Starting from Zero

After the main technical personnel of the three guilds gathered together, they began a lively discussion. However, because everyone’s research directions were different, there was no conflict, just mutual Enlighten and promote each other. After more than three hours of discussion, the technicians of the three guilds finally started to assemble the equipment, but there were a lot of complicated equipment on the original experimental site.

"What are they doing? Why do I think there are more and more equipment?" Among the three guild leaders, Gunslinger has the weakest technical foundation, so he simply doesn't Understand what these researchers are doing.

Axuford stared at the researchers attentively and explained to him: "The people in your guild seemed to have proposed a theory before, and then Purple Moon and their guild didn’t come to the scene. The high-level scientists seem to have improved the theory, but because these things are newly developed, the people in our guild didn’t expect to prepare the processing tools for those equipment, so they temporarily transferred from the Purple Moon’s guild. Part of the equipment. Now it seems that they are assembling this thing, but I don’t know what it will look like after it is made."

"Are they assembling weapons? Why don’t they look like it?" While listening to Ashford’s explanation, he asked suspiciously while looking at the equipment in the field that was gradually being assembled.

I said for Ashford: "It doesn't look like a weapon, it seems to be some kind of auxiliary equipment."

"Auxiliary equipment? Isn't it good to make weapons? "The gun god is an absolute offensive critic. Basically, there are only two words for offensive in his dictionary, so for him weapon is the first, and auxiliary equipment is naturally the best. It doesn't matter if there is none. Seeing that these researchers had discussed together for more than three hours and even assembled an auxiliary device, he naturally couldn't be happy.

"Can you stop being so anxious?" Ashford said: "I have been waiting for three days, not bad for this one!"

The gun god defended: "I'm not in a hurry. I'm worried! If the things we make are not useful, then we will be in vain!"

"Don't say it, it seems that the assembly has been completed. "

Following my words, the presidents of the other guilds present immediately became energetic. To be honest, most of the leaders of these guilds are also like the gun gods. Let them fight one by one and compete one by one, but let them do research. It’s okay to be like a gun god. At any rate, the technical power of their guild is there. Even if he doesn’t know how much he usually does, he can always get in touch with it, but the presidents of other guilds won’t work. , The group of people felt dizzy when they saw it. But now they finally heard that the equipment was completed, and they became excited together. Although they don't know much about technology, this does not prevent them from using the technological achievements.

The newly assembled device in the venue is a disgusting device. The reason why the word disgusting is used is mainly because the thing is covered with a layer of spiral-shaped transparent pipes, and a green liquid flows in these pipes, and the coiled shape of the pipes makes this equipment It looks like a green poop from a distance. Can you say that such a shape is not disgusting?

"Damn, just pretend to be a pile of poo in more than three hours?" The president of an Indian guild next to him interjected. Of course, his words immediately followed us in a circle of contempt. look.

"Hey, Woma, what are you pretending to be?" I asked loudly, standing on the stage.

Woma first glanced at me when he heard my question, and then suddenly said something to the people around him, and then ran over. The surrounding presidents were also waiting to see the results display, and now they saw a researcher coming over and naturally they all came together to listen to what she said. But Woma didn't explain the principle and performance of this thing to us, she only said a word from beginning to end. "If you want to know what it is for, just use it."

We all feel reasonable about Woma's statement, especially the leaders of the "ignorant and incompetent" faction represented by the gun god. . Anyway, even if Woma explained to them, that a bunch of technical principles and so on can stun them all, it is better to look at the effect directly.

Shortly after Woma ran to the stage, two people ran over with a box. Woma ordered them to put the box on the ground and lifted the lid of the box. Seeing the contents of the box, many of the guild leaders took two steps back, because the box contained nothing else, it was the kind of magic crystal steam rocket made by the Japanese. This small rocket, which is similar to the large-sized sky monkey, contains about fifty grams of compressed magic crystal steam. It will explode as soon as it hits the target. Its formidable power is no less than a large-caliber cannonball, which can easily penetrate one meter. The rock wall below, the formidable power is absolutely terrifying.

"Everyone has seen this thing, so I won't explain it much." Woma took a small rocket out of it, and then said: "This box was captured by the Japanese. , Now I’ll show you a demonstration.” Woma walked to the other side of the table, facing the sand dunes in the distance, and released a small rocket. He only heard a swish of the rocket, and followed by a loud. The explosion sound, the sand dune in front is cut off by half, this formidable power is definitely not fake. After releasing a magic crystal steam rocket, Woma said: "Everyone has seen that although the structure of the magic crystal steam rocket made by the Japanese is very simple, the formidable power is not small at all. The Chinese guilds present here The elders should have learned how powerful it is.” At this point, Voma took a rocket out of the box and continued: “But now you don’t have to worry about it anymore, because we will solve it perfectly. The huge threat posed by the Japanese magic crystal steam rocket." Woma said, suddenly igniting the rocket in his hand with everyone's horrified eyes and threw it at the machine that had just been assembled. However, just as the small rocket flew near the machine, there was a sudden flash on the machine, and the surrounding space was instantly enveloped by a circle of blue aperture, and the rocket hit it straight. This machine scared everyone with their necks shrunk in preparation for the upcoming big explosion. However, the facts are completely contrary to our expectations. The magic crystal steam rocket made a sound after hitting the machine, and then it fell directly to the ground and there was no more information.

"Duds?" The first reaction of the people around was that they encountered the duds, but finally they reacted faster.

"No, it's not a dud bomb. That machine can suppress the detonation of the magic crystal steam weapon!"

This discovery is like detonating a magic crystal steam among us The bomb, the crowd started talking after a rush. Being able to suppress the detonation of the magic crystal steam weapon means that the magic crystal steam weapon is invalid. If this step can be achieved, then we are still worried about the fart magic crystal steam bomb? Anyway, it is obviously not cost-effective to deal with a single enemy at the cost of the magic crystal steam weapon, and cities, battleships or the army can be equipped with this kind of defense equipment, which means that the magic crystal steam weapon will be useless in the future.

"That's right." Woma stood up and said: "This is the magic crystal energy stabilizer that we temporarily made based on the special phenomenon discovered by the technicians of the Holy Lance League during the research process. It It can make the magic crystal energy within the scope of action become very stable, and magic crystal steam weapons are also a type of magic crystal energy, and are also within the range of being suppressed. As long as this system is activated, any magic crystal energy weapon cannot Play a role, including the magic crystal cannon that existed before. Moreover, this device has a very powerful feature, that is, it is inductive. As long as the magic crystal energy material enters its range of action, it will automatically start. This saves our energy, we don’t have to keep it on, and it can also play a role of confidentiality. As long as it is not activated, no one knows whether we have a protector or not."

"haha, this Things are really useful!" The gun god was worried that this auxiliary device was useless before. Didn't expect came up with a super device that can completely suppress magic crystal steam weapons. This news is like winning the lottery. It's also exciting.

Just as a group of us hugged to celebrate the upcoming victory, Woma suddenly stopped us with a loud voice. "Everyone, everybody, please be quiet."

"en? What are you doing? Is there anything wrong with this thing?" Looking at Woma's expression, there is obviously a big problem, otherwise it will definitely not be the case. calm.

Waoma opened the mouth and said after we all calmed down and focused our attention on her: "As you can see, this kind of restriction device can perfectly fight the magic crystal. Steam weapons, it can be said that as long as you have this thing, you can completely treat the magic crystal steam weapon as a stone. But..." Woma deliberately stretched this but very long. "We are in trouble now."

"What is the trouble?"

"This is the trouble." Woma took out a piece of purple red that looked like a muddy mud Said: "This is purple clay, a very special kind of mineral mud. A key component of our magic crystal energy suppressor must be produced with a special element, and this element can only be found in purple clay." /p>

"What's the problem? Just buy more purple clay." A fool interjected.

Woma continued: "The problem is that purple clay is not a native mineral on Earth."

"Huh? It's not Earth...?" At this point, everyone couldn't help but join together. Turned his head to the sky. The two huge planets above us, one black and one red, are hanging high in the air, and our minds are floating there. The two duplicate maps of red planet and shadow planet equivalent to "Zero", except that the monster in it had run out when at first appeared, they were relatively safe in the later period. But players who tried to enter these two maps for exploration finally brought back only two pieces of information: 1. Many experiences and many treasures; 2. Monsters are very strong and abnormal. For such a place, everyone is eager and afraid, because the two planets are not connected to Earth’s Transmission Formation, so the player is basically resurrected in place when they arrive. Once you hang over there or get lost, it may even be possible. Was completely trapped and died there. Although I have also entered those two planets, according to my opinion, although the monster over there has a lot of experience, it is definitely not worthwhile relative to the degree of danger over there. There is no high level monster area on Earth. If you really want to level up quickly, you can find a high level monster try one's luck. It's better than going there to die.

"Red planet or shadow planet?" I asked.

"There are on both sides." Woma said: "This clay exists on both planets, except Earth does not."

"That means wanting to have This kind of magic crystal energy suppressor must send someone to mine this kind of clay, right?" the gun god asked.

"There is no need to send someone to mine. The magic crystal energy stabilizer requires very little weight. With the content of this element in purple clay, the elements extracted from one gram of purple clay are enough for us to produce a stable It’s a weapon."

"One gram?" I thought about it and said, "We can sell magic crystal steam weapons, but this kind of equipment is definitely not for sale, except for the guilds present. You can’t sell it to others, so you don’t need too much. One ton of purple clay is enough to produce one million units on the basis of one gram, one million units, and we don’t need that much for these guilds, right?"

"That's not necessarily true." After finishing talking, Ashford asked Woma again: "How big is the range of this stabilizer?"

"The range of action can be based on Need to adjust, we can even produce a stable area of ​​any shape, so whether it is a city or a battleship, only one is enough. We can set the protection range of the stabilizer according to the shape of the city or the battleship, and it is stable The scope of the filter has nothing to do with the amount of use of that element, so no matter how much area you need to protect, as long as you don’t need to separate it, just one machine and one gram of purple clay is enough."

Ah After hearing this, Xiufu said, "If you say it like this, it really doesn't take much! A city only needs one, and our guilds have no more than 500 cities together, which is not much use. Only. The battleship consumes a little bit more, but I don’t think it’s necessary for small ships to be installed at all. The minimum installation to frigate Level 1 is enough. Small ships can hide near large ships when encountering magic crystal steam weapons. They generally don’t act alone anyway. Counting this way, let alone one million units, 100,000 units will not be used."

"A hundred thousand units are only 100kg of purple clay. This amount is really not big, as long as It can be brought back by one person. The problem is that both the shadow planet and the red planet are super dangerous areas. In such places, ordinary people may not be able to get out of it, right?" said a president of an Indian guild.

"Most people really can't get out, but some people should have no problem." As soon as another Indian guild president said this, other people's eyes focused on me and the gun god.

"Hey, isn't it? There is no Transmission Formation in that kind of place. We may not get out if we go in!" The gunmaster obviously hesitated. After all, that kind of place is too dangerous, but It seemed a pity to let him give up the magic crystal energy stabilizer.

"I have been to red planet once." I said. "If we are two partners, theoretically they should be able to cope."

"Even if I agree, do you know where to find this kind of clay?" Gun God asked back: "That's one Planet! The map is so big that it's endless, do you want to go to the local quality expedition team to explore one by one?"

"It's not enough." Woma said, "Our guild now has more than a dozen grams. This kind of purple clay was brought back by a player who likes to explore on Red Planet. He knows the specific location. According to his statement, there is a big mud pond in that place, which is full of these things, with at least dozens of tons of reserves."

"Will he lead the way?" I asked.

Woma nodded. "We told him before we didn't know the purpose of this thing. If this material is useful, he will be a guide. Of course, he needs to pay extra."

After listening to Woma's words I immediately turned to the gun god and said: "Your problem is solved now, are you going or not?"

"Do I have a chance to refuse?" The gun god reluctantly responded to the messenger. After all, he Your own guild also needs this thing.

If the magic crystal steam weapon is compared to a weapon made of high-carbon steel, then the gunpowder weapon in the past is a weapon made of bronze. Both can be used to kill people, but the formidable power simply Not one level. As for the magic crystal energy stabilizer, the equivalent to is a set of impervious to sword and spear. If we can get purple clay, we can get this emperor silkworm armor. Before the opponent can develop a more powerful weapon, it is almost invincible to possess it. This temptation is so great that the gun god knows that red planet is extreme. The danger is still ready to take a risk and run with me.

After hearing that the gun god agreed, I immediately said to Woma: "Then you go and find the guide right away, and we will leave as soon as possible."

"The remaining weapons What about the experiment?"

"What are there?"

"Wait a moment."

The technicians soon after Woma returned to the experimental area Just brought some grotesquely shaped things in front of us. Probably because of the hurry, Woma didn't elaborate on these weapons as before. But I think because of the magic crystal energy stabilizer, it seems that magic crystal steam weapons have little meaning to us. Anyway, we have the "celestial silkworm armor" of the magic crystal energy stabilizer, but the enemies are all shirtless. In this case, it doesn't make much difference whether we are holding an ordinary kitchen knife or a Heaven Reliant Sword.

In fact, most of the weapons produced by Woma are conventional weapons. Grenades and artillery are basic equipment. They are not much different from the weapons that used gunpowder before, but the formidable power has been enhanced. The real modification is the remaining weapons.

The first special product is a gun, but I think it’s more appropriate to call it a single-soldier artillery. Its design concept comes from the anti-material sniper rifle, but due to technical reasons, the caliber is much larger than the actual anti-material weapon. Basically, it is a cannon, but its size is relatively small. The structure of this weapon is not much different from a general gun, but the material is stronger and thicker. The key is the bullet it uses. This kind of bullet is specially made, and its propellant and the front warhead are equipped with magic crystal steam, so the range is extremely terrifying, and it also carries blasting damage when hitting the target. Of course, this thing is not useful for other guilds except the Holy Lance League. After all, the Musketeer is a specialty occupation in the United States.

The second special weapon is a bit like a rocket launcher. This design idea is derived from the magic crystal steam rocket made by the Japanese, but we made it different from the small rocket made by their soil workshop. The rocket fired by this thing is very large, the arm of someone looking at the mountain is as thick, and the length is up to one meter two. Of course, the formidable power will naturally increase a lot when the volume is large. This kind of rocket is more advanced than the Japanese small rocket in that it can set the launch distance, so it will explode without hitting the target, and there are two types of this rocket, one is the direct blasting type, used to deal with fixed Target. The other type is equipped with a lot of small ammunition inside, and when it explodes, the sub-munition will be launched out, which can form a large area of ​​destruction and is specially used to deal with dense crowds.

In addition to the above two special weapons, there is also a super weapon. This thing does not use magic crystal steam as an explosive, but converts it into energy for use. Since the magic crystal steam reacts faster than the magic crystal, it can release energy explosively, and our guild designers used this feature to make a magic cannon. This cannon does not look like a cannon at all. On the contrary, it resembles a searchlight on a lighthouse. Its front is a circular metal plate with a magic array engraved on it, and behind it is an energy extractor. When the magic crystal steam is detonated, its energy will stimulate the magic array on the front metal plate to start, so as to achieve the effect of instant magic. Of course, which type of spell is fired depends on which type of magic array is used, so you can change the type of spell as long as you change the magic array. If the combination is good, this weapon might be more powerful than the magic crystal steam bazooka.

These are just temporarily assembled magic crystal steam weapons, and some more in-depth weapon designs are still on paper, but because of production problems, we can’t see samples for the time being, so I and the gun God decided to get the purple clay first.

Ten minutes later, when we arrived at Isengard and sent away the leaders of the other guilds, Woma finally brought our guide.

"What's going on?" Looking at the large group of people behind Woma, my brows instantly frowned into a word "Chuan".

"It's like this." A youngster who looked a little handsome behind Woma suddenly stood up and explained: "I sold the purple clay that you bought in the guild last time. But I didn’t go alone at the time, and this is my team."

Looking at that guy’s triumphant appearance, I endured my temper and said in a balanced tone as much as possible: "Sorry, maybe Woma I didn’t explain it clearly to you. We just need a guide, not to take you to the task, so we only need one person instead of a team."

I thought the other party would immediately Choose a person to be our guide, who knows that that guy actually said in a tone more arrogant than me: "Sorry, I don’t think you have figured out what I mean. We are a team, or you hire all of us, Either don’t hire one."
