Anne's finger biting behavior is like an ordinary person gnawing on his own nails, it can't be said to be a good habit but it won't bring any additional effects to himself, what is bitten off is a piece of meat, although Anne bites off is also a piece of meat, but it is insignificant, the place where she bit herself quickly recovered, as for the finger that was bitten off has been shaped by her into a pet bird-like creature.

A small section of the finger itself contains meat and bones, which is a very convenient material for Anne to use, and the more Zheng Yichen looks at this bird, the more familiar it becomes: "Why a crow?"

"Because it's more common, let's use it. Anne casually stuffed the created crow to Zheng Yichen, this thing has the magic of the earth witch, but it is not a creature with the power of the witch, that part of the magic is just an inducement, combined with the crow's special sense of smell, he can find the artificial witch with the earth witch.

Among the information collected by Zheng Yichen, the number of earth witches is not large, this type of witch has a strong defense, but the offensive seems to be very average, not as strong as other witches who have died, and they have strong destructive power and lethality.

The Labst Empire and the Orb Empire are more and more experienced in fighting, and the witch power is very strong, but they have the extra convenience brought by magic technology and soul gems, so they can also use the witch power, not to mention that the holy woman power of the Templar Church can also be integrated with the soul gem, relying on this advantage, the Labst Empire has pulled out a group of special forces with the power of the saint, using the unique magic armor, plus enough magic energy support, it has become the main force on the battlefield against those witches.

Of course, this part of the combat power is basically to deal with the power of the witch, the conventional power of the Labst Empire's magic weapon has the advantage, but the witch power on the side of the Orb Empire has developed stronger, so the head-to-head confrontation has the advantage, but it is difficult to push back, the magic technology has exploded with huge potential under the accumulation of the magic system, but this potential has been said before, and it is not so exaggerated.

This is also the situation, the Labst Empire can try more equipment made by magic technology, the best test target is those witch power, after all, with conventional combat power, magic guns, cannons and other weapons can already crush ordinary armies, as long as you want to, you can be a whole army shooter, and normal soldiers want to be archers, more or less need some talent, and factors such as hit rate fluctuate greatly.

Just use firearms, the rate of fire is completely explosive, not to mention those ordinary archers, the range is longer, while the two armies hand over the mages to contain each other, ordinary soldiers pull out their guns is a round of strafing, and after a few hundred meters of driving, the enemy's army will be wiped out first, and it is not that it can't be fought if the distance is shortened.

Zheng Yichen is not a military fan about how the firearms and weapons on the earth are developed, but the firearms on the other side of the world give priority to the development of range, as long as the range is strong enough, everything else is easy to say, and then it is powerful enough and so on, after all, the casters in the battlefield must first contain each other, and no one has ever asked the casters not to go to the battlefield.

The caster who goes to the battlefield is basically releasing magic here and countering magic there, and then counterattacking in a loop, which looks like a turn-based one, but in fact it has to be done, otherwise ordinary soldiers don't want to play any role, and a wave of pushing over the caster to a few high-level magic will directly wipe out the soldiers......

The bullets from the guns are not magic, so if the caster wants to counteract, he can only add a shield to the soldiers, and the shield can be added to some soldiers, but add it to all the soldiers, and the caster should not fight against the other party's caster, the magic is not enough, so this requires additional equipment, anyway, the traditional armor is definitely not good, if you want to improve the survival rate of the soldiers, the combat ability must be started from somewhere else.

Not to mention that the Labst Empire has also developed tanks and other combat vehicles, that kind of weapon is not just a pile of armor and power, there are other magic technical support, such as enhancing magic resistance, countering magic attacks and other magic arrays, this is a frontal combat weapon, and there are many auxiliary magic technologies, such as the leyline oscillator that causes earthquakes......

This is also a combination of technology and magic, and the person who came up with this thing is also a genius, when Zheng Yichen knew about this thing, the Labust Empire had already put it into actual combat, which made the team of the Orb Empire fighting in the mountains suffer, and then it was Zheng Yichen's follow-up information, after the dark church came out with the witch power of the Earth Witch, the effect of this magic weapon that can cause a range of earthquakes is not so good.

But this thing is still quite active on the battlefield, as long as a well-trained soldier drives a chariot loaded with a leyline oscillator, he can spark all the way and lightning to give the enemy's troops a bloody lesson, of course, this operation is like driving a self-detonating truck, if the enemy does not have the power of the Earth Witch, it is invincible, if there is, the power of the Earth Witch forcibly suppresses the land of the riot, this thing is not of much use.

But this kind of witch power will not appear in all places, the Labst Empire has also developed a series of other magic weapons, and only one of them affects the earth, some are from the Snow Mountain Research Institute, and some are directly from the Labst Empire's weapon research base, so well, there is progress only when there is war, Zheng Yichen thinks these magic guide technology products are good, and he is ready to do the current things to understand, and learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses to make it his own.

Now let's focus on those targets, Zheng Yichen doesn't want too many, only one is enough, this matter can't be overdone, lest the dark church find out something, Irene's research that others don't know, let the dark church know about this research, even if the success rate is extremely low, they will inevitably study more in this regard, Zheng Yichen doesn't want to give the dark church a chance to touch this possibility.

"War...... Really, tsk!" Walking in a city that was in ruins because of the war, Zheng Yichen looked at the dry bones at his feet, and pouted slightly, this place is quite good, after the dead die, it will be lost with time, dust will return to dust, buried in real silence, and some places will not be peaceful when they die, those places have basically been concerned by cultists, and a large number of corpses have been sacrificed.

As for cleaning up the corpses? During the war, some people would do this, but there were many places affected, and there were not many such people, specifically there were too many places that needed to be cleaned up, and if there were not enough people, they had to choose to give up, so compared to those places polluted by cultists, this place was relatively lucky, although it was affected by the war, but the corpses here have turned into dry bones, and the cultists after that will not be interested in this place.

As for the situation where there are more dead people and some mutations, hawkers, not all places are special, including this place, there are no special circumstances here, and there are no hidden dark element veins underground, the possibility of abnormal changes is basically zero, a black crow hovers in the sky, Zheng Yichen came to this place It was this bird that brought him here.

Look at the traces of this place again, it is obviously deserted, but this bird still came to this place, undoubtedly found that this place has some special circumstances, and attracted it, even if there is no special situation, there is also a target for Zheng Yichen here, so let's find it first......

The crows in the sky kept circling, as if they couldn't be located, Zheng Yichen immediately contacted Annie, and Annie looked at the picture he sent and explained: "It's blocked by something, and it still locates this place under the premise of shielding, what you find should not be an artificial witch, but an awakened witch or an existence close to an awakened witch, and it may also have multiple targets." ”

"So I'm lucky, right?"

"That's right. ”

"Understood, then I'll prepare first. "Since you have met a big fish, you can't act according to the original idea, Zheng Yichen transferred some things from the underground base, and by the way, he launched a shielding enchantment, which is specially used to disconnect the network, everyone didn't know much about the operation mechanism of the magic network before, so it was not easy to do the operation of disconnecting the network, but after the initial way of shielding the network was studied, there were more other ways immediately.

Zheng Yichen used a better way here, after unfolding a shielding enchantment, he specially extracted some mixed power of ice elements and fire elements from the laboratory that studied the curse of the other world to arrange a powerful isolation enchantment, as for the follow-up energy consumption, this is a small problem, directly with this alchemy puppet as the core, it is enough to extract the elemental pool of the underground base as long-range support, and even the magic power in the demon soldier summoning book does not need to be consumed.

Will all this preparation hurt anything by mistake, Zheng Yichen doesn't care much, those who can study the power of witches are basically not ordinary people, if they are injured by mistake, they will be injured by mistake, and then apologize, if they are not injured by mistake, Zheng Yichen will not be polite, after shielding this abandoned city, Zheng Yichen immediately began to explore in a big way.

Hidden in a research workshop beneath the abandoned city, Cohen looked at some of the cultivation tanks in front of him, the kind of magic technology that brought extra progress to the world, making it easy for ordinary people to manipulate magic, although it was only possible to do so on the basis of 'programming' carried out by machines and real spellcasters, but Cohen had to admit that this kind of development did have a lot of potential.

He is a deputy to the staff, in the system of magic technology is a scientist engaged in technical research, the pursuit of the essence of the existence of things, and the study of technology, many times not a person can complete, even if a genius is indispensable, but no matter how genius exists, it is impossible to concentrate all the inspiration, and the base of research in this area is large, then you can continue to summarize all kinds of inspiration, and get a major breakthrough in a certain field.

This is the same as magic research, but the minimum requirement for magic research is to be able to become a spellcaster, and becoming a spellcaster requires not only talent, but also the corresponding cost, although there is knowledge about magic ordinary people can also get, but the price to pay to get that knowledge is a lot of money, more than nine out of ten ordinary people do not have such conditions, and what can be learned conditionally is ordinary magic knowledge, and if you want to further improve, you also need to develop relationships such as connections.

Or maybe it's talent and being looked at.

The development of magic technology is to lower the threshold in technology, so that ordinary people can also participate, even if ordinary people have no magic, but the magic technology formed by the number one can use magic power, from the production of new things, or to get a higher breakthrough in a certain technology, the base of researchers is high, that can naturally easily drive more technological development, after all, there are always one or two special, or surprising ideas, and the existence of it realized.

Once a breakthrough in a certain technology is made, a large number of related derivative technologies will follow. Because of the soul gem, the leyline oscillator on the Labust Empire successfully introduced the power of the Holy Maiden when it shook the earth, and directly confronted the power of the witch, and the quality of the power over there may be a little worse, but the output of their magic machine is high!

With a large number of top-notch output brought by general magic power, with super power and witch power equal, in the use of magic technology power to fight against witch power, the Labst Empire has come to the forefront of everyone, so Cohen has never underestimated magic technology, and even actively learning this technology, and at the same time secretly sent some apprentices with clean foundations into the Snow Mountain Research Institute.

Even if there are some projects over there that need to sign a contract, ignoring the forces behind them to contribute, but that situation is not permanent, it is like before, the dragon tossed a little restriction, and immediately a group of people quit the group, Cohen seems that kind of action is simply stupid, even if it will be circled for five or six years, seven or eight years, so what? The Snow Mountain Research Institute has gathered a large number of new elites, and there is no potential, and there is no problem at all to study there for a few years.

Even a few years felt like a little too short.

So among the apprentices he arranged in the past, he said in advance, that he would treat himself as a free man over there, and develop well to master the new magic technology, ten years is not much, twenty years is a lot, magic technology is a new technology, although relying on the background of magic started quickly, but there is still a lot of room for research and development in the future, so don't think about any quick success.

Even if we look at the speed of the progress of magic technology now, but this aspect will not maintain such efficiency forever, at the same time, there will be a long precipitation period at a certain stage in the future, they should be a free person to study, and when that precipitation period appears, just find a way to leave the Snow Mountain Research Institute, and the rest? Cohen doesn't expect them to be spies to steal anything, it's better to grow up first, and come back later to assist him.

The current research institute is built by combining some existing magic technology, there are many dark churches here to pull over, and professionals who take the route of magic technology Cohen is not very good at magic technology, although he is also actively studying, but it is impossible to produce results immediately, but even if it is the part he is studying now, it can already allow him to conduct some important research in this place.

The study of the leyline oscillator, because the Labust Empire has mastered this technology, can use this magic weapon wantonly, and it is impossible for the Orb Empire to abuse the witch power, after all, the Templar Church is fine, which leads to the fact that even if the Obst Empire gets relevant support, there is no way to suppress the magic technology used by the Labust Empire, on the contrary, they rely on the dangerous weapon of the leyline oscillator to bring the Orb Empire to their rhythm.

Although the Dark Church and the Orb Empire each have their own ideas, but now the Orb Empire not only can't have an accident, but also has to be strong enough, the declining Orb Empire is not good for the Dark Church, let's put it this way, the Dark Church is now associated with the Obb Empire, although the Templar Church is not involved with any empire, but the Sato Empire took the initiative to come over, not to mention the Labust Empire, although the dragon does not have the huge power of the Templar Church and the Dark Church.

But he brought changes to the Labust Empire, once the Aub Empire declined, the Dark Church would be able to say that the current special situation was kicked out alone, and there would be no goal for them to unite, and if there was no suitable joint goal to balance the situation, what awaited the Dark Church would be a run on all sides.

The Dark Church has made some artificial witches with the magic power of the Earth Witch, there are not many of them, they have only been active on the initial battlefield, warning the Labst Empire not to go too far, there are also countermeasures here, but the Labst Empire has fundamentally ignored this.

They said that they would take countermeasures casually, and the Orb Empire dared to invest a large amount of it in the power of artificial witches, the same as conventional witch power? The Orb Empire and the Dark Church used artificial witch technology, but they were able to fight against it with soul gems, although the power of soul gems had a long cultivation cycle, but the Labst Empire matched it with magic technology, which greatly shortened this cycle.

In addition, as long as the technology is improved, the energy output can be further increased, then the power of the weapon can be easily improved, and more importantly, once the technology has a breakthrough, it means that the weapon in this area can be comprehensively updated, so that all places invested in this weapon can be raised to a standard level, so the role of investing in conventional witch power at this time is not very large......

They invested in combat units with witch power, and the Labst Empire increased the number of weapons, as well as those special forces with more top-notch equipment, and the Orbst Empire wanted to start with magic, but after doing so, they gave up, first of all, the makers were not something they could influence, and then they underestimated the heritage of the Labst Empire, and raised the price to buy universal magic? That is, to make the Labst Empire profitable.

The competition of spellcasters?The Labst Empire has not fallen behind in this development, the progress of magic technology needs the help of spellcasters, at least at this stage, spellcasters are indispensable, so when spellcasters assist in the development of magic technology, they can also get additional boost inspiration, and the casters on the Labst Empire's side are not bad.

So from a comprehensive point of view, if the Orb Empire wants to recover some of its disadvantages, it still has to pull back in science and technology, although technology burns money, but the return is fast, the Labust Empire can burn money to pull the situation back at a critical time, and the Orb Empire has no place to burn money.

The Orb Empire needs weapons of the same level or even beyond the Labust Empire, so there is a situation where Cohen is on the scene, and they are also researching weapons similar to the leyline oscillator, and he is mainly here to integrate the part of the witch's power into this weapon, so as to directly explode the weapons of the Labst Empire in terms of performance.

Even if it can't be exploded, it can be surpassed in terms of performance, and the magic energy invested here can be doubled according to the bonus of the witch's power, and the Labust Empire will have additional investment if it wants to consume, and the war burns money, but they can find a way to make the enemy burn money faster, so they have an additional advantage.

The Labst Empire has a technical blockade of their magic weapons, and the wreckage that can be snatched from the battlefield can still be studied, even if it is not complete, but increasing investment can also make up for it from other aspects, even if it can't keep up with the technical level of the Labst Empire in the short term, it is enough to be able to use it normally.

In general, if you can't really surpass it at this stage, you can use the witch power to level the insufficient part, and continue to improve this technology after actual combat, a period of backwardness does not mean that you will always be behind, the advantage of the Orb Empire and the Dark Church is that they can wantonly create artificial witches, and the Dark Church has stored a large number of witch powers of different attributes, relying on the witch power as the center to develop the magic technology related to the witch power.

If the dragon hadn't made the Soul Gem and changed the situation of the witch's power, so that the Templar could only turn a blind eye to the 'regular' use of the witch's power, and it would be difficult to eradicate it completely, then they could also use this convenience to develop and use new powerful weapons.

The progress is going well, and it won't be long before the new weapons developed will be able to be put into the battlefield......

"What's going on?" Cohen asked with a frown as he watched a member of the security guard hurrying over, his status was the highest even though he was here to assist in research.

"Our contact with the headquarters has been cut off, and we have been blocked!"

“...... All the connections?" Cohen frowned.

"Yes. ”

He didn't hesitate to put down all the research in his hand, and even left the laboratory without sorting out the research materials, losing some important research materials would make him feel distressed, but he paid more attention to his safety!
