Soshyan once heard Veronica mention that in addition to war machinery, the ancient Ada Empire's army also had a large number of psychic beasts. What the Barbarian Eldar had mastered was only the surface of the ancient empire's biotechnology. The creature named after the dragon is not a "real dragon". There are still ancient records in some ancient virgin worlds. In the era when their race was prosperous, there once existed a real star dragon that could soar in the void with its wings.
"Well, there is such a record, but it is only limited to a small amount of written records. Currently, the Royal Court does not have the corresponding technology. Therefore, although the Phoenix Holy Grail has been recovered, it does not mean that the Royal Court can create those powerful psychic beasts. , there are only two solutions. Send an expedition team to search the ruins of the ancient empire, or go to various virgin worlds or craft worlds to investigate to see if there are any records or corresponding technologies that have been passed down. Or, Comoros may also have , it is said that some Haemonculi and the Beastmasters of the Arena also master the creature manufacturing and domestication technologies of the ancient empire."
"It seems things are not that simple."
After the huge mountain dragons, there is a group of four-legged creatures that are half as small as them, but equally huge. They are somewhat similar in appearance to the mountain dragons. They also have long necks and tails, and stocky bodies, but the difference lies in their heads. They are smaller in proportion, have thinner necks, and only have four legs. They come in groups and are huge in number. There may be hundreds at a glance, and the size of the individuals varies greatly. There are also adult dragons sandwiched between them. With the young dragons in their arms, they ran happily among the dragons without any fear of being stepped on by their huge parents.
Outside the dragon group, there are dragon knights riding carnivorous dragons. Like shepherds, they maintain the formation of the dragon group and prevent them from getting too close to the sea. What they use to drive the dragon group seems to be a special horn that can Make a deep sound.
Most of these tamed dragons have no attachments. Only the six largest ones have war fortresses made of spirit bones on their backs. However, they are quite terrifying. These things are larger than large knight mechas. If the swarm charges, they can directly level a position with brute force.
"Your Highness, this is the Brachiosaurus. It is also the largest creature we can tame and the most important defensive force. Although they cannot spit deadly flames like mountain dragons, they can squeeze out stomach acid and sprinkle it on the enemy. Their stomach acid It can melt rock and steel. In addition, the Brachiosaurus also has a unique ability, that is, they will collectively emit a unique roar when they encounter threats from the sky. This roar will become one when they are emitted in unison. A deadly infrasonic weapon that can threaten enemies in an entire area, including the sky. Only by wearing spirit bone armor can you avoid being harmed."
"Oh, this is pretty awesome."
After Brachiosaurus comes Megalodon. This kind of dragon is smaller than Brachiosaurus, mainly because their tail is not long, the overall structure is more stocky, the forelimbs are long and the hind limbs are short, the neck is thick but slightly short, and the head is covered with a layer of armor. piece.
There are a lot of them, but they look very stupid, and they are very afraid of the dragon knights. They will crowd together if they are driven away a little. There are no war fortresses behind them, but some of them are equipped with platforms that can accommodate multiple people and small weapons platforms. Composite saddle.
"Megalodon is generally not used as a weapon of war. They are very stupid, but if there are two males in a group, they will fight, and they will fight to the death. Therefore, the group must be divided artificially. Despite these shortcomings , but they are the main source of wealth and food for the Linnaean Kingdom, and they are also an important commodity. The meat of Megalodon is soft, juicy and has no peculiar smell. It is also very popular even in Comoros. The leather can be used as building materials or Clothing, and its polished bones are also good tool materials. Their powerful teeth that can grind rocks are used as raw materials to make various handicrafts. The most commendable thing about Megalodon is their head armor. When they fight, they hit each other's heads, but even if the skull is shattered, the head armor will not be damaged. This layer of material is extremely strong and flexible, and is almost immune to corrosion by all acidic substances. If thrown into the fire It will not burn, and it must be processed by special means. The governors of Comoros like to buy this material to make armor. The older the megalodon, the more expensive the head armor is."
Soshiyang nodded. He had eaten various delicacies made from Megalodon meat last night. Indeed, the meat of this creature is not as rough as it seems on the surface. Ada's livestock breeding technology has indeed been ignored in the past. point.
"Is this kind of creature easy to raise?"
I have to say that Soshyan is a little excited. If this kind of animal can be introduced into the human world, it may create huge economic and social value. Even if it is not good, more people can eat meat.
In fact, it's not just dragons like this. Soshyan is also very interested in the incredibly high-yielding crops of the Barbarian Eldar. In a sense, he is already one of the most powerful people in the empire. He knows better than anyone else that compared to Among aliens, heretics and even evil gods, what really kills most humans is the most common concept - hunger.
It seems that since the establishment of the Empire, hunger has been a lingering shadow that has always hung over the heads of mankind. Even during the heyday of the Empire's Great Crusade, food and clothing were still the only pursuit of most of the Empire's people, and by the Ten thousand years later, the situation has not only not improved but has become worse, so Soshiyang is always thinking about this.
But I just don't know how the meat ratio of this thing is, but looking at the majestic scale in the distance, Soshiyang estimated that the size of the Megalodon group in the Linnaean Kingdom was more than 10,000.
"Going back to Your Highness, it is not difficult to raise Megalodon. On the one hand, this animal has a very complex diet. They can even enter shallow seas to eat seaweed. On the other hand, the kingdom grows a unique fast-growing plant. This plant has two It can grow to a height of six to seven meters in three days, and will die overnight after maturity. The seeds will erupt back to the ground, but whether it is fresh or dead, Megalodon can eat this plant. The nutritional content is very high, but it contains highly toxic substances. However, Megalodon is not afraid of it. They can eat more than ten tons at a time, and can even use this toxin to convert it into substances that are beneficial to their digestion. As for the current disease of Megalodon, There are no infectious diseases yet. Only young children may be infected with some fatal diseases. Generally, the time from birth to maturity is about 6 years. Their main problem is fighting, so they must be monitored at all times, and some young ones have to be taken away. of males.”
After listening to the introduction, Soshyan knew that there was no chance. This kind of creature requires too much feed and the maturity period is too long. For Ada, who has a long life, it may be very short, but for humans, livestock that matures in six years is not enough. So practical.
After Megalodon is Triceratops. This beast looks much smaller and is considered normal. Although it is still larger than a Leman Russ, there are so many of them that you can't even see them at a glance. situation.
According to Valentino Ravich, this creature is a very violent creature, but once domesticated, it is extremely loyal and obedient to its owner. Therefore, it is more suitable as a military weapon than the Megalodon. The Savage Eldar are also A unique war saddle is specially designed for the Triceratops. It can be equipped with a closed shuriken cannon or laser cannon, and there are additional protective gears to protect the more vulnerable parts of the Triceratops. Simply put, they are those of the Savage Adas. "tank".
