The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

"The effect of this bottle of medicine is good, the physical fitness has been improved a lot, and the eyesight has also evolved to the point where it is beyond ordinary people. The side effects are very small. After taking it, it is weak for about half a day." Sylvia will test the bottles. The remaining empty bottle of the potion was placed on the table, and then he carefully introduced: “This potion has the best effect and the greatest improvement in physical fitness. It can be comparable to a Templar warrior who has undergone a godly blessing ceremony, but the side effects are also very high. There are some mutated tissues on the user, but fortunately it is hidden. The effects of the other bottles of medicine are very general. Although the physical fitness is improved after use, the improvement is not particularly large, and after the medicine is used You need to eat a lot. There is a danger of losing your mind during the eating process, and even signs of attacking people appear. After a large amount of food, your sense will recover, but your personality will change a bit."

"These potions mainly use the blood of the same mutant monster." Leo looked at the bottle on the table, with a trace of doubt on his face, and said: "It's just that the auxiliary materials that match the blood are different. But their medicinal effects are so different, it's almost like changing a potion. It seems that the power that caused the uncontrollable mutation of the beast is also left in the monster's blood and affects the potion's effect."

"Then what to do?" Sylvia couldn't help frowning when she heard Leo's words.

"There are two options, one is to continue to use this medicine, but before selling, divide the effect of these medicines and formulate several qualities. The one that pays more will naturally have good effect, less side effects, and less money. You can only use the one with high side effects and low effect.” Leo seemed to have anticipated this a long time ago, so he quickly gave two answers, saying: “The other option is not to use monster blood as a potion. The main medicine of the medicine uses other materials. In that case, it will increase a lot of additional costs and it is also very troublesome to make. It is impossible for a very skilled alchemist or pharmacist to produce a bottle of qualified medicine."

"Is this kind of potion made from monster blood essence easy to make now?" Sylvia asked suspiciously.

"It's very simple. I have considered mass production and production issues when I researched and developed it. I especially simplified the production method so that even an ordinary person can make it." Leo spoke and ordered Sylvia to the next one. In a small room.

I saw that there were some various equipment made by Leo during the recent period. Leo went directly to a device that looked like a food box, opened the top cover, and took out one from the inside. The metal test tube, took out a bottle of monster blood to be used for testing from the side, filled the test tube, and then inserted the test tube into the original position and closed the lid of the food box.

After that, he was seen turning on a small steam engine next to the food box. The gear of the steam engine immediately drove the food box to rotate rapidly. It was not until a few minutes later that he stopped the steam engine and stopped turning in the food box. Later, he took out the test tube and handed it to Sylvia, motioning her to take a look.

Sylvia opened the sealing plug of the test tube and looked inside and found that the blood that should have been very viscous had now become a clear liquid, and the viscous blood had sunk to the bottom and became more viscous. thick.

"Is the blood so simple that it has been extracted and refined?" Seeing this scene, even if Sylvia didn't know much about alchemy and knew exactly what was going on, she asked immediately in surprise.

In Sylvia’s memory, the medical school life school scholars and blood wizard Lawrence recruited by the Dodd Group often needed to refine some monster blood or liquid materials, and the methods they used were very cumbersome and complicated, and they took a lot of time. Longest and shortest, it takes a little bit of time to achieve the refining effect, and even a little mistake in the refining process will give up all the work.

And now Leo has completed the refining of the blood in such a short time, and the refining process is so simple, as Leo said, even an ordinary person can operate it, and more importantly, Leo's refined The blood is clearer than the blood extracted by the blood wizard Lawrence through the secret method. Although she does not know what effect this has on the use, according to common sense, the clearer and the fewer impurities, the stronger the effect will naturally be.

"This is a centrifuge that can be used to extract liquid materials." Leo briefly introduced the centrifuge he modified and pointed out the functions of each component in detail.

If Leo wanted to make a centrifuge with the same effect in the past, I am afraid that a steam oven the size of a room would be needed, and the gears and other components would also need to be made separately, and the effect would not be as good as the current one.

However, as the world began to mutate, various mechanical parts were able to double or even more than ten times their efficiency while maintaining the same power consumption, allowing Leo to miniaturize and modularize this centrifuge.

While listening carefully to Leo’s introduction of the centrifuge, Sylvia also came up with other uses for this centrifuge. She felt that with this, perhaps the medical department she had planned for a long time could be successfully established. Those of the life school don't have to stay in the laboratory in Bran Forest, wasting the knowledge in their minds.

"With this centrifuge, how much does it cost to make the physique medicine that uses monster blood as the main raw material?" Sylvia asked with concern after hearing the introduction about the centrifuge.

Leo reported a number.

"What about the potion that doesn't use this monster blood?" Sylvia asked again.

Leo reported another estimated figure.

When Sylvia heard this number, Sylvia couldn't help being silent for a moment. This number didn't mean much to her, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it was definitely an addition. The cost of the two medicines was more than a hundred times different.

However, think about it, there are a lot of mutant monsters outside the city. Every time the monsters die outside the walls of Odolin, the monster bodies pile up like a mountain, and it takes several days for the whole city to completely remove it, so The blood and organs of these monsters are cheaper than wild beasts, and only a few monsters with extraordinary powers have special value.

The herbs or minerals with special effects are difficult to find on the market. They need to go deep into the forests and mountains where monsters grow. In the past, it was very difficult to find these materials without the threat of monsters. A large number of mutant monsters are entrenched in this kind of place. Any entry into the forest and mountains is a test of life and death, and the price is naturally high.

Without thinking about it, Sylvia chose to continue to use monster blood as the main material of the medicine, because she knew that although it is safer to use other materials, the price is too high. If the people use it, it would violate the plan they had made earlier.

Although the efficacy of potions made from the blood of mutant monsters will be uncertain, if the potions are refined through some methods to distinguish the level of potency and side effects, the potions are divided into several grades, and the effect The medicines that are too bad or have too great side effects are discarded, even if it will cause some cost increase, but compared to the type of medicine that requires special personnel to refine and high material costs, she can still make a lot of money, and can also be mass-produced.

After that, Sylvia discussed with Leo, and waited a few days to send someone to Leo to learn how to make this monster blood medicine, and by the way, he also learned how to make and assemble the centrifuge parts.

After discussing various matters, Sylvia was about to leave and come back in two days, but when she was about to leave the mine, she suddenly thought of something, turned back, and said to Leo: "I still forgot One thing, the long night period is coming in a few days. According to the news released by the shaman church, this long night period will last for more than 20 days. There will definitely be a tide of monsters. How did Doreen resist the monster tide? I'll have someone arrange you on the wall at that time."

The long night period is a unique phenomenon in the mainland of Mozambique. At first it only appeared in the depths of the wasteland. Almost every year, certain areas in the depths of the wasteland would fall into the dark for several days or even ten days. The weird thing is that the long night period only occurs in a specific place. Once you leave that place, it instantly becomes the day. Therefore, during the long night period, one step is the dark night, and a step back is the wonder of the day.

It’s just that for people whose lives are affected by the long night period, such a spectacle is a big issue that they have to worry about every year, because all living things will be more or less affected by the land within the long night period. This kind of mysterious power invasion, this kind of power will not let people gain any mysterious power, but it will affect the mood of others, making the affected people become particularly warlike and violent.

Although the long night period is so dangerous, before the world changes, the long night period occurs in the depths of the wasteland, and shamanism can often predict the location and Fan Wei covered by the long night period, and notify the tribe there to leave in advance. So the long night period is not a particularly big trouble in the wasteland.

But as the world changes, the long-night coverage is also rapidly expanding, and the edge of the range is also expanding toward the outside, gradually walking out of the wasteland and entering the civilized country of the mainland of Mozambique.

Five years ago, the Long Night Period also included O'Doryn into it, and the residents of Odolin also saw how bad the bad effects of the Long Night Period were. Don't mention the monsters outside the city controlled by violent thoughts. The city’s residents, who received the effects of the long night period, changed their personality, and became extremely violent, dealt a heavy blow to the unsuspecting Odolin. At the same time as the monster wave in Odolin City, there were riots among the low-level people inside, and The riots were so great that it affected the fortifications on the city wall, and Odolin City was almost breached.

Later, O'Dorraine paid special attention to the time of the long night period each year, and made various preparations. In addition to increasing a large number of patrol guards and city defense troops, the city government will also distribute a copy to everyone in the city to resist. With the mysterious infecting potion that appears during the long night, this potion will make a person's character unaffected by external forces and become extremely violent for a period of time.

However, these are only some information that can be made public about the hidden dangers of the long night period, and there are also some information that cannot be made publicly known to the public. These materials all mention that some unexpected and strange things will happen after the long night period. Leo didn't say much in the information that Leo saw.

After recalling the relevant information for a while, Leo asked puzzledly: "I remember the long night period should not happen in a few months? Why does it suddenly appear now?"

"I don't know this, but the shamanism has issued an announcement, it should not be fake." Sylvia said seriously.

Shamanism deals with the long night period, and has compiled a very complete set of secrets that can accurately know the time of the long night period, and the error is less than one day, so once the Shaman church publishes an announcement, it means that the long night period is true is coming.

The reason for the long night period has always been a mystery. Even the shaman who has been studying the long night period is at a loss and ignorant of this strange phenomenon, but Leo felt that the so-called long night period should be related to the movement of celestial bodies. At a certain time of the year, a satellite in the sky happened to block between the sun and a certain area of ​​the Mossan continent in the world of Velen, which caused the appearance and disappearance of the long night period, some of which are like solar eclipses.

As for why the coverage of the long night period will expand, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is also very simple to explain, that is, the huge obscured satellite is approaching the world of Vinylon, and its shape is getting larger, so the covered area will naturally be Got bigger.

But such a statement obviously cannot explain other things. For example, the creatures in the long night period become violent and aggressive, and there will be all kinds of strange things that even the Church of the True God and Shamanism cannot figure out.

"Don't worry." Seeing Leo frowned, Sylvia thought he was worried about his safety during the long night, so she said: "This is not the first time I have encountered the long night, the power of the long night. It won’t affect me at all, and as long as you are not alone, there are many people around you, and you won’t encounter any weird things. Don’t worry about this. On the contrary, you may stay here alone... "

Leo gestured to Sylvia, smiled and shook his head, and said: "It's okay, I just want to see what the secret of this famous long night period is."

Sylvia looked at Leo, who was eager to sample his clothes, raised her eyebrows, and warned: "Just look at it. Don't be missing for another twenty years. If it's really like that, I won't wait for you again. Twenty years."

Hearing this, Leo smiled helplessly, nodded and made a promise to Sylvia.
