Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 266
The devil has two known abilities.
The first is shadow making, or shadow casting.
The devil can use shadow to create a large shadow to completely cover his body.
Shadow is only suitable for use at night. With the cover of the night, it''s hard for anyone to find the devil. If you use it during the day, the shadow will be exposed.
That''s why the devil always acts at night.
This made Renault immediately think of "scouts".
There is no doubt that the devil with shadow is a natural vanguard.
This made him wonder whether the devil came to this world for the purpose of understanding the situation of human beings and preparing for future invasion?
Where does it come from?
How did it come to this world?
The second ability of the devil is very strange and extremely evil.
According to little Eriksson, when the devil first appeared, he was so weak that even he could easily kill the devil.
However, with more and more civilians being slaughtered by the devil, its strength has become more and more powerful. Later, even the awakened can be easily killed.
The answer is obvious: the devil can gain strength from killing, or recover strength.
Considering that the devil likes to suck human brains and eat heart and liver, does this mean that this is the secret for the devil to recover his strength?
Very likely!
Renault''s book of thermodynamics has similar characteristics. According to his experience, the vast majority of "souls" are actually concentrated in the head.
Therefore, Renault is sure that the devil''s brain sucking behavior is by no means accidental. It can absorb the magic energy and restore its strength through this method. The devil''s hunting behavior is to "supplement the devil".
Compared with the book of thermodynamics, the devil''s ability of "mending the devil" is similar, but in essence it is lower than countless chips, because it can only "restore" the lost magic power, and can not increase the upper limit of magic power.
It''s a matter of course.
If the devil can also increase the upper limit of magic power by killing like Renault, then the world will be ruled by the devil long ago. What''s the matter with human beings?
Rao is so, Renault also had great vigilance to the devil.
Because all kinds of signs show that the devil is definitely a tough race, and also a more dangerous race than the black orcs.
In the next two days, the subsequent effects of count Eriksson''s death began to ferment.
Under the pressure of the nobles, the Knights and the Department of public security searched the city day and night for traces of the devil. Every household was carefully searched by the security team. The city of starfish became extremely cold. All the major chambers of Commerce closed down to thank guests, and there were almost no pedestrians on the road.
However, all this has no effect on Haichao chamber of commerce at all.
No one dare to search the manor rented by Haichao chamber of Commerce, because the death of Schroeder makes moss the only extraordinary person in starfish city.
Now, on starfish Island, the nobles are in danger. These greedy and fearless guys still expect moss to resist the devil at the critical moment. How can they offend the tide chamber of commerce with extraordinary people at this time?
Yekes, the Earl''s eldest son, even visited Muse in person. He also tried to invite muse to join the Knights'' order and serve as the head of the Knights'' order with an annual salary of 1000 jinnals.
However, Muse refused yekes on the ground of "having pledged allegiance", which made yekes extremely disappointed.
Renault didn''t pay attention to the outside disturbance, and stayed in an abandoned building on the outskirts of starfish city.
According to little Eriksson, this is the devil''s hiding place.
Unfortunately, the devil never appeared.
Maybe Renault''s "pretending to be the devil and killing the count" alerted him. Maybe the disappearance of little Eriksson alerted him. For two days, Renault didn''t feel the devil''s breath.
Late the next night, Renault was a little impatient. He took advantage of the night to go to the Baron Winston to search the forest near the castle, but he still didn''t find it.
Obviously, the devil is more alert than anyone can imagine.
In the early morning of the third day, the port was busy.
Two magic slings were set up on the dock, bags of wheat and bundles of linen were hoisted onto the Odin and the tides, and the sailors wheeled their carts around the deck.
There were also hundreds of slaves waiting quietly on the dock. Once the goods were loaded, it was their turn to board.
Not only did these slaves not feel uneasy or uneasy, but they all looked forward to it.
Because they have signed a formal agreement with Haichao chamber of Commerce, both men and women, old and young, as long as they work for the chamber for free for two years, they will be free again.
Even children are no exception, but their length of service starts after they reach the age of 15.In addition, there is an additional clause in the children''s agreement: before reaching the age of 15, the administrative department has custody.
At the time of signing the agreement, no "little slaves" objected, because the "custody" clause was very beneficial to them.
It is specially stated in the clause that no beating, scolding or maltreatment is allowed. We must guarantee food, clothing and warmth, basic right to live, certain personal freedom and the most important right to education.
Yes, these children will receive unified education from the administrative department. There will be special personnel to teach them general literacy and arithmetic. Especially gifted children will receive further education.
As the scale of industrialization of haichaoling becomes larger and larger, it is increasingly eager for talents. Compared with the hard-working workers, the administrative department needs more literate workers.
In this respect, children are far more malleable than adults, so Renault decided to provide them with free education, at least let them learn to read and write in common language.
The employees can''t wait to explain the meaning of each clause in the "small agreement", so they can''t wait to sign it.
Although they did not understand what the "administrative department" was, they had a deep liking for it all of a sudden.
They teach you how to read and write. The "government office" is not a slave owner. It''s clearly their own parents!
As a rule, the sea tide chamber of Commerce has attracted many people to watch, and the wharf is full of people.
One corner attracted Renault''s attention, because there were several painters standing in front of them, with wooden easels and drawing boards. While drawing on the drawing boards, the painters discussed with people around them from time to time.
Renault looked around at Elon and asked curiously:
"are those painters painting our sailboats?"
Elon replied with a smile:
"yes, sir, these people have been at the dock for three days..."
"I think they are mapping the ''trimaran'' structure of Odin and Haichao. They probably think that the ''trimaran'' is the ultimate mystery of Haichao''s conquering storm season."
"You must have noticed that every painter has an assistant beside him. I guess most of these assistants are shipbuilders. Through the cooperation of the painter and the craftsman, we can draw the structure of the trimaran more accurately."
"This should be the arrangement of a shipbuilding workshop to imitate our trimaran..."
Renault couldn''t help laughing.
these woodlouse are so naive.
Only 10% of trimaran''s contribution to the tide chamber''s sailing in the storm season is due to the thermal magic engine hidden in the power cabin.
If there is no extra power, the sailboat can only sail in the half sail state, and the speed will be extremely slow. To go out to sea at such a speed is to die.
In the storm season, a terrible storm may happen on the ocean at any time. If the speed is not enough, once there is a storm, the sailboat will not be able to get to the safe shelter in time, and the result will be the destruction of the ship and the death of people.
and the manufacture of trimaran is not as easy as woodlouse can imagine.
Can a trimaran be built by copying the structure?
That''s what a fool thinks!
The core of building trimaran is material!
There must be enough excellent steel performance to ensure that the wing has ultra-high strength, so as to resist the turbulence everywhere.
, with woodlouse''s moving "probabilistic steelmaking method", we need to smelt enough excellent steel products in 100 years.
Renault has foreseen that the copycat trimaran will become a super sized "Cup". The first woodlouse to drive a copycat trimaran will die very ugly.
Two hours later, with Elon''s order, Odin and Haichao slowly left the berth.
It''s time to go home.
