Countless spells squeezed together and turned into a multi-colored flood that relentlessly attacked the entrance of the Grey Beastmen's fort.
The defensive metal plates on the walls shone one after the other, and in an instant, the entire wall shone, and the radiance blossoming became more and more intense.
On the walls, a large group of Grey Beastmen frantically cast spells to resist, but it didn't have much effect.
Lin Yun floated in the air, coldly watching. Countless runes flickered in front of him, and a Four-Element Bomb rapidly condensed. After three seconds, the Four-Element Bomb instantly disappeared.
Only a several-hundred-meter-long passage of white air remained in the air.
"Boom …"
A loud sound echoed as the entire wall started shaking, and all the defensive metal plates started blossoming with a glaring light.
Fine cracks started appearing on that ten-meter-tall metal gate, and after being eroded by the flood of spells for a few seconds, it loudly exploded, and the berserk flood of spells rushed into the fort through the gate.
The numerous puppets behind the gate simply couldn't rush out of the fort and were submerged by the flood of spells.
A large number of sword puppets rushed into the Grey Beastmen's fort like a flood of steel, followed by the mage army. Then, Lin Yun led the remaining people inside.
Unexpectedly, the resistance they met was very weak, and in less than three minutes, the leader of the Grey Beastmen's fort came out.
"We surrender! We surrender! Great Human Powerhouse, we surrender! Please stop the slaughter and destruction … "
A large group of Grey Beastmen came out of their mechas and followed behind the Grey Beastman Tribe's leader, indicating that they had already surrendered.
Lin Yun's puppet army was like a well-disciplined army that controlled all the Grey Beastmen.
Those that could control the mechas were all Alchemists at the very least, and they were all captured and sent to the Radiant Fort. Even the higher-ups of the Grey Beastman Tribe had to sign a soul contract with Lord Shawn before they could be released.
For three days, the Grey Beastman Tribe was thoroughly controlled. All the Alchemists were signed by Lord Shawn, and all the ruling class were also signed by harsh soul contracts.
Dunas, the leader of the Grey Beastmen, was cautiously following behind Lin Yun as they walked through the streets.
"Sir Merlin, this is our fort's largest puppet manufacturing factory. Most of the components can be made here, and the final assembly and debugging are done here …"
Ordinary Beastmen's rough buildings couldn't be seen in the entire Grey Beastman Tribe. Instead, there were some sturdy buildings filled with the smell of metal, just like the metropolises of his previous life.
The main road was covered with railway tracks that ran through the entire stronghold, and there were specially made mechanical cars that constantly shuttled back and forth in the stronghold.
Both sides of the road were lined with shops, most of them related to puppets. They sold all kinds of materials, all kinds of components, mana reactors, control systems, and finished puppets.
The most eye-catching feature of the factory in front of him was the three huge chimneys with all kinds of machinery inside.
The frail bodies of these Grey Beastmen made them unable to do heavy physical work, so there were auxiliary machinery everywhere. The cutting, polishing, and manufacturing of components were all done by machinery.
Only the crucial rune carving and the array carving were manually done by the Grey Beastmen.
Dunas was only an ordinary Alchemist. As the leader, he followed the traditions of the Grey Beastmen, and he was only a 2nd Rank Archmage. He couldn't be considered a powerhouse of the Grey Beastman Tribe.
This was different from the other Beastman Tribes, where the leaders were usually the strongest powerhouses. The Grey Beastmen were all infatuated with puppeteering and weren't willing to participate in this kind of time-wasting management.
Dunas cautiously followed behind Lin Yun and kept introducing everything in the factory to Lin Yun.
As they walked, Lin Yun suddenly stopped and stared at something in the corner.
It was a small sphere not much bigger than a fist. It was covered in perfectly straight lines, and the bends of the lines were all perfectly straight angles.
After all, in almost all arrays, these kinds of patterns were arcs. These were the patterns that guaranteed the smoothness of the energy circulation.
Thus, almost all the arrays were circular or elliptical. There were very few triangular arrays.
This kind of right-angle pattern was rarely used in alchemy arrays, let alone this kind of array. It simply didn't exist in this era!
Lin Yun walked over with large strides and casually picked up the fist-sized sphere. He frowned, disbelief visible in his eyes.
Max Mana Reactor!
How could Lin Yun not recognize this thing? This was an era-defining achievement of the Mana Reactor.
As the energy supply system of a puppet, it was the most important part of the puppet. It was equivalent to the puppet's heart. Only when the heart was powerful enough could it push the other parts to develop.
And if the heart wasn't powerful enough, no matter how powerful the other parts were, they wouldn't be able to display their power and would even limit the puppet's abilities.
And this Max Mana Reactor could provide a powerful energy supply for the puppet. Puppets under the Heaven Rank could increase their overall strength by at least 30% after using this Max Mana Reactor!
Some casting puppets that consumed a lot of energy could even increase their fighting strength by 50%!
This wasn't the important point. The important point was that Lin Yun clearly remembered that the Max Mana Reactor would appear 140 years later!
One hundred and forty years later, it was created by a female Artisan named Max!
That female Artisan was famous in Noscent because of the Max Mana Reactor. She herself was also jokingly called Big-Breasted Max because the Max Mana Reactor provided sufficient mana for the puppets, making all the puppets full of mana.
At the end of the magic era, the decaying library even recorded this anecdote. From this, it could be seen how much of an influence the Max Mana Reactor had on the puppets!
But that thing would only appear 140 years later, how could it appear now!?
Horror could be seen in Lin Yun's eyes. After such a long time, apart from his own creations, this was the first time he saw something that transcended the era. How could he not be shocked?
Lin Yun had personally dismantled the Max Mana Reactor at the end of the magic era, so how could he not recognize the iconic right-angled pattern?
After getting his hands on it, Lin Yun was even more certain that this was the Max Mana Reactor!
"Sir Merlin, this Mana Reactor is a whimsical failure. We have a large number of whimsical failures here every day. If you are interested, I can show you …" Dunas smiled as he looked at Lin Yun in a daze for a long time.
After looking at Lin Yun for a long time, he cautiously said, "Sir Merlin, this Mana Reactor is a whimsical failure. We have a large number of whimsical failures here every day.
It simply couldn't be used as a Mana Reactor. This Mana Reactor had the same shape as the Max Mana Reactor, and the most typical feature was the right-angled pattern. Moreover, the Mana Reactor required two mana crystals of completely opposite attributes, a fire mana crystal and an ice mana crystal.
That Mana Reactor had the same shape as Max Mana Reactor, and its most typical feature was a full right-angle pattern. Moreover, the materials needed for the Mana Reactor were two mana crystals of completely opposite attributes, a fire mana crystal and an ice mana crystal.
The principle was to use the explosive power of the conflict between the fire and ice power, and not directly use the power of the mana crystals. The explosive power of that conflict was extremely powerful, and after being guided by the Mana Reactor, the energy it could provide would far surpass the power of the two mana crystals.
More importantly, the two mana crystals of completely opposite attributes could be used for a very long time. Not only would it provide an even more powerful burst of mana, but it would also last ten times longer than if it had only used mana crystals.
This was a product that transcended its era!
Although it was only a half-finished product and couldn't be used as a normal Mana Reactor, the design and conception were all there. The only difference was that it would take a very long time to slowly adjust the details of the experiment.
This process might take a few decades, or even a hundred years.
If nothing unexpected happened, this thing would spread, and after countless experiments, the Artisan named Max would finally be able to produce a finished product over a hundred years later.
Lin Yun's eyes shone as he held the Mana Reactor. The creator of this Mana Reactor was definitely a genius, a genius that surpassed this era. Regardless of the other party's alchemy title, this couldn't be erased. The other party's thoughts and ideas, as well as their achievements in the field of puppeteering, definitely surpassed this era by a few decades, or even a hundred years.
Although the Max Mana Reactor could only be considered a standard for low-level puppets in the future, and there were even more powerful Mana Reactors, a better and cheaper Mana Reactor than this one definitely couldn't be found in this era.
Lin Yun could make a stronger and better one, he could even use the Hydra Heart as a Mana Reactor that didn't need to add fuel or replace mana crystals.
But this was a situation where there was a disparity in knowledge. If someone born and raised in this era could design a half-finished Max Mana Reactor, they would definitely be very bold and powerful in the field of puppeteering.
As he held the Mana Reactor, Lin Yun looked at Dunas.
"Who made this thing?"
Dunas revealed a smile, as if he really knew who had designed and created this thing.
"Sir Merlin, we receive all kinds of bold designs every day. I might not know if you asked about anything else, but I do know about this one. This was designed by the only Artisan of our Grey Beastmen's fort, Sir Crowits. But it is only a half-finished product and can't be used as a Mana Reactor. It can't provide mana to the puppet, and it's too dangerous. If something goes wrong, it might explode …"
