Xiling Empire

(I always feel that this month's monthly pass is not very powerful ... so please ask for another monthly pass. Comrades still have useless tickets to vote over. You ca n’t invest in real estate anyway, right? )

The city of angels is still very empty. Walking on those grand cloud bridges and open air squares feels like visiting the ruins. Alleria walks side by side with me and Sandora, and also mentions what she is facing Manpower dilemma.

"Only the standard apostles can undertake complex and delicate tasks, but they have too few manpower and the project progress has been greatly affected. We have produced a large number of elemental craftsmen to assist in the construction, but the amount of elemental creatures produced is uncertain. The nodes are so delicate and need flexible work. Now all commanders who are good at making magical creatures are drawing their souls to create smarter and more useful split bodies. There are already sixteen of them because of split souls. Commanders who were too frequent and severely schizophrenic were sent for maintenance. "

Aurelia used a very calm tone to talk about the current problems. The more I heard the more I felt cold sweat on my head. The optimism of the situation in the Celestial City is one aspect, and more importantly, the strong men on the mysterious side. How it works-As Bellavira said, the apostles on the mysterious side are extremely good at controlling their inner beings. They control their souls as ordinary as eating and drinking. I have never heard of anyone who can Cut your soul into seventeen and eighty sections and cultivate them in sections-are they earthworms?

Keke, this idea is too rude, just stop.

About splitting the soul. Since it may be necessary to explain here, the so-called segmentation of your soul into fragments is not really a cut of the invisible and intangible thing as a dough, but a virtual copy process. The soul is invisible and immaterial. It is neither material nor energy. It is a collection of information. A creature with a soul consists of two components in the spiritual level after its removal: memory. And the "algorithms" that process these memories, and the soul is actually the latter. If you compare a person to a computer, the soul is the operating system. It is a "formula" that deals with all your "knowledge" things. For example, when you face the word "drinking", some thought processes will immediately reach the conclusion of "voicing truth." Some thought processes immediately think of "disorder", then the latter has a YD soul ... well, this is a lame metaphor, and it does not meet the requirements, but basically this is the case, the soul determines What kind of conclusions can the same information produce in different individual spiritual worlds. Therefore, the soul can finally determine the "truth" of an individual. As long as the formula is certain, no matter what value is filled in it (memory or life experience, etc.), the same result will eventually be obtained (human external behavior, worldview, personality, and all character that can be expressed). And extracting the soul is to copy a part of this huge formula group-this small piece of copy is enough to allow a dead thing to obtain its own "worldview", and then it can build on this worldview. Slowly build a complete soul that truly belongs to you. It is absolutely harmful for the mother whose soul is extracted to repeat this operation many times.

why? Anyone who has used a computer knows. The contents of the C drive must not be disturbed ...

The apostles on the mysterious side are very good at controlling their souls. They know how to copy things from their system disk without causing various failures such as blue screen of death, but this does not mean that they have a stronger system disk. Every extraction of the soul will leave a large volume of operation logs in the "system disk". Too frequent extraction will cause these logs to be deleted too late and take a long time. People should be **** by Wuhuada and sent to the old cadre activity center ...

"Let those commanders who are too desperate to pay attention to their bodies and at least keep up with other emergencies. In addition, Bella Villa has organized a group of raven to support you, I bet she should put All the Ravens who have no missions have been summoned. You should have a lot less stress here, "I told Aurelia about the situation at Bellavila." The Ravens seem to be very good at fine work. They are free. It ’s okay to use the arcane micro-engraving imperial code on the nails, and you must be familiar with things like repairing the magic net. ”

Aurelia stopped in the air, and seemed to sigh gently: "This is really much easier. But using micro-engraved imperial code or something on the nails with arcane ... It's not the same as repairing the magic node. Forget it It does not matter."

Led by Aurelia, we came to a very lively place on the back of the Forgotten Garden ...

We all know that the Forgotten Garden is a group of buildings built on a floating land. I always thought that the Forgotten Garden was the buildings I saw, but I never expected that it actually consists of two parts, one of which is the upper city. One part is the mountain peak below-the floating land is inverted cone. If you reverse it, the lower part of the inverted cone land is of course a mountain peak. Before the Forgotten Garden was torn from the mother star, there was an inverted cone-shaped structure underneath it. This part was originally located in a large hollow underground. Now it sees the sky again and becomes the "Reflected Mountain". The strange mountain peak above and below was originally a spare factory. Now it has been renovated and is producing the Colossus of Gonda around the clock. Now that the standard apostle base of the mystery department is insufficient, and the population cannot be replenished by summoning a large number of puppet creatures, the Ganda Colossus and other magical soldiers that can be mass-produced are the most stable troop sources that Aurelia can find.

The gravity of this inverted mountain peak, so standing on the mountainside to see the Celestial City gives a weird sense of disobedience: as if the whole world had been turned upside down, without actually feeling the real head It's yourself.

In my opinion, the production process of the Colossus of Ganda is very novel. In those huge “factories” that have been hollowed out in mountains and buried deep in the mountains, there are large-scale open spaces, and rows of neat blue light **** are suspended in In the middle of the air, a small section of metal limbs of the Colossus of Ganda were "immersed" in each light sphere. A large number of stars gleam through the ball of light, imprinting complex runes on those metal rings. Whenever a piece of metal limb is processed in this way, it will fly out of the light ball and float to the end of a row of light balls. The rune platform is automatically assembled with other matching metal segments, and at the same time, new raw materials are also directly sent into the newly emptied light sphere through space transmission, and so on and on. Each of the Ganda statues can step down the rune platform and go to the next step to receive the infusion of artificial souls and initial mission settings. The construction of the Colossus of Gonda is not fast, at least during my inspection with Sandora. None of the Ganda Colossus stepped down the rune platform, which shows that this kind of magical giant that has several times the fighting power of ordinary empires can be regarded as an elite unit. No amount of Gonda Colossus made by Aurelia can fill the grass-roots soldiers. Problem of scarcity. In the final analysis, the problem of the standard apostle scarcity of the mysterious department is serious.

This "factory" of the Mystery Department is very different from the technology-side factory I have seen. Those wonderful floating light spheres make it difficult to connect with the production line, but despite the dazzling work methods, everything here still adheres to the efficient principle collectively pursued by the whole of the Hilling Empire. The appearance of an orderly production makes people believe that No one second is wasted here.

In the production "workshop" of the Colossus of Gonda, we also saw the elemental artisans mentioned by Aurelia, which are the most basic worker units on the mysterious side. They are a kind of looking at Aladdin's lamp god, and the upper body barely presents Out of the body, the lower body is a cloud of light blue elemental creatures, and it seems that the intelligence is similar to the group of self-discipline machines around Gaia. Fighting power ... probably not. Under the command of several Goodell Icebreakers, these element craftsmen are responsible for checking the running status of each light ball that is writing runes on the limb parts of the Colossus, and continuously repairing those that have stopped running due to various accidents and even The light sphere that burned the raw materials-it can be seen from this point that the condition of this already started factory is not very good.

"Fortunately, there are Goodell Elementals that Odysseus manufactured, and they can also perform some tasks that require flexibility. Although they are not as good as the higher creatures, they are at least smarter than Elemental Craftsmen," Aurelia said. Pointing to a Goodell icebreaker who is walking and dropping slag, "The only problem is that after so many years of degradation, these elemental creatures have been unable to maintain their own entities, except for the availability of their minds. Their own working ability is almost zero , And they dare not let them go to the workshop where the environment requires a level 3 or higher command, because ... "

"Because they dropped slag." I helplessly covered my forehead, watching the icebreaker not far away grind the big dagger again-I don't know if it was the broken ice that took us to see Odysseus. People, they look all the same.

"Well, I don't know if it's a hallucination," I suddenly found something, pointing at Aurelia's face, "you seem to have a higher resolution than before."

Everyone knows the shape of Aurelia. It is just a light and shadow that is not very clear. The whole body is shrouded in a layer of dense mist. Only the female form can be seen faintly, but now I suddenly find that I seem to distinguish Out of the other party's features, that layer of brightness did not know when it became thin, so I asked this question myself. Aurelia froze for a moment, but didn't understand what "higher resolution" meant at first, and then Sandora explained to her with a few words of smirk and the latter nodded: "Oh, it's just gradually It's just a recovery. You don't think that the original form of your subordinates is like this misty? "

My answer was honest: "... I really think so."

Alleria was always half-dead by what I came up with, and this time was no exception. She was speechless for a few seconds before explaining: "The Angel of Spirit is the form of Lord Alaya, that is normal. The subordinate's present appearance is not intentional, but there was a mistake in the process of waking up in the assembly hall ... Under the condition of unconsciousness, the form of the thought body was mistakenly regarded as his original appearance, and Forget what you look like. For energy creatures, the soul determines its appearance. Our appearance depends on what we think we should be. The new-born Spirit Angel is the same, and it usually takes a few months. Has his own unique face, so he can occasionally use the appearance to distinguish whether the energy body creature is a newborn. The subordinates got it wrong at the time, and now it is regained. But it takes time to slowly eliminate that mistake. The impact of that, um, has been very effective-can you see my features? "

Aurelia said, always in a calm and flat tone, she couldn't help but feel a little happy, but I suddenly thought of a very sad thing, so I nodded in tears, "Congratulations ... ... "

"... Your Majesty? What are you doing?"

Sandora waved Aurelia against my shoulder: "Don't ask anymore. Faceless and skinless is black history for Ajun ..."

I sadly think that my void form is still in a shameless state, and I have worked hard for so many years. The only progress was to get a nose on the top of the head. The second shape change was quite large and became like an awl. Who is nicknamed the Aladdin Lantern ... Well, yes, just like a silly X look of the element craftsman over there. After I knew Aurelia, I still said that I finally found a difficult friend who can balance myself psychologically. I never expected that people would improve the resolution so quickly ...

The kite angel Aurelia murmured unknownly, and led us to continue to visit the rest of the arsenal, but there was nothing beautiful in the other places, or in other words, it was completely beyond my understanding, so I mentioned another thing that really cared about me: "I heard Bella Villa, you found the information of that glow ring?"

Alleria nodded: "Yes. It's just too late to report back to you. The World Heart Circle that you retrieved from the North Icefield at the beginning, after inspection, we found that it is not only the host of the World Heart. A storage device that integrates a large amount of high-level armed technical information inside. It should be that Lord Reich had foreseen the end of the capital universe that was still unavoidable to be torn by shock waves. Therefore, the most important technical information is backed up in the heart of the world. We We are stepping up to sort out those materials, and have started to build the Star Pond and the Magic Energy Tower. But to create a high-level space battleship of the level of the glow ring, even with the highest efficiency of the empire, I am afraid ... "

"I know, Bella Villa has already talked to me about this once, and this can't be impatient."

"But we still have some finished products that you can look at in advance-a little small thing." Aurelia seemed to smile a little-I understood her momentary pause just as a smile. Then she took us to the second half of the Mo Neng Yi production plant, where there is another set of completely different production facilities.

A large rune array suspended in the air, and crystal sheets arranged in a symmetrical octagon are placed in a hall with a radius of about 50 meters. In the center of this group of mysterious facilities, a shape of more than 3 meters in height is suspended. Strange things like water drops.

"This is a test area. Here we are trying to restore the various industrial infrastructures that were not currently available in the Celestial City. However, what you are seeing now is the individual combat bay. Outside this set is a The assembly unit and other production facilities are tested in other rooms. This drop-like thing is the result of our days. "

Alleria pointed us to the drop-shaped object called the individual combat bay, and then clicked a few times on the crystal plate closest to her, and the eight crystal plates quickly sank to the ground. Then floated in front of us.

I curiously reached out and touched it, and found that it has a hard, cold, and smooth surface, but it is strange that although it has a silvery white layer that looks reflective and smooth, it does not reflect my shadow at all. , Even a little blurry image is not reflected, and its surface is an absolutely uniform gloss. This is obviously not the property that ordinary materials should have-it is not even very optically compatible. Up to now, these things on the mysterious side have given me an impression: everything in them is a bit out of common sense, and you can always find more or less violations in them that are not compatible with the current worldview. wonderful.

"It looks much smaller than a single fighter. Is the longest axis only three meters?" I knocked on the shell of the water drop, and the latter made a crisp sound. "Soldiers are participating in space battles inside?"

"No, maybe it's not the same as you think ..." Aurelia reached out and touched the surface of the water drop, and then a wonderful scene appeared: the latter began to soften, twist, and land on the ground like melted butter, and then its The volume began to shrink abnormally, and slowly re-solidified and bulged from a large pool of liquid state. This process can not help but think of those slimes that often appear in the game and are responsible for showing the life path to the warriors-then this product It really became a slime.

After a few seconds of change, the three-meter-high hard water drop turned into a half-human-thin, slime-like creature that looked like a jelly, and the latter kept sending out gurgles. Voice, it seems to pay tribute to Sandora and me, and then the form continues to change, first becoming the appearance of Odysseus, then becoming my appearance, and then becoming a girl we have never seen However, in the end, this "Slime" turned into a puddle of jelly, as if exhausted, dangling up and down there as if breathing heavily.

I was stunned by the grotesque scene in front of me.

"The individual combat bay is a transformation process. Its essence is a set of rune devices that can change the physical form. Soldiers are not 'driving' in it, but are directly integrated with the rune group in the combat bay. The combat bay can only be used by such elemental creatures nicknamed arcane beans, because their bodies can be decomposed, and they can be fused with everything that has magical reactions without hindrance ~ www.mtlnovel. com ~ You can imagine this little 'pilot' as a liquid, so it can flow in the blood vessels filled with arcane energy in the individual combat cabin. When the combat state is lifted, the combat cabin will be absorbed into the body by its symbiotic soldiers , Stored in the form of rune arrays, like this. "Aurelia said, bending over to the" Arcane Douding "that was crawling around (in fact, I really want to call it Slim, (Although this thing is definitely more powerful than Slime)) He turned over and exposed a large shiny beautiful rune under the "belly" of the latter. After careful observation, I found out that these runes were on the other side. in vivo , But due to the "Arcane Douding" stomach is completely transparent to see so clearly.

"One of the important reasons for the small size of the individual combat bay is that it does not carry any conventional weapons-it has artillery, missile launchers, and space-thunderbolt deployment devices, but it does not. It's actually a magnifying device that can be used to amplify the power of its symbiote, so it's actually a thing ... "

Aurelia paused, seeming to feel quite indescribable, and finally uttered a few words: "It is a combat suit ..."

I looked at the "Arcane Douding" which has begun to simulate myself as a clear Chinese pastoral dog. I feel ...

The mysterious side is so amazing ...
