I Can Program My Body?

Chapter 671: Entering The Tower’s Trial

"Infinite firepower? Haha, I’m thinking too lightly." Nash quickly shook his head.

Although the large-scale defensive weapon could convert matter, the energy it needed to process was still energy.

Furthermore, while the Breathing Earth Loom could expand infinitely, it also costs energy.

"Let’s see if it’s still cost-effective."

Having already tested how much energy it took to expand the Breathing Earth Loom to a cubic meter, Nash only needed to test the efficiency of this large-scale defensive weapon.

Asking his mechanical guide for testing, Nash’s consciousness was sent to a private virtual server.

Entering a simulated void, Nash began to operate the large-scale defensive weapon, first using regular energy, such as void, elemental, and even regular electricity.

Seeing its firepower didn’t change throughout the test, Nash couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

"It seems the leveler of this defensive weapon is top-notch."

Furthermore, looking at the damage it had done, Nash had no complaints.

The regular output was already comparable to the firepower of a C-class battleship, with the main output comparable to an A-class battleship.

The frequency of fire was also not small; just a single defensive module could deal with a wave of hundreds of tier 8 dark beasts.

Once expanded to thousands, the pressure defending a dark-beast gate would be negligible.

"Now, let’s test the matter-conversion efficiency."

Pouring out a few thousand cubic meters of dirt similar to the Breathing Earth Loom, he fed it all into the defensive weapon.

Concentrating on the various data parameters, Nash began to calculate the efficiency of conversion.

Soon, a few minutes later, after all matter was turned into an explosive mass, a smile appeared on his lips.

"Not bad. It’s passable."

Calculating all the costs, it only took a tenth of the energy cost compared with conventional energy.

This means Nash could expand the number of modules tenfold while only having the consumption of one.

"Haha, this is great. It’s quite cheap too."

Compared to other large-scale defensive weapons, it was one of the cheapest, costing only 5 quadrillion per unit.

With his remaining budget, he could buy five without any problem.

This was not a module but the main control of the large-scale defensive structure.

As for the modules used to expand its defensive coverage, there was a corresponding blueprint given for free.

As long as they had the industrial capability, they could produce the modules themselves.

Of course, if they didn’t have the capability, they could also buy the modules at the cost of 100 trillion.

Seeing the price, Nash naturally leaned toward creating them on his own.

Especially with the coming trade of a tier 7 mother-core ship from the Azure Heaven Alliance, reproducing most of the parts of the module would not be a problem.

"Hah! With this, I’m set!"

After buying everything on his list, Nash was free to spend the remaining roughly 4 quadrillion on anything he fancied.

Looking at the various technological wonders sold by the mechanical race, Nash began to buy one of each type to study.

Although they also sold the blueprints, those were more expensive than the actual products.

Wanting to save as much as possible, he could only take the ready-made ones and study them later.

Sweeping each technological product-production line, processing lines, mining technology, livelihood technology, farming, terraforming, experimental equipment, and more, Nash spent almost all the remaining money he had.

"Tsk, it seems I’m still too poor!"

He thought the 150 quadrillion he brought was already sizable; he didn’t expect to spend it all just at the mechanical race.

Looking at the Universe Business Commerce Alliance, which was also bustling with activity, he could only guess the attractiveness of their products.

Unfortunately, even though Nash still had a lot to buy, he no longer had any money.

"I can only exchange it when I have money later on."

Once the production of the dark-energy purification device started, he should have enough bargaining chips to buy whatever he wanted.

For now, he could only settle down and concentrate on other things.

As for selling the formula for the faith-soothing potion? Nash didn’t want to die yet.

If the mass production of dark technology that could only be achieved by his genetic ability already attracted this kind of attention, much less a formula that could be produced by everyone.

"It’s time to take the trial of the Altier Arcane Tower."

Without any money, he could only target this unconquerable ultimate treasure.

Finding a secure place, Nash sat down and began to meditate, voicing in his heart his intent to accept the trial.

Suddenly, Nash felt his entire body being dragged into an unknown space.

By the time Nash opened his eyes, he saw that he was already in a glacier field.

"The trial of Ice Law?"

Receiving a stream of information in his mind, Nash quickly determined the mode of the trial.

To pass it, Nash just needed to endure the increasingly cold temperature for 30 hours.

For him, with the [Adaptive Module System], it was no different than drinking a gallon of water.

What made Nash frown was the time.

Thirty hours? He didn’t have that kind of time.

In two weeks, the Altier Arcane Tower will be closed to all outsiders.

If he wanted permission to stay inside, he had to pass the tenth floor as quickly as possible.

Digesting the information sent to his mind, Nash found an alternative way to pass: break the core supporting the trial.

Resisting the cold, Nash began to mobilize his vast soul power in conjunction with the [Sensing Module System] to find the core.

Suddenly, as his soul began to expand, Nash found his soul frozen in place.

"This-"

Quickly retracting his soul, Nash began to rethink his plan.

It seemed the coldness didn’t just depend on time but also on the strength of the trialist.

If he tried to aggressively find the core of the trial, his soul might be damaged.

"Since this trial has a core, then it must be some sort of array..."
