To gather intel and stalkers, shadow rats are the best, as they are highly intelligent and understand human language.
But to stalk an area, insects are the best thing.
The termite queen Zoi let all the termites cover the entire area around the mansion and began to spread throughout the estate.
The mansion was in the deeper part of the estate and was mostly covered with impact crystals towering in several places and at the same time making it almost impossible to peek into the big house from a distance.
So, if the other party really wanted to keep an eye on Sam, by hiring humans, he would be able to find him in no time with the zoi termites.
Even if the shadow rats were good, they were better suited to gather intel and stalkers. But for lurking a certain area in a short time, insects with queens are best.
But Sam waited more than half an hour and he found no one in the distance. To be more precise, the queen found no one.
Then he deployed the shadow rat to see if there was anyone in the shape of a shadow. He may have ignored this before. So he let the shadow rat see it.
In the field of shadows, these shadow rats were the best, very few creatures could defeat them in the shadows while they were at their peak.
After getting negative results again, Sam felt that the human follower was unquestionable.
So, he thought of something else. The observer may be an animal or an insect.
And there are other things to consider and the supervisor should be able to identify the person who killed Sam, if they want to deal with that person.
So, the search criteria can be narrowed down a bit.
And when he saw the termite queen, something appeared in his mind.
He immediately went to the tower library and checked the info about the beastiary, he spent over five hours before he came out. Now, he had a faint smile on his face.
If the guess is correct, the observer must be an insect.
So, he gave some instructions to the queen and took out the remaining locust queen and the termite and grasshopper generals.
Then all the remaining locusts were released to scout the area.
After more than an hour, the termite queen finally gave him a positive answer.
Sam soon moves to an area that looks like termites and grasshoppers and he begins to use his observing abilities. There he saw a small, thin, transparent butterfly flying.
It was invisible to the naked eye and even the spiritual senses were unable to pinpoint it exactly.
Only other types of insects can find it and it is also very difficult.
This is a soul-chasing butterfly.
Very strange and useful insect.
These insects are not like other butterflies that stand alone, but these butterflies also grow in a community.
In fact, they live with caterpillars that will turn into butterflies that chase souls.
The soul-chasing butterfly has a boss that gives instructions and a lineage of this insect species only under the termite Zoi.
This soul-chasing butterfly is great for trailing and tagging someone. The butterfly would attach itself to the presence of one's soul at the Boss' command and would from then on follow the person
Butterfly Bosses can record some instructions to subordinates and embed those instructions in the form of memories or visuals into the soul of the butterfly.
So, if something happens to the person they are following, the butterfly will act as directed.
For example, if a target is killed by someone and if the boss instructs that the butterfly should mark the person who killed, he will do so based on visual instructions embedded in his memory.
If the target is killed discreetly or remotely, if there are instructions that match the scenario such as following a trajectory, the butterfly can do so and mark its killer.
The Boss has a wide sensor range in terms of its subordinate sensing which is almost comparable to the satellites of its previous life.
But it could only sense his subordinates and nothing else.
Sam felt amused and relieved at the same time. The soul-chasing butterfly can only track and has no ability to convey a message. They have very low intelligence and only boss butterflies have intelligence.
Most of the people behind the scenes must have found and conquered this boss' soul-chasing butterfly and they must have found a way to tag the candidates and Sam felt it was definitely after the test marquis city.
The person who caught this insect must have been through a lot. Because, soul-chasing butterflies have many abilities that are suitable for tracking and one of them is invisibility. It can blend in with the surrounding environment like a chameleon.
And its presence is almost negligible.
Sam doesn't have to worry anymore. Even if they were to track down the person, they would have no way of seeing what Sam did and the secret was safe.
So, Sam did not bother and remembered all the insects and returned to his house.
He entered the tower and began to conduct research and experiments. He needed to make a machine to take out these impact crystals as soon as possible. Even if they worked hard, in their current situation, they would not be able to clear the entire estate.
But Sam has to clean it up as soon as possible because, this plantation is one of his main points for making money in the last eight months.
He would use the whole place to get as much as he wanted.
So, he had to speed up the process and for that he had to find a way to obtain a fire strong enough to melt the collision crystal and also make a device of collecting liquid crystals.
He could try and use fire element crystals and make a device made of energy cells and some inscriptions, but his consumption would be too expensive and the profit margin was very small.
But Sam has an alternative to heat sources. Methane from bull.
After he learned that methane was strong, he had the apes dig some big holes and trained the bulls to defecate in the holes.
One hole of methane gives it more than 20 liters of methane.[it is not liquid. Volumetric measurement only]
The feces of this bull are very strong and they defecate a lot.
Methane's extremely high calorific value can even be used to melt materials such as tungsten carbide and titanium in earlier life if used like a regular torch without pressure and setting.
And with enough pressure and the right furnace-like environment, he was pretty sure that he could melt these collision crystals.
But the question is how he's going to use this. He could not just control the wind and suppress the gas and increase the intensity of the fire manually and stand there.
If he could do it, he could use the disintegration process. The point is he doesn't have to stay here but work has to be done.
So, he immersed himself in the research for the next two days which was twenty days in the tower to produce the design. And when he was finally satisfied with the design and simulation on the second floor of the tower.
After confirming the design, Sam began to inspect the materials he had and sort them out.
He wondered if the ten days [in the tower] he had would be enough or not. Because, this time the mechanism will be much more complicated and must make several components.
This machine will be operated manually and will be a multipurpose machine.
The complexity of the mechanism is not very high. The difficult part lies in the placement and manufacture of components with precision and accuracy.
Any problem in manufacturing, he would have serious problems for the operator.
That problem would be risky and the operator could even die if not handled properly.
So, Sam had to be careful and take his time in making items.
The first part and the base of the machine will be made with gray meteoric sand. It has high strength and has a very high refractory to heat. The melting point is almost the highest in the sand of meteorites.
But it's still in Rank 2 material and its melting point is around 3rd rank material above average.
While the most impact crystals can be at the bottom 3 rank.
Artisan ford did not clear this entire ground, even if rank 3 metals could be easily melted with rank 5 and rank 4, they would require a long time and energy to do so.
