Real Cthulhu Running Game

Chapter 2380 Tiger Talisman of the Imperial Guard

"The area of ​​Jekyll Island is not small, so it is an island after all. In the parallel world we are in, the range of activities of deep divers is quite large, and they can almost be found near the sea. There are traces of Jekyll Island, so it is possible that this deep diver accidentally entered Jekyll Island. Of course, it is also possible that he took the initiative to enter Jekyll Island for exploration. After all, Jekyll Island at that time knew that there was something wrong at a glance, so he stayed in the nearby deep diver. After the Diver tribe learns about this, they will definitely send people to inquire about the situation. If they know that there is a research facility left by the Yis on Jekyll Island, they will definitely come to explore this secret base. "

Liu Xing touched his chin and said: "Don't allow others to snore on the side of the bed! Besides, the guy sleeping next to you is not easy to mess with, so even if this deep diver tribe doesn't know the situation on Jekyll Island, they will definitely send someone Go explore Jekyll Island and wait until you have some definite information before deciding what to do next; but now there is another possibility, that is, this deep diver may also be a research material for the Yithians. After all, although the deep diver is a mythical creature in our eyes, in the eyes of the Yithians, it is an ordinary creature that can be used to create new synthetic beasts with other creatures. "

"Well, if the Yithians really use the deep divers as research materials, then the deep divers will also be properly treasured materials. After all, even if the Yithians want to capture a deep diver, it is not easy. Because deep divers are also considered social creatures, it’s not easy to catch a lone deep diver!”

Ding Kun frowned and said: "Of course, this deep diver may also be the experimental assistant of the Yisi people. After all, the IQ of the deep diver is not low, and you also mentioned that when you entered the Jekyll Island module, there was no I have discovered what staff are in this secret base! Although the Yithians, as mythical creatures on the technological side, are certainly capable of making an artificial intelligence system to manage the entire secret base, such a design would actually have great consequences. Problem, because immature artificial intelligence systems will be too rigid, and true artificial intelligence systems will also be too rational, which is not necessarily a good thing for synthetic beast experiments that require constant attempts of various material formulas. "

"Well, no matter what, this deep diver should have been transported from Jekyll Island to this martial arts module. However, it may have been transported to other places as an organism, otherwise it would have been transported to other places by now. I’m dominating the world with that synthetic beast-making device. No matter what happens, I can divide it into one party!”

Yin En shook his head and said with some confusion: "If there is really an artificial intelligence system in that secret base, then this artificial intelligence system has most likely awakened its self-awareness, so this secret base will suddenly shut down, and we are in the whole This artificial intelligence system is not mentioned in the plot process! So now we have another problem, that is, will the AI ​​intelligent system that may exist in this martial arts module be the same as the artificial intelligence system on Jekyll Island? Is it the same thing? Or is the AI ​​system of the Yis people more advanced and able to integrate the AI ​​intelligent system of the previous civilization? "

"ah?"

Huo Zijun on the side looked at Liu Xing and others with confusion, wondering what Liu Xing and others were talking about, "Well, although I also participated in yesterday's conference, I was still thinking about something else at the time. question, so I didn’t pay attention to what you were talking about. Of course, my question is actually very important, which is to use the special products in this martial arts module to make a substitute for gunpowder! Now I have a general idea, If you’re lucky, you can actually make a musket in this martial arts module!”

"oh?!"

Liu Xing and the three of them looked at Huo Zijun with surprised expressions. They didn't expect that he was quietly preparing to do something big.

Although Liu Xing has played a martial arts game in the real world that also has muskets, Liu Xing remembers that this game does not allow the use of muskets by default when playing online, because muskets are a very useless weapon in online battles. After all, you don't need to consider parabolas like using bows and arrows, and the damage is not low, so you can easily use muskets to improve your results in a big brawl.

Therefore, after the advent of muskets, the status of bows and arrows on the battlefield gradually declined. Among the martial arts works Liu Xing has read, there are really few works that release such magical weapons as muskets, because even ordinary people can use them. Use a musket to severely injure a martial arts master. If you are lucky, you can also hit the soul with one shot. Therefore, if the musket really appears in this martial arts module, then unless the martial arts master can do it 24 hours a day, They all maintained the golden bell cover and iron cloth shirt, otherwise he would definitely suffer when facing this musket.

And for players like Liu Xing, the difficulty of making muskets is concentrated on gunpowder, because everyone has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running, so they still have some experience on how to make the most basic muskets. All they need to do is try it. If you make a few mistakes, you can start mass-producing muskets, but a musket without gunpowder is just a fire stick, so no one has mentioned making muskets until now.

Although everyone knows the basic formula of gunpowder, which seems to be very easy to make, the problem is that in addition to charcoal, sulfur and saltpeter in this formula are not easy to obtain on a large scale, so some people have tried to study it before. Gunpowder, in the end, was blocked by sulfur and saltpeter, because these two materials are really difficult to obtain. For example, there is only one bag of sulfur left in the medical center, which is probably less than a kilogram. As for saltpeter, it can also be used Found in medical clinics, but stocks are less.

So with just such a small amount of materials, they may be used up after a few experiments. It is not easy to obtain these materials from the outside world, not to mention that the gunpowder made with this simple formula is the most classic black gunpowder, and this black gunpowder There are still some shortcomings when used to empower weapons, and it is not stable enough.

"I've experimented with black powder several times, but it's still a bit too reluctant to use it as a weapon. And I don't know why. These mixed black powders will expire after being left for three days, and the effect will be greatly reduced! I guess this is the result of gram The Sulu Running Group Game Hall did not want us to make muskets, so it specifically restricted us in terms of gunpowder. After all, the technical content of the musket itself is not high. We only need to make a barrel of uniform thickness. If conditions permit, we can Add rifling and it’s almost done.”

Huo Zijun said seriously: "And I also sent a letter to the players in Far West City and Boyang City to help me collect some sulfur and saltpeter. It turned out that these two things are not only scarce, but also very expensive. More importantly, There would be obvious impurities, so I gave up the plan to make black powder at that time; but there is a poem called "The mountain is poor and the water is no way out, but the willow is dark and the flower is bright and another village is there!" I discovered an herbal extract while reading a book! It has similar properties to sulfur, but the extraction process of this herbal medicine is more troublesome, and there are many medicinal materials with the same effect, and they are cheaper than it, so this herbal extract has not been promoted. "

As a doctor, Liu Xing quickly found the herb that Huo Zijun mentioned - red rope grass - from "Liu Peng's" memory.

In appearance, red cord grass is not much different from dog's tail grass, but it has a very obvious red line on it, so it is called red rope grass. Only "dog's tail" of this herb can be used as medicine. , has miraculous effects on colds and fevers. But, compared with its relative, the foxtail grass, this red cord grass is somewhat spoiled. Therefore, the red cord grass can be said to be very harsh on its growing environment. However, if it can be planted in a suitable environment, Red cord grass, then the yield of red cord grass is quite high, so red cord grass is like most special medicines in the real world. It is effective but expensive, and there are also many substitutes with less effective effects. , so this kind of red cord grass is still very rare on the market. As for people who grow red cord grass, they generally do it for their own use.

In Sweetwater Town, there are still suitable sites for planting red cordgrass, and that is near the lair of the wine gorilla. Because there are many trees and leafy branches there, it will not be too hot even in summer, let alone be affected by it. Covered by the scorching sunshine, and the land in this area is considered fertile, it is very suitable for growing red cord grass.

Sure enough, after Huo Zijun said "red rope grass", he applied to Liu Xing and planned to find a few NPCs to plant red rope grass in the wine gorilla's lair, because at this time Huo Zijun had a certain status in the alliance, but in Tianshui Zhen is just a white man, so it is not easy to command those NPCs.

“No problem, I’ll arrange a few NPCs for you later and let them obey your orders!”

Liu Xing nodded and said: "If you want to make the extract of red cord grass, I remember that it must be extracted at high temperature, so you can contact the person in charge of the brewery. They should have what you need! But in high-temperature extraction After the base liquid is produced, it seems that several more processes need to be carried out, but I am not sure what these processes are specifically, because no one really spends so much effort to make red cord grass extract. After all, If you have this time and energy, you might as well just buy sulfur.”

"So I'm still doing research now. As for saltpeter, I haven't found a suitable substitute yet, but I'm also collecting saltpeter during this time, but I think the Cthulhu Run Game Hall has arranged red rope grass to play the role of sulfur. , then it should also prepare other things to replace the saltpeter, so that we can make the new gunpowder in this martial arts module, and then we can make several muskets!"

Huo Zijun said with a smile: "If we can really make a few muskets, then these muskets can become our last trump card. If there is a chance, we can use these muskets to attack some important targets, because this time the martial arts module None of the NPCs have ever seen muskets, so they will be somewhat relaxed when facing these things they have never seen before, and then we will have the opportunity to use small things to achieve greater results.”

Although the cake painted by Huo Zijun still lacks an important material on the surface, and may actually encounter more problems, the cake painted by Huo Zijun is too delicious, so Liu Xing is still willing to provide it to Huo Zijun. More resources.

Ever since, Liu Xing took Huo Zijun to find the old village chief, and asked the old village chief to arrange a few reliable farmers to help Huo Zijun farm, because basically none of "Liu Peng's" old neighbors knew how to farm. After all, everyone has been doing business for decades, and at most they can only grow onions, ginger, and garlic at home.

When Liu Xing was about to leave, the old village chief grabbed Liu Xing and said, "Liu Lieutenant, I have something I want to give to you, because you are the only one suitable to carry this thing in Tianshui Town." ”

"what?"

Although Liu Xing used a question sentence, he already had some concerns in his mind, because most of the things that the old village chief could hold were related to Wang Anhai, so the old village chief had already given away the Wounding Dragon Spear. If you give it to yourself, then the remaining things are either Wang Anhai's armor or Wang Anhai's tiger charm.

If it was the former, then Liu Xing felt that he should have known about such a piece of armor on the way, because the armor used by generals like this is generally made of solid workmanship, and must be hung on a special shelf to prevent the armor from being damaged. It "collapsed" down, so the armor looked quite conspicuous on the bullock cart.

More importantly, formal armor is still very heavy, so military generals in history would only formally put on armor before going into battle. After all, wearing such heavy armor is still quite tiring, even for the most powerful. That group of generals! Therefore, we can find that the famous generals in history are almost all cavalry generals, and the infantry generals are mostly bodyguard generals like Dian Wei. After all, the cavalry generals can use the impact of horses, which is equivalent to directly doubling their force value.

So at this time, Liu Xing hopes that the old village chief can take out Wang Anhai's Tiger Talisman, because for Liu Xing, this armor is just like the Wounding Dragon Spear, which can only be seen but not used. After all, Liu Xing's character card is not Known for its strength, of course no player in Sweetwater Town can use that dragon-wounding gun now.

 “This is the tiger talisman of our ancestors.”

The old village chief took out a cloth bag from a small box, and then took out a tiger talisman made of topaz from the cloth bag. "When the ancestor left, he only took with him the dragon-injuring gun. This tiger talisman, because this tiger talisman represents his prosperous years! What's more important is that this tiger talisman also contains a lot of dragon energy. After all, it can be used to command the new Dragon Emperor's imperial guards! , this tiger talisman is only half, and the other half is still in the hands of the new Dragon Emperor. "
