Chapter 246: Tech Tree Progress

Gwen was very sure that the three devil sisters were all talented.

The industrial oxygen produced by Aini has indeed received a lot of praise. Cans of industrial oxygen were transported to the steelmaking plant on the train of Long Yan's private property. At the same time, he also returned a sufficient amount of steel to Gwen.

In response to these steel materials, Helen, one of the three sisters, developed an inner layer of armor similar to chain mail.

To put it simply, the black robes of the Mind Flayer cultists were changed from cloth robes into real "cloth armor". Through armor plasticity and mechanics, etc., the built-in armor of the robe was developed.

"But why don't you have leg armor?"

Gwen asked Helen after checking. Helen stared at him gloomily, and after a second or two gave her own explanation: "The cannon fodder's feet were beaten just enough to prevent them from escaping. It must be

Stay where you are... In terms of utilization, this is more cost-effective. Providing protection for the lower body consumes an additional 70% of the total armor, and our goal is not to 'protect soldiers and keep them alive'."

"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"

"Do you know what you are talking about?" Gwen stared at her, "You seem to have completely negated the greatest role of the word armor?"

"Gwen."

Helen said to him in the tone of a mature woman.

"Do you think that a well-made medieval-level armor can stop an 8.15-caliber Utopia standard steel-core bullet? Especially when its charge, craftsmanship, and some traces of Yuanli are included?"

The yellow-haired lolita showed the aura of a very mature woman on her face, and she smiled a little charmingly:

"The answer is impossible, especially if the Utopians have eaten enough monsters with high defense. The order of crafts development in a world will be largely related to the public opinion of the world. For example, in a peaceful world, weapons

The focus is on how to kill the same kind. In a world full of monsters, weapons are focussed on how to kill monsters. In a world without external enemies, weapons are focussed on how to kill oneself better."

"The world of Utopia is very interesting."

"The number of monsters that appear here is so large that even us visitors from the abyss feel a little different. However, it can also be said that it is not the quantity, but the density. The density of monsters here is very terrifying. Therefore, all the ammunition in this world is only

Pursuing the purpose of breaking armor, such thin steel armor is naturally unable to meet the needs of protecting soldiers."

"It's to [make them believe that they are protected]. When they believe this, the source of power will naturally attach to them, support them, and protect them. Of course, if small-caliber and long-distance stray bullets, this robe

The armor can still protect them, and it is also effective against the cold weapon crossbows currently popular in Utopia, and the anti-chopping effect is even better."

Under Helen's various explanations.

Gwen still had no choice but to accept this statement. There was no way around it, and most of the members of the Clerical Order were indeed from the scum class. Curse Blade now had to pretend that their order was doing bad things and let them take care of them.

Bags of salt and bags of sugar are delivered as smokeable candies to prevent these people from wondering whether "we are in a legitimate association that really wants to do business."

But Curse Blade is an old expert in this area.

Today she has people tracking a certain smuggling route, tomorrow she has people follow the route and keep it secret, and the day after tomorrow she has people destroy the smuggling route and everyone has to keep their identities secret.

In the words of Long Yan, the Clerical Cult is:

"You have made history. You are the first legal association to have caused the death of more than 50 people in internal fighting within three days of its establishment."

After solving the problem, Helen handed over the disassembled versions of these armors to the Cat Lanterns for production.

Cat Lantern currently has his own territory aboard the Sniper Cat, and Curse Blade is reluctant to admit that Cat Lantern's ability to manage the territory seems to be a little better than Squirrel Girl...

Manufacturing factory, tannery...

These industries already exist, and the cat lanterns actually hired a group of mole people from nowhere to work with cheap wages. By the way, the wealth of the cat lanterns is amazing, and they carry it with them everywhere, floating at any time.

, saving a lot of management costs and salary costs.

The output cost of the cat lamp industry is very low.

therefore.

The cat lights can use about 25% of the salary to hire four groups of mole people and start working 24 hours a day. At the same time, they can provide the mole people with cheap daily necessities in terms of salary. In this way, the cat lights only need to hire one mole.

For 10 hours of labor, four mole people were hired to work for a full 24 hours. However, because in the cat lamp industry chain, daily necessities can be directly imported at low prices, this kind of exploitation was recognized by the mole people.

Of course, according to Gwen, every one of these cats needs to hang a street light...

But people enjoyed watching moles, and it was not convenient for Gwen to ruin other people's jobs.

After all, working for Maodeng itself allows you to enjoy cheap industrial products and daily necessities. But you can't lose your job for no reason just because "I think you are being exploited". Otherwise, what can you say if you destroy other people's jobs?

What's the difference between 'losing everything and also losing the shackles' and 'losing everything and gaining freedom'?

Besides, the cat lamp factory is quite safe, and these cats don’t dare to stay in a place with safety risks for more than ten seconds...



The workshop of Helen the Mud Demon is just below the tower of the three sisters. This is her private work.

As the only demon among the three demon sisters with a very high degree, she has absolute autonomy. Her main job is to help her sisters repair the greenhouse and maintain the Sniper Cat.

Oh my god, the only person with an engineer's license on this train is a devil!

Penny has been complaining to Gwen about this matter for countless days and nights.

But there is no way. Engineers in Utopia are just like professional artists on Earth. They are all professional talents that are being competed for. After all, in addition to being awesome themselves, a professional artist must also lead an awesome team, and

For Utopia, a great engineer will naturally have to lead a great team to prove his worth.

Helen, the yellow-haired lolita, brought her three little vampire sisters up.

These vampires don't drink blood, they drink engine oil - okay, this is a joke, their wages are not low. Curse Blade once negotiated salary issues with them, but they just gave Squirrel Girl a look and bluntly said that they would not work if they didn't pay.

This is awesome.

But she managed to manage the maintenance of the train, and Penny expressed her "machine soul's great joy", saying that the engineer combination of three vampires and one demon was comparable to the witch's maintenance capabilities. Although the witch boasted of being far away from the sky, she was far away from the witch after all.

In the end, no one liked Witch's XX, but it wasn't too watery. After all, Penny wanted to enjoy it herself.



Three Sisters Tower, lounge.

There are a large number of strange samples as decorations in this lounge, a large number of strange and terrifying things, which makes people wonder whether these things can be regarded as human aesthetics.

There is also a tobacco cabinet.

And these devils' homemade cigars.

Gwen recited the main contents of demonology silently in her mind.

——The world view of demons is very simple, that is, you kill me and I will kill you. But since a certain time, the society of demons has entered a completely civilized state. For these demons, cigars and weird works of art finally have some value.

.Some big demons will try to collect these things, and for other demons, collecting art can be regarded as part of accumulating assets, with the hope of exchanging such assets for useful materials, such as souls.

But it is undeniable that liking cigars is a hobby shared by all demons. If you can stuff a small piece of pure soul fragment into a cigar, then for the demon, it will be the devil's version of sugar candy...

"Would you like coffee, tea? Or a little wine?"

I am very familiar with Helen. This scholar devil has a very mature style, which is completely different from the loli appearance. He is a real adult devil.

She treated Gwen like an old friend.

Gwen thought for a moment: "Coffee bar."

"A good choice. Let me introduce to you, the Yanguo coffee beans from the Savory Peninsula in the Land of Wailing..."

Gwen heard the name and asked curiously: "The Tormented Peninsula? Literal translation."

"WZSDTMD." Helen cursed, "I told them, choosing transliteration will not bring a little improvement to the bad naming taste. Tormented Peninsula, you are right, Tormented Peninsula occasionally

We would say that if a demon is sent to the Suffering Peninsula, it will usually only suffer. It is very close to the entrance of Utopia, so it has to eat the soul of the source every day..."

"You know the source soul, right? It has very disgusting poison. It is equivalent to the purification fish here. It can barely provide food, but it is definitely not the best choice to fill your stomach."

Gwen is still very interested in the secrets of demons.

"It sounds like we have no choice, but is the technological level of the abyss enough to breed people like you who are proficient in craftsmen and technology?"

"sure."

Helen picked up the flaming red coffee beans and put them into the grinder. "The flaming red coffee beans bear wonderful fruits in the place of suffering, just like lotus flowers. This kind of coffee is very pungent and mellow, but not bitter."

.You see, when this red coffee powder is brewed, it looks like mellow milk."

"so?"

"The abyss of pain will naturally give birth to geniuses like us. The technology of the abyss has always been a symbol of wild growth. For us, the technology of Utopia is still a part of wild growth. You can see that the Utopians are in this connection.

When high-quality steel could not be supplied reliably, a building was actually built that was a spectacle, just like the ancient country Qin built the Great Wall."

"oh?"

"It seems that you are indeed from the parallel world of Telt, one of the nineteen origins of witches."

"Nineteen Origins of the Witch?"

"There are nineteen theories about their origins, coming from nineteen different worlds. Many people suspect that the witches forged the nineteen origins in order to claim the entire multi-faceted universe. The world that truly matches the origin of the witches is an 8,000-year-old world.

The world, a world that continues to invent weapons to destroy itself according to the original historical line. But at the same time, it should also be your origin world."

The theory of parallel worlds is the basic surface theory in the multi-faceted universe. Civilizations that do not learn this theory cannot break through the sky. If they cannot break through the sky, then there will be a lock blocking their way to the universe. That is, they cannot enter.

The age of the universe.

But for Gwen, finding her way home is no longer that important.

On the contrary, finding the witch is more important.

"Making a deal with the witch, becoming immortal, and bringing mortals back to life are all very simple things." Helen said.

"Including finding someone?"

"Who are you looking for? From that world or from this world? It doesn't matter whether you are alive or dead, but you have to know clearly where the person you are looking for belongs to."

Gwen could not imagine such great power.

Just a name and a world, plus some of his memories, can allow the witch to drag him back from the underworld.

There was something called 'excitement' in his heart.

But it’s not convenient to show it.

He just breathed out: "It is indeed...a very important person to me. In the last world."

"Then just find someone to find the witch. If you pay the price, they can even dig out the souls that have been eaten by the devil. For a period of time, they even specialized in this job, playing double sex with the devil. What about the sad prince's lover being eaten by the devil?

After eating it, he lured the wolf into the house and asked the witch to come in, only to find that the witch was more vicious than the devil... common things."

Helen is definitely a good mentor and friend.

As a demon, she is one of the rare rational demons. As the three sisters, she is the only one who does not say "I am a mixed race".

Gwen was quite curious about this and asked:

"Is it okay for a rationalist like you to be in the abyss?"

Helen took a sip of coffee and tilted her head with a smile:

"No problem. Demons will never be defined. Although most of them are madness and chaos, reason is born from madness and chaos. This is also one of the nature of demons. It is just a possibility... Speaking of which

, since you are from that original parallel world, then you should have seen movies from that world, right?"

Helen put down her coffee, her eyes shining:

"In your world, is there Shawshank Redemption?"

"have."

Gwen looked at her in surprise.

This expression made the other party sneer: "There are nineteen origins of parallel worlds in this world, but there is only one abyss. I have seen the elf version of Shawshank, the dwarf version and the zombie version..."

Helen is more like an academic master and a knowledgeable person than a demon.

It was quite a pleasure chatting with her.

I just don’t know…

Gwen wasn't quite sure why the other party was vaguely complimenting her.



The next day, while Gwen was having morning tea in the main tower, she met Laura who came in holding information.

The first sentence the other party said was:

"Suka, there is no place called Yinwensi Castle on the Fellowship!"
