After walking around the sporadic guarded islands for another half a day, a huge, regular circular land appeared in Lando's field of vision.
"Is this a manufacturing factory for mechanical golems?"
Lando sighed.
What appeared before Lando's eyes was a dense, regular and symmetrical arrangement of mechanical buildings covering the entire continent.
According to different stages, the buildings here show different levels and divisions from the inside to the outside.
The outermost periphery is a low one-story structure, and then there are two and three floors inward... At the core is a mechanical tower that rises straight into the sky.
Countless mechanical golems of various types are busy inside.
Looking across this mechanical continent, Lando saw a mechanical castle floating in the sky at the end of his sight. If nothing else, that should be the destination of this trial - the Mechanical Throne!
That should be where the seventh arcane emperor Edison Cornet is.
Wait, the end of the continent?
Lando blinked and moved suspiciously around the edge of the circular continent. However, when he walked about one-fifth of the length of the circular continent, he stopped because the mechanical throne floating in the air was still in his sight.
The end is the opposite side of the corresponding continent.
After thinking for a moment, Lando came to the conclusion that this might be some kind of special application of rules. It seemed that the castle in the sky was given a certain concept, and it could only be seen from any direction.
There are only two ways Lando can think of to reach the Mechanical Throne. One is to cross the Mechanical Continent, which may be able to circumvent this rule. The other is the mechanical tower in the center of the Mechanical Continent, where there may be an entrance.
Methods of the Mechanical Throne.
Lando prefers the second option!
His face was a little solemn, and he temporarily withdrew from the Mechanical Continent and headed to the outermost island sentry tower. He wanted to test the strength of these mechanical demons and whether they had any special abilities before confirming the next plan.
After another half day, Lando looked at the island sentry tower that he had destroyed in front of him and fell into deep thought.
These mechanical golems are not very powerful individually, but they have an ability that makes Lando feel quite troublesome, that is, they can disassemble themselves and transform into combinations at will. Moreover, their transformation combinations are not just a pile of numbers, but also a combination of transformations.
There are more profound changes.
The strength of a single golem is about the level of an arcanist in the third stage. This is mainly due to their ability to disassemble themselves into countless parts and then reassemble them into the weapons they want. Their single golem corresponds to a huge
Clusters of parts, like nano bugs.
When two golems are combined together, the strength of the new individual can be directly promoted to the legendary level. Even if they are injured, they can recover by absorbing the surrounding materials, which is quite difficult to deal with.
The island sentry tower that Lando raided was guarded by twenty golems. When they merged into one golem, even he needed some thought to deal with it.
According to the data Lando has obtained so far, it is speculated that if the strength of these mechanical golems has been improving in this linear way after the combination of changes, then with his current strength, a combination of about a hundred will be the limit that he can fight against.
Think about the number of mechanical golems on the entire mechanical island...
Millions? Tens of millions? Or more?!
And this is still the most basic mechanical golem. There are also stronger models of mechanical golems in the inner circle of Lando's induction.
It seems that brute force is not advisable, the only way to complete the trial is to be smart!
But this is in line with the exploration of different universes and the definition of the arcanist himself.
You must know that in the exploration of different universes, the most important "enemy" of the Arcanist is never the natives of the different universe, but the cosmic consciousness of the different universe itself. Before achieving the status of the true Arcane Emperor, a single Arcanist
There is a high probability that it is impossible to have the strength to fight against it!
Moreover, in the arcanist's definition of himself, wisdom always overrides other attributes.
You may always see arcanists who look like fools because of their strength. But in most cases, such arcane mages are not really fools. They just calculated and found that A was the solution to the problem.
The simplest method and put it into action!
Feeling the messages coming from several directions, Lando picked up the debris on the ground, then pulled up a layer of curtain and disappeared.
Just a few minutes later, several teams of mechanical golems arrived to block the island tower and launched a blanket search. Naturally, nothing was found.
In the end, among these teams of mechanical golems, each team assigned some people to stay on the island and began to build a new sentry tower, while the other golems returned one after another.
On the three-masted sailing ship.
Lando carefully dissected and studied the collected mechanical golems, and then carried out more in-depth changes and simulations through the universal magical power. In the end, not only the knowledge about the golems was greatly improved, but the resolution of the rules also jumped forward by a stage.
.
Although I have a lot of inspiration at the moment and I want to immediately take out No. 13 and my Sentinel Golem to study and upgrade them, after all, the most important thing now is the trial, and we should solve the immediate problem first.
Lando's plan is very simple. He transforms into a demon by accident and sneaks into the Mechanical Continent. With his omnipotent supernatural powers, this simple plan is very feasible.
Now there is only one problem left, and that is the internal network connection of these golems.
Since they are mechanical golems, there must be a self-consistent connection network within them, just like Lando's sentinels, and Xiao Hui is the core center.
If Lando wants to transform into a mechanical golem and blend into the mechanical continent, then authentication for connecting to the network is essential.
Needless to say, the intelligent core of this world must be a powerful intelligent life. Lando has no confidence in changing data on the other party's 'turf'.
But he doesn’t really want to compete with the opponent on the data level!
Lando quietly came to the edge of the Mechanical Continent again and looked at the hard-working mechanical puppets on the outermost edge. Lando showed a silent smile.
Lando transformed into the form of a mechanical golem, then decomposed himself into the smallest structure, and randomly selected one of the busy mechanical golems to combine with it.
Under the cover of the omnipotent supernatural power and the power of the heart and universe, all this happened silently, and even the mechanical puppet itself was not aware of it.
After completing the invasion, Lando did not immediately take further actions. Instead, he followed the mechanical golem to continue its predetermined work, while also analyzing its network structure.
This scene is somewhat similar to when Lando went to conquer the Void Swallowing Group a long time ago, but the difficulty is completely different.
After all, even the spiritual attainments of the Void Devouring Mother Queen cannot be radiated to every Void Devourer. In addition, the mind is also Lando's strength, so he can stay in the mind of a certain Void Devourer and act unscrupulously.
to manipulate or even tamper with.
But things are different now. If Lando dares to control this mechanical puppet out of its original working sequence, he may be immediately discovered by the intelligent life that controls the mechanical continent!
But now his combination is based on the mechanical golem's own abilities. As long as he can deceive the mechanical golem he combined, he will basically not be discovered.
After a while, Lando had collected a lot of useful information from the data released by the mechanical golem he had assembled, and then he fell into a deeper silence, waiting for the opportunity to come.
The group of mechanical golems can't even be called creations. Every mechanical golem, even at the lowest level and with the simplest structure, has its own logical wisdom. The difference is just more or less.
As long as they can continue to break through their own logical constraints and strengthen their control over mechanical components step by step, they will one day be able to evolve into truly intelligent life forms.
ZXAG1069 is the lowest and most common mechanical golem on the edge of the Mechanical Continent. It repeats uninterrupted work every day to serve its master.
But! The little devil also has big dreams!
It hopes that one day it can evolve into an intelligent life. In that case... it can better serve the great master!
Today ZXAG1069 feels that it is particularly energetic for some reason. After calculations on weekdays, it has just reached its limit and the workload has been easily completed. This can't help but create a trace of doubt in its simple thinking.
Could it be that I am about to evolve?!
ZXAG1069 doesn't know that it can't think further with its current intelligence. After it finishes its work, it goes to the second floor for routine maintenance and recharging according to its usual habits, and then it starts a new round of work.
On the way, a group of patrolling mechanical golems passed by it, and ZXAG1069's simple thinking showed a trace of envy. They were one of the evolved types of the basic mechanical golems, and they were also the goals it yearned for.
For some reason, at the moment when it passed by the patrolling mechanical golem, ZXAG1069 felt that its enhanced power suddenly disappeared. It started a temporary self-check program and found no abnormalities, so it did not stop and continued on its planned path.
Go to your destination.
…
ZXAH3408 is an ordinary patrol mechanical golem. Its daily job is to patrol fixed areas on the first to third floors, and today is no exception.
When ZXAH3408 arrived at a certain area on the third floor, he couldn't help but tilt his head slightly and look at something displayed in the shop window. It was the crystal energy storage template that he had longed for, for which he had accumulated 162 years and 7
Monthly energy points only need 38 years and 5 months to save enough to redeem!
…
ZWAH0025 is an advanced research-type mechanical golem. Not only does it have its own mechanical component shop on the third floor, it even works for a large research institution on the seventh floor, which makes its small life extremely comfortable.
After replenishing the goods, ZWAH0025 handed over the store to the low-level mechanical golem and headed to the seventh floor.
…
…
Through constant 'hitchhiking', Lando was getting closer to the core of the Mechanical Continent. On the way, he was also getting familiar with his own way of progress. From the beginning, he was able to make the combined mechanical golems sense obvious
After all the changes, there was no abnormality at all.
When he followed an advanced research-type mechanical golem to a large research institute, his horizons were even more opened.

There are many special mechanical props in this mechanical research institute, such as Gaia-type large-scale mechanical combat dolls, void light particle cannons, dimension breaker, etc.!
Unfortunately, the following ones were only what Lando heard and did not see the real thing, because the main research direction of the advanced research-type mechanical golem that he is currently possessing is the series of "Mechanical Fortress".
This discovery made Lando's thoughts of choosing a target and preparing to leave disappear. Just like in the game, once the BOSS dares to show his health bar, he will inevitably be eliminated by the existence called 'player'. This prop
The points are all marked, so it would be a bit inappropriate to leave empty-handed!
Forget about [Mechanical Fortress] and [Mechanical Castle]. After obtaining the corresponding knowledge, Lando can also make substitutes without wasting points to exchange. But the final [Mechanical Fortress] is not simple, even if it is given to Lando
Even with a complete set of drawings, he couldn't easily create it, not to mention that it only requires 500 points, which is simply a bargain!
You must know that this is a creation that can be compared to a floating city!
Well, the qualifying affix noted later was selectively ignored by Lando.
Although stealing the only [Mechanical Fortress] in the Mechanical Research Institute may make the next trip more difficult, it is all worth it!
ZWAH0025, as a peripheral researcher, does not have many opportunities to access [Mechanical Fortress], so it seems that he needs to plan carefully.
