Chapter 97 Special Needs
The battle with the Skeleton Demon took us a full three hours. It can be said that the fight was very hard, but there was no danger at all. The combat power of these Skeleton Demons is very poor. Basically, everyone on our side can easily crush these things. The only thing that makes us more depressed is that there are too many of these guys, and the reorganization ability brings Regarding the resurrection part, we made a rough estimate after three hours and found that we might have killed about 20 million skeleton demons in total. Of course, this number also includes the number of resurrections. In fact, there are only more than six million real skeleton demons, but the number has increased so much due to situations such as second and third resurrections.
After the battle, basically no one suffered much damage. Although we were occasionally attacked, the opponent's attack power was average, so it had no impact on us. The only feeling everyone felt was that they were so tired that it was difficult to even move their fingers. This is all thanks to the relatively strong auxiliary force on our side, otherwise we would have collapsed from exhaustion. After all, we have been in a state of high-intensity output for the past three hours. The loss of energy and physical strength in this mode will naturally be very scary.
"Huh, I just want to take a nap right now!" Zhenhong said in large fonts regardless of the image, lying on the ground.
Jin Coin held a flying sword in his hand and used it as a crutch to support the ground and reluctantly sat on a pile of bones and asked me: "Should we take a short rest?"
"Of course." I nodded and said: "It seems that everyone is working hard. We can rest for a while before leaving. Anyway, there is no need to be too anxious about time." In fact, the reason why I was so calm was because I had already received Matsumasa and the others. The notice was sent by special means, so I knew that there was no problem outside, so I didn't have to rush.
In fact, there are other reasons for taking a rest here, and this reason is the pit full of broken bones in front of us.
Many players know that bones can be used as resources for necromancers, because many necromancy spells require catalysts, which are different from ordinary spells, and most of the catalysts for necromancy spells contain bone meal, and at least Eighty percent of necromancy spells require only bone powder to trigger. In other words, without bone meal, the combat effectiveness of the necromancers would be reduced by at least half. In this case, bone meal naturally becomes a resource, at least for the necromancer.
However, many people know that bone meal is useful. But few people know. In fact, the purpose of bone meal is not just as a catalyst for necromancy. In fact, among all the people in the world, only about a hundred people know a very important secret, that is - the construction materials of the Mobile Angel also include bone meal.
In the game, there are many different perceptions of the existence of Mobile Angels. The first type is people who don’t understand Mobile Angel at all. Most of these are elderly people who have no understanding of the theoretical system in the game. Or non-combat type players. Of course, there are many children who don’t understand. In short, they are a group of people who know little or almost nothing about Exciting Angels. These people's understanding of the Mobile Angel is a kind of combat robot. This is the most intuitive and simple understanding. Because just by looking at it, everyone can use their own common sense to judge and guess. If you just make a blind guess, you will probably guess this aspect.
This second type of people are people who have a little understanding of the theory in the game, but these people have a very superficial understanding of various background knowledge in the game. They can be said to be the kind of people who seem to understand but not fully understand. These people are actually the main players, because most people don’t go too crazy when playing games. Of course, there are people who are crazy about playing games, and there are a lot of them in total. But if you divide this number by the total number of players in the world, you will find that the proportion of these people is actually not large, and can even be said to be a very small number. The presence.
Based on their limited knowledge of the game and what they saw about the Mobile Angel, these people judged that the Mobile Angel was produced by replacing electrical technology with magic technology, and was a magic version of the robot.
This guess can be said to be somewhat correct, but not entirely correct.
The third type of people are those who know a lot about the game and can often teach or brag about game knowledge in their circle of friends. They do know much more than the average player, and they also have their own understanding of certain things. However, the knowledge level of such people can only be regarded as amateurs, which is still very different from real experts.
These amateur experts have a relatively professional understanding of Mobile Angels. After all, they know more, so in their understanding, Mobile Angels are an advanced constructed creature. Some more professional players even recognize them. It is a constructed creature transformed by a magic weapon. However, in fact, these people don't know, and their guesses are not as good as those who don't know anything. Because at least others got part of it right, but they got it completely wrong.
People who really understand Mobile Angel are the fourth type of people I want to talk about. They are those who participated in the design and manufacturing of Mobile Angel, or are responsible for post-maintenance, etc., that is, insiders of the guild, and they are closely related to Mobile Angel. Some people related to angels. These people know best, and I am one of them.
In fact, the mobile angel has never been a fixed existence. The first generation of mobile angels in the guild should actually be a kind of golem mixed with mechanical transmission technology. They are not exactly the same as ordinary golems because they are not solid, but are designed with rotatable joints. Bearings and stuff like that. However, even if a mechanical transmission device is installed, the golem is still a golem, and this has not changed.
The second generation of mobile angels in the guild are very different from the first generation. These guys have been upgraded from golems to golems. Because they have complete magic power systems and independent thinking units in their bodies, this is no longer the case. The golem is now a golem. Although this kind of demons have their own thinking ability, they are not actually constructed creatures. Because their thinking ability is quite low-level, basically animal-level thinking ability, and besides fighting, they basically can't do anything else. In addition, the most important point is that the devils have no will of their own. If no one gives an order, they will stand stupidly forever, and it is definitely impossible for a living thing to do such a thing.
The third generation of Mobile Angels are actually Mobile Angels in the true sense. They have been upgraded from inanimate tools to living members. This is one of the reasons why the mobile angels in our guild have never been consumables, because they are alive. Don't sacrifice casually. In some major battles, some mobile angels can indeed be sacrificed. But we will never waste their lives meaninglessly, and even under favorable circumstances, we will try to avoid the loss of mobile angels.
These third-generation mobile angels are all real constructed creatures, and the systems in their bodies are the standard equipment of constructed creatures. Just because we use a lot of unique technologies. So it looks much more powerful than ordinary constructed creatures.
The fourth generation mobile angel. That is the main model currently used by our guild. Although the fifth-generation aircraft have been finalized and are equipped with a small amount of special operations troops, the fourth-generation aircraft are basically still the main focus. These fourth-generation mobile angels are compared with the third-generation. In terms of body, the changes are not big. At most, it is just an enhanced version. Part of the technology of the third generation was replaced with new technology, and some better material formulas and some new reliable line arrangements were used, and some internal magic structures were optimized. However, these are minor modifications. Although the overall effect is significant, there is actually no qualitative difference between the third-generation machine and the fourth-generation machine physically.
What really distinguishes fourth-generation machines from third-generation machines is one thing - artificial soul.
Artificial soul technology has nothing to do with mobile angels, because it is neither the category of golem technology nor the category of golem technology, and it has nothing to do with mechanical technology or magic power technology. Artificial soul technology was originally a kind of necromancy. Its original source was the necromancers' exploration of artificial soul manipulation. Finally, although this technology has not had any obvious effect on necromancy so far, it unexpectedly has very good development potential in mobile angels.
If the third-generation Mobile Angel is a construction machinery equipped with simulated artificial intelligence, then the fourth-generation machine is a simulated robot. Compared with the dull and clumsy reactions of the third-generation machines, the intelligence level and thinking reaction speed of the fourth-generation machines have made a qualitative leap. Moreover, the two most important characteristics of the artificial soul are creativity and experience absorption.
The third generation mobile angels will only deal with things they know. If an unexpected situation occurs, they will become helpless because they do not know how to adapt and cannot think of new methods. Moreover, even if third-generation aircraft have encountered a certain situation before, as long as the situation changes slightly, they will be confused again.
However, this is not the case with fourth-generation machines. Fourth-generation aircraft have the same creativity as normal people. They can decide to change their tactics temporarily according to the actual situation, and they know how to adapt to changes. As long as it is beneficial to the final result, they can decide independently what to do instead of just knowing how to do it. Orders are executed meticulously. At the same time, the programmability and self-accumulation capabilities in terms of experience are also the biggest advancements in the fourth generation of machines. Not only can these guys directly inject various tactical information and fighting skills during production, they will also continue to learn on their own during actual use. It can be said that for them, as long as they made a mistake before, they will never make the same mistake again due to subjective factors next time.
Due to the powerful advantages of artificial soul technology, the fifth-generation aircraft also continued to use this part. However, due to the use of artificial souls, new problems appeared in the mobile Angels. Just like the history of aircraft development, with the advancement of engine technology, designers found that canvas skins and wooden fuselages could no longer withstand the high speeds brought by new high-horsepower engines, so aircraft manufacturing materials began to use wood. Too much metal.
Mobile Angel has the same problem. The machine used them well, but with the application of artificial souls, the problem of soul synchronization arose. Due to the technical characteristics of the artificial soul, the fourth generation mobile angel is actually divided into two parts. One part is the body, which is the mobile angel body. This part is just a war machine, not much different from cannons and carriages, and is a material category, and the remaining artificial soul is equivalent to the driver. Our guild has always regarded artificial souls as undead NPCs. They have no body and must use artificial soul equipment to exist. This is a bit like lich, but what is worse than lich is that they cannot leave their own life boxes. , can only stay in this artificial soul device.
Therefore, the fourth generation Mobile Angel is actually a weakened version of the Lich driving a set of magical battle armor. This is the truth about the fourth generation Mobile Angel. Because of this reason, the mobile angel's body has operational difficulties. Because the affinity of the soul to different substances is different, the all-metal body is often difficult to operate. Therefore, moderately adding bone powder to the body of the mobile angel becomes a solution, and this is why we need a large amount of bone powder. . (To be continued...)
