CHAPTER XVII
As the saying goes, "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years". Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Frost may not be a gentleman, but he is really a "ten years is not too late" type.
In order to avenge the revenge of the original arrow, he silently endured for a long time, while secretly planning, he had a good relationship with several legendary powerhouses under the Void Mask Church, and even deigned to run to help the knights train and serve as a living teaching material.
Eventually, he finally got his chance.
At the end of last year, Gerrard finally mastered his own power, and he was able to freely control this power, not only can he change the size of his body at will, but also can freely control his power, and he has also gained many extraordinary abilities.
Aside from his human appearance, he is already a powerful legendary creature at heart, even stronger than many dragons.
Sensing the opportunity, Frost immediately launched his plan, urging Gerard to find himself a powerful mount.
According to Gerald's original intention, he wanted to find a celestial war horse or something—this big guy was an honest man after all, and he wasn't greedy. But Frost can't let him just find a celestial war horse just like that, and persuade again and again, what "the real strong man is to ride a dragon to swagger through the city", what "a hero must have a mount worthy of himself, and the celestial war horse is not worthy of your identity as the actual head of the regiment under the command of His Majesty the Void Mask", what "a good mount must first be able to give full play to the master's strength, with your strength, the dragon is suitable" and so on, I don't know how much.
Although Gerald's strength has been greatly improved, his brain has not become smarter, on the contrary, because his strength has been greatly improved, his way of thinking is more direct, or more straightforward. If you put it in some Xianxia novels. Or the legendary "spotless and straight to the heart" of the pure heart.
He originally wanted a powerful mount, but after being instigated by Frost a few times, he let go of his scruples and led his subordinates to the Burial Stone Peak in the depths of the Graystone Mountain Range, setting up a huge barrier with people as nodes and surrounding the entire Burial Stone Peak. Then go and negotiate with Talaystone.
The negotiations between the two sides were not pleasant at all, as evidenced by the former burial stone peak, which directly turned into a "burial stone hill" afterwards. In the end, Tara Eaststone, who was beaten all over his body, bowed his head aggrievedly and became Gerald's mount in line with the principle of "heroes don't suffer immediate losses".
This result made Frost very dissatisfied, he originally intended Tara Eaststone to be the overlord of the Burial Stone Peak generation, and he should have the temperament to be willing to bend rather than bend, and he would definitely fight to the end and would rather die than give in, but he didn't expect this evil dragon to be a person who can bend and stretch, and he really bowed his head and admitted to being a horse to ride. The revenge that had been planned for many years could not be completed, so he really couldn't understand his thoughts, and he didn't know how much sulking he secretly had, and how many times the people who came to the warehouse to receive the supplies were terrified.
Today, Leon rode the green dragon Garstobi to visit, and finally let his long-suppressed anger completely explode, so he ran out and scolded Tara Eaststone fiercely, damaging the old dragon's glass heart almost to pieces, especially in front of his own clan. This made him vent his grievances that he had accumulated for many years, and suddenly felt that the sky was high and wide. The clouds were white, the flowers were red, and even the guys who came to receive the supplies looked gentle and elegant, and they were all simple and kind.
So that night, there was another rumor in the playground.
"Did you find out? Our storekeeper seems to be in a good mood today. ”
"Nonsense, I'm not blind! He actually smiled at me today!"
"yes! I usually ask him to get things. The look in his eyes can almost scare people to death. I'm smiling today...... It's weird!"
Usually, when he receives something, he has to look left and right, and even a stitch and a thread have to be picky again and again, especially more tightly than the housekeeper's mother-in-law! But today, he actually only glanced at the receipt list. I just sent the goods neatly, without a word of difficulty, it's incredible!"
“...... You say, is he in love?"
"It's possible! Looking at his smirk, it really looks like he's in love......"
"Oh my God, that cold-faced ghost is also in love? What girl is so powerful that she can take this guy?"
"It's really great mercy and compassion to save the suffering!"
"Let's toast to that great young lady!"
"Okay, cheers!"
So the words spread.,As the so-called "the truth will only go.,Rumors will fly",Within a few days,Rumors about "Lord Kuguanshuang is in love" spread all over the playground.,There are also several versions.,Among them, there is even his sister Miss Hail.,Their sister Miss Snow Flower plays the role of the villain to beat the anti-ethical version of the mandarin duck.,And the other party is a bearded strong man.,Lord Frost is still a hardcore female to the same version......
As for how these rumors later reached Frost's ears, and how Frost was thundering, tracking down like a mad dog which bastard with a lot of ideas and joy was talking nonsense and making a lot of trouble, it was a long time later......
After Leon's visit, Sui Xiong dealt with the affairs of the church in general and began to plan a major event.
Industrial Revolution!
He had read a lot of online novels before he traveled, and the time-travelers in them often had to engage in the industrial revolution, what burned glass to make muskets, what queued up to shoot artillery to attack cities, and what blast furnaces made iron to synthesize fertilizers...... Just like magic, the products of modern industry have been invented one by one, rapidly promoted, and the level of productivity in the territory has risen gradually, catching up with and surpassing the world's advanced level in a few years, and even being able to beat the whole world with a small amount of land.
Sui Xiong felt that as a traverser, he still had such a great ability - in terms of ability, he was confident that those historical traversal parties together would not be enough to fight alone, and as we all know, most of the people who like to climb the science and technology tree are historical traversal novels, and the protagonists are basically normal people with mortal bodies - since those mortals can do it, there is no reason why he can't do it if he is so powerful.
So he decided to retreat for a while and get the Industrial Revolution out first!
Well...... Where to start?
After a little thought, he made a decision, starting with blast furnace ironmaking!
What is the basis of modern industry?
Steel!
To start the industrial revolution, of course, we must start with increasing steel production!
To increase steel production, of course, it is necessary to point out the legendary "blast furnace ironmaking" technology!
So he built a blast furnace in a deserted place deep in the ash forest, where he had been experimenting with papermaking, and threw a large pile of iron ore and coal, and threw it and began to burn it.
There were some hiccups in between, such as not knowing the shape of the blast furnace, and after pondering it again and again, he made a long chimney with a large ball under the chimney -- which he thought might be what the so-called "blast furnace" might look like.
For example, he didn't know what iron ore and what coal to use, and in line with the idea that "the industrial revolution is all about making the most advanced results from the most simple materials", he used scattered pyrite and peat with a low calorific value, but very common.
For example, he had no idea what the structure of the blast furnace should be, so he mixed pyrite ore and peat evenly and stuffed it in.
...... Then, to his anguish he discovered, that the thing seemed to be very difficult to burn, and that the fire was not at all vigorous, and even burned and extinguished.
What's going on?
Sui Xiong thought hard and thought about it, and finally felt that maybe it was because the world was different, and the coal in this world was not enough.
It is necessary to develop blast furnace ironmaking technology, but the coal is not powerful enough, what should I do?
But there is no internet connection......
Fortunately, he is not the type of Gerrard with a tendon in his head, as the so-called poor makes change, he thought about it and came up with a solution.
Isn't it just going to burn, isn't it just going to be hot, there's another way!
Say...... Fire elemental creatures or something......
The spell was cast to capture a powerful fire elemental from the fire elemental plane, conservatively estimated to be comparable to that of a high-level adventurer, and he stuffed this fire element into a homemade blast furnace. Trying to use the raging flames on this guy's body to melt the mixture of iron ore and peat, and burn boiling molten iron.
The idea is good, well, the idea is good.
The flame temperature on that fire elemental was not low, and it quickly dried the peat completely, and then ...... It burned violently.
Question: What is the phenomenon of violent combustion in a small space?
Answer: Explosion.
With an earth-shattering bang, the unfortunate fire elemental was instantly blown into a pile of ashes, and Sui Xiong's self-made blast furnace turned into a mess of red-hot rubble, as for iron ore and peat...... Those iron slags that splashed everywhere, and some of the iron slags that fell on Sui Xiong's body, were their final products.
It is also thanks to Sui Xiong's vast powers, comparable to the legendary incorruptible King Kong, almost zero distance from this violent explosion, and was splashed by countless molten iron and iron slag, he just bared his teeth and screamed in pain a few times, soaked in the water to rest for a while, and then ran back, rebuilt the blast furnace, put in the materials, and began to try to improve.
It didn't take long for another earth-shattering bang.
Then Sui Xiong soaked in the water again, rested and ran out again, rebuilt the blast furnace, adjusted the proportion of materials, adjusted the structure, and then experimented.
Then, not long after, there was an earth-shattering bang.
And so it blew and blew and blew and bombed, and the forest was soon a white ground - no, black ground, because the ground was full of a mixture of iron slag and ash. There are also many unlucky fire elementals who have died blindly, turning into patches of black ashes, scattered in every corner of this land.
If Marx's predecessors saw this scene, they would definitely sigh: "The blast furnace came into this world, and from head to toe, every pore was dripping with blood and filth......"
Alas, this has to be placed in a historical travel novel, how many times have the protagonists died...... (To be continued.) )
