Chapter 1511 Competition of Technology

Annie's behavior of biting her fingers is like an ordinary person biting her nails. It can't be said to be a good habit, but it won't bring any extra impact on herself. What was bitten off was a piece of meat, although what Annie bit off was also A piece of meat, but it was insignificant. The place where she bit herself quickly returned to its original state. As for the bitten off finger, she had molded it into a creature like a pet bird.

A small piece of finger itself has flesh and bones, which is a very convenient material for Annie to use. Zheng Yichen, the bird, looks more and more familiar: "Why is it a crow?"

"Because this thing is relatively common, let's use it." Annie casually stuffed the shaped crow to Zheng Yichen. This thing has the magical power of an earth witch, but it is not a creature with the power of a witch. That part of the magical power is just an inducement. Combined with the crow's special sense of smell, he can find the artificial witch with the earth witch.

According to the information collected by Zheng Yichen, there are not many earth witches. This type of witches has strong defense, but their aggressiveness seems to be average. They are not as destructive and lethal as other dead witches. Witches are more used for detection and capture, or for building destruction.

The Rabster Empire and the Orb Empire are more and more experienced, and the witch power is very strong, but they have the extra convenience brought by magic technology and soul gems, so they can also use the witch power, let alone It is said that the saintly power of the Holy Church can also be integrated with the soul gem. Relying on this advantage, the Rabster Empire has pulled out a group of special forces with the saintly power, using unique magic armor, plus Sufficient magic energy support has become the main force against those witches on the battlefield.

Of course, this part of the combat power is basically to deal with the power of the witch. The magic weapons of the conventional power Labst Empire have the upper hand, but the power of the witch on the side of the Orb Empire has developed stronger, so head-on confrontation dominates. Despite its advantages, it is difficult to push back. The accumulation of magic technology in the magic system has exploded with huge potential, but this potential has already been said before, and it is not that exaggerated.

It is such a situation that the Labest Empire can try more equipment made by magic technology. The best test target is those witch powers. After all, in terms of conventional combat power, magic guns, cannons Such weapons can already crush ordinary troops, as long as they want to be archers, normal soldiers need more or less talent to be archers, and factors such as hit rate are also very variable. big.

Just use firearms, not to mention the ordinary archers whose rate of fire is full, and the range is farther. While the two armies are handing over the mages to restrain each other, ordinary soldiers draw their guns and shoot in one round. After a few hundred meters, let the enemy's The army is wiped out in one wave, but it is not impossible to fight if the distance is shortened.

How did the firearms and weapons on Earth develop? Zheng Yichen is not a fan of military affairs, but the firearms in the other world give priority to the development of range. As long as the range is strong enough, everything else is easy to talk about, and then the power is large enough. After all, spellcasters on the battlefield must first restrain each other, and no one has asked spellcasters not to go to the battlefield.

The spellcasters on the battlefield are basically releasing magic on one side and countering the magic on the other, and then counterattack in a loop. It looks like a turn-based system, but in fact they have to do this, otherwise ordinary soldiers don’t want to show anything It worked, a wave of pushing the spellcaster and a few high-level spells directly wiped out the soldiers...

The bullets fired by guns are not magic, so if the caster wants to counteract it, he can only add a shield to the soldiers. It is okay to add the shield to some soldiers, but if it is added to all the soldiers, then the caster should not fight against the opponent. The spellcaster is gone, and the magic power is not enough, so this requires additional equipment. Anyway, the traditional armor is definitely not enough. If you want to improve the survival rate of soldiers, you need to start from other places for combat ability.

Not to mention that the Rabster Empire has also developed tanks and other chariots. That kind of weapon is not just a random pile of armor and power, but also other magical technical support, such as enhancing magic resistance, counteracting The blessing of the magic array such as magic attack is here. This is a frontal combat weapon. There are also many auxiliary magic technologies, such as the earth vein oscillator that triggers earthquakes...

This is also a product of the combination of technology and magic. The person who made this thing is also a genius. When Zheng Yichen knew about this thing, the Rabster Empire had already put it into actual combat, and it ate up the troops of the Orb Empire fighting in the mountains. After suffering, Zheng Yichen followed up with the information that Zheng Yichen learned. After the Dark Church has assembled the witch power of the Earth Witch, the effect of this magic weapon that can cause a range of earthquakes is not so good.

But this thing is still quite active on the battlefield. As long as a well-trained soldier drives a chariot equipped with a leyline oscillator, he can teach the enemy's troops a bloody lesson with sparks and lightning all the way. Of course, this operation is like It's like driving a self-explosive truck. If the enemy doesn't have the power of the earth witch, it will be invincible. If there is, the power of the earth witch will forcefully suppress the rioting land, and this thing will not be of much use.

But this kind of witch power will not appear in all places. The Labest Empire has also developed a series of other magical weapons, and only one of them affects the earth. Some come from the Snow Mountain Research Institute, and some directly come from La The weapon research base of the Bust Empire, so to speak, only with war can progress be made. Zheng Yichen thinks these products of magical technology are good.

Now let’s look for those targets specifically. Zheng Yichen doesn’t need too many, just one is enough, and this matter can’t be overdone, lest something be discovered by the dark church. No one else knows about Yilin’s research. Yes, let the Dark Church know about this research, even if the success rate is extremely low, they will definitely do more research on this aspect, Zheng Yichen does not want to give the Dark Church a chance to touch this possibility.

"War... Really, tsk!" Walking in a city that was in ruins due to the war, Zheng Yichen looked at the dry bones at his feet, and pouted slightly. This place is still good. As time goes by, ashes return to ashes, and true silence is buried, and some places will not be peaceful even after death. Those places have basically attracted the attention of cultists, and a large number of corpses have been sacrificed.

As for cleaning up the corpse? Some people will do this during the war, but there are too many places affected, and there are not many such people. Specifically, there are too many places that need to be cleaned up. If there are not enough people, then you can only choose to give up. So compared to those places polluted by cultists, this place is considered lucky. Although it was affected by the war, the corpses here have turned into dry bones, and the cultists after that will not be interested in this place.

As for the situation where there are more dead people and some abnormalities occur, well, not all places are special, including this place, there is no special situation here, and there are no hidden dark element veins underground. The possibility is basically zero, a black crow is circling in the sky, and Zheng Yichen came to this place because this bird brought him here.

Looking at the traces of this place again, it is obviously deserted, but this bird still came to this place, no doubt it discovered that there are some special circumstances in this place, and attracted it here, even if there is no special situation, There is also Zheng Yichen's goal here, so let's look for it first...

The crows in the sky kept circling, as if they couldn't locate them. Zheng Yichen immediately contacted Annie, and Annie looked at the picture he sent and explained: "It was blocked by something. On the premise of blocking, let it still Once you locate this place, what you find should not be a man-made witch, but an awakened witch or something close to an awakened witch, or there may be multiple targets."

"So I'm lucky?"

"That's right."

"Understood, then I'll prepare first." Since I met a big fish, I can't act according to my original idea. Zheng Yichen transferred some things from the underground base, and by the way, developed a shielding enchantment, which is specially used to In the past, everyone didn't know much about the operation mechanism of the magic network, so it was difficult to do the operation of disconnecting the network. However, after the initial research on the method of shielding the network, there were more other methods immediately.

Zheng Yichen used a better method here. After deploying a shielding barrier, he specially selected some ice and fire elements from the laboratory for researching alien curses to form a powerful isolation barrier. As for the subsequent energy consumption, this is a small problem. It is enough to directly use this alchemy puppet as the core, and use the element pool of the underground base as a long-range support. It does not even need to consume the magic power in the magic soldier's summoning book.

Zheng Yichen doesn't care much about whether all these preparations will cause accidental injury. Basically, it is not ordinary people who can study the power of a witch. If it is an accidental injury, it will be an accidental injury. Afterwards, I will apologize. If there is no accidental injury, Zheng Yichen will not be polite. , After shielding this abandoned city, Zheng Yichen immediately began to explore boldly.

Hidden in a research workshop below the abandoned city, Cohen looked at some training tanks in front of him. Things like magic technology have brought additional progress to this world, allowing ordinary people to easily operate magic, although relying on This can only be done on the basis of 'programming' performed by machines and real spellcasters, but Cohen has to admit that this kind of development is indeed very potential.

He is a deputy, using the magic technology system, he is a scientist engaged in technology research, the kind of existence that pursues the essence of things, and research on technology is often not something that can be done by one person, even if a genius who leads a team must Indispensable, but no matter how talented a genius exists, it is impossible to gather all the inspirations, and if the base of research in this field is large, then it is possible to continuously gather various inspirations and obtain major achievements in a certain field. breakthrough.

This is the same as magic research, but the minimum requirement for magic research is to be able to become a spellcaster, and becoming a spellcaster requires not only talent, but also a corresponding cost. The price to pay for knowledge is a lot of money. More than 99% of ordinary people do not have such conditions. Those who have the conditions can learn ordinary magic knowledge. If you want to improve further, you need to develop contacts and the like relation.

Or because of his outstanding talent, he was spotted by others.

The development of magic technology has lowered the technical threshold, allowing ordinary people to participate, even if ordinary people do not have any magic power, but the first formed magic technology can use magic power to create new things from production , or get a higher breakthrough in a certain technology, and the base number of researchers is high, so it can easily drive more technological development. After all, when there are more people, there will always be one or two special, or surprising ideas. And the existence that realized it.

Once a certain technology is broken through, it will be followed by a large number of related derivative technologies. Because of the Soul Gem, the leyline oscillator of the Rabster Empire successfully introduced the power of the saint when shaking the earth, and directly confronted the power of the witch. The quality of the power there may be worse. But the output of their magical machine is high!

With the top output brought by a large amount of general-purpose magic power, with super power equal to the Witch Power, the Labst Empire has come to the forefront of everyone in the use of magic technology to fight against the Witch Power, so Cohen started from I have never underestimated the magical technology, and even I am actively learning this technology, and at the same time secretly sent some apprentices with clean backgrounds to the Snow Mountain Research Institute.

Even if there are some projects over there that need to sign a contract, ignoring the forces behind them to work and contribute, but that situation is not permanent, it is like before, the dragon tossed some restrictions, and a group of people will leave the group immediately, Cohen sees That kind of behavior is simply stupid, even if it will be locked up for five or six years, seven or eight years, so what? The Xueshan Research Institute has gathered a large number of elites from the new faction. If there is no potential, it will be no problem to study there for a few years.

Even a few years seemed short to Cohen.

So among the apprentices he arranged in the past, he had agreed in advance that he would treat himself as a free man there, develop well and master the new magic technology. Ten years is not much time, and twenty years is not much time. Magic technology is a new technology. Although it started quickly relying on the background of magic, there is still a lot of room for research and development in the future, so don't think about it.

Even though the progress of magic technology is very fast now, this aspect will not maintain such efficiency forever. At the same time as the rapid progress, there will be a long precipitation period in the future. Those who are free to go to further studies, wait until the precipitation period occurs, and find a way to leave the Xueshan Research Institute. Others? Cohen didn't expect them to be able to steal anything as spies. It's better to grow up first, and then come back to assist him.

The current research institute is built by combining some existing magic technology. There are many professionals who are recruited by the dark church and take the magic technology route. Cohen is not very good at magic technology. It is impossible to produce results immediately, but even the part he is studying now has allowed him to conduct some important research in this place.

The research on the leyline oscillator, because the Labest Empire has mastered this technology, can use this magical weapon wantonly, and the Orb Empire can't abuse the power of the witch, after all, the Church of the Templar is still good, This led to the fact that even if the Orb Empire received relevant support, they could not suppress the magic technology used by the Rabster Empire. On the contrary, they relied on the dangerous weapon of the leyline oscillator to send the Orb Empire to into their rhythm.

Although the Dark Church and the Orb Empire have their own ideas, but now the Orb Empire is not only incapable of accidents, but also in a strong enough state. The declining Orb Empire is not good for the Dark Church. Let’s put it this way, the Dark Church is now and The Orb Empire is connected. Although the Church of the Holy Church has not been associated with any empire, the Empire of Sato has taken the initiative to join in, let alone the Empire of Labust. Although the dragon does not have the Church of the Holy Church And the huge power of the dark church.

But he brought changes to the Rabster Empire. Once the Orb Empire declines, the Dark Church will be kicked out of this special situation alone, and there will be no goal for them to unite. Without a suitable joint goal to balance the situation, what awaits the dark church is a run on all sides.

The Dark Church has produced some artificial witches with the magic power of the Earth Witch. There are not many of them. They have only been active on the initial battlefield. They warn the Rabster Empire not to go too far, and there are also countermeasures here. Come on, but the Rabster Empire basically ignored this point.

They said that they would counterattack casually, so that the Orb Empire dared to invest a large amount of it in man-made witch power, just like regular witch power? The Orb Empire and the Church of Darkness use the technology of man-made witches, but there are soul gems that can fight against them. Although the power of the soul gems has a long period of training, the Labust Empire has matched them with magic technology, which has a great impact. This cycle is shortened.

In addition, magic technology, as long as the technology is improved, the energy output can be further increased, then the power of the weapon can be easily improved, and more importantly, once the technology has a breakthrough, it means that the weapon in this area can be fully updated , so that all the places where this weapon is invested can be raised to a standard height, so the effect of investing in conventional witch power at this time is not very big...

They invested in combat units with the power of witches. The Labest Empire increased the number of weapons and special forces with more top-notch equipment. The Orb Empire wanted to start with magic power, but they did so After a while, I gave up. First of all, the producers were not something they could influence, and then they underestimated the background of the Rabster Empire, and raised the price to buy General Magic? That is to make money for the Rabst empire.

Spellcaster competition? The Rabster Empire has not lagged behind in this aspect of development. The progress of magic technology requires the help of spellcasters. At least at this stage, spellcasters are indispensable. Therefore, when spellcasters assist in the development of magic technology, they can also get extra Ascension inspiration, the spellcasters on the Labust Empire side are not bad.

So from a comprehensive point of view, if the Orb Empire wants to recover some disadvantages, it still needs to bring back technology. Although technology burns money, it returns quickly. Pull it back, and the Orb Empire has nowhere to burn money.

The Orb Empire needs weapons of the same level or even higher than that of the Rabster Empire, so there is a situation where Cohen is on the scene. They are also researching weapons similar to the leyline oscillator. Here he mainly uses the witch The power part is integrated into this weapon, so that it directly explodes the most weapons of the Rabster Empire in terms of performance.

Even if it can't be exploded, it is possible to surpass it in terms of performance. The magical energy invested here can double the effect according to the bonus of the witch's power. The Labest Empire wants to consume it. Additional investment is required. War burns money. If you can find a way to make the enemy burn money faster, then they will have an extra advantage.

The Labust Empire has a technical blockade on their magical weapons, but the wreckage looted from the battlefield can still be researched, even if it is not complete, but increasing investment can make up for it in other ways, even in the short term It can't keep up with the technical level of the Rabster Empire, but it is enough to be able to use it normally.

Generally speaking, if you can't really surpass at this stage, use the power of the witch to level up the insufficient part, and continue to improve the technology in this area after actual combat. Being behind for a while does not mean falling behind forever. The advantages of the Orb Empire and the Dark Church are They can create artificial witches at will, and the dark church has stored a large number of witch powers of different attributes, relying on witch power as the center to develop magic technology related to witch power.

Didn't that dragon create the soul gem and change the situation of the Witch Power, so that the Templar Church can only turn a blind eye to the "conventional" use of the Witch Power, and it is difficult to completely eliminate it? Then they You can also use this convenience to develop and use new powerful weapons.

The current progress is fairly smooth, and it won't be long before the new weapons developed can be put into the battlefield...

"What's going on?" Cohen watched a security member rushing over, frowning and asked, although he was here to conduct auxiliary research, but his status was the highest.

"Our contact with the headquarters was interrupted, it was blocked!"

"...all the connections?" Cohen frowned.

"yes."

He put down all the research in his hands without hesitation, and even left the laboratory without sorting out the research materials. Losing some important research materials would make him feel distressed, but he values ​​his own safety more!
