Chapter 588: Senior Talent Arrangement, Evil Eye Gatling Plan

Zong Shen walked out of the Lord's Fortress first and followed the steps to the courtyard of the fortress.

Behind her, Clarissa had no choice but to get up and follow Zong Shen away.

Mariel and others sat at the long table and looked at each other, but did not speak.

After several upgrades, the fort's courtyard is very spacious.

It is surrounded by taller and thicker towers.

All spring-like buildings in the territory are placed in the yard.

Zong Shen even planned to let Salome plant the sweet potato vines in the yard.

In terms of geographical location and defensive capabilities, this is the safest place in the entire territory. There are defense matrix controls everywhere, as well as patrolling wolf cavalry and patrol dogs.

As the central area of ​​the territory, most of the defense matrix areas will overlap here, so it can be said to be a place that attracts much attention.

Both patrol dogs and sentry towers have their own true seeing eyes, forming an airtight defense network.

In addition, the central area is under strict surveillance.

There is a patrol of [Sword of the Dome] above the head, and there is a [Wonder of Thunderland] stationed behind.

The training grounds, [Magic Hall], and [Library] are crowded with people.

At this moment, in addition to the original [Moon Well (orange)] and [Magic Well (purple)] in the courtyard, there are three more spring-shaped buildings, namely [Fountain of Power (Purple)], [Energy Well] Spring (Purple)], [Swift Spring (Purple)].

All came from the points exchange last night, and Mariel built them early this morning.

These spring waters each have different effects and are gurgling slowly, collecting into the stone nests of the spring water in the form of trickles.

After seeing these springs, the originally stiff expression on Clarissa's face softened a bit.

Many high-end potions use precious spring water as raw materials.

It seems that Zong Shen really wants to make a potion sincerely.

Zong Shen came directly to the [Fountain of Energy (Purple)].

There was about a small bowl of water in the stone nest.

The sparkling bubbles in the energy spring kept popping up, and then exploded with a faint flash. It really looked like sparkling water.

He raised his hand and pointed to the spring, turned to Clarissa and said.

"This is energy spring water. Drinking it can restore your energy."

"I need you to use it as raw material to make a drink?"

After hearing Zong Shen's words, Clarissa glanced at the spring water, then raised her head and looked at Zong Shen.

He asked in a puzzled tone: "Drink?"

Seeing her look, Zong Shen patted his forehead lightly.

I almost forgot that there is no word "drink" in this world.

Although there is alcohol and juice, there is no such thing as a drink.

So Zong Shen reorganized his language and added.

"It's just a strange drink."

"It has a very special taste, with sweetness and bubbles, as well as the aroma of cinnamon and lemon..."

"You will feel very refreshed after drinking it."

"It tastes better if chilled beforehand"

Zong Shen recalled the taste of Coke and tried to use an easy-to-understand description.

There are cinnamon and lemons in the Endless Continent. He once saw a lord selling them in the [Market]. As for caffeine, it was not in his description. Clarissa couldn't understand it even if he said it. .

Clarissa, the senior pharmacist on the side, looked strange after hearing Zong Shen's request.

"Dear Lord."

"I'm just a pharmacist, not a winemaker."

"Please forgive me for not being able to do it..."

She actually directly rejected Zong Shen's request.

And the refusal was straightforward and without any sloppiness.

This made Zong Shen frown involuntarily.

Speaking of which, the loyalty setting seems to have undergone some changes recently.

In the past, even if the requests he made made the people in the territory feel embarrassed, they would always comply with them.

What's more, Clarissa Theresa's initial loyalty when she was recruited was not low, reaching a numerical level of 80 points, but she was obviously not as easy-going as Salome or Ironhand Bucklen.

Whether it is due to personality differences, changes in loyalty settings, or other reasons cannot yet be concluded.

Thinking of this, Zong Shen's expression suddenly became more serious.

He raised his right hand and shook it gently with one finger.

"No, you can do it."

"I need you to use energy spring water as the raw material to ensure that the finished product not only has a unique flavor, but also retains its energy-restoring effect."

"And it tastes like what I just described."

"Anyway, I need you to start researching it soon."

“You don’t need to go into mass production because spring water is limited, you just need to nail down the recipe as much as possible.”

"The samples will be tasted by me personally."

Zong Shen's tone became firmer, no longer using questions, but all declarative sentences.

There is a kind of domineering "I don't want you to feel, I want what I feel".

Now that the words have come to this, Clarissa can only agree first even if she is reluctant.

She nodded slightly and performed a breast caressing ceremony.

"As you wish, Clarissa will do her best..."

Zong Shen's expression softened slightly and he nodded slightly.

"Very well, then I'll leave this matter to you."

"An intermediate dispensary will be built in the territory within today. I hope you will take action immediately."

"The required materials can be conveyed to Mariel. This communication crystal is given to you. Mariel's number is No. 6, which is Mariel."

Zong Shen took out a communication crystal and handed it to her, obviously having high hopes for the Magic Cola project.

Clarissa took the crystal and bowed again.

At this time, Zong Shen turned around directly, walked towards Lord Lin's fortress, and walked back to the fortress hall on the stone steps.

Behind him, Clarissa was also holding the crystal, lowering her head and thinking, while following him.

In the hall, everyone was still sitting in their original positions.

Zong Shen returned to his seat and sat down, and Clarissa also sat back down.

At this time, Zong Shen turned his attention to Iron Hand Bucklen again.

No one knew what he actually said to Clarissa.

After returning to the fortress hall, Zong Shen's expression became much more serious.

Facing the gaze he casts, there is always an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Especially the goblin engineer who was watching him at this time.

The stressful eyes made the restless dog couldn't help but twist its butt slightly, and then its throat trembled, and it couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

At this moment Zong Shen slowly spoke.

"Tiezi, I also have a very important task for you."

"During this period, you will assist the dwarf uncle in researching the jet breeding suit."

"You will know exactly when you get to the blacksmith shop."

"In addition, the machine shop will be built within today."

"I have something else I need you to research."

Zong Shen said in a slightly brisk tone.

Iron Hand Bucklen's head turned rapidly, trying his best not to miss every word Zong Shen said.

"What is colonial equipment technology?"

it asked almost out of the blue.

"A kind of magic technology, but it can be combined with magical beasts!"

"The samples and plans are all with Uncle Dwarf."

Zong Shen smiled and replied that he liked guys like goblin engineers who were full of research desires.

"Combine magic technology with Warcraft?"

"What a bold idea!"

Ironhand Bucklen's eyes lit up, and his big green nose trembled with emotion.

At this time, Zong Shen took out an egg-sized eyeball and placed it on the table while the iron was hot. It made a "bang" sound, recalling Iron Hand Bucklen's thoughts.

"Don't be distracted. In addition to the breeding technology, this is another thing I need you to study."

Zong Shen pointed to the eyeball on the table and said solemnly.

"This is a strange eyeball, I feel like he is looking at me..."

The goblin's eyes focused on the eyeball for an instant, and then it felt that something was not right with this eyeball, and it seemed to have strange power.

This is the precious material [Evil Eye (orange)] that Zong Shen has collected for a long time.

[Evil God Forgotten] from the Bone Burial Bunker.

Can be used as raw materials or directly.

Just input 20 magic points to activate it and send out an evil eye ray.

Each ray can cause a fixed 20 points of magic damage.

This damage has a constant value and cannot be weakened or enhanced by double resistance.

At the same time, each ray will also have the attribute effects that the evil eye has.

For example, the evil eye pupil on the table is fiery red, representing burning.

Magic points and mana have something in common.

The magic value, also known as magic power, is absorbed from meditation induction.

Magic energy is the magic power stored in ore crystals, which are common high-energy minerals, magic energy crystals!

Under certain magic equipment, the two magic powers can complement each other.

Therefore, in theory, the magic eye can also be driven using magic energy.

Zong Shen raised his magic eye, pointed it at the nearby wall, and input 20 points of magic value.

Immediately, a fiery red ray shot out, leaving a burning black mark on the wall.

At the same time, it caused 20 points of damage to the wall's durability.

The maximum range of the evil eye ray is 20 meters, which is inferior to any long-range shooter.

Even the stones thrown by the kobold slingers travel farther than the rays.

Although there is no cooling limit for a single evil eye, it can be activated as long as magic energy is input.

But the independent evil eye actually doesn't have much attack advantage.

——Unless it has a high rate of fire!

This was also the problem he was going to hand over to Ironhand Bucklen to solve.

"Able to emit concentrated rays..."

"Sir, can you let me see this eyeball?"

The goblin engineer said impatiently.

Zong Shen raised the corners of his mouth and rolled his eyes away from the table.

Ironhand Bucklen quickly grabbed the evil eye and began to fiddle with it with such concentration.

At this time, Zong Shen took the initiative to speak again.

"Have you ever seen the magic musket forged by the Dark Iron Dwarves?"

Ironhand Bucklen, who was studying the eyeballs, nodded.

"Sir, I've seen it before."

"That's a weapon that uses magic gunpowder as power to fire alloy projectiles."

"The range and power are far greater than arrows, but the rate of fire is slow."

"After each firing, the chamber needs to be cleaned and new gunpowder and projectiles are added."

"In addition, magic gunpowder is not only expensive to make, but also extremely dangerous."

"You need to add fire gem powder, white saltpeter extracted from feces, and carbon powder."

The goblin engineer said carefully.

"So your goblin bombs also use magic gunpowder?"

This time it was Zong Shen's turn to be curious, and he took this opportunity to ask his doubts.

But I saw Ironhand Bucklen shaking his head and speaking quickly.

"The goblin bomb detonates magical energy, not material energy."

"Although the magic gunpowder has been adjusted, it can also cause horrific explosion effects."

"But their nature is too unstable and is far less easy to deal with than restraining magic."

"Only dwarves with rough skin and flesh are willing to study magic gunpowder."

"When the magic flame was first developed, the black iron furnace almost exploded."

“The gunpowder workshop was not installed until later.”

"In addition, those wildhammer dwarves who are short-tempered and brainy once commissioned the Dark Iron dwarves to make an explosive hammer for them. It only takes one strike to hammer a big hole in the ground, but the user will also be affected. …”

"What a bunch of brainless lunatics!"

…

The more Ironhand Bucklen talked, the talkative side of the goblin bloodline gradually emerged.

Zong Shen listened to it patiently and had a preliminary understanding of the difference between magic energy and magic flame.

"This eyeball must come from some powerful monster!"

"There are no monsters in the mainland with such weird eyes."

The goblin engineer played with his eyeballs for a while and came to a conclusion.

"Then my dear lord."

"What kind of modification or research do you want me to do on this eyeball?"

Ironhand Bucklen finally remembered the business and asked expectantly.

"I need you to cooperate with Uncle Dwarf."

"Transform the evil eye into something similar to a magic gun!"

Zong Shen finished speaking softly, brushed his palm across the table, and took out a dozen more evil eyes in one go.

The pupils of these evil eyes vary in color.

In addition to the fiery red that represents burning, there are also light green that represents corrosion, yellow that represents pain, blue and white that represents frost, dark green that represents chaos, and gray that represents arcane.

Zong Shen had been hit by the yellow evil eye ray back then, and the pain caused was no less than muscle rot.

After the pain subsided and the injury healed, a faint scar remained.

"Although I mentioned the magic musket, the two are actually not similar."

"First I need you to develop a small portable core."

"It allows the core to power the evil eye, ensuring that it can be activated."

"In addition, you can arrange these magic powers into a wheel structure and use a crank to turn them manually."

"Each evil eye forms a barrel, which rotates at high speed when the crank is turned, supplying energy in turn to activate."

"In this way, the evil eye can continue to fire..."

Zong Shen briefly described the concept of the Gatling minigun.

On the seat, the expression of goblin engineer Iron Hand Buckren changed from confusion at first to shock.

"Core functions…"

"Evil eye barrel... crank wheel..."

"After taking turns to excite, it can ensure that the rays continue to be emitted."

"Although the evil eye does not cool down, each time the magic energy is input and fired, it takes one or two seconds. However, the wheel structure can solve this problem by activating it in turns. Each evil eye only needs to complete the process of inputting magic energy. Then you can move to the next magic eye."

"And the time to input magic energy is simply minuscule!"

"This is really a genius setting!"

The goblin engineer couldn't help but stand on his seat and let out an excited exclamation.

"I hope you can make a sample as soon as possible."

"You can try combinations of four, six, eight, ten, or twelve evil eyes."

"The magic energy core I need to assemble is enough to sustain continuous shooting for a period of time, and the size is controlled to the extent that a single person can operate it."

“Let’s call this weapon the Evil Eye Gatling!”

"Please pass on the required materials to Mariel."

"This communication crystal is for you."

Zong Shen continued to add that he planned to use Evil Eye Gatling as a high-explosive weapon.

The damage value is superimposed based on the rate of fire. The faster the rate of fire, the more explosive the damage will be!

Zong Shen also gave it a communication crystal.

"Sir, I may not necessarily make a sample as soon as possible!"

Iron Hand Bucklen first took the evil eye on the table into his arms and made a serious promise to Zong Shen.

"Very good, I believe you can handle it."

"Don't forget the concept of colonial clothing. I won't go into details here. The dwarf uncle will tell you."

Zong Shen once again emphasized that in addition to the Evil Eye Gatling, he also had high hopes for the "Gryphon Bomber". The goblin bomb on hand was only one short of a suitable airdrop carrier to turn into an exploding death!

"Okay, Mariel, please take everyone and leave first."

Zong Shen put his hands flat on the table and said to Mariel and the three senior talents.

The four of them stood up, bowed to Zong Shen, and prepared to leave.

At this time Zong Shen remembered something again.

Called Mariel.

"Wait a minute, Mariel, there is one more thing you need to hand over to Howie."

As he spoke, he took out the [Large Illusion Projection Magic Disk (Purple)].

"This magic disk can emit a large-scale projection."

"Let Howie record a suitable projection and place it outside the mine."

"He'll know what to do."

"As for magic energy crystals, there will be no shortage of them in the mine."

The magic disk was large, and Zong Shen placed it on the table.

Mariel walked to the side, raised her hand and put the magic disk into the storage compartment.

"Okay, sir, I will hand it over to Howie."

Mariel smiled slightly, and after Zong Shen nodded, she left the Lord's Hall with the three senior talents. Only Colby and Favid were left in the room.

After all the corresponding matters were arranged, Zong Shen felt much more relaxed.

As the territory grows, the roles and responsibilities of his heroic talents become more and more prominent.

"call!"

Zong Shen exhaled and looked at Favid and Colby.

"Boys, I kept you waiting for a long time..."

"In the future, you will play a greater role in the territory."

He looked at the two of them with encouraging eyes.

This made Colby and Farvid sit upright involuntarily, with solemn expressions and prepared for battle!
