Struggle in the Steam Age

Chapter 79: Goblin Raid

   This kind of experiment takes enough time, even if the world has extraordinary powers. So in the next week, Lawrence used this time to test a series of soil pesticides on the farm while reading the books carried in the space bag.

   What made him feel fortunate was that after his soul merged and became a white warlock, the strengthened soul made him remember everything in the two lives. It includes a large number of various materials prepared for writing novels, and even some pictures that were only seen on the computer screen for less than a second are accurately recalled.

  There are a lot of materials prepared for writing historical novels in so many materials. Although most of them are not very useful in this industrial age, the differences between different worlds make some of the materials prominent at once.

In view of the fact that the chemical industry in the world is at a low level, and the use of extraordinary powers to circumvent the limits of the industrial level will cost too much and it will not be popular, so all of Lawrence's experiments during this period are all the local pesticides from a book in the 70s . Fortunately, they have all worked well in recent experiments.

   These pesticides are naturally not as effective as the formal pesticides that are industrially produced, but they are much better than the current pesticides on the market. At the same time, they are just in line with the world's industrial level and can be cheaply produced on a large scale. In addition to Bordeaux mixture, there are lime sulfur mixture, pinine mixture, white paint used to brush tree trunks in winter, and shellac made from tung oil, rosin, and yellow wax.

"It feels like the agricultural churches in this world have completely skewed the pesticide technology tree." Lawrence returned to the city after the driver who entrusted the church to Seifer and a letter to Priest Carter back to the city. When I arrived in the laboratory, I started to check a series of pesticides bought from the Agricultural Church yesterday and thought: "Maybe because the Goddess of Agriculture is the daughter of the Mother Earth God and the Father of Nature, all the pesticides used by the church are plant-based drugs. "

"There are a lot of plant-based medicines, but many of them are not very effective." Thinking of this, Lawrence remembered some stories about the agricultural church that the staff of the Church of Knowledge told him yesterday. "In the face of this situation, the agricultural church The solution is to use extraordinary power."

   "For example, this bottle is similar to pyrethroids on the earth." Lawrence took out a red bottle from the pile of medicines on the table, tried it briefly, and then looked at the label on the bottle. "This kind of thing on earth is synthesized through the chemical industry, and here it is the priests and druids of the church who repeatedly modified the plants to produce this substance, and then use magical means to purify it."

"I have to admit that the effect of this medicine is really good, and it does little harm to humans and animals. But just the 500ml medicine in hand costs 10 yuan, which is equivalent to a month's salary of an ordinary worker. So these medicines are only It can be used for the cultivation of some magic plants and the gardens of nobles."

   As for ordinary farmers and farm workers in the nearby farms, only some plant ash or quicklime can be used, or the plants with serious diseases can be dug out and burned. That's it, but it is obvious that these have little effect on the current grape diseases.

   Fortunately, after this week of trials, the efficacy of Bordeaux liquid has been demonstrated. Although the grape downy mildew in this world is somewhat different from that on earth, it spreads and infects faster than its counterparts on earth. However, the corresponding molds are more vulnerable to Bordeaux mixture than those on the earth. At least in this week’s trial in the vineyard, these agents not only inhibited the continued spread of downy mildew, but even caused downy mildew before. The rattan was restored to health.

   "The next step is to spread the summed up knowledge." Lawrence thought after calling Shumei and starting to record the experimental data and supplement the paper. "I hope Priest Carter can reply quickly and say what to do next."

   "Huh? What happened?" After adding today's data at the back of the paper, Lawrence took out the alchemy book borrowed from the space bag and prepared to read it for a while, but there was a loud noise outside the window. Originally, he thought that the noise would disappear quickly, but he didn't expect that after a few minutes, the noise would not disappear, but would become louder.

   After opening the window and looking down, Lawrence found that there were seven or eight people on the empty field in front of the small building. And among them was a wounded man lying on a stretcher covered in blood.

"Let let let let let." Lawrence carried his medical box and separated. The group of people gathered together half-kneeled on the side of the stretcher to treat the wounds of the wounded. "I graduated from medical school and I am better at this kind of work. ."

   "Is there a goblin nearby?" After cutting the clothes on the wound with small scissors, Lawrence recognized what the wound was all about. After all, the small town where he lived for more than ten years was full of goblins every year. Lawrence, who had helped his adoptive father deal with the wounded since he was seven, could easily distinguish how the wound on this man was made.

   "Goblin?" As soon as Lawrence's voice fell, a gray-bearded uncle next to him made a surprised voice. "It's impossible. The last time this local goblin quarrel was almost 20 years ago. Young man, would you be wrong?"

   Other people also showed incredulous expressions, because this place is considered a suburb of the city. Under normal circumstances, the armed forces in the city and various defensive magic arrays have a powerful deterrent effect on these creatures. Therefore, those disgusting transcendent creatures would theoretically not be near the city.

"I can't read it wrong. After all, my hometown is in a small town along the mainland railway. That place is a place where goblins are raised every year. Since the age of seven, I have helped my father deal with the wounded when he was troubled with goblins. Over the years, I have dealt with at least 100 people who were injured in battles with goblins, so I should not admit mistakes in wound judgment."

Seeing that the people around did not believe what he said, Lawrence cited what he had experienced as a child as an example~www.wuxiahere.com~ At the same time, a silver-plated steel probe was inserted in the standard procedure for treating wounds. The wound, unexpectedly, he felt that the probe tip in his hand touched something hard in a large wound on the injured hip.

Lawrence stabbed several times and found that the hard object did not touch the bone but looked like some kind of hard object, so he inserted a pointed tweezers into the wound, and after several attempts, he picked out a coin the size of a coin. Black irregular metal.

   "What is this?" The people around also saw this scene, and then the middle-aged uncle who didn't trust Lawrence very much asked for everyone.

   "Arrow." Lawrence said while dealing with the last few wounds, "To be precise, this is a copper arrow used by a goblin. We are in big trouble this time."

"You are right." The staff member of the Church of Knowledge took the piece of golden metal and looked at it and said, "Only goblin tribes with more than 500 people have blacksmiths, and only when there are more than 1,000 people. Some metal consumables similar to metal arrows will be cast."

   "Do you mean that there are at least 1,000 guys with brown and green skin expressions around here?" The gray-and-bearded middle-aged man was surprised at first, and then showed a look of confusion. "But ours is a plain on the outskirts of the city. At most there are a few small hills and woods. There is no place to hide. If there are so many goblins, where will they hide?"

   "I don't think there will be any goblins on the ground in this place, otherwise it would have been discovered." At this time, Lawrence stood up after handling the wounds of the wounded. If there is no accident, the wounded will heal. "But what about underground?"
