Chapter 12: Great Inventions?
Wensel's last words made Rocky's heart beat faster!
Could it be that there is really a magic technology of the Continental Era in this research institute!?
This possibility made Rocky hold his breath, and he didn't dare to think about anything else in his head, and listened to Wensel's last words very carefully.
"When the cowards chose to run away, I, like many others, chose to stay and continue to complete my research. ”
The image left by Wensel continues to speak, dictating an untold history:
"The arrival of the devil was so sudden that people were not prepared for it, and this led to the creation of research institutes and the birth of many great inventions. ”
"Sky City is such an invention, but even the greatest invention will become a pile of scrap metal in the hands of waste, and those cowards who just want to escape have wasted such a great invention in vain. ”
"In contrast, the Flying Warframe project that the Vins Dynasty is working on is more practical, they want to create an armor that can allow the user to fly in the sky and greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of the user, and once successfully developed, it will greatly improve the combat effectiveness of the user. ”
"But it's a pity that the idea of this flying armor is good, but it appeared too late, if it had appeared ten years earlier, maybe we wouldn't be so vulnerable to demons, hopefully, I hope they can make this plan successful in the future......"
Wensell's words made Rocky completely shocked! The so-called flying battle armor plan is clearly the air magic battle armor!
As far as Lodge knows, the earliest concept of the Air Demon Warframe was indeed proposed at the end of the Resistance War, but at that time, due to the loss of a large area of land, it was too late to realize this idea, and the first set of real Sky Demon Warframes was developed after people completely moved to the sky.
Boy......
What kind of character is this Wensel?
Even knew about the Sky Demon Warframe, and listening to his tone, even if the Sky Demon Warframe, which was hailed as a great invention second only to Sky City, was just a good idea in his eyes?
Isn't this a bit too arrogant?
Or is it ......
This Wensel is carrying out a great invention that is no less than the Sky Demon Warframe!?
At this time, the image left by Wensell continued to speak:
"The idea of the flying armor is very good, and the invention of Sky City is also great, but the research that the old man is doing is no less than theirs!"
Wensell's image then said with great pride:
"The old man and they all think differently, they just want to develop new technology, and they want to use new technology to fight the demons, but these people have forgotten one thing, that is, there is no time and no resources!"
"The demons have taken over a large area of land, we don't have much time left, and we have fewer and fewer resources at our disposal, so how easy is it to invent new equipment to resist demons under such conditions?"
"Even if it succeeds, what good can a new weapon or armor do in the face of a completely occupied land?"
"So these people are thinking wrong!"
"What we should really do is to strengthen the existing equipment! That's what I'm researching for!"
Here's the point!
When Wensel's image finished saying this, he paused for a moment, and only after a moment did he re-speak:
"Magical runes, that's my invention. ”
"The great invention that I have worked so hard to accomplish is a few points inferior to Sky City!"
As he spoke, Winsel's influence waved his hand, and a symbol appeared in front of him that Rocky couldn't read.
"This is the Magic Rune, a magical symbol containing energy, which functions in the same way as the Philosopher's Stone, providing magical energy, and will replace the Philosopher's Stone once and for all. ”
"Original...... It's just this ...... ...... thing?"
When Wensel's image speaks proudly of his invention, Lodge is a little disappointed......
Because Wensel has already said that the magic runes he invented are just a substitute for the Philosopher's Stone.
In this world that relies on magic technology, magic energy has become an irreplaceable resource, from the sky city to the empty magic armor, all rely on magic energy to operate normally, and the container for storing magic energy is the Philosopher's Stone.
Remember the driving crystal in Thunderhawk City? That huge crystal is technically an oversized philosopher's stone, and the Sky Demon Warframe that Rocky is wearing now is also inlaid with Philosopher's Stone to provide the magic energy needed by the Warframe.
What Wensel invented was a substitute for the Philosopher's Stone.
But...... So what?
Today's level of technology has solved the problem of charging the Philosopher's Stone, making it possible to use it repeatedly and become a renewable resource, so it has become less precious than before, in this case...... What can magical runes be used for?
Replace the Philosopher's Stone, but the Philosopher's Stone doesn't need to be replaced at all!
Winsell did leave behind his own invention, which might have been useful a hundred years ago, but today, a hundred years later, it has no effect......
This result couldn't help but disappoint Rocky.
"Forget it, it's also an invention anyway, maybe you can still use it, so it's not a loss. ”
With a long sigh, Rocky had to adjust his mood by self-comfort.
In fact, he had been looking forward to a truly significant discovery this time, hoping to reverse the decline of Thunder Eagle City, but he also knew that he couldn't be too greedy, and besides, he didn't have that good luck.
At this moment, Wensel's voice continued to come: "The drawing method of the magic rune, as well as my research materials, are all here, and here are some experiments that I used in my research, which can help you better understand the magic rune." ”
When Wensel said this, the influence he had left behind began to blur a little, and it seemed that it was about to disappear.
"Make good use of this great invention...... Cast the demons out of the land......"
With these last words, Wensel's image disappeared completely.
But at the same moment as the image disappeared, the wall behind it slowly opened, revealing a secret room!
Seeing the secret room slowly open in front of him, Rocky immediately walked over, even if the invention of magic runes is not very practical today, but it is an invention after all, if it is used well, it may also be able to generate a lot of benefits, so Rocky may be disappointed, but he still immediately walked into the secret room.
The secret room behind the wall was not very large, with only a table and a few large chests inside.
Rocky, who walked in, came to the table and looked down, and saw a yellowed notebook on it, with a few words clearly written on it: Magical Rune Research Notes.
"It seems that everything about the magic runes has been written in this book. ”
Rocky carefully put the notes away, then looked at the boxes in the chamber.
These chests are covered with dust, and they look like treasure chests that have been sealed in dust for years.
As Wensell said, these boxes are full of test specimens.
"I don't know if there are any treasures ......"
Seeing these boxes, Rocky raised his own momentum again, because Wensel's invention may be very ordinary, but such masters are often worth a lot of money, and if Wensell can have one or two treasures in these test pieces, Rocky will be worth the trip.
So he couldn't wait to take the nearest box with him.
The lid of the box was opened, and Rocky saw that there were two long swords inside, and he took out one of them casually and looked at it, and his eyes suddenly lit up!
"Good stuff!"
Holding the sword in his hand, Rocky immediately knew that it was a good weapon!
It stands to reason that this long sword should have been sealed in the dust for nearly a hundred years, but now it is still shining, and there is a cold air on the peak, which looks murderous.
What's more, this longsword also has two philosopher's stones inlaid on the hilt!
It's a magical piece of equipment!
After inlaying the equipment with magic stones through special technology, you can make magic equipment, although its power cannot be compared with the air magic armor, but it is far beyond ordinary weapons, plus the cost is far lower than the cost of the air magic armor, the popularity of magic equipment is very high.
The long sword in front of him is a magic sword, and it is also inlaid with two magic stones, and the magic energy contained in the two magic stones will undoubtedly greatly increase the power of the long sword, and at the same time, greatly increase the value of this long sword.
"Earned!"
Holding the long sword in his hand and waving it twice, Rocky was overjoyed, because as far as he knew, such a magic weapon was worth a lot of money, and if he sold it, he could earn at least a few hundred gold coins, which was almost enough to catch up with the financial income of Thunderhawk City for a month.
"It's best that everything else here is worth that much. ”
Placing the magic sword beside him, Rocky reached out and took out the second sword in the box.
This second longsword is almost indistinguishable from the magic sword just now, the only difference is that this longsword is not inlaid with magic stones, but has a strange pattern printed on the sword.
Holding the sword in his hand, Rocky took a closer look at the patterns on it, and then found that the patterns on the sword were all made of strange runes!
"These should be magic runes, and they can't be hung without inlaid magic stones. ”
The magic rune itself is a substitute for the magic stone, so although this long sword is not inlaid with a magic stone, it is still a magic weapon because it is painted with magic runes, and it is also a valuable good thing.
Merely......
Looking at the rune sword in his hand, and then looking at the magic sword on the table, Rocky suddenly had a curious idea, that is, one of the two long swords is inlaid with magic stones, and the other is painted with magic patterns, so which of the two is more powerful?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but be curious, and then he was a little eager to try!
"Look at who is sharper!"
Driven by curiosity, Rocky held the rune sword in his left hand and the magic sword in his right hand, and activated the magic power with both hands at the same time, activating the magic energy contained in the two long swords at the same time.
In an instant, the two long swords burst into light, followed by his simultaneous swing of both hands, causing the two long swords to collide together.
But after that, Rocky didn't hear the expected collision sound, he only felt a brush, and his hands were staggered, and when he looked at the long sword in his hand, he found that the magic sword in his right hand had been cut in half!
The magic sword in his hand...... Broken in two!
"W-How is this possible!"
Looking at the magic sword that was broken in two, Rocky was dumbfounded......
