Chapter 93 Transactions
Chapter 93 Transaction
After entering the research institute, I found that there are actually only four halls around a yard, and most of the staff, including NPC, are concentrated in the hall on the street! We first entered the hall on the street, most of which are office workers, and behind the hall is a yard, where there are a lot of messy materials. The yard is surrounded by the hall, which is the real research part. Under normal circumstances, ordinary people cannot enter here!
After entering the yard, we first entered the hall opposite, which is the Magic Science Laboratory, and the floating technology was born here. There is almost nothing to understand here, and I looked at it and lost interest. The next target is the hall on the left side of the yard, which specializes in mechanical principles. Unlike the Magic Science Laboratory, the things here generally have no power, mainly transmission devices. However, some things here are very attractive, that is, cannons!
Europe's rear-mounted artillery technology is obviously one level higher than that of Asia. Although we have never fought with European warships, we know the performance data. Without strong gunpowder, European artillery can still maintain the same power and range as Asian artillery. This is a very high achievement, and what I pay more attention to is the cost of European artillery! I don't know why the cannons here are much lower than ours. Basically, the cost of two stamping dragon cannons can be purchased by three German cannons. If they have factories, the price is cheaper!
"Do you sell this technology?" I pointed to the cannon I was interested in.
Ashufude seemed a little embarrassed. I knew that my requirements were a bit too much. The combat readiness resources were different from other things, and they were not enough to make money! After sinking for a minute, Ashufude spoke, "Can you wait for me for ten minutes?"
I thought he was going to reject me, but now it seems there is a way! Nodding quickly! "Of course!"
Asu Fude turned around and ran out, but half an hour passed and he didn't come back. The man who stayed with me kept apologizing to me and said that the president would arrive in a while! Fortunately, there were many good things here, so I would turn slowly if he didn't come back. Anyway, the guy next to him was the person in charge here. He knew everything he asked, and he explained it very thoroughly!
Forty minutes later, Ashufude finally came back. "I'm so sorry! We don't agree with each other, so we've been wasting some time!"
"What's the result?"
"It's OK to sell, but we don't need money!"
"No money? Then what do you want? I have nothing to exchange for you!"
"How could it not be?" Ashufude shook his head and said, "My subordinates just informed me that the warships of your fleet are equipped with very advanced thrusters, and their power is at least five times that of our thrusters. Isn't this technology enough?" I was about to say that the technology was not ours, but Ashufude interrupted me and said, "You need to say nothing, I understand that the thruster technology is more valuable than my artillery technology. Of course I won't let you lose money! Please come with me!"
I followed him to the corner of the hall in confusion. He pressed the wall. A door appeared on the wall, and there was a secret room! This secret room was not too big, about the area of an ordinary classroom. The things in the room were covered with canvas. Ashufude walked over and pulled the canvas down. Two silver-shining things appeared in front of me!
"What's this?"
Ashufude introduced one by one: "This big one is a cannon!"
"I can see it! It's obvious!"
"This is not an ordinary cannon. This is the treasure of our guild. It has an overheaval cannon with a range of up to 100 kilometers! This time I bought gunpowder technology with you. With your gunpowder, its range should reach 120 kilometers. This range is basically 4 to 6 times that of other countries' artillery. We can completely rely on the power of ultra-long-range cannons to deal with them outside the enemy's range! With this thing, the British and French are easy to deal with!"
"But our lookout hand and telescope have a range of sight that is more than 90 kilometers? Even if the weather is good, 100 kilometers is the limit! How should we shoot targets outside of sight? What should we do if we have accuracy? You can't rely on covering shooting, right?"
"Of course! Our method is to use the outpost to observe the fleet! This outpost is not a new invention, it is just a small battleship. We designed to install a large number of thrusters on this kind of ship, and do not install anything except two small-caliber self-defense artillery, so that its speed will be quite terrifying. When shooting, let the outpost to reach between us and the target, observe the enemy's position and notify the team with flag words, and then we can shoot accurately. Anyway, the outpost only observes the shooting effect and does not have to enter the enemy's range. In addition, its body is small and fast, and it is not easy to be hit even if it enters the enemy's range. It is definitely a very good design!"
After talking for a long time, it turned out that the German plan was like a laser-guided artillery shell used by armies of various countries. He sent a contingent reconnaissance vehicle to the enemy and illuminate the target with laser. Then, as long as the long-range cannon fires the shell in the approximate direction, the shells will flew over to chase the laser reflected by the target! Ashufude's technology is simply a variant of the laser-guided technology, but we have to admit that the accuracy of this method is first-class!
"What's next to it?"
"This?" Ashufud pointed to the smaller thing and said, "This thing is a continuous crossbow. We designed it mainly for air defense!"
"Single-firing crossbows?" Doesn't that mean a rapid-firing machine gun? "How is this thing's the rate of fire?"
"The fastest speed is two rounds in three seconds, but it often gets stuck! This thing is still in the research stage and has not been finalized!"
"These two technologies are combined, I'll change them!" The giant wolf, which was airborne by a flying monster during the monster siege last time, almost broke through the defense and entered the spirit gathering tower. If we had a rapid-fire crossbow, we could basically eliminate the invasion of air force. This is a good thing! Although Atlantis sold the propulsion technology to us, he said not to transfer it easily, but he didn't say not to transfer it! It shouldn't be easy for me to exchange this technology for two technologies, right?
"Trade!" Ashufude answered this time. He probably considered that when he brought me in, he thought that I would ask for it together.
Let Rose go back to the boat to get the technical scroll, and Ashufude and I shook hands again. The two-way business was very good. Although they were exchanged for technology, they felt different from spending money to buy. They always felt very happy, so I was in a good mood. "If you have any use in the future, even if you talk to me, our Frost Rose Alliance is willing to become an ally of the Iron Crusader!"
I thought Ah Xiu Fude would be polite to me, but he suddenly said, "Really? I really need your help!"
Dizzy! Forgot about the differences in culture between the East and the West! What Chinese people say next time to help is usually a kind of polite word, which is a language on the scene, and can be understood as a diplomatic rhetoric without any effect. However, the cultures between the West and the East are very different. Ashufude thought I really wanted to help, and he actually needed help! There was no way, and he said it, so it was hard to repent immediately!
"What's the matter? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help!" You should get a good vaccination first, and it's easy to explain if it doesn't work!
Asuke may not be very sure: "Actually, it's enough to try it. It's nothing to do if you can complete it!"
"What the hell is it?" It looks very tricky, and saying that Ashufude means he doesn't even think I can complete this job!
"We received a very important guild task, which required us to collect 30 purple-leaf clovers! Whether we pick them yourself, grab them from others, buy them, or just plant them yourself, no matter how, as long as we can get 30 plants, we can complete the task!"
"There isn't the number of this grass that is so rare that there are not enough 30 plants in total, right?"
“The number is huge!”
"That's it's very scattered and difficult to collect?"
“The purple leaf clovers all over the country grow in the same place!”
"Oh! I understand, the terrain of that place is strange and cannot be accessed!"
"That place is a flat plateau like a mirror. There are two wide avenues to go up. Not to mention people, even carriages can be driven in!"
"Why can't you get it if the environment is so good?" I suddenly remembered: "It's not that there are very troublesome monsters guarding nearby, right?"
"You are right!" Asu Fude nodded helplessly, and then sighed: "First we posted an acquisition notice, but no one could do it! Later, we decided to go and pick it up ourselves. At the beginning, we sent a team of 7 people in, but...!"
"What's wrong?"
"I'm hanging all back!"
"Then send someone!"
"Later, another ten-man team was sent, and the result was...!"
"I'm done again?" I asked tentatively.
He nodded! "In the end, we decided to take a gamble and mobilize players above the average level of the entire guild to go together! More than 7,000 people went up together, and within 3 minutes, they walked 200 meters! Then..."
"Are you killed again?" Seeing Ashufude nodding again, I doubted, "Are you kidding? Seven thousand people were cleared in 3 minutes, and no one rushed out more than 200 meters? What monster is so powerful? Isn't it a gathering place for the dragon clans above?"
I remember that there is no monster that is so powerful. If there is one, it is a dragon! But a dragon cannot kill 7,000 people in a blink of an eye! Unless it is a dragon clan gathering place like Dragon Island, if it is that kind of place, let alone 7,000 people, even 70,000 people will not last for three minutes!
Looking at Ashufude waiting for his answer. "It is indeed a gathering place, but not a dragon! It is another thing, something we don't know how to describe it! The number is quite large, and we see about tens of thousands!"
"No wonder! You are only seven thousand people, and they have tens of thousands. If the level difference is not large, 3 minutes is good! But it is still wrong! They have a numerical advantage and can indeed deal with you in 3 minutes, but how did they attack so many of you piled up together? It is unlikely that they will attack seven thousand people at the same time, right?"
"This is the key! These things can fly and are very fast, so we are finished without any time to react!"
"Don't you have a fireball? Can't you push that thing up?"
"The restrictions on continuous fire crossbows and artillery are the same!"
"I understand!" The limitation of artillery is that it is limited to use in cities and warships. Although cannons can be removed and transported away, there is no way to use cannons that leave warships or cities. There is only one possibility of using cannons in the wild, that is, siege battles, but there is still a limit, that is, you cannot leave the target city too far! Since the continuous fire crossbow cannons are the same as other cannons, it cannot be transported away!
"Since you want me to help, let me know as much as possible. I need to know the data of these things, the more detailed the better! By the way, do you know what weaknesses they have? And how do they attack? Physical attacks or magic?"
"Come with me, I'll tell you slowly!" Ashufude took me to the hall on the right side of the yard. At first I was curious about what the last hall was for, but after I came in, I was startled! This is a specimen room! There are a large number of biological specimens in the hall, which are simply strange! Ashufude took me through the specimens in front to the back part. It's strange here, there are some equipment! He took me to the front of a set of full-body armor, which was combined and stood like a person. "Look carefully!"
I looked at the armor carefully and studied it for a while. The armor was very ordinary and had no characteristics. I walked around it for a few times. The only strange thing was that there were 4 holes in the armor! There was a triangular hole as thick as an arm on the abdomen of the armor, and a same hole was also penetrated from the corresponding place behind it. There was a much smaller circular hole on the top of this hole, located at the heart of the human body. There was a small hole that was about the same size behind the helmet of the armor!
No matter what, these four holes must have killed the owner of the armor at that time. Ashufude left the armor to make it easier to tell other people about the characteristics of this kind of damage. "Is this what kind of thing done?"
Ashufude nodded: "Did you see anything?"
"The two holes on the abdomen of the armor are very big and there is no obvious sign of curling. If you guessed correctly, these two holes were caused by something very sharp through the user's body from the front, and this thing was very fast at that time! As for the small holes in the heart and the back of the brain, there seemed to be a special reason. It was probably left by this monster when he sucked blood and brain matter!"
Papa! Applause came from behind. Ashu Fude said: "You have strong analytical skills!"
"This is nothing!" I just saw trauma dissections in Longyuan Base many times, so I know the causes of trauma! You should know that ballistic trauma is also Longyuan's strength!
Ashufude pointed to the hole on the abdomen of the armor and said, "This armor is actually a set of backup equipment from me. I originally planned to sell it after finishing that mission. Because I wanted to stay for others to study, I have not repaired it. I have saved it for research! The monster is called 'Rapter', and there is a pyramid more than two meters long on its head. When the monster flies, this pyramid is just in front of the monster!"
"Will that become the Knight's spear?"
"Yes! That's why it's called a spear! That day it dived from me from the front. With the help of the dive power, its speed was quite amazing. It almost flashed and it came to me! I didn't have time to react and my abdomen was penetrated!"
"It's not a one-hit kill, is it?"
"No! I wasn't dead at that time, but I heard the system prompt that I was severely injured and my body was inactive! In fact, it was a paralysis effect, but I don't know how long the time effect was! After I was penetrated by it, it began to climb and took me to the sky. Although I only lost one-third of my life at that time, two transparent tentacles stretched out from the monster's head. The first tentacle was inserted into my heart, and then I saw red blood flowing from the transparent tube to the monster, and the other tube did not move until the last bit of my life was left, and the other tube suddenly walked behind my head. I just felt a pain in the back of my head and hung up. It was probably because it started to suck brain matter!"
"It seems that the attack method is quite average, it just depends on speed! As long as you can do that attack, it will be fine!"
"It's not as simple as you think! I suggest you don't mutter them!"
"I see!"
"By the way, the data obtained from the killed people were summed up and obtained the detailed data of the spear. The spear is a level 800 creature. Its defense is relatively normal for creatures of this level, but its health is low. The speed is not clear, but one thing is certain, its speed is more than any creature I have seen! The attack power should be said to be relatively weak. In theory, level 800 creatures can easily kill us, but the spear cannot do this. Of course, it may also be that it deliberately does not kill us in order to suck blood and brain. This is not necessarily true. In short, be careful! Finally, it should be noted that this thing is in groups, patrolling dozens of people in groups, and once it is discovered, a large group will be attracted immediately!"
"It feels like a bee! It's a bit tricky! Fortunately, your mission is to have purple leaf clover instead of spears. If you sneak in secret, it should be fine!"
"Don't even think about it!" Ashufude interrupted me and said, "The spear does not have any organ that looks like an eye, at least we have never seen it before. In other words, it is simply blind. The invisible skills of assassins and thieves are meaningless to it. Anyway, it cannot see anything! The spear must have other ways to find the target, which is likely to be bat-like ultrasound, or use rattlesnake-like thermal imaging technology! In short, invisibility is useless to it, otherwise we would have got the purple-leaf clover long ago!"
"It's really a troublesome creature!"
Ashufude looked at the sky outside. "It is recommended that you wait until it is completely dawn before going! These things do not require light at all, and the night is more beneficial to them!"
I pointed to my eyes. "I am a night visionist!"
"But my people are not!" Ashufude said: "How many people do you need? I'll gather now!"
"A person who leads the way can just send me to the next to the plateau! In addition, do you have pictures of purple-leaf clover? At least you have to let me know what it looks like! Although I also have an appraisal technique, I can't appraise one by one, right?"
"We don't have a single plant here, so there's nothing to do about it! But it's easy to recognize. That thing has only three leaves, and it's purple. It doesn't grow anything except leaves! Also, don't treat it as an ordinary plant. It doesn't look like a plant, but it looks like a crystal stone! Don't worry, the thing grows very special, you'll know it at a glance!"
"If it's really as special as you said, then there's no problem! Please let someone take me there now! I've also got a mission to come to Germany this time, so I can't waste too much time!"
"Okay! If you can complete the task, I will buy those purple-leaf clovers from you according to the conditions announced at the beginning!"
Ashufud took me back to the Hall of Constitution, where Rose and they were trading two technical scrolls with the Iron Crusaders. Seeing me back, Rose walked over. "The deal has been completed. Are we going to the Death Mountains to get the Mist Legion now?"
"No, wait first, I'm going to do a mission!"
"How long does it take? We don't have much time!"
Chapter completed!
