Start with an Archangel

Daliang visited his alchemy laboratory accompanied by Miniya.

The main function of the alchemy laboratory is to improve the alchemy technology level of the territory. As for the technology upgrades in the functional buildings of the territory, apart from the direct acquisition of technology through blueprints, the only way is to climb the alchemy technology tree step by step through the research of the alchemy laboratory. Achieve mastery.

For example, when Daliang helped Howard attack Qingye Island, he obtained the mining pickaxe technology and mining technology, which increased the Blackfire Leader's ore production by 20%.

In other words, the actual output of the two rich mines controlled by Daliang has reached 6 units/day.

Light crossbow gun paper, medium crossbow gun paper and medium catapult blueprints all allow Daliang to produce corresponding weapons.

In the absence of blueprints, the alchemy laboratory can conduct special research under the instructions of the lord. After all pre-alchemy technologies are researched, each functional building can be technologically upgraded on its own.

For example, Daliang now has the alchemy laboratory focus on research on ore refining and enchantment. Ore refining can improve the quality of refined metals and increase the durability and strength of metal products. Blacksmith shops and alchemy material processing plants all require ore refining technology.

The quality of the metal determines whether the weapons produced in the territory will be reliable in the future. The metal refining and alloying technologies derived in the future are extremely important technical reserves.

Enchanting technology is more widely used, ranging from adding magic resistance to the wall of a city wall to adding additional magic properties to an arrow.

Enchanting potions are also one of the main products that Daliang has set up in the alchemy shop in the foggy area.

These two categories of alchemy technology are the basis for a territory to become stronger, and they are technology trees that must be researched and lit.

With Minia at the helm, the research on the two technologies of the Black Fire Territory is progressing very quickly. The first level of research on ore refining and enchantment has been completed, and the second level of research is being started. It will start after the fifth level. Branches appear, and derivative technologies begin to branch out in a tree shape.

These are all long-term research topics. After Daliang roughly explained the key research directions for Minia, he watched the tests of Jinzhao No. 1 and Jinzhao No. 2.

Jinzhao No. 1 is an idea proposed by Daliang and is a portable alchemy bomb. Its shape is a cylinder, like a baton, which is easy to grasp and throw. Its attack range is 10 meters.

The price is 500 gold.

With an attack range of 10 meters, many range magics can achieve this, and the attack range can even be larger. Is there any player willing to take advantage of 500 gold to buy such a stick?

Of course there is. Although the power of magic is huge and easy to release, magic is not omnipotent. In many cases, magic resistance and magic ban limit the use of magic. For example, dwarves and stonemen have natural magic resistance, and black dragons are immune to magic effects below level 5. To attack them, they can only use physical attacks produced by physical combat and magic. Although the alchemy bomb is a magic item, its attack method is through explosion, which can cause damage to the forbidden demon body.

And unlike most magic that can only attack in a straight line, alchemy bombs can attack enemies hiding behind bunkers by throwing them. Whether on the battlefield or fighting a boss, it is an extremely effective supplementary attack method for magic.

for example:

When you lead a team to fight a boss and encounter a monster with high resistance, please throw out the Golden Explosion No. 1. You don't have to use your life to push it. What you save is the level and what you gain is the admiration of your younger brother.

When you are picking up girls in the wild, please take out the Golden Fried No. 1 and throw it out. This is a symbol of your status. With a stick worth 500 gold, the girl will definitely fall in love immediately.

When you desperately release magic and your enemy uses the forbidden magic method to taunt you, please throw Jin Zha No. 1 out. You can step on his corpse and slap his face as much as you want.

Such expensive alchemy weapons are not meant to be thrown away for fun, they are used to hold weapons.

A Gold Explosion No. 1 brother sells for 500 gold. There is not a single player who has the ability to come to the base camp plane. Experts can understand the role of Gold Explosion No. 1 at a glance. As long as players come to the foggy area, they will not worry about not selling this thing.

After Daliang completed the acceptance, Jinzhao No. 1 began batch production.

Then there is Jin Zha No. 2.

The prototype of Jinzhao No. 2 is the kind of bomb used by the wizards to sneak attack Frank. At Da Liang's suggestion, Minia changed it into a sphere. The core with a diameter of 30cm has an explosion range of 30 meters. It can be thrown by a trebuchet or from high altitude. Rolling downwards.

High-level heroes as strong as Frank were blown up half to death by this thing. The power of Jin Zha No. 2 is very impressive.

The cost of making Jinzhao No. 2 is 200 gold each. This powerful alchemical weapon is not currently available for sale by Daliang. He paid 2 million gold coins to give priority to the alchemy laboratory to produce 10,000 Jinzhao No. 1.

Now that the Black Fire Territory can independently produce medium-sized catapults, Da Liang plans to place most of the Golden Explosive No. 2 in the Forward Fortress in the Dreamland. There is a strong enemy there, and the elven Palm Tree City will never be reconciled to an undead army stationed on the edge of the city. The battle will definitely break out again, and in the next war, Palm Tree City will definitely not rush to fight like the last time.

Once the forward fortress is attacked, the use of Jinzhao No. 2 will definitely effectively relieve the pressure on the defenders.

Therefore, although it is a bit more expensive, this money cannot be saved.

In addition to replenishing the forward fortress, part of Jinzhao No. 2 will be used to strengthen the defense of the Boneyard. The rest will be transferred to the Blackfire Fleet. A level 5 battleship is about to enter the fleet. The two catapults on the battleship are used to A weapon that throws alchemical bombs.

The cost of Jin Zha No. 1 was 100 gold. Daliang also ordered 30,000 pieces for his army and paid another 3 million gold.

In a short time, 5 million gold coins were spent like this.

The 30,000 Gold Bomb No. 1 also gave priority to supplying the Forward Fortress. The soldiers of the Black Fire Territory were mainly skeleton soldiers, and their individual combat effectiveness was lower than that of the elves. The gap in strength could only be made up by using weapons. Jin Zha No. 1 can be tied to a short spear and fired with a ballista, or it can be sprayed outward using a catapult.

As long as this thing is thrown out, no matter whether it can blow up people or not, it will frighten the enemies so that they dare not rush up.

Anyway, Da Liang wants to keep this bridgehead leading to the dreamland even if he just throws money at it.

Fighting for money?

The Shuntong Chamber of Commerce is still expanding, the second phase of the Player Maritime Trading Center is already being planned, its own maritime company is about to be put into operation, and the pearl business has begun to make a profit.

As a director of Yingshi Virtual Bank, I really have nothing to fear from anyone.

As soon as the rich Da Liang returned to the foggy area, he spent a lot of money. Not only did he pay for the self-ordered Jinzhao No. 1 and Jinzhao No. 2, but he also ordered a batch of alchemy products for export for the upcoming alchemy store. .

Since it was for export, the profits would be used to fund the reconstruction of the Wizards Guild's City of Sighs branch, so Daliang no longer paid for these weapons at cost.

Taking Jin Zha No. 1 as an example, Daliang paid the delivery price of 200 gold. Half of the profits from the alchemy laboratory belong to Daliang, and half belong to the finance of the Sighing City branch. All profits from the alchemy shop belong to Daliang.
