Chapter 1129: Industrial Shaman

This night was destined to be a sleepless night for the Bran Fire Dancer, and for any native Moisan tribesman, Tagaroka was a feared presence.

Even though Leo said he didn't know if the mysterious being was Tagaroka or not, Bran Fire Dancer trusted his own judgment, because the way the mysterious being attacked the caravan was the symbol of Tagaroga.

He didn't suspect that Leo was lying, but he couldn't think of a reason for Leo to tell such a lie, and he had a peculiar perception of being able to easily distinguish a lie, although this perception didn't work every time, but it didn't work very often, and he believed in his own perception.

On the other hand, although Leo was not sure if the mysterious being was Tagaroka, he still followed Bran's idea and temporarily applied the name of Tagaroka to the other party, and after Bran calmed down, he asked, "Do you know why Tagaroka attacked you?"

"I don't know why I'm being targeted by Tagaroga?" Bran was also at a loss, and then said with a gloomy face, "But Tagaroka has always been considered the embodiment of disorder of nature, and he doesn't need a reason for anything he does, and he will do it if he wants to." ”

Leo shook his head, obviously disagreeing with Bran's opinion, because he knew very well that the other party was not the kind of reckless madman who had been in contact with that Tagaroka at close range, but Bran in front of him obviously didn't understand the situation either, and he couldn't ask anything useful if he continued to ask.

Bran had already identified the mysterious existence of the caravan attack on Tagarica, and was very glad that he and his caravan were able to survive the attack on Tagarica, and had more speculation about Leo's identity, and even doubted that the Leo Dodd in front of him would be the one from the Dodd group.

So, driven by curiosity, he asked, "Excuse me, is your Excellency the Tolan Dodd of the Dodd Group?"

"No, I'm not Tolan Dodd. Leo couldn't help but smile when he heard Bran's inquiry, shook his head, and then asked with interest, "Can you tell me about Tolan Dodd?"

After Leo learned about the existence of the Dodd Group, he knew very well that the person who created the Dodd Group was either Sylvia or Tolan, so when he collected information, he also tried to collect information related to it.

However, most of the information he collected about the Dodd Group was just some open business information, and there was not much information about the top management of the Dodd Group, and even the black market did not have Sylvia, Tolan, and Erin after the fog disaster, so it was obvious that Sylvia used his power and influence to prevent himself and Tolan from leaking their information.

This is not a good thing for Leo, because it represents what Sylvia is guarding against, and it represents an enemy or opponent they have to worry about.

Although the Fire Dancer Caravan did not have a close relationship with the Dodd Group, the caravan was engaged in some low-level daily necessities trading, and had little contact with the main industrial products of the Dodd Group, but as a large caravan that traveled exclusively in the Kuishan Alliance, the Fire Dancer Caravan naturally had to collect information on the Dodd Group, a commercial group that almost controlled most of the economy of the Kuishan Alliance, in order to avoid conflicts with the top management of the Dodd Group, causing unnecessary losses and troubles.

According to the normal situation, it is impossible for Bran Fire Dancer to tell Leo the information he has collected about the Dodd Group, but because Leo saved the entire caravan, plus the other party is also surnamed Dodd, and when he heard Tolan Dodd's name, he showed that kind of closeness, so he felt that Leo Dodd in front of him might have something close to Tolan Dodd, so he didn't have too many worries, and recounted some of the information about the Dodd Group collected by the Fire Dancer Caravan to Leo.

Leo has already learned about the commercial achievements of the Dodd Group from the black market and other places, such as the fact that it appeared after the year of the fog disaster, and the entire group is mainly industrial products, and almost half of the steam engines on almost all continents are produced by the Dodd Group, including the steam locomotives of the Continental Railway.

In recent years, the Dodd Group has also become interested in arms trading, and soon became the sole supplier of weapons to many countries in Mozambique, and the weapons it produces have become one of the important commodities in the black market because of their cheapness and durability, which is why the black market does not have non-public intelligence information of the Dodd Group.

All in all, Dodd Group is the largest business giant that emerged after the fog disaster, and there are not many business groups that can compete with Dodd Group now, and most of those business groups have a strong country behind them.

It is precisely because of the strength of the Dodd Group that the intelligence information about the senior managers of the Dodd Group is also the focus of the collection of intelligence departments of various countries, but because of various reasons of interference, these materials are very small, such as the Fire Dancer Caravan, which has the support of a large tribe, does not collect much information about the top management of the Dodd Group, and most of these materials are the information that can be collected by the intelligence departments of various countries.

For example, almost all the high-level leaders of the Dodd Group are people with extraordinary powers, some of them are extraordinary, but there are also some mutated dependents and mutants, and there are only a few normal ordinary human beings, and those ordinary human high-level executives are all holding positions that are related to the outside world, such as press release officers and the like.

As for the true masters of the Dodd Group, the Fire Dancer Caravan can only collect a little information about Tolan Dodd, the founder of the Dodd Group.

Most of these materials are some of Tolan Dodd's positions in the Dodd Group and some business decisions, and there is only one thing that has nothing to do with business, that is, Tolan Dodd once rejected the status of the Chosen One from the Church of the Lord of the Sky, went deep into the wasteland alone, and became a shaman under the guidance of a shaman of a hidden tribe.

This thing seems very absurd to many people, because shamans worship nature, their beliefs and power come from nature, and they also return to nature after death, and shamanism has always believed that industry is the existence of destroying nature, so they have been secretly obstructing the development of industry.

For example, the Moisan Continent has not yet had a truly complete railway around the continent because of the influence of shamanic forces, and the reason why the Fire Dancer Caravan is only engaged in the trade of daily necessities with very low profits, rather than those with extremely high profits, is also because of the influence of shamanic beliefs.

However, the founder of the world's largest private industrial group in Vilun became a shaman, which is undoubtedly the greatest refutation and irony of the shaman's claim that industry will destroy nature, and it is for this reason that governments have found an excuse to refute it, and the Circumcontinental Railway project in Mozambique has been implemented.

It's just that, in this way, Tolan Dodd has become the object of hatred of the vast majority of shamanic forces, although for various reasons, shamanic forces do not dare to directly attack Tolan Dodd, but some small actions against the Dodd group have never stopped, and the actual influence of the Dodd group has been limited to the Kuishan Alliance is also related to this.

However, there are those who oppose Tolan Dodd, and naturally there are those who support Tolan Dodd, and within shamanism, some shamans believe that times have changed, the world has changed, and that if humans want to survive in this monster-infested world, they must rely on more easily mastered and effective forces, such as the power of industry.

Even the most stubborn shaman has to admit that the cold weapons produced through industry are sharper and more durable, and weapons such as steam engine crossbows are more able to help the tribe resist the attacks of monsters and reduce the casualties of the tribe.

Therefore, some up-and-coming shamans thought that since Tolan Dodd could become a shaman, he represented nature and recognized industry as a part of nature, so these people quickly gathered together and formed a shamanic branch that was not particularly large, declaring itself an industrial shaman and advocating the integration of the power of industry into themselves.

Although the Fire Dancer tribe follows the teachings of the ancient natural shamans, it is clear that Bran Fire Dancer should be a new shaman who agrees with the teachings of the industrial shaman, so he is particularly excited when he mentions the industrial shaman, and even completely forgets that Leo wants the information of the Dodd group, and instead introduces the teachings of the industrial shaman to Leo himself.

At first, Leo didn't have much interest in Bran's industrial shamanic teachings, and the reason why he didn't stop Bran was because this shamanic branch was related to his own son, but when he heard the more detailed introduction of industrial shamans later, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and when he heard that the industrial shaman installed some mechanical devices engraved with mysterious inscriptions on his body, he immediately felt like he couldn't cry or laugh, because most of the content of this industrial shaman's teachings seemed to come from his whims.

When Leo hit a plateau in his psionic skills, he would put down his research and turn to other things to sort out his messy thoughts, and his favorite thing to do was to jot down some of his thoughts about steam machinery, supernatural powers, and the composition of the world, among which were the rudiments of industrial shamanism.

Leo had seen in Miria the installation of mechanical devices in the human body through existing medicine and extraordinary powers, and had also seen the product of the polarization of the mechanical industry in Lake Town, the mechanical maid who was almost the same as artificial intelligence, and he was even more concerned about this aspect because he was a biochemical warrior, so he often came up with some related whimsical ideas, and when he was in Castle Black, he compiled his past thoughts together and wrote a complete plan.

In the proposal, he elaborated on the energy efficiency of the human body when combined with mechanical devices, the various criticisms that would be encountered in secular society for such practices, and the solutions and self-justifying ideas that are now the main content of the industrial shamanic teachings.

Leo even suspects that the industrial shaman is now actively implanting some steam machinery to make his body semi-industrialized, which is also due to his other simulation plan on how to make mechanical strange objects, implant machinery to improve combat effectiveness, and eliminate the rejection reaction after mechanical implantation.

The reason for this proposal was that Sylvia mentioned that there were a large number of physically disabled veterans in the United Kingdom, who were able to receive some relief from the Crown but were doing very badly, and that if these veterans could be restored, they would be a significant force.

Sylvia mentioned this to Leo because she hoped that Leo would be able to create a healing potion that could treat the disabled, but Leo had the idea of using the existing and relatively mature mechanical transplant surgery to implant the disabled soldiers with more powerful and ergonomic mechanical devices.

At that time, almost all mature mechanical prostheses and prostheses were mounted, which was not convenient to use, and even if there were implantable ones, because of the body's rejection reaction, it was necessary to take some drugs with great side effects, which would seriously affect the life expectancy. If it weren't for the special status of the old man Rembrandt, who could often get the priests and priests of various churches to clean his body with divine magic, he might have died a long time ago.

The mechanical transplantation scheme deduced by Leo through his own knowledge is to reduce the rejection reaction by making the transplanted mechanical device into a strange object, and at the same time, it can also allow the implanter to obtain some power that only extraordinary people have.

The whole mechanical implantation program was completed very smoothly, with the support of a huge database, the whole program from the idea to the completion of Leo took less than half a day, but after the completion of the program, Leo found that his program had a huge loophole, that is, he forgot to calculate the bearing capacity of the implanted person.

This endurance is not only the physical and mental endurance of the implanted person in the process of adaptation after being implanted with the mechanical strange object, but also whether the implanted person can withstand the erosion of the extraordinary power constantly generated in the mechanical strange object.

In Leo's deduction in the spirit world, even if he is an extraordinary person, it is difficult to withstand the perennial power erosion of the steam mechanical strange things he creates, and finally all of them have undergone uncontrollable mutations without exception, becoming a half-human and half-machine monster.

Because of this, this plan was shelved by Sylvia and did not go ahead.

However, one of the drugs specially developed by Leo in this plan to reduce the rejection reaction of implants was favored by Sylvia because it did not involve extraordinary powers, and she was ready to use it in the future.

Now, judging from the emergence of industrial shamans, this plan seems to have been taken out again, and the shortcomings in the plan regarding the implanted being eroded by the supernatural power generated by industrial curiosities seem to have been filled, otherwise it would not have been possible for industrial shamans to develop.
