Seven days have passed since the first battle in the earth elemental plane, the transition between the old and new generations. According to the speed at which primitive fire transforms robots, most of the more than 10,000 elemental creatures are still waiting.
But in fact, there are very few elemental creatures that have not yet undergone transformation. They all looked with envy at their companions who had been transformed first and were undergoing various adaptive training in order to become familiar with their new bodies.
For now, no one has expressed dissatisfaction with the modified robot body. If we really want to talk about the voice of complaint, it is a group of pocket-sized little guys who brag all day long about what they would do if they didn't have it. They accept the transformation in a complete state, and today they are also leader-level robots.
But just listen to these words. Those who know the details will know that these little guys who like to talk nonsense have never fought hard on a frontal battlefield and surrendered with just a minor injury. But no one went to expose them. Anyway, everyone knew it well, and they would not really be dissatisfied with the holder of the fire, the magician from the Lost Land, because of those big words.
The reason why the renovation progress can be accelerated is because the difficulties encountered at the beginning, the obstacles of carrying out multiple renovation works at once, were overcome unconsciously.
Originally, using fire to transform multiple elemental creatures at once would contaminate their souls. This is the main reason why the transformation speed cannot be increased.
But the fire, or this growth-type artifact that contains the will of all robots, seems to understand its own shortcomings. As Fire continued to transform robots, it was also undergoing its own transformation, and changes occurred that Lin was not aware of.
During a certain transformation, a newly added leader-level robot proposed to give him multiple original companions while simultaneously transforming the fire. Of course, the previous failure experience was used as a warning to the other party, but the leader was quite stubborn and said that he was confident that there would be no original shortcomings.
Of course, Lin didn't want to attack the opponent with his full confidence. And regarding that sworn persistence, Lin thought of the unreasonableness of this idealistic world, and decided to give it another try. If it really works, it won't save a lot of time.
Since it is just a try, of course it is impossible to get the number of people in a row in one go. Instead, let two elemental creatures with relatively less serious damage be allowed to transform the fire at the same time. If it is so unfortunate and an accident occurs again, the souls of these two elemental creatures with relatively strong core conditions will not be too seriously polluted, and the aftermath will be relatively simple.
Surprisingly, the process was quite smooth, and there was no mutual contamination of souls. Two ordinary robots, you are you and I am me, there is nothing abnormal. So when Lin was undergoing transformation in the next batch, he tried to increase the number of people who underwent the fire transformation at the same time.
First three, then four, and then increasing in sequence, and observing the patterns. And the reasons why it was not possible before but is possible now, and how the fire itself is different from before.
In the end, Lin discovered a magic pattern on the complex and exquisite sphere that did not exist before. And it is not a pattern that is an independent extension of the original magic pattern. It is a magic pattern with a completely new function, related to the soul. Although he hasn't fully understood it yet, Lin still recorded this new magic pattern first and will study it later when he has time.
After making the first discovery, it is not that difficult to test the upper limit of the number of people who can be transformed at the same time. Of course, Lin will not directly conduct human experiments to see how many people will be put into the transformation at one time. Instead, it detects data from all aspects to calculate the possible value of the limit.
In line with the principle of being careful, Lin would rather go slow than to cause problems during the transformation process, which would undermine the confidence of the elemental creatures in transformation; or spend a lot of effort to clean up the aftermath.
And all transformation processes are not carried out in one place. In addition to the pocket-sized robots, even ordinary robots need external materials to supplement them during the transformation process. Therefore, Lin, elemental creatures and robots, like nomads, move towards the next location when the mineral resources in an area are almost plundered.
In addition to adaptability training for the transformed robots, some robots who were already familiar with the new body, or who were eager to conduct actual combat to verify themselves, dispersed in small groups and headed in various directions. The target is of course those elemental creatures that have not been transformed.
Those backward creatures will become his touchstone, and after defeating them, he will bring them back to be transformed by fire and become his new companions. This also saves the large army from the trouble of having to travel around in detours in order to gather the elemental creatures that can be transformed by fire.
After all, there are many settlements with quite small populations. If the tens of thousands of troops could not be stopped along the way, they would not be able to deliberately change their direction just for a few dozen people. At this time, a small force's partial division is quite useful. The reason why someone did not do this at the beginning was simply because the initial number of people was not large enough to support the division of troops.
Nowadays, the number of robots exceeds 10,000, not to mention dividing a bunch of small troops to fight guerrillas; it is also very easy to divide into several large groups and conquer in different directions. But there is only one kind of fire, which limits the possibility of rapid development of the robot race.
And those voices of 'create a few more fire seeds' only exist in the elemental creatures that have not yet undergone transformation. When they transformed their life forms into members of the robot race, they understood that there could only be, and should only be, one core of the entire race.
Creating a few more fire seeds is like making a declaration of splitting the ethnic group. Just like between robots and primitive elemental creatures, although no one said it clearly, they understood that the battle for the route was already a never-ending situation. The war will not stop until one party completely disappears from the earth elemental plane. Who knows that the resources they are fighting for are the same thing.
This does not refer to foreign objects such as mineral deposits and substances. Those things are only used to enhance the physical strength of elemental creatures. What the two major forces will compete for in the future is 'population'. If one side increases, the other side will inevitably decrease. In order to achieve fire, robots must continue to add companions. After all, they are the ones who get the most direct benefit from the success of Tinder.
Whether this road has an end, in fact, even Lin can't see clearly.
Maybe I have created a very aggressive race, and it is also a high-tech kind... Such thoughts come to someone's mind from time to time.
On this day, the army was stationed in a bay.
The unique landscape of the lava sea on the earth elemental plane also has high tides, low tides, and waves hitting the shore. The difference is that coastal beaches are not a good place to play. Because the sea on the earth elemental plane is a low-temperature magma that will melt all tangible materials into it. At least Lin has not heard of any living creatures in this sea, or that there are ships that can sail on it.
The purpose of coming here is of course to transform the Snake King and the elemental creatures attached to it. Because in addition to being dangerous, this sea is also the place with the richest resources in the earth elemental plane. If you just want to exploit this place, you have to find some methods, otherwise you will just become a part of this sea.
