The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

Everyone in Little Levi City believed that this was a terrorist destruction secretly carried out by the church state. Almost the vast majority of newspapers and media also wrote various articles accusing the church state of such acts before the official statement. Now they are waiting It can be published after making a qualitative statement with the official statement.

However, to everyone's surprise, the official newspaper of the federal government announced that the cause of the accident was that the workers did not assemble the weapon in strict accordance with the regulations when manufacturing a secret weapon, which caused the weapon to activate and explode. All responsibilities, and state compensation for all those killed in the explosion, and corresponding compensation for damage to surrounding buildings and personnel. In short, the federal government fully bears all losses of the explosion.

As soon as this news came out, almost everyone who saw the newspaper subconsciously thought it must be fake news, because in the past so many years, the federal government has never compensated for any man-made or personal accidents. The legal profession has been around for several years, but this is the first time this term has appeared in an official newspaper, and even most people in the general public don't know what this term means.

After confirming that the news was true and not fake news, the news immediately became the center of popular discussion, and its topicality even surpassed the explosion itself. Many people in the legal and political circles believed that this was the federal government's civilization. An improvement in the system, the public believes that the federal government has a responsibility and will not shirk its responsibility.

However, there are also some patriots who think that in the case of constant wars on the national border, whether the federal government’s sudden payment of such a large amount of compensation will affect the federal government’s national funding chain. Some people even expressed their willingness to donate to the federal government to help the federal government. The government has weathered this difficult time.

However, after discussing the topic of federal government compensation for a few days, this topic was quickly covered up by another more attractive topic, which was what kind of secret weapon the federal government was making.

As news about the clean-up work at the explosion site continued to be released by various reporters, those who were not in Little Levi City gradually discovered that the explosion far exceeded their imagination.

At the beginning, those who read news about the bombing in newspapers felt unreal about the descriptions about the power of the explosion, thinking that those descriptions were just exaggerated by reporters to attract readers, but as the follow-up reports continued to be released, they realized that Those records about the power of the explosion are all true, and even slightly exaggerated.

Many people think of the big explosion that happened in the previous religious war that the Otto Federation saw. Although the explosion in Little Levi City is far from being comparable to the big explosion that changed the topography of an area in terms of power, but For ordinary people, it is already ruined.

A whole community was razed to the ground, and half of the small Livi City was in a mess. More than 5,000 people were directly killed, and as many as 100,000 people were indirectly injured. The damage and other data were presented in the newspapers, and some good people even drew a map of the extent of the damage based on the first-hand information recorded by various reporters, and this map of the extent of the damage was later published in the national news newspaper Come out, and restore the destructive power of the explosion to the public very intuitively.

At this moment, everyone is guessing what kind of secret weapon that factory is assembling. There is no doubt that if that secret weapon is placed on the battlefield, it can definitely influence the outcome of any war.

As for this issue, not only people from all sides in the Otter Federation are guessing, but even the surrounding church countries are also speculating about this weapon, and these church countries are frightened at the moment. On the border battlefield, on the third day after the explosion in Little Levi City, all the battlefields around the Otter Federation fell silent, and it was the army of the church country that stopped the attack first, even if it was attacked by the Otter Federation Even if the army attacked, they all chose to stand firm or retreat.

At the same time, the surrounding church countries also reported that they were willing to send envoys and the federal government to resolve the current disputes, and Mirtaros, the capital of the Otter Federation, also became a gathering place for spies from all parties at this time. The purpose of all espionage activities is to One, that is to find out the secret weapon.

"What? You want me to maximize the improvement of weapons?" Just as the outside world was disturbed by the explosion, Leo met with the Federal Congress and the special envoy of the military in a quiet hotel apartment. After hearing the other party's request, I was a little surprised.

The special envoy responded immediately: "Yes, as long as you can maximize improvement, we are willing to meet all your requirements."

"I want to read all your past research reports on that secret weapon, and personally participate in the research on that weapon," Leo was not polite, directly put forward his own conditions, and emphasized: "No discount Participation, and it will be implemented immediately, I don't want to wait until then, what excuses do you have to perfuse me."

The special envoy was silent for a while, and said, "This matter should not be a problem."

Leo said calmly: "Since that's the case, when will our couple start formally researching that secret weapon, and when will I maximize the improvement of the weapon."

The special envoy hesitated for a moment, didn't say anything more, got up and left the hotel apartment, it seems that he should convey Leo's conditions back, but from his attitude, it is not difficult to see that the conditions for the final approval of Leo should be nothing The problem, because compared to the secret weapon that has not been researched so far, the weapon invented by Leo is more in line with their current needs.

The secret weapon that caused the explosion of Little Levi City, which attracted the attention of the Federation and the heads of state, was the grenade made by Leo, but it was not a grenade that caused the explosion, but a total of 5,000 grenades in the entire warehouse. Multiple grenades ready to be shipped to the front lines.

As for the cause of the explosion, it should not be due to the assembly problem of the workers, because if there is a problem with the assembly, it will definitely detonate during assembly, not to mention that Leo took into account the cause of the accident during the design, so there is an activation break during assembly. Breakpoint device, only after the thing is fully assembled, the activation of the breakpoint device will fail.

Therefore, the final cause of the explosion may be the sabotage by church state spies and agents, as those people had guessed before.

According to the special envoy's explanation just now, after the bombing, the federal government was initially planning to push the incident to the hostile church state. It is suggested that not only the prestige of the federal government has not declined through this disaster, but it has been improved a lot. More importantly, the huge damage caused by this explosion has created a great deterrent to the surrounding church countries.

After all, for those church countries, maybe they can also use divine spells such as divine descent to cause similar damage to the most senior clergy in the church, but such powerful divine spells may only be used once in a lifetime. But now the Otter Federation is hinting that this kind of weapon can be mass-produced, how can this make these countries not panic.

Now for the surrounding church countries, the first thing that needs to be confirmed is whether this weapon can be mass-produced, and the most important point is who is the manufacturer of this weapon, and whether there is a chance to make the weapon manufacturing document Steal it.

The federal government is also very aware of this, and they don't think that Leo, the weapon maker, can hide for long. After all, Leo's reputation has spread in the surrounding countries. Just a little investigation will know that the arsenal that exploded is manufacturing weapons. What kind of weapon, so before the special envoy came to see Leo, the Otto Federation had already sent a large number of people to protect the safety of Leo and Sylvia inside and outside the hotel.

"I feel like we're in jail." Sylvia couldn't help laughing at herself as she looked through the window at the Secret Service security guards who thought they were hiding well.

Leo corrected: "If you can leave on your own, whether it is passive or active, then you are not in jail."

Sylvia didn't refute, walked to Leo and sat down, picked up the documents left by the special envoy, flipped through them casually, and said, "Are you really determined to help them enlarge their weapons?"

Leo shook his head without hesitation, and said: "There is no end to human greed. Now they let me maximize this weapon, and tomorrow they will let me weaponize other things. We don't need to follow their rhythm." Come and do things, after we get in touch with that secret weapon and finish researching what we want to study, we will leave here, go to Trube Mountain, and then go to the Old Continent."

Sylvia hesitated for a moment, and asked, "How do you explain to Longanus?"

Leo pointed to the manuscripts he had sorted out after interpreting the cuneiform characters, and said, "Those are enough."

"Do you already have an idea of ​​the weapons used in the mountains?" Sylvia asked again.

"The special envoy gave me some inspiration just now." Leo said with a smile.

Sylvia asked with some doubts: "How much power can this weapon exert when it is miniaturized?"

Leo said confidently: "If there are enough materials, I can make it as powerful as the explosion in Little Levi City. Even if the materials are not enough, I can still retain at least one-tenth of the power."

Seeing what Leo said, Sylvia didn't raise any doubts. She got up and handed some documents that she had just sorted out to Leo, saying: "This is the spy of the church countries in Miltaros and the one who was bought. list of officials."

"So many things were found out so quickly?" Leo took the document in surprise, looked at it, and found that the names on the top were high-ranking officials of the Otto Federation. He couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"It's not difficult, especially with the strength I have." Sylvia raised her head in satisfaction, and then added with a smile: "However, there is also some element of luck, who can Thinking that the first guy under my control turned out to be the underground intelligence leader of the Otto Federation, those materials have already been sorted into a share, and they are up for sale, but they finally fell into my hands." Said, She sighed and said, "I originally wanted to use this thing as a bargaining chip to get the federal government to agree to our conditions, but now it seems that this thing is no longer available."

"No, it's useful." Leo smiled and said: "When we leave, this thing can help us buy a little time, so that those people from the federal government will not always focus on us."

Sylvia quickly understood Leo's thoughts, smiled, took the document over again, and said, "I know what to do, leave it to me when the time comes."

On the following day, the entire Imperial Hotel became very restless. Various intrusions occurred continuously, more than a hundred of large and small, and most of them were stopped by the hotel security, but there were still some The fish that slipped through the net broke into the hotel garden, but the Secret Service, who had already set up various light and dark posts in the hotel garden, caught these rash intruders as easily as a rabbit.

After interrogation, some of these intruders were journalists from various parties stationed in Mirtaros, and the other part were local residents. They were all hired by strangers, and only a few of them were unidentified, but some of their characteristics There are traces, indicating that these people should all come from the church state.

Although the secret service security in the hotel garden stated that they had caught all the intruders, in fact they did not know that there were two other fish that slipped through their defense net, and these two fish that slipped through the net went smoothly. sneaked into the apartment where Leo and his wife lived.

However, before they had time to do anything, they were very unlucky to see the cuneiform rubbings that Leo deliberately placed on the table and the interpretation documents on the side, and the twisting force was generated on them in an instant and exploded, killing them They were distorted into two human sacrificial pillars, erected in the living room, and even though their bodies and even their brains were completely distorted together, they were still alive, and even judging from various signs, they were still able to think normally, and even maintained various senses and emotions.

Although Leo and Sylvia had seen all kinds of weird things, when they saw these two sacrificial pillars, they still felt an inexplicable chill from their backs and spread to their whole bodies.

Sylvia's first reaction was to burn them to ashes with the flames of the magic dragon, and completely make these two human sacrifice pillars disappear.

But Leo stopped her, because he found that the two human sacrifice pillars were not just two living creatures with twisted flesh and blood, but more likely two artifacts of unknown gods. He could clearly feel the two human sacrifice pillars. The sacrificial pillar is constantly producing distortion power, and it is different from the distortion power produced by the cuneiform rubbings. This distortion power seems to be controllable. The controllable here means that the power of the stone throne in Leo's body can control this power. The distorted power generated by the two human sacrifice pillars is as unimpeded as his own power.
