Chapter 1554 The New Era(1/2)
"Is this... you designed it yourself?" Robben looked at the car, his surprise in his heart was beyond description.
"Yes, it took me more than ten years to collect countless materials and win over countless talents to get this thing." The second prince looked into the distance and said with a sigh.
"More than ten years!?" Roben's eyes shrank. The young emperor was less than thirty years old. He was just a furious child more than ten years ago!
"I don't believe it, right?" The second prince shook his head. "When I see this thing, I look back on my previous life, I don't believe it myself, but... this is the fact! It's my life!"
"Did you... foresee that there will be today so early?" Robben couldn't believe that an ordinary human, a human without any strong qualifications, would foresee the future.
The second prince looked at Robben and felt a little more lonely. "No, I can't foresee the future. I just want to live like you. When I realized that my relatives wanted to kill me, I was so scared that I couldn't extricate myself. After locking myself in the house for three days and three nights, I decided to do something. Everything started from that time. I realized that my enemies were unprecedentedly powerful. These... were originally used in preparation for the war to seize power, but unfortunately... After I worked hard for a while, I found that everything was not that difficult. You will know everything afterwards."
"So...you take this thing out now as a bargaining chip for humanity?"
"This is indeed a bargaining chip for human beings, and I want to tell you!" The second prince's eyes flashed with an almost crazy light. "This is only a small part, and this chariot is just a work of me! After these war tools were completed, they were hidden and waiting to deal with the emergency, but the invasion of the gods turned everything into a bubble. I know... these things are not enough to resist the gods, so after that, I have been looking for war tools that can form powerful destructive power and mass-made, but unfortunately... that requires quite a lot of resources. Just the Katon Empire cannot do it."
"So... is there the current alliance?"
The smile on the second prince's face gradually subsided, "Robben, do you hate me? From beginning to end... I can say that I am using you. I know very well that relying on my own strength will never achieve my goal. Unifying the entire human continent is not a dream that humans can achieve!"
Robben was silent for a while. "Then what, what do you want to do?"
"Don't you answer me?" The second prince smiled again, "Robben, after all... you are really a complete idiot. You must still be thinking about it until now. If my reason is justified enough, you will not hold a grudge against me, because I do this for the whole of humanity, right?"
Robben frowned and did not answer.
"You can still get to this day like this. You are so lucky. You are different from me..."
"You haven't answered me yet."
"I... I'm still talking about my previous wishes, don't you believe it?"
"You can say it again."
Looking up at the sky, the second prince was a little lost, "I... want a world where I can sleep peacefully, and I don't have to be as afraid of the darkness as I am now... I fear tomorrow that I don't know what will happen."
"That's it?" Robben tilted his head.
The second prince laughed, "The deepest wishes buried in people's hearts, and sometimes wishes that are willing to give their lives to exchange for, are often ridiculous, right?"
Robben walked to the car and looked at its exposed structure carefully. After a long time, he said, "This thing... I can help you change it."
The second prince was a little lost and suddenly stunned, "What did you say?"
"Although I'm not good at this, I also participated in the physics and machinery group in college and screamed in the national competition. Although I didn't even get a name, if they knew that I was using the poor knowledge here to save the world, I would be stunned."
"University...Mechanical Team...Robben, what are you talking about?"
"Ah... nothing? I just want to say that your thing is...it's actually very stupid and terrible. Of course, it's already good to do this according to your level. I... should be a little higher than your level. So don't worry, I won't break this."
"Bang!" When Robben pulled a handle, there was a sound in the car, and two fragments of parts suddenly burst out!
"Robben!" The second prince screamed violently.
"Don't worry, don't worry..." Robben waved his hands repeatedly, "I understand the principle. The weapon of ejection attack, this shell-like thing, uses the most basic fire magic mark, as well as some rare ore and magic crystals, well... there are also isolation and delayed compartments inside, which is really good, don't worry... I really won't ruin it..."
"Crack...bang..."
Robben fiddled with this thing for a while...
When the thing was only half the size of the size and the rest of the parts were scattered on the ground and became fragmented, Robben had to stop, "Well... I think I need a new sample!"
"Robbon!!" The second prince grabbed Robben's collar, "You bastard! Do you know how much energy and money it will cost to make a thing like this!?"
Robben scratched his cheek, "This... I haven't worked on this for a long time, I'm just a little bit of a hand. Don't you... plan to take me to visit your secret base?"
The second prince looked at Robben like a man, "You plague god, the better the distance away from here!!"
"Ah... it's really unreasonable." Robben gently pressed the second prince's arm, "I'm kind-hearted..."
There was a sudden burst of tears in front of him, and the second prince was shocked. He was on the roof just now, but in a blink of an eye, he arrived in the room, and... this was his secret arsenal.
"Oh...it's really spectacular."
The second prince then realized that Robben in his hand had disappeared at some point, but his voice came from behind.
Turning back suddenly, the second prince found Robben stopping in front of a huge rack to watch.
"The space here is much larger than outside. I didn't expect that the space magic is used here. If you don't check it carefully outside, you can't feel it. Moreover, it's remote and there is no fun place. You are already planning to build a new park here, but the construction has not started for a long time. It turns out that your factory is moved to this safe place. Even the elves and witches who like to wander around will not be interested in this place. You are so smart."
Robben only looked at the huge rack in front of him and turned away, "Let's go, my inventor, take me to see what you are most proud of, even if you keep hiding my compensation."
This is a very huge space, which is only three meters high at best if measured from the outside. But when you enter inside, it is dozens of meters from the ground to the tall dome, and the huge war machinery does not seem crowded at all here.
There is a long corridor in the middle of this huge space, and there are spaces of large and small sizes separated on both sides. The entire space is divided into four layers, among these compartments of different sizes. Countless people are making equipment of all sizes, some are only the size of a palm, some are as high as ten meters or even dozens of meters, and require more than a dozen or even dozens of people to work together.
Robben walked slowly on the spiral stairs in the corridor, looking at the busy people in the huge spaces on both sides, and couldn't help but be amazed, "I didn't expect you to build such a place. I was really surprised."
The second prince walked with Robben a little depressedly, "I call this beehive, which is the biggest secret. People here have never left since they started working. Everything here is closed, food and water are self-sufficient, and there is no sunshine. I don't know the years and months, and I spend every day like this, and every day is so hard. Since the establishment of the first beehive... many people have died."
"Where did they... come from?" Robben stopped.
"The wanderers, death row prisoners, truly powerful craftsmen, civilians... all kinds of things are there. There are thousands of men, women, young and old, and there are only a part of them. My initial hive is still running. There are more people there. You must have wanted to ask me if I treat them like this, and if I should feel guilty, right?"
"Yes?"
"Each of them knows what they are doing. Before coming here, I will tell them what they are going to do and why they do these things. Each of them is a person with no relatives and few friends. This is the first condition, and the second condition is very harsh. I need them... to give everything for me, even life!"
"Do they really know what they are doing?"
"Maybe it's not really clear, but... they know why they do it, and I told them, these are for humanity."
"For humanity?" Robben frowned slightly, "Just like this, they will devote their lives to you? You really don't use any other means!"
"This does not require any means. They have almost no relatives or friends. All they want to realize is their own wishes. I told them that this is for the future of the empire and for the future of mankind. Many people will not believe it. They have not gotten the opportunity to enter here, but there are still a few fools who believe me."
"A few... idiots?"
"Yes." The second prince walked forward first. "It should not be a smart guy who can work tirelessly for such a ridiculous goal. Everyone here is a complete idiot. Of course, you and me are the same."
Luo Benyuan wanted to speak, but couldn't help but be stunned.
"Let's go, don't you want to see everything here?" The second prince walked over with a smile.
Robben was in a complicated mood and followed silently.
Walking, the second prince said: "I referenced the vast majority of war tools in the history of human war, consulted countless craftsmen, and finally designed these equipment by myself. Of course, not all of them were designed by me. Most of them were made by later people, and they were stronger than me."
"In this world where magic is prevalent, there are countless magic props, but those are expensive and troublesome to make and cannot be used in batches in war. I started to make powerful weapons that can be made of large quantities of available materials, just as our ancestors invented bows and arrows, invented long swords and armor. I want to reopen a route of war and rewrite the difference in status between our humans and gods and demons."
Robben looked as he walked and was very surprised. There were endless machinery, big and small, and the level of precision was definitely beyond the current mechanical level in the world.
"But such an attempt requires huge capital and long-term time. When I realized that I needed to fight enemies like gods and demons, I didn't even know if I would have a successful day, but the gods had mercy on my wishes, a little human, so you appeared in front of me. After some of the things happened, my heart was full of hope, or I could be crazy. I stubbornly believed that I could do this, and that guy with a stupid look on his face... would definitely help me get something I would never get in my life!"
“Those words sound really don’t sound happy.”
The second prince smiled faintly, "I don't want to apologize, that's meaningless. There is no way to go now. I only have this way. If I stop... I will die. Everything about me will be meaningless. Robben... Do you think these things have the value of their existence?"
Robben was silent for a while and nodded slightly, "Although I'm not sure,... I have to say that you are a genius, and you have grasped the point of intercourse between all things. The excellent things about human beings compared to the gods and demons are our wisdom and creativity, and... it is the vast land and almost infinite resources of the human continent. If this is not true, maybe... there will be no possibility."
"Is that... I'm really happy that you can say this." The second prince turned around, "The power of the gods and demons deeply shocked me. Their strong bodies. Their unparalleled fighting spirit and magic are not possible for us to surpass them. This even made me despair for a while. Fortunately... I haven't fallen yet."
Robben looked at the huge hive and felt a lot of emotion.
The power of human beings is actually inherited from the teachings of the gods. Whether it is fighting spirit or magic... I have always been complacent in this seemingly gifted shackle, but I will never escape this cage.
Perhaps the young emperor in front of him didn't know this, but he keenly smelled something. He knew clearly that relying solely on cohesion and quantity, humans would never be able to get rid of their current destiny. He created a brand new force and was only suitable for humans on the human continent. Neither the gods nor the demons had such skilled craftsmen and huge natural resources. This was a war machine that only humans could make.
If it can be applied on a large scale, then this is undoubtedly a powerful tool.
This guy... saw something he couldn't see... he was such a monster.
Robben touched his cheek, "Since you have let me see the thing on the roof, you have reached a level close to actual combat compared to similar objects?"
"Many things have been prepared long ago. It's just that a little material is missing. The Allies have transported the only things they lack. It only takes a very short time to put them into the war."
"Is there a little more time?" Robben picked up an unknown thing from the shelf beside him. "Very good. I have a few days. I originally wanted to let the elves and witches understand the situation in the God Realm first, but if that's the case, let's do the things here first. This time... it seems that we have to make a big splash!"
The second prince slowly showed a big smile, "I knew... you are still reliable."
"I don't want a man to say this to me, it's really disgusting..."
"Hahaha... You are essentially a pervert, and you have never exposed teeth."
"It's easy... I don't care about that." Robben looked at the small instrument in his hand and said softly, "I have seen with my own eyes how people use the power that can destroy that world in a world without magic. If you persist, we may also get that power."
For several days, Robben and the Second Prince were discussing how to strengthen existing machinery and use all the resources that can be used to strengthen these equipment.
The almost crazy ideas in the Second Prince's mind always surprised Robben, and what surprised the Second Prince was that this friend, who seemed to have no talent in production, would always say something to the point, and would be more comfortable with some incomprehensible principles.
According to the position given by the Second Prince, Robben took his handwritten letter and token to the desert a distance from Katon and found the first hive. It was completely a huge underground factory. After being subjected to a very strict inspection, Robben was determined to be the envoy of the Second Prince. After understanding this place, Robben was even more surprised that the mechanical level of this place was almost scientific, and it was not the same thing as the various equipment used on the mainland now.
Enclosed in this huge underground space, unremitting efforts have never communicated with the outside world, and more than ten years have resulted in such a huge achievement!
Robben was shocked, shocked by the second prince's crazy ideas, shocked by the exquisite craftsmanship of human beings, and even more shocked by the unswerving perseverance of these people. It was just a reason, no proof, and no huge price. It was just for a belief that such a miracle was created in this closed world.
This may indeed be a great creation, but...Robben was also slightly worried that this may also be the root of mankind.
But no matter what. Now this is the hope of mankind. If human values are recognized and humans have the ability to protect themselves, then... everything will become easier. If humans are proud to make up for the greatest weaknesses of the gods and demons, then this will no longer be a temporary peace established by one or two people. But the long-lasting entire era of mankind.
"Is this... you designed it yourself?" Robben looked at the car, his surprise in his heart was beyond description.
"Yes, it took me more than ten years to collect countless materials and win over countless talents to get this thing." The second prince looked into the distance and said with a sigh.
"More than ten years!?" Roben's eyes shrank. The young emperor is less than thirty years old now. He was just a furious child more than ten years ago!
