Chapter 350 Big Bang, Gunpowder(1/2)
"So, how do warcraft become stronger?"
Faced with Xia Qi's question, Wang Arthur answered truthfully: "As far as I know, there are two ways for the monster to become stronger. One is that as time goes by, the strength will naturally increase. The other is to swallow the beast cores of the same attributes to achieve the goal of rapid enhancement."
Arthur Wang paused and continued: "But both routes have advantages and disadvantages. Although the first route takes a very long time, becoming stronger is a natural thing. Although the second route can make the monster stronger in a short period of time, during this period, the monster may undergo mutations and there are certain dangers."
After hearing what Wang Arthur said, Xia Qi suddenly realized it.
Then, he thought of a third-level gold beast core in his hand.
I don’t know what changes will happen after feeding this beast core to Xiaobai.
But Xia Qi was just thinking about it. Xiaobai has just evolved into a monster now and is not very skilled in using his body. It is a big deal to whether his skills can be released.
This is a sudden increase in feeding it with a third-level magic core. This is probably not as simple as pulling out seedlings to encourage growth. This directly destroys its potential.
Immediately, Xia Qi thought of another possibility. Can he find an effective way to transform ordinary animals into monsters?
In this way, Daxia soon had an army of monsters?
In other words, if domestic animals such as domestic pigs and poultry evolve into monsters, then the chances of their descendants becoming monsters can be determined to be very high.
Even if it is not, there is a great possibility of evolution into a monster.
In this way, he will have a production line that can stably produce magic cores.
When Xia Qi said his statement, Wang Arthur couldn't help but look at him very unexpectedly.
To be honest, Arthur Wang is a little impressed by Xia Qi's imagination now.
Then, he poured a basin of cold water on Xia Qi.
"The probability of ordinary animals evolving into monsters is very, very low. At least in the tens of thousands of years of records of the elves, there are less than ten such examples."
In the long life of the elves, there will naturally be tribe members studying these things.
Where does the monster come from? How can it evolve into a monster?
This is undoubtedly a very huge and meaningful topic for elves who are keen on studying this kind of knowledge.
Xia Qi asked again: "So, will ordinary animals evolve into monsters if they swallow their beast cores?"
At first, his question sounds a bit like taking off his pants and farting.
Feed the beast cores of other monsters to other animals, and then let the animal evolve into a monster.
I wasted countless time and energy, but what I got was still a monster. Why bother?
But in fact, if this assumption is successful, it will have extraordinary significance for Daxia.
Generally speaking, monsters are unruly and would rather die than surrender to humans.
But animals that have been tamed by humans are different. The gene of surrender has been deeply embedded in their bones. Even if they evolve into monsters, they are much more controllable than those in the wild.
Hearing this, Wang Arthur said: "I think this possibility is very low. The magic core contains a large amount of elemental power. After ordinary animals swallow it, the greatest possibility is that the body cannot bear such a burden, which leads to a complete collapse and then death."
"Of course, nothing is absolutely absolute. The elves in the Elf Kingdom who like to study this kind of thing later left together. As for where they went, I don't know. I think there should be information on various beasts that evolved into monsters in their hands."
After hearing what Wang Arthur said, Xia Qi had actually basically lost the idea of creating a monster.
The things here are far from as simple as I thought.
A few days later, Xia Qi, who was expecting lightning to wake up, was suddenly alarmed by a loud sound.
Suddenly he realized something and rushed out of the city.
A long distance away, Xia Qi could already see a large amount of black smoke rising above the sky ahead.
At this time, the city of Daxia was already in chaos. Not only people, but also a large number of animals were frightened and were wailing and running around.
In a single-gate courtyard outside the city, a large number of soldiers were carrying buckets to put out the fire.
Fortunately, it is very close to Daxia Lake here, so it is very convenient to put out the fire.
Soon, the fire was put out.
There were also a large number of people patrolling outside the courtyard, blocking the entire area nearby and prohibiting ordinary people from approaching.
Of course, these will not have any effect on Xia Qi.
Throughout the entire Daxia, there is no place he cannot go.
After passing through the isolation belt, Xia Qi quickly walked into the courtyard with a group of guards.
This is actually a branch of the Ordnance Research Department. Because what is being studied is very dangerous, it is built outside the city.
The tall walls outside the Ordnance Research Department are nothing to do, but the office building inside is half collapsed, and the source of the black smoke is undoubtedly here.
This scene made Xia Qi's whole heart instantly hang in his throat.
If he remembered correctly, the location was Xia Fox's office!
Xia Qi grabbed a researcher and asked, "Where is your minister?"
The researcher was caught and had to resist at first, but when he saw that the person was Xia Qi, he immediately became timid.
"See Your Majesty!"
Xia Qi was extremely irritated at this time, but he had no time to procrastinate here and asked him directly: "Where is your minister!"
"Minister, isn't the Minister here..."
Speaking of this, the researcher was stunned for a moment. He was obviously still here just now!
"Ah......"
This sudden change made the researcher unable to speak.
It was still Qin Chuan, he suddenly pointed his hand at a position and said, "Your Majesty, do you think that is Minister Xia?"
Hearing this, Xia Qi hurriedly looked in that direction. At this time, the fox Xia was lying on the ground not far away, holding a piece of charcoal in his hand, and was not sure what to write on the ground.
While writing, he was muttering words, and he looked quite like a mad scientist on Blue Star movies and TV shows.
Seeing this, Xia Qi sighed helplessly, and then ordered to the people around him: "Go and call the imperial doctor. Also, who else, you can copy all the contents here."
"I?"
The one in Xia Qidian was not someone else, but the researcher he just asked about.
Seeing that Xia Fox was not affected by the previous explosion at all, Xia Qi's heart that had been hanging around was finally put back into his stomach.
As for what Xia Fox studied, he had nothing to do, it was gunpowder.
He had already prepared the materials for making gunpowder, and several warehouses were prepared.
However, due to the rules of the civilized battlefield, some things are used and studied under the prescribed rank.
Let's give a simple example.
It’s like Yang Guang supported Xia Qi with a batch of modern guns, but his rank did not reach the level specified in civilized battlefields.
Therefore, for him, these guns were completely fire sticks, and even if they loaded the bullets, he could not fire them.
The same was true before, because Xia Qi's rank did not meet the requirements, so he could not study the gunpowder thing.
Isn’t he reached the silver level?
So I tried to study gunpowder again. It turned out that the silver rank is qualified to develop gunpowder.
However, it is obviously unlikely to find the specific formula for dangerous things like gunpowder.
Sayings like mononitrogen disulfide and 3 charcoal are still too general.
Moreover, the gunpowder developed in this way is just the lowest-level one, and it is still not very powerful to use it in the military.
However, from the moment the gunpowder exploded, the power of this gunpowder is still quite powerful.
It is also because Xia Fox is clever and he stayed away from the ignition experiment. Otherwise, even if Xia Qi had the water of life in his hand, he would not be able to save this wave.
Dangerous experiments like this should have been done in an open experimental field outside.
But during the sports meet, there are people everywhere outside. If you want to find a place where no one is, you can only go to the deep mountains and forests.
But Xia Fox had just adjusted the formula and was in a hurry to experiment. Even if someone advised her, she would not listen and started experimenting in the courtyard.
Then, the courtyard was blown up halfway.
Fortunately, no one was injured. This place is also a place specially used to develop gunpowder, so the loss is not very large.
But no matter that, this kind of thing is also very dangerous. If you are not careful, you may cause death. Xia Qi feels that it is necessary to give Xia Fox some memory.
So he simply gave Xia Fox a long holiday, and during this period he was not allowed to slap anything related to the ordnance.
For ordinary people, a full month of paid leave is simply a gift?
But obviously, Xia Fox is not an ordinary person.
For someone like her who is addicted to the research of weapons all day long, it is simply the cruelest thing, and there is nothing more painful in the world.
At the same time, several guards were sent specifically to follow her as long as she left the palace, providing all-round protection, while also monitoring her.
I can only say that Xia Qi really knows how to punish her.
Of course, after Xia Fox had a long holiday for a month, the follow-up study of gunpowder was certainly impossible to stop there.
