Chapter Forty-Eight: Promotion to the Fourth Rank
Look at the blueprints of this steel hive.
Ron was still a little dissatisfied.
It's not that I'm not satisfied with the design of this steel hive, but I'm not satisfied with some of its features.
For example, the Steel Hive cannot be shaped.
Under the design of experts, this steel hive can only be said to be a steel building, not a mechanical building.
It would be even better if you add some deformation or functional mechanical structure.
Besides.
This steel hive is not good for defense and attack.
Missile silos are not unusable.
But there's no need to do that much.
After all, missiles are too slow, and the power of explosives is not very strong.
Really useful cannons, they didn't load much, only a dozen.
What is this firepower enough for?
There was a serious shortage of firepower.
The defense is the same as the crotch, and each hive diamond-shaped section is a thick defensive armor.
The armor plate is thick and looks good.
But that's not what he wants.
If you put these disadvantages aside, the rest is all about the advantages.
Whether it is the internal modular structure or the organization of the production workshop, it is well designed.
Ron didn't need a major overhaul.
A simple adjustment of the mechanical structure is all that is required.
After reading the drawings, Ron snapped his fingers.
Syllable!
The entire illusionary space was still again.
Then, based on the blueprint, he generated a one-to-one model of the steel hive base in the illusion space.
The next second.
This one-to-one model of a steel hive dissolves in a volley, turning into a pile of parts suspended in mid-air.
Ron looked at the parts and began to make changes to some of the structures.
Ninety percent of the missile silos were removed, and the vacant spaces were replaced with artillery.
Add a mechanical track, so that the independent space inside can be moved through the mechanical track, and can be spliced and combined at will.
With Ron's changes.
The steel hive base gradually becomes a mechanical hive base.
Although it seems to have changed just two words, it is completely different at the core.
When he had revised the overall design, he restored the mechanical honeycomb model.
The next second.
He snapped his fingers again.
With the restoration of the illusion space, many experts looked at Ron's revised mechanical hive base blueprint and began to find faults.
This time, Ron didn't leave.
Just because experts find fault doesn't mean it's necessarily wrong.
There are features that he needs that experts may not need.
After all, the needs are different.
But there are some structural problems in design, or functional problems, which he really does not have as many experts as these experts.
So, while they were looking for questions, Ron was listening.
Where it really needs to be modified, he will make it.
Where there is no need to change, he should not have heard.
That's it.
Half a month has passed in the time in the illusion space.
Ron finally perfected the blueprint of the mechanical hive base with the help of a group of experts.
It can't be said to be perfect.
But there are absolutely no functional defects.
The blueprints are done.
Ron dissolves the illusion space.
However, before disarming, he gave mental hints to all the experts.
When they wake up, they forget everything in the illusion space, just remember that they came here for a meeting, and then go back to their rooms to sleep.
in the office.
Ron picked up the phone and instructed the secretary to send the experts away when they woke up.
At the same time, he told the secretary that he was going to retreat again and not disturb him.
After explaining everything.
Ron returns to the Atlas.
Return to the main hall from the bottom of the pit.
The two women in the main hall were chatting in a corner.
"Entering from here, it's the assessment space for second-order architects."
Ron asked at the two of them.
"Yes, you've got a plan?" Philia asked, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Well, there shouldn't be a problem."
Ron wasn't 100% sure, but he was 80% sure.
"That's good, I wish you success."
"But how am I going to take you out?"
"It's simple, just take us out with storage equipment."
Ron froze.
Storage spaces are not allowed to carry living organisms.
His storage space is a metal furnace, where things can be stored, but they must be dead.
Are the two preparing to die and then be resurrected?
Before Ron could ask.
The two of them each took out their hole cards.
"Brother Ron, you must protect my seed, please."
After Xia finished speaking, her whole person emitted an emerald green light.
Then her whole person became a flower fairy, sublimated as the flowers bloomed.
When the flower is finished, only one seed remains.
Seeds are life?
No.
This thing can only be counted as an extraordinary material, and naturally it can be put in storage.
However, Ron didn't care about the seed that Thea had turned into for now, and turned his head to look at Philia.
He wondered what tricks the mage would play again.
As a result, the other party's operation is also very good.
With a fluctuation of transcendent power, Filia's entire being turned into an amethyst.
Grass!
If he hadn't been chatting with her just now, he would have thought that the amethyst statue in front of him was carved.
"There's a lot of means."
Ron pursed his lips, put away the amethyst statue and the green seed, and turned to walk into the assessment space.
It's still the same assessment space.
It's just that the strength of the monsters here has increased a lot, but this doesn't mean anything to him.
A wave of pain is felt.
Just clean up all the monsters in the entire assessment space.
"Let's get to work."
Ron's supernatural power belonging to the architect surges, and the armed defense base unfolds.
The ascension of an architect is simpler than that of a mechanic.
You don't need to build a house.
As long as you upgrade your own buildings, you can automatically advance.
It's the same as building blocks.
From the original one-story building to a two-story building, at this time it was naturally a second-order architect.
Ron took the extraordinary building materials that the monster had burst out and built them according to the drawings.
The extraordinary ability of an architect.
It is possible to absorb materials to transform the building.
As long as he integrates extraordinary materials into the building, and then uses extraordinary power to transform the building, he can easily get the main body right.
In addition to building the main body, he also smelts extraordinary materials into various mechanical parts, which are used to make mechanical equipment.
It's a bit of a hassle.
One, two, three......
Ron builds his own mechanical hive base in the assessment space alone.
Occasionally go back to Earth to rest, have a big meal by the way, and then come back to pick up where you go.
Originally, he thought that by building the mechanical hive base, he would be able to be promoted to a second-order architect.
Outcome.
He has only finished the main frame, built the internal energy core and production workshop, and has become a second-order architect.
It was a lot quicker than he expected.
If he completes the entire mechanical hive base, he should be able to reach the third order.
In the blink of an eye, it's another week.
I have been busy for almost half a month.
Ron had finally built the entire mechanical hive base.
At the same time.
His profession as an architect was also a third-order fulfillment.
At this moment, the extraordinary power in his body finally fluctuated.
The extraordinary power of the mechanic and the architect collided in his body.
It seemed to remind him to hurry up and advance to the fourth rank.
Ron wasn't in a hurry, though.
With a fluctuation in space, his figure disappeared into the assessment space.
This time he was not transferred to the main hall, but to another place.
A huge square.
However, the square is also dilapidated.
All around are the remains of buildings.
Even in the gray fog in the distance, he felt the breath of great life.
Obviously.
It was also a battlefield at one time.
But none of this had anything to do with him, and he wasn't going to explore.
It's good to miss it once.
Although the things he picked up were awesome, he couldn't use them.
So there's no need to run and take risks.
The transcendent power in the body surges.
The huge mechanical hive base with a height of 228 meters and 86 diamond-shaped armor sections was embodied in reality.
"What should my fourth-order profession be called?"
Ron sat in a chair in the command hall of the mechanical hive base, squinting and muttering.
It's come this far.
It is impossible for him to take any other path, so he can only go one way to the end.
It worked.
He fused the characteristics of the two professions of mechanic and architect to form a direct root.
When the time comes, he will be the patriarch of the opening school.
Failed.
It's done with the calf directly, and there's nothing to go on.
However, the odds of success are still high.
Because the buildings he built were a good match for the profession of a mechanic.
"Let's call it a mechanical builder."
Ron pondered for a while, and casually gave the name of the fourth-order profession.
Next, there is nothing to hesitate about.
Let's go straight up.
But there's one more thing to do before you get promoted.
He first took out the steam alloys, metal furnaces, and machine factories in his body.
Integrate these three extraordinary weapons into the mechanical hive base.
Then disarm all other transcendent weapons except for the taboos.
Including the blood flame on his hand, he lifted it.
In the end, he put the amethyst that Filia had turned into and the seed that Thea had turned into and put them in a forbidden space.
Do it all.
He closed his eyes.
Two extraordinary forces in the body rose at the same time.
With two transcendent forces pouring into the soul.
Soul sublimation begins.
