231 Puppet Technology
The next morning, Chris was ready to accompany Archmage Ronsadley on a tour of the strategic weapons launch base in Alan Hill. The parade was postponed to the third day because preparations were too hasty, and Lonsadle and his party seemed to be more interested in nuclear weapons.
"Last night, we killed a total of 32 mutinous magicians. There were 17 of our intelligence officers and 9 real traitors who escaped from the capital of Veronza. Luther reported on the results of the operation during the night: "Among these intelligence officers who went to the puppet empire, three of them carried portable telegraphs, and seven of them mastered the production of telegraphs...... Whenever they have the chance, they will send back all the useful information. ”
Chris nodded and commanded, "Did those magicians from the Royal Research Institute last night have any results?" ”
"The production of magic puppets is not as difficult as imagined, in fact, low-level puppets are not controlled by people." Luther handed the report to Chris, and replied, "The Magic Empire extracted a part of the memories, similar to the principle of the Knowledge Orb, and then gave these instinctive memories to the puppet through the magic array. ”
As he explained, he retreated to his position: "So, these puppets can fight, they can work, they can walk, they can dodge obstacles, but they have no joy, no sorrow, no fear. ”
"So, how do the magicians of the puppet empire control these magic puppets?" Chris asked casually as he looked at the report in his hand.
"When making a puppet, join a kind of contract circle......" Luther replied.
When Chris looked at the report in his hand, the conversation between the two men paused.
It turned out that the puppet magic back then was done by the elven dwarves and humans, so the puppet technology was actually a mixture of the magic of the three races. Elven contract magic on plants has been improved to control golems, dwarven trap technology has been used to create golems, and human knowledge orb technology has been enhanced to give golems abilities.
Originally, this technology was developed to create more soldiers for the allied forces. And these soldiers who are not afraid of death have indeed suppressed the numerical advantage of some demons, and also allowed all races to easily gain the advantage of fighting against the Magic Eye.
However, this kind of puppet based on the origin of magic is often inexplicably chaotic and unrestrained. This situation has led to a split in the attitudes of several races towards the puppet: most people agree that the puppet technology is flawed and that it is best not to continue to use it on a large scale until it has been perfected.
A few people believe that only the large-scale use of puppets, the creation of puppets, and the study of puppets can improve this flaw - these people broke away from Grecken and established a puppet empire.
And among these magicians who broke away from Griken, there was one person who was the grandmother of the Archmage of Lonsadlai, the Archmage Vianna. The old lady who single-handedly created the puppet empire left her notes to her grandson, Lonsadlai, who was just learning magic at the time.
And the puppet technology that was born from the magic cooperation of the three clans has finally become a lonely toy for extreme humans.
The primitive puppet technology is, in Chris's opinion, almost a robot in a simple programming state. It's just that this kind of simple programming takes the form of a kind of magic cheating.
It is the ability to stoke some of the brains of people and give them the ability to function - though they have no logic and are naturally less reliable than modern robots in many cases.
Of course, the benefits are not without - many problems such as "perceptrons" and "feedback speed" that cannot be solved by industrial technology or are difficult to solve are initially solved by magic in puppet technology.
If the research and development continues, crossing the technical threshold, and really developing advanced robot technology, it seems that it is not a problem.
As for the other extreme, the god puppets that the puppet empire has improved over the years are actually completely different from ordinary puppets. Golems are a shell, a body that holds part of the spiritual power of a magician, and they can be said to be a clone of a high-level mage, a powerful clone that can show part of the mage's own power.
Although the god puppet is very powerful and easy to use, and it does not require a magician to be on the battlefield in person, it can perform the task more safely, but once the god puppet is destroyed, then this part of the spiritual power is equivalent to being destroyed.
Therefore, the god puppet should be used with extra care, after being destroyed, the magician has to rest for a long time and cultivate his mental power before he can use the god puppet again.
Here's why. After the god puppet is destroyed, the puppet empire will not send the god puppet to fight for a long time: after all, the use of magic to extract spiritual power, and the pain of the loss of spiritual power after the destruction of the god puppet, not everyone is willing to try many times.
Chris closed the document in his hand, handed it back to Luther, and commanded, "A little bit!" When the computer technology matures, the puppet technology here can be taken out. ”
The two men walked through the hall one after the other, and then saw Ronsadley and Vivien standing at the top of the stairs waiting for him.
"Your Majesty the Great Emperor!" The old man seemed to have rested well yesterday, but there was no unbearable expression on his face from the magic aura disorder of the Forbidden Demon Realm: "Didn't you read that notebook all night?" ”
"Not really." Chris slept reasonably well yesterday, sleeping a little more than many times. After all, he is now the emperor of an empire, and there really isn't much time left for seven hours of restful sleep.
"Actually, I'm providing you with this notebook more in the hope that you can get to know your opponent." Ronsadley made a gesture of please, and then walked downstairs side by side with Chris. He said to Chris as he walked with his magic wand in his hand.
"As for making magic golems...... I advise you to be cautious. As he walked, he spoke: "On the one hand, it is because in the forbidden demon realm, it is impossible to complete the injection of magical energy inside the puppet. On the other hand, it's because of the results of my research over the years. ”
He said solemnly to Chris, "I always suspect that the chaotic and unrestrained phenomenon of the puppet is due to the imbuing of magic!" In fact, I suspect that the Magic Eye itself is the source of chaos for those puppets! ”
"You mean...... Because golems themselves are non-conscious magical creations, they can be easily controlled by the magic itself? Chris was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ronsadley with a smile: "You are telling me that magic is alive." ”
"What if there really is!" Ronsadelai didn't look like he was joking at all, but immediately asked rhetorically.
Chris stopped and frowned: "You mean, magic has wisdom, and those demons that destroy everything are all made by this intelligent energy itself?" ”
"Magic can bewitch people...... Your Majesty! There are humans who have fallen into magical slaves in every era, why do you think those powerful magicians of the puppet empire risk being destroyed and go to war with your empire? "Ronzadelai is right.
"That makes sense...... Those demons are magical creatures themselves, so they are very similar to the golems themselves! Chris touched his chin as if he had figured out a lot of things: "That is...... Purely magical creations are actually not safe! ”
In fact, hearing this, Chris probably understood why many magicians, even the very steadfast Frenzberg who had been loyal to him, ended up becoming traitors.
For the part of the magicians who were not firmly loyal to the Irlanhill Empire in the first place, but were committed to Irlanhill in pursuit of greater magical power, the bewitchment of magical power was indeed very easy to succeed.
It's a pity that from the beginning to the end, Grand Magician Frenzberg was such a person who did not hesitate to defect to the Holy Demon Empire in pursuit of magical power, and it is not surprising that he now defected to the puppet empire to betray Iran Hill in order to obtain more magical power.
"That's right! My research supports this theory. Ronsadley nodded: "However, maybe your industrial technology can give these golems something different, so that you can counteract the interference of the Magic Eye......"
"It's too far to think about that." A smile suddenly appeared on Chris's face, "I have a more interesting option now, do you want to try it?" ”
"Seeing the look on your face, I knew what you were thinking was dangerous." Longsadley hesitated for a moment, and then smiled: "Let's hear it, I really want to know how feasible your bad idea is." ”
Chris shrugged his shoulders and said to Ronsadle, "Didn't you say that there could be a living 'magic' underneath the Magic Eye?" ”
"yes, I'm not sure, but that's what I'm speculating." Ronsadley nodded.
"That'...... Throw a super-nuke at it...... Can you blow it up? Chris asked with a smile as he clenched his fists and cracked the corners of his mouth, revealing one of his teeth.
"I don't know...... Are you going to drop a super-nuke? How powerful is it? Ronsadley was intrigued by this way of ending the war, and asked.
"Probably...... Power...... 300 times larger than the nuclear bomb dropped on Bellivi! Chris replied briskly.
"......" Ronsadley suddenly didn't want to speak, he felt like he had been hurt by a critical hit.
Chris saw that Ronsadley was silent, thinking that the other party was calculating whether the attack would work. So he hurriedly spoke and comforted him: "It's okay...... If that's not enough, I'll launch three of these nukes at the Eye of Magic at the same time when I'm ready! ”
"......" Crit Damage x3 against Archmage of Longsardle......
