Struggle in the Steam Age

Because of the murloc siege, Lawrence and the others couldn't go there for a while. According to Cog, they found a lot of gold, silver and jewels and captured a few remnants of Scarlet Sky for on-site investigation. Of course, it would be too boring to wait for the murloc attack to end in such a ten-day period.

Not to mention that when Lawrence and the others raided the murloc shaman before, Safir found thirty or forty peanut-sized, very round fresh water from the small bag seized from the apron of the killed murloc shaman. pearl. Two or three of them contain enough water-attribute magic power to be used as magic props.

So in order to find something to pass the time, and at the same time, for the various special products at the bottom of the lake that the murlocs carried. Lawrence and Syfel ask Cogg how to go to the front line to fight.

"Going to the front line is easy, because there will never be enough people on the front line." Cog said with a relaxed face after hearing Lawrence's request the next morning. "If I remember correctly, the front line has always been open to Transcendents who volunteer to join the war. But you two probably won't be put into the front line."

Cog has his reasons for guessing this way. Although humans have enough weapons and fortifications in the main city, other areas that need to be defended are not so easy to say.

In particular, the murlocs were able to cause some damage to humans with their huge numbers and the support of some superhuman beings, and naturally there would be many casualties. The group of commanders who are famous medical experts like Lawrence will definitely not let him go to the front to fight.

After Lawrence and the others went to the headquarters according to Cog's instructions, they found that his guess was completely correct, because the world has been in a chaotic state of war, so there are many guys who are good at fighting among the extraordinary. Therefore, to the command, a person who is good at dealing with large-scale medical problems is far more valuable than a full-scale warlock.

Knowing that Lawrence was a member of the Commonwealth Scientific Society for his achievements in medicine and agriculture, the command gave him the respect he deserved. After a brief discussion, the headquarters finally appointed him as the medical and logistics inspector in this war.

In this war between the civilized creatures and the murlocs, the superhumans are naturally the backbone and the spearhead of the assault in each theater, especially when faced with the surprise attack of the murloc superhumans, they must be killed immediately.

In view of the huge number of murlocs, even though the fighting skills of the remaining superhumans are generally low, they have an absolute advantage in speed. Relying solely on the superhumans in Huguang City can at most block the superhumans among the murlocs. And the ordinary murlocs who are attacking the land frantically in the face of the waves are absolutely unstoppable.

But fortunately, this kind of savage race that relies on eggs to breed dozens of eggs in one clutch and two broods a year, which is more fertile than goblins, can't even beat goblins in terms of combat effectiveness, especially on land. One goblin can easily kill three a murloc.

Even the most important reason for the murlocs in the Great Lakes to attack the land on a large scale is not to compete for living space, because just like most humans cannot live in water, most murlocs cannot live on shore either. For them, even if they grab a part of the land, there is no way to survive here.

The only reason why they went ashore was that the resources in the lake were not enough to support the rapidly increasing fish population, so some extraordinary murlocs as leaders drove these murlocs directly ashore to plunder all the resources they could see. do it. On the one hand, it can consume too many fish mouths, and on the other hand, it can obtain enough resources for itself.

Therefore, under such circumstances, human beings can only resist the tide of murlocs by fully mobilizing. Therefore, not only extraordinary people were dispatched in the battle in Huguang City, but also a large number of ordinary people were thrown into the battle as the main force of the battle. Naturally, such battles produced a large number of wounded.

Extraordinary people have their own treatment plans, so there is no need to worry too much, but the treatment of ordinary people is not so easy, especially when those supernatural medicines and treatments that work well are not popular at all. So after Lawrence ran to volunteer, the headquarters simply asked him, who is good at treating ordinary people's injuries, to be in charge of the medical treatment of non-superhuman wounded.

After receiving the task, Lawrence immediately summoned the Phantom Horse with his bracelet, and then he and Safir rode on the horseback and rushed to the temporary field hospital, because he knew that saving people was like putting out a fire, and he could arrive a few minutes earlier It might save a few more people.

After the two arrived at the location indicated by the headquarters, they found that the field hospital was built on the campus of a local middle school, but the arrival of the wounded soldiers completely broke the tranquility of the campus. When they approached the school gate, Lawrence heard faint groans coming from the teaching building.

"Excuse me, are you—" At this time, a policeman wearing a short cape and a helmet hat came out of the gatehouse and asked. Because at this time Lawrence and Safir were wearing the kind of costumes used by superhumans in battle, the police also seemed polite when they questioned them.

"I'm a medical and logistics inspector just appointed by the headquarters." Lawrence said as he showed the letter of appointment just issued to him by the headquarters.

"Mr. August?" After reading the name on the commission letter, the policeman seemed a little excited. "Are you Mr. August, a member of the Federal Scientific Association?"

"Yes, it's me. Among the members of the Society of Science who are still alive, my surname is August. By the way, do you know me?" Lawrence felt a little strange looking at the policeman's excited expression. After all, the transmission speed of information in this era is not very fast, especially in the world of ordinary people. He felt that even if he had a little reputation, it would not spread so far away from his home in such a short period of time.

"Of course, of course, of course I know you." The policeman nodded repeatedly, "My parents have a vineyard, and the grapes in the vineyard were infected with downy mildew this year.

Just when we were desperate, those agricultural priests came up with a very good plan to save the entire vineyard, and since then I have remembered that the agricultural priests said that they can cure both people and plants Lawrence August. "

"It seems that you are quite famous." Safiel approached Lawrence and said, "Even if you are so far away from home, there are still people who know you because of your favor."

Because a series of papers published by Lawrence have repeatedly affirmed the importance of disinfection, at least doctors in this big city have accepted the concept of disinfection.

When Lawrence and the others walked through the playground, they could see a two-story pole supporting a baseball-sized crystal ball emitting golden light in the center of the playground. The clothes and bed sheets hanging on the rope around are all spread out layer by layer with this crystal ball as the center.

From time to time, several staff members walked between the sheets and clothes to collect the dried clothes, and then moved the wet clothes that were far away from the bead to a place closer to the bead.

"This is?" Lawrence asked curiously, pointing at the ball. He could feel the light and heat continuously released from the crystal ball, and he recognized that this thing should be a A rare magic item.

"That is a sunshine bead." The policeman introduced with a little pride, "You should know that our city is shrouded in dense fog for at least 300 days out of 365 days a year, so the local spellcaster association is trying to make a magic bead that can release Sunshine's magic tool."

"The result?" Safir asked curiously.

"Half the battle." The policeman shrugged. "The thing has been made. This magic prop can indeed release artificial sunlight that is no different from natural sunlight. However, I heard that the energy consumption is a bit high during operation, and the area that can be illuminated is too small, so it was rented at most before. To provide sunshine on certain occasions to those who need it."

"However, according to the doctor here, after you put forward the theory of disinfection, this thing immediately changed from a large toy to a strategic material, using the sunlight it emits to disinfect these clothes and sheets."

"It's really great. I admire the spellcasters in this city." Lawrence nodded slightly after hearing what the police said. It seems that in this world with extraordinary power, once those extraordinary people exert their subjective initiative, they can make many surprising contributions to promoting the overall development of civilization.
