Accident
In fact, what the three of us discussed was nothing more than the future profit distribution. On the surface, crystal steam technology is just a weapon, but that is the result of random speculation by people who do not know the industry. The Japanese are actually using gold as bricks when making magic crystal steam bombs. It is possible that the Japanese themselves do not know its actual value, or they know it but cannot use it, or the Russians are technologically inferior to the Japanese and deliberately do not Let them take full advantage of magic crystal steam technology.
In short, magic crystal steam technology is not only used to make bombs, just like petroleum can be processed into weapons such as napalm, but its real significance lies in its powerful energy and chemical uses. The process of vaporizing magic crystal solids is actually a bit like the cracking process of petroleum. Although magic crystal only produces one product in the end, which is magic crystal steam, its scope of application is not much smaller than that of petroleum products. The previous agreements signed with those guilds were only to weaponize magic crystal steam in the shortest time. It was a temporary agreement to deal with the Japanese magic crystal steam weapons. However, as a research institution, our three guilds finally We will inevitably embark on the path of popularizing magic crystal steam technology, and once this powerful technology is mastered by us, the pattern of the entire world will also undergo major changes. In order to cope with the upcoming changes, we need to reach an agreement in advance, In order to avoid friction between our three major guilds and loss of each other's strength.
In fact, the content of this agreement is very simple. And it's just a framework agreement, without too many specific terms, and it's not very binding. Just a product of compromise. However, because this thing is not very binding, and the three of us have our own fixed spheres of influence, there is not too much wrangling between the three of us. After all, everyone understands their respective strengths, and we don’t take anything we shouldn’t. bump.
The final agreement roughly stipulates that Asia belongs to our Frost Rose Alliance, the Holy Spear Alliance has control of all of North America, and the Iron Crusaders will gain actual dominance in Europe, as for the remaining few. continent. Then it depends on everyone’s strength. What can be eaten in your mouth is called meat.
After we reached an agreement, everyone started signing the agreement. But we were writing well when suddenly we heard a loud bang that shook the whole room. At this time, you can see that the three of us have different strengths. Ashford actually slid directly from his seat to under the table. Then the gun god overturned the chair and flipped to the back along with the chair. I was the only one who didn't fall, but unfortunately broke the pen in my hand.
"What kind of plane are you doing?" I stood up and walked to the wall and patted the crystal stone on the wall. "Military God, what's going on?" "
"Are the Japanese coming?" Ashford asked as he got up from the ground.
"No. I just detected an explosion. The location is at the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute. It's the only one inside the city, not an external attack."
"I'm sorry, you two. I have to go check on the situation first. Since the agreement has been reached, it doesn't matter when you sign it. Do you want to wait until I finish processing it before signing it, or do you want to leave and find another time?"
"We'd better go with you first to see what's going on." Ashford said, and the Gunslinger nodded in agreement.
When we walked out of the room in Essinger Ground City, we saw thick smoke billowing from a location in the hanging Essinger Sky City above our heads. There were also serious fires in several nearby areas. It seems that the power of the explosion just now was very powerful, otherwise it would not have been felt by the explosion in Sky City and even in the ground city.
After arriving at Essinger Sky City with the Gunslinger and Ashford, we realized that the actual damage was much more serious than imagined. Many buildings here had varying degrees of damage, but thanks to Essinger's buildings The style is mainly tall and majestic, so the buildings are relatively heavy. Most of the large fortress-like buildings had only the decorations and windows on their exterior walls damaged. The main structure was basically unaffected, but because all the damage was to the exterior walls, the damage looked very heavy.
The gunman saw the bombed-out buildings and laughed and taunted me: "I thought only we Americans would be attacked by terrorists. I didn't expect you to be worse than me!"
"Go, who told you this was a terrorist attack?"
So-called terrorist attacks are generally carried out in public places by exploiting the loopholes in regulatory authorities' weak monitoring of ordinary civilians, and such attacks generally have one main characteristic. That is, the locations that were attacked were all places with a large flow of people and complex environments, but what was bombed now was our guild's Magic Crystal Power Research Institute. That's a scientific research unit, let alone an outsider. No unrelated players in the guild can enter, so how can they be attacked? Besides, only one-third of the entire Essinger Sky City is open to lay guild members. The other areas are prohibited for lay guild members to enter. The best network of the Magic Crystal Dynamics Research Institute is in the non-open area. How can I say this? Doesn’t it make sense!
"President!" We were rushing towards the place where the explosion occurred, and suddenly we ran into a player who was bombed and disgraced, and he only had one arm left, and he had a different body shape. Hey, it’s good to go out to read novels
"Do you know the situation of this fruit?" I asked while summoning Xiaochun to treat the other party.
The player looked like he was about to cry and suddenly knelt down. "President, kill me!"
"What are you doing? Why did there be an explosion?"
"It's all my fault!" After the guy said this, he threw himself on the ground and cried.
"Don't cry! Tell me what's going on? The best way for you to redeem yourself is to let us solve the problem as soon as possible, otherwise the losses caused by you will become bigger and bigger!"
When I said that, the guy immediately recovered. He was crying and talking about what happened. After listening, Ashford and I both looked surprised. As for the Gunslinger, that guy is now A cold sweat broke out on my forehead, for no other reason. Just because of those drawings we got at the Snow Demon's House before.
At that time we were robbing someone else's property. So there was no time to identify what those drawings actually were. At that time, Gunslinger and I just confirmed that those things were some kind of technical drawings and put them away without looking at them in detail. Later, in order to save time, we threw the drawings directly to the research institute as soon as we came back. But what people didn't expect was that the institute exploded just as we were having a meeting, and the reason turned out to be that drawing. When I returned from Russia, I reached an agreement with the Gunslinger, and our guild was responsible for studying the drawings, mainly because our guild's technical analysis capabilities are much better than those of the Holy Spear Alliance. That's why the Gunslinger didn't grab it from me. Besides, we are all in this, under the technical system, and in the end the data will be shared, and it won’t make much difference who does the research. It was only now that the Gunslinger lamented that it was a good thing he didn't take a copy back to study, otherwise his guild would probably be in ruins now.
Our guild's Magic Crystal Power Research Institute itself is protected by a protective shield. Firstly, it protects the internal research institute from being destroyed by external attacks. Secondly, it is to prevent accidents. Although today's explosion caused a certain impact, it was thanks to this protective shield, otherwise the damage would have been even worse.
However, the Gun God's Holy Spear Alliance does not have such protective measures, and compared with our guild, the Holy Spear Alliance has piles of gunpowder everywhere. If there were a series of big explosions, it would definitely level the entire city. The gunman's forehead was sweating when he thought of this.
According to that member, the things recorded on the drawings we got back were not the design drawings of the stabilizer processing equipment we thought before, but the technical equipment magic crystal steam energy equipment we were just discussing. design diagram. Our guild's Magic Crystal Power Research Institute quickly figured out the principle of this production equipment after getting this drawing, but it takes time to build the production equipment. So they were thinking about whether they could use laboratory methods to get some finished products to see the effect. The result was naturally a direct result of the explosion. Originally, according to the rules and regulations established by our guild, unidentified energy substances like this need to be safely tested in a special experimental site before they can be taken to the research institute for further research, but the player in charge of this project in front of me was too excited at the time. , and everyone was anxious to know the results, so they ignored the safety operating regulations and experimentally produced some finished products. Who knew that although that thing was used as a power raw material, it also needed to be stabilized for safe storage. As a result, when they finally produced the thing, it exploded, and the power was so powerful that it bombed the entire Magic Crystal Power Research Institute. Half of it collapsed, if it weren't for the energy restraint equipment and the one outside. The protective cover suppressed most of the explosion energy. It is estimated that the institute and a large area nearby will have to be completely destroyed.
"The lights are on. We understand the situation. Now is not the time to cry. You go to the medical unit for treatment first. I will take care of it here."
This explosion not only destroyed half of the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute, but also killed and injured a large number of senior researchers. The players among these people were fine, but they could not be resurrected. This loss is absolutely terrifying. Yes, but there's no point getting angry. Things have already happened. All we can do is deal with the aftermath as much as possible.
Under the command of the God of War, nearby troops and engineers soon rushed over to start clearing the ruins and rebuilding the institute. Now is the time to work on magic crystal steam weapons. It cannot be without the participation of the Magic Crystal Power Research Institute, and its research work must be resumed immediately. In addition, the dangerous substance that caused the explosion must be immediately sent to a specialized research institute for analysis. . This thing is said to be an energy substance, but it is more powerful than the magic crystal steam bomb. According to the researcher, they extracted a total of one drop of that substance at that time, and the result was that it caused so much damage. How powerful must it be? If this kind of thing can be turned into a bomb, then there is the possibility of sinking a battleship with a ballpoint pen and leveling a city with a glass of beer. It is terrifying to think about it! (To be continued)
