Although these slave soldiers have extremely exaggerated life guard energy relative to their age, and they also master a considerable degree of combat skills, but... In terms of fighting spirit and magic, they are too much worse, and they are not even experts at all.
In fact, this is not just the problem of these slaves, but a very common problem. It is not easy to cultivate fighting spirit and magic. First, fighting spirit and magic are not easy to cultivate, which depends on qualification. Second... It is very rare to have the opportunity to learn fighting spirit and magic. Not everyone has this opportunity.
Soga knows very well that at present, there is no problem in using these slaves to deal with ordinary sailors, but to deal with all kinds of experts on the trade route is to send vegetables. It takes some time for others to kill them, but they can't threaten others' safety at all.
Soga tried to let thousands of slaves besiege Xiang Yun. Although Xiang Yun was difficult to kill any guy, these slaves could not trap Xiang Yun. Facing thousands of slaves, Xiang Yun said to come and go, and if Xiang Yun wanted to, he could kill any goal.
For experts like Xiang Yun, these slaves are basically the same type as turtles. Although they have thick shells and are difficult to knock, they are almost harmless. No matter how strong your defense ability is, they won't be of any use as long as you don't have the ability to attack.
Soga can imagine that if these top slaves are used to protect Soga City, it is definitely a joke. The only function of these guys may be to be a shield and delay the enemy's attack. In addition, they can't do anything.
Soga intended Xiang Yun and Roger to teach some fighting skills to everyone, but Xiang Yun denied Soga's plan on the spot. These guys' fighting skills are not bad. They play well with bows and arrows and big swords, and have formed their own system. The only difference is the energy needed for fighting. If the energy is not enhanced, Even if you hit the enemy, you can't form effective damage. On the great trade route, everyone has life to guard. It's difficult to break the defense with the attack power of these divine slaves.
Facing this huge problem, Soga couldn't help thinking hard, but after thinking for a long time, Soga couldn't find any solution at all. All these top slaves over the age of 20 have passed the period of rapid growth of fighting spirit and magic. Even if they start to practice hard now, they can't achieve much. Therefore... These divine slaves, It's good for nothing but fighting beating.
After thinking for a week, Soga has never come up with a way. At the same time, Soga city has resumed trading. Occasionally, caravans pass here and buy some metals to trade elsewhere. Occasionally, pirates try to land and fight, but... Under the coordinated battle of 200 mercenary regiments, no pirates can successfully step on the shore!
Soga knows that in a short time, because Soga city has just recovered and has not accumulated too much wealth, it is impossible to attract the attention of the big pirate regiment, not to mention the joint legion of pirates. However, Soga knows that one day, the pirate alliance will come again. After eating the sweetness, they have no reason not to come.
Soga has a habit, that is, don't think about things that can't be figured out for the time being. When the time comes, it will be clear. In the next few days, Soga ordered all slave soldiers to carry out combat skills training, especially pay more attention to the cultivation of fighting spirit. Although it is impossible to improve too much, it is always a good thing to fight more.
As for Duomei, Xiang Yun and others, their lives are not as good as those of Soga. They don't have a moment to rest. Xiang Yun and Roger lead 100 Camus class super giant sailboats to and from Soga and other cities to transport the materials needed by Soga. Duomei and her sisters will lead another 100 Camus class sailboats and hire skilled craftsmen everywhere, As well as slaves who mastered mining skills, they were transported back to Soga island for the reconstruction of Soga city and ore mining.
Originally, Soga intended to move the city inland, but... As a port city, it must be built on the beach. If it is too close to the inside, the costs will increase too much, which is totally unrealistic. Therefore... Unless the defense problem can be completely solved, otherwise, the 200 mercenary regiments will spend 400 million a month, I'm afraid they will continue to continue.
After thinking for many days without any results, Soga finally put down his mind and rushed to the mine alone. Although he has become the owner of Soga city and the owner of hundreds of mines around, Soga has never been to the mine once.
After leaving the city of Soga and driving for more than ten miles, Soga finally arrived at the pit. Looking at it, the so-called pit is actually an open-pit mine. Looking at it, it is a huge mountain range with continuous island and towering into the clouds. At all locations of the mountain range, huge deep pits have been deducted by the miners. This is the so-called pit.
So far, the mining of metal ore is still very primitive, that is, the miners wave pickaxes, knock on the mountain wall and knock down the pieces of stone, which is the so-called metal ore.
Because it is a metal mine, the rock is very hard and heavy. Therefore... It is really not easy to knock down a piece, and it is very difficult to carry it because it is very heavy. Therefore, although the output of metal is much higher than that of agate and gem, it is still in short supply.
In this world, the demand for metal is very high. Carriages, ships, weapons, armor, daily necessities and almost everything need metal. Therefore, it has been calculated that even if the ore here is mined clean, it can not meet the needs of the society.
Moreover, although these ores look black, in fact, these ores have different types of metals according to different ore beds. Moreover, even one ore contains several associated minerals, and these trace and associated minerals are the most rare and precious metals.
All mined ores will be transported to a huge smelting yard outside the mine pit. After smelting the ores, metal ingots of various metals will be produced, which is the specialty here - precious metals.
Looking at the backward mining mode, Suoga frowned. In Suoga's memory, there seems to be a transportation type magic coupling. If it can be successfully manufactured, at least those responsible for transportation can be saved. You know... The number of mining and transportation personnel is one to one!
While thinking, Soga didn't continue to look. He directly turned back to the city master's house, closed the door and took out the magic coupling - Barr. In fact, Barr was a typical transportation magic coupling when it was designed. Although it needs one person to operate, it can give play to the power of several people, even more than a dozen people!
While thinking, Soga opened the sand worm skin on Barr's body surface and began to study Barr's structure. You know... If you want to mass produce Barr, it is impossible to use Barr's current structure. If it is specially used for transportation, many institutions can be omitted. For mass production, you must reduce the cost.
For several days in a row, Soga closed in the room, dismantled all the companies inside Barr, and kept thinking about the new combination mode. Soga now pursues only one point, that is, the power of drag. As for other combat capabilities, they are ignored. Specialization is necessary for special use.
"Bang!" When he was dizzy, the gate of the city Lord's residence was kicked open with a dull sound. The next moment... Nicole, Roger and Xiang Yun came in one after another.
Looked at Soga in amazement. Niko scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "Oh! The young master is at home. Hey, hey... I thought there was no one in there. I'm sorry! " Niko looked at him angrily. Soga didn't answer her. He continued to lower his head and study the magic couple on the ground. Even if no one could kick the door like this!
Seeing Soga's preoccupation, Niko couldn't help but get close to him curiously and said excitedly, "Wow! Young master... You have to study the magic couple to help you defend the city! Hahaha... If you can copy the magic couple like dawn City, our dawn city will be as solid as gold! "
With a helpless sigh, Soga stood up straight, picked up a rag, wiped the dust on his hands and said, "I want to, but I can copy those magic couplings, but I can't understand the connection between the magic coupling and the mechanism."
While talking, Soga threw the rag aside and said with regret: "the manufacturing of magic coupling and mechanism are actually two completely independent disciplines. Mechanism should belong to the discipline of trap, while magic coupling is the discipline of alchemy. I can't play the role of magic coupling in dawn city without the secret script of mechanism science."
He nodded slightly. Nicole came to Barr's side, looked at the scattered parts and strings in Barr's body, frowned and said, "I didn't know before. Now I see it with my own eyes. It turns out that the magic lotus root is so complex!"
Nodded slightly, Soga replied, "yes, if you want a magic couple to move like a real person and make various actions, there must be a lot of strings and mechanisms. It's difficult to think it's not complicated!"
He nodded vaguely. Nicole curiously pulled the pull string in Barr's body. Suddenly... Barr's hands and feet immediately catered to move. Seeing this scene, Nicole couldn't help getting excited and trying. Looking at Nicole's happy appearance, Soga didn't stop it. Anyway, she couldn't play badly. She did it.
While thinking, Soga leaned back on the chair, slightly closed his eyes and thought carefully, but without thinking for a long time, Nico asked. He asked what this did and what that did. In a few minutes, Nico asked about the relevant settings in Barr's body.
For Niko, Soga has the same feelings as her brother. In Soga's eyes, Niko is just a lovely sister. For Niko, Soga's patience is surprisingly good. If it was someone else, Soga would have been impatient.
Finally, Nicole seemed to lose interest in Barr and stopped asking. He sat down on the chair next to Soga, picked up the tea on the tea table and drank it, no matter who used the cup.
After drinking all the tea in the cup, Nicole tilted his head and said, "young master, after listening to your explanation just now, the magic coupling is also very simple. I think I can make a magic coupling!"
"Well?" Hearing Nicole's words, Soga opened her eyes and said in amazement, "what are you talking about? You can do it, too? Are you kidding? I can make a magic couple. That's the result of my hard study for five or six years. You didn't learn at all. You just want to be a magic couple? "
"Cut..." glanced disdainfully, and Nicole said proudly: "of course, the magic couple is very simple. Isn't it to make a human model and tie it with thread? I can do that, too. "
She shook her head with a bitter smile and said helplessly, "if you really think so, it's a big mistake. What you do is not called magic coupling, but wooden coupling!"
"Oh?" Looked at Soga suspiciously, and Niko said, "is there a difference? Although the name is one word short, in fact, the structure is exactly the same! "
Facing Nicole's problem, Soga stood up, walked to Barr, pointed to the six pointed star array in the middle of Barr's chest and said, "you see, this is called the energy control module, which is the core of the magic coupling. Only with this module can it be called the magic coupling. This module is the core and soul of the magic coupling!"
Looking at Soga suspiciously, Niko said, "what can this module do? I don't seem to see him working! "
He glanced at Nicole angrily, and Soga said, "didn't you see him working? Then I ask you, how can the magic couple move by itself without this module? "
"This..." faced with Soga's problem, Niko was completely stunned. Yes... Although she can also create something with a structure similar to Barr, but... It's just a wooden coupling and can't move!
Looking at Nicole's stunned appearance, Soga proudly explained: "this energy module is like an engine, which is equivalent to the human heart. It is responsible for supplying magic coupling energy for it to make various actions. It can be said... A wooden coupling with this module becomes a magic coupling, and a magic coupling without this module becomes a wooden coupling!"
In the face of Soga's proud expression, Nicole couldn't help getting angry. Since she met mia, Soga has become more and more estranged from her. Especially when she came in just now, this guy ignored her. The little girl was angry, and she resolutely refused to make Soga happy.
He tooted his mouth slightly. Nicole had nothing to say and said to himself, "what's that? It sounds so good. In fact, your so-called magic coupling is of no value at all. You can put the living people in it directly, can't you move? Why bother to get a module? "
"What! Put people in? " Facing Nicole's retort, Soga first opened his mouth and wanted to retort, but the next moment... Soga suddenly thought of something, opened his mouth in amazement and was stunned.
In fact, the magic couple in ancient times is very powerful. It can reach the level of human tenth order warrior. It is not only conscious, but even intelligent. It can fight independently according to the master's command.
But for a long time, the manufacturing process of magic coupling has long been lost. Now no one can create conscious and intelligent life. Generally speaking, only God has this ability.
After so many years of research, Soga has mastered the manufacturing of magic coupling deeply, but all the time, Soga has always been trapped in the generation of wisdom and consciousness. If the magic coupling cannot produce consciousness, the magic coupling will never be able to fight by itself. Even if the program is set up to fight, it will not be able to defeat any enemy.
But today, after Nicole's angry words, Soga's heart suddenly opened a window. Yes... Since we can't create a magic couple with consciousness and wisdom, why don't we just put people in it?
If put in the past, such a design is meaningless. No matter Soga, Xiang Yun, Roger, Nicole, Mia, or the sisters of the six winged Phoenix angel, they don't need such things at all. It will only become a drag on everyone.
But now it's different. What would it be like to combine the magic couple with those slaves who have abnormal life guardianship? It's shaking to think about it!
As we all know, the working principle of the magic couple is to use the magic symbols engraved on the body surface to form a powerful magic gathering array to accelerate the absorption of Magic Elements in the surrounding air, and then... Concentrate these gathered magic elements into the energy module, that is, the six pointed star array at the heart of the magic couple, stimulate the magic core in the six pointed star array, so as to operate the magic array, Launch magic or fighting attacks according to the magic array engraved on the demon couple.
The characteristic of the magic couple is that it has a steel body, strong defense ability and powerful magic attack ability. If you load people in, and then artificially control the body of the magic couple, and then use the magic couple to increase the movement and attack, it's really perfect.
Although Soga does not think that such a compromise magic coupling can compete with the traditional magic coupling, it is indeed the most suitable situation for Soga, and Soga believes that if we continue to study, there is absolutely great potential!
While thinking, Soga excitedly came to Barr's side. While sorting out a lot of threads in Barr's body, he thought about the possibility that Nicole said. For a time, Soga's eyes became brighter and brighter, and his expression became more and more excited.
Looking at Soga's crazy expression, Nicole couldn't help regretting that Soga was so angry. She secretly stuck out her tongue and ran out secretly before Soga got angry. She didn't want to bear Soga's anger.
Soga has no spirit to pay attention to Nicole's actions. At this moment... He has been completely immersed in this novel idea. If this is feasible, Soga will be developed, absolutely developed! For a week, Soga couldn't even eat. He studied wholeheartedly. With the passage of time, many problems were solved quickly. In the end, Soga could finally be sure that what Nicole said could be realized! The question now is whether we can successfully create the magic coupling in the idea!
