Chapter 529: Temperature Changes, Colonial Griffon [5K]
After handling the gems, Zong Shen left the cellar, where it was very cool.
It made him not want to go out.
It's like an air-conditioned room in summer, with cool comfort.
However, he only hesitated for a moment and finally walked out of the cellar hut.
Oncoming was a billowing heat wave airflow, and the temperature outside seemed to have risen a lot.
According to this situation, the temperature will definitely reach 45 degrees Celsius by 12 noon.
There is no doubt about this.
At such a temperature, if you stand outside facing the sun, you will easily suffer from heat stroke.
These are all negative effects caused by high temperature.
This is also the most critical part of this challenge.
Excluding the temperature factor, the Balrog Boss must be relatively passive, because it will not actively attack any lord, but will only passively withstand attacks.
Thinking of this, Zong Shen looked at the tower, preparing to check out the situation and adapt to the change in temperature in advance.
He climbed up the tower from the stairs on the side of the tower.
Standing above and looking into the distance.
The earth's light is distorted in the heat wave.
The temperature now is at least 40℃.
Zong Shen had already taken off his battle helmet.
The metal equipment on your body are excellent heat conductors.
The armor is already tight and almost airtight.
Wearing combat boots, leg armor, and armor is like getting into a steamer.
Sweat was pouring out from his body.
Then they gathered together and flowed out from the gaps in the armor.
Zong Shen stood on the tower for a while, leaving two pools of sweat at his feet.
Outrageous! Exaggerated!
But this is indeed true!
After the sweat flowed to the ground, it was completely evaporated in less than half a minute.
Some white powdery salt stains were left behind.
Zong Shen was busy studying the lord's fortress just now, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
Now that he felt it seriously, he realized the power of high temperature.
There is a burning sensation of thirst in the mouth and throat.
This feeling is not strong, but it is a signal.
That means his body has severely lost water.
Zong Shen turned his hand and took out a wooden bucket filled with water.
Hold it with your hands and bring it to your mouth.
"Tons, tons, tons..."
I drank at least a liter of water in one go.
I put the bucket down until my stomach was a little bloated.
The burning sensation in my mouth and throat subsided somewhat.
The sweat on his body made him want to find a lake to take a bath.
"call…"
After taking a breath.
Zong Shen put away the bucket and walked down the tower.
I stood on the shady side of the building to temporarily avoid the blazing sun.
As time goes by, the temperature is rising ruthlessly.
Zong Shen stayed for a while and then left the yard.
Outside, Tasia also stopped showing off and hid next to the tall body of the lion and skeleton knight.
There is a small shadow of the wooden wall there for shade.
The strongest ones are the skeleton knights.
Although they hate sunlight, they are not afraid of temperature changes at all.
Let alone 40℃, even if it is 50℃ or even 60 or 70℃, these guys will not react at all.
Zong Shen walked directly to Tasia, took out the bucket of water and put it aside.
"Drink more water."
"I'm going to the blacksmith shop."
After a hurried explanation, Zong Shen took out the loader mecha.
Braving the scorching sun, they headed towards the farming and pastoral area in the northwest of the territory.
A small piece of pasture was divided there as a temporary resting place for the eagle sauce in its territory.
Zong Shen must first find Yingjiang to join him.
After the loader mecha traveled for six or seven minutes, he came to Yingjiang's side.
Yingjiang also felt the sudden rise in temperature today.
It dug its head into the wings on its side and curled up lazily on the ground.
This temperature is not enough to cause serious negative effects.
At most, I just feel less comfortable than usual.
After hearing the "rumbling" movement of the tracks, Eagle Sauce also poked his head out alertly.
When he saw that the person coming was Zong Shen, he immediately spread his wings and flapped a few times.
"Bah!"
"Hey..."
It made a chirping sound of joy, and the flapping of its wings swept up the hot air.
Unknowingly, Yingjiang also developed an instinctive dependence on Zong Shen.
Although its wisdom is not low.
But Warcraft is still Warcraft after all, and does not hold grudges like humans.
Zong Shen stopped the loader mecha, put it away, and rode on Yingjiang's back.
Compared with Yingjiang's flight speed, the speed of the loader mecha is as fast as a snail.
"Take off, Eagle-chan."
"Let's go to the blacksmith shop and have a look."
After saying that, Zong Shen patted Yingjiang's neck and pointed to the southwest of the territory.
That's where the [Blacksmith Shop] is.
Ying Jiang raised his neck and let out a melodious chirp.
He flapped his wings and soared into the sky, flying towards the direction Zong Shen pointed.
It's only a few kilometers away from here to the [Blacksmith Shop].
It only took half a minute for Eagle Sauce to reach the top of the [Blacksmith Shop].
At this time, Zong Shen patted its neck again.
Yingjiang cleverly fell downwards.
Just outside the blacksmith shop was the set of [Magic Jet Breeding Equipment] he brought before.
After this thing has been modified, front and rear buckles have been added, and it can be equipped on Yingjiang's back like a saddle. As for the position of the two jet cylinders, they are right on the side of the body.
This arrangement is in line with Zong Shen's previous ideas. During fierce battles, the spray system can eject strong airflow to assist in speeding up.
Eagle Sauce landed in the open space outside the [Blacksmith Shop]. It naturally saw the jet breeding suit, but it didn't recognize it at all.
The gryphon's thinking is very simple.
It has wisdom, but it has no knowledge reserve. Knowledge is the real foundation and accumulation.
Therefore, even among intelligent creatures, there are great differences.
Zong Shen nimbly rolled off Yingjiang's back and walked straight into the blacksmith shop.
The dwarf uncle was taking something out of the furnace, and two blacksmith apprentices were also busy beside him.
Today's blacksmith shop is already full of various tasks.
They are the only forging department, or production department, in the territory.
In addition to being responsible for forging equipment, he often needs to forge some small iron things according to the development of the territory.
Such as iron axes for cutting down trees or iron nails for fixing plates, as well as those rough forged and reforged steel plates.
So these days, the blacksmith shop is always in full swing.
Zong Shen quickly walked to the door and shouted proactively.
"Uncle Dwarf."
"I have something nice for you."
The smile on his face was very bright.
After hearing his voice, the dwarf uncle quickly turned around.
He is holding a fire tong in his right hand, with a red-hot iron embryo clamped on it. It seems that he is preparing to forge the iron embryo.
"Sir, you are here!"
"I have completed the modification of the Jet Breeding Suit you asked me to modify."
"Those buckles are all movable. You only need to place them in the designated position and tie them securely, and then they can be firmly fixed on the big griffon."
“Assembling or disassembling is quick.”
"It only requires the cooperation of two strong warriors, and it can be loaded or unloaded in two to three minutes."
The dwarf uncle wiped the sweat from his forehead with his other hand and put the iron embryo back into the furnace.
He wiped his hands stained with black dust on his leather apron.
He didn't ask Zong Shen what he wanted to give him.
Take the initiative to take Zong Shen to check the results of the previously assigned tasks.
The jet suit is quite big.
Of course, if compared with Eagle Sauce, it pales in comparison.
The dwarf uncle briefly introduced the modification part.
Zong Shen also checked carefully.
He was very satisfied with the final transformation result.
So the two of them stood on both sides of the jet suit and lifted it up.
Their strength attributes are not small, so it is very easy to lift this thing.
Yingjiang also followed Zong Shen's order and came to their side. He obediently laid his body on the ground, folded his wings and remained motionless. The two matched each other and first put the front buckle on Yingjiang.
on its neck, and then fix the rear buckles to its lower abdomen from both sides.
In this way, the second half of the jet suit just rests on Yingjiang's back.
Placed near the lower back.
The two jet cylinders hang right on the side of Yingjiang. This position is under its wings and will not hinder its normal flight.
During this period, Yingjiang twisted her body, as if she was wondering what was extra on her body.
It cannot control this jet suit, and a dedicated person must be responsible for turning it on and off during flight.
Therefore, before going into actual combat, Yingjiang must first adapt to the acceleration ability of the jet suit.
Otherwise, when it is confused about this, it suddenly accelerates, which is likely to affect its normal flight. These are all problems that need to be solved later.
After installing the Jet Breeding Equipment, Zong Shen directly took out the [Forged Iron Hammer (Purple)] and handed it into the hands of the dwarf uncle.
"Uncle Dwarf, take it!"
"This wrought iron hammer is just right for you."
Zong Shen held a sledgehammer with one hand and said to the dwarf uncle with a smile.
The dwarf uncle was seen stunned on the spot, and then he took the sledgehammer with both hands.
This was the first time Zong Shen gave him equipment as a gift.
It is very meaningful to the dwarf uncle.
But he was a rough guy, and although he was grateful, he didn't say anything too pretentious.
He just took a few steps back slowly and bowed slightly to Zong Shen.
"Thank you, sir, for the reward."
"I will definitely complete the forging task of the territory."
The dwarf uncle said with a serious face.
Zong Shen just kept smiling at this, and the smile on his face was as gentle as ever.
"Okay, uncle dwarf!"
"Then I won't disturb your work."
"If you need anything, please tell me or Mariel."
After a brief explanation, Zong Shen left gracefully.
At this time, Ying Jiang was still wondering what exactly was on his body.
He kept stretching his neck and turned behind him, probing his head to study.
It wasn't until Zong Shen returned to it that Yingjiang stopped exploring.
At this time, Zong Shen also began to charge the jet equipment.
As a breeding technology, it is also a branch of magic energy products.
There are also control pushrods and charging slots.
Just put the magic crystal into the slot to charge it.
Zong Shen has a lot of experience in using magic machines or mechas.
To him, these things remain the same, and the steps for operation and charging are basically the same.
He chose to fill up the magic power of the jet suit at once, and then returned to Yingjiang's back.
"Let's go, Yingjiang flies up to the sky to take a look."
"Let you try the power of this new gadget."
Zong Shen put his head on Yingjiang's neck and said in a relaxed tone.
Although Yingjiang could roughly understand his orders, she didn't understand their specific meaning.
Its wisdom told him that what its owner said might be related to the new gadget it carried on its back.
"Bah!"
Yingjiang chirped in response.
Then it flapped its wings and took off, quickly rising to an altitude of more than a thousand meters.
This time it was just an experiment, so Zong Shen randomly designated a direction and let it fly towards the north.
The access to the mountains and forests there should not be affected.
Yingjiang obeyed the instructions, flapped her wings and turned to the north, gradually starting to speed up.
After about another minute or so, its flight speed increased to the maximum.
At this time, Zong Shen reached out and touched its neck and said comfortingly.
"Yingjiang, be prepared, don't panic."
"Experience the feeling of acceleration this time."
After saying that, he turned back and crawled backwards, came to the console of the empty jet suit, and pushed the jet push rod.
The propulsion power is also divided into several gears.
From first gear to third gear.
The first gear is a propulsion speed of 60 kilometers per hour, the second gear is a propulsion speed of 90 kilometers per hour, and the third gear is the maximum propulsion speed, with a speed of 120 kilometers per hour.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, the above are the speed of empty row advancement.
Because [Magic Jet Breeding Equipment] can be equipped not only for aerial monsters, but also for some special ground monsters.
However, the speed can only be increased to a maximum of 65 kilometers per hour on the ground.
Therefore, it is most cost-effective and appropriate to equip it on an aerial monster.
After he made his putt in first gear.
The two sets of jet cylinders on Yingjiang's side turned to the rear, and the turbofans in them began to rotate.
A stream of air spurted out, forming two white air columns.
Yingjiang, who was flying, felt an extra thrust behind him out of thin air, which increased his speed by a small amount again.
Got some jetliner feel.
Hawk-chan himself looked behind him in surprise.
The acceleration of 60 kilometers per hour is not too abrupt, which is equivalent to an increase in speed of about 10%.
He quickly adapted to the thrust.
At this time, Zong Shen pushed the push rod again to increase the power to the second gear.
The two jet cylinders made a "whirring" sound.
Behind Yingjiang, there were also two white tracks.
The propulsion speed increased again, reaching 90 kilometers per hour.
Yingjiang's body trembled slightly, and the increase in second gear speed required it to adapt again.
He began to change the flapping frequency of his wings, and it took him more than ten seconds to adapt to the speed increase in the second gear.
Zong Shen was very satisfied with the performance of Yingjiang. After it stabilized slightly, he activated the third gear of acceleration, which could increase the propulsion speed to 120 kilometers per hour.
After adding the speed of Yingjiang itself, its top speed can reach more than 700 kilometers per hour.
You know, the speed of jet airliners on earth is only eight or nine hundred kilometers per hour.
One can imagine how terrifying Ying Jiang's current speed is.
After accelerating in third gear, Ying Jiang's body briefly lost control.
The sudden increase in thrust caught it off guard.
However, Yingjiang is after all a dominant dragon-veined griffin. After emergency adjustments, he regained control of his flying posture.
“Well done, Eagle Sauce”
Zong Shen returned to the back of its neck, stretched out his hand and patted it heavily a few times, as an encouragement.
The air flow swept up by the high-speed flight made his eardrums buzz.
Zong Shen didn't mind either and continued to advance in third gear just to allow Yingjiang to adapt to such a speed.
After it fully adapted, Zong Shen chose to turn off the jet breeding suit.
This thing consumes ten points of mana every second, and thousands of points have been consumed in just these few minutes.
However, [Magic Jet Breeding Equipment] does significantly improve flight speed.
At critical moments, emergency acceleration can definitely play a big role.
After turning off the magic energy jet equipment, the two sets of jet cylinders also changed direction and faced downward again. The turbofans in them stopped running, and the accompanying thrust disappeared.
Now Yingjiang can roughly understand that what made it accelerate before was the thing on its back.
"唷!!"
It chirped again.
It's a pity that Zong Shen can't understand the bird's song, and can only feel its surprised emotions through the contract.
The interim testing has now been completed.
Facts have proven that Eagle Sauce can perfectly adapt to the Magic Jet Breeding Equipment.
Zong Shen was relieved.
So he gave the order to return.
It's now less than 20 minutes before 12 noon, and the troops should have already begun to gather.
Defeating the Balrog boss is a big deal, and requires careful preparation.
Nowadays, when the weather is hot, it is necessary to prepare a water bag for each soldier to carry with him to replenish water.
These are all things to worry about.
In addition, mobilization before the expedition is also essential, because there are many new warriors joining the territory.
Zong Shen is not familiar with this group of warriors, and this collective battle is a good opportunity to cultivate feelings.
As a qualified lord, you must get along well with your subjects.
Zong Shen was very aware of this.
After all, the citizens are not tool people or NPCs without emotions, they also have their own emotions.
Even with a guarantee of loyalty, Zong Shen still hopes to have a good relationship with them so that everyone can use their subjective initiative.
It turns out that this is a very important point.
So far, there are still many lords who regard their subjects as tools.
This is actually wrong.
Those ordinary citizens also have great potential, which can be seen from the changes in Mariel's qualifications.
Their acquired changes cannot be ignored.
As long as the lord trains them well, the quality of the people will become higher and higher.
