Chapter 277 Drones and Toxic Weapons
In the dark underground city, a huge building was modified by Amber to become his weapons testing site.
A four-wing drone smaller than a palm flew up from the ground and quickly headed forward.
Dozens of suspended ropes divide the way forward. The drone must go around several bends to reach the end, and then fire the equipped micro crossbow at the three targets at the end.
It is called a crossbow arrow, but in fact it is just a longer flying needle.
The drone took a full minute to complete the task of covering a distance of more than 50 meters.
Although there were some minor issues with the speed, the overall completion rate was very high, all obstacles were bypassed smoothly, and the final shot hit the target accurately.
Amber released another small metal plane with a perfectly aerodynamic shape.
Without the need for any propellers, the small plane flew out directly, bypassed all obstacles at an extremely fast speed, and hit the target smoothly.
"Yes, the effect is very good. You really get what you pay for."
Excluding labor costs, the cost of a four-wing drone is only five gold coins, but all the materials for this small plane cost two hundred coins, not to mention the more complicated manufacturing process.
This small plane not only carries a more advanced virtual soul with the ability to fly, but also has two miniature jet thrusters installed on it.
It is a smaller version of the jet thruster that Amberxiu carried on his back when he escaped.
It reduces the explosive force, strengthens the effect of continuous spraying, and increases the effect of adjustment control.
The Alchemy City had also wanted to develop this technology. Flying in the form of a jet would definitely be very fast, but they were unable to solve the problem of remote control.
This is an era where long-distance communication is not possible under normal circumstances. If you want to communicate between two places that are far enough away, you can only do it through space transmission, which cannot be shrunk down to an aircraft.
Therefore, remote-controlled aircraft are a completely impossible design to achieve.
The alchemists did think about creating a jet-powered airship, but because aerodynamics was a newly developed subject for them, their airship would be torn apart by the air as soon as it was jet-powered. This plan remained in a state of failure and no breakthrough was made.
If they are given another few decades, there might be a breakthrough, but now, I am afraid that Amber Xiu is the only one who is still persisting in research in this area.
As a science and engineering man who traveled through time, Amberxiu knew a little about aerodynamics, and he could also copy the appearance of the aircraft from his previous life.
As for the issue of remote control, with a virtual soul as the driver, Amberxiu does not need to worry about the issue of remote control.
Therefore, this kind of jet aircraft can be regarded as Ambersu's unique patented product, and even the president of the previous generation of the Alchemist Council had to acknowledge Ambersu's talent.
But although this thing has the advantage of patents, the cost is really... It's not worth it to buy a flying machine that can only shoot nails with more than two hundred gold coins. It's better for a ranger to raise a raven.
However, the four-wing aircraft that cost five gold coins could be improved. For example, by increasing the load capacity, it could be used to transport a lot of things. By adding a recording crystal, it could complete the pathfinding mission as long as it returned safely.
However, jet aircraft are not completely useless. As long as more powerful weapons are developed, the flexibility and speed of this small aircraft will be the nightmare of many adventurers.
Amber put down the two aircraft and walked into another room.
This is a completely sealed space, isolated from all external influences by a magic barrier, and Amber placed several triangular sand lizards inside.
A desert creature with extremely strong vitality, it has very strong regenerative ability and resistance to various toxins. The toxin that can kill a hundred people may cause the triangular sand lizard to have diarrhea for a long time.
Because of this, this triangular sand lizard is the best test subject for biological and chemical weapons.
What Amberxiu wants to play with is not some toxin, but the corrosive dark magic unique to the undead.
As we all know, skeletons cannot farm because the uncontrolled dark magic will corrode all living things, and the things they grow will either rot or be highly poisonous. Unless skeletons are given special protective suits that seal their entire bodies, it is impossible to farm, and the cost of such protective suits is more expensive than a hundred human slaves.
This is also the reason why Amberxiu never thought of using skeletons to farm, because even dogs wouldn’t eat the crops grown.
And because of the extreme toxicity of dark magic, it is very suitable for use as biological weapons.
But the pollution effect of dark magic is a bit special, it is a form of radiation.
Suppose that the lowest-level skeleton emits this highly toxic radiation all the time, but the range is only half a meter at most, and it takes a long time of exposure to produce an effect. It takes at least ten minutes of continuous exposure to produce obvious side effects on living things.
Because most living things have a lot of barriers on their surfaces, humans wear clothes and some even wear armor.
At this time, the radiation effect of dark magic will be very poor. If it encounters a holy knight, it will be completely purified by the holy light and will have no effect at all.
But what if this radiation can directly enter the human body and irradiate the internal organs? Amber took out a small transparent ball, which was a completely sealed membrane, and inside it was a ball of ordinary air.
It is said to be ordinary, but in fact it is not ordinary, because Amber used his artifact gold coin to turn this ball of air into a special "corpse".
The air turns into a corpse, and then it can be possessed by a virtual soul.
However, the air is too fragile. If left alone, the gaseous undead will dissipate on its own. This process only takes about ten seconds, so it must be wrapped up and cannot disperse.
Once dispersed, the unique dark magic of the undead will quickly blend into the air.
Amber threw two transparent balls into the barrier. The membrane was very fragile and when it fell on the triangular sand lizards, it was immediately pierced by the sharp thorns.
The colorless air undead immediately spread into the air and entered the bodies of these triangular sand lizards as they breathed.
The dark magic corroded the lungs directly, causing the triangular sand lizards to twitch and roll in pain. After about half an hour, all of them died. The bodies began to swell, and then their stomachs exploded, and foul black blood splashed everywhere.
Even the triangular sand lizards, which have much stronger resistance than humans, cannot withstand the erosion of dark magic from the inside out. If they were living people... Haha, I hope their holy light can penetrate directly into their internal organs, otherwise they will definitely be hopeless.
Air Undead, this is a powerful weapon that surpasses all poisons and is specifically targeted at all living things.
But the lasting effect is not very good, because once the air undead disperses, it represents complete death, and the dark magic originally condensed by the soul will quickly dissipate.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Amber estimated that within an hour at most, the dark magic in the air would dissipate on its own and slowly return to normal. If it was under the scorching sun, the duration would be shortened to ten minutes.
Therefore, the best way is to operate a drone at night to throw these air undead into the crowd, which will definitely cause huge casualties.
"Yes, if we sell this to Withering Rose, she will definitely take as much as she can."
The cost of air undead is really low, because this kind of undead does not need to have any abilities, and air has zero cost, so each fist-sized air undead costs only a few copper coins.
Amberxiu could easily set up an undead production line specifically for producing canned air, and then he could change its properties and inject it into the simulated souls.
It's a pity that only Amberxiu can complete the task of transforming the nature, which seriously affects production efficiency.
"Teacher said that this legendary grace is a power possessed by a legendary alchemist. I really want to capture him and come work for me."
Amber complained and started writing a list.
Alchemy is a complex subject, and this underground factory is mainly engaged in refining medicines, so metal processing parts have to be customized from other alchemy factories.
Amberxiu plans to ask Gustavo Flynn for help. He should be able to get the lowest price so that he can prepare a large number of drones. As for the mass production of souls, Amberxiu already has some ideas, but it will take time to prepare slowly.
Amber Xiu stuffed dozens of drones of various shapes into his private space, and then prepared to test them on the surface.
Good things need to be marketed, so he plans to find those adventurers to promote them.
Make this drone famous and let every adventurer know that by saying a few words of praise to the God of Alchemy, they can buy this useful and cheap item at a 20% discount, and the God of Alchemy's power will recover faster.
"It's time to go up and see how Harvey is doing."
Amber transformed into human form and came to the surface of the desert.
It is still a desert as golden as gold, and it is still sand that is worthless when you grab it in your hand. This broken place is still so beautiful on the outside but rotten on the inside.
They arrived at Ganlu City, the city closest to the underground factory. The several distributors that Amber found were also from Ganlu City's business groups.
After entering the door smoothly, Amberxiu walked towards the commercial streets.
Soon, Amberxiu saw the bustling crowd. Now that the war situation was stable, Ganlu City began to regain its prosperity.
After walking for a while in the crowd, Amber Xiu saw a tall ice sculpture.
Amber was secretly happy. Harvey was quite smart. He carved out the God of Alchemy. It was a good way to advertise and collect faith, right? This kid was really good. He could understand Amber's real thoughts. I had to praise him later.
But how did this guy keep the ice from melting? Passers-by only looked at it for a few more times, but did not gather around to watch. This ice sculpture had obviously been there for some time.
In other words, this ice sculpture has lasted for so many days and has not melted?
