Chapter 198 48. Outrageous thing
Colonia has returned to Naggarond from Hagrid Grave to continue her research on salamander liquid. She only told Darkus that the matter was done, but The specific content was not stated.
Since Colonia didn't say anything and Darkus didn't ask in detail, he learned from Aigirethe that Malus's eldest brother Brugliel was dead, which meant that Malus should have obtained Kurkus idol. After nearly a year of operation and hosting work, the situation has opened up again! Although he doesn't despise Malus now, he doesn't think Malus is a potential threat to him anymore. So what if Malus becomes Hag Grave's night governor? He has many ways to deal with Malus in various ways.
Now that Whitney's incident has spread, the current sorceresses seem to have figured out Darkus's path and are beginning to independently research and look for changes, either by themselves or by forming a group with their best friends. This is beyond the control of Darkus, because this is the nature of Druchi. They have desires and need space to rise. As for the process and risks involved, Darkus cannot control it, and the sorceresses are also unable to control it. I understand the relationship between this is powerful.
Nowadays, all kinds of strange and weird things are presented to them every now and then, leaving Darkus and Malekith looking confused.
But some are still useful. For example, a famous sorceress carved a magic circle to convert the energy of the dimension stone into Deha (the unpurified wind of magic, used to cast black magic, not one of the eight winds) energy. A dark magic version of the lightning cannon.
After Malekith praised and encouraged the sorceress, he sealed up the evil Deha lightning cannon and related drawings. Maybe he felt the danger. The dimension stone of the other Nagaroth was real. There are not many left and cannot be used on a large scale for the time being. Only Hagrid Grave's mines have this stuff, but there aren't many left now. We can only wait for green meteorites to fall from the sky, but meteorites usually fall in the dark places of the old world. There is no record of falling in Nagaroth.
Darkus gave the sorceress from Krakarond a great task, to make an aerial device similar to an assault ship, as well as a matching aerial motorcycle. His vision is to form an air force that can take off and land from the ground and the Black Ark. It does not require that it can fight around the clock. Two hours is enough. It usually floats on the ground for magic charging. Used for reconnaissance or patrol, to harass during battle, to intercept the opponent's air power, or to drop magic bombs.
Druch's air power is too noisy, it's just those four kinds.
The cruel and vicious harpy cannot be ridden. If you can fight it, attack it. If you can't fight it, run away. After a battle, you will either die or you don't know where it went. It is usually used as a disposable tool and will be captured after the war. Replenish.
The dark Pegasus is like a target. As long as its wings are scratched, people and horses will jump directly into the street.
Manticore-like manticores are determined to fight whenever they see an enemy. When they see the enemy, they directly take the rider to take a bath. Those fear lords rarely fight on manticores until the critical moment during the war.
The last one is the black dragon. The number of black dragons is less than he imagined. At present, including the thirteen dragon eggs, he can barely reach his early forties. This is the number of black dragons in the entire Drukhi society, and they are branched out in various cities. There are a few black dragons in the dragon lair and black ark that can fight and breathe dragon breath, but they are not rideable.
A Reaper ballista is installed in the front of the assault ship. Of course, the ramming horn and the evil and cruel hook are also necessary. The side sails that the medieval elves are proud of are also installed to adjust the direction of the ship. Magic is placed below the deck of the ship. The wind storage, engine and anti-gravity device can cross all kinds of rugged terrain at extremely high speeds. Of course, a fairing must be installed on the curved hull, which is embedded in the black steel armor plate to reduce the weight of the hull and increase the speed. Three soldiers operate the crossbow, and four soldiers are mounted on the outside of the hull to fight with repeating crossbows and melee weapons. There are three to four soldiers in the middle of the deck to provide support and fill positions, and a captain is responsible for command. Finally, it is equipped with a sorceress behind the deck to control the direction and speed of the ship. When necessary, it drains the magical wind in the hull to provide magical support. It is also equipped with three to four single-person motorcycles and two double-person motorcycles in the air to form a Combat group.
Of course, the ideal is skinny, the reality is cruel, and Party A's demands from Darkusti are excessive and unreasonable. This time it was the sorceress's turn to look confused. The sorceress stood there helplessly holding his drawing. He also knew the reality of the situation. He comforted the sorceress and told her not to be stressed and to make the simple external structure first.
As for the most important core thing related to magic, Darkus deceived it to Malekith.
Malekith was sitting on the throne, holding his helmet with one hand and looking at Darkus beside him, who was talking about the future and functions of the assault ship. A joking look appeared on his face behind the midnight armor. Expression, he knew the meaning of this assault ship, but he was waiting, waiting for Darkus to say those words.
"My Majesty, this great mission can only be accomplished by you, and it must be done by you! You have the highest magical attainments in the entire Druchi, and no one can surpass him. If the raiding ship had no speed, it would not exist. Meaning." Darkus said for a long time and saw that Malekith was indifferent, with a hint of ridicule in his orange eyes. He had no choice but to say this and assign work to the leader. In short, he should throw the blame away first. If the assault ship did not have the expected effect, it could only be said that Malekith's magic level was not enough.
"My dear Darkus, what you describe is essentially the same as a dragon ship. It requires storing the magical wind in special magical wood or dimension stone." Malekith smiled and began to speak slowly, Before Darkus could say anything, he stretched out his finger and drew in the air, and then said, "But this so-called fast engine needs to have higher requirements than the dragon ship, otherwise it will only become a slow-moving target in the air. "
After Malekith finished speaking, he started painting again. Darkus knew that he had taken on this big job.
After Dacus saluted, he returned to his chair and began to work. He thought about the problem of food again.
Sweet potatoes had been cultivated and localized by the Hell Calamity Family when Darkos returned from the Lustria continent, but due to profit reasons, they have not been made public for the time being. He can also understand, he can understand it too well. If Druchi, the bottom class of Northern Nagaros, eats sweet potatoes, how can the food of Krakalond still be sold? How to ensure the interests of the Krakarlond dignitaries and farmers? It will be troublesome at that time. At the very least, sweet potatoes will not be promoted until harvestable things such as meat, tobacco, wine, sugar and salt are fully spread. . So he could only work on vegetables first. After all, it was impossible to eat only vegetables and no grain, right?
As for potatoes, they existed in the old world. Rick had thawing eel jelly, but Darkus didn't understand things like potato late blight. After all, he didn't distinguish between grains and was not an agricultural expert. Although Nagaros has permafrost and an environment similar to that of Siberia, Nagaros is not a fertile chernozem or chernozem land, and it has not been popularized due to quality and many other reasons.
During the poll, Darkus also figured out that these low-level druchis generally fear power rather than morality. If they have cheap and easy-to-grow sweet potatoes, they will definitely eat sweet potatoes, and then use the saved Sovereigns to buy slaves and fish. And meat, or use it for other enjoyments, such as a house of flesh and blood, some magical alchemical products that know the sea, or gambling in the arena. Darkos thought about the issue of gunpowder again. You must know that the laws of physics are the keynote, and chemical changes are accompanied by physical changes. Physics and chemistry are both natural subjects, and further expanded to include mass, energy, motion, force, gas, electrons, balance, system, environment, etc., which form the basis of industry.
Physics and chemistry existed in the medieval world, and gunpowder was chemistry. But the main rules are idealism and the wind of magic. Currently, there is gunpowder in the medieval world, but it is black powder. It is said that the earliest known race to use black powder weapons is not the dwarves and Cathays, but the Sky Titans. Then nothing happened. Black gunpowder has been used to this day, and there is no such epoch-making thing as yellow gunpowder.
Darkus felt that he could produce yellow gunpowder and Zhou Dynasty explosives by force, mainly diatomaceous earth, nitric acid and sulfuric acid. Then what? Make fertilizer? Farming in the medieval world relied on magical wind, and fertilizer was a perfect match for Nurgle. Mining? Why not bother Master Ma to lift it directly from the ground? Treat heart disease and coronary heart disease? Or making nylon and dye? He might as well just lead Druchi to carry out the industrial revolution and get out the breech-loading guns, breech-loading cannons and bombs. When the time comes, a 100-pound aerial bomb will be hung under the pterosaur to be used as a Stuka. It is estimated that a few bombs will be dropped and Blast all the white flags on the opposite side and blow them up to see who is unhappy. No powerful medieval warhammer can withstand such a blow. Chaos blocks the portal and throws cannonballs directly into the portal.
(There are also local methods, but if you don’t do them, there are too many related expansions, which are easy to write down, and they must have the characteristics of Druchi and Lizardmen. Steel will do it.)
But before this scene appears, Qingbao Tianzun (Tzeentch) ) will definitely directly conduct unilateral and multi-party talks. This is no longer a small change, and we must strike hard! Perhaps in the end these things were either lost or corrupted, leading to the messenger's corruption and madness. After all, the final right of interpretation belongs to the God of Chaos.
Druchi's magical ability was the leader in the medieval world. Instead of studying blasting and tunnel combat, it is better to carry forward Huang Baitao's spirit and study how to quickly build bridges on rivers. Dakoos feels that this is the only shortcoming of Druchi's military currently. . Even if they face the Rat Man's tunnels, there will be more ruthless things when the time comes. Shi Lan has the power to move mountains and seas!
Darkus quickly shook his head and got rid of the crazy ideas in his mind. After all, he was only making changes on the existing basis to improve the industrial chain and enhance Druchi's war potential, not to engage in industrialization or engage in military operations. What a native method. If he really does a few big jobs, he will really become the chosen god of Tzeentch, and it is estimated that the elven gods who protect him will not be able to bear it. The heavy ballista was only a backup option at the moment. He planned to go to Altdorf to meet the medieval Leonardo da Vinci on the way to the Athel Loren Forest. He might be able to get some inspiration, but he couldn't just take the drawings and learn from them.
The research on the structure of the Osinite Stone has been fruitless for a long time, so Darkus gave up for the time being. It will be enough to use it directly when the time comes. Research on the golden structure of Chakua's Shield has not produced any results. It seems that the idealistic ancestors' protection has achieved that magical effect.
In the next few days, two more outrageous devices were displayed in front of Darkus.
"What are these?"
These two devices are similar to miniature wind turbines, but they are not the traditional three-blade fan. One is like a turbine engine without a cover, and the other is like a rolling ball. The magic thing is the generator that looks like a round ball. The direction of rotation is disordered and constantly changing.
"Sir, these two devices can capture the wind of magic and convert the wind of magic into energy." The sorceress said anxiously after saluting.
"Arc steelmaking!" This was the first reaction in Darkus' mind. If there were several big ones of this thing, it might really be able to be made into arc steelmaking. He didn't think about the assault ship, because the important thing about the initial version of the assault ship was not the accumulator, but the engine. The small air supply device was a bit useless at the moment. Maybe it could be used to charge on the ground, quickly. Take off and land combat.
Without hesitation, Darkus quickly took a few steps back and threw the few remaining Ogham stone fragments to the sorceress. After seeing no reaction from the sorceress, he breathed a sigh of relief. This might not be a big job for him by Qingbao Tianzun. After all, this thing is too out of line. Druch's heavy industry is in Hagrid Grave. He has never been there, he only passed by it once when he came to Nagarond. Heavy industry refers to the mining of marble and iron ore, and occasionally there are a few very small dimensional stones.
What Hagrid Grave is most proud of is the metallurgy and weapons and armor making workshops on Broad Street. Darkus only knows the term black steel. Black steel is fused with the blood of sacrifices and engraved with powerful Talisman, this is the best armor produced by Nagaros, and this is how his armor is made. As for how this black steel was forged, he didn't know what method, furnace or process was used. He probably knew that it might be a manual crucible refining. After all, the terms described in the Elvish language were different. He had to take a look to understand it, or maybe he couldn't understand it at a glance?
The problem is that between crucible refining and electric arc steelmaking, there are two levels of process upgrades between converter steelmaking and open-hearth steelmaking. This is a bit outrageous.
Darkus first asked where the female magician came from. The result was that it was not Hagrid Grave as he imagined, but from Kalonde Karl. He directly drew a pie for the sorceress, and gave him the funds to ask for the whole thing to come out and test it on the plains outside Nagarond.
"Forget it, use this first." Darkus pointed at the turbine-like wind machine and said. He gave up the round ball directly. It was too outrageous.
In the evening, after having dinner under the Black Tower of Malekith, Maranur pulled Darkus to a secluded place.
"There is news from the family that Hagrid Grave's Valahar and Lehan the Corrupted Blade have gone to Krakarond." Maranur said mysteriously.
"I guess Lehan didn't enter Krakarond? Maybe he went around from the Black Ridge Mountains to the south of the Red Poison River." Darkus revealed the same mystery.
Maranur tilted his head back, with surprise in his eyes, as if asking how Darkus knew so clearly.
"Keep working, my good brother. The good news is that we will have fun next time! The bad news is that we will be even busier next time!"
(Tell me if there is anything wrong with physics and chemistry. I can fix it. I really don't understand. )
