Wang Lin, upon whom high hopes were placed, looked at the blueprint of the All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
This All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool was an existence comparable to a tank, but compared to a tank, this All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool was extremely inconvenient.
Looking at the blueprint alone, it was a very strange object, a spherical shape two meters high in total.
Inside the sphere, there were three seats, one in the front and two in the back. The sphere was completely sealed, but there was a transparent window made of crystal in the middle.
The most critical part was that beneath the sphere, there were six mechanical legs made of metal. Each mechanical leg had three segments, and the ends of the mechanical legs were very sharp. The second segment of the six legs was raised, and the third segment connected to the bottom of the sphere. It looked like a strange six-legged spider.
The fact that this thing could be called an All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool made Wang Lin very curious.
appalling other aspects aside, just those six mechanical legs were enough to show that this thing definitely couldn't travel on terrain that was too hard or too soft.
It would easily slip or sink in. Moreover, judging from the introduction on the blueprint, the six mechanical legs of this thing were controlled separately.
This operation was too inconvenient. Which genius came up with this?
Watching Wang Lin's changing expressions, Xuan Ziwen asked: "Wang Lin, do you have any thoughts?"
"Teacher Xuan, this thing has absolutely no value for improvement, right? And who researched this? It feels like they went down the wrong path!"
Wang Lin gave his opinion directly. Logically speaking, this All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool shouldn't have appeared at all. The manuscripts Wang Lin provided contained a large number of mechanical structures. He had even fully explained the importance of wheels and mentioned track structures.
Hearing Wang Lin's words, Xuan Ziwen surprisingly didn't refute him. Instead, he nodded solemnly.
"You are right. This All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool indeed has no need for improvement. There are huge problems with this structure. Tell me your specific views, Wang Lin."
"First is these mechanical legs..."
Wang Lin explained the shortcomings of the All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool point by point, while simultaneously throwing out the concept of a tank.
"...Tracks can cope with most terrains, not to mention the difficulty of operation. A tracked structure only requires one person to operate..."
As he spoke, Xuan Ziwen nodded with satisfaction.
"Not bad. Your insight is even deeper than mine. The academy has researched this Soul Tool for a full thirty years. Aside from the technology of combining various Soul Tool arrays within it, the overall goal of this Soul Tool has completely entered a misunderstanding.
Its convenience and adaptability are completely inferior to the Soul Tool Tank Wang Lin just mentioned. But it is not without merit. The combination technology of various Soul Tool arrays within it is still worth learning for everyone.
Therefore, the All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool is also one of everyone's learning objectives. Look carefully at the Soul Tool array combinations inside."
After speaking, Xuan Ziwen pulled Wang Lin aside and took out a separate blueprint to hand to Wang Lin.
"Take a good look. This isn't much different from the concept of the Soul Tool Tank you mentioned."
Taking the blueprint, Wang Lin saw at a glance a Soul Tool named "Tracked All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool" that looked very similar to the All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool.
The difference between the two was merely replacing the mechanical legs with mechanical tracks. At the same time, the Tracked All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool had several small Soul Guide Cannons on it.
"Impressive!"
Wang Lin praised sincerely.
Before today, Wang Lin had never mentioned the structure of a tank to anyone. This Tracked All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool was obviously thought up by the academy's Soul Engineers themselves after hearing about tracks.
Clearly, the Soul Engineers of the Sun Moon Empire had already begun to utilize the knowledge Wang Lin released. This also fit Wang Lin's positioning of himself.
What he wanted to be was a guide, not a nanny. Therefore, except for the first few researches, he only taught basic knowledge and concepts later on.
He never mentioned any specific research again. The path was to be left for the Soul Engineers to explore themselves.
The Tracked All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool was the Sun Moon Empire Soul Engineers' own attempt. This was the healthy development of Soul Engineers.
Otherwise, if Wang Lin wanted to be a nanny, it would be the simplest thing. Countless inventions from his previous life were existing achievements.
It would be nothing more than replacing the functioning parts with Soul Tools. Wang Lin only needed to point out the direction of research directly to the Soul Engineers.
The Soul Engineers wouldn't need to think for themselves; they would only need to bury their heads in research according to Wang Lin's instructions, and peculiar inventions would soon be brought out one by one.
But this would be stifling the creative vitality of Soul Engineers, which was not what Wang Lin wanted to see.
"Not going to offer a bit of suggestion for improvement?"
Xuan Ziwen looked at Wang Lin, quite hoping Wang Lin would offer some suggestions, but Wang Lin did not do as he wished and directly returned the blueprint.
"It looks pretty good to me. Even if it needs improvement, it needs to be experimentally improved during actual operation. That is my small suggestion."
"Indeed."
Xuan Ziwen nodded and didn't insist. He put away the blueprint, let Wang Lin return to his seat, and began explaining the combination principles of various Soul Tool arrays in the All-Terrain Detection Soul Tool to everyone.
For the next few days, the Third Laboratory was studying the combination technology of Soul Tool arrays.
During this period, the newly joined Na Na would always inadvertently look at Wang Lin. Let alone Wang Lin, even Xiao Hongchen noticed something was wrong.
As a Spirit System Soul Master, no one could secretly look at Wang Lin without being detected by him, so Na Na's inexplicable gaze always affected Wang Lin's focus.
Finally, on a certain day when only Wang Lin and Na Na were in the laboratory, Wang Lin chose to lay his cards on the table directly with Na Na.
"You are from the Holy Spirit Cult, right!"
As soon as these words came out, Na Na knelt directly on the ground, her eyes turning red instantly.
"Please help me, Lord Holy Son!"
"Help you do what?" Wang Lin looked at Na Na with a frown.
"Please help me save the souls of my father and mother. I am willing to serve by your side forever."
Saying this, Na Na's body shook slightly, and her whole person instantly became illusory, but the clothes on her body remained in their original state.
Doing this indeed reminded Wang Lin of who exactly this Na Na was. Invisible telekinesis instantly burst out from his body, directly holding up the clothes Na Na was about to let slip off.
Na Na, whose body solidified again, saw that her clothes hadn't slipped off. She couldn't help but stare wide-eyed at Wang Lin. Wang Lin's cold voice sounded at this moment.
"Stand up. If you make a move like that again, I will kill you."
A trace of killing intent permeated from Wang Lin. Na Na, awed by the killing intent, stood up tremblingly, tears swirling in her eyes.
"Your Martial Soul is Ghost, right?"
Wang Lin's voice remained indifferent, turning a blind eye to the tears in Na Na's eyes.
"Yes!"
Seeing Na Na nod, Wang Lin thought to himself, Sure enough, it's the Ghost Na Na from the original work who had part of her soul taken by Huo Yuhao, ran to Huo Yuhao's room, and stripped herself clean.
