Chapter 8: Propulsion

Inside the mechanical ball, there was a pile of blood and broken corpses for a while.

Even the rat-men who had not been shot were in a state of extreme terror, and some of them were knocked over by the corpses that fell from their seats, and they fell to their heads on the battered steel structure.

There are no rat people in either mechanical ball anymore.

However, it continued to run at high speed due to inertia, and was dodged by the Seines, and it slammed straight down the hill and eventually fell off the cliff.

It wasn't until a few seconds later that a loud sound of two heavy objects falling to the bottom of the cliff in quick succession was heard.

This is one of the reasons why the region is so rich in mineral resources.

Although it has a horizontal area of only four square kilometers, the vertical difference here is very large, and the terrain is very complex, which virtually expands the actual area of activity in this area.

Obviously, the rats only have these two mechanical balls.

Because they didn't release any new ones, and all of them suffered a serious morale blow because their proud weapons were easily destroyed.

No Sain was injured by the mechanical orb.

Although a few people were wiped by the ejection of stray bullets, the steel suits and helmets also managed to protect their fragile flesh from damage.

Luo Zixuan was very satisfied with this result.

Because, the device of the nezumi is still considered a mechanical device.

If he wanted to, he could just take control of it, and then let it be used as siege devices to hit the gates or fall off the cliffs at will.

But he didn't want to.

Because, in his opinion, solving problems with magic is always the next resort.

Because this will cause believers to rely too much on their gods, which is not a good thing.

That will make the Mechanicus never get out of its infancy and become a mature and reliable army.

As a strong legion, you must be able to use your strength to overcome difficulties and obstacles.

Unless, they encounter an unexpected situation that Luo Zixuan judged to be beyond the scope of his ability, he will help.

The so-called contingency is the invasion of the gods.

Although it is a limited-time battle at the moment, there is still plenty of time. If the hostile deity could be there within two hours, he would be surprised.

In fact, the rifles of the Sains were all hung with grenade launchers. One grenade is built-in, and there are also two spare ones on the body. However, the soldiers fired it only when the priest ordered it to be used.

However, just now, the priests, taking into account various factors, did not give the order to open fire.

The reason is that when the mechanical ball first started to act, everyone, including the priest, was slightly shaken and uneasy, and could not react immediately.

When the fire began to gather later, the mechanical ball was already very close to the frontline personnel. They feared that the mechanism, which was so loosely spliced, would shoot fragments under the blast impact of a grenade.

This is the disadvantage of the lack of real combat experience.

According to Luo Zixuan's calculations, if he used a grenade earlier, he could directly intercept the mechanical ball under the city wall, and even push it backwards through the impact force, directly knocking out a gap in the city wall.

However, the Legion panicked at the first time and failed to adopt the best tactics.

Fortunately, the results did not have much impact.

All of this has further verified Luo Zixuan's two ideas.

First: Let your followers practice their hands before the upcoming first defensive battle, and it will really benefit immensely.

This battle serves as a warm-up to help them become more familiar with what it's like to fight with new equipment.

In addition, they can also perceive many deficiencies that they cannot expose at all in training.

He expects that after this invasion war, which has not yet suffered human losses, it will be possible to reduce the casualty index of the defensive battle two days later by about 30 percent.

Second: the advantages of mechanical creatures are too great, and in the future, after the civilization of believers develops to a strong enough level, the process of mechanization of the whole clan must begin.

At that time, there will be no more sickness and pain. As long as the data is well preserved, immortality can also be obtained.

Mechanization does not mean abandoning the soul. Personality is just kept as data.

Even if you become a mechanical being, you are still you.

Luo Zixuan himself is the most powerful proof.

He used to be a carbon-based creature, and even if he slept for a few hours, he would be exhausted, and even minor illnesses such as fever and diarrhea would be tortured listlessly.

However, after becoming a mechanical creature, these problems are no longer felt.

The reason why the soldiers of the Cult of the Mechanicus had fallen into a short-term panic just now was because of a flaw in the underlying logic of the brains of carbon-based creatures.

As long as they are carbon-based organisms composed of a large number of proteins, this kind of bug cannot be completely fixed. Even if there is faith and so on as an upgrade patch, it can't completely cover up the flaws.

Fear, anger, grief......

Carbon-based life is often invaded by these useless emotions in the thinking circuit, resulting in the inability to take the most efficient and rational actions in the current situation, so as to achieve the optimal solution.

When he first became the god of machines, Luo Zixuan also questioned whether he was losing his humanity and became cold-blooded because of his extremely calm psychological state.

But now, he found that the question did not constitute a question, and there was no need to answer it at all.

This kind of self-questioning is only because he has not yet achieved the ultimate human-machine integration at that time.

The more it transforms into a thoroughly mechanical life, the more rational and sensible can achieve the best balance and harmony with each other.

It can not only carry out the optimal action without errors in any situation, but also suppress those complex emotions and wait for the right moment to explode.

On the contrary, those low-level mechanical lifeforms will be emotionless and cold.

It's just that the technology is not up to par.

That kind of artificial intelligence is just a clumsy imitation of the idea of carbon-based lifeforms, but everything still bears the traces of artificial carving.

Luo Zixuan saw that the battlefield began to advance forward.

The soldiers continued to advance, and began to blast down steel spike traps and barricades in an orderly manner under the command of the priests.

It stands to reason that behind these barricades placed in the fan-shaped area outside the city gates, there should be nezumi armed with spears and bows and arrows for defense.

However, the high rate of fire and the dense rain of bullets with high lethality were too much of a deterrent, and these rat people had to choose to push behind the safer walls in the first place.

This will cause this situation, which is also expected by the god of machines.

Because, although these barricades are also made of steel, their strength and thickness are not ideal, and they will still be easily penetrated. Really hide in the back, one round of fire suppression, it will turn into a pathetic corpse.

If it continues like this, the gates will soon be breached.

However, at this point, something interesting happened.

An unusually burly and sturdy nezumi, wearing extremely heavy armor and holding a giant axe, appeared on the top of the castle tower!
