I manifested the Shushan game

Chapter 346 A Beginner Puppet? Electronic Circuits + Rune Cultivation?

Seeing this game prompt, Chen Han felt speechless. In the game's storyline, the Puppet Sect was the leader of all puppet sects and even held a puppet fighting tournament, so its strength must be extremely high.

Now that his creation of demonic puppets has attracted attention, the other party can determine his connection to the demonic path through the images in the Spirit Shadow Mirror and has even invited him to a puppet battle tournament to test him, so he must be very skilled in puppetry.

Using a demonic puppet would definitely expose us, so we can't use it.

He could use normal puppetry techniques, but he was only given a beginner-level puppetry technique. Isn't that just asking him to get beaten up?

The key point is that using this to seek humiliation is too weak; compared to what the demonic puppets demonstrate, it has no credibility whatsoever.

That would only increase suspicion.

In the game's storyline, he's in a bit of trouble.

Fortunately, he didn't successfully travel through the game's storyline. Instead, he found himself in reality. Thinking about the robots in the robot mech league, he couldn't help but want to complain again.

If even this basic puppetry technique for cultivating immortality can't handle these things, then the game's storyline is pretty much over.

Moreover, since this is in reality, why not take advantage of this free rudimentary puppetry skill?

He immediately chose to use this basic puppetry technique, and a moment later, information related to puppets flooded into his mind.

This rudimentary puppetry technique is nowhere near as good as the puppets created using the Demonic Puppet Stone.

First of all, although this rudimentary puppetry technique also requires controlling a complete and flexible puppet, without the puppet's heart, it is impossible to recognize a master or control it with one's mind.

These puppets can only be controlled by inscribing runes and using spirit stone energy to attack. The key issue is that the control method is extremely poor. For example, a humanoid puppet is controlled by five rune combinations and five spirit stones. This requires multitasking, such as striking and kicking, attacking and defending, and coordinating with each other.

In other words, it's an enhanced version that requires strong micro-management skills.

With his current ability to open his eight extraordinary meridians and achieve the "opening meridian" stage, his physical fitness has been enhanced, and his mental agility and reaction speed far exceed those of ordinary people. This requirement should not be a problem for him.

If it were an ordinary person, even someone like my junior sister or uncle, without this kind of talent, it would be very difficult to control this puppet.

Simply put, in the cultivation world, this thing is both low-level and complex, and it can't become mainstream.

No wonder only a few chapters in the novel "Swordsman of Shu Mountain" mention puppetry, and even fewer people in major sects like Emei practice puppetry.

However, since the quest has already come, it needs to be done. Luckily, I still have a +1 mech puppet that I crafted, so I can make use of it.

To master this basic puppetry technique, the first step is to inscribe runes on the puppet.

Moreover, the cinnabar used to inscribe the runes cannot be made from ordinary materials; it must be made from special materials that have a very good effect of containing spiritual energy.

The spirit stone embedded inside the puppet is the key to driving it, and the spiritual energy emanating from the spirit stone needs to be activated to stimulate the runes inscribed with cinnabar.

This is different from a person inputting true energy into a talisman. It requires the spiritual energy of the spirit stone to surge out, and the talisman to absorb the spiritual energy and activate it. Therefore, the talisman must have a strong ability to contain spiritual energy, otherwise it is impossible to do this.

The key issue is that Chen Han doesn't have the materials needed to make cinnabar.

This is just ridiculous.

Is it impossible to succeed at the very first step?

Fortunately, he immediately thought of the weapon-refining furnace in his family's cave.

This refining furnace is somewhat like a rule-based magic weapon. If you put something in it to refine, it has a chance to be given +1 or +2 attributes.

Therefore, if cinnabar is put into the refining furnace, it may be able to acquire the property of containing spiritual energy.

Chen Han acted immediately, taking out a small bag of cinnabar and a container from the game system.

These are also the Taoist items he keeps in his game inventory.

After all, he's the head of the Chen family now, and a Taoist priest in purple robes. There's always a time when he'll need it, just like now, isn't it?
Moreover, this is not ordinary cinnabar; it is premium cinnabar, which cannot be bought outside and can only be obtained by people within the Taoist sect.

Without hesitation, Chen Han took some out of the bag and put them into the refining furnace.

He didn't just put the bag in directly, because it would be embarrassing if it didn't work the first time.

Because only a little cinnabar was used, the refining process was very fast, and it was finished in no time. However, when he put the refined cinnabar into his game inventory, an awkward situation arose.

【Cinnabar (Refined): This cinnabar has been refined in the weapon-refining furnace and possesses a special effect: Increases spiritual energy capacity by 2.】

"Damn!" Chen Han was impressed.

If he had known that it would have this property on the first try, he would have just put the whole bag of cinnabar in.

So now it's one bag plus 2?
He didn't put too much into the current refinement; it wasn't enough to inscribe the runes needed for a puppet.

So he immediately put some more into the refining furnace and continued refining.

This time it was even more embarrassing. After refining it, they opened the furnace, only to find a black mess inside, clearly indicating that the refining had failed.

I put it in a third time, and it was still a dark, mushy mess.

The fourth time... it was pitch black.

The fifth time... vibrant color +1.

This is a completely useless attribute effect.

No matter how bright the color is, it won't have the same effect as cinnabar.

It's not a beauty pageant.

the sixth time……

The seventh time...

...

Chen Han suddenly felt like he had been tricked.

Or perhaps the luck was used up on the first attempt, and after more than ten attempts, no more cinnabar with +2 spiritual energy could be refined.

What the hell...

He could only continue refining, refusing to believe in bad luck. Finally, after refining more than half a bag of cinnabar, he had another stroke of luck and successfully refined cinnabar with a +2 attribute of spiritual energy twice in a row.

That way, the quantity will be sufficient.

Without hesitation, Chen Han took a complete set of parts from the mecha parts he had previously crafted and set them aside.

Then he took out the brush and inkstone needed to draw the runes.

However, he still needed to go outside to fetch the rootless water, so he left the family cave and headed straight for the back mountain.

Now that we have the spring water, we don't need to wait for the morning dew.

Chen Han's hurried ascent up the mountain attracted the attention of many tourists.

The back mountain has now been well developed, and the mountain paths leading up and down are all made of bluestone steps. Because of the Lingquan spring, this path is also the one most frequently visited by tourists.

There is now a saying: "If you don't taste the water of the Spirit Spring, your trip to the Chen family will be in vain."

Tell me if you want to come up the mountain when you come to the Chen family.

However, the three ornamental forests owned by the Chen family have already been developed and completed, which has aroused the curiosity of many tourists.

While pine, bamboo, and plum trees are beautiful to look at individually, they are not particularly remarkable. Their ornamental value is maximized when they are planted in large groups.

Fortunately, the area of ​​Chen's three ornamental plant forests is large enough to be very attractive from a distance, especially the ornamental bamboo forest, which is quite picturesque.

Chen Han quickly ascended the mountain, attracting many tourists going up and down. This Chen family head was so famous that naturally, they wanted to film a video of him.

It's a pleasant surprise that we were able to film the head of the Chen family at the Chen family's residence, and uploading it online has garnered a lot of attention.

Therefore, most tourists who encounter this Chen family head will take out their phones to shoot a video and upload it online, hoping to ride the wave of popularity.

In fact, these tourists didn't realize that they were indirectly helping Chen Han increase his popularity, add to his traffic pool, and generate more buzz.

Chen Han soon arrived at the Spirit Spring, where a large stone tablet stood with ancient inscriptions telling a story.

It is said that this spiritual spring was discovered by the Chen family ancestor, Daoist Qingfeng, during a discussion with Daoist Ziqing, one of the five patriarchs of the Southern School.

Master Ziqing naturally learned the art of "Dianquan" (a magical spring technique), and then created a spiritual spring in both the Southern School and Longhu Mountain. However, the spiritual springs in both places were damaged for various reasons and lost their magical effects.

The spiritual spring of the Chen family was previously buried underground and well protected. It was only after the Chen family head and the Taoist priests verified the feng shui technique for finding springs that they found the spiritual spring and brought it back to light.

Anyway, the story of the sacred spring spans hundreds of years and is shrouded in mystery.

If this happened in another place, nobody would believe it. But since feng shui has been proven recently, it also needs to be included in the scientific realm.

Most importantly, the effects of this spiritual spring water are truly miraculous.

Therefore, this story is undoubtedly true and full of legendary elements.

With a history spanning hundreds of years, this is a sacred spring that has witnessed the passage of time and the rise and fall of history.

Therefore, even this stone tablet has become a popular spot for tourists to take photos.

When Chen Han arrived, some tourists were taking pictures in front of the stone tablet. He also filled some spiritual spring water and went down the mountain. He returned to the Chen family and entered the family cave. He took out the tools for grinding cinnabar and began grinding cinnabar with the spring water.

The runes of a novice puppet must be engraved inside the puppet, because if they are engraved on the outside, they will be easily damaged during battle, causing the runes to become ineffective and the puppet to become useless.

The runes drawn on using talismans are different from the integrated rune parts on demonic puppets.

Therefore, it is safer to have the talisman drawn inside the component.

The runes are also divided into three types: one is a rune that contains spiritual energy to drive the puppet's movement; another is a rune that activates the spirit stone, causing the spirit stone's energy to surge out; and the last type is naturally a rune that is operated by sensing.

The three runes must be combined, especially the third rune, which is also the key to controlling the puppet.

Simply put, it does resemble the circuitry of modern batteries.

The third type of rune is somewhat similar to a remote control, while the second type is an electrical reaction that allows the transfer of positive and negative electrons and ions.

Spirit stones are like batteries; the spiritual energy within them consists of positive and negative single electrons and ions.

As for the first type of rune, it's even simpler; isn't it just based on the conversion principle of a terminal motor?
Thinking about it this way, it seems like this actually has something to do with physics.

Chen Han channeled his true energy into the talisman brush and drew the three types of talisman patterns inside the components one by one. Afterward, he also took out five primary spirit stones and placed them in the center of the five talismans.

But a miracle happened: when the primary spirit stone was placed on the rune, it seemed to be attracted to it and did not fall off.

After finishing all that, Chen Han was troubled by a new problem.

That is the spirit-guiding pattern.

This thing wasn't drawn with cinnabar ink.

Although there are many materials that can be used to draw spirit-guiding patterns, it seems... he might not have them.

Spirit-guiding patterns are different from talismanic patterns. They are actually the grooves and patterns that connect to talismanic patterns, and their function is to guide spiritual energy.

Once activated, the five inlaid spirit stones release spiritual energy, which needs to be transported to the corresponding rune locations to activate the puppet's movements. This transportation is crucial and requires the use of spirit-guiding runes.

Spirit-guiding patterns are usually carved using materials that are very strong at guiding spiritual energy.

That's right, the carving is done first, then the patterns are drawn on.

It requires no technical expertise, but it demands extremely high-quality materials.

The key issue is that he doesn't have that kind of material.

He had intended to master this basic puppetry technique step by step, but the second step dealt him another heavy blow, completely severing his path to mastery.

Then the mission is doomed.

"Damn it!" Chen Han cursed, suddenly feeling like he'd been played. He thought the game system was giving him a basic puppetry skill for free, so why not take it? Turns out it was useless.

But just as he was about to give up, he remembered it.

If spirit stones are batteries, then can these spirit-guiding patterns be seen as circuits?

He thought of a hypothesis about a psionic circuit that he had seen online before, and it seemed feasible.

If there are no spirit-summoning runes, then use electronic circuits instead.

As long as it can guide spiritual energy, that's fine.

There's also controlling the puppet, which requires activating the inscribed runes and then sensing the spiritual runes inside the puppet, just like using a remote control.

Generally, a puppet card is made and controlled through the puppet card, but this requires the control of true qi.

Few members of the Chen family could activate it, because it consumed too much true energy. Junior Sister, with so little true energy, probably wouldn't be able to sustain it for long.

But now we live in a modern society with advanced science.

Since electronic circuits are being used to draw spirits into the puppets, is it possible to not use conventional puppet tokens?

Could we create an electronic circuit and add a spirit stone function device to the remote control, making it just like a remote control?

As long as a little true energy is input when activating it, the rest of the energy will be provided by the spirit stone as the energy source.

Another issue is that the operation requires mental focus and multitasking. Is there any way to assist in making it more convenient?
That is similar to a brain-computer interface (BCI) device, which is a device that allows the brain to directly interact with the outside world. These devices are now very advanced, and many AR glasses can do this, which can be used in conjunction with various games.

This is helpful for auxiliary operation. As long as one cultivates a trace of true qi, one can initially activate the runes and spirit stones to input spiritual energy. Then, as long as the spiritual energy of the spirit stones is not exhausted, one can control the puppet indefinitely.

Chen Han couldn't help but sigh that the saying "technology changes lives, technology changes the world" was still applicable even in the world of cultivation.

Cultivating immortality also needs to evolve with the times.

Now, all he needs to do is figure out the electronic circuits, such as making connecting wires. These wires can't be ordinary wires; copper and the like simply can't guide spiritual energy.

Special materials are required.

He thought of the spirit stones that had exhausted their spiritual energy. He had never thrown them away, and now he could use them as materials.

However, he had no idea about BCI, a brain-computer interface, as he had never even looked into it.

He did think of Chen Qing (Chapter 328).

The other party was the head of the computer technology team for Chen's Maze, who managed the relevant technologies and needed to adjust and check the maze path every day. The QR code sensing facilities had to be effective and could not malfunction in the slightest.

He had previously proposed creating a complete set of virtual equipment to construct maze paths, which could simulate the maze's conditions.

Chen Xiaoyan approved it, and the items were purchased. He had seen them; there were several BCI-like brain-computer interface AR glasses.

Perhaps we could ask Chen Qing if it could be modified according to his requirements.

Thinking it over, Chen Han left the family cave and made a phone call to Chen Qing.

Inside an office in the Chen family's office area.

Chen Qing and several team members were wearing AR glasses. On the screen in front of them, they could see moving images, and in front of them were paths.

They were viewing the Chen's Maze Path virtually when a sudden phone call made Chen Qing immediately put down his AR glasses.

Seeing that it was the patriarch calling, he didn't dare to hesitate and answered, "Hello, patriarch!"

"Come to my yard," Chen Han ordered directly.

"Yes, Patriarch." Chen Qing hung up the phone and hurriedly went out to the Patriarch's courtyard. The more he understood the Chen family, the more power he gained. He knew the Chen family's strength and the Patriarch's authority.

Just the two Body Tempering Pills he can receive each month are something many rich people would beg for.
Someone like him doesn't even qualify for registration.

He quickly arrived at the patriarch's courtyard and respectfully inquired, "Patriarch, what are your orders?"

Chen Han cut to the chase and asked, "You're familiar with BCI technology, right? It's similar to a brain-computer interface. Is there any way to create one that can..."

He explained his requirements to Chen Qing, and most importantly, he detailed the reserved locations.

Chen Qing was stunned. He understood BCI and knew that modifying a terminal was necessary. He could even do it himself, having done some research on it.

Why is it that the main special lines of the house still need to leave blank areas for engraving talismans?
Does the patriarch intend to combine this with Taoist practices?

"Master, I'll give it a try, and I'll give it to you tomorrow." Chen Qing immediately agreed without asking any further questions.

The head of the family didn't ask him to redo the BCI technology; he just wanted to modify the interface and the blank areas.

The difference lies in the chip interface and function. As long as the original technology is not damaged, it is nothing more than adding an external interface connector.

I just don't know if his idea will meet the head of the family's requirements.

However, let's do it first and see how it goes.

Chen Han didn't waste any time either. After Chen Qing left, he took out the spirit stones that had run out of spiritual energy from the game's inventory.

Spirit stones can store spiritual energy and also have a good guiding effect on spiritual energy. If you use these to make electronic circuits, they can definitely guide spiritual energy.

The problem lies in how the wires and circuit boards are manufactured, but fortunately, we now have the technology to easily find out the specific techniques involved.

The production of electrical wires mainly revolves around three core steps: conductor → insulation → protection. The first step is conductor preparation, which uses spirit stones that have exhausted their spiritual energy.

First, these spirit stones, whose spiritual energy has been depleted, must be ground into small particles, and then stretched into linear shapes...

With Chen Han's current strength, he doesn't even need to rely on machines to crush and extend these things. Giving him two iron plates to crush and extend them would be more effective than using machines.

So, after a day and a night, he made the wires and simple circuit boards he wanted, and put them into the furnace to refine them.

His eyes lit up when he took the two items out and put them in the game inventory to check the notes.

[Special Wire: This wire was made from spirit stones that had exhausted their spiritual energy and was refined in a weapon-refining furnace. It possesses a special effect: Guides spiritual energy +1.]

I took another look at the simple circuit board, and it had the same properties.

very perfect.

Without further hesitation, Chen Han directly used the simple circuit board made with wires to connect the spirit-guiding patterns to the puppet parts. He then connected the spirit-guiding patterns, which were represented by the wires, to the circuit board, and used runes to connect the corresponding runes to the circuit board.

After that, quickly assemble the +1 mecha model.

Although it's not as imposing as the magical puppet, the fact that this mecha model sells for such a high price means that its appearance is absolutely perfect and imposing.

Furthermore, after being refined in the furnace, their texture became even more perfect. The key is that the four attributes after refinement have made them no longer ordinary parts. Even if the higher-ups knew about them, they would be envious.

After completing all of this, Chen Han only needed the BCI control component made by Chen Qing. Not long after he left the family cave, Chen Qing contacted him and gave him the completed BCI control component, which was modified from an AR glasses device.

Chen Qing had obviously added an extra plug-in board. Upon opening the casing, it was clear that this method could avoid disrupting the original design while still meeting his requirements, especially since the reserved space was sufficient for drawing symbols and connecting electronic circuits.

Without hesitation, he took the item, placed it on the table, took out the prepared cinnabar from the game inventory, picked up the talisman brush, and began to draw the talisman in the blank space.

Chen Qing stood to the side, his face full of surprise, especially when he saw the patriarch take out wires and a simple circuit board, using these to construct electronic circuits and connect runes.

They even drew runes on the circuit board, and more importantly, they took out a crystal and placed it on the runes.

The key thing is that the crystal seemed to be absorbed, and it didn't move at all.

This……

Has the patriarch truly combined Taoist practices with technology?

Does Taoist practice evolve with the times?

After finishing his work, Chen Han hurriedly left the courtyard, went to the General Affairs Hall, and went directly into the family's cave dwelling, wanting to give it a try.

After all, these were all designs he made haphazardly on his own, and he didn't know if they would work or if there would be any circuit problems.

You'll only know if you try. If it doesn't work, you can just redesign it. Find some professionals in physical circuits; I don't believe it can't be fixed.

Thinking about it, he put on the AR glasses that were similar to those used in the BCI facility. This version was already the most advanced, but it was still very large and heavy.

After that, he mobilized a wisp of true energy within his body and activated the spirit stones in the BCI facility. The spiritual energy surged out and instantly connected to the special electronic circuit he had created.

He clearly felt the AR glasses vibrate slightly, indicating that they had been activated, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

As he manipulated it, he could feel the runes inside the +1 J-16 mech being activated, and the puppet being launched.

Then, the model actually came to life, walked forward, and came to him.

In other words, it's a success; you can control this rudimentary puppet without the puppet card.

Chen Han could no longer hide the joy on his face.

This really gave him a sense of accomplishment, after all, it was the first time he had truly combined technology with cultivation in reality, which was an absolutely incredible experience.

He directly controlled a +1 mech component from the side and hurled it at the novice puppet, while simultaneously controlling the novice puppet to slash with its sword, directly chopping the component aside.

Obviously, it's nowhere near as powerful as a level 1 magic puppet being cleaved in two by a single sword strike. However, the +1 component was also slashed open.

Keep in mind that component also has a +1 durability attribute.

If you go and bully those robot mech league things, you'll just cleave them in two with a single sword strike. Isn't that just bullying people?
But since the other party has come to him seeking humiliation, and he has even triggered a quest, there's no reason not to do it.

Let's have a fierce battle at this puppet fighting tournament held by the Puppet Sect, where sparks fly and circuits spew fire!
So he took out his phone and recorded a video of the novice puppet, then logged into Douyin, posted the video, and even tagged the Robot Mech League, indicating that he would participate in the Robot Mech League.

Originally, this matter was supposed to have cooled down in a couple of days, but with Chen Han's video, the popularity instantly soared to its peak again.

This then caused even greater upheavals.

Is Patriarch Chen really going to use this thing to participate in the robot mech league?

Are you sure you're not joking?

……
