Chapter 713: Power armor

This Titan engine is the latest research result of Rennes.
It looks like a cuboid backpack with passivated edges. It has been put on a shell to protect the internal Titan rune array and mechanical structure. It is running at the moment, making a slight roar.
A crystalline pipeline connects the engine with the huge machine tool next to it, and huge energy is sent out to drive the machine tool to run.
This machine tool, which originally required a large rune steam engine to drive, is running at high speed and balance.
Ren just watched and let the Titan engine work.
A high-purity source crystal rod is inserted into the engine, and under the control of the brain-dividing chip, the Titan rune array stimulates a violent reaction, continuously releasing energy. This violent energy is different from common magical energy. It is very similar to the electricity in the previous life. After being tamed, it has a wide range of applicability, only one energy level lower than nuclear energy.
The brain-separating chip has been perfectly integrated with the Titan Rune Array. The chip is equipped with a high-temperature, corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant hard shell, which can absorb energy to maintain its own existence without being burned by energy.
This time, Renn no longer needs to press his hands on the engine to control the operation as he did in the past.
Everything is done by the brain-dividing chip.
He can control all the operating details of the engine through the brain-dividing chip with a single thought, increase power, reduce output, shutdown, standby, etc., completely foolish operation, reaching an unprecedented level of "artificial intelligence".
The machine tool seems to have its own thinking, sometimes running at a high speed, sometimes reducing the frequency, and following the power changes of the Titan engine for various tests.
The test did not end until the source crystal rod was consumed after more than four hours.
Rehn opened the hot engine shell to blow away the steam-like waste heat, and carefully inspected the internal structure and rune array of the engine, and found that after four hours of operation, there was hardly any damage, and he was immediately delighted.
"Finally succeeded!"
He shook his fist. Since it can run at high frequency for four hours, then forty hours, four hundred hours or even four months, there is no problem!
In the future, only Lei Zhu Tianbing needs to be checked and maintained regularly. How long the Titan engine can run depends on the number of source crystal rods.
He reassembled the engine, inserted a heavier source crystal rod, and continued testing.
A Thunder Casting Heavenly Soldier flashed over and took over the task of inspecting the work of the engine. Ren himself entered the next room and sat down, his face lost in thought.
Successfully manufacturing the Titan engine is only the first step.
It solves the problem of power and energy. Next, how to apply this powerful engine, there is still a lot of work to be done.
The first choice is naturally to build power armor!
The armor currently worn by the extreme fighters is only heavy, because the performance of the Titan Blue Iron has strong defensive power, and even the enchantment is very mediocre, not much different from the iron can.
Only the armor with the Titan engine is the real power armor.
But the engine is not enough. The difficulty of building armor that can perform a variety of powerful functions is not much lower than that of manufacturing an engine. Fortunately, Wren does not need to study from the beginning, Ellenus already has something similar to power armor, that is, the mechanic's mechanical armor.
The storm giant also has similar technology, it is the Thundercast Colossus.
In addition, the alchemists of the empire also developed golems and arcane puppets, all of which can provide Rennes with reference and reference.
The most important thing about this humanoid structure is the power source.
The primary mechanical armor is powered by a rune steam engine, which is cumbersome, slow in response, and insufficient in output power.
After the mechanics are promoted to Legend, they will create a "soul power engine" that uses their own soul power as fuel to drive armored battles.
This kind of soul power engine consumes a lot and is difficult to last.
The power of the golem comes from the energy storage crystals in the body, some can be recharged, and some are disposable items. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the golem is uneven, and the upper and lower limits are very different, depending on the manufacturer's level of craftsmanship and manufacturing materials. .
Arcane puppets have very stable combat effectiveness, many functions, and the highest level of intelligence.
Their energy comes from Eola's core, which is almost inexhaustible. They are enchanted with various powerful spells, but they can only be used in the floating city. Once they leave the Eola's core, they become scrap iron.
Leizhu Colossus is another system.
The intelligence of the colossus is very low and it is completely dependent on the owner's remote control, but without considering the energy issue, it has the strongest combat effectiveness. The disadvantage is that it is huge and the manufacturing cost is too high for mass production.
Rehn thought for a long time, and thoughts gradually formed in his mind.
The power armor of the Ultimate Warrior should be based on the Thundercast Colossus. It should be reduced to wearable and reduce material input to reduce costs. However, the inside of the Thundercast Colossus is solid, so it needs to be modified to combine with the human body control system of the mechanical armor. Apply the enchanting effect of Arcane Puppets.
In the end, the power armor has the advantages of the three, unlimited energy, strong defense, and fierce attack!
This is a complex and sophisticated project.
Energy transmission, alloy armor, shock absorption, enchantment, resistance to spells, etc., in addition to loading various functions, such as power augmentation, fire control system, scanning, flight control, navigation, all must be achieved through rune technology.
Power armor is not just a set of armor, but a firepower platform.
It is not enough to only have a blaster gun, and there must be new weapons that match the armor to fully exert the power of the Titan engine.
When researching the Titan engine before, Renn already had some preliminary ideas for weapons.
Moreover, the application of the Titan engine is not limited to power armor.
It is not necessary to make armor worn by human beings. It can completely abandon the driver and control it remotely like the Thundercast Colossus. The brain-dividing chip can do all the instructions.
Since it is not worn by humans, it does not have to be limited to human form.
Various forms of colossus are available, tanks, fighter jets, self-propelled artillery, phalanx, and modern military weapons and equipment from previous lives can be developed and tested.
Renn's heart was fierce, and he did what he said.
He is not alone now. He immediately issued an order to draw out twenty Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers far away in the Obsidian Tower, enter the alchemy room on the fourth floor of the tower, and start weapon research and development.
The computing power of a Thundercast Heavenly Soldier is definitely not as good as that of Renn's body.
But with the addition of 20 Thunder Casting Heavenly Soldiers, the brain power far exceeds Rennes. Each person is responsible for part of the research. Renn is in the middle of the overall planning, and the work efficiency is immediately increased by more than ten times!
After only half a month, the first finished product was released.
Ren teleported from Fort Vajra to Shield Island. In the basement where the teleportation array was located, a strong rock fortress was built on the ground, located on the top of the high ground. The fortress is still very rough, only used as a temporary command center for Gotham City, stationed with a team of Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers, two teams of Extreme Warriors, and a company of Spear Wing Knights.
"boss!"
The extreme soldier saluted loudly.
Ren came from the passage in the basement and walked into the discussion hall of the fortress. He saw Brestein, the chief mason in charge of building the city, standing next to a large table with a plan of Gotham City spread out on the table.
Hearing the voice of the extreme warrior, Brestein, who was immersed in his thoughts, raised his head and quickly said: "Your Excellency the earl."
The dwarf seems to have not rested for a long time, his strong body is slightly tired, but his eyes are still bright.
He immediately reported: "My lord, the city wall has been built for five miles, and the foundation has been laid for the remaining fifteen miles. The progress will be faster and faster, and it should be completed within three months. This morning, Another group of five hundred three-hammer legion dwarf warriors arrived at Shield Island. Lord Kerstakin is arranging military camps for them and assigning tasks."
"The wizard of Wezeland sent me a magic message. The fleet carrying more than two thousand residents will arrive at Shield Island the day after tomorrow."
"I have transferred a group of short craftsmen and built temporary shelters for them."
Brestein took a few minutes to report the progress of Gotham in detail.
Ren listened carefully and nodded from time to time.
In fact, he knew all these things well. Through Thundercasting Heavenly Soldiers and Extreme Soldiers, Gotham City's every move could not escape his control.
He originally wanted to send a stand-in, change his appearance, and pretend to be his confidant to manage the overall situation of Gotham City, but Brestein volunteered and was willing to take on the job, so he let him manage the city construction project.
After the report, Brestein's expression became serious.
"What's the matter?" Renn asked.
"Your Excellency, there is something wrong with the situation." Brestein replied in a deep voice: "There was a battle at noon. Hundreds of undead crossed the East Strait and tried to board the Shield Island. They were quickly wiped out by the dwarf warriors. . But according to my observation, this is only a temptation for the undead. Abraham on the other side of the strait may have assembled an army of undead, and their target must be the city wall."
Ren nodded: "I know."
The Scourge will never watch the city wall build up. This is also inconceivable, and large-scale battles may break out at any time.
He has notified the teacher and Master Oroin, and also went to the Temple of Storms, contacted Elder Solim and the ancient red dragon "Inferno" on Dufeng. Once he found the figure of the death lord, or the death knot seal Saint Soul Lich, several Saint-Rank powerhouses immediately rushed to Gotham to fight.
The extreme fighters and the Spearwing Knights have also been preparing for battle.
As for Abraken on the opposite side of Shield Island, Rennes had already sent a few Thundercast Heavenly Soldiers to investigate.
Leizhu Heavenly Soldier is a mage. He has mastered the idea of ​​the lake of stars, and quickly constructed a series of spell models, including invisibility, exploration, secret eyes and magic alarms, etc., both have a strong combat power, but also good at hiding. , Detect the enemy's situation.
Abraken did gather an army of undead, but it was not as serious as Brestein imagined. Although it is increasing every day, the number is only about 30,000.
It is almost impossible for thirty thousand undead to attack Shield Island.
The five thousand dwarves of the Three Hammers have basically been in place, half of the Wezeland wizards have also been stationed in Gotham, there are also extreme fighters, thundercast heavenly soldiers and spear wing knights, and a total of four extraordinary legions, even if the walls are not built, they Can easily destroy these tens of thousands of undead.
Most of Gotham City nowadays is a wasteland, waiting to be flourished. There is no other important goal besides the fortress on the high ground.
This eases the difficulty of defense, but it is actually loose on the outside and tight on the inside.
If the Scourge thinks it will be easy to break Gotham, and the undead army will come out, then it will be a head-on attack waiting for them.
Seeing that Rehn didn't care about the enemy's expression very much, Brestein seriously reminded: "My lord, we'd better be vigilant and not careless."
"Don't worry." Renn laughed and said: "I have been waiting for the undead army to attack Gotham, I'm afraid they won't come."
Brestein froze for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief.
Renn patted the dwarf on the shoulder, "Come with me, today I will add a defense to Gotham."
He walked out of the fortress hall, looked west, and saw the already-built section of the city wall in the distance. Of course, the 30-meter-high city wall cannot be compared with the giant wall of Albert Bay. No matter its height, scale, or construction period, it is far inferior to the giant wall of Albert Bay.
However, the defensive power of Gotham City Walls must be far better than Albert Bay in the future.
Rehn looked around and saw that scattered houses had been built in the city, and the population was increasing day by day.
At present, the most dwarf is still with more than 10,000 people, followed by humans.
He recruited residents from the territory of Glamorgan and the Principality of Augustus and promised preferential conditions to allow people to settle on Shield Island. Those who are willing to come will each give ten golden shields as a settlement allowance. In the future, houses and land will be allocated, and taxes will not be paid within ten years.
With such favorable conditions, not many people are willing to come to Shield Island.
The impression of the New World is that it is dangerous, and for ordinary people, it is no different from the restricted area of ​​life.
For nearly two months, only more than 20,000 residents have been recruited from the two places. They set off in batches from the Old Continent, escorted by the Wezeland wizards, and detoured along the west coast to the southern part of the New Continent, passing through the Fenglei Islands, from the New Continent and the Southern Continent. A narrow canal crossed in between, then turned back north, sailed along the east coast, and finally reached Shield Island.
The first fleet arrived a few days ago and brought more than 3,000 residents. They have settled down and put in work to reclaim the purified land outside Gotham City.
There are five more fleets to follow, which will be available in a few months.
Ren opened a portal and walked in.
Brestein quickly followed, UU reading www. uukanshu.com found himself on the city wall and looked west. Abraken was across the strait of more than two hundred meters wide.
The short craftsmen not far away saw the two people on the wall, took a few glances and continued to work.
With a snap.
A bolt of lightning flew up from a distance and fell in front of him, revealing Kstakin's figure.
The King of the Hill was patrolling with the dwarf warriors, thinking something had happened, and asked, "Ren, is there something wrong?"
Kerstakin had already made allegiance to Rennes, but Renne showed respect and asked him to call his own name instead of using honorifics.
The King of the Hill also happily accepted.
"It's okay." Rehn shook his head and explained: "I'll come and install a weapon on the city wall." While talking, he took out his own research and development results from the Nebula Ring, with a thud, and one piece weighed tens of thousands of pounds. The metal creations pressed against the wall, making both dwarves stunned.
Brestein had never seen this thing before, and asked in surprise: "What kind of weapon is this?"
