After a while, Soldier King Mo Juanyun ordered: "Go ahead and put the 18-meter combat puppet on standby around the clock."
The 18-meter combat puppet is the most powerful puppet besides the 15-meter combat puppet. It has been tested in actual combat many times and is very reliable.
This 18-meter-sized puppet uses medium-grade raw stone as its driving energy, and its designer is none other than the first-generation soldier king.
The first generation of King of War was extremely great, and he was known as the greatest blacksmith in history.
His works have always been imitated and never surpassed.
The concept of using high-quality raw stones as driving energy came from him.
It can be said that under the blessing of the superb wisdom of the first generation of King of War, the 18-meter combat puppet is perfect in all aspects, mature and stable, and its overall strength is between the peak of the first rank and the sword master.
But few people know that their real lethality is actually higher than that of Juggernaut.
After all, puppets can self-destruct.
"yes."
The eunuch in red was respectful.
Facing such a terrifying opponent as Master Xu Zhu, King Bing reacted as if facing a formidable enemy, which was completely reasonable.
"As for that Xu Zhu..."
Bingwang Mo Juanyun suddenly stopped, with a cold and stern arc on his lips, and hummed: "Let him dry out first, I want to see what he wants to do when he comes to our Bingzhou."
The eunuch in red understood this.
No matter who it is, the fox's tail will always be exposed.
…
…
Third ring area.
The world-famous "Juzi Academy" is located here. It is a paradise school that all blacksmiths dream of, cultivating generations of outstanding talents.
People were coming and going in front of the gate, all dressed uniformly, wearing blue robes with a golden hammer embroidered on the chest, representing the proud identity of a blacksmith.
Da da da……
A carriage stopped in front of the gate of Juzi Academy.
Then, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women got out of the car.
The young woman was so beautiful and charming that people immediately stopped and looked at her.
"Sir, the looks from these people make me very uncomfortable. Can I eat them?"
This pair of handsome men and beautiful women are Wei An and Man Yueniang.
After the two got along for a few days, Man Yue Niang, who had no worries about food and drink, gradually became bolder and couldn't help but want to expand the range of ingredients.
For example, since death row prisoners can be eaten, can certain criminals who deserve to be punished for their heinous crimes but will not be tried also be allowed to eat?
For another example, if someone who takes the initiative to provoke me is in legitimate defense, would it be reasonable to eat him?
Wei An ignored her and walked to Juzi College on his own.
When I looked up, I saw a huge statue standing on the big lawn behind the gate. It had a majestic posture and stretched muscles, resembling a blacksmith, hammering and forging iron.
This statue is clearly the first generation of King of War.
Juzi University of Higher Education was founded by the first generation of King of War. You can see the famous saying of the first generation of King of War written directly under the statue: "Love all, don't attack, stick to the rules!"
Wei An stood with his hands behind his hands, thoughtful.
The full moon girl was bored and looked around casually.
The two of them attracted too much attention, and more and more people were watching. Not long after, a young man wearing gold and jade came over, followed by five or six people of the same age.
As soon as this group of people appeared, they immediately attracted attention, and many people made way for them in fear.
The young man shook his paper fan, looked straight at the Full Moon Mother, looked at her without scruples, walked straight over, cupped his hands and said: "This girl, you look very unfamiliar, aren't you a student of our Juzi College?"
The full moon mother did not squint her eyes and did not look at the young man.
She has no interest in inedible food and does not want to pay attention to it.
The young man was ignored, his face suddenly darkened slightly, and he laughed and said: "Deng Hanchong, my father is Deng Dengtai, the Taibao Lord of the dynasty. May I ask the girl what her name is?"
The Full Moon Mother remained silent.
The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Seeing this scene, the people around started whispering.
At this time, Wei An walked forward and entered the gate, and Man Yueniang immediately followed him.
"you……"
When Deng Hanchong saw this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed and angry.
Whoosh!
Two figures suddenly swooped away and jumped in front of Wei An and Man Yueniang, blocking their way.
One of the young men with a square face opened his arms and shouted with an angry look on his face: "How outrageous! This is Juzi Academy, who allowed you to enter?"
Wei An clasped his hands behind his back and asked: "Juzi Academy, doesn't anyone welcome to enter?"
The square-faced young man sneered: "Who said that?"
Wei An said calmly: "Juzi Academy was established by the first generation of King of War. As far as I know, the original intention of the first generation of King of War to open the school was to broaden the people's wisdom and educate everyone. Therefore, anyone is allowed to enter Juzi Academy to visit and study, even in order to establish
Based on this concept, Juzi Academy did not have a school gate at the beginning, just like the government city had no city walls. I would like to ask, are you violating the legacy of the first generation of King of War?"
"Ah this..."
The face of the square-faced young man changed and he was speechless.
He is Deng Hanchong's follower. He is not good at reasoning. He is used to being domineering and bullies people directly. However, this is the gate of the college after all. There are many people and it is difficult to be rude.
"Hey, how can you, an outsider, comment on the legacy of the first generation of King of War?"
Deng Hanchong was reluctant, walked over, blocked in front of Wei An, shook the paper fan and said: "The first generation of King of Soldiers also said that there are no rules without rules. There are rules everywhere, and the rule of our Juzi Academy is that, without permission,
No trespassing allowed."
Wei An turned his head and glanced at Deng Hanchong, and a line of light gathered above the man's head.
[Life entry: A knife on the head of the word sex]
[Golden Finger Ability: The more people you know, the sharper your knife will be. 】
"...What the hell is this?"
Wei An was speechless for a while, then said calmly: "The first generation of the King of Soldiers also said that only by being fearful can you be fearless!"
The next moment, everyone's eyes blurred, and Wei An disappeared from their sight.
Deng Han's heart skipped a beat, and he twisted his stiff neck and looked back.
At some point, Wei An had already passed by him and the square-faced young man, and was walking forward leisurely.
"Hehe~~"
Full Moon Mother seemed to laugh, which sounded like a sneer, and she followed him with small steps.
Deng Hanchong froze on the spot, not daring to catch up.
The square-faced young man and others were greatly embarrassed. They looked at Deng Hanchong, who had a gloomy face, and could not help but break out in cold sweat.
He lowered his voice and said, "Sir, this man seems to be a master."
"Huh, do you think I'm blind?"
Deng Hanchong put away the paper fan and looked at Wei An's retreating figure, his expression uncertain for a while, "Go and find out where this guy came from. He doesn't even take me, Deng Hanchong, seriously."
Almost at the same time!
The security room of Juzi Academy suddenly received a warning:
The mechanical puppet at the school gate scanned a person's face, which was highly similar to a wanted criminal!
As a result, the security office quickly dispatched.
A moment later, Wei An and Man Yueniang, who were looking around in the academy, saw two large puppets 24 meters high, surrounding them one behind the other.
Under the transparent world, the situation inside the puppet is clear at a glance.
There are three cockpits inside this puppet, located at the brain, heart, and belly. There is one person in each cockpit.
In other words, posture, a large puppet, requires the cooperation of three people.
"stop!"
The puppet made a huge voice, but it sounded like a clear female voice, "You two, stay where you are and get checked."
Wei An saw the person who spoke, it was the person in the puppet's head, a young woman wearing tight clothes, with short hair and a dashing appearance.
There is an internal force flowing in the young woman's body, but the internal force is not very strong, indicating that her cultivation level is only at the early stage of the fifth level.
However, the large puppet she and her two companions control is quite extraordinary. Its strength reaches the first-level realm. Under overload, it can even explode with a full blow equivalent to a first-level peak powerhouse.
Wei An said calmly: "Is there any problem?"
The young woman replied: "Please answer, are you a wanted criminal?"
Wei An felt his head clear, nodded and said: "Well, I was wanted by Emperor Tianwu for killing King Sword and Prince Li, but Emperor Tianwu is already finished. Now Emperor Liangwu Dong Zhuo is in charge, and he has never wanted me.
"
"W-what did you say?!"
The young woman was shocked and quickly scanned the emerald identity token that Wei An carried.
Name: Wei An
Former name: Xu Zhu (Dharma name)
"you you……"
The young woman's color changed drastically, her breathing became stagnant, she became highly nervous, and she was at a loss for a moment.
"stop!"
Suddenly, several figures flew over, all wearing fiery red robes, and landed three feet away in front of Wei An. The leader was a bald old man, only 1.7 meters tall. He was extremely lean, but his whole body exuded...
A fierce and domineering atmosphere.
"Master!"
The young woman was overjoyed.
This bald old man is none other than Xu Xianlun, the dean of Juzi College, known as Master Xu in the world.
Behind Master Xu were four men and two women, all teachers from Juzi Academy. They all looked at Wei An with extremely solemn expressions, as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
"Master Xu Zhu, I have long admired your name."
Master Xu pondered for a moment, then cupped his hands calmly and said with a smile: "There was a little misunderstanding just now. Please don't blame me, Master."
"It doesn't matter."
Wei An smiled faintly and praised: "I didn't expect that Juzi Academy's defense system is so perfect. It's eye-opening to me and I admire it so much."
"Hahaha, it's just a small trick."
Master Xu raised his head and smiled, stretched out his hand in a gesture of invitation, "Master has come a long way. Please come to my study for a cup of light tea."
Wei An is incompetent.
The tense atmosphere disappeared instantly, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
After a while, Wei An sat down, and Full Moon Mother stood beside him obediently, lowering her head and not looking at anyone, for fear that she might not hold back and eat some lovely food.
"Hold on, hold on, there will be something to eat in the evening."
The full moon girl swallowed her saliva.
Master Xu sat down and asked with a smile: "Master, I heard that you were in Jianzhou a while ago, why did you suddenly come to Bingzhou?"
Wei An didn't mince words and said directly: "Not long ago, I met a master and after defeating him, I realized that the man was actually a puppet..."
Before he finished speaking, Master Xu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Isn't that possible? How can a puppet disguise itself as a living person? You mean, the appearance of that puppet is not much different from that of a human being, and it can still move freely?"
Wei An nodded and said: "More than that, that puppet is more powerful than any sword master I have ever encountered."
"……What?!"
Master Xu finally realized something was wrong and said in shock: "Seriously?"
Wei An turned over his hand, took out a high-grade rough stone, threw it over, and said, "This is the driving energy of that puppet."
Master Xu raised his hand and took it, holding it in his hand for a closer look. The expression on his face changed rapidly, sometimes unbelievable, sometimes incredible, and sometimes inexplicably shocked.
"This high-grade rough stone clearly shows traces of energy being extracted..."
The more Master Xu looked, the more surprised he became. He raised his head and looked at Wei An with a very serious expression, and quickly asked: "Where is that puppet?"
Wei An said calmly: "It has been destroyed by me."
"Where are the fragments? There must be fragments left, right?" Master Xu was so excited that he wanted to immediately search for the puppet's remains and take them over for careful study.
Wei An laughed and said, "Do you think there are any wreckage left?"
Master Xu was startled, looked down at the high-grade rough stone, and suddenly said: "That's right, the high-grade rough stone is the driving energy of the puppet. After it is destroyed, it must be very completely destroyed, and it is almost impossible to leave any wreckage."
As he spoke, the look of regret on his face was indescribable, and he looked helpless.
Seeing this, Wei An couldn't help but become more convinced of his inference. The faceless man's puppets could never be products of this world. They came from the outside world.
He asked: "Based on your experience, who do you think made that puppet?"
"No such person exists!"
Master Xu said flatly: "Don't say there is such a person, even that puppet, this dean has never heard of it."
Wei An understood that his purpose of coming to Juzi Academy had been achieved.
At this time, Master Xu thought of something. He suddenly cheered up and said with bright eyes: "Since that puppet attacked you, it means that its owner has a grudge against you. If it can't kill you once, there will definitely be a next time."
He stood up excitedly, stared at Wei And and said, "Next time, let's work together to capture the puppet and find its owner together. What do you think?"
Wei An thought for a while and asked: "Master, I'm curious about something. Are the puppets you made resistant to the 'fog'?"
"Mist?!"
Master Xu was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood what Wei An's intention was, "Could it be that you want to use puppets to explore the misty world?"
Wei An asked back: "Has no one tried this?"
Master Xu nodded and said: "Of course there is, but to be honest, there is not much progress."
Wei An's eyes lit up, he stood up and said, "Can you lend me the relevant information?"
"Can."
Master Xu agreed without thinking. He had already confirmed that Wei An had no ill intentions, and that he had an unprecedented and important discovery, and the research value was too great.
Wei An thought for a while and made a request: "Master, could you please take me to visit Juzi College? In addition, I would like to get to know the best teachers and students in the college."
"Haha, I would have arranged it even if you didn't tell me." Master Xu laughed, and immediately took Wei An out of the calligraphy school and walked around the academy, introducing him warmly along the way.
Wei An looked around and found that Juzi Academy offered many subjects, such as forging weapons, forging civilian facilities and daily necessities, forging armor, etc.
His mind was moved and he asked: "Master, why are these subjects so deserted and so few students seem to be willing to study them?"
Hearing this, Master Xu couldn't help but sigh and said: "I think back then, the original intention of the first-generation military king to create this academy was to cultivate all-round blacksmith talents and benefit the people of the world. However, with the changes of the times,
People gradually discovered that the most powerful weapons are not swords, guns, swords and halberds, but puppets."
"A combat-type puppet driven by a middle-grade raw stone, its strength is completely enough to rival an upper-third-grade strong man."
He pointed out a cruel fact with a serious expression, "To cultivate a strong person of the third level requires continuous investment for decades or even hundreds of years. A few people can successfully advance, but most people fail.
However, as long as the technology is mature and the supply of materials is stable, it will only take three to five years to build a powerful puppet, which is not too exciting at all."
Wei An understood instantly.
On Blue Star, this is the difference between intelligent robots and artificial intelligence. The gap between the two will only get wider as the technology falls and needs to be updated.
In the end, intelligent robots will surely replace human workers.
This is the inevitable trend and cannot be stopped.
The current situation in Bingzhou is exactly like this. The advantages shown by puppets are very obvious. For rulers, instead of cultivating uncontrollable warriors, it is better to create more absolutely loyal puppets.
Even the King of Soldiers, Mo Juanyun, repeatedly threatened: "The Zhou Dynasty should abandon martial arts and fully develop the art of puppetry."
Master Xu said worriedly: "To be honest, if practicing martial arts can extend your life to 500 years, I am afraid that the idea of the King of War will really become a reality, and puppets will inevitably completely replace warriors and mortals."
Wei An understood and pondered: "To what extent have you developed the puppets now?"
Speaking of this, Master Xu suddenly looked proud, raised two fingers and said: "Puppets are divided into two types, one is the automatic type. This type of puppet imitates humans and is completely automated, as if it has intelligence.
Of course, complete automation is not yet possible, and the level of intelligence is very low. It can only perform some simple behavioral instructions.
The other is the exoskeleton type, which is put on the human body like armor and is completely operated by humans.
So far, all powerful combat-type puppets belong to the second type of exoskeleton, requiring at least one person to operate, and as many as three to seven people."
At this point, he sighed deeply: "Now you should understand how outrageous it is for you to mention that puppet that can independently conduct offensive and defensive battles and has a body shape similar to humans!"
Wei An nodded and said, "That thing should be an automatic high-level puppet."
Master Xu spread his hands and said: "Yes, to make an automatic high-level puppet, you need to build an intelligent core that is comparable to the human brain, and it also needs to be matched with a strong and flexible imitation human body. It is too difficult! I can't imagine what that thing is.
How was it made?"
Wei An asked: "Do puppets also have clear grades?"
"have!"
Master Xu nodded and said: "Puppets are divided into level one to level nine from low to high. In theory, a level nine puppet is equivalent to a level one master. However, in practice, considering that puppets can self-destruct, level nine puppets often
Slightly stronger than the first level. If multiple ninth-level puppets cooperate to fight, it can even be enough to repel the sword master."
Wei An couldn't help but was speechless and asked curiously: "Are there many ninth-level puppets?"
"Each ninth-level puppet is expensive to build, and the maintenance fee is extremely high. It will have to be retired after more than fifty years. Due to various restrictions, the number of ninth-level puppets is destined not to be too many."
Master Xu smiled and said that the specific number was confidential and he naturally could not disclose it.
Wei An had his head clear and didn't ask any more questions.
Not long after, a group of people entered an open classroom, which was full of people. Teachers were sitting in the front row, and students were sitting in the back row. They were of different ages, ranging from teenagers to young adults. There were more than 500 good people, and the males were older.
More than a quarter are women.
Master Xu said proudly: "Master, here are the most outstanding teachers and students of our Juzi College."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone stood up in unison, lowered their heads and cupped their hands and said, "I have met Master Xu Zhu."
Wei An glanced over, and immediately, the light from everyone's bodies escaped and gathered above their heads, condensing into detailed attribute information.
"synthesis!"
Suddenly, everyone's heads blurred, and then the whole classroom was filled with colors.
As expected of the talents selected by Master Xu, after his approval, the life entries of these teachers and students were at least level 3 emerald bronze, with dozens of gold entries, and three rainbow entries.
They are:
[Six-fingered craftsmanship: You are born with six fingers and are clever and handy. Every time you forge an item, your forging skills will be improved]
[Wind Hammer: The quality of any material tempered by your hands will be improved. The more sweat you put in, the greater the material improvement will be]
[Pao Ding Yushou: You are good at dismantling any device, no matter what it is. After you touch it, you will know the structure of the device and the specific forging process]
Wei An smiled with satisfaction and said, "No courtesy, you don't have to be polite."
Everyone raised their heads, sat down in a hurry, and looked carefully at the young and handsome Wei An, all wanting to take a look at this legendary figure who stirred up the world.
However, most men are quickly attracted to the Full Moon Girl.
There is no way, her figure is impeccable, her face is breathtakingly exquisite, and she has an indescribable fatal attraction to men.
"Ahem!"
Master Xu obviously noticed that everyone's gazes had shifted, and he felt displeased. He coughed heavily and said loudly: "Master Xu Zhu is here to give guidance. Those of you who have no experience in martial arts, please cheer up. Master, I will teach you later."
I will personally test the weight of your work, do you understand?"
"Well……"
Wei An had no such intention.
However, Master Xu smiled and said: "Master, you are the ceiling of combat power. Just take action once and let these ignorant guys understand the charm of martial arts."
