Chapter 189: Weapons and Tools
Just as Sid Weier was prepared to offer a death remonstrance to this good-for-nothing master who gave blind commands, so that she would retract her decision, before she could even speak, she saw the master turn her head to look at her.
"Do you know what these Titan Soldiers are used for?"
Dorothy asked.
"Of course, they are used as war machines. They are so precise and powerful; they must have been born for the battlefield."
Miss Moon Rabbit swallowed the remonstrance that had reached her lips and answered thus.
The Moon Rabbit clan has always been known for their magitech; the fighting style of their armed force, the Moon Knights, is often a combination of martial arts and magitech. A set of mana combat armor, a mana light sword, and a mana firearm—this is the standard equipment for Moon Knights.
Moon Knights are very good at fighting with the help of this magitech, and they are famous among all races for their superb gun-fighting techniques.
It's just that such power was enough for self-preservation in the past, but if they wanted to expand into a new world, it seemed somewhat lacking in offensive capability.
To this end, the Moon Priests have been developing some giant war weapons over the years.
Among them, the giant humanoid mana-constructed mecha is a very important project. Although, in terms of actual combat, making war equipment into a humanoid shape is not a good idea; tanks or beast-types are actually more practical.
But tanks cannot bring out the martial arts of the Moon Knights. In order to apply martial arts to those giant war machines, there was a very high requirement for the agility of the war machines.
The Moon Priests unanimously agreed that the most suitable war weapon for Moon Knights is a giant humanoid mechanical armor with agility comparable to a Moon Rabbit's body.
Well, if possible, that armor would ideally be able to switch between tank form and humanoid form.
It's just a pity that the Moon Priests' development of such transforming humanoid mechanical armor has only remained at the draft stage. Their existing technology cannot achieve the agility of a human body for that bulky giant mechanical armor, and even if the agility bottleneck were overcome, they couldn't build a control system that could utilize this flexibility.
But Sid Weier never expected that this trip to the Witch Realm would have an unexpected harvest. She discovered these Titan Soldiers in the specialty shop in the Golden Township, and these Titan Soldiers perfectly met all the requirements of the giant transforming mechanical armor they had envisioned.
They have incredibly hard defense and immense power matching their size.
They can freely switch between humanoid form and various all-terrain tank forms.
They support mental intent control, allowing the machine's movements to be perfectly synchronized with the pilot.
The most important point is that they are incredibly flexible, even more agile than a human body; they can easily perform movements that a human body cannot.
This is simply equipment tailored for Moon Knights.
Although she didn't know why these Titan Soldiers with incredibly complex structures were not equipped with mana weapons matching their performance, but were only equipped with some retro swords and blades that were just for show, this wasn't a big problem. The Moon Rabbits are very good at manufacturing various mana guns and cannons; they could completely equip these Titan Soldiers with mana magnetic storm ship-cutting blades or mana blast guns themselves.
If possible, Sid Weier really didn't want to cancel this order; she truly loved these Titan Soldiers deeply.
"Cough, cough, then you really misunderstood. These Titan Soldiers are actually engineering machinery. Although they can indeed be used as war mecha, their original design intent was actually for civil engineering."
Seeing that this Miss Moon Rabbit had been completely fooled and misunderstood the purpose of these Titan Soldiers, Dorothy had to explain somewhat awkwardly.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible. My King, I am a professional in terms of combat; a warrior cannot fail to distinguish between a weapon and a tool."
Regarding the words of this good-for-nothing master, Sid Weier looked completely disbelieving.
"Look, they are so hard and possess such powerful strength; isn't this to better protect oneself and destroy enemies on the battlefield?"
She pointed at those Titan Soldiers and said.
"Cough, cough, the hardness is because construction site safety has been checked quite strictly in the last two years, and even construction safety helmets have to have a six-ring protective spell. This type of giant engineering equipment has even stricter requirements, which is why a nine-ring barrier spell was added, so that even if an entire mountain were to smash onto it, it wouldn't endanger the pilot's life safety."
Dorothy scratched her head and explained patiently.
"As for the strength, this is engineering machinery after all, and it needs to transport various building materials. It won't work without strength. For this reason, nine layers of Giant Dragon Strength and Giant Elephant Strength were set in the arm structure, allowing its maximum output to reach nine layers of Dragon-Elephant Strength."
"Uh..."
Miss Moon Rabbit felt it made some sense at first glance, but she immediately refused to believe it.
"Then what about this transformation ability? And there are various tanks for land, water, and air. Isn't this to adapt to the various complex terrains on the battlefield?"
"Cough, cough, the terrain of the battlefield is actually just like that. You haven't been to a construction site; the terrain of those tricky construction sites is truly complex. Have you ever built a railway on the top of a snowy mountain or built a tunnel under the deep sea?"
"In order to better transport building materials to those dangerous environments, there is a high requirement for the environmental adaptability of engineering vehicles, which is why templates for all types of transport vehicles were made."
Dorothy explained patiently again.
"Then why install a high-precision mental control system on engineering equipment? This is a very high-end thing, right? It's obviously military technology, isn't it?"
Sid Weier still refused to accept reality.
"This is indeed military technology, but it's no longer advanced enough. It was just approved for civilian use recently. The design positioning of this Titan Soldier is for high-end luxury mansion construction. You have to know that those rich people always have very high requirements for the details of luxury mansions, so in order to perform fine micro-manipulation and carve various artistic murals and such, this mental control system was installed."
"Similarly, the structure of this Titan Soldier, which is more precise and agile than a human body, is also to facilitate fine work by old architects, ensuring that they can exert their best craftsmanship to the maximum extent, guaranteeing that the final architectural product is a work of art with a soul, rather than a modern industrial creation. You don't know how troublesome the requirements of those Soul-Eater soul-partisans are; they demand everything be purely handmade."
The Home Witch also grumbled. The more she studied architecture with Master Spider recently, the more she discovered that no matter which world it is, the requirements of those annoying clients are always just as numerous.
Sid Weier: "......."
Rebutted by this good-for-nothing master, Miss Moon Rabbit fell into silence. She looked at these tall and mighty giant humanoid machines in the lobby, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"Then the last question, why do you know these Titan Soldiers so well, my King?"
She asked in a gloomy tone.
"Because these were built by my master."
Seeing that Miss Moon Rabbit still asked about this, Dorothy shrugged and didn't lie.
"Oh, speaking of which, I haven't introduced myself yet. I, Dorothy, am a freshman in the Automated Mechanical Civil Engineering major at Brewster Academy, an ordinary little witch who is working hard with the goal of becoming a real estate tycoon in the Witch Realm."
"So, since Sid Weier, you have chosen to follow me, let's go to the construction site to move ash together. There's really no need to return these Titan Soldiers; they will definitely be very useful in your future work."
