Chapter 170: Self-Exploding Bats
readx;
How important black powder is, maybe even the goblin elders themselves don't know very well, but as a modern person, Yang Ling has a deep understanding. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info The reason for the rapid rise of modern Europe, with only a few hundred, or even dozens of soldiers, can occupy a country or region, is not based on the heroism of soldiers, but advanced muskets and artillery. With black powder, it may be possible to one day develop thermal weapons, create an army and navy unique on the continent, and even form a powerful air force. At that time, in front of their own army, whether it is the Bantu Empire or the Rus Empire, no matter how numerous they are, they will be vulnerable! With black powder, they may be able to enter the age of steam and build steamships to explore the vast sea. From then on, this strange world may be able to step into the era of navigation, and the development of the territory is changing with each passing day. With black powder, it may be possible to develop powerful firearms that can travel unhindered on the mainland. Quickly find the relics left behind by the ancient wizards, find the secrets of their disappearance, and find your way back to Earth. Hope is beautiful, but the reality is cruel! Overjoyed, Yang Ling personally studied with goblins, alchemists, mountain dwarves, and a group of human craftsmen, but the result was frustrating. Without sophisticated machine tools, sophisticated instruments, and specific methods, it is simply impossible to transition from cold weapons to the era of hot weapons at once. "Lord Lord, do you want to try again?" After repeated failures, the goblin elder looked nervously at Yang Ling on the side as he spoke, his face was black and blue, and his clothes were even more miserable by the black gunpowder, which was more pitiful than the beggars on the side of the road. In order to make the musket that Yang Ling said, he almost even got into it. At the beginning, the dwarf Rumi refined a cylinder the thickness of his thumb, but the powder in it was too small to detonate for half a day. I tried it for a long time, and I didn't even let out a fart like a dumb person. Later, the dwarf Rumi led his people to refine an arm-sized cylinder overnight, but it was filled with so much powder that even the cylinder itself exploded into pieces. Yang Ling gave orders from a distance, and there was nothing to do, but the goblin elder almost had his head cut off by the blasted piece of iron. Despite the cold weather, he was still scared into a cold sweat, knowing this, he was not in a hurry to offer treasure to Yang Ling in the first place. "Hmph, try again, press all this pile of powder into it!" After a moment of silence, Yang Ling gritted his teeth, ready to try one last time. Since the conditions were limited and he could not make sophisticated firearms, he had to focus on making earth bombs in batches. Although the goblins had made a few earth bombs before, they were all handmade, just like depicting a magic array, and they couldn't make one in ten days and half a month, so they couldn't meet the demand at all. Unfortunately, after a few days of repeated tries, I still couldn't get what I wanted. Try it again? Look at the black iron ball, and then look at the large pile of black powder, the goblin elder's scalp was numb, and after swallowing his saliva, he said: "Lord Lord, so many powders are stuffed together, it is very easy to accidentally injure your own people. Can you divide the gunpowder into a few hundred points and refine hundreds of earth bombs?" After suffering a lot, the goblin elder was full of fear of Yang Ling's so-called earth bomb, and after his head was almost cut off, he really didn't have the courage to try again! Miniature bombs? The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional! As soon as the goblin elder's words fell, Yang Ling had an idea and thought of an idea. The key reason why it has not been possible to develop muskets or earth bombs is that there are no sophisticated machine tools to process iron shells in batches. The refining level of Dwarf Rumi and the others is good, and it may take a month or two to create one or two suitable iron shells, but the efficiency is too low to mass-produce at all. In the end, the cost is definitely not cost-effective. However, the miniature bomb is different, because it does not require excessive power, and may only need black powder and black earth to make it. In case of any accidents, it is not easy to hurt your own people. Without further ado, after making up his mind, Yang Ling immediately commanded everyone to take action. Mix black powder and black soil in a certain proportion to make more than a dozen miniature bombs the size of a dragon's eye. After taking a few deep breaths, he took it upon himself and threw a tiny bomb like a ball of mud with all his might. As a result, there was a 'bang', and although the porcelain bowl not far away collapsed a corner, the miniature bomb did not explode as expected. After failing to try several times in a row, Yang Ling, the Goblin Elder and the others carefully analyzed the reason, increased the ratio of black pulp melon powder and sulfur powder, and made more than a dozen mudball-like miniature bombs again. As a result, although it exploded, the power was far from enough, and even the porcelain bowl could not be shattered, and only cracks could be shaken out. "Lord Lord, do you want to add some demonic beast essence blood to it and try it?" After trying again and again, changing the ratio of the mixture countless times, seeing that the power of the miniature bomb was still insufficient, the goblin elder racked his brains and thought of one last way. The essence blood of a demonic beast contains a trace of magical power, and the higher the level of the demonic beast, the greater the energy contained in its essence blood. Since the Monster Essence Blood can be used to depict the magic array, perhaps, it can also have an unexpected effect when used on miniature bombs. After pondering for a while, looking at the mudball-like miniature bomb in his hand, Yang Ling decided to become a dead horse doctor and add some demonic beast essence blood to it as the goblin elder said. After returning to the castle, the bat army brought back a lot of Warcraft essence blood from the Truss Forest every day, so he didn't mind wasting a few cans to give it a try. After coming into contact with the black mudball-like miniature bomb, the essence blood collected from the wind wolf quickly seeped into it, and quickly disappeared like a drop of water meets a sponge. There is no trace of it except for a faint smell of blood in the air. Could it be that the Demon Beast Essence Blood was added too little? Without doing anything, Yang Ling simply threw the entire miniature bomb into the jar in confusion. Soon, strings of small bubbles erupted from the miniature bombs, absorbing the blood of the demonic beasts inside the jar like a sponge. In the blink of an eye, most of the jars of demonic beast essence blood disappeared completely. Unlike just now, after absorbing a large amount of demonic beast essence blood, the color of the miniature bomb turned red little by little. The surface of the red light flows, emitting a faint red light. From a distance in the dark night, it looks like a small dancing flame and a firefly. "My lord, let me try it!" Looking at the miniature bomb flowing with red light, the goblin elder took the initiative to ask for his life. He didn't dare to try again with a cylinder filled with a large jar of powder, but the power of the thumb-like miniature bomb was limited, and even if something happened, I believed there would be no problem. At least not like a cylinder the thickness of an arm, and just a few pieces can shave off the head. After carefully handing over the miniature bomb with flowing red light to the goblin elder, Yang Ling quickly retreated quietly after a few words. Unlike the Goblin Elder, after the miniature bomb absorbed a large amount of demonic beast essence blood, he keenly sensed a danger. Since the goblin elder took the initiative to ask for his life and act as a white rabbit for the experiment, he was naturally happy to sit back and watch. To make sure he hit his target, the goblin elder took a few steps closer, then threw the miniature bomb in his hand with all his might. With a 'boom', the porcelain bowl exploded into pieces. Among them, a sharp shard even grazed the throat of the goblin elder and flew by, leaving a shallow mark of blood. If it was a little deeper, I am afraid that even if Da Luo Jinxian arrived, he would not be able to save his life. A small ball of mud has such great power?Looking at the stunned goblin elders, and then looking at the debris and small pits on the ground, people were amazed, even Yang Ling was no exception. Although he had long sensed a danger, he never thought that the miniature bomb would have such great power, it seemed that the demonic beast essence blood was really a good treasure! Buried in the ground as a landmine, or thrown out like a grenade? After the accident, Yang Ling quickly calmed down and pondered how to maximize the power of the miniature bomb. Miniature bombs explode after a violent impact, whether they are buried in the ground as mines or equipped as grenades, all of which involve the difficulty of transportation and storage. Can you tie it to the flying monster and carry out a large-scale suicide attack on the enemy? After pondering for a while, he thought of his huge army of demonic beasts, and his heart moved, and a bold idea came to mind. For heavily armored or highly skilled enemies, it may not be a problem to fend off one bomb, and two will not be too difficult. But when encountering thousands of bombs attacking at the same time, not to mention the Great Sword Master or the Great Magister, I am afraid that even the powerful Sword Master and the Magister will be difficult to resist! The Truss Forest stretches for thousands of miles, and there are countless low-level Warcraft, including a large number of flying Warcraft. Tie bombs to flying monsters and command them to dive down from high altitudes to launch a suicide raid, believing it will definitely be a nightmare for your enemies. After repeated comparisons, Yang Ling chose vampire bats and prepared to form an army of self-exploding bats. In peacetime, they can be stationed in strategic locations such as the Alashan Pass or the Teutonic Valley, and on the battlefield, they can be used to focus on attacking key figures such as enemy commanders and magicians. Compared to horned bees and gargoyles, vampire bats are large in number and easy to replenish. Not only can it be domesticated in the Truss Forest, but it can also be bred in captivity on the shore of the Blackwater Lake, which is conducive to forming a self-destructing army with a suicidal surname and launching indiscriminate bombardment against the enemy. In addition, vampire bats are not the fastest, but their flight paths are definitely the most secretive. When diving at high speed, you can also make a series of evasive actions, which can greatly improve the success rate of the attack.
