Steel steam and flame

After smiling, his face returned to normal, and Defoni's eyes never left the front and bottom - the core project of the Mechanical Dragon, which he personally guarded and supervised the work progress.

The metal structure, which is hundreds of meters long, already shows a ferocious appearance. From the starting section representing the head to the end of the tail, which is connected one by one, a spine that looks intermittent, very regular and beautiful is basically connected, and every part is completed. It is entirely made of an alloy with a very high ultimate metal content, and the silver light it reflects is purer and more dazzling than other skeletons around it.

Under the mechanical arms that intersect with each other but can never collide, you can see an oval body, limbs and claws with ultimate metal tips, two pairs of separated wings, etc. The metal skeleton has now been completed. Some parts will not be disassembled and rebuilt. Almost every scale made of ultimate alloy being installed has several reserved modular mounting holes and rails for later mounting and building necessary parts. Use accessories.

On both sides of the Ultimate Dragon and the robotic arm abutment, delivery machines or surgeons stepped up to carry a large number of black or silver metal boxes of different sizes and placed them in planned places. Although the sound was isolated by the glass in front of him, Defoni could imagine and know the chaotic and irregular sounds in front and below that made people feel involuntarily excited.

"After the test was successful, the giant suppressor tube was successfully dismantled. Next, is the most critical assembly and subsequent awakening process." The student next to Defoni looked down, not hiding his interest in his eyes and fondness. What was underneath was why he had come to Defoni, why he was here, even though the entire mission was fraught with life-threatening danger.

"Sure enough, the Chiraandi family finally complied with the deadline, and all the important materials that Mr. Macquarie had been trying to avoid delaying have arrived." He glanced at the metal boxes neatly arranged on both sides below. , the numbers on it automatically connected with the list written down in my head. "I didn't expect to have such a clean and tidy look. I still remember the mess when building and connecting the skeleton not long ago. It was even more exciting then, full of people. The metal frame, the swaying robotic arms, the chaotic clicking sounds, and the roars of the engineers responsible for all aspects can give people the feeling of corresponding to the environment."

"The way it looks now, if someone were to visit it, they would think that what's underneath would be a work of art."

"Is it a work of art?" Defoni was stunned for a moment as if hearing a word he hadn't heard for a long time. "I'm still full of conflicting feelings. If I can really get to that step and have everything under my control, I hope that this piece of art will be in the world." The art of killing will only exist in the factory inside this mountain."

"How many times can it be put out for exhibitions and test flights at most? In a large-scale and commemorative festival, it will become the most anticipated and final show?"

"Of course, after all, if the resources spent on a flight are converted into money, everyone in the big family will need to look at the bill. Only national structures above a giant country can afford it if it is actually used in war. Just manufacturing it , everyone has a rough idea of ​​how much power has been gathered. Not to mention the combination of various technologies..."

Defoni sighed, "At this age, I realized that I had been living in naivety and delusion. If it weren't for the opportunity brought by the six red stars, I could really preside over the construction of the Mechanical Dragon Project. Perhaps until death, I will think that the previous environment and myself are completely capable of making the Mechanical Dragon plan a success."

"Right now, there are so many things missing that I even have a plan on my side that is written on paper."

He smiled and shrugged, walked slowly along the oval-shaped observation corridor above the assembly plant. The students on the side followed him. Both of them looked sideways and downwards, and every part and every detail of the Ultimate Dragon was displayed in their eyes.

It is indeed not a work of art, because the huge, strange, and monotonous parts and structures do not have a sense of beauty. Most of them are just a pile of invisible pressure. They do not have the elements that a work of art should have, and they look visually rough. But it will also be a work of art. The expression of art is not only visual, but also in other aspects.

"Teacher, I heard that all the biological blood vessels of the Ultimate Dragon have been replaced with those from the Flame Alliance?"

Defoni nodded, thought for a short time, and answered, "You will be responsible for collecting and summarizing the data of the ten mechanical dragon experimental bodies later. If you strictly follow the process, it is actually the fourth time that the data has been collected. It's just that it It is the most formal and the one with actual experimental body. According to the results of the previous three tests, not to mention the Ultimate Dragon, even the side effects and load brought by the Mechanical Dragon are not something that the Dragon Knight of the corresponding level can bear. .”

"In addition, the test data also illustrates many problems. On the biological side, all are artificially manufactured and cultured, or materials from captive dragon species are used. No problems have been found in any single item. But after the species and quantity are increased... ,"

"Bang!" Defoni simulated the sound of an explosion, "Just like opening a sealed box, the pressured air accumulated inside escapes instantly. The problem we face is the same. We do not continue to use materials from the Empire. , and then start replacing the replaceable parts and turning it into a wild species of dragon, which also starts with obtaining data. Otherwise, in the end, things will be made, but the people who can use them will be too rare."

"Of course, the same reason applies to the Ultimate Dragon. After all, the enemy is the Third General, a dragon that is even connected to the age of gods. With limited information and research, don't even think about the captive species, which have no ability to resist. Fortunately, they don't have brains for thinking, so don't worry too much. The only ones that are more or less resistant to it are wild dragons. The replacement of materials midway is also based on this."

The student nodded and looked back at the boxes, "Will the implanted flesh and blood also be changed? The giant suppressor tube also has scientific researchers from the empire coming to make on-site changes."

Defoni in front spreads his hands, "This is why I think I was too naive before. Without Miss Elinor on the empire side, the Avalon Agency is willing to provide technical support and let the high priest of the Flame Alliance I sincerely cooperate and provide the control theory on the Dragon Knight. All I can do is assemble a metal skeleton. Well, in the end, it will be used as an exhibition art."

"The help of the advancement of the times." Defoni found a good evaluation word, "Without this era, the connecting nerve bundles, the filled wild dragon flesh and blood, the ultimate alloys and ultimate metals, and the light flow of artificial energy sources The network, even the uranium-gold furnace as the main energy source, etc., which one do you think we can break?”

"Fish and blood of wild dragons. Teacher, please work harder. Living in the southern forest, you can always find opportunities to kill a considerable number of wild dragons for decades."

"Yes, it's no problem to kill one head, no problem to kill two heads, and no problem to kill three heads. After killing four or five heads, I should think about how to escape from the black dragon Monikoloa. Already,,,"
