Beast Taming: My Intelligence System Chapter 949 - 585: Machine Transformation Experiment (Part 2)

Conversations ensued between Ye Bai and the two Thunder Bulls.

Recognizing the distinction between the larger and smaller bull, they nodded in agreement, signifying their submission to Ye Bai's authority.

"Very well, the next step involves extracting your souls. Kindly remain calm throughout this process; I shall instruct Hastar to proceed with utmost gentleness."

"You will experience a sleep akin to a dream. Upon awakening, you will inhabit exceptionally robust bodies. I trust this explanation is clear."

The Thunder Bulls' heads bobbed enthusiastically, like pestles rapidly pounding garlic; their understanding was unequivocal. Their sole avenue for survival lay in unreserved cooperation with the impending experiment.

"Excellent, Hastar, commence the soul extraction from both Thunder Bulls."

"Hold on, allow me to first conduct a comprehensive analysis of the Thunder Bulls' physical data to ensure the utmost accuracy of our findings."

Ye Bai abruptly halted Hastar's actions, eliciting a rather resigned expression from Hastar.

"My apologies, a last-minute alteration in procedure."

"My inexperience in this particular task is notable; I humbly request your indulgence."

Hastar gave a shrug, nearly losing his balance as he was halted mid-action.

In truth, Ye Bai's primary objective was to meticulously document the physiological transformations occurring in the Thunder Bulls prior to and following the soul extraction.

This particular experiment held significant weight, directly impacting the subsequent trials involving the Iron Spear Shrimp King, thus necessitating a highly cautious approach.

Without delay, Ye Bai acquired the requisite testing results.

Only then did Hastar turn his attention back to the Thunder Bulls. "Be at ease, close your eyes. My touch will be gentle, the process swift, and sleep will claim you momentarily."

Hastar placed his hands upon the Thunder Bulls' foreheads, and a soft white light began to emanate.

In a short span, two luminous clusters of white light were extracted by Hastar, connected to the Thunder Bulls by a barely perceptible, wispy thread.

"This represents the Thunder Bull's life force. Severing this connection results in immediate demise."

"Extreme care is paramount to avoid any adverse impact on the Thunder Bull's soul."

"Figures known as Death Gods are often depicted wielding scythes, symbolizing their use of unique Soul Artifacts to cleanly sever the bond between an Exotic Beast's soul and its physical form."

"Excessive force can render the Exotic Beast's soul exceedingly delicate."

Ye Bai grasped the underlying principle; while Hastar's actions resembled a gentle caress, the soul extraction machinery operated with a destructive force, akin to violently tearing the soul from its host.

Ye Bai found it challenging to quantify the sheer brutality of such a process, which presumably accounted for the difficulties encountered with the mechanical dragon.

"Hastar, I have a query: is it feasible to repair any potential damage sustained by the soul?"

Ye Bai inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"Repair? Indeed, there exists a method; one can gather Soul Power to mend a damaged soul."

"For instance, consider a standard Exotic Beast's soul as a base unit, represented by 'one.' Other Exotic Beasts may possess souls dozens of times stronger. Should such a soul be damaged, a substantial quantity of Soul Power is required for its restoration."

"This process necessitates the involvement of an Exotic Beast that has specifically attuned itself to the principles of Soul Law."

"My current recommendation is to finalize this experiment first; subsequent trials will be minimal in scope for us."

"Ensuring the integrity of the Exotic Beast's soul during this initial phase will undoubtedly yield significant advantages."

Ye Bai considered Hastar's counsel, finding merit in his reasoning.

Prioritize research, then consider the potential benefits.

Perfect the soul extraction technology first, then move towards achieving soul repair capabilities.

Just as one must eat a meal one bite at a time, acquiring new knowledge and technology demands a gradual, progressive approach; instantaneous gratification is an impossibility.

With a deep sigh, Ye Bai voiced his agreement.

"Very well, let us set aside further discussion for now and commence the procedure."

"If the soul extraction process is unduly prolonged, its integrity may indeed be compromised."

At that opportune moment, Hastar materialized, wielding a colossal scythe, with which he effortlessly severed the connection between soul and body.

"Hahaha, this is the Scythe of Death, appropriated from a Death God in a lesser world; is this blade not a marvel?"

"Precisely, procure for me a piece of jade, Thunder Jade preferably, for the containment of the Thunder Bull's soul."

As this was Ye Bai's inaugural experiment, he directed a Paperman to execute the task; the Paperman, instantly complying with Ye Bai's instructions, brought forth two gleaming Thunder Jades.

Hastar then proceeded to transfer the Thunder Bull's soul into the Thunder Jade. Ye Bai could distinctly perceive a nascent vitality within the two jades.

"The jade has come alive?"

"Is this the sensation of soul infusion?"

Ye Bai found the experience profoundly wondrous.

"When one perceives a stone imbued with life, it typically signifies the presence of a treasure, for objects of divine nature possess their own spirit."

Hastar offered this explanation to Ye Bai.

"Understood. Paperman, please assist in returning the Thunder Bull souls to the scanner; continuous monitoring of the Thunder Bull's bodily status is essential."

With the first, critical phase successfully concluded, Ye Bai's focus immediately shifted to the subsequent task of reconstructing the Thunder Bull's physical form.

The direct 3D printing of a Thunder Bull's metallic body was not a feasible approach.

Professor Jubino theorized that a new body, lacking similarity to the original, would make it difficult for the soul and body to synchronize effectively.

It's akin to bestowing a new existence; consequently, when fabricating bodies for Exotic Beasts, Professor Jubino would transplant the most vital components—organs—from the creature's original form.

Forging a profound connection between soul and body was Professor Jubino's unparalleled expertise.

In the case of Thunder Bulls, only three specific parts were integral: their eyes, horns, and spine.

The eyes possessed the ability to discharge lightning, the horns could unleash a staggering hundred thousand volts of electricity, and the spine served as the primary organ for the Thunder Bull's formidable power.

Therefore, these three crucial elements had to be transferred from the deceased Thunder Bull's original body.

"Very well, let us carefully extract the Thunder Bull's single eye and ensure its vitality is maintained within a stabilized containment unit."

Ye Bai promptly directed the Da Vinci Robot to delicately remove the Thunder Bull's unicorn eye.

Subsequently, Ye Bai meticulously sawed off the Thunder Bull's limbs and even managed to preserve its entire hide.

Finally, following Ye Bai's precise anatomical schematics, the Da Vinci Robot successfully retrieved the crystal-clear, thunder-emitting Thunder Bone from the Thunder Bull's spinal column.

"Excellent, now we shall proceed with the swift printing of the 3D model. Fortunately, my preparations were thorough, so major complications should be avoided."

Ye Bai uploaded the gathered data.

The Thunder Bull's new chassis would utilize the spine as its central core, employing 3D titanium alloy printing technology to construct the ultimate Thunder Bull physique.

Subsequently, advanced technology would be used to seamlessly fuse the spinal bone with the titanium alloy framework.

The mere process of printing the physical model consumed three full days of Ye Bai's time.

The Thunder Bone exhibited significant rejection tendencies, appearing ostentatiously disdainful towards certain metallic compounds.

Ye Bai experimented with a variety of metallic materials, eventually succeeding in printing the complete body of the Thunder Bull.

Ye Bai carefully fitted the extracted eye into the Thunder Bull's empty socket and then reattached the magnificent horns.

Lastly, the Thunder Bull's skin was artfully draped over the newly constructed form.

Gazing upon the majestic and imposing Thunder Bull, Ye Bai felt an overwhelming sense of satisfaction.
