Chapter 870 Puppet

"Lord An Xiaoyi," the leader of the goblin team stood out, bowed to me and said, "What are your orders here?"

"I don't have any instructions. I just came here for a stroll and visited my goblin friends."

"Ah, I am very touched by your concern, sir," the leader said, and began to wipe away tears.

"I'm very touched -" All the goblins behind him also wiped away their tears.

If I hadn't experienced it myself, I would have thought that this scene was staged and the crying was too neat.

"Okay, okay, don't cry." I comforted the goblin leader like a child.

He sniffed and took out a handkerchief from his pocket. After blowing a large piece of his nose, he folded it again and stuffed the handkerchief back into his pocket: "Yes, yes, Mr. An Xiaoyi."

"Okay, next, can you take me to see your great project?"

"This is my honor!" the team leader bowed respectfully.

I once visited Fort Vicky’s underground laboratory and was amazed by its vast engineering, but I have never found the opportunity to personally participate in their puppet design project. This has always been a regret of mine.

This time, I was finally lucky enough to be able to participate in it. I couldn’t help but thank Lilea for helping me get the opportunity and Dewey for trusting me. I will also try to participate in the development of gunpowder when I go to Dashai City in the future. Let's see if my knowledge on Earth can be of use.

Standing in front of the nearest puppet, I looked up at its delicate and cold face, feeling like I was looking up at the Transformers.

"This is the latest type of battle puppet that Mr. Dewey personally participated in the design before we left Fort Vicky," the team leader introduced: "It is made of a magical tree that grows in the Elf Forest. It has two characteristics. First, it is very hard, even surpassing steel; second, it is highly resistant, does not burn when exposed to fire, is not soft when exposed to water, and is very durable and difficult to be corroded by oxidation.”

"So awesome" I exclaimed.

Although I know that there are many kinds of species and rich resources in the Elf Forest, and I also know that there are trees as hard as steel and trees that are fire-resistant and water-resistant, but this is the first time I have heard of trees that meet these three requirements at the same time.

"Does it work now?"

"You can complete some simple actions," the leader said, "but not complex actions."

"Really? That's really a pity." I sighed and said, "I still want to try its combat capabilities."

"It's not possible yet, Lord An Xiaoyi." The team leader shook his head and said: "Battle requires more precise calculations, and some of the components need to be improved and added."

"Oh, how long does it take to complete?"

The goblin leader thought for a while and shook his head: "I don't know the specific time."

"Probably?"

"Probably, it will take at least a week." He nodded: "If it takes two weeks, it will definitely be completed."

"Two weeks!" I exclaimed.

"Do you think it will take a long time, Mr. An Xiaoyi?" The team leader gritted his teeth: "If it takes a week, there may be flaws. But since Mr. An Xiaoyi has given the deadline, we must have a way to do it."

"No, no no" I waved my hands repeatedly: "You misunderstood, I mean you only need two weeks to complete such a huge project?"

"what do you mean"

"I mean, the time you spent is too short, no, it is simply very short. You are truly worthy of being the elite sent by Master Dewey!"

"Are you praising us?" the team leader asked tentatively.

"Yes, I am praising you." I stretched out my hand and touched the cold and hard body of the puppet. I praised: "Just these cutting and carvings should have taken a lot of time, plus the precision Combat calculations, calculations of the engagement between parts and the smoothness of movements, such a large workload can be completed within two weeks, you are really a top-notch team."

"No, you're ridiculous." The team leader's expression once again changed from embarrassment to calmness, and then joy. At the same time, there was humility: "Although we are a first-class team, we can never be called the top. The truly top excellence. The team, still in Fort Vicky, is assisting Master Dewey in creating a more powerful puppet."

Hearing this, I couldn't help but dig at the puppet's knees. There wasn't even a scratch on the surface of the wood that had been touched by my hard nails. It was indeed the material selected by the goblin leader himself. The quality was good, but the puppet was even more powerful. .

Looking at the group of puppets around me, I frowned slightly: Has Dewey started developing more powerful puppets again? If this continues, will one day a puppet be created that can easily defeat even Achilles? No. I think if we keep going, this is definitely possible!

So, what are the limits of puppets?

"Lord An Xiaoyi?"

Beside me, the voice of the goblin leader interrupted my thoughts: "Oh, oh"

"Great, I was worried about what happened to you."

"I'm fine." I smiled and said, "By the way, how do these puppets move?"

"They rely on driving equipment to generate energy and then move." The team leader climbed up the ladder to the puppet's body and opened a cover behind it, revealing something like an engine inside: "There is a core in the middle of this thing that can generate energy. Once the crystal is turned, it extracts energy from the crystal, and the energy is directed to various parts of the puppet's body through these tubes to activate it, which can then be operated by the personnel in the cockpit."

"Generally speaking, what actions can it take after it's completed?"

"Almost all combat actions can be completed," the leader said: "If necessary, you can also make small modifications and add the actions you want to add."

"How much weight does it carry?"

"Two hundred tons" the team leader said: "This is the maximum weight it can bear now."

"What if it exceeds this weight?"

"It will enter an overload state. In the overload state, the energy in the crystal will be consumed exponentially."

"Is there ever a time when the crystal's energy is completely consumed?"

"Yes." He picked up a crystal and handed it to me. The crystal was about the size of a palm: "Generally speaking, a crystal of this size can support the puppet's operation for a month. Once the energy in the crystal is exhausted, it will automatically break. .”

"A month?" I weighed the crystal: "It's such a long time."

"Yes," the team leader said proudly, "it originally required the energy of diamonds, but I suggested improvements and replaced them with cheaper crystals."
