Mechanical Alchemist

Chapter 98 Spider Bomb

After the large army of the Crusaders arrived, the fire on both sides escalated immediately.

In this old Lington, where firearms are cheaper than drinking water, the gang rush has literally fought a local war.

Both sides have invested a lot of personnel and equipment, and surrounded the "Green Street position" to compete with each other, you come and I go.

In the following battles, Kai was not involved because of his injuries, while Su Lun was still active on the battlefield.

He didn't go to dangerous places, but he was often found in places with many corpses.

But Su Lun did not perform too prominently on the battlefield, just like the ordinary gang members, they should fight and run. Because of his super-perceptual ability, he can always predict some dangers in advance, but it is also near misses.

Fighting is actually a waste of money.

The conflict between the two big gangs intensified. Not only did the gold owners behind them suffer heavy losses, but more and more major forces were involved. In the game between high-level surnames, most of them are acquaintances. The more involved, the greater the resistance. In the end, I heard that the major families in the inner city came out to jointly mediate, and this stopped.

The conflict lasted for three days and three nights, with more than 10,000 casualties, and the entire Green Street was in ruins.

The vitality of the two major gangs was greatly damaged.

Later, Su Lun also heard about the cause of this inexplicable gang battle, and it really was that Young Master Martin was ambushed and killed. Among the hands-on people, there is a guy who has awakened the talent of [Red Devil].

Coincidentally, the "Red Devil" Goron of the Cross Society was also besieged and killed on the battlefield.

Dead without proof.

There is also the "Mad Dog" Hogg of the Steam Party, the cadre who accompanied Martin to negotiate before. He was killed in front of everyone's eyes.

As for the truth, ordinary gang members are not qualified to know.

Su Lun also felt that it was not important.

He even felt that when the "Red Devil" Goron was sent to the outer city for a gladiatorial fight, the foreshadowing of this battle may have been laid.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that Su Lun gained a lot of mechanical knowledge in this war, which made him directly change from [Mechanical Introduction (Advanced)] to [Mechanical General Knowledge (Medium)].

The loot he harvested was also enough for him to squander for a long time.

(Mechanical level notes: entry, general knowledge, master, grandmaster;)

Green Street was beaten into ruins, and according to the mediation contract, it has temporarily become a neutral site.

No one dared to come to spend, and all kinds of taverns, gambling stalls, and gold owners behind the scenes of Fengyuechang also withdrew. It was unprofitable, and no one from the two major gangs took these rotten neighborhoods seriously.

But as the original "carrying handle" Kay of Green Street, it seems a bit lonely.

He, the captain, has no land and no manpower.

This time, except for him and Su Lun, everyone on Green Street was wiped out.

I have to say that the elimination rate of the bottom gang is really high.

If Su Lun had joined the Crusaders, he didn't want to be an advanced professional, but went to the tavern Fengyuechang with his salary every day, it is estimated that he was the cannon fodder in a certain fire.

After this battle, there were many legends circulating in the underworld of the outer city.

A group of rookies have been raised, and a group of old people have been buried.

One of them became more and more mysterious. Hawthorne, the "Scissorhands" of the Steam Party, personally admitted that there was a top gunman with a mysterious origin in the Cross Society. It was a veteran firearms expert who knew how to [Aoyi · Stacked Shooting], and he killed at least two reorganized squads, as well as two veteran captains "Iron Lung" Durand and "Anchorman" Parker.

But the rumors have been circulating for a long time, and even the inside of the Cross Society does not know who it is.

If Kay didn't say it, no one knew who it was.

After all, everyone on Green Street had already been wiped out, and very few people in the entire Cross Society knew Su Lun.

It stands to reason that Su Lun killed and killed so many enemies this time, and the reward for the battle is estimated to be in the millions.

He didn't intend to be in the limelight. After all, this conflict has taught enough lessons. It's not good to be too famous, and Kai almost died in his reputation.

But he couldn't bear the bounty. Fortunately, the big boss Qianjo knew that Su Lun's marksmanship was good, so he quietly came to ask about the situation, and then sent a considerable bounty.

Su Lun's life has returned to normal, but because of the absence of the Green Street casino, even the seven o'clock patrol every night is gone.

The whole day is free to arrange leisure time.

He lives in the rented basement every day, training his physical fitness, fiddling with mechanical equipment, and making dolls.

As for the struggle of the Crusaders, his small gang didn't care either.

The only bad news is that without a nearby arena, the soul can be stripped. If you want to go to a gladiatorial match in another neighborhood, you have to run a long way. I heard that the sponsor behind the Cross Society is preparing a "New Green Street", but it will take a little time.

The knowledge gained from this battle is enough for Su Lun to digest for a long time, and he is not in a hurry to find a new arena.

After a flash, it was another half a month, and the situation completely subsided.

Today, in the basement.

Su Lun is wearing a stained overalls, immersed in a new thing - "spider bombs."

This was the inspiration he found in his eight-armed spider spear suit.

He wanted to design a mechanical bomb that could crawl on its own, with a displacement device and a delayed detonation device.

This kind of bomb can be applied to all kinds of complex terrain, climbing walls, drilling holes, turning. It can climb to some blind spots that normal bombs cannot reach.

The mechanical spider on the workbench was roughly formed, and Su Lun concentrated on installing several brass fittings the size of melon seeds.

This is the most critical step, requiring him to connect the explosive device to the mechanical timing system.

Su Lun felt that he had been careful enough, but suddenly, white smoke was rising from the mechanical spider on the workbench. He secretly said that it was not good, and then quickly took out the explosion-proof cover and covered it on the workbench.

Looking at this proficiency, it is obviously not the first time an accident has occurred.

"Bang!"

A muffled sound.

The high-power exhaust device on the workbench snorted, sucking out a large amount of smoke from the explosion.

Su Lun lifted the explosion-proof cover, looked helplessly at his failed work, and muttered, "No, there is no problem with the 'H2 quartz timer', and the 'T3 explosion prototype' is fine. Why? Will it trigger an explosion? Could it be a conflict with the wall-climbing device I made, or something else?"

Fortunately, it is only a test item, and the amount of ammunition is not much. In addition to making him a little embarrassed, it can't reach the level of hurting people.

But after this explosion, Su Lun fell into self-reflection and doubt again.

After many failures for unknown reasons, he gradually discovered the root cause of the problem.

Although the ability of [Death Reaper] is strong, he has learned the knowledge of others for several years, or even more than ten years in a few months.

But there is also a very big problem, that is, the acquired knowledge is fragmented.

Without systematic study, he couldn't rule out where his problems were.

It's like this explosion, his "experience" tells him that there is no problem, but when it actually explodes, there must be a problem with his "knowledge blind spot".

All the machines he masters now are just peeled off from the corpses of the Outer City Steam Party. Most of them are the actual combat school of mechanical use, and there is almost no theoretical school of research and development, and the knowledge is very serious. Fighting experience can also be mastered through actual combat practice. If the mechanical theory knowledge is lacking, it will be lacking.

There is a missing part of these "knowledge puzzles", like building a tall building with no holes in it.

Even though his "knowledge" has now reached [Intermediate Mechanical General Knowledge], but with some basic theoretical knowledge, Su Lun is not even as good as an introductory apprentice at the Black Tower Academy in the inner city.

"It's still a big trouble for mechanic knowledge to be fragmented and not organized."

Su Lun frowned as he looked at the failed spider bomb, thinking in his heart, "Looks like, I have to learn mechanical knowledge systematically."

Combat knowledge doesn't matter, after all, practice makes perfect, and you can master it with a lot of practice.

But theoretical knowledge is no longer enough. There are knowledge gaps, and certain things cannot be connected.

Having gone through nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, he is well aware of the importance of systematic learning. He desperately needed a thread to connect the pieces in his brain.

With these thoughts in his mind, Su Lun instantly thought of a person.

The former vice president of the Black Tower College who defected, Nicola J. Emilich!

In terms of systematic knowledge, who would know more than the vice president of the top alchemy academy in old Lingdun?

"That gentleman still owes me a favor."

Thinking of this, Su Lun was no longer in the mood to continue fiddling with spider bombs anyway, so instead of dawdling in the basement, he rode his motorcycle to the black market of Shadow Alley.

He wanted to leave a message on "Rosen's Alchemy Shop" to use that favor.

Although he had only seen that Mr. Amy Ritchie once, Su Lun trusted his instincts.

The man had no ill will towards him.

The point is, a person being hunted down by an umbrella organization makes people feel more secure.

If it was just for some systematic elementary alchemy knowledge, Su Lun felt that there was no need to use up this favor.

Looking for other channel merchants in the black market, although it is more troublesome, but you can get it. For example, the textbook of the Black Tower Academy, or the apprentice manual of the Alchemy Guild.

Su Lun chose to contact that gentleman in order to maximize the value of this favor.

Because he knew that in addition to being a top-level professional who was suspected to be stronger than the president of the Cross Society, Amy Richie also had a deep relationship with the organizer of the black market.

The background of the black market is very mysterious, and the organizer is said to be the real boss who makes the "Umbrella Organization" helpless.

Although Su Lun needs more intelligence to understand the world.

This mysterious alchemy world is like a veiled and stunning beauty. The mystery and weirdness endow her with infinite charm and arouse people's desire to explore. He has already lifted a corner of the veil, and can't wait to get a glimpse of the truth.

The pattern of the gang, after all, is too small.

He could see that the previous gangs were hot, and in front of the chaebols in the inner city, no matter how fierce the gang was, they were still beasts trapped in cages.

Su Lun traveled through this fantasy world and wanted to see the scenery on the top floor.

Another consideration is that he wants to know the path of his future advanced second-order professional.
