Stray Chapter 8: God made weapons


  The revolution started in Argos.

   From the heart of the kingdom, among the most prosperous cities.

  The fire of the stars has been burning at some point, and the fierce fire swept away in all directions of the earth.

  Steel-making technology, steam technology, cutting machine tools, hoisting and transportation... A variety of advanced technical materials, as well as the corresponding field industries, seem to have accelerated countless times, directly skipping the original technological revolution The stage of accumulation and promotion just appeared in Argos.

   What followed was a huge change sweeping across society.

   is like a simulation business and real-time strategy game. It is necessary to reasonably allocate the ratio of population and resource positions, and balance output and consumption, so that the society can function normally. Therefore, the change will be accompanied by severe pains. Because of the shift of the social center of gravity, the originally stable distribution will be disrupted again.

  Reality is not a game. It is not a simple click of a mouse to assign the corresponding numbers of the population to the corresponding positions, and then the reform process can be simply completed.

   It takes time and trial and error to rediscover a suitable social system, and in the process, most people can only passively accept and bear it all.

  "I'm not hiring anymore, I'm going to say it a few times..."

  In the unrecognizable former shipyard, the gate of the current giant weapon assembly factory, surrounded by a large group of people, crowded and bustling, you push me, they are all excited and talking loudly, each All kinds of accents are mixed together, and it is completely inaudible.

   In front of the closed steel factory, the person in charge wiped the sweat from his forehead and repeated loudly over and over again under the protection of the guards.

   He felt that he was really unlucky today, and he encountered such a problem just when he came to inspect. But there is no way, if this group of **** tricksters really makes trouble here and affects the production of the factories behind, it will be himself who will be hurt in the end.

   repeated several times aloud, and the surrounding people finally heard it clearly, but there was a loud uproar even more dissatisfied, and the scene was extremely noisy for a while.

   They were very dissatisfied with this, and the crowd rioted.

   For now, because of the short time, the people have not felt the pain of social change, but they have definitely felt the impact of the sudden closure of the shipyard more than a month ago. Then it was transformed into what is known as the "Church of Steam and Machinery", and a large number of craftsmen were hired.

   There are ten times more craftsmen than the previous shipyard.

   It's a pity that at that time, they didn't seize the opportunity. After all, they still looked at it according to their previous eyes. They felt that the original shipyard had just changed its brand, and they also felt that the job was too unsafe.

   After all, where do you need so many ships on weekdays, the market in this era is extremely limited.

   It can be said that the only purpose of the shipyard's existence is to repair the warships of Argos.

   I don't have any work at all on weekdays, but I can't do it without it. Naturally, I won't say how good the salary package is. I can only say that I am half-dead and hang my life... Now I will do it again, naturally no one will Even the original shipyard craftsman who managed to escape from this big pit was beaten to death and refused to go in again.

   As a result, the re-listed Church of Steam and Mechanics can only start with the "outsiders" who have come to Argos for pilgrimage recently, looking for opportunities, and it is hard to get enough manpower to be able to re-run. Put into production with maximum efficiency.

   The top secret about the manufacture of giant mechanical warfare weapons, of course, cannot be accessible to everyone, but the Church of Steam and Machinery does not exist purely for this matter.

  Because the Giant God Soldier is not a country without an industrial base, the heavy equipment that can be maintained, even if it is built with all the strength of the country, the subsequent maintenance cannot be carried out, so all-round technological change is necessary.

   At least a country with an industrial base must be able to support it.

   Therefore, the Church of Steam and Machinery naturally shoulders such a mission. The core secret is to manufacture giant soldiers, and at the same time, it is also promoting the process of industrialization regardless of cost, starting from the entire city, vigorously carrying out various aspects. Big makeover.

  It is also fortunate that this is a high-level magical plane with mythological elements, and it is the power beyond the mundane that promotes all this, so it can make things go smoothly, and there are no jokes that encourage and promote it.

   The residents of Argos were the first to feel the impact.

  "It was like a dream!"

   This is a phrase that almost everyone has been talking about this month. They have seen with their own eyes that the ruling class is going crazy and wants to transform the entire city, and it has really been vigorously promoted.

  The roads were re-planned, the complex buildings were flattened and rebuilt, the steam pipes as complex as spider webs were laid in every corner of the city, the crystal street lamps were erected on both sides of the spacious main roads, all kinds of strange The machine appears...

   Some veterans with hand and foot disabilities were replaced with those mechanical prostheses that were either cold or ferocious, but their structures were inconceivably exquisite, without exception, with a unique sci-fi aesthetic. Two lives...

   There are also a variety of magical products. In addition to the unknown and unfamiliar, there are also those that are more in line with their cognition and style of painting, such as various precious books in the past, mass-produced enchanted cold weapons, and more. There are magical potions that mortals may never have access to...

   It can be said that everything that can be industrialized and mass-produced has quickly entered the right track and has become popular and civilian.

   is so beautiful that it is like entering the kingdom of heaven.

   And people will never be satisfied. When the people find out that all this comes from the Church of Steam and Machinery, and although they can access all the beauty, they still have to pay a certain price. When craftsmen can enjoy such benefits for granted, they are naturally red-eyed.

   Why can those out-of-town buns get such treatment!

   This is clearly an opportunity for their Argos!

  …………

  "No matter how many times I watch it, I always think this style is too magical..."

  In the interior of the assembly factory, in the highest office, a woman looked down at the commotion at the door below through the huge French window, and couldn't help expressing such emotion.

   This is obviously the world of "Clash of the Gods", but now it has a feeling beyond recognition.

  "What's the matter, isn't this a magical world?"

   Captain sat behind the desk, raised his head after hearing this, and said with a smile.

   "Don't make trouble, Captain, you know what I mean." The woman pouted and waved her hand.

   All kinds of novelties are emerging one after another. The changes in Argos this month are even greater than the changes in the past ten years. The inventions and creations of the application seem to be poured out without money.

  The city that used to be very ancient Greece has now completely turned into a steampunk style.

  There are many chimneys in the distance, with thick soot...

  The spacious cement stone slopes and concrete buildings in the civilian area complement each other, setting off the Greek-style palaces that belong to the royal majesty at a high place. There is a sense of time and space...

  The pipes made of brass are laid scattered, the steam-powered hubs are steaming, and they wear ancient Greek-style armor and weapon shields, but their arms or legs may be guards with mechanical prostheses reflecting the texture of steel in the streets. Patrol back and forth...

   Although it is still just a prototype, they still feel complicated, and of course the sense of accomplishment is greater, because strictly speaking, all this is from their handwriting.

   The big guy is completely a hand-in-hand, asking for resources for resources, for technology for technology, everything, as if the main **** space has been transformed into a human-like power, which can be exchanged and swiped for all kinds of things without limit. But it just doesn't matter.

   So for more than a month, they have been busy running before and after running into dogs, and they have achieved such results.

   "Speaking of which, Captain, have you made up your mind?" The woman pondered for a while, then turned to look at the man and asked.

  During this period of time, she and the other three have exchanged for what they want one after another, well controlled their own rationality, and did not take risks to try to obtain something beyond their own tolerance... …the water in it was so deep they felt like they couldn’t hold it.

   The power of that existence is completely beyond their imagination. It seems that he is no longer an ordinary **** and demon. The exchange list given by him is full of first-class enhancements of "The Great Emperor of the Universe" and "The God of All Machines". It seems that as long as If they make up their minds, they can go straight to the sky in one step...

   But at what cost?

   They don't know and don't want to know.

   Only the captain has not made up his mind to make a choice. The four team members are very aware of the entanglement in this man's heart.

  The man sighed and scratched his hair in pain: "I...I don't know."

   Reason and impulsiveness have been fighting each other these days, no one can overwhelm the other, but he knows that the fact that he has been so entangled means that a clear tendency has gradually appeared in his heart. The victory of greed over reason is not far off.

  Power...

   He is extremely eager for power, and has never had such an opportunity in front of him. It seems that as long as a contract is signed and the soul is delivered, all this can be exchanged.

   "Captain, I... I don't know if I should persuade you, but..." the woman said hesitantly, "I don't know when the club will come over, you have to make a decision as soon as possible, otherwise , we will lose the initiative..."

  "I know..." The man sighed.

   It has been a month since the distance signal was sent. It seems that nothing has happened, but in fact it is only because the time flow between the worlds is not equal. It is very likely that the support of the community is already on the way. .

   is usually the core member team as the vanguard, with a demigod leading the team.

  If you don't have enough conditions before they arrive, then the development dominance of this world will inevitably change hands.

  "Then you..."

  The woman wanted to continue to say something, but immediately noticed some strange atmosphere, like the calm before the storm.

   She looked out the window subconsciously, and with the advantage of the height, she could clearly see the sea outside the harbor, and suddenly the calm became rough. disappeared.

   looks like a storm is coming.

   "Come on... huh! It's been a month, and if the other side doesn't take any action at all, I'll be suspicious!"

  The man stood up all of a sudden, knowing that this was the revenge attack of the Lord God who suffered a loss before, but he couldn't determine whether it was Hades' method or Poseidon's, and why it took so long Time, let them all be ready to take revenge.

   But these are not important, the important thing is...

  "Let Perseus prepare immediately and strike at any time! It's time for the No. 0 aircraft to be tested!"

  …

  …

   On the unfathomable seabed, a huge shadow slowly rises, the sea rises with high wave crests, and the outlines larger than the entire city are highlighted little by little, bringing endless terrible pressure. It seems that the most ancient nightmare evil in the depths of human genes is approaching the physical world little by little.

   was finally accompanied by a roar, as if thousands of thunders exploded at the same time, everyone witnessed it rise from the bottom of the sea with a roar, and everything on the sea was destroyed.

  The huge body, the flurry of tentacles, everything is so desperate.

   The whole of Argos trembled, all the residents screamed, panicked and desperate, their faces were pale, and even their legs were limp on the ground, dumbly looking at the approaching shadow of despair, feeling The moment when the doomsday comes

   There are also rough waves in the harbor.

  The huge mechanical head emerged from the water, and the electronic eyes flashed a terrifying red glow.

   A giant figure as majestic as a demon, breaking through the sea and rising into the sky, facing off against the approaching giant siren without fear, a huge chainsaw-like weapon several kilometers long in one hand, and a force visible to the naked eye in the other hand Field Divine Shield.

   This scene of birth shocked everyone!

  …………

  "That's how it feels!"

   Sitting in the cabin, Perseus, who was connected to the entire giant giant soldier through neural control, said excitedly, and truly felt the power of himself at this moment, he seemed to be a huge mecha like this mountain. , integrated into a whole.

  's height above that brings a broad field of vision, which is probably the vision of "God"?

   At such a height, seeing how small the mundane is, coupled with the unparalleled power he felt at this moment, he really felt that his mind and daring seemed to be All of a sudden it opened up.

   That's right! This is the romance of men! The man should be so!

  It's really inappropriate to think about yourself before! That's how life should be, everything else is low taste!

   Perseus, who was extremely excited in his heart, felt the boundless power surging in his body, let out a roar, and controlled the mecha to meet him.

The battle between the    Giant God Soldier and the North Sea Giant Monster is about to start!

  …………

  "No...it shouldn't be like this..."

  In the chaotic city of Argos, a white-clothed, immortal woman stared at the great battle on the sea in a daze. She came in pursuit of destiny, and finally found the hero of heaven today... But what made her feel messy was what was going on with this style of painting.

  This city...

   and that demon-like weapon...

   Ai suddenly had an intuition that she should have taken action long ago, and now it is too late.

  …

  …

   Just when everything was in chaos, a dignified, beautiful, bright and moving figure entered the steel factory in the harbor when no one was paying attention.

   In the deepest area, "she" looked at the huge workshops and production equipment, as well as everything that was incompatible with this world and this era, showing a thoughtful expression: "Too rudimentary Equipment..."

  "After all, it's just a zero machine with more experimental ingredients than actual use."

   A leisurely voice came from behind.

  The magician leaned against the wall and looked at the incarnation of the goddess of wisdom who came to visit

  "Almost all the technologies come from the ordinary world. I just assembled them and handed them over without any modification. Naturally, they are very simple."

  "Why not?"

The goddess    didn't turn her head back, she didn't seem surprised by his arrival, she just asked calmly.

   "Because I think you should have a better idea than me in this regard, don't you? The person who knows you best is the enemy, and I am not the enemy of Zeus, I don't know him very well, so I am targeted I will leave the work to you.”

   The magician said in a natural tone.

   "Why do you think we would agree?" There was a hint of a smile in the voice of the goddess.

  "You have already delivered to your door now, it would be too hypocritical to ask such a question..."

  Xia Ran glanced at a certain direction in the sky, stretched out her hand and made a gesture of invitation

   "Take advantage of the time your uncles, brothers and sisters give you to fight together and distract Zeus, please hurry up and do it!"

  …

  …

  "Giant Soldier."

   "The exquisite conception was proposed by Athena, the goddess of wisdom and art. Hephaestus, the **** of fire, forging and craftsmanship, forged and smelted the form, and Ares, the **** of war, gave it strength and bravery, and Apollo, the **** of light, gave it The fire and heat of the sun, Poseidon, the **** of the sea, gave it the power to fight tsunamis, earthquakes and storms..."

  "The gods bless it together!"

  "It is a weapon created by the gods! It is only to overthrow the rule of the cruel and unkind Zeus! Resist the tyranny of the third king of the gods!"

  The Epic of Argos
