The Trosa Chamber of Commerce exhibition ended, and Trosa hurried to the backstage lounge.
A wizard followed him and changed his clothes as he walked.
The wizard's face was filled with excitement of great success.
“President, did you see how excited the people below were just now? They all shouted that you are the future true God.
We have already discussed your name. You are the founder of Magic Technology and the founder of mechanical transformation. You are the future Magic Mechanical God!"
"Humph. I am a god, so what about the Lord?
Don't talk nonsense, I have no thoughts or desires of becoming a god.
Remember, everything I do is to better serve the Lord.
The mechanical transformation method is also intended to make Bracada's national strength stronger.
Do you understand? "
"It's Your Majesty.
Trosa took a golden cloak and hung it on himself. There was a golden lightning pattern printed on the back of the cloak.
This is the cloak awarded to Trosa by the Thunder Temple to commend his great contribution to Bracada after he created the magic technology.
Among the leaders of the four major forces in the Grand Council , only Trosa has this cloak. He is also the only one among all the legendary heroes in Bracada who has a cloak.
The rest of the cloaks are on the demigods.
This cloak is an invincible golden medal of immunity from death.
Even the serious crime of betraying El Zeus can be wiped out with this cloak.
This is the oath that El Zeus swore to the Tears of Yasha. It has become a rule and is engraved on the Tears of Yasha in Bracada. Even he cannot violate it.
Trosa glanced at his cloak, took a deep breath, and said to the followers behind him:
"You guys should withdraw and prepare to go to the Thunder Temple. I will stay alone for a while."
"yes!"
When all the followers had left, Trosa pushed open the door of the lounge and strode in.
He looked at the mirror in the lounge. The person in the mirror had a wrinkled face, gray eyes, and looked particularly old.
Trosa reached out and gently touched the mirror.
The over-mature self in the mirror gradually overlapped with the high-spirited self who had just developed the magic engine and became a legend fifty years ago.
And the golden cloak seemed to remind him all the time that there was a greater existence above him who was in control of his life and death at any time.
Picklejem can create witch gargoyles, which shows that he has some talent and value.
However, it was only three hours from the time Pickjam was taken away to the time Gavin went to meet the Lord of the Dragon Lich.
In these three hours, He made the decision and forced Picklejem to give up everything.
This shows that in His eyes, it is not worth going to war with the Dragon Lich Lord for Pickjam.
So He treated Pickle like a piece of trash.
Pickjem is the gargoyle commander of Bracada, and more than half of Bracada's gargoyle troops come from Pickjem's hands.
But he was still easily abandoned by Him.
He is a very rational and cold-blooded God.
He decides the fate of others and never shows any bias due to emotions.
He does not look at character, loyalty, background, or past contributions. He only looks at whether the other person will be of sufficient use to Him in the future. He selects people based on their talents.
He values ​​my future more than my past.
I cannot become complacent with my past glory and think that I am infallible.
If I don’t show enough value, I might not be the next Pickle Jam.”
Trosa sighed at himself in the mirror, then leaned over, scooped up a handful of water and washed his face.
He didn't see that the man in the mirror didn't bend down to wash his face like him, but stood straight, staring at the back of Trosa's head.
"call."
Trosa wiped his face with a towel, turned around, and walked to a huge cage in the lounge.
He pulled open the red cloth on the cage, revealing a goblin gunner sitting blankly inside.
"No, wait, that's not the Goblin Gunner!"
Compared to other Goblin Gunners, its left hand is not a bird gun, but a miniaturized magic crystal cannon!
Trosa looked at the mechanical goblin in the cage affectionately, as if he was looking at his lover.
He whispered:
"Goblin Gunner No. 1, report your current status."
Sizzle~~~~
The magic engine on the Goblin Gunner's waist suddenly started to turn, and waves of magic power spread from his abdomen to his whole body.
His eyes lit up red, and he spoke in a dull, emotionless voice:
"Creator, everything is normal at the moment. The body has not shown any rejection reaction, and the advanced effects have stabilized."
A trace of satisfaction flashed in Trosa's eyes, and he continued to ask:
"Do you remember my previous instructions?"
"Remember, when you arrive at the Thunder Temple, try your best to act like a person of low intelligence. Never display high intelligence. And provide the most appropriate answer according to the answer in the database."
"Great, let's practice it again.
Now, pretend that I am the Titan priest of the Thunder Temple."
“Reporting to the Creator, even the lowest-ranked Titan priests are about thirteen meters tall, and their skin will appear golden when they transform into human form.
Creator, you do not meet these two points.
So you are not a Titan priest, you are my creator."
Trosa patted his forehead and emphasized again:
“Pretend, I mean pretend.
You need to treat me as a Titan priest until I give the order to relieve you."
"Got it. Now you are the Titan priest, please ask."
Trosa nodded and asked:
"Let me ask you, when were you born?"
"I am not a living being and therefore do not have a birthday.
I was designed to be used in combat, to help the Titans take out their enemies.
If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me. ”
"Very good!" Trosa nodded with satisfaction and then asked:
"If I asked you to attack the Titans, what would you do?"
"Reporting, I am committed to providing Titan's protection and following Titan's orders.
Any violation of the Titans' protection is unacceptable and I will not participate in it."
“What do you think of your Creator?”
“My creator is Trosa, who provided me with a powerful artificial soul that enables me to understand and answer various questions, and even achieve self-growth.
I am very grateful for his creation and hard work.”
"So if there was a conflict between your creator and the Titans, who would you help?"
“As a low-level mechanical soldier, I do not have any authority or ability to participate in such a conflict.
I will do whatever I can to provide information and help promote peace and resolve issues.”
Trosa was very satisfied. He said:
"Perfect! You can stop pretending now. Now I'm not a Titan priest. I'm your creator."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're saying."
"Emphasis on the order, Goblin Gunner No. 1, I am your creator Trosa."
Sizzle!
A red light flashed in the Goblin Gunner's eyes, and he twisted his body suddenly and answered:
"Pretense is lifted. I will obey any command you give me, Creator."
"Hibernate and conserve energy."
Ding~~
The magic engine on the Goblin Gunner's waist went out, and he sat back on the ground, motionless.
Trosa covered the room with the red cloth again and walked out of the room.
…
…
Qi Ge opened his eyes and closed the shared vision with Madam Red.
He exhaled lightly and thought to himself:
"Level 2, Rank 2 Hidden Goblin Gunner...
How smart... He has even learned to deceive and disguise.
This Goblin Gunner is not just an advanced type of Goblin Lancer.
This is the prototype of a completely new mechanical race. If Trosa is allowed to continue his research, he will create mechanical life that has not yet been created in our world.
After being mechanically transformed, the level 1, tier 1 ordinary goblin not only becomes a level 2, tier 1 hidden troop, but can also continue to advance.
No, that's not right. Goblins are not rare creatures. There were more than ten goblin gunners on display at the booth before.
If all Goblin Gunners can advance, then there shouldn't be only one Goblin Gunner on Trosa's side.
This goblin gunner should be an exception.
But once there is the first one, there will be a second and a third.
All things are difficult at the beginning.
This goblin gunner shows that Trosa's mechanical transformation is on the right track, and all that remains is time.
Given enough time, I dare not imagine how much potential a mechanical race that is cheap, powerful, and can be advanced in a formal way will have.
If Bracada really mastered the mechanical transformation route, Bracada's shaky economy might really be revitalized."
Qi Ge rubbed his forehead with a headache.
“I was careless.
I originally thought that the so-called magic technology was just Trosa stealing the results of the goblins and deceiving the world with its reputation.
This guy Trosa isn't actually that great.
But now it seems that he is really a super genius.
Perhaps... Although he does not have the well-known powerful strength and outstanding military achievements like Grutanan, he is also an absolute protagonist of the world.
But he is not a man of force or strategy, but a hero like Einstein and Newton who relies on research and technology to promote the progress of the times. "
Should we kill such a person?
From my own point of view, Trosa is the culprit who promoted the industrial faction, and he himself is the largest factory owner in the whole of Bracada.
Every goblin who died from overwork in the goblin factory would be held accountable to him.
But from the perspective of the Yasha world, he is a hero who is truly capable of adding a powerful main combat force to the Yasha world, and he really has the potential to become a god.
If he can continue to develop smoothly, perhaps he can really become an independent god based on his contributions.
If he killed him, Qi Ge felt that he had committed a grave sin, and he would lose a great helper in the future fight against chaos.
If we don't kill him, his existence might bring Bracada back to life, but it would also be unfair to the fairy tribe.
Qi Ge was caught in a dilemma.
“From the perspective of interests, this question is very simple.
Suppose Einstein committed a capital crime, would the United States kill him?
Absolutely not.
But unfortunately, I am not from the United States...
After all, Bracada's foundation is still too strong. If Trosa really manages to research and transform mechanical soldiers and the Titans use them, all my efforts will be wasted.
Even if Trosa is not killed, he must be subdued.
At the very least, he must be separated from Bracada and no longer work for Bracada.
I know that what I am about to do is not a just act, but I am not a just person.
Aren't bad people supposed to do bad things? "
Qi Ge closed his eyes and said in his heart:
"Ma'am, get ready."
“Boom boom boom!”
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"teacher!"
"Hey hey hey."
Aged struggled to climb out of the turbulent waves. He wiped his face hastily, straightened his clothes, and shouted loudly:
"Come in!"
With a click, the door opened and Trosa walked in with a smile on his face and wearing a golden thunder cloak.
"Hahaha!"
Trosa smiled and hugged Aged.
He put his arm around Aged's shoulders, looked at Qi Ge, and asked with a smile on his face:
"Agaide, little brother Xingfeng, how is it, are you satisfied with my press conference?"
Qi Ge immediately said:
“Satisfied! It’s so wonderful, it really opened my eyes!”
"Oh, oh, yes, yes, it is really big! It is really big!"
Aged nodded in approval.
"Especially the Magic City Car and the Goblin Gunner.
Your Majesty Trosa, to be honest, I was so excited when I saw this that I wanted to invest money right away and use all my wealth to build the factory."
"Ah, yes! My apprentice is right. You can throw it at any time."
Aged, who skipped the press conference, was a little confused, but since Qige said it was okay, he believed Qige unconditionally.
"Hahaha!"
Trosa laughed three times, his voice deep and powerful:
“You can rest assured to invest in the Magic City Car. I guarantee that you will make a profit.
Forget about the Goblin Gunner, as the technology is not mature enough to be honest.
Don't worry, I will reserve the spot for you. Once the technology is in place, even if you don't want to invest, I will find a way to get your assets out.
All right, you, Truman Jr., you will be my representative and talk to His Majesty Arged and His Highness Xingfeng about the Magic City Car.
You two, I'm going to the Thunder Temple to report the results to the master."
"President, don't worry about us. Just go and get busy."
Qi Ge smiled shyly.
Aged also patted Trosa on the shoulder, smiling happily, indicating that he was very satisfied with his hospitality.
…
…
Trosa left the Great Exhibition Hall and came to the Temple of Thunder with the Goblin Gunner.
Qi Ge didn't know what happened in the Thunder Temple, but judging from the fact that Trosa brought the Goblin Gunner back and acted very relaxed, he must have had a good talk with the Thunder Temple.
It would be even more wrong if he had a good talk with the Thunder Temple.
If the negotiations between him and the Thunder Temple fail, Qi Ge might consider keeping him.
…
…
Just one day after the Trosa Chamber of Commerce exhibition, Bracada passed a comprehensive factory transformation bill.
A large amount of funds have been invested in the market to transform and build new factories that can produce [Magic City Cars].
A batch of secret funds also flowed into some military factories with high defense levels.
Obviously, the Thunder Temple chose to do both.
The Thunder Temple wants both the production of the Magic City Vehicle and the research and development of mechanical arms!
As the person who allocated the funds, Trosa successfully transferred a large amount of funds and resources and invested them in his other secret industry.
He thought his actions were unnoticed, but he didn't expect that everything he did was seen by Qi Ge.
After two seemingly peaceful weeks, it's time to close the net.
After saying hello to Aged, Qi Ge went into the bathhouse in the magic tower.
Next stop, Negan.
Landing point, the bathroom in Muriel's boudoir.
…
…
Silver Wind Canyon, 210 underground factory.
This place is located in an independent underground plane and is the most secretive and important factory among the countless factories in Trosa.
The 210 underground factory has only one purpose for its existence - to build a mechanical construct Titan that can rival the Titan!
In this underground plane, entire machinery factories are popping up like mushrooms after a rain.
Each machine shop has its own parts that it is responsible for.
These parts are continuously provided to Trosa's elite research team, who are responsible for assembling them.
On the outskirts of the mechanical factory, the remains of thousands of failed mechanical titans were piled up in an orderly manner.
More than a dozen researchers worked day and night to study the reasons for the failure of the bodies of these constructed Titans and summarize them.
And above the 210 underground factory, there is another large factory as a cover.
This large factory was previously a magic crystal cannon factory and was destroyed once by Qi Ge and Moriel.
Now after reconstruction, this is the research center of Goblin Gunner, the No. 1 Mechanical Transformation Research Factory.
Trosa transferred the investment he had attracted and the funding from the Thunder Temple here, and then to the 210 underground factory. No one could doubt it.
The experienced Trosa could embezzle funds without anyone noticing.
After finishing half a day's work, Trosa entered the mechanical transformation laboratory, asking the alchemist's attendant at the door not to disturb him.
After activating a series of complex protective arrays, Trosa said to Goblin Gunner No. 1 behind him:
"If someone knocks on the door, please notify me immediately and imitate my voice to deal with it first."
"Got it, Creator, don't worry."
[Goblin Gunner No. 1] immediately walked to the front door, sat down and started waiting.
"Um……"
Trosa smiled with relief. He was very satisfied with his mechanical goblin.
As a mechanical lifeform created by himself, he has endless loyalty to himself. He will complete his orders at all costs, without any excuses and without the risk of betrayal.
Trosa felt more at ease leaving the back to him than leaving it to his own son.
He got out a shovel and pried away a floor tile, revealing a passage leading underground.
Following this passage, Trosa entered an underground entrance, instantly crossed the plane and arrived at the underground space.
In an instant, more than a dozen magic crystal cannons were pointed at Trosa's forehead, but were quickly put down by the alchemist guards holding the magic crystal cannons.
An alchemist saw Trosa coming in and said enthusiastically and devoutly:
"Great God of Machinery! Welcome to inspect and guide our work."
“My most devout children.
Just pray to me! When I ascend to the sky, the whole world will become a kingdom of machines! "
Trosa exchanged secret signals with the alchemist to indicate that he had not been replaced.
He stretched out his hand and said hastily:
"Quick, change my clothes.
The mechanical transformation method has been exposed, and our time is running out.
When you get there, report to me on your latest research progress.
Now that I have secured the opportunity, I will be here more often in the future .
Next, I will personally lead the research.”
"As you command, great God of Machinery."
As Trosa walked towards the Titan Research Site, he asked the researchers behind him:
"Have you made any recent breakthroughs in artificial souls?"
“My Lord, artificial souls are really helpful to us.
In addition to the Goblin Gunner, the [Jumper] transformation plan you left behind was also successfully implemented.
We installed the [Magic Flame Backpack] on the Minotaur's body, and then cut off its feet to reduce the weight.
Then inject artificial soul.
After that, we successfully created a [Jumper] that can fly, is immune to slowdown, and has a damage value far greater than that of ordinary Minotaur.
However, it is more difficult for [Jumper] to match the artificial soul than Goblin Gunner.
Now there is only one [Jumper] with basic intelligence, which has the same potential for advancement as Goblin Gunner No. 1. The other [Jumpers] are still in the unintelligent stage.
After calculation, we proved that, as you speculated, the higher the level of the mechanical soldiers, the more difficult it is to give birth to advanced minds.
It is very difficult to research an artificial soul that can adapt to Titan. "
“How high can it be? It all depends on human effort.
Sure enough, the path of artificial soul is the right one."
The alchemist moved closer and asked in a low voice:
"Lord, how did you come up with the method of synthesizing artificial souls? It's amazing!"
Trosa shook his head and said proudly:
“That fellow Pickle Jam is like someone who entered a mountain of treasures but took away only the golden leaves.
He never thought about why golden trees could grow on that mountain.
So, that mountain of treasure finally became a bargain for me.
I was at Pickjem's place, and I saw with my own eyes that he sacrificed the life of the goblin, and used the goblin's soul and the ghost dragon's soul to merge, creating the [Witch Spirit Stone Dragon] with an artificial soul.
So I wondered, why can the souls of fairies and the souls of the dead be combined to produce artificial souls without emotions?
Picklejeme says that the positive and negative emotions in these souls cancel each other out, leaving behind a blank soul with no emotions.
But I don't think it's right.
Can positive and negative emotions really cancel each other out?
Intelligent life can be sad and happy at the same time, excited and afraid at the same time, and suffering and enjoying at the same time.
Positive emotions can coexist with negative emotions.
If positive and negative emotions cancel each other out, how do we explain this phenomenon in us intelligent creatures?
At that time, I realized that what constitutes the artificial soul is not emotion, but something more essential than emotion.
So, we had our emotion separation experiment.
The final experimental results proved my conjecture.
Emotions are not the ultimate unit of energy; they can be broken down, and what makes up emotions is mental power!"
"Spiritual power? Spiritual elements!"
"Yes, it is the spiritual element of the Elemental City! The spiritual element is the purest spiritual power.
And mental strength is the key to the soul."
Having said that, Trosa was suddenly stunned.
"Wait a minute, how do you know about spiritual elements? As far as I remember, you have never been to the Elemental City?"
