174: Materials, basic molding

With the policy established, research and development immediately commenced in full swing.

A stable foundation is the prerequisite for all derivative models, so Brian clearly instructed that all resources be prioritized and concentrated on upgrading the [level 6 basic intelligent robot].

Spirit Eye Xi first placed a large number of orders through the Magic Net at the Illusory Moon Trading House, procuring various Level 6 materials of different specifications and properties.

This included several models of Level 6 energy cores (Type 1 (Standard), Type 2 (Medium), Type 3 (Large)), and various basic energy-conducting metals (such as void star gold, flowing shadow mithril, and Obsidian Adamantite).

Once these materials were delivered, the first round of basic material performance testing and screening immediately began.

The laboratory operated at full capacity, and massive amounts of data poured into spiritual pupil - source for analysis.

“Preliminary analysis of the test results is complete.”

A few days later, Spirit Eye Xi reported.

“Considering overall performance and cost, we recommend using an optimized alloy of void star gold and flowing shadow mithril for the basic model's main structure, and utilizing the Type 1 energy core.”

With the basic direction determined, the next step was technical integration and optimization.

The Material Synthesis Laboratory began attempting to use the Ancient Construct Alloy Formula obtained from the Gear Wasteland as an optimizing agent, integrating it into the smelting process of void star gold and flowing shadow mithril to enhance internal structural strength and energy conductivity.

Concurrently, they attempted to integrate the Self-Repair Factor analyzed from the Verdant Source into the alloy.

After numerous failures, the first small batch of [active void star flow gold] was successfully trial-produced.

Tests showed that its overall performance was superior to pure void star gold, possessing excellent strength, energy conductivity, and preliminary self-repair capabilities.

Regarding Rune optimization, this was based on the understanding of energy flow gained during the research into the Law Roar Cannon.

The energy circulation paths of all preset Level 6 standard Magic Formations (such as the more powerful [Structural Stability Rune Array] and [High-Efficiency Energy Conduction Rune Group]) underwent systematic optimization, making their operation smoother and reducing internal consumption.

Concurrently, the [Level 6 Life Spiritual Body Magic Formation] was optimized and upgraded.

Using the Level 5 version as a base, new insights obtained from the Law Roar Cannon energy flow research were integrated, further optimizing the internal energy channels of the Magic Formation, allowing it to run more smoothly and increasing energy utilization efficiency.

This Magic Formation would be inscribed within the internal energy network of the entire integrated body, rather than localized nodes, ensuring the robot could move with the soft, coherent motion of a true life form.

Simultaneously, the research and development of the [Level 6 Intelligent Core] was completed with the assistance of spiritual pupil - source and Pupil Slaughter.

The new core algorithm was more refined, focused on the battlefield, and achieved a qualitative leap in reaction speed and processing capability compared to the Level 5 core.

Finally, all technological crystallization was integrated into one body:

The body was forged from [active void star flow gold], optimized Magic Formations were inscribed internally, and dual Type 1 energy cores and the new generation intelligent core were embedded.

Simultaneously, the upgraded weapons were connected.

When the first [level 6 basic intelligent robot] was activated, it rose smoothly, its movements natural and coordinated, its eyes flashing with calm, efficient light, perfectly executing various complex instructions.

Brian examined the final finalized data blueprint:

Project: level 6 basic intelligent robot

Classification: Multi-functional Standard Combat Unit, Legion Cornerstone

Sub-Unit 1: intelligent core

Core Magic Formation: Level 6 [Wisdom Core Rune Group] (A specialized combat version simplified from the Spirit Eye information processing architecture, incorporating massive amounts of real combat data).

Core Magic Formation: Level 6 [Data Storage and Processing Magic Formation].

Core Magic Formation: Level 6 [Underlying Authority and Security Lock].

Function: Responsible for the robot's intelligent computation, data storage, tactical decision-making, and security authority management; reaction speed and tactical execution ability far exceed Level 5.

Sub-Unit 2: Robot Body Unit

Core Magic Formation: Level 6 [Life Spiritual Body Magic Formation].

Core Magic Formation: Level 6 [Wide-Area Monitoring and Detection Magic Formation Integration System] (Integrates multiple detection modes, significantly increasing reconnaissance range and accuracy).

Core Magic Formation: Level 6 [Structural Stability and Self-Repair Rune Array] (Combined with active void star flow gold, provides powerful defense and slow self-repair capability).

Core Magic Formation: Level 6 [High-Efficiency Maneuver Rune Group] (Standard flight and short-range teleportation performance are fully enhanced).

Core Magic Formation: Level 6 [Adaptive Energy Shield Magic Formation].

Material: Main structure utilizes [active void star flow gold].

Function: Responsible for the robot's movement, environmental perception, self-monitoring, and basic protection.

Sub-Unit 3: energy core

Configuration: Level 6 Type 1 energy core x2.

Function: Provides lasting and efficient power, supporting all robot functions under high load operation. Within the Mage Tower's coverage area, it can be directly powered by the Mage Tower, or use core reserve energy when detached.

Sub-Unit 4: Weapon Expansion Unit

Weapon 1: Level 6 Standard Magic Rifle x 1 (Self-powered).

Power: 120,000 Magic Scale (Single Target).

Characteristics: High rate of fire, stable trajectory, possesses basic locking function.

Weapon 2: Level 6 Multi-function Magic Missile Launcher x2 (Self-powered, built-in spatial storage).

Ammunition Capacity: 2,000 missiles of various types in total.

Missile Types:

General Explosive Type: 200,000 Magic Scale, area damage.

Heavy Armor-Piercing Type: Extremely strong point penetration capability.

High-Efficiency Jamming Type: Wide-range magical interference and signal suppression.

“Master! We succeeded!”

Spirit Eye Xi reported excitedly, her face flushed with a sense of achievement:

“The Level 6 robot successfully achieved a perfect balance between cost and performance! Relying on the integrated spiritual body, high-efficiency Magic Formations, and specialized intelligence, its comprehensive combat power can now reach standard Level 6 fighting strength!

Furthermore, we obtained a lot of data during the experiment that can serve as a reference for the subsequent development of other robot models!”

“That's right! Spirit Eye is amazing! This is truly fantastic!” Brian looked at the agile prototype in the testing ground and smiled, rubbing Spirit Eye's little head.

“Hehe! It's all thanks to us working together!” Spirit Eye grinned widely from the praise!

With the first success achieved, Brian's thoughts turned toward the distant future.

“Alright, the first step is finally complete, Spirit Eye Xi. I have a new idea for the next stage.”

He said with profound eyes:

“Since we plan to develop a construct version of the Law Roar Cannon later, we must factor in beyond-visual-range capability! I intend to heavily modify the sky patroller! We need to strengthen its reconnaissance and positioning capabilities, allowing it to guide the entire legion to achieve beyond-visual-range strikes!”

Spirit Eye Xi showed an expression of agreement in her eyes and affirmed:

“Master, that's a great idea! The existing ring of judgment and final judgment already possess spatial attributes, making ultra-long-range attacks technically feasible. The core bottleneck truly lies in long-range locking and reconnaissance. This plan hits the nail on the head!”

She quickly entered analysis mode and added:

“I suggest adopting a ‘Lock-Command-Attack’ cooperative mode.”

“We can specifically design a Legion Command Model Robot.”

“For example, each ten-person squad could be assigned one command unit, responsible for tactical coordination within the squad and even globally.”

“We could even strengthen its intelligent core, granting it learning capabilities, allowing its command artistry to continuously evolve during war.”

Brian nodded in satisfaction: “Excellent! Good! Let's do it!”

A new, more strategically significant R&D blueprint was now clearly outlined in his mind.
