This steam engine man is actually not the kind of robot that can have independent thinking in the imagination, but a robot with an exoskeleton mecha, his body is tall, and he carries a miniature steam engine behind his back, and the small magic spar can provide him with sufficient power, which makes the robot able to exert extremely powerful power, and his operation does not rely on any intelligent system, but in the machine skeleton, a person is needed to operate directly, after all, it takes two years to develop a semi-intelligent combat robot with current technology, which is a little too unrealistic。

And to be honest, although it took Esther two years to develop this magic crystal that Lelouch saw for the first time among his descendants, his effect was much better than Lelouch expected, such a fist-sized crystal stone could glow with the energy provided by a medium-sized steam engine, and these energy were used in a special miniature steam machine, and his power was extremely powerful.

In fact, this can't be called a robot completely, or the exoskeleton is more suitable, maybe in the future, under the rotation of the steam gear, they can really turn out a simple intelligent system, but now they don't want to think about it, bite back and stutter, the road has to go step by step, and although this robot is not intelligent, his combat effectiveness is not reduced at all.

Lelouch now has no shortage of low-level and high-level combat power, there are three powerful military branches at the bottom, and even the Holy Guard Knights who are undergoing demonization are already moving towards super conventional combat power, maybe in the future, Lelouch will also be able to have a few troops that can defend head-on with the Mordor Guards, and the number of troops who want to wait and not fall behind.

But in the middle of the combat power, Leluxiu's Terran is completely in a blank state, Mordo has a heavy troll to fill the state, the number is enough, the combat power is strong, but the Terran side can only rely on cannons or muskets to shoot at close range to be able to barely kill a heavy trolls, the lack of middle combat power has always made Leluxiu very helpless, in the past, when the enemy was relatively weak, you can rely on the knight to act, but now it is difficult for the knight to assume the identity of the middle level of combat power, they can only be regarded as elite conventional combat power now, and the holy guard knight of the demon martial arts may be regarded as super conventional combat power。

But the new steam robot is different, he is a robot, which means that he can be produced in the factory assembly line, even if the speed is a little slower, it can also be continuously produced, this is a steady stream of soldiers, in the future, when there is a breakthrough in the intelligent system, it may be able to cancel the manpower consumption, and completely become an assembly line product.

This robot is still a laboratory product, and it has not yet been mass-produced, but it is not far from these, and Lelouch did not ask them to be fast enough, after all, the current Terrans are not afraid of any enemy except Mordor, and the Terrans are thankful that they don't fight other people, who would dare to fight against the Terrans?

Lelouch had plenty of time for Esther and the Steam scientists to refine their research on the mass production of the first combat robot.

Under the steam revolution, the human race is finally about to usher in a large-scale technological explosion!

The Magic Academy led by Esther is located in the sheltered mountain range, the predecessor of this place was the base camp of the church during the siege and suppression period, that is, the place where Wang Zifeng and his teacher discussed whether they should follow Lelouch or not, and now this place has already changed, under Leluxiu's attention, it is almost a matter of money, money and people, and in just two years, this place has completely changed.

Inside the basin, it seems to be extremely empty and flat, the ground is an atmospheric and exquisite building, on the road, there are even some street lamps that emit light, the researcher of the Magic Academy wearing a blue slim robe walks briskly on the quiet road, the road construction is very elegant, the two plates are full of lush flowers and plants, if the steam engineer's research city is a rough beauty, then here is a noble beauty.

In addition to the buildings in the basin below, on the slopes next to it, there are also dense buildings built one after another, the buildings here are more atmospheric, and they no longer look like those ordinary buildings, this is where the Academy of Magic Science conducts research, there are all kinds of scientific and technological research beyond the times, and they are all magical technology systems that the earth does not have, but these buildings cannot become the representative buildings of the Academy of Magic Sciences, because at the top of this strand mountain range, an exceptionally tall tower is almost about to burst into the sky, and next to the tower, there is a group of subsidiary towers that are constantly increasing in height, and these towers are arranged in a circle, around the main tower, and in these towers, there is also a wide aerial path, which he leans on, spirals up, and finally enters the main tower.

The towers are very elongated, but when you walk through the spiral road that seems to hang directly in the air, you still feel like you are walking in the sky.

At this time, on the corridor, a group of people walked like a small black dot on this wide road.

"Your Majesty, this latest magic tower was also put into use only a month ago, and in order to build this building, we called in no less than 10,000 steam workers, plus a hundred dragon vulture knights to help, and as for ordinary workers, it reached more than 50,000, and it took two years to complete. ”

The logistics director of the Academy of Magic Sciences, who was responsible for building this building, proudly announced his merits to Lelouxiu, for this kind of self-praise, Lelouch had no objection, after all, Lelouch felt that as long as you really made a result, then it was not a big deal to praise yourself, and Lelouch would not be stingy with rewards, after all, these things were far less valuable than the scientific and technological invention of an achievement for Leluxiu.

"I have to say that with the help of the steam engineer, this magnificent building can be possible, in the past, I never thought that magic would have such a formal research environment and supporting facilities, with the current magic tower, coupled with the super telescope newly researched by the steam engineer at the top of the tower, we can now finally explore the power of the stars at a higher level, but..."

Esther first praised the great role played by the steam engineers in the two years of the steam revolution, and then at the end there was anything to say or not, but Lelouch enjoyed the magnificent scenery in front of him and comforted:

"At present, although the overall power of the empire is rising, there are too many places to use money, so there is no way to use the astronomical telescope of this magic tower and the steam scientists, after all, this is also the result of their hard work. ”

Lelouche's statement made Esther not say anything, to be honest, at the beginning Esther still ran away, but as he stayed in the empire for more and more time, watching countless manpower and material resources leaning towards him, watching the huge scale and large number of people in front of him The magic academy is advancing day by day, his heart slowly calmed down, and then slowly became hot again, perhaps, here can really study some research that can only be thought about in the past, and can not be put into action at all, especially when the magic tower in front of him is really built, he is even more completely determined to complete countless magic research here that countless ancestors dare not think of。

In the past, the magicians of Middle-earth could only study the power of nature around them, and some ascetics might be able to appreciate the ice and snow magic on the top of a high mountain somewhere, and casually study some of the power of the stars that can only be regarded as insignificant, but now it is different, although the height of the magic tower here is far inferior to the highest peak, but this can almost be said to be the only place in the entire Middle-earth where people can study star magic so comfortably, and although the height here is not the peak, it is definitely the most advanced height, if you add the super telescope specially made by the steam engineer, their research effect is even more incomparable。

All of these have become the reason why Esther finally chose to stay, and the change of mentality has also made Esther's attitude towards Lelouch have changed greatly, at least now, Esther slowly recognizes Lelouch as his boss, the former Shadow Priest: The Dark Owl has gradually faded away, and the Great Wizard of the Empire is constantly becoming Esther's new identity.

"It's a pretty good place. ”

Lelouch looked at the blue sky directly outside the fence of the wide ladder, and admired it sincerely, and then said cordially to Esther, who was following him:

"I'm going to set up a few magic academies next, starting from the lowest elementary school, all the way to the university, and finally here, forming a system of magic technology education, and you may need to transfer some people to be teachers. ”

Lelouch's words made Esther's eyes widen in shock, if Lelouch supports his research, it can be regarded as a desire for magical power, then the current practice of building a school is really intended to systematize magic and incorporate it into normal academic research, instead of the previous heretical doctrine like a man-eating demon, if this news is released, then Lelouch will definitely be able to attract magicians from all over Middle-earth to come to serve, and Lelouch does not seem to prohibit death magic, anyway, there will still be many death row prisoners in the empire every year, and it is no problem to make some contributions to magic research when he dies。

And the current magic tower must also be a preparation for the establishment of a magic system, in addition to the star tower in the middle, the other secondary towers correspond to: life, death, nature (wind, fire, thunder and ice), light and darkness, space, time, Energy, these kinds of magic, even the most heretical death magic, Lelouch can almost meet what kind of monstrous waves can be set off among the magicians scattered all over Middle-earth, especially when they see the epic magic academy in front of them through the oil paintings, Esther believes that they will be as completely unable to resist Lelouch's recruitment as he is.

"That's a great idea, Esther is here to thank your majesty for your grace for all wandering mages!"

After speaking, Esther made a great gift to Lu Lu Xiu very deferentially, and Lu Lu Xiu completely accepted this worship, and then laughed heartily, the steam revolution is not enough for Lu Luxiu, far from enough, a magic revolution must also be carried out.

...

...

Red Dragon City, the city named after the earliest name of Lelouch is the capital of the Central Province, which has been extremely magnificent after two years of development, the wide city is surrounded by a tall city wall, but the rapidly expanding city is outside the city wall, and there are also continuous urban areas, perhaps because it is a new city, the vaporization layer of Red Dragon City is almost the highest among all cities, and it is the core transit point of the Terran to inland trade, which also makes it full of aliens.

Steam and alien races have made Red Dragon City completely become a typical representative of the city in the steampunk world, and has not received the complete cultural influence of the godsend, and the acceptance of new culture here is also the highest, how to say, the number of people wearing tuxedos in Red Dragon may be the most.

At this time, in the urban area of Honglong, the roads here are not clean and atmospheric, although the roads are also very wide, but the dense shops and pedestrians and vehicles on both sides make this place extremely dense, and the steam that comes out from all corners all the time makes the earth always carry a thin layer of water stains, as if after a light rain.

Deathwing wore a shabby black linen robe and buried his face deep in the shadow of his hat, and it was not uncommon for him to dress like this in the mixed Red Dragon City, except for the new police officers who patrolled by from time to time would give him a few more looks, his dress did not cause much reaction, at most he would be despised by the new upper class who wore a decent tuxedo and sat in a luxurious carriage.

The man walked through the street with his head bowed, and came to a huge building that was not tall, but it covered an extremely large area, and on the top of the gate were written a few large letters:

"Red Dragon Railway Station!"

Deathwing's eyes finally appeared extremely curious when he saw the train station, for the train, which is said to be able to pull thousands of people or dozens of tons of goods without eating, drinking, or resting, it is an extremely attractive thing for a researcher like him, then the researchers of these things are called steam engineers, not some new class of magicians, after all, it is said that none of these steam engineers can do magic.

There are a large number of patrolling policemen standing at the door, these policemen only exist in Red Dragon City at present, and Lelouch does not plan to expand the army for the sake of public security, the police are still very useful, the combat effectiveness of the new police is not weak, they are wearing decent and delicate black uniforms, wearing police hats on their heads, and shrinking batons around their waists, in some more important areas or areas with more serious security problems, the police even have guns, and the police's guns are not like the army's large-caliber muskets, but unified small short-barreled muskets, but even so, as long as the enemy is not attacking in a big way, then these policemen are enough to maintain the law and order of the entire Red Dragon City。

After being fortunate enough to see these policemen kill a minotaur on the spot, Deathwing still decided to face these people, it is better to be careful, especially since the railway station is still located under the castle where the government is located in the center of the city, although the architectural style has changed a lot in recent years, but the practice of building a tall fortress in the center of the city has not changed, and the city administrators can also look at the entire city in these castles in the center of the city, as their own plan to govern the city.

Deathwing cautiously followed the flow of people towards the train station, there was a ticket hall outside the door, and the ticket hall had twenty windows working at the same time, but it still couldn't end up the people who bought tickets at the gate of the train station.

Most of the people who buy tickets here are businessmen, or a small number of upper-class people, and only they have the need and financial resources to travel far by train, after all, there is only one railway at present, even if it runs at full capacity, the traffic flow is limited, especially when he carries almost the circulation of the entire heaven-sent land and the central province, it is even more tense, and the place left for people is almost only a few five or six carriages.

Deathwing looked at the people queuing up to buy train tickets in front of him, and he looked around cautiously, his constant vigilance made him extremely hostile and uneasy to this civilized world, even with a legal pass.

"Hello, where are you here?"

"White City. ”

"It's twenty silver coins in total, please show your ID!"

Dead Wing took out a temporary pass issued to him and handed it over, the staff looked at it, it was actually a high-level pass, this kind of pass is generally issued by the government for special personnel, and it doesn't cost money to take the train, the staff looked at Dead Wing a few more times curiously, just these few glances, so that Dead Wing's nervous heart almost jumped out, but fortunately, the staff didn't ask too much, but was very skilled in issuing train tickets for him.

"Please go to the platform and board the train. ”

Dead Wing walked into the train station according to the above standard Middle-earth language, there are large seats in the train station, which can be used by people to sit and board the train, Dead Wing casually found a place to sit down, looked at the sky, it seemed that he would have to wait for a while before it was his turn to get on the train, just at such a while, Dead Wing took out a piece of optimization in his package very solemnly, this oil painting is not very big, just enough for him to take it directly to see, the oil painting is painted with a magnificent building, especially behind this piece of building, the eight magnificent spires, the tallest tower in the middle, and also exude an extremely bright light。

Along with the oil painting, there is also a letter, the content of which is very simple, sent to him by a friend of his, and there is only one sentence in it:

"My friend, won't you come with me to pursue the mystery of magic in the open?"

4998, pay back a thousand first, and pay another thousand tomorrow.

If you have a vote, you still vote for the 'Church', Xiaofan really rarely asks for votes, and now there are 800,000 words, which is a bit meaty, if you think it's not bad, please leave a ticket for the Church, at least let our barely orthodox fantasy text be seen by more people, and let more people know that the fantasy text is not going cold, please everyone!

Xiao Fan here, I beg the tens of thousands of brothers and sisters who are distributed in: Creation, Starting Point, and Book City, so that Xiao Fan can see a little bit of everyone's strength, okay? Please!
