The magical civilization of Ashan has a long history.
Although the magic technology of the ancient Shantiri Empire has long been lost, the mages of later generations have still made great achievements in the path of magic.
In the Silver City-State, the use of magic is very convenient. As long as the mage apprentice's magic power reaches the first level, he can create fire and water out of thin air.
Intermediate mages of level three or above can gain advantages in battles with most creatures of the same level.
More powerful high-level mages can gain the ability to move mountains and reclaim seas through forbidden spell-level spells.
With their transcendent social status, the hard and heavy basic production work can be left to slaves, and mages can use spells to solve most problems they encounter with a wave of their hands.
Therefore, most mages love to build magnificent floating cities, but few will try to build a low-cost general-purpose power machine.
This behavior is not only stupid, but also unnecessary. For a proud mage, it is unnecessary.
If the Silver City-State did not have the soil to invent power machinery, the Holy Empire simply did not have such capabilities.
Come and try it quickly. 】
For a long period of time in the history of the Empire, especially during the years of hostilities with the Silver Cities, the Holy Order openly declared that the unauthorized study of magic other than light magic was heretical.
To this day, the greatest application of machinery in the ancient Holy Empire is limited to grain mills driven by waterwheels and windmills.
This is why Li Ran requested to speed up the progress of the prime mover project.
As residents of the cyber era, Adventers know best the huge advantages brought by the explosion of technology.
Since the opening of the server, many consortiums and guilds have invested large sums of money in the field of magic technology, but due to various reasons, most progress has been slow.
Only Star Wind Leader and Fantasy Sea Guild have achieved some impressive results.
In the coming period, whoever can make a breakthrough in the field of magic technology will have a huge first-mover advantage.
Wilderness City Industrial Zone, Magic Energy Foundry.
Master Pei Ji is introducing the progress of the prime mover project.
He pointed to a piece of steel that had been burnt to carbon black and explained:
"The success of the Shadow Bomb inspired us. This is a trial version of the Shadow Engine. We have tattooed a large number of runes on the inside of the cylinder, hoping to drive the connecting rod movement through continuous explosions of Shadow Magic. However, the biggest problem with this plan is The problem is that the shadow energy has a seepage effect and can penetrate the sealed cylinder, which will cause the explosion to be out of control and the energy to escape..."
Yin Besi immediately asked: "Have you ever considered changing the machine materials?"
Pei Ji's voice was full of helplessness: "Even if we use the strongest magic metal as raw material, we can't control the out-of-control and erosion of the shadow explosion."
Yin Besi turned her head and looked at the mechanical tribe aside.
"Gabriel, did you remember anything?"
"No, the core of my memory is still blank," Gabriel said, "But I have to say that your use of energy seems to be still in a very primitive stage..."
"do you have any good advice?"
"Perhaps I could do it in the past, but I lost my memory," Gabriel shook his head, "Moreover, the ways of using psychic energy and magic are completely different. Even if I could remember those psychic laws, I probably wouldn't be able to remember them given your level of technology. understand."
After the disappointing conversation, Pei Ji led Yin Bessi to another room in the foundry.
Here, a huge two-meter-tall metal machine is slowly turning.
Yin Besi said in surprise: "What kind of machine is this? It can run stably!"
Pei Ji's expression was quite awkward. He sighed, walked to the front of the machine, and introduced to the minister:
"This is a power machine with air magic as its core. We refer to the floating city components of Silver City State and set up many one-way fan blades that can convert magic energy into buoyancy."
"It can indeed operate. When these fan blades rotate, they can drive the shaft in the middle, but this poor power has no explosive power. To create a floating city requires thousands of similar magical energy mechanisms, and all of them All it can do is create stable buoyancy."
"The power generated by this machine now can only push itself to rotate. It will stop as long as a little weight is added, and it cannot meet the demand for any additional work."
Yin Beisi said with a serious expression: "I understand, the energy conversion efficiency of this machine is too low and it cannot be used for production at all."
She thought for a moment and asked, "Do we have any other feasible research and development directions now?"
Pei Ji was a little frustrated and said: "They are all here, Minister. The other machines are either destroyed or cannot be manufactured at all."
"We have some design drawings that look very cool, but the complexity is beyond compare. Even the most skilled blood blacksmith cannot make it by hand."
Yin Besi stared at the silently running machine and said in a serious voice: "We still have a long way to go. Gabriel is right. Our way of using energy is too primitive..."
Suddenly, her voice choked.
"Wait a minute, where is Gabriel? Have you seen that stupid machine race?"
Pei Ji said in a panic: "Sorry, Minister, I didn't pay attention at all!"
"Damn it! I should have let the guards watch him!" Yin Bessi said bitterly, "Pei Ji, seal the foundry immediately. We can't let him escape!"
The orderly magic energy foundry suddenly fell into chaos. The guards rushed in and searched for traces of the mechanical clan in each workshop.
However, to their surprise, Gabriel did not run far away.
When Yin Besi and Pei Ji arrived, soldiers had already cordoned off the scene.
Gabriel walked into a sealed workshop at some point. The huge psychic machinery was covered with dust, and the amnesiac Mechanical Saint was wandering among it.
Wherever the mechanical clan's thin body went, a low humming sound was heard from the psychic machinery.
"He is trying to activate the legacy of those mechanical tribes, minister, we must stop him!" Pei Ji said in a panic.
Under his instigation, the research mages immediately began to recite incantations, and the guards also raised their weapons, preparing to knock down the wandering robots.
"Everyone stop it!"
Yin Besi shouted loudly.
She observed the actions of the mechanical tribe with a stern expression.
Gabriel's bionic face looked pleased, as if he was communicating with those psychic machines.
As a high-level mechanical emissary, it is not surprising that Gabriel can drive these dusty psychic machines.
The Wilderness City was originally a mechanical base that had lost control and fallen into dormancy.
After the Battle of Starwind City, Gabriel's memory was erased for unknown reasons, showing a high degree of kindness to other beings.
If he can really freely control these psychic machines that cannot be understood by ordinary people, and even use the authority of the Mechanical Holy Envoy to drive the entire Mechanical City for the use of the Star Wind Territory...
The tremendous value he brings will be immeasurable.
However, if he recovers the brutal memory of the Mechanical Holy Envoy and recalls the bloody mission of crushing all living beings in Ashan, I am afraid that this huge mechanical city will inevitably become Gabriel's tool of revenge.
Yin Beisi decided to take a gamble.
At this time, there were no changes outside, which meant that the scope of influence of Gabriel's ability was limited to the machines in front of him.
In this case, the losses and risks are within control.
Once he makes a hostile move, Yin Bessi will personally end the life of the Mechanical Holy Envoy.
Suddenly, Gabriel noticed movement at the door.
He raised his head and stared at Yin Beisi nervously.
What would he do? Control those robotic arms and attack us?
Yin Besi raised her staff, ready to cast a deadly torrent of spells at any time.
In the suffocating confrontation, Gabriel spoke first.
His electric synths are irreverently apologetic.
"Sorry, Miss Yin Beisi, I felt that these machines were calling me, and I seemed to have the authority to wake them up, so I came here on my own initiative."
"Although, I still didn't think of anything..." Gabriel was obviously panicking, "Are you going to kill me?"
Yin Beisi breathed a long sigh of relief.
"No, Gabriel, I won't do that," she laughed, "I just hope you can demonstrate to me how to use the psychic machine in front of you..."
