Volume 19 Chapter 165 The Surprising Research Department
Full of expectations for the guild's attributes, I carefully embedded the Book of Space into the groove.
The moment the Book of Space came into contact with the groove, a strong suction force suddenly appeared in the groove, and it actually sucked the Book of Space in. At the same time, after the Book of Space was completely sucked into the groove, four fixing devices suddenly came out from under the shelf next to it and locked the four corners of the Book of Space with a snap, completely fixing the entire book in the groove. .
After the groove completed all this, the gem in the center of the fixed Space Book suddenly lit up with a faint blue light, and at the same time as this light lit up, all the members of our entire guild suddenly I heard the same system beep. "Congratulations to all players of the Frost Rose Alliance. Due to the completion of the space obelisk in the World Library annex building, all players of the Frost Rose Alliance will receive a special reward titled Space Traveler. All members of the Frost Rose Alliance will reduce the error rate when using the space teleportation array by half. The cost is reduced by half. You cannot be forcibly teleported without your consent. The energy consumption of all teleportation equipment belonging to the Frost Rose Alliance is reduced by half, and all space devices of the Frost Rose Alliance cannot be forcibly connected by external devices."
All the players in our guild were stunned when they heard this prompt, but their subsequent performances were different. Although it is a good thing to reduce the teleportation cost, it actually does not mean much to most players. After all, the teleportation array is like an airplane in the real world. Although everyone can do it, few people actually do it. It will fly around all day long, and most people only use it once or twice occasionally, so this price drop is actually of little significance to most people. In my opinion, the real focus of this reward is not to reduce the teleportation cost for individual players, but to halve the energy consumption of the guild. You must know that in large-scale wars, guilds often need to summon their guild players from all over the world. At this time, the fastest teleportation array is definitely the preferred mode of transportation, but so many members and high-level NPCs must be gathered in a certain place. Fighting, this cost will definitely not be too low. Now the system says it can solve half of the energy consumption problem, which means that our transmission cost can be reduced by at least half. For a guild like ours that fights every day, this is absolutely is a huge benefit.
After listening to the prompts, I roughly understood how to use these three obelisks. Now that the space obelisk has been activated, I should quickly activate the other two obelisks. I quickly ran back to the platform I came up on before, and the platform immediately dropped to the bottom of the obelisk. Then I quickly ran out of the black space obelisk and got into the golden energy obelisk next to it.
The internal structures of these three obelisks may be exactly the same. The things I encountered in the yellow obelisk were exactly the same as those in the previous space obelisk. The only difference is here The metal device asked me to put in the Book of Energy instead of the Book of Space.
When the Book of Energy was completely locked by the four fixing clips with a clang, the gem in the center of the page also lit up like the previous Book of Space. The only difference was that this time it emitted a golden light.
Almost as soon as the golden light lit up, the system prompt rang again. "Congratulations to all Frost Rose Alliance players. Due to the completion of the energy obelisk in the World Library annex, all Frost Rose Alliance players have reduced their magic power consumption by 10% when using skills, and their automatic magic recovery speed has increased by 15%. Among all energy-consuming equipment belonging to the Frost Rose Alliance The overall energy consumption is reduced by 5%, and the automatic charging speed of devices with automatic charging function is increased by 10%.”
Compared to the previous tip, this one is much more exciting. The teleportation array is easy to use. After all, it is not something that everyone uses every day, so no matter how many attributes are added, it will not be intuitive to everyone, but the skill consumption and magic regeneration speed are different. . Which player fights without using skills? It can reduce the magic power consumption by 10%, which means that the skill that could only be fired ten times can now be used eleven times, and according to the rule in "Zero", the higher the magic power consumption, the longer the skill consumption time will be. , reducing the magic power consumption by 10% may also indirectly increase the casting speed. Although it is only 10% faster, if you happen to use the same skill against the enemy, the 10% time saved will definitely make a huge difference in the ending between you and him.
In fact, just like before, in my opinion, these three obelisks should be mainly aimed at strengthening guilds, and their help to players is far less than that of guilds. This 10% reduction in skill consumption and a 15% increase in magic regeneration is indeed of great significance to players, but the 5% reduction in the energy consumption of the guild's energy-consuming equipment is even more terrifying. This means that our guild's magic energy cannons can blast 5% more times, that our protective shield can last 5% longer, and that our guild's mobile angel troops have 5% more reserve energy. In short, the significance is huge. Moreover, the most important point is that this attribute can save money. The magic energy devices in our guild use magic energy refined from magic crystals, and the price of magic crystals, a non-renewable resource, is definitely quite high. Saving 5% of energy consumption means that our guild can save 5% of the money we spend on magic crystals. Believe me, that is definitely a lot of money.
After activating two obelisks in a row, I "touched" the top of the third obelisk with ease. As expected, it was exactly the same device here. After successfully embedding the Book of Time, the system prompt rang immediately.
"Congratulations to all Frost Rose Alliance players. Due to the completion of the Time Obelisk, an annex to the World Library, all Frost Rose Alliance players' combat, movement speed, and skill learning speed have all increased by 5%. All vehicles, all research and development projects, and all Frost Rose Alliance players have increased their combat speed, movement speed, and skill learning speed by 5%. Construction projects and all production will be accelerated by 5%."
Again, just like before, it is far less helpful to players than it is to guilds. But having said that, being able to speed up combat, movement and learning by 5% is quite an amazing ability, not to mention that the benefits gained by the guild will ultimately fall on the players? In short, these three obelisks are all super awesome buildings, with such attributes that they can make the presidents of ordinary guilds envious to death.
Considering that it was a bit unsafe to place such important three books on the top of the tower, as soon as I came down from the top of the tower, I immediately transferred a large group of senior guards from the guild to guard the three obelisks. However, the actual deterrent effect of this kind of defense is far greater than the actual effect. After all, this is inside Isengard. Most people don't dare to play tricks like this. Those who have the ability to cause trouble here must be unable to be stopped by these guards. The presence. However, first of all, there are not many people like that, and secondly, these guards can at least hold the opponent back for a while. When the large force of our guild arrives, no matter what gods and monsters you are, don't even think about leaving.
After arranging the guards here, I ran to say hello to the God of War and learned about the current guild situation. After confirming that there were no major issues that needed attention, I decided to complete the World Tree quest of Mother Earth first. , after all, it’s quite uncomfortable to finish the task halfway and feel that something is always there. However, before I could leave, the God of War suddenly stopped me.
"Is there anything else?"
"The research department asked you to come over."
"What happened again?"
"I don't know the specifics. It seems to be research information on the three books of the world."
"Okay, I understand." After leaving the Army God, I immediately rushed to the research area of the New World Floating Island to see what the researchers had researched. In fact, when it comes to research, I guess I can only research something on the Book of Energy. After all, that book was the first one to find it and it has been kept in the institute for a long time. I brought back the other two books of Medium Space. It didn't take long. As for the Book of Time, the researchers simply didn't see it at all, so even if they had any results, they would only have a little bit related to the Book of Energy.
When I arrived at the research institute, I realized that I seemed to have underestimated the scientific research experts in our guild. Although there was nothing wrong with my previous reasoning, I underestimated the enthusiasm of the researchers. They actually dug out some barely practical technologies from the Book of Energy and the Book of Space in such a short period of time. Although these things are not too advanced, they have achieved results after all.
"Is this the result of your research?" I asked with some confusion, looking at the row of strange devices on the table.
The researcher in charge here immediately came over and explained: "These are experimental machines, but because they are laboratory experiments, we dare not make them too big for fear of danger, so they are so small, but it is easy to enlarge them. "
I nodded and picked up something that looked like an ancient monocular telescope and looked at it from both sides. I was filled with questions after I discovered that there was actually a telescope-like lens inside. Did our guild's research institution go to such great lengths to build a telescope, and it was a single-lens telescope?
Probably knowing that I had gone astray, the researcher in charge immediately took the device in my hand and said: "This thing that looks like a monocular telescope is actually an energy weapon power amplifier that we made using the technology cracked in the Book of Energy. ."
"Energy weapon power amplifier?"
"President, please take a look at the experiment first." When the supervisor said this, several researchers immediately launched a magic light cannon that was only the size of a human head. In terms of the power of the magic light cannon, if it was only this big, it would probably be more than a dozen It would be difficult for the door to have a fatal effect if it hits one person at the same time, but it is just right for experiments.
As the magic light cannon was pushed out, the researcher in charge immediately introduced: "This is a miniature version of the magic light cannon used by our guild. Of course, it does not have much practical value in actual applications. But use it It's just right for the experiment." The researcher in charge took out a piece of wood with a thickness of one centimeter, and then said to me: "This is an ordinary piece of wood, now I activate the magic light cannon." As the magic light cannon started , a beam of radiation immediately ejected from the launch port of the magic light cannon, directly passing through a distance of more than two meters and being absorbed by a piece of absorption equipment that had been placed on the opposite side.
After the magic light cannon was activated, the researcher in charge immediately crossed over the beam with a wooden board. There was a thud, and the lower half of the board fell directly to the ground. The researcher in charge threw away half of the board and said: "You have also seen that the rays fired by the micro magic light cannon can easily cut off a one centimeter thick board. However, if the board is changed to two centimeters thick, The structure will be like this." The researcher in charge changed to a two-centimeter-thick wooden board and repeated the previous experiment. As a result, although there was a burnt black line on the wooden board, it was not completely broken. Apparently the beam is not powerful enough to cut through a two centimeter thick board.
After verifying the ultimate power of the miniature magic light cannon, the researcher in charge turned off the magic light cannon, then supported the previous monocular-like telescope on a stand in front of the magic light cannon, and then he turned on the magic light cannon again. As for the light cannon, the magic light was first emitted from one end of the device, and then emitted from the other end and was absorbed by the absorption device on the opposite side.
After the system was activated, the researcher in charge immediately took a two-centimeter-thick wooden board and scratched it between the magic light cannon and the equipment. At the same time, he was still saying: "We have proven before that this The magic light cannon cannot instantly cut off a two-centimetre-thick wooden board, but now..." He took the wooden board and changed its position in the beam emitted from the front of the device and crossed it again. There was a thud, and half of the plank below fell directly to the ground. Just when I wanted to ask how much power this thing can increase, the researcher in charge took out a two-centimeter-thick steel plate and said: "This is the battleship armor steel produced by our guild, but..." he said He swiped the steel plate in front of the light emitted from the device, and heard a clang, and half of the steel plate fell directly to the ground. "Obviously this kind of steel plate can't block this kind of beam at all."
"How did you do that?" I looked at the telescope-like device in surprise. I almost wanted to snatch it off. Of course, considering that the small magic light cannon next to me was still open, I didn't take action.
The researcher in charge said proudly: "This is all inspired by the Book of Energy, which only contains some simple magic circuits and lens sets. This thing itself is a complete machine that does not require external energy as long as it is not corroded or worn. , it can be used permanently.”
“Is this thing expensive to make?”
"As I said, it's just some simple magic circuits and lenses. Any qualified magic apprentice can make such low-level magic circuits. Even an illiterate ordinary person can follow the model after three days of intensive training. come out, but the yield rate may be a little lower. Of course, that is not a problem for us, because our guild can directly batch print magic array plates with a drum molding machine, so the output will be very considerable. As for the lens, this The difficulty of processing things depends on the caliber of the energy weapon you need to enlarge. After all, lenses with too large a diameter will be more troublesome to process. If we look at the caliber of the energy weapons currently owned by our guild, we basically need lenses They are not very big, and we can produce them in large quantities ourselves.”
"What about the cost?"
"The small magic light cannon costs about ten crystal coins each. The super large magic light cannon on the top of the battleship may cost ten thousand crystal coins. The main reason is that as the caliber increases, the cost of lens production will increase exponentially."
"Ten thousand crystal coins can turn a magic light cannon into a super magic light cannon with six times more power. The price is affordable. What are the remaining items used for? Tell me quickly." With the previous points Things got off to a good start, and now I'm looking forward to the remaining pieces of equipment.
The researcher in charge put down the power amplifier with a smile, and then picked up the second device from the table. This is a super small device, about the same size as a cold capsule, and like the cold capsule, it is made of two colors.
"What's this?"
"Overcurrent protector."
"You mean the energy fuse?"
"almost."
When the researcher in charge nodded, I almost dropped my jaw in shock. "Don't play tricks on me? It's not like I've never seen energy fuses before. Those things are as thick as a bucket, and one can weigh seventy or eighty pounds. Isn't this too small for you?"
"No, this is not a pocket-sized one, this is a one-to-one genuine overcurrent protector, and it is not used ten times like the old-fashioned protector."
The overcurrent protector is actually very useful. It is used by any device that requires explosive energy output, such as the magic crystal cannon that we see most. Don't just use the magic crystal cannon just because you have the magic crystal. That thing is just a money-burning machine. In addition to consuming magic crystals to fire the cannon, the magic crystal cannon itself also needs to consume fuses. Each time the cannon is fired, it will generate a large amount of overflow energy, which cannot be weakened because they are used to position the pressure of the fired energy. If a current-limiting device is used to limit the entry of excess energy, the cannon will fire a stable energy ball instead of a shell that explodes as soon as it hits the ground, so this excess energy must be available. However, because these energies are not fired along with the cannonballs, they will recoil into the cannon's magic array after the cannonballs are fired, thus causing damage to the array itself.
The function of the overcurrent protector is that it is a one-way channel. There will be no problem when energy flows through it to the transmitting device, but when the excess energy recoils into the magic array, it will be blocked by it. However, the protector itself is not invincible. Although it protects the magic circle, it itself will be damaged. Although the protector itself is specially designed for this, so its damage resistance is stronger than the magic array of the magic crystal cannon, but its maximum load capacity is only about ten to twelve times. For safety, everyone generally uses it ten times. Replace it to avoid burning the cannon if the protector is destroyed.
"How much does this thing cost?" I am most concerned about this now. The problem of the previous protector being too large is actually not bad. After all, not all equipment cares about size so much. At least magic crystal cannons usually don't have much requirements on size. What really ties me down is the price. The previous protectors were worth one hundred crystal coins each and had to be replaced after firing ten times. Although compared to the price of cannons, this price is already very cheap, but considering the number of artillery shells that need to be fired in a war, the total price is not cheap at all.
The researcher in charge seemed to have been waiting for me to ask about the price. As soon as he heard me asking how much, he proudly held out three fingers. "Thirty crystal coins each? And each one can be used more than ten times? Doesn't that save more than half of the money?"
After hearing my words, the face of the researcher in charge seemed to bloom as he smiled and said: "It's not thirty, but three. Three crystal coins. Moreover, each of these protectors can guarantee at least It needs to be replaced after thirty firings. Moreover, the replaced protector can be replaced and reinstalled with a simple device similar to a stamping machine. The cost of such reinstallation is twenty crystal coins each. The 'performance' is the same as new. As long as the protector shell is not worn out, it can be reinstalled infinitely, and the average cost is infinitely close to twenty crystal coins each."
