Chapter 594: The Demon Knight's Final Test
At the same time that Lelouch is doing things in the free city, located in the far far north of the continent through the Yanod mountain range in the east and west of the continent, as the king of the white dragon, Yalin is also racking his brains to develop the city of Ulduar, you must know that the novice protection period has been less than a year, and the next city of Rio Ulduar is facing a war.
And early this morning, Yalin took some time out of his official duties and came to the forge hall, because this was the last technical experiment of the Demon Knight prototype, and after the experiment, the Demon Knight would enter the mass production stage.
In the forge hall, many people involved were putting the finishing touches on the four Demon Knight prototypes, and on the test bench in another place, Firi, who had always liked to sleep in, had also arrived early in the morning, and was talking to a female elf mage with a report at the moment.
On the platform beneath Fili, the Titan-like Demon Knight stood silently, surrounded by brackets holding the huge fuselage in place. The whole body is painted in dark green, with spherical armor with spikes fixed on the left shoulder, and a heavy armor shield on the right shoulder. The design of the observation device with the same round head and red one-eyed observation device will be recognizable to fans who are from the same world as Yalin, and the shape of this thing is derived from one of the most well-known mechs in the Gundam anime series, Zagu!
Originally, the appearance of the Demon Knight was defined as Zaku rather than Gundam, mainly because Zaku's appearance was more suitable for cold weapon combat than the Gundam, which was too fancy in appearance. After all, there are no beam guns to use in the other world, and even long-range weapons are extremely lacking. Even during the Dragon War 10,000 years ago, the Demon Knight's main weapon was still based on melee combat, and considering the speed of mass production, the various types of Gundams that were too fancy and gorgeous were directly denied by a group of researchers, including Yalin and the mechanical pioneer Victor.
Considering that the imaginary enemy of the Demon Knight is mainly a dragon, the armor of this experimental machine is all made with King Kong as the main body. The key parts are made of Mithril as a material, the main weapons are two-handed axes and two-handed hammers, and they are also equipped with replaceable one-handed weapons and shields, and a short sword for melee combat is added to the shield on the right shoulder, all of which are made by using Mithril as the main body inlaid with obsidian.
As a dragon lord who had participated in the Dragon Wars, Arin knew very well that weapons made of ordinary steel were very lethal to dragons. It's a little better against some soft-scaled dragons, but it's miserable if it's against hard-scaled dragons like the Black Dragon, the White Dragon, the Golden Dragon, and the Red Dragon.
Of course, it is also expensive to make this set of weapons, especially obsidian, and because there are no obsidian veins in the Arnold Mountains, all of them must be exchanged by the system, and the cost of a set of weapons alone is enough to make Yalin's flesh hurt.
"Ah~ Lin Lin, you're here. β
Fili, who was on the platform, suddenly saw Arin who appeared in front of her, and left the elven mage who was still explaining to herself, and the girl jumped up and ran over.
"I'm going to work hard for you today~ Fili!" Yalin also patted Fili's little head quite happily.
"Lin Lin, what have you been busy with all this time? I haven't seen you for a long time. β
If it weren't for the fact that she was in public, Fili might have gone straight into Arin's arms. Yalin was indeed very busy during this time, and Yalin's government workload has also increased dramatically since the start of currency issuance. Not only Arin, but also Shunezel and Luini are also very busy. Of course, now is not the time to talk about home, after a few small talks, Arin took Fili to find Victor next to the Demon Knight, the mechanical madman was personally doing the final inspection of a Demon Knight, and the interesting thing is that Yalin also saw a Winy Lockbell who was in a state of mechanical madness next to Victor.
This childhood sweetheart from the steel world, as Edward Xiaodouzi, is beside Victor at the moment, showing an intoxicated look, and writing something quickly with a pen.
For a while, Arin was a little embarrassed to disturb these two mechanical madmen who were still silent in their own affairs.
Victor is indeed worthy of the title of a mechanical pioneer, and Wen Li, who is also a fan of machinery, suddenly became friends after meeting Victor because of their common hobbies, and even had an attitude of hating each other. After learning that Victor had completely transformed his body into a robot. Wen Li even showed a look of worship to him, and then Wen Li, who fell into the mania of mechanical transformation, began to look at Edward with strange eyes more than once. That look was almost like trying to transform Xiaodouzi into a robot, causing Edward to avoid her for fear of Wen Li's excessive fanaticism in recent times.
Of course, it is impossible for Wen Li to transform Edward into a robot in the end, because for this kind of physical transformation, Yalin is definitely a NO attitude, after apprenticeship with Victor, Wen Li not only learned a lot of advanced mechanical knowledge, Victor also created a set of tools for Wen Li to repair and manufacture mechanical armor to solve Wen Li's urgent needs.
"Ahla~ It's Lord Yalin. And Fili's little sister~" Wen Li first noticed Yalin who came over, plus Fili, who was a little shorter for herself.
Fili puffed out her face, obviously very dissatisfied with the title of little sister.
"You have come at the right time, Your Excellency!"
Victor also raised his head, and the mechanical arm holding the tool above his head also retracted his back at this time: "Today you will see the most outstanding control system I have personally designed, this new system can increase the power of the Demon Knight by 15%!"
"That's exciting! But I'd like to introduce you to one of them. From today onwards, he will be the full-time pilot of the Demon Knight you designed. β
After a few words of greeting, Yalin stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation, and behind Yalin, a young man with blue hair and blue eyes and a military uniform who looked to be in his twenties walked up and gave a military salute to Victor.
Yalin's tone was rare with a bit of relief: "This is Chiligu Cupi, today he will replace the original driver to conduct the Demon Knight test. β
"Newcomer?" Victor, who is not good at expressing his feelings, said directly: "Although it is your recommendation, as a newcomer, no matter how talented he is, but the first time he is a demon knight, I am afraid that he is not as good as the previous driver in terms of adaptation, and the data obtained in this way is not accurate." β
"Don't worry!"
Yalin said confidently: "Maybe you will redesign the system to meet his abilities at that time." β
Chiligu Cuppie!
Of course, Kewpie here is not some kind of bad salesman who looks as cute as a cat, as long as you are a fan of the "Robot Wars" series of games, you will never forget a character, from the original 1983 old anime "Armored Cavalry" male protagonist. People give the nickname Inspire Brother, a male protagonist who has been jokingly called by fans more than ten years later than the stick of his sister's hand!
In masterpieces such as "Gundam", "Macross Fortress", "Full Metal Frenzy", and "Lelouch of CodeGeass Rebellion", the plot of the protagonist as a pilot driving a special super mech into the battlefield can be said to run through the plot of the entire work. And in the future, many new machine combat anime will mostly use the same template, a super mech, a super pilot, and then one person has been invincible and reversed the tide of battle to win!
However, as 1983's "Armored Cavalry", it completely subverted this clichΓ© plot. Here, as the protagonist, Killgu Cupi drove a mass-produced machine to crush and defeat an enemy special machine and special body, the grasp of the battlefield situation, the extreme manipulation of the body, rather than simply relying on the gap in the body itself to crush the enemy, completely deduced the feeling of a real super ace driver of machine warfare.
There are even comic friends who directly commented that Qi Ligu is the first super god stick actor to open the real machine battle out of the super machine battle, and it is definitely the pilot of a super machine battle who went to the wrong studio.
It can be said that the strongest fighter pilot in Arin's heart is definitely Killgu Cuppie, and as for the so-called strongest adjuster, changemaker, new human and the like in the Gundam series in the future, please stand aside and cool off!
After completing a subsidiary building and receiving a lot of soul energy rewards, Yalin was fortunate enough to summon Qi Ligu. Although Qi Ligu's potential cannot be compared to that of Saint Seiya Heroic Spirit. However, he has a talent for body posture that is even higher than that of Suzaku Suzaku, and after the summoning system has been stuffed with a lot of discordant works by the evil creator 'Panda', Yarin is already glad to be able to summon the character Qiligu Cuppie, who is a normal anime.
At Arin's recommendation, Victor decided to let Killigu try the masterpiece he had worked so hard to design, and apologized to Jarin for letting Killgu read the information about the Demon Knight, knowing that the driving method of the Demon Knight was different from the mecha codenamed 'Glasses Dog' that Killigu had previously controlled. One is to sit inside and manipulate the control stick, and the other is to be completely mentally connected to control the body directly with brainwaves.
Qi Ligu, who didn't talk much, quickly entered the body with the help of the ground crew, and the internal magic circle was connected to Qi Ligu's spirit. When the restraint was loosened, the huge demon knight began to walk with heavy steps, each step containing a great deal of power. There is a powerful sense of deterrence just by showing it to others.
"Qi Ligu, how are you feeling?"
Looking at the demon knight who was still moving his limbs, Yalin stood below and waved his hand and asked.
Killigu's voice came out through an external speaker, and Victor also expressed temporary helplessness about this question, after all, the connection between the human nerve and the whole body is natural. Every neuronal response is swiftly transmitted to the limbs. However, the Demon Knight is subtle, and even if the mechanical pioneer Victor carefully designs the internal circle and transmission system, the driver as a foreign object can never achieve 100% harmony with the body, and when the driver tries to make movements, the Demon Knight body always has to slow down a little bit.
But although there are such small flaws. However, it did not affect the overall performance of the Demon Knight, and soon several other prototypes were launched, and the next stage of important experiments was about to begin. (To be continued......)
