Richard frowned slightly as he walked on the mountain road. He had already walked around the mountain almost once, but he didn't find any passages or cracks. Combined with the previous exploration of the consciousness body, it is basically certain that it is basically impossible to take a shortcut to take the crystal skull out of the mountain.
Then we can only find a way to carve a tunnel from the outside of the mountain, enter the secret room inside the mountain, and then take out the crystal skull.
In this case, it will be a large-scale project, especially in the current medieval world.
If you only use hammers and anchors manually, it will be difficult to complete in half a year.
In terms of spells, "Chapter of Monroe" does have earth spells that destroy rocks. I have recently learned one, but at the wizard apprentice level, it can only be cast on a very small scale. Even if it is used continuously, the effect is very average. .
We still have to think of a better way.
Richard narrowed his eyes slightly, stopped on the mountain road, and looked at a rock wall next to the mountain road, thoughtfully.
Richard knew that there was a secret room dozens of meters behind this rock wall, but how could he dig through this distance as quickly as possible
After thinking for a moment, Richard raised his hand and pointed at the rock wall, chanting a spell in his mouth.
"Wow... Wow..."
On the rock wall, rocks cracked and peeled off bit by bit.
Plastic earth spell·zero-level low-level·earth and stone control.
"Wow wow", the rocks continued to fall, splashing a lot of dust, seemed to be full of momentum, but in fact, it was only a long time to get a hole with a diameter of three or four centimeters in diameter and ten centimeters deep.
Richard looked at the hole, pursed his lips, and recited the incantation again. After a moment, a ball of liquid oxygen was produced and filled into the hole.
After doing this, Richard thought for a while, then found some sawdust and hay nearby and stuffed them into the holes. After stuffing them full, the standard liquid oxygen explosive was completed.
Yes, liquid oxygen explosives - explosives in the true sense, are somewhat different from ordinary liquid oxygen mass explosions, because they are filled with some combustible materials.
Liquid oxygen explosives, a type of mining explosives, were invented by the German Linde in 1895 on modern earth. Generally, combustible materials (such as carbon black, soot, paper scraps, sawdust, etc.) are wrapped into cylinders, immersed in liquid oxygen before use, and then immediately moved to the place where the explosion is required after being filled with liquid oxygen.
After detonation, the combustibles inside burn rapidly, the temperature rises sharply, and the volume expands sharply, triggering an explosion that is more powerful than nitro explosives such as TNT.
Liquid oxygen explosives are extremely low-cost under a complete industrial system. However, because liquid oxygen volatilizes quickly at room temperature, the explosive life is very short, usually 15 to 20 minutes, and must be temporarily soaked before use. Therefore, it cannot be used to make bullets, bombs, artillery shells, etc. It is a "peaceful" explosive, and its greatest use is industrial mining.
To put it simply, this is explosives specially used to open mountains.
Dynamite opens mountains, dynamite opens mountains.
He stepped back, turned his head, looked at Pandora, and pointed to the side.
Pandora's eyes flickered, she understood the meaning, and reluctantly stepped aside to dodge.
Richard took a deep breath, fixed his gaze, waved his hand and released a ball of flame, shooting towards the liquid oxygen explosive in the hole.
Immediately afterwards, a wall of air was released in front of him.
With a "boom", the flames flew into the hole, detonating the real liquid oxygen explosive. The rock wall shook violently, and a huge cavity exploded along the slotted hole. The rubble collapsed like a bullet. came out, flew in all directions, and then was blocked by the wall of air "bang bang bang".
When the dust settled, Richard removed the air wall, took a look at the effect, and found that he was quite satisfied. At least using liquid oxygen explosives to open the mountain is more efficient than using manual labor or simple magic. The entire project can be completed in less than a month.
However, during this process, some problems that may occur must also be fully considered.
After all, to dig out a tunnel, you don't just have to blast it with explosives.
A rush of violence and destruction cannot solve any problem. The real solution to the problem is to use your brain.
Digging a tunnel seems simple, but in fact there are many aspects that must be considered, otherwise the modern earth would not have developed into a complete industry.
The method of digging tunnels by filling holes with explosives is called the drill and blast method on modern earth, and is mainly used in the construction of mountain tunnels. In addition to the core blasting, a series of issues such as measurement and setting out, bracket reinforcement, ventilation, smoke exhaust, and slag removal after blasting must also be considered.
Although the tunnels currently being excavated are intended for one-time use and are not intended to be used repeatedly, and there are no strict requirements in terms of safety, they cannot be ignored completely. Otherwise, what if the tunnel is halfway dug and a blast blows up the entire mountain? According to the size of this mountain, if it really collapsed and was buried inside, not to mention the wizard apprentices, even the real wizards, would not be able to survive.
Therefore, some problems must be thought through clearly and solutions must be found before the real excavation can begin.
For example, the bracket problem needs to be solved. Reinforcing it with wood is feasible, and there is no shortage of wood in the forest. But it's better to get some quality iron.
It's just that the mining, refining, and forging of iron are more troublesome than digging tunnels. If you do it alone, it will take too long. Fortunately, the technology content is relatively low, and the current world already has a relatively mature system. You can directly contact the outside world and solve the problem through purchasing.
I have money. There are many gems in the suitcase. After all, in order to get rid of the shackles of identity and leave the Blue Lion Kingdom, I had already planned it and considered all aspects. But having money is not enough, you also need to have access to people who can trade.
So... where to find it
Or, think of other solutions
Richard thought, waved to Pandora, and walked down the mountain.
…
Move forward a little bit in time.
In the forest at the foot of the mountain, dead leaves are densely covered, and the sound of horse hooves can be heard.
"Da da da… "
Prince Gero rode forward on his horse, with the rest of the nobles vaguely guarding him around. The soldiers on the periphery were on the alert while conducting reconnaissance. Their task was to find the beasts first and notify the nobles so that they could hunt them down, and to prevent the wild beasts from going crazy and directly attacking and causing injuries to the nobles.
At this moment, a strange roar suddenly sounded from the mountain next to it.
"Neigh!" Some horses were frightened, raised their front legs high, and then fell heavily, leaving two deep depressions on the ground.
"What's going on?" someone shouted.
Everyone immediately became alert, pulled out their weapons, and looked around cautiously.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Half a minute passed, but nothing happened.
this…
