Talent was important in learning things.
Some people could pick it up with just one look. This was a genius. Some people needed to work hard, put in some sweat, and practice repeatedly to pick it up. This was a talent. Some people learned very hard. What others learned in a day, they might not be able to understand in a hundred days. But if they really learned it, their foundation would be very solid and they might not forget it for the rest of their lives. This was a normal person. There were also people who could not learn it no matter how hard they tried. Their brains did not have the circuit to communicate in this aspect. This was also a normal person. Being a normal person was very pitiful. They could not take the initiative to control their own fate. Even learning something depended on whether they had talent in this aspect.
But other than geniuses, there was another kind of person who was like this. He or she might not understand a certain thing. They might not understand it even if others explained it to them.
But somehow, this person was able to learn a certain skill that others couldn't.
And he could use it better than others.
This.
This was a person with true talent!
Cheng Mingge was not a person with talent in battle. She was not good at fighting. But when it came to learning the Marionette Spell, she was more talented than a genius. After Lin Dong explained it once, she felt like she understood it but didn't. When she tried it again, she realized that it was very simple. Hence, she learned it without knowing it. She did not need Lin Dong's in-depth guidance. She could constantly understand this spell on her own. She could even develop something that was completely suitable for herself … The whole learning process could be said to be monstrous.
Qianjun and Ye Qianru were speechless. How could this work?
Don't talk about them.
Even a super genius like Yun You You, who could understand it easily, was very envious.
Yun You You could learn the Marionette Spell that Lin Dong imparted to her, but she would not go beyond the scope of what he imparted to her. She would not be able to understand something that belonged to her. She could perfectly meet Lin Dong's requirements. But it was impossible for her to form her own unique style. In the aspect of Marionette Spell, she would constantly have a deeper understanding and achieve higher achievements!
Talent and genius were two completely different things. Yun You You was a super genius, but in terms of the art of marionettes, she was not as talented as Cheng Mingge.
"It's so simple!" Cheng Mingge didn't understand why Qianjun and Ye Qianru couldn't learn it.
"We feel dizzy just listening to it." Qianjun was about to cry.
"Comparisons are odious." Ye Qianru sighed.
"You don't have to understand it completely. You just have to follow the instructions on it and it will come out naturally. It's very simple. You can all give it a try!" Cheng Mingge also imparted her experiences to Qianjun and Ye Qianru. It would have been better if she didn't mention it, but once she did, Qianjun and Ye Qianru became even more depressed.
I don't need to fully understand it?
All right!
You win!
She didn't know how long Qianjun and Ye Qianru had practiced. Anyway, Cheng Mingge could already use seventy-two threads to guide different targets in different trajectories. The two of them could only barely send out one thread to guide one target. They were still extremely clumsy. When they looked up and saw Cheng Mingge's acrobatic performance, the two of them instantly teared up.
"You only need to use twelve threads to control the marionettes. It's perfect control. It's useless to have more!" Cheng Mingge comforted them.
"But we can only send out one thread now!" Qianjun felt a heavy blow to his heart.
It would have been better if you didn't remind us.
Isn't it like pouring salt on the wound in our hearts?
Of course, this kind of comparison was also a kind of motivation. It made the two of them work harder and practice even harder.
Yun You You's mind wasn't on the marionettes. She learned this completely to control the marionettes to pass the test. There was no need for her to comprehend it in depth. When she reached the level of thirty-six strands of thought, she resumed her original cultivation. If she had free time, she would secretly challenge the higher-level Ox-Head Guardian. When Lin Dong came back from harvesting a large amount of wood, she would go and help him to create the marionettes.
The creation of the marionettes was not a problem.
But to make it move nimbly.
How to design it.
This was a big problem.
The mecha warriors in the anime looked very cool. All kinds of settings were extremely high-end, such as particle weapons, photon swords, and so on. There were also nuclear weapons and so on.
That was the second dimension. If it was changed to the third dimension, there would be a problem. Not to mention nuclear weapons, even making it move like a normal person — walking or waving its arms — would be extremely complicated designs. If the marionettes could have artifact spirits, then the problem would be simple. Lin Dong could create them and let them move on their own. This would save a lot of effort. However, the "marionettes" test in the Ox-Head Labyrinth of the Five Elements did not allow the appearance of artifact spirits. It must be a puppet with no consciousness at all. Otherwise, it would be restricted by the rules of forbidding martial arts.
"I can solve the problem of using marionettes. But this damned machine has all kinds of joints. It's so troublesome!" Lin Dong was not a professional in this field. Even designing a marionettes that imitated the enemy's marionettes was a headache.
"Don't worry, we have enough time." Yun You You comforted him patiently.
"Let's finish one hand first!" Lin Dong decided to start with the simplest part. But even so, he was still frustrated. If a mechanical hand had to move, it had to be as nimble as a normal person's arm. To make the fingers move and grasp the swords, it would be an extremely complicated design. Not to mention that the material was all made of wood.
Fortunately, Lin Dong could imitate the marionettes in the arena.
He would modify it after copying it.
He did not know how long it took.
The arm was finally completed. Using the marionettes, he found that it did feel a little like controlling it.
Fighting was Lin Dong's talent. Designing machinery was a hundred percent hard work. Fortunately, he could copy it. Otherwise, even if Lin Dong had ten times the time, he would not be able to make a mobile mechanical arm.
"How about this, I'll make some arms first. You guys practice first. I'll go out and find someone to help design the overall structure of the marionettes. We definitely won't be able to defeat them with just a copy. Moreover, defeating one marionette might increase the difficulty. If two, three, or four come out, we won't be able to pass the test if we don't have an overwhelming victory and absolute confidence. " Lin Dong decided to leave the professional things to the professionals. He had no experience in designing machinery, so why not go out and find someone to help?
There was strength in numbers.
He could ask Elder Yan and the others to help him gather experts from all over the country. By brainstorming, they would definitely be able to design a powerful mech.
Actually, it was not that there were no talents in this field in the country. On the contrary, there were not many talents in designing machinery. It was just that without enough power and driving procedures, the mech that they made would be a piece of scrap metal no matter how beautiful it was.
Lin Dong made more than ten marionettes' arms.
He took four of them out and left the rest for Yun You You and Cheng Mingge to familiarize themselves with and practice with.
In the next test, it was necessary to learn how to move the arms and how to control them to attack and defend. Otherwise, it would be impossible to pass!
Peach Blossom Gorge Military Base.
"Mecha?" Elder Yan's mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it.
"You want to research a mech that can walk in human form?" An Old Fox was also very shocked.
"Do you have any relevant researchers? I need their help! " Lin Dong didn't stand on ceremony with them. The military definitely had research in all aspects. Even if it wasn't practical, they wouldn't give up on designing. For example, before the jet plane was put into service, the designers had already started to design the blueprints of how the space shuttle would fly out of the atmosphere after the N generation.
There was such a thing as technical reserves.
Even if it wasn't practical.
Just theory.
Or maybe modern technology might as well turn it into reality. However, the designers wouldn't give up on this research direction.
"We do have the blueprints. It's just that … it's not that this thing can't be manufactured. It's just that we don't have enough energy to drive it! Even if it's manufactured, what's the use of a pile of steel? Electricity, oil, magnets, any kind of energy can't make it move normally. We have actually thought of researching a batch of such things to represent the tanks. However, it's not possible. The technological barrier can't be broken. The tanks that have been used for decades still have to be used! " Elder Yan didn't have enough understanding in this area. However, he found a military officer. This middle-aged man with thick glasses entered the room and before he could even sit down, he started to complain to Lin Dong.
"Chen Shi, I asked you to explain the situation. Why are you saying all this?" When Elder Yan heard this, he was so angry that he almost laughed. Why are you saying all this? Now that Lin Dong asked if you could design it, can't you just answer him directly?
"If you want to see the blueprints, I brought them!" The military officer named Chen Shi brought a big bag of blueprints.
"How many mechas are these?" Lin Dong realized that there were too many blueprints to look at.
"How many? This is a partial one! "Chen Shi shook his head.
"Let's look at mine first!" Lin Dong was dumbfounded. He quickly took out the blueprints of his imitation arena puppet.
"Who drew this? This is too crude! "Chen Shi wanted to slam the table and criticize it. How dare this kind of graffiti be called a blueprint? However, everyone in the room was a high-ranking leader. He stood up and realized it. He quickly retracted his hand that was slamming the table. However, his principle was still the same. "There's no need to look at it. This is a toy blueprint. It's even worse!"
"What did you say?" Elder Yan was furious. He guessed that Lin Dong's blueprint might have been drawn by Lin Dong himself. How dare you say that this is a toy blueprint?
"Elder Yan, I have something to say. Please don't be offended. I don't know who drew this, but I can't accept this crude drawing. This is not a blueprint. Using it as a standard is a waste of work and machinery! Besides, this is just a drawing, not a design. This is just an empty shell. It's similar to those comics on TV. This is not a design. There isn't even a driver program in it. No, no, this is really a toy. It should be made for children to play with. It's more like a Transformer toy. How can it be used in our military? No, I don't agree! No matter who drew it, I won't agree. You are the leaders. I have to listen to your orders, but I also have to be responsible for my own work! "Chen Shi insisted on his principles.
"Sit down!" Elder Yan was afraid that he would hurt Lin Dong's feelings if he continued, so he quickly asked him to shut up.
"Let's continue to discuss my design. At least it has to be more reliable!" Chen Shi recommended everyone to look at his blueprints.
"If yours could work, the higher-ups would have already agreed! You sit down! Xiao Lin, what do you think about this? " Elder Yan looked at Lin Dong, hoping that he would make a decision. He didn't believe that Lin Dong would use a toy to deceive him. It was fine if this little brat didn't make a move. Once he made a move, he would be 100% serious.
"I drew the blueprints. Ah, it's not very good. I'm not a professional." Lin Dong smiled. How could he be angry with Chen Shi, an old military man who had more IQ than EQ?
Lin Dong kept the blueprints.
He then signaled Xiao Yuanlian and Hai Dongqing to bring the puppet arm in.
Chen Shi looked at the arm and immediately rushed up. His eyes were wide open. He was shocked. He muttered to himself, "Impossible! How can such a sophisticated mechanical arm be made with such a crude blueprint? Aiya, this is made of wood! How can you use wood to make it? Even if you don't have enough funds, you can't use wood to make it. How are you going to test the data if it's made of wood? No, we need to make a metal mechanical arm. We need to use the best alloy! These joints are too complicated and precise. No, the more complicated it is, the easier it is to have problems. Moreover, there are obstacles in the programming that are difficult to overcome. We need to simplify it. Five fingers are completely unnecessary. We don't need to be like humans. Three or even two fingers are enough! And these armors, this design is simply a crime. Because of the unnecessary appearance, too many parts and excessive weight are added to one arm. Not only does it not provide any real protection, it also affects the flexibility of the mechanical arm. This is really a superfluous design. No, I don't agree! "
No was Chen Shi's catchphrase. Since he entered the door, who knew how many times he had said no!
An Old Fox and Zhao Xin secretly laughed when they heard this.
Elder Yan had a helpless look on his face.
Lin Dong had even built such an intricate mechanical arm, and you still said you couldn't do it? Who was the real professional here …
