"Install arcane power wheels and shock absorbers."
"The design drawing is being regenerated..."
"Finish."
Huang Shang stood in the center, looking at the magic construction drawings he designed.
Simple white color, smooth structure, and unremarkable configuration. After all, it is the first magic structure, and the requirements are not high.
"There are seventy-two arcane nodes and five hundred and thirty-nine arcane circuits."
"cost……"
"Three hundred and seventy gold coins?"
Huang Shang held his chin and calculated the cost.
Seems a bit high.
Magicians are notorious for spending money very quickly, and those who study magic constructs are among the best.
The currency of World of Warcraft is divided into gold coins, silver coins and copper coins. In a peaceful era without war, a few silver coins can support an ordinary family of three in Lordaeron for a month, and a hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coin.
Therefore, the purchasing power of gold coins is really strong.
More than three hundred gold coins, that is wealth that even ordinary nobles cannot easily come up with. Now they can only exchange for a basic structure?
As the prince of Lordaeron, he certainly does not have to worry about the money, but the king cannot allow him to spend it casually.
"Thankfully Kel'Thuzad!"
But Huang Shang thought about it and realized that he still had Mr. Ke.
In this profession of mage, the poor will die poor and the rich will bleed.
As the top mage, Kel'Thuzad is undoubtedly the kind of invisible top rich man.
The magic props he sells every year are worth at least ten thousand gold. After excluding the cost and daily research expenses, there is still a balance of six to seven thousand gold.
so……
What else do you need to worry about?
"Start smelting arcane metal."
"Made from mithril, thorium, and true silver, three arcane affinity materials, the ratio is five to three to four, and the first stage is fused at a high temperature of three thousand degrees."
Huang Shang walked into the nearby forging workshop.
This was specially prepared for him by Kel'Thuzad. There was no such place in Dalaran, and the evenly cut metal ingots had already been placed.
Each piece weighed five kilograms. Huang Shang, with his bare arms and the holy light protecting his skin, put the metal ingots into the high-temperature furnace and began to burn out liquid metal.
Hoo! Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!
Not only is it simply heated, it also requires stirring.
Even with the assistance of instruments, it is not purely artificial. For a weak mage, operating such a machine is impossible, but for a strong paladin, it is not a problem.
His arms held the lever, and the holy light and arcane power interacted, spinning quickly and slowly.
This is just this step. When the mixing is completed, the melted liquid metal must be put into the cooling furnace and frozen rapidly in an environment of minus 70 degrees Celsius.
This process requires precise control of magic power, otherwise it will easily freeze, especially since the solidified alloy will then melt and freeze again, repeating the boring process.
According to the textbook, Silver Moon City has to repeat this step twenty times before refining the alloy that is most suitable for magical construction.
Huang Shang now began to imitate the refining methods of Silver Moon City.
Huchi! Huchi! Huchi!
There was no pressure for the first ten times, but when the eleventh time started, his arm already felt a faint soreness, as if he had swung the sword three thousand times, and the power of the holy light could not eliminate the physical fatigue.
But by the fifteenth time, not only physical fatigue but also mental fatigue hit me hard.
"It's a good practice."
On the surface, Huang Shang showed a look of exhaustion and perseverance, but in fact, his cultivation level showed no fluctuations in the adversity of gods and demons, and he used the creation process perfectly for the internal and external tempering of this physical body.
Finally, a huge piece of metal alloy was lying on the experimental table, with air-conditioning emanating from all directions.
This is the magic construction material with the scientific name "Arcane Metal".
It's not over yet.
The magic beam enveloped it, magnifying the alloy like a microscope, and you could see that the seemingly flat surface revealed unequal crystal surfaces.
This is the unqualified part. It needs to be polished to make the surface uniform and dense, so that it can be a true arcane metal that can carry magic lines.
And these are only the basic materials of the construction, as well as supporting bones, movable joints, armor plates, external weapons...
No wonder Silver Moon City wants industrial mass production, such labor is really unbearable.
"Take your time!"
Huang Shang was not impatient and continued to create.
The difficulty of each part is different. Arcane metal is the most difficult, and supporting the bones is relatively simple. Use shaping techniques to make a mold, and then pour hot molten steel into it. If you are skilled in the technique, it can be done in one smelting.
Huang Shang first started with the main frame, and then moved on to the bones of the hands and arms. During the process, he drew arcane metal and embedded it in the bones, just like a human body.
This step is the most delicate operation, and the elimination rate is very high. If you are not careful, both materials will be scrapped and you will have to start over.
When the above is completed, arcane crystals the size of fingernails are embedded in the joints and arranged in the order of the magic circle to move the joints.
These movable joints are connected to the power core in the abdominal cavity. Due to Huang Shang's wealth, he directly connected to the eight-core processor. The route to connect the joints is very short, and the possibility of failure will be greatly reduced. If there is only one core, it is accessible in all directions.
If there is a slight deviation in the connection of the veins, the entire structure will be paralyzed.
When the body frame is completed, a magic circle is carved on the silver-white skin so that the internal core can absorb external examples, which is equivalent to solar charging.
The final intelligent system is outsourced.
There is currently no good production method for these things, so they can only be purchased from Silvermoon City, and Kel'Thuzad has already prepared them.
I don’t know if there is a backdoor. Maybe the arrogant elves disdain to do that, but who can say for sure?
Of course, I heard that Medivh, the guardian on the human side, developed an intelligent system on his own, but Medivh has lost contact with Dalaran. According to senior officials, he is probably related to the Dark Portal. He wants to get this from this person.
It is obviously unrealistic to have an intelligent system on your body.
For a whole month, Huang Shang was tinkering with this magical construct in Kel'Thuzad's mage tower.
When a finished product with a height of five meters appeared in front of him, he was a little moved.
Although this thing in the main temple is not unusual at all, it feels completely different to do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!
"Activate intelligence!"
When his mental power was connected to the magic circle on the forehead of the magic construct, more than five hundred arcane circuits were lit up, dozens of arcane nodes glowed, and they were all hidden under the skin. The long and narrow head
The eyes light up, and the core arcane energy is activated, recording the owner's information and identifying it as the highest authority.
The next moment, the mechanical voice sounded: "Vulcan No. 1, hello to you, master, please give the order."
Huang Shang happily gave the order: "Lift your right leg and stamp it down hard!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Lift your left leg and stamp it down hard!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
…
“Outstanding work!”
The mage tower was shaken, and Kel'Thuzad's voice suddenly sounded from behind: "If Silvermoon City knew that it took you just over a month to build such a flexible magic construct, those elves who can't change even if they eat the ancients...
We must have trouble sleeping and eating again!"
After a pause, Kel'Thuzad said: "Don't let Kael'thas see that the elf prince is also wary of the rapid advancement of human magic."
Huang Shang nodded.
Alsace and Kaelthas are both princes.
But the guy behind him doesn’t have the trouble of being a fool, alas...
As an elf prince who has lived for more than six hundred years, Kael'thas' desire to ascend to the throne seems out of reach, perhaps because his name contains Ers, but his prestige is extremely high and he is good at adapting.
A member of the Kirin Tor Council of Six.
The Elf Prince sits in the magical kingdom of humans, expressing both friendliness and defensiveness.
Elves can accept human progress, but they cannot accept human transcendence. After all, the gap in lifespan and background between the two sides is too large. The accumulation of tens of thousands of years is being caught up by humans in hundreds of years. No one can stand this.
But many times, the more you fear, the more things will happen.
Kael'thas felt that as a prince, he must always monitor the magic level of humans and use pressure to urge the progress of the elves in the country.
This is a good thing, at least it is healthy competition, but if humans act too far ahead, it will be difficult to say.
Although Kel'Thuzad was outside the social group and was a bystander, he was the most sober.
"Like the King of Lordaeron, the minds of these guys have been corroded to a certain extent..."
Huang Shang watched with cold eyes, already knowing something in his mind, but he didn't reveal anything.
For the time being, he has no power to change, so it is better to develop silently.
"Even if you made this magic construct, as an apprentice, I will run for you."
Huang Shang expressed that he had received it and took the magic construct with him, ready to install the armor.
The level of his forging is not enough to make armor plates and external weapons. Like the intelligent system, he plans to use the ready-made ones in Silver Moon City and spray them with paint.
Huang Shang named this magic construct Vulcan No. 1. He had a plan. He had to have some flame aura on his body to show his majesty.
"Give!"
Without saying a word, Kel'Thuzad handed a heavy bag of gold coins to his hand.
What a great instructor!
Huang Shang took it unceremoniously, took out the space bag, and put the magic construct inside.
Kel'Thuzad waved his magic wand and used teleportation magic to send Huang Shang away.
Watching his apprentice leave, he looked away and subconsciously began to look for his beloved cat.
Mr. Bigworth became a father, and he has been visiting the kittens during this time. He was sincerely happy for Mr. Bigworth, but at the same time regretful about his wife.
If they had kids back then...
Immersed in memories, after a while, Kel'Thuzad put away his gentle expression and showed determination again.
Spiritualism can resurrect his wife, make his soul immortal, and his life continue forever.
He firmly believes that one day, he can do it.
"Bigglesworth! Bigglesworth!"
After working hard, Kel'Thuzad personally cleaned the litter in the cat's nest, filled it with cat food, and after doing everything, he started calling his cat.
At this point in time, it’s time to come back.
After waiting for a while, there was no response.
Kel'Thuzad frowned slightly, and his mental power suddenly spread out like an Arctic glacier.
He realized something was wrong.
As a member of the six-person Kirin Tor Council, although they don't control the overall situation like Antonidas does, Dalaran is also half of his home court.
Ever since, the next moment, Kel'Thuzad's usually expressionless and cold face suddenly showed unprecedented anger and rage, and he roared:
"No!!!!!"
…
"Ha, I finally caught it!"
Back when Huang Shang had just left the Mage Tower, he was blocked as soon as he took a step forward.
Jaina jumped out from the grass next to her, stared at him angrily with her big eyes, and slapped her nose again: "Ah, didn't you take a shower? Why do you smell so bad?"
Huang Shang smelled it and found that it was not a bad smell, but a metallic smell. He glanced at a group of kittens behind her: "Are these?"
Gianna said: "These are Bob's children. She gave birth to a litter half a month ago. I sent you a secret message. Didn't you read it?"
Huang Shang smiled sincerely: "No."
Jaina: "W(￣_￣)W"
"Where's the she-cat?"
Huang Shang was stunned and suddenly became concerned.
He was the one who took the initiative to lure the Samsara Man here. The cat was obviously possessed by the Samsara Man. I didn’t expect that the other party worked so hard to disguise himself, and even gave birth to cubs!
Please put your professionalism on the public screen!
"Bob ran away..."
Gianna didn't know about the love and hatred happening around her, and said sadly: "She entrusted these children to me, and I must raise them well!"
"Indeed, there is the flesh and blood of reincarnated people in it!"
Huang Shang lowered his head and teased the kitten, inexplicably thinking of Yu Qian's little mare, so he picked up one and walked forward.
Jaina followed, brewing up an argument to persuade him to abandon the dark side and join the bright side: "Where are you going?"
Huang Shangdao: "I went to the processing workshop. The instructor made a magic device. I want to arm it..."
Jaina was curious: "Arch Mage Kel'Thuzad, are you still interested in magic constructs?"
She worked as Antonidas's apprentice for a month. Her talent and hard work made her magical attainments improve by leaps and bounds, and she was praised by everyone.
Therefore, she also had a repulsive and disgusting attitude towards necromancy, and Kel'Thuzad also became the kind of pervert who lay naked in the cemetery at night with his two hairy thighs looking for inspiration.
The current magic construct suddenly brought her fantasy back to reality...
Huang Shang glanced at her: "Don't believe what you hear. If Archmage Kel'Thuzad is really the evil in the legend, will Archmage Antonidas ignore it?!"
Gianna was speechless for a moment: "It seems so!"
The two walked along, followed by a group of little kittens, and soon arrived at the magic workshop.
This place is very lively, with people from all over the world coming in and out, because the magic props for sale are purchased here.
At certain times, the daily flow of gold coins in this workshop may be comparable to the currency circulation of an entire country in an agricultural-based country like Lordaeron.
Huang Shang looked at the long queue, walked directly to the core passage, and dropped a bag of gold coins in front of the counter: "Hire a Silver Moon City engineer to install black iron alloy steel armor and level 3 peripheral weapons for the magic structure.
"
"Please come to Workshop No. 7."
The service lady accepted the gold coins with a smile, and quickly arranged for a silver-haired elf to take them into the inner room.
There are big guys moving here and there, and there are quite a few magic constructs mass-produced in Silvermoon City.
In the past, human nobles had serious doubts about this kind of uncontrolled magical machinery, and did not dare to use it, and were very resistant. However, since the outbreak of the Orc War, attitudes in various places have changed, and shipments have increased.
Got it
Be prepared!
Huang Shang was not the only one who came to reinforce the structure, so the silver-haired mage deployed armored weapons in a very fast and familiar manner.
Under Jaina's shocked gaze, the elf engineer, through a series of dazzling operations, fixed the battering ram and chainsaw on the left and right arms of the construct, and demonstrated the ejection chain, which can be ejected when used, attacking fifty
Enemies within meters.
The armor was also quickly arranged. It can be clearly seen that there is key protection in the core area, especially the chest, which is most vulnerable to blows. The thickness is twice as thick as the rest. The structure bulges outwards, presenting a graceful arc.
Sprayed with flame paint, the look instantly went up a notch.
The weight of this set of armor is almost three-quarters of the total weight of the magic construct, which makes the movement speed very slow, but it also gives it strong defensive capabilities, allowing it to charge into battle and be invincible.
Huang Shang patted Vulcan No. 1 and felt the adjustment of the world's will.
In the original plot, there is a huge gap in the technological level of World of Warcraft. There are warships in the sky, spears and stone axes underground, and there are catapults on the warships.
Although I know it is to show the ruggedness and wildness of the tribe, the weird feeling is as if the technological levels of ancient times and the future have been forcibly blended together to become one.
Now that the world has merged, World of Warcraft has also been invaded and attacked. These shortcomings have finally been adjusted, and magical means have begun to change the world.
"It's completed, delivered on the spot, please test the machine."
The elf engineer was fast and professional, and the installation was completed in less than an hour, allowing Huang Shang to test the construction to avoid any disputes afterwards.
Huang Shang nodded. Just as he was about to test the power of Vulcan No. 1, his expression suddenly changed: "No need!"
He buttoned the magic bag, put away the constructs, turned around and left the workshop directly. Jaina was chasing after her with a group of kittens in her arms: "Wait for me~Wait for me~"
In the blink of an eye, there was no one left.
Huang Shang hugged a kitten and returned to the Mage Tower. Before entering, he felt an endless cold breath spreading outward.
Sadness, rage, regret, despair...
Extremely strong emotions fluctuate wildly in all directions through mental power!
At the same time, he saw an old man with a white beard standing in the air, frowning and looking at the Mage Tower.
Although in Dalaran, many mages in their twenties also have white hair and white beards, but judging from the mental fluctuations of this vast sea, there is no one else but Antonidas.
But at this moment, Antonidas couldn't enter the mage tower.
Because Kel'Thuzad's ice magic is turning into endless icicles and ice spikes, arming the magic tower into a terrifying hedgehog. Although Antonidas is his mentor, he cannot forcefully enter without calling the entire Dalaran.
Forced demolition.
In desperation, he could only comfort the worried apprentice with his voice: "Kel'Thuzad, don't let your emotions control your mind, and don't forget your pursuit of arcana!"
Useless.
The mage's arcane spells do not help emotions, but they can make the target lose their emotions.
"Teacher, let me in!"
On the other hand, the soothing power of the Holy Light had an immediate effect.
Huang Shang opened his mouth and walked towards the mage tower.
The sharp ice spike hesitated for a moment, then actually opened a gap and let it in.
Antonidas breathed a sigh of relief, which meant that Kel'Thuzad had not lost his mind, but was just temporarily losing his temper.
He nodded to Huang Shang: "Take good care of your mentor, Master Alsace."
This sentence has risen to a critical level.
It's not that he is using power for personal gain, but that Antonidas has a keen eye and has seen that Huang Shang's mental strength is stable and has reached the level of a formal mage, so he encourages and hopes for it.
Huang Shang bowed to the respected archmage, came to the hall, and saw Kel'Thuzad and Mr. Bigworth.
Kel'Thuzad knelt on the ground, his head hanging, shoulders heaving.
As for the energetic cat, its neck was brutally twisted, and its blue eyes were open blankly, lifeless.
This was undoubtedly stimulating, and deliberately putting on such an appearance would make Kel'Thuzad miserable.
"You're here!"
Hearing Huang Shang's footsteps, Kel'Thuzad suddenly raised his head. There were no tears in his eyes, but the look in his eyes was a hundred times more terrifying than crying: "I want to find the murderer and wipe out the entire clan!"
In the West, the annihilation of the whole tribe by the barbarians is similar to the annihilation of the nine tribes. They are all connected by blood and kill all the relevant people.
And Kel'Thuzad was definitely not lying. If he found out which empire was behind this, he would even destroy the country.
Of course, there is no such thing as a family among the reincarnators, but they all come from the main temple, so they can be regarded as the same family, at least they are related in breath...
Everything, for Mr. Bigglesworth!
Huang Shang came forward with the cat in his arms and let the kitten come to its father. The little guy didn't know anything but licked his father's fur with his tongue.
"The soul is still there!"
He checked the situation. The brilliance of the holy light rose up in his left hand, and the mystery of arcane magic filled the air in his right hand. He said to Kel'Thuzad: "Now is not the time to grieve. Is it true that the spiritualism you have studied for so long is all fake?"
of?"
Kel'Thuzad was a little confused and said: "You mean?"
Huang Shang nodded: "Use psychic skills to save Mr. Bigworth!"
