Chapter 902 - Fourth Grade Magical Machine
Goblin Plane, City of Machines.
The gigantic goblin laboratory beneath the adept’s tower.
The scaffolds wrapped around the giant magical machine constructs had mostly been taken apart now. Only one or two platform elevators were left for the convenience of goblins moving up and down the machine.
The outer construction of the golem dragon had been completed. The remaining tasks were all being performed inside of the construct. The twenty-meter-square magic generator furnace had already been placed in the appropriate location yesterday. Currently, a large group of goblin technicians was gathered in the narrow and winding metal corridors of the golem dragon. They were banging and hammering away as they put on the final touches for the energy circulation system that would go on a test run soon.
An ordinary magic generator furnace was insufficient for powering a golem dragon as massive as this. Only a large magic generator furnace such as this had a possibility of achieving such a task. The intensity of the magical energy being put out by the magic generator furnace near the core was shockingly high. It was a difficult test and burden for the magical alloy that was supposed to carry the energy throughout the machine.
If a single pipe were to break due to the pressure from the magic energy, the chaotic magical power would spill into the narrow and sealed metal corridor, killing any goblin that was not wearing a special suit.
The goblins had to perform a large number of tests and practical combat simulations to discover hidden flaws, even after the magic generator furnace was placed in the machine.
As the stationed adept of the Goblin Plane, Wind Adept Deserra–who had witnessed the entire activation process of the Fourth Grade dragon–immediately wrote a detailed and comprehensive inspection report for clan headquarters.
Moreover, he subtly submitted a report at the end of the document as well: “With Regards to the Possibility of the Evolution of Magical Goblins!”
As the highest-ranking adept of the Crimson Clan in the Goblin Plane, Deserra had sensitively noticed the fact that some goblins participating in the construction of the golem dragon were showing signs of magic-infusion.
Their bodies were stronger, their strength greater, and their personalities more impatient and intense. However, their bodies had decent compatibility with the violent magical energy surging out of the magic generator furnace.
Of course, such a change was not apparent at the current moment. It was so slight that an ordinary adept would not pick up on the difference unless they were at Deserra’s level.
However, with the activation of the golem dragon, the goblin engineers and technicians that would accompany the machine were very likely to be polluted by the excessively rich magical energy and mutate in some degree and manner.
It was undoubtedly an issue that fascinated the adepts immensely!
…………
Lance, the Capital of Eternity.
The core hall in the steel tower.
The brain took up half the space in the hall, squirming about while Gru stood in front of the glass vat and communicated with it.
“We just got the news that the golem dragon in the Goblin Plane has been successfully activated!”
“Hmph! What does their magical machine golem dragon count for? All its attributes are shockingly low. It is no more than intermediate Fourth Grade trash despite having such a powerful magic generator furnace. Hmph! If those resources were in my hands, I would have created a peak Fourth Grade masterpiece!”
“Is there any point in saying this? Greem is always cautious of us. He would never invest large amounts of resources in our Capital of Eternity. If it weren’t for wanting to borrow our technique of creating large magical machines, he would never even have handed over the Motherships for us to create.”
“That’s right! How far is the progress on the six Motherships? When will the six magic generator furnaces he promised arrive?”
“The six Motherships are off the production line. They are now being outfitted with magic energy weapons in the assembly workshops. The construction should be completely done in another two days. When that happens, I will personally go and insist on the magic generator furnaces.”
“Do you think that Greem will allow us to forge the Iron Titan?”
“Don’t even think about it! Permitting us to build the Motherships was already Greem’s bottom line. After all, the Motherships are no more than auxiliary combat magical machines. However, the Iron Titan…I doubt whether he has enough Queyras metal on hand to support such an enormous project. If we were the ones to build the Titan, we would not have enough metal with the amount we are secretly excavating from Lance. Do you think he would provide us with large amounts of magical alloys from the Goblin Plane?”
Cough!
The hall once again returned to silence after a drawn-out sigh.
