It's actually the mechanical age! Lu Ran was silent.

The next moment, he became even more silent.

[Era Introduction: In 486 AD, over the past 500 years, with the development of the mechanical system, human beings' war capabilities have been unprecedentedly improved, and many ferocious beast forces have been driven to the edge of the Star-Moon World.

With the improvement of science and technology, human beings are no longer satisfied with dominating legends, and gradually reach out to the unknown realm of "artificial gods".

For the "Artificial God" project, the Star-Moon Republic established the "God Research Institute" and vigorously developed and supported the mechanical department in the country. With the support of the policy, more than 60% of the beastmasters in the republic have been transferred to mechanics.

The purpose of the Republic doing this is to discover talented mechanics with top research and invention capabilities from the massive group of mechanics, and to enrich the number of scientific researchers in the "Divine Research Institute".

In this era, mechanical invention conferences were held everywhere, and mechanics were proud of having unique inventions.

The effect is comparable to the Beast Taming Space, and it can directly capture and tame the "Contract Ball" of high-level pets.

When your pet wears it, it can directly mechanically arm itself with the evolved "mechanical armor".

"Missile: Divine Wrath" can continuously accumulate natural energy, which is enough to destroy a hundred-level overlord with one shot.

A "spaceship" that allows ordinary people to go into space and complete space travel...

These are just some insignificant inventions in the mechanical age. Mechanics are still constantly pursuing the highest level of mechanics...】

[Breakthrough Mission: Submit your own invention in the 'College Student Invention Competition' held in the capital of the Star-Moon Republic, achieve a score above the top 100, and rank higher than other trialists! ]

[Hint ①: Only one person can be promoted to 'Level 5 Beast Tamer' in this trial. ]

【Tip ②: The score of the breakthrough task is positively correlated with the final ranking of the invention competition. 】

【Hint ③: You have obtained the student status of Capital University of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. 】

[Hint ④: The invention competition will start 18 days after entering the secret realm...]

【Hint⑤……】

The prompt text kept refreshing, and Lu Ran felt numb.

There is a feeling like entering a secret realm for the first time.

This breakthrough mission...actually requires the trial-taker to participate in some mechanical invention competition.

The key point is that Lu Ran currently knows nothing about the Department of Mechanics.

It’s even more uncomfortable than the cooking competition.

Invent...invent a hammer!

Not to mention him, even a mechanic from later generations would be confused if he came to this era.

Because the level of mechanical technology in later generations is completely inferior to that of the mechanical age.

In other words, it is difficult to rely on things from later generations to launch a dimensionality reduction attack.

"A fairly mild breakthrough mission..."

"In comparison, the mechanical age mission that the Condor Federation leader and his men experienced seemed to be related to combat, so they were beaten badly..."

"But for me, it might as well be about fighting."

"The only good news is that, besides me, the other trial participants must be confused as well."

"Mechanics...are still a minority after all."

During the final transmission process, the memory of the identity arranged by Infinite City was gradually implanted in Lu Ran's mind.

And as this memory was implanted, Lu Ran suddenly had an epiphany.

Infinite City would definitely not arrange a task that seemed impossible to complete. As his identity information was loaded, Lu Ran knew what the "guaranteed invention" arranged by Infinite City was.

Lu Ran is a talented beast tamer from the folks who has lost his father and mother. Then, because of the powerful strength of his pet, he was recruited by the Capital University of Mechanical Engineering, in the hope that Lu Ran could embark on the evolutionary path of "mechanical transformation of pets".

In order to complete the route of "mechanical transformation and evolution", Lu Ran directly entered the university and had the opportunity to learn mechanical knowledge.

In various invention competitions, inventing a completely new "mechanical transformation evolution route" can also be considered an invention.

In other words, even if these trial participants know nothing about mechanics, they can still participate in the "Invention Contest" by selling their resources and spending money to find someone to learn and customize mechanical evolution routes. They can compete for the final ranking by mechanically evolving their pets.

Although inventions such as mechanical transformation evolution routes are at the bottom of the contempt chain in various invention competitions, this is not absolute.

If you can transform a mechanical pet with special racial talents that is of great significance to the development of the mechanical field, you can also get a higher ranking.

It can be said that this is the bottom line that Infinite City gives to the trialists. If there is no other choice, you can consider transforming your pet and evolving it towards the mechanical system! Of course, doing so is also risky. Everyone's pet has a fixed training route. Rashly evolving it towards the mechanical system may not necessarily have a good result.

Rather than taking this risk, it is better to wait for the next breakthrough in the secret realm.

However, if the beastmaster who enters this secret realm of breakthrough is a Blue Star beastmaster, some people would probably be willing to take the risk and get in touch with the rare mechanical system.

Buzz!!! Lu Ran was in a mess of thoughts, and soon he found himself in a luxurious single dormitory.

He lay on the bed and continued to think.

"First of all, in order not to waste time, I must clear this secret realm."

"Besides, this hidden world view of breaking through the secret realm looks so awesome."

"If I can invent something powerful enough in the College Student Invention Competition, doesn't that mean I have a chance to be invited by the 'Divine Research Institute' to become a researcher there?"

"This Divine Research Institute is most likely the birthplace of the Mechanical God."

"That is to say, as long as the conditions are met, I can even participate in the creation project of the 'Machine God'?!"

“…I feel like I’m daydreaming again.”

"Do I really want to transform my pet into a mechanical one? I feel like none of my pets are very suitable."

"At most, there is a sword dog holding a mechanical lightsaber and a dragon king wearing defensive armor..."

"But if it's just a mechanical pet transformation, no matter what, it will definitely not meet the invitation criteria for entering the 'Divine Research Institute'."

“It has to be an invention that is groundbreaking.”

"Besides, it is too risky to rashly make major changes to a pet just to complete a breakthrough mission."

"But apart from the mechanical transformation of pets, I am a mechanic newbie with zero basics, so it is a pipe dream for me to do anything else..."

"Besides, it has to be a groundbreaking research invention."

"…With only 18 days left, I might be able to use epic enhancement cards, enhance the Qingling Fruit, and improve my learning ability to complete the three-week quick-training to become a mechanical master, but I still don't think it's safe."

"Hmm? By the way, is there an unactivated artificial mechanical angel in my backpack?!"

Lu Ran suddenly remembered something, looked into his backpack, and then showed joy.

Almost forgot about this guy.

No matter what, the mechanical angel is also a research machine of the king race. In this breakthrough mission, it is more useful than a mechanical novice like myself.

I can't wait to break through to level five. Maybe I can activate her in the ruins space later and let her be my assistant. In this way, the probability of completing the task will be greater.

Two people working together are always better than one person working alone.

However, even with the assistance of the mechanical angel, it can only ensure that Lu Ran has a higher probability of completing the breakthrough mission.

If he still wanted to achieve an SSS score and deeply explore the secrets of the times like he had done before by breaking through the secret realm, it would definitely not be enough to rely solely on the assistance of the mechanical angel. Even if he could regard the mechanical angel as an invention, it would not be enough for the Divine Research Institute to take a second look.

"Yes."

"Before being activated, the Mechanical Angel is not a 'mechanical life', but just a pile of materials."

"Even their core 'smart chip' is just a mechanical resource."

"The intelligent chip of the mechanical angel is a world-class mechanical resource."

"Only in this way can we support the setting of the king race researching intelligent life."

"If I use the epic enhancement card to enhance the mechanical angel's intelligent chip to the epic level, then even if it cannot directly evolve into a dominant race, its research capabilities should be comparable to those of a dominant research life form."

"Even in the mechanical age, a dominant research-type intelligent life form is considered a first-tier researcher."

"In this way, with its assistance, the probability of completing the breakthrough mission is not just higher, but close to 100%. I don't believe that any other trial participants can get the assistance of the overlord-level intelligent research life. This kind of thing can only be touched by legendary mechanics in the Star-Moon Federation. It is a national treasure."

"However, there is still a big problem, that is time and direction. 18 days is still too short, and there is no suitable research direction at present..."

[You don't have to worry.] While Lu Ran was struggling, Liudaohua suddenly spoke slowly in the contract card.

【I will solve the problem of time. 】

【You just need to think about the direction of the invention. 】

"Liuhua!" Hearing Liudaohua's voice, Lu Ran was startled and said, "Didn't I tell you not to show up unless there is a special situation?"

"I know your ability, but if you take action, it will be too easy for those guys to find you."

"Wait until I learn the space-time shielding beast-controlling technique, then you can come out."

Lu Ran knew the meaning of the Six Paths Flower. The power of the Six Paths Flower also integrated the ability of time. Lu Ran and the others had experienced it.

The Six Paths Flower can create a hell realm where the flow of time is different from that of the outside world, so that the enemy can suffer more.

If Lu Ran judged correctly, Liudaohua should want the newly born mechanical angel to enter the time hell to invent things. In this way, since the flow of time in this field is different from that in the outside world, even if there are only 18 days in the outside world, it is enough for the mechanical angel to carry out invention research for a very long time.

However, this would be a bit of a mental burden for Liudaohua. Besides, Lu Ran was also worried about a situation like last time, such as being found by the legendary beast of the Chaos Dragon God.

"It's not a big problem." Liudao Huadao: "The era of the sacred tree has just ended, which means that the war between the beast god and the plant god has just ended. It is precisely because the beast god and the plant god were both seriously injured that humans have the opportunity to develop."

"With the help of my talent 'Restriction Removal', I can feel that the constraints on plant life between heaven and earth are much less."

"The guys we should be worried about right now are probably all in 'deep sleep and recuperation'."

"Moreover, in this era, plant life is everywhere, and there are still a considerable number of plant spirits somewhere in the Star-Moon World. This is no longer the era of the Beast Taming Empire when plant life was still rare. They won't notice us."

“This…” Lu Ran fell into deep thought. Indeed, in the early days of the Mechanical Age, the battle between the Divine Tree and the Chaos Dragon God camp had just ended. Both sides suffered heavy losses and fell asleep. How could they possibly show up?

“That makes sense.”

"In this way, I will strengthen the birth of the mechanical angel, and you will lock her up in the time hell to invent something. With top researchers and enough time, as long as I make up a high-end project for her, she will have a high probability of researching it out... This breakthrough mission is secured, and with a legendary life like you providing some suggestions to the intelligent angel, there is a high probability that the invention will be selected by the 'Divine Research Institute'!"
