Armed Dolls
"Dr. Einstein, is this the Armed Doll you were talking about?" A researcher examined the miniature doll in front of him and looked at the researcher next to him with blue hair but some red highlights in the middle.
"That's right. Originally, when this weapon was designed, the idea was to provide more assistance to the warriors in their fight against the Honkai. Moreover, compared to the cumbersome Titans, the Armed Doll can be adapted to more varied terrain and combat environments." Einstein said expressionlessly, "However... the complete manufacturing process of the Armed Doll has only just taken shape with me, Fusion Warrior Project has already been proposed."
Compared to programmed Armed Doll, Fusion Warrior are far more effective in more complex combat situations. In addition, each of the currently registered Fusion Warrior can handle a small-scale Honkai outbreak on its own, making Armed Doll seem somewhat weak in comparison.
However, given the extremely low success rate of the Fusion Warrior surgery to date, and considering the time and materials required to create Armed Doll, the Fusion Warrior Project is not as good as the Armed Doll.
Moreover, Armed Doll can be used for a variety of purposes, not just combat. For example, after the Tenth Law, Mobius used Einstein's technology to create a Klein doll on his own, and then began the 24-hour unpaid overtime system for the doll Klein...
In the previous life, the low success rate of the Fusion Warrior Project led to its temporary closure. Mu Continent then shifted its research focus to the Armed Doll Project. Before the Ninth Law incident, Mu Continent had already completed a complete industrial system capable of mass-producing Armed Doll. However, due to the Ninth Law's desperate counterattack, Mu Continent collapsed, and many industrial systems, including the Armed Doll, completely collapsed. This further led to the fact that during the War of Finality, despite knowing that the Moonlight Throne Finality, the collapse of the industrial system meant that only a limited number of Moonlight Throne could be produced.
After the destruction of the Mu Continent, the Fire Moth did consider rebuilding the industrial system, including the Armed Doll. However, the global situation of Honkai at the time was not optimistic. In addition, the existence of the Rebel Army and the dormant Tenth Law made the reconstruction of the industrial system extremely difficult. Furthermore, due to the selection effect of the Tenth Divine Key after the Tenth Law event, Fusion Warrior could be officially mass-produced, and the industrial system of Armed Doll was completely abandoned.
The main problem is the increasingly difficult Honkai challenges. The Armed Doll have long been outdated. If the industrial base of the Mu Continent still existed, the Armed Doll could indeed play a role in various places. But unfortunately, what sank with the Mu Continent was not only the industrial base of Armed Doll, but also all the Armed Doll troops produced by the Mu Continent at that time.
If the industrial base can't be rebuilt, why waste time on such a wasteful and unprofitable business?
This also reflects some of the world's drawbacks. Cutting-edge technology is concentrated in the Mu Continent, with the most advanced production methods and the most complete industrial system. All of this makes the Mu Continent worthy of being called the center of the world. Then, this center is gone, but its industrial system and production methods remain unique...
Destroying all the other continents is not as good as destroying only the Mu Continent.
This is why many of the Fire Moth at the time, mainly researchers including Rovoc, unanimously believed that humanity had been defeated and that no matter how much time they had left, they were just waiting to die. Although, in hindsight, they were right. Among these people was May, who had been thinking about humanity's way out and the struggle for the next dawn since that time.
Influenced by Rovoc and his group, the warriors also felt somewhat disheartened. Although they may not have thought as much as the researchers, the reality before them was that Mu Continent, which had the strongest armed forces on Earth, had been sunk by the self-destruction of the Ninth Law.
With the collapse of the industrial system, humanity also faces a major survival problem with shortages of food and other resources. The incitement of the Tenth Law has left no room for negotiation between the Rebel Army and the Fire Moth.
Originally, the Tenth Law individual Laguar was lying dormant among the upper echelons of the Fire Moth, thought that even if he failed, as long as Zhu Yufeng, who was suppressing the Rebel Army, accepted the Rebel Army's surrender, it would sow the seeds of a huge hidden danger for the future security of humanity. The Tenth Law incident had already caused the trust between people to crumble, and there were even more conflicts between the Rebel Army and ordinary civilians who believed in the Fire Moth. Time also did not allow the Fire Moth gradually stabilize people's hearts.
Moreover, the most important reason is that the severe shortage of resources and the oppressive and gloomy life will inevitably lead to social unrest.
However, what Laguar never expected was that Zhu Yufeng would actually dare to leave no one alive in the Rebel Army. After all, no matter how indifferent Zhu Yufeng appeared at the time, he was still brought up by Elysia. In addition, the number of the Rebel Army was not small, and many of the non-combatants were deceived by the information gap and manipulated by the Tenth Law.
Anyone else would have done something so extreme.
After all, she could never have imagined that someone was not from this world at all, and did not care about the fate of other people in this world. She also could not have imagined that none of the other ten Fallen Angel would think this was inappropriate and raise any objections. Even Zhu Yufeng hesitated at first, but was persuaded by Lilith before making up his mind...
But she really had no other choice, because Mei had to die. It was already very difficult to transfer Kevin away in a short time, and the Fallen Angel Squad was no less powerful than Kevin. In order to achieve the goal of killing Mei, the Fallen Angel Squad also had to be transferred away. The only reason for transferring them was to let them suppress the Rebel Army. Laguar really had no choice.
She had originally planned to reveal the truth about the Fallen Angel Squad' suppression of the Rebel Army, regardless of whether the assassination of May succeeded or not. However, May saw through her plan, and her backup plan was dealt with by Vill-V. In the end, not a word of it leaked out.
Even Elysia only had a vague understanding but didn't know the details. It wasn't until later, when Zhu Yufeng himself confessed, that Elysia didn't know either.
Kevin knew the truth but chose to remain silent. Su deduced the course of events through the observations of the Thousand Worlds and then confronted Mei to find out. Because the events had already occurred, and Su, after synthesizing many observations, understood that it was the best choice under the circumstances, he also chose to remain silent.
Regarding this matter, besides Kevin, Sue, and Zhu Yufeng, the only other people in the Fire Moths who knew about it were Vill-V and Mobius. Each Fire Moths had their own secrets, and there were varying degrees of estrangement between them. This was one of the reasons why Mobius initially scoffed at the establishment of the Flame-Chasers system.
As for the issue of the Rebel Army's reuse of certain resources, on the one hand, the industrial system has collapsed. Without this industrial chain, there is no time or resources to create a production system. Artificial production is absolutely impossible to hide. On the other hand, this is a kind of mental torture for those in the know, especially if they are high-ranking leaders who are leading humanity in the fight against the Honkai.
In this phase, because Lionel wielded considerable influence within the military and strongly promoted the Fusion Warrior Project, the success rate of the Fusion Warrior Project was not as low as in the previous phase. Therefore, the Mu Continent was still willing to allocate resources towards the Fusion Warrior Project, while the Armed Doll Project in Einstein was slightly lagging behind.
However, no matter how hard Lionel pushed for the Fusion Warrior Project, its success rate remained low before the appearance of the Tenth Herrscher. In addition, the Eighth Herrscher Incident also had some impact. Therefore, the Mu Continent eventually turned its attention to the Armed Doll Project, which Einstein had already developed.
Currently, researchers at the Mu Continent Palace are conducting a detailed evaluation of the various performance characteristics of the Armed Doll, and will subsequently discuss the feasibility of large-scale production and the potential benefits.
The Eighth Herrscher's power is a simulated weapon. In order to retrieve the contaminated information, both the Fire Moth Mu Continent had to resort to manual retrieval, risking attacks from the Eighth Herrscher. If Armed Doll were produced, they would be far more useful than manual retrieval in similar situations.
"After all, Kevin and Maple were the first two Fusion Warriors to shine in the Seventh Herrscher Incident." The researcher in charge of the evaluation thought that Einstein was dissatisfied with the Fusion Warrior Project because it had sidelined her project, so she tried to explain, "Our Lord Lionel, the Fire Moth, here, I don't know what's gotten into him, but he insists on pushing forward with the Fusion Warrior Project."
"Lionel and the Fusion Warrior Project are not wrong. In fact, in the future, their role will be even greater than that of the Armed Doll," Einstein glanced at him and said calmly.
She agreed with Lionel's idea. Faced with a crisis threatening the survival of humanity, as a scientist, her rationality told her that she could not let a plan exclude her own experimental results and act on emotion. She knew that the upper limit of the Armed Doll was there, and whether the Fusion Warrior could reach the future was still unknown, but their upper limit was definitely higher than that of the Armed Doll.
After all, the Herrscher are getting stronger and stronger, and the frequency and level of Honkai are also increasing. If this continues, perhaps one day, even the Mu Continent will no longer be able to hide the existence of Honkai from all of humanity.
The advantage of the Armed Doll lies in handling daily affairs and the increasingly frequent small-scale Honkai. However, when facing Herrscher -level combat power, it is still necessary to send out the Fusion Warrior.
"By the way, the earliest Fusion Warrior should be Xila," Einstein added.
The researcher awkwardly adjusted his glasses and didn't say anything more. Besides currently evaluating the Armed Doll project, Mu Continent's research also focused on the Divine Key Project. The Divine Key already created and those under development are: Kevin's Seventh Divine Key, Heavenly Fire Judgment; Zhu Yufeng's Sixth Divine Key, Black Abyss White Flower; Sakura's Third Divine Key, Seven Thunders of Purification, still in the research and development stage; the Fifth Divine Key, the Withering of All Things, nearing completion; the Second Divine Key: Thousand Worlds of Chariots, which was originally supposed to be a weapon but was turned into a gas satellite by Vill-V; and the Fourth Divine Key, Wind of Purification.
The Wind of Purification can modify the ecological environment, allowing areas Honkai by the Honkai to recover to a certain extent. The longer the recovery time, the better the recovery effect. Therefore, although the higher-ups were disappointed and dissatisfied with not using the Herrscher Core the Fourth Herrscher to create a lethal weapon, the Wind of Purification did indeed play a role in the reconstruction of human civilization, so they could only accept it reluctantly.
So Wind of Purification is currently working over Australia, attempting to gradually restore Australia environment that was destroyed by the Seventh Herrscher.
And afterwards, Vill-V's sole production rights to the Divine Key were revoked.
Of all the Herrscher Core, only the First Herrscher Core still lacks a detailed design direction. This is because the First Herrscher's ability to construct the Herrscher of Reason is somewhat abstract compared to other Herrscher, whose destruction can be more intuitively perceived. Furthermore, many research projects require Herrscher Core, and the research value of creating Divine Key Herrscher Core is not that great. Therefore, the First Herrscher Core has been preserved, and the creation of the First Divine Key is not currently being considered.
"Xila... that notorious assassin before becoming Fusion Warrior. Mobius is really audacious to let an assassin who almost killed her work for her, and even let Xila gain such powerful abilities." The researcher said somewhat speechlessly, "Okay, let me think. The first Fusion Warrior was Xila, and the strongest Fusion Warrior currently... Kevin wielding the Heavenfire and Maple wielding the Black Abyss White Flower... The files mark Maple's abilities as top secret, so Maple should be stronger... The youngest Fusion Warrior after Mebius, I remember, played a key role in the Eighth Herrscher Incident, Seele..."
Einstein glanced at the latest message he had received and then said, "The youngest Fusion Warrior now isn't Seele anymore, it's Astaroth, the sister that Maple adopted."
"Huh?! Feng's younger sister? If I remember correctly, she's only twelve or thirteen, right?" The researcher clicked his tongue in surprise. "Such a young age... how could Feng be interested in this..."
"That's her only way to survive." Einstein continued reading the information. "She was the main victim in the Eighth Herrscher Incident, and was the most severely Corrosion by the Honkai. Becoming Fusion Warrior is the only way to solve this problem once and for all."
"This is truly a gamble... So what is her ability?"
"It's unknown for now; the surgery was just completed. However, the Honkai Beast she fused with is the Emperor-class Honkai Beast Mitra, so she should be a mental Fusion Warrior," Einstein said.
