Chapter 388: Combat Test
Lott and the others, who were in charge of collecting materials, acted quite smoothly, not only did they not alarm any of the enemies, but also overfulfilled the task, which made the faces of the technicians who were responsible for repairing weapons and armor look a lot better.

In contrast, the side where Akatsuki and the others were located only had a relatively smooth first half of the time.
With Eve able to navigate the shadows, all the mechanical scouts who might find the transporter were eliminated by her.
This also caused Waldman and Bird, who were originally quite high-spirited, to start to feel that this mission was a little boring.
"It's boring...... Is there no enemy who will let me try the power of this new axe? ”
Waldman was a little bored and kept wiping the long-handled tomahawk in his hand, and wiped the black axe surface to the surface.
After listening to Waldman's words, Bird couldn't help but roll his eyes, and then glanced at the new axe in Waldman's arms with some envy.
Although he didn't think that his greatsword would be worse than this so-called "high-tech weapon", as a fierce rival, Waldman had already changed into new equipment, but he himself was still the same old-fashioned, more or less a little compared to others.
Waldeman's long-handled battle axe was chased by a technician in a small cart when they had just left the base, and personally handed over the newly crafted weapon to Waldeman.
The reason why Waldman's weapons were able to be made one step ahead of the others was that there was already a batch of small axes in the base's warehouse for a recon mechanical warlord who was adept at throwing weapons.
These axes were a little small to the hapless warrior who died before he could use his new weapon, and after the death of the little warrior, the other warriors who were good at throwing weapons found them too uncomfortable to use, so they kept in the warehouse to eat dust.
After receiving the order from Wadman and others, the technician in charge of building the tomahawk for Wadman remembered the existence of these flying axes, and after taking them out and modifying them slightly, the newly modified tomahawk was sent to Wadman's hands.
Of course, such a somewhat shoddy weapon did not please Waldman, but according to the technician, the tomahawk was nothing more than an experimental weapon.
After enough combat testing, the weapons experts in the base will use the data obtained from this weapon to create a new tomahawk for Waldman that perfectly matches his requirements in terms of weight, length, style, and power!
Knowing this, Waldman happily accepted the tomahawk.
In fact, since Waldman and the others were not able to directly supply energy to weapons like Akatsuki, they would have to be equipped with some additional energy sources in order to use the full power of these weapons.
For this reason, the weapons experts in the base were directly divided into two factions, fighting over whether it was better to use a "built-in charged energy source" or an "external replaceable energy source".
There are many, many similar problems, and as a result, the weapons experts have made a bit of a mess in the entire logistics department of the base.
Skipping the tearing process of the weapons experts, after the big fight, the experts quickly reached a consensus: which way will be better, let's speak with facts!
Thus, Waldman became the lucky guinea pig.
Since it was an experimental weapon, Waldman's new tomahawk was loaded with many, many features. It's uncertain whether these features are good or not, but some of the light and shadow effects that come with using those features make this tomahawk look quite powerful when wielded!
Wadman, who noticed this, would "test" his new weapon in front of Bird from time to time along the way, which made Bird's eyes red.
Isn't it just a new weapon? Do you need to be so sassy!
After all, Bird actually has a little envy of Waldman: holding a gorgeous superweapon in one hand and a bubbling dream goddess in the other, which is a dream that almost every male compatriot has ever had.
Now, it's hard to say whether the new weapon in Wadman's hand is easy to use or not, but the special effects attached to it are so gorgeous that other fighters will be envious.
"Tsk!"
Forcibly turning his gaze to the side, Bird pretended to be calm and said, "A weapon is a weapon!" If it just looks gorgeous, it's a good egg! Let me say that our new weapon should be as strong and durable as this greatsword of mine! That's the best weapon! ”
What gorgeous! What special effects! It's all crooked!
"Hehe......"
Waldman raised an eyebrow at Bird, then smiled and said, "You don't understand this, do you?" The weapons experts in the base have long thought about this! ”
"What?"
Bird looked at Wadman in disbelief, and Bird listened to the technician as he explained the various functions of the tomahawk, but he didn't hear any of them.
"I also gradually realized it after using it for most of the day."
Wadman smiled and pointed to the battle axe in his arms and said, "In fact, when you are not using the various functions on this long-handled battle axe, this long-handled battle axe can also be directly used as the most common battle axe. But! Maybe it's because of the material, or maybe it's because of the difference in the forging process, but even when the additional functions are not enabled, this tomahawk is far stronger than my original tomahawk! ”
"How is this possible!"
Bird subconsciously opened his mouth wide, and his eyes stared at the battle axe in Waldman's arms: "I've seen you turn it into a weapon in other forms......
It was because Bird saw Wadman turn the tomahawk into a greatsword while he was testing the new weapon that Bird felt that the new weapon would not be strong enough.
After all, judging by Bird's experience, objects that can be deformed must have such a problem as fragile structure.
Of course, this problem may not be a big problem for other professions, but for the professions of the Warrior series, the problem is serious.
For warriors at the peak of the Ninth Order and even those who have entered the Legendary Realm, the most important attribute of a weapon is actually its sturdiness. Because only weapons that are strong enough can withstand their infusion of vindictive energy. If the weapons in their hands can't even hold their fighting energy, then these warriors might as well fight with their bare hands.
At least their fists are hard enough.
But at this moment, Waldman's words directly destroyed Bird's common sense and ruined his three views.
How is it possible that a weapon that can be transformed can be stronger than a weapon forged from a single piece! Is there such a big gap between the forging process between the main plane and the machine world?
However, Bird also knew that Waldman was not the kind of person who could talk big, so his mind was suddenly a little confused.
At this moment, Akatsuki, who had been silent, spoke calmly: "This is actually not strange. ”
Seeing that Bird, whose eyes were a little dull, turned his head to look at her, Akatsuki continued: "Among the worlds, our machine realm is originally the most technologically advanced world, so it is actually a normal thing that it is much stronger than your main plane in terms of forging technology. ”
"But, I've fought with the machines in the machine world before, and I didn't think they were so durable at the time......
Bird said with some confusion.
If the forging process of the machine realm was really much higher than that of the main plane, then the more armored mechs would be very durable, but Bird didn't feel that way.
“…… Here's the secret. ”
Akatsuki was silent for a moment before reaching out and pointing at Bird's greatsword. To be precise, Akatsuki was actually pointing at the patterns on the giant sword.
"What's wrong with my sword......
Looking at his love sword, Bird said with a somewhat confused expression.
Waldman shook his head helplessly, and was about to uncover the mystery when Bird suddenly shouted, "Wait! ”
Bird, whose eyes were staring at those patterns, had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and suddenly understood: "This is it! I understand! It's enchanted! It's because of the enchantment process! ”
"Exactly."
Akatsuki sighed and explained helplessly: "Because of the enchantment, even those weapons that seem to us to be quite rudimentary can exert quite strong power in your hands, so you don't realize that the armor of those mechanical spiders is much harder than the armor of your main plane. ”
To put it simply, the weapons and equipment produced by the machine world are indeed stronger than those in the main plane. However, because the people of the machine world take the technological route, how strong their weapons and equipment are when they are made, without considering wear and tear and the like, they have always been this strength after that.
In contrast, the quality of weapons and equipment produced by the main plane is indeed not as good as that of the machine world, but people can use enchantments to enhance these weapons and equipment. Even a handful of broken copper and iron can still have the power equivalent to that of a divine weapon after being strengthened by heavy enchantments.
Of course, if you're willing to throw that much gold into this broken piece of metal.
At the same time, because of the popularity of the enchantment process, the vast majority of professionals have enchanted their equipment, at least to attach a "sharp" to their weapons, and a "hard" to their armor.
In this case, the difference in strength between the armor of a normal mechanical spider and the normal armor of the main plane is actually not large. After all, those mechanical spiders are just mass-produced cannon fodder, and of course they don't use any good materials when making them, and most of them are just reused from recycled waste products, just like the tasks of Lott and others.
In addition, the mechanical spider is very different from the various magical beasts that Bird often bullies, and the slight difference he feels when cutting them down will naturally be ignored by Bird with the idea that "mechanical spiders are made of metal after all".
That's why Bird never realized that the forging process of the machine realm was far stronger than that of the main plane.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Bird yelled again, and then he said to Waldman and Akatsuki with an excited face, "If! I mean if! What if we enchanted weapons and equipment from the Machine? ”
"Not good!"
Waldman rolled his eyes directly: "This kind of thing has been done by someone a long time ago, but it won't work!" ”
"Huh?"
Bird asked a little confused, "Why is that?" ”
"First of all, the reason why the weapons of the machine realm are stronger than the weapons of the main plane is because the forging process of the machine realm is higher than that of the main plane. However, all the weapons produced by the machine world are for use by mechanical bodies, and if ordinary people want to use them, they have to be modified or simply reforged. ”
Akatsuki explained, "If you reforge, it doesn't make sense, because the iron of the machine realm is actually the same as the iron of the main plane. And if you want to modify the weapons of the machine world, it is a very time-consuming and laborious thing. ”
"In addition, it's just that this kind of cold weapon in Wadman's hand is okay, a more advanced weapon, such as an energy weapon or something, is very likely to be activated due to the violent fluctuations of the elements when enchanted, which will cause an explosion."
"Even if it's a temporary removal of the power source, the enchantment is successfully completed. When using this weapon, there is also a high possibility that the energy of the enchantment and the energy of the weapon itself will constantly conflict, and the weapon will be damaged at a very fast speed. ”
"There are many more reasons for this, so I won't say more."
Akatsuki said very calmly: "If you want to obtain the kind of top-level equipment you imagine, you can only let the people of the machine world create weapons and equipment suitable for your use, and then you can find an enchanter to enchant those weapons and equipment yourself." ”
"But I want to remind you that the Mantes Empire came into contact with the machine world before us, but even with the support of the fanatics, they have only made some flashy mechanical beasts so far."
The reason is very simple, why do the people in the machine world help in vain?
In fact, the current army of mechanical beasts in the Mantes Empire is not weak, but it lacks the support of some high-end forces. But even with the strength of the whole country to conduct research, the Mantes Empire has not been able to research the legendary mechanical beast until now, and it is obvious that the people of the mad faction still have several hands against them.
"It is precisely with reference to the results of the Mantes Empire's research on the machine world that Miss Karen-chan and her sisters have made such a decision."
Pointing to the long-handled battle axe in his arms, Waldman said to Bird, who had calmed down a lot, "Just like now, we can get a complete set of equipment from that base from that base with the help of Akatsuki's face. Then, after returning to the main plane, we will also be able to enchant these equipment to obtain a set of equipment that is top-tier in the entire main plane, and that is enough. ”
"Well, that's what you're talking about."
Bird sighed, still with a hint of regret in his eyes.
"So right now, the best thing we should do is ......"
Looking at the energy refinery that had already appeared in front of him, Waldman, who jumped out of the transport cart, laughed and said, "Help me put the various functions of this long-handled battle axe to the actual combat test!" ”
Actually, you just want to fight.
After Bird and Akatsuki glanced at each other, they both jumped out of the transport cart with helpless expressions and rushed to the energy refinery with Waldman.
