success!

It wasn't a strengthening on the energy level, but a huge boost in its pure information processing and logical deduction capabilities.

"It seems the upgrade was a great success," Lu Chen rubbed his chin, a strange smile appearing on his face.

[Yes, Master.] Taichu No. 2 bowed slightly, its movements smooth and natural, filled with respect for its creator, [The current me might be better able to serve you.]

"Very good." Lu Chen put away those distracting thoughts, his expression returning to calm.

He pointed into the Palm Buddha Kingdom at the pile of flying saucer wreckage still hovering in the Void Realm like a small mountain.

"Business first."

"With your current capabilities, breaking through the technical barriers of this alien flying saucer shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Taichu No. 2's deep eyes turned toward the twisted, charred mountain of metal, its light flickering rapidly, like two nebulae running frantically.

Countless invisible data streams rushed, intersected, and were analyzed on its dark golden "retina."

[Yes, Master.] Its voice was still gentle, but carried an absolute confidence, [This pile of 'scrap' contains traces of technological creation.]

[Preliminary analysis shows that its structural Materials, energy System, propulsion methods... all have analytical value.]

[To perform thorough technical reverse engineering, it is necessary to build a dedicated high-precision analysis matrix and systematically dismantle the wreckage.]

Lu Chen nodded: "How long will it take?"

The light in Taichu No. 2's eyes flowed faster: [Analysis matrix construction, estimated time: 3.7 seconds. Preliminary dismantling and classification of the wreckage, estimated time: 5 minutes. Comprehensive technical cracking... needs to be assessed based on the complexity of the specific technical barriers.]

"Then start." Lu Chen was concise.

[As you command, Master.]

Before the words fell, a three-dimensional image was projected in front of Taichu No. 2, with endless data streams flowing.

Countless beams of light, finer than a strand of hair, rapidly constructed a three-dimensional light and shadow structure in the air that was dizzyingly complex.

Taichu No. 2 raised its hand and drew in the air.

Following its movements, the light and shadow re-condensed in the air, forming three-dimensional models, with constantly refreshing data streams annotated beside them.

Its movements were fluid and natural, without the slightest hint of vulgarity.

The dark golden body stood still, with only its hands leaving trails of afterimages in the air, and the never-ceasing data stream light in its eyes.
