Chapter 932: The more you look, the weirder the space
Tang Shidao floated in mid-air and watched quietly. These multi-legged monster snakes swallowed mud and ice and quickly transported them back to the tower. At the same time, magic robots flew out from the tower one by one, forming a
queue, and then slowly fly into the distance to join the battlefield. It feels like a group of ants in action. With the tower as the base point, it continues to spread to the surrounding area.
After watching it for a long time, Tang Shidao almost had a certain understanding.
This is the same as the automatic refresh in the game.
The tower is not a life. It has no ideas of its own and only has prescribed rules of conduct. The most obvious example is that the tower does not understand tactics and does not know how to concentrate its forces. Every time a batch of magic robots is produced and 10,000 are assembled, this
A large number of troops were sent out. Tang Shidao watched for a long time and never saw "20,000" or "15,000" troops attacking.
Every time it is 10,000, no more than one, no less than one.
In addition, there are no relay stations for the tower's communications.
This is very strange.
because.
Once a distant legion is dispersed, too far apart, and loses contact, the tower will no longer send troops to assist. It can be said that the communication range of the tower has always been between the magic machine puppets and the magic machine puppets
Distance. As long as the magic robots are too far apart to be able to communicate, they will be out of communication. Whether they are killed in battle, damaged, separated, or interfered with, this communication will be interrupted.
Due to this inconvenience, the "monitoring range" of the tower is very limited. It is probably only like the solar system in the mortal world. If it is too far away, the connection will be lost.
Just one day.
Tang Shidao reluctantly calculated that it would only take about a hundred days for the tower to 'gnaw' through the planet. Not only the soil and ice on the surface, but also everything underground. No matter what it is, the multi-legged monster snake
They can all be eaten. In fact, from another nearby planet, more than a dozen strange snakes with many legs have arrived and have a full stomach.
Because they are too far away from the tower, they are waiting on the other side.
As soon as this planet is eaten, the next one will be eaten immediately.
Tang Shidao flew down.
He was about to enter the tower to investigate. To his surprise, some insect-hunting demon puppets suddenly popped up from the surrounding multi-legged snakes, and they all rushed towards him. Tang Shidao was also slightly surprised. These guys were different from other demon puppets.
They 'know' themselves. Look at the many-legged monster snakes devouring dead trees and fish in the frozen sea. Tang Shidao can also understand that these big stomach kings have eaten flesh and blood and know what flesh and blood are.
Very likely.
The tower has the data of flesh and blood life, but it is not copied to the Magic Machine Doll.
For the time being, Tang Shidao didn't understand what the reason was.
but……
"Idiot, be careful, hide quickly." Several voices shouted almost at the same time. In the blink of an eye, dozens of young men and women in half armor and half clothes appeared. Most of them raised their guns and shot to stop the insect-hunting golem. A few activated the equipment.
, as if calling for help. One of them jumped close, took out a watch-like instrument, and quickly put it into Tang Shidao's hand.
The instrument was put on and the visitor pressed a button to start it.
There was a slight flash of electric light, and Tang Shidao entered the 'invisible' state in the blink of an eye.
"Be careful not to make any noise, don't activate the magic energy, and don't hit the surrounding rocks. Follow me, they will cover us soon. Hurry, or more people will die." The person spoke, and it was a rough man.
The voice of a heroic man. Judging from his tone, he was vaguely the leader of this group of people.
"Oh." Tang Shidao listened and followed.
In fact.
Are these insect-hunting golems scary?
No!
Not to mention them, plus all the many-legged monster snakes and tall towers, Tang Shidao might also die in the sun in a "divine light".
but.
It can be seen from the cosmic cemetery in space that this is meaningless. There is not one tower, nor tens of millions. To be able to produce so many golem remains, the number of towers must be an unimaginable number.
In addition, Tang Shidao did not expect much technical data on the tower. After all, the magical puppets it created could not even distinguish life, and only the insect-hunting puppets defending at a close distance could.
It can be seen that there is not much information about the tower.
Let’s take a look at the equipment of these people. It’s not too strong, but they dare to attack to such an extent, which shows that the tower is not too strong either.
Just as Tang Shidao expected.
Everyone fought hard to stop the enemy.
Please rescue the spaceship and escape.
Then.
Chased by a group of flying golems, the spaceship fled into deep space in embarrassment.
Into the cosmic graveyard of deep space.
Thrilling shuttle.
After finally getting rid of the pursuit of the Magic Machine Puppets, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The leading man took off his helmet, and he looked like a strong and powerful man. He stretched out his hand to signal, and turned on Tang Shidao's electric stealth meter.
, and then introduced himself: "My name is Tie Peng. You have magic power, right? Can you understand what I mean?"
"Well, magic power can directly sense your thoughts." Tang Shidao nodded.
At this time, everyone did not put down their firearms.
The armor is still on.
The will to fight is still there.
"We have no hostility, and we hope you are not our enemy." Tie Peng first put down his weapon to show that he was harmless: "We saved you because we are all living beings, not golem machines. If you have other bad thoughts, we
You won't be polite either. Of course, you don't mean any harm, and we also hope to have one more friend who understands magic."
"I just want to check out the tower." Tang Shidao was surprised that there was someone inside.
"That won't work, the Myriad-footed Insect won't let you in. Even if you have the ability to fly, Myriad-poded Insects, in addition to knife-hunting insects and flying-hunting insects, can also stop you in the sky." Tie Peng turned on the imager system and placed it on the back of his hand.
There are some pictures displayed on the screen, which are the pictures of the human army invading the tower from the air and being blocked.
The so-called ten thousand legged insect must be a multi-legged monster snake.
Knife hunting insects and flying hunting insects are easy to identify. The ones with bladed claws are different from those with flying wings.
"Can I ask a few questions?" Tang Shidao gestured.
"Yes. As long as you are a living species and as long as you have no ill intentions, we are friends." Tie Peng said with a smile.
"Thank you. First of all, aren't you curious about my origins?" Tang Shidao said with a smile.
"Ah...hehe, it doesn't matter. In this universe, the most insignificant thing is probably your origin. No matter which fallen planet you come from, whether you just woke up from a deep sleep or died and were reborn, as long as you are a living race, as long as you are not
Malice, we are all friends." Tie Peng repeated, indicating that the life races are on the same front.
"I see. So, can the tower create life?"
"No. According to all our history, the Tower has never created life. It is even said that it will not attack us deliberately, but... it will eat our planet. Whatever has the most energy, it will eat first.
For example, in this area, it first ate the sun and turned other planets into icy Death Stars. We can't win or consume them, so we have to evacuate."
"Where do you live?" Tang Shidao asked subconsciously.
"The head of the giant golem, or the shell of the body, or the arms and big feet. In short, as long as it is large enough. The tower only eats planets with energy, and will not take back the remains of the dead giant golem. So,
These giant puppet shells are very safe. However, if there is too much energy inside and the roving tenipedes find out, they may invade and rob them.”
"Do you have a magic spring?" Tang Shidao asked again.
"Demon spring? Haha, that's an old thing. Some bigger forces have it. Our stronghold doesn't have it, most strongholds don't have it. It's not easy to train mages. Besides, having a magic spring is very easy to recruit.
The insects covet you. If you want to borrow the magic spring, well, it's possible. However, you must join their legion and help them protect their stronghold."
"I understand." Tang Shidao knew that Tie Peng had misunderstood, but did not explain: "Why don't you use magic machinery?"
"This... firearm? Well, we have it, but we don't use it. Because it consumes too much energy, we can't afford it. Sometimes, it is only used for the defense of the stronghold. Moreover, the magic machine is easy to be discovered by them, and it is difficult to sneak in and steal things.
.”
"Just now you sneaked in to steal water and..."
"Well, ice and some necessary industrial elements. Our stronghold needs these, and the living races also need these. To put it bluntly, things without magic are safer outside. For example, now, even if they encounter a group of golems, they will not
It will hurt us unless you walk under its feet and be trampled to death. It will only recognize us around high towers or around ten thousand foot insects. If you bring a magic machine, you may be in danger here."
Tang Shidao understood it immediately.
The tower is not an intruder against living races, it is not here to kill. To be more precise, it is here to 'eat'.
Unfortunately.
The survival of a living species requires the planet, and its food also happens to be the planet.
Faintly.
Tang Shidao realized something strange. This seemed to be a very special setting plan. It did not eradicate the life race, but it continued to cause disasters. It felt like a 'trial'. But it was not for one person.
A trial, but a trial for an entire race of life.
"By the way, I haven't asked for your name yet?"
"My name is Tang Shidao."
"Oh, hello, Mr. Tang. These are my teammates, they are..." Tie Peng introduced the others, and everyone just nodded, obviously not fully trusting. In their world, mages are not strange existences. But
, the existence of mages is very special. Some people have been sleeping since ancient times and have just woken up after being disturbed. Some people are already dead, but are activated with the help of magic and come back to life.
Some mages like to help everyone, and some mages hate everyone.
There is also the matter of ignoring anyone.
On the other hand, mages are a very useful force, and they are also a source of trouble. In addition to being free and unsocial, attracting the attention of golems is also a trouble. Some very large strongholds will also cultivate mages on their own, and
Well done. However, according to some official instructions: there is an upper limit to the power of a mage.
Once it reaches a certain level, the power of mages and spells cannot be increased.
The reason is not yet clear.
But, all in all, people still need to rely on technical strength to protect everyone, and mages can only be regarded as special generals or special staff. These 'humanoid weapons' are good if they are good, and they are also disasters if they are bad.
Under normal circumstances, everyone would stay a little away from me.
At this time.
The stronghold has been flown. Through the screen, Tang Shidao also saw some seriously damaged and flaming spaceships. These spaceships all looked like "hands" and "feet" or "torso". It was not difficult to imagine that they were made by golems.
Their bodies have been modified. The war is still going on, so we can imagine that their situation is not good.
Tie Peng and others frowned, and exhaled again when they saw the signal.
Apparently, they are used to it.
"I hope it won't be too bad." Tie Peng murmured softly, knowing that the legion had gained something, but it had also suffered a lot of damage.
The stronghold in front of you.
It is clearly a huge 'head', the head of a devil.
The most surprising.
"Captain Tiepeng, is it still alive?" Tang Shidao asked, pointing to the stronghold.
"No, because the intelligence requires us to activate some functions, which can probably detect whether there is an army of golems around. If there is, we have to be prepared to fight. Of course, we must turn it off, otherwise we will be watched closely."
"I see, you also know how to use these technologies."
