When Kaqi and the others saw this, the look of anticipation on their faces suddenly faded away. They shook their heads and sighed. Nicotine said: "The spear is still too heavy, and the elasticity is not enough. It can only be shot a hundred meters away when it is pulled to the full moon. It is used to hunt big guys." If this rate of fire is high, it is estimated that it is difficult to hit, and the distance is too close, and the shooter is too dangerous."
Kaqi nodded, "Not bad."
Du Dian looked at the shark spear and fell into deep thought. Although he expected that the elasticity would be a problem, he still held the attitude of trying. Now that the facts have been settled, there are only two solutions. The first is to reduce the weight of the spear and replace the material. , the second is to increase the elasticity of the crossbow. If you choose the first point, the lethality will definitely be reduced a lot. Although there are many kinds of lighter synthetic metal materials to choose from, the lethality will drop sharply. Even if it hits, the effect will be greatly reduced.
As for the second point, the eagle tendon rope is already the best bow rope at present, reaching the limit of elasticity!
After pondering on the spot for a moment, Du Dian raised his head and asked Kaqi, Guinness and others to put away these things first. He needed more time to think about it.
Back in the castle, Du Dian let Nicotine serve breakfast first, and while eating, he checked today's newspaper, mainly to check the dynamics of the temple and the Mellon family.
"The youngest winner of the 'Era' medal in history, the maker of the legendary new textile machine and the four-star mid-grade military crossbow, Mr. Du Di'an's new magic has been born. It is reported that the new magic is not a wood-type magic, but An extremely rare thunder-type magic... "
Du Dian looked at the special report of the temple, and suddenly saw that the front page above was suddenly occupied by his own news. You must know that in the past, almost all the news that made the headlines were master-level figures, but now, he has seized This page is occupied by a mid-level envoy. This alone has surprised many people, and it has raised Du Dian's status by a few levels.
Although Du Dian expected that the news of the new magic technique would be leaked out, he did not expect it to attract so much attention, and he was surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved. The lowest of the two magic techniques he made in advance was the military crossbow. The new type of loom is a legendary item, the key to open an era, and its value need not be said. Now the achievement of my third divine art work has attracted even more attention than the second item. If this item is identified If the results are only two-star items or three-star items, then his reputation will definitely enter a buffer stage. If the next few magical works are still only two-star or three-star items, then if he wants to make the headlines of the temple newspaper again, he must Even more difficult, the myth of "genius" will be shattered and gradually fade from people's sight.
Du Dian put down the newspaper, rubbed his fingers gently, and looked at another newspaper. This is the newspaper of the Mellon Consortium. It contains news about various industries under the Mellon Consortium. For the vast majority of ordinary civilians, it is natural I don't know that the Mellon consortium is behind the scenes of these industries, so the propaganda and influence of this newspaper have been greatly improved.
"According to the insiders of the Temple of Elements, the 'genius' Du Dian seldom goes to the temple these days. The success rate of the new lightning spell produced this time is extremely low, and the road of genius may die on the road of 'pride' …”
"According to this newspaper's interview, Aina, the top singer at the Moulin Rouge on Lai Street, accompanied Du Dian to enjoy the singing and dancing yesterday..."
Du Dian turned to the second page, and saw his own news on a third-line page. After scanning it slowly, he put away the newspaper. The top card of the Moulin Rouge mentioned above, Aina, may be just an unknown little showgirl. The Mellon Foundation's invitation, one wanted to discredit him, and the other wanted to be famous, so it hit it off. Although he expected that there would be movement from the Mellon Consortium, he didn't expect it to be so despicable. Many things were nonsense and completely groundless nonsense, but he couldn't fight back. If he sued this newspaper, the responsibility It will be blamed on the singer, and if he sues the singer, his image will definitely be entangled with the singer. Simply put, no matter how he fights back, he will lose.
This is the method used by the Mellon consortium to tarnish his reputation.
But most civilians like to hear and see such things, and they become the best talking points after drinking and eating, and most people believe in evil and doubt good, so the only way for this matter to touch him is to rely on his own works to speak .
"A group of rat shit..." Du Dian narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he was calm and rational enough, he was still a young man, and his chest was inevitably burning with murderous intent.
Putting away the newspaper, Du Dian finished his breakfast and came to the training ground, stroking and firing the cannon balls, lost in thought.
…
…
Temple of Elements, Fortress of Magic.
Ibiza stood in an empty room, looking at the big guy in front of him who was made of metal like a spire, holding the design drawings in his hand, carefully observing the various parts and theoretical assumptions on the drawings, and looking in front of him from time to time After a while, he turned to the second design drawing and continued to browse. When he saw a base-like metal structure, he couldn't help being startled.
"This..." He blinked lightly, looked carefully twice, and said in astonishment, "Can it still be like this?"
In the empty room, no one answered his words.
The temple attendant stood respectfully aside, motionless.
Ibiza flipped through the design manuscript quickly, and after a while, he suddenly turned his head and asked the waiter behind him, "Who made this magical art?"
"Sorry, Master Yi, this is a secret." The waiter said respectfully.
Ibiza was slightly stunned, wishing to pat himself on the head, confused! He put away the design manuscript and said: "There are many clouds and fog today, and it should rain tomorrow. The effect can only be tested when there is thunder. If it is successful..." Thinking of this, his eyelids twitched slightly. If it is true as stated in the design manuscript, then The value of this thing is too great!
You know, there are a lot of thunder during the rainy season and black snow season, and many residents, including noble castles, will be hit by lightning. It is a trivial matter if the house is damaged, but it is bad luck if people are crushed to death, and as far as he knows, The number of people who die under natural thunder every year is at least one third of those who died in disaster radiation, which is an extremely terrifying number.
"Yes." The waiter respectfully agreed upon hearing Ibiza's words.
Ibiza put down the design manuscript, turned and left the empty room.
In a blink of an eye, two days passed.
The biggest news in the temple report in the past two days is undoubtedly Du Dian’s new magic, while the biggest news in the noble report is the fierce friction between the Mellon consortium and the Scott consortium in the mineral industry. In the price tug-of-war, the situation is like water and fire, attracting the attention of nobles from all sides. As for the special bulletin of the military department, it is undoubtedly that the foreign war occupies a large page, and no page is left for other people and things, even some relatively small ones. The small page also records the heroic deeds of some soldiers who died in battle.
