Chapter 19: Making a Puppet

In the next long period of time, Owen was not busy learning how to make puppets, but instead exchanged the Spiritual Power Meditation, spending a whole month to learn how to control the surging spiritual power, during which the progress value accumulated was used to exchange the tools required by the puppeteer, as for exchanging the Magic Summoning Technique, on the contrary, there was no hurry, because he found that the puppeteer was really interesting, far from being as simple and primitive as he had imagined at the beginning.

Just look at the tools used by the puppeteer, not only is it very fine, but it also has the special attribute of spirit conduction, so the progress value needed to exchange it is quite a lot, Owen spent a whole month’s time before he barely managed to get it all together.

However, his efforts and waiting were not in vain, when the initial control of spiritual power was achieved, the dungeon chamber had already been built into a primary puppeteer’s workshop.

At this moment, a pot of lantern grass was placed in each of the four corners of the dungeon chamber, and the soft and bright light made the place appear to be a millimetre, and a large and heavy multifunctional workbench was placed in the middle position, which was very conspicuous.

Puppeteer was a profession that relied heavily on tools and materials, so a multifunctional workbench was indispensable, this would save the puppeteer from the tedious and boring manual work, and enter the era of high-precision machining, so although it cost Owen a lot of progress value, it was worth it.

It was not easy to be almost ready, looking at the accumulated progress value, Owen held back his excitement and sat in front of the workbench, and began to familiarize himself with the functions of the workbench.

The workbench was very precise, with a variety of processing functions, from splitting and polishing wood to processing gear bearings, all of which could be done, in addition to the two mechanical arms that could both break and bend steel bars as well as carve flowers on meters.

The only drawback was that there was no computerized control, resulting in all the processing needing to be guided by mental power, so the slightest lapse of concentration on the part being processed by the operator would result in the part being scrapped.

However, the higher the mental power, the stronger the control, the higher the strength and precision of the processed parts, which is also the reason why becoming a puppeteer requires spiritual enlightenment to open the mental power.

Now that everything was ready, Owen planned to make his first work.

Speaking of making, it would be better to say assembling, after all, designing a puppet out of thin air, Owen definitely couldn’t do it now.

The good thing is that the puppeteer this game can not be hardcore to the extent that it is not a graduate student can not even get started, in fact, each kind of puppet has a variety of models of universal accessories, after the purchase of the original basis can be modified, as long as do not be too exaggerated, do not ask for too much, assembly of a puppet is not much more difficult than the modification of four-wheel-drive vehicles.

Now Owen was faced with many choices, the first was the material.

According to the different materials, the golem was categorized into natural, mechanical, biological and hybrid, using plant materials, metal materials, biological materials and composite materials respectively.

Different materials would affect the final performance of the puppet, and whether it could achieve the effect of one plus one is more than two depended on the experience and talent of the puppeteer.

Owen thought for half a day, for the first time he didn’t intend to be too outrageous, and made one in a moderate way first.

First is the spine, which determines the overall structure of the puppet, such as height, weight, reaction, etc., and is also the core of the entire puppet framework.

Among several materials, Owen chose a general-purpose model silver alloy mechanical spine, which was characterized by sufficient sensitivity and high conduction performance

After exchanging it, the silver-white mechanical spine placed flat on the workbench appeared to be very high-tech, especially the densely packed metal wires on both sides, which would connect all the parts of the entire puppet body and play the role of nerve conduction, just this point alone made people feel very incredible.

Which is a puppet, is clearly a future style bionic robot.

But in fact, regardless of the system or the world, the classification of the puppet in front of him was still transcendent rather than technological, otherwise he could not afford to exchange this kind of high-tech level items with this progress value.

After secretly celebrating for a while, Owen proceeded to select the skeleton model. The chosen one was a warm yellow copper alloy lightweight skeleton, the strength was not high, but the toughness was good, the applicability was strong, and it was easy to process and shape.

The next step was to combine the two together, under the control of Owen’s spiritual power, the spine was grabbed by the robotic arm and smoothly placed onto the metal skeleton.

Injecting spiritual energy, the mechanical spine automatically fit onto the metal skeleton, while the dense metal wires on both sides were also pulled and fixed by the mechanical arm to various positions of the metal skeleton, playing the role of conduction.

For a complete puppet, just having a metal skeleton was far from enough, puppets were very precise constructs, so various metal parts were exchanged by Owen one after another, and installed into the interior of the skeleton for fixation.

Although without these parts the golem was also able to move, but these complex parts and structures were necessary because they could more efficiently convert energy into kinetic energy, and at the same time increase the attack and speed of the golem.

However, the most important thing was the puppet’s core, without it, this puppet in its initial form would just be a decoration.

There was not just one core, but two, which were the intelligent core that determined the puppet’s intelligence, and the energy core that determined the puppet’s energy reserve and power limit.

If the metal skeleton and the internal parts, Owen could still manufacture them through drawings, then the core could only make him despair.

Because of the special role, the core is made of high purity gem crystals and rare alloys, the interior is also engraved with complex to the extreme line, so fine that people are speechless, with his current mental strength, even if he enlarges it ten times, he can’t do it, if not for the exchange of progress value, Owen would not dare to choose this profession.

The fist-sized intelligent core was slowly installed by the mechanical arm inside the metal skull, while the energy core was installed to the connection between the spine and the rib cage.

As Owen activated the core with his spiritual power, the puppet began to vibrate continuously.

This was not a problem, but a way to activate the golem itself, which simply meant activating the metal skeleton and internal parts.

The smart core activated with a small amount of energy, but it wasn’t enough to activate the entire puppet, so the first time it followed the line to activate the energy core.

After the energy core was activated, the released energy didn’t scatter in all directions, but was channeled into the spine, and after the spine was regulated, it was then released to all parts of the puppet.

Under the stimulation of the energy, the metal skeleton and the internal precision parts constantly shook, but this shaking was more like a grinding between each other, until with a click, the golem was as if it was integrated, the metal skeleton and the internally mounted parts perfectly combined together, and there was not the slightest murmur emitted anymore.

The lifted metal skull completed the seal, and the unfolded metal ribs contracted back, firmly fixing the energy core and important parts in place.

Next in the key parts of the metal skeleton, Owen added some composite armor as protection.

However, from an overall perspective, the golem in front of him was more like a special model of Terminator.

Terminators all had a layer of synthetic flesh and blood skin, and the golem certainly had a similar product, and even more specialized options.
