Chapter 573: Dimensional Stone Grenade
When escaping from the underground treasure house of the pyramid of the Imperial Academy of Light and Magic, the stone took a total of four things with him, each of which was a peerless treasure.
They are the "Book of Resurrection" in the "Nine Volumes of Nagash", which is kept by the Black Orc Lord himself.
The five major families of vampires, the immortal ring of Vlad, the patriarch of the Castenin family, the "Ring of Castenin", is currently in the hands of Brady Silverfoot, the chief elder of the "Night Prayer Order".
There is also the first major sect of the dark elves, the holy relic "Blood Grail" of the "Kane Sect", which was taken away by Moria, and it is estimated that it is now on the continent of "Nagarus".
As for the last one, it is the design blueprint of the Empire's top secret, the most powerful war machine, and the steam tank, known as the "Angel Trial".
Back at the Tribal Stone, he handed the parchment to Pesti Calamity, but after calling Ayigunu and Abu together for a meeting, everyone felt that it was not time to study the technology.
The most important thing is that the reserves of personnel and technology are insufficient, which requires a lot of time and money, so it was unanimously decided to study the low-tech projects first, which should be regarded as practice, so the stone used technology points to change the grenade drawings from the system.
Now that there is the "Goblin Arsenal", the problem of talent training has been fundamentally solved, the team has been run-in, the technology accumulation has also been accumulated, and the combination of the Nezumi Engineer Warlock and the Goblin Tinkman is also okay, it is time to start researching the most advanced steam engine technology at present.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, although there are drawings and some experience in the "Scurry Clan", but when they really get started, Pesti and Abu know how difficult it is.
In the face of this new technology, they worked tirelessly for ten days and ten nights in a row to make the prototype behind it, but the final result was not ideal, after the burning coal converted water into steam, the heat loss was too much, and the kinetic energy generated was very small, which could not be applied to practice, let alone drive a heavy tank made entirely of metal.
While there was still time, Pesti took a stone to look at the sample machine they had painstakingly built, although it was inefficient, but the parents did not think that their children were ugly, after all, they also risked their lives to make it.
It's really life-threatening, you must know that the boiler of the steam engine itself is unstable, with high temperature and high pressure, and it may explode if you are not careful.
And don't forget, what comes out of the goblin's hand has its own "explosion" attribute, like Abu's trait, which has a +10% explosion chance...... So, in the process of making the sample machine, they encountered two explosions, and three goblin technicians burped on the spot, which can be said to pay the price of blood, but fortunately, these goblins, like Abu, are all technical maniacs, and they are not frightened, but continue to work.
Pesti was puzzled at first, because for the timid and selfish rat people, once they encounter such an unstable and life-threatening experiment, they must have stayed away, but these goblins are completely opposite, but they are like chicken blood, and they work harder.
Later, after asking Abu, I found out that for these goblin technicians, it was very Waaagh to be able to die at the hands of something they made! things.
This incident has changed the impression of these high-minded nezumi engineer warlocks on these frizzy and clever, clever and lazy green mushrooms, including the two nezumi apprentices he brought, and everyone has worked more harmoniously, working together, and finally tossed the first sample machine.
The stone circled around this big guy who could be said to be a failure, and made a few small suggestions, don't look at the dispute between the rat man and the goblin just now, in fact, about the principle of the steam engine, he knows only that, and he doesn't know the specifics, he can only be studied by his subordinates themselves, it can be imagined, and there will be sacrifices in the future.
There's also this new "Goblin Arsenal", and the stone doesn't want it to be destroyed in an explosion, but fortunately there is a new, better, and stronger place for them to experiment.
After this research, Pesti and Abu will move with the most elite group of researchers to the newly built stronghold "Nomorigan", where the "Mad Gopher Lab" is supposed to be grass tolerant.
As for these arsenals and workshops, they cannot be moved because they do not belong to a province, and will continue to exist as production bases.
The new "Nomorigan" is very close to the "Steel Rock", and as long as there is time, Ayigunu will also pass, and the three major tech houses will gather together, and they should be able to take down the steam technology.
It's false to say that the stone is not in a hurry, and now he has completed all the other requirements for the main quest, just the last one, the level of the subclass "Scavenger Kid", if the steam engine is not good in a short time, he will have to consider exchanging a blueprint from the system to make something else.
But he won't urge Pace to mention them, scientific research is originally piled up with time and money, anyway, there are drawings, as long as the direction is right, don't be afraid.
The presentation of new weapons on the other side was ready, and it took a little time because, at the request of the stone, it was a real combat test.
Led by Pesti and Abu, Stone and Bear left the arsenal and went to the back of another "goblin workshop".
The workshop is now dedicated to the production of "dimensional stone grenades", led by one of the oldest goblin technicians, so the proving ground is also in a large open space behind the workshop.
There were seven or eight wooden stakes in the clearing, each of which was about ten meters apart, and a green skin that kept struggling and screaming was tied to it, the difference was that some were fart spirits and some were goblins.
They are all greenskins who have recently made mistakes in the territory, because there is no prison, these guys used to be sent to "Steel Rock" to mine, but since there is a goblin workshop, there is a new place to go, and that is to come here as experimental materials.
Since it is a test of the power of the new weapon, it is natural to see the blood in a real way.
A goblin technician brought ten grenades, the shape of which was different from the one in Shi Mind's mind.
Underneath is a wooden handle for easy grasping and throwing, but instead of a metal cartridge that can cause an explosion, it is a transparent glass ball with some green powder and gunpowder mixed inside.
Pesti briefly explained a few words on the side, this kind of "dimensional stone grenade" is based on their ordinary black powder grenade, improved, the principle is the same, the main difference is that most of the black powder is replaced with more powerful dimensional stone powder, as for how powerful this is, the stone decided to try it himself.
The nezumi engineer warlock explained the operation process to him, it was very simple and brainless, just pull the bracelet and throw it out.
This is also specially required by the stone, and the steps must be simple, otherwise those orcs may not be too lazy to use it at all.
As for the throwing posture, I have never eaten pork and watched pigs run, so I have long known it.
The previous test was done by ordinary orcs, whose thick arms could throw grenades to about a hundred meters, and the stones were naturally stronger, so he padded the wooden handles on his hands and decided to try one hundred and fifty meters.
It turned out that he was underestimating his arm strength, and with little effort, the grenade made a beautiful arc and landed directly at the feet of some hapless goblin.
There was a loud bang and a strange puff of green smoke, and the smoke and dust cleared, and a large pit appeared in the ground, and there was no need to check the results, because the stake and the goblin on it were gone, leaving only a puddle of blood.
Not only him, but even the two targets on the left and right were also affected by the pond fish and taken away in a wave, but they were better, at least they could have some stumps and broken arms left.
"I'm going! Bull fork! ”
The Black Orc Lord raised his arms and shouted, this power was absolutely terrifying, far beyond what he had imagined before.
"I don't think I can try it like this, why don't we try it again? Ay! Big bear, don't run! ”
