This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 428 Undead dedicated to naval battles

"Well, the jet propulsion engine has been miniaturized and works better in the water. Carving wood is too time-consuming. Let's order a simple metal shell. But two jet engines are still too wasteful. One is enough. The power is enough. There is no need. To strengthen it, add an air undead test tube... Simply don't make it into a bionic form, since undead are particularly easy to be sensed. "

Amberxiu continued to revise the drawings, and soon got a new version of the undead unit.

This is a streamlined machine with the simplest form. It can hardly be said to be a fish, more like a small torpedo with its own jet.

 The size of a finger, a miniature jet magic array is used as a propeller, and the direction is controlled by the slight swing of the tail fin, and then there is space at the head of the torpedo, which can be loaded with alchemy bombs or other weapons.

Amberxiu said to himself: "The cost of the alchemy bomb is too high, but my air undead is more cost-effective."

The so-called air undead is a colorless and odorless poison that Amberxiu created before. It is transformed from the air into the nature of a corpse, and then stuffed into a completely blank virtual soul.

This kind of undead has no thoughts, no mobility, or even any action functions, so the cost is very low. But this kind of air undead can only be stored in a sealed container. Once leaked, it will explode directly and turn into colorless and odorless "undead air".

Amber Xiu has tested that once a living organism directly inhales the undead air, it will be quickly eroded by dark magic. Its power is more terrifying than any known poison, and the killing efficiency of alchemy bombs is not that high.

If this air undead is put into the head of this small torpedo and explodes directly after hitting the target, the poison will explode quickly and can poison the target.

The only problem is that the body of the air undead is gas after all. When it explodes, bubbles will form and float up. How many of these bubbles can be inhaled by the enemy?

 Amber Xiu has a resolute and resolute character, so he immediately came up with an experiment to detonate air undead in the water to see how many fish could be poisoned.

 The final result was not satisfactory to him.

Air is difficult to dissolve in seawater, causing most of the air undead to turn into bubbles and float up, and very few can be inhaled in an instant. This results in the air undead being ten times less toxic in water than on land. Deadly poisons become non-lethal poisons that cause only respiratory disturbances and body convulsions.

Amberxiu felt a little pity. He had made a lot of inventory before, but now it seems that it is somewhat useless.

“Or, I use seawater as the body and try to create a seawater undead?”

Amberxiu tested it and found that seawater undead can also be done, but the cost has increased significantly.

  The gold coins given by the God of Alchemy cost money each time they are transformed into properties, and the higher the quality, the higher the price.

The density of air is low. If you want to fill a finger-sized glass ball, the cost of air undead is less than one copper coin. To replace it with sea water, it will cost more than thirty copper coins. This also depends on the purity of the sea water. It seems to be mixed with The things are different, and the consumption when transforming properties is also different.

"The price of thirty copper coins of sea undead, plus the price of the torpedo itself is more than one silver coin. No, it is still too high, unless we can save on materials." Amberxiu decided to find Gustavo Fo Lin, let this old man help him produce torpedo shells at cost price.

Not long ago, Amberxiu ordered a batch of major parts for manufacturing micro-jet engines from Gustavo Flynn. He didn't pay a penny, but Amberxiu sold the blueprints of the improved micro-jet engine.

It's not that he doesn't want to keep it secret, but with Gustavo Flynn's ability, he can guess the exact parts just by looking at them. This is not an innovative technology in the first place, but Amberxiu spent a lot of time in his private space. It’s just volume compression over time.

 It is very valuable, but the level of confidentiality is really not high, and insiders can easily dismantle the principles.

Amberxiu simply sold the drawings to this "old friend" and paid for the parts. Now that the torpedo has a jet engine, he can simply sell the torpedo shell design, which is not valuable, and then ask his "old friend" to make another batch for him.

Gustavo Flynn now owns more than one alchemy factory. It is very simple to mass-produce such low-tech metal accessories. There is no need to re-open the mold. Maybe you can find this streamlined metal shell mold if you look for it. pieces.

Amber Xiu made a careful calculation. In this way, the cost of each undead torpedo can be reduced to about fifty copper coins. A million gold coins will be enough to finish the battle.

With the first undead unit finalized, Amber Xiu continued to be busy. It was not clear whether the torpedo should be considered a long-range weapon or a melee self-destruct weapon, but there was no doubt that it was thrown from a distance by the user and could be used directly as a long-range unit.

 Then there are defensive undead units, and real melee undead units.

Compared with undead torpedoes, these two are not cannon fodder, they are considered regular troops and need to be used repeatedly.

Just when Amberxiu entered the research state excitedly.

 Deep in the sea, there are also people who cheer up and start working hard for the volcanic sea.

Aiolos, who had been kidnapped by the Kuo-Toa goddess for several days, was now glowing red. He was suspended on a huge coral and spoke impassionedly about pre-war mobilization to a group of naive Kuo-toa people.

The lobster girl version of Ariel stood beside him tenderly, looking at him with eyes full of admiration. Aiolos finally obeyed, because the reasons of the Kuo Tao fish goddess were very convincing, and Talos did not object, which meant that Ariel was the one he was looking for.

 So Aiolos chose to accept this reality without hesitation for long, and even boasted to the Kuo Tao mermaid goddess that he would use the entire volcanic sea as a "betrothal gift".

The goddess of Kuo Toa laughed loudly, and immediately said that she would hand over all the Kuo Toa under her command to him. The requirements were not high. As long as Aiolos could gain a foothold in the volcanic sea, he was not required to occupy the entire sea ​​areas.

The goddess of the kuo-toa fish knew very well that she had taken advantage of a loophole to trick Talos' son into working for her. She didn't know which god's descendant she would meet later. With Aiolos' ability, she could help the kuo-toa fish. It is enough for people to find a new breeding area.

Perhaps it's time to get sick. At this time, the Kuo Tao fish man goddess is terrifyingly calm.

 He gave all the information about the sea clan he had to Aiolos and asked him to read it before leading the Kuo-toa people to seize the territory.

Aiolos also read it carefully. As for how much he understood, I'm afraid no one knows.

 But now it is the last moment. The Sharkfish have already entered the scene one step ahead, and the Ixi Manta Rays have already found a breeding area and have begun to lay eggs and breed.

  If the Kuo Tao fish people don't take action, all the good places will be robbed in a few days.

 So, no matter what, let’s grab a piece of territory first and then talk about it.

  Aiolos delivered an impassioned speech in the style of Talos, bluntly saying that the enemies ahead were just rotten fish and shrimps, and that he would lead all Kuo-Toa to victory.

But the effect didn't seem to be very good. These Kuo-Toa people had been watching Aiolos' performance in silence. Some were gnawing their nails, some were picking their teeth with fish bones, and some were completely asleep and didn't listen at all.

Aiolos has never seen such outrageous subordinates. Are these fishmen's brains not working well? Who has the final say now?

If it were just a matter of stabbing the head, catching a few unconvinced ones and killing them would naturally frighten them.

 But Aiolos discovered that they were not thorns in the face, or specifically against him, but that was what they were.

Kuo Tao fish people have very low IQs. After throwing away the instinct to eat, drink and relieve themselves, they only have the lazy idea of ​​lying down and resting. Occasionally, when they are nervous, they will do stupid things, such as feeding Kuo Tao. The statue of the fish-man goddess is smeared with sea mud and inserted with kelp.

  Aiolos's speech was so complicated for the Kuo-Toa that they didn't understand it at all, so they couldn't react at all.

Seeing that something was wrong, Aiolos thought for a moment and said: "Follow me and you will have fish to eat! If you don't do it with me, I will eat you!"

With this simple and direct sentence, the Kuo Tao fish people immediately stood up in large numbers.

They held high various weird-looking weapons and shouted loudly using messy words.

 The content is also very simple, just two meanings: "I want to eat! You can't eat me!"

Aiolos looked at the group of Kuo-Toa people who were getting excited with satisfaction, and finally felt a little satisfied in his heart. These were his first batch of subordinates. Stupid is a bit stupid, but the number is huge, and the overall strength is not bad.

Kuo-Toa are very idiots, but perhaps because their simplicity makes it easy for them to understand the power of blood inheritance, the proportion of warlocks among the kuo-toa is very high, and many kuo-toa have special bloodline spells.

One-tenth of the tens of thousands of Kuo-Tao fishmen in front of them are spellcasters. This ratio can leave other sea tribes far behind.

 As long as it is commanded properly, this will be a very powerful army.

 As long as Aiolos can win, he will be able to continue to capture other races and continue to increase his troops... Aiolos only feels that his eyes are bright.

Sure enough, he made the right choice to follow the Kuo Tao fish-man goddess. In just a few days, he went from being a loner to the leader of an army. Give him a few more years, and Aiolos will have the final say over the sea. .

Aiolos looked up at the gloomy sea water and prayed to Talos in his heart: "Great Father God, have you seen that I have controlled such a huge power. One day, I will take over this sea Dedicated to you, when the time comes, you will be proud of me! Please wait patiently!”
