Continental Warriors Yoo Ma

After getting up and getting dressed, he went to the study to check the new news brought by the communication circle.

The fleet sold to him by England has already arrived at the port of Harfleur, and it is under the auspices of Garmon to start its transformation.The first batch of elf immigrants also settled down smoothly. They were able to provide hundreds of excellent archers and more than [-] spellcasters to raise their strength to a higher level.

After the Norman nobles who opposed Ma Youfu subsided, preparations for the second civil service examination were also in full swing.Over time, when he has a sufficient number of civil servants to fill various departments, Ma Youfu believes that he will have the most efficient ruling institution in Europe.

However, the news from Rouen is not all good. There are still some matters waiting to be resolved by Ma Youfu.

The biggest problem he faces now is that the production capacity of the Rouen Artillery Workshop is insufficient.

In fact, thanks to the efforts of Vera and dwarf casting master Oli Longbeard, the development speed of the artillery manufacturing industry in Rouen is unprecedented.

But the problem is that the army under Ma Youfu's command now has too much demand for artillery. Even though Rouen is now a firearms production base comparable to the lowlands and Northern Italy, it still cannot produce enough guns within the specified time. artillery.

Leaving aside the Army, just calculating the needs of the Normandy Navy is an extremely astonishing figure.

According to Garmon's calculations, among the ships bought from England, the Royal Seven Saints, with the largest tonnage, can be equipped with fifty guns of various calibers after modification.The second largest tonnage, the Mary Rose, can also be equipped with forty artillery pieces.The other eight Carrack galleons, ranging in tonnage from 240 to [-] tons, required a total of [-] guns.There were another twenty carravels, and another three hundred guns were required.

The use of artillery by the English lags far behind that of France.Even if the Duke of Bedford realized the power of this new weapon because of the appearance of Ma Youfu, he could only invest resources in the army artillery first.

This has also led to the English navy's combat methods, which are still stuck in the stage of shooting with longbows and then jumping to help close combat. Even if these warships are equipped with artillery, they all have problems of backward performance and insufficient numbers.

Chapter 360 IX Urban Tears Cannon

A total of more than 600 cannon gaps could not be produced at all within one or two months after the hull transformation was completed, relying on Rouen's production capacity alone.

The solution given by Ma Youfu is also very simple and rude: throw money.

While Rouen continued to expand its production scale, it placed orders with cannon foundries in Flanders and other places, focusing on both production and purchase.

In addition, not only Rouen, Ma Youfu can also help purchase artillery in Provence.Anyway, it is very close to the northern Italian area where the handicraft industry is developed, and it is easy to buy a large number of high-quality artillery.

In addition, the Wisdom sect believers who now rely on his protection can also be mobilized.There is no shortage of highly skilled blacksmiths among them, and it is more than enough to establish several cannon casting workshops.

After some calculations, Ma Youfu set Rouen the task of producing 250 guns and purchasing [-] guns within two months.

He will be responsible for solving the remaining artillery gap in Provence.

After finishing telecommuting, Ma Youfu left the study and came to the altar he set up in his residence for the goddess of luck, Mirna.

In order to solve the imminent threat of undead pirates, if one's own golden finger-the system store can play a role, it will definitely be a good thing with twice the result with half the effort.However, whether you can buy useful props can only depend on luck.

In order to get useful props while saving points as much as possible, Ma Youfu decided to seek help from Metaphysics.

Every morning, he prays to Myrna, the goddess of fortune.If the system reminds him that he has obtained the BUFF blessed by the goddess, he can visit the system store.

It's just that after praying for so many days, the goddess didn't respond to Ma Youfu.

In order to get the goddess' response, Ma Youfu decided to play a trick.He bought a pink diamond with a lot of money-it is said that this is the favorite gemstone of the goddess of luck, but because of the scarcity of the number, only a few large churches dedicated to Mirna have shrines decorated with pink diamonds.

If this precious gift is presented, the goddess who has benefited will no longer ignore Ma Youfu's request.

Before coming to the altar, Ma Youfu put the pink diamond on the holy table in front of the statue of Mirna, and then began to pray.

After finishing the prayer ceremony, Ma Youfu opened his eyes and found that the pink diamond on the holy table had disappeared.Although he didn't feel any changes, after checking through the system, he found that there was an extra line of text in his status bar: "Mirna's joy. Your luck has increased by 24% within 200 hours."

"Very good!" Many days of persistence paid off, and Ma Youfu clenched his fists excitedly.

The gods in this world are personified existences, so it is not surprising that some small means in human society can also be used to please the gods.

After getting the lucky BUFF, Ma Youfu immediately opened the system store and began to "draw cards".

During this period of time, Ma Youfu has achieved many achievements, and now he has accumulated a lot of points.On that night alone, after a substantial breakthrough in his relationship with Joan of Arc, Ma Youfu achieved the achievement of "Saint's Blood" and gained 500 administrative points and 1000 Diplomatic points, 500 military points.

Now, the three types of points in his hand are all over 1500 points, especially the diplomatic points, which have accumulated a full 1850 points.

Ma Youfu first took out 100 diplomatic points and began to refresh the store props.

After refreshing, after browsing, he found that there was nothing he needed, so he took out 200 diplomatic points to refresh, but still failed.

For the third time, Ma Youfu gritted his teeth, took out 400 points, and invested in this kind of activity that was even more torturous than krypton gold mobile game card drawing.

This time, after the three system props were refreshed, a golden light flashed, giving him hope.

Among the three newly-appeared props, there is a rare prop with a golden special effect.

"The Flawed Philosopher's Stone."

Price: 800 administrative points, 800 diplomatic points, 800 military points.

The Philosopher's Stone, the omnipotent substance in Western mysticism, has magical effects such as turning stones into gold, making elixir of life, and so on.

Ma Youfu has lived in this world for almost two years and has studied many magical theories. He naturally knows what the legendary and mysterious substance like the Philosopher's Stone is.

The essence of this red crystal is actually a natural mass-energy conversion device.

As long as enough magic power is supplied to the Philosopher's Stone, the atomic structure of matter can be broken and new matter can be synthesized.Therefore, base metals such as iron and lead can be synthesized into precious metals such as gold.

If a proper transformation magic circle is set up, the Philosopher's Stone can transform specific substances into a rich liquid life magic power, and then create an elixir of immortality and resurrection.

It can be said that a sage's stone contains infinite possibilities.

It's just that the Philosopher's Stone is extremely rare, and only appeared a few times in reliable historical records.Now if someone claims to have found the Philosopher's Stone and sells it on the magic black market, there is a 99.99% chance that he is a liar.

The Philosopher's Stone sold in the system store has the prefix "flawed".Even so, it is a "Golden Legend" item that sells for up to 2400 points.

This Philosopher's Stone has lost many of its original functions, and can only store, transform, and release energy.And there is only one use left.

After winning the grand prize, Ma Youfu calmed down, read the item description carefully, recalled all kinds of knowledge about the Philosopher's Stone, and finally bought it.

Storage, transformation, and release. Although this Philosopher's Stone has flaws, it is enough to retain these three functions.

The magic power that a Philosopher's Stone can store is extremely huge.According to the records of a legendary mage from the era of the Roman Empire, the upper limit of magic power that a Philosopher's Stone can hold is equivalent to the total magic power of nine legendary mages.

If the magic power in the Philosopher's Stone could be released instantly, wouldn't it be a powerful bomb?

It couldn't be more suitable for destroying that strong, huge, and powerful sea undead castle.

After buying the Philosopher's Stone, Ma Youfu already had a preliminary plan on how to defeat those undead pirates who were getting more and more arrogant.

As long as you solve the problem of how to make the super bomb made of the Philosopher's Stone and how to deliver it to the sea castle, everything is ready.

Although it sounds simple, it is not easy to achieve this goal.

According to Andre Doria's description, the undead black castle has a powerful weapon capable of emitting magic rays, with a range of more than five kilometers, and it is so powerful that it can destroy a medium-sized warship with one blow.

If you attack rashly, you may suffer heavy losses before approaching the sea fortress.Even if Ma Youfu's fleet is all equipped with new cast iron naval guns, it is definitely not the opponent of the castle in the long-range bombardment.

Therefore, the device for projecting the Philosopher's Stone must have a longer range than the enemy.

"A cannon may meet my requirements. As long as the cannon is big enough and the range is long enough..." Ma Youfu immediately thought of building a cannon.

After all, as long as the caliber is sufficient, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

It is not an easy task to create such a cannon that has a range far beyond the common sense of this era, and Urban will cry when he looks at it.

On the contrary, the accuracy of the cannon is easier to solve.

If science is not enough, magic will make up for it.Among the prophecy spells, there are many channeling spells, and there are even changes in the law of causality. Before a long-range attack, the result of "hit" is preset to achieve a 100% hit rate. target".

Looking at the whole of Provence, if there is anyone who can meet Ma Youfu's needs and build such a cannon, it is only those followers of Wisdom who have many excellent craftsmen, mages, and scholars among their members.

Ma Youfu decided to meet them.After enjoying their own shelter, it's time for these people to contribute.

……

At the estuary of the Rhone River, the colony formed by various heretic believers of the Seven Saints has grown in size and even built a port that has begun to take shape.

The residents here gave this emerging port town a name: Port Saint-Louis.In memory of Louis IX, the French king who was canonized after his death.

However, after Ma Youfu received the naming proposal from the residents, he immediately vetoed it.

The two Crusades that Louis IX participated in all failed, and he died of illness in North Africa.The name Port St. Louis is really unlucky.

In the end, in order to win a good fortune, Ma Youfu named the new port Scipio Port, hoping that the Crusaders could conquer the Maghreb like the famous Roman general who defeated Hannibal back then.

In the newly born Port of Scipio, there are simple wooden buildings everywhere, but this does not affect the vigorous atmosphere of the whole town.

The "heretics" who were excluded in their hometown have gained a long-lost peaceful life here, and there is a better future waiting for them, so everyone has hope and smiles on their faces.

Among the heretical factions of the Seven Saints in Port Scipio, the one with the largest number of people and the strongest strength is undoubtedly the Wisdom faction who believes in the God of Wisdom, Keluo.In addition to the believers led by Gaucher, recently, two teams of Wisdom Sect came to Scipio Port after a long journey.

One of the teams was led by a woman named Baya.She is an herbal doctor, because of her superb medical skills, she aroused the jealousy of her peers, and was slandered by relying on the power of evil gods to practice medicine.The bewitched people rushed to her home, smashed her teeth one by one, and cut off her two hands.

The tortured woman was finally rescued by the Wisdom Faction.She believed that it was the ignorance of the people that led to her own tragedy, so she accepted the theory of the Wisdom School, and gradually became a deacon of the sect by virtue of her medical skills.

And the third Wisdom faction team that arrived yesterday came from far away Eastern Europe.The deacon of the denomination leading this procession was a young man named Nicolaus Copernicus.

Chapter 370 Studying Medicine Can't Save Earth People

Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Poland, in the city of Torun on the Vistula River, into a wealthy family.

At the age of ten, his father died, and Copernicus was sent to the archbishop's uncle's house to be raised, and eventually became a priest.

With the support of his open-minded uncle, Copernicus first studied at the University of Krakow, and then studied in Italy for further study in medicine, astronomy, theology and other fields.

This life experience is not much different from another historical line, the famous Polish astronomer Copernicus that Ma Youfu is familiar with.

But in fact, Mr. Copernicus still hides an unknown secret.

He is a "long-lived person".

Due to the influence of the convergence of the heaven and the sphere, the human beings on the earth have more or less blood from other worlds in their bodies.Sometimes, the power of these bloodlines will suddenly awaken, bringing various additional abilities to the bearer.

It is estimated that Copernicus possessed the blood of high elves or some celestial creatures in his body, which gave him a brain smarter than ordinary people, and he was also endowed with a long life span of more than 500 years.

150 years ago, Nicolaus Copernicus maintained the appearance of the young man in his 20s without aging.His nominal uncle, father and other relatives are actually his juniors in the Copernican family.

It was because of the protection of the family that Copernicus had an abnormal lifespan that was not exposed.Otherwise, what kind of terrible rumors those ignorant people will produce is beyond imagination.

Poland is the front line against heretics and heretics. On the remote land of Eastern Europe, all kinds of alien creatures, magic spirits, and witches and gods who believe in primitive religions emerge in endlessly.Therefore, the attitude of the people here towards the extraordinary power is also extremely conservative and sensitive.In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Copernicus could only hide his identity as much as possible.

Fortunately, his family has considerable power and wealth in Poland, so it is not difficult to keep a secret for a family member.

Copernicus joined Gnosticism with the same motivation as Baya.He hopes that one day, the world will become more enlightened and rational.In this way, I may be able to disclose my secrets without worrying about being regarded as a demon heretic by those ignorant and conservative people, and then being pushed to the stake.

Copernicus is currently studying at the University of Bologna.One day, he was approached by a group of Gnostic believers from Germany, Bohemia, Hungary, and Poland.They hoped that Copernicus, the deacon of the sect, would exert his influence and lead them through the obstacles of northern Italy to Provence.

Copernicus granted the request.

Relying on gold coins to open the way, none of the Italian states along the way made things difficult for the team, and Copernicus arrived at the port of Scipio smoothly.

He felt the optimistic atmosphere here, so he decided to stay in Scipio Port for a few more days before returning to Italy.

After breakfast, the three deacons of Wisdom Sect gathered together for a "communication meeting" and shared their latest experiences.This is the tradition of Wisdom School, because these followers of Keluo believe that only when thoughts and beliefs collide with each other can the most brilliant spark of wisdom burst out.

Mrs. Baya grabbed the wine glass with her mechanical hand, took a sip of the warm honey wine, and said firstly: "Recently, I am researching new midwifery tools, hoping to reduce the mortality rate during childbirth. Besides, Gaucher, what are we going to do?" Do you want to settle here or go to North Africa with the Crusades? Have you confirmed what the Marquis thinks? I actually prefer to settle here. If you have to go to North Africa, from now on, you must make anti-hot weather Drugs."

Gaucher coughed a few times, and glanced at the pair of mechanical arms made of brass.
