Working Prophet.

Chapter 199 Anatomy of a Dragon
Yi Liya's busy feet never touched the ground, and Li Yu's side was also not idle.

After the war ended, he counted the losses first. First of all, in terms of personnel, twelve Lizardmen and eight fighters from the Arias family were killed in this battle, and 35 others were injured.

Because the power of the black dragon is too amazing, being hit by its wings or tail is almost certain to die.

Therefore, the wounded who survived were all burns without exception. Fortunately, most of the injuries were not too serious. Only two people had severe burns, and the rest were basically first- and second-degree burns.

Li Yu called Adele to help him clean up and bandage the wound, and then gave the wounded oral antibiotics to prevent infection. As for the two severe burns, Li Yu would definitely not be able to do skin grafting, so he could only suspend them. Glucose was used to rehydrate them, and some painkillers were added to relieve the pain.

So far, he has almost finished what he can do, and the rest can only depend on their own good fortune.

In addition to the loss of personnel, Li Yu also lost blood this time in terms of equipment. He lost two Sea King Halberds as soon as he came up. I think he spent a lot of time when he asked Fitzwilliam to build the first Sea King Halberd. Thousands of gold coins, this is not counting the labor cost.

Although it will continue to be built in the future, and the expenditure can be further reduced with the improvement of the manufacturing process and the increase in proficiency, but seven or eight hundred gold coins are still required.

And the black dragon's two mouthfuls of fire directly evaporated at least [-] gold coins from him.

However, it is relatively easy to make up for purely financial losses.

In fact, Ilea has promised to share the harvest with the Shuangxiu Cult [-]/[-]. The reward from the Figuerola family alone is five thousand golden lions, which is enough for the Shuangxiu Cult to build six more Sea King Halberds.

For Li Yu, what really distressed him was the loss of an outdoor power bank and the Qianjiang motorcycle picked up for him by [Environmental Frog].

Especially the latter, because Li Yu was usually reluctant to ride because of the need to burn gasoline, so he rode it a few times during the test drive, and then put it in the yard, and mainly relied on horses for commuting.

Just a few days ago, Li Yu did some maintenance for his beloved car, but this motorcycle did not disappoint him, and made a shining debut in the dragon slaying battle.

The scene of Li Yu riding it to kill the black dragon was unforgettable for everyone present. It also made the name of the God of Saturday resound throughout the green field, and it became a classic scene in the mouths of countless bards in the years to come.

To say that the only downside is that it is a bit of a waste motorcycle.

That motorcycle was a veritable ashes when it first appeared on the stage. It was hit by a black dragon's powerful tail swing, and it was torn apart on the spot.

Li Yu later tried to search for its wreckage, wanting to see what other parts could be recycled, and finally found a rearview mirror, which was still covered with cracks.

So Prophet Merlin can only accept the reality of losing his favorite ride, and he doesn't know when [Environmental Frog] will give him another one.

It's better to be electric, so you don't have to bring gasoline.

After counting the losses, it is natural to count the gains and expand the results.

The former was counted first by Ilea, while the latter Li Yu also sent the first batch of missionaries after the lifting of the ban, and began to operate around the green field.

As for himself, he began to study the black dragon.

Li Yu is very interested in this legendary creature that has always existed only in fictional literature, especially the question of how this dragon flies and breathes fire.

After dissecting the corpse, Li Yu also got some answers.

In terms of flight, this black dragon took off with a pair of powerful hind legs kicking off the ground as he had previously expected, and at the same time his pair of wide wings could be constantly waving and propelling like a bird. Air, which provides lift.

But this is still not enough to support its huge body soaring into the air.

The real secret lies in a stomach-like organ in the dragon's body. Li Yu named it the second stomach. The second stomach is very large, accounting for almost one-fifth of the dragon's body.

It stores a large amount of biogas and a part of hydrogen.

Li Yu was also taken aback when he found out, because the power of this thing is comparable to a bomb. If it is not handled properly, if it is accidentally detonated, everyone close to him, including himself, will be killed. live.

If you don't believe me, you can search for whale explosions yourself.The methane and hydrogen sulfide in the body of the whale after death are decomposed by bacteria, and the volume is far smaller than that of the black dragon.

Li Yu didn't know how its second stomach evolved, and it could withstand extreme pressure, which allowed the dragon to store a large amount of methane and hydrogen in its body.

This also explains why it was first discovered in the swamp, because there is a large amount of methane in the swamp, and it is well known that the density of methane and hydrogen is lower than that of air, so these methane and hydrogen provide it with a Extra buoyancy.

Let it soar in the sky with its huge body.

At the same time, the biogas and hydrogen are also the fuel of the black dragon, combined with oxygen and catalysts (Li Yu speculates that it may be the static electricity in the black dragon's body, or the friction from somewhere, but unfortunately there is no way to verify it) for it to spit out flames.

After realizing this, Li Yu took out the second stomach of the black dragon.

He hasn't figured out how to use this thing, but it is undoubtedly a good thing. In terms of toughness alone, no synthetic material in the universe he lives in can match.

In addition, Li Yu is also very curious about the tissues in the black dragon's throat and mouth, because they are not afraid of fire, and they are obviously a very good refractory material.

Maybe we can find a way to process it into a fire-resistant suit or something, with the attribute [fire resistance + 100%].

As for those scales, they are also much lighter than Li Yu imagined. They are obviously the top materials for making shields and armors. With shields and armors, of course, there must be warriors who can wear them.

That's right, Li Yu didn't intend to follow the line of the Silver Moon Church and give up his arms.

This can certainly win the favor of the nobles and ease their wariness, but history has proved countless times that no matter what kind of world you plan to build, if you don't have enough force to protect it, it is just a castle in the air.

It is like a castle made of sand, which can be destroyed by a gust of wind.

And this time the crisis that swept across the western border proved this point again. Without the lizardmen warriors of the Shuangxiu Cult, the Arias family alone would not be enough to deal with the black dragon.
