Time flies, and it has been four years.
In this way, Xie Yuan expanded the armaments on the side of Enkara Dean and methodically regained the lost territory of the Forge World that was occupied by aliens. At the same time, he was still monitoring the progress of building the spaceship.
From the beginning, Xie Yuan was practicing basic craftsmanship with the sage Yin Er Satalair.
The title of Yin Er Satalal is a ruling sage - he is a large-scale cyborg whose hands and feet have been modified into metal prostheses, and a large number of mechanical arms are added to the back. He is a senior technical priest who is proficient in combat.
But even so, Yin Er can be regarded as a technology priest with top technology, and the sage Yin Er was the first person Xie Yuan met, so he learned skills from him.
However, in private, in order to enhance contact and learn more, Xie Yuan also provided some other weapon blueprint information to Sage Yin Er - such as the particle rifle that he wanted to study at a glance.
Sure enough, eating people has short mouths, and taking people has short hands. Since Xie Yuan was so concerned, Sage Yin Er started teaching it very seriously.
The profession of a craftsman requires that after many years of study, one can master the prayer rituals and a large amount of knowledge that constitute the main part of his mechanical knowledge system, and have a deep understanding of the more practical mechanical and electronic professions.
But in the case of Enkara Dean, although Xie Yuan was awarded the title of Engineer, the title of Engineer did not really count without being certified by Mars - so in fact, the foundry director was able to overcome all opinions and let Everyone agreed that the title given to Xie Yuan was "Master of Casting."
The title Master E refers to a senior technician who does not fully believe in the Ohm Messiah, but who also has superb skills.
This is an ancient title, with honor but no substantial power. It first appeared when the Cult of Mechanicus was the first religion to create an honorary title in order to win over old technicians who did not believe in the God of All Machines in the past, but had superb craftsmanship.
The difference between a foundry master and a technical priest is like the difference between a Buddhist layman and a monk, or the difference between a Taoist priest and a Taoist priest.
But later, when the Mechanicum grew larger and gradually unified Mars, the title Master Forger was no longer given out - because every new person who joined later was a member of the Mechanicum, and who could accept it? What about a titular title?
In fact, casting masters cannot be taught privately by the foundry director of a branch. They also need to be authorized by the Mars General Forum before the certificate can be given and then filed.
However, this is not a problem. As long as the contact with the Mars General Forum is restored and the relevant personnel files are sent to the General Forum, it can be simply entered into the file - but this information must be obtained from the Sage Conference. Only with the authorization of all the sages here can it be officially effective.
But the problem is that everyone at the sage meeting would rather agree to the title of Forging Master than to grant the title of Gongsmith - although they basically agree with the relevant knowledge imparted to Xie Yuan Gongsmith.
Because the former is in name only, after reaching the title of Master of Forging, it is basically impossible to rise, and it is impossible to get the chance to compete for real power here; the latter is in name, by chance, as long as you upgrade and obtain the title of Sage, you can Fight with them for power.
Xie Yuan's teacher at this time was the sage Yin'er Satalair. He won the title of sage by daring to fight and fought hard, and occupied a place in the meeting of sages.
After all, Yin'er Satalal is still a local, so Xie Yuan is an outsider.
"We must not give him a chance to become big!" This was the common thought that flashed through the minds of most of the sages present at the meeting.
Therefore, no matter how much Xie Yuan's force is needed, the Chief Sage Person can only agree to give him the title of Master of Forging.
However, both craftsmen and masters of forging have a lot to learn, and it is the same: to acquire the knowledge necessary to wake up, maintain and repair machinery.
According to the teachings of the Cult of Mechanicus, all machines must have a "soul" - commonly known as machine soul.
Well, the Machine Soul that Xie Yuan has heard so far comes from Iron Man UR-025’s explanation: Machine Soul, the general term for the internal operations and automation systems in existing technology, is actually the so-called virtual intelligence, or weak intelligence - in order to circumvent The cover-up method imposed by the "Scarlet Agreement" signed at the beginning of the establishment of the Mechanicum, which stipulates that "research on intelligent technology is not allowed, and violators will be executed" - playing word games.
But for the priests in the Mechanicum, the machine soul represents another meaning: the normal operation of various items is not based on scientific principles but only when the machine soul inside is happy.
Xie Yuan didn't believe this statement when he heard it - if it was really so magical, why, as a guy with extremely strong mental power, couldn't he feel it at all?
But there is no way, this is learning. Even Xie Yuan secretly discovered that Sage Yin Er did not completely believe this, but he still taught this knowledge in great detail.
It's just that some of these methods almost made Xie Yuan amused.
Because this method actually includes incense!
Do you need to be so religious? ! If you have time to smoke incense, you might as well do more lubricant maintenance!
"Is this really effective?" One time, Xie Yuan was still practicing using the miniature incense burner on his hand, gently floating it above the weapon. The smell of incense was not bad, so Xie Yuan, who was in a good mood, asked this question.
But Xie Yuan soon regretted asking this - this was not a discussion of the law, Xie Yuan's question simply questioned the doctrine, and he simply remained expressionless, as if he was not aware of the seriousness of the problem at all.
However, Sage Yin Er just blinked his eyes and responded: "There are metaphysical elements in it. Whether it can succeed depends on whether you are pious. At the same time, it also needs to be whether the raw materials used in the incense are the correct ones. Some People can still succeed sometimes.”
"Then what I believe..." Xie Yuan looked at the miniature incense burner in his hand that was shaking slightly above the device, "Is it correct?"
"At least that's how we all use it." Sage Yin'er answered calmly.
Xie Yuan nodded in understanding and stopped asking.
As a craftsman who has become a monk on the way, Xie Yuan's craftsmanship has already been established. He has rich experience in repairing and recycling ships, vehicles, other equipment, and small weapons.
So after two and a half years of settling in the Inkaradian Forge World, Xie Yuan's learning venue was upgraded from the ground to their frigate.
At the same time, he also began to be formally involved in the construction project of his own spaceship, and gradually emerged from the great cause of recovery.
…
In fact, it was supposed to take one and a half years to come up, but because we had to focus on recovery, it was only counted as two years.
In the past two years, after Xie Yuan's mutant cultivation equipment, mecha manufacturing equipment and drone armor manufacturing equipment were all set up, in just half a year, the technical priests basically understood the technology and expanded production capacity.
However, except for the fact that mutant breeding is original and they don't need to make much changes, they have changed the other two beyond recognition.
The source of mutants is easy to deal with, because the exploration fleet still remains. The priests only need to use transport ships to recruit a large number of volunteers from the nearby Urdu, which has degenerated into an indigenous world in the name of God, and lie down in the transformation cabin. .
The cost of recruiting tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people is only a hundred advanced weapons and a few small knight mechas, and to get these Urdu has to offer a lot of food.
In just one month, they were able to use original equipment to produce 1,000 mutant soldiers of various professions, and the transformation success rate was rarely maintained at 80%.
To be honest, Xie Yuan is a bit strange: How could an extremely rare type of psychic soldier, a soldier who feeds on innate food, appear in a training facility in this world?
Although the productivity rate is only an astonishingly low 1%, 1% of 100,000 people has nearly 1,000 people - this is a force that cannot be ignored.
After they mastered the technology and began to increase production, they were able to transform 5,000 mutants in the first month, but the success rate was only 75% - because they didn't know why they had to remove their knees and replace them with ones with the characteristics of the Mechanicum. of mechanical prosthetic lower legs, which increases the chance of infection.
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
However, Xie Yuan's raw materials had been used up before. He was only the chief instructor and general advisor of this newly formed army of hunters, so he had no desire to express his opinion.
And not to mention that they increase production every other month, they even free up part of the equipment to transform servitors like an assembly line - the priests are really talented when it comes to torturing people.
Servitors, as a specialty product of the Cult of Mechanicus, are drones made of brainless flesh and machinery. They are used to do simple and highly repetitive tasks - in other words, they are enhanced semi-automatic machines that have had their brains removed or modified. Robot.
There are many kinds of servitors, each with a special purpose. Typical commonly used models include: "technician type" which is used to operate and maintain a variety of machines; "holographic type" which is used as a holographic projection device recording device; "computing type" which has powerful computing capabilities like a humanoid computer; " "Slaves" are stupid and essentially brainless slaves who are similar to flesh-and-blood robots and are used to do menial jobs.
Unfortunately, as one of the courses for craftsmen, Xie Yuan also had to master this extremely anti-human slave-making method.
However, the good thing is that the servitors here are all products of clone cultivation tanks and are not made by local people from Urdu - now the chief sage is extremely short of a large amount of army power, and basically sent Urdu People are transformed into mutant hunters.
After Xie Yuan finished producing his own accessories, the MEC robot production line and long-legged mecha line were completely changed, and they added their own characteristics to the new materials.
This feature is that after they completed the large framework, they replaced Xie Yuan's computational logic framework with another intelligence - human brain intelligence.
Yes, the mechanical priests are still afraid of the unpardonable punishment brought by the Crimson Agreement, but they know that fighting without heavy weapons is impossible.
But the shortest Titan is more than ten meters tall, and the knight is also several meters tall. Many small blocked places cannot be penetrated at all. If the hunter alone is relied on, the hunter of flesh and blood is too fragile.
Therefore, the MEC series and long-legged mecha brought by Xie Yuan just happened to save their field - both the MEC series and the long-legged mecha are gadgets that are no more than four meters high, and they have all kinds of corners in the forging world. Can drill in.
Moreover, MEC can carry powerful weapons with it, but its defense is much higher than that of cannon servitors that can also carry heavy weapons, and its combat efficiency is also very high.
The long-legged mecha "Destroyer" is a typical type of small boat cannon. Its burst cannon can cause huge damage, and once its thighs are straightened, it can use the range-attack Fury Cannon at a height advantage. It also has a very strong life-saving ability. It can release a lightning force field with electric shock ability on its feet - even if it dies, it can cause self-destruction when surrounded by enemies, which is very powerful.
At this time, the Mechanic Priest loved these two exquisite but very powerful mechanical creations, so he wanted to mass-produce these mechanical creations and keep them as the main force. After several attempts, they decided to put human heads into the long-legged mecha and the intelligent processor of the MEC robot, and then tried to fit them perfectly.
They succeeded, and so far they have improved two new, large amounts of mechanical cannon fodder - the Ranger-class combat humanoid and the kangaroo-type bipedal mecha.
There are a few things that they can't figure out no matter how hard they study - infantry combat vehicles with mass effect fields, shuttles and gunships - the biggest problem is that there are no extra zero elements around them to study... and this is thanks to A specialty of the Yuan world.
For this reason, Xie Yuan proposed that the next time he brings a ship to Encaladeen, in addition to bringing alloys and transuranic crystals, he will also bring zero elements that make up the mass effect field for trading.
This made the Mechanic Priest, who really couldn't figure out what the zero element was, could only "happily agree" because the major counterattack was about to begin soon.
In the next year, what Xie Yuan has to do is to let them perfectly learn how to use a three-dimensional all-round attack, supplemented by the mobile warfare cooperation of the mutant robots led by Xie Yuan himself, and gradually integrate each An invaded stronghold was cleaned up.
Then every time a land is conquered, a designated sage will lead his private guards to the lost land in the later stage to arrange defense, and immediately assess the damage and restore production capacity immediately.
This is a great good thing that benefits everyone, and the power used is not their own, so all the sages began to unite under this great benefit, work together, and jointly promote the great cause of regaining the lost land.
As the old saying goes: When people unite, the mountains will move. When the great sage Person takes the risk, and an elite military organization like Xie Yuan takes the lead in training, and the subsequent sages only need to guard their own territory, the burst of energy is extremely powerful.
Therefore, one year later, Xie Yuan could put down the heavy burden of recovery and at the same time begin to enter space to supervise the progress of his shipbuilding. What is strange is that in the past three years, pirates spit out from the subspace turbulence There are very few remaining fleets that can be easily dealt with.
Therefore, this became the argument of the great sage Person that Xie Yuan was the messenger sent by Om Messiah to help them - thus the discussion of some sages who were prejudiced against Xie Yuan "getting" a ship in vain Also disappeared.
Xie Yuan didn't think he was a person sent by Ohm Messiah. He had to know that the guy who asked him to come here early was a subspace creature called the Lord of Changes.
As for what she wants to do, Xie Yuan is not sure, but he never thinks about it - if he thinks too much, he will easily fall into the trap of some planners who know the secrets of heaven and are good at making moves.
For this kind of power, the best way to deal with it is to follow your established goals. At the same time, don't worry about gains and losses, take the bottom line of not being defeated or dying, and if you act upright and sit up straight, people who are not angry about the plan will naturally come to help.
With the overall situation decided, the sages were already sharing the fruits of victory at the meeting, and Xie Yuan was leading all the more than a thousand MEC robots that had been built to confront the technical priests who built the spacecraft and their mechanic servants. The planned four spacecraft keels are being worked on simultaneously.
Therefore, Xie Yuancai rushed to build what Xie Yuan saw as a huge spaceship one year ahead of schedule within the five years planned by the Mechanic Priest.
"Have you given him a name?" Standing in front of the transparent porthole of the Zeta, Sage Yin Er who came to see him off asked Xie Yuan while looking at the new ship in front of him.
At this time, Xie Yuan was still wearing the combat-enclosed armor of the Cerberus Warriors, but what was different from four years ago was that his shoulders had been painted with a black and white mechanical skull shape on top of his head.
He is already Xie Yuan, the casting master recognized by all the sages.
"Well..." Xie Yuan glanced at the ship's name being painted by the servitor, then turned to answer Yin Er.
"To commemorate my four years of military experience, she is now named Guangfu."
