Chapter 2206: War Machine
Zhao Hai is currently standing in a desert with a huge number of robots in front of him. Some of the robots have wheels on their bodies while some had jet engines, there were also some who had propellers.
Besides these robots, there were also robots that looked special. There were huge robots and small robots. Some of the robots have cannon barrels while some had screens on their chests. The smaller robots could get as small as ants. If you don’t focus your eyes, you won’t notice them at all.
The smallest robots were essentially nanobots. They could become smaller, but they chose to increase their size to let Zhao Hai see them. It can be said that the small nanobots could form up and become the biggest robot of all those present.
There were more than a thousand robots in front of Zhao Hai. Their original form ranged from household appliances to flying weapons. Each of the robots have different functions and also a vast range of combat strength.
After looking at the robots in front of him, Zhao Hai said, “Let’s begin.” The robots immediately complied. Some of them took out cold weapons while some held a firearm. Some of the guns were large enough to look like a cannon.
To be honest, Zhao Hai had no confidence in the strength of these robots. In the Transformers movies, humans could cause damage to these robots with conventional weapons. There was no need to mention what damage a cultivator could do to them. Zhao Hai was fairly sure that even nuclear weapons couldn’t do anything to cultivators.
On the other hand, Zhao Hai wasn’t sure if the robots could cope with being hit by a nuclear bomb. Therefore, he wasn’t confident in them.
But what made Zhao Hai feel strange was where he got the Allspark from. Also, he wondered why it could absorb energy from spirit crystals.
All these questions were left to Zhao Hai to answer. But Zhao Hai wasn’t anxious. Right now, he wanted to see the strength of these robots.
When the robots began to fight in groups, Zhao Hai was taken aback. He found that the combat strength of the robots was quite big. This was especially true for robots with weapons. They seem to be born for battle. They were able to utilize their steel bodies to the extreme.
Although the robots were perfectly made, parts of their body would still break and fall. In fact, as soon as they began to fight, their bodies would fall once they were damaged. They looked as if they would break at any time.
However, this wasn’t the case. Although robots would drop parts during battle, most of these parts were expendable. They only have a few key parts they need. Therefore, the robots were still quite sturdy. They only need to be repaired to be in peak form.
The Universal Processing Machine took this into account when making the robots. Therefore, the processing machine also created mining robots, factory robots, repair robots, and even generator robots. The robot army was essentially a true army with logistics capability.
What surprised Zhao Hai the most was that the most powerful robots in the army weren’t the weaponized weapons. Instead, it was the small nanobots. They could decompose into countless small robots and like human cells, one couldn’t see them.
And once these nanobots combine, they could become an enormous robot. They could form all kinds of weapons and even flutter to their destination using the wind. They were the most difficult to deal with among the robots.
The battle exercise of the robots ended before long. Zhao Hai made a rough calculation about the robots’ combat strength. If these robots fought against cultivators one on one, they wouldn’t win.
But if 10 thousand robots were to fight against 10 thousand cultivators, it’s very likely that those cultivators would die in the end.
When the robots are fighting, they pay more attention to their cooperation. And when the processing machine made robots, it gave them combat programs. So, when the Allspark gave the robots life, all of them became experts of war.
After knowing the robots’ strength, Zhao Hai became relieved. He came out of the Space and silently sat cross legged in his room. What Wei Tiande did affected him. He finally understood that for the sake of resources, cultivators would do whatever it takes.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also understood how important the Space is to him. No matter how rare a resource is, as long as it entered the Space, Zhao Hai would have an infinite supply of it. Zhao Hai was certain that if the people from the True Spirit Realm were to know of the Space, they would certainly go crazy trying to rob it.
Zhao Hai also figured out that the most important aspect of the Space for him was its material support.
Gold, law, companion, and land were the most important things for cultivators. The Space provided Zhao Hai with wealth – which is the most important of the four.
A cultivator’s wealth doesn’t necessarily mean their gold or any currency. Even if you have a lot of money, this doesn’t mean that you could buy all of the heavenly materials in the world. For cultivators, the first thing they think about when acquiring resources wasn’t to sell, it was to use it for themselves. And if they couldn’t use it, only then would they sell it.
Even then, heavenly resources were limited in availability. But for Zhao Hai, these heavenly treasures aren’t worth a glance. The Space has much better items.
Zhao Hai was qualified to pick and choose the fat from the thin. He can choose to spend money or not. This was because he has the Space. If he didn’t have the Space, how could he ascend all the way up from the lower realms? If there was no Space, he would have died not long after transmigrating. It would be impossible for him to live as freely as he does right now.
Zhao Hai took a deep breath and felt a deeper gratitude towards the Space. At this time, someone’s voice was heard outside, “Is Junior Brother Zhao Ling inside? Disciple Ma Tian wants to visit.”
Zhao Hai stared, then he used his spiritual force to scan outside the residence. He discovered a cultivator outside. Moreover, this cultivator was quite familiar. It was none other than the cultivator who led him before. He seems to be from the Miscellaneous Hall. Zhao Hai didn’t have an impression of him, he didn’t even know his name.
Although Zhao Hai isn’t from the Battle Corpse Sect, he has been in the Tyrant Blade Sect for quite some time. He knew very well that there were places where disciples weren’t treated well. And one of these places was the Miscellaneous Hall.
Sects like the Tyrant Blade Sect were better and would rotate the assignment to the Miscellaneous Hall. But in the Battle Corpse Sect, such rotations didn’t happen. Disciples assigned to the Miscellaneous Hall were those who had no talent or those who had offended someone important. In other words, it was close to impossible for those in the Miscellaneous Hall to improve their standing in the sect.
Because he was aware of this, Zhao Hai didn’t pay attention to the disciple from the Miscellaneous Hall. But upon seeing that the disciple was taking initiative to visit him, Zhao Hai was a bit surprised.
However, Zhao Hai didn’t hesitate for long. He waved his hand and opened the door to the residence and said, “Senior Brother Ma, come in.” Ma Tian complied and walked in.
Zhao Hai stood up to greet Ma Tian. Then he said, “I have seen Senior Brother Ma. May I ask why Senior Brother is visiting me?”
Ma Tian quickly replied, “I have nothing else to do today. I don’t have many friends in the sect. I heard that you just came back from a mission, so I took the rare chance to visit. Is that alright? Is Junior Brother Zhao busy?”
As soon as Zhao Hai heard this, he immediately understood Ma Tian’s intention. Ma Tian came to make friends with him. Ma Tian was a disciple of the Miscellaneous Hall, and he wanted to leave. Zhao Hai’s future in the Battle Corpse Sect was assured due to his relationship with Wei Tiande. With just a few words, Wei Tiande could improve Ma Tian’s life by leaps and bounds.
Although he understood Ma Tian’s intentions, Zhao Hai didn’t show it. More friends, more roads. No matter what kind of friend they are, even if they came from a low level, they could still play a great role. This was what Zhao Hai’s experience taught him. So as soon as he heard Ma Tian, he immediately smiled and said, “Like Senior Brother said, I just came back from a mission, so I’m currently resting. Since Senior Brother is here, let’s share a few cups.”
When Ma Tian heard this, he couldn’t help but laugh, “It turns out Junior Brother also likes to drink. Good, I like to drink too. Let’s share a few cups.” After saying that, Ma Tian took out a jar of wine and a few dishes.
Seeing the things that Ma Tian took out, Zhao Hai smiled. He could see that Ma Tian came prepared. Zhao Hai didn’t hold back and also took a few snacks out. Then the two proceeded to drink liquor inside Zhao Hai’s residence.
