This puppeteer is a bit... well...

Chapter 9 Observation Instrument

Putting aside these small but nice surprises, upon completing the third and fifth year of check-ins, I also received a grand prize that was no less than the newbie reward.

It was precisely because of these two major awards that Ryuji gained the confidence to stand shoulder to shoulder with the gods in this world full of fatalism and bloodline theory, despite being a mere mortal.

[Ding! Sign-in successful, reward: 10 experience points]

After hearing the system notification in his mind, Ryuji glanced casually at the changes on the panel data and then focused on eating.

He was already used to these insignificant rewards.

"I'm done eating." Long Er put down his chopsticks and instructed, "Hong, I'm going to the underground studio. Let me know if anyone comes."

"Yes, Master."

Long Er nodded and got up to go to the underground studio.

The studio is small, about 60 square meters.

Materials were piled up in the corner, half-finished or abandoned puppets were placed next to them, and processing tools were placed in the central open space.

Most of the items are hand tools such as chisels, small axes, carving knives, and saws, with one or two machine tools for processing parts leaning against the wall.

Ryuji arrived in the middle of the house and formed a hand seal.

clack clack...

The sound of mechanisms turning filled the room, and the central floor opened automatically, revealing a dark passage leading to a lower level.

Long Er glanced around and, seeing nothing amiss, walked straight into the passage.

clack clack...

The mechanical clicking sounded again, and the floor closed automatically.

Long Er, flashlight in hand, walked up a long flight of stairs in the pitch-black passage, finally arriving at another space.

This is also a studio. The room is spacious and bright, filled with all sorts of impressive-looking equipment and instruments, giving one the feeling of being in the future.

Long Er approached the innermost piece of equipment.

This is a control panel with a crystal ball the size of a basketball suspended above it.

Ryuji took out a scroll, placed the Third Kazekage puppet on the control panel, and said, "Analyze this puppet for me."

Suddenly, the crystal ball lit up.

A beam of light shone down from inside, enveloping the puppet.

The crystal ball generated a dense array of data, all of which flashed by in an instant, making it impossible to discern what they were.

It takes about an hour.

The crystal ball stopped blinking and displayed clear data.

Name, weight, size, structure, principle, materials used in its manufacture... all the secrets of this puppet have been revealed.

"Let me see how it works."

As the words fell, the data inside the crystal ball changed, magnifying the principle section and filling the entire crystal ball.

The corpse preserves its life force using chakra, its limbs are severed, its abdomen is emptied, and mechanical prosthetics are used to replace them, retaining its original abilities while also giving it mechanical power.

"Isn't this just a living dead with a lot of prosthetics?"

Wow, it really is achieved through the principles of prosthetics!

So-called prosthetics are not just about limbs.

The heart, stomach, liver... these internal organs can also be replaced by machines.

In the real world, hospitals have advanced technologies that use mechanical organs to replace damaged organs in order to treat patients.

but.

The precision of the human body is unmatched by any machine.

No matter how exquisitely made or how high the density of those mechanical organs is, they cannot compare with the original organs in terms of function.

Therefore, people who have undergone mechanical organ replacement surgery will experience a decline in physical function.

But he is still a complete person, possessing all the functions of a human being.

The Scorpion puppet is made using this principle.

Although human puppets are made from corpses, they still possess all the qualities of a human. By using puppetry techniques to make the puppets move, one can unleash the abilities of the corpses in life.

But as I said before, the precision of the human body is unmatched by any machine.

Therefore, human puppets whose bodies were mostly modified into machines retained only a small portion of their abilities.

This sounds very unscientific.

But the world itself is not scientific.

The difficulty in creating human puppets lies not in modification, but in preserving the vitality of the corpse.

When a person dies, their life force dissipates.

Keeping a corpse alive... This was simply impossible for the science of my previous life.

But while it is difficult in this world, it is not impossible.

—Yang Dun (阳遁).

Chakra has seven transformations.

Aside from the commonly used elements of wind, fire, water, earth, and thunder, there are also two other variations: yin and yang.

Yin Dun, which originates from the spiritual energy that governs imagination, creates form from nothingness; Yang Dun, which originates from the physical energy that governs life, bestows life upon form.

The Sage of Six Paths skillfully used these two abilities to develop the technique of creating all things, "Yin-Yang Release".

Although later generations could not use these two abilities to the point of creating all things, they could still use them separately in a simple way.

For example, some basic illusion techniques or medical ninjutsu are applications of Yin Release and Yang Release.

It is not difficult to breathe life into a dead body and keep it alive forever.

"Aside from lacking a soul, the lies I casually made up in the round table conference room actually turned out to be true." Ryuji clicked his tongue in amazement.

"However, I'm not here to study human puppets. I'm here to deduce his complete body using the flesh and blood of the Third Kazekage as a blueprint."

As soon as the words were spoken, the data inside the crystal ball flickered away again.

This crystal ball is called an observation instrument.

This is Ryuji's third big prize.

It is bound to Long Er's brain, using the knowledge in Long Er's brain to analyze and deduce things.

The more complex the subject matter or the more intricate the problem being solved, the slower the process becomes and the longer it takes.

The complexity of things and problems depends entirely on Ryuji's understanding of them and the extent to which the knowledge in his mind helps in analyzing or deducing them.

Of course, this is because it is linked to the brain.

The conclusions drawn by the observation instrument will also appear directly in Ryuji's mind.

However, receiving too much information at once can put a heavy burden on the brain.

So Ryuji turned off this function, intending to turn it back on once his brain was strong enough to ignore the problem.

As for his understanding of the human body and puppets... Ryuji, who possesses all of Aozaki Touko's knowledge and has thoroughly read many famous books on mechanical engineering and human engineering from other worlds, is definitely a master-level master.

Therefore, the observation instrument quickly deduced a data model of the complete body of the third generation of Kazekage.

Facial features, body length, weight, facial characteristics, body fat percentage, muscle density, bone toughness and strength... The crystal ball displays the human data model of the Third Kazekage, surrounded by a dense array of data.

Long Er memorized the data and walked towards the other machine on the opposite side.

This is a computer connected to a control panel next to it, which has many light-emitting pens and robotic arms.

On the other side of the control panel, there is a sealed box with only a basketball-sized opening on top that can be closed freely.
