Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 175 Greek Fire Skill Mastery

After dealing with the dairy recipes of the Ottoman Sultan, Liang En began to assemble a flamethrower for Greek fire in the farm's warehouse.

According to the card's instructions, he needs to make the ancient flamethrower as it is, and then use legendary points to convert it into a part of the card to perfect the [Greek Fire (R)] skill.

Thanks to the information age, and Liang En's family happened to live near Dublin, the capital of Ireland.So it only took him a little time to get all the raw materials he needed, and then Ding Ding Dang Dang started to get busy.

As a child who grew up on a farm, Liang En was familiar with all kinds of manual work since he was a child.So it is not so difficult for him to make a flamethrower with detailed instructions.

When he started working, Liang En discovered that he had the right to improve part of the content about the flamethrower, but because this power comes from the traces left in history, the improvement rate can exceed 10% of the whole.

For example, the crude joints of the original flamethrower, which could only be sealed with leather, can be replaced by modern ones with rubber gaskets and high-precision machined joints.

And those leather pipes and handmade metal parts that are extremely leaky can also be replaced by modern rubber pipes and more modern metal parts.

But other than that, Liang En can't change many things. For example, the core power part of the flamethrower can only use the oldest siphon plus low-level pressurization as power.

In fact, at the beginning, he also tried to replace those original power sources with the most common high-pressure vessels of modern flamethrowers, but the result was judged to be inconsistent with history and could not be carded at all.

The same thing that cannot be carded is the use of metal materials that are obviously smelted by modern means, such as stainless steel or titanium alloy.

After a brief summary, Liang En found that one of the prerequisites for the flamethrower to be turned into a card is something that people in the era when the Greek fire really existed could make it.

For example, the top craftsmen in ancient times could also produce refined metal parts, and occasionally in iron and steel smelting, a little bit of performance can be smelted that is close to the performance of today's industrially manufactured steel.

The reason why they didn't do that in history is because these technologies are not only extremely cost-effective, but also the output is very accidental, so they cannot be mass-produced as weapons at all.

As for the rubber pipes, Liang En replaced them after repeated thinking. Although compared with the replacement of joints and metal parts, the improvement quota consumed by these rubber pipes is terribly high, but from the perspective of cost performance, it is completely worth it. of.

In addition to the flamethrower, he also used those ancient materials to restore an ancient Roman ballista, because the Greek fire can use various weapons to project jars filled with Greek fire in addition to being sprayed with a flamethrower.

So this [Greek Fire (R)] card also has two ways to use it. In addition to spraying flames, it can naturally launch a container filled with Greek fire that burns on contact.

Because the projectile weapon designated by the Greek fire is the ancient Roman ballista or torsion trebuchet, Liang En planned to copy a heavy ballista at first, but unfortunately the heavy ballista exceeded the upper limit of the size of the card, so he had to retreat next best.

Fortunately, the range of this ballista that meets the requirements is not too bad. During the test on the farm, it can shoot 1.2kg things as far as 150m away, and the range of direct fire is also about 50m.

In fact, the torsion trebuchet can shoot farther than the ballista under the same circumstances, but the problem is that this weapon can't shoot directly, so Liang En naturally gave up.

Thankfully, those restrictions on modern items are limited to those items' bodies.So Liang En was able to use various modern tools in his work, saving a lot of time and effort.

Of course, the projection tool wasn't the only thing Liang En made these days.Relative to these catapults, the Greek fire fuel itself is the most important.

Fortunately, with the skill [Pharmaceutical Manufacturing (N)], Liang En not only successfully prepared the fuel for the Greek fire, but also used the skill to make this dangerous liquid safe by consuming legendary points. Not a lot.

Finally, a week after starting work, he successfully completed all the preparations, and then began to use his strength to complete the [Greek Fire (R)] card.

The entire card conversion work was completed in the warehouse. After confirming that everything was safe, Liang En communicated with the [Greek Fire (R)] card with his own will, and at the same time poured the power of legend into it.

As the power of legend entered the card, Liang En began to put his hands on the things that needed to be converted according to the new instructions from that card, and then his attention guided the infusion of power generated by the card due to the power of legend. among these things.

When strands of power entered these items, the items began to gradually disappear, and finally turned into nothingness.And after each item disappears, the [Greek Fire (R)] card will become brighter, and the pattern around the card will gradually become more vivid.

In the end, everything on the field was converted into a part of the card, and at this time the content on the card also changed.

[Greek Fire (R): Once this powerful flame-throwing weapon saved the Eastern Roman Empire and maintained the national fortune of this ancient empire for thousands of years.

But now, this power that was once lost in history will be revived and become a powerful boost for the historical explorer, helping him to solve various obstacles on the way forward.

Skill card (permanent), with which you can prepare spell-casting props and spell-casting materials in advance and turn them into cards by consuming legendary power, and then you can flexibly control those flames that seem to come from hell.

Every legendary point combined with a liter of Greek fire fuel can launch an attack, and this attack can be manifested by the user choosing the following two forms:
Flame jet form: each attack can spray a tongue of flame with a range of 18m. In addition to a single attack, it can also perform long jets by continuously consuming fuel and legendary points.

Flame Throwing Form: Each attack is like using a ballista to launch a container containing one liter of Greek fire fuel, with a maximum range of 150m and a direct shot of 50m. The projectile will be ignited when it touches liquid or solid for the first time.

Note 1: When the skill is used, the launch point is located at any point within 1m around the body, and the aiming of the target needs to be within the line of sight and locked with mental power without any additional actions.

Note 2: The upper limit of fuel that the card can store is equivalent to seven times the upper limit of the user's legendary points. For example, if the user has 9 destiny points, he can store 63 liters of fuel. 】

"The first hand is fireball, which is really exciting." That night, Liang En was surprised by the magic effect after performing those skills on a sandy field in the manor with a fire extinguisher while no one was paying attention.

Because when he chooses to use his skills, there is really a tongue of flame flying out from his side, or a mass of ice-like objects flying towards the target and exploding a mass of sparks.
