Chapter 293: Biological Starch Development Anti-Magic Purification Factory
His Majesty the Great Emperor has returned to his loyal home of Essenland.
In the palace, Richard looked at the more than two hundred witches in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. These witches had completed their studies and were now able to work alone. More than two hundred witches will be of great help to him in what he is going to do next.
Next, Richard began to reward those who performed outstandingly in battle. The new Austrian Empire no longer enfeoffed, and the nobles only had some rewarded manors and part of the tax annuity.
Richard did not intend to send all these witches to serve as officials in various places, but only sent some of them. Some of the remaining witches maintained the witch academy and some started to help him build the wizard tower.
As soon as he occupied Essenland, Richard selected a suitable place outside the city and gave Karina an architectural drawing and asked Karina to be responsible for building the wizard tower.
A large number of slaves were sent here, and the Wizard Tower was built very quickly. With the help of more than a dozen witches, the Wizard Tower completed the main building. It's just that the energy circuits, element pools, tower spirits, rune arrays, etc. inside have not been built.
These things need to be presided over by Richard himself. Richard is going to take the witches to build it together and give them on-site teaching. After all, no matter how perfect and detailed the things mentioned in the book are, nothing can compare to doing it yourself.
So three days after Richard came back, he formally summoned all the witches and led them to start building the wizard tower.
"The wizard tower is very important to the wizard. The wizard tower can exponentially increase the wizard's strength. Even a qualified low-level wizard tower can resist a high-level wizard under the control of a low-level wizard."
"In addition to the normal ability to increase the strength of wizards, the wizard tower is also an important place for wizards to practice, live, and research."
"A successful mage must have a mage tower. You will also need to build your own mage tower in the future."
As he spoke, Richard waved his hand gently, and saw a phantom enveloping everyone, and then a magnificent mage tower appeared in front of everyone. Next, Richard introduced the structure, runes, energy circuits, etc. of the mage tower.
After the explanation was completed, Richard divided the construction of the wizard tower into various areas for the witches to practice, while he was responsible for guiding them and making sure that they pointed out any mistakes.
Soon two hundred witches were carving runes on the wizard tower. At first, many witches made mistakes when carving runes. However, under the guidance of Richard, they continued to make progress. After about a week, these witches were able to complete and correct the runes. Runes and seals are engraved on it.
The entire wizard tower required more than hundreds of thousands of runes to be carved, and it took more than two hundred witches a month to complete this task.
In fact more than half of the work was completed in the last week.
Next, Richard led the witches to complete the laying of energy channels, sort out the earth energy, and build a earth energy pool. Seeing the continuous flow of leyline energy entering the energy pool, the elemental concentration of the entire wizard tower increased rapidly, and all the witches' eyes sparkled with light.
"The energy of the earth's veins cannot be used without limit. Excessive use of the energy of the earth's veins will cause the death of the surrounding land. Therefore, under normal circumstances, only 20% to 30% of the energy can be used."
"But this energy can only supply a low-level wizard tower. In order to build a high-level wizard tower, we need to build an elemental pool."
Richard personally made an elemental pool, and then connected the four elemental planes. Light blue elemental water continuously flowed out from the energy channel in the middle of the elemental pool.
"With an elemental pool, a wizard tower can be considered a real wizard tower."
Everyone felt the rich concentration of elements around them, and they were all shocked. In the past, they needed to absorb elemental energy into their bodies to transform into their own magic power, but the elemental energy here was completely forced into their bodies. ah.
In this environment, even if you don't know how to practice, even simple breathing can draw elemental energy into your body.
"Don't think that a high concentration of elements is a good thing. Being in this environment all year round will lead to addiction." Richard poured cold water on everyone.
"The concentration of normal cultivation elements is much lower. You can only use this to break through when you make a breakthrough."
After completing the element pool, Richard made a legendary tower spirit as the control center of the wizard tower. Richard did not intend to build a floating tower in this world.
With the energy level of this world, there is no need for such a tall thing. A single phoenix can eliminate all threats and enemies.
The main function of the Wizard Tower is to further purify anti-magic metals and allow witches to practice here. By the way, there is also a biosynthetic furnace to produce starch biscuits.
Richard is preparing to draw an energy channel from the floating tower to supply the ecological factory to operate and produce starch biscuits.
The raw materials are various potatoes, sweet potatoes, wood, leaves, various animals and the corpses of monsters, etc. Even the highest yield of starch biscuits is the corpses of various monsters.
Most of these monster corpses have demonic energy, and when transformed in the ecological furnace, the energy produced is also the highest. When these starch biscuits were delivered to the mine, these slaves who were accustomed to eating black bread were so excited that they almost shed tears when they tasted the sweet starch biscuits.
"The wizards are so kind, giving such good biscuits to these slaves!" said the guarding soldier.
"Yes, it's too merciful. They only deserve to eat bark, grass roots, sawdust, and black bread made of rye!" said another soldier.
"These biscuits taste sweet and have a light salty taste. I swear, they are definitely made of high-quality wheat flour, and salt and oil are added to them!"
"We are now eating this kind of biscuits. Thank you, wizards."
"But how can those slaves eat the same thing as us!"
"I heard that the higher-ups have reported to the wizards, and other types of starch biscuits will be delivered next month. I heard that there are milk-flavored biscuits with milk and fruit-flavored biscuits with fruit. By the way, there is also a drink that can be drunk by just adding boiling water. It is said that sugar is added to it."
"Is this true? The wizards are so great! Praise the great wizards!"
After the construction of the wizard tower was completed, the ecological factory also began to produce at full capacity. A large number of plants and animals were thrown in and transformed into starch biscuits, and then began to be sold on the market.
By the way, in order to increase the diversity of food, it will be made into a state similar to flour so that people can buy it and make bread by themselves. The price of these foods is very low, and they can be exchanged for various foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, oats, rye, wheat, etc.
Since the introduction of this kind of food, more and more people have begun to replace food with this kind of starch biscuits that are easy to store.
For those poor people, starch biscuits are the best food. You only need to cook a pot of hot soup and then add starch biscuits to make a pot of sweet paste.
It only took one month for starch biscuits to become popular throughout the Austrian Empire and are still spreading to other countries.
This kind of food that is cheap, tastes good, is easy to transport, store and can fill the stomach has been sought after by civilians. Even many nobles have replaced flour with starch. After all, starch is whiter and tastes better (after all, magic spices are added), and it tastes very good when made into white bread.
Of course, Richard and the witches don't eat this kind of starch. Richard opened up a large ecological botanical garden in the wizard tower. There is a breeding farm in the botanical garden, which breeds various magical animals, and the botanical garden next to it is a variety of magical plants.
Richard and the witches' food sources are all produced here, and then made into magical dishes, which not only taste great, but also improve physical fitness and magic power. By the way, various magic potions, including the raw materials of potions for knight advancement, also come from here.
In this way, all knights are basically controlled by Richard.
After completing the wizard tower, Richard began to build an anti-magic metal purification factory. The technology used is to heat the anti-magic metal into liquid, and then pass it through a special magic isolation layer.
This separation layer will separate other metals or substances in the anti-magic metal, so as to obtain anti-magic metal of sufficient purity. Of course, many separation layers are needed to separate all other metals and substances.
Each classification layer can separate a metal molecule or other substance, and each layer requires strong magic support.
Richard prepared a thousand layers of magic separation layers. After a thousand layers of separation, the original 90% purity of anti-magic metal can be purified to 99.99% purity.
The large element pool built by the wizard tower can easily supply the consumption of this anti-magic metal purification factory.
This separation anti-magic metal purification factory is also the only way for this world to industrially produce high-purity anti-magic metal.
Richard used high-temperature separation method to purify high-purity anti-magic metal in the laboratory.
The production capacity of anti-magic metal mined from the mine is not high. Anti-magic metal ore is also a rare mineral in this world. Although all countries have anti-magic minerals, the largest number is the Kingdom of Nilfgaard in the south and Redania and Temeria in the north.
The anti-magic metal purification factory built by Richard has a large output. The anti-metal veins of the Offa Empire alone are not enough to provide enough raw materials. Therefore, it is necessary to control all other veins in order to produce at full capacity.
The anti-magic metal smelting plant can not only smelt anti-magic metal ores, but also smelt other metals, and the quality is far superior to the metals of other countries in this world.
Even the weapons forged by the dwarves in this world are not as good as here.
Some of these metals are used to forge weapons, and the other part is made into farm tools to replace the farmers' wooden tools. The popularization of metal tools can further increase food production, and then allow more people to go mining.
The surrounding countries were very surprised to see that the Offa Empire actually sold a large number of starch biscuits. At this time, food was hard currency and a strategic resource, so they all used the power of the country to purchase it.
These countries did not know that the food production of the Offa Empire increased tenfold, and many people still fantasized about buying out the starch biscuits of the Offa Empire.
During this period of time, Richard began to clear out various monsters in the Offa Empire, such as water ghosts, alien monsters, human-faced monster birds, water ghost grandmothers, ghouls, rock trolls, demon spirits, Andereg insects, crab spiders and other monsters.
These monsters were entrenched in various parts of the kingdom, and Richard directly asked the witch to lead the blood knights to clear them out. If there were usable materials on these monsters, they would be thrown into the ecological park for breeding. If they were useless, they would be directly thrown into the ecological transformation factory for recycling.
Most monsters are a disaster for ordinary people, but facing a witch and a team of blood knights, they basically can't even fight back.
It's too easy to deal with these monsters with national power. Only when you encounter some valuable monsters will you be willing to deal with them.
"Dongdongdong!"
"Come in." Avril put down the magic book in her hand.
"Sister Avril." A petite and beautiful witch came in and greeted happily.
"Why is Nicole so happy?"
"Sister, the scout just sent a message that a group of griffins were found in the Kanas Mountains." Nicole said excitedly.
"The witch in charge said she wanted to capture these griffins and tame them as mounts."
"Sure, they can't deal with those griffins?" Avril asked?
Nicole nodded and said, "Griffins are fierce and violent. Once caught, they would rather die. And they are not sure they can capture all the griffins alive."
"Okay, I'll catch them." Avril said, "You can ask His Majesty to tame the griffins."
"I know, Sister Avril is the best!" Nicole hugged Avril and rubbed against her like a puppy.
"Okay, don't please me. I'm only responsible for helping you catch the griffins. In the end, you can ask His Majesty to tame them yourself." Avril stretched out her jade finger and tapped Nicole's nose.
Soon the two led people to the Kanas Mountains. Griffins usually build nests on the edge of cliffs to avoid other animals attacking the young. This kind of monster is strong and can easily carry humans. There are also cases of successful griffin taming in history.
But the success rate is very low. This time the witches want to tame the griffins to use them as a means of transportation. After all, teleportation spells are not so easy to learn. If there are griffins to travel, it will be much more convenient.
Soon the group arrived at the destination, and saw more than a dozen creatures with lion bodies, eagle wings and heads on the cliff. Avril immediately used a spell to fly up.
After a group of griffins saw Avril, they immediately launched an attack, and as a result, more than a dozen spiritual lights flew out instantly and hit the griffins directly.
——【Weak Light! 】
The originally aggressive griffins immediately became weak and powerless, and their bodies became shaky.
——【Dragon Power Shock! 】
Having the blood of a giant dragon, and using magic to magnify the dragon's power several times, it burst out instantly. These griffins were frightened and fell down one after another, and were instantly caught by the blood knights who had been waiting for a long time.
