Magic Industrial Age

Christina was led out by two maids, one on each side.

It was clear that she truly loved magic-powered firearms, as even when leaving, her eyes never left the blueprints Loy had given her.

Loy found it amusing, but as soon as everyone left, the expression on his face immediately turned serious.

His fingers tapped on the table, the rhythmic sound accompanying his increasingly distant thoughts.

You have to admit, although Loy had many ideas in his mind, he was very cautious with everything he brought out, afraid of anything that might be against the rules or over the top, thus inviting unnecessary trouble.

Don't think it's impossible; a single magic-powered forging hammer was already highly sought after, let alone anything else.

Also out of a sense of awe, Loy hadn't brought out any weapons so far.

He hadn't mentioned anything about airplanes or tanks, just to avoid losing control.

Even when doing business, he always started with processing and refining, without touching military manufacturing.

This was all because he had scruples!

But the Duke Carlisle's sudden attack had changed his thinking a bit.

Perhaps, when it's time to be aggressive, you still have to be a bit more so, and you need to have enough chips to make people value your existence.

Therefore, he carefully selected this classic Maxim heavy machine gun.

In fact, he originally preferred another model, the six-barreled Gatling gun, known as the battlefield meat grinder, with a rate of fire of up to 1,000 rounds per minute.

However, Deep Blue's data actually came from books that Loy had read and scanned, and there were design drawings for the Maxim heavy machine gun, but not for the six-barreled Gatling gun.

Furthermore, Deep Blue's records clearly stated that on another planet, the true terminator of cavalry was this Maxim heavy machine gun.

When it appeared on the battlefield, knights were completely swept into the dustbin of history.

This point most impressed Loy!

Of course, Loy's selection of Christina was also the result of much consideration.

On the one hand, he really didn't have many talents under his command.

Lilia was already busy enough, and she had to study with His Excellency Bartholomew, so she couldn't spare any time at all.

On the other hand, such a battlefield weapon of mass destruction would inevitably attract the attention of the Empire, so rather than covering it up, it was better to be open about it.

In fact, it was not difficult to see from the Imperial Ambassador Robin Water that the Empire was quite particular about how it did things, and it might even bring some benefits.

Taking everything into consideration, he handed the design drawings to Christina, but he still had a feeling of releasing a killing machine with his own hands.

But in the end, he just shook his head, casting all these distracting thoughts out of his mind.

Even without him, such killing machines would appear one after another.

War is the eternal theme of intelligent life, and it can never be avoided.

...

In any case, the incident caused by Duke Carlisle left Loy in a bad mood for a long time.

He not only paid attention to and supervised the construction of various factories, railways, and mines every day, ensuring sufficient logistical support and staff; he also spent a lot of time and energy on cultivation.

Lady Palacios had to be stationed at Siren Harbor, and Olivia was still in seclusion, stabilizing her realm.

But the Iron Knight Phil and the Flame Sword Saint Otto couldn't escape; Loy had to fight them almost every two days.

Without restrictions, without sentimentality, they could use all means and give full play to their combat power, just like a real battlefield fight.

The reason it was every two days was because that was the time it took for Loy's battle qi to recover; even with all kinds of magic potions, it would take two days for him to recover to his peak state.

Then, he would conduct the next battle.

At night, even in his sleep, he wasn't idle.

The auxiliary learning module was turned on, creating various dreamscapes, coupled with the data collected by Deep Blue, designing various situations and enemies for Loy.

At this time, it wasn't just the Iron Knight Phil and the Flame Sword Saint Otto; all the fourth-tier experts he had encountered were his opponents.

To be honest, it was Phil and Otto who couldn't withstand such high-intensity battles first.

They had never experienced such crazy battles, fighting and fighting again!

But they couldn't say anything; Loy, a third-tier transcendent, could withstand it, so how could they, these fourth-tier experts, retreat first?

As a result, they could only grit their teeth and persevere.

And the results of such high-intensity battles were gratifying, because, visibly, the proficiency of their transcendent combat skills was also increasing little by little.

Not only was their use more skilled and under control, but their power was also constantly improving.

Of course, it's worth mentioning that the 'Sacred Glory Breathing Technique' exchanged from the Empire had also been completely analyzed by Deep Blue and divided into two parts.

[Sacred Glory Breathing Technique - Accumulation LV1 (3/100)] This part is the method of accumulating battle qi. Although the main purpose is the Sacred Glory Breathing Technique, it actually incorporates many other breathing techniques.

[Sacred Glory Breathing Technique - Refinement LV1 (2/100)] This part is purely a body refining technique.

Based on Loy's physical fitness, it maintains the maximum degree of destruction and repair, and uses Deep Blue's 'Health Monitoring Module' as a benchmark to ensure the maximization of cultivation effects.

It should be said that Deep Blue had accumulated enough information about breathing techniques at this time, and even the principles of high-level breathing techniques had been clarified.

The reason why high-level breathing techniques are superior to ordinary breathing techniques lies in their complex condensing routes, which can ensure that the quality of battle qi is higher than ordinary battle qi.

In fact, Loy no longer needed this point. The battle qi condensed by [God's Sigh] for the second time was not inferior to fourth-tier attribute battle qi, let alone high-level battle qi.

In addition, the battle qi condensed by advanced breathing techniques will also have some partial attributes.

Some are more thick, some have stronger explosive power, some improve reaction speed, some accelerate faster...

Some have more bonuses for a certain aspect of the body, or they can even guide the elemental attributes of battle qi in advance...

In short, there are many effects, all kinds of things, difficult to distinguish!

The focus of the Sacred Glory Breathing Technique is recovery, which can maximize the recovery of muscle fatigue, various external injuries, nourish internal organs, and resist viruses and toxins.

In fact, this has the best effect on physical training, which is what Loy values most.

In addition, this breathing technique from the Church of the Sun God will innately guide a person's battle qi attributes towards the sacred direction. Long-term cultivation can make the power of light and flame manifest in the battle qi.

Loy's most desired battle qi attributes are actually these two points, which is why he revised his cultivation!

Otherwise, in fact, for him, the difference in effect between high-level breathing techniques and ordinary breathing techniques is not as big as imagined.

Until nearly mid-month, that is, January 15th of the New Divine Calendar 313, Loy finally heard good news.

His friends had finally arrived!

...

Brussels City,

Ruhr River Wharf.

The latest novels are first published on 69shu.吧!

A luxurious passenger ship slowly docked, and a boatman quickly threw out the rope and tied it to the wooden stakes, causing the speed of the ship to drop rapidly.

Someone laid out a plank and erected a bridge so that people could pass.

The leader who came down was Gary Mills and Mrs. Linda.

Loy stood on the shore, smiling at the two.

"Teacher Gary Mills, long time no see, your dress is getting more and more trendy?!"

"That's right, take a look at who I am! These leather pants, this hat, this dress, are most suitable for me to exert my combat power.

Wait, you kid is transcendent? How so fast?"

"On the battlefield, between life and death, come a few more times, and your strength will improve quickly.

Teacher Gary, why don't you give it a try?"

"Just kidding, cultivation is to protect the people I want to protect, I don't want to be abused!"

"That makes sense, that's what I think too, but unfortunately, there are always people who don't want me to be stable."

"Mrs. Linda, long time no see, you are getting more and more beautiful. Could this be the nourishment of love?"

"Hehe, Loy, how long has it been since we last met, why are you so glib?"

"What I'm saying is the truth, not a bit of falsehood!"

"Douglas, my old friend, long time no see, come, give me a hug."

"I remember coming back once in the middle, how did it become a long time no see?"

"Haven't you heard, a day apart is like three autumns?"

"If you say so, I really miss you every day. Every time I study magic-powered machinery, I think of you.

Loy, the magic-powered telegraph machine you told me about last time, I have new discoveries, I..."

"..."

"Why don't you talk?"

"Douglas, I invited you here to play, is it okay for you to discuss magic-powered machinery with me as soon as we meet?"

"That's what I'm here for, I just want to discuss it with you in person!"

"Can you wait? Do you think this place is suitable now?"

"Mira, Mira, come here, let me see, this temperament, this demeanor, good fellow, I almost didn't dare to recognize you!"

"Maluna, why did you come alone, where are your two children? Didn't you bring them to play together?"

"Lean Vasquez, not bad, not bad, you finally became transcendent, when we get to the Lionheart Manor, let's try it out, let me see how strong you are?"

"That, Earl, don't joke with me, I couldn't beat you when I was in the second tier, let alone now?"

"Haha, I like hearing that."

Loy didn't come alone, he brought Lilia, Ang and Hoover the butler.

Everyone knew each other, although the relationship was close and distant, but at this time, there was a sense of joy of old friends reuniting.

Maluna liked to get close to Hoover the butler to talk, while Lilia had endless topics to talk about with Mira.

Ang approached Gary Mills and Mrs. Linda, smiling and saying hello.

These days, he was learning more and more from Olivia, starting to be silent and taciturn, and rarely smiled happily at this time.

When everyone finished greeting each other, Loy didn't let everyone take a car, but waved his hand and said: "Let's go, let's go, I'll take you to see my territory, my city!"

"Here, you can walk sideways and no one will dare to stop you!"
