Chapter 70: Fossils turn into mud?

After spending some time, Zeus told his chief clerk about the relevant matters of the Banshee. As for the specific abilities and symbiotic contract of the Banshee, he did not explain in detail. This was his trump card, and it would be more effective if it was hidden.

Alexei's mouth opened wide. He and Zeus came to Castel together, and at that time he hadn't even prepared the paperwork for the island. How could Zeus have already gained the loyalty of an extraordinary race?

As a graduate of the Imperial Army Academy, Alexei had naturally heard of the supernatural beings. This group of people was very mysterious. Although they were powerful, they hardly participated in worldly affairs and would not go to the battlefield. The Imperial military had very few interactions with them.

Alexei didn't expect that there would be extraordinary beings in his territory, and in a group of them. How could he not be shocked?

Of course, what surprised him even more was that this group of extraordinary races were actually willing to participate in worldly affairs.

The churches of the Candlelight Society stood in almost every corner of the empire, but almost no one had ever seen their extraordinary people. The White Crow Duchy in the north was about to be destroyed by the White Disaster, and only occasionally did extraordinary people show up.

Alexi couldn't help swallowing his saliva if these banshees could be thrown onto the battlefield.

"They are my subjects and have the right to choose their own future. Unless there is an emergency that endangers Castel, I will not recruit them." Hughes glanced at him and saw what he was thinking.

Zeus does not intend to rely on the Banshee on the battlefield. Defending their homeland is everyone's responsibility, but if it comes to foreign wars, Zeus still plans to develop industry on his own.

Telepathic links are strong, but so is radio. Magic is good, but so are planes and battleships.

Since he has no intention of becoming a god, he will believe in the power of mortals.

Human beings are a great race, and he is always willing to believe in humans.

"Anyway, let's not talk about these distant topics. I'll tell you in detail about pollution. Have a piece of candy. Although you should know a lot, it's better to be careful when facing cognitive barriers."

"good"

After some narration.

".This is pollution. As you know, there are two parts: physical pollution and cognitive pollution."

It has been verified that conceptual pollution can turn into physical pollution under certain conditions, but it is not known whether physical pollution can pollute concepts.

Zeus narrowed his eyes. The information he knew now was still not enough. There were still too many unknowns in this interesting world waiting for him to explore.

"There is a lot of pollution now, stored in the caves on the east side of Castel Island. It's very desolate over there, and no one would go there. I also asked Connor to arrange people to guard it."

"Of course, there are also banshees guarding in secret."

Over in the grotto, he had deposited the pollution in a hollow, which was almost all the physical pollution brought about by the cognitive interference of soap and nitroglycerin, and the amount was quite terrifying.

"You must be careful not to send anyone nearby. Other than that, there is nothing else to do. Resume the production of the soap and olive oil factories as soon as possible. I will find a way to train more qualified workers in a short period of time and restart the nitroglycerin factory as quickly as possible."

"Okay, Lord, it's about the pollution. What are your plans?"

"It's not really a plan, just a little guess."

Hughes took the notebook from Alexei and put it back in his pocket.

"Before, Monica was blessed by a large amount of pollution and gained great power. Does this mean that these pollutions contain a lot of..."

".energy?"

Alexei's eyes slowly opened.

In the cave of the banshees.

"These are the magics we have mastered."

Ash handed Hughes some papers.

"Actually, I'm a little curious. Your magic cannot be learned by other races, so can you learn and use it among each other?"

Hughes asked as he flipped through the book.

"We can share some usage experience, but we can't let people who don't know this magic learn it out of thin air."

"So the Banshee, who doesn't know magic, can only wait for time to pass, and then suddenly one day she will master these magics, and then gradually become proficient through hard practice, right?"

"Yes."

It seems that this magical ability is closer to some kind of instinct.

"Okay, Ash, please release the magic one by one so I can see the effect."

"As you wish."

Ash swung his snake tail and stepped forward.

A moment later—

Xius rubbed his eyebrows and paced slowly.

The magic of these banshees really shocked him. Some offensive magic was fine, as it was within his comprehension. But what was the principle of summoning the sea snake? He didn't feel anything when he was playing games on Blue Star, but it was completely different when this happened in front of him.

A sea snake appeared out of nowhere and circled around Ash for a few times under his control. Zeus asked Ash to stop controlling it, and the sea snake came to his feet with some curiosity, rubbed his feet tentatively, and looked up to see his reaction.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

This is a real, intelligent creature that was created out of thin air by magic! ? Not to mention, following Ash's command, the sea serpent disappeared.

Zeus looked at the open space in front of him, then looked at Ash not far away.

Does this conform to the law of conservation of energy?

"My lord, the sea snake is not actually a physical entity. I used magic." She got stuck halfway through her sentence and gestured hard with her six hands.

"Your magic power shaped its form, so when you withdraw your magic power, its form will naturally disappear?"

"Yes!"

This spell should be of great use, but Zeus couldn't think of it for the moment. He looked at the spell list on the paper again.

"Can this fossilized mud be released on steel?"

"Not really. I tried it and it didn't work."

Hughes once wanted to try making a steam engine by hand, but got stuck at the stage of making the parts. He had tried his best to divide the parts of the steam engine as small as possible, but some things just could not be made.

For example, cylinders.

This is the core part of the steam engine. The steam enters the cylinder and pushes the piston inside to move. This part has two requirements: a smooth interior and no air leakage.

Strength and the like could even be put on the back burner, he could simply thicken the cylinder wall to ensure it, but he could not meet these two requirements no matter what.

The most normal way to process this kind of integral pressure-bearing component is to use a boring tool on a lathe to dig a hole in the middle of a whole piece of metal. This is far beyond the processing capacity of a blacksmith shop. If it is manufactured in two parts and then put together, although the inside can be polished smooth relatively easily, it absolutely cannot be used as a cylinder, and it cannot be sealed or pressure-bearing.

As for casting, Castel Island simply does not have the ability to cast such large parts, but it may be possible to do so in the Rhine.

This is the upper limit of material processing technology in this era, and he has to try to find a breakthrough in magic.

"Why not?" Hughes frowned and muttered to himself.

"Because it turns fossils into mud." Ash said as a matter of course, "It only works on stone."

"Iron ore is also stone. Can it work on iron ore?"

Ash was stunned.
