When I heard that the City of Angels could only produce two thousand newborn angels a week, I felt that the speed was incredible - not too fast, but too slow, even so slow that people doubted whether it was an imperial facility.
situation.
A facility as big as the City of Angels takes seven days to train two thousand soldiers. Perhaps for ordinary civilizations, this is already a considerable production rate, but for the Xiling Empire, the rate of violent soldiers is reduced to "thousands".
It's something unbearable.
What's more, what we are in urgent need of is an entire legion...
When I expressed my thoughts, Bella Vera showed a disapproving expression. She glanced at me, shook her head and said: "You are restricted by your own preconceived ideas. Mysterious things and technology
The systems are different, and they are quite different. These are two technical systems with complete systems, and it is not just the power used that is different - if you just replace the heavy cannon with arcane missiles,
If individual fighter jets are replaced by magic flying carpets, and the two groups of armies fire ion beams at each other instead of firing eye prism rays, it can be regarded as the difference between the technological system and the mysterious system...don't you think it's too childish?"
I'm embarrassed to admit that that's what I thought at first...
"Huh -" Bella Villa sighed helplessly, as if she was helpless with my simple and whimsical logic, "Well, I don't blame you. From the time you came into contact with the empire until now, you really haven't understood much.
Things related to the mysterious department, and that knowledge was only unsealed by you in the past two days. I will give you a make-up lesson - the biggest difference between the military power of the empire's mysterious department and the technology department is that we never produce the most from the production factory.
Basic units, do you understand? The most basic units coming off the "production line" of the mysterious system are the intermediate apostles, as you know, Xiling Angels, Ravens, and the upcoming Arcane Law Enforcers, Magic Vanguards and other mysterious units.
All of them are mid-level or above units. Therefore, in your opinion, the production efficiency of the City of Angels is so low. It is not a place to produce soldiers at all!"
I listened to Bellavilla's words word for word, and realized that the power of the Empire's mysterious system was very different from what I had always imagined, and I immediately became very curious about it. Of course, there is nothing surprising about this discrepancy.
, although I had no specific concept before, I can also understand how different the two different technical systems will be in the process of their respective development and improvement. The technical systems of the mysterious system and the technological system use various methods when exploring the truth of the world.
The means and approaches are so different, and the branches and leaves they spread out must naturally take on different forms, just like the bifurcation points in the history of human civilization that go in different directions. Each stage of human civilization will be born with huge differences.
world view, and thus produced a large number of daily habits, production tools, religious beliefs and even national forms that are almost incomprehensible to each other. There are so many estranged civilization stages on this small earth. Not to mention that the behemoth Xiling Empire was born at the same time
Two almost completely opposite technical routes.
"In other words, the strength of the mysterious side is actually more elite soldiers?" I thought for a while and expressed my understanding, "The mysterious side are all mid-level apostles, don't they have low-level members? You don't have soldiers? This has nothing to do with technology.
The difference between the two sides is too big."
"Of course not," Bellavilla shook his head decisively. "Any technological system with a complete technological tree cannot be without basic units. A large enough number of soldiers who are specialized in undertaking all basic tasks are indispensable. But for us
To me, soldiers don’t come from the production line. They come from... this way.”
As Bellavilla spoke, she stretched out her hand in the air, and arcane brilliance visible to the naked eye and entity fragments of unknown composition appeared in the air. The way these things appeared reminded me immediately of the Xiling host's use of information.
A scene of regenerative technology building various imperial facilities - perhaps these are two technologies that reach the same goal by different routes? These radiant little things summoned by Bellavera are quickly coming together and forming quickly with stunning precision.
The inorganic basic skeleton and body were removed. When the last shining fragment of unknown composition fell on the gap on the back of "it", what appeared in front of our eyes was a person with the appearance and figure of Bella Vera...or rather
Raven 001 is almost exactly the same, but its whole body is as clear as crystal. This newly born humanoid looked around blankly for a while, and then stood behind Belavera with a dull expression, like a loyal
guard.
"I've heard about your experiences in that world. Those angels' remembrance clones in the Sky Tower must be very impressive." Bellavilla smiled and glanced at me, "These are the basic soldiers of our mysterious apostles.
.We won’t make these things from factories, because we don’t need them. The special way the mystery transforms the world allows us to more easily achieve precise control of energy and matter with individual power, as well as control of our own spirits and even souls.
, so we have developed puppet and clone technologies. Various elemental creatures, missing body clones, arcane constructs and spiritual creatures are the basic soldiers of the mysterious system. The one in front of you is a construct, which uses my
Driven by arcane power, the material that makes up the body is information that is 'plundered' directly from the world. By appropriately rewriting this information, it can become a 'matter' that is no less than the steel and iron bones of the imperial soldiers. You should do this
No stranger, this is what Xiling host does."
My guess just now has been confirmed. This is an important factor in the Xiling host being classified as a hybrid Xiling apostle.
The "crystal man" that Bellavilla had just created gave me a very familiar feeling. After thinking about it for a long time, I suddenly remembered that this was the one I saw that day in the northern ice field, the one created by Odysseus.
Is it an elemental creature? Of course, the crystal being made by Bellavera is obviously more powerful and refined than those Goodel elemental creatures. At least "she" will not drop scum all the way when she walks. Perhaps this is due to the ancient
The Del elemental creatures gradually lost the power of the first generation creatures during the long process of self-reproduction.
The apostle of the mysterious system actually relies on this method to produce basic soldiers. This never occurred to me, and it also aroused more curiosity: "In that case, why have I never seen other ravens create this... elemental soldier?"
"
Although it is impossible to see how much combat power this elemental creature can have, if every raven has the ability to create its own construct clone like Bella Vera, then the total amount will be a very considerable power when it reaches a certain level.
, but I have never seen the Ravens’ elemental creations on the battlefield. They always fight alone, relying on their own magical power to fight like the most orthodox spellcasters. Otherwise, I should have known about the mysterious system earlier.
It’s an amazing feature.
"Because ordinary ravens are not good at making this kind of construct." Bellavilla clicked on the forehead of the crystal clear "Crystal Girl" next to her, and the latter immediately split into a large number of small fragments, surrounding
She spun around quickly, "Not every unit in the Mysterious Department is responsible for making soldiers. Usually, the Magic Energy Pioneer and Xiling Angel are responsible for this aspect - you have already seen the clones created by the latter. As for the raven,
We are a turret in the conventional sense. We have the most powerful long-range attack capabilities and auxiliary skills. And as a heroic unit, the raven is basically used to undertake special tasks - special tasks do not include squatting at home and pinching villains.
"
So I understood. The biggest difference between the science and technology department and the mystery department in terms of military construction: the former assembles private soldiers from the assembly line. The production efficiency is stable, while the latter uses large-scale manufacturing facilities to directly produce mid-to-high-level apostles, and then these mid-to-high-level apostles are manufactured.
The disadvantage of artificial life is that it will face the dilemma of insufficient soldiers in the early stage, and may even have a commander but no soldiers, but the advantage is that as time goes by, their "basic soldiers" can grow explosively
.Every time a mysterious apostle is created, it is equivalent to expanding a small production line. Their basic soldier growth rate is based on the base number of intermediate apostles. The larger the base number, the more amazing the increase rate. From Odyssey
I have already understood that the elemental creatures he created can maintain themselves independently after birth. They do not need to use mental power or other things to maintain them, nor do they need a special energy supply. In this way, as long as they have time and energy,
There is actually no upper limit to the number of basic soldiers that a mysterious Xiling apostle can create - of course, they will not really do this. Although cannon fodder is useful, if you spend all your energy and life making cannon fodder... yes
He will be killed by his own superiors.
There are many reasons for this difference. The most important aspect is what Bellavilla said just now. The apostles of the mysterious system specialize in understanding and observing the world from an individual perspective, and gradually become better at awakening themselves.
They are superior in soul and mental power control, which is why they rely on ordinary apostles to make their own soldiers to supplement the army.
As for why the ravens are not good at making soldiers, but Bellavilla is, the reason is actually very simple——
"It's free." Sandora concluded concisely.
"Can you make basic soldiers with sanity?" I asked curiously, "Ordinary soldiers are self-aware, but this...ice sculpture you made...oh, it has turned into hail now, and it looks like it has no brains.
The way it looks.”
"This is also one of the differences between the mystery system and the technology system," Bellaveira said with a look of regret on her face, "Although we can individually create our own small army, the puppet creatures we create generally do not have much intelligence.
Yes, we cannot directly infuse the will and soul into the arcane core like the factory-assembled thinking core of the technology department. We can only give them some of the most basic behavioral programs. So generally speaking, the basic soldier combat effectiveness of the mystery department is
They are much weaker than the imperial soldiers and can only be balanced by their numbers and the masters behind them. Of course, the above does not mean that we cannot create things with souls at all, but it is more difficult - it is completely impossible to produce them as quickly as we did just now
.Sometimes it even takes several days to create a thoughtful puppet creature. Under normal circumstances, this kind of sane puppet creature will be used as a team commander to lead other puppet corps. A mysterious apostle, subordinate
A small army, and a few assistants carefully made of their own, are the basic units of the mysterious army. In the individual soldier stage of the battle, puppet creatures advance or maintain positions, and their makers provide firepower and support from the rear.
, is our most commonly used tactic. Of course, there are many other fighting methods, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to tell you all about them in a short while.”
Sandora touched my arm and mentioned one thing: "Remember those Goodel elemental creatures in the North Icefield? They have no concept of individuals, and they claim that the whole family is called 'Goodel', maybe because of them
The whole race has only one consciousness."
With Bellavera's explanation, many things that I didn't understand became clear one by one. In addition to the strange group of Goodel elemental creatures, I also understood the relationship between the Spellcaster Legion and the Sixth Army of the Empire.
What kind of coordination problem: The imperial soldiers have to adapt not only to the sudden presence of a group of spellcasters who are as powerful as themselves or even more powerful, but also to get used to the large group of mindless puppet creatures who charge with them and fight in small groups.
Those who cooperate properly will naturally be excellent human shields and comrades. However, if they cooperate incorrectly, they may cause each other to be held back. This is only a problem that may arise in the early stages of coordinated operations between the two parties. There are more cases... who knows how many.
Although this mixed personality now has all kinds of speechless problems, Bellavera has indeed started her work in a down-to-earth manner, and as she promised, she will help us build a complete and in line with the current situation of the new empire.
Spellcaster Legion. She has already contacted Alleria and has a general understanding of the characteristics of the mysterious power of the Fifteen Days District. She has also formulated a plan with the Angel Legion, the original main force of the Fifteen Days District, as the inherent main force.
Compiling a reconstruction plan for arcane casters and various auxiliary units. She incorporated some of the Ravens into the newly formed legion. Not only to supplement manpower, but also because the Ravens were already active in the legions of the new empire.
After a long time, they had a better understanding of the army of the new empire. Regarding the positioning of the new army, Bellavilla mentioned her own views:
"Auxiliary operations, at least initially, should be positioned as auxiliary operations. The mysterious side lacks too much infrastructure and time, and many large and super units cannot be produced. Let the caster legion born under this situation fight effectively.
It's too reluctant. I suggest you don't rush to form the Seventh Legion. It's better to mix them into your First, Second and Sixth Legions. The first two legions are the imperial ace army. The Sixth legion is
Special forces dedicated to fighting against fallen apostles, these three legions are most likely to fight a tough battle."
"Is there no ** establishment?" Sandora pondered for a moment, "It is indeed possible in the short term, but the Seventh Legion will be established sooner or later, and it is impossible to continue to be mixed like this. Moreover, the mysterious and technological units are undergoing maintenance and repair.
There are huge differences in logistics and other aspects. The apostles of the mysterious system cannot use the weapon links and energy supply modules of the imperial soldiers, which will cause great problems to the logistics work of the mixed army."
"That will happen in the future. At least when the scale of the caster army is not large, this difficulty can still be overcome." Bellavilla waved her hand, "Compared to this, I have better news to tell you.
You—Alleria found some technical information on space weapons, including glow rings. She originally planned to report to you tomorrow, but I will reveal it to you in advance now..."
"Are you sure? Can it be made now?" Sandora suddenly showed a look of surprise. Obviously she knew about the thing Bella Vera mentioned, but I was confused: "Glow Circle
Ring? What is that thing?"
"What do you think our mysterious legions rely on to fight space wars?" Bellavilla shrugged at me, "A group of magicians with shields rushing into space, punching fighter planes and kicking missiles? It depends on one person.
Force and the main gun of the fleet to bombard each other?"
Bellavilla's description was so vivid that I immediately replayed the ridiculous scene in my mind twice and quickly shook my head: "It sounds cool, but it's really unreliable."
"The glowing ring is a 'space weapon' made with mysterious technology." Bellavilla snapped her fingers, and a huge holographic projection suddenly appeared in mid-air. The background of the projection was the bright starry sky, and there were floating objects in the starry sky.
A mysterious golden ring shrouded in mist. Perhaps this is the so-called glow ring. What is strange is that such a thing seems to have no entity - it is simply a halo, completely composed of erratic light!
"Individuals or soldiers, no matter how powerful they are, they will still be weak when faced with war weapons created by a group of people as powerful as themselves using their collective wisdom. Large-scale space melee and higher-level wars
In cross-border wars, large-scale weapons created by collective wisdom and the power of legions are the mainstream. Just like the dazzling fleets on the technological side, in fact, the mysterious side also has its own space weapons. It’s just... things we built
It may seem a little difficult to understand to you. They are very different from spaceships and other things. From their principles, to their appearance, to their fighting methods, it is actually difficult for people to associate them with spaceships."
"This is a halo composed of holy light and rune binding technology. Inside is highly active holy light. The concentration of these primordial energies is so high that it completely excludes all cosmological constants inside the glow ring.
And it creates an operating platform that can adapt to the current world view. When it is fully charged, it will become like this..."
As Bellavilla said, the holographic projection in the air suddenly changed - a large black-red painted Fallen Apostle battleship appeared opposite the glowing circle.
"Let me tell you how the terrible secret weapon destroys the enemy." (To be continued.)
