Ten thousand I am across the heavens

"Actually, I really only have Sequence Five. When I fight with you, I use the ability that combines the power of natural science and mysticism." Lan Nuo finally successfully integrated into the Silver City.

The more remote and desolate the area, the more people respect strength, just like in the mountains.In those isolated villages, personal force has also become an important criterion for evaluating a person's value.

Although Lan Nuo has not yet demonstrated production and management-related abilities, it has already demonstrated strong combat effectiveness, which is enough to protect many ordinary residents in the city from external monsters.

Colin's expression was serious, as if nothing had happened. An unspoken oath would not be true. It was impossible to eat rotten zombies, even in this life.

At this time, Lan Nuo was being led by Colin to visit the granary in Silver City.There are a large number of black-faced grass seeds accumulated here. These seeds look a bit like highland barley, like untamed wheat.

Just by looking at the seeds, one can only conclude that this is a food crop, the kind of food whose outer shell is difficult to process and which tastes quite rough even when ground into flour.

"Take me to the farmland to have a look. I need to know more about this crop." Food is the most important thing for people. Although the problems of industrialization in the world also need to be solved, the food problem must be solved first.

Colin nodded and took Lan Nuo to the farmland. He did not tell the real secret about the black-faced grass. Under the light of lightning, the farmland in the distance was looming. Among the neat farmland, a lamp A lantern-like torch was hung on the streets between farmlands to facilitate the farmers of Silver City to irrigate these crops.

Lan Nuo observed these plants and later discovered that they grew by absorbing the light released by lightning. The strange thing is that this level of light is theoretically not enough to support photosynthesis, and the organic matter produced by absorption and transformation is not enough for plants to grow. .

But during the observation, Lan Nuo discovered that energy was not conserved. To be precise, it should be that mass was not conserved. A small amount of water and carbon dioxide synthesized ten times the amount of organic matter inside the black-faced grass. This is extremely limited. The reason why this plant can still thrive in the dark under the light of the sun.

"It seems that your food crops can grow smoothly not because they have adapted to the dark environment, but because they have been affected by some mysterious power." Lan Nuo's words made Colin's heart sink, because this pointed to the most important thing in Silver City. One of the important items, "the gift of the earth".

“I noticed that other plants and fungi around the farmland, in the process of organic matter transformation, whether they use the organic matter accumulated during the growth of other plants, or use energy such as light energy, heat energy, etc., the conversion rate is very high. It exceeds [-]%, that is, the energy that can be generated by a chemical reaction of one gram of organic matter is converted into three to four grams of organic matter. This process is affected by mysterious forces, so that only around Silver City, the diversity of species The sex is a little richer.

But even so, except for black-faced grass, there are really too few edible plants that can grow here. From my point of view, these have almost no edible value, and it is impossible for you to survive on a single crop. If it comes down, it will lead to the loss of vitamins and other trace elements in the body. You may not know the concepts of these, but if you can survive until now, you should have corresponding measures. "

Colin finally broke the silence, nodded and said: "It seems that you are really a knowledgeable enough druid. It was only after we paid a considerable price that we realized that only food is not enough. If we only eat food for a long time, As a result, a large number of tribesmen suffered symptoms similar to ulcers.

Later we discovered that we must use some other green leafy plants or plant buds to alleviate this symptom. If you want to see how we do it, then follow me. "

In line with the principle that if there is no investigation, there is no right to speak, Lan Nuo followed Elder Colin to one of their special production rooms. This is one of the brightest places in Silver City. The entire room is closed, with only a few An air inlet is used for ventilation.

In this room, the ceiling and walls are actually made of very precious mirrors in Silver City, which makes the brightness of this room even brighter.

In this huge mirror room covering an area of ​​several acres, a lantern is hung every few meters. To be precise, it is not a lantern, but one woven from the straw of black-faced grass. Torches.

They adopted a special weaving method, just like the wick of a candle, which will spread out around during the burning process. This not only allows the ashes to fall automatically, but also makes the burning process brighter.

In addition, Lan Nuo also noticed that there are often pipes made of monster intestines around the torches. There seems to be something spurting out of these pipes, making these torches burn unusually bright, but the burning It is also faster than the torches used for lighting outside.

Lan Nuo picked up one of the tubes and inspected it, and soon discovered the clue. What was sprayed out of the tube was quite pure oxygen.

Looking for the source along the pipeline, Lan Nuo soon discovered a six-pointed star-shaped array, with an Extraordinary Characteristic placed on each of the six corners. Based on his occult knowledge and understanding of Extraordinary Characteristics, he could tell that this The six extraordinary characteristics are all channeled by witches, and the effect of this mysterious ritual they maintain is ultra-low temperature.

It would take Lan Nuo a while to analyze the mystical things, but the metal structure on this formation was quite simple and easy to understand in his opinion. It was a device like a distillation equipment, which could be used in ultra-low temperatures. , to separate different gases in the air, which should be the source of high-purity oxygen in these pipelines.

It is precisely by relying on these high-purity oxygen that the torch can burn violently to produce strong enough light to replace the sunlight. As for the crops cultivated in this mirror greenhouse, Lan Nuo is also quite familiar with them. There are basically no There is not much variation in soybeans that have been greatly changed. Although the efficiency of organic matter conversion has also improved, it has only improved very little compared to black-faced grass, so it must have sufficient light source to grow.

"After every harvest, we separate some seeds and soak them in warm water to germinate. People must eat these sprouts regularly, otherwise, various diseases may occur in the body."

Lan Nuo could imagine how many people in Silver City died in pain due to lack of vitamins, and what sacrifices they had to make before they found such a vitamin method.This is just one of the difficult situations that Silver City needs to face to survive. Without sunlight, most of the animals and plants are extinct, and humans also have to pay a huge price if they want to survive.

In the darkness, the trees withered, and wood could no longer be used to build houses. Cotton was also lost in weaving clothes. All that could be used was the straw of black-faced grass. They soaked the straw in the pond water just like the ancients did when retting hemp. , let the bacteria decompose some of the organic matter, and then fish out the remaining plant fibers from the pool water that smells like a big toilet, make it into thin threads, and weave it into the clothes they wear.

The oxygen circle created by the witch path also plays an extremely important role in all walks of life.

There is no wood, and there are almost no coal mines. If they want to smelt metal or bake pottery, they can only use black-faced grass straw, and the burning temperature of the straw cannot reach a high enough temperature. , so during the smelting process, a certain amount of oxygen must be introduced and the temperature raised, so that the firing and smelting process can be completed.

Their buildings had no way to use wood, and burning cement and the like often required too much energy. They used mud mixed with stones and straw of black-faced grass to build the walls of their houses, even if The solemn churches are actually polished stones.Stacked and glued together in this way.

Lan Nuo came to the blacksmith shop in this world and saw the difficulty of metal smelting here. Only when oxygen is supplied can a small amount of iron be smelted every day. The blacksmiths must complete the repeated forging of the iron in a very short period of time. Beating, through which impurities are removed, can they be made into qualified weapons and agricultural tools.

This also makes it necessary to have a very high level to work as a blacksmith here. The several blacksmiths here are all generalists. You can imagine the high skills required to smelt metal here.

However, in Lanno's view, there is still room for improvement. In the future, steel plants can achieve negative energy smelting. When oxygen can be introduced, the remaining carbon after reduction can be directly used to react with oxygen. This process The heat generated can keep the iron in the state of molten iron.

Silver City's existing resources can barely build such a smelting furnace, and the iron ore they use is of relatively high quality.This can significantly reduce the technical requirements of the smelting furnace.

Lan Nuo is quite satisfied with this aspect. Calculating the location of the Land Abandoned by God, it should be located in Europe, including part of Africa, and the taste of iron ore in Northern Europe is much better than that in East Asia. Otherwise, in ancient times, It is also difficult for Europe to rely on this relatively simple metal smelting technology to produce iron tools that are more advanced than those in the East at the same time.

At the same time, during the process of reducing iron ore, Lan Nuo also designed in his mind how to carbonize the straw of black-faced grass first to increase the efficiency of the reduction reaction process.

At the same time, he also asked the people in Silver City about the distribution of surrounding minerals. Although the people here recorded a lot of natural science knowledge through books, they also forgot a lot of content. They had only seen many minerals, but did not know. Know what they are used for, and after certain chemical processing, these minerals can be used as important raw materials as part of the industrial system.

The chemical industry of at least three acids and two alkali must be developed. Otherwise, it will be difficult to smelt qualified steel. You must know that in the process of smelting steel, it is also necessary to add appropriate chemicals to the molten steel. , adjusting the pH to remove a series of impurities including phosphorus and sulfur.

At first, Colin thought that Lan Nuo was just a person. Faced with countless years of experience accumulated in Silver City, he actually couldn't make much change. However, as time went by, Lan Nuo asked about the distribution of minerals around him. , and understand the functions of these minerals one by one.

Colin's impression of him began to change to a certain extent. He was indeed a polymath who could still show his wisdom even in this world that had lost its light.

After sending people to search for the surrounding minerals, Lanno mobilized Colin's large reserves of copper ore, smelted it to create a barely usable generator, and then found a copy of the warrior's extraordinary characteristics to make it. He has obtained magical items. Although he is not a craftsman and there is no corresponding bonus in the production process, his experience is already stronger than that of most craftsmen.

Therefore, the side effects of the magical items he made are not very big, and what he made is a robot that can continuously pedal a bicycle. He is infinitely strong and tireless, and can continuously drive this generator, and Extraordinary characteristics, as part of the origin of the world, can be regarded as infinite energy on a certain level, which will not disappear no matter how it is consumed.

So much so that it achieves the effect of making the generator rotate infinitely.Although this power generation device is somewhat abstract, Lanno applied a series of chemicals to a glass cover, inserted a special element into the electrified base, and finally successfully produced a light bulb.

It has replaced the previous torches in the mirror greenhouse, which had to provide light sources through violent combustion of pure oxygen. Although the energy consumption of this kind of electric lamp made of inferior phosphors is still quite high, at least the conversion efficiency is much better than those of burning plant straw. .

Although Lan Nuo's operation consumed a portion of the warrior's extraordinary characteristics, made Silver City lose one warrior, and also consumed a large amount of copper ore, it suddenly vacated a large amount of oxygen in the witch's formation. Coming out allows the blacksmith shop to smelt more farm tools and weapons.Copper mine is not a rare thing in the surrounding area. Just a small change makes Silver City's situation much stronger than before.

"Ahem, well, our warriors still have quite a lot of extraordinary characteristics. If possible, could you please make us a few more of those kinds of dolls? Those kind of dolls, combined with generators, can easily solve all our problems. The human lighting problem, the saved manpower and black-faced grass straw are enough to greatly improve our living conditions."

Unknowingly, Colin had already used an honorific title for this strange outsider, and Lanno had not yet shown his true ability, which was the ability of a druid.
