Magical Engineering, a new theory that is destined to change the structure of the entire world in the future, is still in its infancy.
It isn't a brand new theory that suddenly popped up. Instead, it is a combination of scientific theories based on engineering and forging materials, as well as magical theories based on magic formation and alchemy. It only started to shine in the middle of the Holy War.
Two of its creators were poached by me from the very start. Putting aside Timlad, who is still doing his homework in a public elementary school, Olivia, who is learning from the Great Alchemist Yingou Beyar, is improving rapidly.
The Goblin had boasted about accepting a genius disciple many times in private (At the same time, he complained that his disciple's inventions are too unreliable and that he was cheated many times). Thus, as her sponsor, I unhesitatingly gave her the research topic that I had planned.
Without a doubt, this is cheating in a certain sense. I invited the original inventor over, threw the original research topic to her, and even provided her with research conditions that far exceed what she had in the past. If she still doesn't succeed, then there is nothing I can do about it.
Of course, they aren't as mature as in history, so I have sufficient patience to wait and reap the fruits of my labor. But now, Olivia actually told me that there is progress in her research. Naturally, I am overjoyed.
"Your Highness Roland, everyone is still trying to decipher and analyze the other subjects. However, the 'Portable Energy Battery' that you gave me happens to be within the field of magic formation and alchemy that I specialize in. With the help of my teacher and everyone else, I have already made some progress."
I am overjoyed. This' Portable Energy Battery 'happens to be the research target that I have been looking forward to the most. If I can overcome this obstacle, the progress of my research in the future will be greatly accelerated.
In the 'history', there isn't a single new technology that has a greater impact than Magical Engineering. In the end, it is because this technology was originally prepared for the weak humans, and humans are undoubtedly the main force of the Order Faction.
The idea behind its design is that since humans need to train for at least a few years before they can obtain supernatural powers, and many magical beasts are born with natural talents and magic, why not just add an external power source and use a mechanical shell to imitate the abilities of those magical beasts, saving the time needed for humans to train and accumulate power.
The warrior as the operator, the magic engine as the energy source, the weapon peripherals and the outer shell of the armor as the output. The three of them worked together to form a perfect cycle. Without a doubt, the magic engine that used the portable energy source as its core was the core of this design concept. When this cycle was formed, the goal was to allow ordinary humans to use supernatural abilities.
Even in the later stages of the game, the magical mechanical dragon that was able to wrestle with true dragons was just an extension of this design concept. It was just that the magical engine was powerful, and the mechanical outer shell was also extremely powerful. However, there was no fundamental change or subversion in the design concept.
The outer shell of the mech wasn't a problem from the very start. Sulfur Mountain City's engineering was the best in the world, and Roland No.2's mech was already very powerful. However, the Titan's Heart wasn't a product that could be mass-produced. The other Roland series required an astronomical number of cores and energy sources, which was why it couldn't be mass-produced.
It was said that the magic machinery was powered by the body of the living, and it could even be quickly charged by a Mage. In that case, as long as there was enough energy, it could be used repeatedly, and the returns from a one-time investment would be limitless. This was the reason why it could be mass-produced.
Of course, making heavy machinery was definitely a foolish and strenuous move. My ambition wasn't that unrealistic. The Ottoman White Wolf Guard relied on their explosive javelins and indestructible exploding swords to become a Silver-rank Warrior. This was enough to prove that a pseudo-magic weapon could overturn the fighting style of an ordinary Warrior and raise their fighting prowess to a frenzied level.
Even though I had a large batch of White Wolf Guard equipment in my hands, analyzing it wasn't something that could be done in a short period of time. I reckoned that even if I were to analyze the secrets behind it, it would still be difficult to mass-produce such top-notch equipment, which involved the structure of alloys and high-level enchantments. The biggest possibility was that we wouldn't be able to afford the raw materials and the industrial technology wasn't up to standard, thus making it a Dragonslayer's technology.
However, if every single one of my Warriors were to have a magic sword that didn't have many requirements to use, just the most basic elemental enchantment and cannons would be able to completely change the positioning of a Warrior on the battlefield. This was a shortcut to raising one's basic fighting prowess.
Thus, from the very start, the core of the problem was the rechargeable magic engine, which was also my primary goal to tackle. One of the core technologies of this magic engine was a portable energy battery that could be rechargeable. Now that Olivia told me that she had successfully tackled the problem, how could I not be overjoyed?
Initially, I thought that it would take me 3 years to tackle the problem. However, it has only been 3 months since the Ottoman era, and I have already gotten results. No matter how I look at it, I can't believe it.
Perhaps it was because my gaze was too intense that she felt embarrassed under my gaze, Olivia lowered her head and muttered.
"Lord, I didn't come up with it alone. Teacher Beyar (Yingou) and Lord Kakana helped me a lot. Or rather, it should be said that it was done by our group."
Tyrant Plague Lich Kakana? I was stunned for a moment before coming to a realization.
Kakana was originally an ace Alchemist among the commoners. It was said that her goal back then was to become an Alchemy merchant who sells beauty products and nutrition products. The more tenacious one's will is, the more resentful a soul is, the easier it is to turn into an Undead. Even though she didn't manage to fulfill her long-cherished wish (She was still unwilling to reveal what her long-cherished wish was), she responded to my call and became a member of the newly born Red Hunting Hounds.
Alchemist and Saint are occupations that rely on accumulating knowledge. They are famous for their slow advancement. Time and experience are the greatest bottlenecks for their growth. Initially, Kakana, who wasn't adept at fighting, was just a little sister whom everyone carefully protected. However, towards the end, she became one of the most fearsome existences in the army.
Alchemist is a job where the more knowledge one has, the stronger they become. The longer they live, the more fearsome they become. As long as they have enough time, there are no dangerous experiments that they can't do, no strange ideas that they can't try, no poisons that they can't concoct. After 300 years of accumulation, the potions that she concocted are ones that the living wouldn't dare to drink, even the Undead wouldn't dare to drink.
She grew from a Skeleton Mage to a Lich. As for how strong she is now, I don't know. After all, I didn't have the chance to let her go all out. Liches are existences that are at least Legend-rank. Her title of 'Tyrant Plague' also shows how the world views her. The number of lives that have died in the plagues that she created is uncountable.
Furthermore, she has 3 apprentices and one of them is a Lich. To the human kingdoms that treat Gold-rank Alchemists as national treasures, an Alchemist of Legend-rank and above is a rare treasure. Two Legend-rank and two Gold-rank Alchemists to form a research team is an unparalleled treasure.
It is because they are too capable and the direction of their research is the most lethal poison, plague, etc. That's why I have been suppressing them, not giving them the chance to display their talents. Otherwise, if they were to really create a few destructive super plagues, even the Gods would gather together to deal with us.
The Explosion Alchemist Yingou.Beyar of Goblin Alchemy, the Miracle Alchemist Olivia of Human Alchemy, the Tyrant Plague Kakana of Undead Alchemy and her research team. Unintentionally or unintentionally, the Alchemy Research Department in Donglan has gathered a top-notch research team that could put even a superpower to shame.
"No, the reason why we could succeed this time is due to luck. It is all thanks to Olivia's ingenious ideas."
A faint green soulfire burned fiercely within the skeleton. Underneath the white robe were dried bones filled with mana. Just the existence of this skeleton would strike fear into the hearts of the living. If it weren't for the slightly high-pitched mana synthesized voice, no one would have thought that this was actually a female.
However, from the looks of it, she seems to be a little unused to the doctor's coat. As she walks, she would subconsciously tug at the fabric of her chest and sleeves.
It is also my suggestion to get the Undead to wear the clothes of ordinary humans. Of course, it isn't because I have a unique interest in looking at the Skeleton Uniform Show or the Zombie Bunny Girl. Rather, it is because the tattered and dull style of the Undead is one of the reasons why the living would stay away from them. Now that they are changed, even though they aren't used to it, at the very least, it looks much more comfortable to the onlookers.
"I didn't expect that the product of my accidental failed experiment would come in handy. It was originally used to make ice in my family's storage room."
At this moment, a few Knight who rushed over after hearing the news rushes over. They skillfully flip over the debris of the wooden house and pull out the half-cooked Goblin. As for the Goblin who has been waiting in the ruins for a long time, he takes out 2 bottles of medicine and gulps it down. The burns on his body heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. After seeing me, he runs over energetically with a smile on his face.
"Old friend, big fat sheep … Oh, no, respected big sponsor, we have completed your order. It's time to talk about the remuneration."
This Goblin seems to feel that as long as there is money to be made, he can be even more zombie-like than a zombie. I am stunned by his actions, but the others have a look of satisfaction on their faces. This cycle of "explosion, quick treatment, next explosion" has become a daily routine for them. In fact, for the convenience of rebuilding and saving lives, their temporary laboratory is a simple wooden house.
As I listened to their reports, I quickly figured out the reason why they were able to break through so quickly.
"That is to say, the original magic formation for the portable energy source was discovered by Olivia a long time ago. It's just that now that she was given this research topic, she suddenly remembered it?"
"Yes, that is something I obtained by chance when I first started learning alchemy. It is a magic formation that allows energy to circulate and circulate. It can be used to cool down the basement for a long period of time. Using that as the blueprint, we developed a miniature energy source that can store energy for a long period of time. "
Originally, we used a military radar to develop a microwave oven. Due to the carelessness of the experimenter, penicillin appeared. While changing experimental equipment, we accidentally discovered X-rays, and an apple falling from a tree created gravity. In another world, facts have proven the importance of "coincidence" and "luck" in scientific inventions. I didn't expect that the alchemy research in this world would be the same.
Perhaps, from the very start, Olivia was the only one who held the key to opening the treasure vault. I directly asked the original inventor to "invent" the energy source, and the result was that I successfully recreated this "coincidence."
"That is a flowing liquid magic formation. It is a three-dimensional structure with sixteen layers. However, its total size is only about the size of an egg. It should be able to meet your requirements. "
Just by looking at its outer appearance, it looks like a sparkling and translucent crystal. A faint red liquid is slowly flowing within it. However, when I touch the surface, I can feel the vigorous magic power beneath the calm surface, as if it is alive and kicking.
"Well done, I will double the remuneration I promised. The next research goal is to equip individual weapons with energy sources and make them practical. It seems that very soon, we will have several new and powerful troop types! "
…
According to others, I had been wearing a strange smile that afternoon. I would smile when I met them, shake hands with them, and return their greetings with a smile. This scared quite a few people.
However, I did have a reason to be happy. Other than the profits that this "Olivia's Magic Box" (I personally named it, but I rejected the name "Olivia's Love Egg") would bring, this technological breakthrough also ensured that a large portion of the wealth that the magical machinery revolution would bring in was already in my hands.
"When the time comes, all the countries will come knocking on my door to buy it. According to my plan, I will definitely sell it, but how to sell it is a big problem. It is a must to extort a large sum of money from them. Perhaps, it might even help Donglan break the ice in diplomatic relations. This diplomatic thinking of making enemies everywhere is too foolish. Even if you want to cut them down with a knife, you should at least pretend to be friendly on the surface. That way, stabbing them in the back will be the most effective. "
During that period of time, I was constantly thinking about how to extort money from them in the future. Naturally, I had a strange smile on my face. The only thing that caused my smile to crumble was that I received two pieces of news in a row.
The first one was within my expectations. Due to the Earth Elemental God's restlessness among the Beastmen, the territories of the Beastmen were already filled with spies sent by the various countries. Furthermore, Rosemary's news came just in time.
"This winter, the internal conflict among the Beastmen will end. The cold winter isn't suitable for the Beastman army, who lacks food and clothing, to attack the south. However, I'm afraid that the moment the winter thaws next year, the Beastmen will descend from the mountains."
When I received this news, I sighed. What would come would eventually come. However, the good news was that at least winter wouldn't come. It was a good thing that we still had half a year to prepare. However, if winter really came, it would be much easier to deal with it using the cold weather.
The other important piece of news was a sudden bombshell.
"The Xiluo Empire suddenly declared war on the four neighboring countries. The Undead Army immediately crossed the Death Swamp, Snowy Mountain Highlands, Scorching Desert and other forbidden zones for life to launch a surprise attack on the various countries. This time, 8 of the 12 Senators were mobilized. The number of troops mobilized was uncountable. The surprise attack was very successful. The human kingdoms weren't prepared for it at all. In the war, the few kingdoms retreated step by step, including the mega empire of the continent, the Suolo Federation. "
If this surprise attack by the Undead was an unexpected turn of events, then the intelligence officers of the various countries were completely unable to comprehend what happened next.
"The Third Senator, Pride Omar, who had just taken office for less than three months, rebelled. He led the army that he had just gained control of to rebel. At the crucial moment, the Royalty Faction chose to remain neutral. The Parliament Faction was forced to face them head-on. The Xiluo Empire was split into three and a full-blown civil war broke out."
Clearly, the war was going smoothly. Two of the small kingdoms were on the verge of being destroyed. Yet, a civil war broke out. Furthermore, it was a chaotic war that split into three. What kind of rhythm was this?
The Pride of the Seven Deadly Sins, Omar .Mist, the super expert who suddenly appeared out of nowhere, was able to make the Bone Dragon Queen Gria voluntarily relinquish her position as the Third Senator. In an instant, he became a hot topic in the entire continent.
When he proclaimed himself as the Son of Yongye, the head of the Seven Deadly Sins, and the fact that he betrayed Emperor Yongye but wasn't completely eliminated was brought up, everyone had the feeling of "Damn, so he is a super fierce person".
"Feyman, you are still as short-sighted as ever. Do you think that removing Omar's seal and letting him out would be able to suppress the Royalty Faction? Yeah, he can indeed suppress them. But do you think that he won't be able to suppress your Dark Night Council? Aren't you giving him a chance to rebel by allowing him to lead a team alone? "
I could roughly understand Feyman's thoughts. He probably hoped to use Omar to suppress Lionheart and the others of the Royalty Faction. Then, he would seize the opportunity of the Holy War to gather all of Xiluo's power to wage war against the living.
In his mind, Omar's rebellion back then was probably for the sake of greater authority and power. Then, I would be able to give him any promise he wants. As long as the army of the Death Dimension arrives, it wouldn't be a big deal even if he doesn't fulfill his promise.
"Omar, I'm afraid that other than me, it is impossible for him to accept anyone else's command. As the incarnation of arrogance, he can't accept the fact that someone's position is higher than his. To him, there is no need for a reason to betray. If he were to forcefully find a reason when questioned, 'I don't like you', 'You're too ugly', 'You want to command the beautiful me with such an ugly face', such infuriating words would probably come out of that darned brat's mouth. "
I understood that darned brat too well. With his super powerful Undead control ability known as the 'Supreme Privilege of the Prince of Darkness', as long as the Undead were under his command, there was basically no way for them to return. Perhaps, just like back then, he had secretly controlled a few Undead Lords. This civil war would be a long one.
I couldn't help but feel pity for Feyman. He had painstakingly planned for so many years, accumulated sufficient military strength, sorted out the 12 Senators, and even grasped the golden opportunity at the start of the Holy War. He had probably even investigated the invasion site countless times, but in the end, everything was ruined just like that.
"Who will win? In terms of strength, Omar takes 3 and Feyman takes 7. However, if Lionheart doesn't make use of this opportunity to play some tricks, he wouldn't be worthy of following me for so many years. Forget it, it doesn't matter at all. Regardless of who wins, Xiluo will lose. "
The ambitious Ottoman Empire's information network was truly powerful. However, the valuable information that those elite spies risked their lives to obtain fell into my hands right away through Rosemary's phylactery.
The situation was vastly different from one another, but the only similarity was that it wasn't peaceful.
"The Night of a Hundred Demons, a storm is brewing. We have to hurry. The most important thing right now is … the Hybrid Autonomous Region and the Altar of the Far North? We can't drag it on any longer. After I settle the miscellaneous matters on hand, it will be time for us to head out again. "
…
Due to the scarcity of members of the Royal Family, the training grounds of the Donglan Royal Palace were opened to the Royal Knight's training grounds a long time ago. However, today, the training grounds were sealed once again. Other than the fact that there were a few experts clashing and it was too dangerous for spectators, today was also the day for the testing of the newest weapon.
Actually, the requirements for the new weapon weren't too high. At the very least, the core of the weapon had to be equipped with a Fire Conversion Magic Array and the outer shell of a Mechanical Magic Sword.
Regardless of whether it was Fire or Machinery, they were the specialties of the Goblin Engineers. As long as they were given sufficient bonuses, the efficiency and passion of the Goblins were something that other races couldn't comprehend. It was unimaginable for them to work 23 hours a day. In less than half a month, the prototype that I requested for was barely completed.
The crimson Magic Sword slashed down with a momentum that could topple mountains and overturn seas. Blinding flames covered the tip of the sword. Just the heat from the tip of the sword was enough to make one feel suffocated.
The wooden rake in front of me was struck by the sword. Then, the wooden target began to burn and swiftly turned into black ashes.
"Did it succeed?"
However, in the next second, the gemstone "vibrating egg" on the hilt of the sword flashed and extinguished. At the same time, the tip of the sword began to melt. A few seconds later, the melted portion began to spread and the entire sword heated up rapidly before turning into a puddle of molten iron.
"Did it fail again? It seems to be a little weak. "
However, the wielder of the sword looked at the sword hilt in his hand regretfully, as though he didn't feel anything at all towards the boiling molten iron dripping on his body. After all, the temperature that he had reached before was definitely not something that a small Magic Sword could achieve.
"Nonsense, how could it possibly withstand your full power? The reason why I asked you, a SemiGod, to come here is to test its maximum output. How about it?"
Adam scratched his head.
"Bronze Pinnacle. No, it can barely be considered as a Lower Silver."
Obviously, to him, this level of firepower wasn't sufficient at all. However, his regretful words made the recording beside him burst into cheers of joy. This was already much better than what he had expected.
Those present here were the top experts of the entire Donglan. The reason why I wanted them here wasn't just to observe the testing of the new weapon.
"So, since the Magic Sword and Magic Firearm have passed the initial test, let's start on the next step. We will use them as the core to create two new army types. In order to allow these new army types to truly step onto the stage of history, I have a decision. "
Valkyrie Basra, Adam, Old Ferdiand, Fayde. The four of them were highly qualified Great Sword Saints. Furthermore, they weren't just Physical Sword Saints. Other than swordsmanship, they had their own specialties.
At this moment, even if I didn't say anything, they would be able to guess some things. After all, I had already asked Basra for all the information on his Twilight Blade.
"Magic Swordsman advancement?"
"Yes, we will open up a path for everyone to walk on. At the very least, we must ensure that the path doesn't become a dead end after a certain point. Every job has its own skills and battle style that is most suitable for them. So, we have to create an advanced job that is suitable for these Magic Swordsmen. A type of advanced Magic Swordsman that is far more powerful than the useless Arcane Knight, an advanced Magic Swordsman between Silver and Gold-rank — Four Elemental Swordcaster. I am willing to be the first Swordcaster! "
