Constructing-Style Wizard

Chapter 392 382. New Mechanical Spirit

"Capital News":

Hotams confirmed that the Eidolon Order had contact with the academy before all of them disappeared.

"Unas Ring Daily":

Hotams submitted new clues to the Ministry of Magic. The clue points to a new star that appeared in the night sky a month ago. The Stargazers Association named that star "Subplane 13342."

"Unas Ring Post":

It is reported that the owner of sub-plane No. 13342 is the long-missing Night Spirit Order. As of now, letters sent by relevant parties to this sub-plane have not received any response.

…

In the early morning, Li Nuo read the newspaper in the study with hot tea.

The headline on the front page made him feel dizzy.

Under normal circumstances, an incident will remain in the public eye for about seven days at most.

However, due to the secret talks between the Ministry of Magic and Hotams, the collective disappearance of the Eidolon Order that should have disappeared has come into public view again, and the issue of the ownership of sub-plane No. 13342 has been pushed out and became a new issue. topic.

Li Nuo calmed down, opened the system interface in his mind, clicked on the "Secondary Plane" option, and sensed the situation in the secondary plane barrier.

Well, new envelopes appeared in the maze space that was just cleaned last night, and the number is more than the past three days combined.

At each of the eight entrances to the labyrinth space, a small hill over one meter high appeared, all of which were letters sent to the labyrinth space from nature.

Li Nuo controlled a mechanical spirit to come to the pile of letters, picked up a letter and checked it.

"To the missing Eidolon witch Aijia: The night I met you was the most wonderful moment in my life. I tasted endless joy from your tenderness..."

Screw your joy... Li Nuo twitched the corner of his mouth and tore up the letter addressed to the Eidolon Witch.

Li Nuo asked Mechanical Spirit to pick up another letter.

"To the beautiful Eidolon Witch Yagatha: Hello madam, we are Brading Handmade Tailor Shop. The dress you customized here has been made, please..."

Forget your dress, Yagatha has already entered Nabi's belly. Go look for it there. Nabi's Belly may not provide free shipping, so you have to pay the good luck payment first.

Li Nuo asked the Mechanical Spirit to tear up the letter.

After looking around, none of the letters were nutritious. The recipients were all witches from the Eidolon Order, and only a handful of them were addressed to Severas Nabi.

Li Nuo simply asked the mechanical spirit guarding the entrance of the maze to destroy all the letters, not wanting to see any of them.

As we all know, when the mechanical spirit destroys an object, Li Nuo can normally trigger passive deconstruction.

When Mechanical Spirit tore up the letter, many system messages were refreshed in Li Nuo's mind.

Among the many system messages, there were a few lines that aroused Li Nuo's alert.

[Passive deconstruction successful! 】

[You have obtained the deconstruction result of "Shingjin Society Letter". 】

[You have obtained the deconstruction result of "Horare Rally Letter". 】

[You have obtained the deconstruction result of "Jinguang Court Letter". 】

【…】

These letters are related to the Metal Ancestor Dragon Tal'sali. The Shining Gold Society, the Horalei Assembly and the Pure Light Tribunal are the partners of Tal'sali in the inner starry sky!

Li Nuo did some manipulations in his mind, opened the decomposition results of these letters, and looked at them together.

Fortunately, the deconstruction results included the content of the letter itself, otherwise Li Nuo would have probably missed some important information because the machine spirit tore up the letter.

There was nothing much to say in the letter from the Shining Gold Society. This metal wizard force affiliated with the Wealth Co-Creation Society only sent a brief greeting. They want to restart cooperation with the Eidolon Order, which controls the sub-dimensional world, that's all.

Shuo Jinhui didn't say what kind of cooperation it was in the letter, so Li Nuo had no way of knowing the details.

The letter from the Horare gathering is interesting.

This wizard force, composed of the original Hotams metal wizards, wants to find a sub-plane as its base.

They suspected that the disappeared "Frost Sideburn Blood Ring" was hidden by the Night Spirit Order, and the sub-plane No. 13442 currently appearing in the night sky was the second sub-plane owned by the Night Spirit Order.

They wanted to purchase a sub-plane from the Eidolon Order, and proposed to meet with the master of the Eidolon Order.

The letter from Jingguang Court made Li Nuo feel a hint of threat.

Since transforming the secondary plane requires an extremely large amount of magical energy and supporting plane devices, the Eidolon Order, which has not recently purchased magical energy and plane devices from the legal market, was suspected by the Pure Light Tribunal of participating in illegal transactions. .

The Pure Light Tribunal requires the Night Spirit Order to lift the subdimensional barrier and accept the investigation by the Pure Light Wizard team, otherwise it will be punished.

Good, good, clean style as always.

Li Nuo read these three letters and felt a little more relaxed.

He thought that Talsali had discovered the relationship between the stolen soul gem and the sub-plane. But now he saw that it was just a false alarm.

Li Nuo closed the magic vision in his mind and sat on the chair in the study room to think about it.

He snapped his fingers and had an idea.

As the spell blueprint in his mind quickly took shape, Li Nuo disappeared from the study.

In the blink of an eye, he came from the natural world to his own sub-plane and appeared in the manor on the hilltop.

In the past month, Dinas and Norin were responsible for renovating and moving the subdimensional manor, while Li Nuo stayed on island 33 to deal with the personnel from the deep sea branch who might come at any time.

When he arrived at the manor in the sub-dimensional world, the first thing he saw was the scene of mechanical spirits carrying building materials and building houses under the command of Norin.

Avoiding this group of busy little things, Li Nuo came to the open-air weapon manufacturing factory built near the manor.

This is a place where mechanical spirits are made in a streamlined manner. Currently, there is a warehouse for storing alchemy materials, three conveyor belts for transporting materials and parts, a series of mechanical operating tables for assembling mechanical spirits, carving alchemy formation patterns, and testing finished machinery. A smart testing platform.

Under the premise of ensuring sufficient raw materials and stable energy supply, such an assembly line, where machine spirits serve as workshop workers, can produce 30 to 50 specific models of machine spirits every day.

All the mechanical spirits produced from the assembly line will be used to form new assembly lines to further increase the output of the mechanical spirits.

If the cycle continues like this, in about two months, Li Nuo will be able to increase the daily output of Mechanical Spirits to 1,000.

Is the daily production of 1,000 mechanical spirits enough?

Not enough, still not enough.

Look at the letter in the labyrinth space.

If those people who sent letters to harass him, an innocent little wizard, sent a team or a magic clone to visit him, Li Nuo would have to entertain them well, right?

You must not let the other party and others discover your true identity, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Fortunately, there are very, very few wizards who know about mechanical spirits. Otherwise, Li Nuo really wouldn't be able to use the mechanical spirits to entertain his guests.

Assuming that there will be more than a dozen nine-ring wizards appearing in the maze space in the future, Li Nuo feels that he must at least increase the daily output of the assembly line to 10,000 to ensure that his army of mechanical spirits will not be defeated by sudden battles.

To this end, Li Nuo had to prepare a large amount of alchemical materials and magical energy.

"Noreen, have you figured it out? If I want to increase my daily production to 10,000 pieces, how much alchemy materials and magic energy do I need to keep on hand?"

Li Nuo found Nolin who was busy on the assembly line and asked.

Noreen was carrying a mechanical tool bag, and a robotic arm stretched out from the bag to grab parts or hand out tools to her.

Seeing that Li Nuo was coming, Norin put down what she was doing and asked the machine spirit who was staying next to the magic access device to bring a stack of paper reports to Li Nuo.

"Sir, the results of my calculations are all above."

Li Nuo took it and looked at it briefly.

The good news is that the inventory of alchemy materials and unused soul energy can ensure that the assembly line can run continuously for 15 days with a daily production of 5,000 mechanical spirits.

The bad news is that if we want to ensure a stable daily production of 10,000 mechanical spirits, the total number of materials and soul energy in the warehouse will be more than 20 times what it is now.

The most scarce among them are alchemical materials, and the rarest among alchemical materials is universal metal powder.

As soon as Li Nuo saw this analysis, his teeth felt slightly sore...

If he hadn't closed down the "Grey Wasteland" in the pollution field, the Gathering City at this time would definitely be able to produce all-purpose metal powder at a rate a hundred times faster than before.

Such a huge output can definitely not only meet the needs of the Alchemy Temple, but also bring Li Nuo an abundant supply of universal metal powder.

But unfortunately... "Gray Wasteland" was locked up by him...

From this incident, Li Nuo also realized a fatal flaw of the Mechanical Spirit.

That is to rely too much on the alchemy and universal metal powder of the Alchemy Temple.

On the one hand, this will cause Li Nuo to always be stuck in the Alchemy Temple. On the other hand, the metal mechanical spirit itself also has the potential risk of being exploited by the Metal Ancestral Dragon.

Therefore, it is time to put the design and development of non-metallic mechanical spirits on the agenda.

Li Nuo and Norin discussed for a while, and the other party brought him good news.

As long as Norin is free, she will take the initiative to carry out the orders given by Li Nuo.

Among the many orders that Li Nuo himself had somewhat forgotten, there was the one of "research and development of non-metallic mechanical spirits".

Noreen was very disgusted with the metal manufacturing group and wanted to draw a clear line with each other.

She is extremely interested in all research and development projects that are not based on "metal materials".

"Developing non-metallic mechanical spirits" was spontaneously regarded as her top priority.

At this moment, the Magical Visitor already has a complete set of plans for making non-metallic mechanical spirits.

Li Nuo was overjoyed and praised this capable assistant.

He came to the Magical Visitor to check the plan, and gradually fell into thinking.

Compared with the current metal mechanical spirits, non-metallic mechanical spirits have one advantage and one disadvantage.

The advantage is that the cost is very, very low.

Personally participating in the mining of non-metallic ores allowed Li Nuo to purchase high-grade non-metallic ores at very low prices.

As a result, the cost of a single non-metallic mechanical spirit will be reduced to about one-fifth of that of a metallic mechanical spirit, and all-purpose metal powder will not be used at all.

The disadvantage of non-metallic mechanical spirits is also obvious, that is, they are relatively large.

Um...no...

Li Nuo squinted at the words on the plan, and according to what was written in the book, stretched out his hand to indicate the size of the non-metallic mechanical spirit.

Not an ordinary big…

It is also a capacitor package. The non-metallic one is 500% larger than the metallic one, and the weight is increased by about 200%.

This is equivalent to enlarging a basketball-sized mechanical spirit to the size of half a person.

If this is the case, many tactics will have to be modified.

Li Nuo flipped back the plan and his eyes lit up.

Norin actually took into account the shortcomings of the non-metallic mechanical spirit being bulky and made some optimizations.

In the second half of the plan, Noreen put forward a conjecture.

That is to simply give up on highly mobile combat units like Mechanical Spirits, and instead invest materials and energy into fixed turrets and self-propelled firepower devices.

The technological product of the Metal Manufacturing Group called "Sentry Drone" is suitable for manufacturing with non-metallic materials.

This kind of heavy and bloated drone, but with extremely high defense and firepower, is usually installed on battlecruisers, battleships, predator ships and drone carriers. It has weakened mobility and specialized lethality and defense. Powerful drone.

Coincidentally, Noreen's predecessor, the synthetic DKP-15, commanded a heavy transport ship, and there was a simple factory on the ship to manufacture and improve sentry drones.

Before becoming captain of the ship, Noreen learned how to build sentry drones.

This part of precious scientific and technological information is stored in the storage unit, and has now been taught to her by Li Nuo.

Li Nuo flipped back a few pages of the plan, and sure enough, he saw the overall manufacturing plan for the sentry drone.

He did not hesitate to launch deconstruction on the plan, successfully triggering the linkage between the plan and "Evocation Magic" and "Alchemy".

A long string of system text was refreshed in Li Nuo's mind, falling like a waterfall.

Putting aside the lengthy production process, looking at the effects of the product, this thing, temporarily named "Sentry Mechanical Spirit" by the system, perfectly meets most of Li Nuo's needs.

Ten times the energy storage capacity of the Mechanical Spirit, it increases the energy of a single Mechanical Spirit to 10 million points, greatly increasing the lethality and endurance of the Mechanical Spirit.

The large-caliber energy injector is like a cannon barrel, which can definitely frighten all guests with bad intentions.

Although the external armor composed of multiple layers of non-metallic armor plates is thick and somewhat rough, the armor's defense performance is solid and is enough to ignore magic attacks of six rings and below.

If anti-magic materials can be obtained, the defensive performance of the Sentry Mechanical Spirit will be further improved.

Isn't this the soul of Li Nuo's dream?

A smile bloomed at the corner of Li Nuo's mouth, and he looked at the nervous Nolin with a smile and said:

"It's very good, very good. I'm very satisfied with this plan. I can't even find any faults with it."

Noreen breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that Li Nuo would not be satisfied with the plan she conceived.

Li Nuo asked Norin to relax and use "spiritual infusion" to deliver the construction plan he obtained through deconstruction to the other party.

Although she has witnessed Li Nuo's creative talents in the field of magic many times, Norin was still shocked that the other party was able to produce a "magically modified" sentry drone in a short period of time.

After a brief period of confusion, Noreen began to verify and read the plan in her mind.

"Sir, if this plan is implemented, the current assembly line that produces 50 machine spirits per day will need to be significantly modified. It is expected that after the modification is completed, the assembly line can produce 5 sentry machine spirits every day."

Li Nuo looked at the vast forest and mountains and took a deep breath:

"Without further delay, let's start transforming the assembly line now and increase production capacity as soon as possible!"

"Yes, sir!"
