Chapter 188 Above the Clouds
Those fifth-order behemoths that are nearly a hundred meters tall are the real siege weapons.
One bone is as thick as a water jar. It doesn't matter whether it breaks or not. Even if it breaks, they won't die. They are not afraid of pain, life or death, and will fight to the death. This is the most troublesome thing.
Moreover, these high-level zombies, like high-level extraordinary beings, have a thick layer of demonic armor wrapped around their bodies.
Dealing with zombies is even more difficult than dealing with them when they are alive.
They have no blood and can only be completely killed by breaking the hardest skull and taking out the "magic crystal".
Before this, it would take the cooperation of at least seven or eight high-level transcendents of level four or five to kill such a tricky existence, and the risk of casualties on one's own side was considerable.
Because the attacks of these high-level "Earth Dragon Zombies" are also extremely deadly to high-level transcendents.
More than just biting and ramming…
Those earth dragons were originally magical beasts when they were alive, and they could also spit out spells such as fire, frost, and wind blades. Although they can no longer spit out elemental spells after death, they can still spit out some highly corrosive black flames like concentrated acid...
Double spell damage of burning and corrosion.
Often, if they were hit, it would be like taking a bath in magma. Low-level extraordinary beings would be burned to ashes in an instant. Even for high-level ones, their fighting spirit armor would be rapidly corroded and burned through, posing a great threat...
But now, the six-armed steel giant rushed into the tide of zombies without any hesitation, like a sharp knife, stabbing in cleanly and neatly.
…
“What a fast speed!”
Ryan looked at the speed of the six-armed armor's advance and was amazed in his heart.
He knew very well that when he was at the Plague Base before, the Deer God Armor was definitely not so fast. Obviously, it was the "steam ball" that Tust tested on the armor that provided extraordinary power to the mechanical armor.
Not only is the speed increased, but the strength is also greatly improved.
Although the ten-meter-tall six-armed deer antler armor was tall , it only reached the knees in front of the nearly one hundred-meter-tall "earthquake dragon".
Generally speaking, this difference in tonnage means an absolute difference in strength, and the huge inertia is enough to destroy mountains and split rocks.
But what no one expected was that the six- armed giant rushed towards the tide of zombies without dodging or evading, and directly broke the leg bone of the earthquake dragon with one blow, and the huge body smashed to the ground with a loud bang.
Then, just when the shock in everyone's eyes had not yet fully subsided, they saw the six-armed armored warrior jump over and use his shield to hold down the earth dragon skull, which was as big as himself, making it unable to move.
The four black knives on the arms showed the shocking scene of piercing into the skin of the "Golden Bull".
Originally, the white bone dragon head was wrapped in a thick layer of demonic armor, which was a super protection that even a fifth-level strongman would find difficult to break.
But now, the four black knives that vibrated out phantoms , although not stabbing in quickly, penetrated in easily.
Then, the black energy on the huge earthquake dragon zombie instantly dissipated and it became completely motionless.
With just one encounter, the six-armed mecha killed a fifth-order earth dragon zombie that even a giant cannon could not defeat.
This...even if the "Top Ten Legends" were here, they couldn't do it!
…
"How is that possible!"
Seeing this scene, all the high-level extraordinary people on the city wall were shocked.
Even Ymir had an expression of disbelief on her pretty face.
As we all know, although mechanical armor is strong, it also has fatal shortcomings.
That is, the steel machines have no fighting spirit at all. Relying on brute force alone, I am afraid that even thousands of punches will not be able to break the elemental armor.
But the black knife stabbed into the six-armed armor as soon as it came into contact, and the fact was before their eyes.
Even Ryan, who had seen it once, was shocked, let alone others?
“Cough cough cough…”
He cleared his throat and explained, "The armor has a special ancient enchantment, so spells below the fifth ring have little effect on the armor. The black flames spewed by the living corpses of earth dragons are very powerful, but they have little effect on the Deer God Armor..."
After a pause , he continued, "As for the four black swords, they are... Arc Shock Alloy Sabers. They can indeed penetrate the magic armor. This is a very complicated theory..."
Ryan himself couldn't remember the difficult theory that Carl had once explained to him, but the intelligent computer solved this problem.
What high temperature, what enchanted free particles, what "variable frequency vibration cutting device"...
He explained it using a lot of professional terms, which immediately left the group of Omar city dwellers around him speechless.
Ryan didn't understand how profound the theory was, but the mechanics knew it!
As early as when the old man's mecha flew out of the city just now, Grandmaster Pierre and his group of disciples had already arrived at the city wall and stood beside Ymir.
At this time, one of the young mechanics listened to Ryan's explanation and asked in confusion: "The law of string vibration? Why is it that I remember that there is no record of this theory in the textbook compiled by the General Union of Mechanics... Or is it because it involves too advanced a field and I haven't read it?"
At this time, Grandmaster Pierre said with a complicated expression: "It's not that you haven't seen it. It's that the theory is not recorded at all."
The young mechanic was again suspicious: "Ah? Is it just a hypothetical theory that has never been proven?"
"No, it's not hypothetical. The 'string vibration phenomenon' is actually happening around us all the time. But... our observation and research on it are still at a very superficial level."
Pierre shook his head and said, "A few years ago, a master of the Royal Academy proposed a similar theory that 'elemental armor will be unstable at certain frequencies'. But today is the first time I have heard of such a clear and accurate summary of the principle of this phenomenon. This statement even made me feel like I had suddenly realized something..."
The disciples frowned and thought deeply, and obviously understood.
What shocked them was that they actually heard of the "new mechanical theory" that was not even recorded by the Mechanics Guild outside the Royal Academy of Sciences of Omagh?
Although there seemed to be a little conflict before, Master Pierre did not hide his humility in front of the knowledge, and he showed respect spontaneously: "Just summarizing this 'string vibration theory' is enough to make any mechanic go down in history and become famous all over the world. Mr. Tust, I am far inferior to him."
As he spoke, his eyes fell on the six-armed mecha, and his face suddenly turned pale.
Not only on the theoretical level, the old Mr. Tust has also created a real "String Vibrating Black Knife".
But in this respect, the depth of his research has already exceeded that of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Omar by decades.
Some of the things that I was proud of in my heart suddenly paled in comparison to this mecha.
Pierre even dared to assert that any mechanic in the Royal Academy of Sciences, even the three grand masters... would be helpless in front of this six-armed mecha.
Ymir, who was standing by, listened with a serious expression.
Although she didn't quite understand the mechanical theory, she understood that Mr. Tust was a very powerful master of mechanics.
…
And at this time,
There was another cry of surprise from Pierre's disciples.
"Hey... Look, that black sphere behind the six-armed mecha, could it be the 'steam ball' removed from the wreckage of the airship?"
"Looks like it from the shape."
"That shouldn't be possible, right? Didn't the teacher say that the mechanical technology contained in the steam ball is far beyond the current state of the art? How could he...control such a huge steam pressure?"
"Which technology on that armor should be available in this era? Cannon? Eight-cylinder power boiler? Arc shock black knife?"
“…”
Everyone was silent.
This group of young mechanics who came from the Royal Capital of Oma, whose vision stood at the pinnacle of today's mechanical field, felt a deep sense of frustration.
The knowledge of the Royal Academy of Sciences is like a mountain, and they have to spend their entire lives climbing it.
But when we got to the mountainside and could look up at the top of the mountain, we discovered that above the clouds on the top of the mountain, there was a Tust "floating" with his feet off the ground!
Yes, it’s that feeling of being suddenly lifted up and looking up above the clouds.
The six-armed mecha before their eyes was not something that the Royal Academy of Sciences could create. No, it shouldn't even be a product of this era!
"Could it be that... the mecha is actually also something in this wreckage?"
Everyone has this thought in their mind.
I also think that this is the only reasonable guess. Otherwise...how can their pride allow them to admit that there is a self-taught mechanic standing at the top of their Omar Royal Academy of Sciences that they need to look up to?
Pierre shook his head and said, "No... that six-armed mecha was made by Mr. Tust. He is indeed an incredible... mechanical master."
When he saw the eight-armed mechanical arm transplanted on his body, he had already realized it, but he just didn't want to admit it. But the reality before him told him that the purely physically driven mecha could only be operated by the eight-armed mechanical arm.
Obviously, this is a dedicated mecha.
At this moment, Pierre finally understood why Ryan and Tust had come to compete for the design rights of the mechanical city.
It turns out... it wasn't a "struggle for power", but an idea that only fellow mechanics could understand... the idea of not wanting the orb to be covered in dust.
Yes, only a mechanic of this level can restore the wreckage of the airship to the greatest extent and add the strongest design to this new city...
I am not as good as you.
…
In the field of mechanics, the most accomplished ones always come first.
When the apprentices heard that their teacher acknowledged the strange old man's strength, their previous anger suddenly disappeared, and they felt ashamed of their own behavior instead.
It turns out that we had misunderstood this amazing top mechanic before?
Those young mechanics didn't have so many reservations when speaking. They said whatever they thought of immediately.
"Could it be that what Mr. Tust said was true... Thirty years ago, Dean Morley really..."
The conversation stopped here, and the mechanic realized something.
The word plagiarism was not uttered.
After all, this involves the reputation of a leading figure in the field of mechanics today, that is, Brendan de Molay, the president of the Royal Academy of Sciences of Omagh!
But in this kind of situation, there are only two options: "right" and "wrong".
If one person is right, then the other is wrong!
In the profession of a mechanic, who is right is not determined by words but by skills.
Thirty years ago, two young genius mechanics were equally talented, and neither could tell who plagiarized whom.
After all, at that level, many mechanical patent designs are about inspiration rather than technical difficulty.
But once someone's level has risen to a level where the difference can be seen at a glance, there is no doubt about it.
Grandmaster of mechanics?
No, not really.
The mechanical technology level of this old man named Tust is at least twenty years ahead of this era!
Who is right and who is wrong...
This group of mechanics from Omar no longer dared to think about it further.
