CHAPTER XXVIII

"Almost all races use the power of ** and magic to adapt or modify nature, but the forging Mo has taken a different path, and they have created a new system beyond our knowledge. As we can see, they have created their own way of life out of metal. ”

Ezenta led me to a lookout with an open view of all the details of Chuander-Zell's exterior.

"What's that?"

I asked Ezenta, pointing to a robot placed on a platform. The robot is made of brass-colored metal parts, holds a sharp blade and a crossbow in both hands, and has a spherical base that can be flexibly rolled. I've seen this robot once follow Mednage through a dwarven tunnel to escape from prison, and when sensing an outsider approaching, a metal ball will fall off the wall and transform into a mechanical warrior from within the orb.

"That's the Forge Robot Warrior, I'm sure you're curious as to why the seemingly unstable spherical base keeps it perfectly balanced," Ezenta then handed me a spherical device beside him, "it's this thing." Feel it, and you'll see how amazing this thing is! ”

Well, isn't it just a gyroscope? This technology is not new to me from another world, what really surprised me is that the inhabitants of this world can actually develop a gyroscope, although it is easy to find from the spinning top played by children that the spinning top can be upright and perpendicular to the ground, but if you want to extract and summarize the principle and implement and apply it, this is obviously too over-the-top.

"This ingenious device...... Is it really created by the research of the Mo clan? ”

"Of course. The Forging Mo clan is very good at this kind of work. According to some documents, there was once a forging Mo who was able to create a standard puppet at the age of eight. ”

Uh, eight years old...... Well, if you compare it with the new news of a fourteen-year-old boy making a fusion reactor in another world, the Forging Mo clan is simply weak.

"As the name suggests, the Forge Robot Ball Warrior is primarily used to destroy malicious invaders, and there is also a non-combat machine, which we call the Forge Spider Worker based on its appearance," Ezenta continued to introduce me, "just like the Forge Robot Ball Warrior. The Spider Forge Worker also uses Soul Stones as a source of energy. In terms of specific structure. In order to adapt to a variety of working environments, the forging was fitted with a number of limbs, which according to the excavated samples, generally consisted of six lower limbs for movement and support, and two upper limbs for working and part-time combat. ”

Mechanical Ball Warrior as a bodyguard. Spider workers as servants. Plus there is also a "centurion" as a weapon of war. These machines have covered every aspect of the life of the Forging Mo people.

It's just that...... Although these machines are ingenious enough, they are still far from producing artificial intelligence, and the fields involved are very limited. If you rely entirely on their services, coupled with living underground, the quality of life of the people of Forging Mo is probably not much higher.

"There are many more artifacts on display in my uncle's research room and museum, but I can't take you there, because these artifacts are too precious to withstand any accidents, so please forgive me."

"It's okay," I waved my hand to show that I didn't care, and I understood the other party's reason, "since I can't enter your uncle's private domain, can I go and walk around the excavation site?" ”

"This ...... I'm afraid not. ”

Ezenta rejected me after a brief embarrassment, but judging by his expression, his reasons were completely different from what they had just been.

"Why?"

"It's dangerous inside the excavation site."

Ezenta led me to a platform with a "Danger" plaque, motioned for me to keep enough distance, and pressed a button to activate the device. The gears rumbled, and then a shaft rotated ninety degrees from the depths of the center of the device, and the two blades rotated ninety degrees from the state of clinging to the shaft, looking like the rotors of a helicopter.

Naturally, the rotor began to spin at high speed, but its purpose was certainly not to take the device off, but to grind the life standing on it into a meat sauce.

"Forging Mo's mechanism?"

"Yes," Ezenta nodded, "if an untrained person accidentally triggers this mechanism inside, he won't have any chance of survival." ”

"Does the Detect Trap spell work for this type of trap?"

"Yes, yes, but ...... The ruins of the forge are filled with steam-spewing pipes, spinning gears and turbines, and moving pistons, and the caster will be greatly disturbed. ”

Next, Ezanta took me on a tour of a series of forging mechanisms: what kind of high-temperature steam jets, what kind of turbocharged harpoons...... I was horrified by all sorts of mechanisms that were tossing and turning and killing me, and my curiosity was completely dispelled.

"In addition, there are some other terrible things down there, and every time we do excavation, we gather a large team to prevent the unexpected."

Well, I don't think I'm going to go in and die, I don't want to be killed by these cruel organs. And in addition to these passively triggered traps, there are other more terrifying things down there, and if a few Forge Robot Ball Warriors suddenly fall from a wall somewhere, it will be enough to kill me in a foreign land.

……

I patted Ezenta on the shoulder and admonished him, "Do well with your uncle, although it may be dangerous to eat and sleep in the open and sleep in the cause of forging Mo archaeology, but the future must be bright." ”

"Thank you......"

Ezenta was a little laughing and crying when she heard my "earnest teachings", but she still expressed her gratitude for my words.

Before parting, I gave Ezenta the address of the house where he was currently living, and told him to contact me at this address when everything was ready. I don't know what kind of surprise Kasemer will give me in a few days.

In short, from what I saw and heard at the excavation site, I was convinced that with the help of the Forging War Machine, the hapless dragon was dead, and the only thing that remained unrevealed was how it died: braised and steamed, or chopped into minced meat dumplings......

Now that the preparation of the equipment is on the right track, the next step should be ...... Oh, by the way, I still have to go through the formalities of the transfer of power from Invana the Hymn. But compared to what I learned in the excavation field, those manpower were irrelevant.
