103-104 (Medium)
After settling the warriors gathered in the square, the time quickly reached dusk.
Summoning a tool-type non-combat puppet to use as a vehicle, the three of them set out from the mountain path to the north of Delos, and soon found themselves in front of a large rock face in the back mountain. There was apparently a building not so long ago, but it seems to have been destroyed by the rampaging light of death, and now all that remains are the crumbling pillars and mutilated quaint stone statues.
The puppet stopped moving, and Lori pulled out an oval metal object from her small bag and pressed it a few times at a certain place on the rock wall. I saw a soft pale blue flash suddenly come from the dilapidated building opposite, followed by a rumbling sound, and the rock formation actually separated from the center, revealing a huge cave.
"A lot of the buildings on the island have been destroyed, but luckily most of the important ruins are hidden underneath, and now we're going to visit the puppet manufacturing and repair base on Delos, which we'll call the Machine City. Oni said as she steered the puppet into the cave.
There was a long hallway topped by a row of tube-shaped lumines, and the three of them walked along the corridor when they soon heard the loud and noisy sound of machinery working in front of them. Immediately after that, a huge space in the belly of the mountain appeared in front of them.
There are two floors, the upper floor seems to be the production workshop, and the lower floor is the warehouse and maintenance office. As far as the eye could see, the room was filled with thick steam, and the floor was covered with oil and all kinds of debris. Many Athenian warriors were busy running around in it, and everywhere there were countless large and small gears that were spinning in a sharp whine, driving rows of complex machines to work continuously.
With each heavy knock, a large number of finished or semi-finished metal parts are constantly pouring out of the machine. It is immediately picked up by the fighters and passed on to the next processing step after a simple quality check.
On the other side, in a clearing in the center of the huge space, hundreds of steel supports were placed, half of which were docked with damaged air combat puppets. A large number of warriors are connecting and charging the puppets, unloading the destroyed parts of the body, and reassembling and welding the parts that have just been produced. Some of the puppets that had been badly damaged beyond repair were completely dismantled, and the parts that were still usable were removed and rebuilt.
The production base is bustling with activity, and although Pera is the center of the Alliance, she is not as busy as Athens when it comes to the magic industry. Cleo nodded and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Oni, are all your puppets produced here?"
Lori pursed her lips, seemingly unwilling to answer Cleo's question.
But she noticed that Elrens was also very interested in this, so Zuihou explained: "Of course not, you must know that each combat puppet is composed of nearly a thousand parts, and each part has a special production machine. There are a total of ten large production rooms in the belly of this mountain, and there are even more small ones, and this is only a maintenance room and a place to manufacture outer armor, brackets and other accessories, and the production of other more important main components such as magic cores, propulsion devices, lightning strike angles, magic cannons, and control systems is still somewhere else!"
After listening to Oni's words, Elrence and Cleo glanced at each other, they didn't expect that such a huge production base was hidden in this mountain, and it was really worth fighting hard for Delos before!
Then Princess Celestia asked, "How many battle puppets can be produced here in a year?"
"It depends on the situation~" Oni pouted, a little dissatisfied with the princess asking so many questions: "If it is a new model, it will be slower, and the old model will be faster." Prior to this, it was possible to build one small puppet per day at full production, while it generally took three days for a medium-sized puppet and five to ten days for a large puppet. In total, we can have more than 100 puppets of various types every year. ”
"So fast, so powerful!" Princess Celestia smacked her tongue when she heard this, at this rate of production, it would not take long for Delos to fully recover from the losses it had suffered in this war, and it could even be further strengthened.
However, little Lori shook her head: "But we lost a lot of soldiers in the war, and now we are very understaffed. Even if you replenish it right away, it will take some time to become proficient. I estimate that the production will drop dramatically in the future, maybe only half of what it used to be!"
Cleo nodded in annoyance, this is also a helpless thing, who would have thought that Melagramus would collude with the enemy country and let the Nicaeans cross the front line to attack Delos for a long time?
The three of them then visited the rest of the workshops, and after looking at it for a while, Ellens felt that he was not interested, so he asked Oni, "It's not interesting to see this, let's go somewhere else." I heard that you have set up a research institute specifically to study the magical relics of the old shijie, so take me to see it. ”
Little Lori winked at him with big cute eyes, and obediently agreed: "Okay, it just so happens that there is a tunnel here that leads directly to the research institute, let's go now." ”
With that, she led the two of them to set off again.
The puppets whizzed through the long tunnels, and after a while, they finally arrived at sunset in the middle of the island in the primeval forest. Elrens looked up and saw a huge castle of strange shape rising in the middle of the dense forest, which had now collapsed more than half of it, and on the surface only the first floor and foundation were unharmed.
The three of them quickly walked into the ruined hall of the castle, which was largely empty except for a mess of broken bricks, but each of the surrounding walls was carved with a complex set of star-shaped magic arrays.
Oni beckoned to the two, "Come on, let's stand at the intersection of the four magic arrays. ”
Both Elrence and Cleo knew it was a teleportation array, so they followed her in the middle of the hall. When little Lori began to chant the spell, the spell patterns of the magic array around her glowed softly, and then she only felt a flower in front of her, and the surrounding scene suddenly turned black
