Chapter 107: Target, Iron Hills
"Senior brother, our resource reserves are about to run out!" At the weekly routine report meeting, Yan Qi brought bad news to Chang Hao from the R&D department.
Chang Hao frowned, this problem was finally exposed.
There are indeed a lot of reserves of iron ore and other rare metals in the Varonian Wasteland, but half of them have to be handed over to the kingdom, and the purity of the steel used in the existing weapons and equipment of the Bright Field has almost reached its peak, and it is true that it is extremely strong, but the consumption of steel can be said to be very unfriendly.
Now the direct train from the underground arsenal of Guangmingye to the iron mining area has been opened to the third train, and the whistle rings non-stop every day.
Many people have persuaded him, saying that there is no need for such rapid development like burning eyebrows, anyway, Guangmingye is now in his youth, and he can consider slowing down.
But only Chang Hao himself knows that he will not stay in this world for long, and his ultimate goal is to improve his cultivation as much as possible, and pull out a team of his own, so that it is possible to save the earth that is shrouded in the haze of invasion.
Now that he has been in the Middle-earth Continent for more than half a year, through his perseverance in cultivating his divine sense and tempering his physical body every day, his cultivation has also come to the late stage of the Jindan Realm.
The cultivation of the late stage of the Jindan Realm is on the Middle-earth Continent, and the target is a high-level existence such as a high-level golden knight and a great magician, which can be said to be extremely difficult.
But Chang Hao knew that the so-called cultivation in the late stage of the Jindan Realm was no more than Erer in the era of cultivating immortals in the ancient period, and it was not even as good as insects in the eyes of powerful and mysterious alien civilizations.
In Qingyun Mountain, a super sect headed by his father, those who were qualified to stand on the front line against alien civilizations were all those super powers who burned mountains and boiled the sea. Without that level of strength, defending the homeland or something is just empty talk.
Guangmingye must not stop the pace of rapid development, whether it is science and technology, magic attainments or cultivation realms. The old man once said that even with the current level of technology and military strength of the earth, it would never be possible to survive 7 hours under the attack of alien civilizations, so he needed more powerful strength, and he needed strength far beyond the current level of the earth. Development, development, he wants to develop at all costs!
"How is the relationship between the Iron Hills and the Orc Kingdom in the west of the Great Varonian Wasteland?" Chang Hao quickly hit the group of dwarves with his idea.
"The Iron Hills and the Orc Kingdom have been allies since the time of the Great War on land and sea, and there has been trade between the two countries from time to time. "There is an old man in the family, there is a treasure, the saying is very suitable for the penguin butler Jarvis, he bowed to Chang Hao slightly and said: "Iron Hills made a lot of weapons and equipment that can effectively fight the sea clan during the sea and land war and gave them to the orc kingdom, and those weapons that have not been broken for thousands of years are still playing a role on the walls of the kingdom's capital." ”
Chang Hao nodded, he remembered that when he first went to the capital Pompeii, those sickle-bladed ballistae that stood on the towers of the city wall were indeed worthy of the name of the Iron Hill.
"Iron Hills is known for its craftsmanship at forging artifacts, but what makes them most talked about is their almost infinite mineral reserves. The old gentleman Jarvis held up the beautiful bow tie on his chest, "Does the lord want to import all kinds of ores from the Iron Hills?"
"Yes, that's exactly what I thought. Chang Hao suddenly said: "Wait a minute, Jarvis, you just said that Iron Hill made artifacts, what kind of artifacts are they?"
"Yes, my lord, but I don't know much about artifacts. The penguin steward waved his hand gentlemanly, indicating that this thing was beyond his knowledge.
"I know a little bit about artifacts. Anna pondered for a moment before speaking, "Iron Hills has forged many artifacts, and the most famous of them is the Thunder Roaring Axe. During the Great War on Land and Sea, it was the King of the Iron Hills who used that artifact axe to cut off the head of a deep-sea killer whale guard, which greatly boosted morale. ”
"How powerful is the artifact?" Chang Hao sat up straight inadvertently, obviously the concept of the artifact had attracted his attention. When he heard about the artifact, the first thing that came to his mind was a product of one or more special effects, such as the "Stinging Needle" in "The Lord of the Rings" that can detect half-orcs or the "One Ring" that can make the wearer invisible.
"Offensive artifacts are extremely powerful, such as the Thunder Roaring Battle Axe, which slashes with a sputter of thunder that is unimaginably lethal to the Sea Clan. My father once said in his bedtime story that the thunder from the thunder roaring tomahawk was much stronger than the high-level magic nebula chain lightning of the great magician. Anna recalls the bedtime stories of her childhood, and her face is unconsciously full of solemnity.
"Does the thunder splash attached to the slash have the power of the Great Magician..."Chang Hao touched his chin and thought, the Great Magician is about the same as the Yuan Infant Realm, and the power of this level is not weak, only he can withstand this kind of thunder in the Bright Field.
"If Iron Hills can make artifacts, how can their level of casting and craftsmanship still be below that of the Human Empire?" Emilia was a little puzzled.
"The dwarves of the Iron Hills are all nerve knives, and it is true that they are keen on casting, and they can indeed make powerful artifacts during wartime, but they are not so hard at peace, and the so-called artifacts they create are toys that they don't use, and compared with the casting skills that the Human Empire is always improving and developing, the two are not on the same level at all. Anna said this with a helpless expression of hatred.
"How many countries are there with artifacts?" Chang Ge was very concerned about this issue.
"Many nations and forces in Middle-earth possess artifacts, such as the Elven Diamond and the Sword of Granary in the Elven Mansion, the Gauntlets of the Mountain Giants of the Iron Hills, the Thunder Roaring Axe just mentioned, the Seagod Trident of the Sea Clan, and the Divine Grace Primordial of the Holy See of the Human Empire. ”
Anna knew that Chang Hao's main concern must be the Human Empire, so she simply finished in one breath: "The Divine Grace Primal Code is an artifact shaped like a bird's wings, and it is said that when you get close to it, people will hear sounds like birds flapping their wings and birds chirping. When it is fully unfolded, the light of the gods in heaven will shine on the earth, and then the light will destroy everything. ”
"From a scientific point of view, I have reason to believe that this artifact, called the Divine Grace Original, is probably the prototype of an orbital-to-ground attack weapon. Chang Ge snorted, "If you don't agree with each other, you can destroy the earth with holy light, and there are really gentle enough gods." ”
"Does the kingdom have a specific record of the power of the original text of divine grace?" Chang Hao's idea coincided with Chang Ge, how did this thing sound a bit like a railgun in a science fiction movie that could attack the ground from space? This is not good news.
"This is really not the case, because even the appearance and approximate function of the artifact of the Divine Grace Primal Code were all heard from my father before, and the Human Empire has not used this artifact in history. ”
Anna explained: "Originally, during the land and sea war, the Human Empire planned to use the original text of divine grace to drive the sea people back to the Aegean Sea, but because the dragon knights who joined the battle later quickly gained a huge advantage on the battlefield, in the end, there was no need to use the original code of divine grace again. ”
"Then do we have any artifacts in the orc kingdom?" Chang Hao's tone was very tactful.
"Nope. But we believe that the war song is the best artifact that the gods have given us!" Anna's face was full of fanaticism, she was a staunch war songist.
However, Chang Hao felt that what she said was not bad, after all, most of the things like artifacts were used to serve the war, and the war song could greatly increase the attributes of the orcs in all aspects, in a sense, it was no worse than the so-called artifacts.
But fortunately, in the bright field, there is a treasure that is more powerful than an artifact.
That is the Human Emperor Sword left to him by his father, the Moon Rainbow Sword.
