The Rat King lived for a long time.

In the absence of factors such as hunger, the average lifespan of a nezumi is only 30 years.

However, the rat king, which was born more than 14,000 years ago, has gained an extremely long lifespan due to genetic mutation. Until now, there seems to be no signs of aging.

The Rat King has been on the throne for more than 140 centuries.

The reason why its position is so stable, although there are also factors such as its love for the people and its heroic performance against monsters, Luo Zixuan believes that the fundamental reason is its special appearance.

Otherwise, the rats would not have revered him as a king without doubt.

In Luo Zixuan's view, an individual like the Rat King will do more harm than good to the development of his race.

Individual prowess, especially extremely limited prowess, is meaningless.

What is really useful is the civilization evolution of the entire race.

Although the Throne of the Mechanical God did not collect relevant information, Luo Zixuan concluded after evaluating the existing information that the two artificial mechanical balls just now were actually "ancient weapons".

It was developed before the rat king ascended to the throne.

Since then, while new mechanical orbs may have been made to replace the old ones, no other large war machines have been developed.

Because since the Rat King, who is superior in force, they no longer need to use this kind of thing to get rid of those difficult monsters in the tunnel.

The key clue for Luo Zixuan to make such a judgment is that in the oldest mines in the field, all the main tunnels are more than 15 meters wide.

The diameter of the mechanical ball is about 12 meters.

In the newly opened mines, the main tunnels are not so wide at all.

Therefore, it can be concluded that the structure of the ancient mine was designed to allow mechanical balls to pass through it and crush hordes of monsters.

Moreover, many of these passages are steep slopes. In this area, even if the nezumi does not step on the internal mechanism, the mechanical ball can roll directly downwards to easily destroy enemies. At the beginning of its invention, it was specialized in the use of scenarios.

In fact, it is not suitable for use in flat and wide terrain. There are many more scientific and efficient structures available for this terrain than it. At least, it won't be such a spherical structure that even brakes in such a rough way.

Luo Zixuan watched the gate of the castle being gradually bombarded, and quietly repeated calculations to determine that he had come up with the optimal solution that the current data could support.

After all, it's about the future of a race, and how much use they can provide for themselves.

He still wants to be cautious and check it a few more times.

As an aboriginal who is familiar with the local mining environment and can provide a large number of laborers, in Luo Zixuan's opinion, the rat people are still very valuable.

If he could, he still didn't want to exterminate or enslave them. That would lead to less efficient mining.

The former leads to the mining task all on the head of the Sain, and the production and installation of mining machines take time, and it is pointless to waste them in vain.

In the case of the latter, the management cost is too high, and the number of believers under his command is not enough now.

Moreover, it adds a lot of instability.

Enslaving them will lead to a constant state of repression and resentment that will be detrimental to their development in the long run, and will inevitably lead to their inability to transform into devout believers.

In addition, although Luo Zixuan couldn't trust them for a short time, after a long time, he could still absorb devout believers from the rat people to join the legion and improve the strength of the Mechanical God Cult Army.

The Nezumi are a very good race for explosives.

Although the average life expectancy is only 30 years, it reproduces and matures rapidly. Mice are fully mature one month after birth, and can then participate in the next round of reproduction. If the situation is tense, you can also bring this time forward.

The rat people in this area are deliberately controlling the population because of their limited survival resources. They have the gift of actively inhibiting reproduction.

After Luo Zixuan took over, resources were not a problem, Sain had a lot of food, and the potential for agricultural resources was still very large.

After starting to use fertilizer and other technologies to further increase production, it is completely possible to provide them with a large amount of food, so that the nezumi can multiply to their heart's content, and increase the strength of the Mechanics as soon as possible.

It's good that the nezumi are willing to cooperate. He likes to work with races.

If the race is not cooperative enough, then Luo Zixuan can only say that he is a little disappointed, but it doesn't matter.

If necessary, forced or semi-coercive measures can be taken to accelerate population reproduction and maximize its contribution to the Cult of the Mechanicus. As long as the treatment of nezumi soldiers is guaranteed and betrayal is strictly punished, it is ensured that they remain loyal.

Every race, and every individual, is an indispensable cog in the eyes of the god of machines.

The Mechanicus is a huge machine, and everyone needs to do all their due obligations. Whatever they need to do, make sure they leave no stone unturned.

Therefore, to sum up, Luo Zixuan has some expectations for the rat man. The optimal development is naturally that the rat people willingly believe in the Cult of the Mechanicus.

In this way, they can be arranged to mine first, and gradually select some of the outstanding performers to join the army. After making sure that they can be trusted, they will start mass-producing nezumi and send them to the army at birth, where they will be loyal from an early age.

In this way, after a month, they will be able to go to war.

However, in any case, it must be noted that the Nezumi Legion must not be too numerous at this stage.

The reliability of the vanquished takes time to verify and assess.

The basic card of the Mechanics is currently only, and must be, Sain.

For the foreseeable period of time, the Sein's superiority over the nezumi and the number of troops over the nezumi must be ensured.

In this way, they can be controlled.

In the end, Luo Zixuan was sure that his calculations were not wrong, and he ended the threat assessment calculation.

He came to the following two conclusions.

1: After conquering the plane, execute all the nezumi who do not want to submit, and the rest are accepted as believers, and arranged to go to mining.

All production activities are to be carried out under the supervision of the Saines.

Whether the follow-up rat people can get more rights and treatment depends on performance.

2: The Rat King must die.

The rat people in this realm have become too dependent on their king, and the rat king has become a cancer that hinders the development of their race's strength, locking up the potential of science and technology.

If you make this kind of mechanical ball, you will make it better sooner or later.

The Rat King may have cared about his people and did nothing wrong.

However, his existence is a bug in itself, a bug that needs to be fixed.

From the macro perspective of the development of civilization, this kind of individual who has influenced the evolution of the race and created a comfortable circle of endless circles must be erased.

In this way, civilization will not continue to stagnate.

Even if the Rat King was willing to surrender, Luo Zixuan would not accept it.

Because his aura is too dazzling in the eyes of the nezumi, the nezumik's worship of him is always an unstable factor.

Only by killing him can the majesty of the god of machines be guaranteed to be supreme.
