The Cook of a Perished World - Chapter 240
Episode 241 Technician
“Uh Oh Oh Oo!”
“Huh. no. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. No, this is it. “Huh!”
Books that were translated after a lot of hard work by Ariela and the vampires.
I brought those books to you.
The engineers’ reaction was a little strange.
‘It’s as if those smart guys have lost their language.’
As they are technicians, they are likely to have the most professional knowledge in our unit.
Those guys look like they can’t speak properly.
“What kind of crazy technology is this…”
“Aha… this is how it happens. Hehe… Ah! indeed…!”
“no. “This is what happens?”
“Oh yeah… I guess I approached it too scientifically.”
“Well, if you had the medium of magic, you could try a lot more different methods…”
Something else later.
I started muttering a realization that I couldn’t even understand.
It’s as if they can’t even see their corps leader right in front of them.
Soldiers who appear to be busy turning the pages of a book with all their concentration.
Why are they doing that?…
I can roughly guess it.
“Commander.”
“uh? “Uh-huh.”
A member of the unit who still has some reason left.
Captain Lee Sang-ah said while breaking into a cold sweat.
“I don’t know how on earth you translated these books, but…”
Percussion!
“I think I can be sure of this one thing.”
She read all the books.
He closes the book and shouts at me.
“These are overwhelming items that cannot even be compared to rewards for any given achievement!”
This is exactly why they do that.
I brought it because I thought it would be helpful to production workers… but
it ended up helping me much more than I thought.
I had no idea how much it was.
An immediately recognizable phenomenon occurred.
‘…uh?’
Captain Lee Sang-ah closed the book.
Inside her body.
I feel a familiar energy gathering.
‘no. ‘No way.’
Although it was very unfamiliar at one time.
After Doomsday.
The same energy that I have become infinitely accustomed to.
Or kill a monster.
Only given when you achieve great achievements….
‘Experience points.’
and.
It didn’t seem like it was just experience.
[Lv.27 Intermediate Tailor]
“Sergeant Shi Shin…”
“Us.”
Likewise, engineers who succeeded in skimming through an entire book.
He said in a trembling voice.
[Lv.28 Intermediate Tailor (New!)]
“My level has gone up.”
“….”
Just by reading it.
To the point where the level of production workers has risen.
Overwhelming experience.
‘crazy.’
I could understand because I had experienced something similar.
past.
When I saw Chef Dasmur’s secret dish.
‘Even though I was over level 30 and my experience requirement had increased overwhelmingly… I went up a level for free.’
Although these people are of a much lower level than I was at the time.
The phenomenon itself is the same.
and.
This was not something that could be overlooked simply because of gaining experience points.
The reason why my level went up when I saw Chef Dasmur’s cooking.
Because that dish was way ahead of me.
Then, what is contained in that book?
‘Overwhelming technology… so much so that production workers’ level goes up just by looking at it.’
That technology.
This means that it fell into the hands of the Legion.
* * *
Quang!
When you say your level has risen.
I didn’t know exactly what the outcome would be.
but.
‘Probably not these guys.’
Corporal Lee Gong-woo, who read the entire book.
He roughly opened the door and entered [Lab Lv.2].
He then placed the gas mask he made on the workbench.
A guy muttering with a cold expression.
“It’s trash.”
“….”
“I’m the one who created this trash… I’m beyond embarrassed.”
No, what is it?
Anyway, it’s trash.
“That was incredibly effective…”
“Is this all you mean!? “Don’t be rude!”
“Uh uh… okay.”
To others, it was an incredible item.
In fact, the person who made the product was selling the product he had made without hesitation.
‘If you think about it, that guy had a secret Spartan temperament…’
He gets angry at even the slightest flaw in his work.
A soldier with the temperament of a craftsman.
Corporal Lee Gong-woo looked at me and said.
“As I said, this kind of garbage was the limit to what we could make with our technology until just now.”
“… Let’s just say we can get over that trash and all. so?”
“Not anymore. “Please wait a moment.”
With that said.
The awakened production workers took care of the parts of their respective protective sets.
I started working on a strange project that I had no idea what it was.
And the next day.
[Legacy Protection Set (Prototype No. 2)]
“It’s complete!”
In just one day.
Production workers who returned after remodeling their protective clothing.
The name is definitely the same as before.
The difference is the name Prototype No. 2.
And…
“Your appearance has changed a lot?”
“yes. “I’ve only just discovered the big problem with the existing version.”
Its appearance.
Clearly, protective clothing No. 1 looked like ordinary chemical, biological, and radiological protection clothing.
It was quite bulky and to be honest, it was a bit uncomfortable to move around.
“It was a big mistake to make it with the old, ordinary protective clothing in mind in the first place.”
“Can I call it prejudice? “I mistakenly thought that referring to forms created by Earth’s technology would naturally be helpful.”
Whereas now.
‘At least moving will be much easier.’
A design that fits a little closer to the body.
Moreover, it looked much more sophisticated than the existing protective clothing.
Likewise, the gas mask also went through some modifications and its rugged appearance completely disappeared.
Rather than protective clothing, well.
A sleek design that looks close to the future special forces that appear in science fiction.
‘Honestly, it’s kind of cool, but…’
And.
Of course, what was important was not the design.
[This is an item that has achieved tremendous performance improvements that cannot even be compared to Unit 1 after careful modification by the production workers of the ‘Steel Legion.’]
[Its original purpose is poison resistance, as well as combat sustainability and activity in a poisonous environment. Significant performance improvements have been made in all areas.]
That’s right, performance.
If what we were given when wearing Unit 1 was [Minimum Poison Resistance].
[Lower Poison Resistance]
[Lower Poison Resistance]
Of course, the resistance has become stronger.
With additional characteristics.
It looks like it even has a bit of resistance.
“To the extent that poison resistance has become stronger. Even if we go deeper, there will be no problem.”
“The wearer will be given resistance, so they will not immediately suffer extreme pain if their resistance is pierced by a strong miasma. Even if you can sense that poison is seeping in, the pain won’t be that great. “Even if we retreat due to the miasma, we will be able to minimize disruption.”
The moment you encounter a miasma that breaks through the ‘resistance’ of existing protective clothing.
The wearer should have been immediately affected by the miasma and suffered pain.
It’s not even that anymore.
“They seem like crazy scam jobs….”
“Yes?”
“No, it’s nothing.”
Recently, it seems like one or two people working in production have appeared among other survivors.
They won’t be able to keep up with the production workers in our unit.
What is the biggest reason why the Legion was able to widen the gap with others?
Without hesitation, I could say that it was the power of these production workers.
And…
the gap in technological prowess was already widening.
That is right now.
It became even wider because of those books.
“You’re crazy.”
I couldn’t help but mutter in admiration.
“Is there anything about poison resistance in those books?”
“no. There was a little bit of that mixed in, but that’s not what’s important.”
“huh? Then what is it….”
“It’s an idea.”
Leader Lee Sang-ah explained in a cheerful manner as if she was excited.
“I don’t know exactly who wrote this book, but there is one thing I know.”
“?”
“They are probably people who could spend an entire day just doing research.”
In those words.
I recalled the phrase that appeared on the status window when I discovered the Dwarven.
Thanks to mostly slaves doing the work.
I was able to comfortably focus on my research in magic engineering.
‘no. ‘You guessed it right?’
Although it was absurd to me.
It seemed like it was natural from her perspective.
“It would be impossible if you hadn’t invested that much time into research… There were attempts coming from all kinds of ideas.”
“It’s an idea…”
“The theories themselves were too high-level for us to use right away. But the ideas that led them to create that theory are different. “We use magic and science in all kinds of ways to create new technologies… This is not possible simply because we have good abilities.”
“Tap.”
Chief Lee Sang-ah speaks while touching her head.
“It is necessary to destroy the stereotypes that have been built up until then and establish new rules. And this is only possible if you invest a considerable amount of time.”
In other words.
This means that our unit must have invested a considerable amount of time to come up with that idea.
‘Not anymore.’
An idea that requires a long investment of time.
Because what those dwarves must have invested a tremendous amount of time into building up has now come into our possession.
Production workers refer to that idea.
They came up with a new method and used it to improve the performance of protective clothing.
“The important thing is that this is only prototype unit 2.”
“huh?”
“According to what we read, that underground mine would have been a temple, a home, a mine, and a research center for them.”
“That is to say, a research institute.”
“yes. “The deeper you dig, the more knowledge you will discover.”
Corporal Lee Gong-woo.
He said, holding my shoulder with sparkling eyes.
“Sergeant Shin! “Please do me a favor!”
“….”
“Please dig into that mine as deep as possible!”
The reason for targeting the mine was my personal greed.
That I want to give those monsters a proper death.
If we succeed in obtaining magical power here, this unit becomes stronger.
I thought it would be okay for me to advance to Gyeonggi-do alone.
That’s why we stopped mobilizing troops.
I was planning to try a new attack by mobilizing vampires.
“For us!!!”
Not anymore.
We have to dig underground.
An official reason for becoming a corps arose.
“The information I gained from the books you brought was considerable, but there were many empty spaces. “There is no beginning of the theory, only the middle or the end, things like that.”
“ah… “There is no first-year course, only a third-year course.”
“If we can fill that empty space, we will be able to make better things!”
Definitely as these guys say.
There is no way that there is only one Dwarven facility discovered below.
“So this is just Unit 2.”
If we bring to them what we have gained from more facilities, our technological capabilities will likely improve.
If that happens.
“yes. If we do well, Unit 3 will be able to come out.”
“….”
“If you can give me more information, about Unit 4 and Unit 5.”
They say that Prototype Unit 2 can’t get through that underground mine.
With Unit 3, we will be able to dig deeper.
Even if we get stuck there, if we can get something more, Unit 4 will come out.
Go deeper into Unit 4…
Then again…
Uh.
Is this possible?
“Infinite power…?”
“yes? “That is not a word to use in situations like this.”
“anyway!”
like that.
If you repeat technology discovery, you will be able to dig deeper.
“If only we could reach the end of the underground like that.”
Only then.
“Not a prototype… but a real ‘finished product No. 1’ will be released.”
Mining strategy.
Phase 2 has begun.
* * *
“Whoa.”
“Thank you for your hard work in this battle.”
After the battle to secure an area is over.
Engineers begin construction of a facility nearby that can be used as a base camp.
Several weeks have passed since the full-scale occupation war began according to Sergeant Shin Young-jun’s magical strategy.
The winter weather became more severe, and harsh snowstorms were falling from the sky.
In order to fight in this environment…
stable supply is essential.
“Supply unit. “I’ll be back.”
A supply unit belonging to the occupying army.
At that time, we were about to move towards the main force, Vimana.
“hmm? Former corporal. Are you planning to return for a while?”
“That’s it.”
Tanks, the core force of the occupying force, could not move hastily because they consumed too much oil.
That’s why recently they’ve been venturing as far away as possible and building a base camp there.
They were gradually moving to distant places to occupy the area.
I guess so.
It had been quite some time since the entire expeditionary force was unable to return to Vimana.
In the meantime, one or two soldiers received leave and returned to the vimana with the supply unit.
“I think this is my first time seeing you go, corporal.”
“Actually, I might want to stay a little longer. Still, I think I should come back at least once.”
“aha.”
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il was the person who had been part of the expeditionary force the longest.
But no matter what, you can’t focus on operations for too long.
After slowly returning, he decided to return to the supply unit as he felt that he needed to adjust his condition a bit.
‘I’ll have to report it to Sergeant Shin on my way back.’
With that thought in mind.
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il returned with the soldiers of the supply unit.
He was first and foremost their corps commander.
I found Sergeant Youngjun Shin.
however.
“Sergeant Shin is not in the restaurant?”
“Yes.”
“…? If the person who is a chef by profession is not in the restaurant, where…”
After returning to the vimana.
He received unexpected news.
“that is. It appears that there has been an operation going on inside the fortress recently. “I was not included because I was on the security team.”
“…As expected of you, Sergeant Shin. “He never rests.”
I thought that I had been focusing quite harshly on the battle.
Unlike him, who returned from a vacation like this, Sergeant Shin Young-jun was doing other things at the fortress.
‘He actually says he doesn’t have anything special, but from other people’s perspective, he is a person who can only be admired.’
Still, we’ve come this far.
Corporal Jeon Gwang-il, who thought that his face should be shown as his successor, asked.
“Where is that operation being carried out?”
After briefly seeing the face.
I thought I would share a brief update on my current situation and return to battle right away.
I went there with a light heart, but…
“Mark 5! The breaking point has been reached.”
“You’re here. “Where was the breaking point?”
“It was 6,800 meters underground.”
A soldier wearing unusual clothes.
Corporal Lee Gong-woo is seen having a conversation.
‘…?’
This is definitely where Sergeant Shin Young-Jun is.
But there….
“I can’t help it. “The completed Mark 6 has been completed, right?”
“yes. Looking at the trend of the poison becoming stronger so far… according to our calculations, this Mark 6 will be able to pass without difficulty up to at least 8,400 meters.”
“Good. “This is a translation of the technical books obtained during this expedition.”
“thank you!”
“Everyone else, change into Mark 6. We’ll enter as soon as we’re ready!”
“Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty!!!”
A scene reminiscent of a battlefield was unfolding
where he was fighting .
‘What the hell is this…?’
Where the hell are you?
What is going on?
