Chapter Twenty-Three: The Chrono Vortex (Part II)
After listening to Eru Lome's speculation, the more Ivan thought about it, the more it made sense, and combined with Herder's silent diversion of Diregi, he could conclude that the woman was planning to reorganize herself.
In order to avoid becoming the target of public criticism and repeating Bakar's mistakes, Ivan decided to exercise restraint for the time being and not retaliate by killing: You use genetic weapons to attack ocean planets, and I use political weapons to attack Yasfar, and when Yasfar joins the Far Eastern Alliance, the matter of throwing the plague will be settled.
While secretly helping Lilith grow her power, Evan is also trying his best to increase his power in order to fight against Hurd's conspiracy.
Although it is difficult to go further in its own power, the advantage of the mechanical empire is scale - which means that the empire only needs to understand one technology to carry out large-scale mass production.
After so many years of digestion and absorption, the high-end combat machine technology of the original hundreds of millions of Norma stars has been completely digested by the empire, and even a small part of it has been surpassed; on this basis, as long as enough resources are invested, it can mass-produce mechanical lifeforms of the level of the Black Wing Great Demon.
And so he did.
Taking advantage of the huge technical reserves and production capacity of the Machine Empire, Evan set up four production lines in one go, and launched the production and research and development tasks of four types of mechanical combat weapons at the same time.
Due to the ripe production conditions, these four types of mechanical combat weapons have already had their own code names before they came out.
They are: Fullmetal Mecha Fighting God, Iron Will Namegate, Spotlight Argos, and Stormtrooper Lampard.
Full metal mecha fighting god.
Optimization Type – Defense.
Humanoid combat weapons, equipped with powerful armor and light firepower, can unleash an electromagnetic shield that covers the entire body to resist any form of attack when attacked. The robotic arm can transform into a rotating flywheel, dealing great damage to opponents and having certain melee capabilities.
It resembles an orc walking upright, with extremely thick arms, two pairs of mechanical claws that even hang down to the ground, and a power orb that resembles a red-hot ball of coal, capable of absorbing the light energy granted by Ivan to enhance its properties.
When necessary, it can also accept the final enhancement of the giant light, and bring out the performance to the fullest.
In a short period of time in the state of giantization, the strength of the all-metal mecha fighting god is enough to suppress the inheritance-level powerhouse.
Iron will, Namegate.
Optimization Type – Attack.
Based on the Dragon God Soldier, the dragon-like combat weapon optimized for production is equipped with a flame focusing cannon, a high-temperature shotgun, an energy oscillator, and an anti-gravity flight system.
Ignoring its heavy weaponry and mechanical body, Namegate looks like a dragon.
Among the new generation of combat weapons, Namegate has the most powerful firepower, and its firepower is no less than that of the Shenyuan Machine, which specializes in destruction. Once activated, the energy oscillator installed in the claw area can give it powerful field control and suppression capabilities, and with powerful heavy firepower weapons, it can be said to be an agile strong nemesis.
The power core is located in the head, and like the all-metal mecha fighting god, it is also able to receive the ultimate enhancement of the giant light, and the performance is at its peak.
In a short period of time in the giant state, Namegate's ordinary artillery bombardment can destroy the continent, and the release of the flame-focused cannon can even explode stars.
Spotlight of Argaus.
Optimization Type – Energy Force Field.
Argos resembles a gorilla in appearance, and is a mechanical lifeform designed by Evan based on the silverback gorilla.
As a semi-auxiliary combat weapon, Argos has the ability to absorb and direct energy on a large scale. Combined with the newly developed condenser, it can even convert nuclear energy into light energy and feed it into the body of other combat weapons. When the energy is sufficient, Argos is able to center on himself and create a layer of energy force field that interferes with space, making it immune to most physical damage.
Its power ball is located at the waist and is able to absorb the energy of the condenser and optimize its own combat capabilities.
At the same time, it can also save the giant beam, giving this huge power to allied units, but it will lose some of it, and the duration and enhancement ability will also shrink to a certain extent.
If the Fullmetal Mecha God of Fighting is a knight and Iron Will is a mage, then Argos is defined as a priest. For mechanical lifeforms, the existence of Argos is almost equivalent to infinite endurance.
Stormtrooper Frank Lampard.
Optimization types – Attack, Agility, Defense.
Humanoid combat weapons, equipped with the most destructive and assault spiral guns, on top of which are also set up with their own light armor and energy shields. Boasting the strongest jet thrusters in his legs, Lampard's speed advantage is maximised and his movements look incredibly agile.
Of the new generation of combat weapons, Frank Lampard is arguably the most unassuming, as it looks indistinguishable from a normal individual combat mech.
However, once in battle, Lampard will exert a destructive power similar to that of a berserker, and his overall performance can be called the strongest, and since the prototype of the spiral gun is a godkiller, once Lampard activates the spiral gun, he can destroy the absolute realm of the inheritance level, and is the nemesis of all defensive strong.
Frank Lampard's power ball is located on the back and, like its brother, absorbs light energy to strengthen itself.
Receiving the boost of the Giant Ray, Lampard was able to stand up to the mechanics who piloted the Divine Machine, and with the support of Argos, he could even win.
......
Silent City, Throne of the Machines.
"Back to the master, the production line has been built, and it will start according to your instructions. If the current capacity is continued, the finished product can be harvested within 72 hours...... The machine empire is still very productive at the moment, and I suggest that the owner expand production. Inside the information matrix, Xiao Xi's face tightened, and he reported his work seriously.
"Then continue to expand production capacity!"
Ivan nodded, then gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Within a month, I want 40 all-metal mecha fighting gods, 30 Iron Will, 10 Argos, and 50 Lampard." ”
“......”
Xiao Xi seemed to be frightened by his order, and was stunned for a moment before he said weakly: "Master, will the number be a bit much?" These are all inheritance-level mechanical lifeforms, and the maintenance cost of each unit is a heavenly number...... Even in the mechanical empire, it is very difficult to maintain their resource consumption. ”
"You carry out the order. ”
Evan shook his head and said with a sigh, "If it weren't for the lack of resources, I would like to double this number!"
"Master, you don't want to start a war and conquer the universe, do you?" Egged on by curiosity, Xiao Xi deliberately lowered her voice and asked mysteriously.
In her calculations, even the Federation does not have such a terrifying armed force, and Evan is so tossed and turned, it seems that he is suspected of being recklessly militaristic - as an excellent artificial intelligence, she can't watch her master do stupid things.
"You know what!"
Evan glared at her, causing her to instantly turn into a posture of holding her head and squatting defensively, and then said helplessly: "I have no intention of starting a war, I call it prevention and prevention...... That guy Heard is probably going to do something to me, and I can't afford to be on guard. ”
"I see......"
Xiao Xi nodded consciously, and then changed his image to a heroic Valkyrie: "Don't worry, master! Although I am not good at fighting, Xiao Xi will fight until the last moment in order to protect my master!"
"You...... You forget it. ”
Looking at her posture, Evan said with a wry smile: "Don't be skinny, give me a good job! If even you have to go to war, I will almost die." ”
"Okay. ”
Xiao Xi drooped her head, looked at him with a pitiful look, and then disappeared with a flicker.
"Where is artificial intelligence, it is clearly artificial intellectual disability......"
After seeing Xiaoxi disappear, Evan only felt that she was getting more and more skinny now, and couldn't help but complain.
"Master, you speak ill of me!" Xiao Xi's image jumped out again.
“......”
Evan didn't speak, just forcibly ignored her presence and carried out the renovation work in Silent City.
As a dimensional shuttle device, Silent City can be said to be a mobile war fortress, and if used well, it can even fight guerrilla warfare with apostle-level opponents. But in the past, he almost only used Silent City as a means of transportation, and he was indeed suspected of being overkill.
That's why he's going to develop the true capabilities of Silent City and make it the most powerful mobile fortress possible.
Due to Herder's possession of transfer magic, Evan optimized the reverse osmosis system to the extreme when he redesigned Silent City.
With the idea of reverse osmosis, he divided the Silent City into two areas, the upper part called the Temple of Excellence and the lower part called the Palace of Gensheng.
The Primordial Palace, where the production line of the Silent City is located, is capable of mass-producing and maintaining low-to-mid-level mechanical warriors. It is divided into three layers, namely the Sanctuary of Birth, the Sanctuary of Spread, and the Sanctuary of Annihilation.
The Sanctuary of Excellence, the super-defensive line of defense with heavy troops, is also the most elaborate part of the design of the Silent City.
There are four floors, each of which is two opposing areas.
They are the altar of light, the altar of darkness, the altar of strength, the altar of wisdom, the temple of light, and the temple of darkness...... and the final Throne of the Machines. Within the confines of the Sanctuary of Excellence, there are energy control rooms on each floor, which, together with the condenser and the energy injected by Evan, can continuously generate energy suppression.
Any enemy who trespasses into the Silent City will be weakened by the effect of energy suppression.
Conversely, if you are a member of the Silent City's headquarters, you will receive the buff from the Energy Control Room.
More importantly, Silent City has a complete spatial division system, capable of interfering with the use of transfer magic and spatial abilities.
Because of this, it is impossible for any intruder to directly enter the Throne of Machines!
Either possess apostolic power, tear apart the interference of the spatial division system, and break into the mechanical throne.
Either you can enter the Mechanical Throne by attacking the fortifications layer by layer, pushing from the light and darkness to the top floor, and destroying the spatial division system of the Temple of Excellence on the physical level.
Either way, it can't be hidden from Ivan Eye.
On this basis, he was confident that Silent City would be a fortress that could never fall, and that the Throne of Machines would be a forbidden area for life that no one could enter.
......
"Master, master......" Just as Evan was concentrating on the design work, Xiao Xi shouted weakly.
"What's the matter?"
"Lord Taltan, His Excellency Mategar, is waiting for you on the shores of the lake in the royal court, saying that he has something important to discuss with you. ”
"I see. ”
Hearing this, Evan immediately stopped what he was doing, stored all the data, and encrypted it. Then he tore open a wormhole that led to the royal court, stepped into it, and walked to the king of Taltan, who was waiting for him on the shore of the garden lake.
"You've been very busy lately, do you suspect that Herder is ready to deal with you?" As the king of the Taltan clan, Matega also speaks in a straightforward style, belonging to the type that does not have a word of nonsense.
"Yes...... But I don't have any solid evidence, it's all speculation. "It's a matter of life and death, and Evan has nothing to hide.
"Well, your speculation may be correct. ”
Matgar turned his back to Evan and looked at the calm lake, and suddenly changed his words: "Have you heard of the Chrono Vortex?"
"What's that?" Ivan shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of it.
"After Lord Antun accepted the Federation's recruitment, he was placed in the forbidden space of the Northern Star Domain, ostensibly giving our clan a territory. Actually...... Our race has been given an important task to monitor the movements of the Chrono Vortex and the Cosmic Demon Clan. ”
Mattga turned her head and looked at him with blazing white pupils, revealing a solemn look:
"The so-called space-time vortex is a space-time anomaly phenomenon caused by the cosmic demon projecting its power into the material world. Normally, when the chrono vortex first begins, a planet is obscured. In the process, cosmic demons will use their power to block out external interference and keep the planet's surface in a normal state. ”
"Only after enough souls have been absorbed will the true chrono vortex be unleashed, bringing the entire star system into the realm of cosmic demons. ”
"In other words, by the time you know about the formation of the Chrono Vortex, it's probably too late. ”
After saying this, the King of Taltan didn't wait for Ivan to ask, and told him directly: "I have come here to inform you that I have felt the formation of a chrono vortex. ”
"You're trying to tell me...... This so-called space-time vortex is near the Far Eastern Star Field?" Evan looked at him suspiciously, and asked in disbelief, "So, where is it?"
"I don't know...... I just felt something like a forbidden space, and everything was changing subtly. ”
Mattga raised his head and looked at the sky around him: "But where exactly it is, and how far it has been brewing, I can't show any evidence - you are our alliance leader, I hope you can pay attention to it." ”
