Chapter 430 Plant Mimicry: Green Dragon
Locke said to the steel golems: "Start testing."
Suddenly, the eye sockets of the ten steel golems cast red sights towards him, and red light spots appeared on Locke's body, indicating that they had locked their target on Locke.
Alicia stood in the safe area of the test room. The green circle position represented absolute safety. No golem would attack this green circle position.
Alicia said: "Locke, you have to be careful. The logic of fighting these mechanical alchemy androids is completely different from the logic of fighting human wizards!"
At the same time, what Locke didn’t expect was that the ten steel golems, whose entire bodies were forged from fine steel, did not move as slowly as the apprentice-level golems, like sluggish giants. Instead, the gears on their backs rotated, making a frightening cold meshing sound, and then six metal exhaust pipes appeared on their backs.
The six metal exhaust pipes, in an instant, erupted a huge amount of hot steam, scorching the ground until it was deformed.
At the same time, the ten steel demons swooped in, like ten cars driving at high speed on the ground. There were even rotating wheels under their feet, assisting them in traveling at high speed, and crashed towards Locke.
『Is this the first-stage golem created by the alchemist? Before Locke could react, he was surrounded by ten golems. The steel golems raised their steel tomahawks and slashed at Locke. At the same time, there was an exhaust pipe behind the steel tomahawk, which emitted an amazing amount of hot steam in an instant to increase the kinetic energy of the steel tomahawk.
『Bang~』
With the sound of a huge explosion, a pair of banana wings that looked like green dragon wings appeared behind Locke - the Big Green Leaf Dragon Bird!
With a dragon-like roar, Locke flew in the sky, easily avoiding the attacks of ten steel golems.
The botanical flying spell he currently uses is no longer the universal banana wings, but the plant mimicry spell jointly developed with the botanical wizards from the Land of Six Towers: Green Dragon.
Thanks to the excellence of the Great Green Leaf Dragon Bird, although this spell is designed to be average, it still allows Locke to gain almost the fastest mobility in the first stage.
Locke was flying in mid-air, like a real green dragon, with dragon power spreading in all directions, but the ten steel golems actually completely ignored the magic dragon power of this spiritual school.
Mechanical construct, can it ignore the magic of the illusion school and the psychic school? ” Locke reacted quickly. "The Mekanians are more advanced constructed life forms than these steel golems. Fighting against these steel golems has really benefited me a lot." 』
At the same time, the steam exhaust pipes on the backs of the steel golems on the ground all turned downwards. At the same time, two arms popped out of the steel glider wings and actually flew up from the ground. The red light in their eyes continued to aim at Locke's body and chased towards the target.
Locke doesn't really care. Although these steel golems can fly and transform into flying steel golems, their speed is too slow.
Locke flew with them in the sky for a while, testing the plant mimicry technique: the green dragon cooperated with the flying limit ability of the big green leaf dragon bird, and at the same time observing the fighting style of these steel golems.
I saw a muzzle exposed on the chest of these steel golems, constantly firing a material called [Vulcan Crystal] developed by the alchemists in the air at themselves. Once this material comes into contact with the air, it will turn into flames and cause an explosion. Therefore, it is used by the alchemists as a weapon to attack the golems.
Locke looked at the golem behind him, "Indeed, the logic of fighting these constructs is completely different. These constructs are not essentially living beings, nor are they wizards."
"Their defense relies on multiple layers of different magic materials on the body surface, using magic alloy + magic ceramic steel to simulate the wizard's permanent defensive force field."
"Their mobility comes from the mechanical transmission device and the magic steam transmission device set up by the alchemist in their bodies. There should be a small solar array in their bodies, which burns fuel to drive these demons all the time."
"Their attack power comes from the power provided by the magic steam transmission device, as well as the "In other words, these steel golems have the characteristics of super long stamina, stable output, and stable defense. When fighting wizards, the emphasis is on seizing the opportunity to win the battle quickly."
h "But these flying steel golems are the type of frontal attack and steady attack. Fighting them is a war of attrition."
Locke took out some toxin-like potions from the astral ring and threw them behind him, but they were completely ignored by the golems.
"Immune to poison, immune to fire, immune to psychic damage, high armor, high resistance, mobility is straight forward, slightly insufficient flexibility, but the more advanced Mechanicans may not have solved this flexibility problem."
Locke thought quickly, in this way, if it is a competition against the Mechanicans, then there is no need to consider a large part of the poison-type magic in the botanical magic.
There is also magic that affects the mind, which does not need to be considered.
Locke thought for a moment and threw a bottle of rust potion behind him. As a result, those potions did not work on the steel golem.
Locke thought for a moment and then understood, "Its surface armor is a certain type of magic ceramic steel."
"It's really tricky. It is indeed the ultimate war weapon developed by alchemists, and a subdivided magic category that a three-ring wizard has studied all his life - golemology. It is indeed very profound."
In essence, golemology is the magical version of robotics.
The number of new articles and results published in this discipline is increasing every year, and the discipline is becoming larger and larger.
"Alicia, let the full-metal demon incubation workshop in the sky release some golems. From level 2 to level 6, all choose steel golems, and select the specialized flying type."
"Only in this way can I better understand the combat characteristics of the steel golem among the golems of the alchemists."
Alicia in the safe zone was stunned for a moment. "Do you want to release it again? Isn't it too dangerous?"
"No, I want to believe Locke. Then please bring out the complete set of flying steel golems."
She hesitated for a moment, but still followed Locke’s idea and released two hundred flying steel golems at once from the full-metal demon incubation workshop.
Suddenly, pipes appeared in the metal eggshells in the sky, and flying steel golems were released one after another. At the moment they fell to the ground, the mechanical gears in the body rotated, and the sun formation furnace continuously output hot steam. Those terrible war golems made of various magic metals that were four or five stories high were flying in the sky.
Furthermore, what worries Locke is that the two hundred golems this time are a complete golem army, with a strict division of labor and cooperation.
Eighty steel golems of different levels are ground golems, eighty steel golems of different levels are specialized aerial golems in the shape of gargoyles, and twenty golems are equipped with some kind of magic cannon developed by alchemists.
There are twenty golems that caught Locke's attention. They seem to be backup golems. They have ten humanoid hands and hold various repair tools in their hands. They seem to be able to assist, assist and repair during the battle.
Locke looked at the complete army of golems in front of him and felt the impact of a systematic war.
"The Flying Steel Golem Army is not only highly durable and suitable for frontal combat, but also has a strict division of labor, complete tactics, and standard parts. If any damage occurs in battle, it can be replaced with standard parts to further improve its endurance. "High." Locke thought: "This means that wizards will become more vulnerable in terms of endurance when fighting against steel golems."
"So, when it comes to dealing with the combat magic plants of these mechanical constructs, these characteristics need to be taken into consideration."
"But..."
Facing the flying golems trying to surround him, Locke's magic pressure continued to rise. Every banana leaf of the Big Green Leaf Dragon Bird was trembling, as if to express his joy. At the same time, a spiritual shadow of a green dragon appeared behind Locke.
Plant Mimicry will simulate the original green dragon's spirituality until the end. What's more, Locke really has the blood of a true dragon in his body. The spirituality in his blood overflows, strengthening this Plant Mimicry.
The Great Green Leaf Dragon Bird is nourished and becomes stronger.
Facing the attack of the flying steel golems, Locke freely shuttled among these flying steel golems, allowing them to constantly adjust their exhaust pipes in an attempt to pursue him.
"It's too slow. One of the shortcomings of these large golems is that they are huge and not very flexible." Locke looked at the twenty golems with magic cannons set up below. At this time, because he was mixed with the steel gargoyles, those golems were completely unable to attack him.
The Vulcan Crystals of the ground golems did not dare to fire at themselves.
"This flying golem army will be very powerless against the miniaturized enemy troops with high mobility." Locke saw this keenly. "But the reason why they are built so big is not because they are designed to be so big, but because the magic steam and solar formation furnaces in their bodies cannot be miniaturized, otherwise the power output will be insufficient."
“That’s right, if you want to get close to the energy of a first-level wizard, you have to make it bigger and bigger, otherwise it will not be able to provide energy equivalent to the first-level level.” Locke looked at two of the level 6 golems. The two level 6 golems were almost as tall as a dozen floors. They were like giants. Every move they made could drive the air around like a tidal wave.
The flying method used by ordinary wizards is likely to be disturbed by the air flow brought by the other party, but the Big Green Leaf Dragon Bird can surrender all the winds, so it has no effect on itself.
"In order to increase the energy output, these golems can only increase in size. The energy core of the level 6 golem seems to be the solar furnace, but the transmission system is no longer hot steam, but some kind of high-temperature flame. This innovation in the transmission system has slightly reduced the tendency of the level 6 golem to become larger, but there are still limitations."
Locke quickly understood.
These golems essentially want to use golemology to simulate wizards, but they are limited by energy and energy transmission, energy loss in the process, and the most important reason of simulating a permanent defensive force field. As a result, these golems can only get bigger and bigger.
This is also normal.
The first-level wizard is a race transcender, and the manufacturing technology of the golem must also overcome such a powerful force to come together and use engineering technology to simulate a race transcendence. The result is that the creation will become bigger and bigger.
"By the way, miniaturization technology is almost impossible for golems at this stage. None of the works of the three-ring wizard in the one-ring crystallization stage when he was young can solve this problem."
Locke thought: "Although the Mekanians are They are intelligent races that construct life forms that escaped from the laboratories of second-level wizards, but they are probably still very large. "
"In terms of energy utilization efficiency, golems have always been inferior to first-level wizards. Therefore, it is impossible to be as small as a wizard."
"So we can only use increased volume to make up for the low energy utilization, high loss, and low transmission efficiency."
Locke noticed that he hadn't even started fighting these golems. During the battle, the auxiliary golems were quickly replacing joint parts for these golems.
"By the way, because the size is too large, the load on the joints is too great, and the joints are wearing out rapidly. Because the joint technology is not enough, these golems are not flexible enough."
Locke swung the dragon's tail and used the botanical magic [Plant Mimicry: Dragon Tail] developed by his research team. Suddenly, the dragon's tail made of fake wood automatically stretched and hit a flying steel gargoyle like an iron whip.
The gargoyle was suddenly knocked to the ground.
At the same time, Locke threw out some seeds of wireweed, which were scattered in the wind at the joints of the golems. As Locke chanted the spell, all the wireweed grew crazily in the joints of these giant steel-constructed life forms, so that the flexibility of movement of these golems was further reduced, and the workload of those who repaired the golems instantly exploded.
"In the information about the Mechanic people, it is true that they often appear to be huge and need to replace mechanical joints. From this point of view, the Mechanic people also have the shortcomings of these steel golems."
After all, the original technology of the Mechanic people comes from the manufacturing technology of steel golems.
At the same time, Locke flew towards the sky, and the ten diamond succulents that were hovering like disks behind him also automatically fell down and started to rotate in a circle.
“The test is almost done. The extreme data of the Big Blue Leaf Dragon Bird was perfectly tested under the pressure of these level 6 flying golems. It’s time to try the defensive magic [Photosynthesis] I developed for the Golden Eye Grass and the ephemera I developed for the Diamond Succulent. The beetle bomb and the same energy are connected.
The ten diamond succulents crazily absorbed the surrounding light elements and poured them into themselves. And because of Locke's incantation, they were connected to each other, so the scale of the original element pouring was multiplied ten times.
Ten diamond succulents turned into one plant, and because of the special nature of the light element pouring in, it actually doubled in size by ten times, instead of just being slightly enhanced. If other elements were poured in, the effect would never be so good.
In an instant, a huge explosion of light turned into a mushroom cloud.
The intense light explosion turned into the only light in the room, and a large number of golems were blown away.
A stream of air hit the ground and walls, and a defensive barrier automatically rose in the safe zone to protect Alicia. Alicia also covered her eyes with her hands, feeling as if an earthquake had occurred on the ground.
"Locke... the power of your spell is really exaggerated. Wait a minute, Locke, you are still around the explosion range of the spell. Are you okay? Locke?"
At that time, flying in mid-air In the air, Locke had a golden eye grass in front of him, which turned into a golden magic mirror and stood in front of him. The golden eye grass was surrounded by a photosynthesis spell model, which actually blocked the intense light explosion just now and absorbed the light in it.
As Locke chanted the curse, the ray of light suddenly fell to the ground again, hitting the damaged demon statues that were still moving.
Suddenly, the golems exploded.
The entire golem army was destroyed.
Locke let out a breath of air, a look of exhaustion flashed in his eyes.
In this test, apart from not showing a few trump cards, he still tried his best.
Fortunately, whether it is diamond succulent, plant mimicry: green dragon, or photosynthesis magic, the effects are very good.
And I also have a deeper understanding of the strengths and weaknesses of mechanically constructed life forms.
As a weapons designer, this is very important.
Locke stretched out his hand to summon back the diamond succulents. These diamond succulents were half disabled due to excessive power. If not dealt with, they would soon wither and die.
The all-metal demon incubation workshop in the sky quickly dispatched a large number of small non-combat type golems, began to recycle parts, and quickly repaired them in the incubation workshop.
Hence, it doesn’t matter how many golems are destroyed by Locke and Alicia here, they don’t have to pay any money.
Locke used the universal strengthening frequency of the magic co-frequency cultivation method to slightly strengthen the ten diamond succulents, and then quickly transplanted them into his Druid's Ring, ordering his forest sanctuary to share nutrients to the ten diamond succulents to prevent the ten diamond succulents from withering and dying.
"Alicia, I have almost finished the test. You are right, fighting these steel golems is indeed very meaningful, and it has taught me a lot about constructing life forms." Locke said to Alicia: "It's your turn to test."
Alicia looked at the mess here and suddenly smiled bitterly. "Locke, you just polished off all the steel golems in the full-metal demon incubation workshop. We can't choose steel golems for the time being, so I will practice with the flesh golem."
Locke nodded and said: "Ellie Sia, I’ll leave first. I have some projects to do related to your grandfather.”
“I’m afraid I don’t have enough time today.”
ifies.
At the same time, the dwarf alchemist in Joseph's Golem shop felt the vibration on the ground. He immediately looked at the room upstairs, "Is it so exaggerated?"
h "The vibration actually spread to the door of the store on the first floor."
"The wizard Miss Alicia brought this time... As expected, I felt right at first, he is very dangerous."
"Aren't all botanical wizards gentle and gentle? But he is an alien, and he seems to be tougher than me, the alchemist."
