Chapter 104 Two Clockwork Fairies and the Theory of Playing More with More
The moment Fang Plover pushed open the second red door, the rigid and neutral tone came into his ears:
"Extreme multi-control"
He raised his head, and the space seemed extremely wide in the darkness, as if he were in a hall. But when he was slightly startled, the door slipped silently from his hand and closed automatically. At this time, there was a bunch of red in the darkness in the distance.
The light turned on and was dazzling. Before Fang Plover could react, the red light was already hitting his face.
He finally came back to his senses, but as an alchemist, it was almost too late to escape.
It's just that at this moment, the lizard clan's ritual "Language of the Stars" has automatically taken effect. The system ordered him to dodge to the side unconsciously under the control of "Intuitive Dodge", but the "Forced Dodge" also cleared the light blue dodge value instantly, balancing the situation.
The value also fell to the red warning threshold.
Since he didn't react, he subconsciously fell backwards. Fortunately, he still retained some balance, so he fell to the ground and rolled a few times to get out of the way of the opponent's attack. The red light missed him.
It passed by, leaving a dark red spot on the smooth ground.
The high temperature light spots dissipate quickly.
But Fang Plover got up from the ground in disgrace, and finally saw clearly what was attacking him.
It was a dark clockwork fairy that he had never seen before, with mysterious patterns on its surface.
But Fang Yu didn't know if it was really a kind of 'clockwork fairy', because he had never seen such a flexible structure. Not only was it completely black, but it was also irregularly spherical, with a rib on all four sides.
There are protrusions in the shape, and the edges are shining with the cold light of metal.
In the center of the sphere is a rather cold-looking observation device, like a black pillar or a dark hexagonal crystal. Under the dark crystal, there is a faint red light. The red light is like an extremely high temperature.
The molten metal underneath is gradually cooling, but residual heat still remains.
There is no doubt that the previous beam of high-temperature red light was emitted by this device.
What is this?
Except for the efreet, Fang Plover had never heard of a clockwork goblin with an attack method before. In fact, due to the small internal space and the inefficiency of most heat dissipation devices in this world, most of the attacks were directed towards the demon.
None of the guiding devices can be installed on the Clockwork Fairy.
People thought of many ways to do this, but the final compromise was the slow-moving magic structure of the 'Annihilator QV700'. Although it was inconsistent with the original design concept, it could be regarded as creating another way of flexible structure.
the way.
One idea is to use a one-time flexible structure like the efreet. Since it is a one-time use, there is no need to consider heat dissipation, but the price is high.
Moreover, the closed-circulation device of the Efreet will also take up the efficiency of the Clockwork Fairy's cooling system. The original Clockwork Fairy can add a communication system in addition to a visual plug-in. This is the Clockwork Fairy II.
The origin of.
But efreets can only be developed from Type I. Of course, except for the real rich, ordinary people are unlikely to consider using Type II clockwork goblins to carry out suicide attacks.
But this strange 'clockwork fairy' in front of him was obviously beyond Fang Plover's cognitive range.
But he won't have to worry about it soon.
Because Fang Plover raised his head and was looking at countless densely packed dark spheres emerging from the darkness. Of course, for the convenience of description, we can temporarily give this strange little thing a name, for example, it is called a jet black star.
Or something similar.
All in all, when these dark stars rise one by one from the darkness, they are like little bits of starlight, arranged at equal intervals in the vast space; it is like a huge matrix erected in front of Fang Plover, with hundreds of them like this, front, back, left and right.
So many flexible configurations.
Fang Yu held his breath and quietly looked up at this scene. Only one thought flashed through his mind: Why is the room behind the red door named "Extreme Multi-Control"? This must be the reason.
But when he looked back at the challenges in the world behind his door, they all had to do with alchemists. He couldn't let a weak combat craftsman practice his dodge ability like a nightingale.
After going through so many doors, Fang Yu gradually became familiar with the style here, and knew in his mind that there would definitely be a way to respond to the challenge in this room. But at this moment, he suddenly felt something more mysterious in his heart.
induction.
As a combat craftsman, he is no stranger to this kind of induction. Because it is the induction between the craftsman's magic furnace and the flexible construction of the resonance crystal. "Flexible construction with and without an owner," Miss Tata's voice came, and Fang
Plover had actually realized this, "Over the head." Miss Tata's calm voice came last.
Fang Plover raised his head.
He had sensed something in the darkness there.
He raised the control gloves without hesitation, and sure enough, he felt the etheric traction line in the dark, connecting to the top of the vault. Fang Yu's mind sank, he opened his five fingers and gave an order, and there was a buzzing sound in the darkness.
The buzzing sound was also very familiar to him.
It is the sound of the clockwork fairy's wings.
Then a silver light appeared in the darkness, and three strange "clockwork fairies" followed his instructions and flew down from that direction.
Fang Yu looked at these three 'clockwork fairies' and was startled for a moment. It was really strange. He had never seen any clockwork fairies of this type before.
The bodies of the three clockwork goblins are silver-white, and the decorations on their surfaces are not the exaggerated flowers and leaves of this era, but relief patterns like eagle feathers. Even above the sphere, there is a figure that matches it.
Eagle head carving.
Fang Plover knew immediately that it was a giant eagle.
One of the sacred beasts of the Numelin elves.
"That's the Silver Chaser."
Miss Tata's calm voice came again.
"Silver Chaser?"
"I don't know much about what they were called in this era, but earlier, mortals called them fighting fairies." Miss Tata replied: "It is a long-lost drawing. In my era, mortals have always been
Dedicated to recreating this broad category of Clockwork Fairies."
"Fighting goblin?" Fang Plover frowned. He seemed to have heard of this name somewhere.
But after thinking about it for a while, I remembered, isn't this the direction that Elpaxin, the dwarf master craftsman who tricked him, is researching? It seems that to this day, people still have not given up on the reproduction of fighting fairies.
Speaking of which, the dwarf alchemist was called Arquette or something. At that time, the dwarf also said that his ideas on the A crystal were of great help to his research on fighting fairies, but he did not know what the other party was.
Research on what's going on so far.
While Fang Yu was thinking about it, Miss Tata suddenly reminded her in the middle of her words: "Be careful, Mr. Knight."
In fact, she didn't need to remind him. Fang Yu had also seen that among the high-hanging black stars in the dark hall, the black pillar in the center began to glow faintly with red light. There were about seven or eight stars.
But he was not in a hurry. Although he had never seen that kind of silver clockwork fairy, as long as the combat craftsman got in touch with the resonance crystal of a flexible structure, he would instantly understand the capabilities of a flexible structure.
full capabilities
Of course, the combat craftsman may not be able to use the relevant components because he does not master some professional skills, but he will at least know how many components this flexible structure has through the information engraved on the resonance crystal.
This is a conventional design method of flexible construction.
So Fang Plov raised his hand, and three silver clockwork goblins opened a light blue shield at the same time. Each side was about the size of a medium-sized kite shield. He let the three silver chasers disperse at the same time, just enough to block almost all of them.
Face your own shooting path.
I saw a flash of red light in the darkness, but almost all attacks landed on the three shields.
In the past, the high temperature of the red light could even melt the floor of the hall, but now it fell on the shield, leaving only a few small light spots, which disappeared in an instant. Only then did Fang Plover discover that these shields seemed to have
Extremely high resistance to elemental attacks.
"That's an elemental shield," Ms. Tata explained: "It's specially designed to resist elemental attacks, but be careful. Mr. Knight, pay attention to temperature control."
Fang Plover nodded.
But it was just the shock in the heart, not shown on the surface. As mentioned before, it is not that contemporary alchemists have not put their thoughts on clockwork fairies and want to transform them into constructs that can be used in battle.
Because the Clockwork Fairy's high speed and agility are the attributes that most combat craftsmen dream of.
However, most of these attempts end in failure, for no other reason than that the heat dissipation system is cumbersome and complicated and cannot be placed on a small and flexible structure. And even if the size of the Clockwork Fairy is further expanded, it will end up being the same as
'Annihilator qv700' has an end.
Agility, flight and attack seem to be an insurmountable barrier for flexible structures, and there is always no balance between the three.
Fang Plover once knew him this way.
But this little silver clockwork fairy completely subverted his cognition.
Inside this 'Silver Chaser', there are not only complete observation devices and communication crystals, but also a self-balancing system, shields and an attack subsystem. Although he has not tested the attack method of this little thing,
But judging from the capabilities of this shield, it must not be just a decoration.
What shocked Fang Pliong even more was that he was so happy that he tried to understand the internal structure of this clockwork fairy, but failed.
Because he found that his craftsmanship ability could not penetrate into it, he could only understand some of the external structure of this clockwork fairy. However, the more detailed parts, as well as the most important resonance crystal (the core crystal of flexible construction) and the cooling system, seemed to have a
An invisible shield prevented him from going deep.
At first, Fang Yu thought this was some kind of confidentiality measure, but after further investigation, he discovered that it was not the case. The craftsman ability was blocked simply because he could not understand some of the basic theories that constituted the resonance crystal and heat dissipation system.
That invisible shield was rather protecting him than rejecting him.
Because if the ether theory does not match and is forced to understand, there are many examples of magic backlash and death on the spot.
The exquisite design of this clockwork goblin is simply unbelievable to Fang Plover. However, thanks to his powerful calculation power, he still has time to explore these things under the siege of seven or eight pitch-black stars. Fang Plover himself does not know it.
, but if other craftsmen who had participated in this assessment knew about it, their jaws would probably drop.
Historically speaking, there are only a handful of people who can truly survive the first wave of attacks.
However, Fang Plover is probably the first one who still has the time to explore the clockwork fairy in his hand. But in fact, Fang Plover is not only interested in the clockwork fairy in his hand, he is even interested in those dark stars.
After all, he had also never heard of the clockwork fairy across from him.
Not to mention him, even Miss Tata couldn't explain why.
"There is no need to investigate, Mr. Knight," Miss Tata only replied quietly: "The Silver Chaser is the work of the Numerin elves. The alchemists of their time were still accustomed to using some elven spells. For those without magic abilities,
For mortals...some of the design ideas of that era are difficult to understand."
She continued: "Therefore, it is natural for some skills to be lost. Most of the craftsmen of our time believe that this is the reason why fighting fairies cannot be reproduced."
Fang Piao had actually thought of this, but it is true that ordinary combat craftsmen do not have the ability to cast spells, but he suddenly thought of a person who was both a magician and a man who aspired to become a combat craftsman, and the latter also had the ability to cast spells.
Really has the basic alchemist level.
Just this thought passed by for a moment, but Miss Tata had already warned: "Be careful, Mr. Knight, the second wave of attacks is coming."
Fang Plover raised his head, and sure enough he saw more "black stars" in the darkness becoming brighter. When they first attacked, there were only seven or eight bright spots, but now the sky is almost full of dark red "starlight"
.
He understood at a glance that he could not block attacks from so many directions by relying solely on the shields of the three 'Silver Chasers'.
He must take the initiative to attack, but taking the initiative to attack is not enough.
"There should be more Silver Chasers up there." Miss Tata replied.
Fang Plover nodded.
This room is called "Extreme Multi-Control". There is no doubt that in every wave of attacks, the combat craftsman's extreme multi-control ability is tested. The skill to be tested in this level, to put it bluntly, is to hit more with more.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be startled.
Speaking of which, isn't this the core idea of constructing the Lord?
However, after thinking about it, Fang Plover subconsciously raised his hand and there were indeed more responses in the darkness to respond to his call. This time, five Fang Plovers pressed their hands, and the five clockwork fairies sank down and rowed.
A silver arc stood between him and the black matrix.
And the dark red light is gathering.
At the same time, Fang Yu also clarified in his mind the amount of calculation required for each 'Silver Chaser'. Surprisingly, the amount of calculation required for this type of silver clockwork goblin is slightly higher than that of ordinary clockwork goblins, but it is higher.
Not too much.
Mainly in terms of temperature control, but if the temperature is well controlled, the extra calculations consumed are not large.
This made Fang Yu couldn't help but think of Hong Ye. The opponent is good at controlling the Annihilator QV700 and is also a very good player at temperature control. If she were here, it probably wouldn't be too difficult. However, the various magical features of the Silver Chaser, Fang
At this moment, the plover can only focus on the power of the Numerin elves.
After all, the alchemist is also the gift left by the latter to the mortals.
Just like the Zero Crystal left to him and to the world by Hain-Fam.
And Fang Yu has completely calmed down at this moment.
After all, he may not be so confident in other aspects, but when it comes to computing power, even if there is no help from Miss Tata in the world behind the door, he is confident that he can stand out from the crowd. After experiencing so many incidents
, Fang Yu has long known that his computing power is basically monster level.
With just eight Silver Chasers, this amount of control was nothing to him. He even had the time to divide the Silver Chasers into two, with one side responsible for offense and the other for defense, using a coordinated tactic.
The attack of more than a dozen pitch-black stars was easily blocked.
However, the test was obviously not over, or rather it had just begun. The dark red stars rose again, and this time the number doubled again, reaching an attack scale of more than twenty.
But this time, there were seven silver clockwork fairies that appeared from the top of the vault. The number of clockwork fairies that Fang Plover controlled once reached fifteen. This number was almost his limit before Fenris and his party.
However, fifteen versus twenty, the result remained unchanged.
In the fourth round of attacks, the world behind the door seemed to consider the limits of the craftsmen, and the intensity of the attack began to weaken. This time, only ten jet black stars joined the attack sequence, bringing the scale of the attack to the order of thirty.
Fang Yu didn't feel any problem at first. After all, he could further increase the number of controls. Although he had to dodge in the interlaced red light from this round of offensive, he could still fight successfully.
return.
This time, his movements were a little slower, and it took him a full five minutes and the loss of two clockwork fairies before he was able to pass the level.
But in the fifth round of attacks, when the remaining twenty jet black stars were activated at the same time and joined the attack sequence, the number of jet black stars still alive on the scene once reached about forty-five to fifty. Although the attacks of these jet black stars are relatively stereotyped,
, and easy to deal with, Fang Plover does not really need to control the same number of numbers to fight against it.
But he suddenly felt something was wrong.
Of course, he can control as many as twenty or thirty clockwork goblins, but what about the others?
Fang Yu then recalled it. Theoretically speaking, even if it was the last wave of attacks, he believed that few combat craftsmen of the same level could withstand it. Not to mention this wave, even he felt a little
Whether it will be successful or not is still a matter of opinion.
