Chapter 318: Chapter 196: Mechanical Brain Worm? Mechanical Insect Clan?

According to the witches’ current research, as long as the runes on the altar are completely transformed into knowledge, it will bring her the true ability to convert magical substances without accident.

With magic power in hand, creating various substances will be a breeze.

It seems that once this technique is researched, Bai Yi can become completely self-sufficient and require no external resources.

But Bai Yi knows that this is unrealistic.

Magic power extraction is not infinite. Currently, magic power is being gathered throughout the territory, Bai Yi has already begun to faintly feel it.

Magic power itself can naturally originate, but the speed at which it originates is limited.

The current grand system known as "Bai Yi" is about to reach a limit in the efficiency of magic power extraction.

So much so that after You’s large-scale gathering of magic power, a slight magic power siphon phenomenon has appeared outside the magic power gathering circle.

Anyone with a certain sensitivity to magic power will notice a slight "wind" of magic power outside You’s ten-kilometer magic power gathering circle.

One can feel the outside magic power continuously being drawn inward, and eventually absorbed by the vast underground fungus blanket network and various creatures in the vicinity.

At present, the high concentration of magic power in the territory is equivalent to being supplied by a broader area.

It’s just that the current magic power gathering isn’t aggressive enough, so the outside only feels a slight "magic power breeze."

If the growth continues, it’s very likely the magic power environment on the outside will begin to decline spontaneously.

Although Bai Yi doesn’t have to worry about this problem in the short term, undoubtedly, it’s unrealistic for Bai Yi to rely entirely on magic power to supply resources within the territory.

Moreover, the creation of these resources can only be considered as "bottom-line" resources, sufficient for maintaining normal development.

But if Bai Yi wants to develop quickly, these resources won’t be enough and will still need external gains.

Only by continuously expanding outward can the current speed of development in the territory be maintained at all.

Just like in those games once played, no matter how much resource production is at home, the ultimate desire for development always necessitates external resources.

Moreover, the "Creation Runes" of these altars are used for freely producing resources, which is just the most basic and low-level utilization.

That’s the ability to create from the void!

If it can be combined with the metalization she’s currently researching...

If these runes are used on her future insect swarm or even on those "New Brain Clan."

Wouldn’t it mean they can break free from natural metal constraints and further enhance the application scope of their abilities?

The insect swarm can freely adjust its metal ratio to achieve different defense and spell effects.

The "New Brain Clan" can also pair with metalization to realize the self-generation of materials, repair the organism, and even create new components for itself, achieving self-upgrade!

"Hiss...

Thinking about it this way, this ’New Brain Clan’ is quite formidable.

It feels like their potential is completely on par with any existing species...

Not only have they achieved the free evolution that other species haven’t reached yet, but they’re also not inferior to the current insect swarms and witches in other respects.

They just follow a different path. The insect swarm focuses on itself, with life force and reproduction as the mainstay, while the witches predominantly focus on the magic side, and these ’New Brain Clan’ predominantly follow the mechanical path.

If all current technological knowledge is transformed into strength, it can completely serve as a brand-new warfare species...

In that case, just calling them ’New Brain Clan’ doesn’t seem quite appropriate anymore; they need a new name.

But what should this Muscle Brain be called?"

Bai Yi was momentarily perplexed. This unexpected, powerful new species wasn’t in her plan, and for a while, she hadn’t preemptively given them a name.

After thinking it over for the duration of a dinner, she could only temporarily name them "Brain Worm."

Classifying them into relatively independent insect swarm units.

After all, the predecessor of these "Brain Worms" was the ever-present brain machine within the territory, serving as the control core of the space freight network for the Brain Clan.

Brain Clan parasitize on the fungus blanket, and are a special unit coexisting with the fungus blanket; to some extent, they are considered part of the insect swarm.

Originally, Bai Yi hadn’t assigned a position for the Brain Clan, treating it merely as a building.

Now, she took advantage of the situation to complete the classification, all being categorized as part of the insect swarm, as certain branching paths within the insect swarm.

This was a long-held idea of Bai Yi’s.

Performing functional division based on different inclinations within the insect swarm, however, later the core insect swarm developed to be so versatile that classification was no longer necessary.

Instead, she eventually implemented this sub-classification idea onto the witches, resulting in the current various talented witch species.

Now, in a certain sense, she’s picking up this classification again.

"Ah, let’s temporarily decide that for now. After all, whether it’s the needs of the ’Brain Worms’ or the nurturing of the insect swarm itself, everything still awaits the metalization research in hand.

Fretting over it now is unnecessary..."

Aside from these studies, the remaining are the spells researched after You’s enhancement, and the personal research of those ordinary witches.

The former was summarized just this afternoon, and has already been included in the witch network, becoming part of the witch’s spell library.

Furthermore, it has been shared with other dungeon worlds through the church communication network.
