Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, the man and the snake — even though the snake's original appearance could no longer be seen — were doing something incredible. In fact, at the core, the friendship between the man and the snake was about to explode.
There was a saying: "Greedy and greedy." When things went extremely smoothly, one's heart would be bigger.
Speaking of which, this was human nature. Not everyone was like a certain transmigrator who had experienced the beating of society, looking for a way out when encountering a problem, and being cautious when taking benefits.
Living in a related world where the Lost Land was the most important thing was to be able to climb to the top, regardless of good or bad, and grab everything that came into their own bowl first! Without this greedy ruthlessness, in this world where life and death were at stake, one would not be able to climb to the top.
Therefore, when a certain someone stepped in to help, things became much smoother than the original messy situation. Odessa wanted to have more functions and change itself into a bigger body. And he did so.
The elemental creatures themselves dominated everything in the transformation, and this autonomy was not erased by Lin. It was precisely because they could control their own fate and not be passively changed into a form that they did not want, that so many elemental creatures were willing to transform into robots and become a part of this race.
During the transformation process, looking at the options given by the fire seed, it was enough to dazzle one's eyes. Perhaps they wouldn't change their minds midway and make a 180-degree turn in the direction they had chosen, but some small changes were inevitable.
However, for the robots, their bodies were relatively small — compared to the current battleship size of the Snake King — and the transformation speed was also quite fast. Basically, there were not many opportunities to change the original design midway.
Most of the robots would choose to use it. Anyway, if there was a need, there could be a second or third transformation. First, try to use the existing body and obtain the data and feelings after using it, which was also conducive to the choice of the second transformation direction.
However, the process of the Snake King building the ship's body was too long. Moreover, his way of thinking was different from other elemental creatures. As a result, when he thought about such systematic and logical things, he was much faster than others.
This meant that Odessa would have more time to take the lead in the transformation process. Therefore, he added in the functions that he had been hesitating about whether or not he should add in, and equipped the equipment that he should use.
What gave this giant snake the confidence to make such a bold decision, apart from the smooth intervention of a certain someone, was that there was indeed spare space for the nuclear fusion reactor transformed from the core of his sprite.
According to the calculation results, the output power of Odessa's reactor could support a hull that was two or three times larger than his original design. Previously, they had made a rather conservative design only because there was not much information about the battleships that Cassette Cutting had smuggled into the Pyro Company. The ship that Odessa had chosen was already the largest design available.
Fortunately, he did not overestimate himself and do unnecessary things, such as enlarging the hull design and installing more cannons. If he really did that, he was afraid that the disaster in the early stages of the transformation would come even more fiercely. It might even be impossible to clean up.
However, the success in front of him undoubtedly made Odessa feel more confident. Therefore, some of the things that he originally hesitated to do but did not dare to do were now added in.
For a certain someone, what would it be like if a member suddenly improvised and played a solo in a song that had already been composed? This was because a certain someone was capable enough to pull back the battleship construction work that was on the verge of going out of control. Otherwise, the disaster that was about to happen this time was likely to be even more serious than before. More importantly, it might even implicate him.
However, a certain someone who was already riding a tiger could not back down. Other than gnashing his teeth in hatred, he could not easily give up. In any case, Snake King Odessa, who had taken the initiative to join, was a very important ally, and could not be easily given up. Therefore, he could only pull the reins of this wild horse with all his might, hoping that he could control the situation before it ran off.
However, the snake that was set free and the person who was working hard to clean it up did not expect an accident, and that was, a lack of materials!
The Lava Sea in the Earth Elemental Plane was supposed to have the richest reserves of materials, and this was indeed the case. Most of the materials in the sea were actually 'dregs' from other planes. They were stirred up in this sea and smelted again before they could be transformed into magic materials in the true sense of the word.
After becoming magic materials, these things would follow the tide of the Earth Elemental Plane and pile up on the shore. After continuous accumulation, they would form land, and then with the movement of the earth's crust, they would become various terrains. The time to complete all of this was the same as on Earth, thousands of years, or even longer.
In other words, in such a huge 'sea', there was actually only a part of the materials that could be used for the machines to construct themselves; the rest were ordinary materials that had not yet been transformed. And what just happened to be suitable for use was another part of this part. After all, the types of materials in the sea were quite heterogeneous. Which type would be preferred depended entirely on luck, and it was not necessarily what a certain person needed.
The Snake King wanted to construct the hull of the battleship, and the main material was of course metal. It was not that stones and gemstones could not be used, it was just that the amount needed was not so much. But this' not so much 'was compared to the proportion of the overall amount used.
Less than one-thousandth, or even one-ten-thousandth of the amount used, it did not seem like much. But in terms of actual weight, if one did not pay attention to purity, it would not be difficult to create one or two gemstones.
Building a battleship, and a battleship that was constantly growing at the design level, required a huge amount of materials that were far beyond the imagination of the man and the snake, and even beyond the burden of this Lava Sea. Although the sea would be interconnected with the tide and the ocean currents, the Lava Sea was not the ocean of Earth or the land of mystery after all, and the speed of flow and exchange was not as fast as imagined.
After the original body of the Snake King was swallowed up, Odessa extracted the magic materials from the Lava Sea in the manner of a whale swallowing. Then according to the type of material, it was sent to various parts of the hull to be turned into spare parts. But the lava currents that filled the gap could not catch up in time, and a large part of the Lava Sea, which made the elemental creatures pale at the mention of it, was suddenly sucked dry.
Originally under the traction of the electric light emitted by the nuclear reactor, the ocean that seemed to be flowing against the sky was now only left with a few small waterspouts that were sucked into the scope of the Snake King's transformation, filling the hull that was constantly being formed. However, everyone could see that the Snake King's new body was still far from completion, and there was still a considerable gap.
As the saying goes, blessings do not come in pairs, and misfortunes do not come singly.
Before he could think of a way to solve the problem of the lack of materials, a second miscalculation suddenly came crashing down, catching a certain someone off guard. That was, the energy output of the reactor was insufficient. And the situation was not as a certain someone had imagined at the beginning.
