From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 298 Various changes in the north and south and construction on the track

More than a month ago, the fifth-level witch doctors returned from low-Earth orbit.

First, six witch doctors were separated, and three new high-level monsters were captured in a short period of time to make up for the incremental reduction caused by the missing three in the plan.

When the hunt was completed, the witch doctors entered the 22-in-1 state again and began to reconstruct the mimic body.

The intelligence center of the headquarters was brutally 'killed' at this moment, and the space where it was originally located has now entered a huge ball of cells.

Immediately, a massive amount of substances and nutrients were injected into it through the pipeline, and the large meat ball also began to 'proliferate' visible to the naked eye.

As mentioned before, the 22-in-1 fifth-level witch doctors have been able to increase the accuracy of shaping the mimic body to the 1 nanometer level;

What they are doing at this time is to use this precision and the way to construct an intelligent brain to shape 'self' into an intelligent center with powerful computing power.

So, with the support of such thoughts, a very large cube with a side length of 300 meters appeared in the underground space where the ‘Central No. 1’ was originally located.

After being given the algorithm, the new intelligence brain lived up to expectations and showed extremely exaggerated abilities during the trial run. And of course, and not unexpectedly, it had a skyrocketing demand for nutrient consumption.

But this thing does not need to be turned on at full power all the time. Most of its structures can remain dormant when not needed, and only operate the part of the computing power required, thus avoiding excessive and huge nutrient consumption.

.

After the construction of the structure, the assignment of the totem algorithm, and the trial operation, after the completion of this trilogy, the witch doctors gradually explored the "spaceship and supplies" based on it and combined with the continuous attempts to launch.

In this process, the structure of the 'rocket-type' mimic slowly transformed into an 'aircraft' mode, and the working efficiency of the 'turbocharger-ramjet-liquid fuel propulsion' three-stage engine was gradually optimized;

At the same time, the ratio between the supply load and its own consumption has been further optimized, so that the material transportation capability, which was already cheating under the 'anti-gravity effect', has been strengthened again.

But that was not enough. The witch doctors later transformed the control requirements in the entire process of escaping from the surface into a 'fool mode' that can be completed relatively easily with the assistance of intelligent brains, thereby completely expanding the number of qualified drivers and making

Soldiers also have the possibility of operation.

'Unknown monsters, whose population is less than 100, are flying creatures with the ability to move across a wide area;'

With these mother machines and the corresponding intelligent brain control methods, the headquarters has the ability to manufacture small intelligent brains, spacecraft engines, etc., which require the integration of a huge amount of high-precision equipment in a very small space.

‘Perhaps Ashley should send soldiers to take a look’

The steps are basically the same as when manufacturing a smart brain before, from functional design, to control algorithm design, to the idea of ​​integration with the central smart brain;

Therefore, for safety reasons, the more dangerous and complex ‘surface-low-orbit supply aircraft’ will be piloted by level 4 witch doctors;

On the other hand, looking at other higher creatures, such as higher-level monsters, their populations are indeed extremely powerful, but they are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers;

For example, the Rapid Bird Clan only has a total size of more than ten thousand, and the rest are only tens of thousands, while the few are thousands, and it is not uncommon to see hundreds;

Either because of lack of wisdom, insufficient numbers, or lack of opportunities. In short, the subordinates of these high-level monsters failed to form a civilization or a 'belief', so that their 'kings' could not receive feedback, and

It became what the near gods call a 'brutal beast'.

Subsequently, the witch doctors, in the combined state, generated 20 'surface-near-earth supply aircraft' at one time, and transferred 15 of them to the Central School, and five of them were handed over to the fourth-level witch doctors for 'test drive'

.

However, it does not seem that the larger the population, the better. Otherwise, the near gods behind the lower races on the continent, which can number in the tens of millions or even over 100 million, should be more powerful, instead of being one by one or like today.

Seriously injured, or unable to leave.

Of course, once an unexpected situation occurs during the mission, the warrior group, and even the low-level witch doctors, actually do not have the ability to control it in time;

~~~~~~

By now, the work on the ground should have been completed, and it was almost time for the witch doctors to return to orbit;

However, their previous experience in manufacturing intelligent brains and near-earth vehicles in the combined state reminded them that it was time to upgrade the finishing capabilities of this department;

As a result, the witch doctors once again entered the 22-in-1 state. This time, what they wanted to build was not a brain, a spaceship, or a fancy fighting machine, but a 'totem industrial mother machine' with extremely high precision.

In addition, the spacecraft is assisted by an upgraded algorithmic brain for auxiliary control. There will be third-level and fourth-level witch doctors resident in the spacecraft. In the future, there are also plans to permanently station low-level witch doctors and warriors, as well as 'non-internal observation' type space experiments.

room;

But now, there are only five third-level witch doctors and three fourth-level witch doctors who accompanied the launch. They will become the pilots and maintenance units of the spacecraft, and undertake the test drive mission of the 'near-to-far supply spacecraft'

, of course, after the fifth-level witch doctors made sufficient preliminary attempts.

After the '750 spacecraft', the witch doctors agreed on the layout location and supply interval of the 'deep space laboratory' based on calculations of the actual situation, and calculated a relatively appropriate structural plan;

During the discussion, its orbital altitude was determined to be 'five thousand kilometers', which is not 'deep' enough, but after all, it is just the beginning, and everything develops slowly, right?

In terms of shape, unlike the '750 Spaceship' which has a long cylinder with a round head, the '5000 Spaceship' is roughly spherical in design.

Looking at the dense content in the plan, the witch doctors started the initial 'voyage exploration' while imagining the day in the future when they, or even the entire species, would be able to escape from the constraints of their home planet at will.

Due to many considerations such as safety, two or three small-scale scheduled orbit round-trip operations were carried out in advance, and large-scale material removal was not started until it was confirmed that there was no problem.

The most intuitive manifestation of this judgment is the scale of the ‘flames’ reflected from the altars scattered throughout the continent.

In a three-power city with only tens of thousands of core races living, the scale of the altar's feedback inside is far greater than that of a lower-race city with millions of people.

And at the same time, many altars in the two kingdoms serve as intermediaries for the downward transmission of their own power, and they also receive blessings in this regard;

In addition, the 'low orbit to far orbit (actually still low earth orbit) relay supply spacecraft' will be developed on the 750 orbit after the altitude of the 'far orbit' is determined, in order to obtain more detailed advance data;

As a result, the 11 spacecraft that had been parked beside the '750' departed for the first time.

They arrived at the predetermined location within a short period of time and began the spacecraft fusion directly in orbit;

As time passed, what finally appeared in front of us was a spherical 'artificial celestial body' with a diameter of more than 300 meters.

These will be two pure research spaceships. In the short term, only fifth-level witch doctors will be permanently stationed, and two 50,000-ton high-level magical beasts (tens of meters long) will be imprisoned respectively. As our technical strength continues to increase, eventually

There will be laboratories and production rooms filled with them.

The 'weakened version of mimicry' they possess will maintain the ability to quickly repair in emergency situations. If the crisis reaches the extreme, they can also 'seize' part of the fuselage and forcibly separate from the main body to complete self-protection;

And when the brain has collected enough data and accumulated enough crisis response 'fool kits', the driving of this type of aircraft can be handed over to low-level witch doctors and even soldiers for execution.

Based on the internal observation and the previous analysis of the racial qualifications of the three powers, the Republic has also made preliminary inferences about the differences;

‘Are there other civilized species? It was just blocked by the wall of the continent before, so no news was spread.’

~~~~~~~~~

Although the use of electromagnetic wave communication methods is extremely cautious, the Republic still received these several related messages in a relatively short period of time through the voice wires that have spread all over the continent;

In this way, the work of the fifth-level witch doctors on the ground came to an end for the time being, and they moved their sights to orbits farther than the sky.

~~~~~~~

In the three subsequent lift-offs, the witch doctors successfully sent the construction materials, high-level monsters, and mid-term energy supplies that were scheduled to be taken away into the sky, and allowed another spacecraft to be near the original spacecraft at an orbit of 750 kilometers.

There are two more 'cage spaceships' transporting high-level monsters, and 9 'temporary spaceships' containing supplies;

Afterwards, the '750 spaceship' underwent a major transformation according to the plan. The new spacecraft's real weight was only'50,000 tons, plus a 30,000-ton advanced magic beast, and it could obtain its own fuel and oxidizer from the spilled atmosphere.

space, and the remaining material reserve capacity is more than 100,000 tons, which is enough to undertake the task of 'supply transfer' at this stage;

Regarding this, the headquarters had no ‘bad’ ideas until news came from the north that ‘mammoths were visiting the south’

~~~~~~~~~~

The Asylum is aware of the 'information sense' contained in the surrounding fluctuations, but due to the limitations of its inherent cognition, its judgment of the actual situation is slightly biased.

That is to say, the qualifications that form the population of civilization, and the strength of believers transformed from the qualifications, should play an extremely critical role in 'feeding back' to the gods.

'This way of communication is quite interesting. It seems like something I can do?'

After that, it is to 'eat' resources and energy to build the mimetic body's mother machine, and then give it a control algorithm;

But that’s a matter for the future. Now let’s do the current research in a down-to-earth manner.

But before officially starting the research at the rule level, the witch doctors temporarily focused their attention on related aspects with the idea of ​​"learning more about the near gods", and in a short period of time, they gained far more knowledge than before.

~~~~~~~

The relationship between the near gods and the civilizations under their command seems to be mutually reinforcing. The reason why the three powerful northern powers and the other second-level forces behind the gods have become near gods is that in addition to their respective innate strength, there should be some other aspects.

have something in common;

In this regard, the witch doctors have recently come to the conclusion that the civilized races under their command have achieved a balance in quantity and qualifications under a certain mechanism.

In terms of numbers, the Rhine species has a population of about 4 million, the Tusker species has a population of nearly 9 million, and the Mammoth species has a population of about 1.5 million. Based on this, they have established a civilization of intelligent creatures, thus in some areas

On the other hand, it forms a feedback to the near god behind him.

‘Does this mean that there may be vast land further south on the continent wall? Otherwise, it would not be able to support the survival of a Warcraft population’

In the earlier continent, the Mammoth King City and the Fang King City, known as the "Twin Pearls", were the laurels here. However, more than ten years ago, a new Rhine King City was added, thus forming a sense of "three pillars";

This situation lasted until not long ago, until something changed in the east

In the eastern part of the mainland, the second-class forces, which had not seen any follow-up movement for a long time, finally established the long-difficult ‘Eastern Alliance’;

Soon afterwards, a multi-ethnic city with a huge core population was built. In a very short time, it formed a feedback that could not be ignored. It was a bit loose, but it was large enough to compete with the other three cities.

Comparable 'flames' rose on the plains in the eastern part of the continent.

The establishment of the 'Eastern Alliance' is still the exclusive news of the Republic. It is classified as 'confidential' in the Northern Continent. The Eastern ministries seem to have strictly blocked the flow of information to the west out of fear of interference when the foothold is not stable.

;

As for the situation of 'gathering of flames', only the witch doctors on the track know about it.

'The old nest is in the extreme south, and there may still be their leader-level beast king and cubs there.'

Although this section runs in a near-vacuum environment throughout, it is actually much better than the former in terms of 'control difficulty' and 'fuel consumption';

Therefore, it is expected that the third-level witch doctor will take the initial control, and will be transferred to the second-level witch doctor (most of the first-level witch doctors are students) or warriors to take charge of driving in a shorter period of time.

As a result, the shamans have the ability to use the altar as a hub to send and receive messages remotely, as well as to conduct reconnaissance in a wider area.

The emergence of this ability directly posed a threat to the wolves that were still raging in the south of the country. The wide-area reconnaissance circles formed in many cities grasped their scope of activities in a very short period of time and prepared to send out the most elite wolves.

Altar guard, delivering strikes as precise as a scalpel.

Finally, the witch doctor cells detach and connect to the central intelligence brain for trial operation

This operation was carried out 9 times, so that the department obtained a total of 36 master machines of the same level. Although their processing accuracy is one level lower than that of the manufacturer (22 in 1), it should not be underestimated;

With such thoughts in mind, the protector immediately conveyed his will to the two chief priests and asked them to send their own or foreign warriors to explore the south.

As a powerful advanced creature, as one who has touched the rules, the accumulation and ability of the patron cannot be underestimated. After being 'inspired' by the observation results, it immediately analyzed its working principle and successfully explored it.

Specific application methods in terms of 'investigation' and 'messaging' are provided.

First, it was observed that the core altar of the Twin Kings City caused serious interference to our own electromagnetic waves for a certain period of time;

Second, just a few days later, our own information monitoring equipment high in the sky received regular signals of unknown meaning;

Third, the Mammoth Nation has recently mastered the ‘black box version’ of altar instant messaging and detection technology;

Fourth, a precise encirclement and suppression of wolves is about to begin;

Fifth, the two kings dispatched elite forces to prepare to explore the continental wall and the areas further south.

These five pieces of news had a considerable impact on the parliament. Although the witch doctors had previously imagined that the near god might be extremely keen on the relevant rules, they did not expect that the process from 'discovery' to 'mastery' could actually be achieved.

Do it so quickly;

In addition, through this incident, the witch doctors also made another thing clear

That is to say, the various strange spells performed by the altar and the shaman seem to be derived from the transfer of the power of the 'near god'.

Of course, relevant intelligence and preliminary discussion results were immediately sent to the fifth-level witch doctor group that was currently under construction in low-Earth orbit.
