"Let us put aside things in the distant future. What we are going to show you now is a milestone in the development of military technology, the second key to reversing unfortunate fate after money."
Pulling the reins of group thinking that was slipping in a dangerous direction. Li Lin, a senior arms dealer, weaved a neon light of language to envelop many eyeballs. A small white porcelain vial appeared in his hand. A brisk voice spoke out a message that had never been heard by humans, orcs, or elves.
, dwarf, dwarf...words that all creatures in Wilt's world have heard.
"Dynamite."
——Cellulose nitrate.[
Not many people except people in the industry know what this scientific name is. People on earth know more about it as another popular alias - nitrocellulose.
The production process of polymeric fiber is not complicated. Use saltpeter, copper and iron ore found deep in the valley to extract nitric acid and sulfuric acid. The cotton is soaked in the mixed acid solution and carefully dried to obtain nitrocellulose, which can be used as explosives.
.
The pest-proof, high-yielding genetically modified cotton seeds that have been genetically grafted by nano-mechanical insects, plus the phosphate fertilizer manufacturing facility under construction that requires the cooperation of two magicians (note), are expected to have a yield as high as that of traditional agricultural cotton.
200% or more of the output. After a period of profit, the expansion of planting scale will be enough to cope with the small-scale mass production of nitrocellulose.
In the short term, the number of elves cannot be expected to grow explosively. Training the army cannot be done overnight. It is urgent to improve armaments within the scope permitted by technical conditions and ensure that the elves with a numerical disadvantage can form a certain asymmetric advantage over humans. There are enough raw materials and manufacturing
Nitrocellulose with a simple process is the first choice in this regard. It is only necessary to formulate safety supervision measures in the relevant production links and strictly implement them. The amount of explosives produced safely is enough to deal with low-intensity armed conflicts. It is considered that elves only have archery skills.
Some careless intruders will leave an impression they will never forget.
There is also a deeper consideration. When smelting technology can produce high-quality seamed steel pipes, Li Lin plans to develop a single-base propellant based on nitrocellulose to shorten the development process of breech-loading rifled rifles.
Meeting current needs also leaves the technical reserves needed for future development - a development plan that is proficient in calculation and a decision full of Li Lin style.
There is still a small obstacle that needs to be solved. The elves who are used to playing with bows and arrows and hunting knives do not believe that cotton soaked in a suspicious agent that can corrode a big hole in the board is a more powerful weapon. They stubbornly believe that sharp
Bows and arrows, hunting knives and the young man's tenacity and courage are the important factors that determine the outcome of the battle. Everything else is a despicable and evil way.
Because of their attitude, Li Lin did not tell them about another crazy super killer - high-yield genetically modified wheat that can sterilize rats and cockroaches after eating it (Note 2), plant genetic improvement skills and technology to restore the earth's environment.
As long as the nanomechanical insect that is doing its work changes its direction slightly, it will be released from Pandora's box. However, this toy is not needed at the moment, so for the time being, let this scientific demon continue to sleep peacefully.
"What would these guys' ancestors who were magicians from thousands of years ago say if they saw their descendants talking like this so confidently? They might be rolling in their graves, right?"
With a bit of ill-intentioned ridicule, Nidhogg squinted at the middle-aged elves who looked disbelieving or waiting to see the fun, as if he were looking at a group of country bumpkins. Li Lin, who was facing him, began to demonstrate the effect of his invention.
“If you want to prove something, you can always do it faster than you can say it.”
His shoulders were raised and lowered mischievously, and the fuse that made a "chichi" sound to identify his true identity quickly burned to the end.
boom--!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The thunderbolt that exploded on a sunny day, the flash that briefly robbed the eyesight, the flash of fireball that rose up like a karmic fire, the furious hurricane carried the gravel and soil and threw it around, colliding with the rocks that covered the body, making a creepy low sound and an unpleasant smell.
The smoke and the reverberation of thunder irritated the nasal cavity and ears.
All the senses truly recorded the effect and power of [dynamite]. The strong explosion turned into a psychological shock that shook the souls of the audience. The villagers, who had rarely seen magic, could only scream in front of the brand new pit that was spewing black smoke.
a voice.
"...Mother Goddess."
I don’t know how many times it has happened, but the man who was in shock, the woman who comforted the frightened child and himself, the boy who was joyful in his heart and his face showed it, and the human magician whose thirst for knowledge was still burning even though he was in the enemy camp.
.All the lips were chanting the name of the Supreme Creator God while trembling. Only in this way could they barely appease the stimulated body and mind that had not yet adapted.
[The power of magic cannot be defeated] - The curse of common sense in the hearts of the residents of Wilt was violently shaken by the loud bang of scientific weapons. For the first time, the dawn of restoration shone through the thick clouds clearly.
Gradually the heart beat loudly.
The military force that supports a country's financial resources and wipes out many enemies.[
The power that the elves have longed for, the key to opening the door to restoration, is in Li Lin's hands and can be reached within a few steps.
"The radiant future has been opened to us. We will eventually correct the distorted world, and the world will eventually listen to our guidance."
The beating of the heart was so clear that each other could hear it clearly, and a voice in the ancient bloodline began to move.
This voice was not born just now. Thousands of years ago, the remaining elves who preserved the blood of the clan merged the only wish in their hearts into their blood. Their descendants spent so long that their hope and passion were almost exhausted, leaving only scars.
After waiting for more than a thousand years of pain, despair and regret, the sound of the voice has become a little faint, and the numb waiting has begun to become a bit normal.
Now, the "voice" embedded in the genetic gene and passed down to this day once again resonates with the blood through Li Lin's mouth.
Caesar's words stirred up ancient memories, and humiliation and pride flowed through the body along with the blood. Butcher's knife, harsh life, and even the long period of witnessing the rise and fall of several countries, precious things that could not be worn away returned to the ancient wisdom.
in the body.
The country was destroyed, history was tampered with, defeated time and time again by humans and orcs, wanton massacres that came out of nowhere, and the humiliation of being exiled to the wilderness to survive.
After experiencing various events that could completely plunge a race into despair, the elves still did not give up easily.
——【It’s not over yet.】
The surreal voice turned into impulses and screamed loudly in the blood, body, and brain. They can be defeated, but no one can conquer them.
The long-standing depression and decadence were driven away with the soul-shaking cry, fearful courage descended on the elven village, and the almost out-of-control fanaticism continued to clamor.
In the hot air, two cold eyes collided. There was a huge age gap between them, but their eyes were equally profound but equally meaningful. After looking at each other for a moment, they suddenly looked apart.
Looking at the old figure who turned away, and staring again at the shoulders of the young man in front of him, Nidhogg quietly felt the vicissitudes unique to the change of generations.
##################
The tea served to the guests was still an unknown and low-end product. The furnishings in the tent were almost unchanged. There were a few unread parchment volumes recording the flow of materials, financial transactions and other figures and tables.
Different from the visitor who had a quick glance last time, he was careful and reserved with a hint of picky in his deep blue eyes as he carefully looked at the objects, their placement, their neatness, and even the smallest details.
The layout of the room will reflect the personality of the owner. After visiting the small tent, visitors can quickly sum up adjectives that are highly consistent with someone's performance to describe their senses.
Clean, neat, practical, generous and meticulous.
[Some lack youth, vitality and personality, and are too mature.]
Chief Emir, who frowned at the residence of many young elves, nodded at the lifestyle displayed by the tent owners and picked out a few ethereal thorns.[
[Young Mature], [Precocious Mature], and [Little Old Man] are completely different interpretations of the phenomenon of underage intelligent beings showing maturity beyond their years, but not many young men like the last title. The meaning is obviously the same, but the treatment
...How could there be such a difference? The wonder of written language is truly great.
"You are a distinguished and rare guest, but I am extremely sorry. The furnishings here are simple and simple. Even the things to entertain guests are only a cup of crude tea."
Tactful politeness can be criticized, but the difficult conditions are right in front of you. Except for the polite guests who are deliberately looking for trouble, ordinary guests will not complain or complain too much. As for the former, offering a high-end tea party is too much to criticize.
Luxury, low-end tea party to protest unfair discrimination, good or bad tea in front of you will complain that the water is too hot, the tea is too bitter...
The Emir Patriarch doesn't like the boy who invades Niflheim as if he fell from the sky, but he is not a [known spirit fly] or a [Pluto Pig Fighter] who attacks his country with a small piece of imperialist green paper in his hand and sprays feces from his mouth. There is no lack of it.
The dignified and reserved old elf can look at the young man sitting opposite slowly sipping bitter tea with enough rationality.
"We have only been together for a few weeks, but the leadership you have demonstrated in the series of events so far has exceeded my expectations and imagination."
There was no secretiveness or embarrassment about admitting defeat, and the magnanimous affirmation and appreciation showed his sophistication and grace. The child behind Li Lin straightened his body even more. The master was praised, and he was equally honored as a subordinate.
"The unparalleled outstanding person: Siegfried Otto Lilin. In my memory, an individual who can match your miraculous wisdom and ability can be found in the cognizable past, and in the future... I'm afraid there will be
It is unlikely to appear. Correspondingly, your ambition is so huge that it dwarfs the kings of the past and present."
The eyes that had been half-closed for many years suddenly opened, and the sharp points of the carnivorous raptors shot out from the pupils that were no longer cloudy. Nidhogg, who could not bear to be treated like this by his master, couldn't help but want to step forward and scold the old patriarch.
Acting recklessly. Just as he was about to take a step forward, he was immediately faced with substantial pressure. The underage dragon was instantly suppressed by the fearful blue eyes of his youth and was unable to move. The black dragon, who was unable to advance or retreat, turned red.
He glared at the old elf angrily, and his clenched fists made violent cracks of bones.
The lazy voice separated the tense air, and Li Lin's indifference inserted into the hot space where sparks were flying.
"No matter who you are, you must have your own desires or ambitions. The difference is that the capable people just let their desires stay in fantasy. The capable people do their best to sublimate the fantasy into reality. This small group of capable people are
A smaller number of lucky and outstanding people will eventually break through the siege and receive the reward of [Wish Fulfillment]."
It wasn't just the atmosphere that was cut off, Yongrong's voice turned into a refined knife to cut open the flesh, and the soul was undergoing an intrusive observation in the tremor. The fingers of his hands were intertwined, and the young man with an elegant smile seemed like an abyss demon who was trading souls, calmly and calmly.
He examines the transaction process and his customers.
"Even if many lives are involved in the war you started, and even if the world order collapses?"
"You have been preparing for a doom from the beginning, but even if the ending is the worst, change must be carried out. You who are not willing to be trapped until death and are ready to give up the last fight have also already realized it. Am I right?
"
"Using other people's lives as a stepping stone to achieve your goals...this is not praiseworthy behavior."
"It's okay to go back and talk about moral responsibility after the change is completed. Being ruined can bring the world forward from stagnation, which is also a righteous way. Those who are timid about their reputation will not achieve anything."
"Don't be too confident. The world can only be controlled by lofty ideals and empty talk."
"My operation is going well so far."
"Including becoming the most powerful person of the elves, all the elves are used by you?"
Faced with the accusatory questioning and the angry glare of the old elf, Li Lin spread his hands in an arrogant manner, and Li Lin's lips twisted happily.
"That's right, it's exactly what you said."
Nidhogg's hands transformed into a ferocious gesture covered with scales, and his sharp claws like famous knives stretched out. As long as Emil showed an attitude of uncooperation or resistance, the murderous weapon hidden behind his back would immediately tear open the old man's throat.
"As a superior person, your performance is impeccable. You are calm, objective, courageous, have perfect observation and judgment, and more importantly - you are very cold."
There was no preference in the assessment voice, Emil just let the ease of restriction show through.
"The selection conditions are really strict. As expected of the patriarch who has led the village to survive here for nearly a hundred years. On the surface, he strongly opposes it, but in fact he has calmly understood everything."
Li Lin's compliment showed a close attitude, and it seemed that the comments including the last part were in line with his feelings.
"Does this mean I passed your test?"
"Are you satisfied with my approval?"
The old fox, whose tail had turned white, raised his head and sneered as if staring at the henhouse.
"Within one year, it will be enough for the entire elves to recognize my achievements."
The fox's cunningness aside, the lion's roaring majesty left a trembling paralysis in the old elf's body. At this moment, Li Lin's unmistakable voice was not a promise.
The deep voice that was sure that the words spoken at this moment would become a reality, clearing all obstacles, destroying all resistance, and crushing all blockers rolled out from the cracks in the young man's elegant lips.
This is exactly——
The king's declaration.

Nidhogg: What is phosphate fertilizer? What is it used for?
Li Lin: In 1838, British squire Laws (l
oss) treated phosphate rock with sulfuric acid to make phosphate fertilizer, becoming the world's first chemical fertilizer. I use this oldest and simplest method of making chemical fertilizers. Fertilization can not only improve soil fertility, but also increase crop yield per unit area.
Important measures. Chemical fertilizers are the most basic and most important material input in agricultural production. According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (uo), chemical fertilizers account for about 40% to 60% of the total increase in crop production. China can account for 7% of the world's total.
The cultivated land feeds 22% of the world's population. It can be said that chemical fertilizers play a decisive role.
Nidhogg: So, what is the deal with genetically modified crops? Why is genetically modified wheat such a killer?
Li Lin: Transgenic technology is the introduction of artificially isolated and modified genes into the genome of an organism. Due to the expression of the introduced gene, the traits of the organism are heritable. This technology is called transgenic technology (trnsgeehnology).
For example, BT cotton (transgenic insect-resistant cotton, BT stands for Bacillus thuringiensis) is a genetically modified crop developed by Monsanto. It can produce insecticidal ingredients that kill cotton bollworm (heloverpringer). But this new technology
There are also potential risks. On August 30, 2012, the international environmental organization Greenpeace disclosed to the media that Tufts University in the United States used Chinese children to conduct genetically modified rice experiments. The university has admitted that it is the famous [Golden Rice] and Monsanto’s genetically modified corn mice.
If you eat it, you can be sterilized. Needless to say, what will happen to people after eating it? Export this kind of wheat to human society in large quantities for sterilizing offspring... Haha...
Nidhogg: Lord Li Lin, you are so evil...
