Chapter 304: Waiting for Thunder
When Kaqi and the others saw this, the look of anticipation on their faces faded immediately, they shook their heads and sighed, and nicotine said: "The weight of the spear is still too heavy, and the elasticity is not enough, even when pulled to the full moon, it can only shoot 100 meters away, to hunt big guys. If so, at such a rate of fire, it is estimated that it is difficult to hit, and the distance is too close, and the shooter is too dangerous."
Kachi nodded, "Yes."
Du Di'an looked at the shark spear and fell into contemplation. Although he expected that elasticity would be a problem in advance, he still had the mentality of trying. Now that the facts have been determined, there are only two solutions. The first is to reduce the weight of the spear and change the material. , and the second is to increase the elasticity of the crossbow. If you choose the first point, the lethality is bound to be greatly reduced. Although there are many kinds of lighter synthetic metal materials to choose from, the lethality is sharply reduced. Even if it hits, the effect will be greatly reduced.
As for the second point, the eagle tendon rope is already the best bow rope at present, reaching the limit of elasticity!
After pondering for a moment, Du Dian raised his head and asked Kaqi, Guinness and others to put away these things first, he needed more time to think about it.
Back in the castle, Du Dian let nicotine have breakfast first, and while eating, he read today's newspapers, mainly to observe the dynamics of the temple and the movement of the Mellon family.
"The youngest recipient of the 'era' medal in history, the maker of a legendary new textile machine and a four-star mid-grade military crossbow, Mr. Du Di'an's new magic has been born. It is reported that the new magic is not a wood magic, but An extremely rare thunder magic technique..."
Du Dian flipped through the special newspaper of the temple, and immediately saw the front page above, which was occupied by his own news. You must know that in the past, almost all the news of master-level figures made the headlines. Now, he has seized it. This page is occupied by a mid-level divine envoy. This alone amazes many people, raising Du Di'an's status by a few levels.
Although Du Dian expected that the news of the new magic would be leaked, he did not expect to attract so much attention and was amazed, but he was relieved after thinking about it. And the new textile machine is a legendary item, the key to open an era, its value needless to say, and now the achievement of his third magical work has attracted even more attention than the second item. If this item is identified The result is only a two-star item, or a three-star item, then his reputation will inevitably enter a buffer stage. If the next few magical works are still only two or three-star level, then if you want to make the headlines of the temple special report, it is It is even more difficult, and the myth of "genius" will be shattered and gradually fade out of people's sight.
Du Dian put down the newspaper, rubbed his fingers lightly, and flipped through another newspaper. This was the newspaper of the Mellon Consortium. It was the news of the various industries under the Mellon Consortium. For the vast majority of ordinary civilians, naturally I don't know that the Mellon consortium is behind the scenes of these industries, so the publicity and influence of this newspaper have been greatly improved.
"According to the insiders of the Temple of Elements,
'Genius' Du Di'an has rarely visited the temple recently, and the success rate of the new thunder technique produced this time is extremely low, and the road to genius may die on the road of 'pride'..."
"According to an interview with this newspaper, Aina, the top singer of the Moulin Rouge on Li Street, accompanied Du Di'an to enjoy singing and dancing yesterday..."
Du Di'an turned to the second sheet, and saw his news on a third-line page. After scanning it slowly, he put away the newspaper. The Moulin Rouge's top brand, Aina, may be just an unknown little singer. The invitation from the Mellon consortium, one wanted to discredit him, and the other wanted to be famous, so they hit it off. Although he expected that the Mellon consortium would move, he didn't expect it to be so despicable and vile. Many things were nonsense, completely baseless nonsense, but he couldn't fight back. If he sued the newspaper, he would be held responsible. He will be blamed on the singer. If he sue the singer, his image will inevitably be entangled with the singer. In short, no matter how he fights back, he will be defeated.
This is the method of the Mellon consortium to smear his reputation.
And most common people like this kind of thing, and it becomes the best talk after eating and drinking, and most people believe in evil and doubt good, so the only way for this matter to stick to him is to rely on his own works to speak. .
"A bunch of mouse shit..." Du Di'an's eyes narrowed slightly, although he was calm and rational enough, but still a teenager, the flames in his chest were inevitably burning, and the killing intent was boiling.
Putting away the newspaper, Du Dian finished his breakfast and came to the training ground, stroking and firing the crossbow, thinking about it.
...
...
Elemental Temple, Magic Castle.
Ibiza stood in an empty room, looking at the big guy in front of him with a whole metal spire, holding the design drawings in his hand, carefully observing the various parts on the drawings, as well as the theoretical assumptions, looking at him from time to time. He frowned more and more tightly. After a while, he turned to the second design drawing and continued the tour. When he saw a metal structure like a base, he couldn't help but startled.
"This..." He blinked slightly, looked at it carefully, and said in astonishment, "Is this still possible?"
In the empty room, no one answered his words.
The attendant of the temple stood respectfully by the side, motionless.
Ibiza quickly flipped through the design manuscript. After a while, he suddenly turned around and said to the waiter behind him, "Who made this magic trick?"
"Sorry, Master Yi, this is a secret." The waiter respectfully said.
Ibiza was stunned, wishing to pat his head, confused! He put away the design manuscript, and said, "Today is cloudy and foggy, it should rain tomorrow, and the effect can be tested only when there is thunder. If it is successful..." Thinking of this, his eyelids twitched slightly. If it is as stated in the design manuscript, Then the value of this thing is too great!
You must know that there are many thunderstorms in the rainy season and black snow season. Many residents, including noble castles, will be hit by thunderbolts. It is a trivial matter if the house is damaged. If people are crushed to death, it is bad luck. The number of people who die under natural thunderstorms every year is at least one third of those who die from disaster radiation. This is an extremely terrifying number.
"Yes." When the waiter heard Ibiza's words, he respectfully agreed.
Ibiza put down the design manuscript, turned and left the empty room.
In the blink of an eye, two days passed.
The biggest news in the temple special report in the past two days is undoubtedly Du Dian's new magic, but the biggest news in the noble special report is the fierce friction between the Mellon consortium and the Scott consortium in the mineral industry. The price tug-of-war has already been going on, and it has attracted the attention of nobles from all walks of life. As for the military special report, it is undoubtedly the overseas war that occupies the major pages, leaving no page for other people and things, even for some relatively small. The small page also records the heroic deeds of some soldiers who died in battle.
