Chapter 2048: Automation Factory

The Sherman Tank that came out was nothing like what the previous System had created. How the previous System made the Sherman Tank by buying an original tank from the black markets and later copying it into its database, subsequently using it for the dungeon instance.

As for the one that was created by the Automation Factory, the Sherman Tank looked even more simple than the one that the previous System had created. All it entailed was merely two seats, one for the driver and one for the shooter. There were no controls other than two holes for them to plug in a pair of crystal crafted hand controllers which would handle all the commands.

(Imagine driving or shooting a tank using two Nentendo controllers)

From the shooter's seat, one can use the crystal control handles to magically load the tank shells that were stored at their back while from the driver's seat, one can drive merely using those two sticks. It was a very simple concept that utilised the use of magic to control everything. After all, Jin did not have the knowledge nor the know how on how to build a tank.

But if he could get the tank to move with magic, that would be another whole ball game. And not to his surprise, he and Kraft happened to open up the insides of the tank to see what kind of components were in there. There were actually bones and muscles like features within the tank, indicating that it was not as mechanical as one thought it would be.

"Does this mean that I can actually cut the tank in half and maybe be able to regenerate the tank back again?" Kraft asked with curiosity.

"How would I know, I merely focused on the creation of this automation factory. If they are really semi living muscle fibres to create this tank, I definitely had no say in that." Jin said as he went to touch it, and it gave a slight feedback despite having no crystal control handles being inserted.

"I assumed that those crystal control handles are being created in this automation factory as well?" Kraft asked as he too had a touch on the muscles, this time, an entire palm being placed on it. The feedback could be felt initially and later there was nothing moving at all until Kraft inserted a little chi inside which caused it to vibrate a little to the energy given.

"Yea. Those crystal control handles would have to be manually crafted in this place. Not through automation. That's one of the jobs that I am going to offer.

Only through the crafting of the crystals, the robot arms will do a mass batch manufacturing to put the programming of the tank into the handles." Jin said as he already pulled out four well crafted crystals and he used his magic to levitate it to one of the giant arms, enabling it to start working on it.

It did not take more than 20 seconds that the crystal control handles to be done which Jin took via magic telekinesis and later threw two of those handles to Kraft. Since there was time, they were going to bring it for a spin outside the automation factory.

The Crystal Control Handles fitted very nicely and because of their previous knowledge of maneuvering the tank, they were able to move it rather smoothly. By inserting some Maqi or chi into the crystal controls, a very clear holographic screen emerged for both driver and shooter and the control pedals were responsive as well. It was a well mixed of magic, and modern innovation altogether

"This is so much different from the previous System. It feels like I am one with the tank." Jin commented.

"May because what you are controlling is something more synthetic compared to mechanical? That's why?" Kraft said as he too inserted his chi this time with even more poof into it and the tank powered up so much that it started to move like a racing car through the wild plains that the automation factory was hiding from. It was at that point, that he was itching to try and destroy something.

"No. Kraft. Do not ever think about it. Do you think it's that cheap to bring up such an isolation barrier?" Jin said as he also put Maqi into his crystal crafted handles to put up the emergency brakes.

"I doubt so? If they are so delicate, they should be destroyed and I can do a better one."

"It is precisely delicate when it comes to you that I do not dare to let you try it!! I do not have the strength to compete against you since I just created the Automation Factory."

"Aw come on. This place is too peaceful for my own liking. You might be building forces and creating dungeons for the people to fight but I am doing nothing!" Kraft yelled back as he overrode the brakes and started to move forward even faster.

"Fine! Fine! I will open up the barrier just a little for us to slip through! Just give me some fucking time to do so!" Jin said but Kraft was not showing any signs of stopping at all and the King can only trust his spell could open up a wall tiny enough for them to slip through before the devil smashes into it and break the entire isolation barrier.

"Nope, too slow!" Kraft said as he slammed on the acceleration pedal while inserting yet even more chi into the crystal crafted handles that it was moving at 250km/hour, zooming through and breaking trees as he drove through them.

There was even a village that they went passed and it was fortunate that there was no one in the streets for that moment of time. (It was so scary that later Gara sent the Commando Mages an emergency sortie to check if it was a monster or not.)

Soon, they were reaching towards the makeshift barricades that the soldiers were doing and when a recruit saw the impending doom rushing towards him, all he could do was to process what was happening rather than shouting for help or tell people to get away.

"RIGHT! RIGHT! RIGHT!" Jin yelled and Kraft turned just in time, barely scrapping the sides of him, leaving him to have a wind shear cut through his arm. The isolation barrier also opened up punctually for the Sherman Tank to get out of the kingdom before abruptly closing and Kraft finally allowed the vehicle to slow down and halt on its own.

Needless to say, it was a roller coaster of its own and all the soldiers that were stationed at the Northern Region immediately went to arms hiding behind the isolation barrier and reporting the unidentified object that went past them.

It was not until Jin slowly came out and told them to cease any actions that they finally put their weapons down. It was then he used his Maqi to create visible words from the barrier and told them that one of his inventions had gone out of control a little. (Visible words because the barrier was blocking sound from coming through too.)

Eventually, the Commando Mages also came and saw that their King was outside the barrier and subsequently understood the situation that was happening. They later also decided to station themselves with the soldiers in order to aid the King if necessary...because all that ruckus did bring some trouble of its own.

The Demons were coming out from their nested areas and all those things had begun to surround the tank that Jin and Kraft were riding. The only upside was that they were aware of the demons too.

"Hmm...can I destroy this tank? I really want to see if it regenerates." Kraft said as he stretched his fingers and they gave the popping sounds of the joints, indicating that the Devil itself was ready to rumble.

"Probably later? Since there are quite a bunch as our audience, we should at least show what this bad girl can do to further promote and spread rumours throughout the region." Jin said as he returned to his seat and started to use his magic to automatically arm the Sherman Tank.

"Oh please. There is no need for advertisement. Just one shot from this baby and they would be mesmerised by this, just as how they did with the Wand Rifles. Don't you know that people were dying to go into the military because of those weapons? They want to see how it truly works." Kraft said as he now poured some chi and magic into the tank which caused the battle weapon to shake a little.

"Oh...? Looks like this baby girl can still grow." Kraft smirked as he poured even more magic into it, further proving his theory.

"What are you doing to the Sherman Tank? The demons are coming close already!" Jin said as he aimed at one of the Giant Demon Spiders.

"You will see. Just take the shot."
