Chapter 126: Microcomputer of the Iron Blood Technology
Chapter 126: Microcomputer of the Iron Blood Technology
"Longmai Spirit has completed the preliminary Longxue Spirit. This project will be postponed for now."
"The research on Hellish Power and Scarlet Elements has merged into Red Prison Elements. We'll set it aside for now; it's sufficient for the time being."
"Self-enhancement? We can talk about that later. My current mana reserves are so substantial that a single Magic Arrow spell outshines a 5th-level spell. We can discuss it in the future."
Qin Muye scribbled in his notebook and quickly selected his next goal.
"Let's go with the Floating City. However, a simple Floating City isn't suitable. I'll handle the Iron Blood Warrior first. If I can obtain Iron Blood Technology, combining it with the Floating City, we can build a space fortress."
"Also, the three new building blueprints for troops that Black Hand sent over. He must have gone through a lot of trouble to get them."
The three new blueprints were for Gargoyles, War Golems, and Titans.
These three can be considered mage-type troops, all of which are puppet types. Gargoyles are the most common, being 1st-tier troops that most mage lords have. War Golems are rarer, being 3rd-tier troops, but they are not too difficult to obtain.
The truly rare one is the Titan, which is roughly a 5th-tier troop on the magical continent, likely obtained from the natives. Such rare troop blueprints are impossible to buy.
In addition, there are a large number of corresponding construction techniques.
Qin Muye was genuinely interested. If the analysis of Iron Blood Technology goes smoothly, these three types of troops will be very useful.
Gargoyles are exoskeleton armor, War Golems are mechs, and Titans are giant constructs.
From single-unit combat to city-level mechs, and then to land-based giant constructs, the combination of magical and technological techniques will make close combat a thing of the past. Have they heard of long-range firepower strikes?
"Great stuff. I should have Black Hand collect more. I remember there are quite a few similar troops and products." Qin Muye knew that mages had more than just beast-type products; they also had normal ones, such as these living puppets.
Qin Muye didn't want living puppets; he planned to use the techniques to create auxiliary equipment for wearing.
If he succeeds, while others are still wielding swords, spears, and staves, Qin Muye will have the spirits wearing Gargoyle armor, piloting War Golem mechs, or even operating Titan giant constructs.
This would be a direct dimensional attack.
After securing the three blueprints and the related knowledge, Qin Muye picked up the Iron Blood Warrior's microcomputer.
Fortunately, "The Lord's Era" has a built-in translation system; otherwise, the text would have been a major headache.
"There isn't much knowledge recorded here. That makes sense; a lone hunter isn't an Iron Blood Elder."
"However, it doesn't matter. My learning ability is so overpowered, and with academic research, I can reverse-engineer it. Combining the technological system of Wenguo with the magical and hellish systems, I can create my own civilization system."
Qin Muye intended to take the best from each and make up for the shortcomings. Besides, with the terrifying universe, if things get tough, he can always find a way when he steps into space in the future.
He had great confidence in his talent.
As for interrogating the Iron Blood Warrior? That's out of the question. The only value is the Iron Blood Warrior race itself.
If Qin Muye could extract the genetic material from the Iron Blood Warrior, similar to how he extracted suitable dragon blood for the spirits, and transplant it to the spirits, giving them corresponding abilities, wouldn't that be better?
"I remember that the Iron Blood Warriors had excellent genetic technology. The Iron Blood Hound is a genetic creature, right?"
Qin Muye recalled the setting from his previous life. There was a hint of it, but he needed to study it further to understand the specifics.
After checking the microcomputer, he found that it was mostly used for auxiliary control of equipment and biological analysis, meaning it was primarily for combat and medical purposes. Fortunately, there were some equipment data, which Qin Muye could analyze and use to manufacture Iron Blood Warrior equipment.
Holding the microcomputer, Qin Muye headed toward the supply warehouse.
The Iron Blood Spaceship was stored there, as there was no other place to put it. Moreover, such an important item couldn't be left out in the open.
For example, most lords, even after experiencing the dungeon, still use magic like the natives.
Qin Muye's large-scale reforms are relatively rare.
The reason is simple: Qin Muye's territory is very pure, consisting entirely of spirits, a type of beast-type humanoid. This applies to both his troops and heroes.
Other lords are different; they don't have Qin Muye's means, so most of their heroes are recruited, which means they are natives.
Being human, they naturally have their own thoughts, so when the number of heroes increases, they naturally form cliques. Some factions even deliberately send people in. While loyalty can be checked, if a hero is too powerful, even with low loyalty, they have to be reluctantly accepted.
This results in the territory being strong in power, but the lord's judgment can be swayed by various external factors.
Moreover, the troops might be swayed by the heroes.
Skeletons and spirits, which have constant morale, won't betray, but troops like elves and dwarves have fluctuating morale because they are living beings. If a hero has low loyalty and ulterior motives, and has the means, they can indeed be turned.
Even among the troops, there are factions. Different types of troops have their own cliques. Even among the spirits under Qin Muye, there are various factions.
Tian Qi disapproves of Black Hand's methods, and the Blood Demon faction wants to fight everyone. Evil Tongue is always mumbling about death and curse magic, and no one likes him. There are also various life-related professions that operate independently.
Unless it involves Qin Muye and the territory's interests, the spirits don't pay much attention to each other.
This is even more true for different types of troops. For example, the True Dragon Emperor, who is skilled in politics, can balance the troops under him. His troops are all dragon-related, and some dragons are natural enemies, yet they remain orderly, demonstrating his ability.
The Undead Lord might fare better, being of the undead race. As long as he has the power, he doesn't have to worry about his heroes and troops rebelling.
The worst off is likely the Demon Subduer. Qin Muye has heard that his troops and heroes are demons and devils, all cunning and treacherous. The highest loyalty of his heroes probably doesn't exceed 50 points.
They are bound by interests, and the Demon Subduer has enough power; otherwise, he would have been devoured long ago. Hence the name Demon Subduer; if he can't subdue them, he would be gone.
These lords are not suited to Qin Muye's path. They need sufficient military power to deter external enemies and control their territory.
Qin Muye lacks power but has a group of loyal spirits protecting him. Even if the spirits don't get along, they will work together and not harm Qin Muye or the territory's interests. This is why he started with such a handicap.
In the later stages of development, this spirit is quite rare, especially as the territory grows. It can become bloated, but this is not a significant issue for Qin Muye.
As long as it aligns with Qin Muye and the territory's interests, Tian Qi might disapprove of Black Hand's methods but will still execute his administrative orders.
This is the difference.
Therefore, many lords secretly cultivate spirits, hoping to replicate Qin Muye's spirit territory, but most have failed. They found that spirits are truly weak, and even those who, like Qin Muye, took on the role of scholars, lack the learning ability talent, making progress too slow.
Additionally, spirits have been obsolete for many years, and because they are weak, no one has further researched them, making them a pitfall for other lords.
As the saying goes, those who learn from me will live, those who merely imitate will die.
As for the natives, they haven't considered researching spirits. They don't have troop buildings; a spirit is just a garden spirit, which is not a good trade. To trade a garden spirit for a spirit would be a significant loss.
They also don't consider buying spirits from lords because non-self-made spirits will never be loyal to them, only to the original owner, something they already know.
So, while it's not impossible to replicate Qin Muye's spirits, it's quite difficult. Moreover, Qin Muye's spirits are only named as such; they have long since diverged from being spirits and are more like newly born beast-type humanoids.
