Chapter 176 Questioning Understanding Becomes
Squeak! Squeak!
In the cave deep underground, the mouse that drank blood began to twitch all over, the black and gray hair clinging to its body fell off, and it transformed into some weird form.
The sharp horns with the characteristics of the abyss demon drilled out of the mouse's skull, causing it to transform into an unknown monster form.
Poof!
The leader of the gray rat stabbed the demon-turned-rat to death with his knife in his hand, and threw it into a pool of red blood.
It separates a drop of blood from the Holy Grail and pours it into the mouth of the next rat that is waiting for food, waiting for the change that occurs in the rat.
According to experience, it takes a total of 6 days to use the "Holy Communion" ceremony to completely transform the rats in the world of Koro into rat-men.
And during the transformation process, these newborn ratmen will eat a lot of food.
And like the previous mouse that failed to transform, it mutated into demonic characteristics not long after taking the blood, which meant that the transformation ritual failed.
Using the devil's blood pool technology to transform ratmen will cause various problems.
The leader of the gray rat cursed the devil's evil intentions in his heart, while carving the "guidance" rune on this rat with stable physical characteristics, and then motioned for the next rat to come forward.
Although the efficiency of this kind of operation is somewhat low, it is better than safety.
The method of high-efficiency transformation should have been to throw these rats into a pool of blood and let the power from the abyss transform them.
But this also means that a large group of uncontrolled rat demons will be born in the blood pool.
For his own safety, the cunning Rat Man, after experiencing several chaos, will naturally not continue to do so.
"Zhi, patriarch!
We have developed the tools you want! ”
The rat engineer warlock in a robe pushed a cart that looked like a blood transfusion stand to the altar.
An infusion tube made from the intestines of a small animal, connected to a glass blood bottle hanging from a blood transfusion stand and a needle at the end.
The engineering warlock of the gray rat tribe took out the blood transfusion cart, a device like a submersible pump, and threw it into the blood pool at the edge of the altar.
After some fiddling, the air in the blood transfusion device was discharged, and the blood in the blood pool seemed to be alive, crawling along the infusion tube into the blood bottle and dripping toward the bottom of the bottle.
Next to the blood transfusion stand, there is a soldering iron with a flat bottom handle hanging.
As the leader of the gray rat took it out, turned the handle, and opened the power circuit, the imprint of the "guidance" rune burned red by the flame crystal stone lit up with dazzling light in the dark underground.
Ye Xing followed the noise coming from the nearby cave entrance, and along the way he saw transformed rats that were practicing standing on two feet and trying to communicate and learn with the rat people in the "Holy Tree" world.
These ratmen transformed from local rats are generally thin and thin. Although they have some intelligence, overall they are more like those stunted slave rats.
Ye Xing amplified his perception and carefully explored the number of these transformed rat people. There were 80,000 to 90,000, which was almost three times the number of rat people in the "Holy Tree" world.
How do they solve the food problem?
Doubts arose in Ye Xing's heart, and he soon perceived the scene of slave rats devouring their injured and sick peers due to excessive hunger while working.
"These transformed rat-men look more animalistic."
Ye Xing sighed lightly and headed to the central city of the Ratman Base.
The tall and magnificent lighthouse of time stands in the dark underground space.
The lighthouse wrapped with gorgeous time ribbons dyes the dark stones of the underground world with magnificent colors.
Such an incredible sight was like a miracle in the eyes of those transformed ratmen.
The rat overseer who saw the lighthouse of time appeared fell into a state of ecstasy and happiness, "A miracle!
This is the miracle of God the Father! He approves our work! ”
The transformed rat-men looked at the rat-men in the "Holy Tree" world, showing such a fanatical attitude, and chose to believe in the existence of the "Father God" they had spoken of, without any reason.
Ye Xing looked at the rapidly growing power of faith on his personal dashboard and felt that it was very necessary to improve the conversion efficiency of the "Holy Communion" ceremony.
In the ruins of the dwarf fortress on the surface, the rat engineer warlocks used the roots of the city wall as a target to test their optimized and adjusted large-scale killer weapon "ratlin".
Due to the disappearance of the "King's Gate", the steel puppet manufacturing plan of the rat engineer warlocks went bankrupt.
In order to protect their own safety, improve the combat effectiveness of the rat soldiers responsible for guarding them.
These engineering warlocks studied the alchemy achievements invented by the dwarves of the world of Koro in the past three hundred thousand years.
By dismantling a large number of machine guns, artillery and other weapons made by the dwarves, the Rat Man, who is obsessed with mechanical engineering, reverse-engineered the design drawings of these firearms and created a complete production line in the underground world.
At first, the rat people looked down upon the steam, fuel and other power supplies used by the dwarves because they had more convenient and simple crystallized stone technology.
Under their transformation and optimization, the "Ratlin" powered by crystal stones not only has a faster rate of fire, more ammunition, more power, and can even be carried by a single soldier.
However, with the closure of the space-time channel, the Ratmen, who lost the supply channel of crystal stones, were forced to study steam and fuel power, which they disdained, as the crystal stones were depleted due to daily use.
Fortunately, with the foundation of technology in the real world, these rat engineer warlocks were also able to draw parallels and figure out their own miniaturization technology from the energy technology of the dwarves.
The energy technology and weaponry manufacturing of the dwarves, in order to achieve the purpose of confronting the giants, highlight a powerful brick.
Steel puppets whose size and strength are similar to those of giants, large-caliber artillery, and city wall fortresses nearly a hundred meters high all reflect the dwarves' desire for strength and security.
The rat people who have stayed in the world of Koro for a year have a survival situation that is opposite to that of the dwarves.
In order to survive, the Skaven must act in a low-key and secretive manner, so that they cannot be noticed by dwarves or other creatures.
Around the Bloody Wilderness and Dwarf Fortress, all kinds of resources are extremely scarce.
Even though there were once rich mineral resources, oil, coal, water resources, etc. in the branches of the Steel Rock Mountains, they were all consumed in the protracted war.
Therefore, the research direction of the Ratman has become more refined and miniaturized. From the beginning, it was a mixture of crystal stone energy supply and steam energy supply, and now it is a complete steam energy supply.
From the very beginning of questioning dwarves, understanding dwarves, becoming dwarves, and now transcending dwarves, these rat engineer warlocks have truly experienced a complex psychological transformation.
The leader of the engineering warlocks who presided over this test sighed melancholy after inspecting the densely packed bullet holes shot by the "Rat Lin" on the city wall.
The test of the new weapon was successful, but it felt that the "Rat Lin" machine gun still had great room for improvement.
If the "Rat Lin" shoots crystal stones instead of iron pellets, blowing up the roots of the city wall will not be a problem at all.
The "King's Gate" that disappeared and appeared suddenly appeared above the dwarf fortress.
The space-time channel opened, and the giants strode out.
Behind them, a rat giant appeared carrying a crystal stone on his back.
The depressed team of engineering warlocks burst into enthusiastic screams.
