Chapter 742: A Changing Continent, a Changing Bureau

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Edward had already set up several of these magic pedestals in the battleship, which he could use to make artillery projectiles - after all, the existing cannonball projectiles were relatively simple to make, as long as the sulfur, saltpeter, charcoal and copper powder were directly made into powder, they could be easily blended when needed, directly filled into the cannon chamber, and made and killed, an hour of creation was more than enough to last, without the need for any auxiliary systems.

But now it doesn't seem to work.

As we all know, the nature of this mixed liquid explosive is too unstable, it can be fried when shaken, heated and fried, or even too cold...... Unless it is mixed with delicate fibers such as cotton or fine wood chips, it is not even possible to use it casually, and this blend will undoubtedly take time, so it is not possible to use it on the spot.

Of course, Edward can also use the time essence to wrap it up and apply it like dealing with the fireball beads in the tank shell, but this is only theoretically feasible - Edward's floating battleship is more than two miles long, and the main gun mount alone is ready to build more than twenty, and there is room for nearly a hundred ordinary gun gates, if all are ejected, it will cost several tons of ammunition to calculate a batch of shots, and it will take hundreds of years to rely on Edward to make the time essence alone.

An hourglass time passed quietly, Edward glanced at the two bottles in front of him, and with a snorting sound, the liquid in one bottle suddenly disappeared, leaving only a fine piece of saltpeter powder, and the dilute sulfuric acid and fatty acid in the other bottle had also disappeared without a trace, leaving some shrunken residue. However, the orange-yellow glycerin remained unchanged.

So, until this problem is solved, it seems that this set of theories can only be used to produce glycerol.

Maybe it's because the acid roots of sulfuric acid produce the compound that is fat, and fatty acids are compounds of sulfuric acid, but glycerol is not.

Edward frowned - it seemed that the only way to solve the problem was to use other methods to produce sulfuric acid...... Oh yes. We have to continue to explore the saltpeter vein, otherwise, there will be no large-scale finished products.

"Hey, I said Edward, how long are you going to keep us out?"

A telecommunication technique interrupted the psychic warlock's thoughts, so he waved his hand and let the dwarf ** master walk into the space step by step. "How? Finally know how to replenish potions?" the rudimentary appliance in front of Edward. The smoke and the thoughtful expression on his sad face made the ** master stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "But it seems to be a little late now, right?"

It's not a little late, it's a little stupid, what's the use of having a ready-made master, messing around here by yourself?

"Teacher?, that's great. I just ran into a problem. Do you have a way to make this kind of thing? Of course, not with creation, I mean, from what raw materials?"

Edward pieced together the brightest smile on his face, and asked tentatively - due to the intervention of magic, the chemistry and physics of this world are in a pathological state of partial science, so the mages understand something. They are still accustomed to explaining in terms of the existence of strange forces and magic nets, that all acids are the same thing to them, whether they are nitrate or acetic acid.

"Purified acid, what's so difficult about that?"

Glancing at the grease-like liquid in the bottle, the Great Alchemist immediately gave Edward full disdain, "As long as a genuine mage has studied the transformation system spells, it is almost easy to make such a thing, but the purity is different...... Who are you going to use this kind of thing again? Demons don't care much about this thing, their shell is very dry, and with a water-making spell, this kind of thing can be easily washed away without causing much damage. ”

"I just wanted some ingredients, but I needed exactly the same thing. Edward emphasized.

"Exactly the same, okay......" Albert casually fumbled in the space bag a few times, and pulled out a yellow stone. Throw it to Edward.

"Just use this chalcedony lead, oh, this thing is the fool's gold that the idiots use to adulterate gold. You put it in a sealed container in the fire elemental realm to calcine it into powder, and you take the powder and dissolve it in water. And then distillation, it's easy to get this acid, and then the rest of the purification process, want me to teach you?"

"Please help me make some, now. Edward stubbornly demanded.

The old mage's experiments were dazzling...... And the process is just as difficult to figure out, three hourglass scales, that is, fifteen minutes later, he has already placed a large bottle of transparent liquid with a slight green glow in front of Edward, "It's a waste of time, if you can't give me a satisfactory answer, hum!"

Shaking his huge head, the old dwarf now seemed to be having a hard time finding anything to deal with this disciple, so he could only snort coldly in a threatening tone.

But at the moment, Edward was in no mood to pay attention to the old mage's thoughts, and he was engrossed in filling a large crystal bottle with acid.

The heat generated by the mixing of nitric acid and sulphuric acid is the most time-consuming step in the process, but thanks to magic, the cooling process is much easier...... As for the process of mixing glycerin slowly, the multiple droppers controlled by the power of the mind speed up, but the process is still a little anxious.

"That's it?"

After the two hourglass scales, Albert frowned as he watched Edward slowly channel the orange liquid from the flask with psychic power and let out a long sigh.

In the eyes of this ** master, the small bottle in the hand of the mind warlock was simply mediocre. There is not the slightest dissipation of elemental power, there is no fluctuation of magic power, and the appearance of a little muddy is no different from a puddle of grease on the side of the road. "What the hell is this potion?"

"Well, the simple effect is to treat heart disease, but now it's basically an explosive agent, although it's only a half-finished product. Edward handed the bottle to the old gnome, "Be careful, this thing ......"

"What are you nervous about? This thing ......."

Before the words fell, the bottle had already exploded into an orange-red fire in the old dwarf's hand!

Maybe it's because of those magic rings on his hand, or maybe it's something he hit after taking the bottle, anyway. The world's first bottle of liquid explosives revealed its hideous face less than thirty seconds after it was born. Or did some god maliciously manipulate this qiē and let a famous mage on the Big 6 come to cry for the first test of this potion?

At the moment when the fireball exploded, the silver shield of light had already rolled up from all around, completely enveloping the old mage! There was only one passage that led the air flow to the vent, and finally avoided the danger of another miasma of smoke in this real room.

As for the old mage himself who was in the middle of the protection. Edward wasn't interested.

A ** division, even if it is defenseless, but if it is killed by this kind of Cheng dù's explosion, then I am afraid it will not survive now.

It doesn't matter if he's injured in the explosion, teach him a lesson about the dangers of nitroglycerin - it's impossible for the old guy not to play with something new. Edward didn't want to overhaul the Floating City in two days.

"Ahhh It's too ...... to be able to create a potion of this effect with a little Fool's Gold and saltpeter It's so easy to use!"

Of course, it is easy to use, and at the same mass, nitroglycerin has 16 times the explosive power of black powder, which is higher than that of traditional yellow explosives......

The next thing is to solve this explosive problem.

In my memory, it seems that this thing is combined with nitrocotton to form a gelatin, but the problem is, in this plane. Cotton has not yet been popularized on a large scale, and the master of the dynamite award seems to use a kind of seaweed earth, but which one is it?

"This thing, that's pretty good. After choking and coughing twice, Albert seemed to have finally suppressed his excitement, and Yan sù said: "The power is not small, and the system is simple." You don't even need to rely on magic at all, as long as you find a mine of Fool's Gold, and add saltpeter, you can produce it in large quantities, right? In addition to the cannonballs that you mentioned, I'm afraid the biggest role is for ordinary people to deal with monsters with spell-casting abilities?

Just as the musket ended the age of knights, the application of nitroglycerin may also announce the disappearance of mages.

At least the disappearance on the battlefield.

A mage, even with the best qualifications, needs to learn and practice for at least one to two years to master the fireball technique if he wants the power of mass destruction. To learn to mass-produce nitroglycerin, you only need to get the formula, plus a slightly smarter guy, and observe and study for a few days, at most a month, while nitroglycerin will not fail due to the vibration of the magic net, does not require an annual salary, does not need a real room, and will not interfere in the family affairs of the nobles...... And so on and so forth.

In the face of so many advantages, presumably any lord would be willing to replace a few flashy mages in his territory with this kind of thing.

"But there's nothing wrong with disappearing from war?" Edward shrugged, "Mages, who should stay away from war, artists, scholars, or researchers of the laws of nature, are the driving force that drives the times, not simple and crude weapons. ”

The so-called change of times is by no means so easy.

Magic has a vast foundation, permeates all the history and culture of this world, and builds the foundation of this world, and it will not be replaced by anything unless it is complete and can match each other. Some things alone may be eye-catching, but in the end, they are just integrated into this large and complex system, forming a special root system.

"Artist, Scholar...... You can say that again. But from now on, I am afraid that the world will not be at peace. The old mage narrowed his eyes, staring at the young man's slightly distorted smile, and couldn't help but sigh: "Stretch out your hand to their unknown magical beast...... Anyway, there has never been a shortage of stupid shit stuff in this world. Or it would be better to separate the magic from them...... It's better. ”

"It won't be that fast...... Mentor, it won't be so fast...... The behemoth of the times. It won't be so easy to turn into that kind of space-time hurricane, at least, until the material is so abundant that it can sustain it......"

"I hope so. ”

The old dwarf shook his head slightly: "Then, let's see first, whether these fool gold brings us the ultimate stupidity, or the wisdom of this era." ”

The huge battleship trembled slightly. Let the halo of teleportation draw a gap in the space that expands in the ship...... The brilliance flowed, and the transformation of the two spaces was quietly completed, so the behemoth had quietly passed through the sky over the rolling mountains, slowly descending to one of the gentle ramps.

"Let me borrow the energy of your core circle. "Passing through the passage in the center of the battleship, I faced the giant ** array that constructed a magical miracle. And the slowly rotating core, the ** master said to Edward.

Edward frowned.

As the two short little hands of the ** master pressed a pulse point in the central energy supply array, on the central core, the brilliance of magic flowed like a rainbow, constructing a rushing torrent that he had never seen before.

Albert inhaled deeply.

Edward could see, and only his divine vision could notice. Beyond those few planes, the barren land beneath the battleship was constantly wriggling, cracking and spreading into magnificent textures on the earth, and then crumbling into a bottomless depth in the center...... As if in response to the rhythm of the ** division's breathing, countless gravel formed a column of torrents, like springs, gushing up from the ground and rushing into the open door under the giant ship!

Here it is. The miracle of sorcery?

Excavating ore veins was not unimaginable for Edward, but in his mind, it was nothing more than ...... Or at least dig a big pit to extract what you need, and whether it's directly picked up with spiritual power, or with elemental creatures, or there are traces to follow.

But so violated the rules of the table xiàn. The so-called 'magic of magic' has been crossed. And closer to ......

Miracles?

"This kind of power is not surprising, as long as you master the art of shaping spells, then even you can create even more powerful powers. Oh, you as a psychic mancer. Maybe my talents will come to you. ”

Or perceiving the surprise of the Psychic Warlock, the ** master sighed softly. It's just that the emotion in his voice can't tell whether it's pride or sighing: "The core of the Floating City, the masterpiece of the ancient arcanists, can directly draw the purest energy from the magic web, relying on the source of this energy, the arcanists created the civilization of the ancient magic kingdom, and even made a feat to challenge the gods." ”

Is it just a challenge to the gods?

The Psychic pursed his lips, and the luster of his eyes moved slightly.

As a mortal who had fought against gods, Edward was probably more qualified, and in his opinion, if the power in front of him did not explode suddenly, then it would not be difficult to compete with gods above the middle level. And in the ancient magic kingdom, there are no less than hundreds of floating cities with such a magical core in legends!

But even the ancient magic kingdom with such power is still hidden by the gods in the dust of history, leaving only a few remnants for future generations to marvel at.

Now, what kind of ending will you get if you are going to be the enemy of the entire divine realm?

......

A qiē proceeds in an orderly manner.

Teleport, Absorb ...... The collection of saltpeter was no different from Fool's Gold, but it was just a lackluster repetition, and after only a quarter of an hourglass, inside the battleship, a space warehouse the size of a football field, was already full of saltpeter and Fool's Gold rough stones, and it was a high-purity, almost high-grade ore that could be smelted directly.

There is almost no need to find the fat of living beings, because Pandorian Ryan's evil talisman connects the teleportation laws of all worlds - several giant baleen whales growing in the water elemental plane forcibly break through the constraints of the plane, and this creature weighing dozens of tons can almost half of its body weight and turn it into the purest oil.

Then, the time for the next hourglass, attributed to manufacturing.

Huge metal cauldrons, more than a person's height, were shaped by the power of magic, and then sent into the flaming elemental plane, and the sulfuric acid was introduced into the huge liquid tank along the constantly constructed ceramic pipes, and when the device was constructed, the first batch of corrosive liquid, which was as strong as oil, had been slowly injected into the smelting pool surrounded by ice.

Stirring, merging, those terrible yellow-brown explosions were precipitated along the icy passage to the final site.

By combining nitroglycerin and fluffy wood, the fibers of these corks have been broken down to an extreme level that is almost as good as any cotton.

Demons are indeed very tricky creatures, their strength is strong, their means are diverse, and unlike ordinary armies, there is no food restriction at all,

Instead of waiting for them to pop up on the big 6, it is better to put the position where they appear in a place where we can control it.
