Chapter Errors/Click here to report

After entering the research institute, I found that there were actually only four halls surrounding a courtyard, and most of the staff, including NPCs, were concentrated in the hall on the side of the street! The first thing we entered was the main hall on the side of the street, where most of the office workers were located, and behind the hall was the courtyard, where a lot of messy materials were placed. There are halls around the courtyard, and this is the real research part, and under normal circumstances, ordinary people are not allowed to enter here!

After entering the courtyard, we first entered the main hall opposite, which is the real room of magic science, where the floating technology was born. It's a mess and there's hardly anything to understand, and I'm not interested in looking at it. The next target is the main hall on the left side of the courtyard, which specializes in mechanical principles, and unlike the Magical Science Room, things here are generally unpowered, mainly geared. But there's one thing that's appealing, and that's the cannon!

The technology of rear-loading artillery in Europe is obviously one level higher than that of Asia, although it has not fought with European warships, but the performance number is known. In the absence of high-power gunpowder, European artillery can maintain the same power and range as Asian artillery, which is a high achievement, and what makes me pay more attention is the cost of European artillery! I don't know why the cost of the cannon here is much lower than ours, basically the cost of two ram dragon cannons can buy three Germans of this kind of cannon, if you have your own factory, then the price is cheaper!

"Do you sell this technology?" I pointed to the gun I was fanciing.

Asford seemed a little embarrassed, and I knew that I was asking too much. Combat readiness resources are different from other things, they don't just have to make money! After sinking for a minute, Ashford spoke, "Can you wait for me for ten minutes?" ”

I thought he was going to reject me, but now it seems like there's a door! Hurry up and nod your head! "Of course!"

Asford turned around and ran out, but he didn't come back after half an hour had passed, and the guy who stayed with me apologized to me and said that he would be there in a while! Fortunately, there are a lot of good things here, and I will turn slowly if he doesn't come back, anyway, this guy next to him is the person in charge here, and he knows everything when he asks, and he explains it in detail!

Forty minutes later, Asford finally returned. "I'm so sorry! We didn't agree internally, so we lost some time! ”

"And what about the result?"

"It's okay to sell, but we don't want money!"

"Don't want money? So what do you want? I don't have anything to trade with you! ”

"How could it not be?" Asford shook his head and said, "My subordinates have just informed me that the warships of your fleet are equipped with very advanced thrusters, and the power is at least five times that of our thrusters, isn't this technology enough?" I was about to say that the technology was not ours, but Asford interrupted me and said, "You don't need to say it, I understand that the thruster technology is worth more than my artillery technology." I certainly won't let you lose money! Please follow me! ”

I followed him to the corner of the hall in confusion, he pressed on the wall, and a door appeared on the wall, and there was actually a secret room! This chamber is not very large, about the size of an ordinary classroom. Everything in the room was covered with canvas, and Ashford walked over and pulled the canvas off, and two shining silver objects appeared in front of my eyes!

"What is this?"

Ashford introduced them one by one: "This big one is a cannon!" ”

"See! It's obvious! ”

"This is no ordinary cannon, this is the treasure of our guild, a super heavy gun with a range of up to 100 kilometers! This time I bought gunpowder technology with you for it, and with your gunpowder, it should have a range of up to 120 kilometers. This range is basically 4 to 6 times that of other countries' artillery, and we can rely on the power of ultra-long-range artillery to get the enemy out of range! With this thing, both the British and the French are easy to deal with! ”

"But the line of sight of our lookout hand and telescope is more than 90 kilometers? Even if the weather is good, 100 km is the limit! How do you shoot at a target that is out of sight? What about accuracy? You can't shoot from coverage, right? ”

"Of course! Our method is to use the Outpost Ship for the fleet to observe! This outpost is also not a new invention, it is nothing more than a small warship. We designed this ship to have a large number of thrusters on it, and nothing but two small-caliber self-defense guns, so that its speed would be quite terrifying. When shooting, let the outpost ship reach between us and the target, observe the enemy's position and notify the team with the flag, and then we can shoot accurately. Anyway, the sentinel ship only observes the shooting effect, and it doesn't need to enter the enemy's range, plus its small size and fast speed, even if it enters the enemy's range, it is not easy to be hit, it is definitely a very good design! ”

After talking for a long time, it turned out that the Germans' plan was like the laser-guided artillery shells being used by the ** teams, sending an outpost reconnaissance vehicle to the vicinity of the enemy to irradiate the target with a laser, and then the long-range artillery only needed to fire the shells in the general direction, and the shells themselves would fly after the laser reflected by the target! Ashford's technology is simply a variant of that laser-guided technology, but I have to admit that the accuracy of this method is top-notch!

"What's that next to that?"

"Huh this?" Asford pointed to the smaller thing and said, "This thing is a repeating ballista, and we designed it mainly for air defense!" ”

"Repeating ballistas?" Isn't that equivalent to a rapid-fire machine gun? "How's this thing's rate of fire?"

"The fastest speed is two rounds in three seconds, but it often jams! This thing is still in the research stage, and it has not been finalized! ”

"Add these two technologies together, I'll change!" The giant wolf that was airborne by the flying monster in the last monster siege almost broke through the defense and entered the Gathering Tower, if we had rapid-fire ballistas, we could basically prevent the invasion of air power, which is a good thing! Although Atlantis said not to transfer that thruster technology when he sold it to us, he didn't say not to transfer it! I can exchange this technique for two techniques back, it shouldn't be light, right?

"Deal!" Ashuford's answer this time was crisp, and I guess when he brought me in, he thought that I would ask for both of them together.

Asked Rose to go back to the ship to get the tech scroll, and Ashford and I shook hands again. The two are very good at business, although it is exchanged for technology, but it feels different from spending money to buy, and I always feel very happy, so I am in a good mood. "What's the use of going to my place in the future, just ask, our Frost Rose Alliance is willing to be an ally of the Iron Cross!"

I thought that Ashford would be polite with me, but I didn't know that he suddenly popped up and said, "Really? I really need your help! ”

Dizzy! Forget about the cultural differences between the East and the West! What the Chinese say next time to help is generally a kind of polite words, which belong to the language of the scene, and can be understood as diplomatic rhetoric without any effect. But the cultures of the West and the East are very different, and Ashford thinks I really want help, and he really needs help! There's no way, the words have been spoken, it's not good to regret it immediately!

"What's the matter? If I can do it, I'll help! "It's better to get vaccinated first, and if you can't do it, it's easy to explain!

Ashuford may not be very sure: "Actually, as long as you try it, it doesn't matter if you can finish it or not!" ”

"What the hell is going on?" It looks tricky, and Ashford's words mean he doesn't even think I can do the job!

"We've got a very important guild mission that requires us to collect 30 purple leaf grasses! Whether it's picking it yourself, snatching it from others, buying it, or simply planting it yourself, in short, no matter how you do it, as long as you can get 30 plants, you can complete the task! ”

"This grass can't be so scarce that there are not enough 30 plants in total, right?"

"It's a lot!"

"It's very scattered and not easy to collect?"

"All the purple leaves of the country grow in one place!"

"Oh! I see, the terrain is strange and you can't get in! ”

"That place is a flat mirror-like plateau, with two wide avenues to go up, not to mention people, even horse-drawn carriages can drive in!"

"Why can't you get it if the environment is so good?" I suddenly remembered, "It can't be that there are troublesome monsters nearby, right?" ”

"You're right!" Asford nodded helplessly, and then sighed: "First of all, we posted the acquisition notice, but no one was able to get it!" Then we decided to pick it ourselves. At first, a team of 7 people was sent in, but ......! ”

"What's wrong?"

"It's all back!"

"Then send someone again!"

"Later, a team of ten people was sent, and the result was ......!"

"It's over again?" I asked tentatively.

He nodded! "In the end, we decided to go all-in and mobilize players above the average level of the entire guild! More than 7,000 people went up together, and within 3 minutes, they walked 200 meters! Then ......"

"Killed again?" Seeing Asford nod again, I was skeptical, "You're not kidding, are you?" 7,000 people were cleared in 3 minutes, and no one rushed out more than 200 meters? What monster is so powerful? It can't be a dragon gathering place, right? ”

I don't think there are any monsters that can be so powerful, but if there is, it's a dragon! But a dragon can't kill 7,000 people in the blink of an eye! Unless it is a dragon gathering place like Dragon Island, if it is that kind of place, let alone 7,000 people, even 70,000 people can't last three minutes!

Watching Ashuford wait for his answer. "It's a gathering place, but it's not a dragon's! It's something else, something we don't know how to describe it! It's quite a lot, and we're seeing about tens of thousands! ”

"No wonder! There are only 7,000 of you, and there are tens of thousands of them, so if the level difference is not much, 3 minutes is already good! But it's still not right! They have a numerical advantage and can indeed take you out in 3 minutes, but how did they attack so many of you piled up? It is unlikely that an attack on seven thousand people will be carried out at the same time, right? ”

"That's the key! These things fly, and they're so fast that we're done without even having time to react! ”

"Don't you have a burst of ballistas? Can't you push that thing up? ”

"The limits for repeating ballistas and artillery are the same!"

"Got it!" The restriction of artillery is only limited to the use of cities and warships, although the cannons can be dismantled and transported away, but there is no way to use the cannons without the battleship or city, and there is only one possibility to use the cannons in the field, that is, siege warfare, but there is still a limit, that is, you can't leave the target city too far! Since the restrictions of the repeating ballista are the same as those of other cannons, they cannot be transported!

"Since you want my help, then try to tell me as much as possible, I need to know the number of these things, the more detailed the better! By the way, do you know what weaknesses they have? And how do they attack? Physical attack or magic? ”

"Follow me, I'll tell you slowly!" Asford led me to the main hall on the right side of the courtyard, and at first I was curious about what this last hall was for, but when I came in, I was startled! It's a herbarium! There are a large number of biological specimens in the main hall, which is simply strange! Asford led me through the specimens in front to the back section, which was strangely stuffed with some equipment! He led me to a full-body suit of armor that was put together and stood like a person. "Take a closer look!"

I took a closer look at the armor and studied it for a while. The armor is ordinary, there are no features, there are a few laps around it, the only oddity is that there are 4 holes in the armor! There is an arm-thick triangular hole in the belly of the armor, and the same hole is pierced in the corresponding place in the back. At the top of this cave is a much smaller circular hole, located in the heart of the human body. There is also a small hole about the same size behind the helmet of the armor!

In any case, these four holes must have killed the owner of the armor at that time, and Ashford's leaving the armor may be a feature that is convenient for suing other people for this kind of injury. "That's what this stuff does?"

Asford nodded, "Do you see anything?" ”

"The two holes in the belly of the armor were large, and there were no obvious signs of curl. If you guessed correctly, these two holes were caused by something very sharp passing through the user's body from the front, and it was very fast! As for the small holes in the heart and back of the head, it seems that there is a special reason, it is estimated that this monster was left when it sucked blood and sucked brains! ”

Bang Bang Bang! There was applause behind him. Ashuford said: "Your analytical skills are very strong! ”

"It's nothing!" I've only seen trauma dissection many times in the Dragon Edge base, so I know more about the causes of trauma! You must know that ballistic traumatology is also Longyuan's strong point!

Asford pointed to the hole in the belly of the armor and said: "This armor is actually a set of reserve equipment of mine, which was originally intended to be sold after completing that mission, but because I wanted to stay for others to study, I never repaired it, but saved it for research!" The monster's name was 'Spear', and it had a triangular pyramid more than two meters long on its head. When the monster flies, this triangular pyramid is right in front of the monster! ”

"Isn't that a knight's bayonet?"

"That's right! That's why it's called a spear! It swooped down from my front that day, and with the power of the dive, it was so fast that it was almost in front of me in a flash! I didn't even have time to react and my abdomen was penetrated! ”

"It's not going to be a one-hit kill, is it?"

"Nope! I wasn't dead at the time, but I heard a system prompt saying that I had been severely injured and incapacitated! Actually, it's a paralyzing effect, but I don't know how long it lasts! After I was pierced by it, it began to climb and take me up into the air. Although I had only lost a third of my life at the time, two transparent tentacles protruded from the monster's head. The first tentacle was inserted into my heart, and then I saw red blood flowing from the transparent tube towards the monster, and the other tube remained unmoved until I had the last bit of life left, and the other tube suddenly went around the back of my head, and I only felt a pain in the back of my head and hung up, presumably it started to suck the brain! ”

"It seems that the means of attack are quite average, nothing more than speed! As long as you can dodge that attack, you'll be fine! ”

"It's not as simple as you think! I build yì you don't mumble about them! ”

"I see!"

"By the way, the number jù I got from the people who were killed, and after a little consolidation, I got the detailed number of the spear. The spear is a level 800 creature, and its defense is normal for a creature of this level, but it has low health. I don't know much about speed, but one thing is for sure, it's faster than any creature I've ever seen! In terms of attack power, it should be said that it is relatively weak, it stands to reason that level 800 creatures can kill us lightly, but the spear can't do this, of course, it is also possible that it deliberately does not kill us in order to suck blood and brains, this is not necessarily, in short, there is nothing wrong with being careful! The last thing to note is that this thing moves in groups, dozens of people patrol in groups, and if you spot an enemy or food, you will immediately attract a large group! ”

"Feel accustomed to being like a bee! It's a bit tricky! But luckily, your mission is to ask for purple leaves instead of spears, so you should be able to sneak in! ”

"Don't even think about it!" Asford interrupted me, "The spear doesn't have any organs that look like eyes, at least we've never seen them. In other words, it is simply blind, and the stealth skills of assassins and thieves are meaningless to it, it can't see anything anyway! There must be another way for the spear to find its target, most likely with bat-like ultrasound, or with the same thermal imaging as a rattlesnake! Anyway, stealth is useless to it, otherwise we would have gotten our hands on the purple leaf grass a long time ago! ”

"What a troublesome creature!"

Ashford looked at the sky outside. "Jianyì, you better wait until the sky is completely bright before you go! These things don't need light at all, and the night is more beneficial to them! ”

I pointed to my eyes. "I'm a night visioner!"

"But my people aren't!" Asford said, "How many people do you need?" I'm going to assemble now! ”

"There was a guy who led the way to send me to the side of the plateau! Also, do you have any pictures of purple leaves? At least let me know what it looks like! I also have the art of identification, but I can't identify them one by one, right? ”

"We don't have any of them here, so we can't help it! However, it is easy to recognize. That thing only has three leaves, and it's purple, and it doesn't grow anything but leaves! Also, don't think of it as a normal plant, it doesn't look like a plant, it looks like a crystal! You don't have to worry, that thing looks very special, you can see it at a glance! ”

"If it's really as special as you say, that's fine! Ask someone to take me now! I also have a mission in Germany this time, so I can't afford to delay too much time! ”

"Okay! If you can complete the mission, I'll buy those purple leaves from you according to the conditions announced at the beginning! ”

Asford took me back to the House of Councils, where the Roses were trading two Tech Scrolls with the Iron Crossers. Seeing me come back, Rose came over. "The deal is done, can we now go to the Death Mountains to pick up the Mist Legion?"

"No, wait, I'm going to do a mission!"

"How long does it take? We're running out of time! ”

"One day at most! I'll be back before dark at night! "Lance doesn't care about the night, but I can't! Although it is night vision, but after all, it is limited, my night vision is at a distance, and I can't see clearly if it's too far away! If I can't complete the task at night, I'll come out by myself, or simply hang back, anyway, I can't lose the equipment when I die, and the magic dragon suit will be automatically repaired, and there is a teleportation point on the Biling, and I will return to the Biling when I die, just drop two levels without much loss!
