173: Level 6 robot prototype

Time flowed, and in the blink of an eye, more than a month passed, the date quietly arriving at December 3626.

The chill of winter quietly enveloped the Jose Territory, but within the domain, a vibrant, bustling scene unfolded, signaling a profound transformation.

Under the efficient coordination of Spiritual Eye Shou and the tireless efforts of Third Uncle Klein.

The main complex of the Star Advanced Mage Academy, covering a total area of 1,500 square kilometers, was finally declared fully completed before the end of the year!

This brand new institution was not merely a pile of cold architecture; it integrated the ecological harmony of the Verdant Source, the grand aesthetics of the Sea of Thousand Sails, and the rigorous mystery of the Mage Tower.

The towering Mage Tower complex formed the academy's skyline, and the large comprehensive laboratory building resembled a crouching behemoth, equipped internally with advanced facilities inspired and modified from various sub-planes.

The vast spell practice ground was covered by a protective barrier with adjustable intensity, and the tranquil library archive was beginning to take shape, with the first batch of books currently being entered and categorized by spiritual pupil - source.

The dormitory area had an elegant environment, even incorporating the natural ambiance of the Emerald Forest Realm.

The entire academy was filled with an academic atmosphere dedicated to exploring truth, yet it retained the vitality necessary to inspire creativity and imagination.

More crucially, thanks to Third Uncle Klein's extensive network and relentless efforts, the first batch of core teaching staff for the Advanced Academy was already in place.

He not only poached several Level 4 and Level 5 Mage scholars from several well-known Imperial Academies—individuals who were accomplished in their fields but willing to accept new challenges for various reasons—but also attracted a number of promising young Mages.

These professors and lecturers will respectively head the teaching and research for key departments such as Elemental, Rune, Alchemy, Potion, Planar Studies, and Artificing.

Klein himself formally resigned from his position at his original academy and dedicated himself entirely to the establishment and management of the Jose Advanced Mage Academy, serving as its first Headmaster.

Looking at the final report, filled with pride and exhaustion, sent by Third Uncle on the light screen, along with the magnificent real-life images of the academy, Brian felt immense joy.

The completion of the Advanced Academy and the deployment of the teaching staff meant that his talent cultivation system had closed the critical loop from enlightenment to advanced studies, laying the most solid foundation for the family's long-term legacy and the faction's technological upgrade.

And another project of extraordinary significance was completed during the same period.

A large, stable, permanent Two-way Teleportation Array, dedicated to civilian transportation, was officially opened between the Territory Town Center Square and the Jose Family's main territorial city!

This Teleportation Array was not military-grade; its design focused more on safety, stability, and high-volume throughput capacity.

The array's light was soft and continuous, powered by a stable energy supply from the territory, and strict identity verification and security procedures were implemented to ensure only registered and authorized residents and family members could use it.

Its opening caused quite a sensation on the first day.

Many young collateral descendants of the Jose Family, filled with curiosity and longing, became the first visitors to arrive at Brian's territory via the Teleportation Array.

They were stunned by the sight of the majestic Main Tower and the constructs occasionally sweeping across the sky, and they were filled with aspiration for the sprawling, magnificent Intermediate and Advanced Mage Academies.

Similarly, residents within Brian's territory now had the opportunity to conveniently travel to the family's main city, experiencing the long-settled human activity and historical family atmosphere there.

The efficiency of personnel, material, and information flow was qualitatively enhanced, achieving a deep integration of bloodline and culture between the two locations.

This meant that the core strength of the family and the emerging faction pioneered by Brian were tightly linked into a more potential-rich whole, making resource sharing and talent exchange a reality.

Standing on the top floor of the Main Tower, Brian looked down at the constant stream of people using the Teleportation Array, then gazed toward the Advanced Academy complex in the distance, which was already operational and filled with the figures of apprentices and professors—a surge of pride swelled in his heart.

Internal construction had already reached a new level.

In terms of technological research and development, the level 6 robot project was overcoming one difficulty after another under the guidance of Spirit Eye Xi.

In terms of planar conquest, good news continued to pour in from the front lines, with resources flowing in continuously.

Accumulating knowledge, accumulating resources, accumulating strength, accumulating technology—he was steadily walking the path toward a higher echelon.

The foundation was deeply rooted, the bloodlines closely connected; next, it was simply a matter of waiting for the flowers to bloom, waiting for the day when quantitative change triggered qualitative transformation.

His gaze was drawn more toward the depths of the main laboratory, to that one project—the research and development of the Level 6 intelligent robot.

In the center of the laboratory, Spirit Eye Xi was fully focused, coordinating the entire project.

Brian stood beside her, gazing at the several complex holographic models suspended in the air, which represented the new robot's energy core, main structure, Rune System, and intelligent control center, respectively.

"Master, based on the analysis of the existing technical framework, the research and development of the level 6 robot primarily faces four directions for optimization and integration: energy, materials, rune carrying capacity, and the upgrade of the intelligent core."

Spirit Eye Xi reported the situation.

"Among these, the energy core, basic materials, and rune carriers can all be purchased through the Magic Net channels at the Illusory Moon Trading House."

"Mhm, if you need anything, just buy it directly! But!"

Brian changed his tone:

"What we are aiming for is to create a level 6 robot that is beyond the conventional. We need to optimize and integrate our existing technologies into the level 6 robot."

He pointed to the materials model: "First, for the basic materials, we can optimize the internal structure of the ancient Construct Alloy Formula obtained from the Gear Wasteland to enhance its hardness and energy conductivity.

At the same time, we must attempt to embed the self-repairing factors analyzed from the Verdant Source into the alloy's interior. When the material is damaged, these repair factors will achieve localized self-repair under energy drive. We need to synthesize a material similar to Memory Alloy."

"Understood!" Spirit Eye Xi recorded the key points.

"The same applies to rune carriers," Brian continued:

"Purchase basic materials for testing and combine and upgrade them with our existing technology to generate a material with extremely high rune carrying capacity."

"Concurrently, we can also optimize the rune structure. Utilizing the experience we gained in smoothing energy flow and stabilizing node resonance during the Law Roar Cannon research, we can redesign the robot's internal energy circuits, reduce internal consumption, and improve energy utilization efficiency."

"This will allow our robots to exhibit stronger performance or longer-lasting combat capability with the same energy input," Spirit Eye Xi added.

"Finally, and most crucially, is the upgrade of the intelligent core," Brian stated seriously:

"We can draw upon the essence of your core—the information processing architecture—and simplify and specialize it significantly. The goal is to design a Level 6 intelligent core dedicated solely to combat."

He elaborated on his vision:

"The underlying logic of this core will be jointly coded by you, Pupil Slaughter, and spiritual pupil - source, incorporating all the actual combat data, tactical choices, and environmental response protocols from all our planar wars to date. It does not require creative thinking, but it must possess extreme battlefield information processing speed, precise tactical judgment, and perfect multi-unit coordination capability."

Spirit Eye Xi's eyes lit up: "This is an excellent direction! Imbuing the construct with our collective combat wisdom. Simplified architecture, focus on combat, solidified experience... I will begin the design immediately!"

"Mhm! We can start by modifying and upgrading the basic model, and then strengthen the others. With the experience gained from modifying the basic model, the rest will become simpler!"
