In winter, the snow has subsided a lot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Roland hummed a tune and looked at the three manuscripts on the table.

They are the prototype and production of new munitions, the finalization of a new generation of small arms and light weapons, and the construction of the Mage Tower.

The first two are the products of his long-term conception, and now with Agatha's freezing and temperature control, the town's nitric acid production has increased greatly, and the stability of the large-scale production of nitrogeniter* glycerin has also been solved, and the conditions for the manufacture of dual-base hair* ejection have been basically met.

Although it is known that this type of ejection* drug dissolves nitrocellulose into nitroacid* glycerin, and finally obtains a viscous gel that can be sliced or granulated, the specific ratio still needs to be slowly tested by alchemists.

Fortunately, Kemo Stower is now very proficient in quantitative and qualitative testing, and if he is given this task, he should be able to get results within a week or two.

Since it is necessary to produce a completely new type of fire-shot munition, the development of new light weapons naturally has to be put on the agenda.

Compared with the large-caliber revolver rifle used in black powder, the dual-base launch* charge can achieve equivalent lethality with only a small amount of weight, so in terms of comprehensive power and cost performance, it is an inevitable choice for the new rifle to be converted into a small-caliber automatic weapon.

Of course, the specific parameters have to be further determined according to Anna's processing results.

Roland took a sip of hot tea and set the third manuscript in front of him—something he was most interested in at the moment.

The contents of this document seem to be extremely incongruous compared to previous plans - at Agatha's request, he intends to build a mage tower on the other side of the Witch's House for the research and manufacture of sigils.

Just think about the chimneys and factories mixed with a towering magic tower...... It's funky.

Roland couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The nightingale who was munching on dried fish on the side rolled her eyes, "Is the sigil so interesting? The witch kingdom has many sigils, but in the end it still loses to the devil." ”

"But there is also something very interesting in it," said the prince, taking out a thick book from a drawer—a complete set of sigils translated from the test notes left behind by the Secret Society, which contained all the recipes that the Society had obtained over the past two hundred years.

For him, it was a whole new continent.

By the time Agatha had finished translating it, Roland had spent almost the entire night working on the book, looking at the myriad lists of uses and combinations of magic stones, as if he were assembling rune words. Probably, when the chief alchemist got the "Elementary Chemistry", he was also in such an excited and excited mood to read those chemical formulas.

For knowledge that has never been seen, even if it is just fur, it will seem extraordinarily attractive.

"For example?" the nightingale leaned over sideways.

"Like this," Roland pointed to the next line of the page, "the ancient witch called it a listening sigil, which could be used for long-distance communication, similar to a tracking sigil, and once made, the separation would have an effect. He moved his fingers down, "The material is also very simple, only an echo stone and a marker stone. ”

According to the description in the book, this sigil has a range of tens of miles, although it is not as good as the mobile phones supported by signal towers and satellites in later generations, but it is enough to be used as a short-range walkie-talkie.

"Really?" Nightingale glanced twice, reached out and pushed his finger away, pointing to the page to the right, "But it says here, the Echo Stone comes from the Fear of Demons, and the Marker Stone is commonly found in the Devil's Camp, how do you get these two magic stones?"

"No, we already have the materials," Roland said with great interest, "the red hedron that Lightning found in the ruins of the stone tower is an echo stone, and as for the marker stone, it is also the material that makes up the tracking sigil - such a sigil Tiri carries several sets, and only needs to open one copy. ”

"Even if Agatha could make it, you'd only get one Listening Sigil at most. ”

"Just let her try her hand, anyway, after fighting the devil in the future, there will definitely be more and more magic stones. "In the past, he didn't have the conditions to study the application of magic power, but now with Agatha's technical support, he will definitely not let go of this kind of resource that is almost given away for nothing.

"Alright," Nightingale shrugged, "what about the Divine Sign, and what magic stones does it need?"

"This ...... I remember on the last page," Roland flipped to the end of the book, "by the way, what were the results of your combat power test?"

The nightingale was stunned for a moment, and it took a moment before she spit out two words, "Secret!"

Well, was it Anna who struck me?

"Found it, here," said Tanunu, "the four magic stones needed are all written unknown...... Presumably, the secret will be kept secret and not recorded in written form. However, according to Agatha, most of these magic stones come from high-level devils, and even if they are written, I am afraid that few people will be able to get them. ”

"And then you hung such a precious thing in the hall," snorted the nightingale, "and if those transcendents knew about it, I am afraid that you would be brought back to life." ”

Because it's not anything precious at all, probably ...... It's equivalent to a dozen kilograms of t.n.t., Roland smiled and didn't answer.

......

This time, he waited until Agatha had finished her day's work to make acid before calling her to the office.

"This is the mage tower I designed for you, can you take a look," Roland drew a vertical drawing, "The basement is a warehouse, and there are three floors above, which are the apprentice test room, the main test room of the tower, and the office. ”

"Wait...... Why is it called the Mage's Tower?" said Agatha with a frown, "I just want a chemistry lab like Mr. Kemo's, a little more spacious and airy. And such a stone tower is very troublesome to build, Taqira has to be made into a tower shape because of the small size of the city, you have a lot of open space here. ”

That wouldn't be fashionable!," Roland shouted inwardly. "In short, the construction problem is not difficult to solve, in addition to the above functional areas, do you have any other requirements?"

"No," she said, "if you insist." ”

"Very well," Roland put down the sketch and recounted his thoughts for the morning, "can you make the sigil by yourself?"

"No," Agatha shook her head, "although the sigil is a connection of magic stones, the materials used to transmit magic power are very complex, and most importantly, it requires the blood of the devil. ”

The prince couldn't help but be stunned, "What?"

"You heard it right, it has to be the blood of the devil," she said in a deep voice, "and the Secret Society has done tens of thousands of experiments in exploring the nature of magic, and it has been proved that witches, devils, and evil beasts are very different in their flesh and blood, and they can play very different roles. ”

"The Witch's ...... Flesh and blood?" Roland was shocked, he suddenly realized the meaning behind these words, and couldn't help but ask, "What can they do?"

"Create a Divine Punishment Army. Agatha said with a blank face.
