Alchemy Greater China

After becoming an alchemist, the heart of nature in his body also evolved into the heart of elements.

And the existence of this elemental heart will make the growth of one's golden source energy very slow!

For example, assuming that one kilogram of gold can increase the amount of energy by one quart, now it may take one hundred kilograms to increase one quart.

The gap is a hundredfold!

This is not surprising, there are too many types of elements in the world, Long Hao only needs to pay attention to metal elements, but now, there are too many elements that require him to pay attention to, and the energy required is naturally greater.

Of course, Long Hao also learned from the inheritance that using metals to increase energy would be inefficient, but if other elements were used to 'prescribe the right medicine'...for example, absorb towering ancient trees, then the energy of the wood element in the body would be efficiently released. Increase.

Well, it may be a little difficult for everyone to understand here, so let me make a simple analogy (perhaps a bit inappropriate).

Before becoming an alchemist, Long Hao had a single thread in his body: the metal element thread.

But after becoming an alchemist, his body has become multi-threaded, and this "multiple" does not have a clear value, it may be five, or it may be five hundred.

The energy transformed by metal is only effective for the 'metal thread', while other threads, and so on, must have the energy of the corresponding attribute to promote their growth.

Only when all the threads are full, Long Hao's alchemist stage can be considered a great achievement, and he can open the next stage of inheritance.

At that time, will the energy in the body be [-], [-], or [-]?Long Hao has no way of knowing now.

"Isn't this intentional so that I can't store energy?"

Long Hao muttered, patted his buttocks, put on his clothes, and walked out of the black iron battle castle, stepping on the snow without a trace: "The current mechanism is clearly to encourage me to use more energy! Anyway, the day when it will be full is far away. , It’s a waste if you don’t use it! According to the inheritance, the more energy I use, the more proficient my elemental heart will be. Therefore, my current first goal is to improve the proficiency of the elemental heart first. At least, let me know how many 'big pits' of elements are waiting for me to fill?"

The heart of the elements can help count the number of 'multi-threads' in the body, but at the current level of Long Hao, it is still impossible to do it.

After talking about the super big hole of 'multithreading', Long Hao wiped his face, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: Although there are many holes, he still got a lot of benefits when he was promoted to an alchemist...

one of them.It was Long Hao who finally had an extra 'power'!

Before that, the abilities of Breeze, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Ke had completely devastated Long Hao.

Why do they have supernatural powers once they become alchemists?

And I'm about to become an alchemist, but I still haven't even gotten a hair of the ability?

It's not fair!

Now, the promoted Long Hao finally got what he wanted and possessed a special ability.

Ability: Gravity Field!

Gravity field, as the name suggests, is to form a controllable force field around one's body.Can be used to counteract Earth's gravity, or.It can also change the action trajectory of objects close to itself.

From this point of view, Long Hao is very similar to a certain villain in a movie about supernatural warriors.

With the gravity field, Long Hao can leave the ground and fly.

However, this gravitational field ability consumes too much energy, so Long Hao will not use it until the critical moment.

after all.Now that the alchemist internship period of "Desperate Flowers" has passed (the number of flowers determines the number of elements), Long Hao now needs to store energy numbers. As before, he has to be diligent and frugal in managing his family, and he can no longer use energy numbers lavishly.

Because now every boast is used.It takes a hundred times as much effort as before to make up for it.

(Of course, the quality and power of each quart is not the same as before.)

Is it cheating?

At least Long Hao thinks so. At the same time, he is also thankful that he has taken in a few apprentices, and has also created a football school for cultivating alchemy talents.

As long as they grow up and can take charge of their own affairs, there will be very few opportunities for Long Hao to take action.

After all, it is more environmentally friendly to use 'low-level' energy numbers than to use one's own 'advanced' energy numbers.

Long Hao boarded the sapphire dragon boat, left Yuandao, and headed back to San Francisco.

On the return journey, Long Hao didn't use the gold source much, so the speed of the sapphire dragon boat was only the same as that of an ordinary ship. Therefore, when he returned to San Francisco, it was already June 22.

Just the day before, there was a breakthrough in the war in northwest Canada.

The American Volunteers crossed the Yukon Territory, crossed the US-Canada border, and entered Alaska!

The commander-in-chief of the U.S. Volunteer Army, U.S. Lieutenant General Cameye Swift, confidently pointed out five fingers to the reporters accompanying the army: "Five days, my team only needs five days to take the Earl of the North Sea to Alaska. Once the evil forces installed are eradicated, you can also photograph the historical moment of Alaska's return to the embrace of the Federation within five days!"

It's no wonder Lieutenant General Swift put down such big words, it's because the previous battle went so smoothly!

The native allied forces and Zhou Bodang's Dragon Scale Army were no match for the Volunteer Army. This mob was like frightened rabbits, driven by the Volunteer Army's high-spirited hounds to run around, almost covering the mountains and plains.

Originally, Swift thought that the other party had some kind of conspiracy, deliberately showing weakness, and wanted to lure him into a trap, but now that his team has entered the territory of Alaska, he let out a laugh and threw his doubts away.

Hohoh, the army of the Earl of Beihai is extraordinarily powerful and extravagant, but once they confront each other, they have silver-like wax spearheads, which are useless!

……

"Master, you are back!"

In the Dragon Palace in San Francisco, Uncle Long finally let out a long breath when he saw Long Hao.

"What's wrong? In a panic..."

Long Hao had just become an alchemist, he was in a good mood, and his smile was like spring breeze melting snow.

"Uh, master, you won't forget? Before you left, you wanted us to retreat from the front line and not make direct contact with the U.S. Army..."

"Oh. Didn't you forget? What's the matter? The Yankees invaded California?"

"That's not..."

Uncle Long froze, feeling a little depressed: Young master, young master, don't play disappearing all the time, okay, last time you won the lawsuit with great difficulty, and you disappeared for another month, now.Our situation is a little bit bad. If we keep back and don't fight back, we will make fakes come true, and we will be kicked out of the United States!Please be more serious, Huaxia Town has been withdrawn, and there is no news about the rectification actions you mentioned...

"Master, this is a telegram just sent. The U.S. military has invaded Alaska. Moreover, Oregon in the north is also in a state of emergency. The cities, counties and towns have fallen. In Mexico, Major Savy has been clamoring to fight. Gao Tianyang has already I pressed it several times, but in the past few days, even he couldn't hold back anymore, and he sent me urgent telegrams almost every day. He asked to fight Roosevelt..."

As Long Bo spoke, he took out a stack of telegrams.

Since entering June.The three flying knives had a great impact on Long Haofang. The Dragon Scale Army kept retreating, losing battles, and giving up territory... Long Bo was worried that if this continued, morale would be worn down, and he might not be able to counterattack at that time. Will be powerless!

"Oh. Everyone endured very hard!"

Long Hao took the telegram, browsed it quickly a few times, and listened to Uncle Long explain in detail where the three throwing knives had stabbed his side, and said with a chuckle: "However, Uncle Long, don't worry. When I come back this time, within a few years I won't play missing anymore! Well, now it's time to fight back, Yankee, who has a gangster factor in his bones, has been pinching me like a soft persimmon, I want them to take a look, when this persimmon is smashed open , there are durians inside, what expressions will they have!"

durian……

Long Bo was sweated by Long Hao's genius metaphor, but this unreliable metaphor also gave him a shot in the arm, boosting his spirits: Alright, the young master is finally going to fight back!

"Long Bo, collect the battle situation in Alaska and make it as miserable as possible. By the way, let Zhou Bodang and the soldiers over there bear it for three more days. On June 25, launch a counterattack for me and fight a beautiful turnaround. Let the American soldiers taste our power!"

"it is good!"

Long Bo clenched his fists as he chatted about his boyish madness, crushing the telegrams and newspapers.

Just do what you say, on June 23, Long Hao once again borrowed the San Francisco City Hall, faced the people in the square, and expressed a strong protest against the US Army's invasion of Alaska.

What he said, in a nutshell, is the central idea: the minerals in Alaska were bought in advance with his unique investment vision, which is legal and reasonable. Now the US government wants to use shameless means and domineering methods to recover them for free. , absolutely no way!

Long Hao called on the guards remaining in Alaska to be fearless of power, and called on them to take up arms and persist in fighting the invaders to the end.

These remarks were fed back to Washington, and all that was attracted were the belly laughs from the White House headed by President Cleveland: Tsk, what's the use of just a strong protest?Now we are going to force your Alaska to take back your mineral rights, what can you do?

Guard?

Call them to resist?

Forget it, just that few people, are they still scum in front of our powerful volunteer army?Ha ha!

The people in the White House do have reason to be optimistic, because the intelligence from Canada shows that there are 8000 volunteers, and the equipment is all the first-line equipment of the US military. The morale is high after successive battles.

And what about the fabled Guardians?

I heard that even the full staff of 2000 is not enough. There are only about 4000 people. Even if the aborigines who returned from the defeat in Northwest Canada are included, they will never exceed [-]. Their morale is low, their weapons are outdated, and their ammunition is scarce. What can they do to resist their momentum Ruhong's volunteer army?

What's more, there is another point that is quite beneficial to the volunteers, that is, after several years of development, Alaska is no longer the original barren land. There are many railways laid on it, with a total mileage of more than [-] kilometers!

This allowed the American Volunteers to carry heavy weapons, quickly advance from the railway line, and divide and encircle.

The three-dimensional strike will make it very difficult for the Alaskan guards to escape!

It is said that [-]% of these railways were built by the Carnegie Union Pacific Railway Company. It has to be said that this is the best example of Long Hao's cocoon. Xiao Na felt embarrassed.

The people in the White House laughed out loud, as if they wanted to laugh out the embarrassment of failing to sue the Earl of Beihai a month ago...

By the way, the American Volunteers did give the people in the White House a boost. Since June [-]th, news of success there has been coming in like snowflakes: something has occupied several more train stations.What captured several base villages, and what nationalized several mines... It seems that Lieutenant General Swift's wild words of 'capturing the entire territory of Alaska within five days' are really possible!

On June 25, Long Hao held another press conference in San Francisco, inviting more than a hundred reporters.

America now.For Long Hao, California is still considered safe, so it is reasonable for Long Hao to use this as a base camp to issue orders, but in the eyes of Rockefeller and others, this action is ridiculed in his heart: Shhh, everyone is sleepy. In a corner, do you still want to fight?Even if you can jump over the wall in a hurry, my three throwing knives are like three dog-beating sticks.Whichever direction you jump, I will knock down hard in that direction!Knocking you dog's head completely surrendered!

However, at this press conference, the topic that Long Hao raised first seemed to have nothing to do with the surrounding war crisis.

"Everyone, here, I have an important announcement to announce, ahem. It is my country, the country of the North Island. Today, it is finally established! My Chinese compatriots, finally stand up!"

Behind the long table covered with red silk cloth, Long Hao cleared his throat and attracted the attention of the reporters: "Actually, this country has been established legally long ago. However, where is its territory, everyone should We all know that it is not suitable for people to live there!"

During the conversation.Long Hao pulled out a globe from under the table, put it on the table, and pointed his finger at the top. There is the cold Arctic Circle. Anyone who has read world geography knows what kind of harsh living environment the islands in the circle are.

Therefore, the reporters all nodded and smiled in good faith. At the same time, Duo's eyes were full of puzzlement.

We know that small islands in the Arctic Circle cannot be inhabited, but Earl, are you holding a press conference today to emphasize this common sense?In other words, those small islands can live in people! ?

"That's right, some journalist friends may have already guessed... Yes, after some transformations, some of the islands in the archipelago sealed to me by Queen Victoria are already inhabitable, and I, starting today, will make my citizens Move over to live in one after another!"

Under the gaping gaze from below, Long Hao said leisurely: "From now on, this is the territory of my country of the North Island, and around it is the territorial waters of our country! Please, friends from the press, tell everyone in the world through newspapers. Ships, starting from August [-] this year, the sea area around our country can no longer pass freely, if you want to pass, you must first seek the consent of our country, otherwise, as the king, I reserve the right to sink them!"

After speaking, Long Hao pressed the palm of his hand, and the globe was smashed to pieces!

Long Hao's words sounded like a thunderclap on the ground, which stunned all the reporters present!

Even the reporter of the Courier newspaper, who has always cooperated closely with Long Hao, has a scorched head, and can't figure out what kind of medicine the Earl of Beihai is selling in the gourd this time?

The existence of the country of the North Island is known to the world, and before that, Long Hao also used the title of the lord of the country to do a lot of things that benefited himself.For example, moving the company to the country to register, such as flying the flag of the North Island country on the warship, etc., but it has never announced the existence of the North Island country in a high-profile manner like today!

Existence is enough, and the land and territorial waters have been formally demarcated in such a way, assuming a tough posture of dominating the Arctic Ocean.

You need to ask for your permission to pass through the sea, otherwise it is possible to fire guns?

Count, who do you think you are?You are just the queen of England who is in a good mood for a while, and you are named an honorary nobleman. You want to dominate the ocean like Britain. I am sorry to ask, where did you get that strength?

Some people thought so, so reporters immediately asked questions like this.

"Earl of the North Sea, will you be too domineering if you do this? Have you discussed with the countries around the Arctic Circle, such as Russia, Canada, and the Nordic countries?"

"That's right, my lord earl. Did the Queen of England know in advance about your decision? Also, when she conferred the territory, did she make detailed regulations on the division of territorial waters?"

"Count, I think your method of dividing territorial waters is illegal! On behalf of the "New York Times", I strongly protest! This newspaper will boycott this report!"

"You must apologize and take back the above words, otherwise, the federal government will be the first to recognize you, the so-called North Island country! Your words today will become a laughing stock!"

"Count, don't regret what you said today!"

……

Everything has pros and cons. The New York Times is Long Hao's old enemy. Faced with this challenge, Long Hao has long been prepared.

"Hehe, I welcome you to boycott, but I will never take back what I said today! As for the coordination with other countries, that is my business, and you don't need to take care of it! As for whether it is legal or not, I think the person in front of me The White House represented by reporters is even less qualified to speak!"

"I have received word that Alaska is being invaded. A group of U.S. troops calling themselves volunteers have crossed the Yukon River and are robbing my mines... and to the north of me, in the neighboring state of Oregon, the federal After the 338e Division last year, the army once again blatantly invaded western cities. They are still massacring civilians for no reason and savagely robbing civilians of their property... In the south of California, Viscount Savoy of Spain and President Diaz of Mexico have sent me Many letters of appeal for help, because the U.S. Army, which has forcibly occupied Cuban territory, wants to impose the disaster of destroying the country on Mexico this time... Are these very legal?" (To be continued...)
