Chương 695: -685- The reason
Under Loki's guidance, Rozen eventually arrived at a grand building located deep within his territory. Not only was it massive in scale, but it was also highly fortified, with iron grilles on the windows, giving it the appearance of a real prison, emanating a cold and ruthless feeling.
Rozen entered the building alongside Loki, and what he saw inside were numerous iron cages.
"This...."
This sight furrowed Rozen's brows because within these cages were a multitude of dogs.
These were dogs of various breeds, including Great Danes, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Dobermans, even Border Collies, and mixed breeds of these dogs.
At this moment, these dogs were all asleep, completely unaware of the presence of the two individuals. What was intriguing was that these dogs had various pieces of armor on them.
Rozen had witnessed something like this before.
"Rabbi."
Indeed, the impression these dogs gave was identical to Frey's Rabbi.
In other words:
"Are all these of the same automaton type as Rabbi?" Rozen looked at Loki.
This time, Loki did not ignore Rozen's question and, after a moment of silence, he spoke expressionlessly, "These are automatons of the 'Garm' series, just like Frey's Rabbi, all equipped with the 'Sound Wave Operation' magic circuit."
Seeing these dogs, Rozen couldn't help but fall into silence.
"How about it?" Loki glanced at Rozen as if he had grasped Rozen's thoughts and asked, "Are you surprised that there are automatons of the same type as Rabbi?"
"Indeed, it's a bit surprising," Rozen nodded calmly and said, "Because Rabbi is a Banned Doll, right?"
That's correct. Rabbi is a Banned Doll. Rozen had already discovered this long ago.
Back when he was at Karyusai Shouko's mansion, he could instantly identify that all the dolls of the "Setsugetsuka" series were Banned Dolls, let alone now. Therefore, Rozen had already seen the magical power within Rabbi, which was characteristic of Banned Dolls as they could carry magical power. And since they were Banned Dolls, they certainly had human flesh as their material. The fact that something like this was mass-produced meant what?
It meant that the creators had a large supply of human bodies to use.
Thinking back to Frey and Loki's experiences, Rozen seemed to understand what was going on. However, before he could respond, Loki spoke again.
"Yesterday, in the Department of Medicine, you mentioned that the 'Divine Works,' led by Bronson, received a recommended nomination in the British Army's next-generation main weapon design competition, right?"
Loki referred to his adoptive father without any emotional attachment and continued, "In fact, not only the 'Divine Works,' but many machinart workshops and companies are developing the latest automatons to collaborate with the military. They intend to utilize the Night Party to make a substantial profit."
Utilize the Night Party. This phrase wasn't beyond Rozen's comprehension.
"You're referring to conducting test battles with new automatons at the Night Party, right?" Rozen directly uncovered the meaning behind it.
Although for most people, the Night Party was merely a large-scale entertainment event, as mentioned earlier, its process and results often involved the interests of many. Creating an Automaton like Wiseman, who could ignore taboos and engage in research, was of paramount importance to countries worldwide.
The ultimate winner and favored contenders also involved the interests of underground gambling dens.
Furthermore, the Night Party was entangled with various interests. As Rozen explained, investing new automatons in the Night Party for testing and experimentation was one of them.
The Night Party was a brutally competitive survival game that would produce only one winner and numerous losers, no doubt about that. But at the same time, the Night Party was a gathering of the most brilliant geniuses from around the world.
Sponsors behind these geniuses, to ensure their success and enhance their abilities, provided them with numerous sophisticated and advanced automatons. These automatons, combined with the incredible skills of these geniuses, formed a grand exhibition of machinart from all nations.
As a result, the Night Party would undoubtedly draw various outstanding automatons and the attention of people from all over the world.
In this context, sponsors supporting students who earned the right to participate in the Night Party, especially businesses such as workshops, undoubtedly aimed to introduce new automatons, conduct experiments and testing at the Night Party, and make improvements, ultimately making them universally applicable in this grand international machinart exhibition.
Consequently, such automatons would be used worldwide. When the various countries' military forces that paid attention to the Night Party witnessed this, they would undoubtedly be unable to remain silent.
At that time, workshops that successfully showcased the performance of their developed automatons would receive numerous orders and cooperation opportunities, making huge profits.
Furthermore, conducting experiments and tests at the Night Party was relatively safe and secure. It didn't require engaging in warfare, and the recovery of the units was relatively easy and safe. For many businesses, this was a profitable opportunity.
It might be more accurate to say that most businesses sponsored talented students at the academy for this very purpose. Becoming Wiseman was not something anyone could achieve. Only the military forces of various countries and large enterprises would target this. Ordinary organizations primarily aimed to profit from this, and very few genuinely wanted their sponsored students to become Wiseman.
In the case of the "Divine Works," they might have targeted both sides, right? With a ace like Loki, Bronson was undoubtedly aiming for the position of Wiseman, participating in the British Army's competition for the design of the next-generation main weapon. He hoped to win the competition and then sell the automatons developed by the workshop to the military, earning a massive profit.
As for what "Divine Works" intends to use for testing experiments, the answer has become quite clear.
"It's the 'Garm' series used by Frey and the 'Angel' series used by me," Loki said in a detached tone.
As you know, Frey's 'Garm' series is composed of Banned Dolls, directly modified from dogs, resulting in limited intelligence comparable to that of an ordinary hunting dog.
However, they are easy to handle and control, even a novice puppeteer can use them with ease. Additionally, since they are essentially a group of dogs, they aren't ideal in terms of maintenance. Nevertheless, due to their low production cost, they have value for mass production.
On the other hand, the 'Angel' series was developed by other research institutions, and their individual combat capabilities far exceed the 'Garm' series. These automatons are constructed purely from inorganic materials, which makes them highly reliable in terms of maintenance. However, they come with a high production cost and are challenging to control. Only a highly skilled puppeteer can use them effectively.
"These two series of automatons are the ones that Frey and I are responsible for testing and experimenting with at the Night Party, ultimately deciding which series to use in the competition and sell to the military," Loki's voice sounded particularly cold.
"As for the other series, it will be abandoned."
Upon hearing this, Rozen had a sudden realization, understanding why Frey was so determined to participate in the Night Party.
