Evening.

Gudern, who returned to Qingyuan Town, used up today's three opportunities to revise the entry.

Today's revisions target furnaces for cement plants and brick kiln plants.

As the construction and expansion of the town continued, a new cement plant was added, and the daily output increased from the original two tons to one ton.

The brick kiln factory has added two, each of which has a furnace kiln, and with the help of the entry, the daily output of bricks is more than two.

If you convert it to a cubic meter, it is enough cubic meters, and this is still a daily output.

Of course, half of the bricks were sent to the construction of the city walls as soon as they appeared, and the remaining half was mostly used in the construction of sewers, and the rest was used in the construction of houses.

In addition to these, a second smelter is also under construction, and a number of factories are also under construction in preparation for the rest of the plant.

After making the changes, Goodern returned to the castle and went into his study, where he began to think about what had happened to him.

Originally, he had always had a question in his mind, that is, why the Charleson family was staring at him.

Something like colluding with orcs to commit treason, and if you want to be directly planted in your own territory, it won't be long before you want to be directly planted in your territory?

But he wanted to make trouble in his own territory, and at first Gooden thought it was to avoid the liquidation brought about by the East Window incident.

But now it seems that it is not only that, the elemental leyline, the shaman inscription, the orc undead, the concatenation of the three pieces of information, plus the previous intelligence, Goodern can find out the origin of the matter with his ass.

Although the elemental leylines are not particularly rare 'geological wonders' on the continent, it is only possible to find one from hundreds of kilometers away.

With the mysterious power of the shaman's inscription and the endless elemental power of the elemental leylines, the dead corpse can be washed away from the breath of the undead, and transformed into a 'dead man' that can be controlled, and it can also absorb the power of the elemental leyline to grow.

This kind of secondary 'high-quality soldiers' will be moved by anyone in power.

Just in the face of the imminent outbreak of the national war, the number of people killed on both sides at that time is also an astronomical number, and the orc clan will inevitably fight more and more when they master this ability, and the stronger they will become.

Qingyuan Snow Ridge, which is on the edge of the border, happens to have such a 'conversion' location, which does not attract the covetousness of the orcs, then there are ghosts.

Sitting in the back chair, Goodern looked thoughtful while unconsciously rubbing his index finger.

Combining all this information, the result is that when the national war breaks out, or even before, this orc force hiding on the border of Qingyuan Snow Ridge will inevitably attack him.

And there are only two possibilities for the outcome at that time, one city will break the Qingyuan Town and destroy it, and the other will defend the Qingyuan Town, but the other party will besiege the city and occupy the elemental leylines to hatch troops.

After all, according to Herissa's speculation, there must be transcendents in this orc team lurking in Qingyuan Snow Ridge.

After seeing the supernatural powers, Gooden still has a question mark over whether he can hold Qingyuan Town.

Herissa's strength may be above that of the orcs, but with the fire butterflies flying in the sky in the afternoon, it is enough to make Goodborn understand the horror of extraordinary power.

Faced with the crisis with the orcs, Goodern was also planning to think of a corresponding solution in his mind.

Gunpowder technology cannot be developed for the time being due to the lack of saltpeter, although there is now an idea of magic technology, but this is only a concept, and whether it can be implemented is still a question mark.

In addition to the existing intelligence and the line of trading with the military, it is not impossible to contact the military top brass and ask them to send troops to guard and protect.

But whether the military can trust him and how many people it can send is a question mark.

Rather than leaving the orc problem to the Empire to deal with, Goodern still believed in himself more.

He didn't know the style and efficiency of the Empire, and he had to be prepared for both.

The matter of the orc undead must be reported, and as for whether the empire can take it seriously, then another story will be said.

From now on, the development focus of Qingyuan Town can no longer be based on infrastructure, and a part of it must be transferred to start preparing for the military industry.

With this in mind, Gooden had a direction in mind, and immediately began to prepare for this aspect.

Since firearms cannot be developed due to the lack of materials, the focus will be on magic weapons, and at the same time, the mass production of protective equipment for soldiers and ordinary weapons will be carried out together.

There are already people in the research institute who are responsible for the mass production of ordinary equipment and weapons, but because the research work is not the focus, only a small number of personnel are working on it.

In order to carry out this work now, it is inevitable that personnel and materials will be invested.

As soon as an order was drawn up, Goodern sent it to the research institute to begin its execution.

At night, the research institute was brightly lit, and after receiving Gooden's order, Buck served as the direct person in charge, and immediately began to mobilize personnel and resources to take over the task of mass production of the military industry.

Within a short time, a team of 30 people involved in the research was set up and immediately took over the work related to the research.

You must know that the total number of people in the research institute at this time is only more than one person, which is equivalent to one of the personnel selected to participate in this part of the work.

Nowadays, everyone in the research institute is eager to break themselves in half to use it, and the research team of this scale is already considered to be the top scale.

On the other hand, after Goodn's order was delivered, he went to the laboratory and began to work on the development of a magic rifle in the true sense of the word.

The previous one was purely driven by his use of magic, but now it is that it can be equipped for ordinary soldiers who can't use magic.

This means that you need to burn a variety of magic circles on the magic rifle to activate them.

This part is no longer a problem for Goodn, who has mastered the rules of magic and magic circle conversion, but it will be a bit cumbersome when burning multiple magic circles.

However, there is no good solution to this for the time being, in order to improve the strength of the army, Gooden plans to take some time every day to build an extra part of the weapons for storage and training.

For the development of the second-generation magic rifle, Goodwin planned to learn from the appearance of the first generation in his hands, so the overall prototype was completed soon after it was built.

Compared to the first generation, there is not much difference in the second generation of magic rifles, but there are still some changes in length and details.

The first generation is to facilitate his carrying and concealment, so the length of the whole gun is less than half a meter, while the second generation rifle is to be installed for soldiers, so the short length is not convenient for them to practice and melee combat.

As a result, the overall length of the gun was extended to nine meters, and the overall shape was similar to that of bolt-action rifles in World War II.

At the same time, in the details of the weapon, he added small details such as the front sight, trigger, and strap buckle.

Once the model is built, the next step is to burn the magic circle.

Goodern's idea is the same as that of the first generation, using the implosion pressure of the fireball technique to generate thrust, but in the second generation rifle, this step has to be performed by the relevant magic circle, not by his magic.

And just as Goodborn was about to burn the relevant magic array, a key question suddenly came to his mind.

There is nothing wrong with the burning of the relevant magic array, but how to make ordinary people use it in the future?

Thinking of this, Gooden couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and he had just noticed this problem.

After thinking about it for a long time, I didn't have a clue, so I had no choice but to get up, ready to talk to Helissa and ask.

Anyway, he can be regarded as his own mentor, so this little problem shouldn't be a problem, right?

"Goo-dong...... Gollum ...... Ha...... That's it......

After pouring a large sip of pure water, Herissa Geyou lay on the chair and said a little lazily.

"The solution to this problem is also simple, there are three ways."

As she spoke, she casually used her mental power to draw a map of the magical structure in midair.

The overall structure and the elements of the filling are also the fireball technique that Goodern is most familiar with.

"First

The solution is to destroy the burning medium, which is also a common type of magic scroll."

"For example, now, in addition to not changing the basic structure of the Fireball Technique, an additional additional function magic circle has been added to the storage and absorption items."

"This functional magic circle is used to detect the carrier, and once the burning carrier is found to be damaged, it will absorb and release the elemental magic in the shortest possible time, just like now."

"Boom—"

As she spoke, Herissa used her spiritual power as a carrier to burn a complete triple demon array out of thin air, and then destroyed and released it.

Goodroot saw the whole process very clearly and was able to understand very clearly how it worked.

"The second is to burn a broken magic array, for example, the standard fireball technique is ten nodes, the magic gathering array is sixty-eight, and the storage is one hundred and eight."

"According to the standard burning, there will be four overlapping points of elemental magic structure in the three magic arrays, and only one or four of them need to be burned additionally."

"Like this...... Look, the entire burning of the magic circle has been completed, but because of the lack of the magic overlap of these four cores, they can't function."

"And the overlap of these four core magic powers, you only need to push the external force back to where it should be, and the overall operation can be successfully completed."

"Boom—"

As Helissa pushed the four core structure points back into place, a fireball appeared in mid-air, and then crashed into the barrier that had already been placed and dissipated into the air.

"This method is more commonly used on large magical buildings, as well as some larger items." 藲礿尛裞網

"Because this method has a disadvantage, that is, if you fail to clear the elemental mana after restoration, and the structure is dislocated and interrupted, there is a high chance that the explosion caused by the collapse of the mana will occur."

Listening to Helissa's explanation and demonstration, Goodern couldn't help but think, it seems that this method may be able to be used in the development of magic rifles?

Seeing Goodborn torn apart, Herissa also picked up the bottle of pure water and poured it abruptly.

"Ahem, what about the third one?"

Gudern, who had come to his senses, looked at Herissa and asked with a hint of curiosity.

"The third type is actually an upgraded version of the second type, since the overlap of elemental mana points can be extracted, then change the way of thinking and change the magic circle to non-overlapping ......

"Doesn't overlap?"

The magic array node displayed by Herissa made Goodern suddenly feel as if he had discovered a new continent.

"Yes, just like that, the mutual stimulation between the magic circles actually only needs to be close to a certain distance to channel elemental magic."

"At this time, we only need to add certain improvements and restrictions, so that the absorption and storage can be modified to adapt them to the needs of different situations......

"For example, for example, I only need to provide the magic power that can be used for fireball magic once for the magic circle that stores the elements, and add a weakened change when absorbing it."

"Boom ......"

An orange fireball flew out from between the demons and exploded.

The three ways made countless thoughts rush through Goodern's mind.

"Okay, is there anything else?"

Withdrawing from his thoughts, he looked at Herissa who was lying on the soft chair, and he didn't know that she was already the first bottle of pure water, and her white neck had become slightly pink under the catalysis of alcohol at the moment.

At the same time, there is a hint of red on the cheeks, and the eyes are slightly misty, which makes people wonder what is wrong.

However, Gooden, who was still on a mission, nodded with a little difficulty and said.

"I still have a question...... Are there any cheap and large options for the selection of materials for the burning medium?"

"Huh? Oh yes...... I just forgot that you woke up, and you don't know about it yet......

Herissa propped herself up and casually took out three coins from the space magic weapon, which were bronze, silver, and gold.

"You know why the mainland uses these three

Is metal used as money?"

Faced with Helissa's question, Goodern was stunned for a moment, thought about the properties of the three metals, and replied with a little caution.

"Because of their breadth and ease of forging?"

"No, wouldn't it be easier to use iron coins for convenience?"

"Actually, the most critical issue is their elemental circulation and resistance, and these three metals have superior performance in burning magic under non-magical metals."

"Although magic burning can be done on any object, whether it can resist the erosion and destruction caused by the elements is another matter."

"Ordinary metal, after burning the magic array, if it is not activated, it is fine, but once it is activated, it will be eroded and brittled by the elements at an astonishing speed until it shatters."

"And these three metals can greatly delay the negative effects caused by elemental erosion, although they are not as good as magic metals, but they are also a good choice for novices to practice."

After listening to Herissa's words, Goodern looked at the three coins floating in the air with some surprise.

He thought it was just a parallel world, but he didn't expect it to be of such use.

"The performance of the three coins is also increased according to their value, copper metal is the worst, but the quantity is large, the performance of silver metal is modest, and the output is also quite large, and the general experimental choice is also to choose silver."

"Gold's help in magic is also relatively good, but it needs pure gold, and it is too soft, and if there is a bump, it is easy to destroy the magic structure, so it is mostly used on scrolls."

"And the same is true for the platinum coins and magic gold coins above, the platinum coins have the best performance and have a very high hardness, which is one of the favorite materials for mages to use as a shaping material."

"Needless to say, magic gold coins are already magic metals, and the performance is definitely the best."

Herissa also explained to Goodern in great detail the choice between metals, and she was very patient with this halfway monk's student.

If it were the students in the academy who dared to ask her this question, they would be greeted not by a detailed answer but by the fireball technique.
