"That's called Ogel? The dwarven master of the Stone Fist, I did learn from the Golden Bolt? Muradin, who had heard him a few times, knew that he was an avid musket enthusiast, and was convinced that the musket would be a weapon that would change the form of warfare in the future. Drink, what a paranoid guy, but he does have a few eyes and opinions"

"Paranoia is true, but without the advent of your channeling technique, Teacher, his vision and opinions would be nothing more than a fantasy. I brought him back because he was in a firearm...... Or rather, there are some ideas in the design of thermal weapons. It may be possible to bring more practical possibilities to your research theories. ”

"Stinky boy, don't fool. You brought him back at such a time, and I really thought I wouldn't know what you were thinking? Orucello glared at Lu Xi, and said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone: "Weapon development, although I know that this step will be inevitable sooner or later, but I can't imagine that after all, I will see this step when I am alive!" ”

"Teacher?"

"Anyway, at my age, I don't have a few years to live, I originally wanted to wait until my eyes were closed, and then you kid tossed around, anyway, no matter how much trouble I made, I couldn't see it. Hehe, people look forward to stability as soon as they get old, and the spirit of adventure is really not as good as before. I can't imagine, or even want to imagine, how cruel the battlefield will be if the guide gun on your waist is turned into a single soldier, a cluster or even a large one......

Lu Xi expressed his understanding, but he still couldn't help but secretly think that you are really rare and strange, and the historical limitations of the legend are still in existence after all, even you, the dignified Orucello? Couldn't Marx be exempt from vulgarity?

Yes, the battlefield in the age of hot weapons is certainly much more brutal than cold weapons. Especially in the era when hot weapons have just appeared, people all over the world are playing in line to shoot. A larger-scale battle was fought, and if you were not careful, tens of thousands of war dead. The casualty rate is often thirty or forty percent, which is enough for the most elite army of our time to collapse several rounds in the era of cold weapons. It was time for the industrial explosion to develop. Heaven and earth, land and sea level, and below the sea level, there are battlefields of human competition everywhere. And then. In the era that Lu Xi traveled through, the firepower of a thousand-strong army could turn a city inhabited by hundreds of thousands of people into rubble, and this was still without considering the fire support of the sea and air.

But my teacher, you can't underestimate human endurance. For a modern person like me, who has seen mushroom eggs and seen biochemical weapons, I know very well how perverted humans can go in order to deal with their own kind...... It's just a firearm, it's just playing with the rest of the mass consumer goods.

Thinking of this, Lu Xi immediately said: "I told you before that the first application field of new technology must be the military." And I personally thought. If we really want to continue to study guided weapons, we should not just stop at the surface of such a stupid and thick firearm. Haven't you solved the problem of the steady output and explosive output of the seven obsidian crystals? In addition, on Black Rose and Sword Lady, I also tried to use hedras with different attributes as energy sources, so that the attacks have more elemental damage effects. I think we could have thought a little more in this direction...... As we all know, the so-called magic is actually the effect of the caster's own mental power to deconstruct and rearrange the elements on the material world. If we could design a small automaton. Isn't it equivalent to using magic to install obsidian crystals with different properties on them and let the machine help the user extract and arrange the elements in the crystals? All people are capable of magic, hehe. This picture is so beautiful that you will get drunk just thinking about it. ”

Orucello's eyes couldn't help but light up, and this was the first time he showed a moving look today: "It's definitely impossible for everyone. This kind of machinery is very complex when you think about it. It should be difficult to make zuò, and the price is definitely high. And machinery is not a panacea. In order to extract elemental energy from nature, it is necessary to rely on the mental power of the caster. ”

Lu Xi nodded: "That's true." Like me, I want to make the Black Rose work the magic it needs. It also costs a little mana. ”

"Moreover, this kind of mechanical energy embodiment magic is definitely not as diverse as the caster, and it is not even useful at all for us top spellcasters who can use military-level destruction spells with a single gesture."

"But how many spellcasters are there in the world? If this kind of machine does appear, it can at least greatly lower the threshold for using magic. But by that time, the position of the Learned Alliance would be shaky. ”

“…… Hey, little one, I have to admit that you're going to surprise me at the right time! ”

Lu Xi shrugged: "So, you should also honestly admit that your disciple is a genius." ”

"As a teacher, I have never doubted that you are not a genius, but I just think that your genius Cheng Dù is still a little worse than me." Orucello still had a smile full of "relief": "You did remind us of the next research direction, but it has nothing to do with whether we want to develop and mass-produce guide guns." To put it bluntly, whether it's a guide gun or this mechanical ...... that makes it easier for more people to use magic."

"How about a tentative name for individual or tactical guides?"

"Well, the guide gun and the tactical guide device, to put it bluntly, aren't they both a way to weaponize the results of my guidance research on a large scale. Do you think I'm really going to be fooled by you? ”

"......Shh Is it recognized? ”

Orucello pondered for a moment: "However, according to the current situation, our enemy will not let me wait too long, and it is time to prepare for a rainy day...... It would be too cost-effective to fight for hundreds of years like the Qiming War and damage the vitality of the entire continent, and it would be an insult to the IQ of my dignified Celestial Mentor. Weaponization of the guiding force, which may be a game-breaker......"

"Our enemy?!"

"Yes, our enemy!" Orucello's face suddenly became calm, and his tone became a little solemn: "Little Luxi, don't you want to know, where did I go last year?" ”

Lu Xi bowed. He was indeed curious. What kind of thing can make such a nervous teacher who is invincible in the world.

"Last year, I received a letter from Hector. It is said that the Demon God Seal located in the sand dunes of Arabia has also been broken. I had just finished my main research project, so I took a trip when I had nothing to do. ”

Having nothing to do for a trip? If only according to Daddy Camm. Your old expression was far from so calm.

The dunes of Arabia are theoretically no longer part of the continent of Gaboa, but belong to the northernmost part of Sosnes, a cape peninsula deep into the Morning Sea, and the Twilight Islands where the High Elves are located are only a day or two away by boat.

It is a large death zone composed of active quicksand, and there is no guide to the attribute terrain, so even the decisive strength can die in the quicksand trap and dehydrated environment. The reason why the Dawn Alliance sealed a part of the body of the Bloodthirsty King there was also considering that the desert was a natural and strong line of defense.

Beyond that, it's not just the desert that guards the seal. There is also a team of 100 elite Vanya elf soldiers, which rotate every year. If something happens, these elven soldiers will immediately light the beacon, and the army of the Vanya elves riding the Ancestral Divine State or riding the Pegasus will arrive to support within a few hours.

"Even so, the seal was broken. And the elven guard was also wiped out, and the death was unknown, and it didn't even have time to raise the alarm. Orucello spread his hands: "How is it, Xiao Luxi, is it with you in Norda, Heiman." And what happened to the Atlas Mountains is very similar? ”

"Hey, and I also know that one of the masterminds who fanned the flames here was that little strong Abyss Lord Belkir. That's why I said we should do our best to get the 460mm guide cannon out and hit him with one shot...... Wait, that's it. Isn't there only the frozen valley and the part of Brenor Bay left? Uh, I just got back from the Frozen Gorge? Belkiel instigated the Demon Thirteen Legion to attack Goodetias, wouldn't it also be for the Laxis Seal there? ”

"I don't know. It is estimated that it is more auspicious than lucky. Fortunately, the seal there was also a cover-up, but in fact there was nothing. Even if it's destroyed, it doesn't matter. As for the head of the most important bloodthirsty king in Brenor Bay, it was taken care of by the fat fish himself. Moreover, in the environment of the deep sea, even the Abyss Lord with full strength could not be the opponent of those mermaid royal clans, so there was no need to worry about it for the time being. "But we can be sure that there are indeed some evil forces that are trying to bring the demon gods back. ”

"Well, we can also be sure that the Dragon Knights are a bunch of fools, and they are actually led around by the nose by the enemy like this. Exhausted and exhausted, but nothing can be stopped, and the 'Ultimate Demon God Class' that countries spend so much money on every year is all a group of tease! ”

"They're proud dragon knights, not detectives." Orucello also spread his hands with disdain: "Of course, it's really unreliable." So if you can only save the world, you must still have my dignified Celestial Mentor, Orucello? Master Berencaster personally stepped out! ”

"What? Have you agreed to start making guided weapons? ”

"Don't worry, there's a very important question, I have to listen to your thoughts first." Orucello said: "I have told you before, a new weapon appears on the battlefield, and it will be mastered by an opponent with the support of national power in half a year at most. So you can't guarantee that our guiding weapons won't be learned by our enemies...... So, Xiao Luxi, how should we solve this problem? ”

"It's impossible to make it impossible for others to never learn." Lu Xi replied in a categorical tone.

"Oh?" Orucello raised his eyebrows, smiling.

"But the first thing we have to consider is who our enemies are. To put it bluntly, teacher, from our standpoint, the civil war in Auckland, the imminent movement of the Nord ministries, the factional struggle between the Federations, and even the chain reaction between the countries of the world brought about by the political game between these three powers, and perhaps the reaction of the dwarves, elves, and sea tribes, actually have little to do with us. Teacher, we are mad scientists, and we are changing careers to start the arms business, but we are not politicians in any of the above countries. To put it bluntly, from a standpoint, we are very similar to the transcendent Great Sanctuary and the Dragon Knights, and the real enemies are actually the undead, the Black Flag Wingers, the Orcs, the Fallen Naga, and the demons and the demon gods behind them. Listen, these unscrupulous races don't even have a reliable civilization. The era of leading force depends on the so-called comprehensive national strength. It must be them who will be crushed at that time. ”

Orucello nodded, "Go on." ”

"As for the rest...... I don't think we can have a monopoly on the technology forever. In particular, the development and manufacture of conductive weapons. No country will allow a private person to have a permanent monopoly on a powerful new weapon, not even with your prestige and strength, and with my personal relationship with the future rulers of the two empires. However, we can think differently. After the gradual popularization of conduction technology, the company or organization led by us must stand at the forefront of theoretical research and new product development of conduction technology in the future. As for some of the products that have been promoted, they can be handed over to other people to produce and operate, and we can see that the balance of power between countries is transcendent, even if there are really careerists who want to use the guiding weapon to do something discordant. We also have the means to counteract. In this way, Teacher, not only can we become another world-class White Dao boss like the Dragon Knights or the Great Templar, but your old dreams can also come true. ”

"My dream?"

"Eh, your old dream is not to figure out the use of guò seven obsidian spars to revolutionize the productivity of this world, so that the cultivators have their own fields and dwellers have their own houses The Datong society will come as soon as possible, and then you can become holy through the legendary great merits of guò."

"Well, it seems like you don't say it. I forgot that I still have such a glorious ideal. Orucello couldn't help but be happy: "In addition, the big boss of the White Dao, I guess I won't see it this day, but your possibility is a little greater." But. Haven't you always wanted to eat and die? When did you become so ambitious? ”

"Because you just said that the harmony of my Crystal Palace has a direct impact on world peace. The key problem is that there is either an empress or an empress in our crystal palace. Maybe there is an even more terrifying terrorist organization Big Sister, even the most well-behaved future must be the High Priest, Sword Saint, and Great Magister and other high-powered beings...... If you don't give yourself any more effort. How can we maintain harmony and avoid the final outbreak of the firewood knife! Thinking of this, Lu Xi couldn't help but burst into tears. Everyone raises cute koi fish in the Crystal Palace. Why did you just shake M so much that you want to raise sharks in the Crystal Palace?

"But before we can do that, we have to make weapons. That's what you mean, right? ”

"There shouldn't be any other way, the best way to prove the superiority of new technologies is always on the battlefield, which is probably the incorrigible place of life. But that's fine, in a hundred years, you will go down in history as the 'Father of the World's Guiding Forces', and I, no matter how bad I am, I should be able to mix up the name of the 'Godfather of Guiding Weapons'. ”

Orucello pondered for a moment, and finally nodded slightly: "Okay, little Luxi, I agree with your words today in principle. When the old drunkard and the old nerd come, let's talk about this new company or organization, and the direction of our future research. ”

"Ulla! This is the first step towards Inter Nachon's realization! Ulla! ”

“…… However, I have three more conditions. ”

Lu Xi's cheering expression suddenly collapsed, and he said listlessly: "Uh, I knew you were waiting for me a long time ago." Well, let's talk about it. ”

"First, the old barrel and the old nerd will arrive at Rainbow Rose Island in a month and a half, and you will have to be involved in all of our research after that. As the heir to the 'Father of World Guidance', I don't want you to become a magical barbarian who only knows how to rub fireballs. ”

"That's something you can't ask for!" Lu Xi nodded seriously, and his face once again regained his look. With the experience of this research, I can finally call myself a tech nerd!

"Second, whatever weapons we develop, you are not allowed to sell large-scale finished products to anyone with my consent. Including your two princesses and the girlfriend of the head of the underworld. ”

“…… Well, if that's the case, it seems like you'll lose a lot of gold? I understand your concern, though. Don't worry, I fully agree with this condition. Until we have the means to counteract, I will never expose the secrets of the Guiding Force Weapon to anyone. ”

"Third...... That little girl from the Drow Elf is called Dina, right? Hey, you kid is a half-kid yourself, and you dare to accept apprentices without shame? ”

"Even if it's a half-ass, it's still the 'archmage' who killed the snake demon general and the abyss lord." Lu Xi dissatisfied.

"I'll personally arrange her basic lesson plan."

"This ...... You're not going to do anything very inhumane, are you? ”

"You can rest assured, our Colorful Rose is in the same vein, and the way we treat male disciples and female disciples is naturally different. As for you, before the old barrel and the old nerd arrive, you'll have to master the basics of the Forbidden Charm of Laxis and all its variations and applications. ”

“……！！”

"Hehe, I have to say that I haven't seen you for more than a year, and the growth of your child really amazes me! It's time for you to master the highest meaning in this arcane realm. I sincerely hope that you will understand that the strength of man is only due to his own strength, but not by the strength of external objects. (To be continued......)

PS: Well, it's still a big chapter, please continue to smash me to death with tickets, oh hehehe
