Chapter 871: 272. Technology Assistant
Noland Lee and Denise Green communicated through “Soul Perception” for a few minutes, and he realized that he had been on the wrong track.
Ethereal beings have their own ways of enhancing “Basic Attributes,” distinct from those of human wizards.
Simply put, ethereal beings rely on the act of “devouring” to increase their strength.
Anything that exists in the form of a soul can become nourishment for Nolin.
For example, the Undead Cult’s Ghostly Crew, the Soul Shaping Society’s Soul Beasts, and so on.
Noland took control of these things and handed them to Nolin.
...
She could then rely on her instincts to devour the other party.
The effects, advantages, disadvantages, time consumption, and side effects of the devouring act were things Noland needed to inquire about from the wizard forces specialized in studying souls.
The Soul Shaping Society, an entity he held a grudge against, was one option. It was a wizard force specialized in extracting souls and crafting Soul Beasts.
Another option was the “Lantern of the Resurrection,” taught by the Lecturer Professor Denise Green, but they were not as proficient as the Soul Shaping Society.
Then there was the Hotams Death Department, his Lecturer Professor Erica, and others who were on the list of people he might visit.
Noland decided to find Professor Erica for a chat after settling his matters with the sea monsters.
He had been meaning to ask her about the Sub-Dimensional Plane anyway.
“Sir, thank you for waiting,” Nolin said after finishing her calculation:
“I have devised a plan to take care of the Artificial Angels’ souls. I’ll write the details of this plan for you now.”
Nolin controlled nine other Magic Pens to write characters on the blank document in front of Noland Lee.
With computational power backing her, her writing speed was very fast, and every character was as precise as if it were printed.
The nine Magic Pens worked simultaneously, and the plan consisting of tens of thousands of words was quickly completed.
Noland Lee released a Deconstruction Technique, capturing the contents of the plan in his mind:
“Let’s follow your plan, Nolin. The culture tanks and cultivation materials you need are stored on the level above. When that’s ready, I’ll have Selena take you there.”
“Okay, Sir.”
Nolin was not surprised by Noland’s reading speed, and neither was Denise Green.
After witnessing many of Noland’s wonders, such an extraordinary ability became as unremarkable as plain water, arousing no admiration or questioning.
Denise Green carefully stored Nicolette’s soul, clung to Noland Lee for a moment, and teleported back inside the house to prepare dinner.
Seeing that Nolin had spare thought threads, Noland issued new research instructions.
He transferred all the information about the Sirens Kingdom to Nolin and described to her how he would break through the Queen’s Domain with thunder and lightning magic atop the sea surface in a few days.
He also shared with her information like Mechanos, Queen’s Domain Energy Nodes, enabling Nolin to accurately calculate viable plans.
“…If the sea monsters suddenly change the location for handing over the Magic Stone to the seabed, I must ensure that I can still penetrate the concealed Queen’s Domain beneath the Sea Water. From your perspective, is there a more reliable plan, Nolin?”
“Please hold on a moment, Sir. I will list some plans with higher feasibility for you,” Nolin replied.
Nolin’s spare “Thought Thread” was occupied by a task named “Calculating Plans.”
She went all out, dedicating 90% of her designated computational power to this thread. noveldrama
As her “Soul Strength” declined by nearly 10 points on her Panel, the calculation was completed.
“Thank you for your patience, Sir. Based on the hypotheses and conditions you provided, I have compiled three sets of plans with a success rate of over 90%,” Nolin said.
While maintaining the nine Magic Pens writing the Alchemy Blueprint, Nolin used another nine Magic Pens to write down the three plans she had predicted.
“The first plan has a 95% success rate, but it is quite difficult to prepare.
“The Metal Creation Group often ventures deep into ocean planetspheres to drill for mineral resources hidden beneath the seabed. When necessary, the group manipulates magnetic fields to direct electrical currents, precisely eliminating hostile life forms on the ocean planetsphere.
“I apologize, Sir. Because the sea monsters may not be able to change the magnetic field, this plan has a high success rate, but it will be difficult for us to realize it.
“The main reason comes back to me.
“In order to construct an underwater magnetic field that guides the flow of the current, we need precise magnetometers, sensors, and pitchers. I’ve noticed that the World of Wizards lacks substantial research in the field of high-energy physics. On the Ulnas Captured Great Bustard-Class Heavy Transport Ship, there are also no high-energy particle accelerators or cloud chambers.
“Therefore, with the existing infrastructure, I am unable to build the technological devices needed for projecting the underwater magnetic field for you. My apologies once again.”
Noland Lee nodded thoughtfully:
“This is not your fault, Nolin. We will find a way to deal with the infrastructure issues later.”
“Yes, Sir. I am relieved to have your understanding,” Nolin said.
A flicker of sentiment struck Noland…
Why did he feel like Nolin might have the tendency to become a bootlicker…
“Next is the second plan I’ve deduced for you,” Nolin continued, unaware of Noland’s thoughts:
“This plan has a success rate of 93%, and is also quite difficult to prepare.
“The Metal Creation Group developed a directional electromagnetic pulse torpedo that can detonate underwater, aimed at combating hostile life forms on ocean planetspheres. In a high-density liquid environment, its effective range is 5,000 meters, and within this range, the attenuation rate of the electromagnetic pulse is at most 92%.
“Looking at the information you provided on the Queen’s Domain Energy Nodes, if you were to release 10 directional electromagnetic pulse torpedoes at once, you could destroy an energy node.
