Chapter 293: Biological Starch Promotes Anti-Magic Purification Factory
His Majesty the Great Emperor has returned to his loyal Eisenland.
In the palace, Richard looked at the more than 200 witches in front of him and nodded with satisfaction. These witches have completed their studies and can now work on their own. More than 200 witches will be of great help to what he is going to do next.
Next, Richard began to reward those who performed outstandingly in the battle. The new Offa Empire no longer divided the nobles into fiefdoms, and the nobles only had some rewarded manors and a portion of tax annuals.
Richard did not intend to send all of these witches to serve as officials in various places. He only wanted to send a part of them. The remaining witches would maintain the witch academy and help him build a wizard tower.
As soon as he occupied Eisenland, Richard selected a suitable place outside the city, gave Karina a construction blueprint, and asked Karina to be responsible for building the wizard tower.
A large number of slaves were sent here, and the wizard tower was built very quickly. With the help of more than a dozen witches, the main structure of the wizard tower was completed. However, the energy circuit, element pool, tower spirit, rune array, etc. inside were not built.
These things need to be presided over by Richard himself. Richard is going to build them with the witches and give them a live teaching. After all, no matter how perfect and detailed the things in the book are, they are not as good as doing it yourself.
Therefore, three days after Richard came back, he formally summoned all the witches and led them to start building the wizard tower.
"A wizard tower is very important to a wizard. It can multiply the strength of a wizard. Even a qualified low-level wizard tower under the control of a low-level wizard can resist a high-level wizard."
"In addition to increasing the normal strength of wizards, the wizard tower is also an important place for wizards to practice, live, and research."
"A successful wizard must have a wizard tower. You will also need to build your own wizard tower in the future."
Richard spoke and waved his hand gently. A phantom enveloped everyone, and then a magnificent wizard tower appeared in front of everyone. Then Richard introduced the structure, runes, energy circuits, etc. of the wizard tower.
After the explanation, Richard divided the construction of the wizard tower into various areas and let the witches practice, while he was responsible for guiding them and making sure to point out any mistakes.
Soon, two hundred witches were carving runes on the wizard tower. At the beginning, many witches made mistakes, but under Richard's guidance, they kept improving. After about a week, these witches could carve the runes completely and correctly.
The entire wizard tower required more than hundreds of thousands of runes to be engraved, and more than 200 witches took a month to complete the task.
In fact, more than half of the work is completed in the last week.
Next, Richard led the witches to complete the laying of the energy channel, sort out the earth vein energy, and build an earth vein energy pool. Seeing the endless earth vein energy entering the energy pool, the element concentration of the entire wizard tower increased rapidly, and all the witches' eyes sparkled.
"Earth vein energy cannot be used unlimitedly. Excessive use of earth vein energy will cause death of the surrounding land. So under normal circumstances, only 20% to 30% of the energy can be used."
"But this amount of energy can only supply a low-level wizard tower. In order to build a high-level wizard tower, we need to build an element pool."
Richard personally made an element pool, and then connected the four elemental planes. Light blue elemental water continuously flowed out from the energy channel in the middle of the element pool.
"Only when a wizard tower has an elemental pool can it be considered a real wizard tower."
Everyone was stunned as they sensed the rich concentration of elements around them. In the past, when they practiced, they needed to absorb elemental energy into their bodies and transform it into their own magic power, but the elemental energy here was completely forceful and penetrated into their bodies.
In this kind of environment, even if one does not know how to practice, simple breathing can absorb elemental energy into the body.
"Don't think that high element concentration is a good thing. Being in this kind of environment for a long time will cause you to become addicted to magic." Richard poured cold water on everyone.
"The concentration of elements in normal cultivation is much lower. I can only use it to break through when I need to."
After completing the elemental pool, Richard created a legendary tower spirit as the control center of the wizard tower. Richard did not intend to build a floating tower in this world.
Given the energy level of this world, there is no need for such high-end things. A phoenix can solve all threats and enemies.
The main function of the wizard tower is to further purify anti-magic metals and allow witches to practice here. By the way, there is also a biosynthetic furnace to produce starch biscuits.
Richard plans to pull out an energy channel from the floating tower to supply the ecological factory to operate and produce starch biscuits.
The raw materials are various potatoes, sweet potatoes, wood, leaves, various animals, and the corpses of monsters, etc. Even the corpses of various monsters produce the highest amount of starch biscuits.
Most of these monster corpses have demonic energy, and when they are transformed in the ecological furnace, the energy produced is also the highest. When these starch biscuits were delivered to the mine, these slaves who were used to eating black bread were so excited that they almost cried on the spot when they ate the sweet starch biscuits.
"The wizard masters are so kind that they give such delicious biscuits to these slaves!" said the soldier in charge of guarding.
"Yes, that's too merciful. They only deserve to eat black bread made from tree bark, grass roots, sawdust, and rye!" said another soldier.
"These cookies taste sweet and slightly salty. I swear, they are made from high-quality wheat flour, with salt and fat added to them!"
"Our rations now also include these cookies, thanks to the wizard masters."
"How can those slaves eat the same thing as us?"
"I heard that the higher-ups have already informed the wizards, and other types of starch biscuits will be delivered next month. I heard there are milk-flavored biscuits with milk and fruit-flavored biscuits with fruit. Oh, and there is also a drink that can be drunk by just adding boiling water. It is said that sugar is added to it."
"Is this true? The wizards are so great! Praise the great wizard masters!"
After the wizard tower was built, the ecological factory began to operate at full capacity. A large number of plants and animals were thrown in and transformed into starch biscuits, which were then put on the market for sale.
By the way, in order to increase the diversity of food, it will be made into a state similar to flour so that people can buy it and make bread by themselves. These foods are very cheap and can be exchanged for various foods such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, oats, rye, wheat, etc.
Since the introduction of this kind of food, more and more people have begun to replace their food with this starch biscuit which is easy to store.
For those poor people, starch biscuits are the best food. All you need to do is boil a pot of hot soup and then add the starch biscuits to make a pot of sweet paste.
In just one month, starch biscuits became popular throughout the Offa Empire and were spreading to other countries. This cheap, delicious, easy to transport and store food was popular among the common people. Even many nobles replaced flour with starch. After all, starch was whiter and tasted better (after all, magic spices were added), and it tasted very good when made into white bread.
Of course, Richard and the witches don't eat this kind of starch. Richard opened up a large ecological botanical garden in the wizard tower. There is a breeding farm in the botanical garden, raising various magical animals, and the botanical garden next to it is full of various magical plants.
Richard and the witches' food sources are all produced here, and then made into magical dishes, which not only taste great, but also improve physical fitness and magic power. By the way, various magic potions, including the raw materials for knight advancement potions, also come from here.
In this way, all the knights were basically controlled by Richard.
After Richard completed the wizard tower, he began to build an anti-magic metal purification factory. The technology used was to heat the anti-magic metal into liquid and then pass it through a special magic isolation layer.
This separation layer will separate other metals or substances from the anti-magic metal, thus obtaining anti-magic metal of sufficient purity. Of course, it would take many separation layers to separate all other metals and substances.
Each classification layer can separate a metal molecule or other substance, and each layer requires powerful magical energy support.
Richard prepared a thousand layers of magic separation layers. After a thousand times of separation, the original 90% concentration of anti-magic metal can be reduced to 99.99% purity.
The large element pool built by the wizard tower can easily supply the consumption of this anti-magic metal purification factory.
This type of separate anti-magic metal purification plant is also the only way in which this world can industrially produce high-purity anti-magic metal.
Richard used high-temperature separation method to purify high-purity anti-magic metal in the laboratory.
The production capacity of anti-magic metals mined from the mines is not high. Anti-magic metal ores are also rare minerals in this world. Although all countries have anti-magic minerals, the largest quantities are in the Kingdom of Nilfgaard in the south and Redania and Temeria in the north.
The anti-magic metal purification factory built by Richard has a large output. The anti-metal veins of the Offa Empire alone are not enough to provide enough raw materials. Therefore, it is necessary to control other veins in order to fully produce.
The anti-magic metal smelter can not only smelt anti-magic metal ore, but also smelt other metals, and the quality is far superior to the metals in other countries in this world.
Even the weapons forged by the dwarves in this world are not as good as those here.
Some of these metals were used to forge weapons, and others were made into farm tools to replace farmers' wooden tools. The popularity of metal tools could further increase food production, which in turn attracted more people to mine.
The surrounding countries were very surprised to see that the Offa Empire was selling large quantities of starch biscuits. At that time, grain was hard currency and a strategic resource, so they began to purchase it with the power of the state.
These countries did not know that the grain production of the Offa Empire had increased tenfold, and many people still fantasized about buying out all the starch biscuits of the Offa Empire.
During this period of time, Richard began to eliminate various monsters in the Arcanist Empire, such as water ghosts, alien monsters, human-faced birds, water ghost grandmothers, ghouls, rock trolls, spirits, andraeg insects, crab spiders and other monsters.
These monsters were entrenched in various parts of the kingdom, and Richard directly asked the witch to lead the blood knights to clear them out. If there were usable materials on these monsters, they would be thrown into the ecological park for breeding. If they were useless, they would be directly thrown into the ecological transformation factory for recycling.
Most monsters are a disaster for ordinary people, but facing a witch and a team of bloodline knights, they basically can't even fight back.
It is not too easy to deal with these monsters with the power of the country. Only when we encounter some valuable monsters will we be willing to deal with them.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Come in." Avril put down the magic book in her hand.
"Sister Avril." A petite and pretty witch came in and greeted happily.
"Why is Nicole so happy?"
"Sister, the scouts just sent us news that a group of griffins were discovered in the Kanas Mountains." Nicole said excitedly.
"The witch in charge said that she wanted to capture these griffins and tame them as mounts."
"Okay, they can't deal with those griffins?" Avril asked?
Nicole nodded and said, "Griffins are fierce and violent monsters. They would rather die than be caught. And they are not sure they can capture all the griffins alive."
"Okay, I'll go catch them." Avril said, "You can ask His Majesty to try to tame the griffins."
"I knew that Sister Avril is the best!" Nicole hugged Avril and rubbed against her like a puppy.
"Okay, you don't have to please me. I'm only responsible for helping you catch the griffins, and then tame them for you to ask His Majesty for help." Avril stretched out her jade finger and tapped Nicole's nose.
Soon the two led people to the Kanas Mountains. Griffins usually build nests on the edge of cliffs to avoid attacks on their young by other animals. This monster is strong and can easily carry a human. There are also cases of successful domestication of griffins in history.
But the success rate is very low. This time the witches want to tame the griffin to use it as a means of transportation. After all, teleportation spells are not so easy to learn. If there is a griffin to travel, it will be much more convenient.
Soon the group arrived at their destination, and when they saw a dozen creatures with lion bodies, eagle wings and heads on the cliff, Avril immediately used magic to fly up.
When a group of griffins saw Avril, they immediately launched an attack. As a result, more than a dozen rays of light flew out in an instant and directly hit the griffins.
——【Weak light! 】
The originally aggressive griffin immediately became weak and powerless, and its body became shaky.
——【Dragon’s might is intimidating! 】
With the blood of a giant dragon and the help of magic to amplify the dragon's might several times, it burst out in an instant. The griffins were frightened and fell down one after another, and were instantly caught by the blood knights who had been waiting for a long time.
