Chapter 951: The far-reaching significance of magic technology [with benefits] [Happy National Day]

It was obvious that Alpha's overtures to him were more of an investment in potential.

In essence, this goodwill is not because of Zong Shen's own personality charm, but because his future potential has attracted Alpha's attention.

This makes Alpha think that Zong Shen will reach the same level as him in the future.

It can be regarded as a kind of early friendship. In layman's terms, it means forming a good relationship first.

Zong Shen knew this very well, and he always maintained the principle of keeping a respectful distance from Alpha's respectful and slightly flattering attitude.

Although Alpha did not show any combat effectiveness, even under Zong Shen's insight using the strategy module, it was like a blank sheet of paper without any attributes.

But as a special being who performs some powers for the lord system, he must have a transcendent status and significance. What's more, he is the real lord number one, and he has spent an unknown amount of time.

Regarding Alpha's reminder, Zong Shen actually had an idea in his mind.

Since arriving in the Endless Continent, they have been given the status of "lords", and this status itself represents the meaning of opening up a fertile land and becoming the lord of a territory.

In this way, conquest and development have become the main thread that cannot be avoided.

Therefore, in Zong Shen's understanding, the strength of a lord is mainly determined by two aspects.

The first is personal force, and the second is comprehensive force composed of territory, subordinates, and soldiers.

Strictly speaking, the latter is even more important than the former.

Of course, the lord's personal force is also extremely important. It is a shortcut that can help the lord better control resources. Even if one day the territory is lost and the lord becomes a free citizen, he can still do well with good force.

But from a long-term perspective, a truly powerful lord must not only increase his or her own force to the limit, but also develop the territory under his rule to the extreme.

Mana technology, rune forging technology, alchemy technology, mechanical engineering...

These are all roads to explore power. If one can delve into it to a certain height and master it to a level comparable to the rules of the dimensional world, it will definitely provide considerable help to the lord. From a certain perspective, the exploration of these technologies , itself is also a process of harnessing the power of the world!

The lord's own superb military force combined with the skills and combat power of the dimensional world that has climbed to the top is equivalent to turning the resources of the entire dimensional world into a boost for himself.

Only with the support of the entire dimensional world can he truly open up a wider territory. He must first touch the highest point he can currently reach before he can try to spy on the situation above the dome. This is the basis of everything.

"The Evil God"

It was precisely because of this that Zong Shen was given the driving force to conquer the mainland.

After a brief exchange, Zong Shen walked straight towards the [Level VI Magic Energy Concentrated Emitter (Gold)]. As an equipment-level magic energy combat tool, the size of this thing is really shocking.

The first thing that catches the eye is its base, which is a rectangular base ten meters long, six meters wide and 1.5 meters thick.

The body of the transmitter is on the top and mainly consists of three parts.

They are the magic energy clustering device located at the front end. There are three magic energy concentration points inside. The extracted magic energy needs to be condensed three times, and finally converges on the arc mirror-like launch disk, and is emitted in the form of a beam to attack the enemy. .

The middle position is the operation console. Zong Shen saw a joystick similar to the [Tearer Mecha] style. The operator controls the entire set of [Level VI Magic Energy Concentrated Launcher (Gold)] here to complete attack preparation, aiming and launching. the whole process.

The rear part is the energy storage part, which is like a huge box-type backpack, which stores magic energy to supply the consumption of attacks.

Zong Shen walked around the metal base and found that there was also something famous on this base.

Its overall shell is cast using a one-piece casting method belonging to the alchemy school, with a disc similar to a magic array disk embedded on each side.

Each piece is as big as a washbasin and is like a "plug-in", tightly embedded in the metal base.

The overall shape of this thing already has a bit of a sci-fi feel.

It is not ruled out that this metal base has other hidden functions.

After all, its size is so huge and heavy from a human perspective, like a giant metal monument.

After all, it can be regarded as a light energy weapon. It looks completely different from those giant crossbows, magic artillery and the like.

Seeing this, Zong Shen had to sigh at the magic of magic power.

Compared with the energy substances and energies known in the original earth.

It is no exaggeration to say that magic energy is a kind of "universal" energy. It is extremely malleable and is itself a manifestation of elemental magic.

Zong Shen's right hand touched the smooth and cold metal base, his eyes were silent, and there seemed to be a golden light flashing in his eyes.

Golden subtitles emerged, fully displaying in front of him the attributes of the war-killing weapon created by combining alchemy and magic technology.

The specific damage depends on the remaining magic energy)

Cluster Overclocking (loses 100 points of durability, making the beam diameter of the next hit reach three meters, the mana consumption increases by 20 times, the damage increases by 15 times, the maximum range is increased to ten kilometers, and only one cluster overclocking can be performed every 30 minutes )

The transmitter needs to be shut down and cooled down for more than 10 minutes before charging can be performed. )

High-temperature beam (Magic energy beam is a high-energy beam converted from magic energy and has high-temperature characteristics. When launching, please ensure that there is no one within 8 meters of the launch mirror to avoid burns and accidental injuries)

Cluster penetration (the highly condensed magic energy beam has extremely strong penetrability and can penetrate up to 6 targets continuously. This data will fluctuate depending on the target's double resistance, physical strength, and obstacles along the way)]

[Squad Skill: Chain Light Prism (You need to deploy twelve sets of launchers of the same level and same type to trigger the team skill. Through chain energy collection, twelve chain light prisms are emitted. Each light prism can be chain-reflected at the enemy target. 1 to 12 times, causing 2.0 times the corresponding damage. The light prism damage will not be lost after reflection, but the maximum reflection distance cannot exceed 800 meters, and the cooling time is 2 hours)]

(Unexpectedly, there are similar "laser" weapons in other worlds.

Magic energy itself is extremely malleable and transformable

Just like you have known for a long time that mages can use their own magic value to charge some magic buildings and equipment, magic energy and elemental magic are essentially the same thing.

All spell casters require elemental magic

If the spell model is the 'skeleton', then the elemental magic is the 'flesh and blood' that fills it in and gives the magic its substantive effect.

It should not be difficult for you to understand this statement

So magic technology is essentially a different kind of manipulation and utilization of magic energy.

As an extremely useful war weapon, this transmitter can independently adjust the diameter of the beam, thereby regulating the power of the beam, emission interval and other parameters.

When necessary, it can also carry out cluster overclocking, issuing a long-distance attack with an attack distance of ten kilometers and a basic damage of 10,000+. It can also continuously emit beams, turning the magic energy beam into a sharp sword to sweep out.

Coupled with the functions of four magic plug-ins, it has the characteristics of integrating offense and defense, and can also float and move. It can even choose to self-destruct when it falls, placing the launcher to be captured by the enemy, and at the same time causing a good range of damage.

It's a pity that you came too late. Nine sets have been exchanged by other lords. In the future, you may see the sounds of these alchemical weapons and magic equipment in the disputes between lords.

If not, this guide would at least recommend that you exchange for six sets

Four of them are deployed, the remaining set is dismantled and studied, and the other set is carried with you, which can come in handy many times)

…

"It seems that magic energy technology does still have great potential that can be tapped!"

"In addition, there are potions, alchemy, mechanical engineering, and rune forging. They can all be combined to complement each other and form the technological system of the Endless Continent."

"If you put your efforts into research and development to the limit, you can indeed achieve power comparable to the rules of the dimensional world. It is a path with a high ceiling."

Zong Shen's expression remained normal, but his mind was running at high speed.

He already has some understanding of this set of [Level VI Magic Energy Concentrated Emitter (Gold)], and the strategy module also gave it a high evaluation.

It reflects the potential of magic energy technology. Beaming and magic energy bombs are just the tip of the iceberg in the weaponization of magic energy technology. In theory, as long as the magic energy technology is deeply explored, magic energy can be transformed into various elemental attacks.

After all, magic can do that.

Thinking of this, a very appropriate metaphor came to Zong Shen's mind.

Magic energy is like the crude oil resource on earth.

As we all know, crude oil can be turned into fuels such as gasoline and diesel through refining. The by-products produced by the refining process can also be turned into branch products such as asphalt, plastics, chemical fiber materials, synthetic rubber, benzene pharmaceuticals, etc.

The same is true for magic energy. It can be reversely converted into elemental magic power, and then subdivided into various elemental powers. It can also be used as a pure energy filling to complete the spell model to complete the performance of various series and levels of magic, including arcane energy. There is also a mysterious conversion relationship with magic energy.

It is everywhere, wandering in every corner of space, as if relying on the shadow of the main material world, and it is difficult to analyze directly using physical means.

The collection, application and research of magic energy are all derived from each race's talent for sensing elements.

In essence, this knowledge can be said to be the pursuit and research of the principles of magic by intelligent races. The relationship between magic and magic energy technology is like the relationship between animals, insects and mechanical bionics.

The beginning of magic energy technology draws on the principles of magic, including the principles of spell casting and the induction of elemental magic, as well as the principles of building spell models.

Including the manufacturing of magical objects and rune forging technology are related to this aspect.

In this context, magic technology is like a treasure trove with endless potential. Its upper limit is extremely high. Once you master it, you can easily have disaster-level or even dimensional world rule-level power.

Of course, it's not easy to do this.

At least the relevant technologies of the Endless Continent in the last era and this era failed to achieve breakthroughs, but this road should be feasible.

Thinking of the future of magic energy technology, Zong Shen couldn't help but lick his lips.

Combined with Alpha's previous suggestive behavior, it was not difficult for him to guess that after digging deeper in this direction, there should be some secrets hidden.

Now that he knows what's going on, he will naturally make other arrangements.

A special project will be established for the promotion and research of magic energy technology, and talents in this field will be recruited immediately after the challenge is over.

He wants to bring together all the relevant talents in the Endless Continent.

In addition to magic energy technology, he will not let go of various derivative technologies.

Alpha, who was standing not far away, narrowed his eyes and looked at Zong Shen with a complicated expression.

It is no secret that magic energy technology can reversely deduce the nature of elemental magic.

Most outstanding lords will vigorously research this as long as they can survive the third act. In theory, the upper limit of magic technology is the same as the upper limit of elemental magic.

But Alpha knew that things were not that simple.

It's just that some things need to be seen with one's own eyes. All he can do now is give a little guidance and see if Zong Shen can achieve what he wants in advance...

At this time, Zong Shen suddenly turned around, and Alpha's expression also changed instantly, from a calm inspection and interesting observation to a gentle smile that was friendly and respectful before.

"By the way, Alpha..."

Zong Shen spoke, and Alpha leaned forward slightly to listen.

"Can you conjure a target here?"

He stated his request.

"target?"

"Do you want to test the power of this launcher?"

Alpha quickly reacted and knew that Zong Shen wanted to test the power of the cluster launcher.

Zong Shen nodded. He was indeed itchy and wanted to see how powerful the concentrated magic energy could be.

Whether it was the crossbow that condensed the magic energy or the magic energy bullet, he had some concepts in his mind.

Beam weapons were different at that time. Before Earth's arrival, high-energy beam weapons were still in their infancy. They were mainly used for air defense. They had not yet been able to truly create a high-damage laser with actual combat value, let alone Beam weapons such as "death ray", "particle cannon", and "electromagnetic energy beam" in science fiction concepts.

So he couldn't wait to try the power of the launcher and experience its operation. Anyway, there was still a lot of redemption time left, and there were only a few redemption options, which was enough for him to take up part of his time to study this issue.

Alpha raised a finger.

"Please pay 200 challenge points..."

Zong Shen nodded and directly chose to pay without bargaining.

After receiving the points, the mysterious businessman Alpha raised his right hand and snapped his fingers.

The originally dimly lit mysterious hall suddenly became brighter.

The space in front of Zong Shen was like an unfolded folded page of paper, rapidly extending into the distance.

After a few seconds, it extended for several kilometers.

At this time, Alpha had a crystal ball in his hand. He raised his hand and threw it to Zong Shen, and introduced it leisurely.

"Please hold the crystal ball. You have up to fifteen minutes."

"With a crystal ball you can turn an imaginary enemy in your mind into a target."

"It can be manifested up to three times, and the number at a time cannot exceed 10,000. The upper limit of the strength of a single entity cannot exceed the high-level legend."

Zong Shen casually took the crystal ball and immersed himself in it.

Soon, targets began to appear in the area about three kilometers ahead.

A total of exactly 10,000 crypt troops appeared.

Among them are [Fang Worms], [Crypt Zombies], [Crypt Bats], [Suture Monsters], and [Gargoyles].

But the strength is not high, it is basically the same as the original crypt challenge, it is a castrated and weakened version of the crypt monster.

These targets are so vivid that there is almost no flaw in their appearance.

However, as targets, they do not move, but have the attributes Zong Shen imagined, mainly health and dual resistance.

Zong Shen held the crystal ball and looked at the target in the distance with great satisfaction.

As he thought, the mysterious businessman Alpha definitely has great authority in the mysterious palace, and it has become his little world.

After completing the realization of the target, Zong Shen jumped up and landed accurately on the console.

He first put the crystal ball aside, took out a piece of [Super Magic Crystal (Purple)] containing 100,000 points of magic energy from the storage compartment, placed it in the charging port and charged it at a rate of 100 points per second. Can operate.

After waiting for 100 seconds, the transmitter's magic energy reserve reached 10,000 points, which was enough for him to test.

After all, Zong Shen didn't intend to activate the [Cluster Overclocking] and [Continuous Output] active skills here that required hundreds of durability points to be lost.

After charging is completed, the launch button lights up red.

He pushed the main control lever, and the semi-arc mirror and magic energy collector in front began to rotate.

After just a brief introduction, he basically mastered the operation of the transmitter.

A dark red focused light spot appeared in front of the control console, which was the crosshair of the cluster launcher. Zong Shen aimed it at the target group of cave monsters three kilometers away.

Then the attack safety was released, and the light emitted by the launch button changed from red to green.

"Snapped!"

He tapped it lightly with his palm and the button sank.

Three dark red rays of light suddenly appeared in front of them. These three rays of light quickly gathered and expanded. It took only three seconds to complete the condensation, and then a beam of light with a diameter of five centimeters flew out.

The surrounding space was instantly scorched, and Zong Shen even smelled a unique smell similar to ozone!

The length of the beam cannot be distinguished, and the speed after it is shot is so fast that it is difficult to catch with the naked eye. This speed has far exceeded the speed of the wind blade and other wind spirit magic.

Zong Shen only saw a dark red light disappearing in front of his eyes.

Then twelve damage values ​​appeared from the target in the distance.

A beam of five centimeters in diameter is already the smallest beam size for a cluster emitter.

It only consumes 100 points of magic energy and can cause more than 300 points of penetrating damage and more than 400 points of magic burning damage to the target.

For the imaginary target based on the monster originally challenged in the crypt, it has an instant kill effect.

Then, Zong Shen selected the maximum power output on the console.

The front mirror lit up again, and the three dark red light spots that appeared this time were obviously much larger, and their gathering time was also much longer.

It took a full minute for the attack to be completed.

I saw a beam of light with a diameter of fifty centimeters flying out.

The heat wave set off came oncoming, making Zong Shen feel a little hot.

The huge beam of light shot into the target group, causing twelve high amounts of damage, including more than 600 points of piercing damage and more than 1,000 points of cluster burning damage!

At this point in the test, Zong Shen basically has an idea.

As for the more special effects of the magic energy beam, I'd better leave it to Tiezi to study after the challenge is over.

He put away the [Super Magic Crystal (Purple)], which still had 90,000 points of magic energy reserves, and threw the crystal ball back into Alpha's hands.

He jumped down vigorously, and then waved to Alpha.

"Okay, I don't have to try anymore."

After saying that, he took out the [Pascal Covenant's Big Bag (Gold)], opened the storage portal, and put the [Level VI Magic Energy Concentrated Emitter (Gold)] in front of him into the storage space.

Zong Shen's current challenge point balance is [3429572], which should be enough to support the next consumption.

He returned to the original place and controlled the exchange interface in front of him with his mind.

Now all three sub-options within the branch option [General Combat Type] - [Mana Energy/Rune Alchemy Technology Consumption] have been viewed and redeemed.

Due to being a step late, Zong Shen only found some leftovers here. It was a bit of leftovers to eat, but there was nothing he could do.

Choosing to challenge and reopen admittedly won him 199% of the reward settlement benefits, but it also left some potential small hidden dangers, and overall it was not a big impact.

In the future, there will be the mysterious businessman Beta, and Zong Shen will not worry about running out of points.

Return to the [General Combat Class] option.

Next comes the exchange of [Magic Machinery].

Zong Shen just hopes that there will be no more limited edition models.

With a slight trepidation, he unfolded this option.

【Magical Machinery】

…

[Second-level magic machine (auxiliary type)]

[Third-level magic machine (auxiliary type)]

[Level 4 magic machine (auxiliary type)]

[Level 5 magic machine (auxiliary type)]

…

There are a total of second to fifth level auxiliary magic machines available for selection and exchange.

It includes two mainstream types: magic mechas and magic vehicles.

There is no purchase restriction here, after all, they are all auxiliary, and there are no attack-type magic machines.

But there aren’t really many to choose from.

Zong Shen had previously redeemed a batch of magic machines during the Winter Challenge.

So after some selection, he still selected a batch of magic machines as redemption targets. After all, these things are productivity!

The first is the multiple upgraded models of the [Heavy Bearer Mecha].

The fifth-level [Land-Traveling Ark Vehicle (Orange)], this magic mecha also uses a crawler structure and uses four [rare-level magic cores] as power.

It has far higher load capacity and passability than the [Loader Mecha].

Even the maneuvering speed has been greatly improved.

The body length is 12 meters, the chassis width is 6.2 meters, and the track width is 1.5 meters on one side.

There are two sets of front and rear tracks. Even if there is partial damage, the drive will not be affected, but the speed will be reduced.

The maximum load weight reaches 120 tons, and the height above the ground reaches three meters.

This kind of load capacity has reached the level of the "100-ton King" truck on the earth.

It is more than enough to carry for territory construction.

Space storage props are naturally more efficient, but they are not readily available. The storage grids of heroic talents can only be stacked with a thousand resources. There is no problem in dealing with the early resource collection and construction, but in production and construction Now that they are getting bigger and bigger, these high-debt magic energy vehicles are still very useful.

The exchange price for this thing is not cheap. A single unit reaches 1,500 points, which is comparable to a sixth-level magic bomb!

But Zong Shen still gritted his teeth and exchanged 20 cars for them!

After all, bombs are only one-time use, but a good magic vehicle can be used for a long, long time if repaired.

The [Heavy Bearer Mecha] and [Level IV Magic Energy Drilling Machine] currently in the territory are still in service after many repairs.

Moreover, these [Land-Traveling Ark Vehicles (Orange)] can not only be used as transportation vehicles, but can also be modified as vehicle combat platforms. In terms of the loading space above, it is absolutely no problem to install five or six magic artillery pieces.

As long as he cashes it out, Zong Shen won't worry about these big guys not being able to come in handy.

Twenty [Land-Traveling Ark Vehicles (Orange)] are neatly arranged in the extended open space in front. Looking at the appearance alone, they look like small crawler mine carts, square and meticulous.

In fact, with his current points, he can completely exchange for more, but there is no need, because Zong Shen understands that the development of the territory is not static.

In the future, he can obtain magic machinery in this area from the channels of Endless Continent.

We need to conduct further disassembly research and strive to master the core technology!

It would be even better if we could obtain finished drawings of relevant components of this type of magic machinery in the future. The Lord's Privilege has advantages in construction and manufacturing that are difficult for aborigines to match.

The overall efficiency has exceeded that of a conventional workshop, but it is not as efficient as a modern assembly line.

In addition to these [Land-Traveling Ark Vehicles (Orange)], he also exchanged twenty level five [Magic Drilling Machines (Orange)].

The performance parameters of the fifth-level drilling machine are definitely much better than those of the fourth-level drilling machines that Zong Shen has on hand.

In the future, it will be used for large-scale repairs of the [Azshara Sewer Underground Fortress], as well as for exploring the [Azshara Mine], [Azshara Mountain Bunker] and [Bone Bunker], and it can also be used to build underground fortifications. .

Suitable for construction, exploration and excavation, mining, etc.

The exchange price is slightly more expensive than Land Traveling Ark by 300 points, and the exchange for twenty vehicles cost a total of 36,000 challenge points!

The third type of [Magic Machinery] he exchanged in the future was rather special.

Previously, the machines I exchanged were all for land-based machines, but now this one is for swimming in the water. The price is astonishing and the size is not small, so Zong Shen only exchanged three machines——

——[Level V general-purpose magic energy paddle steamer (orange)]

The length is 29 meters, the belly width is 6.4 meters, the depth is 2.45 meters, the length-to-width ratio is about 5.37, and the width-to-depth ratio is about 2.20.

It's not a big ship, but it is powered by magic energy.

There are paddle wheels driven by magic energy cores on both sides, which can be regarded as liberating manpower.

Can also be equipped with an additional sail.

Suitable for navigation needs in offshore and inland rivers.

The keel frame of the ship's hull is made of rune-forged metal, but the grade is not high.

Part of the main body is made of lightweight wood, which can be replaced and repaired at any time. The overall defense capability is very average, but it also has a magic energy shield function, which is an additional supplement to the defense capability.

The exchange price for each [Level V general-purpose magic energy paddle steamer (orange)] reached 16,000 points, far exceeding the exchange price for equipment and land vehicles of the same level.

Those limited orange legendary equipment are only worth thousands of points.

These three paddle boats alone cost him 48,000 challenge points.

After his points were deducted, three ships appeared, and three small port docks suddenly appeared in the open space in front of them, the kind that really carry water.

Such magical spatial changes give it a sense of creation.

He looked at Alpha, who just shrugged, indicating that it was nothing.

Except for these three kinds of [Magic Machinery], the others don't really catch his eye.

Anyway, these things are not out of print, and there is really no need to redeem too many at once!
