More than a month ago, the fifth-order witch doctors returned from low earth orbit......

First, six witch doctors were separated, and three new high-level beasts were captured in a short period of time to make up for the reduction in increments caused by the three that were to be missing in the predetermined schedule.

When the hunt is complete, the Witch Doctors enter a 22-in-1 state and begin to reconstruct the mimics.....

The intelligence center of the headquarters was tragically 'killed' at this moment, and the space where it was originally located now entered a huge ball of cellular flesh.

Immediately, a large amount of matter and nutrients were injected into it through the pipes, and the large balls began to 'proliferate' visibly with the naked eye.....

As mentioned earlier, the fifth-order witch doctors under the 22-in-1 have been able to increase the accuracy of the mimic to 1 nanometer;

What they are doing at this time is to shape 'themselves' into an intelligent center with powerful computing power according to this precision and in the way of constructing an intelligent brain.

So, with the support of such thoughts, a super-large cube with a side length of 300 meters appeared in the underground space where the original 'Hub No. 1' was located.......

After being endowed with the algorithm, the new brain also lived up to expectations in the trial operation process, and it was also natural and unexpected, with a skyrocketing demand for nutrients.

But this thing doesn't need to be turned on at full power all the time, and most of its structures can remain dormant when not needed, and only run the part of the computing power needed, so as to avoid excessive and huge nutrient consumption.

After the construction of the structure, the assignment of the totem algorithm, and the trial operation, the witch doctors gradually explored the 'spaceship and supply' based on it and combined with the continuous attempts to lift off.

In this process, the structure of the 'rocket-type' mimic gradually changed to the mode of 'aircraft', and the working efficiency of the 'turbocharge-ramjet-liquid fuel propulsion' three-stage engine was gradually optimized.

At the same time, the ratio between the supply load and its own consumption has been further optimized, so that the ability to transport materials, which is already like a cheat under the 'anti-gravity effect', has been strengthened again.

But that wasn't enough, the Witch Doctors later transformed the control needs of the entire escape process into a 'fool mode' that can be done with the help of the brain, thus completely expanding the possibilities for piloting and allowing warriors to operate.

Of course, once an unexpected situation occurs during the mission, the warrior group, and even the low-level witch doctors, actually do not have the ability to regulate in time;

Therefore, for safety reasons, the more dangerous and complex 'surface-low orbit supply vehicle' will be piloted by the fourth-order witch doctors;

The 'weakened version of the mimicry' they possess will retain the ability to quickly repair in an emergency, and if the situation is extremely critical, they can also complete self-protection by 'seizing' part of the fuselage and forcibly separating from the main body;

And when the brain has collected enough data and accumulated enough crisis response 'fool packs', the piloting of this kind of aircraft can be handed over to low-level witch doctors and even warriors to execute.

In addition, the 'Low Orbit to Far Orbit (in fact, Low Earth Orbit) Relay Supply Spacecraft will be developed in 750 orbit after the altitude of the 'Far Orbit' is determined, so as to obtain more detailed advance data;

Although this section runs in an approximate vacuum environment throughout the whole process, it is actually much better than the former in terms of 'difficulty of handling' and 'fuel consumption';

As a result, it is expected that the third-order witch doctor will be in charge of the control in advance, and in a shorter period of time, it will be handed over to the second-order witch doctor (most of the first-order are students), or the warriors will be in charge.

Subsequently, the witch doctors generated 20 'surface-near-ground supply vehicles' at one time in the combined state, and transferred 15 of them to the Central Colonel, and five of them were handed over to the fourth-order witch doctors for 'test drives'.

~~~~~~

At this point, the work on the ground should have been over, and it was almost time for the witch doctors to 'return' to orbit;

However, the previous experience in the combined state, when manufacturing intelligent brains and near-earth vehicles, reminded them that it was time to upgrade the finishing capabilities of the headquarters again;

As a result, the witch doctors entered a 22-in-1 state again..... This time, what they want to build is not a smart brain, not a spaceship, or a bells and whistles fighting machine, but a 'totem industrial machine with extreme precision'.

The steps are basically the same as those in the previous manufacturing of the brain, from the functional design, to the design of the control algorithm, and then to the combination with the central brain.

After that, it is to 'eat' the resources and energy to construct the mimic mother machine, and then give it a manipulation algorithm.

Finally, the witch doctor cells were detached and connected to the central brain for trial operation.....

This operation was carried out 9 times before and after, so that the headquarters obtained a total of 36 machine machines of the same level, although their machining accuracy is a grade lower than that of the manufacturer (22 in 1), but it is definitely not to be underestimated;

With these mother machines and the corresponding intelligent brain control methods, the headquarters has the ability to manufacture high-precision equipment such as small intelligent brains and spaceship engines, which require the integration of a huge amount of totems in a very small space.

In this way, the fifth-order witch doctors' work on the ground came to an end for the time being, and they moved their gaze to orbits farther than the sky......

~~~~~~~

In the following three lift-offs, the witch doctors successfully sent the construction materials, high-level magical beasts, and medium-term energy replenishment that were scheduled to be taken away into the sky, and made two more 'cage ships' carrying high-level magical beasts and 9 'temporary spaceships' loaded with supplies near the original spaceship at 750 kilometers of orbit;

Subsequently, the '750 spaceship' was overhauled according to the plan, the new spacecraft has a real weight of only 50,000 tons, plus a 30,000-ton high-grade monster, as well as space to obtain fuel and oxidizer for its own use from the spilled atmosphere, and the rest has more than 100,000 tons of material reserve capacity, which is enough to undertake the task of 'supply transit' at this stage;

In addition, the spacecraft will be assisted in the control of the upgraded algorithm brain, which will be resident with third- and fourth-order witch doctors, and in the future, it is planned to reside low-level witch doctors and warriors, as well as a space laboratory of the 'non-inside observation' type;

But now, there are only five third-order witch doctors and three fourth-order witch doctors who will accompany the spacecraft, and they will become the piloting and maintenance units of the spaceship, and undertake the test drive mission of the 'near-earth-far supply spaceship', of course, after the fifth-order witch doctors have made sufficient preliminary attempts......

After the '750 spaceship', the witch doctors agreed on the location of the 'Deep Space Laboratory', the supply interval, and calculated the relatively appropriate structural scheme based on the calculation of the actual situation;

In the discussion, the orbital altitude was determined to be '5,000 km', which is not 'deep' enough, but after all, it is only the beginning, and everything has a slow development process, right?

In terms of shape, the 5000 spaceship is designed to be roughly spherical, unlike the 750 spaceship with a round head and long cylinder......

Looking at the dense content of the plan, the witch doctors imagined the day when they, and even the entire population, would be able to break free from the constraints of their home planet at will, and at the same time began the initial 'voyage temptation'......

For safety and other reasons, two or three small-scale scheduled orbital round-trips were carried out in advance, and only after it was confirmed that there was no problem, did the large-scale relocation of the material begin.

As a result, the 11 ships that had been docked next to the '750' left for the first time......

They arrived at their intended position in a short period of time and began the ship's fusion directly in orbit;

With the passage of time, what finally appeared in front of me was a spherical 'artificial celestial body' with a diameter of more than 300 meters.....

These will be two pure research spaceships, with only fifth-order witch doctors resident in the short term, and two 50,000-ton high-level demonic beasts (tens of meters long) imprisoned respectively, and as their own technical strength continues to increase, there will eventually be laboratories and production rooms filled with them.

But that's in the future, so let's do our research in a down-to-earth way......

However, before officially starting the study of the rules, the witch doctors temporarily focused their attention on related aspects in line with the idea of 'learning more about the gods', and in a short period of time gained far more knowledge than before......

~~~~~~~

The relationship between the Near Gods and the civilizations under their command seems to complement each other, and the reason why the Ascenders behind the three northern powers and the rest of the second-class forces have become Near Gods is that in addition to their possible innate strength, there should be some other aspects in common;

In this regard, the witch doctors have recently come to the judgment that the civilized races under their command have achieved a certain balance in numbers and qualifications......

In terms of quantity, there are about 4 million mouths of the Laiyin species, nearly 9 million mouths of the fanged species, and about 1.5 million mouths of the Mengqi species.

On the other hand, the rest of the higher creatures ...... For example, high-level demonic beasts, the population under their command is indeed extremely powerful, but it is at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers;

For example, the rapid bird family has a total of more than 10,000 in scale, and the rest are only more than 100,000, and it is not uncommon to see thousands or hundreds of less;

Either because of lack of wisdom, or because of insufficient numbers, or because of the lack of opportunities, in short, these high-level demonic beasts failed to form a civilization or a 'faith', so that their 'kings' could not be fed back, and became the 'brute beasts' in the mouths of the gods.

However, it seems that the number of populations is not as large as possible, otherwise those low-level races on the continent, which often number tens of millions, or even more than 100 million, should be more powerful, rather than being seriously injured or lurking like they are now.

According to the observation of the interior, combined with the previous analysis of the qualifications of the three strong races, the Republic has also made preliminary inferences about the differences;

That is, the qualifications for the formation of civilized populations, and the strength of believers transformed from qualifications, should play an extremely crucial role in 'feeding' the gods of the near.

And the most intuitive embodiment of this judgment is the scale of the 'flames' reflected in the inner side of the altars dotted on the continent......

A top three city with only a population of tens of thousands of core races, the scale of the inner altar feedback is even far greater than that of a city of lower races with a population of millions of 'people'.

On the mainland earlier, the Mengqiu King City and the Fangs King City, known as the 'Double Pearls', were the laurels here, but more than ten years ago, there was an additional New King City, thus forming a sense of 'three-legged standing';

And this situation remained until not so long ago, until the change in the East......

In the eastern part of the mainland, the second-class forces, who had not seen any follow-up movements for a long time, finally established the 'Eastern Alliance', which had been difficult to give birth to for a long time;

Soon after, a multi-ethnic city with a large core of 'humans' sprung up and in a very short time formed a feedback that could not be ignored inside, and a somewhat loose but large enough 'flame' to rival the other three cities rose in the plains of the eastern part of the continent.......

The establishment of the 'Eastern Confederate State' is still the exclusive information of the Republic for the time being, and it is at the level of 'secret' in the Northern Continent, and the Eastern Powers seem to have strictly blocked the westward flow of information out of fear of interfering when their foothold is not stable;

And the situation of the 'gathering of flames' is known only to the witch doctors on the track.

For this, the headquarters originally did not have a 'bad' idea, until the news of 'Mengqiu Nangu' came from the north......

~~~~~~~~~~

The asylum is aware of the 'sense of information' in the fluctuations around it, but its judgment of the actual situation is slightly skewed by the limitations of its inherent cognition.

'Unknown Monsters, the population is less than 100..... It is a flying creature with the ability to move in a wide area; ’

'The lair is in the extreme south, and there may still be their leader-level beastmasters and cubs.....

Does this mean that there may be vast expanses of land further south of the continental wall? Otherwise, it will not be able to support the survival of a Warcraft population.....

Are there any other civilized species? It's just that it was blocked by the wall of the continent before, so no news has been reported.....

'Perhaps, Ashley should send a warrior to see...'

It's a fun way to communicate, and it seems like I can do it. ’

The Patron with this in mind conveyed his will to the two Priest Chiefs to send their own or foreign warriors to explore the south......

As a powerful higher being, as a person who has already touched the rules, the accumulation and ability of the Protector should not be underestimated, and after being "inspired" by the observations, it immediately analyzed the principle of its action, and successfully explored the specific application methods of "detection" and "communication".

At the same time, the many altars in the Two Kingdoms, which served as intermediaries for the downward transmission of its own power, also received blessings in this regard;

As a result, the shamans had the ability to use the altar as a hub for remote messaging and reconnaissance over a wider area......

The emergence of this ability directly poses a threat to the wolves that still rage in the south of the country, and the wide-area reconnaissance circle formed between many cities has mastered their range of movement in a very short time, and is ready to send the most elite altar guards to carry out scalpel-like strikes.

~~~~~~~~~

Although the use of electromagnetic means of communication was extremely cautious, the Republic received several interrelated messages in a fairly short period of time through the audio wires that had spread all over the continent;

First, it was observed that the core altar of the Two Kings City had caused serious interference to its own electromagnetic waves for a certain period of time;

Second, just a few days later, the information monitoring equipment at high altitude received a regular signal of unknown significance.

Third, not long ago, the Menglu Kingdom mastered the 'black box version' of the altar instant communication and detection technology;

Fourth, the precise encirclement and suppression of wolves is about to begin;

Fifth, the Twin Kings sent elite forces to explore the Continental Wall and beyond.

These five pieces of news had a considerable impact on the council, and although the witch doctors had imagined that the gods might be extremely sensitive to the relevant rules, they did not expect that the process from 'discovery' to 'mastery' could be so swift;

In addition, through this incident, the witch doctors have also clarified another thing......

That is, the strange spells of the altar and the shaman seem to have been transferred from the power of the 'near gods'.

Of course, the information and preliminary discussion results of the relevant parties were also sent to the fifth-order witch doctor group that was being built in low earth orbit at this time........
