Bang, bang, bang, clang, the magic steam train was running fast on the rails, and the scenery on both sides receded one after another, making the elf girl Nuo Daniel dizzy when she took this kind of transportation for the first time.
Woohoo! The whistle suddenly sounded, and the magic steam train slowly stopped.
"What's going on?" Although the elf girl Nodaniel is boarding the magic steam train for the first time, she is a girl who likes to listen to the "mysterious voice". She has a general understanding of the operation of the magic steam train and knows that she often has to stop at the station.
It means something is wrong.
Elestine had been to the Magic Council several times, and she immediately noticed something unusual, so she cast herself a natural magic "Eagle Eye" and looked at the edge of the forest in the distance.
In the narrow strip between the forest and the railway tracks, groups of crazy wild animals are desperately attacking humans on the opposite side.
There are hundreds of these humans, wearing standard silver-gray mail and sturdy helmets, standing in three rows, holding black "metal sticks" in their hands.
The attacking animals were originally just very ordinary creatures, including tigers, jackals, rabbits, goats, etc., but now, their bodies are covered with blood-red scales, and fishy yellow pus flows from the gaps between the scales, and their eyes
Red, full of killing and bloodthirsty desires.
"Demonization? A high-level demon has sneaked out from the Stroop Forest?" Ellestine said in slight shock. For her, this scene was too familiar, because not long ago, when the gap in the abyss changed, Si
Animals in Troup Forest have undergone similar changes!
Nuo Daniel also blessed himself with the "Eagle Eye Technique" and said thoughtfully: "When the gap in the abyss suddenly expanded, the Great Elder was busy dealing with the Bloody King and the Demon Duke. The other demons all relied on the tribe and the people in the town of the Nameless Man.
It’s normal for adventurers to resist and make some omissions...”
"These demonized animals are very dangerous. How can the Kingdom of Holm only send soldiers at the level of knights and attendants to deal with them?" Elestine regards guarding and sealing the Stroup Forest as the responsibility of the elves, so seeing this
After this situation, I felt a little guilty in my heart. Something like this would never have happened in the first place. Who knew that Lord Lancil had been blinded by greed.
She stood up and was about to open the window of the VIP carriage, fly over and use natural magic to help the human soldiers deal with the demonized animals.
Bang bang bang! After a series of sounds, the vast bloodthirsty animals seemed to have been hit hard by an invisible giant hammer and fell to the ground one after another, with blood spilling out.
"What is that?" Only then did Elestine really notice that these human soldiers were holding "long black metal sticks" that looked almost the same.
Nuo Daniel took a closer look and suddenly remembered something: "This is very similar to the high-pressure steam rifle of the dwarf steam civilization!"
Although the steam civilization of the dwarves is a lost civilization, the elves have a long life, which has lasted from the mythical era to the present. They have collected a very rich collection of various documents and classics, and they also have a deep understanding of it.
"There is no high-pressure steam backpack...no smoke...it also relies on launching high-speed projectiles to damage the enemy. It can be compared with the attack of a formal knight..." Elestine blessed herself with other "telescope" nature gods.
Skill, carefully distinguishing the difference between this weapon and a high-pressure steam rifle.
Bang bang bang! The human soldiers were divided into three rows, two rows squatting and one row standing upright. They took turns shooting, taking out brass-colored projectiles from their pockets and loading them into their "rifles".
Based on the feedback from natural magic, Elestine discovered that these projectiles were engraved with simple magic patterns, and they exuded a faint smell of alchemical substances.
Bang bang bang!
Although the demonized animals are very fast and close to the official knights, their red eyes only see the enemy on the opposite side. They just want to tear the opponent into pieces and eat them alive. The direction of action is easy to be locked. In addition, the shooting area of the volley is wide.
You can't hide from one shot, but you can't hide from a row, so before long, their number decreased sharply, and the ground was covered with corpses.
"With this kind of weapon, the underlying strength of the Kingdom of Holm has increased significantly." Ellestine said in a low voice, "They can organize more legions and be able to harm the legions of official knights."
The elf girl Nodaniel shook her head: "What's the use? When encountering high-level professionals, they will be slaughtered without the ability to resist, just like the original steam civilization. Moreover, when encountering mid- to low-level people with long-range attack methods,
High-level magicians and knights will also suffer heavy losses."
"High levels are also promoted from middle and low levels." Ellestine looked at the battle in the distance and said, "If weapons and armor could be mass-produced, just like those popular alchemy items, at least those below high levels would
During the battle, the Kingdom of Holm and the Magic Council will have a great advantage
In the past, a knighthood could have up to five hundred knights, and a kingdom could have up to three or four such knights. The attendants basically had no role. But now, if weapons and armor can be popularized, it means a lot to the kingdom.
More knights have been added - there are few knights, but there are many knights and squires, and more ordinary people can become squires!
Elestine continued: "And who knows if the Magic Council has developed more powerful and more accurate weapons, similar weapons for middle and low-level knights to use."
"If there were similar weapons with a longer range and faster speed, like our family's excellent magic longbow, and combined with anti-prophecy arrangements, wouldn't it be possible to hide far away, and there would be no triggered or passive spells?
The magician's head exploded?" Nodaniel had listened to "Mysterious Voices" too much and had a special feeling about having his head exploded.
At this time, the conductor responsible for receiving them, a mid-level magician, came in and planned to explain to them the reason for the sudden stop.
After hearing their conversation, he smiled and said: "By the time that kind of weapon is developed, the defensive magic against it must have been created long ago, and by then, magic such as spell triggering may have become mid-level spells.
."
His energy was filled with the unique confidence of the council mages in recent decades, confidence in the great arcane magicians, the Supreme Council, the high-level arcanists, the overall upward atmosphere of the Magic Council, and the prospects for the development of arcane magic!
"I believe in the research capabilities of the parliament." Ellestine expressed her goodwill.
Nodaniel asked curiously: "I heard that after Mr. Evans proposed the observer effect, the parliament's research on the microscopic field fell into trouble?"
In order to satisfy the curiosity of ordinary people, "Voice of Arcana" has also added programs similar to "Arcane and Magic Herald".
The train conductor said slightly awkwardly: "There is just a dispute over why microscopic particles show such strange properties. There is no answer that is convincing to most people, but it does not mean that research in the microscopic field has come to a standstill.
, For example, the in-depth research on fission reactions by Your Excellency the Lord of Storms, Your Excellency the Ruler of Elements, and Your Excellency the Atom Controller is likely to allow us to obtain a better source of energy."
"Fission, this pollution seems to be very serious..." Elestine frowned.
The battle in the distance suddenly changed. Among the few mutant animals left, a goat suddenly jumped out.
Its appearance changed rapidly, and a pair of bat-like wings sprouted from its back, making it look like a near-high-level demon!
Elestine's face turned serious. Sure enough, a powerful demon had sneaked out of Stroop Forest.
Just when she was about to go to the rescue, suddenly a silver-white electric snake-like light lit up, which was extremely dazzling, like an explosion of lightning.
When the electric light flashed, the air seemed to be pushed away, and the demon didn't even have a chance to dodge. The upper half of its body leaned back and exploded with a bang, and the flesh and blood corpses fell charred and black.
"This is..." Elestine saw a knight wearing silver-gray armor appearing at the edge of the forest. He had brilliant blond hair and a handsome and resolute appearance. He was holding a silver-white weapon with complex shapes and smooth lines in his hand.
rifle".
The conductor looked at this scene and took a breath: "It is the Gauss rifle developed by Mr. Evans. It can only be used by strong men close to the Sky Knights and high-level magicians. Due to the inability to mass-produce, there are only three of them at present. He sees
Here comes Grand Knight John of the Knights of the Sword of Truth.”
Nodaniel breathed a sigh of relief. If this kind of weapon is mass-produced and the user has no strength limit, then high-level experts will be threatened to some extent!
Woo hoo · bang, bang, bang, bang! After the battlefield in front was cleaned up, the magic steam train restarted.
Allinge, inside the Institute of Atomic Research.
Heidi is taking her new friends Elestine and Nodiel to visit this famous place.
The two elves were full of praise for the fantasy and mysterious style of the research institute. However, they felt that it did not match nature and had too strong a sense of manufacturing, as if it was evidence and symbol of the magician's conquest of nature.
"A few days ago, when Mr. Lazar used an electromagnetic cyclotron to conduct nuclear bombardment experiments, he successfully prepared a new element, a stable new element, and a new element that can be placed in the periodic table of elements." Heidi said proudly.
Pointing to the electromagnetic cyclotron in front of him.
This is the first step that magicians have taken in the field of creation under the guidance of New Alchemy. No one will ever question the correctness of New Alchemy in this regard. It can really allow magicians to combine other elements.
Make gold that is stable and does not disappear when the magic effect ends! Although this requires finding a suitable method, if there is a theoretical basis, it is just a matter of more experiments.
Elestine stared blankly at the electromagnetic cyclotron in front of her and was speechless for a long time. Did the magicians really begin to gain the authority of nature's creation under the radiance of Mr. Evans's new alchemy?
Seeing this, Nuo Daniel changed the topic: "Heidi, how is the progress of your artificial intelligence?"
Heidi said angrily: "Our research group is assembling a trial product using electron tubes and magic arrays. The teacher said that no matter how much you think about this, it is better to actually complete one so that you can find the specific problem. Due to the size and weight of the design
It is a bit too big, and the expected computing speed is not enough. Many magicians say that it is probably useless... Everything needs to be improved slowly! When the research on crystals is more in-depth, I believe that artificial intelligence will be the key to
Calculation, golem, a great addition to alchemical life!”
She currently only hopes to reach this level.
Listening to Heidi's complaints, Ellestine and Nodaniel looked at each other and smiled, comforting her.
Inside the Arlinge Magic Tower, in front of the secret door leading to the core of the Sky City.
"Teacher, have you completed the structure of the fission reactor?" Lucien made a guess as soon as he saw the destination.
Although he differed greatly from Lucien in terms of the observer effect, Fernando would not be hostile to Lucien because of this and still maintained a good teacher-student relationship. He nodded and said: "Based on your opinions, we will improve
After completing part of the model, a preliminary reactor was completed as a backup energy source for Arlinge.
After they reversely analyzed the fission reaction, they started research in this area. However, because the analysis was not detailed enough and they did not have the most complete understanding of the role of neutrons, etc., the progress was not very fast. It was only recently completed with the help of magic.
A fission reactor whose output energy is greater than the input energy.
Rentat, a workers' district where dwarves live.
The great elder Augustus was devoutly worshiping a silver-gray steel object. At this time, Harold ran in and first covered his eyes and saluted: "Steam is on top."
Then, he put down his right hand and said to Augustus: "Great Elder, there is a fellow outside who claims to be from the Dwarf Kingdom. He says that he is the messenger of the great God of Steam."
