Before the experiment began, Kardashian suggested a "test group" and a "control group." Hence, the lords arranged for twelve groups of projectiles to collide with each other. The elders at the scene set up magic circles and enchantments. After fixing the shooting angle and shooting speed, they bombarded the targets to their heart's content.
Roddy calmly watched them verify the results. However, Stika and Rubens were a little impatient. They craned their necks to watch, afraid that something might go wrong.
The experiment ended after more than two hours because the lords had temporarily increased the number of control groups to fifty in order to confirm the results. The final result showed that thirty-six out of fifty armor-piercing bullets with a quilt-like structure nailed into the ice armor.
As for the control group, forty-two ordinary bullets bounced off.
In fact, the material selection for the armor-piercing bullets was still a long way off. However, the bullets that Lord Pukasto had congealed according to the plan did show that the quilt-like structure was useful. They could clearly see the changes in the angle of the bullets without the need for a high-speed camera. All the previous doubts disappeared completely, and all that was left was endless exclamation.
The strength of science lies in its "repeatability." Whether you believe it or not, the results were there. There was no need to say anything more.
While they had been experimenting for half a day, Bast and the others had been staring at them like background characters for the whole afternoon. Up until now, the few of them had understood one thing: the five Honorary Elders whom they mocked and ridiculed just now had easily solved the problem that the three overlords and seven elders were vexed about.
If they were individually weak, they might have the right to look down on them. However, in the face of such results, Leuve, who was originally a little unconvinced, lowered his head obediently. He did not think that Lord Pukasto was useless. Looking at how they surrounded him and marveled at the results of the experiment, Leuve sighed softly. He just wanted to learn the spell to disappear on the spot and leave this place as soon as possible.
However, this was obviously unrealistic.
"Huh? Time flies. "
Lord Victor turned his head and looked at the image displayed on the crystal wall. Their discussion lasted until sunset. A group of people were still gathered around learning advanced mathematics. That's right, they were really "learning" because these things were completely beyond the current level of knowledge of the Dragons.
Hearing his exclamation, the lords and elders beside him coughed a few times in embarrassment. Roddy had already sat down with a cup of water. He stood up and said, "How about this? Let's go to the cafeteria to have a meal and take a break to digest the knowledge. What do you think?"
He did not directly say "that's all for today", which meant that he left some leeway. Pukasto was the first to respond. "The Prime Minister has arranged it well. Today has been an eye-opener. I've learned a lot from the five honorary elders!"
The previous humiliation of the "Honorary Elders" was largely due to the negligence of the lords. Naturally, they had to make up for it. As soon as he opened his mouth, the other Dragons, of course, put in good words for him. Roddy found it funny to see these powerful and powerful old Dragons flattering him. However, the status of Kardashian and the others alone was not enough to make these arrogant guys humble themselves.
At the end of the day, knowledge and formulas were the most powerful trump cards.
Roddy's proposal was approved. The group of lords and elders moved directly to the cafeteria. Herchino's cafeteria had been expanded several times and was not small. Because Rody had requested that there be no special treatment, there was no separate private room. Even former lords like Morales and Queio had to find a place to eat with their trays of food.
Therefore, when the three lords, Victor, Pukasto, and Crupus, a group of elders, and Prime Minister Roddy came to the cafeteria together, the other Dragons who were preparing to eat could see them sitting down.
Dragons had their own status, but the rules of the Magic Tower were still there. The lords still had to eat at the big table. Therefore, the order of seating became another manifestation of status. Logically speaking, the three lords were the most respected. There was no doubt that Roddy would sit at the same position opposite them. However, when they saw Kardashian and the others also sitting next to Roddy, the Dragons not far away suddenly stopped what they were doing.
"Honorary Elder" had always been another name for "consolation prize" in their eyes. People like Basta, who had long wanted to replace them, even mocked them as "trash". Dragons respected strength, and the lords could not stop this kind of thing. However, this suddenly happened today in the cafeteria where everyone could see. The guys who were still chatting around suddenly turned their eyes over, and their faces were full of disbelief …
Edith had already asked the kitchen to prepare delicious dishes. The five Dragons were all present, and each had different tastes. However, because the Magic Tower had been hosting the Dragons for nearly half a year, the dishes they brought out were praised by the elders. However, they were not here to flatter. Dragons also liked to talk at the table, and with Roddy leading the conversation at the main table, halfway through the meal, he talked about two things with the group of Dragons present.
Of course, this was not a big deal because the lords of the green and red dragons were not present, and it was not appropriate to talk about strategic matters. Roddy first brought up the matter of "patent protection". This was actually a supplementary agreement to the current Kingdom of Karen Magic Circle and even the scientific research circle. "For example, things like armor-piercing bullets, the lords and elders will certainly want to use them when they go back for research. However, this involves the issue of 'patent'. It's like a formula. If you want to use it, you first have to ask the original owner if he agrees, right? "
This sounded a little like "business is business", but the lords were already used to his style of speaking. Victor replied, "Of course. The structure patent of armor-piercing bullets belongs to the 'Strategic Arms Research Department'. Even if we want to use it, we have to ask the Prime Minister if he agrees first. "
"That's what I mean. However, everyone here is not an outsider. I will naturally give this patent to the five Dragons for free."
After Roddy finished speaking, the lords in front of him all raised their eyebrows. After all, this Prime Minister would never give out free benefits. Since he was giving something, he must have a motive.
Pucasto ate the steak in front of him and said, "Prime Minister, do you mean that we can carry out research and expansion on the basis of this structure in the future?"
