Chapter 350: The Big Bang, Gunpowder
"So, how did the monsters get stronger?"
Faced with Xia Qi's question, Arthur Wang replied truthfully: "As far as I know, there are two routes for Warcraft to become stronger. One is that over time, the strength naturally increases. The second is to devour the beast core of the same attribute to achieve the purpose of rapid enhancement. ”
Arthur Wang paused and continued: "However, there are pros and cons to both routes. Although the first route takes a long time, it is a matter of course to become stronger. Although the second route can make the Warcraft stronger in a short period of time, the Warcraft may change during this period, and there is a certain danger. ”
After hearing Arthur Wang's words, Xia Qi's heart suddenly understood.
Then, he thought that he happened to have a third-order gold-based beast core in his hand.
I don't know what will happen after feeding this beast core to Xiaobai.
But Xia Qi just thought about it, Xiaobai had just evolved into a demonic beast now, and he was not very proficient in using his body, and he couldn't even say whether his skills could be released.
Feeding it a third-order demon core at this time is not as simple as pulling out the seedlings to help it grow, this is directly ruining its potential.
Immediately, Xia Qi thought of a possibility, can he find an effective way to make ordinary animals evolve into demonic beasts?
In this way, Great Xia will soon have an army of Warcraft?
In other words, if high-yielding domestic animals such as pigs and poultry evolve into Warcraft, then the probability of their offspring being Warcraft must be very high.
Even if it's not, there's a great possibility of evolving into a monster.
In this way, he will not have a production line that can stably produce magic cores.
When Xia Qi said his statement, Arthur Wang couldn't help but look at him in surprise.
To be honest, Arthur Wang now admires Xia Qi's imagination.
Then, he poured a basin of cold water on Xia Qi.
"The probability of ordinary animals evolving into Warcraft is very, very low. At least in the tens of thousands of years of records of the elves, there are less than ten such examples. ”
In the long life of the elves, it is natural that there will be clansmen to study these things.
Where did Warcraft come from? How can I evolve into a Warcraft?
This is undoubtedly a very large and meaningful topic for the elves who are keen to study this kind of knowledge.
Xia Qi asked again: "So, if you swallow the beast core of ordinary animals, will they evolve into demonic beasts?" ”
At first glance, his question sounded like a fart off his pants.
Feed the cores of other monsters to other animals, and then let this animal evolve into monsters.
Countless hours and energy were wasted, but what I got in the end was still a monster, so why bother?
But in fact, if this assumption succeeds, it will have extraordinary significance for Great Xia.
Generally speaking, Warcraft are unruly and would rather die than submit to humans.
But the animals that have been tamed by humans are different, the genes of surrender have been deeply rooted in their bones, even if they evolve into Warcraft, they are much easier to control than Warcraft in the wild.
Hearing this, Arthur Wang said: "I think this possibility is very low. The magic core contains a large amount of elemental power, and after ordinary animals swallow it, the greatest possibility is that the body cannot bear such a burden and completely collapse, and then die. ”
"Of course, nothing is absolute. The elves in the Elven Kingdom who liked to study this kind of thing later left together, and I don't know where they went. I think that they should have in their hands the materials on the evolution of various beasts into demonic beasts. ”
After listening to what Arthur Wang said, Xia Qi had actually basically given up the idea of creating a demonic beast.
The things in this are far from being as simple as you think.
A few days later, Xia Qi, who was expecting lightning to wake up, was suddenly alarmed by a loud noise. Suddenly aware of something, he hurriedly rushed out of the city.
From a long distance, Xia Qi could already see a large amount of black smoke rising from the sky in front of him.
At this time, the Great Xia City was already in chaos, not only people, but also a large number of animals were frightened, wailing and running in all directions.
In a courtyard outside the city, a large number of soldiers are carrying buckets to put out the fire.
Fortunately, it is very close to Daxia Lake, so it is also very convenient to fight fires.
Soon, the fire was extinguished.
There were also a large number of people patrolling the outside of the small courtyard, blocking off an entire area in the vicinity, prohibiting ordinary people from approaching.
Of course, these didn't work for Xia Qi.
Throughout Great Xia, there was no place he couldn't go.
Passing through the isolation zone, Xia Qi quickly walked into the small courtyard with a group of guards.
This is actually a branch of the Ordnance Research Department, which was established outside the city because of the danger of the things being studied.
The high walls around the Ordnance Research Department were fine, but the small office building inside was half collapsed, and the source of the black smoke was undoubtedly here.
This scene made Xia Qi's whole heart instantly hang in his throat.
If he's not mistaken, that location is Xia Fox's office!
Xia Qi grabbed a researcher and asked, "What about your minister?" ”
The researcher was caught, and at first he had to resist, but when he saw that it was Xia Qi, he immediately coaxed.
"See Your Majesty!"
Xia Qi was in an extremely irritable mood at this time, but he didn't have time to rub it here, so he asked him directly, "What about your minister!" ”
"Minister, isn't the minister in ......"
Speaking of this, the researcher was stunned for a moment, obviously the person was still here just now!
"Ah......h
The sudden change made the researcher speechless.
Or Qin Chuan, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a position, and said, "Your Majesty, do you see if that is Minister Xia?" ”
Hearing this, Xia Qi hurriedly looked in that direction, and saw that Xia Fox was lying on the ground not far away, still holding a piece of charcoal in his hand, and he didn't know what to write on the ground.
While writing, there are words in his mouth, which looks like the temperament of those crazy scientists on the Blue Star film and television drama.
Seeing this, Xia Qi sighed a little helplessly, and then instructed the people around him, "Go and call the imperial doctor." Also, who, you go and copy everything here. ”
"Me?"
Xia Qidian was none other than the researcher he had just questioned.
Looking at Xia Fox's posture, he was not affected by the previous explosion at all, and Xia Qi's heart that had been hanging was finally put back into his stomach.
As for what Xia Fox studied, he didn't think it was gunpowder.
He had already prepared the materials for making gunpowder, and he had prepared several warehouses.
However, because of the rules of the civilized battlefield, some things do not reach the specified rank, and they are used and studied by methods.
Let's take a simple example.
It's like saying that Yang Guang supported Xia Qi with a batch of modern firearms, but his rank did not reach the rank stipulated in the civilized battlefield.
Therefore, for him, these firearms are completely burning sticks, even if the bullets are loaded, he can't fire them.
It was the same before, because Xia Qi's rank did not meet the requirements, so he couldn't study the gunpowder.
No, didn't he reach the silver rank?
So I tried to study gunpowder again, and it turned out that the silver rank was already qualified to develop gunpowder.
However, it is obviously impossible to find out the specific formula of something as dangerous as gunpowder.
Statements such as one nitrate, two sulfur and three charcoal are still too general.
And the gunpowder developed in this way is only the most low-level kind, and it is still not powerful enough to be used in military affairs.
However, from the movement of the gunpowder explosion just now, the power of this gunpowder is still not small.
It is also because Xia Fox is clever, he hid away first during the ignition experiment, otherwise looking at the power of this explosion, even if Xia Qi has the water of life in his hand, this wave will not be able to be saved.
A dangerous experiment like this should have been done outside in an open experimental field.
But during the Games, there are people everywhere outside, and if you want to find a place where no one is around, you can only go to the deep mountains and old forests.
But Xia Fox had just adjusted the formula and was in a hurry to experiment, even if someone persuaded her, she didn't listen, and directly experimented in the courtyard.
Then, the small courtyard was directly blown up and half pulled.
Fortunately, no one was injured, and it was also a place dedicated to the development of gunpowder, so the damage was not very large.
But no matter what, this kind of thing is also very dangerous, and if you are not careful, you may cause death, Xia Qi feels that he needs to give Xia Fox a long memory.
So, he simply gave Xia Fox a month-long vacation, during which he was not allowed to bang on anything related to ordnance.
For the average person, a whole month of paid long vacation is simply a gift, okay?
But obviously, Xia Fox is not an ordinary person.
For a person like her, who is obsessed with the study of ordnance and weapons all day long, it is simply the most cruel, and there is nothing more painful in the world.
At the same time, several guards were specially sent to follow her as soon as she left the palace, and while carrying out all-round protection, they were also monitoring her.
can only say that Xia Qi really knows how to punish her.
Of course, after a month-long vacation for Xia Fox, the follow-up research on gunpowder certainly cannot stop there.
Xia Qi handed over the copied recipe to the deputy minister of the Ordnance Research Department.
In the case that the minister is very unconcerned, the deputy minister of the Ordnance Research Department wants a stable personality.
It was clear that the formula for this gunpowder could not be put into production immediately.
Although the power of the explosion has been seen once, in order to deploy in large quantities, more detailed data and a consistent success rate are needed.
It's fitting that this kind of thing should be entrusted to the deputy minister of the research department.
In the meantime, lightning finally broke out of the cocoon.
At this time, the lightning hair was shiny like silk, and its big eyes, the black pupils had turned a faint purple at this time.
It hadn't lost any size, but its muscles had become more shapely, and the horse looked more handsome.
Name: Lightning
Gender: Male
Variety: Ben Lei Ma King (Warcraft)
Attribute: Thunder
Order: First order
skill
Lightning Strike: Wrapped in lightning, it rushes forward at breakneck speed.
Thunderbolt: Summons lightning to attack enemies.
After waking up, the lightning was far less noisy than Chang Wei, and he was almost used to his current body after just a few circles around the main hall.
After evolution, lightning was more than a little bit faster than it used to be.
Xia Qi once rode the lightning and experienced the feeling of galloping.
And around him, there were three Chang Wei, and above his head, Xiaobai hovered endlessly.
This reminded Xia Qi of a sentence he learned when he was in Lanxing.
The left leads the yellow, and the right is the sky.
