Wizard: I have ten trillion nanomachines

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Luo Kunlun has been at sea for half a month.

They traverse the vast ocean, searching for hidden extraordinary creatures and absorbing their bloodlines to accumulate resources.

At the same time, he hones his skills in manipulating gravity magic, and occasionally dives into the vicinity of underwater volcanoes to absorb the heat and mineral elements in the magma.

In addition, he chose a lava cave formed after an underwater volcanic eruption as a temporary base.

The cave is filled with metallic elements, which makes it easy for Lokunlun to mine raw materials and provides a natural heat source for the forging of floating cannons.

Lokunlun disassembled some of his own scales and deep-sea minerals to officially launch the research and development and manufacturing of floating cannons.

The floating cannon is designed to have the following structure.

The propulsion engine enables the floating cannons to fly autonomously and maneuver, allowing for flexible movement and attacks.

An optical photography system is used to capture target information, enabling aiming and tracking.

The beam cannon, as the primary offensive weapon, can fire powerful beams for long-range strikes.

The control system receives and processes instructions converted from the pilot's brainwaves, controlling the flight, aiming, and firing actions of the drones.

There's no problem with forging the cannon barrel; you just need to forge the metal into a shuttle-shaped object about the height of a person.

But the internal structure, especially the control system, is very complicated; you need a computer to do that.

Dedicated embedded computers are small in size and must withstand harsh environments such as high temperature and high pressure.

It's not impossible to make it by hand, but it's too troublesome, and Luo Kunlun wanted it to be more durable.

If there were an easier way...

It really does.

That is "wet parts".

Using a brain grown with biotechnology as the computing core.

The combination of an organic human brain and machinery is the CPU core of the various machines in Warhammer.

It does resemble Luo Kunlun's current life form somewhat.

"Speaking of which, I should now be able to actively split and manufacture nanomachines."

The original nanomachines were not very intelligent, so they naturally couldn't perform things like division and proliferation.

However, with various improvements made by Lokunlun, its performance was greatly enhanced.

It can't reproduce as quickly as bacteria, but given more time, it should be close.

By using nanomachines to manufacture the control and optical imaging systems, the floating cannons themselves become part of Lokunlun, making them even easier to control.

As for the power engine and beam cannon, Lokunlun can manufacture them himself.

Similar items already exist among the alchemical creations of the Wizarding World; Lokunlun only needs to refer to them and make improvements.

..............

Time flies, and a year has passed in the blink of an eye.

Above the lava cave, in the sea, two shuttle-shaped metal objects, each the size of a person, are flying at an astonishing speed—a full Mach 10!

"Good speed. Next, let's try the beam bubble."

With a thought, Luo Kunlun controlled the floating cannons to fire.

The two floating cannons instantly adjusted their posture, and a blinding white light condensed at their muzzles, shooting two condensed beams straight towards the sea surface.

The seawater instantly boiled, forming a giant column of steam with a diameter of 15 meters and a height of over 50 meters.

The steam contained water vapor and a small amount of hydrogen gas from the decomposition of seawater. A boiling zone with a diameter of 8 meters appeared on the sea surface, bubbling continuously for several minutes. The temperature of the surrounding seawater rose, and a large number of fish and other marine life died.

Those two beams just now had an output power of 1 ℃, and that wasn't even the upper limit.

Luo Kunlun did not intend to test it any further; based on all of the above, this pair of weapons was already quite powerful.

It was worth the year he spent building it.

After that, Luo Kunlun put away his weapons and then dived into the ocean.

We have everything we need; it's time to continue exploring the ocean.

............

A few days later, a sea filled with fog.

The lead-gray fog, like thick, unyielding ink, enveloped the entire sea area completely.

The sails of the "Breaking Waves" were lowered, and the sound of the keel cutting through the sea was exceptionally clear in the deathly silence, yet not even the waves three feet away could be seen.

On the deck, "Damn it, why is it foggy for days on end?" One-Eyed Dragon cursed as he looked at the endless fog around him.

"Do you think we're being targeted by some kind of monster?" a short, stout man beside him couldn't help but ask.

As a sailor who made a living at sea, he knew how many monsters lurked in the ocean.

The fish-man tribe hidden beside the reef, the three-headed sea serpent that can bite through the ship's planks in one bite, and those deep-sea monsters that only exist in legends and can kill an entire ship's crew.

"What's there to be afraid of!" The one-eyed man scoffed, patting the curved sword at his waist, the scabbard clinking together. "It's not like I haven't seen fishmen before."

"Those scaly beasts are at most about the same strength as the farmers on the shore; they only show off their swimming skills."

"As long as there aren't any seductive bewitching demons like siren, I'll kill as many as they come!"

"Even if there are, we're not afraid!" He changed the subject, his tone becoming more confident. "Don't forget, our destination is the Southern Continent, and there's more than one wizard on board! If we encounter sirens or three-headed sea serpents, the wizards will take care of them."

Before he finished speaking, a series of dull thuds came from below, as if something hard was frantically hammering at the bottom of the ship.

Immediately afterward, a shout pierced the fog: "There's something under the ship! Something's shoving at the ship!"

"It's a fishman! Damn beast!" The one-eyed dragon's expression changed drastically. His single eye widened instantly, and he drew his scimitar with a swift motion, the cold light flashing through the mist.

The other sailors also realized what was happening and grabbed harpoons and axes. Having lived on the edge of a knife for many years, they naturally had some understanding of these humanoid creatures.

"Kill them! We'll exchange their corpses for a reward!" Someone shouted first, and then countless angry roars echoed across the deck.

The sailors rushed to the ship's side, some leaning over to thrust their weapons into the seawater below, while others picked up wooden barrels from the deck and smashed them into the water.

The mist mixed with seawater splashed up, blurring the vision. All that could be heard was a sharp hissing sound from underwater, and the "crack" of the ship's planks being continuously hammered. It was as if the bottom of the ship would be torn open at any moment, causing the entire ship and everyone on board to sink to the cold seabed.

Just then, a song suddenly came from the mist.

The singing was as sweet as a stream flowing among coral reefs, yet it possessed a captivating magic, washing over the entire ship like an invisible tide.

The sailors' movements gradually slowed, and their eyes became unfocused.

Some people dropped their weapons and walked toward the ship's side, as if drawn by the song toward the embrace of the ocean.

Some even brandished swords at thin air, treating their companions as enemies.

"It's a siren! It's a tide summoner!"

"Quickly, invite those officials!"
