Lu Mingfei challenges FGO

40. Unicorn stands tall on the earth

The wind and clouds were surging, and a powder keg that had been prepared for a long time was on the verge of detonating, driven by various forces.

Lu Mingfei knew nothing about this. He said it was freedom, but he and Prelati had nothing to do at night, and they didn't dare to get into trouble as soon as they came over, because they didn't need sleep to replenish their energy. Out of boredom, he simply agreed to Agguiwen's proposal. , assisting in the development of armored cavalry in the experimental field,

Strictly speaking, the mechas in the Holy Capital are not mechas, let alone mechas, and they are not even considered robots.

According to Prelati, these decent-looking things are essentially just using the technology used to make Grems—golems and the like—to make a huge piece of armor.

It's just that this armor is big enough to be driven by a robot, but it is not a robot.

Technically there was nothing noteworthy - or anything that would make Chaldea's eyes shine.

but.

"This thing is much easier to use than mechas in actual combat," Prelati added.

Although it cannot be compared with a real machine god, nor can it be compared with the ultimate golem, Avisbron's 'EVANGELION', it is more reliable than most of the 'mechanical weapons' in loose science fiction stories. Much.

Because this thing is essentially a huge piece of armor.

There is no fancy technology, it is simple but reliable.

But Prelati also said: "Although the actual combat performance is excellent, it can only be used to improve the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers, right? Want to rely on something of this level to bridge the gap between the Knights of the Round Table and Achilles? Impossible."

Prelati, who used illusions to dress herself up as an engineer, got into the interior of the armored cavalry Lancelot. While adjusting the magic array in the details of the internal mechanism, she turned on the free microphone and chatted with Lu Mingfei outside.

"Strictly speaking, this thing has nothing to do with practicality, because if you want to really improve your combat effectiveness, you need to use regular and reliable magic materials. Atlas Institute has already fully equipped this type of technology. , but material science issues have always limited this kind of equipment. It is simple to build one or two as a 'wonder' or 'handicraft', but it is a fantasy to install it on a large scale.

How do you say that? I don’t have the money to study a basket magic trick, and the reason is basically the same. "

"Then why did you say that this thing has excellent actual combat performance?" Lu Mingfei jumped up and down outside Lancelot, and according to Prelati's instructions, he helped adjust the magic parameters of this armored cavalry outside.

"I told you, this is not a rare technology, according to the modern academic timeline."

Prelaty paused.

"Well - the Stone Age, yes, almost in the world of the 'Stone Age', humans have already mastered the technology of making this kind of super large golem. The golem technology can even be said to be one of the origin technologies of human civilization. What do you mean? The pyramids we saw are essentially a type of golem. It's just that the magic codes of the old era have experienced the natural environment several times from the 'prehistoric era' to the 'mythological era' and then to the 'humanistic era'. After the major and minor version updates, the code from the old era has long been unable to adapt to the current system environment and has become a pile of data garbage that can no longer be driven by those golems."

"Well" Lu Mingfei tilted his head, "What does this have to do with the practicality of this thing you mentioned earlier?"

"It's very simple. Let's put it this way, golem technology is a technology that humans first pointed out. Even before the era of god rule, every tribe must have at least one giant golem weapon-anyone that can't be used will be destroyed. Annexed or destroyed, when alien gods—such as the Greek Mecha-gods—first came to Earth, the first challenge they had to face was these golems.”

When Lu Mingfei heard this, a picture suddenly appeared in his mind of a super ancient era, where primitive people wearing animal skins drove something like the 'Light Envoy' or the 'Dragon God' to fight Transformers.

Or the Tianyuan breakthrough battle against the Tianting or something.

Prelati continued: "But even though it has such a long history and is related to survival issues, golem technology has been developing - but it has never been 'popularized'. Can you understand it using a computer as an analogy? Computers The essence of a computer is a computer. The initial size and cost of a computer were astronomical, but with the advancement of civilization and the continuous advancement of technology, modern computers have become a daily product that can be seen everywhere."

Lu Mingfei thought about it and felt that this was correct.

"Then why didn't Stone Age humans popularize stone statues?"

"Because there were no suitable raw materials, the giant golem was a decisive battle weapon on a tribal-or national scale at that time. It was meaningless to build it on a smaller scale. If it was larger, it would be too expensive for normal people to afford, so we could only use it as a national weapon. Even if civilization is developed as a unit, because it is related to survival issues, the stronger the materials, the better - the golems with insufficient materials were destroyed, and even the technologies of the losers were lost."

Lu Mingfei was suddenly curious: "Are there any examples of miniaturization?"

"Miniature. Miniaturization is basically the golem technology mixed with other technologies, and now it is classified into other subjects. For example," Prelaty thought for a while, "Yeah, that's right. , Nezha! Nezha, you know, right?"

"Nezha is okay. I finally understand. This thing has been technically possible for a long time, but it's because we can't find so many materials and it's expensive."

"Also, after the general environment version is updated, most of the old version's decisive weapons are no longer effective."

Prelati added.

"The super large golem is not only the golem technology itself, but also the crystallization of all the accumulated technology of that country and that civilization. Who can bear it if it is completely destroyed in one version update? It is not such a waste to waste materials. , so the Mediterranean civilization was quickly replaced by the technology of the Greek Mechatronics."

Prelati shook her head.

"The ocean was a place to obtain precious mineral resources in the ancient times. During the Trojan War, after the Trojans were defeated, they fled and established Rome. These ancient technological residues also spread to all parts of the world with Rome. Oh, by the way, there are actually many ancient church facilities. And so on, all built according to the standards of golem weapons, these things are the prototypes of Saint King Karl’s mobile source.”

Lu Mingfei said that he had gained more knowledge: "So how come something like this that has long been out of date becomes practical again?"

"Because——there are precious materials everywhere here."

Prelati got out of the Lancelot machine and took a picture of the entire Lancelot machine, as well as other Knights of the Round Table machines that were still under construction, as well as a small metal mine at the other end of the factory. .

"Who knows where the people in the Holy City got so many rare minerals from? They also incorporated conceptual magic to create many weird alloys - for example, the joints of this Lancelot machine are made of the 'Alloy of Time' .”

"What the hell?" Lu Mingfei blinked blankly.

"Integrating the concept of time into rare and mysterious metals through magic, the metal itself acquires the conceptual attribute of 'time', and its toughness is strengthened to an almost infinite level. At the same time, it is almost impossible to wear out due to battle, and will only fade with time. The passage of time degrades itself.”

Prelati smacked his lips: "Who knows where they got so many rare metals, and there should be magicians with very high technical skills here."

"Better than you?"

"It's hard to say whether they are strong or not. Magicians are scientists in the first place. Not every scientist has ridiculous combat power, but the technical level is definitely higher than mine - after all, I am an illusionist, not a real magician."

Prelati reminded Lu Mingfei on the spiritual channel: "We have to find an opportunity to find a way to steal a batch back to Chaldea. With these rare mysterious metals, Chaldea's technology can be upgraded again. "

Lu Mingfei nodded silently in his heart, but asked again: "Can these things bridge the gap between the Knights of the Round Table and Achilles?"

"No." Prelati said simply, "First of all, the gap between Achilles and the Knights of the Round Table is not mainly concentrated on the level of 'combat power', but on the level of 'plug-in' , both sides have cheats, and the one with more cheats is naturally stronger. Golem technology cannot be called a cheat, what’s the second reason?”

Prelaty showed a subtle expression.

"Have you seen the nano-core armor of Achilles? The Greeks have been playing with that kind of thing since the mythical era. Achilles already has this type of armor, so if we really fight, this The main purpose of this thing is to enhance the combat effectiveness of ordinary soldiers. In the battle between the strong and the strong, this thing can be regarded as an excellent armor at best. It cannot determine the outcome. Well, it can also allow the knights who cannot fly to make up for their flying. Ability? If you think about it this way, this thing may be more like a 'mount' than armor."

Lu Mingfei got into the Lancelot machine that Prelati had adjusted and rubbed his hands. Although he had flown many types of mechas so far, he still felt the same feeling every time he touched something new. There will be some excitement.

The staff of Camelot took Lu Mingfei to a place similar to the Colosseum in ancient Rome, and then released a robot beast captured by the Camelot army, and began to observe Lu Mingfei's battle with it and then collect data.

Then they quickly marveled at Lu Mingfei's amazing driving skills. The slender humanoid mecha didn't look like a giant being manipulated by its posture at all. Instead, it looked more like it had gained life and was fighting with the mecha. Dance in battle.

Just like that, having fun while adjusting, Lu Mingfei had nothing to do anyway, so he simply started to do it himself, picked up the drawings and started to learn and design by himself - when he was in Hogwarts College, Lu Mingfei was in Ba Principal Becky's staff also learned a lot of similar things, and practice makes perfect after repeated practice.

Maybe it's an unexpected connection with this kind of thing?

It's not a problem to always rely on things you pick up or conjure up by cheating. Lu Mingfei has the urge to DIY one of his own.

"Only one mobile suit cannot change the outcome of a war! But a unicorn."

Lu Mingfei muttered words that others could not understand.

Started drawing with great interest.

Because Lu Mingfei discovered something. When the golem technology and the mecha technology were put into actual combat, they looked very similar, but the actual difference was - probably the difference between 'Gundam' and 'Jiaoda'.

The golem technology is more like playing with glue.

Surprisingly simple.

"Because the golem is originally a technology that values ​​the operator's mental power more than the performance of the machine itself." Prelati said.

Because I was so fascinated, when I came back to my senses, it seemed that the sky outside was already bright.

[Lu Mingfei’s ‘Golem Design’——]

[Basic play: 1D100=82]

[Professional learning supplement: 50]

[Short time (only one night) correction: -50]

【Result: 82】

Agguiwen, who came to inform, said hello. After finding no one responded, he followed where the crowd gathered and came to the back of Lu Mingfei - to be precise, Lu Mingfei was drawing a picture as he was being watched by a group of people. Ming Fei is behind.

"!"

After seeing the design drawings drawn by Lu Mingfei, Agguiwen seemed to have a flash of light in his eyes, but he quickly recovered - and then coughed twice.

Let all the staff who are still unfinished turn their attention back to themselves.

These staff members are naturally not ordinary people. In fact, they are alchemists who lost their way from the Atlas courtyard after the chaos broke out at the singularity, or magicians who originally lived in this era. As special talents, they Recruited and gathered by Agguiwen.

It's obvious that Lu Mingfei's design is quite interesting because it can fascinate all these people.

But Ageguiwen did not forget the next business.

"The Holy Ceremony is about to begin. Lord Bradamante and Lord Merlin, as agreed, if you want to watch, please come."

☆

Although the sex of the main painting is on the head, Lu Mingfei cannot ignore the really important 'main line'.

Putting down the unfinished DIY golem design for the time being, Lu Mingfei, led by Gawain, headed to the city gate of the holy capital to prepare for the upcoming holy ceremony.

Also arriving together was Master Tripitaka.

On the contrary, Agguiwen himself did not come. After notifying Lu Mingfei, he left alone.

Maybe there are more government affairs to deal with?

Lu Mingfei came to the city wall absentmindedly. While thinking about the unfinished DIY design, he tried to search for any places where the barrier signal could not be blocked, hoping to restore communication with Chaldea.

He was not interested in the content of the ceremony. This kind of thing should be just a formality, similar to the principal's speech at the opening ceremony, right?

Lu Mingfei was thinking this way.

Absently, he suddenly saw a figure appearing on the other side of the city wall.

none other than the lion king himself

"?"

I didn’t see the Ague regulations. But the Lion King himself was there in person?

Something seems wrong in the atmosphere.

"Shengba, start."

But the Lion King was just as calm as ever and announced the start.
