Chapter 227: A Maintenance
The library was another huge building, but unlike the towering energy factory, it spread over arger area. It was just one floor inside, filled with things that looked like big coffins. Each coffin had a metal wire connected to a sealed ''server'' in the center.
"Find a reception pod about your height and lie down in it," Windme 222 said to Adam outside the library. "I''ll wait for you here."
Curious, Adamy down in an eight-meter-long pod.
External connectors touched his body and gently entered after getting his permission, linking with the Vital Generator and interacting with the Original mes.
Some information was uploaded through the pod, while the Original mes were downloading.
Adam didn''t understand the principle, but the technology was advanced and magical. It saved a lot of learning time, skipping the steps of learning and memorizing, and directly achieving mastery.
The basic knowledge included several forms for melting alloys, including the mostmon ones like nickel-cadmium, bronze, tungsten-cobalt, titanium alloy, iron-carbon alloy, and some special alloys with energetic properties like me, earth, storm, and more.
Here, the importance of the Original mes was further highlighted. When melting attributed metals, the me acted as a converter and enchanting device.
All attribute metals had to be forged through the me, meaning they were not mass-produced in factories but individually crafted by each Titan.
There was also basic information on the weapon system, providing energy circuits for externalizing the energy of the mes. This part was not very useful for Adam, as the magic arrays in the world of mages were much more advanced.
There were also introductory methods for modifying the Vital Generator. The Titans divided it into offensive, defensive, energy, and support types. Once chosen, one could purposefully modify the Vital Generator and mount weapon systems, which was very convenient.
The basic knowledge introduced the ranking system for Titans. Adam was currently at the Novice level, followed by the Knight level, Commander level, and Warlord level. That was corresponding to themon numerical grading system in the mage world.
Also, all the Royals in this world were at the transcendent level.
Through various ssifications and the racial ability to freely transform, each Titan was an excellent warrior, capable of ying any role in wars.
After receiving the basic knowledge, Adam walked out of the library. Windme 222 said, "That''s the benefit for neers. From now on, all services will need to be paid for with Battle Honors. But don''t worry, it''s easy to earn Battle Honors. Just go to the battlefield and kill Metal Eaters."
"A level one Metal Eater is worth one battle honor, a level two is five points, level three is ten points, and level four is twenty points."
Windme 222 didn''t mention the transcendent Metal Eaters, probably because he had never seen one. It made sense, as he was only at themander level. Facing a transcendent Metal Eater head-on would likely result in being devoured instantly.
The military honor system usually appeared in wars that can''t be ended quickly. This system discarded the mary and financial system, and ess to advanced resources and knowledge was entirely determined by one''s contribution in the war.
This characteristic of a warring race also indicates the immense pressure the Metal Eaters impose, so much so that the Titans encourage their people to fight in this manner.
"Neers who haven''tpleted the first advancement of their Vital Generator and the Original mes generally don''t need to go to the battlefield. But there''s a maximum period of five years for the neer phase. Within five years, you must be a Knight, or you''ll be stripped of your warrior status and sent to work in ces like the energy factory or the metallurgy factory."
As Windme 222 led Adam towards the ''Titan Beauty Salon,'' he continued, "What about the Intelligent? Do they also need to go to the battlefield?"
"Of course, the Intelligent are the most powerful warriors. Even if you''re very smart, you need to reach the warlord level to officially be an Intelligent. Before that, you must go to the battlefield. Otherwise, how can you develop weapons against the Metal Eaters if you don''t even know what they are?"
The Titan Beauty Salon was bustling with peopleing and going. The Titans who survived the recent big battle needed rxation and maintenance.
After greeting the other tribe members with a cheerful smile, Windme 222 led Adam to a separatepartment inside the vast building: "Neers don''t actually need maintenance, but considering you might be an Intelligent, this one''s on me."
With that, his me fluctuated a few times, and the ground split open, raising tworge machines that swallowed both Adam and him.
The maintenance for metal creatures included polishing, grinding, cleaning, lubricating, fueling, and more.
For Titans, this also involved the care of the Vital Generator. These tasks were entirely performed by the tworge machines, while Adam and Windme 222 simplyy there quietly, letting countless tiny mechanical arms massage their entire bodies.
During the internal maintenance, the machines took the energy blocks Adam had received, inserting them into the Vital Generator at specific frequencies and continuously rubbing the metal walls.
The Original mes burned in waves, and the overflowing energy was channeled through all energy circuits, putting the whole body in a semi-excited state.
After half an hour, the maintenance was over. Adam saw that there was not a single w on Windme 222''s body. He shone brilliantly under the light.
Adam''s own silver body also sparkled with a crystal-clear sheen, looking very valuable.
Stepping out of the beauty salon, Windme 222 handed Adam a small external plugin. "This is a me Vibration Receiver. When you get back, plug it into your Vital Generator. It''s already set to my frequency, so you can contact me through it if you need anything. I''m usually in Ironburg unless I''m out on a mission."
After saying that, he waved and left on his own.
Adam pocketed the plugin and headed to the rest area.
The Titans didn''t have residences as such; their bodies were toorge. Unlike other creatures, they didn''t have feelings of fatigue, sleep, or mating. When they had spare time, they usually just found an open area to sit quietly with their mes contained within their Vital Generator.
The spot Adam chose already had some Titans present, who kindly made space for the neer.
A me Vibration Receiver was a kind of trantion and diffusion device. It can convert me vibrations into radio waves that Titans could receive.
After instation, Adam felt the surrounding sparks be clearer, but since there was no exchange of vibrations, conversation was not yet possible.
"Master, have you decided what to do?" the devil whispered quietly.
This was the question Adam was contemting. The Titans, unlike the dragon race or the radiation species, might be different from other races the Explorers had encountered.
Adam felt this race could be allied with."
