Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 462: God of Steel, Mechanicus

"I originally wanted to call you back to heaven to stay with me for a while, but now, you should return to your father and help him."

"Mother!"

Eliade, the Holy Dragon and Son of Seraphim, looked at the sudden arrival of the six-winged Seraphim with a little confusion.

Because even when his father was performing the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens, he only hurried back with the confiscated spoils, and then after the sacrifice, at the urging of his mother, he returned to the Michelgen material world where he was at the moment.

His mother hoped that he could command the Angel Legion and the Dragon Legion, and on the premise of following the Golden Order established by his father, bring the Michelgen plane completely under his control and manage it carefully.

No matter how noble and perfect the order is, it needs defenders. Otherwise, even if the law is engraved on immortal gold, it will be meaningless. Laws that are not binding are just waste paper.

Because of this, according to the agreement between his father and his mother, since the Michigan plane has already been intervened by his father's power, after this plane is saved and the invasion of the abyss is repelled, the ruling power of the plane will belong to his father. But who is the one who truly manages and rules the Michigan plane?
Of course it was him, the son of the golden dragon and the seraph, Iliad.

No one is more suitable than him to manage the Michelgen plane. If it were not for his existence, the management rights of this plane would not be so easily transferred to Noah's hands.

Noah also agreed with this point. This plane was also conquered by his eldest son himself. Naturally, whoever conquers it should rule it. He couldn't let his eldest son bleed and work hard in the front while arranging others to reap the fruits.

With the tacit consent of all parties, Iliad successfully took over the Michelgen plane after repelling the invasion of the abyss. He used the Golden Code as the basic principle to rebuild order and restore the world's ecology.

Eliade intends to manage this plane of world seriously. This is different from the world originally arranged by his father. As a world of faith based on the gods, even if the main body of faith is destroyed, there will be constant rebellion. Even if a massacre is carried out with iron-blooded means, there will always be martyrs and rebels.

But the Michelle world is different. This material world that was invaded by the abyss and almost fell can, to some extent, be said to be quite "clean".

Therefore, Eliades was full of ambition and energy. He understood and knew his father's ambitions. Therefore, as a son, he needed to build a legion that was strong enough and had a steady supply of reserve forces to resist the consumption in future long-term wars.

He did not mind the fact that he controlled this world because of his identity. He had already grown up, but he no longer had the naivety and innocence of his childhood. He would not stop until he broke free from the influence of his parents and achieved something with his own strength.

If you really want to be picky, his blood and flesh come from his parents. If he must cut off the influence of his parents, does he have to cut off his bones and flesh?
If it was his, he should take it. There was no need to be embarrassed. If he didn't take it, how could others take it? Should he let his brother take it? How was that appropriate? It created a gap out of thin air and created conflicts.

Precisely because of such an open-minded and calm idea, Elijah really enjoys the feeling of reclaiming the land that has been ravaged by the Legion of the Abyss.

But he didn't expect that his mother would take the initiative to ask him to return to his father. What could he do even if he went back now? His father didn't need him.

"Your father's human brother has awakened!"

Seeing Eliade who was confused, Ophelia reminded him.

"Human brother? Mother, are you talking about Uncle Teddel?"

Elijah reacted immediately and knew who his mother was talking about, but he still didn't understand what the connection was.
"What does this have to do with me going back?"

"Your father has appointed your human uncle as the commander of the expeditionary force, but your uncle did not accept any of the legions assigned to him by your father. Instead, he used the power of the Augustus family to reorganize the legion."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

"But your uncle doesn't want nothing. He asked your father for a floating city."

"If he does as you said, using the power of the Augustus family to form a legion and fight for my father, then isn't it reasonable for my father to give the floating city to him?"

Until this moment, Elijah did not think there was any problem.

"Iliad, my child, if your uncle does not wake up, then who should control this floating city that your father built for him?"

"It doesn't matter who it is."

Elijah immediately understood what his mother wanted to say and why she wanted him to return to his father.

"I am not questioning your father's decision, but you should go back and let him know that his human brothers are not the only ones willing to fight for him. His son is also leading the legion to shed blood for him."

“My father knows everything I do.”

Elijah still didn't think he needed to go back, because he knew that everything he did was under his father's watchful eyes.

"He did know, but he chose to agree to your uncle's request."

There is certainly nothing wrong with Noah's behavior and actions, but as a mother and Noah's partner, Ophelia does not want her partner to be more generous to outsiders than to her own children.

"Mother, Father will not only build one floating city. He will build more floating cities. By then, I will definitely get a floating city allocated by Father."

Eliade understood his mother's concerns, as there were too many similar things happening in history. But he believed that these things would never happen to them.

"You are going to wait for the floating city that your father will assign to you?"

"Everything is subject to my father's arrangements."

"You are such a good son of Noah!"

Ophelia heard her son's answer and felt a little disappointed.

"I believe in my father!"

"I believe him, too, but he is too emotional and sometimes even forgets everything else."

Ophelia snorted.

It wasn't that she didn't agree with Noah treating his human brother well, after all, he was the only offspring of his adoptive parents, but the treatment Noah gave to this brother was really too high. Judging from the arrangement of the battle sequence, even his offspring, including Eliade, had to obey the command of this human warlord, which was a bit unreasonable.

"Mother, since you also believe in father, what else do you have to worry about?"

Fairness and justice are extremely important both for the country and for the family. They are directly related to the harmony within the country and the family and will affect future development.

It is really difficult to make everything completely fair. Most of the time it is impossible to do so. No matter how it is distributed, there will be objections. Therefore, the best way to deal with it is to make all parties involved feel that they have been treated fairly.

"Since the design drawings of the floating city have been fully verified, let's start the construction of the second to sixth phases of the floating city at the same time!"

Faced with the difficulty in allocating resources for a floating city, Noah chose to build five floating cities at the same time. This would indeed put great pressure on the finances, but the economic pressure brought by these construction costs could be transferred to the vassal states.

The real challenge is the shortage of skilled workers in related construction and production lines, as well as the lack of operators after the construction of the floating city is completed.

If you want a complete floating city to exert powerful combat power, it is not enough to just put a legendary archmage in it, but also requires thousands of spellcasters and an even larger number of alchemical golems to maintain the operation of the entire floating city.

Otherwise, how could the floating city shake the kingdom of the gods? The gods were not fragile creatures that could be touched by anything.

However, these can all be solved, because during the process of technical verification, a small floating city that can accommodate a population of 200,000 has been built in Noah's territory.

It is more than enough for training. The real problem is the shortage of skilled jobs. The problem of economic resources can be solved, but the lack of workers cannot be solved in a short period of time.

Therefore, Noah chose to take action himself. In the extraordinary world dominated by individual power, powerful extraordinary people are the primary productive force.

Although the world will does not provide any support for the construction of floating cities that can play a decisive role in the alien colonization war, Noah can also solve the production problem independently.

"Your Majesty, among the materials brought back by the sixteenth fleet, there are 1.9 billion tons of refined iron, 967 million tons of refined copper, and pure aluminum..."

Noah listened to the report from the Fairy Queen in front of him, casually waved his dragon claw to order her to retreat, and then looked at the mountains of refined metals in front of him. These were the basic resources plundered from the other world. They didn't seem too important, but the quantity was extremely large.

Word Spirit · Magnetic Furnace

Noah used the words suitable for production. The next moment, a huge domain spread out with Noah as the core, and an invisible super-giant furnace stood between heaven and earth.

In this magnetic furnace, even the most scarce and valuable rare and extraordinary metals such as refined gold, mithril, and mountain copper could not last much longer than ordinary steel and aluminum, and all turned into liquid.

Afterwards, under Noah's will, hundreds of liquid metal rivers blended with each other according to the metal formula that he had already memorized. They gradually stretched and extended according to the requirements on the design drawings, or shrank and deformed, turning into accessories needed for the construction of the floating city.

With the Dragon King personally involved, the problem of insufficient productivity was quickly resolved, and the first floating city, which took nearly forty years to build, was initially completed.

But after Noah joined, even if all five phases of the project were started at the same time, the construction period was compressed to less than seven years, and the construction time was shortened by nearly six times.

Such a fast speed caused the goblin engineers who witnessed it to have their three views collapsed and their worldview reshaped.

Everything Noah did was simply a miracle in the eyes of the goblin engineers - he could easily extract metals without any impurities from the deep veins in the earth, then transform ordinary metals into alchemical alloys with extraordinary properties, and finally stretch them and shape them into the desired shape.

The God of Steel and Machinery!
This is the name given to Noah in private by the goblin group after the five floating cities were completed at the same time and the goblins, who have basically achieved elite education for all their members, have done.

They also use this to form secret societies, worshiping Noah, the god of steel and machinery, in their own unique way.

"Let them be!"

After hearing the goblins' report about the goblins' secret movements, Noah let things go after realizing that the goblins worshipped him.

Although these guys' reconstruction and interpretation of their own image are very strange, it is not impossible to regard him as the god of steel and machinery.

Although such a name of god was suspected of encroaching on the field of forging and alchemy, Noah did not care. After all, with his current identity, no god would regard him as a threat, and those gods also looked down on the beliefs developed by the goblins.

"Your Majesty, those goblins are so devout in their belief in you that they have reached the point of fanaticism. If you don't guide them, it's hard to say what they will do to you."

“What extreme things are they doing now?”

"Your dislike of goblin appearance has been known to most goblins, and they now believe that you are the God of Steel and Machinery.

Therefore, a considerable number of goblins advocate changing their life forms through mechanical transformation in order to gain your favor and love. "

“How did they transform it?”

Noah became interested. The goblins' talent in practicing the extraordinary path was really unbearable to watch.

Even within the goblin race, there are special branches like hobgoblins and bear goblins. However, as monsters, they are too weak and have no right to survive in the world.

But the most common goblins have gained a place in Noah's order with their wisdom. No matter which battle group you are in, you can see these short and agile green-skinned figures. They are needed to accompany the army to repair damaged engineering equipment and magic kinetic mechas.

It can be said that the goblins have made an indelible contribution to the development of Noah's territory to its current level and the construction of the floating city, so Noah is quite tolerant of the goblins, as long as they don't hang around in front of him. He really doesn't like that greasy green skin.

"Currently, the most radical goblin engineers have transformed themselves to the point where only a complete brain and heart remain.

According to the goblin's internal research plan, it is said that this engineer also intends to create an inexhaustible energy core to replace his weak flesh and blood heart, so that he can achieve immortality with the help of machinery. "

“The renovation is pretty good!”

Based on the information provided by the goblin, Noah took a look at the current appearance of the goblin engineer. In short, it was a mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex!
The aesthetic taste of the goblins was completely distorted by him.
