Chapter 180: The Membrane Project

When he came back from the tavern, Kevin was not in a very good mood and went to bed early. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Early the next morning, Kevin took Sain to find the general again.

"General, I haven't observed the situation of the Membrane Law Guild for a while, and I happen to be free today, so I'll go again, and I hope the general will approve it. Kevin spoke calmly, in fact, he had finished reading the book again, and after the vault robbery exercise, his knowledge was practical, and he learned more solidly, and he felt that he could already accept the next round of tests, and read more advanced magic books.

The general was still reading the documents at this time, listening to Kevin's words, and couldn't help but look up at him. The general asked Sain to follow, which obviously meant surveillance, but still without knowing it, Kevin learned a lot of knowledge about the magic array. Now that the general knows, of course, he understands what Kevin is doing this time.

"Are you really here to find out?" the general asked, closing the paperwork.

Kevin was silent for a moment, but still told the truth: "The materials given to me by General Bright have been learned, and I am going to change the batch." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sain on the side was suddenly surprised, he and Kevin went to the Membrane Law Guild several times, but they never heard any information from General Bright.

The general just snorted coldly, with an expression that I knew: "Report to me in the future, tell me the truth, do you understand?"

"Yes. Kevin replied with a bowed head.

"Alright, I'll go with you this time," the general said, already standing up, "Speaking of which, Bright has become the president of the Membrane Law Guild, and I haven't congratulated him yet, so I should go and see it once." Escort, prepare a carriage for me, and leave at once. ”

"Yes!" the guard at the door immediately trotted away, ready for the carriage.

Kevin and Sain followed behind the general like this, Kevin looked calm, since the general went by himself, it was a high-level issue between him and General Bright, and it had little to do with him anyway. And Sain was even more dazed, and he turned his head several times to ask Kevin what was going on, but because the general was in front, he felt inconvenient to ask more.

A moment later, the three of them had already gotten into the carriage and headed all the way to the teleportation array. In the car, the three of them were silent for a long time, and Sain finally couldn't help asking: "What information did General Bbright give, why don't I know?"

When the general heard this, he already snorted coldly: "So what's the use of you?"

Sain bowed his head and was silent, Kevin wanted to say something, but he felt that it was useless to say anything, so he simply remained silent.

For a period of time, the general, father and son, rarely got along with each other in close proximity for a while. Like all fathers in the world, the general asked how Sain was doing, what level of strength training he had, and when he would be able to break through? When he learned that Sain's strength was making slow progress, the general immediately reprimanded him with a straight face. At the end, he even asked some love questions.

Sain also kept nodding his head, and he didn't dare to refute anything when he was reprimanded, just nodded. He didn't answer much about love. Listening to the general's meaning, it seems that he hopes that Sain and the staff officer's daughter will make progress, but Sain is only vague.

Kevin just listened and wouldn't interject. Sain seemed very uncomfortable, but he could only endure it.

It lasted until noon, when the carriage finally arrived. The three of them got out of the car, and General Oude came in person, and the doorman naturally did not dare to stop him, so he hurriedly reported inside. General Brett also happened to be inside, and he immediately took advantage of the situation to meet him.

The two generals sat and chatted across from each other, while Sain and Kevin stood behind General Oude as if they were his bodyguards.

"I was caught off guard by the sudden visit of General Oude. The opening polite sentence was still needed, and General Bright poured him a cup of tea.

General Oude took it with a smile: "After Brett became the president of the Membrane Law Guild, I haven't come to congratulate him. I was busy some time ago, so I'll stop by to see it once when I have time today. What's the matter? You still need to pour tea yourself?"

Bright smiled: "The membrane law guild is short of manpower, everyone has a very heavy task, such a thing as pouring tea, just do it yourself." ”

After two polite sentences, General Oude also began to get to the point: "I can understand the shortage of manpower in the Membrane Law Guild, but it's not appropriate to poach people in other places at will, right?"

Bright smiled: "You are mistaken about this, I definitely didn't dig anyone." I spread the knowledge of membrane law in the army, and the key is that this knowledge is ultimately used to build their own legions. There's absolutely no way I'm going to give them any orders, and they're never going to do it, and you can ask Kevin about that. Am I right?"

General Oude nodded: "Then why didn't you tell me?"

"Huh?" said Bright, a little surprised, "I didn't tell General Ode about it. But there is one detail, when I first disseminated my knowledge of membrane method, I had a meeting. Your son, Sain, may have fallen asleep from exertion. At that time, I thought that he was not interested in membrane method, so I didn't wake him up. ”

General Oude glanced back at Sain, who looked at Kevin with some surprise and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say I would sleep for a second?"

Kevin: "......"

General Bright had already skipped this detail and continued: "There may have been some misunderstandings, but nothing major has happened. I've heard that Kevin is doing a military exercise in Saka City, and he has shown his skills. The magic array can be so lively, and it is definitely a first-class talent. ”

Kevin just politely said, "Thank you." ”

General Oude glanced back at him: "By the way, what were you going to do here? What information did you say you were going to change?"

Kevin stepped forward: "Yes, the president gave me three copies of "Plane Geometry", "Magic Array Diagram Re-Recognition", and "Theory of Continental Element Flow" last time, and I have basically finished learning it, and I can take the test. ”

Bright was a little surprised: "It's fast." These are also a semester's worth of classes at the School of Magic, and you'll be able to finish them in about a month?"

"I have a certain foundation in mathematics, which is relatively easy. Kevin didn't dare to be too complacent.

"Okay," Breitra pulled out of the drawer and pulled out three rolls, "just do it here, and let your general see how good you are." ”

Kevin got the scroll and had to look at the general's face again until the general nodded, and Kevin sat aside. The three people in the room all looked at Kevin, with different expressions, and Kevin didn't look up, sitting at the desk to do the question, the tip of the pen rustling. It seems that he is confident.

Something suddenly flashed through Sain's mind, and he blurted out in an instant: "Did you do a problem in the toilet last time?"

Kevin's pen stopped, nodded slightly, and then continued to work on the question.

Sain was dissatisfied: "You actually fooled me into saying that you are constipated?"

Inside: "......"

After a moment of silence, General Oude saw that Kevin couldn't finish it for a while, so he continued to speak: "What are the plans of the Membrane Law Guild in the next step? There are many voices of opposition at home and abroad, and the resistance should be quite large, right? I also took a look at the expansion of the main city, and the scale is indeed very large and advanced. But whether it is really beneficial or not, I'm afraid it won't be a few years or even a dozen years to see the results, right?"

"You're right," General Bright agreed, and then asked rhetorically, "what about your point of view, General Ode?"

"I don't like to gamble," General Oude smiled, "if you want to tell me something probabilistic, there is a chance of success and a chance of failure, then I think it is better to follow the old way." ”

Bright sighed: "Actually, what you said makes a lot of sense. The development of the Membrane Law Guild is actually very difficult now, and although the construction of the main city is very large, it is mainly supported by the Great Magus. And the technology that the Great Magus can use, most civilians can't use. It also has little to do with the membrane method, which is only the relationship between personnel transfer and co-ordination. ”

"The key to the membrane method is new technology, whether it is magic technology or science and technology, in short, new technology. However, how can it be so easy to catch up with foreign advanced technology in a short period of time? Can we catch up if we want to? We are working hard, others are also trying, and even others will obstruct us. Technical blockade, arms embargo, etc., these are actually known to us as generals," Bright couldn't help but sigh when he talked about the current situation, "And this time there has been a lot of attention to the Membrane Law Guild at home and abroad, if it is not done well, not to mention that it is difficult for me to be the president of the Membrane Law Guild, even the king will definitely lose his prestige." ”

General Oude agreed: "You're right, if the Membrane Law Guild wants to develop, it must make some achievements. And it's best to get results in a short period of time. Everyone basically knows this, but I don't know what measures the current president has?"

Bright tapped his finger on the table: "I have a bold plan, but I don't know if General Oude is willing?"

"To the west of the Elven Forest, that is, the wild land dominated by kobolds. Since last year, the two kobold kingdoms have been constantly fighting, and we won't care about him for reasons and so on. However, the two ko-headed countries are using extremely advanced weapons and equipment, which they cannot afford to develop on their own, and they are all imported. Either the Alliance Nations, the Elves, or the Lane Empire. ”

"To tell the truth, the war between them has caused a windfall for the arms dealers of many countries. The two kobold countries are located in the magic crystal veins, and their own financial resources are very abundant. I think this is also an opportunity for us to at least send our observer missions to observe both their combat techniques and the weapons and equipment they use. ”

General Oude thought for a moment: "You mean to copy the technology back?"

"It's a normal thing, and there's no shame in copying it, but of course it's behind closed doors. Isn't that how our giant staff came to be?" Bright smiled, "We may be able to develop a new technology in three or five years, only to find out that others have already started using it ten years ago, and others have already started working on the technology ten years later, then we will never be able to catch up with others." ”

General Oude was silent, and Bright had already continued, "I have sent out the first observation group, and they are from my original Knights of Fire. It is expected that in the coming month, I will prepare a second observer mission. By that time I'll probably be sifting through the whole army. ”

General Oude subconsciously looked at Kevin, and saw that Kevin was still working on the question, as if he hadn't heard anyone else talking at all.

Bright went on to say: "For the sake of international relations, we can't send people who are too strong. People who are too strong will be guarded against by others, such as a saint-level master, which is equal to an army. At that time, others still thought that Lou Baole had sent troops, and it would be difficult for us to deal with diplomacy. Therefore, we can only find some relatively weak people, and at the same time have a considerable foundation for the membrane method. Otherwise, even if you copy it, you won't be able to copy it. ”

General Oude retorted: "A master can also pretend to be weak, hide his strength, etc., it's not too difficult." There is no specific strength detection device on the kobold's side of the border. ”

"You're right," Bright replied, "I'll try to find some masters to escort you secretly, but those who are active on the surface need at least a few weak people to reassure each other." And if you're too master, I'm the president of the Membrane Law Guild. ”

At this time, Kevin just stopped writing: "Report, it's done." ”

In the surprised eyes of the three, Kevin handed in the paper. Bright took the test paper, nodded incessantly, and smiled: "General Oude can also take a look." Then he handed it to him, and General Oude just glanced at it and set it aside.

Bright took out a few more books from the drawer: "This is "Solid Geometry", "Theory of Magical Media" and "Magic Array Diagram Again", you can take it and continue reading." ”

"Thank you, President. "Kevin bye.

"You're excellent," Bright patted Kevin on the shoulder, "the previous group of observers I sent out hadn't been that thorough, because time was tight, and I was worried that if the war ended at any time, I would miss the opportunity." It doesn't play a role at the moment, but I believe that the second group of people will definitely make a difference. ”

Kevin turned his head to look at the general, and of course he already felt as if he had been ordained.

General Oude seemed to be still thinking, sitting still and expressionless.

"Well, I'll show you something," Bright got up and led the three of them down the stairs to a clearing. In the middle of the clearing was a large one, covered with a cloth. Bright raised his hand to pull down the cloth, only to see a huge tin box.

It is about the size of two carriages, except that there are no horses in front of it and no wheels underneath. The tin box is about one person high, but it is not square, but is made up of two trapezoids, the lower one is an inverted trapezoid, and the upper one is a regular trapezoid. The bottom surface is slightly smaller, with a section protruding in the middle and a slightly smaller section at the top.

"General Oude should know what this is, right?" asked Bright.

"Of course," replied the general, "during the holy war, the mage made a tin box to protect himself. Then summon your pet or elemental golem to carry you away, and you can use spells to hurt enemies by hiding in it and stretching out your staff. Later, it was found that the Water Elemental Golem worked best, as the Water Elemental walked on water and could largely ignore most uneven terrain. ”

"Yes," Brytt nodded, but this was basically explained to Sain and Kevin, who knew it themselves, "the Iron Sheet has been improved by the war and has become quite thick. The water elemental was originally exposed to the outside and was too easy to kill, so he simply summoned the water elemental into the tin cabinet. In any case, at first it looked like several water elementals carrying a cabinet, so this magical weapon was called the Water Tank. ”

General Oude nodded: "So the Knights of the Flame have been changed to the Water Tank Legion?"

"It's still in the testing phase," Bright admitted, "it's too slow to carry the cabinet with the water elemental, and the magic crystal costs a lot. From the perspective of our Holy Rank masters, this thing is really a burden to us, and the protective ability is meaningless in the eyes of the Holy Rank. If you open the water tank and fight against another Saint-rank master, you may not be able to defeat it. But for ordinary soldiers, or low-level mages, it is definitely a good weapon. ”

General Oude went up with great interest, knocked on it, touched it, and then lifted the corner of the car with one hand to look at the bottom.

General Bbright spoke: "The strength of the Saint-level master is indeed extraordinary, and the general has always sought to cultivate more Sword Saints, which is actually understandable. How to decide, it is still up to the general. ”

General Oude was silent for a moment, and finally relented: "Kevin's role in the regiment is not very big. You want to borrow him, I have no objection. ”

"That's great. Bright smiled happily, "With General Oude's words, my plan will be more than half successful." ”

"But if he has the know-how he brought back, he must share it all, and he must not hide it. General Oude also added a condition, "By the way, if you want to go, then bring Sain with you." ”

Sain's face turned white, but he didn't know what to say.

General Brett didn't care: "Yes, many young people learn, and the opportunity is always a little bigger." ”

"You've been planning this for a long time, haven't you?" asked General Oude.

Bright took out a document from the spatial ring: "This was planned when I was still the head of the Flame Knights, but at that time I could only mobilize the people in the group. And after I became the president of the membrane law, I began to let those in the army who were willing to learn first. The name of the plan is the membrane plan, and the name is a bit blunt. ”

"Kevin, because of the lack of thought!" Bright said suddenly, "this plan will be put on my side for now, and I will make some improvements." A month later, you are the executor of the membrane plan. Do you understand?"

Kevin only felt that the burden on his shoulders was suddenly much heavier, but at this time he couldn't escape: "Yes." ”

"Young people should do great things," Bright encouraged Kevin, "don't worry, I'll pick the best teammates for you." ”
