In Chu State, in a mountain forest, on a small trail, a man followed another man, walking forward step by step, seemingly aimlessly.
"Your experiments here make me feel very uneasy. No one can control the four seasons, and no one can really make the mountains listen to their voices." The man walking behind persuaded the man in front.
The man who spoke was wearing a special kind of clothes. The large robe was dotted with all kinds of silverware, which seemed a bit too cumbersome.
His clothes are colorful and paired with some old-looking silverware, which makes people feel indescribably complicated. You can also see dense tattoos on the man's neck, which makes his skin look a little dark.
The most interesting thing is that one of the man's eyes is green. It is a false eye, polished with gems such as jade.
If it were a local native, they would immediately recognize that this was their most revered great wizard, because only a great wizard would replace his real eye with a fake jade eye that could communicate with the gods.
This is an ancient tradition. Those who are selected as great wizards will have one eye gouged out at the age of twenty. This is their fate and the disaster they must accept.
People who are tortured to death from injuries or whose wounds worsen due to infection are not qualified to become wizards. Only those who recover as before can be proven to have a pure heart and can communicate with gods.
The man walking in front of the great wizard was wearing a suit. He walked forward silently, ignoring the great wizard following him.
"I know you are rich and willing to help our village, but mountain spirits are inviolable existences. Your experiments will have no results, because the gods will not be controlled by humans." The great wizard walking behind him is still the same.
He kept talking.
Finally, the man walking in front said without looking back: "I gave you enough food and treatment medicine. You can move to a more suitable place to live at any time... Your god can
You were never given this."
"My god taught me that all gains have a price. We are unwilling to give up the tombs of our ancestors and leave our own land... because only by staying here can we gain the power of our ancestors." The great wizard continued to explain.
.
Although he didn't like these outsiders, the senior officials of Chu State were very afraid of these guys who claimed to be from the Tang Dynasty.
In fact, these people also make him, a great wizard, feel scared: they have come up with many good things to deceive people, and now the people in the village are not as easy to manage as before they came.
"Power? With all due respect, you know nothing about power!" The man who deliberately came to see the results of the experiment sneered and asked: "I gave you 100 Thompson submachine guns and 200 Mauser rifles. Let you
At least 30 people died in the conflict with the orc barbarians."
"I know you are very powerful, but what you are talking about does not exist at all." The great wizard could only grit his teeth and said: "You will never be able to make plants flourish or wither according to your requirements..."
"Oh? Really?" The man stopped, pushed aside the bushes in front of him, and saw the mountains opposite.
The great wizard stopped, his eyes widened, and he didn't know what to say: in front of him, the mountain in the distance could hardly see any green.
Brown tree trunks abound, but there are no green leaves to cover their figures. All the plants seem to have died overnight, and it is like a real hell.
"It seems that the defoliant is performing very well..." A technician in a white coat said excitedly among the crowd following behind.
"Indeed." Another technician nodded: "Although this material is not stable, the effect is really impressive. The toxicity... has not yet been detected. This can be concluded by observing the specimens."
"There is no need for test results. The side effects are very clear. His Majesty has ordered that any relevant human experiments are prohibited. All you need to do is handle it carefully according to the experimental results he gave." The leading man stopped his men from having dangerous ideas.
The main reason why they conducted the experiment in Chu State was that this thing was indeed poisonous. Another secondary reason was because there were many forests in Chu State, which were suitable for such experiments.
For humanitarian reasons, the Tang Empire's subsidies for such overseas experiments were quite high. All people near the experimental area had to be evacuated, and very high subsidies were given.
However, various problems will still arise during the actual operation: the local officials of the Chu State are very interested in this subsidy. They will take most of it and then forcibly expel the civilians near the experimental area.
Of course, in order to avoid future troubles, some officials would even hint to the experimental technicians of the Datang Empire that they could conceal the truth of the matter so that the Tang Dynasty could obtain more "accurate data."
Although Tang Mo can determine the properties of many chemicals, local experiments are still needed to determine the stability of their effects. Because the Tang Dynasty has the Tang Mo plug-in, the relevant experiments only need to be conducted once to determine their basic properties.
effects and side effects.
Compared with situations that require repeated experiments or even dangerous experiments, this situation of only testing once or twice is already very humane.
"Devils! You are devils!" The great wizard standing by finally broke free from the shock and began to scream loudly, rebuking these Tang people who had come from afar: "They are all devils! Devils!"
In his eyes, it was these people who brought terrible things into the mountains. They had the ability to destroy the mountain spirits and gods. They were heretics and the source of evil!
They came here not to take anything, but to destroy everything! They made an entire mountain of plants lose their life overnight. Apart from demons and the like, what else can explain what happened before them?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He also followed. The Chu official who was afraid that something might happen to the nobles glanced at the great wizard, and his mind was full of thinking, wondering whether he should kick this nonsense.
The guy kicked down the mountain.
These big guys set fire to the mountains because they don’t want to pay them. What the hell do you call a devil? What do you mean by a devil? If you don’t want to live anymore, don’t hold me back!
"The medicine we are experimenting with now is helping you! It can drive away the barbaric orc tribes and help establish a stable border between you and the orcs." The officials from the Tang State turned around and looked at the somewhat aloof man.
The crazy wizard explained: "Even the most terrifying power, as long as it is in the hands of people, it depends on how to use this power. The strength of the power is not the criterion for judging justice and evil! How to use this power
Strength is what it is!”
He pointed to the ridge in the distance and continued: "Do you see that over there? Do you know how many years it took you to cut down such a large area of mountain forest in the past? Now, you only need ten days to plant tea on it.
Already."
The great wizard stopped shouting, and he was a little moved: if these places could be cleared quickly and planted with food or cash crops, then their village would indeed become rich.
The Chu official was also stunned for a moment. He originally thought this was some new weapon from the Tang Empire, but what he didn't expect was that the other party actually wanted to use this preparation to clear forests and develop agriculture.
It sounds like...that's really what happened.
It's just...it seems like there are some details that I have overlooked.
The chemical technicians of the Tang Dynasty who were standing aside felt a little embarrassed when they heard their leader talking nonsense.
One of the technicians asked his companion in a low voice: "Well... this thing of ours is a poisonous product, right? It will enter the release range within a week. Isn't it very dangerous?"
"Don't listen to the boss's nonsense. If the Chu State really does this, would you believe it? We in the Tang Dynasty will no longer import all agricultural and sideline products from the Chu State..." Another technician lowered his voice and said to his companion.
"It must be our leader who talks nonsense without blushing." After hearing his companion's words of affirmation, the technician who asked the question first praised.
"This thing is just a functional experiment... I heard that the preparation itself has no practical value at all! The formula has also entered the stage of strict confidentiality." A person next to him continued: "They are all reserved to offset the dangers with other countries.
Weapons prohibition' is something that is used in treaties."
