Chapter 1183 Research
When Abel walked into the gate, the scene in front of him made him stunned.
This is a huge cave. The walls, floor and top of the cave have been trimmed very flat, and it looks like a huge room.
The height of the cave is more than 40 meters, and the width is a full kilometer. At this distance, in order to ensure that the cave will not collapse, there are many magic circle patterns densely covered on the mountain wall.
Although the size of this cave is already very astonishing, but compared with the cave, what is even more surprising is the twenty huge steel puppets standing in the cave.
Abel has seen too many steel puppets, ranging from the ancient steel puppets that Frankenstein used on his body that were the size of ordinary people, to the small war puppets he used to save his life, to the ten-meter puppets he encountered. Tall large golem.
But all the puppets I saw before were nothing compared to the puppets in front of me.
The steel puppets in front of him are each twenty meters high, the height is not the key, the key lies in the material of these puppets.
If other people came here, they would only marvel at the size of these steel puppets, but he is a master alchemist and a master blacksmith. When it comes to understanding materials, almost no one in this world can surpass him.
And he is still very familiar with the materials used by the twenty huge steel puppets. These are the materials used by war fortresses, the materials of ancient war machines.
In other words, these twenty huge steel puppets should be war puppets left over from ancient times, and in terms of their height, they should be used exclusively for frontal battles.
Think about the war weapons that can fight head-on on the battlefield in ancient times, what a terrible war machine it would be.
"Master Bennett, these twenty ancient steel puppets are the most powerful war machines of our dwarves. Unfortunately, when they participated in the battle with the demons from the sky, each of the ancient steel puppets was more or less damaged. Although most of the damage can be repaired by consuming top-level magic stones, there are still some damages that cannot be repaired!" The dwarf king Gunther looked at these steel puppets with enthusiastic eyes, and said in a regretful tone.
"Your Majesty Gunther, I don't have much research on the ancient steel golem!" Abel also looked at the steel golem, shaking his head and said to the dwarf king Gunther.
"Master Bennett, over the years, the alchemists and blacksmiths of our dwarves have been researching the ancient steel golem without interruption. Although it is impossible to reproduce the ancient steel golem, we have found the possibility of repairing it!" Dwarf Wang Gang Ser explained with a smile.
Said that the dwarf king Gunther made a gift,
Invite Abel to approach the ancient golem.
"Among the twenty ancient steel puppets, only three are still capable of fighting, two can only move, and the remaining fifteen have completely lost their ability to move. We have found the cause of the damage!" Gunther the Dwarf King pointed An ancient steel puppet in front of him said.
"Where is the damage?" Abel asked curiously.
"In fact, when we got these ancient steel puppets, we found that the spirits in them were all damaged, but it is for this reason that we can study them. We use trained manipulators to replace the role of spirits, although other The combat power cannot be compared with that of ancient times, but it can also meet the requirements of combat.
Back then, in order to be able to use these ancient steel puppets, we added a manual operation system to the internal main control system, but it was this system that partially lost the main control system due to our changes during the battle. Without proper protection, the ancient steel puppets that are damaged today are all damaged by the main control system, and the repair requires the help of an alchemist! "The dwarf king Gunther didn't hide anything, he said everything he could say.
Naturally, these are top secrets among the dwarves. It can be said that the existence of twenty ancient steel puppets should be considered by everyone who has any thoughts about the dwarves.
There are only three ancient steel puppets left with combat power, which almost makes the role of the ancient steel puppets greatly weakened.
You must know that the scariest thing about the ancient steel puppets is the terrifying scene that sweeps away everything when twenty ancient steel puppets charge at the same time.
Hearing what the dwarf king Gunther said, Abel naturally knew where the ancient steel puppet was damaged.
If the ancient war weapons still have spirits inside, it would be almost impossible to study them.
The spirit controls this weapon. When no energy is provided, the ancient war weapon is completely closed, and it cannot be studied at all.
And once the energy is provided, the ancient war weapon will be controlled by the spirit. Before obtaining the authority of the spirit, the ancient war weapon is a waste product.
And the dwarves were lucky to get twenty ancient steel puppets, all of which were damaged spiritually. This gave the dwarves the opportunity to study them and rely on the technology of the dwarves to control them.
In Abel's mind, it is estimated that these ancient steel puppets must have suffered from the same attack in the same war and their spirits were all damaged. Otherwise, the twenty ancient steel puppets had the same problem.
However, the level of the dwarves has transformed the ancient steel puppet, and the gap between its technology and the ancient technology is revealed in the battle after the transformation.
The transformation of the main control system has greatly reduced the defense of the main control system.
As far as Abel knows, the fatal part of his war fortress is the main control system, which is completely made of special alchemy materials, and it is also the only material in all war fortresses that cannot be recovered through energy.
Once there is damage, the entire war fortress will lose power and lose its ability to move.
This is the case with the ancient steel puppet in front of him, but Abel does not have much research on ancient war weapons, because he is not willing and has no time to tear down a war fortress for research.
Although his alchemy level has soared all the way to the highest alchemy master in the entire continent, he can only be regarded as taking advantage of the dwarves in metallurgical technology.
It was the last time he came to the dwarves to help the dwarves make the metallurgical materials for the main magic circle, and he had mastered the metallurgical technology only through the technology provided by the dwarves.
"Your Majesty Gunther, I can only give it a try, and I'm not sure!" He didn't reject the dwarf king Gunther, he was very interested in the thousands of years of research on the dwarves, and turned to the dwarf king Gunther.
"Haha, Master Bennett, as long as you agree!" Dwarf King Gunther heard Abel agreed, and responded with a big smile.
To be honest, his confidence in Abel is stronger than his own confidence in himself. Abel, the first alchemist to break through the alchemy master in thousands of years, if Abel can't repair it, then no one can repair it. It can be fixed.
At this moment, a dusty old dwarf jumped out of the ancient steel golem.
What attracted Abel's attention was the alchemical pattern breath in the dwarf's body. This dwarf was a half-step metallurgist, the kind that could break through just one step away.
This is also the metallurgist with the highest level of alchemy patterns that Abel has seen among the dwarves. Although it is said that the dwarves have a master metallurgist, even he can't believe that anyone can improve the alchemy pattern by relying on metallurgy alone. to master level.
You must know that advanced metallurgical materials are already very rare. Unlike advanced potion materials that can be continuously produced through planting, and even master potion materials can be planted in small quantities, every part of metallurgical materials used is less in this world.
Since the emergence of metallurgists, the dwarves have been mining metallurgical materials, most of which are middle and low-level metallurgical materials, and very few high-level metallurgical materials.
And the more it is mined, the less likely it will be for advanced metallurgical materials to appear in the future.
It can be said that a master metallurgist could still appear thousands of years ago, but now it is almost rare for a master metallurgist to be promoted.
"Hobson, come and meet Master Bennett!" the dwarf king Gunther called to the old dwarf.
"Master Bennett, the master of metallurgy and pharmacy!" Metallurgist Hobson looked at Abel with piercing eyes and said excitedly.
"Master Bennett, don't take offense, he's a little too excited!" Dwarf King Gunther glared at Hobson Metallurgist, and then apologized to Abel.
"It's okay, hello Hobson metallurgist!" Abel would not blame a metallurgist who forgot to salute when he saw him, he smiled and said slightly bowing.
"Master Bennett, I'm sorry, I lost my composure. When you came to Ironforge last time, I was retreating and studying. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to meet you. I didn't expect you to be a master alchemist when you came last time. Now You are already a master alchemist!" Alchemist Hobson calmed down and said a little excitedly.
"Hobson's research on the ancient steel golem is the most in-depth among our dwarves, and he spends almost all his time on it!" Dwarf King Gunther introduced.
"Hobson Metallurgist, can you tell me about the situation of the ancient steel golem?" Abel turned to Hobson Metallurgist after hearing the introduction from the dwarf king Gunther.
"Master Bennett, the ancient steel puppets have been studied by our dwarves for many generations. In fact, many results have been researched long ago. Among the various puppets you see today, this technology is used! "The metallurgist Hobson clapped the ancient steel puppet beside him and explained.
Abel couldn't help paying attention. It turned out that the puppet technology of the entire dwarf clan was derived from this ancient steel puppet.
"In fact, our grasp of the ancient steel puppet is only superficial. Its most fundamental technology cannot be replicated at our current level. Take this material as an example. According to our research, we guess that this material is very likely to be made of It is made of the bones of powerful creatures plus some materials whose ingredients we don’t know, but we have never been able to master this ratio, in fact, even if we master it, we can’t imitate it!” Hobson metallurgist continued.
"Why can't it be imitated?" Abel couldn't help asking.
He is also very curious about these materials, and he has long wanted to study them, but the most important thing for him now is to cultivate, and he does not dare to devote too much time to them.
"According to the material analysis of the ancient steel golem, we found some bones in the ancient ruins. Those bones should be the raw materials for making this material, but do you know what kind of biological body the bones were obtained from?"
Metallurgist Hobson didn't ask Abel to answer, and he went on to say: "Those bones are at least the bones of legendary creatures. Now where do we go to find the bones of legendary creatures? Even if we encounter them, we will die!"
When Abel heard this, he couldn't help but think of his ancient stealth ship, which was specially used for entering the ocean for reconnaissance in ancient times.
He has always wondered why such a stealth ship was built in ancient times. You must know that wars are usually on land.
Hearing what Hobson metallurgist said now, he thought of a possibility. In ancient times, the entire ocean was the place where the materials of ancient civilizations were provided. It is estimated that only the ocean can have a huge legendary sea beast.
Thinking about the size of these ancient war machines, the number of legendary-level bones required, if using legendary-level human-sized bones, it would be difficult to make all the legendary-level humans on the entire land. Twenty ancient steel puppets in front of him.
Not to mention that there are more war machines, such as his war fortresses, there are dozens of his war fortresses alone.
"Then what material is the main control material made of?" Abel asked again.
"I'm sorry, Master Bennett, we can't recognize the materials used in the master control materials, but it seems that we only need to use the ability of the alchemist to repair them, and there is no need to refine the materials again!" Metallurgist Hobson replied road.
"Take me to have a look!" Abel said with some confidence when he heard that it only needs to be repaired.
At this time, the dwarf king Gunther stood aside with a smile all the time, and did not intervene in their conversation. Hobson Metallurgist seemed to have forgotten about him, and directly led Abel up the ladder behind an ancient steel golem.
Behind the ancient steel golem, a huge steel frame supported the ancient steel golem, and they approached the height of the ancient steel golem through here.
"The deadly part of the ancient steel puppet is not in the head, but in the back!" Hobson metallurgist said when he brought Abel to the back of the ancient steel puppet.
He reached out and pressed the back of the ancient steel puppet twice, and then revealed the internal structure.
The first thing Abel saw was a flat plate with two cracks, carved with many fine lines.
And on the top of this plate, there is a magic circle control panel made of ordinary metallurgical materials. This modern technique is placed on ancient alchemical products, and it has a feeling of putting stones in a stone pile.
He knew that this was probably a modification for artificially manipulating the ancient steel golem, but he didn't know how long it took the dwarves to make this modification.
However, this modification did affect the main control panel. Once attacked, the additional magic circle control panel would naturally press against the main control panel, making it more vulnerable to damage.
But this kind of modification is inevitable. Without this kind of modification, this ancient steel puppet cannot be manipulated and cannot be put into battle.
