In the midsummer of 734 in the Aramanian calendar, more than a month has passed since the birth of the first robot transformed by fire, nearly two months. The number of robots has also increased to 1,977, which is about to break the 2,000 mark.

Such a growth rate is very ...... Slowly, compared to the entire horde of elemental creatures. This trouble was also something that Lin didn't expect at first.

Because the original settlement did not match the size of the new body, and it was impossible to return to the base in order to conquer others in the early stage, the mechizers abandoned the original settlement and devoted all their strength to the great cause of increasing their companions. The time is roughly distributed in this way, with an average of three days each time to move to the location of the next settlement, five minutes to fight or flex muscles, and another three days for Tinder transformation.

In other words, about half of the time is wasted on the road. Then the Tinder Transformer came one by one, and it was also quite inefficient. For the previous point, Lin also has no solution, which can be said to be a hard injury. You can't use flashing to help them get around. If you really do that, I'm afraid it won't take a few times to help, and the kind of poor worm that is polluted by alien energy and turned into evil gods will appear in the robot race.

As for the latter, there is also no good solution, and Lin thinks of some ways to save time.

It will not work to transform more than two people at the same time with tinder. Because in the process, the souls of the elemental creatures that are transformed at the same time will interfere with each other, intersect and merge, and become no longer pure. This kind of thing is a big taboo for elemental creatures, which is also the reason why they don't directly devour each other in their primitive growth methods. Now that you have become a robot, you have to avoid this kind of thing as well.

The only simultaneous transformation experiment, in order to clean up the aftermath, but someone died with a lot of brains. In the end, even Fen, a master of undead magic, and a genius who played with souls, jumped down to help, and only then did he re-separate the souls of the two elemental creatures and let them undergo the transformation of fire individually.

The time that should be saved is the time for the second and third transformation of each robot. Because after every actual battle, no matter whether they contribute or not, as long as they see any novel ideas on their side, there are always people who want to try it themselves. If you want to try it, you have to change yourself to that look or add new features, which requires Tinder to take action again.

Using the tinder is equivalent to doing a thorough scan of the whole body, a complete examination, and then giving the best plan according to the wishes of the person being transformed, which of course takes some time. Fortunately, no matter how serious the difficulty of choice is, no matter how long it drags on in the world of thinking, it is only a snap of a finger when it comes to reality. Even so, time cannot be saved when it comes to body modification and reorganization.

If it were to be transformed for the first time, it would be necessary to transform the elven core of the original elemental creature into a nuclear reactor, or even reorganize the structure of the whole body, all of which would not have been possible without the fire being the dominant one. However, most of the transformations after the second time are small changes, and they are not practical to use the fire as a big killer.

On the other hand, after being damaged, the robots have the same self-healing function as they did in the period of elemental creatures. The specific operation is to use magic shaping to 'restore' the parts of a specific part into the appearance that has just been transformed by the fire. Such an ability is good, but in the eyes of the people, it is a waste.

The waste here involves the existing energy system of the robot. One is the energy that the primordial elf core has converted, which they call the Origin Energy. The method of cultivation and accumulation is the same as that of the past elemental creatures, relying on the absorption of free pure energy to grow bit by bit, and relying on rest and sleep to restore the consumed parts.

Another new source of energy, of course, is the electricity output from nuclear reactors. Electricity is not only responsible for driving all the functions of the mechanical body of the machine, but also is the source of energy for the weapon system. It can be said that the daily life and combat of the machine mainly rely on electrical energy for supply. However, when it comes to using Magic Sculpting to repair itself, it consumes mainly Origin Energy, supplemented by electricity.

To put it simply, it means that part of technology consumes electricity, and part of magic consumes origin. The source accumulation and recovery are quite slow, and the electricity produced by the nuclear reactor can basically support the machine to run all year round, without any rest or forced into energy-saving mode.

It's so unscientific because no matter what the machine people say, they are magic-based creatures after all.

Moreover, compared with electric energy, electric energy has the cost of squandering, but it is necessary to take care of the use of original energy. That's why people think it's a waste to use the function of the source to solidify the body and continue to repair it.

To cancel such a feature, it is very simple. However, this requires other means of repairing the damaged body, and the wear and tear is low, and it can be used as a conventional means. Self-repair, which requires the use of the source, can be used as an unconventional last resort.

In order to help the robot to carry out some small modifications of the mechanical body, in order to help the robot do some repair work, in order to complete these two projects, the first specialized branch of the robot group appeared-the mechanic.

Compared to the newcomers who have at least five or more weapon systems on their bodies, the mechanics are more reserved. Basically, there is one long-range combat weapon and one melee weapon, and most of the functions and knowledge systems stored in the memory are used to repair and transform the robot.

The most important mechanic also has the ability to adjust the core program of the robotic, that is, to change the body structure solidified by the fire. Only in this way, when each machine uses the last resort to repair itself, will it not cover the subsequent active transformation and restore it to the appearance of the Tinder transformation.

In addition, the machinist's database will also be exchanged with the tinder on a regular basis to complement each other. It is a kind of data update to avoid the information stored in the tinder from being disconnected from the latest transformation progress of the machine.

In this way, the machine will no longer need fire for the second transformation; Repairing the damage can also reduce the consumption of the source. Let this group of reborn machines become machines that don't need rest in the real sense.

After the emergence of the specialized branch of the mechanic, the mechanics also found their own specialized direction according to their own interests and personalities, or the needs of the entire race. For example, the long-range specialization of MLRS, the specialization of multi-armed melee combat, the specialization of clairvoyance and concealment, the specialization of defense of the meat shield, and the specialization of communication command. It is difficult to describe all the directions.

Only a few boss-type robots still maintain their all-round form. This means that bosses don't choose a specific specialization direction, and they maintain a high level of proficiency in both ranged and melee combat. Comparing reconnaissance, defense, and speed alone, it may not be as good as those specialized robots, but it is also far above the average for outstanding robots.

In the face of the robot race that is gradually forming a system, the first challenge came faster than Lin imagined. The Elemental Lord Pablo has integrated the old forces, more than 10,000 of them, to exterminate this unknown new force.
