From troll tribes to elf empires

Chapter 228 New Achievements

This series of meetings was held for more than ten times and lasted for no less than two months;

During this period, countless rounds of large and small consultations were held within small groups holding various different opinions;

It seems that they will continue to discuss the differences endlessly.

As a result, the four impatient advanced witch doctors intervened, stopped the unrestrained wrangling, and forced them to compromise on their mutual positions.

Due to the existence of ‘pilots’, you can control the direction of policy implementation at any time and intuitively feel its unstable details;

Therefore, the direction of compromise is generally in favor of the faction that "abolition of production teams and confiscation of property after death".

Therefore, relevant 'trial measures' were finally formed, and it was decided to implement the 'fixed partner system', 'regional autonomous community', and 'contractual partnership' within the pilot, as well as various related policies such as military service, taxation, property inheritance, etc.

.

Among them, because if no underhanded tactics are used on the issue of 'property inheritance', or no changes are encountered, it may be difficult to conduct actual verification based on the strength of the trolls in their prime;

Therefore, in this regard, it is mainly necessary to observe the changes in the mentality of the experimental subjects now and in the future when facing this policy;

And what kind of impact this resulting change will have on the behavioral habits of individual trolls in society;

For example, consumption concepts, production enthusiasm, life attitude, etc. can be used to further judge the feasibility of this policy in the future.

In addition, laws and regulations related to various systems, such as the 'Contract Law', the 'Fixed Partner Law', the 'Law on the Organization of Local Governments', etc., also need to be gradually improved during the pilot operation;

In the end, it still needs to be decided based on the actual situation whether to implement it nationwide.

After determining the general direction and discussing various details with the actual executors - all levels of the ruling government;

It may be a little more troublesome, but there is nothing that can be done for the time being.

~~~~~

While preparations for the pilot work are in full swing, the previously determined "key area construction" work has entered the implementation stage.

Thirdly, although he was a scumbag in science in his previous life, at least he had heard of the terms "electrolysis" and "oxidation-reduction reaction" and had a little superficial understanding of them;

Therefore, simply parsing the ‘spell template’ from the ‘spell-like template’ is not the end of this research;

Continuing to explore the various details of the overall rune set is the more important research project.

As for the black prism that directly achieved the attack effect, the team tried every means to keep some samples at that time, brought them back with the team, and handed them over to different research institutes after returning to the headquarters;

First of all, through the debugging of ‘identification’, more and more metal elements are being determined in ‘rune form’, and many different types of mineral veins have been discovered;

The rune spells derived from it, as well as each set of runes included in it, can be said to be priceless.

However, all the specific implementation matters have been handed over to the witch doctors of the ruling government. At this time, they have returned to the top of the mother tree and continue to work as a 'research house'.

However, the results in this area are not completely useless. Witch doctors still found other ways to find great uses for them.

However, due to the 'one-to-one' nature of 'extraction' and the structure of its branch runes being too varied and complex, witch doctors were unable to mutate it into special spells corresponding to these newly discovered metals;

Because this is the first time that witch doctors have discovered a magical beast that can extract metals from nature, this primitive spell-like template can be said to have opened a previously closed door.

Such controlled experiments have been conducted many times before and after. The witch doctors tried their best to obtain various substances from various regions;

On the other hand, since its unit weight is much larger than the existing steel and wood of the headquarters, it can be considered to be developed as a potential energy weapon;

For example, the way volcanic salamander is used is a good reference;

If the ratio between its own weight and the force required for launch can be well balanced, it should allow the Republic to have greater killing or damaging effects when targeting large targets.

The more than a thousand graduates began to move into several 'community' areas of varying sizes that were designated for them.

~~~~~~~

At this time, in a laboratory located in the hollow of the trunk of the mother tree, several witch doctors were releasing brand-new spells.

With this mentality, he separated several witch doctors to look for traces of electricity from the "withdrawal" part;

Some witch doctors hope that the research project will hit them on the head;

The other part of the witch doctors just look forward to the results. As for whether they came up with it through their own research, they don't really care about Nesta and the other four.

Such a conclusion immediately alarmed many researchers, including Nesta and four other advanced researchers.

Based on the existence forms of these mineral veins, witch doctors have a deeper understanding of the various properties of metals in nature, and from this they can make inferences about the 'activity level' and other aspects.

But when it is transformed into runic spells by witch doctors, the reaction process can be made visible to the naked eye;

Therefore, these phenomena have been observed one after another in experiments.

For another example, combining 'prospecting' and 'identification', the witch doctors used the stupid method of 'constantly adjusting the rune details' to the existing metal samples in the headquarters to gradually obtain their own corresponding structural expressions in the rune group.

.

~~~~~~~

In the previous battle with the volcanic salamander, in addition to the opponent's self-healing, the most eye-catching ability of the troll was nothing more than a very powerful long-range attack method;

The explosion scene that shattered the volcanic rock wall is still fresh in the memory of all the participants even after such a long time.

The Institute of Metal Research believes that this should be an alloy with high hardness, wear resistance, good strength and toughness, and it also has advantages such as heat resistance and corrosion resistance.

After that, for efficiency and other reasons, the research team still made allocations. Witch doctors who were not in a hurry for their own research were selected and grouped according to their respective strengths.

This is the reason why the witch doctors previously judged that it could ‘change the fate of the Republic again’.

Under such circumstances, the ruling government was naturally extremely busy due to these two major tasks that came one after another.

But fortunately, the samples of seven large and small heads are right in front of us, and even if they are not enough, we can catch them again. Therefore, as time goes by, this research is finally on the road to success.

In various regions of the Republic, small and medium-sized strongholds were being demolished one after another at this time;

Fortunately, in the East, because a major rotation between stations was implemented at one time, the builders back then didn't know where they were at this time.

For example, a spell specifically used to explore metal mines was derived from this and the different structures of other spells, and was derived by a certain group during the research process.

Then, either by boat or by rail, we can see where we will live in the future.

Here, although black prisms of almost the same size as the former were condensed, the generation rate was much slower, and no more prisms were produced subsequently.

Finally, there is the control group that casts spells in the air;

No matter how long the caster stayed here, there was no black prism in the transparent sealed vessel with only air inside;

I don’t know if it really doesn’t exist, or if the product is so tiny that it cannot be observed.

However, these four sets of controlled spellcasting experiments also seem to indicate something.

At least, this kind of black prism crystal, or its constituent materials, should be widely found in nature;

Since then, all production teams with labor shortages will need to be dealt with by the ruling government on a special basis and other solutions will be found based on the actual situation at that time.

They dig into the details, constantly changing the various combination structures in the existing rune groups, and at the same time comparing the existing rune groups in other spells, trying to analyze the role of each 'component' in the entire spell.

achieved effect.

Therefore, it will be a long-term road to deduce the method of elementalization of other metals through the existing extraction method of three metal elements.

In short, in such complicated moods, the trolls who left the station gradually arrived at the nearest large stronghold with large and small supplies;

In addition, during the study of the intermediate products and tail impurities when the previous 'extraction' rune group took effect, several special liquids were also discovered, which were proven to be able to play a role in the 'metal oxidation reduction'

a certain role.

And after having such an 'expression', it has become a relatively more convenient thing to use the new 'prospecting' technique to find their natural mineral veins, and there is no longer a need to rely entirely on the horned hoof species.

'Taught' experience.

~~~~

As time goes by, day by day, month by month, and even year by year, research on the weaknesses of volcanic salamanders and capture plans for advanced species have failed to make breakthroughs;

The complex spells, accompanied by the moving fingers, slid rhythmically in the air, playing an unnamed piece of music, and the expected results began to unfold;

Slightly above the first three targets, several pieces of black matter of different sizes began to condense at different rates.

For example, sea water, river water, soil in the east, and stones in the west are used to analyze the difficulty of obtaining them;

In addition, just the "extraction" of the three existing metal elements has many differences in the structure of the runes and in the actual response;

It can be seen that this 'detachment' is indeed not a fixed form, but within the framework of the overall technique, it can be filled into a variety of changing categories.

However, although on the application side in the field of mechanical processing, it is considered to have no value in the short term because of overlapping functions with existing plant-based materials;

But the most important point about this matter is not actually the discovery of this substance, but the process of its generation itself.

They seem to realize that this should be an extremely important moment, and there may be another magic that can change the fate of the Republic again, which will be discovered soon.

However, with the in-depth exploration of some witch doctors and the support of magic techniques, combined with the existence forms of metal elements in various mineral veins, certain results have been achieved in the 'oxidation and reduction' of metals, and gradually specialization and disciplines have been achieved.

The prototype of transformation.

The remaining approximately 15,000 mature trolls will be sent to the headquarters to start construction and become new residents there.

Not long ago, the conclusion from the Metal Research Institute had arrived, and it was judged that "this seems to be a type of metal element, or a special alloy."

In addition, in the 'identification' section, the rune forms of various metal elements were found to have great similarities;

Relying on this similarity, the witch doctors continued to adjust and approximate the operation mode of that part of the rune group, and once again obtained feedback from several new types of metal elements that did not exist in the previous alloy.

For another example, the elemental state of ‘Heileng Brothers No. 2 Metal’ is silvery white, which is characterized by light weight, high strength and metallic luster;

Among them, the rune shapes in the 'Identification' section helped the witch doctors locate the three different metal elements that make up the alloy;

What was then completed was a solid magma rock that was also solidified from one cubic meter of magma;

Even some witch doctors who had previously focused on their own research and did not pay much attention to the volcano project, at least not the black prism part, raised their heads specifically for this purpose and wanted to find out what was going on.

This process works in reverse as well.

With the mutual growth of science and magic means, the part of the world that belongs to the "unknown and chaotic" will become less and less, and the part that belongs to the "known and order" will become more and more.

But now, the witch doctors also care about the results in front of them.

For example, the witch doctors of the Warcraft system believe that their contribution in the field of materials can finally catch up with the plant system;

However, the Plant Department disagrees with this and believes that the new category should be called "Metal System". What does it have to do with your Warcraft Department?

~~~~

Nesta is also paying attention to this series of research, and feels deeply happy about the breakthroughs made in the field of metal research;

But at the same time, this is not what he cares about most here.

First, from the feedback from the witch doctors, Nesta saw the adjective 'paralysis';

The first thing to end is the semi-molten magma;

And before that, due to his unfamiliarity, Nesta only mentioned the 'oxidation-reduction reaction' in passing;

The remaining metal minerals that exist in the form of ‘compounds’ have strict application restrictions;

For example, the "extraction" rune set for the "Three Black Prism Brothers" is actually different variants in a large category and cannot be used interchangeably.

Once you have the rune set, as long as you continue to develop it, it will only be a matter of time before it becomes a totem.

In the process, failures do exist. They are either the accumulation of success, or they are complete garbage. The former makes the witch doctor bow his head, but the latter makes the participants feel even more frustrated.

And in the ‘detachment’ part mentioned before, there are actually some discoveries that make the trolls think deeply.

The skeleton of this rune group, after adding the corresponding generation and feedback structures, can be directly used to obtain several types of 'precious metal elements';

Especially the metal that is so golden that it is named 'gold' can be obtained directly from mineral veins within a certain distance under the influence of this spell.

What is slower than the first two is the box of soil taken from the surrounding areas of the headquarters;

It is hoped that through property comparison and other methods, we can determine what type of substance it belongs to.

The ‘extraction’ part will strip the corresponding metal element from its natural chemical state;

With these intersections, the concept of ‘chemistry’ gradually became clearer

Finally, the exploration of ‘electricity’ has also achieved considerable results;

The witch doctors guessed based on the various characteristics proposed by Nesta, and indeed analyzed the relevant part of the rune group, and found the interaction between physical strength and electricity when casting spells.

Different from the previous "fire" and "water" spells that cannot be used by warriors even if they are totemized, and require the participation of external substances to be effective;

Part of the 'electricity' discovered this time seems to be closer to the category of bioelectricity, which is a reaction originating from the body.

The conclusion obtained after the observation still continues the judgment that "the magma of southern volcanoes is the most abundant".

Finally, after these combinations, a guess appeared in his mind. Could it be that the so-called 'extraction' part of the runes was the version of electrolysis, right?

Judging from the current situation, the magma produced in the southern volcanoes seems to be the most abundant natural material in this resource.

Of course, in the process of implementing this plan, Zeng Jin’s ‘vacancy filling’ policy was stopped;

In front of them were a piece of solidified magma, a pool of semi-molten magma, a box of soil randomly taken from around the headquarters, and the air in front of them.

The ‘condensation’ part will make the metal elements form relatively stable elements after the above process occurs;

The ‘forming’ part will mix the metal elements into alloy products;

After the task assignment is completed, the research here will officially begin.

However, the witch doctors were not depressed, because they saw the way to turn "natural chaos" into "natural order"

The accompanying phenomena themselves are natural phenomena that were not understood before, but now they are cultured, controlled, and studied, and the process of "being studied" itself is not a kind of "following".

Chaos to order's progress.

Moreover, witch doctors have discovered that runes of this type are often accompanied by other ancillary phenomena other than 'single substance acquisition' during their operation;

For example, the elemental state of ‘Black Edge Brothers Metal No. 1’ is a shiny steel-gray metal;

When refining using its corresponding 'Extraction' rune group, an acidic solution will appear before the reaction itself;

And during the reaction, a slight strange numbness will occur.

The situation in the west is different. Those who are demolishing these strongholds at the moment are most likely the original builders themselves.

One after another, the trolls watched the settlements they had built with their own hands being demolished, the surrounding cultivated acres were abandoned, all the animals were loaded into trucks, and the valuable factory machinery was dismantled and packaged. Their emotions were quite complicated;

Moreover, when the ‘Three Black Leng Brothers’ are extracted from their respective compounds, gas or solid impurities are often produced.

These strange phenomena are not obvious in magma salamanders, because the entire magic-like process occurs in their cavities, and the impurities are also expelled from the body along with the magma along the parotid glands.

Secondly, what is obtained by the extraction method is metal element;

In addition, he also mentioned 'his own' speculation on phenomena such as oxidation and reduction, and gained the attention of some witch doctors.

And the reason why it is arranged so far away is, in a sense, to weaken the mainstream values ​​of society, such as the impact of the 'production team' on them;

In addition, it is also for the convenience of the later period to continue to fill in new graduates and expand the scale of the pilot.

Warcraft and metal, living things and non-living things, even if there is a magic-like intervention in this relationship, it still surprises the witch doctors.

Therefore, it is not yet possible to directly precipitate these new metals from their natural compounds like the "Three Black Prism Brothers".

The allocated area is a little far away from the main body of the old and new cities. Although it is indeed a planned 'urban area', the planning is based on a scale of hundreds of thousands. Therefore, from now on, this place is actually more like

An independent community located outside the city.

The ‘shaping’ part determines the size, shape and other external characteristics of the final product.

Of course, this is just an enjoyment of the future;

However, its unit content in different substances or spaces should be emphasized.

To this end, the ruling government has begun to coordinate materials and other aspects. Whether it is the northbound city construction materials or the allocation of residential areas for new residents, they need to plan in advance.

However, with the deepening of research, various branch projects have appeared continuously, and they have developed rapidly due to the unreasonable side of the technique.

When it is pulled out, it will first form a powder and generate it at high temperature after sintering. The process also produces a numb feeling.

This is definitely a huge discovery

Physical strength and electricity can interact through magic, and the results it can bring are not just the 'Thunder Mage';

When more 'phenomena' are observed, controlled, and understood in the future, more and more things can be explained by runes;

Similarly, this is also the only way for rune magic to go from not asking for a deep understanding to becoming clear.

Moreover, corresponding theoretical speculations have been put forward about respiration, photosynthesis of plants and other phenomena.

Gradually, 'metal element identification', 'metal element extraction', 'metal element condensation', and even the final 'formation of alloy' and 'shaping', etc., the sub-items separated from the overall structure of the spell were successively

analyzed;

Therefore, after the preliminary results were obtained, more witch doctors were assigned to this research.

Here, although there are also black prism crystals, they are not only so small that they are almost invisible to the naked eye, but their production rate is also extremely slow.

The series of phenomena that occurred during this period may be the prerequisites and intermediate processes for the occurrence of electrolysis, but these things have been replaced by magic in some form?

Although I don’t know much about the specific process of ‘electrolysis’, as the name suggests, it does require the use of ‘electricity’, right?

His previous life also made him understand how important "electricity" is to a modern civilization;

And here, once electricity and magic can be combined with each other, maybe there is hope to achieve greater civilizational achievements than in previous lives?

Of course, if what he had studied in his previous life was not liberal arts, but science and engineering, he might have discovered many things that were more interesting and even incredible than "electricity";

But it's a pity that he is just a liberal arts student, and the thing he values ​​most at this time is really nothing but electricity.

And after being 'at home' for a while, good news finally came from the team responsible for studying the 'Volcanic Salamander'.

There are approximately 16,000 trolls in this group, and they are all in their prime;

In addition to 1,500 of them, they will march northward and build a new "Inner North City" within the gap in the mountains;

On about one cubic meter of magma, black prisms barely the size of a little fingertip were condensed. After that, no matter how the witch doctors cast spells, there was no response.

On the one hand, reluctance is inevitable, after all, we have been living for a while;

On the other hand, I really want to leave as soon as possible because it is inconvenient and life is boring.

The analysis of the physical properties of the products obtained has also become more specific with the accumulation of an increasing number of samples;

In the field of application, the Metal Research Institute believes that it can be used as a substitute material for various high-strength cutting tools during mechanical processing, but its properties are no better than existing high-end steel and wood;

Therefore, unless its output exceeds the sky, even exceeds that of trees, and there is an endless supply of special steel wood, there is no need to replace it.

Therefore, even after becoming a totem, the power will be greatly reduced due to the failure of all parts other than the 'bioelectricity', but the 'bioelectricity' part may still become a power that warriors can use;

Even if it cannot be used to cause damage, can it be used as an intermediary to give warriors the ability to control certain magic products?

In this regard, although witch doctors have not mastered the technology of "dead body enchantment", many plant-based magic applications have similar functions.

For example, the 'Tree House', which was developed after soliciting opinions from the public a long time ago, became useless because non-witch doctor trolls could not use its various functions. In the end, it became only used by witch doctors.

residence.

As for this kind of living magic product that has energy in itself, if it can solve the problem of "starting with electricity", it may be able to be used by warriors.

And once successful, perhaps we can use this to develop more finished spells that warriors can use to enhance combat effectiveness and enhance the convenience of society?

Not only that, now that we have the thunder and lightning spell, if we work harder on this basis, maybe there will be breakthroughs in electromagnetic waves, power, and so on?

What kind of world would that be?

Looking at the electric current at her fingertips that made a crisp sound and then disappeared, Nesta fell into imagining the future society.
