Starting From Zero

Chapter 22 Technical Strength

After entering the city, I took them directly down to the underground city and passed through the transnational teleportation array, but I didn't tell them that this was a transnational teleportation array. Anyway, they could guess that they were teleported abroad, but it would be better if they couldn't guess.

After using the transnational teleportation array, we arrived in China. It is currently early in the morning and it is still dark, but Essinger's lighting equipment has always been very bright. After leaving the teleportation array, it’s up to the layman to watch the excitement and the expert to watch the door. The five Indian players only kept sighing at the tall and majestic building, but Lunde's reaction was different. He first stared at the transnational teleportation array and studied it for a long time, and then looked at the city surveillance equipment with opal inlaid on the wall. When he saw the huge Essinger Magic Crystal Power Research Institute, he claimed that his heart almost resumed beating, but I doubt whether the heart of the mummy is still elastic.

The next thing was confidential, so it was difficult to carry them around. I hired a few girls from the guild to help show them around, and I took Lunde to implement the work. The first step is of course to go to the underground experimental area of ​​the Power Research Institute, open the space door and let everyone take out all the parts. My space door has been opened three times today. It cannot be opened again after it is closed, so I had to move the books out first and then transport them to the library.

The parts were first piled in a special parts area, and Lund ran around crazily in the experimental area like a child who fell into a pile of toys to vent his excitement. After finally waiting for him to calm down, he quickly took him to the library. In fact, the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute has an internal teleportation array that leads directly to the library. This is to ensure the convenience of accessing information when needed. But in order to give Lunde an intuitive understanding, I still took him outside. Taking advantage of this time, let the sub-dragon cavalry transport Lunde's books to the library through the teleportation array.

When he arrived outside the library, Lund was dumbfounded again. He was so excited that he stuttered a little. "This...this...is this the library?"

"Yeah." I nodded affirmatively.

"Is this building a place to store books?"

"Actually, not only this building, but also the buildings behind it and underground, and the buildings in this square area are libraries. The front one is just a place to store catalogs and a reading room, and the book stack is still at the back."

Lund excitedly grabbed me and shook me for a long time: "If I had tears, I would have burst into tears."

"Believe me, your expression now is uglier than crying!"

"Sorry, I'm so excited!"

"Stop getting excited, go in and get excited!"

In fact, Essinger's buildings not only look majestic on the outside, but the luxury and majesty inside the buildings are also a major feature. Lund could only say one sentence after entering the library: "I am so touched!" It is estimated that he was more seriously stimulated today.

"Ziri, are you free to come to the library?" Wei Na suddenly appeared next to the advanced reading room next to the reading room.

"I should be the one to say this, right?" I walked over and helped her pull up the collar of her clothes: "When you are not in the temple, you'd better not dress so exaggeratedly."

"Is it too 'revealing'?" Wei Na said nonchalantly: "Anyway, most of the people here are girls."

"But it's not like there are no men here!"

"Okay then!" Wei Na nodded, "I'll just wear more clothes next time. Who is that behind?"

Lunde then said: "I am Lunde, the second disciple of Master Jiaha."

"Who is Jiaha? I don't know you!" Wei Na didn't care, but Lund was very angry.

"The mentor's reputation is known to the entire mage world, but you don't know about it?"

I was just wondering why Lund was so scared of Wei Na when he was in the United States, why he suddenly became so arrogant here, but now I think about it. I haven't introduced them to each other until now. With Lund's identity, he definitely wouldn't recognize Vina. The reason why he was so bold was because he didn't know that this was Oster Vina.

I quickly said: "Lund, this is the first generation member of the vampire family and the current patron saint of our guild, the goddess Ostevena."

Plop, Lund was so frightened that he knelt on the ground when he heard the name. "Little... little... I don't know if this little person is... the Lord God."

"What's wrong with him?" Wei Na was confused.

I quickly pushed Wei Na into the room: "He is scared. It would be better if you were not there. Okay, I have other things to do and I will play with you when I have time."

"Okay!" Wei Na paused: "But keep them."

"Ah?" I turned around and saw that she was referring to good luck. "Well, good luck, you can play with Goddess Vina for a while first."

Wei Na brought the two pandas into the advanced reading room. I turned around and ran out and pulled Lunde: "Okay, okay, stop trembling. Let's go, I will take you to see Oster Wei Na's royal library. That's all It’s against your nationality, and you’ll never find it except here.”

"Okay." Lund returned to normal instantly.

When walking through the huge library corridor, Lund was almost unable to move forward because of the sculptures on both sides of the road. I almost dragged him to the back stack, and he almost cried again when he saw the huge library area. It took me a few hours to visit the entire library before I could finish it. The place itself was very big, and Lund was making a fuss and shouting, which slowed down the speed even more.

I finally brought him back to the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute. After seeing me, several players who were good at research asked for red-striped magic crystals, but I was really short of raw materials. After dispatching these players, I dragged Lund down to the dungeon part of the research institute. In the research room here are the golems I brought back from the Swiss Temple.

I stood in front of the gate and said to Lunde: "These are the finished puppets left by your mentor, please take a look." After saying that, I pushed the gate open hard.

Lund walked into the room excitedly and looked at the demon dolls. I don't know how to describe his expression. "Are these puppets made by my mentor?" Lund asked me excitedly.

"Yes. And it's a very complete type. I suffered a lot in order to catch them back!"

"Isn't the mentor's puppet very powerful?"

"There is nothing to say in terms of combat effectiveness and defensive power alone. He is definitely the king of land warfare."

"Are there any shortcomings in other aspects?"

"There are shortcomings, and they are quite serious. The first is the manufacturing process problem. The technical difficulty of this thing is too high. You have seen the equipment and technical strength of our guild. We can't repair them with such a large investment. You can imagine his It is difficult to manufacture. Moreover, the setting of using red-streaked magic crystal as power is also a double-edged sword. While the golem has gained long-term movement ability and high power, it also becomes very expensive. In fact, with our financial resources, we really have to Purchasing it is not a problem, but the red-striped magic crystal is currently in a state where there is no money to buy it, so using the red-striped magic crystal as a power source is undoubtedly a major mistake!"

"But things always have flaws."

"Although there will never be a perfect thing, that does not mean that we give up the pursuit of perfection. The devil can have flaws, but constant modification is our goal. Now that we have discovered the shortcomings, we must find a way to remedy them. I am willing to accept you Just because you are Jiaha’s disciple, I think you are much better at this than those researchers who became monks halfway.”

"I'll try my best!" Lund dragged the arm of a demon doll and said, "Are these things seriously damaged?"

"Nonsense! They were all open at the time. How could I take them back without knocking them down?"

Lund saw the dismantling puppet and asked in surprise: "Why does this have so many layers?"

"Didn't I tell you? Your master's puppets are all damage-resistant."

"So it's all divided into internal and external structures, right?"

I shook my head: "Actually, I don't think your mentor is building golems."

"Then what is this?"

"people."

"people?"

"Yes. Your mentor is creating humans. Look at this." I walked over to a demon and took off its helmet. "Did you see it? These armors are the heavy plate armor used by barbarians. There is no modification except for being particularly thick. If you make a golem, you should make a whole body instead of this golem wearing armor. So I doubt that it is better to Ha made the golem according to human standards."

"That makes sense."

I put the armor back on and said, "Actually, I don't care what your mentor thinks. I only care about the actual combat effect. But coincidentally, your master's design is quite in line with my requirements."

"tell me the story."

"It's actually very simple. I require the golem to be low-priced, easy to repair, and have strong battlefield survivability."

"Does the master's design include these?"

"Your master didn't think about this originally, but he realized it. Come and see this devil. The innermost one is originally a skull-shaped devil, but it is usually folded and placed at the core of the devil. This skeleton It’s actually a complete golem, and it can still be used without anything else.”

"Then why don't we just make skeleton golems?"

"That's the problem." I showed him the skeleton's arm. "No matter what the material is, the thinner it is, the easier it is to break. Everyone knows this. This is also the problem with this skeleton golem. Its structure is very simple, which makes the skeleton golem have an ultra-light body and ultra-high agility. , but two problems arise at the same time. The first is that the Skeleton Golem is too simple without being beaten. All the necessary equipment is compressed in the body, but there is only a thin layer of iron outside. The second problem is the power. It's too small. I noticed when this skeleton devil first fought with me that its power is too small and lacks the overwhelming 'sexual' power that the devil has always pursued."

Lund nodded: "That's for sure. The structure is so thin that there is no way to install overly large gears and power components. In order to protect these small parts, the power can only be reduced to prevent the golem from disintegrating itself."

"You've got to the point." I folded the skull golem first, and then attached some scattered parts to the skull golem. At this time, the golem was already like a humanoid object full of muscles. "See? These parts that can be disassembled at will are made of large pieces of metal."

Lund said excitedly: "I understand. These things bring great strength and a stronger support structure to the skeleton golem. Not only is it not easy to break, but the strength will be significantly improved."

"You're right. The hardness of these things is unimaginably high, and because they are larger, they can be installed with more powerful power equipment. The data I obtained during the actual battle with this guy was quite complete. This thing is installed After using plug-ins to build muscles..."

"Wait a minute, what is external muscle building?"

"These are the parts outside the skeleton. Because they mainly provide support and power output, we call them external muscle components here."

"I understand, you continue."

"There will be a huge performance difference between these muscle components before and after installation. Actual data shows that the movement performance of the skeleton golem is stronger than when the plug-in parts are attached, but after the plug-in parts are attached, the puppet's The strength has increased by more than ten times, and the sturdiness has also increased by more than ten times. What this brings is the exponential increase in attack power, which is obviously different."

"But these parts seem too crude, don't they? It would be easy for the enemy to break the parts?"

I excitedly picked up a piece of super heavy plate armor. "So there is this. When I first met these golems, they were all wearing these armors. The golems themselves are very powerful. Even if they wear these armors, their speed will not be affected too much, so the defense of these guys is improved. While improving, they only lose a little bit of mobility. From my observation, the actual agility of these guys is higher than that of ordinary people."

"So the instructor's design is great?"

"Not only that. Think about it, these parts are all modular and can be disassembled and replaced at any time. How much time will this save for our maintenance? This thing is intended to be used as a city defense facility, and urban warfare generally does not exceed Two days is only one week. It takes about three to seven days to repair a golem. By the time you repair it, the battle is over. But this is different. After the parts are damaged, they can be replaced directly, and you can return to the battlefield in three minutes. Currently The main problem limiting the production of golems is the high cost of the magic crystal power extractor, and the production of red-striped magic crystals. If we use your mentor's design, we can mass-produce easily damaged parts. It can be replaced at any time. As long as the core energy extractor and red-striped magic crystal are not damaged, it can be repaired multiple times and used in battles repeatedly, which will definitely give the enemy a headache."

"I understand, and I will focus on this direction in future research."

"I am telling you this today just to let you understand what we need and what we don't need. I hope you will study it carefully in the future. Okay, now I will take you to see the department head here. I won't come here often in the future. After all, The institute is not the only one to take care of in the guild.”

I took Lund to meet the players and NPCs in charge of the research institute, and then took him to see the Steel City. Knowing more about the production capacity of the guild will be beneficial to his future research. At least there won't be any major problems with the technical connection. Lunde saw everything fresh anyway. Steel City was completely a machine-based industrial production, and his small workshop-like research laboratory was incomparable. It was already past 11 a.m. Beijing time when all the tours ended, what a waste of time!

Xiaoying and the others told me that the day after tomorrow was American time, and now it has been more than ten hours. Calculated according to Beijing time, the game time should be tomorrow night, which is less than 48 hours away. Hurry up and call together several main people in charge of the guild for a meeting. The meaning of this major league game is not simple. It involves the entire American strategic system of our guild. We absolutely need to be cautious.

The only people I summoned were Rose, Sumei, Xiaoyao, Ying and Hongyue. No one else attended our meeting. After all, this was a strategic decision, and it was enough to just have a few main leaders and staff members arrive. I first told them the general situation I knew about the Major League Baseball, and then talked about the situation of the Kitty Hawks and the others.

As expected, Sumei was the first to speak: "I think participation is a certainty. The key issue lies in personnel arrangements."

Xiaoyao said: "I think it would be good to let Brother Ziri's Ringtone Knight participate."

Rose shook her head: "You can't rely on the Ring Knight alone. The Grand Alliance is not a simple duel, nor is it a simple racing competition. The Ring Knight alone may suffer a loss. And from Ziri's description, the Grand Alliance was shot. The situation of hitting the first bird is quite serious, and it is not a good thing if the edge is too 'exposed'."

I had never thought of it so much before, but now I reacted immediately as soon as Rose reminded me. At first I thought it would be simple. "Then how should we arrange it?"

Rose continued: "You can't use all the Ring Knights, but you can't do it completely. I think it's most suitable to bring 10 Ring Knights. In case of a group fight, 10 Ring Knights are enough to ensure combat effectiveness, and in case of getting separated, Now, the 10 Ring Knights can be separated to implement one-on-one protection."

Eagle asked: "What about the other 10 places?"

Su Mei immediately said: "Brother Ziri and the one named Xiaoying will definitely occupy two."

Hongyue said: "That person named Xiaoying may not be willing to join our group?"

I said, "I've already asked her. She has some ideas in this regard but hasn't decided yet."

Rose immediately said: "Then you'd better confirm it now, otherwise we won't be able to make a decision later."

"Okay." Anyway, they were in our Essinger. They quickly contacted Xiaoying through private chat. Fortunately, they were connected in time. Xiaoying said that she was getting ready to log off. After a brief inquiry, Xiaoying definitely replied that she wanted to be a group with us. I quickly told them: "Okay, she agreed."

Rose said: "Then there are 8 positions left."

Ying said: "Count me in. After all, I am also a high-attack knight, and my horsemanship skills are pretty good."

"Then why don't you just bring Bai Ling with you?" I said, "You guys have better coordination as a husband and wife team, and Bai Ling, the cavalry archer, is also very powerful."

"Yes, you should bring Bai Ling."

Rose smiled and said: "So I will also participate. There is a resurrection mage in the team who can fill the vacancy of the sacrifice. At present, there seems to be no priest other than me who can use divine magic to heal my companions on horseback."

Everyone immediately agreed to Rose's participation. Having a mage who can replenish blood is definitely a huge advantage in the team.

I urged: "What about the other five positions?"

"Can we let Sister Ziyue go up?" Su Mei asked.

I shook my head: "Ziyue rides a dragon, and the requirement here is that it must be a creature running on the ground."

"What if I go?" Hongyue recommended herself.

"You're not a knight!"

"By the way, Shura Ziyi. She is a knight and has strong fighting ability, so she is definitely suitable." Eagle said.

I nodded and said: "Asura Ziyi is indeed fine, there are still four places left."

"Where's the big pot of rice? He's also a knight." Hongyue said.

"Big Pot Rice?" Big Pot Rice was riding a wild boar, so it was really dangerous for him to ride on it. "Forget it, you don't have to be a knight. As long as you are good at horseback riding, you can even be a mage, warrior, or archer."

"How about Kristina? Although she is a mage, she is also a super mage known as the number one fort in Europe, and her riding skills are just okay." Hongyue suddenly remembered our super mage.

"Then there are still 3 missing!"

"There are three more that I suggest you use your magic pet to top." Rose suggested.

I was confused. "How can a demon pet support me?"

"In addition to Yeying, don't you also have Xiaoxue, Steel Claw and Bailang as mounts?"

"kindness."

"Let Ling ride Steel Claw, Xiaochun ride Xiaoxue, and Lingling ride Bailang."

"What a damaging move!" Sumei sighed.

I made a decision and said: "Then it's settled. The competition will start tomorrow night. Let's get ready. The participants also need to gather together to discuss countermeasures, especially to hear Xiaoying explain the essentials and precautions clearly. Don’t get into trouble if you commit a foul at the end.”
