Renn knew Carl's mechanical level. Although he did not have an assessment witness from the Mechanics Association, his level was definitely higher than that of an ordinary "senior mechanic."
To be able to teach such a grandson, Renn also guessed that Master Tust must have a very high standard.
But there is no precise idea of how high it is.
Because, apart from tinkering with clockwork dolls, Renn had never seen the old man make any serious machinery.
Guess.
If Carl is on the third floor of mechanics (beginner, intermediate, and advanced), the old man should be as tall as seven or eight floors.
But now, Ren's eyes widened as he looked at the heavy mechanical armor in front of him.
He clearly realized that his judgment had been hasty,
The old man's technological level is not as high as a seven or eight-story building, but... as high as a twenty-story building.
Stand out from the crowd, stand out from the rest of the world!
... .
Karl said that he had designed a very powerful battle suit, and Renn was not too surprised.
When he first knew that the [PMⅥ Micro-Motion Pneumatic Hammer Improved Version] mechanical arm he found from the Pixis Storage Ring was made by this little mechanic, he guessed that Karl should have made a set of self-defense machinery for himself. equipment.
It can make a single-arm robotic arm, and naturally it can also make a full-body, heavily equipped external mechanical skeleton.
Ren returned to the tent and saw a "little steel raccoon" painted with brown paint from a distance, jumping up and down, happily breathing fire to burn the poisonous bees in the sky.
This combat suit is a bit like Iron Man's armor, with metal sheets covering the metal skeleton that should have been exposed. No matter the style or shape, it is not the same as the mainstream dark style of steampunk.
Moreover, it looks light and flexible, and there is no sense in Ren's impression that the wider the exoskeleton, the slower it will move.
It is not difficult to guess that this full-body mechanical armor must have used many more advanced technologies than those on the market.
But it’s this “little raccoon” look that’s a bit unattractive.
If we really want to make a comparison, the heavy combat uniforms circulating on the market are like "tractors" with exposed engines, and their luster is like stars, shining little by little;
But Carl's set is a QQ car covered with iron, as dazzling as the bright moon.
All in all, this is a set of mechanical armor that may become the focus of the battlefield.
What if... there is no "black technology" on the side that can overwhelm its brilliance.
The nearly ten-meter-tall steel monster beside Mr. Tust is like a demon descending from the sky, like the "sun" during the day, eclipsing all the stars and the bright moon!
This gave Ren, a time traveler, a very strong visual impact and shock.
He felt that the technology tree of this steampunk world was a little distorted by this old man.
... .
"This... is this a combat mecha driven by a steam boiler? A purely physical operating system?"
Renn felt that tonight was about to use up all the shock he would have for many years to come, and he said in shock: "How on earth was this thing designed?"
The last time he was so shocked was when he traveled to this world and saw the mechanical castle for the first time.
If he hadn't already understood enough about the level of steam machinery in this world, he would have even thought he saw a high-tech "Transformers" with a dark industrial style.
This is a steel giant with six arms.
There is a huge shield with a brown deer head pattern on the chest, a broad-bladed sword on the waist, and four black gold swords on the back. A sixteen-barreled revolver with an exaggerated caliber stood on his shoulder, and the bullet chain was connected to several black metal ammunition boxes at his feet.
Each arm is hung with a small artillery launcher like a grenade launcher, an alloy thorn, a pressurized air hammer, and a hydraulic booster device.
There are steel tracks on the feet and spring buffer devices that are hard to understand.
The helmet was uncovered and made in the shape of a deer's head. There are two large golden antlers on the top of the helmet, which are sharp and strong. They look like they are not just decorations, but like horns with actual combat effects.
No matter from which angle you look at it, this is a "big murder weapon" full of murderous aura and fierce power.
Even if it is lying quietly on the ground now, people can still feel its terrifying pressure like the devil of hell.
It was the first time that Ren actually felt real pressure and murderous intent from a dead object.
Of course, what was shocking was the individual steam boiler that was emitting white smoke.
This is a special model that has never been seen on the market because it has eight exhaust pipes!
Anyone with a little mechanical knowledge knows that a steam boiler generally has only one exhaust pipe per cylinder (not the number of engine cylinders). Especially for individual mini boilers, there is usually only one, or at most two.
I heard that the Royal Academy of Sciences in Oma has designed the most advanced military individual boiler with four cylinders and four exhaust pipes.
But that is already the ultimate, and no one has ever seen it.
But the combat mecha in front of me has eight independent pipe exhaust holes.
This means that this steam boiler has at least eight independent power cylinders!
This "battle mecha" is not fully covered with iron sheets, and many mechanical structures are exposed. The complex power transmission system connecting the steam boiler to the mechanical skeleton is even more dazzling.
However, just because he saw it, Renn found it incredibly exaggerated.
... .
"This... How far has the old man left the current mechanical technology in the world?!"
Moreover, what shocked Renn the most was not the eight-cylinder steam boiler, but its unique six-arm design!
There is no electronic control system in this world, it is purely physical control.
Although there is a micro steam boiler to provide additional power, its operating principle still relies on human hands and feet.
If you move your hand, the robotic arm will move; if you move your foot, the mechanical leg will move.
Therefore, the general heavy armor has two hands and two legs with the same structure as the human body.
It is equivalent to a metal skeleton drive shell, with people stuffed inside to operate it.
The steel giant in front of him had six exaggerated metal skeleton arms.
Obviously, this is what Tuster tailor-made for himself.
Because only he can operate eight octopus robotic arms at the same time!
... .
Even Ren, who had actually seen "Transformers" in his previous life, was almost speechless when he saw this black technology, let alone these natives who had never seen high technology.
Mechanical armor is very popular among mid- and low-level extraordinary people, but it has never caught the attention of top experts. It has slow reactions, insufficient flexibility, and a single attack method. Apart from its high armor defense, strong strength and ability to do hard work, it has almost no merits.
But this one in front of me is completely different.
Seeing this steel monster, the "Top Ten Legend" Bazel, who had lived for more than two hundred years and claimed to have seen everything, was also stunned and couldn't help but muttered: "What the hell is this thing?" Son?"
... .
Seeing the mechanical armor in front of them, the two of them walked over in stunned silence.
"Hey, Brother Ren, are you back?"
Carl, who was wearing a "little raccoon battle suit", saw Renne, took off the helmet of the battle suit, and revealed his bright white teeth in a smile.
He hadn't realized how serious the beast tide was, so he smiled happily and said, "What do you think of my battle suit? Isn't it awesome?"
Originally, Carl's battle suit could be said to be really powerful, if... there was no comparison with the huge monster behind him.
Renn nodded, "Awesome."
I want to praise a few more words, but I feel like I don’t have the words to express them.
Because that six-armed mecha is too dazzling!
... ..
Renn walked over and sat next to Tust.
The beast tide army hasn't attacked yet, so we can still relax for a while.
The old man asked with a normal expression: "Has the city wall been breached? I heard a loud noise..."
His calm and indifferent attitude was incompatible with the solemn atmosphere of the camp where guns and guns were roaring.
If it weren't for that ferocious mecha that was just beginning to show, he would probably be just an ordinary old man who had given up hope of survival.
But obviously, this kind of calmness is not despair, but a kind of calmness.
It's like the calmness of a peerless master.
When this old man, who was never showy, took out his trump card, Ren knew that the development of today's matter was different from what he thought.
This old man who has been silent for thirty years is probably going to surprise people today.
Ren sat down and suddenly forgot what he was going to do when he came back.
"Boy Ren, I've caused you trouble during this period..."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Tust spoke first.
He said in a rather emotional tone: "Today, my old bones can finally be put to some use..."
Apart from a gentle smile, there was no unnecessary panic or confusion on this old face.
He looked at Ren with a kind elder's eyes and said, "Don't worry too much. Just follow me in a moment, and I will take you and Carl out of here alive..."
Listening to the old man's tone, Renn raised his eyes and glanced at him in surprise.
Is this comforting me
Suddenly, he remembered the purpose of his return.
I brought Bazel here just to support Tust and his grandson, and then see if there is a chance for everyone to survive the beast tide together.
But now, this old man actually waved his hand and shot away his lines
Moreover, the old man is so sure about something that Bazel is not sure about
... .
The rescuer becomes the rescued party, which is very dramatic.
Before Renn could react from his daze, the old man had already begun to make arrangements for the follow-up.
"But wait, now is not the best time to break out."
Tust explained: "Now the beast tide is rushing into the base, but the high-level monsters are mainly concentrated in the three mechanical cities. When the mechanical cities are breached, the battle will be the most intense. At that time, we will prepare Break out. It's safer to stay in the camp now than to rush into the wilderness... "
Tust's plan was exactly the same as Bazzel's.
He keenly judged the current situation and made the most rational judgment.
"ah?"
Ren was stunned again when he heard this.
Old man, you have finished speaking, what should I say
"Don't look at me with that strange look... Although the old man's body is disabled, his senses are still there."
Tust smiled, thinking that Ren was surprised by his control of the situation, and added: "Back then... I was also a mechanic [ammunition expert] who broke through three genetic locks, with dual specialties of perception and brain development. Growth. This movement in the camp can still be felt... "
Ren's expression looked a little strange.
The magic potion sequence developed in the brain is weak in physical combat, just like his teacher Ilubek.
Come to think of it, Tust's confidence can only come from the battle mecha behind him.
... ..
After saying this, Ren seemed to remember something, pointed at the six-armed mecha, and asked: "Grandpa Tust, you... is this the mechanical armor you made?"
"yes"
Tust's eyes sparkled when he said this.
He looked at this giant steel beast and felt a little sad, "It has been more than thirty years, and I thought I would never have the chance to use it in this life..."
As if he had returned to the high-spirited youth thirty years ago, Tusi's eyes suddenly became aggressive.
"Haha... That's fine."
His eyes were blazing, and he said with a faint smile: "Before I die, let those self-righteous guys from the Omar Royal Academy of Sciences see where the pinnacle skills in the mechanical field are!"
This remark made no secret of his contempt for the Royal Academy of Omar.
Domineering, no doubt about it!
I am the "ceiling" of mechanics in this era!
... .
At this time, the sound of gunfire was getting closer and closer.
The raging beast tide is approaching.
"Okay, kid Ren, it's time for me to move around. There is an alloy shelter in the tent. If you feel dangerous, just hide..."
Tust didn't say much. The robotic arm helped him quickly board the nearly ten-meter-high armored control room.
Then only a series of crisp mechanical sounds of "click" and "click" were heard, and the eight octopus mechanical arms were completely embedded in the operating slot of the deer-headed mecha.
After the combination, the aura of the old man grew higher and higher, making Ren seem to see the slowly rising red sun, becoming more and more dazzling and unable to be looked directly at.
"Everyone says that mechanics are a group of auxiliary extraordinary beings who are obsessed with the study of foreign objects and have weak physical combat power. They will never reach the heights of the 'Top Ten Legends'. But I never thought that was the case..."
These words seemed to be spoken to oneself, but more like they were telling the world something.
The moment he put on his helmet, the old man's eyes suddenly shone with a gleam that looked at the world.
"Today, I, Tuste Fuentes, will clear the name of the mechanic..."
He looked solemn and groaned softly.
"I... am the Mechanical Legend!"
