Chapter 102 The Conception of the Undead Cavalry [Ninth More]
"Your Highness, let me introduce you to the two research directions that our Academy of Sciences has initially determined!"
The Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain next to him spoke normally.
After this heavenly master took off his Taoist uniform and put on the official uniform of the Academy of Sciences, he lost a little bit of his ethereal immortality, but gained a little bit more popularity as a shrewd and capable person.
Zhu Biao actually thinks this is good.
"First, after our experiments, although this thing will choose humans as its host most of the time, there are also special cases that merge with animals and plants."
"However, after merging with ghosts and gods, those animals and plants will grow at an extremely fast speed, and even transform into extraordinary forms. This transformation is extremely unstable and the direction is unknown. Therefore, almost all animals and plants will grow in a very short time after merging with ghosts and gods.
death within the time.”
"This time can only last only a few days."
When Zhu Biao heard this, his heart couldn't help but move.
He suddenly thought of spiritual energy. After being nourished by spiritual energy, the characteristics displayed by both animals and plants are that their longevity is doubled and their stability is enhanced, but this demonic energy is just the opposite.
Is there any connection between this?
"So, we thought it could be used in breeding."
"As long as we find ways to weaken some of its instability after being integrated into plants, we may be able to speed up plant growth and even make plants evolve in the direction we want!"
"For example, the possibility of cultivating the kind of spiritual rice that His Highness mentioned before!" Ping An interjected from the side.
"This is not bad!" Zhu Biao's eyes lit up. This is indeed a direction that can be studied.
"There is a second research direction!"
Zhang Changshang turned his head and glanced at Zheng Yisao, the leader of the Hongqi Gang, who was sitting nearby.
"Holy Aunt, let me introduce you to His Highness first!"
Sister-in-law Zheng nodded when she heard this, bowed respectfully to Zhu Biao and then said: "In fact, ghosts and gods can not only fuse with living people, they can also attach themselves to dead people, to be precise, attached to dying people.
"
"Then through some special means, the person's soul is locked in the corpse to form a living dead."
"I have fourteen living dead guards under me, that's how I got here."
When Zheng Yisao said this, she couldn't help but sigh and said: "But this method is not original to me!"
"This is actually the Qing Dynasty's method!"
"Back when the Hongqi Gang was at its most powerful, I once captured a warrior who specialized in arresting ghost masters for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. I pried this secret out of his mouth."
"According to him, the Manchus had mastered this method a long time ago. Their royal family would incorporate ghosts and gods before death in order to live forever."
"This tradition can even be traced back to Emperor Qianlong."
Hearing the news, Zhu Biao was a little surprised again.
He detected a hint of familiarity from Zheng Yisao's description.
"Isn't this a zombie?"
"It turns out that it is true that zombies often wear official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty..."
"Then is it possible that I will encounter a zombie incarnated by Emperor Qianlong in the future?" Zhu Biao couldn't help but grinned when he thought of this.
Not to mention, this possibility is really not impossible.
"You want me, Daming, to build a zombie army like this?"
Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "To be honest, I am not particularly optimistic about this kind of thing. Our warriors are much stronger than them after entering Xiantian."
"Your Highness, of course we don't use humans as hosts. After all, the intelligence of the living dead is very limited. But if we can integrate it into the body of a horse and turn the horse into a similar zombie horse, do you think there is such a possibility?
Maybe?" Zhang Changsheng said.
When Zhu Biao heard this, his heart moved.
"This is indeed a research direction. After all, being a horse does not require much IQ."
"You can give it a try!" Zhu Biao nodded.
Now the most important factor restricting cavalry is speed.
If a zombie horse is really built that is fast, powerful, and durable, the cavalry can still continue to be active on the battlefield and even become a nightmare for the infantry for a long time to come.
After all, in the original history, even ordinary horses, cavalry were still active until World War II.
It was not until the army was completely mechanized that the cavalry truly withdrew from the stage of history.
If it is replaced by a zombie horse, let the warrior be the rider and wear heavy armor.
To be honest, even Zhu Biao doesn't know the upper limit of such a cavalry unit.
Of course, there are actually huge problems in these two research directions. The most important one is the instability of ghosts and gods after entering the bodies of animals and plants.
If this characteristic is not solved, all the above are delusions.
But it’s not that there is no solution. Maybe there isn’t one in this world, but there is one in the early Ming Dynasty!
Doesn’t Reiki increase stability?
After discussing with these researchers for most of the day, Zhu Biao left the backyard.
Also leaving with him was Zheng Yisao.
As the leader of the Hongqi Gang, to be honest, Zheng Yisao's position is a bit awkward now.
She couldn't join the army, and if she was asked to return to being a pirate, none of her pirates who had become officers would be willing to leave with her.
And she doesn't want to drag those old brothers to become pirates anymore.
After all, everyone can see that following Zhu Hongwu has a brighter future.
As for that kind of precarious life, if there is no other way, who would be willing to keep doing it?
A few days ago, researchers from the Academy of Sciences came over to study ghosts and gods.
Because of her status as a ghost master, Zheng Yisao was personally invited by Zhu Biao to temporarily serve as a research consultant for the Academy of Sciences.
After all, she has been a ghost master for thirty or forty years. There are few people who know more about ghost masters in this world than she does.
Now, the research has also come to an end.
The Academy of Sciences is already preparing to take those ghosts and gods back to the early Ming Dynasty, and Sister Zheng... Strictly speaking, she is not an extraordinary creature.
The real extraordinary creatures are just the ghosts and gods in her body, so she cannot go to the early Ming Dynasty.
Even if she could go, she wouldn't want to.
She has lived here for decades, and there are people and things she is familiar with here. How could she be a researcher?
"Your Highness, I heard those people say that they have a way to take out the ghosts and gods in our bodies?" Sister-in-law Zheng suddenly said.
"That's right!"
"The ghosts and gods in your bodyguards can be taken out, but you...!"
Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment and then said: "The reason why you are alive now is because the ghost in your body, which you call the undead ghost, is helping you. If the ghost in your body is taken out, you will probably die immediately!"
"Haha, the Hongqi Gang has found a home, I have no worries anymore, and there is no point in living anymore!"
"To be honest, if it weren't for those old brothers from the Hongqi Gang, I would have wanted to die!"
"This feeling of being possessed by ghosts and gods is not a good one!"
"And my guards, they are actually old brothers of the Hongqi Gang. Back then, the Hongqi Gang was troubled internally and externally. In order to help me stabilize the Hongqi Gang, they chose to become such living dead. Now the brothers have a destination, and they
I can finally rest in peace.”
"Your Highness, please help me with this matter."
"When we die, bury us all on Black Rock Island!" Sister-in-law Zheng said seriously.
"Okay!" Zhu Biao was silent for a moment and finally nodded.
Because he knows that this is actually the best choice. After all, he still has a hidden mission to collect all the ghosts and gods!
