Anime, starting from Re:Zero (Zero - Starting Life)

"I plan to make the puppet's weapon system, energy system, and other things into unified modular components so they can be reused and used whenever necessary."

Orsted was easily fooled.

The two of them immediately tested the initial version of the security doll in the open space outside the house.

activation--

The security puppet stood up and looked at Gawain and Orsted:

"Magic fluctuations detected, data matching in progress."

"∠(°ゝ°)."

"Your Majesty the God of War! Your Majesty the God of Dragons! May the glory of Academy City last forever!"

Orsted stared at the puppet that saluted him and Gawain and fell into deep silence.

Gao Wen Introduction:

"I am the highest authority in the system. The others are Level 0 users, and there are only two of them currently: the Prime Minister and you."

By the way, Gawain listed all his friends and family as Level 1 and Level 2 users. Even the guardian beasts at home were Level 2 users. Correspondingly, high-level officials like the principal and vice-principal of the Magic University were only Level 4-5 users.

Ordinary people only have citizen rights.

In fact, even citizens' rights have different levels, but only for criminals and honorary titles.

Gao Wen also plans to apply this set of rules to the college system, calculating the final score based on a unified weighted calculation of academic contribution, credits, academic assessments, comprehensive evaluation, etc., and then determining the level of students according to the score.

Of course, there are real differences in student grades. The privileges alone include but are not limited to scholarships, dormitory specifications, on-campus authority levels, project funding amounts, and admission quotas.

And as an academy city, this set of levels will be integrated into the citizen status system, which is the so-called honor system. Going further up, it will be extended into the academic system evaluation in exchange for real privileges.

There are ten levels of privilege in total, and including the highest authority and level 0, there are twelve levels of privilege.

But this is all for later.

Orsted didn't think much of this. He just continued to fiddle with the powered-on puppet.

"I feel like this thing can fight against a high-level swordsman?"

Gawain shook his head:

"Wrong. I've imported all the swordsmanship I stole from you into the [Magic Puppet Management Center] system. When connected to the internet, these puppets all possess comprehensive, emperor-level techniques. Their physical strength rivals that of a Saint-level swordsman entangled in fighting spirit. Given the same equipment, killing a Saint-level swordsman is no more difficult than killing a chicken."

Putting all the data in the cloud is still to guard against humans and gods.

Orsted: “?”

The Dragon God obviously had some misunderstanding about the upper limit of puppet technology. In his view, it was remarkable that a saint-level body could exert the strength of a superior. After all, it was natural for an intelligent race to be stronger than its own creations.

But from the perspective of technological civilization, the opposite is true. If mechanical creations are even less cost-effective than living humans, then why not just use cattle and horses?

Gao Wen added:

"They can also transmit actual combat data back to the management center, which analyzes and optimizes it before adding it to the database. In other words, they can become stronger through learning. This extends beyond swordplay and hand-to-hand combat techniques. Martial arts in any domain and dimension can be mastered this way. Of course, those at the god level and above are far from capable of this."

This is one of the fundamental reasons why Gawain has always looked down on swordsmen. The difficulty of mastering primitive martial arts is too easy. Any civilization that has just entered the interstellar space can easily do such a thing.

Gawain didn't even consider the divine swordsmanship displayed by the Dragon God and the Sword God to be simply swordsmanship. After all, it was essentially the ultimate application of fighting spirit. Fighting spirit, in turn, was a form of magic, a less pure form of transformed magic with unique properties. In short, it was still magic, just cast through the body.

Orsted digested it for a while before asking:

"What about intelligence?"

Gao Wen explained:

"Their thinking and intelligence derive from the low-level AI compilation technology of the Vitrum Empire, your ancient dragon summoning magic, and the sustainable spirit summoning magic provided by the Armored Dragon King Perkius. The Prime Minister and I combined these three to create a sustainable familiar capable of summoning half-AI, half-elf. Using the technology from the Mad Dragon King, we sealed it within the core of the magic puppet, allowing it to merge with the puppet and naturally take over all of its functions."

"Simply put, when disconnected from the internet, they possess the intelligence of an average human, with an IQ around 105, and their emotional intelligence is entirely dependent on the database. However, when connected to the internet, their capabilities are capped by the additional computing power allocated by the management center. Generally speaking, under normal allocations, the magic puppets are far more intelligent than normal humans. However, due to their low-level AI nature, their creativity is almost non-existent, but their working ability is extremely strong."

Orsted nodded, but he didn't quite understand:

"I think this is pretty good. Not to mention the first edition, even as a finished product it deserves full marks."

Gawain felt there were still many areas worth revising, such as the energy system. He suspected that the human world, as a closed miniature garden, was actually free of loss in the conversion of mana and matter within it. In other words, this small universe wasn't an entropy-increasing system. Theoretically, he could develop puppets with infinite battery life, or even have all instruments operate on an infinite supply of mana. As long as he managed total energy consumption, he wouldn't collapse the universe.

After receiving Orsted's consent, the reliable collaborator Gawain immediately said goodbye and left, kindly leaving the doll to Orsted to help this unfortunate guy who no one dared to approach:

"If you need, I can help you make it look like a girl."

Orsted took out the divine sword.

Obviously, he doesn't know how to appreciate a good person.

That night, the first batch of 10,000 magic dolls were completed. At Rudy's suggestion, they were all covered with soft skin with feminine features, wearing thin matte black armor, and pure white Vitrum-style robes underneath. They all had shoulder-length black hair, and their eyes were covered with black metal eye masks.

In a sense, the dolls' appearance can even be considered beautiful or cute.

After all, it was directed by a senior otaku.

But their arms and feet can eject sharp blades strong enough to cut through the king-level fighting spirit defense. Without the eye monitors, their eyes can shoot out scorching rays that can easily penetrate the city gates. Lifting several tons or even dozens of tons of weight and running at more than twice the speed of sound is a piece of cake for them.

They are united.

It is the most terrifying legion in the history of the human world.

Gawain said casually to Rudy beside him:

"Given the current size of the town, 2,000 units will be sufficient for maintenance. The remaining 8,000 units will be allocated to your underground city project. Strive to complete the main structure within 36 hours."

Rudy's face was serious:

"I believe the more important matter right now is to come up with a name for this magnificent bionic army! I will do it for you, Your Majesty! How about calling it the YoRHa Army?"

(Note: From NieR: Automata)

Gao Wen patted his shoulder speechlessly:

"What name do you want for the Urban Management Brigade?"

Chapter 21 The Martial God's Favor Is Not Over Yet

Chapter 21 Citizen File Creation and Mainland Transformation

October 28, 417 Jialong calendar year

The main framework of the dungeon has been completed. Eight thousand mechanical servants are working together with tens of thousands of construction machines with different divisions of labor to rapidly refine and improve the interior of the entire dungeon. The original return base has also been successfully placed underground and is taking root quickly like a plant.

The remaining two thousand mecha servants were also deployed throughout the entire New Sharia territory yesterday morning, announcing the grace and will of the two Majesties, the God of War and the God of Dragon, to all residents within the territory.

A total of 22764 lawbreakers were arrested.

Of these, 3191 will be tried and executed in public today.

Including 745 former nobles, administrative chiefs, major merchants, powerful swordsmen and magicians, as well as 143 so-called bigwigs who came from outside New Sharia to plead for them.

No one can go against the laws set by the God of War.

at the same time.

The population census of Academy City, Shallia, the [Martial God's Imperial City] covering an area of ​​92.3 square kilometers, has also been completed. More than 17.6 people have renounced their citizenship in New Shallia and are undergoing deportation procedures. The remaining 329.7 million people have gladly accepted their new identities and become glorious citizens of Academy City.

(Note: approximately equivalent to two Heilongjiang provinces)

Upon receiving the initial population census data, Gawain couldn't help but feel a sense of regret. If such a large territory were located in a more accessible area of ​​the Asura Kingdom, it might have provided him with a population exceeding 40 million. However, the 1,000-kilometer-diameter area centered on Sharia was not only a frontier region where three kingdoms met, but also the northernmost frozen region of the human world. Its population density was less than one-tenth of that in the more affluent areas of Asura.

By the way, the current citizen population of Old Sharia City is 36.1, with an additional 9.2 non-local faculty and staff, student candidates, businessmen, tourists, etc.

With a permanent population of nearly 500,000, it is one of the largest cities in the world.

But again, geographical location limits the development of Sharia.

"So, I plan to raze the Red Dragon Mountains between the Kingdom of Ranoa and the Territory of Fitoa."

Gawain pointed at a map and talked attentively.

Orsted thought it was a good thing that his partner always consulted him on important matters, but why did he always have to listen to these exaggerated plans? This would definitely affect his self-confidence, right?

So, the Dragon God picked on the problem:

“What should we do about the climate change that’s caused?”

Gao Wen had a plan in mind:

"After opening up the Red Dragon Mountains in the north, the extreme north cold air will flow southward through this pass. To prevent the formation of a storm corridor in the Feitoya Territory, I plan to widen the opening as much as possible and maintain a certain slope to lift the cold air into higher levels."

"Didn't we destroy the ring of mountains in the north-central part of the Bekalit Continent earlier? Combined with the changes in ocean circulation caused by the land subsidence, I've done some simple calculations and found that a large amount of hot air from the extreme south will move northward. Some of this hot air will enter the territory of the Asura Kingdom and mix with the cold air I plan to introduce, making the four seasons in the Asura Kingdom more distinct and stable."

"The other part will flow into the dense forests we razed. Nourished by the new warm ocean currents, the dense forests will quickly revive. Furthermore, the supersaturated water vapor will be able to cross the now-defunct Wanglong Mountains and flow into the southern kingdoms and the conflict zone. As a result, the central and southern parts of the Central Continent will become more habitable."

"In fact, I'm also considering opening up the Red Dragon Mountains in the northern part of the Conflict Zone to create new terrain and transport moist warm currents into the northeastern part of the Central Continent."

"I plan to use this system in the northern part of Milis Continent and the Demon Continent in the future. I'll first try to divert the excess moisture from the Great Forest to the southern part of the Demon Continent."

Orsted no longer understood anything.

He pretended to listen attentively, tapping the table with his fingers from time to time. When Gawain finished his long speech, he agreed:

"This is a very good initiative. Let's do it."

Gao Wen obtained permission from his partners and successfully shared half of the responsibility he would have to bear in case of failure.

Orsted seemed to remember something and threw a piece of paper over, saying:

"Since we've mentioned the northern part of the Central Continent, Gawain, please handle this matter first. This is the current base of the surviving Spelud. In past reincarnations, the Spelud always died out due to a special [plague] before Rijerud found them. Now the plague seems to have begun to spread. I have never found a solution to this problem, but if it were you, perhaps you could save them?"

Gao Wen took the list:

"Leave it to me. It just so happens that Rudy, I, and Ruijerudo already have an agreement. Thank you for telling me this."

Orstead picked up his pen again and drove Gawain away.

After Gawain left, he seemed to be stimulated and immediately began to write furiously. Orsted decided to complete the information exchange part of the agreement as soon as possible, and then immediately use the knowledge he got from Gawain to supplement his meteorological knowledge.

Dragon God, dreams of becoming a meteorological expert.

Half a minute later.

Gawain slowly found the Speluds who were living in seclusion near the Dragon Valley in the Kingdom of Bihelir.

Gawain wondered if he should call Rijerud to take charge of this matter, but he was also worried that Rijerud had also contracted the "incurable disease" that Orsted had mentioned. He had a good impression of Rijerud, or rather, he, Orsted, and Rijerud actually had a considerable degree of similarity.

"Hmm... Besides, Ruijerudo also said that he couldn't guarantee what his fellow countrymen who might exist would think of him, right?"

Gawain thought of the personal experience that Ruijierud had told him.

As the warrior leader of the tribe, Ruijerud once blindly worshipped the demon god Laplace, devoted all his all to him, fought for him, and led his people to risk their lives for him.

However, the demon god Laplace sees him as a threat that needs to be eliminated.

(Note: The grown-up Demon God Laplace is immortal. According to the original work, only the third eye of the Spelud clan and the Dragon God's sword can capture his vital points.)

Rijerudo failed to realize this, and he even used the power and authority of the warrior leader to force the warriors who followed him to abandon the traditions and persistence of their race, put down the spears that were an integral part of the Spelrudo people's body, and pick up the magic spears given by the demon god Laplace.

Therefore, the demon god Laplace used the magic spear as a medium to cruelly transfer his own curse of "being hated by the world and all living things", which was no different from the curse of the dragon god Orsted, to the Spelud clan, and drove all the Spelud warriors crazy, making them bear endless sins of killing and infamy, and eventually even fell to the point of killing their compatriots and eating their wives and children.

This is the sin that Ruijie Lude bears.

Driven by a sense of responsibility, Rijerud continues to search for other members of his tribe who may have survived, but he does not believe that he can be forgiven or accepted by his compatriots.

Gawain sighed:

"Then let me be the villain."

He reached out and grasped.

He grabbed the village of the Spelud tribe and lifted it into the sky out of thin air. All the tribesmen were suppressed in place by the frequently lit sealing magic, and the warriors who went out hunting were also easily captured by Gawain.

He glanced at it:

"No viruses, no bacterial infections, no fungal infections, no evil spirits, no curses."

"Oh, it's Dulay's disease."

The diagnosis is complete.

Orstead, you should go back to first grade.

Note: In a reincarnation without Rudy, Rijerud would not have traveled to the Central Continent so early (their encounter was a series of schemes by humans and gods). Therefore, under normal circumstances, Rijerud would not have been able to find his people.

In the Rudiless worldline, the Spelud settlement would have perished around the year 426 of the Ankylosaur calendar. In fact, it would have been almost ten years later, so let's just consider it earlier here.
