Chapter 700: Disasters are actually wealth
The two monsters raged crazily within the Rune Institute for 1 minute, causing heavy casualties.
A total of 6 rune magicians and 13 apprentices died. There were 5 severely disabled magicians and apprentices, and no minor injuries.
In general, it is equivalent to a project team, which is abolished.
To say a word of no conscience, even if 100 army soldiers died, Renault would not be so deplored.
The reason is simple. The value that a magician can create is far greater than that of a soldier. The former can create a lot of wealth with his own knowledge, while the latter can only destroy wealth.
On the other hand, training a magician not only requires talent, but also consumes a lot of time and resources.
Take the growth experience of an ordinary magician as an example.
First, you need to complete basic general education, and then start learning rune literature, rune inscriptions, and mechanical knowledge. It takes at least one year to pass the assessment and become an "apprentice."
Apprentices can already participate in formal R&D projects, give the magician a hand, learn while working, and gradually accumulate practical experience.
At this point, if you want to go further, you have higher requirements for talent and diligence.
Under normal circumstances, if an apprentice participates in at least 3 R&D projects and keeps continuous learning, there is a 50% chance of being promoted to a respected rune magician within 2 years.
If the talent is not good, or the hard work is not enough, 3 or 5 years may not be able to become positive.
In other words, it takes at least 3 years to train a rune magician, or even longer.
And to train an army soldier, after only three months of intensive training, he can directly get on the battlefield.
The difference between the two is almost 10 times.
The above is only time cost.
If you count the materials and teaching resources consumed during the period, they will be priced in kinnals, and it will not be less than 500 kinnals.
The 24 conjurers and apprentices who were killed and wounded together make up nearly 10,000 Kinnars.
In addition, the value they can create, even by the most conservative estimate, exceeds 1 million Kinnars. This part of the potential expected gains should also be included in the loss.
How could Renault not be saddened by such a serious loss?
Not to mention, there were several familiar faces among the dead.
They had bowed respectfully to Renault before and greeted Renault, but they did not expect to be lying motionless on the ground now...
...
Renault stood in the corridor like an abattoir with a cold face, watching the corpses being pieced together, put into a body bag, and then carried out one by one, and sighed silently.
He turned his head and looked at Angela, Moose and others who had rushed over, and Seth standing on his side, and said:
"Remove the'Security Minister' Molière from the Rune Research Institute and ask him to report to the Army...Well, send this guy to the Thousand Lakes Republic...and then clean up the entire security system again, and all the unqualified people are removed and replaced. ."
For such a huge change in the core territory, someone must take responsibility for it.
As for the hapless Mr. Molière, he is more like a poor worm who has been implicated.
After all, the methods of the Void Demon Race were weird, far beyond human imagination, even Renault hadn't expected it.
But who made Molière sit in the position of Security Minister?
He is not a scapegoat, who should be a scapegoat?
A mature bureaucracy will inevitably operate in this way.
Reynolds thought about it and issued a series of commands:
"You should study it carefully and establish a more complete and tighter protection system for me, including not only the major research institutes, but also the tidal islands... Don’t be afraid to spend money, how to come safely... Our enemy is The Void Demon Race, which is more powerful than the Black Orcs, cannot be overstated..."
Angela and Muston nodded together.
"The research and development system will also undergo a'major operation'. All research projects related to the Void Demon, as well as research projects that may be dangerous, must be relocated outside of Odin and Theron Island."
"My idea is to divide the project into different levels according to the degree of danger, such as w1, w2, and up to the highest level w5...reconstruct several suitable islands and place research projects of the same level in the same level. On an island, this is also convenient for confidentiality."
"In addition, as long as it is a w5 level ultra-high-risk project, an island must be arranged separately, in case of an accident, the loss can be minimized...If possible, it is better to build an underground laboratory..."
Angela and the others nodded again.
Renault threw out a few words lightly, and several major projects were thus decided.
In the next long period of time, a large amount of materials and resources will be invested in these projects, and tens of thousands of people will work hard and sweat for them.
All this is only for the implementation of the Lord's will.
...
In the eyes of ordinary people, this emergency incident was just a simple disaster.
But in the eyes of some professionals, such as Renault, it is actually a kind of wealth.
From this, he saw a lot of extremely valuable information.
In an anatomy laboratory that has just been set up, Renault is talking.
"...The incident of'Demonization of the Human Body' that occurred in Shijiazhai confirms my previous judgment..."
Dozens of researchers stood in the laboratory, listening carefully to Renault's speech. From time to time, someone turned his head and glanced at the "alienated demon" that was firmly fixed on the metal frame.
"Alienation Demon" is a fresh name, it is the demonized monster that was "torn" to severely disabled by Renault alive.
"Regarding the methods used when'coordinates' escape, it reminds me of the creatures on Hell Island, the'Molten Demon', which uses the [Flashing] skill... The two are very similar, except that the former jumps in a high-dimensional space and hides. Sexier..."
"According to this, we can draw many conclusions... First of all, the molten demon must come from the world where the Void Demon Race is located. This is undoubtedly confirmed... Secondly, the strong in the Void Demon Race is very likely to master [Flashing] skill……"
The second conclusion made many people uneasy.
[Flashing] Everyone knows exactly what skill it is.
And what it means for a race that masters [Flashing], just thinking about it in your head will chill your back.
Imagine that hundreds of powerful demons collectively launched [Flashing] to implement the "Assault Decapitation" tactic. Can the Hai Chao Led's army be able to handle it?
Can't!
This is nothing short of a bug.
Reynolds looked around, glancing at the expressions of his subordinates, and said lightly:
"Don’t worry too much, Void Demon’s [Flashing] is not without weakness...According to my experience in the sea of mist, the distance of Molten Demon’s [Flashing] is no more than 20 meters... The escape distance of the'coordinates' is also Just over 80 meters."
"According to this, I personally infer that the maximum movement distance of the Void Demon [Flashing] will never be too far... If I guess right, as the distance increases, the consumption of energy by [Flashing] will definitely show up. Increase exponentially."
"On this point, it is decided that [flicker] has an upper limit of distance. It is absolutely impossible to cross several kilometers, tens of kilometers, or even hundreds of kilometers in an instant."
"I personally think that the upper limit of the [Blink] distance of the Supernatural Demon Race powerhouse is only 100 meters at most, and the Upanishad Level will not be higher than 300 meters..."
These reasonable and well-founded remarks have made many people's expressions a lot lighter.
The most frightening thing is often ignorant things, but as long as you have a certain understanding, you can prescribe the right medicine and find a way to deal with it.
Renault smiled slightly, and said in a more accentuated tone:
"In fact, it is not that our Haichao leader has no means of restraining [flickering]. Do you still remember the'Tower of Splitting Sky'?"
The so-called "Tower of Splits" is exactly the rune obelisk that Renault created the "Sapphire Fall" (see Chapter 644). It can amplify the space storm released by [Reaper's Lyre] and cause extremely terrifying large-scale damage.
Seth was taken aback and asked:
"Lord Lord, you mean that the Tower of Rupture can be used to restrain the [flicker] of the Void Demon Race? But if you use it, wouldn't you even kill yourself?"
