Chapter 42: Can You Help Me?
"Actually, I need you to do me a small favor." Zhong Lao said, and then walked to the shelf. It was a rack full of knives against the wall, and there were knives of different shapes and shapes, and they were all in the form of Tang knives, narrow and sharp. Zhong Lao took a handful casually, waved it a few times, and the blade glowing with cold light cut through the air silently. Suddenly, Zhong Lao, who was holding a long knife, slashed at the anvil, and the cold light flashed, and Zhong Lao had already retracted his movements. At this moment, the anvil slowly split into two halves and fell to the ground with a muffled sound.
Yuan Dou looked at the numb scalp and thought that this knife was so sharp, and the legendary sharpening of iron like mud was nothing more than that.
Zhong Lao had a proud expression on his face and said, "This is the knife I forged, and all of them are here." Then he sighed, "They are sharp, but they lack a soul, and they are just a sharp weapon." ”
is different from the pride just now, at this time the face is lonely and helpless.
"After all, it is just an ordinary weapon, although it is as sharp as clay, but it is worthless to the strong. Because it doesn't increase stats, and it doesn't have skills. It's a pity to discard the tasteless food. ”
"As a blacksmith, I can make such a weapon at the limit, but I am not reconciled, such a weapon cannot satisfy me. After I saw that I was more armed, I wanted to make stronger equipment, just like armoring, that would improve the equipment of the pro. What I lacked was a way for alien civilizations to make weapons, so I kept researching to find the way to give souls to weapons. ”
"Earth was invaded, and the Great War ended in a crushing victory for Earth, leaving behind a lot of extraterrestrial technology. However, the earth-shattering war has left many things buried, and after constant searching, many things are still buried. I had been to a battle site and learned a lot from it, and it was then that I had only just started learning about alien technology, but I didn't have the knowledge of armament. ”
"However, I think there must be information about the armament in a site outside Hwaseong. I was going to risk my life to go on my own, but you found me and gave me a new choice. ”
"That's the little favor I want you to help." Zhong Lao said.
"No way!" Lian Yan hurriedly stopped Yuan Dou, who wanted to speak.
Yuan Dou gave Lian Yan a look, and then said, "How do you know about that ruin, and what danger will be there." ”
"I've checked the information, and it was once a main battlefield, where one of the enemy's motherships fell." Zhong Lao said.
"What about the danger? Why do you say nine deaths? Yuan Dou asked.
"I was trying to go in and look for it, and at the door I ran into a guard, a kind of mechanical guard. I think there must be a lot of mechanical guards inside the mothership that can move. And the guard was so powerful and so fast that I almost died there. Luckily they had their own range of motion, so I ran out. When Zhong Lao said, he still had an expression on his face for the rest of his life.
"I'm sorry, Zhong Lao, we can't help you, it's too dangerous, please find someone else to help." Yuan Dou said. Although Yuan Dou fantasized about the adventure scene, reason still stopped him, after all, he was still just a small martial artist, and the machine guards were not something he could handle.
"I can't ask for help, because I'm under government surveillance all the time. Moreover, don't you want to know Ye Tianqi's news, if you help me, I will tell you everything I know. Complete the research for me, if I make an armament, don't you want it? It's not the kind of mass-produced goods, but it really allows people to break through the armament of professionals. Zhong Lao said.
Although the armament has a great attraction to Yuan Dou, what if it can be successful? Moreover, it is really not worth risking your life for the sake of armament. Yuan Dou thought of this and didn't want to help with this, but Ye Yang and Ye Xi were very eager to find their grandfather. So, Yuan Dou looked at Ye Yang, and Ye Yang also looked over at this time, and the two made eye contact.
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, I still can't agree, although I want news from my grandfather, I can't let them take such a risk." ”
Zhong Lao couldn't help it, thought for a while, and said, "Although the strength of those guards is very strong, but if it is the strength of the grandmaster, I believe it will not be too difficult to deal with them." Moreover, I'm not completely unprepared, I still have a secret weapon, please follow me. ”
Yuan Dou and the others looked at each other, then nodded, and decided to go over and have a look first.
It turned out that there was a room next to the forging room, and when Yuan Dou and the others came here through the forging room, they were deeply attracted by the high-tech equipment inside, which was a completely different style from the forging room next door. Cables criss-cross the instruments of one kind or another, and in the middle is a huge display with data constantly refreshed. Around the display were some working square instruments, unknown for what they were for, flashing red signals from time to time. Near the wall, there are different instruments, and the small display on the instrument is always on, as if it is working.
Zhong Lao led us to a wardrobe-sized cabinet embedded in the wall.
"That's what I did, the secret weapon to explore the ruins," Zhong Lao said, raising his hand and pressing the white button on the wall. Then the silver-white door of the cabinet opened to both sides, and Yuan Dou saw what was inside, and it turned out to be an ugly robot. The two-meter-tall humanoid shape has a round head, a square chin, slender limbs, and bare joints, and there is no streamlined body as imagined, but only a torso made up of building blocks. The only advantage may be that it should have ten fingers that are flexible, and Yuan Dou is much disappointed.
"Well, yes, it's my masterpiece for many years." Zhong Lao seemed to like his work very much, and introduced this robot with great interest. However, Yuan Dou and the others looked at each other, and they both showed a black line.
"This is the secret weapon?" Yuan Dou said, looking disbelieving.
"Don't look at him for his humble appearance, look down on him, I can tell you, he is very powerful." Zhong Lao looked at Yuan Dou's expression and said unhappily, "Let me tell you, he is made of special alloys, his body is extremely hard, and his repair ability is extremely strong. I can actually make him look good, and even attach a simulated skin, like a real person, but this is the posture that he can use the most to show his strength. And his energy system is the antimatter energy system I found from a small alien spacecraft, and it's super powerful. His storage system was loaded with all the encyclopedias I could find, and he was an expert in almost every aspect. ”
