Arcane Lord

The more Xia Duo thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. He was not willing to be cheated out of a sum of money for no reason. After thinking about it, he launched a surprise attack on Jam:

"Jam Tax Collector, are you worried about the rebels outside?"

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry. We can retreat into the twin spires first. As long as the rebels dare to attack the twin spires, the twin spires will automatically bring the imperial guards here to quell the rebellion."

"Are we just going to watch them destroy the city?"

"What did they destroy? The city? It doesn't matter if they destroy it. After the war instruments in their hands are consumed, they will still be obedient slaves. How much they destroy now will be rebuilt later. They can still mine resources themselves. .

"During this period, no craftsman or soldier will die. As for the slaves, dying more can save food!"

Jamu's cold words, which he did not think were unusual, made Xia Duo deeply understand that even though this country had the potential for industrialization and even automated production, it was still a typical old slave society.

The loss of countless flesh and blood lives is just a number on a book in the eyes of Jam, a real Yimaska ​​man.

Xia Duo's heart was churning, and he felt a little uncomfortable for no reason. He noticed that Percher and the other elves didn't look very good either, but in the face of this situation, what could they do?

After a moment of silence and trying to calm down, Sha Duo asked Jam: "Do you sell slaves here?"

"Sell, of course!"

"I want this group of rebels out there now."

"Rebels? No! There are craftsmen and soldiers among them, and craftsmen and soldiers are not for sale in Yimaska."

"It doesn't matter, you can exclude everything you think cannot be sold, and I will take the rest."

"Yes, but Zhanjit City was destroyed this time when it was short of people. If you buy it here, the price will be higher than elsewhere! And we are not responsible for the transportation of all slaves, you are responsible for it. "

"No problem, but I will buy more slaves later, and I want a preferential price!"

Although the purchase of slaves was a temporary idea, it was definitely in line with Shado's long-term plan to increase the population. The Nese people were human beings, the Langas people were human beings, and of course the Yinmaskar people were also human beings.

Before he came, he had never imagined that a country would artificially trigger a war to consume the population because of insufficient food. This was simply unbelievable.

Since Yin Maska doesn't care, Xia Duo does, and even a few years later he will ask the descendants of the slaves he bought today to be envoys to Yin Maska to publicly display every detail of the life of the Great Xia leader.

By then, if Yimaska ​​is still like today, I am afraid that his people will respond to him and evacuate most of the bottom in an instant.

…

In the end, Xia Duo negotiated with the rebels outside at a unit price of 100 makara, so the rebels outside were no longer negative assets to Zhanjit City, but shiny gold coins.

The local commander immediately led his troops to rush out from the twin spires. Several temptations and the actions of lurking undercover agents quickly exhausted the war materials in the hands of the rebels.

Then came the "duck catching" operation that is common across the world. They caught them from noon to dark. Before they were all caught, Xia Duo didn't need to think about whether to leave.

Stayed at Zhanjit tonight!

Of course, the Yimaska ​​people were responsible for catching slaves, so Xia didn't have much to do. He stayed back in the floating city that night and started researching on the materials for creation.

…

In the laboratory.

Xia Duo first checked the material properties research report submitted by the Master of the Tower of Time. As expected, there was an energy-conducting metal with properties similar to mithril, but the energy-conducting effect of this metal material was not as good as standard mithril.

But recalling the unit price provided when Jam was handed over, isn't this a cheap alternative to mithril!

According to Jam's introduction, the main purpose of this material called "Ferofrite" is as a basic material for making other puppet materials.

In other words, almost all Yinmascam artifacts will contain this energy-conducting metal component called "norfluoride".

In this regard, Xia Duo could only lament that it was indeed very cheap, but at the same time, he also thought that if there was a kind of ferrofluoride, there should be materials with better energy-conducting effects.

Maybe it's an optimized version of norfluroferron, or of course it could be other materials.

But no matter what, just one "Norfloxacin" made Xia Duo feel that his trip was worthwhile.

In addition, the word "Norflo" was spoken by Jam in Elvish. "Norflo" represents the pronunciation and "iron" represents the meaning. Shado speculates that it may be some alienated iron element, or some kind of iron. Special compounds.

There are also compounds in the magical world, but they are not expressed in the form of atomic combination, but in the form of elemental contamination. In other words, if it is indeed an iron compound, the key to its preparation is the contamination ratio of different elements in it.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Duo separated out a little sample and put it into the 0-element reactor in the laboratory. This was an experimental equipment specially designed to study artificial mithril. Unexpectedly, it was used here for the first time. .

As the reactor starts up, the elements inside begin to be evacuated rapidly, turning into a vacuum-like but non-vacuum state, because vacuum itself is also an elemental state.

Then, a very fine beam of annihilation light was introduced into the reactor by Xia Duo. The moment it hit the sample, the light was bright, and a large number of elements were released in the process of disintegration of the sample's material structure.

If the annihilation light is used to attack, then these released elements will also be annihilated together. The higher the energy level, the fewer free elements will be released in the end.

But now, this very fine beam of annihilation light, after careful calculation by Xia Duo, can disintegrate the material structure while avoiding accidentally hurting the elements that have not come out, and because of its extremely small volume, it will be consumed before it can even disintegrate the material structure of the sample in the reactor.

The next step is to check the ratio of elements in the reactor.

Although it is difficult to determine the true material composition of the sample by doing this, it can at least be used to compare with known materials to determine whether it is iron.

After all, everyone is equal and the materials are equal in front of the annihilation light.

Soon, the element detection results came out-"4:3:3.5:5?"

Seeing such an "iron" ratio, Xia Duo immediately made a judgment that the so-called "Norfluroferro" must not be some kind of alienated iron element.

As for what it is, further research is needed.

However, after getting this result, Xia Duo was greatly relieved. What he was most worried about was that "Norfluroferro is a kind of iron element". In that case, it means to a large extent that the Yinmaska ​​people have mastered the method of converting ordinary iron into energy-conducting materials.

Although it is theoretically possible to convert ordinary iron into energy-conducting materials, Xia Duo cannot accept this possibility when it comes to the Yinmaska ​​people.
