"The Qualish device is indeed very valuable in naval warfare, but this thing has two shortcomings, one is the same as scrap metal after going ashore, and the other is a single function, especially the lack of long-range attack means, in order to solve the above shortcomings, our Coast Guard subordinate mechanical armor research institute has developed a new generation of amphibious mechanical armor on the basis of the Qualixu device, the combat effectiveness and mobility have been greatly improved, and the function is more complete, and the new model is named after our family name. A small number of prototypes have been built and are being tested in actual combat, and I myself have participated in the testing of the new model. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Victoria revealed, smugly.

"And a new model?" Roland immediately became interested, "Can you take us to have a look?" ”

"Of course, let's go to the institute." With a heroic wave of her hand, the battleship immediately turned around and sailed back.

After disembarking, everyone left the port in a carriage and came to the "Mecha Research Institute" located near the barracks.

The director and chief engineer of the institute is named Morozov, a middle-aged man with unkempt glasses like the bottom of a bottle.

When Roland and Morozov shook hands, they opened the "Pupil of Destiny" to observe each other, and couldn't help but secretly disrespect: it turned out that this unattractive man was actually a warlock, no wonder he could develop a new generation of mecha that was more advanced than the "Qualich Device".

The so-called "mechanism warlocks" refer to those scholars who are good at studying and applying "mechanism techniques".

Traps are neither arcane nor mystical, but are another form of magic that is not targeted at creatures, but is primarily used to enhance items or constructs.

The energy used by the trap is also derived from the magic net, so the rules it follows are similar to other types of spells, which can be disarmed, can be resisted by spell resistance, and cannot be effective in the anti-magic field.

According to Roland's understanding, the professional characteristics of the mechanism warlock are very similar to those of mechanics and engineers on Earth, most of them are not interested in religious beliefs, nor are they focused on improving their own strength like mages, they are interested in making and enhancing mechanical devices and magical tools, and generally have a strong desire to invent and create.

There is a well-established saying circulating in the world of Vares, "Mages discover the truth, and sorcerers promote it". It is true that most mages are keen on knowledge and focus on discovering the universal laws of things, but they do not care whether their knowledge is of practical value and what convenience it can bring to the lives of ordinary people. On the other hand, trap warlocks are not as knowledgeable and thoughtful as mages, but their work is closer to the clothing, food, shelter and transportation of ordinary people, from steam engines, spinning machines, lighters to an inconspicuous piece of cutlery on the table, countless new inventions that changed people's lifestyles were originally made by trap warlocks.

The inheritance of the profession of the Trap Warlock is relatively concentrated: where the social life is stable and affluent, the academic atmosphere is strong, the business is developed, and the financing is convenient, the more attractive the Trap Warlock, and the easier it is to produce results in such an environment.

The affluent and open port of Baiou provided a stage for the warlock to show their talents, and there was also a special technical academy that hired the warlock to train young students, and Molotzov himself was a professor at the Baiou Port Mechanical Engineering Institute, and in addition to his research work, he also went to the school twice a week to teach, and was admired by the students for his rich knowledge.

When Roland and his party arrived at the institute, Morozov and his assistants were selecting pilots for testing the new mech. Due to the fact that the selected candidates can receive a generous allowance, the young men of the "Armored Knights" are very active in signing up for the election, but unfortunately the physical test will eliminate the vast majority of applicants and leave the institute in frustration.

"Mr. Morozov, I found that among the eliminated applicants there are many strong young men, most of whom are from the Armored Knights, and have a lot of experience in piloting the Qualich device, so it stands to reason that they are all very suitable to be pilots to test new models, why were they eliminated?" Roland asked, puzzled.

"This is because the design of the new model is not perfect enough, and the physical fitness requirements of the driver are very high, and those who can skillfully operate the Qua Li Xu device may not be able to adapt to the new model." Morozov lifted his glasses, opened the desk drawer, took out a table full of statistics and handed it to Roland, "According to my calculations, the armored knights of the new model, that is, the Yanbo mecha, must all pass the forty-two tests listed on this table, if the first level of physical examination is brushed off, it can only mean that their bodies are not as healthy as they seem, and it is likely that they have some hidden disease that they don't even know about, and these small problems will not have a negative impact on other positions, However, in the high-intensity pilot test, it can turn into a big problem, which may lead to injury or even death of the pilot. ”

Bloom leaned over curiously, glanced at the health indicators on the form, and couldn't help frowning: "You can't have more than two inches of scars on your body?" That's too harsh, isn't it? How can a soldier not have a scar on his body! ”

Morozov spread his hands and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Dwarf, this is not my intention to make things difficult, in fact, an important indicator of a sailor is the maximum diving depth, you must know that the deeper the water level, the greater the pressure, the scars on people's bodies will not be hindered under normal pressure, but in the seabed environment, especially in the case of imbalance between the internal and external pressure of the body during the diving from the deep water level, the scar is difficult to guarantee that it will not break and bleed, it is very dangerous." ”

"Hey...... That's ......," the dwarf smirked back.

Roland took a quick look at the test items, and with the help of the system, he made a simple calculation, in order to fully meet the conditions listed by Morozov, the tester must be absolutely healthy, and the three attributes of strength, physique and agility must also reach a minimum of 14, as for intelligence and perception, although there are no quantitative indicators, at least they must be at the level of one out of ten, and the charm attribute is not required, after all, you can't see your appearance when sitting in a mecha.

If the attributes are not up to the requirements, then unfortunately, it is almost impossible to control the new mechanical armor calmly - the strength is too low to even move the lever, and the constitution is too low to withstand the concussions caused by the mechanical armor's actions in harsh environments.

If strength and constitution determine the lower limit of the Armored Knight, then the upper limit of the Mechanical Armor is determined by agility, and the driver with too poor agility will not be able to keep the mechanical armor balanced in high-speed motion - more importantly, all weapons of the mechanical armor need to be corrected by the agility attribute.

The arms of the new mechanical armor have been changed from the claws of the "Kualish device" to a simulated palm, which is closer to the limbs of a human being, and can directly clench a fist to hit the enemy, or pull out a large bayonet to kill the opponent, but no matter what melee method is used, the decisive attribute is not your strength, but your agility.
