Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 754: Mountain of gold
This obelisk, or "high-energy magic coordinate object" obtained from Baron Bugatti, is significantly smaller than the "low-energy magic coordinate object" excavated from Tututat City.
The small obelisk is only 1.2 meters high, while the large obelisk is 1.5 meters high.
Renault observed carefully and found that the patterns of the two are slightly different.
The pattern of the big obelisk is denser, looks simpler, and feels sharper.
Based on his knowledge of Fu Literature and his understanding of the Void Demon Race, he immediately judged that the two obelisks represented two different "transboundary energy transmission channels."
In addition, there is another point that worries Renault deeply.
That is the connection between the "coordinates" obelisk and the numerous giant obelisks on the planet where the Void Demon Race lives.
Their appearance is so similar that there is no connection between them to have ghosts!
The most logical guess is that the giant obelisk remotely controls the "coordinates". The former collects or creates demonized energy and transmits it to another world through a cross-border channel, slowly corrupting the other world.
So the question is, how many "coordinates" can a giant obelisk control?
100 or 1,000? Or 10,000?
If the above speculation is true, then the planet of the Void Demon Race has countless giant obelisks. How many "coordinates" do they control together?
100 million or 1 billion? Even the appalling 100 billion?
Such a huge amount of "coordinates", concentrated in a certain other world alone, is obviously a great waste.
Therefore, there is only one possibility-the Void Demon Race is invading multiple other worlds at the same time!
This amazing fact made Renault take a breath.
God, how powerful is the enemy that this master faces?
...
Gaspar Plateau, White Antelope Kingdom.
The Gaspar Plateau, with an average altitude of more than 2500 meters, is known as the "Roof of the South" in the Glow Continent, and is called the "Northern Plateau", the hometown of the Black Orcs, and is also known as the continent's poles.
The White Antelope Kingdom, which sits on this "roof", is called "the country of the plateau" or "the country of the ridge" by many people.
Because there are too many mountains in this kingdom.
To its east, which is the border next to the Thousand Lakes Republic, is blocked by the "Inca Mountains" that stretches for thousands of miles. On the northern border is a "Yinyue Mountain Range", and on the other side is the Fox Kingdom.
Within the Bailing Kingdom, there are not a few large and small mountains, hills, deserts and Gobi, turning this plateau into a land with a harsh environment.
However, the Creator did not turn the Gaspar Plateau into a Jedi. At the junction of the two mountains, He deliberately set aside a huge entrance-Thunder Mountain Pass.
The caravans passing through the Leiyu Mountain Pass transported various materials and commodities to the plateau, and transported the special products of the Bailing Kingdom to various places on the mainland.
However, only one channel, no matter how large it is, is not conducive to foreign exchanges, and even less conducive to commercial trade.
Of course, of the original six kingdoms on the Glory Continent, the Bailing Kingdom is the most isolated and poorest kingdom.
Even if they have mines at home, and there are still many mines, but the transportation is inconvenient, most of the minerals cannot be shipped out, and they can only beg for food in the cornucopia.
"Whirring whirring……"
Twelve "Yinyuan-2" fighters, guarding four "Silver Goose-2" transport aircraft, passed by the top of an eye-catching golden yellow mountain, leaving more than ten neatly-tracked clouds. It looks pretty.
Compared with the original silver kite, the shape of the new silver kite has been redesigned, and the fuselage has been lengthened by nearly 50%. With more advanced airborne magic equipment, the empty weight of the "Silver kite-2" has been increased. That's a full 35%, which is 7 tons.
Its other key data, the maximum load, has also changed drastically.
The first-generation silver kite had a carrying capacity of only 1.5 tons, while the "Yin kite-2" was as much as 5 tons, enough to carry 7 large incendiary bomb "duck eggs" weighing 650 kg.
Nevertheless, due to the installation of two "Typhoon-3" jet engines with a thrust of 3,500 kg, the maximum speed of the "Yinyuan-2" surged by 120%, reaching an astonishing 1,450 km/h.
That is 1.2 times the speed of sound!
That's right, this is the first supersonic fighter in the history of another world!
And it's also a legendary supersonic biplane. This is something that has never appeared on earth, but a bunch of rune magicians in the other world unexpectedly made it out.
"Hey, guys, have you seen the mountain below? This is the famous'Golden Mountain'... It is a mountain made entirely of gold. Anyone who digs a stone here can make a fortune... …"
Franco glanced at the towering mountain and said with a smile on the communication channel.
Two years ago, this guy was the co-pilot of Grum, the commander of the Air Knights Corps, and he worked full-time for the lord, such as manipulating a heavy machine gun and throwing a fire bomb.
Now that Grumm has been promoted to the highest commander of the Air Force, Franco has officially turned into a fuller and became the coveted pilot.
"Franco, is this true?"
"Oh, it looks gleaming, exactly the same as Kinnal's light..."
"My God, this mountain is at least 7000 meters high. How much gold should there be here? I guess there are at least a few hundred million tons..."
A group of pilots stared at the "Golden Mountain" obsessively, and some even slobbered.
"Hey, a bunch of idiots!"
A cold voice ruthlessly shattered the dreams of the wealthy fans.
"Use your dull minds to think about it. If this mountain is really all gold, will the Bailing Kingdom be secretly called "the country of poor ghosts"? If there are hundreds of millions of tons of gold, gold will still Is it so valuable?"
Another smiling voice echoed:
"Galileo is right. If it's all gold, I'm afraid this mountain has long been known to the entire human world. No one knows, no one knows. How could you have only heard of it today?"
After a pause, the voice continued:
"Actually, there is no gold at all here. The'Fool's Gold' pyrite is full of mountains...The color and color of the pyrite looks very similar to gold, so it is called the'Mountain of Gold'."
"The civilians living near the mountain of gold often use fool's gold to deceive outsiders. Every year, many idiots are deceived, and some unlucky ones are even defrauded of the last copper nar."
"Businessmen with a little bit of knowledge know that people who come from the mountain of gold have a high probability of being a liar... Therefore, the territory near the mountain of gold is also known as the'land of scams.' Many people think it is the land of scams. I can’t believe everything that people say..."
The pilots, who had been smashed so hard, suddenly cursed in anger.
"Damn Franco, you big liar..."
"I said Franco, wouldn't you be from the land of scams..."
Franco, who was pointed at by Qian Fu, burst into laughter.
However, there are also pilots who are concerned about other aspects.
"Why don't they use pyrite to make iron and steel? This is obviously a huge pyrite, with huge reserves, or an extremely rare open-pit mine with lower mining costs and very suitable for the development of the iron and steel smelting industry..."
"Who knows? Maybe the locals think it's faster to trick people into getting money, and it's too hard to mine and make steel..."
"I heard that the Haichao Chamber of Commerce is interested in mining pyrite in the mountain of gold. This mine is only more than 200 kilometers away from the Inca Mountains on the border. As long as a road through the Inca Mountains is built, the ore can be transported to the Republic... "
"Oh, the Inca Mountains are at least 150 kilometers wide. This is definitely a huge project... Tsk, the Haichao Chamber of Commerce really has an idea and is really willing to spend money..."
"I think this is a cost-effective business. If this road is really built, it will not only be used to transport pyrite, but also other commodities... Entering the Bailing Kingdom from here is better than detouring through the Leiyu Mountain Pass. At least nearly half of the distance..."
Amidst the laughter, the air force formation that set off from the Northern Military Region to rescue the demonized and infected area of the White Antelope Kingdom gradually disappeared.
