"Yes! Make the airship's defensive armor!"
Tust's eyes were burning as he continued: "If a large amount of [Angela Black Iron] is used to make the armor of the mechanical airship, it means that we can greatly reduce the weight of the airship. The airship will travel faster and the load will be lower. More... The biggest advantage is that during artillery battles, the armor made of this metal can almost withstand the attacks of most current artillery, and will not be penetrated by projectiles, nor will the structure of the airship be affected by violent impacts. Stability…”
"Um."
Ren also nodded with a look of approval.
Just now, he was curious and tried it out himself, using a musket to hit the shield.
Regardless of whether it can be penetrated or not, the hand holding the shield barely felt the impact of any bullets. If you look closely, you will see that the surface of the metal shield has erupted in circles of strange and imperceptible ripples due to the impact. Then the high-frequency vibration actually completely absorbed the impact.
As long as the shield is big enough and thick enough, it should be the same if it can be used against artillery.
The old man said, and then added: "Moreover, even in the face of the attack of the 'magic artillery' on the wreckage of the airship... As long as the content of black iron is high enough, its super high magical conductivity will make the airship Absorbing most of the magical energy is enough to cope with most situations. If we have such an airship, we will have a real advantage against enemies outside the fog in the future!"
The technical gap can be slowly caught up.
But if the materials are crushed, this can be converted into combat power instantly, without fear of aerial artillery battles.
Upon hearing this, Ren and Ymir nodded approvingly, their expressions showing deep anticipation.
... ... .
"The content of [Angela Black Iron] in these two shields is very high, and preliminary estimates have reached more than 80%. And my arc shock alloy black knife is only mixed with a little..."
Tust held two shields with a rather emotional expression.
It took me a lifetime to collect so little, but I didn’t expect that I suddenly picked up an amount in the “garbage dump” that I might not have been able to collect in several lifetimes.
Only then did Raymond know why the old man didn't forge six black knives. It turned out that [Angela Black Iron] was not widely circulated in the world, so he reluctantly forged four, and then used other materials to make quick shields and Long sword.
"Sacred Blood Ore" is a top-notch material in the alchemist circle and has a wide range of applications.
Legend has it that this is a special ore gradually formed by the blood of ancient demon gods soaked in iron ore layers.
That's why the [Angela Black Iron] extracted from this ore has super high magic conductivity and magical physical defense capabilities. Legend has it that it also contains a trace of divine power.
But whether in the two empires or the Glory City, this kind of material is a top-quality material in the auction house, and it is usually sold at a discount.
But now when I look at these two pure black iron shields produced in ancient ruins, they probably weigh several dozen kilograms.
No wonder Tust was a little sad.
After listening to the old man's words, Ymir also guessed something and analyzed: "The styles of these two shields are almost identical. In this case, it is very likely that they are the standard equipment of the ancient army. In other words, that The amount of [Angela Black Iron] mined by ancient civilizations may be very huge, so large that it can be equipped in batches for the army!"
"Yes, that's what I guessed too."
Tust nodded and said: "Whether the living corpse carrying the shield comes from an ancient battlefield buried underground, or an ancient ruin like an ancient city, it also means that we can find more black iron shields. Maybe... the rich mine for mining the 'God's Blood Mine' is nearby!"
Renn: "So... our top priority now is to find more black iron shields as soon as possible, or that... 'God's Blood Mine' mineral layer!"
"Yeah. This is also the purpose why I called you two here..."
Tust nodded: "Confirm the quantity of materials as soon as possible, so that I can make some adjustments to the design of our airship in Black Dragon City. If there is still more, our mechanic army can also mass-produce some top-notch mechas..."
Ymir: "I know."
At this time, the craftsmen who were rummaging through the "garbage team" behind them burst into surprise and shouted: "Mr. Tust, we found another shield!"
... ...
Mr. Tust made a special trip to tell Ren and Ymir about this, just to make them pay attention to these small discoveries.
This black tide has been breaking out for nearly a month. Initially, Black Dragon City had to fight off several waves of zombies almost every day. Until almost all the "living corpses" within a radius of dozens of miles have been killed, the frequency has become less and less recently.
As a result, a large number of "trophies" were harvested.
But not all materials can be preserved from thousands of years ago to the present.
Most of the metal artifacts brought out from the skeletons crawling out of the soil have decayed.
No one knew about this [Angela Black Iron] shield before, and it wasn't taken seriously. Those things were just waiting for the steel-making furnace to be made and all the furnaces were smelted.
Now it seems that I almost missed a valuable treasure.
The two said goodbye to Tust and came out of the warehouse.
Ren was also a little emotional and said to Ymir: "It seems that this [Black Wave] has really brought us a lot of treasures!"
Ymir frowned and asked, "Could that shield be left behind by the Monkel civilization?"
Now that there is a treasure map of the [Black Emperor's Tomb], they confirm that there should be ruins of the Monkel civilization in this basin. When she saw ancient civilization, she naturally thought of that immediately.
But Ren shook his head: "The pattern on the shield doesn't look like it. Instead, it looks like the product of a civilization earlier than the Munkel civilization."
He has an intelligent brain, and his systematic comparison is more accurate than any archaeologist. He had seen the styles of those patterns in the library, and they indeed existed many years earlier than the "Munkel Civilization".
After a pause, his eyes gradually deepened, and he sighed: "My intuition tells me that the Kalatwa Basin will probably give us more surprises..."
Ymir also murmured: "I'm looking forward to it too."
... ...
Whether you want to find the "Tomb of the Black Emperor" or the remains of the ancient army holding a black iron shield, aerial reconnaissance troops are indispensable.
Therefore, the role of flying dragon mounts becomes even more important.
Otherwise, if you want to rush deep into the basin to search for information amid the tide of corpses, even if you are legendary, you may not be able to come back alive.
Fortunately, Udo's dragon training work is on track.
The "Dragon Catching Team" established in Black Dragon City also began to have frequent activities.
Coleman's soldiers have already explored the pterosaur nest on the bloodline of the mountainside. On the cliff, there is a large group of thousands of pterosaurs.
Although Yalong is fierce, it is a Warcraft after all.
Coleman warriors hunt in countless ways.
Now that Black Dragon City is skewing resources, the Mechanical Department has equipped the "Dragon Catching Team" with "cable guns" and "net guns" specially designed for catching dragons, which are more efficient.
Simply set a bait not far from the cliff, and you can catch ten or eight pterosaurs in one day.
When Udo came back bundled up, Udo trained her and then assigned her to Coleman's knights to develop relationships.
As time goes by, Black Dragon City's flying force has begun to take shape.
However, the capture progress of level five dinosaurs is not so ideal.
At the beginning, the earth dragon group near the airship wreckage often came to harass them. But after being beaten several times, they gradually learned that the humans in Black Dragon City were not to be trifled with, and the group began to migrate.
Moreover, as the city walls are getting taller and the number of artillery is increasing day by day, the threat posed by monsters attacking the city is getting smaller and smaller. Except for those who are lost, there are very few dinosaurs with no eyes to bite the unknown with their teeth. Iron knot city.
But the good thing is that this also means that the emerging Black Dragon City has gradually gained a foothold in the dangerous "Kalatwa Basin".
This is also thanks to the fact that there is a half-finished mechanical city here. Otherwise, if it were built on the same site, it would not even be able to transport the materials, and it would be wiped out countless times by frequent monster attacks and black tides. Therefore, we can imagine how courageous and powerful Master Cavo was when he established the "Glory City", and how many difficulties he encountered.
... ...
Ymir and the council were concerned about the affairs of the city, and Ren, the city lord, was happy to have his leisure time.
His daily life is also very regular, practicing, studying medicine, going out to kill living corpses, and hunt dragons.
After possessing the [Thunder Totem], Ren's fighting spirit skyrocketed all the time.
Under normal circumstances, it takes about ten or eight years for a transcendent to reach the level of overflowing fighting spirit from the second level to the third level.
But after the black tide passed, the "abyss demonic energy" in the air became more and more intense, making the practice more efficient with half the effort. Renn estimated that it would take three to five years for him to advance from the second level to the third level.
But now that I have a totem, it can take up to three to five months.
This is only the natural growth of fighting energy due to meditation and totems. If you add in the absorption of a large number of black crystals obtained from killing living zombies, this speed can be increased by several percent.
Of course, because after the "devil insect" in the body matures, the upper limit of the meridians' endurance is greatly increased.
He did not intend to rush to advance, but planned to see if his body could withstand several times the limit of fighting energy at the same level.
The fighting spirit surged, and Renn felt the "great benefit".
[Divine Healing Technique] Due to the rising tide of fighting energy, the amount of treatment is greatly increased.
[Threading the needle and thread] also condensed more and more powerful threads due to the increase in fighting spirit. The secret method of [Powerful Demon God] is also progressing faster and faster due to the increase in the number of Gang Threads. It has reached the point of "integration and mastery", and the "Divine Power Realm" is just around the corner.
Every day now, Renne's strength is soaring visibly to the naked eye.
... ...
A month later, the good news came.
Coleman's dragon knights patrolled every day, and finally found traces of a large number of human "living corpses" more than a thousand kilometers southwest of Black Dragon City.
Not only that, they also brought back more than a dozen [Angela Black Iron] shields and another exciting news.
"What? You said there are not only shield skeleton monsters there, but also a temple of 'Munkel Civilization'?"
"Yes, we took a look from a distance, and there was a powerful aura inside that made even the flying dragons dare not approach... Moreover, even the lowest skeleton monster is a fifth-level existence!"
