Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 41: The Wisdom of the Devil
"Renault, can the'industrial system' you mentioned really defeat the Black Orcs?" Angela asked hopefully after listening to Renault's long talk.
Renault nodded seriously, and said solemnly: "I can swear!"
Moose, who has been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "According to the method you said, even if we can produce more and better steel, sharper weapons and stronger armor, I am afraid that we will not be able to defeat the stronger black. Orcs..."
Renault glanced at him, smiled and said, "No, the weapons I'm talking about are not cold weapons like swords, but thermal weapons! Using a more advanced industrial system, we can make thermal weapons!"
"With the hot weapon, we don't need to fight the black orcs at close range, we can kill them 200 meters away..."
Moose was taken aback: "Really 200 meters?" There was a deep surprise in his voice.
Renault said with certainty: "If the air tightness is better and there is enough thrust, the kinetic energy of the muzzle can be higher, and it can be done at 300 meters!"
Angela asked curiously: "What is air tightness, and what is muzzle kinetic energy?"
Reynolds was waiting for this sentence, and he immediately explained it endlessly, throwing out a lot of professional terms.
As he expected, the girl's eyes were completely blank when she heard it, and she kept blinking. This poor girl was already fainted by Renault.
As a mechanical dog proficient in mouth cannons, Renault knows that the best way to convince people is to pretend to be a professional!
So how do you make others believe that you are a professional? The method is very simple. It is to make a lot of mystery and talk about a lot of professional terms, and they must also be professional terms that make people understandable.
Renault has fooled many people in this way. He believes that since this set can deal with the people of the earth, it can definitely deal with the people of other worlds.
Although Moose and Angela didn't understand what kind of weapon could kill an enemy 200 meters away, under the flick of a bunch of professional terms, they gradually began to believe that Renault could really make this kind of weapon.
After Renault finished explaining, Moose pondered for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Just follow your plan, let's go to the beach!"
After a pause, he whispered again: "Maybe, I should visit an old man, I don't know if I can find him..."
Renault made it!
The reason why Moose decided to take a gamble with Renault was because Renault had gained the "Devil's Wisdom". There was another very important reason. Like Renault, he did not believe that those nobles could fight against the powerful army of black orcs.
When he joined the Kingdom's Northern Legion, and during the years when he fought against the Black Orcs in the Andes, he deeply experienced the corruption and incompetence of the nobles.
At least one-third of the military expenditure allocated to the Northern Army by the kingdom every year is swallowed up and down by noble officers. Everyone has a share from the ministers of the army to the noble officers at the bottom of the army.
The same is true for the military supplies delivered to the front lines. A large part of them will be privately distributed by the noble officers in the name of wastage and secretly sold to the Chamber of Commerce.
The frontline fighters seldom ate when they were fully fed, and often fought against the black orcs with hunger. Even in the most critical moment, most of the quartermaster's thoughts were on how to deduct the soldiers' rations.
In addition, Moose knows the terrible black orcs, especially these black **** have occupied most of the Glory Continent, they have obtained more and more resources, and their strength is getting stronger. He can be sure that even if all the human kingdoms are now united, I'm afraid it can't stop the army of black orcs.
What's more, there have been conflicts between the major kingdoms. Even at this time, there are still endless intrigues between each other, and it is impossible to unite.
Therefore, he very much agrees with Renault's words: Instead of dragging it into the hopeless situation, it is better to let it go!
Even if Renault fails, hiding on the island is the most probable plan for survival. The Black Orcs will not turn their eyes to the ocean until all the human kingdoms have been wiped out.
According to the plan, the three people will go to the Gulf Sea next to the east coast of the kingdom, and the speed must be fast.
Because the army of black orcs is going all the way to the east of the kingdom to conquer the city, if they reach the Gulf Sea first, they will probably block the main port or even the channel, which will cause huge trouble for the three of them.
However, this difficult journey, which is more than a thousand kilometers, almost traverses half of the continent, is full of obstacles along the way. To complete it, it requires tremendous courage and extraordinary efforts!
Renault was staring at an incredibly flat stone slab. After adjusting the temperature slightly, he lightly waved his right hand and a large piece of animal flesh flew over and hovered over the slab.
The dagger came out of its sheath automatically and flew to the side of the beast meat, as if being overtaken by an invisible big hand, it began to cut the beast meat quickly.
After the beast meat was cut off, it fell directly onto the hot stone slab, and the sound of "Zizi" immediately sounded.
Under the high temperature emitted by the slate, the oil penetrated, the surface of the meat slices turned brown, and an extremely strong meat fragrance emerged.
Renault is now making slate barbecue!
Under the Maillard reaction, a series of wonderful changes occur in protein and oil, and many new molecules are produced. It is precisely because of these substances that the barbecue has a pleasant aroma.
The dagger kept cutting, and after the pieces of beast meat fell, they were neatly arranged on the stone slab, the "zizi" sound became louder, and the fragrance became more intense.
After the meat slices were covered with slates, Renault nodded at Angela who was on the side: "Cumin!"
The girl quickly took out a cloth bag, took out a handful of very finely ground white powder from it, and evenly sprinkled it on the surface of the meat slices. Under the high temperature baking, the powder gradually dried up and turned brown, releasing a special kind of powder. Scent.
This kind of "cumin" is an unknown shrub fruit that Renault discovered in the past few days. The smell is very similar to cumin, so he simply named it "cumin."
This new spice has quickly become the new favorite of everyone. After adding the slate barbecue, the taste level is unexpectedly enriched and the taste is greatly improved.
The Black Forest is very fertile and rich in resources. With special abilities, Renault's success rate in hunting is shockingly high, even Moos is far behind him.
So now every meal is indispensable for all kinds of game, coupled with Renault's various cooking techniques, in terms of "eating", it is comparable to the nobles.
After completely getting rid of the pursuit of the black orcs, the three people's small days have gone more and more comfortable, and Angela even felt that if this kind of life could last forever, it would be very good.
