Chapter 553: The power of science

The bright white moon hung 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 mountain forest, but it was immediately discovered by the soldiers on duty who had reversed their routines.
While the searchlight locked it, the arakkoa commander as the chief officer waved his hand sharply:
"Fire!"
boom! boom! boom! boom! ...
The soldier wearing a leather trench coat and enchanting windshield raised the musket that was already in the activated state, and the orange-red gun flames were shining. The lead bullets carrying faint white light blocked the space where the figure dodges like a storm.
One bullet hit the figure's hind leg, and the other hit the back.
The enemy, who had been so fast that there was only a shadow, finally appeared in the eyes of ordinary soldiers. This is a silver panther with feathers on its slender limbs.
It's just that its front body is plump and graceful, and there are even a pair of small wings on the shoulder blades, but the back body is skinny, as if there is no fully developed defective product. In the eyes of the soldiers, there was a different and vicious attitude.
Currently.
With the spillover of the New World's spiritual origins, even 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 itself, 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 order from the arakkoa commander, the 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 had 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 to treat evil spirits than a weapon.
Fortunately, they also have a good substitute—[Holy Salt Bomb]. The raw material is not salt used in many church ceremonies, but a red sulfate crystal prepared by witchcraft.
"bomb!"
Bang bang bang...
The [Holy Salt Bomb] that exploded in the air 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.
"Aw--!"
However, this spirit monster with only bloodthirsty instincts, instead of retreating, but instead launched a decisive counterattack against the werewolf closest to him, the spirit body became brighter than ever before.
The head soaked in sulfuric acid was as ugly as an evil spirit, and the sharp teeth gleamed with cold light, stinging the werewolf's eyes.
Facing the beast's mouth close at hand, the werewolf stepped forward instead of evading. The "wild spiritual light" in the body suddenly burst, and backhand pulled out the dagger with the light red blade on his waist, and slammed it into the core of the natural spirit of this silver leopard.
Bang--
Like the last straw that overwhelmed the camel, the silver cheetah exploded into the sky and slowly disappeared.
The [Gladiator Talisman] hung on the werewolf 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.
"what!"
"It's just a small character without any special abilities, don't relax, watch out!"
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 every month.
The scene happening here is only 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 never happened again, but there were sporadic small groups of spirit monsters attacking the defense line of the kingdom colony. Although there were occasional misses in the middle, it was much better than the beginning.
In this kind of low-intensity battle, the trained fighters can deal with ordinary natural spirits without any special abilities.
During this period, the tactics gradually adjusted. What kind of tactics, countermeasures, and weapons used by different types of enemies? After each battle with a typical meaning, a special person will complete the battle summary and dispatch it to the entire line of defense.
Therefore, in addition to the enhancement of personal combat abilities due to the [Rite of Ifrit], the accumulation of knowledge, combat skills, and morale have also been improving.
Fighting heroes, model pacesetters, advanced collectives, and various titles are also selected once a month before the change of defense. Accompanying honor comes generous material rewards and the authority to customize weapons.
Under the combined effects of various policies, there has been no serious war fear, and the overall fighting situation is going well.
Of course, the premise is that nothing unexpected happens.
.......
It is also located in the steel city of the Cumberland Mountains.
哐!哐!哐! ...
In the huge workshop where steel and wood are mixed, white water vapour looms around, steam forging hammers roar constantly, 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. Together with Steel City, it has become Georgia's most profitable industry.
Standing in this tuyere that can blow the pigs up, I 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 begun to use the steam drill to secretly trial-produce shipboard 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 is only a start for the time being, and the main products in the arsenal are still in response to the "spiritual wave."
The change-up was almost completed in two months.
Considering the cost and the difficulty of manufacturing, these three main products are lead bombs impregnated with positive energy, low-level sword oil, and holy salt bombs, and they are also consumable materials that consume astonishingly fast.
In addition.
"Bright Starry Night" possesses the clergy of mystery, stars, gates of the spirit world, prophecy...and so on. It is one of the most mysterious true gods and holds 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·Break Demon" from the "Starry Night Cult", claiming to be able to repel evil spirits and even harm a certain "concept" that constitutes their core.
I have experienced their power firsthand.
So he directly picked out the practical parts from the mysterious knowledge that Ali relied on. After the targeted transformation, he applied it to this large-scale arms production, and also replaced the original design plan of Aiwen.
The last light red bladed 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 difference between steel and steel is mainly the difference in carbon content. Steelmaking is a process of continuously reducing the carbon content in pig iron.
Wrought iron (wrought iron): C% < 0.0218%; steel: C% 0.0218% to 2.06%; pig iron: C% 2.06-4.3%.
In this era, there are mainly two methods: "Hundred Steel Making Method" and "Frying Steel Method".
To put it bluntly, the "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 national arsenals.
The craftsmen of the Kingdom of Falitis have already walked in front of the countries and pioneered the "fry-steel 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 re-oxidize the contained carbon with the help of oxygen in the air, it can become low-carbon wrought iron; you can also control the required carbon content when it is not completely decarbonized, and stop the frying 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 generally charcoal or coal powder, but Ivan has improved this step and replaced it with a type composed of marsh valley digi, black mage rose, and agave stamen. Potion].
The surface of the final finished steel ingot looks no different from ordinary steel, but the forged weapon blade 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.
.......
Wizard Tower.
During this period of time, Irvine himself was not idle at all.
He is working with An Qi through continuous practice, quickly digesting the knowledge of [flesh puppet].
[Flesh Puppet] 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.
After mastering the [Flesh Altar], you can finally make a series of applications such as flesh and blood puppets, flesh bombs, and flesh chariots.
One of the core functions of this witchcraft, which integrates multiple abilities in one, is the "violent soldier"!
The premise must have sufficient raw materials.
Because of the "planned scrapping" strategy that Ivan initiated at the beginning, the arms sold to the "Raging Waves Church" are useful, but they are consumed very quickly in the war with the sea monsters.
Now, 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 Aiwen with sufficient extraordinarily flesh and blood 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].
Therefore, the environment in the Wizard Tower is really hard to describe recently.
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].
Use the extraordinary flesh and blood of sea monsters to continuously cultivate a trace of "Eye Spirit Blood" that was stripped through [Blood Transplant].
It’s about his third-tier road, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, which is also one of his projects.
Why does the family of sorcerers lose their power as they intermarry with mortals? Why can demonized creatures reproduce stably although it is more difficult to give birth? Why can the power of the bloodline shown by demonized creatures continue to increase in the process of growth?
The root is in the extraordinary traits.
Excellent bodybuilders also need a reasonable nutritional mix if they want to maintain a good physical condition. In addition to normal food, glutamine, (protein powder) amino acids, creatine, vitamins, minerals... are all indispensable.
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 "Ed Spirits", Ivan smiled slightly:
"One of the powers of science lies in its reproducibility!"
Without the assistance 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 profligacy seems to be imminent.
