Chapter 55: The firepower output must keep up
"It's really careless, how could I even miss such a basic question... Reproduction must be accompanied by evolution, even in the most deformed form of reproduction. ”
Momo's words reminded Shelley that this race, which relied on deformities for reproduction, was likely to have ushered in evolution, and it was based on magical evolution.
But unlike the superpowers, they are an entire race that has ushered in a certain evolution, which is very fascinating.
The abilities of the supernatural are strange, and they suddenly become like this one day after birth, and such a change is not so much evolution as mutation.
However, according to the situation of the blue-skinned ghosts mentioned by Momo, Shelley judged that they should be different from birth, which is closer to evolution and better explains why there is a group size.
She could understand that the so-called Divine Flower Seed should have taken thousands of years of evolution to speed up. But I really can't understand what kind of reason would have led to such an evolution.
Unlike sudden mutations in individuals, the evolution of a population in one direction means that the environment must have influenced them to make the same genetic choice.
So the question is, what kind of environment will make the greenskins evolve into blueskins who can craft iron weapons out of thin air?
"Momo, what's the size of the Blue Skinner?"
"There are very few, but there are three or four in almost every tribe."
I don't know! Shelley was a little overwhelmed, saying that his knowledge could subvert the world, but on the other hand, isn't the world subverting his own knowledge?
Seeing Shelley's appearance of scratching his ears and cheeks because of thinking, Mo Mo couldn't help but say: "If Her Royal Highness the princess really can't figure it out, we'll go and catch a few for you!" ”
"Don't! Now is not the time to startle the snake. Shelley rejected Momo's suggestion, knowing that there was no urgency, "There are more important things for you to do right now." ”
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, please speak."
"You'll need to record the location of the greenskins you've found, and use Crimson Moon's abilities. Then, in the time I'm away, find something for me. ”
As she spoke, Shelley took a jar and poured a white powder substance from it. The powders had a sour, pungent smell, and Momo and Shelley were fine, but Duya didn't like the smell very much and seemed a little irritated.
"Calm down, write down this smell, I want you to find the corresponding veins outside through this smell."
Mo Mo looked at the powder curiously and asked, "Your Royal Highness, what are these?" ”
"A thing that can be ignited by preheating, and for the sake of your understanding, you can call it gunpowder."
In fact, strictly speaking, this is not gunpowder, but nitrate ash, which is the most important raw material for making gunpowder.
This thing would be formed with the dung in a dark, damp place, which Shelley had collected in the corner of the hut himself.
For it, Shelley even ordered all the inhabitants to help collect it together, at the price of one copper coin per kilogram. So all the people were mobilized at once.
However, although the efficiency has been improved, it cannot change the reality that there is not much quantity, after all, these are only a little change based on the human living environment, and they cannot meet the needs of thermal weapons at all.
So, be sure to find a natural saltpeter mine to buy before these are consumed. In this way, there is no need to worry about the supply of gunpowder.
Even if you encounter a large number of enemies, you can let go of fire without thinking about saving ammo.
"Whew~" Duya threw a puzzled look at himself.
Shelley rubbed its head and said, "This task is more important, so I won't take you with me this time." ”
Yes, Shelley didn't bring either a superpower or a single tooth this time, only a few retinues who had been to Canterlot. Because of this, many people have opposed it.
Of course, it is useless to object. She wasn't worried about the safety that everyone was worried about. First of all, even if the Duke of Poka couldn't get used to himself, he would never dare to let himself have an accident on his turf.
As for the superpowers, considering that there will be radicals who will come up like white smoke and die, Shelley has the holy stone on her body this time, and as long as this is there, the superpower's abilities will be ineffective against her.
In order to make Owen and the others let down their guard, she took a big gamble and destroyed her only holy stone in front of them.
Later, because of the white smoke incident, she realized that she should still leave some means of protection for herself, after all, some people will die when they come up, and they will not give you a chance to explain.
After taking over this place this time, Shelley did not destroy the holy stones that were confiscated, except for leaving a little self-defense, and some for research.
In the future, if you want to create a society where humans and superpowers coexist, the existence of the Holy Stone will be very much in the way. No matter how much destruction there is, new ones will come out.
So instead of destroying, find a way to neutralize it directly. Naturally, no one has an opinion on Shelley's decision.
After letting Momo and Duya leave first, Shelley went to a quiet courtyard alone. She knocked softly on the door.
"White smoke, it's me, can I come in?"
As soon as the words ended, the door was automatically opened, and Shelley saw that Bai Yan's hand slowly returned to its original state.
"Your own place, is it necessary to be so polite? Just come in. ”
"Respect for others starts with respecting their privacy." Shelley laughed.
"Hmph~ Flim Flam." Bai Yan snorted, "What are you looking for me?" ”
"It's nothing, just ask how you're preparing."
"Almost, as soon as you go, we'll go together." Speaking of this, Bai Yan looked at Shelley, and there was no hostility in his eyes, "I really didn't expect that you would really agree with me to take them away." ”
Shelley shook his head: "What you said is not right, it's not that I don't agree with it, but they want to follow you, this is their own will, of course I have no right to stop it." ”
The two of them were talking about the three superpowers who had been here before. After listening to Shelley and White Smoke's statements, they all said that they chose to follow White Smoke back to the organization behind them instead of staying to assist Shelley.
It has to be said that not all superpowers will choose to stay with humans after they are liberated. After all, what happened to them as filthy slaves was hell.
However, they chose to go back with Bai Yan, not only because Bai Yan had saved them before, but because all three of them were left with irreparable injuries due to inhuman treatment.
One of the teenagers had his entire face burned by a heated iron plate, and there was no hair on his scalp. The other two girls, one of whom had a fractured right leg, was not treated in time, and it was also twisted after automatic repair and could not be straightened normally. Another lost an ear and several fingers.
Shelley still remembers how angry she was when she first saw it. I can't wait to dig up Chesef and whip the corpse again.
Fortunately, I heard that the superpowers in Bai Yan's organization have healing powers, and even severed limbs can grow back, so this is the most important reason why they all want to go over.
Of course, their gratitude to Shelley is also from the bottom of their hearts, and they are willing to provide Shelley with their own strength when she needs help in the future.
