Chapter 1104
"The perfect ideal of magic armor!"
Speaking of things like artificial humans, Ludwig XII really doesn"t understand. It"s the highest level of alchemy in the divine era.
"Nuclear explosion," "artificial human," and "Philosopher"s Stone" are among the greatest challenges in the world that even mages couldn"t conquer during the peak of human civilization in the divine era.
Now, the empire"s proud technology of magic armor, can you believe it originated from the same kind of experiment as Prince Ashe, an artificial human?
How is it possible that he, as the emperor of the empire, doesn"t know about this?
"Yes, the development of magic armor itself was not for the purpose of warfare, but rather a new project to simulate the most perfect human physique."
"Its prototype is the Golden People."
"But even the most skilled alchemist warlocks of the divine era could not reproduce the details of the original divine era bloodline. All the artificial human experiments failed."
"Babies created through artificial wombs were all born with congenital defects."
"In the end, this experiment was abandoned and considered an impossible forbidden experiment."
"After the end of the divine era, we began to revisit our initial research and gave up on the plan to replicate the perfect divine era bloodline."
Poincar reminisced about his original intention in developing magic armor.
In the beginning, the magic armor was not developed as a weapon for war, but as a simulation of the original bloodline from the divine era.
Instead of following the traditional path of alchemical warlocks from the divine era, they took a different approach.
Since they couldn"t achieve a perfect replica, they decided to lower their standards and focus on partially simulating the bloodline instead.
The system of the original bloodline from the divine era was too intricate, even the alchemical warlocks from that time couldn"t figure it out. So, they decided to amplify it and increase the margin of error, creating enormous creatures that resembled giants, using the human form as the basis.
The essence of the t.i.tled machine is a man-made giant, a tool to test theories of the alchemical warlocks.
However, when Ludwig XII, who sponsored this project, was shocked to discover that this simulated giant had strength surpa.s.sing that of a normal hero-ranked knight by more than ten times, and was capable of shattering city walls into pieces with a single punch, the plan completely changed.
They decided to clothe this simulated giant, powered by a flawless gemstone, in armor that was far beyond what a human could handle. Along with the hero-ranked knights who controlled these artificial giants, they created the most powerful war weapon of the new erathe t.i.tled machine.
Furthermore, they also created a new type of magic armor by combining parts of the artificial giants" flesh and systems, albeit in a degraded form.
The magic armor system of the entire empire was the result of continuous degradation like this.
At the lowest level, even ordinary people without any fighting skills can control machines that don"t have the flesh of artificial giants, to prepare for wearing more advanced magic armor.
Only humans with true talent and the ability to go further can gradually adapt to the fighting style of magic armor and eventually ride on the new type of magic armor that is powered by hero-ranked knights.
As for the strongest t.i.tled machine, the entire Leviathan Empire used the strength of the whole country to only build nine of them.
"So, that Prince Ashe is a higher-level scientist than our t.i.tled machine?" Ludwig XII could hardly believe his ears.
"Based on the results, it seems so." Poincar nodded, not knowing what kind of black box technology Sia Kingdom used to create Prince Ashe.
All probabilities of impossibility, under the condition that they have become facts, have been proven to be possible.
The technology of magic armor is theoretically the most perfect way to artificially create human bloodlines, and only the power of the original bloodlines from the divine era can accept the synchronization of human consciousness and unleash a power far beyond that of an ordinary hero-ranked.
From the perspective of pure power output, Prince Ashe with a human body naturally cannot compare to t.i.tled machines that have a perfect gemstone core and have power that is ten or even a hundred times that of a normal hero-ranked.
However, from a technological and theoretical perspective, Prince Ashe himself is the most perfect evolutionary direction for humans, as the golden people blessed by Sia.
Lifespan that lasted for thousands of years.
The ability to mate and have offspring with any species.
Wisdom and strength that humans cannot imagine.
Why did the alchemists of the divine era go to great lengths to conduct these forbidden experiments, even after the end of the divine era, scholars didn"t give up researching in this direction, this is the answer.
Born during the magical tide period, the golden human bloodline symbolizes the ultimate perfection of humanity and is so enchanting.
Even during the decline of the magical tide, humans with the golden bloodline can still freely use magic because their magical power is completely integrated into their bloodline.
The warlock, the only human occupation that still possesses the ability to use magic in the continent, is the best proof that the golden bloodline of the people is perfect in any era and can surpa.s.s the influence of the magical tide.
It is a beacon of hope for the mages who have lost their magical power.
Magic armor is the intellectual crystallization created by the mages who have lost their magical power using the power of "science," which allows humans to return to the glory of the divine era.
The evidence is that the t.i.tled machine has extraordinary power of their own, Poincar also lost his composure when he discovered this.
For the wizards who have lost their magical power for too long, this is simply a miracle.
Unfortunately, the lowest requirement for controlling the t.i.tled machine also requires ahero-rank physique. For the wizards who have lost their magical power, this is simply a prank of the world.
The reproduced extraordinary magical power is out of reach for the most orthodox mage successors, there is nothing sadder in this world.
Even Poincar, known as a modern sage, only has a normal human physique level. Without warlock bloodline, he can never cast a fireball in his lifetime.
On the other hand, Asmid, who spends his days blacksmithing and can wield a large hammer, may have a chance to become a warrior by using the t.i.tled machine.
This is nothing short of a dark comedy.
"I want all the information about Prince Ashe."
"Ideally, we should be able to impregnate members of the Holy Silver Dragon Knight Order, the more samples the better." Poincar stared into Ludwig XII"s eyes and voiced his needs.
"You are always so reckless... My Poincar..." Ludwig XII tapped his throne with his fingers and nodded:
"This plan can be carried out."
Poincar rarely showed a smile.
Yes, his requests were always unanswered, because he could always see what people needed in their hearts.
Ludwig XII never refused his requests.
The power of science is enough to unravel all mysteries.
He never had any doubts about this.
