Chapter 299: After fighting against the Navy and the Army
The Navy was speechless and had nothing to say, but the Army would not give up just yet.
An army general that Purficott had met before asked her: "Little Brandless, flying battleships are not rare in our army, but you can't say that they don't have flying knights. Use it?
We don’t want more than one knight! All the budget comes from our army’s military expenditures, and there is no need for the empire to increase its military expenditures. This is no problem, right?”
After saying that, the Army General looked at Purficott with the same expectancy, waiting for her answer.
Before coming, many meetings were held within the Army to discuss the issue of flying knights.
This naturally involves budget, personnel, and most importantly, the question of whether the formation of flying knights is necessary in the context of the impending doomsday winter.
I have to say that the Army is relatively pragmatic. They evaluated the positioning and use of the Flying Knight, and finally determined that the Flying Knight can play a huge role even in the context of the apocalyptic winter.
The only thing that might make Perfectcott refuse this condition is the issue of the military budget.
So they did not hesitate to cut themselves off and put the Flying Knight's budget into the army's military expenditures, and squeezed out the budget for the Flying Knight by cutting off other budgets.
However, after hearing the Army General's words, Purficott just sneered and then took out the flying stone.
"This is the flying stone, the core component in making the flying knight's armor. It is a magical material that can offset gravity." Purficott introduced to everyone.
The existence of the Flying Stone has actually been sent to the desk of the military department a long time ago, so the senior generals have no special emotions about it.
“Its production requires the Philosopher’s Stone. This is a fantasy material that can only be born based on the Philosopher’s Stone. That is, there is no other way to create it except using the Philosopher’s Stone. Materials that are based on reality, I named them fantasy materials, which are materials that do not exist in reality and are created using fantasy alchemy." Purficott solemnly emphasized the fantasy properties of the flying stone to everyone, and this made everyone. They all looked surprised.
Some people quickly reacted and understood why Purficott emphasized this.
Some people haven't turned around for a long time, but after being reminded by others, they quickly understand what this means.
Immediately, a Vice Admiral of the Navy asked Purficott: "Does the Philosopher's Stone have to be used to create the Sky Stone? Doesn't this mean that Brand is the only one in the entire empire? Count Leith, can you make the Sky Stone?"
"Yes, you can think so, unless there are other alchemists in the empire who can complete the refining of the Philosopher's Stone." Perficott shrugged. He shrugged his shoulders and put on an indifferent look, as if it didn't matter as long as you had the Philosopher's Stone and you could rub the Sky Stone yourself.
But does the Empire have a second Philosopher's Stone? The answer is naturally no.
Except for the cracked Philosopher's Stone in Purficott's hand, there is only this Philosopher's Stone in the entire Victoria Empire and even the entire Old World that can clarify its existence.
The other Philosopher's Stones either only exist in legends or stories, or their whereabouts are unknown and cannot be verified.
The only alchemist in the world who can refine the Philosopher's Stone is Perficott.
Originally, other countries in the old world did not have alchemists who could challenge the Philosopher's Stone, but most of them were concentrated in France and other old world powers. Among them, the alchemists of France were the most promising. to this point.
Then, they were wiped off the map along with France's capital by Perficott.
Although Purficott once lamented the huge destruction of human technology and culture by doing so, sometimes this is a necessary evil. However, this has also led to a huge impact, that is, Perficott may be the only one in the world who can clearly refine the Philosopher's Stone.
As for the others, they are either dead or unable to cope.
Maybe some people are still working on it and don’t intend to become famous, but at least no one within the known range can challenge this.
Some people even think that Purfict herself may not be able to refine a second Philosopher's Stone, because hers is considered by many people to be the legacy of her parents, and she has not recreated it herself. The power of a philosopher's stone.
Otherwise, as a top alchemist, there is no need for her to keep using a broken Philosopher's Stone. She can completely recreate a complete one.
The reason why she didn't do it was because she couldn't do it anymore.
In a sense, this inference cannot be wrong, because Purficott did inherit the inheritance from her parents, and she did not have any intention of refining the second piece of the Philosopher's Stone.
But this does not mean that Purficott cannot be refined into the Philosopher's Stone.
Perfect, who inherited the entire alchemy legacy of her parents, could completely reproduce the entire process of her parents refining the Philosopher's Stone if she wanted to, and correct the mistakes they made in the first place. So that the Philosopher's Stone can be successfully refined in one go.
But this doesn’t mean much to Purficott.
She had the Philosopher's Stone, and even though it was broken into two pieces, it wasn't unusable.
And she has no need for more use. One piece is enough, and there is no need to spend a lot of time to refine the second piece.
So this has created a situation that seems quite embarrassing now, that is, the flying stone has to be rubbed by Purficott’s own hands. If she doesn’t want to rub it, no one can force her.
Obviously, the generals also realized this after reacting.
"So the flying stone can only be made by Little Brandlis yourself?" The Army General looked at Perfectcott and the flying stone she took out to display, with a very serious expression on his face. Tangled.
Purficott nodded affirmatively, and then said: "The Flying Stone, as a product of fantasy alchemy, cannot be made without the Philosopher's Stone, so currently only I can make it.
And even I can only make one or two pieces at a time. It is very difficult to make.
So it is impossible for you to want a flying knight of the Knights. , If I have to make so many flying stones, I don’t have to do anything else this year, just rub flying stones.”
Hearing this, the expressions on the faces of everyone in the army became as full as those in the navy. The loss of a new toy being taken away.
But after taking a look at them, Purficott said in a hesitant tone: "But mass production is impossible, but it is still fine for individual elites.
< br>
Although the flying stone is not easy to make, one advantage of it is that it can be adapted to steam knight armor of all levels, even a legend. ”
