Chapter 649: Debunking
"He's got a lot of weird ideas, and I know what he's trying to do. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Melinthera shook her head, but saw Nefi looking left and right, and whispered: "Do you want to go and see? I want to see it, but I'm afraid that my mother will say it..."
"Your mom really cares about everything, that guy Roddy doesn't even know a high-level spell, what else can he research. ”
Melinthera rolled her eyes, she had always felt that Roddy was a guy who was not good at spells, and the things that were tossed out of the blind must not be very technical, so she was reluctant to look at it with a shelf. In her opinion, "papermaking" and "movable type printing" are both very simple things, and the technical content is far inferior to high-level spells.
But... There are some unexpected surprises in the application of these things.
With these deeds in front of her, Merinthera was actually quite curious about what new things Roddy would come up with—Nephie's mention of this immediately gave her a justifiable step, so she coughed and raised her hand, "But I'm idle today, so it doesn't matter if I accompany you to see it." ”
"Yes, yes!"
Nephie's eyes were sly, and he walked briskly downstairs beside Melinthera. The middle level of the Tower is the laboratory of the research department, and it is not open to outsiders. However, as for Merinthera and Nephie, the guys around them pretended not to see it - after all, one is the daughter of the "Guardian", and the other is a high-level mage who fights side by side with Roddy.
The research on "preservative canned food" is nearing completion, and there are many rows of canned food as a comparison group, and the canned fruit smells pretty good. Curious, Nafi looked closer and asked, "I heard them say that this will extend the storage time of the food, is it to keep it for the winter?"
"It's supposed to be eaten when you're at sea. Knowing a lot, she picked up the can and looked at it: "Ships at sea usually do not dock for several months, and the food of the sailors and crew is often very poor, and I remember an allusion that the sailors only eat biscuits in the dark at night, and not during the day. ”
"Why? Is there anything special about the night?"
Nephi really didn't know, and asked back strangely.
The corners of Mai Linsera's mouth curled, and she said with a mischievous smile on her face: "Because those biscuits are as hard as stones, and some have even been left for many years, they are always full of maggots. ”
"Gross..."
Nephie was so frightened that she turned around and covered her mouth, and it took a long time for her to recover. Melinthera laughed out loud - she had lived so long that she could not see what the little girl was hiding, but Nephie was not harboring evil intentions, and she was happy to tease the little girl.
Naifei, who was patting his small chest, knew that he was not an opponent, and stuck out his tongue: "Brother Luo Di is probably afraid that we won't have anything to eat on the ship, so I studied this kind of thing."
"That guy Roddy is not small, with these cans, whether it is wilderness exploration or long-distance navigation, the survival rate of ordinary people will be greatly increased, he wants to explore deeper and wider seas. ”
Merin Sera sighed a little in her heart, canned food, to be honest, also has no technical content in her eyes. However, it is precisely because of the "low technical content" that it can be quickly popularized and applied, so that more people can experience the changes it brings. This is true for paper and printing, and it is also true for cans... Thinking of this, she seemed to understand why Roddy was engaged in these studies.
Research that benefits the entire city and the country is one that is truly excellent.
The two curiously passed through some of the later subject laboratories, from the smelting of various metals to the study of a kind of soil that can be used as a binder, and seemed to see the tip of the iceberg of Roddy's ambition.
When they arrived at the "Automotive" research department, the prototype with a wooden body immediately attracted the attention of the two.
The wooden body, handcrafted by Everta's finest carpenters, has a striking curve, and although the "prototype" is a three-wheeled structure, the body scheme was designed by Roddy to resemble a formula car - with low wind resistance, a low cockpit and exposed tires.
From the side, the "prototype" has a very typical F1 profile, and the large rear wing at the rear is standard for high-end racing cars. The wooden body is brushed with several layers of tung oil, and the polished oil is shiny, and the bird's-eye wood grain on it is extremely gorgeous.
Melinthera and Neffie really didn't expect that Roddy would be able to engage in such an artistic thing, and the two of them looked around for a while, after all, this thing has no precedent, it belongs to the product of the times, and it makes people feel a sense of awe inexplicably.
When he saw the leather-wrapped sports seats in the cockpit, Nefi's eyes lit up, he looked left and right, and asked the researcher next to him, who was nervous and afraid that they would break something, "Is this for sitting? Can I go in and sit?"
"You can sit, you can sit, but don't press those buttons, it will activate the circle and let the car run out..."
Neffie is not a bear child, although the elves are eccentric, but she will not dare to cause trouble. After asking carefully a few times, she carefully lifted her skirt and sat down, while Melinthera, who was watching the car sink down, raised her eyebrows - she had never seen a carriage with shock absorption and suspension, and reached out and pressed the body, and found that the car parked on the flat ground could be shaken by her own force.
"It's an interesting design..."
She naturally knew that having this kind of design meant that the car could filter out a lot of vibrations and bumps, but the magic fluctuations in it made her feel familiar, and she walked to the rear wheel and looked down, and suddenly exclaimed: "Cobalt gold?
The researcher next to him was sweating a little, and he wanted to explain that this was Roddy's order, but thinking that it was really unflattering to say this, he simply remained silent.
Nefi was grabbing the handlebars that controlled the direction and looked left and right, when she heard Merlensella's exclamation, she turned her head and smiled, "Shouldn't 'loser' be what Sister Akasha said?"
"Come on, Akasha doesn't care how much Roddy spends, this kind of thing should be the most distressing thing for your mother. ”
Xiao Nizi's rank is obviously far worse than Merin Sera, and she suddenly "hehe" Yile was confused, and said: "Brother Luo Di must have done this for a reason, I see... He probably wanted to trick others again, so he did it on purpose. ”
"Tsk, you really know him. This guy has a bad stomach, and those who want to take advantage of him are basically miserable in the end. ”
Both of them were deeply touched by this topic, and they immediately laughed together. Nafi touched the smooth body and quipped: "Brother Roddy has just been out for a week, and I heard that the 'Pit Viper Cross' and the royal family have been miserable, that emperor is really pitiful, and I guess I still haven't understood why I have suffered." ”
"Charles II, it is enough for me to say that he is an idle nobleman. To conquer this kind of thing, you still have to have a brain. ”
One is an old guy who has lived for thousands of years, and the other is a little Lori who is only fifteen years old, but the two chatted on a topic without any sense of disobedience, this strange scene made Camilla on the other side of the city cry and laugh, but thinking about what they said, he felt that he seemed willing to join in the discussion of a few words.
That guy seems to have some kind of strange magic.
And in the palace of Cullen, Emperor Charles II, who was discussed by Merinthera and Nefi, was indeed a little confused at this time.
What about the attack on Ivota that is said to be?
What about the promised month to seize the outlying cities?
The menu of the celebration banquet has been finalized, why would someone suddenly come over and tell them that the army has been defeated?
The collapse of the legion was forgotten, and it turned out that it was not caused by the attack on Ivotah, but by the attack on the "Temple" - Charles II wanted to turn over the annex of his previous order... Let's see if he drank too much one day and let Mirno attack the "Rosicruc"?
"Duvedon, are you saying that all of this was caused by a mistake in Mirno's command? I can't figure out what kind of mistake could have caused his army to change its march and rush to the city of the 'Temple'?"
So far, "The Age of Karen" has not appeared in the palace, so Charles II's intelligence sources basically rely on sporadic feedback from the front, and his intelligence system is too far behind "The Age of Karen", and even the Pope is seriously injured and half retired, and the two elders of the Viper Cross are killed by Roddy.
To put it bluntly, this is a barrier set up by Mirno in order to achieve his own goals, and when he is powerful, others dare not pierce this fact at all. However, now that he was defeated, Count Duveden seized the opportunity to bring him down!
"Your Majesty, the specific information of the war is very clear, in fact... It was Mistress Mirno who was hiding a lot of things. ”
It stands to reason that this kind of exposing things shouldn't be said by him directly, so he has to have a henchman come out to lead the topic. But Count Duvedon had just integrated into this inner circle, and was a single figure among the nobles of the whole hall, and there were no comrades willing to be the vanguard for him, so he had to personally take all the newspapers of the Cullen Age that had been issued so far, and raise his hands in front of Charles II.
"It's... What?"
Charles II reached out and took the newspaper, and when he looked around, he noticed that the nobles who usually looked different in their manners had all bowed their heads—and this suddenly gave him a premonition that something was not right.
The familiar feel of parchment made his eyes squint, and the straw paper he had secretly bought had been used a lot these days. But the words "The Age of Cullen" in his hand made him frown—he remembered that Mirno had shown him the kind of newspaper written in parchment, and the content on it was quite pleasant, but... Where did this come from? )
