People in a Fantasy World: My Infinite Synthesis - Chapter 10

Luo Lan’s Alloy Exoskeleton Gloves could not only enhance his strength, but also had the ability to fire palm cannons and finger lasers. The original intention behind designing these gloves was to facilitate repairmen in repairing heavy mechs, so it was perfectly reasonable for them to have laser welding capabilities. As for the palm cannon, it was actually a derivative use of its power propulsion system, because these gloves were not a standalone item; they were part of a complete set.

The complete set looked somewhat like the Iron Man suit in the Marvel universe and could fly. The true function of the palm cannon was actually to assist in flight. Therefore, it needed to eject extremely powerful thrust to ensure the balance and acceleration of the Iron Man suit. Thus, it was not surprising that this palm cannon could easily penetrate human skulls.

However, one must remember that he had now transmigrated to a fantasy world with extremely backward technological civilization. The surrounding tribesmen could be said to be a group of uncultured, ignorant people. How could they have ever seen such a scene? Instantly, everyone was stunned.

Although magic existed in this world, in their impression, even powerful mages needed to chant spells and borrow the power of gods to cast magic. But the Luo Lan before them, when firing the palm cannon, did not chant any spells; he just fired it directly. This clearly didn’t look like magic at all, but rather like a divine power superior to magic, commonly known as a miracle!

Suddenly, their eyes, when looking at Luo Lan, not only held respect but also contained profound faith.

Just then, a group of tribesmen actually knelt down before Luo Lan, began to prostrate themselves, and prayed.

“Divine power, this is extraordinary divine power!”

“Congratulations to the Chief for receiving the favor of the gods and becoming an envoy of the gods.”

“From now on, you are our faith! You are the supreme being! Our tribe will follow you through life and death, and forever worship you as our Lord. May our Lord’s divine power be eternal, and the divine fire never extinguish! Please, our Lord, protect and bless your humble believers!”

A group of tribesmen knelt on the ground, their prayers continuous, sounding solemn and reverent. Each person’s face held an expression of incomparable piety. Even children, under the guidance of their parents, all knelt before Luo Lan, offering their faith.

Seeing such a scene, Luo Lan was stunned, as this was something he had never expected. He had merely used the palm cannon function of the exoskeleton gloves. Yet, he hadn’t expected to be directly regarded as an envoy of some god by his tribesmen.

However, on second thought, this point was also reasonable. As mentioned before, his tribesmen were uncultured, ignorant people. Their understanding of this world was superficial and one-sided. So, once they encountered something beyond their comprehension, they would habitually mythologize it. From ancient times to the present, it had always been this way, and this world would naturally be no exception.

He had to admit, this was crazy and ignorant. But at this moment, he liked their madness and ignorance. Because just then, system notification sounds kept ringing in his mind.

[Faith Value from Dulu +2]
[Faith Value from Artu +2]
[Faith Value from Weir +3]
…….

In just a short while, he received Faith Value from the entire tribe. A rough calculation showed that it was over 300 points. One must know that the system’s novice gift pack only gave him 500 Faith Value. Now, gaining 300 points in one go was enough to show how much shock these Alloy Exoskeleton Gloves had brought them.

He subconsciously brought up his personal attribute interface.

[Host: Luo Lan]
[Strength: 12+40]
[Constitution: 13]
[Agility: 12]
[Faith Value: 850 points]

Because he had already brought considerable shock to the tribesmen when he killed Botu earlier, increasing his prestige among them, he had already gained dozens of Faith Value points. Now, with everything added together, his Faith Value had reached 850 points.

And as far as he knew, synthesizing a firearm only required 500 Faith Value. Even adding the collection cards needed for the three raw materials for gunpowder (charcoal, saltpeter, sulfur), and the Faith Value required for synthesizing gunpowder, plus the cost of purchasing the firearm design blueprint, it would only be 630 points.

Thus, it meant that with his current Faith Value, as long as he gathered the raw materials, he could synthesize hot weapons like firearms.

Of course, for him, who already possessed the Alloy Exoskeleton Gloves, whether he had firearms or not actually had little impact on his individual combat power. However, based on the system’s characteristic of providing manufacturing steps for successfully synthesized items, whether he could synthesize firearms played a crucial role in enhancing the overall armed strength of the tribe.

Because once the system publicly provided him with the detailed manufacturing steps for firearms, he could try to establish a production line and mass-produce firearms. By then, their tribe’s weapons and equipment would directly evolve from cold weapons to hot weapons. Such a leap would be equivalent to sparking an industrial revolution in this world, and its far-reaching significance was self-evident.

Although the performance and power of firearms (flintlock guns) could not compare to the modern guns in his previous world, if he could ensure that each of his tribesmen had one, the combat power that could be unleashed would be extremely terrifying. In this world, not to mention being invincible, but driving those beastmen out of their original homeland should still be achievable.

With this thought, his face couldn’t help but show a look of anticipation.

However, synthesizing firearms was not something that could be accomplished overnight. Leaving aside other things, the most important component, gunpowder, was extremely difficult for him to obtain at present. This was because the three ingredients for gunpowder—saltpeter, charcoal, and sulfur—were quite hard to come by.

Saltpeter and charcoal were relatively easy to deal with; saltpeter could be collected directly in some damp environments, and he could burn charcoal himself. But sulfur was difficult to obtain; it required special extraction methods. And before he transmigrated to this world, he was not a chemistry major, so he didn’t understand the extraction methods. He only vaguely knew that the mineral from which sulfur could be extracted was something called pyrite.

However, not to mention whether there was pyrite in this world, with his knowledge, he couldn’t even distinguish what pyrite was. Thus, the only way he could think of right now was to collect ready-made sulfur from a volcano. But according to the memories he had integrated, there were no volcanoes nearby. So, the collection of sulfur was a very big problem.

Unable to figure it out for a while, he temporarily stopped thinking about it and turned his gaze to Botu’s few confidantes. Since Botu and his son were dead, his biggest threat in the tribe was resolved. However, these remnants were still a hidden danger, and keeping them was absolutely impossible. So, without another word, he raised his hand and fired three more palm cannons.

Instantly, three more corpses appeared before him. After doing this, he expressionlessly scanned the tribesmen. Then, he put on an act and said, “I am the incarnation of the Lord of Technology. My Lord’s majesty cannot be challenged. All who blaspheme my Lord shall surely die!”

“!!!!!” Everyone.
