The powerful spellcaster walked into the noisy and fiery workshop without hesitation.
He watched the flow of molten iron and the roar of machinery; he watched the machine tool cutting blanks like soft mud. When he encountered something he didn't understand, he would ask questions.
Sometimes he would even try to operate it all in a normal way. After all, if he just wanted to do something, with his spellcasting level, he would be able to do any action he could imagine without any difficulty.
As he walked, he looked at the scene. He looked a little different from ordinary visitors. He was slightly silent, and his reaction was not as intense as other people who saw the factory for the first time.
This made Polu start to doubt that he had ever seen such a production process.
Before he could help but ask, the spell caster spoke first:
"This factory of yours is much better than the Alchemy Association's current workshop that can only make some clocks, bathtubs and lamps!"
Polu didn't know how to answer.
"I heard that you have made some weapons that can fight against giants? A few ordinary people can use them? And the short spears fired are powerful enough to penetrate their plate armor?"
The Archmage quickly matched these weapons with things he knew.
"Indeed, which one are you talking about?"
"How many more kinds are there?"
There was a look of surprise on the Archmage's face, and he turned around: "I am referring to the fire giant's full-body plate armor with a shoulder-mounted steel shield for protection."
If it were just a giant plate armor, many existing weapons could penetrate it, but that steel shield was like a running T34 front armor. If you want to penetrate it, you must consider the angle.
Bolu sighed: "Then there is only one kind."
He clicked on a round steel column not far away from him that was emitting dark red light: "This is it, it has the strongest penetrating power."
It was an artillery embryo that was being rotated and forged on the forging machine. The Archmage stopped in front of the guardrail. He looked at the dark red steel column with a serious face and asked without looking back:
"What level of spell strength is the attack power close to?"
"We don't know yet. None of us really know how to equate attack power with spell strength."
"Is there a sample of this weapon that can actually be used? I'm still interested and can help you test it."
Since Party A made such a request, the visiting group moved to the shooting range by the river. Before Polu could ask how to test, he saw the Archmage walking towards the place where the muzzle was pointing with a relaxed expression.
"No way! Is it what I think!?"
Boru howled miserably in his heart.
"Come on, attack me with all your strength."
I don’t know what method the mage used, but the voice seemed to be speaking directly in my ear.
"Really? This thing's attack power is still very strong. I'm a little scared if I attack you directly."
"It's okay, fight quickly, I'm not afraid of you, what are you afraid of?"
It was the first time that Polu saw such a fierce man. After all, even Leonardo did not dare to do such a thing. He turned to face Zhu Yiwei who looked relaxed: "Teacher, please don't do such a thing.
Son, what should I do if I get hurt?"
"You can fight casually. If you can hurt him, he will lose. If you trigger his spell sequence, he will lose."
She waved her hand indifferently.
Under the impatient urging of the Archmage, Bolu had no choice but to bind the shooting elements and launched his first attack at the Archmage at a distance of 100 meters.
The time it took for the steel rod to fly from the muzzle to 100 meters was not even a blink of an eye. A hemispherical shield filled with a very complex magic circle popped up on the Archmage who was still standing with his hands behind his back. The shield was slightly
It shook twice, and a spark flew out, as if something was spinning and flying out.
A slightly surprised voice came from the front: "Not bad! Come again, the shield has jumped out anyway, use your fastest rate of fire! Attack with all your strength!"
This time Polu no longer hesitated. He pulled Leonardo, who was acting as a loader, and fired 5 shells in 15 seconds. These shells just created a spark on the transparent and beautiful shield until
The sixth shell hit the shield. The shield, which had not replenished its energy, finally shook and dissipated into the air. At the same time, the Archmage's figure also disappeared from the target position.
"Not bad. It's a pity that it can't talk about spell strength."
The sound that suddenly appeared next to the cannon startled the two of them.
"This level of attack power can play a lot of roles, but this launch component is really bulky. It is indeed a good choice for defense, but the attack method is a bit single, it is purely a physical attack. When encountering a shield,
The attack energy will be converted once, and the loss is not small. It is quite suitable for dealing with those stupid big guys."
He looked at Polu and Leonardo who were operating the artillery.
"Although the program is a bit complicated and tortuous, it is not bad for ordinary people to get such attack power. It is enough to deal with ordinary giants. Is this thing fast to build?"
"We haven't processed it at full capacity, but at least it won't be very slow."
"I need a lot."
Polu smiled bitterly: "Master, you saw what just happened. If you place an order now, we may not be able to manufacture it."
"Didn't your teacher say you are going to Star Island? Star Island also has a workshop."
"But it can't be done without these machines, and these machines are not easy to build."
"It's a small matter, since that's the case, mark the things you have to bring. Including craftsmen, it would be best if you can bring skilled craftsmen."
"Anything is okay? Can you bring all the equipment here?"
If possible, Boru would even want to tow away all the small gunboats! Star Island, Star Island, it sounds like it should be surrounded by sea?
However, the Archmage seems to have discovered something!
"No! Don't try to take advantage of it!"
Polu secretly asked Lang: "Teacher, this great mage is so powerful. If he is here, do we need to leave?"
Landau raised his eyelids: "He can't stay here forever, and he can't be here at any time. He can come to help you once, but he won't be able to come again next time if there's nothing he's interested in. Do you want to leave?
"
Then decide to run!
Polu began to organize his team to prepare for the evacuation. The assistants from the institute were obviously those who could be taken away. Polu, the familiar craftsmen, also visited them one by one. After these upright and familiar craftsmen knew what happened,
They all felt aggrieved, and they knew best what kind of efforts Bolu had made for Hongshan.
Polu has already found an opportunity to discuss with the Archmage. They serve Xingdao, and Xingdao provides shelter for Polu's people, making the devices needed by Xingdao, and completing the orders placed by Xingdao, with various contents.
, from buildings to machinery, the number is staggering, it feels like the construction of Xingdao that has been delayed for many years is completed in one go.
"There are mines in the place where you are going to be settled, but there has been no manpower to develop it. It is a bit desolate. Yes, you can farm! It is cold in winter, but don't worry, you can buy food."
After negotiating the terms and knowing that there was work to be done, Bolu was relieved a lot. At least mages also need people to work, and craftsmen can always show their value!
As soon as they heard that they were going to the legendary Star Island, the legendary and mysterious mage territory, and after confirming that it would still be under Bolu's jurisdiction after the past, the craftsmen immediately agreed, and even agreed to ask their respective workers.
Little Irene, who was supposed to stop Bolu from digging into the kingdom, followed him, conscientiously recording the information of the people who were about to leave.
Geola said this: "Nowadays, the world is not peaceful. In just a short time, Hongshan has already been attacked twice. Now that you, the young manager, and the group leader are leaving, we are all very unsure."
I heard that they want to kill you? This is too... it's not worth it! We don't want to do it here anymore."
"If a harsh and ignorant person were to manage Hongshan, I think we might not be able to bear it. We heard that Star Island never intervenes in wars. Now that we have the opportunity to go to Mage Island, it is naturally the best.
"
Leonardo was more direct. He gathered the knights together and shouted directly in the military camp: "Follow me, step forward! You, you, you! Why are you out! Go back! All the only sons in the family go back! And
You, what are you standing for? Back off! You, you, you! Don’t you care about your wife and children? Go back!"
He is familiar with every one of his soldiers, and he knows in his heart who can and cannot leave.
"Why did you come out too?"
"It's okay. My eldest brother is in the Third Regiment, so he can naturally protect his parents."
Leonardo nodded, patted the young man on the shoulder, and said to the knights who had been divided into teams: "When you go back, ask the attendants, take all those who are willing to go with us, and those who are not willing to leave.
Yes, let’s arrange who will work for them, don’t let them have no way out!”
Almost all the veterans who have fought hard for many years and taken the blame for many years are willing to leave. They have no other place to go, otherwise they would have retired long ago. Some low-level knights from Baator even heard the news and asked to join.
"Then take them with you. They have nowhere to go anyway."
The news spread more and more widely, even to the point of panic among some people. During the visit, Polu seemingly inadvertently revealed the news that the king seemed to want to cleanse the mark he had left, which caused widespread anxiety among the workers.
Soon, the offices of the workshop supervisors were blocked by workers. Eventually, even the refugees heard the news and wanted to come to Bolu.
The sudden increase in the number of people made Bolu worried. He was a little embarrassed and asked the Archmage if he could bring more people. The Archmage answered like this: "As long as you are sure that they will not freeze to death, you can bring as many people as you like.
How cold is it? Well, it may be quite cold. The residents who immigrated before could not bear it and finally ran away. What to eat? After many orders are completed, you will transport them to the northern seaports, Xingdao and Essodu
They are not very far apart and can be traded, didn’t you know?”
Polu recalled it, Esodu? Isn't that Trika's hometown? On the other side of the continent?
"Wait, transport it to the seaport? Can't it be teleported?"
"Is teleportation that simple? Do you know what level of magic circle your teacher plans to set up to assist in teleportation in order to move you? He will soon become the poorest great alchemist in history!"
"Fortunately, after all, it's just a temporary portal. Some of the materials after the transmission can be recycled. The high-quality crystals that have been accumulated are mainly used. Crystals can only be used for long-distance group transmissions, and energy-gathering plates are simply not available.
"
"Teacher, if you tell me the truth, how many crystals will be used?"
"It will probably wipe out all the savings of the school. This is not the key. The key is that without this person's guidance, this door cannot be opened at all. They also provided a large amount of information for this semi-research and semi-practical transmission.
Crystals and projection energy, otherwise it would not have been possible with our savings alone. This teleportation is an unprecedented feat. Looking at the current scale, the possibility of it being unparalleled is very high."
"This can be regarded as the advantage of being on Star Island. I analyze a door every day. I haven't made much progress in other spells, but I have studied the teleportation spell well. I can just practice it. No matter whether there are new gains or not, it is not in vain. That's it.
This energy consumption is really exaggerated. The experimental quota for several years is used up in one experiment! If everyone hadn't been curious about the results of the research, we might not have been able to pass the decision to conduct this experiment."
Polu suddenly felt a pang of guilt. He had wiped out all the savings of the school for such a trivial matter, and it also occupied a lot of energy from Star Island. It seemed that this might have also used up a lot of favors accumulated by the teacher. This was definitely not his original wish.
But is the used crystal just discarded? Obviously the magic capacitor captured before can be recharged repeatedly?
"Teacher, can the used crystals still be charged?"
"Theoretically yes, but charging is a waste of time. The crystals we are going to use this time will take up half a month to be fully charged in a running charging array. Thousands of dollars, how long will it take to charge them? Is there this?
It’s better to make money and buy more. And it’s difficult to recharge it with the same amount of magic power as natural crystals.”
Landau waved his hand indifferently, but these words set off a storm in Bolu's heart!
Energy! High-density energy that can be stored! This is truly new energy! Just because there is no way now does not mean there is really no way!
Although the mechanism of magic direct drive has not yet been understood, if there is such a high-density energy supply mechanism, many of the ideas in his mind can be tried and made!
And the crystal reserves will be exhausted one day!
Although it is rare for a conversation between researchers to go off topic like this, Bolu is happy to have found what he wants to do. However, at this time, he still needs to learn about the situation on the distant star island first.
There are advantages to being further away. Since it is not a completely barren land, it is still acceptable. But when Polu went to ask Zhu Yiwei to learn about the specific situation of Esodu, she clearly expressed different opinions.
"What does it mean to be a barren land! Apart from being a bit colder in winter, everything else about Esodu is very good!"
During this period, Landau accompanied the Archmage around the factory. He was impressed by the ability to organize production here. After seeing the tractors and small gunboats, the Archmage actually agreed to bring these things with him, and even
He also promised to bring a huge continuous casting machine!
If you want to say which machine Bolu wants to take away the most, it must be this one! It is much more important than the roller mill! This kind of thing that completely transcends the idea of smelting in this world, if you can't take it away, then you can only dismantle it.
If you drop key components and then blow them up, you will never leave them to enemies who want to burn you to death!
There is no doubt that Polu remembers all the information here. Even if he leaves here and cooperates with the big craftsmen who are willing to leave, although it is not clear how many grassroots workers can be taken away, as long as there are people, he can still copy a red mountain!
Feeling that the capital was almost aware that something was wrong, Bolu had to stop packing. But before leaving, he had a farewell gift that he wanted to give to the parasite in the capital that forced him to leave the base!
