Throne of the Warlord

Chapter 97 Making Iron Golem
As a giant war beast, the rank of this giant war lizard is sixth rank, but this sixth rank and extraordinary sixth rank are not the same concept.

Because this giant lizard is a giant beast.

What are Behemoths?
Possess a body shape, strength, and vitality far exceeding those of the same level, but the method is single, and there is no extraordinary ability.

In other words, the supernatural ability of the giant war beast is its large size and strong vitality.

It is worth mentioning that the giant dragon is also a kind of giant beast species, a high-rank giant beast species, and its strength at the same level far exceeds that of the war monitor lizard.

One-on-one with this thing, it can't compete with normal superpowers, such as the snake-man swordsman Li Qing met before. His nimble body skills can easily kill this monitor lizard, but at most it is too thick and thick to kill.

Li Qing's Long Shou and Long Fa have the ability to kill it even without a supernatural attack.

After all, monitor lizards can't fly, and the two of them can fly in the air and breathe fire, or use spells.

Therefore, Li Qing is going to strengthen it.

After all, there is only one War Lizard, and this thing is not easy to make, and it is difficult to exert its strength without strengthening it.

But before that, he had to earn some dragon blood.

He now has 12 standard dragon bloodlines, but he doesn't think it's enough.

The giant beast species is different from other species. With such a large size, the demand for the blood of the giant dragon is much higher than that of humans, otherwise it will be difficult to completely transform.

Don't worry, anyway, now he can get 50 kobold corpses at a time, and earn 200 dragon bloodlines at a time, which is enough.

First release the giant lizard from the stone prison, and temporarily keep it in captivity on the second floor of the God's Realm Ranch, where it will live mixed with the dragon vein snake people living here, under his control, and a stone wall will be built in the middle of the ranch later , nothing will happen.

As for the 100-meter-long and wide stone prison where the monitor lizard was imprisoned before, he did not completely demolish it. He just removed three stone slabs and left a 30-meter-wide gate. This place can be used as its lair.

If there is no accident in the future, this place will always be regarded as a monitor lizard's lair.

After that, three cows, six pigs, and six sheep will be thrown every day as food for the monitor lizard, and occasionally other things will be thrown to improve the food. In the future, if you catch any ferocious wild beast trophies in the wild, you don’t need to decompose them, just throw them in for the monitor lizard When food.

This food is quite large, fortunately there is only one, if there are more than a few, I may not be able to support it.

After dealing with the monitor lizard, Li Qing returned to the tower of God's Domain to continue his previous research.

There is no way to transform monitor lizards yet. Although the 50 kobold corpses in the last round have been disassembled and used, the time is too short to apply for the next round of kobold corpses.

It just so happens that he also has something very interesting to do now, and that is the production of steel golems.

He is much more interested in this than in making rock golems. He has been very interested since he got started a few days ago.

The main reason is that this thing is too strong and has strong plasticity.

Its basic combat power is equivalent to Tier [-], and the Man of Steel is immune to almost all spell effects. It may be because of its bulkiness that it cannot deal with nimble opponents, even ordinary soldiers.

But when the number of these things increases, it will be a big killer on the battlefield.

A pile of pure solid steel golems more than five meters high formed a front and pushed flat, how do you block it?
It can be said that there are no golems of the same type, or war behemoths, or mage groups, and an army composed of steel golems is invincible.

The only problem that restricts the scale of this thing is that it is too expensive and too difficult to manufacture.

The cost of the largest amount of steel materials is not high. Iron ore exists in any plane. The question of how much is the reserve, as long as the plane is occupied, the first step is to exhaust the mining. Therefore, the price of steel in human civilization has not been very high. .

Crude iron is only 5000 yuan.

Refined iron is only 12000 yuan, which can be said to be really cheap.

And the biggest material cost of a steel golem is fine gold and mithril, if no other additional things are added.

If you want to further transform and add other abilities to the Iron Golem, then the expenditure will gradually increase.

Let’s talk about the most basic expenses right now. Building a steel golem requires at least 10 kilograms of fine gold, the strongest magic material used to strengthen the frame of the steel golem.

After all, although the steel golem is made of steel as a whole and is very strong in itself, steel is nothing to some Transcendent existences. It must be reinforced with fine gold to withstand the power of Transcendents or giant beasts.

Calculated according to the requirement of 120 million per kilogram of fine gold, that is 1200 million.

In addition, at least three kilograms of Mithril are required.

This precious magic material has a very strong magic-guiding function. When combined with steel, it can make some of the steel golem's steel structure full of magic-guiding properties, so that it is convenient to draw magic circles and runes inside.

After all, such a big and heavy thing is powered by magic, and the demand for mithril is high.

Based on the calculation that Mithril needs 350 million per kilogram, that is 1050 million.

And that's just the minimum standard.

If you want to make the golem stronger and stronger in combat, you have to increase the fine gold content.

At least get an ultra-sturdy adamantine weapon.

If you want to install more magic circles and combat systems, you have to add Mithril, which is basically unlimited.

Taken together, the cost of materials for a steel golem is about 2300 million after excluding the labor cost and mage technology cost.

If you want to strengthen, 5000 million or even hundreds of millions can't beat it.

"Grandma's!"

Li Qing bought 8000 million materials in one go before and thought it was quite a lot, but after looking at it, he only got three sets of materials that were not enough for four steel golems.

However, although this thing is expensive and troublesome to build, if one has the ability to manufacture it on a large scale, it can be quite profitable.

There are not many people who can make steel golems, at least they are archmages above the sixth level, which directly screens out a large part.

On this basis, talents in magic runes and magic circles are needed, which is another part of the screening.

After all, most mages are good at studying magic battles, but not very good at magic circles that are too complicated and time-consuming. Not all mages like to do this.

Therefore, the supply of finished steel golems in the market has always been in short supply, and the price is expensive. The price of a standard finished product exceeds 8000 million.

The 2300 million is only the cost of basic materials. Ordinary mages also need apprentices to help make the shape, and work that does not require technical content, which requires labor costs.

As well as the shooting cost of the archmage, and the cost of failure of some accessories, etc., the price of one set is not expensive at 8000 million.

8000 million is exchanged for an Extraordinary level combat power with thick skin and thick flesh that is difficult to use up. I believe any normal warlord is willing to change it, but it is difficult to get it most of the time.

Similarly, steel golems are also the main source of extraordinary combat power for many ordinary war lords.

After all, Tier [-] of the unit system is at the top, and Tier [-] is mostly all kinds of Warlock promotion cards. It is difficult to upgrade this thing, and it is easy to die in battle. How can a steel golem be so durable.

The so-called golems are handed down for three generations, and the golems are still alive.

So not to mention anything else, a whole batch of steel golems will come out in advance, and a golem squad will be combined with the rock golems to guard the house.

The first step in building a steel golem is to build the body, which requires the preparation of sufficient high-carbon refined steel. This is the best non-transcendent steel, and the best is all kinds of magic steel.

There are no other alloys. In this new era, there are no such things as various alloys. The rules do not allow it. The best and only possible alloy is high-carbon refined steel.

It is not impossible to use magic steel to make steel golems, but the cost is too high, and if the production is successful, then it is not a steel golem, but a higher-end golem.

To build a steel golem, a normal mage needs an apprentice or a blacksmith to make the golem body one by one first.

Next, the archmage embeds threads and draws runes and magic circles on the steel bodies.

It is worth mentioning that this embedding refers to the frame made of fine gold and the magic circle wiring line made of mithril.

The fine gold frame is just like the building burying steel bars and then pouring concrete. The fine gold frame is buried inside and plays a role in supporting the whole.

The wiring of the magic array made of mithril is more complicated, because the structure of the magic array needs to be drawn within the mithril structure, and then when the mithril structures in all structures are put together, the magic array inside can also be combined into one overall.

This is not something that ordinary archmages can do. Even if an archmage who specializes in this area makes one, it has to be scrapped many times before it can be completed.

This is the main reason why the production of Iron Golems is so difficult to increase, and also the main reason why they are so expensive.

After Li Qing thoroughly understood the materials of the whole set of steel golems, he began to try.

First of all, a standard golem frame was made out of steel. Without any new ideas, the standard height was five meters.

Then according to the size and structure of the golem, use ten kilograms of refined iron and gold strips to make a frame net, and then blend it into the steel golem.

Yes, it is to integrate.

In the palm space, hard steel is no different from sand and sand to him, he can do whatever he wants, directly embed the fine gold frame into the decomposed steel, and then synthesize it.

After the shape of the golem is made, the next step is to use Mithril as the control system.

First, three kilograms of mithril were pulled into tiny strands, about the thickness of a human hair, and then weaved into an ultra-complex magic net.

This is more complicated than using strokes, but the precision is not as high as that of the magic circle, as long as the lines of the runes do not overlap.

After all, this thing is buried in the golem, and the golem needs to withstand attacks. Sometimes it will bear a huge force and a heavy blow will cause the body to squeeze the grid and deform it. If the requirements are too strict, it will easily fail.

It's just a failure, and it's not easy to repair.

You can't disassemble the golem for overhaul every time, it's better to make a new one if you have this skill.

After finishing these, the next thing is to prepare the magic ink, and draw one or more sets of magic circles on this tiny mithril net.

At least one set of control system, if the level is high enough, you can add several sets of magic circles to increase the control method to make the golem more flexible.

Three kilograms of Mithril can not carry many magic circles. If you want to increase the power, it is very simple. Add Mithril to make the Mithril magic circle thicker, so that you can add more magic pattern circles.

If someone rich and powerful adds hundreds of kilograms of mithril to it, and each line is as thick as a steel bar, then it will be awesome.

To draw a complex magic circle on the three-dimensional mithril net, to be honest, it is definitely a rune master who can complete it. This is really not something ordinary people can do.

After all, there is no such thing as precision machinery in this era, all are handmade.

If it wasn't for cheating with the palm space, it would be impossible for Li Qing to make any golems before the sixth level.

He still has some points for his own talent.

But there is no if in the world, there is something.

I don't know how much material was wasted in the connection of constant attempts, constant failures, and constant restarts.

There is no way, this mithril net is stained with magic ink made with the blood of high-level monsters and mixed together, even if there is space in the palm, it is difficult to separate it.

Although the decomposition of the space in the palm is at the molecular level, this thing is not just ink, it also contains special magic factors.

Once it is contaminated and mixed, even if you use the palm space to cheat, you will just separate and discard the layer that is stained with magic ink on the surface of the mithril mesh, and then you have to add mithril to re-draw it again, which is very troublesome.

For every failure, a small amount of material is wasted.

At the beginning of the attempt, it was basically a failure, and the materials were just squandered.

It is also fortunate that it can be opened and hung up, and the loss is not much at one time. If it is replaced by other archmages, the loss at one time will be several million, and the cost will be high.

Of course, it is impossible for others to get started with the Mithril Net directly at the beginning. They all use barbed wire and low-quality magic ink to practice.

After going back and forth like this and retrying countless times, Li Qing finally completed the first one-step drawing in the palm space.

It can only be said that it is really cool to be able to cheat.

With the first success, the subsequent success rate soared.

After I became more proficient later, I basically returned to what it used to be-success every time.

Then, bury the successful mithril net into the golem components, and then splice the components together.

Then, take out a piece of pure soul essence to make the soul core of consciousness and put it into the central control system of the steel golem, and then use the golem activation technique to revive the core.

Then use the iron golem experience infusion technique to infuse the golem with a series of standard knowledge.

At this time, the golem will automatically activate all the magic circles in the body, communicate with other bodies with the central core as the core, and activate all the magic circles.

A normal steel golem is divided into six parts: head, body, arms and legs. When the control circle is activated, the joints of these parts will generate super strong magnetic attraction, so that the limbs of the combined steel golem There is a stream of transparent magic energy connecting the joints, which can not only connect the body as one, but also maximize the flexibility of the golem.

This connection system will not be affected by most spells, and a knife can pass through the energy flow between the joints, but it will not interrupt the connection between the bodies.

When everything was completed, the first steel golem in Li Qing's life had been successfully manufactured, which took a total of twelve days.

And the total cost is about 4000 million, which is too much Mithril wasted.

However, it will be easier after the beginning. Even now, I am not very sure, but at least with experience, the success rate will decrease one by one.

Then, it's time to make weapons.
