Chapter 308 Return to the Territory

Alicia jumped off the suspended carriage, her eyes sparkling with curiosity about new things.

"This is my first time traveling far away, the environment here is great."

Ji Lin watched the girl curiously looking around on the stone road next to the green grass in the sun.

This was her first time leaving the Holy City and stepping into a new world she had never seen before.

In the carriage, the constructs wearing white armor sat neatly in the carriage, lowering their heads and standing by.

The improved special truck can carry these heavy constructs on the road, but it can only deliver them to the territory. It is up to the personnel of the territory to send these chaplains to any location.

In front of each chaplain is a long gray painted equipment box, and the gray painted square equipment box contains the universal weapon set they use.

The chaplains are covered with neatly overlapping armor, which sets off the existence of these three-meter-high war creations.

They removed the cloth and decorations used for the guard mission in the Holy City, removed the decorative structure, and fully revealed the cold light white steel color.

"According to the Pope's instructions, the Skitarii only obey Alicia's command and will only protect you when your life is in danger."

The escorting high-ranking priest looked at him with an unhappy expression and repeated the sentence again.

The cabbage that everyone loves in his city was dug up by outsiders, and no one would give him a good look.

"Click."

Heavy steps fell to the ground, and the Skitarii in the carriages stepped out of the carriages one by one.

The steam spider looked at this unit that was the same as humans but taller than humans with curiosity. The Skitarii turned its body away to avoid these blue-painted mechanical spiders to avoid colliding with the "natives" of the territory.

The Skitarii lifted the weapon box on the vehicle with its broad palm and put it behind its back. The weapon box was locked on its back like a suspended body, following the pace of the Skitarii.

The pinnacle of runeology and magic.

Ji Lin also wanted to apply this technology to the structures produced in the territory...

Although I don't know what it is used for, it's very cool.

The steam spiders serving as patrol guards seemed to have found their following targets. They shook their bodies and followed behind the crusaders, full of curiosity about these "kinds".

They lined up neatly outside the post station in the territory. If there were not many people stationed in the post station at this time, they would have been surrounded by the people in the territory as rare creatures.

Ji Lin retracted his gaze and focused on the high-level priestess accompanying him.

Alicia looked at the sea in the distance, with no obvious expression on her face.

She stared blankly at the horizon where the water and the sky met. The setting sun sprinkled glittering golden scales on the sea, reflecting the soft golden clouds in the sky.

"It looks good, right?"

Ji Lin focused his eyes on the sea level in the distance. He was used to the beautiful scenery of sunset and moonrise on the coast. This scene was quite shocking for people who came here for the first time.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the floating carriage beside him disappear into the portal after unloading.

He couldn't understand why horses were needed to pull the carriage even though the floating technology had been applied.

Ji Lin asked the guards stationed there to pass on the message to the nearest airship berth and dispatch two cargo airships to deliver the aid he brought to the territory to the city hall.

He would not mobilize the affairs officer of the territory to wait for him here if he was not sure about the time.

This kind of waiting was meaningless. Every affairs officer had a full schedule, and there was no need to mobilize other people to welcome him if he could solve the problem himself.

As for welcoming Alicia, the high-level priest, he was already there as the lord, so there was no problem!

He didn't know what the dean had contacted him with before, and he needed him to solve it.

Alicia stood on the lawn, watching the seabirds take off and land in the distance. These black spots swept across the sea surface and brought a splash of water. Then some seabirds separated from the flock, and they returned to their nests, returning to the coastal trees that looked extremely tall from a distance.

The auxiliary spellcasting construct she carried with her was like a loyal guard, circling the girl, splitting from time to time to show her core, and then shrinking and gathering to reorganize.

The Holy City is not far from the sea, but she has never left the core area/main city of the Holy City. Alicia faces the solemn white buildings in the Holy City day after day, and has never seen a real grassland.

The most common water source in the Holy City is a water supply canal that surrounds the entire city, and everyone's daily water is supplied by it... Maybe there is an ocean far away from the Holy City.

Ji Lin put his finger on the scientific research projects in the territory. There are already many scientific research projects accumulated here. He will look through these projects while waiting for the arrival of the airship.

As a lord, he is poor and has only a legendary stopwatch. There is no blueprint in the backpack that can be used, and there is no equipment suitable for him to use... The only burning battle flag was thrown to Fang Ai by him. The opponent's elf archer needs such reinforcement.

He hasn't checked these scientific research projects for a long time, and they are almost piled up into a long column in the list.

The top technology is still the steam core technology, which provides a possibility of efficient energy conversion, a route that can completely determine the future direction of a civilization.

The technology below the steam core is...

'Automaton'

‘In front of our goal, all current structures are too simple. All current frameworks limit the scale, application scope and thinking ability of the structures. Mechanical structures should have a better and smarter structure - they will always be loyal wingmen of humans. ’

‘Please note that this technology is dangerous technology’

‘When the project is completed, the automaton research and development route will be unlocked for you. ’

‘When you apply this technology, all structures in the territory will be called: automatons. ’

Ji Lin's eyes widened. Something was wrong. This technology had never appeared before. Was it a research project that was unlocked after he falsely promoted to the fifth era, but...

Ji Lin searched for the possible source of this project in his mind.

Was it transmitted to him by Gui Yu? No, automaton theory and mechanical beasts are different.

Mechanical beasts pay more attention to human control and synchronization of machinery/structures, allowing them to smoothly control mechanical units far beyond humans.

Like a living thing.

This control technology is by no means an ordinary technology. Ji Lin estimated that this technology is at least as rare as automaton theory.

He thought of the dean, and then opened his backpack, where the letters sent to him by Senotta and Jeanna were still stored.

This is the technology that arrived with the dean, but was unlocked in the fifth era?

Ji Lin shook his head and glanced at the research time of the automaton subordinates, which was only one month less than the steam core.

This means that they are at least at the same level in terms of difficulty.

He must first point out the highly profitable steam core, and then touch this thing called the automaton project. Dangerous technology is not something that can get along well with civilization.
