Extraordinary Puppet Master

Four hours later, Carlin and Banyan Tree slowly opened their eyes.

For them, four hours of deep meditation is enough to recover from all fatigue.

When Karin possessed Amiya with a refreshed look on his face, his eyes immediately lit up.

After switching to Amiya's perspective, she immediately turned around and saw a four-legged steel beast approaching from the distance.

The giant beast exhaled steam like white mist, and its four slender mechanical legs crawled firmly on the snowy field step by step. The footprints it made stretched all the way to an unknown place in the distance.

The world was silent, leaving only steam echoing in the pure white world.

Bang - Bang - Bang -

This silly, black and thick-looking steam machine looks like it has been specially designed. Its four legs hold the main part up high. The main part is more than five meters above the ground, and four flexible jointed mechanical arms extend from the body.

It is completely designed for the ice and steam calendar environment. You don’t have to worry about the thick snow on the ground hindering the movement of the machine.

Amiya immediately became energetic after seeing this steam quadruped robot.

The steps of the four-legged robot may seem cumbersome, but each step covers a long distance and the speed is not slow. Carlin visually estimated that the speed exceeded 30 kilometers per hour.

Amiya stood quietly until the four-legged steam robot passed her, then followed closely behind it, preparing to follow it all the way.

Because the world is now completely white, Karin doesn’t know where his new home settlement is.

For now, we can only let Amiya follow this steam quadruped robot to see where its destination is.

This robot is equipped with a steam core, and there is a modified space cargo compartment inside, with a volume of about two thousand cubic meters.

It can be regarded as an extraordinary version of an intelligent robot. It can be used as a freight vehicle and can also operate some equipment in the factory. It is a perfect worker that does not require wages, and can even serve as a thug.

Now this machine is following unknown instructions, but its intelligence seems very rigid, completely ignoring Amiya who is following behind.

Amiya's eyes penetrated directly through the metal shell of the robot, carefully observing its internal structure, especially the steam core as the center.

Karin quickly sketched the three-dimensional structural diagram of the steam core in his mind. The seemingly simple structure was filled with extremely complex mechanical designs.

A watermelon-sized volume is equipped with a steam energy pack that can store ultra-high pressure and ultra-high temperature, and output steam kinetic energy with its exaggerated efficiency.

There were constant sounds of whistles coming from the back of the robot, and it was spitting out hot steam.

In addition to the energy system, there is also a core component - the small differential engine structural component. It is this component that implements complex intelligent and fully automatic instructions.

This is a black technology product mixed with a lot of extraordinary elements.

The steam energy package and the small differential mechanism components are the two core components of the steam core.

Carlin compared the design differences between this Second Age steam core and the Fourth Age Skaven Steam Core.

He soon discovered that the steam core of the quadruped robot seemed to be a work of art handmade by a master. It had a very strong personal style and was definitely not a product on the assembly line.

The Skryre clan's steam core can be mass-produced on the assembly line. Although the output is rare, it is still a standard industrial product.

This can be seen from the material composition, internal structure design and carved formations.

The core of steam in the second era is completely powerful flying bricks. The combination of technology and transcendence is very incomplete. It is obvious that two distinct things are forcibly brought together.

The power is completely achieved by the exquisite magic circle and powerful extraordinary materials, and the production craftsmanship is also at the master level.

This is a piece of art that has been carefully polished, although the quality cannot be said to be much better than the mass-produced goods of the Fourth Era. One can rival five or six of the Skryre clan.

But there is a huge disadvantage - the cost is very high.

It is not universal. There are only a very small number of extraordinary people who can possess this kind of craftsmanship. Of course, the output is also very, very, very rare.

As for the steam cores of the Skrei clan in the Fourth Age, even some special models can be mass-produced in the alchemy workshop. They are all specially designed and carefully designed to achieve various indicators while also saving a lot of costs.

Relying on design to make up for the shortcomings of materials and magic circles, the quality of a single piece was beaten by the Second Era, but the price/performance ratio was beaten by the opponent.

The difference between the two different eras can be seen from the design of this robot. It is only the second era now. At this time, let alone the alchemists of the sage path, even the wizards are still missing.

Making extraordinary items depends entirely on the hands of extraordinary beings. If you want to mechanize the assembly line operation, it is something that can only be dreamed of.

The ability of extraordinary beings in this era to produce high-end products such as steam cores and four-legged steam robots was beyond Karin's expectations.

He had even thought that this era was still in the medieval era when knights and lords were popular, and steam technology did not even have a shadow.

However, this cannot deny the craftsmanship of the extraordinary beings of the Second Era. At least Karin, who can forcefully rub out this steam core with his hands, feels that he is far inferior.

Carlin looked at the four-legged robot and suddenly felt a burst of inspiration in his mind. He returned directly to the virtual kingdom of God and studied the structure of the machine with relish.

From time to time, some experiments are conducted on the alchemy table, trying to analyze the effects of some unknown magic circles inside the quadruped robot.

While he was studying the quadruped robot, Amiya followed the quadruped robot like a shadow.

As a tutor, her speed and resistance are much stronger than those of the banyan tree. She can survive at least three days in such a harsh environment before her body becomes exhausted.

As we walked along, time passed by unconsciously.

Amiya allowed the raging wind and snow to remain unmoved.

She followed the four-legged robot through plains, hills and other terrains, and even crossed a frozen river, and finally followed it into a valley a full day later.

Just when Amiya was wondering what the four-legged robot was going to do, she felt a burst of detection waves coming from the other side.

Then the four-legged robot seemed to have detected something. After walking for a while, it suddenly stopped. The main body began to deform with a crunching sound of metal rotation, and a huge shovel extended from the head.

Amiya realized something, and she also used her spirituality to sense what was beneath the snow beneath her feet.

Soon she sensed a large coal mine. This valley was an open-pit coal mine, and the grade was not low.

At this time, the four-legged robot suddenly emitted fiery waves, and the snow within ten meters around it began to melt rapidly, soon revealing dark coal seams.

Immediately afterwards, the shovel began to dig, and a hole was suddenly opened on the back of the main body, which was directly connected to the space cargo hold. A basket full of coal was thrown directly into the hole.

Amiya just watched quietly as the four-legged robot mined efficiently.

The four-legged robot will not stay in the same place for too long. After digging a few shovels, it will move to another place.

In addition to a large amount of coal mines each time, a high-value associated mineral - inkstone - can also be mined.

Inkstone is an energy mineral like coal and is generally associated with coal mines.

The energy contained in graphite per unit volume is more than 700 times that of coal. It is stable in nature and has a high ignition point. It only burns and releases energy under specific high pressure and high temperature. It is a perfect fossil fuel.

However, in the Sixth Era, ink stone was usually used as a raw material for making energy crystals, and was not directly used as fuel. Only in this way can it maximize its value and ensure that energy is not wasted.

Karin is not sure what the condition of the inkstone in the Second Age is.

However, in this era without the Sage's Path, Carlin estimated that ink stone might be simply and crudely burned as a fossil fuel like coal, which would waste at least half of the energy.

The quadruped robot's work efficiency is very high. In just half a day, the two thousand cubic meters of cargo space was filled, and a total of nearly three thousand tons of coal and two tons of inkstone were collected.

The four-legged robot with its cargo compartment filled with satisfaction put away its shovel and left the valley with its clumsy and high-speed steps.

Amiya immediately followed closely behind the four-legged robot and followed the snowy path it made.

The four-legged robot came from nowhere, its steps on the snow were extremely firm, and Carlin didn't know where it was going.
