Chapter 688 Technology and Magic Combined
Blue Star, Arctic Wormhole Frontline.
The unmanned legion continues to enter the space wormhole.
Third-order robots, unmanned combat vehicles, aircraft, and engineering machinery were swallowed up one after another by the steel torrent into that distorted black-purple light curtain, and then emerged from the Kona satellite three thousand light-years away.
Around the wormhole, warning lights spun continuously, their red glow blinding.
Lin Mo stood not far from the wormhole, hung up the communication with Han Niba, and turned to look at the two elven elders beside him.
The two had already donned the new generation of combat suits designed for survival in alien environments in Great Xia.
Although it's called a combat suit, it's actually more like a light mecha.
It is not as tall and heavy as Pangu, but is closer to close-fitting protective armor.
The joints are covered with silver-white alloy, and a life support module is attached to the back. The helmet is a fully enclosed structure and looks like an upgraded motorcycle helmet.
From a distance, it does indeed have a bit of a sci-fi Iron Man vibe.
The problem is that both elven elders are holding magic wands.
An alloy exoskeleton paired with an ancient staff—technology and magic are forcibly juxtaposed. The art style isn't exactly mismatched, but it's certainly very abstract.
One of the earth-elemental elders flexed his fingers, and a faint mechanical sound immediately emanated from his alloy gloves.
He looked down at his armored hands, then at the staff in his palm, his pale blue eyes filled with undisguised curiosity.
"This creation is truly incredible, but I wonder how it compares to the dwarven armor sets."
The wood-element elder beside him appeared much calmer.
His beard was tucked inside his helmet, and his voice came through the translation module, carrying a touch of the elegance and caution typical of the elves.
"Lord Lin Mo, I must reiterate that we are only responsible for securing our position, not for engaging in direct combat with an eighth-tier demon god."
Lin Mo smiled.
"Rest assured, elders, I, Lin Mo, am not that kind of person. What benefit would we gain from sending you to your deaths?"
The earth-elemental elder nodded and glanced at him.
"Promise to supply my race with the power reactor, don't forget."
"I can't forget it," Lin Mo said with a slight smile.
"The reactor specifically designed to power the World Tree has already been encapsulated by the Academy of Sciences."
"Once this operation is over, hand it over to the elves immediately."
The World Tree is of great significance to the Elven race, and the highly stable energy provided by the Great Xia will allow the Elven homeland to no longer be restricted by the location of energy crystal mines.
To put it bluntly, the Elven race used to have to rely on mineral veins to build their homes.
Now, Da Xia is directly presenting them with an energy solution, which is tantamount to telling them that technology can indeed change their destiny.
That is why the two elders were willing to risk crossing the wormhole and heading to a completely unfamiliar alien battlefield.
Of course, they didn't agree at first.
The environment on Kona Satellite is harsh; breathable air is almost nonexistent, radiation is chaotic, and demons are swarming around it.
Even the Great Xia itself dared not send living warriors there, only allowing unmanned legions to land, which was enough to illustrate the level of danger.
Later, Lin Mo gave three guarantees.
First, the two elders wore specially made protective armor throughout the entire process, which solved the problem of survival.
Secondly, they only cast spells near the wormhole and can return to Earth at any time after completing their mission.
Third, Lin Mo personally accompanied him.
This finally made the two elven elders nod in agreement.
Lin Mo's importance to the Great Xia is obvious. With Lin Mo by their side, at least there is no need to worry that the Great Xia will abandon them and leave the two elders to die on an alien planet.
Lin Mo turned around and boarded his Pangu mecha.
The six-meter-tall steel giant knelt on one knee, and the cockpit opened.
Lin Mo entered the cabin, put on his helmet, and the neural connection system quickly connected.
The next second, the machine's status indicators lit up in green one by one.
Welcome, Master.
[System self-check complete; operation can begin.]
Lin Mo said through the communication channel:
"Elders, stay close to me."
The wood-elemental elder gripped his staff and nodded gently.
"Let's go, may the goddess of nature bless us."
The earth-elemental elder made a comment:
"That's right, hopefully your explosives won't end up on our heads."
Lin Mo's lips twitched.
The next second, he piloted the Pangu mech into the steel torrent, leading the two elven elders into the unmanned legion, and rushed into the spatial wormhole.
After passing through the wormhole corridor and experiencing weightlessness, blinding flames suddenly burst into view.
Stepping out of the wormhole, the planet's gravity descended, and they arrived at the satellite Kona.
As soon as Lin Mo stepped out of the wormhole, feeling the gravity, which was slightly heavier than that of the moon, he noticed that the entire Pangu mech was trembling slightly.
That was caused by the shockwaves and vibrations from various explosions.
In the distance, the nuclear fire was still rising.
The gray wasteland was blasted into one molten crater after another, and countless demon corpses piled up on the outskirts of the position, repeatedly crushed by tracks and mechanical feet.
In the sky, swarms of drones, like a silver-gray storm, were locked in a fierce battle with the Winged Demons and gargoyles.
On the ground in the distance, countless robots were fighting, unmanned vehicles spewing fire from their cannons, and missiles were launched into the sky, exploding into blinding white light deep within the demonic tide.
This is the alien battlefield opened up by the Great Xia Dynasty!
Even though Lin Mo had seen too many big scenes, he couldn't help but hold his breath at this moment.
The two elven elders were completely shocked, their mouths slightly agape.
The Wood Elder said softly:
"It's unbelievable..."
Lin Mo quickly regained his composure.
Because the ground beneath our feet suddenly trembled violently.
Rumble!
On the east side of the position, a crack suddenly appeared, and dozens of Tier 3 robots lost their balance and fell over one after another.
Just as several unmanned combat vehicles and tanks nearby were about to adjust their gun barrels, the ground suddenly bulged up again, lifting half of their vehicles off the ground.
The rubble struck the Pangu mech's armor, making a clanging and clattering sound.
"We can't let them get out!"
Lin Mo immediately shouted into the communication:
"Elders, begin the operation!"
Upon hearing this, the earth-elemental elder immediately raised his staff, and a bright, earthy-yellow light suddenly shone from the tip of the staff.
Ancient, deep elven incantations poured from his mouth, chanting continuously.
The magic flowed out of his body and then surged into the ground through his staff.
The next moment, the gray-white rock layers within a radius of several kilometers centered on the wormhole exit began to tremble simultaneously.
The originally loose and cracked soil and rocks were as if they were being tightly gripped by an invisible giant hand, and quickly became hard, thick, and dense.
The rising seismic sources slowed down instantly.
Lin Mo breathed a slight sigh of relief as he looked at the red trajectory on the geological monitoring map, which had clearly slowed down.
efficient!
Daxia Technology is responsible for bombing the enemy until they doubt the existence of demons, while Elf Magic is responsible for making up for the shortcomings that technology cannot currently address.
One controls the output, and the other controls the field.
The combination of technology and magic has a bit of a "version of the answer" feel to it.
