I kissed the statue at the beginning and I vomited all over the floor

Chapter 263: Terrifying Substance with Extremely High Energy Storage

Due to the easy victory of the second reconnaissance team, there was boiling cheers in the control center.

Even the members of the first team who went to the west to search for the enemy couldn't help but take the time to cast envious glances at the team members who participated in the battle.

The only one who was unhappy was Lian. The little girl pouted and tried hard to control her drone, stumbling back home.

As the only Flying Eye that was damaged in the battle, Lian was very dissatisfied with her performance.

She held the control ball and moved to Ivan's side, trying to squeeze out some liquid from her eye sockets, looking at this human pervert with a look that Ivan could not resist.

"Sister, brother-in-law... I also want a [Flying Eye] made of fine gold..."

When Leia heard this, she immediately ran away holding her control ball.

Ivan didn't react until the figure disappeared outside the door of the control center.

"You old licker... am I the kind of person who would steal your things and give them to little girls?"

After making a few casual complaints, Alvin reached out and touched the pocket where he kept his things.

When setting out from the Gray Haze Forest, in order to facilitate trading with the forces of the human kingdom, Alvin brought some refined gold and rare steel, intending to use them as exchange or gifts.

As a result, he got carried away and used all the refined gold on him to build Leia's [Flying Eye] drone.

Fortunately, both Neild and Huiyao City managed to complete their planned goals without delaying the mission to the south.

"Uh... short, ahem, little Lian, how about I let Daryl give you a brand new one..."

Lian tilted her neck back, the liquid in her eyes crystal clear.

"Or you can wait for Xiling to come back, and I'll dismantle a mortar and make you a bigger one..."

The little half-elf now puffed up his face and pouted, and his tightly bitten lips began to twitch.

"Oh, yes... Daryl still has some orichalcum. How about I try using that..."

"Okay, okay! Brother-in-law is the best!"

The short half-elf's expression quickly returned to its previous state, as if the malicious cuteness just now had never appeared.

……

Orichalcum is a less rare magical metal than adamantium.

The power of fine gold and mithril lies in their almost indestructible hardness and their terrifying resistance that completely ignores magic.

Therefore, as a warrior-type profession, the most popular materials are naturally the indestructible adamantine, or the slightly less hard but lighter mithril.

But orichalcum is something else entirely.

First, there is density.

Magic metals are usually hard and light, but this guy takes the exact opposite approach.

The hardness is naturally extremely great. It is said that under certain forging processes, its hardness exceeds that of fine gold.

But the same volume of mountain copper weighs almost ten times as much as refined gold.

Moreover, this thing has a very strong affinity for magic - that is to say, the speed of conducting magic is extremely fast, and it is said to also have strong magic defense capabilities.

The principle is just different from that of Mithril. Mithril and Mithril rely on their own magical insulation ability to "ignore" spell effects.

Mountain copper relies on its terrifying density to "absorb" spell energy.

Moreover, after absorbing it, it can be decomposed into pure spell energy and stored by itself.

Because of the properties of mountain copper, when the Dwarf Empire rose, it built a heavy armored force that was said to be invincible.

They all wear orichalcum armor that is impervious to swords and immune to magic.

Unfortunately, the amount of mountain copper is too small, and even just for plating it is not enough for large-scale equipment.

The army that was said to be invincible was forever limited to twenty-four people.

The six pounds of mountain copper that Daryl mentioned was actually only the size of half a fist - the size of Lian's small fist.

Lian, who had excitedly followed Ivan to Daryl's place, immediately started pouting again.

Even though she didn't know the structure of the Flying Eye drone, she knew that the platinum plating that Ivan made for Leia's drone also cost a fistful of platinum ingots.

With the mentality of giving it a try, Alvin repaired Lian's drone in an orderly manner. With the help of Leia, he froze the mountain copper ore and painted it on the [Flying Eye] drone.

Even if it's just a change of color, as long as this little girl stops pestering him with that life-threatening look, he can still be safe and sound when Xiling comes back.

A lot of small drama plots that shouldn't have appeared skipped through his mind, and the [Flying Eye] in Ivan's hand gradually turned into a bright golden color.

When the entire drone, including its limbs, was covered with orichalcum, Alvin felt that some magical changes had taken place in the characteristics of the drone.

But Alvin, who had no such knowledge, couldn't explain what exactly this change was.

But a certain research maniac was standing right next to him.

The old bootlicker Leia stretched out his palm, enchanted on the golden [Flying Eye], closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

"Ivan, you are a complete pervert..."

"Huh? What happened to me?"

Ivan, who was unaware of the situation, had an innocent look on his face. He had skipped over the little drama in his mind. Did he just say it accidentally?

Just as Ivan was doubting himself, Leia opened her eyes and showed an extremely strange expression.

"I've heard before that the Dwarven copper heavy armor has a mysterious skill that can increase the energy storage effect of copper by thousands of times after the outer layer of the armor is completely closed...

I never thought that you, a human, could accidentally replicate this magical craft from thousands of years ago!"

"Energy storage? Thousands of times? What does that mean?"

Ivan and Lian, two not-so-bright, half-baked druids, looked at Leia, the mage in charge of intelligence, with clear expressions.

“Let me put it this way, the energy storage module currently equipped by [Flying Eye] is a crystal the size of a finger;

It can store about a hundred elementary spells, or support a drone to fly for a week...

But the one you have now has a brand new internal cycle of energy storage formed by a mountain copper structure. If you use the crystals in other [Flying Eyes] to fill it into this thing, I guess——"

"Estimated what?"

Ivan and Lian craned their necks.

"It's estimated that there will be at least tens of thousands of them..."
