Chapter 613: Distillation and Dragon Slaying Weapons

After explaining a few words to Leiden, Xia Duo returned to the Tower of Time overnight, contacted Cecily to get a pile of glass jars from the supplies, and then randomly found a workplace in the public floor and started to work.
The first thing he made was a distillation device. There is no such equipment in the Tower of Time. Although the Tower of Time also produces a small amount of magic potion, the magic potion is not so much a "medicine", it is more a kind of liquid magic. article.
The producer does not need to understand pharmacology at all, and does not need many complicated production tools. Xia Duo can only choose to make it himself. Fortunately, as long as there is ready-made glass, it is not difficult to make.
In other words, compared to the Mithril components, which are complex in structure and require precision, this distillation decoration that does not require high precision and complex structure is very simple.
After a while, Xia Duo produced a large distillation flask and a long condenser tube.
Then he took out a barrel of low-alcohol ale used as a water reserve from the portable space, scooped some with a distillation flask, then connected the condenser tube and placed it directly on the alchemy array.
Although Chardonnay didn't know the boiling point of alcohol and water in this world, there was always a difference. At most, it was water coming out of the condenser.
The temperature in the distillation flask gradually increased, and some mist gradually appeared on the top of the flask. Xia Duo stopped the temperature rise in time, and it didn't take long for the first drop of liquid to finally flow out from the other end of the condenser.
There is no need to actually taste it, the pungent breath has said everything.
Having roughly mastered the distillation temperature, Xia Duo set up the container, and went to the other end of the experimental platform, found a chair to sit down, and began to design the dragon-slaying weapon.
Of course he didn't make the wine for himself. Chateau didn't like the smell of alcohol, and he also hated the feeling that his consciousness was no longer in control. He did this only to ask Broto the dwarf of Saville to help him build weapons.
Although the Tower of Time has ready-made fine gold, it can be processed into any shape through the alchemy array, but there are differences in internal stress, toughness, and rigidity between the appearance and actual use.
There is a master forging hammer to help a few times, not to mention anything else, even psychologically, it feels better.
Moreover, directly using pure pure gold is not necessarily the best choice. As far as there are alloys on the earth, there may not be no more powerful pure gold alloys.
...
If you want to slay a dragon, the most ideal weapon is of course the bow and arrow. It can damage the target without contact, but in practice, this is not the case.
Xia Duo had seen the green dragon phantom during the snow melting competition. With such a huge body and covered with scales, how could it be possible that a few arrows could kill it?
Unless it is a magic arrow with special lethality.
If you want to kill the dragon with ordinary weapons, not to mention impossible, at least you must have the ability to break the dragon scales. "Sharpness" is the first element. In theory, as long as it is sharp enough, perhaps a single string is enough to kill the dragon.
Of course, it is impossible to make such a weapon in reality, so we need to consider "sturdiness". After all, no matter how to break the dragon scales, it is essentially the impact of two materials.
If it is not strong enough, "sharp" will have no basis for existence.
Xia Duo didn't expect to be able to kill with a single blow, so the weapon must be considered that it can be used multiple times. In addition, the size of the weapon is also very important. After all, this time the imaginary enemy is a dragon, so I can't take a dagger to kill the dragon!
Of course, when designing weapons, Xia Duo didn't need to consider too many factors. Even if it was just a fantasy, it was the forger that was difficult, not himself.
Xia Duo designed a total of three weapons, a javelin, which is actually an enlarged version of the arrow (head), and a machete. If you have to fight melee, you might try this.
The first two are basically very conventional, even if the style of the machete is different from the mainstream melee weapon of Netheril, it is always a melee weapon.
What he really fancyed was the last weapon-the flying shuttle, of course it could be called the "flying sword".
Xia Duo once used the [Flight Technique] to control the [Blade of Veto] in the projection plane to attack, although there were various drawbacks, such as not fast enough, not flexible enough, and the control time after impact was greatly reduced.
But it is undeniable that this is almost the cheapest "magic weapon".
In Xia Duo's mind, it can almost be compared with the electromagnetic gun, but unfortunately, in this world, "electricity" is not the movement of electrons, but the manifestation of elements. Of course, "magnetism" cannot be produced.
"Magnetism" is also the realization of another element, which can be transformed into "electricity", but it is not only possible with a metal coil. Xia Duo hasn't figured out how to transform it.
In this magical world, the macroscopic physical manifestations of various substances are very similar to those on the earth, but once the material nature is involved, it is completely different.
The most obvious example is [Flying Art], which is similar to anti-gravity. This is no different from manipulating time and space on earth. It requires powerful energy, but in this world, it is only a 3-level spell.
If you just want to simply levitate, even a 0th ring [Mage's Hand] can do it.
Obviously, the time and space and matter of these two worlds are completely different in nature, even if some physical phenomena are so similar.
It is theoretically possible to make an electromagnetic gun in the magical world, but it can only be said to be a "magnetic" projectile weapon, which has nothing to do with electricity. In terms of achievable difficulty, it is actually far less easy than [Flying Swordsmanship], which is pointed to by the series of change spells in [Flying Art]. After all, he is not a professional designer of cold weapons. Just let Broto perfect it a bit. The spirits (alcohol) that he distilled himself and hardly exist in the market are not so easy to drink.
It is the flying shuttle, which needs to be carefully designed, mainly to integrate the [air-breaking array] into the flying shuttle. This magical technology derived from the ancient wizard magic arrow can create a miniature vacuum environment around the arrow body. (Chapter 242)
This is also the main reason why the magic arrow is silent. As for the speed, there are other blessings of the magic circle, Xia Duo has not resolved it yet.
However, he has long developed a special [Swordsmanship], in terms of speed, he believes that this spell will not slow down.
...
A little bit of time passed, and there was a pungent smell of alcohol in the workshop. Xia Duo added some original wine to the distilling flask from time to time. After that, he returned to the other end of the experimental platform and continued to design the shuttle weapon.
The design of magic weapons is far more complicated than the design of ordinary magic items. The most troublesome thing is that the mithril components of magic weapons must be designed on the surface of the weapon.
After the weapon is finished, it can be added to it, instead of the common magic item, the Mithril component can be given priority, and the appearance is only attached.
The shape of the magic weapon is the main body.
Fortunately, Xia Duo was not without the slightest preparation before. He had been designing his own flying sword, but he could not parse the [speed] related spells from the magic arrow, and he had no special needs for flying swords before. The design has long since fallen into a state of stagnation.
Now it is just regaining the previous progress, and it can be regarded as a familiar road.
