Chapter 178 A New Era of Magic Crystal Weapons

"Can you use magic?" we asked Lucky and his friends as soon as we entered their room.

"Haha, master, come and see, I just learned it, it turns out this thing is so simple!" Luck rushed to us and showed it off like a child who has just learned a skill and is eager to find an adult to offer a treasure. He stretched out a paw and flicked each other with two nails. With a crackling sound, a ball of fire suddenly appeared on the tip of Lucky's talon. Moreover, it was not the kind that disappeared in a flash, but as if there was fuel provided. It maintains a constant burning state as it burns, but in fact, apart from the lucky claws, there is only air left there.

"How did you do it?" We all looked at Lucky's paws in surprise. Although all of us dragons can control electromagnetic induction, the problem is that flames do not fall within the scope of electromagnetic induction. We can indeed use electric current to start a fire, but maintaining such a flame seems a bit incredible.

"Hehe, this is what Fayana just taught me." Lucky said, and suddenly he saw the color of the flame in his hand beginning to turn blue, and the frequency of the flame itself shaking also began to gradually slow down, and finally it condensed into A frozen flame. "Although the flame just now was taught by Fayana, I found that we are actually more suitable for using magic than the creatures in their world."

"ah?"

We heard the wrong statement about luck, but the image of Nuwa soon appeared on the scene to explain our doubts.

"Nuwa, could it be that you were the one who created the luck with magic?"

Nuwa nodded firmly and said: "Actually, we just didn't understand this technical system before. After studying it, I found that magic is actually not magical at all. It is a new application method of energy technology. Just like Just like you can see light with your eyes, all creatures that can use magic in Fayana's world have a special organ that we don't have. This organ can sense the existence of magic, thereby helping these creatures understand and master it. Magic, and we can’t even sense it, so naturally we can’t understand it.”

"Then how did you find out that we can also use magic?"

"This is very simple." Nuwa explained: "In Fayana and their world, the technological power is extremely weak. They only know that the brain is related to the use of magic power, but they cannot explain or study it in depth. But here everything has changed. It is much simpler. I asked Fayana to put on the detector and try to release magic. By monitoring the brain area used by Fayana to release magic, I determined the specific location of the magic controller. Then I adjusted it again We only caught a small monster in that forest and studied the difference in brain characteristics between it and Fayana. Finally, we analyzed that the locations where they use magic are actually the same. After that, I had people dissect that A World of Warcraft and successfully extracted its brain and magic-related tissues, and then used the Celestial Virus in your body to artificially simulate the structure of this organ and tissue. Just before you came, we performed a small operation on Lucky, an artificial implant After entering the DNA code corresponding to that organ, the cell tissue in Lucky's body is still being adjusted. For the time being, it can only release low-level spells such as small fireballs and freezing spells. After complete adjustment, it should be possible to release powerful magic. ”

"But didn't Fayana say we don't have magic power here?"

"Yes, we do not have magic here, but what is magic? Those creatures in the forest can still use magic when they come to us, which shows that they can store magic in their bodies. After Fayana's explanation and our verification, they The magic core in the brain is the magic battery in their body, and later we discovered that the energy stored in the magic core is actually just a very active basic energy, and the energies can be converted into each other. So I use It took me a few minutes to design such a small thing." Nuwa stretched out her hand, and a mechanical arm on the roof lowered and pushed an instrument placed next to the wall in front of us. "This is a charger I designed. The principle is very simple. It uses a piece of artificial synthetic material that imitates the molecular structure of the magic core as a converter to pass electrical energy into this material, and then obtains pure magic power from the other side. This method can be used to artificially generate magic power, and the conversion rate is quite high. The one you see is a bit large because it is a verification machine. If it is sent to the processing workshop for precision processing, the size should be reduced to the size of a lighter. Big and small. You can output electrical energy yourself, so I plan to implant this device into your body, and then you can get magic power by inputting electrical energy into it. How about it? A very simple design, right?"

Rose and I nodded as we listened to Nuwa's explanation. In fact, everything in this world is similar. It is said that those who can master magic are not difficult and those who are not. When you watch a magician perform magic tricks in the audience, you will feel it is very magical, but when you know the principle, you will feel that it is nothing more than that. Although magic is much more complicated than magic, once you understand the principles, it's actually pretty much the same, and there's nothing incomprehensible about it.

After a brief discussion with Nuwa and others about equipping us with magic converters, Nuwa transferred the conscious research department to carry out specific research and development, and we found Fayana according to the original purpose and worked with her. She talked about her future arrangements.

According to Fayana herself, their Silver Dragon clan is a relatively unique existence among the dragon clan. The main reason is that the Silver Dragon's character is particularly gentle. Except for the undead and demons, the Silver Dragon clan can get along with all intelligent races. Harmony, so the Silver Dragon has always been the richest clan among the dragon clan. According to our understanding, the Silver Dragons are basically engaged in foreign trade, while other dragon clans only operate within their own clans. In comparison, the Silver Dragons are of course richer.

After figuring out the characteristics of the silver dragon, we finally understood why Fayana became the only alien creature that actively contacted us and took refuge in us. The main reason was because her race was born with this habit.

Regarding Fayana's future living arrangements with us, we must first take action, and this is non-negotiable. Otherwise, if there is a dragon flying around the city all day long, it will definitely cause an international incident. In addition to these, Fayana also serves as our consultant, because she is the only one who knows about things in their world, and no one else cooperates, so it is much faster to ask everything from her than to do our own research. As for Fayana's remuneration, in addition to food, the base staff also plans to connect her to the game, so that she will not feel bored even if she stays in the base every day. After all, thinking in the game is equivalent to being in the natural environment. She got it, and the world in "Zero" is relatively close to her original world. Maybe it will be easier for her to adapt inside than outside.

After making arrangements for Fayana, we ran to visit the two fugitives we captured. The mage's surgery has been completed, and his life has finally been saved, but now his whole body is wrapped like a mummy. Even with our technology, we will have to wait at least another month for him to move normally. The situation on the soldier's side is of course much better. Apart from a big bump on his forehead, it's basically normal. Of course, his mood was not good at all. On the one hand, he was worried about the future, and on the other hand, he was angry at the current situation. The main reason is that this guy has been stripped naked now, and there are men and women studying him nearby, which makes him very sad, but his hands and feet are fixed, and he can't even cover it up.

In the eyes of our researchers, he is just an experiment, but after all, it is impossible for him to think so. Seeing a large group of male *** touching him here and there is simply worse than killing him. It also made him uncomfortable. But since he is tied to our experimental bed, it means that things like *** have been completely insulated from him, so no one will care about him no matter how sad he is. In fact, he should have thanked Nuwa for not immediately slicing him up for study. If Nuwa hadn't thought that this warrior's physical characteristics were special and wanted to observe him for a longer period of time, he might have been dissected when he first arrived here. .

After confirming that there was nothing going on for us at the base for the time being, I took the demon pets back to their respective lounges, unloaded their equipment, and reconnected to the game. The screen flashed and I had appeared at the place where I had logged off before. Looking around, Princess Mila was no longer nearby. After all, it had been so long since I left suddenly, and I also told her to stay with her father, so no one at the scene could understand.

After thinking for a while, I connected to the communication of Military God first. "Military God. Where are the guests we brought back from the red planet?"

"They just returned to the red planet through the Stargate three minutes ago, but Princess Mira is still waiting for you in Isengard."

"She's waiting for me?"

"Yes."

"Okay, I understand." Although I felt a little strange that Mira would wait for me, I quickly teleported to Essinger. Because the city management system found her without much effort, Mira was talking to her at that time. Hongyan chats. Although Hongyan is now the patron beast of our guild, he was once an epic dragon of the dragon clan after all, and he must know much more about the history of the dragon clan than the average dragon clan.

"Hey, Zi** is back?" Hongyan immediately ended the conversation with Mira when he saw me.

I nodded and said hello, then turned to Mira and said: "I didn't expect you haven't left yet, what's the matter? Do you still want to fight again?"

Mira shook her head, and then said: "No, I decided to hang out with you from now on."

"Ah?" I originally thought that Mira hadn't left but was just here waiting for me to come back so that we could continue the fight. Who knew that she would suddenly say such a sentence? The contrast with what I originally thought was too big. Bar? "Why do you suddenly want to follow me?"

"I'm willing to admit defeat. Although you left early before, the battle has actually been decided. Even if you don't leave, my failure will be a matter of time. I don't want to quibble. Since I lose, I lose."

"You are really straightforward." Even after Mira said this, I stopped being polite to her and directly hooked my finger at her. After she came over, I pricked a blood spot on my hand, and then put it on hers. With a light press on my forehead, a red magic circle immediately appeared around my finger and disappeared into Mira's forehead in a flash. "Okay, you will be my magic pet from now on."

"Is it over?" Mira asked as if she couldn't believe it.

I looked at her funny and asked, "Then what steps do you think should be taken?"

"No, I just think this is a bit too fast, right? Why don't I feel any restraint or anything like that?"

"Because you voluntarily became a demon pet and were not forcibly captured, you will not be subject to any attacks as long as I do not give direct instructions. Of course, you cannot attack me and my fellow units without permission. This is Basically ***, even if I don’t give the order, it will automatically take effect.”

Mira nodded to show that she understood, and then asked: "Then when can you take me to see Qinglong?"

"The four holy beasts are not that easy to see. Even if you have my face, you can't see them if you want to. If you want to learn from each other and improve your strength, I don't think you have to fight them right away. Isn't Hongyan good? ? You are all dragons, he should be able to teach you. In addition to Hongyan, doesn’t our guild also have a patron saint? You can go find Vina and the others."

Mira nodded and said, "I think I'd better practice with you for a while first."

Finding that Mira's expression seemed a little disappointed, I turned my attention to Hongyan, who explained knowingly: "She had already gone to find Weina when you were not here, but Weina was not here, so she went with Xinghuo , Peacock and the others had a discussion."

"The results of it?"

"Been beaten!"

"Oh!" I suddenly realized and turned back to Mira and started to comfort Mira. In fact, I should have expected this result. No matter how strong Mira is, she is just a dragon. She is no match for me, let alone those guardian gods? Yes, if we really fight, I might be able to defeat Starfire and Peacock Pluto, but that's not because my absolute strength is higher than that of the gods, but because my attributes are naturally capable of restraining all the gods' units, and all those with divine power Almost all the creatures were restrained by me, so the gods couldn't exert their full strength in front of me. On the contrary, it would be different when meeting Mira. She is just a relatively strong dragon. Wouldn't it be cruel to fight against the gods? I don’t know what skills Xinghuo has. Back then, Peacock Pluto was able to defeat even the Great Sun Tathagata with one move. Although there was suspicion of a sneak attack, after all, the strength was there. It seemed too much to challenge them with Mira’s strength. It's a little early. As for the four holy beasts, don't even think about it. Even if Starfire and Peacock Pluto are used together, they can only support a few moves. The four holy beasts have the special attribute of guarding from all directions. They seem to be able to suppress all creatures except the local main gods. That is to say, within the scope of China The Four Holy Beasts should be able to defeat any target except for Hong Jun, otherwise they would not be qualified to guard Chinese territory.

After briefly introducing my other magic pets to Mira, I sent her to the training space for training. Anyway, her favorite thing is to improve her strength, and training in the training space is more suitable for her. After settling in Mira, I ran back to Steel City. I didn’t know what was going on here after I brought the purple clay back last time. I was in a hurry to find Mira and didn’t go to see it. Now I just happened to go and inspect it.

When I arrived at the Steel City, I discovered that it was almost turning into a factory of all nations. Rows of giant machines were running crazily driven by magic crystal power. A large number of people were busy transporting various kinds of products back and forth next to the machines. The produced parts, and there is a production line on the other side, where countless NPC workers are busy assembling what clearly look like missiles. It seems that the production here is going smoothly, at least the finished product has been seen.

After seeing the situation outside, I wanted to go inside the workshop to see what was going on. Who knew that as soon as I approached the machine, I suddenly heard a whine. I lowered my head almost instinctively, and a giant sword swung over my head with just a few centimeters. I passed by, looking at this speed, if I was hit by it, I would be knocked out.

"Holy crap, who set this up?" I yelled as I backed away, but no one answered my question. The mobile Angel that flashed out from behind the machine obviously recognized me as an enemy. It missed the target and even took big strides to catch up with me.

Seeing the Mobile Angel rushing towards me, I had no choice but to retreat to the desert outside Steel City and then think of a solution. It doesn't matter if the Mobile Angel is broken up. Anyway, the cost of that thing is high because the materials are hard to find. The production cost is actually not high. Even if it is smashed, as long as the important materials are recycled, it doesn't cost much to produce another one. But the mobile Angel in front of him showed extraordinary combat effectiveness. After discovering that I was planning to run out, it suddenly made a crouching starting position, and then popped out the two wings on its back with a swish sound. After the wings were unfolded, four nozzles suddenly opened on the lower edge of the mobile angel's wings. Then, the four nozzles began to gradually turn red with a louder and louder roar, and finally, with a sudden bang, a terrifying sound was sprayed backward. There was a red flame, and the mobile Angel also rushed towards me fiercely. The speed could be described as lightning. I was hit by him before I had time to react, and then I fought with it like this. Together they flew out of the exit of Steel City and rushed into the sky.

As soon as it flew out of the range of Steel City, the wings of the mobile angel suddenly turned off, and then the wings opened fiercely to slow down the speed, and I continued to fly forward due to inertia and distanced myself from him. Originally, I thought he would just slash me with his sword, but then he actually took the initiative to distance himself from me, which surprised me very much. After all, even if this Mobile Angel malfunctions and identifies me as an enemy, the design of the Mobile Angel is there after all. This thing was originally designed as a melee equipment to support the players in our guild, so their strongest attack method is close combat. Isn't it obviously abnormal to actively distance themselves from the enemy like now? However, although I thought the performance of this mobile Angel was strange at the time, this guy soon made me understand why it did what it did. I saw the Mobile Angel suddenly raised its right arm towards me from a distance, and then an object the size of a pencil box suddenly bounced up from its arm. Following the object, a sudden fire appeared behind it, and an object the size of a pen appeared. The little rocket instantly jumped out of the thing and rushed towards me.

"Holy shit!" Now I knew what it was without even thinking about it. The previous Mobile Angels didn't have this thing at all, and now our guild has just gained the ability to manufacture magic crystal steam weapons. At this time, the Mobile Angels suddenly installed a rocket launcher. You don't have to think about it to know that it is loaded. It won't be an ordinary rocket, except for the magic crystal steam rocket, which doesn't do what he wants at all.

Although it was a little late when I discovered that thing, my reaction speed was above average after all. I opened my wings and flapped upwards, my body suddenly sank, and the little rocket flew above me in an instant. past. "Huh, luckily I dodge quickly!" I breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the rocket fly past, but before I could fully relax, I was lifted up again because the rocket that flew over actually turned around. Fly back again. "***, why are you still following me?"

No matter what the reason is, this thing has been upgraded from a rocket to a missile. I have no other choice but to run away. This thing must be filled with magic crystal steam. Even I definitely don’t want to be bombarded by it. Even if the power of that thing doesn't kill me, it won't be a problem to maim me.

"Bird." After summoning the bird, I climbed on his back. The four nozzles on the bird's wings roared at the same time. In an instant, we broke through the sound barrier and flew forward. The speed of that small rocket was obviously not as fast as the flying bird. After we left, it actually flew back to the Mobile Angel, but no unexpected own incident occurred. The mobile Angel actually reached out and grabbed the small rocket that flew back and stuffed it back into the launcher on his arm. "Holy crap, it can actually be recycled?"

Although I am full of questions, I don’t know who to ask. Now I must find a way to solve this mobile Angel first. After we entered supersonic speed, something like a backpack suddenly popped up on the back of the Mobile Angel, and then two flames were sprayed out from behind the thing at the same time, causing the Speed ​​of the Mobile Angel to suddenly increase. The two and a half tons of everyone The guy actually broke through the sound barrier and rushed towards us after more than ten seconds. Seeing that it was obviously faster than a flying bird, I had no idea when the mobile angel could fly so fast.

"No, Master, that guy is faster than us!" Asuka warned after noticing that the target behind was approaching at high speed.

"I know. You slow down first and try at low altitude to see if you can get behind that guy and shoot it down."

"Let me try."

As the bird flew, the rear nozzle suddenly shut off and shut down. At the same time, the front air inlet opened wide. I only felt a huge force that almost pushed me off the bird's back. However, our speed was Noticeably slower. The mobile angel behind obviously didn't expect us to slow down suddenly. Although it also made a deceleration action, it still rushed over and passed through us from the side. The flying bird immediately rolled to its back, and then the combustion chamber suddenly and violently compressed, instantly releasing the energy accumulated during the previous deceleration. I saw four shock waves visible to the naked eye flying forward, just like four beams of light. However, the Mobile Angel did something even more exaggerated than us. It suddenly changed from a leaning forward flying posture to an upright posture, and then the nozzle on its back flashed violently, following it it suddenly looked like a missile. It also jumped upwards, and the four sound pressure bombs we fired all slipped under its feet and had no effect at all.

The mobile angel dodges our attacks and turns around suddenly, then raises its hand and aims at us again. Originally, I thought it was going to fire another rocket, but who knew that this time, a crystal bounced off the back of its hand? He got up, and then saw that the crystal began to gradually light up. When the crystal turned blue, his hand suddenly shook, and a blue meteor-like light ball suddenly shot out from the crystal. Flying towards me.

"What a god!" I was almost scared out of my mind when I saw that blue thing, because that thing was none other than the first-generation magic crystal power weapon of our guild - the magic crystal cannon. of energy cannons. The initial magic crystal cannons were very large. Not to mention being mounted on a mobile Angel, even an ordinary carriage couldn't pull it. I didn't expect that we had not paid attention to this research for such a long time. Our guild had already figured out how to mount it on a Mobile Angel. The miniature magic crystal cannon in his hand is gone, and the speed of the light ball fired is obviously different from before. The shells fired by the previous magic crystal cannon were very slow. Unless they hit a moving object, it was generally unlikely to hit a moving object. But this one is different. Although the light ball is only the size of an apple, its speed is very fast. It was astonishingly fast, almost in an instant.

I discovered that this new type of magic crystal shell was so fast. How could I dare to stop? I quickly accelerated the flying bird. A rollover and curved acceleration finally allowed me to dodge it, but what happened next made me dumbfounded again. That mobile The Angel actually started firing at me like a machine gun, and the interval between the two shots was only a little more than one second, which means that this guy can fire more than forty shots a minute. Although this speed is not as fast as that of a machine gun Comparable, but we must consider that the ammunition it fires is not comparable to that of a machine gun. Although I don't know how powerful the shells of this small magic crystal cannon are, I can at least be sure that it will not be much worse than the power of ordinary gunpowder cannon shells.

"Master, isn't this thing our own? Why are you beating us?" Feiniao asked while desperately dodging left and right.

"If you ask me, who should I ask?"

This Mobile Angel is really weird. Not only is the weapon system incredibly powerful, it is also staring at me and chasing me. I don’t know where the short circuit is. In fact, this Mobile Angel is definitely no match for me in a real fight. The key is that its core is relatively precious. If I hit it lightly, it will be useless. If I hit it hard, I am afraid that its core will be destroyed and cannot be recycled, so I was 'forced'. The only option is to run away. If this wasn't something from our guild, I could just blow it to pieces with one big move and that would be the end of it.

I was feeling depressed when suddenly I saw the mobile Angel suddenly turned around and flew back, which made Asuka and I both stunned.

"Master? Are we going to catch up?"

"Well, let's catch up and see what's going on."

We turned around and followed the mobile Angel all the way back to the sky above Steel City. However, at this moment, we saw that the image of the nearby desert seemed to suddenly move, and then after the air fluctuated, a station appeared below us. A neat army of mobile angels, numbering in the tens of thousands.

"Damn, this isn't all going out of control, right?"

"Hahahaha..." A burst of laughter interrupted my guessing, because I had already seen Hongyue and Sumei walking out of a nearby bunker.

After seeing them, I quickly directed the birds to fly over. As soon as I landed, I asked, "Did you do this?"

Hongyue said with a smile: "I'll let you test the performance of the new model. How do you feel? Is the combat effectiveness good?"

I nodded. Just now I was chased all over the sky by the mobile angel, so I fully understood this guy's performance. "Generally speaking, the combat power is very strong, especially the attack power is very scary. The magic crystal steam missile and the later rapid-fire magic crystal cannon are very scary, plus the flying speed, it is really awesome. But I feel like this guy The flexibility seems to be a bit lacking."

Su Mei nodded and said: "We talked about this with Woma just now. But there is nothing we can do about it. The main body of this mobile Angel Light weighs two and a half tons. Plus the load of the weapon system, the total weight With more than three tons, the flexibility we have now is the best we can achieve."

"Can't we increase the power output?"

"I've tried it before!" Woma suddenly walked out of the bunker Hongyue and the others had just walked out from, holding a trouble-like metal skeleton in his hand. "This is the result of the power enhancement experiment this morning. It turns out that the increase in output power does not improve flexibility, but twists and bends all the joints and bones. Unless the weight is reduced or stronger materials are found, this is the limit. Speed!”

"It seems that too high a push-to-weight ratio is not a good thing!" I took the metal skeleton, looked at it, and handed it back, but I quickly thought of the previous situation. "By the way, why did you suddenly appear here just now?"

"We have to thank Ashford for this." Hongyue explained: "After the last technical meeting, we shared some superficial technologies from both parties. Who knew Ashford and the others actually said they could improve our mirage system? Unexpectedly In the end, they did it.”

"You said that was a mirage system just now?"

"Yes, it is the kind of mirage system that was previously installed on battleships. However, the new equipment is relatively small and can be installed on mobile angels. However, the stealth effect is not ideal yet. It is pretty good in desert and ocean backgrounds. Once you enter a place like a forest or a city where the environment is complex, it won't be very useful."

I nodded and said, "That's good. Oh, by the way, I've been away for the past two days. Is there any movement from *** people?" Hongyue and Sumei's faces immediately turned down when I asked this question. , which made me nervous. "What's wrong? Did something happen?"

After hesitating for a long time, Hongyue nodded. "Something happened!"
