This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 277 Drones and Toxic Weapons

 In the gloomy underground city, a huge building was modified by Amber to become his weapons testing ground.

A four-winged drone smaller than a palm flew from the ground and flew forward quickly.

Dozens of suspended ropes divide the path forward. The drone must go around several turns to reach the end point, and then fire equipped micro crossbow arrows at three targets at the end point.

 It is said to be a crossbow arrow, but it is actually a longer flying needle.

 At a distance of more than 50 meters, it took the drone a full minute to complete the task.

Although there is a slight problem with the speed, the overall completion rate is very high, all obstacles are successfully bypassed, and the final shot accurately hits the target.

Amberxiu released another small plane made of metal, which is perfectly aerodynamic.

  No propellers were needed. The small plane flew out directly, bypassing all obstacles at extremely fast speeds and hitting the target equally smoothly.

“Not bad, the effect is very good, you really get what you pay for.”

Excluding labor costs, the cost of a four-wing drone is only five gold coins, but for this small aircraft, all the materials add up to two hundred coins, not counting the more complicated manufacturing process.

 A desert creature with a particularly strong vitality, regenerative ability and resistance to various toxins. A toxin that can kill a hundred people may make a Triangle Sand Lizard feel sick for a long time.

 This is why Amberxiu has never thought of farming with skeletons. Dogs won’t eat anything grown.

This small plane is not only loaded with more advanced virtual souls, but also has the ability to fly. It is also equipped with two miniature jet thrusters.

 As we all know, skeletons cannot farm, because uncontrolled dark magic will corrode all living creatures, and the things planted will either be rotten or extremely poisonous. Unless the skeleton is covered with a special protective suit that seals the whole body, it is impossible to farm, and the cost of such protective clothing is more expensive than a hundred human slaves.

So, this jet aircraft is regarded as Amberxiu's unique patented product, and even the president of the previous generation of Alchemist Council had to recognize Amberxiu's talent.

 Alchemy City also wanted to develop this technology to fly in the form of a jet, which must be very fast, but they were unable to solve this remote control problem.

　　It is a smaller version of the jet thruster that Amberxiu carried on his back when he was running.

  Reduces the explosive power, strengthens the effect of continuous spraying, and increases the effect of adjusting control.

 Because of this, this triangular sand lizard is the best test subject for biological and chemical weapons.

Amber Xiu put down the two aircrafts and walked to another room.

 Giving them a few more decades, they may be able to make a breakthrough, but now, I am afraid that Amber Xiu is the only one who is still persisting in research in this area.

This is an era when long-distance communication is not possible under normal circumstances. If you want to communicate with two far enough locations, you can only transmit through space. This thing cannot be reduced to an aircraft.

But although this thing has a patent advantage, the cost is really... More than two hundred gold coins to buy a flying machine that can only shoot nails. It is really not worth it. It is better for the ranger to raise a raven.

However, jet aircraft are not completely useless. As long as more powerful weapons are improved, the flexibility and speed of this small aircraft will be a nightmare for many adventurers.

The alchemists have thought about creating a jet-flying airship, but because aerodynamics is a newly developed subject for them, their airship will be torn apart by the air as soon as it jets and flies. This plan remains at The state of failure has not yet been broken through.

As for the issue of remote control, with the fictional soul as the driver, Amberxiu does not need to consider the issue of remote control.

As a man from science and engineering who traveled through time, Amberxiu knew a little bit about aerodynamics, and he could also copy the shapes of aircraft from his previous life.

 So remote control aircraft is a completely impossible design.

However, the four-wing aircraft that costs five gold coins can be improved. For example, by increasing the load, it can transport a lot of things, and adding a recording crystal. As long as it returns safely, it can complete the path exploration work.

What Amber Xiu wants to play with is not a toxin, but the corrosive dark magic power unique to the undead.

This is a completely sealed space, using a magic barrier to isolate all outside influences. Amber has placed several Triangle Sand Lizards inside.

  Precisely because of the severe toxicity of dark magic, it is very suitable for use as biochemical weapons.

  But the pollution effect of dark magic is a bit special, it is a form of radiation.

Assume that the lowest-level skeletons emit this kind of poisonous radiation all the time, but the range is only half a meter at most, and it takes a long time to be irradiated to have an effect. The irradiation to living creatures must be continued for at least ten minutes. produce significant side effects.

 Because the appearance of most living things has a lot of barriers, people wear clothes, and some even wear armor.

At this time, the radiation effect of dark magic will be very poor. If you encounter a paladin, it will be completely purified by the holy light and will have no effect at all.

 But what if this radiation can directly enter the human body and directly irradiate the internal organs?

Amberxiu took out a small transparent ball, which was a completely sealed membrane containing a ball of ordinary air. It is said to be ordinary, but actually it is not ordinary, because Amberxiu used his artifact gold coin to turn this mass of air into a special "corpse".

The air turns into corpses, which can then be possessed by artificial souls.

It’s just that the air is too fragile. If left alone, the gaseous undead will dissipate on its own. This process only takes about ten seconds, so it must be wrapped and cannot spread.

Once dispersed, the dark magic power unique to the undead will quickly merge into the air.

Amberxiu threw two small transparent **** into the barrier. The membrane was very fragile. When it landed on the bodies of the Triangular Sand Lizards, it was immediately punctured by the spikes.

The colorless air undead immediately overflowed into the air and entered the bodies of these triangle sand lizards as they breathed.

 The dark magic began to corrode directly from the lungs, causing these three-cornered sand lizards to twitch and roll in pain. After about half an hour, all these three-cornered sand lizards died. The body began to swell, and then its belly exploded, sending foul black blood flying everywhere.

The Triangle Sand Lizard, which is much more resistant than humans, cannot withstand the erosion of dark magic from the inside out. If it is a living person... haha, I hope their holy light can penetrate directly into the internal organs, otherwise it will definitely be hopeless.

 Air undead, this is a powerful weapon that surpasses all poisons and is specifically targeted at all living creatures.

 But the continuous effect is not very good, because after the air undead disperses, it represents complete death, and the dark magic originally condensed by the soul will also quickly dissipate.

Amberxiu estimated that within an hour at most, the dark magic in the air would dissipate on its own and slowly return to normal. If it is under the scorching sun, this duration will be shortened to ten minutes.

 So, the best way is to use a drone to throw such air undead into the crowd at night, which will definitely cause huge casualties.

“Yes, she will definitely get as much as she wants from Apoptotic Rose.”

The cost of air undead is really low, because this undead does not need to have any abilities, and air has zero cost, so the cost of each fist-sized air undead is only a few copper coins.

Amberxiu can completely set up an undead production line, specially used to produce canned air, and then he can change its properties and pour it into the simulated soul.

 It’s a pity that only Amberxiu can complete the transformation, which seriously affects production efficiency.

“The teacher said that this legendary favor is the ability of a certain legendary alchemist. I really want to capture him and work for me.”

Amberxiu complained, and then started writing a list.

Alchemy is a complex subject. The main business of this underground factory is refining medicines, so metal processing parts must be ordered from other alchemy factories.

Amberxiu is going to ask Gustavo Flynn for help. He should be able to get the lowest price, so that he can prepare a large number of drones. As for the mass production of souls, Amberxiu already has some ideas, but It still takes time to slowly prepare.

Amberxiu stuffed dozens of drones of various shapes into his private space, and then prepared to test them on the surface.

 For good things, the market must be opened, and he was going to find those risk-takers to promote them.

Make this kind of drone famous and let every adventurer know that if you shout a word of praise to the God of Alchemy, you can buy this useful and cheap item at a 20% discount, and the power of the God of Alchemy will be restored faster. .

“It’s time to go up there and see how Harvey is doing.”

 Amber Xiu turned into a human form and came to the surface of the desert.

It is still a desert that is as golden as gold, it is still sand that is worthless if you hold it in your hands, this broken place is still so golden on the outside but ruined inside.

 Came to Manlu City, which is the city closest to the underground factory. Several of the dealers An Boxiu found were also business groups in Manlu City.

After successfully entering the door, Amberxiu walked towards the commercial streets.

Soon, Amber Xiu saw the lively crowd. Now that the war situation was stable, Manna City began to regain its prosperity.

 After walking among the crowd for a while, Amberxiu saw a tall ice sculpture.

Amberxiu was secretly happy. Harvey, this kid, is quite smart. He carved the God of Alchemy. It’s a good combination of advertising and collecting faith, right?

This guy is really good. He can understand Amberxiu's true thoughts. I have to praise him a few times.

 But, how did this guy prevent the ice cubes from melting?

Pedestrians passing by just took a few glances and did not watch. The ice sculpture had obviously been there for a while.

 In other words, this ice sculpture has lasted for so many days without melting?
