Ace Dragon Rider
Chapter 639 - 508: Weapon Upgrade!_2
Long Yi nodded emotionally, "This is already extraordinary."
The goal of the miniature golems designed by the giants was to protect humans and to not occupy too much space during normal times. Thus, these golems had the ability to transform. When inactive, they could automatically shrink into an elliptical, egg-shaped structure. Their heavy surface armor enough to protect them, once activated, would automatically break apart into weapons.
Originally, these golems were the early designs of the Giants. The Darkness Saintess redesigned their power systems, this new power system incorporated some of the technology from the Core Clan. Two power cores can be used alternately, so while one is in operation, the other can rapidly recover energy. When the golem is in rest state, the recovery speed of both cores will greatly increase.
When in a closed state, these golems wouldn’t suffer a single scratch due to the sophisticated shock absorption structure within them, even if they were thrown down from the sky!
Airdrop!
How cool!
"These golems, they should be able to help, right?" The Darkness Saintess looked at Long Yi, her face full of hope.
"This is a great help! It’s like sending charcoal in snowy weather!"
Long Yi picked up the Darkness Saintess and spun her around in the air before putting her down.
"If we can help you, Brother Long, we’re all very happy!" The Darkness Saintess blushed and glanced shyly at the Dark Clan behind her, who watched her with smiles on their faces.
"I was still worrying about how to deal with those Undead armies, now it is good. With these battle golems, I’ll definitely let those fools in the Black Dragon Empire see what a meat grinder on the battlefield is like!"
When Long Yi returned from the Underground City, his private space was packed full. Thirty thousand battle golems gave Long Yi an immense confidence. As soon as he returned from the Darkness City, he immediately rode non-stop to the Gentle Wind Plain. Along the way, he had already contacted Crystal Demon Princess Belle. More than half a year had passed since Long Yi last traveled to the Crystal Demon Plane. Even though Long Yi had been maintaining contact with Belle through Lingling, he never asked for help. Belle wanted to help Long Yi but didn’t know how to begin, so she was overjoyed when Long Yi indicated the matter was urgent.
During the past half year, the home star of the Crystal Demon had completely become a prosperous planet. The material life of the Crystal Demons was very rich, there was virtually nothing they couldn’t obtain for themselves. The Crystal Demons were more interested in the pursuit of spiritual matters, with some of them taking scientific research as their own pursuit.
Belle had joined the research on the giants. The giants had profoundly selflessly influenced nearly every race in the multi-universe in their own time. At the same time, they had left many legacies across the universe. Some races, despite receiving the giants’ help, self-destructed and extinguished their own kind. The giants’ legacy, however, remained. As one of the few races that could easily travel in the universe without outside help, the Crystal Demons had repeatedly organized expeditions to investigate planets suspected of containing giant relics.
Belle had just finished an expedition that lasted a month and had made some gains. Before she had time to sort out the results, Long Yi sent her a message, and Belle hurried to the building.
Just in time to see Long Yi stepping out of the plane gateway.
"Brother Long!"
Belle called from a distance.
"I’m here to bother you again!" Long Yi said apologetically.
"Brother Long!" Belle puffed out her lips and pretended to be angry. Long Yi immediately chuckled and scratched his head, not saying anything more.
This was result of Belle’s long study of Human Realm culture. Of the simplest and most effective strategies to deal with men, this one was within the top three.
Belle took Long Yi to the secret chamber, where Long Yi tossed a massive, metal egg onto the ground.
"Battle form!"
At Long Yi’s command, the metal armor split apart, revealing a huge combat golem.
"I need at least thirty thousand light cannons customized to this caliber. The specific requirements are these..."
Long Yi detailed his requirements, while Belle listened patiently. When Long Yi finished speaking, he looked at Belle and asked, "This request is rather significant. How long will it take to complete it all?"
Belle thought for a moment.
"At least seven days."
"Eh? Only seven days?" Long Yi was taken aback.
"Yes, seven days. Actually, the requirements you just made removed the most troublesome parts of the light cannon manufacturing process. Moreover, over a hundred mother crystals from our previous Crystal Demon star are idle, seven days is enough."
Belle said.
"That’s fantastic!" Long Yi exclaimed with a fist pump.
"By the way, Brother Long, when I came back, I heard the Black Dragon had started another war?" Belle asked.
"Yes, that idiot Yake couldn’t resist the thrill again." Long Yi spoke, curling his lip.
"We won, right?"
"Of course we did. If not, you’d probably still be watching me fight bravely."
"It seems like it wasn’t an easy victory."
"Obviously... if it was easy, I wouldn’t be rushing around for reinforcements, hahaha!"
Belle watched as Long Yi discussed the ease of the battle. Although he didn’t know the intricacies of the war, it seemed unlikely that the White Dragon Empire had won easily under the great pressure of Dragon Island.
"Brother Long, I have something I think you should take a look at." Belle said.
"What is it?" Long Yi was confused.
"Actually, I’m not quite sure either. I was part of an archaeological team — a team that investigates various relics left by Giants in space. I collected some things, but I haven’t had a chance to identify them yet. There might be something useful for you."
Giant relics?
With a smile, Long Yi considered the idea. Giants had become the focus of archaeological study, making him feel somewhat pathetic.
The massive warehouse was filled with various items. Even as a Giant, Long Yi found it hard to identify some of these things.
So, Long Yi promptly took out the Giant’s scepter and tablet. If there was anything valuable here, he didn’t plan on missing it.
The Giant’s tablet diligently helped Long Yi to identify every item in the vicinity. Even if there were only fragments left, so long as there was enough information, the tablet could help him determine what the item was.
Suddenly, a notification on the tablet caught Long Yi’s eye.
"Publication, ’Our Path’."
It turns out that even in this Giant World there are publications!
A strong curiosity led Long Yi to pull out the book from a deep corner. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
The book was unique. Once opened, it revealed only a cool metallic slab. When imbued with the power of a Giant, text and images would begin to float to the surface.
Language, perhaps, was the easiest and most direct way to understand a race.
Long Yi began reading, gradually immersing himself in the book.
The book elucidated the events that transpired after the arrival of the Heavenly Kingdom in an almost summary-like fashion, offering a more complete picture of the Giants.
In truth, like any other ordinary race, initially the Giants were full of greed, selfishness, and strife. But after the arrival of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Giants’ technological and cultural levels exploded, transforming their entire race.
Thereafter, those Giants who left their home star started to assist other races. In aiding others, the Giants reaped happiness, glory, and amassed a wealth of knowledge.
Once the Giants amassed enough knowledge, they began to introspect. What was the God that created the Giants really like?
So, the Giants began to follow in the footsteps of God. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote and recommend it. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
