Douluo Continent, Huo Yuhao who returned from Sekiro

Chapter 587 Unmanned Warfare (8K)

On one hand, they need ample cash flow as reserves for the next round of purchases and to maintain the normal operation of their subordinate organizations; on the other hand, they need a large amount of rare metals to quickly enhance the academy's foundation. Faced with a crisis that may come at any time, the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

No one rashly asked Huo Yuhao how such a large quantity of rare metals should be transported. Huo Yuhao said that he could bring the rare metals, and that was enough.

During the time it took to finish discussing other matters, Huo Yuhao finally regained his senses. Sitting on equal footing with the elders was quite unsettling, but fortunately, his mental fortitude was excellent, and he gradually calmed down after a brief period of tension.

"Yuhao, how's it going? Can you tell us about the new gear you showed off all night?" After finishing discussing other matters, Yan Shaozhe turned his gaze to Huo Yuhao with a smile.

Huo Yuhao didn't say much, but took out the items one by one, the first being a level seven sealed milk bottle.

"Esteemed elders, please offer your assessment?"

Huo Yuhao handed the baby bottle directly to Qian Duoduo, who was standing next to him. Qian Duoduo looked at the level seven baby bottle with some confusion. After examining it carefully, she suddenly shuddered.

"Holy crap!"

Qian Duoduo immediately swore.

Xian Lin'er, sitting next to Qian Duoduo, glanced at him with displeasure: "Why are you making such a fuss inside the Sea God Pavilion?"

Xianlin'er took the sealed baby bottle from Qian Duoduo and examined it carefully for a few moments.

"Holy crap!"

The husband and wife are in harmony.

The other elders reacted similarly. At first, they were all wondering what was so surprising about a level seven baby bottle, since it wasn't level eight. But when they saw that it was a sealed baby bottle, they almost spat out the tea they were drinking.

"Yuhao, is this also your masterpiece from the past two and a half years???"

Qian Duoduo's eyes widened. This shouldn't be possible. How could such a technological breakthrough be achieved in just two and a half years?

It seems that Huo Yuhao's main focus is not on the field of energy storage, right?

"That's definitely not it."

Huo Yuhao said, "This is the technological output of Teacher Xuan Ziwen from Mingde Hall. He and I are currently working on new soul tools in the field of precision phase control. Many soul tools need to be released manually, such as this one."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao took out another soul-guided gyrocopter and inserted the milk bottle directly into the gyrocopter's power supply slot.

"The original gyrocopter's maximum flight time after being injected with soul power and released from the hand would not exceed five minutes. Now, with the continuous power supply from the milk bottle, even if it is just a level four sealed milk bottle, the flight time can exceed one hour."

"Equipped with such a gyrocopter controlled by mental power, each Soul Master is essentially given a simplified version of mental detection. It's not very useful during Soul Battles in the Academy, but once you enter scenarios like Soul Hunting or Legion Wars, the value of a gyrocopter that can obtain a large amount of intelligence at low cost should still be quite high."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao used his mental power to control the gyroplane, which then flew up and hovered above the heads of the elders of the Sea God Pavilion with a buzzing sound.

"The noise emitted by a gyroplane during flight is basically undetectable at an altitude of 200 meters or higher, and almost invisible at an altitude of 500 meters or higher, so it has practical value in combat."

"The only pity is that it requires at least a Soul Master of the Soul Sect level to control, and it also requires the Pure Purple Gold Helmet to accurately concentrate and control one's mental power."

"The difficulty of developing this soul tool should not be too high. It only requires level 4 optical soul tool, level 4 power supply soul tool, and level 4 soul tool thruster technology as prerequisites, and then some new technologies can be combined to make it. It should be fine as a practice project for the first semester of the inner academy courses."

You call this a practice piece?

The many elders of the Sea God Pavilion are all shrewd and naturally know how valuable this thing is. Even though this kind of soul tool has a high requirement for mental strength, Soul Masters at the Soul Sect level still need an expensive pure purple-gold helmet to master it successfully.

However, on the battlefield, information is almost priceless. In large-scale operations, such a rotorcraft may not be very valuable, but large-scale operations only happen a few times. More often, there are small-scale operations like the one involving the orange.

In Soul Hunting or small-scale battles, having such a gyroplane is basically equivalent to having a Huo Yuhao who can't fight. From this perspective, its importance is absolutely self-evident.

This is almost a complete subversion of the traditional Soul Master-Soul Tool combat strategy. What's more, the gyroplane can also carry various entry-level small lethal Soul Tools. If operated properly, a well-trained gyroplane operator could easily take down a squad without the enemy noticing.

For a moment, the expressions of all the elders changed.

Huo Yuhao is not just someone who can guarantee Shrek Academy's safety for the next five hundred years, as Elder Mu said. He is practically a potential war king. If the Sun Moon Empire launches a war while Huo Yuhao is in charge of the Sea God Pavilion, can't they be defeated by Yuhao's counter-offensives in a few rounds?

Before the elders could react, Huo Yuhao took out the armor backpack from last night and placed it on the table of the Sea God Pavilion. Even though he handled it gently, the elders could still tell that the backpack was actually quite heavy.

Under Huo Yuhao's mental control, the backpack clicked open, and six thick mechanical arms emerged, as if they had come to life. Two of the mechanical claws gripped the ground, supporting the backpack as it wobbled, while the remaining mechanical claws swung rapidly, demonstrating their excellent maneuverability.

"etc?"

Elder Xuan was astonished by this sight: "This armor backpack can also be used hands-free?"

War without humans!

These were the first four words that Elder Xuan thought of, and the other elders clearly thought of the same thing as well, their eyes even showing a hint of inexplicable fear.

With a sealed baby bottle as a source of soul power, the soul master's mental power controls the soul tool's actions. Combined with the terrifying firepower of this armor backpack, even if the soul master is only controlling it remotely, the power it unleashes is immeasurable.

Even these elders would feel fear when faced with such fearless soul-guided machines. After all, what's the point of destroying such a soul-guided device if you don't kill the controller?

This is exactly the idea that Huo Yuhao got from the battle against the undead legion. As long as the mental power is sufficient, the controller can still remotely control the armor to fight even if he does not go to the battlefield. Isn't this the most commonly used method of necromancers?

Huo Yuhao simply transferred all of this to the soul tool.
