Law of the Swarm

Chapter 378 Slime Bomb

The episode from the male birdman passed quickly.

Although he didn't ask for any useful information, System didn't let the birdman send any news back to the heavens.

If this is the demigod Ode's move against him, then birdmen like this will definitely be sent over in the future. At that time, System will definitely ask the Golden Banana Warden to turn the birdmen into stone sculptures first, and then Take your time with the interrogation.

……

And System also started planning for the future.

If there is no Will of Winter and Will of the North Wind, System may be more conservative. When the gods are revived and the saints come, he will control the floating island to return to the abyss, and use the network to remotely control the main plane in the abyss. Watch the world change.

But it's completely different now.

The will of winter and the will of the north wind can get two opportunities to be promoted to gods in the future, and even if he finds a way to split the wind and wither energy mixed with the will of the north wind, he can get three opportunities to be promoted to gods.

Because of the limited fusion speed, System gave the newly acquired Will of the North Wind to the ant queen Linda.

Anyway, apart from laying eggs and eating food, the queen ant has nothing else to do, so she can fuse the will of the north wind anytime and anywhere.

As for the demigod Odd, although System valued it, he was not very afraid of it. After all, the more powerful beings descended across the plane, the more oppressive they would be.

If Odd is not a brainless fool, and he has not found out the details of the krypton gold god Mana, or if he becomes a real god, it is almost impossible to descend to the main plane in person.

System speculates that there should be a relatively protracted war between him and Ord, and a year and a half later, when the celestial creatures can be teleported on a large scale, it will be his first battle with Ord.

System decided to use the mana spar harvested from Aura to let the excavator build some mana attack weapons of the same type as the floating island in the Golden Banana City.

And let the dwarf master Rune study the principle of this magic circle to see if he can improve this magic attack weapon.

The attack weapon of the floating island covers an area of ​​thousands of square meters, and is more than ten meters high into a tower shape. Not only does it consume a lot of mana crystals, but it is also very laborious to build.

Generally speaking, this kind of tower weapon can emit a thick laser with a diameter of nearly ten meters, with a range of hundreds of kilometers, but the attack interval is extremely large, and it feels like hitting a mosquito with a cannon.

System needs some small weapons, preferably ones that can be fired repeatedly.

In fact, in addition to trying to create some small magic weapons, System has recently been thinking about researching a weird biochemical weapon—the slime bomb.

Presumably by giving his slime friends a liquid explosive called nitroglycerin, and charging at the enemy.

However, for more than a month, System has been on the floating island and does not have enough materials, so no specific experiments can be carried out.

After all, although the possibility of mass production of nitroglycerin has been obtained, it was only successfully developed 20 days ago.

……

In this world, there is a method of mixing black powder, and there used to be dwarf muskets and dwarf artillery.

Due to the fall of the gods, the knowledge imparted by the gods was suddenly interrupted, coupled with the war that lasted for thousands of years, many skills in this world have also regressed, and now, the dwarves who can make guns no longer exist.

However, Kanbal, a master alchemist far away in the Kingdom of Coslin, combined the research results of his predecessors for thousands of years, coupled with the impact brought by the [data template], and achieved a rapid development in the field of alchemy.

Kanbal used nitric acid and sulfuric acid plus a special grease to produce a strange liquid that would explode when shaken, and there was no magic energy in this liquid.

This liquid is the nitroglycerin that only appeared in the modern times in System's previous life.

There are many similar posts. As expected, System also found the manufacturing method of nitrocellulose, the most basic raw material of smokeless gunpowder...

Although it has been expected that the Ability Mall will have an opening-like effect, it is still beyond System's imagination to have such a strong academic promotion effect.

However, after seeing thousands of knowledge videos with almost zero prices in the alchemy knowledge section of the Ability Mall, System understood something——

Not everyone is as selfish as he imagined, every world has such a group of selfless and great beings, they are simply working hard for the development of science.

The stronger the existence, the more they care about themselves, but the weaker the existence, the easier it is for them to dedicate themselves. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the spread of knowledge in this world will stagnate.

After watching these ability videos and experiencing the understanding of the knowledge of those film owners, System found that some chemical knowledge that he didn't know very well had suddenly become clear.

System gradually learned that at the beginning, Kanbal was just looking for new organic substances to replace a precious oil, so as to achieve the purpose of mass-producing psychotropic drugs, so that more people could use [data template] for a long time.

Later, by chance, Kanbal discovered this explosive liquid, which aroused his interest.

Through careful research, Kanbal successfully wrote the alchemy formulas of nitric acid, sulfuric acid, and glycerin, and released this knowledge video through the ability mall with almost zero krypton gold points.

Undoubtedly, this new type of alchemy liquid, which has no magic substance but can cause explosions, has attracted the interest of many alchemists. Many alchemists with not-so-poor IQs have learned this technique.

And not only alchemists, due to the powerful effect of [data template], some ordinary people who have learned the ability of [mental concentration] also become alchemists by themselves through these ability videos.

Based on the playback records of statistical ability videos, System conservatively estimated that the number of people who have mastered the technology of nitroglycerin alone has exceeded [-], and the number of people who have mastered the basic alchemy theory has exceeded [-].

Before the Ability Mall appeared, there were less than 20 alchemists and trainee alchemists under System.

The nitrocellulose necessary for smokeless gunpowder was also discovered by an ordinary dwarf whom System did not know, and it was posted on the krypton gold forum.

Alchemy, that is, the knowledge of chemistry was quickly spread in the Ability Mall, represented by the dwarf artisan Rune. These craftsmen also released the knowledge of mechanical structure and metallurgy on the Ability Mall at a price close to zero.

It is precisely because of the transfer of this knowledge that the speed of train production has become faster and more efficient recently. In just a few months, the steam engine has been upgraded twice. The original 55 kilometers has become 110 kilometers now.

System also discovered that the dwarf master Luen was drawing blueprints for mechanical lathes. One was driven by mana and was suitable for manufacturing fine parts, and the other was driven by steam and was suitable for mass production of some large parts.

It seems that Luen is trying to mass-produce the manufacturing of mechanical parts, instead of simply using the [data template] to measure the length and polish some parts.

……

It can be said that according to the current development trajectory, it is not impossible to manufacture the automatic firearms of the previous life in the not-too-distant future.

But System also knew that the appearance of so-called firearms in this world might not be a big deal at all.

System didn't intend to guide it either, but this liquid explosive aroused System's interest, and System wanted to see what would happen when the slime absorbed this liquid.

System quickly summoned the snake wizard Rex to start researching the slime bomb...
