Chapter 54
"Let's go and ask Your Excellency Ferlig?" Will said hesitantly. They were not familiar with Ferlig. They had been together for a while, but basically they couldn't see Ferlig. He always meditated in his room.
Kai thought for a while and said, "Forget it. If you want to tell us, you don't need to ask at all. If you don't want to tell us, don't talk too much. Anyway, we already know that these armors are definitely good things. I suspect they are magical equipment."
"Is magic equipment? But I have never heard of any armor that can be automatically restored." Will said. They were from the Imperial Security Army and had some knowledge. They had also been in the magic equipment store several times.
"Who knows, our adults are magicians, and we won't understand what he has made. With these equipment, our combat effectiveness has improved so much. I really want to fight another battle with the Mayan army." Kai said.
"Come on, look at the battle we fought yesterday. As commanders, we should feel blushing. From today on, we should train well, at least not worse than the regular army. Otherwise, I'm sorry for these armors, do you think so?"
Kai nodded in agreement. Thinking of yesterday's battle, he really felt his face red and hot, which was really embarrassing to the Imperial soldiers. They were originally a little despised by Ferig, a person from the small principality. If Ferig was not a magician, they would definitely not be the private army of the Landis family.
Looking at the Imperial Military Minister Porge Li, who was walking quickly from outside the hall, Emperor Wu Tian put down his copy and moved his limbs. Emperor Wu Tian was a very diligent emperor. Since he ascended the throne, he devoted himself to the construction of the empire.
But the empire is too big. Even if good government orders are issued, it will take too long to implement them. Moreover, sometimes, the executor misinterprets the government orders and it takes more time to correct them.
Emperor Wu Tian has been in power for twenty-two years. In these twenty-two years, the empire's economy has developed greatly, and the national tax revenue is fifteen times that of twenty years ago, which is a very remarkable achievement.
Although he was eager to make achievements, he knew very well that the empire was too large and had a large population. It was already very difficult to manage the current land and population alone, otherwise his ancestors would not have enfeoffed so many kingdoms.
But he was really unwilling to be a Emperor of Peace, and always hoped that he would do something. This war with the Mayan Empire was really up to his will. He did not think that he could swallow the Mayan Empire. Those lands had no meaning. If he wanted, there was too much land waiting for him to occupy, and it would be obtained without war.
As for the population of the Mayan Empire, it is not worth fighting for. The population of 600 million is too large, not to mention the people of other kingdoms and principalities. Elemental mines are so good that there are such mineral veins, which have a large amount of elemental ore. I wonder what the country will become?
He dared not say anything else, at least he could increase the number of magicians. Those apprentices with slightly less talented have enough elemental crystals to have a chance to become magicians, even if they are just low- and intermediate magicians.
"Is Porge the latest battle report on the front line?"
"That's right, a very strange battle report." Polger replied.
"Oh? Who else came with you?" Emperor Wu Tian saw just now that there was another figure in front of the gate of Qinzheng Hall. He was sure that he was not a guard.
"Go back to your Majesty, it's Clark who comes with me."
"Clark? That very famous alchemist?" Wu Tian asked curiously. This alchemist is very famous in the empire, but such a person is not qualified to enter the imperial palace.
"It's him."
"It seems that this battle report is related to the alchemist, which makes me very curious." Emperor Wu Tian said with a smile. It would be nice if he could hear some interesting things in addition to his busy work, and it would be considered a kind of adjustment.
"This battle report comes from Bear City, one of the logistics supply bases of the Left-wing Army on the front line. It was reported by Viscount Vero Tahan, the commander of Bear City, the third-class major general of the Empire."
Emperor Wu Tian frowned. A small third-class major general, a viscount of the Empire? And he is from the logistics base. In his capacity, he should first report to the commander-in-chief of the logistics base, then the commander-in-chief of the left wing group, and then the commander-in-chief of the front line, and finally to the Military Affairs Office. This is a level 5 or 6. Reporting beyond the level is a taboo in the army.
"The first half of the battle report is a small-scale battle. The elite knights sent by the Mayan Empire attempted to entice and annihilate the defenders of Little Bear City and the Duchy of Terran's army, with two hundred and one thousand, annihilate one hundred and six enemies, and captured twenty-six people. The Deran's army lost nine people, and the others were slightly injured."
A very inconspicuous victory was a million troops on the entire front line. After a big battle, it was normal to kill more than 100,000 enemies, but the casualties of a few hundred people were afraid that even the staff of the Military Affairs Office would not report it to the press.
The Duchy of Delan is a very small principality. Emperor Wu Tian was very diligent and knew that this small principality had a population of two or three million, rich in grain and several fine iron ores. Apart from this, there seemed to be nothing worth paying attention to.
"After investigation by Major General Vero and his deputy Baron Lauren, the two hundred of the Delan army were new troops, and they had never been on the battlefield and were trained ordinary, which was only equivalent to the level of the Imperial Security Army. The key is that the armor of these people is very special. Major General Vero believes that he has enough reason to infer that the armor equipped by this team is several times better than any armor of the current Imperial Army, and even better than the armor made entirely by the Imperial Horse."
"Haha... Did Vero drink too much, better than the armor made by the Iron Mother? In the entire empire, except for the one thousand people equipped with the Iron Mother's armor, no other established team has such equipment. Even a first-class general, if he had not made outstanding contributions to the empire, he would not have given the Iron Mother's armor." Emperor Wu Tian said disdainfully. He believed that Major General Vero had never seen the Iron Mother's armor at all, and it was even more impossible to know how strong this armor was.
"A small piece of armor was sent with this report, which was stolen from the armor mentioned by Major General Vero." Polger said with his face unchanged.
"Oh, I understand. This is why you brought Clark alchemist here. Tell me what metal it is." Emperor Wu Tian was a little surprised. He thought it was a joke that Polger told him, but now it doesn't look very similar.
"After several alchemists, it was finally identified by Clark. It was a small piece of memory metal."
"Memory metal? Are you talking about that kind of garbage metal?" Emperor Wu Tian naturally knew what memory metal was, but he didn't know much. He only knew that this metal was called garbage metal and no one liked to use it.
This metal is much more numerous than pure gold and dense silver, but it cannot be refined and processed. Although it has good magical conductivity, even magicians don’t like to use it, which shows that it is indeed garbage. There is no such metal mineral on the empire’s strategic supplies list.
"Yes, it's it."
"Let Clark come in." Wu Tian thought in his heart and let the alchemist come in. He has not yet understood the meaning of the Minister of Military Affairs. He believes that Polge will not report useless things, unless he simply makes himself happy and relaxed.
"Clark, tell me everything about Memory Metal, I need to know." Looking at Clark kneeling on the ground, Emperor Wu Tian asked the guard to give him a chair. The alchemist was too old, at least eighty years old. The alchemist was similar to the magician, and the older he was, the more powerful he was.
The alchemist is naturally not as good as the magician, but Emperor Wu Tian will still give corresponding respect to these people with expertise and expertise.
"When I go back to your Majesty, memory metal is an unusual special metal. Like refined iron ore, it exists in ores. Depending on the content of the ore, the number of memory metals that can be extracted is also different. Memory metals have very good magic conductivity, so some small magic equipment will use memory metal because it is cheaper than refined gold and dense silver and is easier to find."
"The most special thing about memory metal is that it has a strong memory ability. It will be fixed when it is first refined. From then on, no matter how it changes its appearance, it will slowly return to its original state. Refining memory metal is different from other minerals. Memory metal is not afraid of high temperatures. Only magicians can refine it with magic. Therefore, the memory metal obtained by us alchemists are all those that are refined and sold to us when the magician is tight, and of course it is refined and formed according to our requirements."
"Is this the only one?" asked Emperor Wu Tian. From these characteristics Clark mentioned, he had already confirmed that this was indeed a kind of garbage metal. No matter how good the magic conductivity was, how could the magician have the time to refine this thing every day?
"Memory metal ore is generally not too large, so you can only extract a small part of the metal and only make small objects. It is impossible for a magician to use it to build a staff. It requires rich ore and a large piece. Extra large pieces of memory metal ore are still very valuable. Since there is not enough ore, memory metal is also called garbage metal."
"Tell me, what effect will be if I use memory metal to make armor?" Emperor Wu Tian said in a deep voice.
Clark looked at Emperor Wu Tian in surprise, then turned to look at Polk, not understanding why they all raised such strange questions, which was simply impossible.
