Chapter 609 Light 54.19-BDFh135: Science Laboratory (pseudo)

·

You are the only one in the entire kingdom who can mass-produce magic wands. It would be a pity not to take advantage of it. In addition, additional orders for illegal magic tools are also worth running. Join forces with the ancient city to monopolize the identity laundering business leading to the West; establish a set of

A complete black powder production line. None of these can be bought and sold openly.

She will continue to cooperate with several magic toolsmiths in the East. While selling magic wands, she will also sell adamantine swords and other guns, and purchase mithril cold iron. Erica is not stupid, she will only sell second and third grade weapons.

Sell ​​them and of course keep the best ones.

From now on, the Black Street will mainly deal in 1 magic wand, 2 ordnance, 3 magic equipment customization, 4 identity washing, and 5 black powder, but it will not touch food, slave trading and monster business.

The most hesitant thing is setting up a science laboratory.

If you can master one or two evil and crazy scientific research techniques, you will be in an advantageous position for dimensionality reduction strikes in a short period of time. When black powder was first invented, those proud city walls suddenly became vulnerable to cannons.

At the beginning of steampunk, countless lumberjacks lost their jobs. In the nearly fifty years since the successful development of Golem, people have been mistaken for it to be a nearly invincible existence, especially that it is immune to all spells. If you can also develop something

, depending on the speed of technology leaks, it will be in a dominant position for at least a few years.

The problem is that you can't afford the risks of developing science, and no one likes crazy heathens.

Your concerns are not difficult to understand, both Hathaway and Erica can understand. You already have steampunk and green light crystals in your territory, with a research and development foundation, and they have been shunned by many nobles. Most people face things they cannot understand.

, more of hostility than curiosity.

Erica looked around the dark street: "As you can see, this is an area that everyone can enter and exit, so it is not suitable for keeping secrets. From now on, there will be many customers coming in and out every day."

"Although I don't think it is a good idea to engage in scientific research, I am always willing to support any decision you make. Just find a more secluded place and build a smaller laboratory. You can actually ask Cherna directly for details.

Do you have any ideas?" Hathaway curled her lips and saluted respectfully, her whole body full of confusion.

The arrangement of the Black Street is roughly like this. You and Hathaway go to Cherna to discuss matters related to the science laboratory.

When I found Cherna, she was supervising the work under the green light turret. The foundation of the tower had just begun to be dug. However, Baron Timothy Ferguson had already begun to design the constancy of the functional array, which would take a lot of time to study.

Cherna noticed that you were calling her and trotted up to you. She looked at you and then at Hathaway warily, and asked tentatively: "Sir, did I make any mistake?"

"Let me explain, let's take a step to speak." Hathaway led Cherna to a deserted place, "What was the result of your last scientific research?"

With a hiccup, Cherna scratched her head: "Before making the heavenly rules, my final result was the "Thunder Liquid Prison", which can reduce the energy of electrical elements and store it in an alchemical potion. It is as big as a bathtub

, the liquid inside is weakly corrosive, touching the liquid will not cause lightning damage, but touching the two copper rods inside."

Hathaway tilted her head and couldn't understand what use this thing could have: "So what is it used for?"

"No. When we switched to lead, we obviously had a new breakthrough, and when we were looking for ways to reduce the volume and prevent liquid leakage, other people were tied to the stake and executed, so the research entered a bottleneck. Because of me

He was able to cast spells, so he was spared the death penalty. When he was arrested, he had no companions."

Hathaway understood, so this pool that can store electrical elemental magic energy has no use value.

As if to break the awkward silence, Cherna continued: "The research on arcana has been making continuous progress, but in fact the essence of arcana is a technology that belongs to a small number of elites and cannot be popularized. Only glasses and black powder can be used by everyone.

Technology that can be used by individuals can truly promote social progress. I like the farmland fertilizers here, which are simple, cheap and effective, and I am deeply fascinated by the ecological tower that combines arcane, druid, and botanical knowledge. There is nothing

There is nothing more meaningful than breaking the scepter of God and distributing it to every mortal."

"Speaking of that battery, please imagine that one day after I succeed, everyone will be able to hold a magical magical tool the size of a palm, and with a light touch can generate high-energy lightning with six or seven rings of power. This world will soon be

It turned into hell, haha." Cherna said these things with very serious eyes.

When asked if she had any suggestions for building a science laboratory, Cherna fell into deep thought.

"Well... it's best to build a tower. A tower is an excellent building with highly compact functions and exclusive features, and it can be disguised as an ordinary mage tower. Why do you ask this?"

Hathaway did not answer the question and continued to ask: "Are there any projects that have practical value and have a research and development foundation?"

"You may have misunderstood something. Research and development requires a team. Currently we can only work on three aspects: steampunk, green light crystal and slime improvement. Which one are you more interested in?"

Cherna was already assisting in further improvements in three aspects. If that were the case, there would be no need to build a comprehensive scientific research tower.

"What is your major?"

"It's mainly about astrology and climate." Cherna gradually understood the key point of the topic, "If you need to develop new weapons against Piyun City as soon as possible, arcane magic is the best choice, not science. The former is for high-end people.

Yes, the latter is for the general public, and there is a huge difference in the degree of cutting-edge."

The stars can't produce any combat power, but the weather can be used to cast spells.

"You know how to spell magic circles, right?"

"Contracts, magic circles, enchantments, and golems are all a little bit. I like any major that is highly reproducible, not just science."

So what you need to do now is to find a suitable research direction that can integrate and sublimate the existing cards in your hand, and is concealed enough. Not only the laboratory itself must be concealed, but the research and development prototypes must also be concealed enough, such as new technology cannons and the like

The thing is purely hostile to all nobles. The question is what is low-key and practical enough?

Probably because of the two new apostles, you have some inspiration:

A. Mary has been exposed to the core surgical skills of the master, using this as a breakthrough point, coupled with our existing Chitilati's human-shaped metal prostheses, the witch's human-shaped secret medicine, golems, strange weapons, and steam constructs

By using the human body and improving slime, we may be able to develop original technology that combines human body modification, implants and prosthetics. I’m afraid we will never be able to acquire Val’s technology, so this may be the only chance to achieve similar effects. Hidden in the skin

It's also relatively hidden underneath. By the way, according to Mary, both she and Val gained supernormal muscle strength due to special surgeries.

B. Based on the steam tank, continue to install more prototype weapons, thicker armor, and more load-bearing seats. Although it is not concealed, the steam tank is already very eye-catching and cannot cause more trouble.

C. Currently, Langdon can only convert water element energy into spells or pure magic energy in batches and cannot store it. If the battery can be improved and miniaturized, it can store electric element energy. Make a battery bracelet, plus the newly developed

Electrical conversion of magic energy can be made into low-cost energy storage props for civilians, which can be used to ignite fires in daily life, use sustainable lamps, illuminate and assist fools without spellcasting ability to use magic scrolls and wands. If it is made into a backpack size, it can be used

It is used to charge the green light crystal and become a life-sustaining equipment for individual soldiers. Because it does not change the shape of war and the rules of rule, the nobles will not be too resistant.

D. The kingdom has developed a simple hot air balloon. It is slow, low and easy to be shot down by harpies, so it is not very common. Try to find a way to increase the hardness and toughness of the balloon shell, and then use a teleportation circle to connect it, and then it can't reach the poisonous dragon level.

If you reach a super high altitude, you can occupy the air superiority on the cloud. The accuracy of sniping or throwing bombs is not useful, but it can be used for communication, weather control, and reconnaissance. In the same way, it is too high, so it is not much bothered by the nobles...see

Can't see clearly.

E, forget it, even if you do scientific research secretly, the gains outweigh the losses.
