Chapter 973: Tinder Grows
Seven days had passed since the first battle of the Earth Elemental Plane, where the old and new generations alternated. According to the speed at which the primordial fire transforms the machine, I am afraid that most of these more than 10,000 elemental creatures are still waiting.
But in fact, there are very few elemental creatures that have not yet been modified. They all looked with envy at the various adaptation trainings carried out by their companions who had been transformed first, in order to familiarize themselves with their new bodies.
For the time being, no one has expressed dissatisfaction with the modified robot body. If you really want to talk about the voice of complaining, that is, a group of pocket-sized little guys, who have been bragging all day long about how to accept the transformation in a complete state, today they are also leader-level robots.
But just listen to these words. Those who know the details will know that these little guys who like to talk nonsense are all surrendered without fighting on the frontal battlefield and with a small injury. But no one is going to expose them, anyway, everyone knows it, and they won't really be dissatisfied with the holder of the tinder, the magician from the Mazeland, because of those big words.
The reason why the renovation progress can be accelerated is that the difficulties encountered at the beginning were overcome without realizing the obstacles of carrying out multiple renovation work at once.
Originally, using fire to transform multiple elemental creatures at once would pollute each other's souls. This is the main reason why the speed of transformation cannot be increased.
But Tinder, or the growing artifact that contains the will of all robots, seems to understand its own shortcomings. In the process of Tinder's continuous transformation of the robot, it is also transforming itself, and changes have occurred that Lin is not clear.
During one of the transformations, a new Boss-level robot proposed to give him several of his former companions to transform the Tinder at the same time. Of course, the previous experience of defeat was used as a warning to the other party, but the leader was quite stubborn, and said that he was confident that he would not have the original shortcomings.
With this full of confidence in the mystery, Lin certainly didn't want to hit the other party. And for that insistence, Lin thought of the unreasonableness of this idealist world, and planned to try again. If it can be done, it won't save a lot of time.
Since it's just a try, of course, it's impossible to get on the number of people in a platoon in one go. Instead, let the two elemental creatures with relatively less serious damage first, and at the same time carry out the transformation of the fire. If it is really so unfortunate and an accident happens again, the souls of these two elemental creatures with strong elf core conditions will not be too seriously polluted by each other, and the aftermath will be relatively simple.
Unexpectedly, the process went quite smoothly, and there was no contamination of souls with each other. Two ordinary robots, you are you, I am me, and there is no abnormality. So when Lin carried out the transformation in the next batch, he tried to increase the number of people who received the fire transformation at the same time.
First, three, four, and then more in turn, and observing the pattern. And why it didn't work in the first place, but the reason why it can be now, and what is the difference between the fire itself and before.
In the end, Lin found a magic formation pattern on the complex exquisite orb that was not originally available. And it's not a pattern that extends out of the original magic formation on its own, it's a magic pattern with a new function that is related to the soul. Although he still didn't fully understand it, Lin still recorded this new magic formation first, and then studied it later when he had time.
With the first discovery, it is not so difficult to test the upper limit of the number of people who can be transformed at the same time. Of course, Lin will not go directly to human experiments to see how many people will be fried when they are transformed at one time. Instead, the data is measured from all sides to deduce the possible value of the limit.
In line with the principle of being careful and not making a big mistake, Lin would rather be slower than have problems in the process of transformation, which will hit the confidence of elemental creatures in transformation; Or spend a lot of effort to clean up the aftermath.
And all the transformation processes are not fixed in one place. In addition to the pocket-sized model, even the ordinary type of machine needs to be supplemented by external substances during the transformation process. So forest and elemental creatures and robots, like nomads, move to the next location when the mineral deposits of one area are almost plundered.
In addition to the adaptation training, some of the modified robots who are already familiar with the new body, or who are eager to carry out actual combat to verify their robots, several people are scattered in small groups and march in all directions. The target, of course, is elemental creatures that have not been modified.
Those creatures who lag behind will be their touchstones, and after defeat, they will be brought back to be transformed by Tinder and become their new companions. This also saves the trouble of having to make detours in order to collect elemental creatures that can be transformed by fire.
After all, there are quite a few settlements with fairly small populations. If the tens of thousands of troops could not be cleaned up by the way, it would be impossible to deliberately turn the direction for the sake of a few dozen people. At this time, a small army of partial divisions is quite useful. The reason why someone didn't do this in the first place was simply because there weren't enough people to support the division of troops at all.
Now there are more than 10,000 machine men, not to mention a bunch of small units to fight guerrillas; It's also easy to divide into groups and conquer in different directions. But there is only one tinder, which restricts the possibility of the rapid development of the robot human race.
And the sound of 'making a few more fires' only exists in elemental creatures that have not yet been transformed. When they transformed their life forms into members of the Mecha race, they understood that there would only be one core of the entire race, and that there should only be one.
If you make a few more fires, it will be like a declaration of dividing the ethnic group. It's like between the robot and the primitive elemental creatures, although no one says it explicitly, they understand that this route battle is already an endless situation. The war will not stop until one side is completely removed from the earth elemental plane. Whoever calls them competing for resources is the same thing.
This does not refer to foreign objects such as mineral deposits and substances, which are only used to improve the physical strength of elemental creatures. What the two major forces will compete for in the future is 'population'. If one side increases, the other will inevitably decrease. And in order to achieve the fire, the machine must continue to increase the number of companions. After all, they are the ones who get the most direct benefits from the achievement of the fire.
Whether there is an end to this road or not, in fact, even Lin can't see clearly.
I can't figure out that I've created an extremely aggressive race, and it's a high-tech kind...... Someone's mind has such thoughts coming up from time to time.
On this day, the place where the army was stationed was a bay.
The unique landscape of the earth element plane is the lava sea, with the same high tide, low tide, and waves crashing on the shore. On the other hand, the beach is not a good place to frolic around. Because the sea of the earth elemental plane will melt all the tangible matter into the low-temperature magma into it. At least Lin hadn't heard that there was any living thing in this sea, or that there were ships to sail on it.
The purpose of coming here is, of course, to transform the Serpent King and the elemental creatures attached to it. Because in addition to being dangerous, this sea is also the most abundant place in the earth elemental plane. If you just want to mine this place, you have to have some way, otherwise you will only make yourself a part of this sea.
