Goblin Plane, Floating Mech City.
This was a huge alchemy laboratory located under the Wizard Tower.
In the gigantic assembly workshop that occupied an area of 13000 square meters, there were many scaffolding that looked like a beehive. Countless gnome engineers and technicians were climbing up and down, either welding, cutting, or hammering, making the place look like a noisy market.
Surrounded by the dense scaffolding, one could vaguely see the outline of a huge magical machine.
It was a huge Magical Golem Dragon made entirely of metal. Its entire body was 100 meters long from head to tail, and it was supported by 6 pairs of thick, solid metal legs. Every detail on its body was exquisitely carved and lifelike.
Due to the large amount of Fire Stain Copper used to create this huge golem dragon, the surface of its metal surface was a strange dark red. If one hit the metal shell, there would even be dazzling sparks that would ignite the clothes of the attacker.
Therefore, there would be one or two emergency alarms on the huge scaffolding every few minutes, and the goblin sprinklers that were on standby would rush over to extinguish the fire.
When Grim arrived at the workshop with the Wind Wizard, Deseira, and a group of goblin engineers, he saw such a chaotic and noisy scene.
A huge golem dragon that was a hundred meters long …
Grim squinted his eyes, silently observing and pondering.
One had to know that even true Dragons that reached 100 meters in length were existences like Ancient Dragons or Primordial Dragons, and their starting point was at least Tier 6. However, this group of weak goblins the size of beans could create such a huge magical machine with exquisite and perfect mechanical forging techniques. Grim could not help but look at them in a different light!
However, even if the goblins had gathered all the high-level technicians and engineers in the entire plane, this was the limit of what they could do. Without the Magic Furnace technology provided by Grim, even if all of them worked together and installed coal-powered steam engines in the golem dragon's internal space, it would still be difficult to operate such a huge magical machine.
Ever since Grim, the leader of the Crimson Tribe, arrived at the goblin plane and the Floating Mech City, the most intelligent and experienced goblin engineer had been following closely behind him, muttering 'lack of funds', 'many injuries', and 'lack of apprentices' like a monk chanting scriptures …
Of course, the thing he was most talking about was the large Magic Furnace on the blueprint!
According to the current Golem Dragon's weight of 400 tons, the large Magic Furnace would need to be at least a third of the power of the Super Magic Furnace that the brain monster Gaz 'ruvi had fused with in order to be able to power such a huge Golem.
If one were to consider the numerous magical weapons that would be installed in the later stages of the project, perhaps the power output of the newly built large-scale Magical Furnace would not be lower than the Super Magical Furnace.
As for the Super Magical Furnace, Grimm borrowed a rare 'Mana Source' to succeed in building it. If he wanted to build another Magic Furnace that was on par with the Super Magic Furnace, he would have to use even more Quelas Alloy!
Therefore, while Grimm was inspecting the Golem Dragon, he was also quickly calculating the consumption of Quelas Alloy in his mind.
He had obtained 270 tonnes of Quelas Alloy this time. According to the A.I. Chip's latest optimized model, it was enough to build 67 spatial furnaces or 26 Magic Furnaces. However, if he wanted to build a large Magic Furnace, he would probably only be able to build 3-4 of them.
When he thought about the Patrol Mothership, Goblin Dragon Spear, Spatial Ripper, and the legendary Thunder God Titan that were already on the construction list, Grim felt a headache coming on. He had a feeling that all his assets would be destroyed by these weak goblins in one go.
However, the golem dragon was only a preliminary test product. He wanted to accumulate some experience in building the real killing machines in the future. Among the large magic machines, Grim was naturally most interested in the Patrol Mothership and the Thunder God Titan.
No matter how strong the golem dragon was, its basic strength was enough to fight a rank 4 creature. However, it was too clumsy and could not fly. If the rank 4 enemy was too cunning and used these weaknesses to play guerilla warfare, the golem dragon might not be able to withstand it.
This was evident from the fact that the rank 4 Witch of Death, Cthuna, could defeat a rank 4 giant dragon by herself.
Therefore, in Grim's mind, even if the future Golem Dragon was successfully built, it could only be considered as the lowest level-4 Golem!
However, with the Crimson Family lacking a rank 4 Magus, it was still a good thing to have a rank 4 magic machine.
The only thing that mattered now was whether it was worth it!
Grimm finally stopped and turned around to look at the old Goblin who was following him too closely and almost crashed into him.
"You …"
"My name is Gonga, the current dean of the Goblin Empire's Royal Engineer Academy. I'm also the supervisor of the construction of this golem dragon!"
"You seemed to have mentioned too many difficulties and technical problems. I don't want to hear that now. I'm only concerned about what will you give me in return if I provide you with a large magic furnace of sufficient power? "Grim placed his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrows, looking arrogant.
Hearing Grim's words, the goblins gathered around him held their breaths.
The goblins here were at least high-ranked engineers. They had participated in the entire process of building the golem dragon, so they naturally knew the value of a large magic furnace. In the past, they had complained countless times to the wizards stationed here about the lack of apprentices, lack of funds, and constant injuries … However, the thing that bothered them the most was the lack of a strong 'heart' that could drive the golem dragon!
Countless complaints, countless requests, and countless expectations …
Every time they were rejected by the wizards stationed here, they did not even have a reason to explain. This undoubtedly made the goblin engineers anxious and restless. They thought that such a large construction project would go down the drain just like that.
However, today was the first time they heard news of a large magic furnace from the Crimson family's master. This … How could they not be excited!
"A powerful grade 4 golem dragon!" Dean Gonga stretched his neck and shouted, "Grade 4 … It's a grade 4! It will definitely be able to wipe out all grade 4 enemies for you … "
Seeing the old goblin shouting himself hoarse and spitting saliva everywhere, Grim could not help but snicker in his heart.
Grade 4 …
These goblins who were used to being tigers would not be able to imagine how terrifying a real grade 4 creature was!
Did they think that those grade 4 Magi would be like those stupid warriors who would raise their battle axes and fight with the golem dragon?
The power of a real grade 4 Magus had already exceeded the limits of mortals' imagination. And they definitely had a lot of ways to deal with these clumsy and slow creatures.
So what if they were big? So what if they had a sturdy shell made of magic metals?
If they met a real grade 4 Magus, they would only become a pitiful and miserable wooden dummy. It was not a problem for them to defeat the golem dragon. The only problem was whether they were willing to pay the huge price of cutting down a sturdy wooden dummy.
That was why Grim was not tempted by the old goblin's fanatical propaganda. Instead, he had a more accurate and deeper understanding of the golem dragon than the old goblin.
"A grade 4 golem? Good, very good … "Grim did not burst Gonga's bubble of idealism. Instead, he changed his tone," So, what other difficulties do you have to achieve this goal? "
"This …" Gonga hesitated for a moment.
Even with the current strength of the Floating Mech City, they would need to go all out to create such a terrifying golem dragon. Not to mention the technology and workers, there were more than a hundred goblin transport teams that transported the iron ingots.
Every day, they shuttled back and forth between the mines and transported the ores they collected to the Floating Mech City. The ores would then be processed by the various smelting factories, refineries, and purification workshops before finally being delivered to the hands of the Goblin technicians.
The subsequent smelting and forging of the magic alloys were done in the small goblin laboratories, and the daily output was only a few hundred kilograms. In order to gather enough magic alloys for the golem dragon, nearly a thousand goblin engineers and technicians had to work day and night. Just the number of goblins that died of exhaustion in the laboratories and operating tables had already reached a hundred.
The reason why they worked so hard was because they wanted to witness the birth of a 'god-tier' golem dragon with their own hands!
For some of the native creatures that could not step out of the plane due to the restrictions of their race, grade 4 was indeed the highest level in the plane.
It was worthy of being called a 'God'!
It was because the Goblins had sacrificed so much that Gonga was worried that the young human wizard would be scared away by the difficulty he posed.
"... We can solve the other problems ourselves. However, there are three problems that we cannot solve with our strength alone … "
"Speak!"
"The first is the problem of apprentices. Although the Lord Wizard has sent us 5 apprentices, under their guidance, we can also carry out some rune etching work. However, there are too few goblins that have mastered this technique … At the very least, the number of apprentices we have is far from enough to carve all the rune circuits and spell formations in the golem dragon … "
Grim pondered for a moment and quickly obtained some internal information from the A.I. Chip. He then gave the old goblin a resolute reply.
"From the day after tomorrow, I will send you another hundred apprentices from the family. The number of Magi will also increase, and they will work with you …"
