Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

‘No space for locusts to survive’

‘If you find locusts, report them as soon as possible’

'Protect your home and prevent monsters from taking a step'

Slogans like this not only appeared in the frontline bases of the Nirvana Army's eastward advance, but also appeared in newspapers. In the city, when a red banner was pulled, it gave a sense of déjà vu.

After more than ten days of propaganda, everyone has learned these slogans by heart. Now, the Nirvana Army is advancing at a slower pace. They have to dig up the ground under their feet to prevent locust eggs underneath.

Rhett thought about using chemical methods to kill locusts on a large scale, but according to Conrad's experimental data, the amount of medicine required to kill a locust of this size is enough to kill a person.

The use of chemical pesticides to control pests can be said to kill a thousand enemies and cause eight hundred losses to oneself.

Of course, large numbers of locusts have advantages and disadvantages. On Earth, ordinary guns and guns have little effect on locust swarms, just like cannons against mosquitoes. But here, guns and guns can effectively deal with this swarm of locusts.

For a period of time, reconnaissance airships in the air can often see hatched locusts flying straight to the north, as if they were preset.

Only when locusts see people will they give up flying north and turn around to pounce on the people they see with their naked eyes.

In this regard, Rhett guessed that these locusts should be arranged by cultists. After all, their ability to control monsters is well known.

Knowing that when he saw the locusts, he would also attack the Wan Demon Pillar that was still running.

In order to minimize personnel losses, the Nirvana Army generally began to use small airships for reconnaissance. After discovering the Ten Thousand Demons Tower, they determined the coordinates, and then carried out fire coverage. If possible, they would not make contact without contact. There were two 110-meter-high Ten Thousand Demons Towers. Destroyed in this way, the price of doing so was that the ammunition stocks were almost exhausted.

But just two days ago, all military factories were officially powered on. Rhett immediately formulated a three-shift working model so that the military factories can produce ammunition 2 hours a day. The expansion plan of the military factories was also officially issued. I believe that by then Next year, the production efficiency of ammunition will increase more than ten times.

Five days ago, the Nirvana Army airship detected a new Ten Thousand Demons Tower, which was initially estimated to be 5 meters long. Just as the Nirvana Army was preparing to launch fire coverage again, the people on the reconnaissance airship saw overwhelming locusts heading towards the Ten Thousand Demons Tower. Go and watch a good show with the mentality of sitting on a mountain and watching a tiger fight.

The black lightning at the top of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower will attack every few minutes, and then batches of locusts will be roasted into ashes. The owner of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower also mobilizes his magical beasts to fight. Unfortunately, there are too many locusts. Many monsters have become nutritional supplies for the opponent.

One day later, the Ten Thousand Demons Tower took the initiative to shrink its shield, so that the locusts were only about 10 meters away from the tower. Half a day later, the locusts had completely covered the Ten Thousand Demons Tower, and the shield was under attack from every direction.

Black lightning, the attack of the cultist himself, and the goblin's armor-piercing bow and arrow, all three are unable to clear away the locusts surrounding the surface of the shield, because no matter how many die, new locusts will fill the gaps of the dead locusts. Location.

The attack of the locust is not a magic attack, it is just a bite. Logically speaking, no matter how much it is, it cannot break any magic shield. Even the power of Warcraft and arthropods is not that great. If you want to tear it open with brute force, The shield is simply whimsical.

Conrad's chemistry department was also very interested in this. They specially caught a live locust, locked it in an iron cage, and sent people to monitor it 24 hours a day to see how it could break open the iron cage.

Unfortunately, it died after 2 days, and the cage only had some scratches.

From this point of view, locusts do not seem to have any offensive power, and they only rely on their numbers to win. Not to mention those great magicians and great knights, even if they just take a bunker for the Nirvana Army soldiers to live in, these locusts cannot break it. Defend.

But according to Miriam's account, when the locusts are raging, even the great magician has to retreat three feet, and it is impossible for one person to fight them alone.

Rhett thought about the locusts on the earth. They can even be eaten when acting alone, but when in groups, they produce toxins that make their natural enemies stay away.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. Will the locusts in Emera also have this property?

Rhett told Conrad his idea. Unfortunately, the laboratory could not feed a large number of locusts. They finally found a large place, but they could only fit 25 locusts in. The cages that trapped them were replaced with steel ones. Glass.

On the first day, the locusts still used their claws and mouths to bite, but it had no effect. Just when Conrad thought the experiment could only end like this, an accident happened.

The next day, one of the apparently very large locusts attacked a locust. The big locust pushed it near the tempered glass and then killed it. The green blood of the locust also splashed on the glass.

The big locust opened its bloody mouth and bit into the bloody area. The saliva actually reacted with the blood, producing a blue luminous liquid. This liquid actually quickly melted the tempered glass, and then the remaining 23 locusts almost Flying towards the gap in an instant.

The surveillance researchers quickly sounded the alarm after discovering it, and armed personnel quickly took position. The two B-1 machine guns on the sentry tower roared and tore the locusts trying to escape into pieces.

Rhett was also curious about such a miraculous synthetic liquid and wanted to study it, but soon found that it could not be studied at all. All the known materials in the Chemistry Department would be dissolved and the liquid could not be contained.

Rhett made all the non-radioactive solids on the chemical periodic table into a container, trying to see what materials could withstand it, but they all ended in failure.

Only hafnium can barely survive 5 minutes without being completely dissolved.

This phenomenon is obviously unscientific. Since it is an unscientific thing, you can only find unscientific people. Since Miriam and Sharon were sent by Rhett to steal (cross out) the maze crystal and borrow it, I can only call the newspaper editor Aurora.

As expected, when the locust saliva and blood merged, it turned into a magic liquid. At that time, they did not know whether the black magic shield could extract magic power from this magic liquid to replenish itself.

Soon, the answer was revealed.

On the third day after the locusts attacked the Ten Thousand Demons Tower, the shield on the surface of the Ten Thousand Demons Tower began to flicker irregularly, which was a sign that it was about to fail.

Ping bang!

The shield was broken, and countless locusts ate the monsters and cultists as delicious food. After a hearty meal, they left with satisfaction and flew to the north.

At the same time, a group of locusts flew to the south from the north. From a distance, it seemed that there was a big locust leading the way, but if you look closely, you will find that it is a flying dragon, and it is covered in bruises and covered with green blood.

Then another locust swooped up from the side, and its "sharp" teeth easily bit off one of the flying dragon's wings, causing the knight above to fall heavily to the ground.
