Chapter 238 237. The Big Bird Group has added another strong general!

When Brother Zhongzhong heard what Master Murphy said, his heart suddenly began to beat with excitement.

He felt that he might have triggered the legendary "hidden mission", but this mission did not appear immediately. On the contrary, like a real NPC, Murphy first chatted with Brother Zhong about "history".

He looked at the gray-black gunpowder powder that had been processed twice by Brother Zhongzhong, stretched out his fingers, twisted some and rubbed it in his hands.

The unique smell of gunpowder made him twitch his nose.

"I just heard your doubts outside, about the stagnation of dwarves and halflings in the art of gunpowder. Your judgment is wrong, my warrior. They have not given up on this kind of war art.

The research is just because you are from another world and are not familiar with the history here."

Murphy shook his head and said to the wide-eyed loyal brother:

"Not only did the halflings not stop researching gunpowder, on the contrary, they came up with upgraded and excellent products soon after the emergence of dwarf firearms.

According to my superficial knowledge of history, I can tell you with certainty that during the large-scale prospecting operation conducted by the dwarves on the outskirts of the Dark Mountains in 430 AD, their prospectors unexpectedly found some magical minerals.

It was the appearance of those minerals that completely changed the history of halflings and dwarves on this continent.

That thing is called ‘burning gold’.

Have you heard of this name?"

"Uh huh huh!"

Brother Zhongzhong nodded vigorously and said:

"This thing appears as often as the word 'loyalty' appears in Lord Maxim's mouth in Madam Tris's alchemy class."

"Well, you can't let Maxim hear this. It will do great harm to the hearts of loyal people."

Murphy was amused. He waved his hands and said:

"In short, burning gold is a very magical substance, and it has various wonderful properties.

If you have dismantled a Witch Hunter's automatic hunting crossbow, you will easily find that the reason why that compact steam furnace can provide such surging power is precisely because its combustion furnace contains a gold-burning catalyst.

Just a metal rod the size of a fingernail can give steam extraordinary power in its wonderful movement.

I'm not an expert in this area, so I can't explain to you exactly how this thing works.

But the fact is, I heard Miriam say that one of her steam engineering teachers once concluded in class that most of the technological development of halflings is based on the research and use of burning gold.

The best thing about this thing is that it can also be used to make gunpowder.

Have you ever seen those special ammunition used by witch hunters?

A trace amount of burning gold powder was added to those projectiles. It only takes a little bit to turn ordinary black powder into something magical.

Even a vampire like me would feel quite painful being hit by a bullet like that.

We all thought this was normal before, but after hearing your wonderful analysis just now, I suddenly realized that maybe what is normal in our eyes is the biggest abnormality in the eyes of you people from other worlds."

Murphy paused and gave Brother Zhongzhong a little time to think.

Then he asked:

"So, in your world, there is no nearly omnipotent mineral like 'burning gold', right?"

"of course not."

Brother Zhongzhong said that this NPC is really smart, and when talking to him, it really feels like chatting with people from another world. This game is really unparalleled in terms of immersion and sense of substitution.

He replied:

"Our technology follows the principle of the technology tree. Only when one technology is illuminated can it promote the progress of other technologies. There is no magical substance that can be used in various industries. From what you say, burning gold is

It can be used as a combustion accelerant or as a catalyst to accelerate the kinetic energy of steam.

This is indeed incredible.

But your statement also explains my doubts. If it only takes a little igniting gold powder to make black gunpowder burst out several times the destructive power, then there is really no need for halflings and dwarves to continue to study in depth on the basic level of black gunpowder.

Light up the technology tree that they don't need at all.

Ah, it seems I still don’t know enough about this magical world.”

"Well, that's true, but I have a task for you!"

Murphy patted Brother Zhongzhong on the shoulder and said:

"I would like to ask you to make some weapons for us according to your side's method. I mean, follow your side's technology tree to design new weapons. Transia needs new weapons."

"Um?"

Brother Zhongzhong asked in confusion:

"But you already have such a wonderful substance as burning gold, why do you still need it?"

"Because Transia does not produce burning gold! My warrior, at least in my memory, our land has not been loved by Mother Earth."

Murphy said in a deep voice:

"Although those minerals are magical, they are all in the hands of the dwarves.

Only the priests of Gaia have wonderful ways to discover the associated burning gold ores hidden in minerals, and how to process these ores to make them into substances that can actually be used is a secret that is not passed down by the dwarves and halflings.

Most importantly, they regard it as a technological monopoly and do not intend to share the secret of burning gold with other races.

The firearms used in the military reform of the Plantagenet Kingdom are all based on the most common black powder. I heard that King Louis is also looking for burning gold ore in the country and the Ring Tower under his command has already researched some clues.

And we.

Transia does not have that many resources for us to waste, my warrior.

How can such important power as weapons rely on the mercy of halflings and dwarves? We had no choice before. All technology was in the hands of halflings, and we couldn't steal it.

But now, you have appeared!"

The vampire lord's eyes were shining with light, and he said to Brother Zhongzhong:

"You have brought us the art of war and steel from another world. Do you know what this means? We no longer have to rely on the technical support of halflings and dwarves. We will also have an independent and rich military manufacturing industry.

.

Yes, the new standard!

It does not rely on the power brought by the mysterious burning gold, but is built step by step. In your words, light up those wonderful technology trees! Well, this is really a vivid way of saying it, which fully proves the wisdom of my warriors.

Super potential in this area.

Just go ahead and do it.

I absolutely support your attempts in this regard."

"Ding!"

The wonderful mission triggering sound made Brother Zhongzhong's heart surge, and he lowered his head and glanced "

[Hidden mission·‘Alien Fire’ has been triggered!

Mission content: Mr. Murphy was attracted by your strange talk. He realized that he already had a second option in his hands, and the strength of Transia may depend on this long-term relationship between you and Mr. Murphy.

talk.

In short, the vampire lord has made up his mind not to let his territory be controlled by others, and he began to boldly try to use the power of steel and gunpowder from the other world.

Of course, both he and you know that this is destined to be a long and arduous process.

Mission goal: Make an ‘alien, modern’ style firearm for Lord Murphy within 20 days. The quality must not be lower than the standard, and it must be able to fire normally.

Task reward: Independent manufacturing workshop X1, initial research start-up capital of 5,000 gold coins.

Tip from the development team!

This task may touch the taboos of some countries and regions, so testers are requested to complete all production activities in the game!】

"5,000 gold coins? Damn it!"

Brother Loyalty was immediately a little overwhelmed by the reward of this task, and he realized that he might have inadvertently triggered the special gameplay of the manufacturing players in the next stage.

That is to build your own factory and workshop!

This means that as long as they are managed properly, manufacturing players are likely to become the richest players in the game.

Perhaps this is also a compensation for manufacturing players?

After all, except for rare players like Mrs. Shui who are extremely talented and have master specialties, most manufacturing players are unable to take into account both manufacturing and combat. This game is really unruly in this aspect!

"I will not disappoint you! Mr. Murphy."

Brother Zhongzhong immediately nodded and accepted the task. Murphy smiled, waved his hand and said:

"Just do your best, I look forward to the finished product you come up with."

After saying that, he turned around and spread his wings, and disappeared in front of Brother Zhongzhong before the sun completely filled the earth. The little player rubbed his hands with excitement and thought in his heart:

"It is said on the forum that the development team gives special treatment to players with skills. It seems that this is not bragging. It is very good and great. So the first task is to rub a classic big toy. Huh, Lao Li? Shui Lianzhu?

Or 98K? 56 punch? How about a Colt?

never mind!
