"You can go, General Zagan."
After I finished discussing important topics with General Zagan, I let go, because I wanted to focus on other things that needed my attention. One of the most prominent was the making of potions that would break through my physical limits.
"Architect, how's your calculation?"
[Slowly, it took seven days to complete such a complicated process of refining potions. Unfortunately, your library doesn't have enough books on Alchemy, so my database is rather limited. I need to work with the available knowledge, and some of its parts, need to be altered to fit the manufacture of this potion, such as from a Common Level Monster.]
"Sad. Unfortunately, the demons did not have enough ingredients for proper alchemy. Perhaps some Houses had it for Potioneering, but for pill refining, that knowledge was only in the hands of the Pantheons and Celestial Court. I need to travel to the Three Realms at some point. They have a lot of knowledge that will be useful to us."
I said out loud. After that, I thought hard when I thought of something.
"Architect, release Project Arachne. That should be optimized by now, right?"
[Are you sure, sir?]
"Yes. Even if I made some basic drones, they would be great for some menial tasks; I needed to create and maintain a laboratory. They will be the prototype for Arcano technology. Another advantage that our race has but has not even developed yet. "
Arcanotechnology is basically a magical technology. Asgard mainly uses it; they have developed their magical technology to the extreme. That allowed them to create ships that could travel through the Dimensional Gap or energy-based weapons. No wonder runes work best with Arcano technology.
Pantheon like Egypt or Celtic also has a decent level of technology.
Big G developed a Sacred Gear based on it; basically, the Sacred Gear was nothing more than an extremely advanced Arcano Soul Weapon, bound to the God System in Heaven.
[Very good. With current materials, we might be able to make 100 Drones. Their firepower was extremely poor, and their combat level should only be around Low Class, depending on the quality of the materials and runes inscribed on them.]
Siad Architects, when I go to work. There was a whole branch of magic called Golemancy that was all about creating golems. My own invention is something similar yet very different. My creation was Automaton, a mechanical construction enhanced with runes and worked on runes.
For example, I don't need to control them manually, because they have a basic level of intelligence; they can be programmed to understand everything from basic commands to complex blueprints. Also, they can be controlled by Architects directly.
The Drone-Type is the basic unit of the Arcane Mechanical Automaton. They are mainly used for digging, working, building, or deconstructing objects and objects.
With countless smithy and blacksmiths, I have read it in a few hours.
The troublesome part was the secret inscription.
There are three steps in the creation of Arcane Mechanical Automaton. The first step is to make a mechanical construction. Skilled blacksmiths can do that. The second step is the rune inscription and creation of a secret matrix in the robot's "brain. The third step connects all the rune points with the brain's secret matrix and activates the robot.
The second and third steps were the hardest and I had to do it myself. Fortunately, I was fluent in Norse Magic, and my runework was excellent, so I completed the inscription process quickly and without errors.
The first drone took me an hour to make, as I was careful when writing runes to the body of the robot. When creating the Secret Matrix, I had to be more careful as it could easily explode if I made one mistake.
"When I finish this drone, the first thing I will make is the Factory. Hopefully, this drone can do the inscription process instead of me, and maybe even the creation of the Runic Matrix."
I murmured in frustration as I finished manufacturing the 30th drone. It was a tiring job, and I was fed up with it, but this little cute would be a huge advantage for me.
Maybe I could even sell some.
The number of demon deaths in the Great War was calculated in the hundreds of millions, perhaps reaching several billion, so it would be better to use golems or robots for battle; they could reduce casualties. And in the future, that means more Devils are surviving, and when Evil Pieces are invited, we will not rely on them.
Evil Pieces are very useful; for example, we can get Sacred Gear users, talented humans, or other members of the mischievous faction or leave. On the other hand, they were used to enslave other species and other members of the Pantheon.
In my opinion, they were created mainly to replenish the demons, that was stupid.
If we save enough residents in the Great War, and Civil War will be completed with a Coup, I can suppress the Evil Piece to be given to just a few people. In the canon, every High-class Devil has set out, I plan to give it only to High-class Devils who will get a recommendation letter and to the House Heir who passed the examination.
With this move, we can reduce the number of reincarnated demons by more than 90% and motivate the Evil Piece holders to reincarnate only people with strong potential.
After working for three consecutive days, I finished all the drones, and before me, was 100 Arcane Mechanical Automatons, from Drone-Type, from Arachne-Class.
"Architects, take control of drones and let them build an underground space, big enough to house my magic experiments and also a production line for robots."
