Extraordinary Voyage Chapter 553: The power of science
The bright white moon hangs high in the night sky.
Georgia takes the west, the Cumberland Line of Defense, outside a standard outpost with a hundred people garrisoned and complete facilities.
"Roar!"
There was a low roar in the throat, and a bright silver agile figure suddenly flashed in the primordial forest, but it was discovered by the soldiers on duty who had reversed their routines for the first time.
While the searchlight locked it, the arakkoa commander as the chief officer waved his hand suddenly:
"Fire!"
Boom! boom! boom! boom! ...
The soldier in leather trench coat and enchanted windshield lifted up the musket that was already in the activated state, the orange-red gun flames were shining, carrying the faint white lead bullets like a storm to block the figure to dodge Space.
One bullet hit the figure's hind leg, and the other hit the back.
The enemy who was so fast that there was only an afterimage finally appeared in the eyes of ordinary soldiers. This is a silver panther with feathers on its slender limbs.
It's just that the front half of the body is plump and graceful, and there are even a pair of small wings on the shoulder blades, but the back half is skinny, as if there is no fully developed defective product. In the eyes of the soldiers, there was a different and vicious posture.
Currently.
Under the benefit of the spiritual origin spilled from the New World, even the ghosts that are as thin as paper can not be underestimated. Just like the former "headless ghost" Aida, they also have the ability to kill directly. .
As for this silver cheetah, it already possesses the supernatural nature of the wraith level. If it is lucky enough to be enshrined by the Atrians, it is very likely that it will gradually degenerate into a new totem god.
"The transcendent stepped forward to meet the enemy, the grenadier prepared, and the musketeer reloaded."
Following the command of the arakkoa commander, two werewolves jumped up from the array, brandishing a scimitar with a layer of golden sword oil in their hands, and rushing towards the silver cheetah whose speed dropped sharply.
At the same time, a group of grenadiers in the rear have ignited the orb with the fuse in their hands.
According to the habit of arakkoa troops, the best choice at this time is to use the most targeted atomized holy water for "ghosts".
However, the group of believers in the New World is relatively thin, and the holy water that the Black Iron Cross Church can produce is not rich. In this war, the cherished holy water is more used as a medical medicine for the treatment of evil spirits than a weapon.
Fortunately, they also have a substitute that is not bad at all—[Holy Salt Bomb]. The raw material is not table salt used in many church ceremonies, but a red sulphate crystal prepared by witchcraft.
"Drop a bomb!"
Boom boom boom...
The [Holy Salt Bomb] that exploded in the sky spilled a small rain of red crystals, filling the entire space. The two werewolves were nothing unusual, but the silver cheetah seemed to be bathed in sulfuric acid rain, and howled with blue smoke.
"Wow--!"
However, this spirit monster with only bloodthirsty instincts, instead of retreating, but instead launched a decisive counterattack against the werewolf nearest to him, the spirit body became brighter than ever before.
The head that has been soaked in sulfuric acid is as ugly as an evil spirit, and the sharp teeth of the mouth gleam with cold light, stinging the eyes of the werewolf.
Facing the beast's mouth close at hand, the werewolf took a step forward instead of evading. The "wild aura" in the body suddenly burst, and backhand pulled out the dagger with a light red blade on his waist, and slammed it into the core of the natural spirit of the silver leopard.
Boom——
As if the last straw overwhelming the camel, the silver cheetah exploded into the sky and slowly disappeared.
The [Gladiator Talisman] hung on the werewolf's body suddenly lit up, and the trickling spiritual feedback made him drink a bowl of cold water like a June day, and he was refreshed from the bottom of his heart to the tips of his hair.
"Ha!"
"It's just a small character without any special abilities, don't relax, pay attention!"
Through experiments, the maximum interval for the effectiveness of sentry towers is about ten kilometers.
Today, a total of 36 defensive towers have been established on the 350-kilometer-long Cumberland Defense Line, and the total garrison strength has reached 3,600 men. Because of the powerful reinforcements of Yuanfanling, the soldiers can rotate once a month.
The scene happening here is just a microcosm of the entire "Appayachi Line of Defense".
Two months have passed since the first eruption of the spiritual wave today.
A large-scale impact like the first time has never happened, but there are sporadic small groups of spirit monsters attacking the defense line of the kingdom colony. Although there are occasional misses in the middle, it is much better than the beginning. .
In this kind of low-intensity battle, the trained fighters are able to deal with ordinary natural spirits without any special abilities.
During this period, the tactics are gradually being used. What kind of tactics, countermeasures, and weapons are used by different types of enemies. After each typical battle is over, a special person will complete the battle summary and dispatch it to the entire line of defense.
So, in addition to the enhancement of personal combat abilities due to the [Rite of Ifrit], the accumulation of knowledge and combat skills, including morale, have also been improving.
Combat heroes, model pacesetters, advanced collectives, and various titles are also selected once a month before the change of defense. Accompanying honor are generous material rewards and the authority to customize weapons.
Under the combined effect of various policies, there has been no serious war fear, and the overall fighting situation is going well.
Of course, provided that nothing happens.
.......
It is also located in the steel city of the Cumberland Mountains.
Bah!哐!哐! ...
In the huge workshop where steel and wood are mixed, white water vapour looms around, steam forging hammers keep roaring, and various weapons in the hands of craftsmen are rapidly taking shape.
The application of various steam machines here greatly improves the efficiency of sword forging and the manufacture of various weapons.
With ample supply of orders, the arsenal that Ivan expected to be the last to develop has come from behind, and together with Steel City, it has become Georgia's most profitable industry.
Standing at this tuyere that can blow up pigs has made a fortune of war.
Even relying on the workers trained by this batch of orders, and a series of supporting facilities built up by the alchemy apprentices, Ivan has already begun to use the steam drill to secretly trial-produce shipborne artillery!
Although artillery is not very useful in this war against the "spiritual tide". However, the heavy artillery that can be installed on battleships over 24 pounds determines the status of the Georgian leader in the future.
Of course, it's just the beginning for the time being. The main products in the arsenal are still in response to the "spiritual tide."
The change-up was almost completed in two months.
Considering the cost and the difficulty of manufacturing, these are the three main products, the lead bomb soaked with positive energy, the low-level sword oil, and the holy salt bomb.
In addition.
"Bright Starry Night" possesses the clergy of mystery, stars, spiritual gates, prophecy...and so on. It is one of the most mysterious true gods, possessing all kinds of mysterious and unpredictable knowledge and power.
It can be said that the "Starry Night Order" is one of the most adept at dealing with spirit monsters in the material world.
Ivan once brought a "rune silver dagger·breaker" from the "Starry Night Cult", claiming to be able to repel evil spirits and even harm a certain "concept" that constitutes their core.
Experienced their power firsthand.
So he picked out the practical part directly from the mysterious knowledge that Ali attached to. After targeted transformation, it was applied to this large-scale arms production and replaced the original design plan of Aiwen. .
The last light red-edged dagger used by the werewolf is the most typical of them.
This is not some kind of enchanting effect, but derived from a special kind of steel-coral steel.
The main difference between steel and steel is the difference in carbon content. Steelmaking is the process of continuously reducing the carbon content in pig iron.
Wrought iron (wrought iron): C%
In this era, there are two main methods: "Hundred Steel Making Method" and "Frying Steel Method".
To put it plainly, "Hundred Steelmaking Method" means repeated forging after heating to remove impurities and make steel into steel. It is also the main method adopted by most countries' arsenals.
The craftsmen of the Kingdom of Falitis have already walked in front of the countries and pioneered the "steel-frying method" that can make large-scale steel.
The normal procedure is to mash the pig iron into the furnace, and the wind blows in from above. Due to the small volume of the bow-shaped underground furnace, the concentrated heat is not easy to lose, which is beneficial to increase the temperature.
When pig iron is heated to a molten or semi-molten state, the contact surface between iron and oxygen is increased by stirring. It can oxidize the carbon in iron. As the carbon content decreases, the melting point of iron increases, and it begins to solidify gradually.
If you continue to stir in the semi-solid state and use the oxygen in the air to reoxidize the contained carbon, it can become low-carbon wrought iron; you can also control the required carbon content when it is not completely decarbonized. After terminating the speculation process, it can become medium-carbon steel or high-carbon steel.
When I arrived at Aiwen, I chose to fry the mature iron directly, and then add carburizing agent.
The normal carburizing agent is usually charcoal or coal powder, but Ivan has improved this step and replaced it with a name made up of the main materials of Swamp Valley Di, Black Mage Rose, and Agave Flower. It is the potion of 【Red Agent】.
The surface of the final finished steel ingot looks no different from ordinary steel, but the forged weapon's edge is crystallized and has a very obvious coral-like light red.
No additional enchantments are needed to cause powerful damage to the spirit body, which is called Coral Steel.
The most important thing is that it is low cost and can be manufactured on a large scale.
.......
The Wizard Tower.
During this time, Irvine himself was not idle at all.
He is working with An Qi through continuous practice to quickly digest the knowledge of [flesh puppets].
[Flesh Puppets] is the final result of the second volume, but in the series of witchcraft systems extended from this, [Flesh Altar] is the real core of the front.
Mastering the [Flesh Altar], you can finally make a series of applications such as flesh and blood puppets, flesh bombs, flesh and blood chariots... and so on.
And one of the core functions of this witchcraft that integrates multiple abilities is the "violent soldier"!
The premise must have sufficient raw materials.
Because of the "planned scrap" strategy that Ivan initiated at the beginning, although the arms sold to the "Raging Waves Church" are easy to use, they are also consumed very quickly in the war with the sea monsters.
In addition to gold, silver, and precious witchcraft materials, there is one more item in the payment provided by the "Raging Wave Church"-a huge sea monster corpse.
Nothing can provide Ivan with sufficient flesh and blood of transcendent creatures more than sea monsters.
After being digested and absorbed by the flesh and blood altar built with the magic book "The Sacrifice of Flesh" as the core, it becomes the raw material for the reconstruction of the [flesh puppet].
So the environment in the Wizard Tower recently is a bit hard to describe.
If the radical priests of the "eternal fire" are allowed to choose between the "living chemistry school" and the "mechanical immortality school" to destroy one at this time, it is really hard to say which one to choose.
Of course, for Aiwen, there is another most critical use for the [Flesh Altar].
Using the extraordinary flesh and blood of sea monsters, continuously cultivate a trace of "Eternal Spirit Bloodline" that has been stripped through [Blood Transplant].
It's about his third-order road~IndoMTL.com~ This is also one of his projects.
Why does the family of sorcerers diminish in strength as they intermarry with mortals? Why can demonized creatures reproduce stably even though it is more difficult to give birth? Why can demonized creatures continue to increase their bloodline power as they grow up?
The root cause is still extraordinary qualities.
Excellent bodybuilders also need a reasonable nutritional mix if they want to maintain a good physical condition. In addition to normal foods, glutamine, (protein powder) amino acids, creatine, vitamins, minerals... lack.
Extraordinary nature also needs "nutrition" of the same energy level to supplement.
Standing next to the Altar of Flesh and Flesh, watching the traces of extraordinary blood that had grown to the share of two normal adult "Editions", Ivan smiled slightly:
"One of the powers of science lies in its reproducibility!"
Without the support of [Fresh Altar], even if the number of Miss Eidolon doubled, it might not be enough for his research consumption, but now the dawn of squandering seems to be imminent.
