Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 16: Magnetic Storm Coil
Colonel Mayova did not send troops to **** Yin En's food team. Instead, he was replaced by six knight lords who should have ruled Lai'an separately, just like Yin En.
This bankrupted Yin En's plan to obtain a group of professional soldiers through compulsory recruitment, but the gift from the colonel was too heavy, which made Yin En feel indifferent.
Anyway, according to the information, Qing Chao will lead the mercenary troops from Port Harrison to Lai'an within three days. At that time, Yin En can also obtain reliable subordinates.
And... Yin En also vaguely understood.
There must be a reason why the Marquis of Barton and Colonel Mayova have not sent regular troops.
He can't get an answer now because he lacks important information, but he can probably guess a little idea.
"Isn't it... the Marquis of Barton still has an internal response to the mountain people?" Yin Enxin said: "This eagle is so stable, there must be a news channel!"
Now, after the food team arrived, the residents who came to Ancheng have completely settled down.
Carloads of food were delivered to the warehouse right in front of their eyes, and the real food made the people who had been hungry for a long time cheer from the bottom of their hearts.
Of course, not everyone is happy... Some people wonder how it is possible for Yin En, a lord who came to take office temporarily, to prepare enough food in advance?
——He wouldn't slap his face swollen to make him fat, but the surface layer is grain, but the bottom is actually rocks and sand, right?
And even if it is true, how good food can be bought now that Nanling is so difficult? Could it be that they are all inferior goods...
People who questioned this kind were immediately caught by Yin En's guards, hung up and beat them for 30 minutes-then the grain team randomly opened up some stored grain, which proved that the grain was indeed fresh this year Good food.
Yin En even picked out a canned fruit and opened it in front of everyone, tasting it on the spot.
It was a canned apple with a delicious color. Under the amazed gaze of the citizens, the boy picked a piece and put it in his mouth, chewed it happily, and publicly announced that it tasted good.
This practical act completely dispelled the doubts of the citizens.
As for those who were hanged and beaten...
You can question it, but you have to bear the consequences of questioning the lord. This is normal in Terra.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yin En immediately delivered a speech to the citizens who came to collect the food.
"Citizens, I know that the chaotic days without a lord in the past six months have caused the entire city to lose control."
"The conflict between the empire and the mountain people, as well as the changes in the Flaming Land, everyone must understand that this is the most fundamental reason for our difficulties-you can't work because of this, you can't get paid, and the workshop production The goods cannot be sold."
"But now, I have opened the road from Lai'anling to Nauman City, and the arrival of the food team is proof. Our Lai'anling has always been a hardworking and wealthy territory, and this will not change for any other reason! "
"It's time to resume full production and let our life gradually become normal!"
This speech is very brief. To put it bluntly, it is asking everyone to return to their jobs.
Because the problem of survival has been solved, and the transportation channel has indeed been opened, so this has not received any resistance from the citizens... For too long without a job, even the people who come to a rich place like Anling are exhausted deposit.
If work is not resumed, the residents who come to Ancheng will flee.
After unloading the food, the caravan transporting food quickly loaded another batch of gold leaf healing ointment, a specialty of Lai'an City, and prepared to transport it back to Nauman City.
The restoration of work and the re-opening of business routes prove that the order has been rebuilt, and that one's own labor can earn the wealth that allows one to live. This is what really makes people feel confident.
Yin En saw this, so he took advantage of the situation and resumed work as soon as possible, restarting production in the city.
Next, Yin En returned to the castle to work.
Because of the current shortage of manpower in the city, Yin En does not plan to renovate the castle for the time being. Baron Laian's study can barely be used, and it will be repaired after defeating the mountain people.
Here, he began to sort out the resources related to Lai'an Ling.
Lai'anling has a medium-sized city, fifteen towns, and many small village settlements that have not been counted, with a total population of more than 200,000 people.
The knight collar that Yin En was supposed to be allocated included the three towns of 'Bihu Town', 'Anxi Town' and 'Dieyan Town', plus a large mining area near the North Lake, with a population of more than 20,000 people. The knight collar is considered a fairly wealthy area.
But now, all the other mountain knights have been killed... or in other words, sacrificed heroically.
Then Yin En could only reluctantly accept these territories on their behalf.
In addition to these villages and towns, Laianling actually includes three large mining areas in the northern mountains, two forest herb plantations, and a large undeveloped wasteland in the northwest mountains.
Combining the large-scale spiritual plant planting area around Lai'an City, in general, it is a rich place with extremely rich resources and almost everything.
Moreover, there is a lot of room for future development. The main reason why it maintains its current appearance is because selling Xiahuicao is too profitable. The past lords' ambitions are not here, and the expansion of the territory will not make more money, but it will cause a lot of trouble.
For example, if the mining areas in the north are to be developed, the mountainous environment must be destroyed. At that time, there will definitely be protests from the mountain people and they will want to divide the money.
That's why Baron Laian didn't develop it, and just left the mining area there to dry. Anyway, given the richness of resources in Nanling, it's cheaper to sell the extract of Xiahuicao and then buy the ore with money than to dig it yourself.
But now, Yin En will definitely restart the development of these mining areas and wastelands. It is common sense that all important development resources cannot be imported from outside.
In the barony realm, Lai'an collar can basically be the highest level of configuration.
You know, although Yin En’s hometown, Harrison Port under the jurisdiction of Viscount Grant is a large place, but its population is slightly larger than that of Lai’an. In terms of wealth... as a large trading port, it is not that bad Let's go up and down.
For example, Viscount Avak has a population of nearly one million, three medium and large cities, a hilly mining area and a plain planting area. All kinds of industries are complete and complete, and they even have the ability to produce military alchemy equipment—this is the real thing. The configured Viscountdom.
Viscount Grant will die if he sees it.jpg
Lai'an Land has the resources of Avak Viscounty Land, and even has better potential than ordinary Viscounty Lands, but it has not yet been developed.
But that's the problem - Laianling has everything, even if it doesn't have it now, it will definitely have it under Yin En's development in the future.
But it just doesn't have the most critical energy source.
The elemental crystal is stuck.
Elemental crystallization is a special material that only appeared on the Terra continent after the Heavenly Fall.
It can provide extremely powerful energy, which can be compared to cheap rocket fuel that can be used by civilians. It is a strategic material in the true sense, and no country or force will allow private sales.
There is an element crystallization production line in the territory, so it can be regarded as a large territory that can be self-sufficient in the true sense.
Viscount Grant helped Master Gosser and others to explore and develop the 'Sparkling Crystal Shell' before, in order to allow Port Harrison to have its own production line for crystallization of independent elements - he already had the technology, but mainly did not raw materials.
Lai Anling has no relevant technical reserves.
This is the empire's restriction on the mountain people... As long as the element crystals are stuck, the mountain people will never be able to develop high-level alchemy skills, let alone create all kinds of powerful alchemy artillery and armor. weapon.
For two hundred years ago, this policy was indeed good.
But two hundred years later, especially now that it's Yin En's turn to settle down...then the problem will be big.
"Currently, I rely on my own production, and I can barely use it, but I have to build it later."
Yin En raised his left hand, frowning slightly.
The surface of the arm hosted by the ether crystals has cyan source quality lines flowing, and under the secret method of the Dragon Blessing, the non-stop running ether crystals have been producing high concentrations of source quality crystals, and now there are as many as a small bag.
There is trouble with the power armor, but it is no problem to meet the daily needs of the troops.
This means that Yin En has ether crystals - but if someone else does this, it is tantamount to digging themselves as a mine, and they will have to be destroyed within a few days of digging.
"There's a lot to do."
Putting down the document in his hand, Yin En let out a long sigh: "The principle of the element crystallization production chain is not complicated, and I can make it myself, but from the cultivation of raw materials to the production line, at least it is a one-year project." /
"Let's put it away first, who knows what will happen in the future, maybe the Marquis of Barton will give me one after seeing my meritorious service in fighting against the mountain people in Nanling?"
It is definitely not possible to send elemental crystallization production chains, but it is definitely okay to send other things.
Emperor Capital, Shangcheng District.
The Marquis of Barton is drinking tea with the second prince Mikael.
The old general suddenly interrupted the topic between the two of them about the western theater, and made an expression as if he was listening attentively.
Then, the Marquis nodded with a smile, and said to Mikael, who raised his brows with an interested look on his face, "Did you hear that, Your Highness? It took him two days to calm down Laianling, and by the way he settled all the competitions." Opponent."
"It is said that he is still developing new weapons... This kid has amazing potential!"
Speaking of this, he smiled and took a sip of tea: "With force, determination, and strategy, you really shouldn't underestimate young people... I won the bet we made, right?"
"Indeed." Mikael also looked in the direction of Nanling with some surprise.
After the Marquis of Barton came to the imperial capital, he chatted with him about how Yin En would develop after returning to the territory. After knowing that some mountain people in Nanling had a little conflict with the empire, he was still lamenting Yin En's luck It's really bad. I originally planned to take the funds back to the territory to build an alchemy workshop, but now I can only put aside the war, wasting time for no reason.
However, he never thought that Yin En could take down Anling with the force of thunder, and even fully understood the meaning of Marquis Barton and Colonel Mayova, and wiped out all the mountain knights without leaving a single one.
After hearing that Yin En sent people to take away the ashes of those knights, even Mikael, who was used to big scenes, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"But he is still young. Alchemy weapons are naturally powerful, but only elite troops in the military use them. Naturally, there is a reason for this—the elemental crystals in Lai'an must have been used up, and he is probably worried now."
The Marquis of Barton sighed in his heart, Yin En's ability can be described as a first-rate genius in his military career for so many years.
My son Mayowa is far inferior in comparison, especially at such a young age, the protagonist of Nanling Province in the future will definitely not be anyone else, it may only be him.
In this case, let him make it easier.
"Open the trade channel of element crystallization to Lai'an."
Thinking silently in his heart, the Marquis of Barton remotely communicated to Colonel Mayowa in Nanling: "People can't give him, but supplies must be sufficient - ask Yin En what other materials he needs, and sell them to him at the cost price. "
"General?" Colonel Mayova also called his father that way on weekdays. He was a little surprised: "Didn't Yin En just take one and come to Ancheng? Now that he hasn't blocked the striker, why did he suddenly open his mouth so loudly... "
"Come to Ancheng? If he just expelled the mountain people, then you are right, but he has destroyed the core combat power of the three mountain people tribes." Marquis Barton said: "What's more, before It is a business, and now it is a private investment, and it goes without saying that His Royal Highness Mikael lost the investment to me."
"But don't make it too obvious. He looks very arrogant, and he might not accept the gift."
This is obviously another person who overestimated Yin En's moral sense - arrogantly not wanting benefits? Is he such a person?
If you really want to give it away for free, Yin En will only accept it with a smile, and at most say a sweet thank you.
Colonel Mayova understands: "Received."
On the third day after that, Yin En received supplies from Nauman City.
It was not soldiers who led the team to **** the supplies, but a well-known mercenary from Nauman City and his team, known as the Iron People of Blue Electricity.
Of course, he can't really be a mercenary. In fact, Lan Dian is one of the many spies who collect information under the Governor's Mansion, but the identity of the mercenary who hides his identity is getting better and better, so that he has become bigger and stronger in the mercenary industry and has made a name for himself, so he simply Then he registered another name in the Governor's Mansion and received two salaries.
The Marquis of Barton has never been stingy with his capable subordinates, and he will pay as much as they can for a few jobs, so his subordinates have always been loyal.
When Iron Man with dark blue hair and a beard came to Lai'an City, he was a little surprised to find that the dilapidated city that had been ravaged by the mountain people a few days ago had almost been restored.
The dilapidated buildings on the outskirts of the city were cleared away, and the base was surrounded by railings for future reconstruction. Some tents were also set up on both sides of the road, and a small camp was formed, so that people without houses could have a camp to live in.
Because winter is approaching, the sawmill is running at full capacity, and every household has started to stockpile fuel.
Lai'an City has returned to normal.
But what really attracted Lan Dian was not these post-war recovery scenes, but a strange tower on the edge of the city.
This tower has obviously been modified. The top floor of the original tower was removed, and a huge metal coil was installed. It stands high in the air, and there are obvious arc flashes on it, which looks dangerous. .
As a thunder attribute sublimator, Lan Dian couldn't help but feel a little kindness and curiosity - he asked a resident with a hasty face, and soon got the answer he wanted.
"Magnetic Storm Coil?"
