Chapter 1072: Mechanical... Cult of God?
"They've been down for half an hour, how's it going?" The swordsman Wang Yue and his fierce orc warriors rampaged through Silvermoon City, searching for the traces of the book horses and cranes, and plundering everything that seemed valuable.
"The situation is very bad, it is full of highly toxic gases, and the whole construction site has become a danger zone." The warrior monk frowned and looked at the pit in the distance: "We evacuated five hundred meters back, and now no one knows the situation below. ”
"The head has proven many times that he is invincible, and we have to believe him." The swordsman Wang Yue looked very open: "After all, the problem he can't solve, we also send food when we go, if there is really a problem below, listen to me, hurry up." ”
"How's the situation in Silvermoon City?" The warrior monk touched his bald head, unsure if he could be so free.
"It's a mess, those elves outside the city can't think of what the elves in the city have done." The swordsman Wang Yue commanded the strong orc warriors to drive out a few elves who were hiding in the building and shooting cold arrows, tied them with ropes and threw them on the side of the road: "Most of the elves are still in chaos, and a few sober ones have to act like beasts for self-protection." ”
"Think about Anthony Harbor, they have all been polluted by Chaos, and if Silvermoon City hadn't been bombed into the sky this time, they would have to be quarantined for a long time to determine if they had gotten rid of the effects of Chaos." The swordsman Wang Yue complained: "After all, they are elves, they can live for hundreds of years, and maybe the observation time can be as long as decades." ”
"Is there any news of the book horse crane? Anyway, we have to complete the task we have set out for the first time, and our people must first enter the heart of the Well of Eternity project with the elves. The warrior monk glanced at the poisonous area in the distance, and began to have a headache about how to send the book horse crane in alive when the time came.
When the poisonous fog spread before, even the warrior monk himself was reminded that he had passed a round of judgment and almost died there without knowing it.
The elves and the Marines who were close to him didn't even have a chance to struggle, so they buried there, and they couldn't even pull the body to safety.
"There was a little clue, there was an elf who said that he had seen a human with a group of elves going south, and we were taking him to look for the traces of the book horse crane." The swordsman Wang Yue finally reported a good news: "If there is news, I will notify you immediately." ”
In Antoine Port, Antoine's castle, Yang Yuefan is examining the metal prosthetic leg on his hand.
"This is a magical version of a mechanical prosthetic?" Yang Yuefan put this silver-white prosthetic limb with the style of the Terminator on the table, and it looked like a one-to-one imitation of a human skeleton.
"That's right, it's the finished product after we've stripped away all the frills and features, and only the basic arm function has been retained." Apprentice mage Luo Yan attached an illustrative chart: "The biggest effect of this magic prosthetic is that there is no rejection reaction, although it is impossible to understand how to do it for the time being, but we can already mass-produce similar parts." ”
"How's the cost?" Yang Yuefan looked at the prosthetic leg on the table, and felt that Anthony Dagang's painting style would not come back in the future, so he could only go more and more strange.
"Aside from the fact that we need a few conductors made of Mithril, which only consume ordinary metal, it costs us almost nothing to have Storm's End." Carpenter introduced very seriously: "The main cost is energy consumption, users need to use magic crystals to recharge frequently, after all, this thing was designed by mages, and they didn't think about civilian use at the beginning, they can use their magic to drive prosthetics, ordinary people can't do this." ”
"Fortunately, its energy consumption is completely acceptable, and the output power of the magic prosthetic is much more powerful than the physical abilities of mortals." Apprentice Mage Luo Yan added, "For example, this metal arm in front of you can provide a hundred kilograms of grip strength, which is almost equivalent to a low-level transcendent warrior. ”
"You can actually install some extensions on top of the basic version." Carpenter picked up the prosthetic leg and pulled open its thumb like a lighter, revealing the slotted screwdriver inside, and the whole finger began to rotate clockwise at a constant speed: "For example, if it's a maintenance person, you can use the tool more flexibly to improve efficiency." ”
"How many people do you think in Anthony Grand Port City know how to tighten screws?" Yang Yuefan sighed: "Do you still plan to open a technical school here?" ”
"That's right!" Carpenter nodded: "This is the next plan we have discussed, to train the survivors of Antony Port into technicians, the Far South will soon usher in the attention of all countries in the world, it is not as expensive to ship anything here from other continents as local production, the survivors of Antonia Port are forbidden to leave the city limits, they are the best production line workers." ”
"And do you think ordinary hard labor, miscellaneous labor, can afford the cost of magic prosthetics?" Apprentice Mage Luo Yan stood behind Carpenter and said, "In the past, they were only paid for a full day's work, but now they have to bear the consumption of magic crystals. ”
"The center of technology and production in the Far South?" Yang Yuefan thought back on the current living situation of the survivors in the city, and felt that it was indeed a way out.
The survivors of Antony Harbour currently have all their food sources supplied by the Retribution Warband, and the natives want to see if this 'excisional therapy' has a practical effect on Chaos Pollution, but due to limited logistics, most of them are only starving to death.
They were forbidden to leave the city walls, and some of the severely mutated survivors were even forbidden to leave their neighborhoods, their own rooms, and could only be delivered daily by Marx.
In fact, if Marx had not maintained order in the city, there would have been a wave of mass suicide among these survivors who had recovered their human minds.
Now, with the advent of magical prosthetics, most of the survivors can be put back into the workforce, and if they are willing to learn, they may be able to live better than before.
Yang Yuefan believed in Marx's propaganda work, and the survivors now made labor their creed, and they spontaneously organized themselves to clean up the burned streets and turn them into ruined residential areas.
When you see a group of blind and deaf people who are missing arms and legs and gather together to work hard, the scene is simply inspiring.
Yang Yuefan felt that magic prosthetics and skill training could indeed bring new life to the city, and those mutants could even use hooded cloaks to hide their strange appearance, and become one of the builders of the new order in the Far South in the future.
