Age of Empires From Scratch - Chapter 145



[Chapter 145 The Body of Cybertron]

David’s physical fitness and holy light became stronger during his trip to Azeroth, but none of these were as surprising as the Cybertron Body.

Because this thing is interesting!

Before today, David had not studied this ability properly. Now Laura wants to see it, and the two of them can study it together.

David only knows that his form can be transformed into Cybertron mode. This silicon-based life form state greatly improves his strength and resistance to blows, and his thinking ability is also strengthened. In addition, in this state, he can output holy light energy more violently. For example, the holy

light field used in the world of Azeroth must be used with the Cybertron body.

If David releases it in a normal state, his body will either collapse because he cannot withstand such a huge energy output; or he will turn into a pure holy light creature under the huge holy light, and the best result is that he will inevitably be cast by light.

Without the extra bonus of the world of Azeroth, David found that this mode consumes a lot of energy. If he wants to maintain this state for a long time, he needs to switch to low power consumption mode.

Just like the Autobots and Decepticons, the two factions of Cybertronians who lost their homeland Cybertron and had no stable energy supply usually use low power consumption mode.

In this mode, many of the Cybertronians cannot use their abilities, such as the energy shield that all Cybertronians have.

Or they can make the holy light they possess even more powerful, and with sufficient energy supply, they can naturally open this mode for a long time.

“Isn’t this a problem? You won’t always be in this state.”

“It’s really not a problem.”

David doesn’t have many opportunities to fight. If he needs to fight occasionally, he can solve it with the increasingly powerful holy light and more and more weapons and equipment. There are really not many opportunities to use the Cybertron body.

Laura touched it up and down, and felt that there was nothing strange. David still looked like David: “I still don’t see what’s special about this state. In addition, what do you mean by the special field bonus you mentioned?”

David was actually observing himself, and he had a lot to explore about this state.

As for the question that Laura was obsessed with, he explained it casually: “You should know that Azeroth is a planet that can breed Titans, right?”

Laura nodded. This is considered a basic setting in the Warcraft worldview.

“Azeroth is a Titan that has not yet truly awakened. It is mentioned in the setting that once Azeroth awakens, it will be the most powerful Titan.”

“So…”

“So it’s not that I have become stronger, but that Azeroth is already strong.”

Laura tilted her head, not very satisfied with David’s answer. What does Azeroth’s strength have to do with you?

“I just got a little authority from Azeroth.”

To put it bluntly, it was Azeroth that mobilized the power, not David. Even because David was too “weak”, he could only use that level of power. “

Oh, I understand, it’s like you borrowed Azeroth’s authority account, so you can use power far beyond your own ability.”

“Almost.”

Laura, who had solved the doubts, began to concentrate on studying this Cybertron body with David. Soon the two discovered that David could change his “appearance” in this mode.

A familiar transformation sound rang out, and David changed from a “human” to a robot. I don’t know if it was because there was no template, but the robot David turned into looked ugly.

“Why does it look like C3PO… or a degraded version.”

David was speechless about his appearance. He was not Sheldon, so why did the mechanical appearance look like this? He

transformed again in front of the mirror and returned to his human appearance. He found that when he was in Cybertron form, he looked a bit like the Decepticon Hermit Warrior who appeared in the second Transformers movie.

He has two appearances, machine and human (the appearance is the same as that of humans, but it is still a silicon-based life), and can switch freely.

Then, he found that his body can be adjusted.

“Hey? This is interesting!”

Seeing David adjusting his appearance in front of the mirror, Laura, who had lost interest, finally became interested and pointed at the side.

He also asked David to change into a mechanical appearance first. After a long time of adjustment, a familiar mechanical skeleton appeared in front of Laura.

“Amuback!”

David gave a thumbs up, and quickly ignored Laura’s protest and gave up this appearance.

“Too ugly.”

He adjusted himself for a long time and finally ‘kneaded’ a mechanical shape that satisfied him. He directly copied the shape of the Knight Optimus Prime that will appear in the fourth Transformers, but did not choose the blue and red color scheme, but set it to black.

As for the future, when Optimus Prime changes his shape, will he collide with David? David will strongly recommend that Brother Pillar choose the classic G1 shape!

Setting the black Knight Optimus Prime shape as the default mechanical body shape, David discovered a setting of the Cybertron body: although it is possible to adjust each position according to one’s own ideas, this operation is relatively cumbersome and time-consuming.

So after determining the appearance, it can be set as a fixed template. The next time you transform, you can directly select this template to complete the rapid transformation. At present, David can save a mechanical appearance template and a human appearance template. After

switching back and forth between the mechanical appearance and the human appearance, David finally stopped in the human appearance.

“What? Have you had enough fun?”

Laura was still watching with relish at first, but the novelty soon wore off. Unexpectedly, David suddenly gave her another critical hit.

“You’ve seen the Transformers movie, right?”

“I watched it again after the ambulance arrived.”

“Then do you remember the Decepticon who disguised himself as the protagonist’s female classmate in Transformers 2?”

“Yes! How… eh~~”

Seeing Laura’s disgusted look, David was not going to continue talking, but he didn’t expect that he would be hit by Laura’s attack immediately.

“What are you waiting for? Let me see it!”

“…”

That night, the two of them conducted a very detailed and in-depth study of the Cybertron form. It was the first time that David knew that Laura’s desire for knowledge was so strong and her imagination was much richer than his. He felt that he was simply weak.

However, looking at Laura who was sleeping with her legs spread out and no signs of waking up, he felt full of pride in his heart. He put on his clothes, washed up and went out refreshed.

“Good morning, Baron.”

“Good morning, Elias.”

Just like before, Elias Parker would get up earlier than David and wait at the door for the Lord to appear.

“Baron, what would you like to eat today?” In addition to being a ceremonial officer, Elias also worked part-time as a personal butler and servant. This was to help David adapt to his noble status as soon as possible so that he could complete his tasks.

“A normal breakfast will do.”

“Got it, sir.” After a pause, Elias still asked, “Do you need to bring an extra portion?”

“No.” David knew that Elias was asking whether he should bring a portion for Laura. In his opinion, Laura would not be able to get up before the evening.

Elias, who understood, went to get breakfast, and after “monitoring” the Baron to finish his breakfast, he accompanied the Baron to the north construction site to give a speech.

Edwin Van Cleef had gathered the craftsmen in advance, including the miners who were going to work in the mines in the north, and they also gathered at this construction site.

The craftsmen didn’t know what was going on, they only knew it was related to their future.

When David came over and announced the farmland to everyone, the craftsmen knew what was going on.

“Really? The land will belong to us after it is reclaimed?”

“Aren’t those farmers in the town contract farmers? If they can own their own farmland after reclaiming it, why do they still work for the lord and Lady Samantha?”

“Who knows? Maybe there was a contract before?”

“Are you going to reclaim the wasteland?”

“Of course, don’t you want to? This is equivalent to giving you land for free, don’t you want it?”

“Yes, why not? I’m not that stupid!”

The craftsmen talked a lot, and some even couldn’t stay any longer, and they wanted to ask the foreman Van Cleef to leave the construction site and reclaim the wasteland immediately.

Fortunately, David’s next words calmed the agitated craftsmen down again.

He said that he would let Edwin Van Cleef arrange suitable free time for everyone to ensure that everyone has time to reclaim their own land.

Of course, a group of people can be specially assigned to be responsible for reclamation, and then all the craftsmen will share the farmland equally.

The specific choice can be decided after discussion by the craftsmen.

After finishing the story, David left the construction site, but he still watched for a while at the edge. Seeing the heated discussion of these craftsmen, he knew that his plan to divide the land was quite effective.

After all, before today, although the craftsmen had a relatively safe place to live and no longer had to worry about food, they were still a little far from a truly good life.

Having been cheated by the Storm Kingdom once, they were also worried that they would not be able to get the due compensation after working hard.

This worry will continue to intensify with the passage of time. If it is not handled properly, it is likely to cause a violent conflict.

After David gave the craftsmen visible and tangible benefits at this time, this hidden danger was completely eliminated. The craftsmen will continue to maintain their vigorous energy and work hard.

In fact, they will work harder than before, because this time they are really working for themselves!

Looking at the motivated craftsmen, David happily prepared to go on his daily inspection. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Jaina coming towards him.

“Good morning, Lord Glamorgan. I have some questions about magic that I want to ask you.”

I heard that you like to release them all at once? I’ll see how everyone reacts. If everyone likes this, I’ll update like this in the future… Today is still three chapters…
