Chapter 54
"Shall we ask Lord Feleg?" Will said hesitantly, they were not familiar with Feleg, they had been together for a while, but Feleg was basically nowhere to be seen, he always meditated in his room.
Kai thought for a moment and said: "Forget it, if Your Excellency wants to tell us, you don't need to ask at all, if you don't want to tell us, don't talk too much, anyway, we already know, these armors are definitely good things, I suspect it's magic equipment." ”
"Magical equipment, but I've never heard of armor that can regenerate itself. Will said that the two of them came from the Empire's security forces, and they had some knowledge, and they had been to the magic equipment store a few times.
"Who knows, our lord is a magician, and we won't understand what he makes. With these equipment, our combat effectiveness has improved too much, and we really want to fight the Mayan army again. Kay said.
"Come on, look at what kind of battle we fought yesterday, as commanders, we should feel blush, from today onwards, we should train well, at least not worse than the regular army, otherwise I'm sorry for these armors, do you say?"
Kai nodded in agreement, remembering yesterday's battle, he really felt that his face was red and hot, what a shame for the Imperial soldiers. Originally, they still looked down on Feleg, a person from a small principality, and if Feleg was not a magician, they would definitely not want to become the private army of the Landis family.
Looking at Polg Li, the Imperial Minister of Military Aircraft, who was walking briskly from outside the main hall, Emperor Wu Tian put down the copywriting in his hand and moved his limbs. Emperor Wu Tian was a very diligent emperor who devoted himself to the building of the empire from the beginning of his accession to the throne.
However, the empire is so big that even if a good decree is issued, it will take too long to implement it, not to mention that sometimes the executor misinterprets the decree and it takes more time to correct it.
Emperor Wu Tian has been in power for twenty-two years, and during these twenty-two years, the empire's economy has grown considerably, and the state tax revenue is fifteen times that of twenty years ago, which is a remarkable achievement.
Although he longed to establish meritorious deeds, he knew very well that the empire was too large and had a large population, and it was already very difficult to manage the current land and population, otherwise the ancestors would not have divided so many kingdoms and principalities.
But let him be a Taiping Emperor, he is really unwilling in his heart, and he always hopes to do something. This war with the Mayan Empire really went as he pleased. He didn't think it was okay to swallow the Mayan Empire, those lands didn't make any sense, there were too many lands for him to occupy if he wanted to, and they didn't need war to get them.
As for the population of the Mayan Empire, it is also not worth fighting, 600 million people is already too much, not to mention the people of other kingdoms and principalities. Elemental ore, great, there is actually such a vein, with a large amount of elemental ore, I don't know what will make the country become?
He didn't dare to say anything else, at least he could increase the number of magicians, those apprentices with slightly less talent, with enough elemental crystals, still had a chance to become magicians, even if it was only a low-level and mid-level magician.
"Bolger, is this the latest battle report from the front?"
"Sort of, a very strange battle report. Polg replied.
"Oh, who else is coming with you?" Emperor Wu Tian saw just now that there was another figure in front of the gate of the Qinzheng Palace, and he was sure that it was not a guard.
"Back to Your Majesty, it's Clark who came with the minister. ”
"Clark, that is a very famous alchemist?" Wu Tian asked curiously, this alchemist is very famous in the empire, but such a person is not qualified to enter the imperial palace.
"It's him. ”
"It seems that this battle report is related to the alchemist, which makes me curious. Emperor Wu Tian said with a smile, in addition to intense work, if you can hear some interesting things, it is not bad, it is a kind of adjustment.
"This battle report came from Little Bear City, one of the logistics supply bases of the Left Wing Army on the front line, and was sent by the commander of Little Bear City, Viscount Vero Tahan, Third Major General of the Empire. ”
Emperor Wu Tian frowned, a small third-class major general, the Viscount of the Empire, and he is also from the logistics base, with his identity, he should first report to the commander-in-chief of the logistics base, then the commander of the left-wing group, and then the commander-in-chief of the front, and finally it can be transmitted to the military aircraft.
"The first half of the war report is a skirmish, the elite knights sent by the Mayan Empire tried to lure and annihilate the defenders of Little Bear City, the army of the Duchy of Deresa, with two hundred victories over one thousand, one hundred and sixteen enemies, twenty-six prisoners, nine losses of the Deland army, and the others were slightly wounded. ”
A very inconspicuous victory, in the entire front line, there are millions of troops, after a big battle, it is normal to kill hundreds of thousands of enemies, but hundreds of casualties, I am afraid that even the staff officers of the military aircraft department will not report to it.
The Duchy of Deland is a very small principality, Emperor Wu Tian is very diligent, but he also knows that this small principality, with a population of two or three million, is rich in grain, and has several refined iron mines, but other than that, it seems that there is nothing worth paying attention to.
"According to the investigation of Major General Vero and his deputy, Baron Lauren, the two hundred members of the Deland Army are all new troops, who have not been on the battlefield, and their training is ordinary, which is only equivalent to the level of the Imperial Security Army. The point was that the armor of these people was very special, and Major General Vero believed that he had enough reason to infer that the armor of this team was several times better than any kind of armor of the current Imperial Army, and even better than the armor made entirely of Iron Mother. ”
"Haha...... Is this Vero drinking too much, better than the armor made by the Iron Mother? In the entire empire, except for the 1,000 people of my personal guard team equipped with the Iron Mother armor, there is no formed team with such equipment. Even if he is a first-class general, if he has not made outstanding contributions to the empire, it is impossible to give the Iron Mother Armor. Emperor Wu Tian said disdainfully, he believed that Major General Vero had never seen the Iron Mother armor at all, let alone knew how strong this armor was.
"Accompanying this report was a small fragment of armor, stolen from the armor that Major General Vero had spoken. Polg said with an unchanged face.
"Oh, I see, that's why you brought Clark Alchemist here, tell me, what kind of metal is that. Emperor Wu Tian was a little surprised, he thought it was a joke that Polge had come to tell him, but now it didn't seem like it.
"After a number of alchemists, and finally identified by Clarke, it was a small piece of memory metal. ”
"Memory metal? Are you talking about that kind of junk metal?" Emperor Wu Tian naturally knew what memory metal was, but he didn't know much, only that this kind of metal was called junk metal, and no one liked to use it.
This metal is much more abundant than pure gold and dense silver, but it can't be refined and processed, and although it has a very good magic conductivity, even magicians don't like to use it, so it can be seen that it is indeed garbage. There is no such metal mineral on the Empire's list of strategic supplies.
"That's right, that's it. ”
"Let Clark in. Wu Tian thought in his heart while letting the alchemist in, he had not yet understood the meaning of the Minister of Military Aircraft, he believed that Polge would not report useless things, unless it was simply to make himself happy and relaxed.
"Clark, tell me everything I need to know about memory metal. Looking at Clark who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Wu Tian asked the guard to give him a chair, this alchemist was too old, at least eighty miles away. Alchemists are similar to magicians, and the older they are, the more powerful they are.
The role of an alchemist is naturally not as great as that of a magician, but for these people with expertise, Emperor Wu Tian will still give corresponding respect.
"Back to Your Majesty, memory metal is an uncommon special metal, like iron ore, it exists in ore, and the amount of memory metal that can be extracted is different according to the content of the ore. Memory metal is very good for magic conductivity, so some small pieces of magic equipment will use memory metal because it is cheaper and easier to find than Adamantite and Silver. ”
"The most special thing about memory metal is that it has a strong memory, it will be fixed when it is first refined, and after that, no matter how you change its shape, it will slowly return to its original state. Refining memory metal is also different from other minerals, memory metal is not afraid of high temperatures, and can only be refined by magicians using magic power. Therefore, the memory metal obtained by our alchemists was refined and sold to us when the magician was relatively tight, and of course it was refined and formed according to our requirements. ”
"Is that all?" Emperor Wu Tian asked, from the characteristics that Clark had mentioned, he was already sure that this was indeed a junk metal, and no matter how good the conductivity of magic was, how could a magician have time to refine this thing every day?
"Memory metal ore is generally not too big, so it can only refine a small part of the metal, only small objects can be made, it is impossible for a magician to use it to make a staff, that needs a rich ore, and a large piece can be, a large piece of memory metal ore is still very valuable, because there is no large enough ore, so memory metal is also called junk metal. ”
"Tell me what would happen if you made armor out of memory metal. Emperor Wu Tian said in a deep voice.
Clark glanced at Emperor Wu Tian in surprise, and then looked back at Polk, not understanding why they would all ask such strange questions, it was simply impossible.
"Armor made of memory metal, because of its toughness and strength, is very resistant to sharp weapons, whether it is a bayonet, broadsword, a horse chopper or even a battle axe, it has a very good defensive effect. However, due to the metal's equally good extensibility, it is not as effective as armor made of iron mother when hit with heavy blunt objects, but it is stronger than any other type of armor. Although there are so many benefits, but Your Majesty, it is impossible to make armor out of memory metal. ”
