Chapter 226: New Achievements
This series of meetings was held more than a dozen times in a row and lasted for no less than two months;
During this period, there were numerous consultations within small groups with different opinions, large and small.
It seems that the discussion will continue endlessly in the midst of disagreement.....
As a result, the impatient four advanced witch doctors intervened, stopping the unrestricted rip-off, and forcing them to compromise their positions.
Due to the existence of the 'pilot', you can control the direction of policy implementation at any time and intuitively feel its unstable details;
Therefore, the direction of compromise as a whole is in favor of the faction of 'banning the production team and confiscating the property after death'.
Therefore, the relevant 'trial measures' were finally formed, and it was decided to implement the 'fixed partnership system', 'regional autonomous community', and 'contractual partnership system' within the pilot project.... and the various policies associated with it, such as military service, taxation, property inheritance, etc.
Among them, because if the issue of 'property inheritance' is not used, or if there is no accident, it may be difficult to verify the actual degree of solidity of the trolls in the prime of life;
Therefore, in this regard, it is mainly necessary to observe the changes in the mentality of the test subjects in the face of this policy now and in the future;
and how this resulting change will affect the behaviour and habits of individual trolls in society;
For example, consumption concept, production enthusiasm, life attitude and so on..... And from this to further judge the feasibility of this policy in the future.
In addition, the laws and regulations related to various systems, such as the 'Contract Law', the 'Fixed Partnership Law', the 'Local Government Organization Law', etc., also need to be gradually improved in the process of pilot operation.
In the end, it is necessary to decide whether to implement it nationwide according to the actual situation.
After determining the general direction and discussing the details with the actual executors, the various levels of the ruling government;
The more than 1,000 graduates began to move into several 'community' areas of varying size and size that had been designated for them.
The allocated area is a little further away from the main body of the old and new cities, and although it is indeed a planned 'urban area', the planning is carried out on a scale of hundreds of thousands...... So now, the place is actually more like an independent community located outside the city.
The reason why it is so far away is, in a sense, to weaken the influence of mainstream values in society, such as the 'production team';
In addition, it is also to facilitate the later stage, continue to fill in new graduates, and expand the scale of the pilot.
Of course, in the process of implementing this plan, the current policy of 'making up the gap' was suspended;
After that, all the production teams with labor shortages had to be dealt with by the ruling government to find other solutions according to the actual situation at the time.
It may be a little troublesome, but for the time being, it is also a matter of no choice.....
~~~~~
While the pilot project is in full swing of preparations, the previously determined 'key area construction' affairs have entered the implementation stage.
In various regions of the republic, there were small and medium-sized strongholds that were demolished one after another;
Fortunately in the East, because of the large rotation between the stations at one time, the builders of the year did not know where they were at this time.
In the west, however, it is very likely that the original builders themselves are demolishing these strongholds.....
The trolls watched the station they had built with their own hands being demolished, the surrounding acres of land being abandoned, all the animals being loaded, and valuable factory machinery being disassembled and packed, and their feelings were quite complicated;
On the one hand, reluctance is inevitable, after all, I have been living for a while;
On the other hand, I really want to leave quickly.... Because it's inconvenient and life is boring.
In short, in such a complicated mood, the trolls who left the station arrived at the nearest large stronghold one after another with large and small supplies;
Then you can take a boat or a rail, and you will find out where you will live in the future.
There will be more than sixteen,000 of these trolls, and all of them are in the prime of life;
In addition to 1,500 of them, a new 'Inner North City' will be built in the northward direction within the gap in the mountains;
The remaining 15,000 or so trolls in their prime will be sent to the headquarters to start construction and become new residents there.
To this end, the ruling government has begun to coordinate the appropriateness of materials and other aspects, whether it is the construction materials to the north or the distribution of the location of the residential areas of the new residents of the headquarters, they need to plan in advance.
Under such circumstances, the ruling government naturally fell into extreme busyness because of these two successive major tasks.
However, the specific implementation level affairs have been handed over to the witch doctors of the ruling government, and at this time, they have returned to the top of the mother tree and continued to do the 'research house'.
And after staying at home like this for a while, from the team in charge of studying the 'volcanic salamander', there was finally good news.
~~~~~~~
In the previous battle with the volcanic salamander, the opponent's ability to attract the most attention from the trolls, in addition to self-healing, was nothing more than that kind of powerful long-range attack method;
The scene of the explosion of the volcanic rock wall, even after such a long time, is still fresh in the memory of all the participants at the time.
As for the kind of black prism that directly achieved the attack effect, the team managed to leave some samples at that time, and brought them back with the team, and handed them over to different research institutes after returning to the headquarters;
It is hoped that through the comparison of properties, etc., it is possible to determine what type of substance it should belong to.
Not long before that, the conclusion of the Metal Research Institute had arrived, and it was concluded that it seemed to be a type of metal, or a special alloy.
Such a conclusion immediately alarmed many researchers, including the four advanced ones such as Nesta.
Even some of the witch doctors who had previously focused on their own research and didn't care much about the volcano project, at least not the part of the black prism crystal, also raised their heads for this and wanted to find out.
Monsters and metals, living things and non-living things, even if there is a spell-like intervention within this connection, it still surprises the witch doctors.
They seem to realize that this should be an extremely important moment, and that another spell that may once again change the fate of the Republic will soon be discovered.
Some of the witch doctors are looking forward to the research project to hit their heads;
The other part of the witch doctors is just looking forward to the results, and as for whether they have researched it themselves, they don't care much... For example, Nesta and other four.
After that, for reasons of efficiency and other reasons, the research group was still assigned, and a witch doctor who was not in a hurry for his own research was singled out and grouped according to their respective strengths.
Once the assignment was completed, the research began in earnest.
In the process, there are failures, either the accumulation of success or complete garbage, the former of which certainly makes the witch doctor hang his head, but the latter is even more frustrating for the participants.
But fortunately, the large and small seven samples are in front of us, and even if they are not enough, they can be arrested again, so over time, this study is still on the road to success.
~~~~~~~
At this time, in a laboratory located in the hollow of the trunk of the mother tree, several witch doctors are unleashing new spells.
In front of them, there was a solidified magma rock, a pool of semi-molten lava, a box of dirt taken randomly from the periphery of the headquarters, and the air in front of them.
Intricate incantations, fingers that accompanied the movement, rhythmically slid in the air, played an unnamed music, and the expected results began to unfold;
The first three targets began to condense several pieces of black matter of different sizes at different rates above each other.
The first to end is the magma in a semi-molten state;
On the magma of about a cubic meter, a black prism barely the size of a little fingertip was condensed, and then no matter how the witch doctors cast their spells, there was no response.
What follows is a solid magmatic rock solidified by a cubic meter of magma;
Here, although a black prism of the same size was condensed, it was much slower in terms of spawn rate, and no prism was produced in the future.
Slower than the first two is the box of soil taken from the periphery of the headquarters;
There are also black prismatic crystals here, but they are so small that they are barely visible to the naked eye, and their generation rate is extremely slow.
Finally, there is the control group of anti-air casting;
No matter how long the caster was concave here, there was no black prism in the transparent sealed vessel with only air inside;
I don't know if there is really none, or if the product is so small that it is impossible to observe.....
However, these four sets of controlled spellcasting experiments also seem to indicate something.....
At the very least, this black prismatic crystal, or its constituent substance, should be widespread in nature;
However, its unit content in different substances or spaces should be biased.
Judging from the current situation, the magma produced in the southern volcanic group seems to be the most abundant natural material in this resource.
Such controlled experiments have been carried out many times before and after, and the witch doctors have managed to obtain various substances from various regions;
For example, sea water, river water, soil in the east, and stone in the west are analyzed in terms of ease of access;
The conclusion obtained after the observation is that the southern volcano is the most abundant in magma.
The analysis of the physical properties of the obtained products also has more specific data under the accumulation of an increasing number of samples.
The Institute of Metals Research believes that this should be an alloy with high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, and at the same time has the advantages of heat resistance and corrosion resistance.
In the field of application, the Institute of Metal Research believes that it can be used as a substitute material for various high-strength cutting tools during machining, but its properties are not stronger than the existing high-end steel and wood;
Therefore, unless its yield is against the sky, even exceeding the tree-growing and continuous supply of special steel and wood, there is no need to replace it.
On the other hand, since its unit weight is much larger than the existing steel and wood in the headquarters, it can be considered for development as a potential energy weapon.
For example, the way the volcanic salamander is used is a good reference;
If it can balance its weight with the ratio of the force required to launch it, it should allow the Republic to have a greater lethal or destructive effect when targeting large targets.
However, although it is applied in the field of machining, it is considered to have no value in the short term because of its overlapping functions with existing plant-based materials.
But the most important point of this matter is not actually the discovery of this substance, but the process of its creation itself.
Because this is the first time that witch doctors have discovered a magical beast that can extract metal from nature, this primitive spell template can be said to have opened a previously closed door.
The rune spells derived from it, and each set of runes included in it, can be said to be invaluable.
This is also the reason why the witch doctors judged that 'they can change the fate of the republic again'.
Therefore, the analysis of the 'spell template' from the 'spell-like template' alone is not the end point of this study;
Continuing to explore the various details of the overall rune group is one of the more important research projects.
So, just after the initial results, more witch doctors were assigned to the study.
They pick at the details, constantly changing the structure of the various combinations in the existing rune groups, and at the same time comparing the existing rune groups in the rest of the spells, trying to parse the effect of each 'component' in the overall spell.
Gradually, 'metal element identification', 'metal element extraction', 'metal element condensation'.... and even the final 'alloying' and 'stereotyping', etc., the children separated from the overall structure of the spell are analyzed one after another;
Among them, the runic forms in the 'Identification' section helped the witch doctors locate the three different metal elements that make up the alloy;
In the 'extraction' part, the corresponding metal element will be stripped from its natural chemical state;
The 'condensation' part will make the metal elements form relatively stable elements after the above process has occurred;
The 'formed' part mixes the metal elements into an alloy product;
The 'final' part determines the external characteristics such as the size, shape and so on of the final product.
In addition, in the 'Identification' section, the runic forms of the various metal elements were found to have great similarities;
Relying on this similarity, the witch doctors were able to get feedback from several new types of metal elements that did not exist in the previous alloy by constantly adjusting the way the rune group operated.
However, due to the 'one-to-one' nature of 'extraction', and the fact that its branching rune structure is too varied and complex, the witch doctors have not been able to make it a special spell for these newly discovered metals;
As a result, it is not yet possible to precipitate these new metals directly from their natural compounds like the 'Black Prismatic Three Brothers'.
However, the results in this area are not all useless .... The witch doctors found a new way to find a big use for it.
For example, a spell derived from this, along with the rest of the spells, that was specifically designed to explore metal ores, was developed by a group in the course of research.
For another example, combining 'prospecting' and 'identification', the witch doctors used the stupid method of 'constantly adjusting the details of the runes' to the existing metal samples in the headquarters, and successively obtained their corresponding structural expressions in the rune group.
With this kind of 'expression', it becomes relatively more convenient to use the new 'prospecting' techniques to find their natural veins, and it is no longer necessary to rely entirely on the experience 'taught' of the hornhoofs.
And in the 'extraction' part mentioned earlier, there are actually some discoveries that the trolls think about.....
The skeleton of this rune group, after adding the corresponding generation and feedback structures, can be directly used to obtain several types of 'precious metal elementals';
In particular, the metal, which is so golden that it is named 'gold', can be obtained directly from veins within a certain distance under the effect of this technique.
The rest of the metal ores in the form of 'compounds' have strict application restrictions;
For example, the 'Extraction' rune group for the 'Black Prism Three Brothers' is actually different variants in one large category, and they cannot be used in conjunction with each other.
In addition, witch doctors have found that the runes of this type are often accompanied by other ancillary phenomena other than 'elemental acquisition' in the process of effect;
For example, the elemental state of 'Black Ridge Brother No. 1 Metal' is a lustrous steel-gray metal;
When refining with its corresponding 'extraction' rune group, an acidic solution appears before the reaction itself;
And in the process of reacting, there will be a slight strange paralyzing feeling.
For another example, the elemental state of 'Black Ridge Brothers No. 2 Metal' is silvery-white, which is characterized by light weight, high strength and metallic luster;
When it is extracted, it forms a powder first, and then forms at high temperature after sintering, and the process also produces a paralyzing feeling.
Moreover, when the 'Black Ridge Brothers' are extracted from their respective compounds, they often produce gaseous or solid impurities....
These strange phenomena are not obvious in magma salamanders, because the entire type of spell occurs in their cavities, and their impurities are also expelled along the parotid gland and melted magma.
But when it is transformed into runic magic by the witch doctors, the process of reaction can be seen by the naked eye;
As a result, these phenomena have been observed in experiments one after another.
In addition, the 'extraction' of the three existing metal elements alone facilitates that the runes have many differences in structure and reaction to reality;
It can be seen that this 'extraction' is indeed not a fixed form, but a large category that can be filled in with various variations within the framework of the overall spell.
Therefore, it will be a long way to deduce the elementalization method of other metals through the existing extraction method of the three metal elements.
However, the witch doctors were not discouraged, because they saw in them the way to turn 'natural chaos' into 'natural order'.....
The phenomena that accompany them are themselves natural phenomena that were not known before, but now they are culturally controlled, and they are studied, and the process of 'being studied' is not a kind of progress from chaos to order.
In the same way, this is also the only way for rune magic to 'go from not seeking a solution to clarifying the process'.
In the future, as more and more 'phenomena' are observed, controlled, and understood, more and more things that can be explained by runes will become;
The process is also vice versa...
With the mutual growth of science and magic, there will be fewer and fewer parts of the world that belong to the 'unknown and chaos', and more and more parts that belong to the 'known and order'.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Of course, it's all about enjoying the future;
And now, the witch doctors are just as concerned about the results in front of them....
For example, the witch doctors of the Warcraft department think that their contributions in the field of materials finally have hope to catch up with the plant department;
But the plant department disagrees with this, thinking that the new category should be called the 'metal department', what does it have to do with your Warcraft department?
~~~~
Nesta is also following this series of research and is deeply happy with the breakthroughs made in the field of metal research;
But at the same time, that's not what he's most concerned about here.....
First, from the feedback of the witch doctors, Nesta saw the adjective 'paralysis';
Secondly, the extraction method obtains the metal element;
Thirdly, although he was a science scumbag in his previous life, at least he had heard of the terms 'electrolysis' and 'redox reaction', and had a little shallow understanding;
In the end, after such a combination, a guess appeared in his mind...... Could it be the so-called 'extraction' part of the rune, could it be the magic version of electrolysis?
And the series of phenomena that occurred during this period may be the prerequisites and intermediate processes for the occurrence of electrolysis, but these things have been replaced by magic in some form?
Although I don't know much about the specific process of 'electrolysis', I hope that 'electricity' is indeed needed in this context, right.....
His life in his previous life also made him understand how important 'electricity' is to a modern civilization;
And here, once electricity and magic can be combined with each other, maybe there is hope to achieve civilization achievements that surpass those of previous lives?
Of course, if he had studied not liberal arts but science and engineering in his previous life, he might have found many things that were more interesting or even incredible than 'electricity'.
But it's a pity that he is just a liberal arts student, and the most important thing at this time is really nothing but electricity.
With this mentality, he divided several witch doctors to look for traces of electricity from the 'extraction' part;
In addition, he also mentioned his own speculation about redox and other phenomena, which was taken seriously by some witch doctors.
~~~~
Time goes by day by day, month by month, or even year by year, and there is no breakthrough in the research on the weakness of volcanic salamanders and the capture scheme for higher species.
However, with the deepening of research, various branch projects have been appearing in a steady stream, and under the unreasonable side of the technique, they have been rapidly developed.
First of all, through the debugging of 'identification', more and more metal elements are being determined 'rune morphology', and many different types of ore veins are discovered as a result;
Based on the existence of these veins, the witch doctors gained a deeper understanding of the various properties of metals in nature, and made assumptions about the 'liveliness' and so on.
Previously, due to his own unfamiliarity, Nesta only mentioned the 'redox reaction' in passing;
However, under the in-depth exploration of some witch doctors, with the support of magic, combined with the existence of metal elements in various mineral veins, certain results have been achieved in the 'redox' of metals, and gradually there is a prototype of specialization and discipline.
In addition, the corresponding theoretical speculations on phenomena such as respiration and photosynthesis of plants have also been proposed.
In addition, several special liquids have been found in the study of the intermediate products and tail impurities of the previous 'extraction' rune group, which have been shown to play a role in the 'metal redox'.
Under these intersections, the concept of 'chemistry' has gradually become clear....
Finally, the exploration of 'electricity' has also achieved considerable results;
Based on the various characteristics proposed by Nesta, the witch doctors did analyze the part related to it in the rune group, and found the interaction between physical strength and electricity when casting spells.
This is definitely a huge find....
Stamina and electricity can interact through magic, and the results they can bring are not just 'lightning mages';
Once you have the Rune Group, as long as you continue to develop it, it will only be a matter of time before it is totemic again.
Unlike the previous ones, even if they are totemized, they cannot be applied by warriors, and they need to use extracorporeal substances to take effect.
Some of the 'electricity' discovered this time seems to be closer to the category of bioelectricity, which is a reaction that originates from the body.
Therefore, even if the power of the totem is greatly reduced due to the failure of all parts other than the 'bioelectricity', the 'bioelectricity' part cannot be used as a power that the warriors can use;
Even if it can't be used to inflict damage, can it be used as an intermediary to give warriors the ability to manipulate certain spell products?
In this regard, although the witch doctors have not mastered the technique of 'dead body enchantment', many botanical magic applications have similar functions.
For example, the 'treehouse', which was developed in consultation with the public, became a kind of dwelling for non-witch doctors and trolls because they could not use its various functions, and finally became a residence for witch doctors.
And if a living magic product like this with energy itself can solve the problem of 'electric activation', it may be able to be used by warriors.
And once successful, perhaps it can be developed accordingly, and more soldiers can use the finished spells, so as to enhance combat effectiveness and enhance the convenience of society?
Not only that, since there is a thunderbolt spell, then work this basis, maybe electromagnetic waves, power.... Can there be a breakthrough in all of these and so on?
What kind of world would that be......
Looking at the electric current that disappeared after a crackling sound at his fingertips, Nesta fell into the imagination of a future society.
