Civilization: Beyond Two Worlds

"What a nice view…"

Tina looked up at the sky and muttered to herself.

The dazzling brilliance continued to rush into the sky, blasting the splendid splendor.

Kant specifically asked that there is no such thing as fireworks in the other world.

He felt strange at first.

It is understandable that the outsiders did not find gunpowder for various reasons.

After all, in the history of the earth, Korea, Europe, Persia and even Japan all learned gunpowder technology directly or indirectly from China through wars, merchants, stealing and even hugging their thighs in the 13th and 14th centuries. That is to say, If it wasn't for the alchemists in ancient China who fiddled with this stuff, then these days, foreign devils from all over the world would probably have been eating farts until the discipline of chemistry was completely standardized.

It's not surprising that outsiders don't understand this.

But they have magic, and there are so-called alchemists.

Can't this level of sound and light effect be achieved?

The answer is that it can be done, but no one does it.

The mages study issues such as how to make the fireball bigger and throw the ice gun farther, improve a spell with strong applicability, or simplify its element model, or increase its power, or reduce its magic consumption, Papers published with such results will earn themselves prestige and practical benefits.

The Arcane Council and the magic academies of various countries have established a complete system, using magic patents, impact factors and honor evaluations to integrate spellcasters from all over the continent into a huge whole, so as to concentrate everyone's wisdom. With power, it promotes the continuous expansion and extension of the magic system, and drives the continuous development and progress of the magic guide level of the entire plane.

In this extremely utilitarian system, no magician can study such a boring thing as magic fireworks. Gein spellcasters are extremely proud. They call themselves the pioneers of the world and are walking on the lonely road of exploring the ultimate answer to the world. , who would use his life's path and achievements to please others.

Powerful spellcasters disdain to do this kind of thing, and low-level spellcasters can't do it. With the poor mana of a junior wizard, even if they are to serve as human fireworks launchers, they can also put at most a few open sky thunders or white dragons. As soon as the beads are spit, the mana will dry up, and as for the apprentice, it is estimated that they will be able to withstand seven or eight kicks.

Vegetables.

As for alchemists, the truth is similar.

Just like universities on earth also have popular and unpopular subjects, the profession of alchemist is extremely general and covers a lot of fields. The most popular ones are materials science, potions, enchantment, botany, and architecture. Most of the talented alchemists have gone to study these.

Materials science can improve smelting and manufacturing recipes to obtain stronger armor and more powerful weapons. Enchanting is even more so. Botany is used to improve crops for more yield benefits. Potions are used for combat and medical treatment. Not to mention architecture. Having said that, these are urgently needed by the countries. Alchemists who specialize in these subjects are rich and have high social status, and are warmly sought after and treated by the countries.

Just like the popular industries such as finance and IT in those years on earth.

And other disciplines are naturally unpopular, just like the earth. If you study medicine, your legs will be broken by your family. If you study civil engineering, you will be hung up at home. You are still being picked up by people from all walks of life every day, so who can learn this?

In this employment environment, how could alchemists go to study fireworks and the like.

So, this is probably the first time gunpowder has burned in the sky of another world.

The light is gorgeous and magnificent, the colors are colorful, the so-called fire tree silver flower, but that's it, after all, it is enchanted with various elements, and its momentum is naturally far more than the original.

The princess raised her head, revealing a look of surprise and joy.

Even knights are no exception.

Good things are always appreciated and always pleasing.

"Is this what you use for celebrations and prayers?" In the sound that shook the sky, Tina turned her head and looked at Kant with light in her eyes and smiled happily, "Aurora has become like this. I am both amazed and envied, and it is wonderful to be able to focus on making beautiful things.”

Kant just smiled and said nothing.

He suddenly remembered what Mr. Lu Xun said - the Chinese invented gunpowder, but used it to make fireworks, while the Westerners used it to make firearms.

Probably means this.

This may sound a little biased, but it actually makes sense. Since the invention of gunpowder, although ancient China continued to develop various gunpowder weapons, there was no fundamental improvement—the West deduced black gunpowder through rigorous scientific theories The most suitable formula for the gunpowder, and China has repeatedly used the Five Elements Theory to explain the principle of gunpowder, and the production process is extremely rough and has not been improved. Compared with the gunpowder of Western countries in the nineteenth century, Chinese gunpowder is really only suitable for light fireworks.

However, today is different from the past.

Chinese gunpowder can not only be used to make fireworks, but also can be used to make firearms that move mountains and seas.

He glanced at the smiling princess.

The Chinese already know what to do.

There are not only gorgeous fireworks shining in the sky, but also death flowers blooming in the earth.

If Mr. Lu Xun knew about it, he would also feel relieved. Chinese people can also make powerful weapons with gunpowder, and... every Chinese person can know how to do it.

Of course, the Chinese Kant, who was exiled to another world, also knew it.

Even if you don't know the exact ratio, you can infer it from the optimal chemical reaction equation for the combustion of black powder... Hundreds of years ago, only the most outstanding chemists could discover this. Now, every serious study Middle school students can do it.

Kant looked up at the splendor that kept flying into the air.

These fireworks introduce the power of elements, which are more splendid and brilliant than the original version. They are not like fireworks, so they can scare the elves who have seen the world. For Kant, the more important thing is...

"Gunpowder can also introduce the power of elements to produce magical properties..."

The combination of this golden finger and various earth products can generate countless possibilities.

In an instant, a strange emotion surged in his heart. In the dark, he seemed to understand something, as if he had caught something, as if he had thought of something.

"Kant?" The girl noticed his strangeness. "What's wrong?"

Kant came back to his senses, still smiling.

The matter of gunpowder made him suddenly have many, many thoughts and ideas.

He thought, with the books in the bookstore, with the earth's materials within the besieged city, with the education, ideas and concepts he had received, plus this magical golden finger, maybe an ordinary person from the earth could also be in the Let's do a career in this different world... just like the protagonist in the story.

But it's not a story after all, he's a real person.

He does not have such a strong psychological quality, and can quickly leave his parents, family and familiar life behind after crossing the road. His heart is to be able to return home safely and reunite with his relatives, compared to the great cause of turbulent storms and coexistence of crisis and wealth, He prefers to live in peace and stability so as not to die in a foreign land.

According to the general routine of the story, he will probably leave the island with Tina, and devote himself to Goethe's anti-aggression war without hesitation, helping Goethe climb the technology tree, helping Goethe defeat the elves, helping Goethe establish hegemony, and then marry the princess and rule the country. , to the pinnacle of life.

So so.

But the reality is always more complicated than the story.

The reality is that he doesn't have a deep friendship with these Gothic people, and he is involved in their war with the elves just to protect himself. He has desires and ambitions, but he wants to go home more than this.

If he was given two choices, the first was to stay in another world and fight for the emperor's dominance, and the second was to return to Earth, then he would definitely choose the latter.

Because there are wars in the other world, there are dragons, magic, etc., and there are gods, maybe one day he will encounter trouble and return to the earth - his current physical fitness is better than the peak level of human beings on earth. A few, there are also golden fingers like extraction and enchantment. It is better to return to Earth to be the protagonist of urban literature than to be the protagonist of otherworldly hegemony. It must not be cool.

so…

He looked at the beautiful girl who was close at hand, hesitant in his heart.

It is said that Tina has a mission and will not stay here for too long. After defeating the elves, the next question will surface - the Goethe will definitely leave, how should he choose?

In other words, I don't go with Tina to avoid being blocked by the elves at sea, so what are the chances of the Penguin encountering the elves again at sea? What are the chances of surviving?

If I ask Tina and the captain to wait for the Penguin to send Tina to the Imperial City, and then come back to pick me up to sea, how likely are they to agree? What do I need to pay? Will they think I'm not enough friends, so they won't let me?

And, if I decide to leave with Tina, what is my identity and how do I get along with the Goethes? What should I do after arriving on the mainland, go all the way to the black and continue to fight with the elves? Of course not, but if not, what am I going to do? Act in what capacity?

- Kant is a person who likes to think about things very much.

Especially living on a desert island, he thinks about it almost every day.

As soon as the thinking moves toward this direction, it cannot stop.

"Kant?"

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, the princess asked again, "Should we go?"

Kant just came back to his senses. At the same time, the mobile phone began to vibrate, and the set alarm clock rang. He nodded and waved his hand in the air. Several seabirds flew down and grabbed the remains of the fireworks that had been set off. He got up and lifted off quickly, he took a deep breath and said, "Let's go."

The knight who had not spoken all the time said solemnly: "Will the elves be fooled?"

Kant glanced at the rift. He spent a long time tossing around in it, and arranged for the animals to be responsible for switching the buttons inside. Although it was hasty, he was still somewhat confident.

"At least those things will scare the elves... As long as they feel that this place is very important, there are very great things, and the Goethes must not be the first to get there, so that's fine."

"The real battlefield is not here," he said.

The knight nodded: "Understood... The key to the outcome of this battle is whether we can successfully capture or destroy the Wayne Wing. As long as the elves have no ships to use, then all the initiative will fall into our hands."

"Not only that."

Kant smiled when he listened to the sound of the tide not far away.

The knight raised his eyebrows and said, "Please enlighten me."

"You'll know when the time comes... Maybe you're not sure if you're sure."

Kande said lightly: "Next, it's time to give this stage to our elf friends, I hope they can have fun in it."

The knight glanced vigilantly at the cracked mouth, and his soul was filled with a dangerous aura.

"In here..." he asked, "what is it?"

Previously, Kant and his animal friends went in with big bags and small bags. The knight and the princess were left outside. After a few hours, Kant came out in a dismal face and asked what was inside. He didn't say anything, but looked. He looked like he had fought a few times fiercely.

"It's something dangerous. I only walked a short distance. If I'm not mistaken, this is the source of the black beast mutation on the island... As for what it is..."

Kant said with a smile: "Let our elf friends have a good look at it."

The knight said uneasy: "If there is really something powerful in it, it was obtained by the elves..."

Kant patted him on the shoulder: "I originally only had seven points of peace of mind, but if you say so, it will rise to nine points... Don't worry, I have already made arrangements, and after the capture of the ship, if things don't work out, we can still escape. "

"...what arrangement?"

"A previously unused arrangement."

North Second Island, the valley where Kant lives, the door of the warehouse has been dismantled, pigeons are cooing, some huge birds are gathered in the square, and oil drums have been pushed out.

Elsewhere on the island, in the camp of the Goths, in front of Captain Oswald stood a row of spirited and eager sailors and sergeants, the ships waiting.

On the Wings of Wayne, Master Lacles returned to the ship with a mixture of excitement and frustration. After the beam of light soared into the sky, the captain and Ser Taizer finally decided to send troops, but he was still invited back to the ship - after all, he was on the ship. Sacred Seal Island, a spellcaster like him can't help, but will become a burden.

Hope they get something...

The master whispered hopefully.

Pushing open the cabin door, he froze for a moment, a little surprised, because the parrot that flew away during the day was standing on his hanger at this moment and said to him in Elvish: "Welcome! Welcome!"

"Little guy, I thought you were gone forever."

I have to say, this made him feel a little happy, he walked to his magic platform, ready to continue the experiment that he had not done before, and said as he walked: "If this operation goes well, we will definitely gain a lot, I will I have won great honors and promotions, and when I return to my hometown, I will…”

Suddenly, he was startled.

Because he found that there was a piece of holy artifact missing from the magic platform.

The warhammers, short clubs, long knives and other fragments are all there, but the dagger is missing.

The next moment, he felt a chill.
