Douluo starts with pea shooter

Chapter 193 The First Soul Engineer

Sin City, safe area, this is the only area with a clear order in Sin City, and it is also the area with the cleanest city appearance.

Chaos can only bring ignorance and backwardness, and order can bring progress and civilization. This is vividly reflected in the city of sin. According to Mina's description, when the city was first established, there were a large number of standard houses, neatly arranged. Wooden houses are very good conditions for people in this era.

The construction of these infrastructures is to reduce criminals' desire to rebel and reduce the cost of suppression.

But with more and more criminals, the city has been used for longer and longer, most of the houses were destroyed in the fighting, and some of the habitable houses were almost buried in feces, and the stench was unbearable.

There is no order, and no one maintains the sanitation of the city. The final result is that the city becomes a large garbage dump, so that in the city of sin, the uppermost class can only live in a room without the smell of feces. The degree of emptying the toilet.

In contrast, the safe zone does not allow random fighting, but instead has a basis for establishing order. Some weak people who had to flee here, in order not to be driven away by the alchemists here, spontaneously organized to clean up the sanitation of this area , to provide a good environment for the alchemist's work, and even collect construction waste to build a brand new building like a government affairs hall.

The safe zone in the city of sin is like a wilderness, the last loneliness of civilization, like a candle in the wind, interpreting the pride of human nature in the realm of gods.

Lan Nuo walked on the gravel road, surrounded by a dozen sanitation workers with bruised noses and swollen faces.

He is also very helpless, the city is full of chaos, information is almost impossible to circulate, the weak are trapped in the safe zone, and they don't know that the management of the city has changed hands. Seeing Lan Nuo's appearance, and Not a strong figure, he thought he was a newcomer who was going to seek asylum here, so he immediately organized a group of people with brooms to drive him away.

Although it is an alliance of a group of weak people who maintain the order in the safe zone, it does not mean that the alliance is harmonious. On the contrary, they are extremely xenophobic. The number of people in this safe zone is limited, and new entrants will only bring them Due to the pressure of survival, there was a picture of Lan Nuo beating up eighteen sanitation workers by himself at the gate of the safe area.

Facing Lan Nuo, more than a dozen people immediately showed lowered brows and pleasing expressions. Those who can enter the safe zone with such a strong posture must be big shots at the top of Sin City. They came here to find alchemists to order magic equipment.

Until now, they have not realized that the city has changed its owner.

Lan Nuo walked among the brick and wooden buildings that were emitting black smoke. Seeing that the buildings were pieced together to maintain a stable structure, he felt a strong smell of wasteland blowing towards his face.

Lan Nuo walked along the gravel road and came to the largest masonry building here. This place can be said to be the cleanest and tidy place in the city of sin. There is no foul smell of feces, and there is no brick wall with the slightest trace of blood.

There is even a small yard at the entrance of the house, where various plants are planted, which is a luxury in this chaotic city.

Lan Nuo came to the door of the room, looked at the sign hanging on the door that says "no entry for idlers during work", smiled, pulled the wooden box next to him, sat on it and waited quietly.

This is respect for knowledge. Compared with those who pursue personal power, Lan Nuo admires those who are diligent in pursuing the infinite knowledge of the vast world.

But respect is one thing, sitting here is another. The spiritual power of Tianmeng Iceworm spread out and enveloped the hut. Although this is already the most luxurious building in this area, it occupies an area of The area is only more than 50 square meters, and the height is only three floors. Lan Nuo can see every detail in the room through mental power.

As the scene in the room came into view, Lan Nuo saw a man with a chicken coop head busy. From the appearance, this man is really not very good, with thick dark circles, rough skin, and stains on his wrinkled clothes. Full of food scraps.

The state of life is very much like a dead house that does not go out once in ten years. Lan Nuo is noncommittal about this state of life. If he is allowed to live alone, it will probably not be much better than this.

Compared with this guy who doesn't care about the details of his own life, his workplace is much neater.

All kinds of knives used by the sculptor are neatly hung on the wooden boards on the wall. On the working table is his homemade vise, and on the other side of the table are many glass containers, which are filled with collected animal tissues and plant seeds. , mineral powder, and a small stove to boil the liquid in the glass bottle. He seems to use this method often to extract substances from raw materials.

At the position closest to the window is his forging furnace, with a simple mechanical structure, using the rotation of the windmill outside the window to pull the bellows, making the coke in the furnace burn red, and forging rare metals with various characteristics.

And the most tidy is the desk that is divided into a compartment by wooden boards, on which are painted various drawings that outsiders cannot understand, with notes that only he can understand, and each book is simply bound. The book records all kinds of knowledge he has summed up over the years.

Lan Nuo has not yet recognized all the characters in this world, but the corresponding meanings of different characters have been forcibly memorized by relying on mental strength. At this time, they correspond one by one, like looking up a dictionary, translating the contents of the book.

"The petals of muscarina, soaked in high alcohol for a day, the wine will turn yellow, the steam that cools after heating is a dark yellow liquid, it looks like urine, it smells like it, too bad, I tasted it One bite, this is the rigor of an alchemist! It's definitely not my eccentricity! My mouth is numb, I can't feel my mouth anymore.

This is a very powerful paralyzing agent. I heated the yellow liquid and let the mouse breathe the evaporated water vapor. The mouse fainted. I cut open the mouse's body with a knife, but it didn't struggle at all. I saw its heart beating. Jump, weird, but I think the outlaws out there need him so they don't scream like pigs when they clean their wounds. "

This is a short account, but without a doubt, a discovery of legitimate importance to the world, the invention of narcotics.

After reading a few more books, Lan Nuo found that the records about soul guides only accounted for about one-third of them. It is no wonder that people in this world call them alchemists. There is a big difference.

In this uncivilized era, it is possible to have all-round scientists spanning several fields, and the one in front of him is obviously that.

At this time, the man with the chicken coop head was facing an organ excised from a certain creature in distress. On this organ, there were two tentacles. When the body of the organ was hit with a hammer, an electric current would be released between the tentacles. And he was inserting the tentacles into the water, hitting the organ repeatedly, and using glass tubes to collect the gas produced by the two tentacles.

But soon, the gas would no longer be produced, no matter how much he beat it, there would be no more current release.

"Abolished again, the lightning lizard's fang glands are too fragile, so it has extracted so little fire element and flame potion." The man muttered, carefully sealed the two glass tubes and put them away. Looking out of the window, I saw Lan Nuo who was sitting quietly waiting below, and said angrily: "Come back tomorrow! I'm not free today."

Lan Nuo watched the whole process of his experiment, and understood why this guy was in a bad mood, so he said straightforwardly: "If you want to extract the fire element in your mouth, I think I can think of a way."

"Huh? You lunatics still understand this? You come up! Let me see!" Unexpectedly, the man did not arrogantly hold Lan Nuo's prejudice, but directly invited him upstairs.

When he came to the workshop on the second floor, Lan Nuo saw that the man was cleaning the experimental bench and throwing the nearly smashed lizard glands into the trash can.

"The biggest problem I'm facing now is that the dead lightning lizards can't provide me with stable electricity. If what you said can help me, if you can help me catch one alive, it will be of great help." The man said His tone was like that of an NPC in a game who asked Lan Nuo to help him catch a live lightning lizard.

However, Lan Nuo would not follow his train of thought. He shook his head and said, "You want electricity, why do you have to stick to animals? I can give you the electricity you want."

"Are you a soul master with the lightning attribute? The one whose martial soul can discharge instinctively? That's even better!" The man was overjoyed. In the City of Sin, there are many soul masters with the lightning attribute, just like the fire attribute and the wind attribute. Most people can't discharge their soul skills when they can't use them.

"You misunderstood, I need two magnets, you must have them!" Lan Nuo hand-wrought a simple generator on the spot, and then connected it to the windmill with a transmission gear, and it rotated rapidly with the rotor wrapped with copper wires , Between the two wires, there was a faint crackling sound, and clusters of electric sparks made the chicken coop man's eyes widen.

"How did you do it? Is this an element converter? You transformed the power of the wind element into the thunder element? The thunder element can transform the water element into the fire element! It's incredible!"

Lan Nuo: "..."

Although there are many slots in this understanding, Lan Nuo did not laugh at it. The process of trying to construct a theory that can explain the world is not ridiculous. On the contrary, it is a respectable behavior.

The dancing man saw Lan Nuo being left alone for a long time, and then he remembered to introduce himself: "My name is Howard, and I am an alchemist. Nice to meet you."

Lan Nuo nodded, and relying on his respect for scientists, he suppressed the sentence "You are too happy too early" back in his throat.

"My name is Lan Nuo, an explorer from across the sea, I come here to learn knowledge."

Howard subconsciously regarded the opposite side of the sea as the Sun Moon Continent, which is the Middle-earth Continent in the population of this continent, so he was not too surprised, but continued to discuss the principle of the element converter with Lan Nuo curiously.

Lan Nuo patiently explained to Howard what electromagnetic induction is. In the process of explaining and experimenting, Lan Nuo also noticed that due to the interference of the soul power, there was a huge deviation in the physical parameters of this world, such as the increase in the efficiency of electromagnetic induction. , the resistance of the conductor to move in the magnetic field becomes significantly larger.

The original experience is still useful, but if it is applied rigidly in this world, there will definitely be problems.

During the discussion, the topic finally turned to the aspect of the soul guide. With Howard's introduction, Lan Nuo understood that the current soul guide does not have a core magic circle, and all structures are directly carved on the It is built on a whole piece of rare metal, and there is no modular design.

Under Howard's explanation, Lan Nuo discovered that the soul guide technology is still a kind of rune technology in the final analysis. Different runes have different functions, and different arrangements have new meanings. In fact, carving is not as simple as imagined. Importantly, Howard said that he did not have any rigorous engraving techniques. In many cases, he even used a vise to clamp the workpiece for engraving. The key points were the order of runes and the arrangement of wires on the soul guide.

Lan Nuo conjectured maliciously that later generations set the threshold for making soul tools so high that they had to be carved by hand, maybe it was just to monopolize the soul tool technology in the hands of soul masters.

When it comes to the arrangement and combination of runes, that is Lan Nuo's home game. Currently, Howard has summed up eight basic runes and 34 derivative runes.

And there are too many possibilities for the arrangement and combination of these runes, and it is impossible for him to handle it alone, and different arrangements will also produce different effects due to different placement positions, and the difference is that Howard It cannot be solved by current mathematical tools.

After explaining to Howard the most basic permutations and combinations, solid geometry, and analytic geometry, Lan Nuo enthusiastically recommended calculus to him. Howard, who was ignorant, didn't know that what he was about to face was how to make people The subject of mental explosion.

When Howard immersed himself in calculus and felt that he had discovered the New World, Lan Nuo also obtained his first soul guide device, the most basic soul guide launcher, which can emit high-speed airflow and launch solid projectiles. Ordinary, not as good as the most common rifle, but it made Lan Nuo very excited.

This kind of result can be achieved in the first attempt, which means that the development potential of the soul guide is huge. As for the storage soul guide that Lan Nuo is most concerned about, Howard gave a set of rune arrangements.

"According to this arrangement, you can make the simplest space props, but the capacity is very small, and the space is not as big as a backpack. Compared with runes, the capacity of space props depends more on the raw materials. It is a mineral like sapphire. I only have a small piece here, and it has been used by me."

After listening to Lan Nuo, he came to the conclusion that the price of cabbage for storage soul guides is unnecessary, but the cost of making storage soul guides in Sun Moon Continent is only about one-thousandth of that of Douluo. The strategy is to make money, open mines, and build bases in the Sun Moon Continent!
