Chapter 315: Spiritual dust synthesizes soil, slaves will not be convicted for their words
Regardless of the impact of the correction force on Vendreva or the Nine Layers of Hell's return to the material plane, at least for now, the correction force has no effect on Abes who is researching building materials.
Regarding the materials, Abes had only asked symbolically.
There shouldn't be anything drastically different.
Things like springs and bearings are very similar in this world and the real world, because the rule that the smoother the material, the less friction and the rule of elastic potential energy exist here.
By the same token, whether something is precious or not is also a kind of common sense.
Spells and wizards have almost nothing to do with ordinary people, and the various knowledge and methods they created in the past should be of no value.
But what I didn't expect was that Abes could really be inspired and guided.
"Magic materials are usually expensive and rare, but there happens to be a category that falls outside of this 'common sense'."
"What?" Abes asked in confusion.
On the other end of the radio, Bing Nagi's voice also came leisurely.
"Lingchen."
----------
Hiinagi stood in her laboratory in the royal capital.
Once here, I made the iron bird and produced the magic radio.
And now, after receiving the message from Abes through the magic radio, she came here with the goal of getting the building materials.
Two hours later, the desk was piled with various material samples and experimental records.
Now, her eyes rested on a small glass jar containing an inconspicuous-looking gray powder.
This powder is called "Spirit Dust", which is exactly what Lord Abes mentioned, and it is not an expensive and rare magic material.
This is natural, as impurities and intermediate products would be very expensive.
It is born from various magical rituals, and the difference between it and ordinary dust is that it is slightly magicalized.
In places where traditional rune sets or magical rituals are common, there will be stains similar to incense ash.
But there are not many places like this, so no one has ever cared about it.
However, in the royal capital, the situation is completely different. In the magic industrial system established by Lord Abes, the emergence of Lingchen can basically be said to be a nuisance.
For three months, there has been a serious dust problem around those rune groups.
The semi-automation and assembly lines established by the entire magic industrial system are so complete that some places look as if no one has been there for eight hundred years.
The best situation was actually the Royal Capital Steel Plant, which had rows of magic blast furnaces.
The second place is the weapons production lines and other places that are managed and inspected by people.
This is probably because these production equipment sites produce a large amount of filth every day at a high intensity, and they are the kind of places that are cleaned frequently. The spiritual dust may have been mixed in with other garbage and was cleaned out together.
Other places, especially those so-called "automated" parts that people thought would never be touched in their lifetime, were severely affected.
Who would have nothing better to do than to go and take a look at the magic crystal pipelines laid underground in the new city area of the royal capital?
If there were no gray-electric balance in the magic industrial system and the spiritual dust did not cause any danger of blockage, this matter would have caused a huge uproar long ago.
In fact, in order to solve the trouble of dealing with the spiritual dust after it was generated, Bing Nai had already been studying what this thing could be used for before this radio message came out.
But it is hard to say what the result will be, because it is not active in nature and may only be used as an auxiliary filling material in magic experiments.
However, this time, Lord Abes mentioned building materials, so Bingnai decided to take a good look at whether Lingchen has the potential to be used in addition to magic experiments and magic rituals.
Bing Nagi poured some spiritual dust onto the lab table, and using a piece of paper and a spoon, she carefully took out a small handful and put it into a small furnace.
Afterwards, she also drove the magic crystal to ignite the furnace and observed the reaction of the spiritual dust under the high temperature.
Unexpectedly, the spiritual dust did not burn out quickly and transform into magic power like ordinary magical particles, that is, magic crystal powder, but instead began to gradually turn into a translucent gel-like substance.
"This is really strange," Bing Nagi muttered to herself under her long ice-blue hair, "Spirit dust actually undergoes such changes under high temperatures. Is there a difference between magic and unmagicalization?"
She tried to continue heating the gel, but eventually began to wonder if it was a substance without a fixed melting point and that heating it further would have no practical effect, so she gave up.
However, the experiment did not stop. Since the purpose was to produce building materials, Bing Nagi mixed the spiritual dust with ordinary sand, gravel and soil, and carried out the next step of processing.
During this process, she did not use those complicated procedures that only appear in magic experiments and magic rituals.
On the contrary, Hyo Nagi tried her best to use only common physical processes such as stirring, heating, and adding water, which ordinary people could easily perform at that time.
This time, I don't know which step worked, but the gelatinous substances finally had something to attach to. They quickly combined and then "crystallized".
Just by turning around, Bing Nagi found that it finally turned into a hard and elastic substance.
How was it accomplished?
After thinking for a moment, Hiiragi carefully condensed an icy hammer and gently struck the newly formed material.
And the rebounding feeling told her that this thing was not only hard but also had excellent toughness.
If Abes were here, he would associate this thing with plastic or glass. It gives people the feeling of tempered glass, but it is much more flexible than glass.
In the modern world, this kind of thing is collectively called new material.
Generally, it will also have lightweight or semiconductor properties. If these labels are attached, it may be used in the aerospace field or electronic technology field.
Due to its similarities with transparent materials such as glaze and glass, people may subconsciously ignore its high hardness and toughness, and would not think that this thing only looks like glass, but has the effect of a thick wall.
Of course, transparent things may be a bit awkward as building materials. If this thing can be dyed, we can consider whether to replace the glass windows or some more futuristic walls.
However, even though Bing Nag didn't know the definitions and knowledge of these new materials, an idea emerged in Bing Nag's mind...
----------
Next is verification.
Bing Nagi stared at the new material in her hand, feeling a mixture of excitement and confusion.
She knew she might have found the key to solving Lingchen's problems, but it still needed further verification and improvement.
Especially...the verification of how it was born.
First of all, of course, she needs more spiritual dust.
Bing Nagi took out a large bag of spiritual dust from the laboratory's storage room and spread it on the table.
She carefully divided the spiritual dust into several portions, marking each with a different number to distinguish them.
Although the improvement research of the magic radio station has been carried out in the laboratory for several days, a pile of spiritual dust can be gathered by just sweeping the room, but it is obvious that in order to avoid contamination and influence from other factors, Bing Nagi still decided to use the raw materials that he heated at the beginning.
The numbering and classification is used to ensure that there will not be multiple changes after comparing every two numbers. This is also an experimental method that Lord Abes told her.
Then she started a new round of experiments.
Surprisingly, even though all the steps of adding contents, stirring, and heating were repeated, this time, the Frost Mage did not produce a product as transparent as plastic or glass in the bottle...
----------
In the tug-of-war between the Womza army and the Nass army, the first person to discover the "weakness" of the Womza army was an ordinary sinner.
Or a war slave.
They are a level lower than ordinary soldiers.
Not only do they need to fight to the death, but they can also be transformed into undead at will with a single order. They cannot and are not allowed to resist, and there is no respect for honor or sacrifice.
It is simply used... as a supplement or even raw material for the undead.
For example, the undead they transform into are usually not used directly in combat, but are immediately split into parts and used to repair other undead.
Perhaps even the commanders and mid-level officers thought they were filthy and corrupt.
But it was these people who discovered the weaknesses.
Because they need to run around and are rarely moved around by their commanders, they will wonder why they should rest at this time and why they can finally rest.
Soon, combined with this "life" experience, they discovered that when they didn't need to run, it was because the bombardment had stopped.
The reason for the stop was that the coverage of the strange and terrifying artillery fire in the sky seemed to be limited.
The iron bird is different from the magic arm armor. Although both are powered by magic crystals, the energy consumption of flying high in the sky is much higher than that of the soldiers shooting a few flaming arrows.
They have to reserve some of the energy for returning to the Breland family's "bird landing pad", which prevents them from flying too far away.
Naturally, the coverage range of artillery fire in the sky is also limited.
However, no matter how much the other party does not understand the Iron Bird, Magic Crystal and the Magic Industrial System; as long as they are attentive, they will be able to observe the existence of the coverage range limit.
It doesn't matter whether they understand it as some kind of domain, some kind of great magic ritual based on the boundaries of the country, or something else.
The point is, the "weakness" has been found.
As long as they retreated half a mile, there might be a slight gap in the coordination between the next artillery fire and infantry.
And if they just seize the opportunity, they may be able to use the power of the undead to launch a critical counterattack, just like Jerry the mouse who tempted Tom to catch him at the door.
Now that the weakness has been found, the next step is to report it.
Unfortunately, it is impossible for the war slave soldiers to achieve this.
Because slaves cannot be convicted for their words.
Think about it carefully, a war slave suddenly thought of a good way to deal with the enemy, he decided to tell his discovery to the upper commander, what will be the result?
Many people would think that this war slave would be punished for interfering with the command or advice of the battle.
But the result is not like this, because they can never get in front of important people and never get the chance to express their own ideas.
The first thing they will be held accountable for is - how dare you leave the war slaves' camp and come to the place where regular soldiers, magicians and wizard apprentices rest?
How dare you step over here with your dirty bare feet.
And what if he was wearing shoes?
Then he will also be expelled, or even punished more severely.
Because he actually has a pair of shoes, which are clearly stolen goods, he must be beaten severely.
What if you not only have a pair of shoes, but also wash your body and wear neat clothes?
Things might be okay - until your identity is revealed, and you'll get more beatings from the military stick for hiding your identity and trying to deceive your superiors.
What if you wore the same armor as the soldiers?
That would be a big trouble, and it might not be solved by just dragging the person away or beating him with dozens of sticks.
You, a war slave, are wearing armor, which clearly shows that you are going to cause trouble - it is the same principle that in ancient times, privately possessing armor was considered treason, and in modern America, privately wearing a bulletproof vest is more serious than carrying a gun.
You might be beheaded, and the source of your armor—either another soldier or the soldier in charge of the armory—might receive the same punishment.
Obviously, no one cared about what a war slave discovered from beginning to end, and no one knew what he really wanted to say.
He could not wait until he was convicted for his words. His crime came from living as a war slave...
Assuming he fights to the death and wants the superiors to hear his words, his voice, and his warning, then what should he do?
He should gather a dozen, or even dozens, one or two hundred war slaves or even soldiers, all wearing armor, and marching in unison towards the camp of the superior.
At this time, the other party should finally be in the mood to listen to what he says.
Oh, that's not necessarily the case. What if the superior on the opposite side is actually a stupid commander, a rookie who has just entered the battlefield? Then maybe he is not in the mood to listen to you, but is busy dealing with his own crying and shitting.
but……
Man, you are able to mobilize such a large number of people and such military supplies, and yet you still want to be a war slave and give advice to others?
At a time like this, I’m afraid no one would consider stirring up such a big situation just to communicate a discovered “weakness” in the enemy.
They will launch the bloodiest revenge and resistance.
If he had such power, all he would do in the end was to convey a message, disband everyone after the task was accomplished, go back to being a war slave, and then die in a charge.
This is really too weird. It is as if after Dong Zhuo entered the capital, the Queen Mother just said one word and made him take the Xiliang army back obediently, and the story of the Three Kingdoms would never happen.
In female-oriented novels, this is called Bad Ending aesthetics;
But in male-oriented novels, this is called Sabi!
Absurd, stupid, barbaric, pathetic - but true.
These are all the possible outcomes for a war slave after he discovers the enemy's "weakness".
