Chapter 367 The Coming War
After the design was finalized, Richard was not in a hurry to mass produce.
The machines in his alchemy workshop currently produce all parts for magic support vehicles. If he wants to change to produce individual armor, Richard must make drastic changes to these machines.
Secondly, it is useless for him to produce this thing now.
Military expenses are not obvious during wartime, but they become particularly prominent in peacetime.
Richard has not yet received accurate information about the plane war, and producing armor in advance is a waste of money.
Equipment cannot be produced, they need maintenance.
Putting aside the armor for the time being, Richard's life returned to peace again.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was a hundred years.
In the laboratory, the evolutionary illumination device emitted a faint blue light, covering a piece of flesh and blood.
Behind the light, a blue and somewhat weird flame was quietly burning in the crystal cover.
Under the irradiation of light, the cells that make up the flesh and blood soon began to disintegrate, and the tissue fluid and cell debris turned into a pool of pus that kept dripping from the flesh and blood.
Suddenly, the blue light disappeared.
A tiny magic tentacle came over the flesh and blood and took off a small piece of flesh and blood.
"Finally, it succeeded. It's worth my effort to use this original blue fire as a radiation source."
Richard stood in front of the test bench and carefully merged the flesh and blood that the magic tentacle stuck to into his body.
This is the sixth generation of enhanced cells. For this cell, Richard has been experimenting for nearly seventy years. In the end, Richard was forced to take the original blue fire out of the secret realm and upgrade the evolutionary illumination device before he succeeded.
After placing the sixth generation of enhanced cells, Richard sighed slightly: "Alas, with the improvement of physical fitness, enhanced cells are becoming more and more difficult to obtain."
It took him nearly thirty years to go from the fourth generation to the fifth generation. And it took him seventy years to go from the fifth generation to the sixth generation.
If he wants to obtain the seventh and eighth generations, this time may become longer.
However, compared with other wizards, this is already a rapid improvement.
After five iterations of cells, Richard's body has reached 250 points. If he can complete the iteration of the sixth generation of enhanced cells, his physical fitness should be able to increase by five or six points.
The experiment was successful, Richard cleaned up the test bench and left the laboratory after a long absence.
Outside the wizard tower, the Far North City is extremely prosperous.
After years of development, the Far North City has become a large city with a population of nearly two million. Although this city is smaller than those college cities built by white wizards in the central part of the wizard world with a population of more than 10 million, it is the most prosperous city in this far north.
The urban area built by Tosio has long been razed, and buildings of various styles have sprung up in the urban area.
In the sky, small airships with shop advertisements are flying over the city. On the ground, alchemy locomotives and carriages are traveling on the same road together.
Due to the prosperity of the Far North City, fur, wood, medicinal materials and other resources from the Far North have finally been valued by merchants on the mainland.
A large number of airship chambers of commerce have included the Far North City in their trade routes, which has further stimulated the development of the Far North City.
The current Far North City has become a dream city and a kingdom of God on earth in the mouths of the snowfield people.
Richard flew over the city and looked at the prosperous city on the ground. A sense of strangeness suddenly flashed through Richard's heart.
In recent years, he has not paid much attention to the development of the Far North City.
His impression of the Far North City is still in the last period of great expansion, which is the scene he saw when he returned from the mountain secret realm.
After more than a hundred years of development, the city has gradually become something he doesn't recognize.
"The power of mortals should not be underestimated. Alas, it's a pity." Richard sighed slightly.
Although the power of mortals is not small, in this world with extraordinary power, these mortals are destined to be vassals of extraordinary people.
Just as Richard sighed, a breath instantly attracted his attention.
He moved his gaze towards the direction of the Garlon Wizard Academy. In the distance, a stream of light was approaching the Far North City.
"Three-ring wizard? Which three-ring wizard would come to the Far North... Stio! Long time no see!"
Richard looked at the stream of light and was originally confused, but after the stream of light approached, his dragon eyes saw through the layer of light outside the wizard and saw the wizard's true appearance.
Soon, the stream of light stopped in front of Richard, revealing Stio with iron-gray skin.
Stio looked at Richard and said in surprise: "Richard, your progress is really fast! It's only been more than a hundred years since we last met, and your physique has improved so much.
If I wait for one or two thousand years, you will probably become a great wizard."
Richard smiled and replied: "Okay, I'll borrow your good words. When I become a great wizard, I will ask you to be the vice dean."
After a few more jokes, Richard welcomed Stio into the wizard tower.
"You didn't even tell me you were coming. I don't have any tea for guests. You can just make do with it and drink some of what I usually use to refresh myself."
In the living room, Richard casually took out a bottle of black liquid from his pocket and handed it to Stio.
Stio took the bottle, looked at it for a few seconds, and then put it directly into his mouth, chewing the bottle and the liquid together and swallowing them into his stomach.
As soon as the thing entered his stomach, a hint of surprise flashed across Stio's face.
"My goodness, what is this thing, it's so strong."
Steo felt that after swallowing this bottle of liquid, he became more energetic, even more energetic than after meditation.
"This is a demonized plant extract that I cultivated myself. It is one hundred and thirty times more toxic than sweetheart poison. It only takes half a milliliter to kill a wizard. But for us..."
Richard took out another bottle of extraction liquid from his pocket and drank it all in one gulp.
"It's just a refreshing drink."
"Yes, yes, I learned something again." Stio replied in surprise after hearing this, "I didn't expect that this kind of nerve agent can also be used as a stimulant."
The two of them sat down, and Richard was the first to speak: "Steo, I think you came in such a hurry, you don't look like a guest.
What, what happened? "
"Haha, you can see it." Stio laughed, "I plan to go to the Tower of Truth to buy something this time. By the way, you probably don't know yet, our college is expected to go on an expedition in a few years. . You'd better be prepared during this time.
I heard that the world I went to this time was not ordinary. Around that world, exploring wizards found many things like the remains of floating cities.
The world we go to this time is probably the battlefield where the lost people fought against a certain civilization, and there are unknown monsters and monsters hidden in it. "
Richard was shocked when he heard the news.
"Why didn't the college notify us of such important news in advance?" Richard said angrily, "I haven't heard any news about this war until now."
"Hehe, don't get excited, don't get excited." Stio said with a smile, "Our college usually releases news five years in advance. Because I live inside the college, I am a little better informed."
"That means I have at least five more years."
"right."
Richard leaned back in his chair, his mind in a state of confusion.
But he soon calmed down. He still had at least five years, and he must do something during these five years.
There must be huge dangers in the battlefields that Forerunner went to, and he is a three-ring wizard. Once he participates in a war, the place he goes to will definitely be the most dangerous battlefield.
The battlefield command will not send Richard to a battlefield that only requires a second-level wizard just because he is too young.
"Huh, this is breaking news." Richard let out a long breath and looked at Stio with some gratitude, "When we get back to the academy, I'll treat you to dinner."
Stio laughed when he heard this: "Haha, that's a good feeling. But you have to be prepared. If you treat me, I will eat the most expensive one."
Soon, Steo left.
After sending him away, Richard immediately entered the secret realm.
Since war is coming, he naturally has to be fully prepared.
In the alchemy workshop, the salamander workers were performing alchemical processing on each rough component.
The alchemy workshop has expanded several times, and now there are nearly two thousand salamander workers in this alchemy workshop.
Ten production lines were started at the same time, just to provide parts for the strong trade of magic support vehicles.
"Carion! Sulina!"
Richard's voice made the two leaders of the Salamander craftsmen walk out of the workshop.
"Sir, what do you want from us?"
"Production is suspended, and all these machines will be moved to Chiyang World."
"Ah?" Carlion was startled and asked quickly, "What happened, sir?"
Richard looked at him and replied in a deep tone: "War is coming, Carion.
War is coming! "
…
Preparations for the relocation of the workshop were quickly completed. As a third-ring wizard, Richard could fly into the sky without using any spells and relying solely on energy control.
And with the blessing of some wind element spells, Richard's speed skyrocketed.
After traveling day and night, it took Richard only three days to reach the Tower of Truth from the Far North. If this were a first-level wizard, it would probably take him more than half a year.
Through the portal of Qingshuang Academy, Richard came to the world of Chiyang again.
…
A team of salamanders carried a huge furnace out of the crack in the secret realm, and immediately after, a salamander craftsman came to Richard's side.
"My lord, this is the last machine."
Richard nodded: "Okay, restore the production line as soon as possible. I will give you three months to train a group of qualified workers on New World Island as soon as possible."
"Yes, sir."
After hundreds of years of development, New World Island has also changed greatly. Although Richard's Chiyang chrysanthemum veins in Chiyang World have already been mined. But thanks to the existence of the permanent fiefdom, Richard's teleportation array still exists, and the salamanders can purchase various resources from the wizarding world through the channels of the Richard Jorrod Chamber of Commerce.
This also means that New World Island does not lack resources.
And since there is not much entertainment available on New World Island, the artistic atmosphere on New World Island has become very rich.
Even the Salamander warriors were affected by this trend and made their fighting skills more precise and beautiful.
Richard was flying in the air, looking at the well-organized New World Island, and couldn't help but praise: "
Akara, Azuhan, you have done a good job running this place over the years. "
"These are all for your help, Lord Richard." Azuhan said calmly.
After being humiliated by Richard, Azuhan finally faced the bleak reality - the Salamander lived better under Richard's hands.
With Akala's support, he re-emerged as the leader of New World Island.
Richard shook his head slightly: "Don't be modest, resources alone can't accomplish anything. I also have a city in the wizard world, and managing a city is too troublesome."
The two fire lizards did not respond, silently waiting for Richard's next words.
"This time I came here, in addition to moving the workshop here, there is another thing to do."
"You say." Akara said respectfully.
"Do you remember the contract we signed?" Richard looked at the fire lizard warriors in the martial arts field and said slowly.
"Now, you should pay the blood tax."
