Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 74: Materials of Lord of Steel
For ordinary people in the Xiahui Territory, the changes brought about by the victory in the war are slow and subtle.
For example, more and more mountain people choose Xiahui Territory as a transit point for trade with Nauman City and the other territories of the Agate Plain, which greatly increases the local economic advantages. And the bards in the tavern are also extolling the great achievements of their lord, spreading the name of the prophet as much as possible, paving the way for the creation of future sects.
It is difficult for ordinary people to notice abnormalities, and they only take things for granted. There are still many things in the territory, and everyone is suddenly unaware.
But apart from that, there are also some quick and tangible changes: for example, there is no longer a curfew at night, and more and more magnetic storm armor and well-equipped guards stand at the street entrances in key areas, showing territorial force.
And there are many more hired mountain workers in the city.
Many residents were surprised to find that the streets and alleys are full of strong men from various ministries sweating to reorganize the streets and expand the area
Exhibition area.
With the addition of such a group of strong laborers, Yisi's process of reshaping Xiahui City has been greatly accelerated. For those who seldom go out due to winter, every time they go out, there will be a feeling of changing with each passing day.
What is this tower? Magnetic storm coil?
That black thing on the top of the lord's mansion is. ..... Prism cluster cannon? !
﹣My God, the whole street has a brand new pavement? Even the armor can't be broken, right? More than that.
On the Guyan Peak outside the city, on the half-mountain platform, there is even a simple dragon nest. People brought a lot of scares.
Theo is happily building his own nest. The young Zhenlong who left his mother's supervision for the first time is like a young man who left home to rent a house for the first time. He wants to build his own warm little home by himself.
Ian was declined when he wanted to help, so he could only shake his head and leave
In fact, the changes in the Xiahui collar are not limited to the city.
It also originated from the distant imperial capital.
In 774 Terra, on January 9th, a blue-black dragon-scale war horse was galloping on the streets carrying the envoys of the imperial capital. He did not slow down, but he did not hit anyone either. At that moment, he could even step on solid ice out of thin air and fly in the air, causing the onlookers to let out an exclamation.
It passed through the vibrant Xiahui City with lightning speed, all the way to the castle of the Lord's Mansion by the lake, and then slowed down and climbed up the cliff.
Many passers-by looked at the dragon horse and the knight in surprise. They gathered together and couldn't figure out who was so bold and dared to ride the horse to the lord's mansion. Many mountain people even thought that the knight Insulting their envoy, he raised the hammer and tool pliers in his hand indignantly, and wanted to go forward to ask for an explanation.
But the local residents of Xiahui City vaguely saw some clues from the sun emblem on the knight's armor. They stopped the mountain people and told them the true identity of the knight.
That is the messenger of the imperial capital.
"It's finally here? It can be regarded as officially honoring me."
In the lord's mansion, Ian, who was exchanging funds with Scott, started, he was a little surprised: "However, I thought they would finish the New Year Festival in the imperial capital (the celebration that ends in the first ten days of January)
It will come later, but looking at it now, they set off at least ten days earlier. "
"My records are still useful." He laughed.
"Imperial capital?" Scott, who was working hard to build funds for the new city, was a little at a loss. The iron man scratched his head, looked at his lord, and asked with some expectation: "Is that the Ellen family?" Did the young master send money for you?"
"
Of course not. "Ian shook his head, and he complained: "Don't treat Isengard like a kid who gave me money. We are allies who help each other. He helped me much more than money. !"
"Besides, didn't he give away five thousand talers last time? Who do you think bought the alchemy equipment in the new alchemy workshop?" Ian felt that he had to let his subordinates know, Who is the real nobleman of Xiahui leader.
"But there is really a shortage of money right now."
Scott looked at the forms and accounts in front of him, guilty
Holding the pen sadly: "Xiahui Lake needs a sum of money for the new farm, the element crystallization production line of the alchemy workshop needs money, the tools for gorge exploration need money, the new mine needs money, and the employment of mountain workers needs money , The new city also needs money, not to mention the improvement of the sewer project and the pollution recovery equipment of the alchemy workshop that you asked for, my lord, all of which need money.
"It's not the recycling of polluting substances, but the "reuse of equipment". At least 10% to 20% of effective alchemy materials can be recovered, which can greatly save costs. The earlier it is built, the more it can pay back. And even make money."
The young man frowned slightly, and he glanced at the document in his hand: "But other than that...um. It's all pure expenses."
Seeing this, Ian couldn't help being silent, and then sighed: "The construction of the territory really costs money - if you know it in the first place, you won't buy people's hearts, and you will cut taxes for the mountain people."
That's what I said, but if the mountain people are not given tax cuts to recuperate, then Ian's next development and population drainage for the Midra Autonomous Region and other mountain tribes will be postponed for more than a year.
If Ian really wants money, he has plenty of ways to fix it. Among other things, he took someone from Jiamu some time ago
If the large amount of sublimation minerals and magic beast materials brought back from the underground secret storehouse are sold, they can quickly get tens of thousands of talers of sufficient funds.
But this kind of precious materials and even strategic materials are easy to sell, but difficult. Selling sublimation materials for quick money will definitely regret it in the future.
So Ian and Xiahui are not poor, but for a better future, to save time, and many things that are more important than money, which makes capital turnover a bit difficult.
Zhe time!
"Speaking of this." Ian opened the vision vision and looked at the lavender figure at the gate of the lord's mansion: "Can I ask the empire for a sum of development funds? I also meet the requirements of the empire's Nanling development plan Ah!"
Thinking of this, he quickly got up and greeted the other party.
The messenger of the imperial capital never imagined that a knight who came to deliver news would be caught by the local lord and asked about various regulations for applying for "development funds". He doesn't pay attention to imperial policy on weekdays, how could he know this?
Although the lord in front of him is very good-looking, if it's his free time on weekdays, the messenger doesn't mind talking a little bit more. ... But he had done his homework before coming, and he knew very well that the white-haired young man in front of him was fighting alongside the real dragon, and had just killed the leader of the third-level mountain people. He was a top-notch genius!
He didn't dare to fool the other party with half-knowledgeable information.
So, I am too embarrassed to refuse, and I dare not say anything in front of a patrol knight whose job title is higher than my own.
Turning his head and leaving, the messenger knight could only give one opinion: "Sir, you see, Viscount Timothy Ducasse, who will honor you in a few days, is coming. He is from the Hall of Nobility. Big man, you must know more about this?"
"That's a good idea."
After getting the news he wanted, that is, "who will award him the honor", Ian did not continue to pester the messenger, but let the other party leave.
He was thoughtful: "Viscount Dikas of the Noble Hall. I remember that he is a person under the command of the First Prince, right? I didn't expect that it was his people who came to award me the honor."
"It should be a strange thing to take advantage of this opportunity to try to recruit me. How could the second prince allow it? But I don't care. It would be nice if I could get some help...."
He has already started to think about how to get more benefits
As Viscount Grant, who received the aid of Grand Duke Sorin and the aid of the imperial capital, said back then, aiding such things is not free.
Aristocrats who want to develop their territories should not be afraid to eat hundreds of meals.
Every time you cheat on aid, treat it as your last cheat, and then don't be afraid of being discovered!
The news that Ian and Elder Manya joined forces with the King of the Mountain to quell the turmoil in Nanling had already spread to the imperial capital.
Although the main topic in the imperial capital today is the front line of the war with Feiyandi on the western border, the small victory in Nanling has also attracted the attention of some interested people.
In the first week after the big victory, Ian received letters from many acquaintances: the appreciation from the second prince, the support of another batch of ether crystals from the Marquis of Barton, and congratulatory letters from Isengard and Master Goser. ...． Even Hua An and Frost Butterfly were sent
He wrote a small letter and told Ian that they had found the batch of hot water goblins.
Now, they are trying to move the original lair out of the cooling storage, find a place to place it properly, and perfect it into a real "fairy lair.
If possible, they hope that Ian will also come to help out--it is really difficult for only one second level to do this kind of thing, and in a short time, no other elves will come to Nanling. Ian did write the return to Port Harrison in his memo.
The development of the Xiahui Territory is now on the right track, with his prestige, on the surface, the military guarantee brought by Xiou, and secretly there is the guard of Yadbert as insurance, the entire territory is solid, even if he is not there
Very safe. Not to mention, Ian now has mastered the most important "ether crystal production line"!
The element crystallization condenser obtained from Jiamubu "is in very good condition. After being sent back to Xiahui City by Qingchao, it was transferred to the depths of the alchemy workshop by Yadbert.
Except for a small number of core white people's guards, no one knows where this alchemy equipment, which is worth more than all the alchemy workshops in Xiahui City combined, is kept, and those white people's guards, even
Qingchao himself doesn't even know what it does.
After Ian returned to his territory, he immediately prepared to build his own element crystallization production line to completely solve the energy problem in the territory. The most core condenser is ready-made, but the remaining production line is quite simple, and Xiahui Ling can produce it by himself.
The raw material "Xiaojing Mushroom", Jiamu Department has a channel and planting area. Elder Manya took over the plantations located in the northern Midra Autonomous Region and Odor Autonomous Region. Continuous night mushrooms were sent to Xiahui.
About the end of the month, the elemental crystals produced by Xiahui Ling will be freshly baked, providing sufficient and cheap energy for many newly opened alchemy projects. "At that time, even without me, the territory will develop at a high speed. I just need to grasp the progress of key projects."
Ian is not a person who loves power. If possible, he doesn't want to take care of things at all, and concentrates on research.
But in Terra Continent, power and power complement each other, and if he has power, power will follow.
Some people call it "responsibility", but that is only for responsible sublimators. A considerable number of nobles only like to use power to satisfy their own desires.
However, Ian is a responsible person. After the war ended and he got the inheritance of the Steel Dragon Nest, he worked overtime for more than a week to prepare all the government affairs related to the mountain people and the development plan of Xiahui City. Finally, there is time to think about other issues.
Of course, this is not a bad thing - in the process of handling government affairs, Ian also converted "Kodnegamu's soul into an intermediate psychic computing unit using a silver chip.
As the "intermediate calculation unit" condensed from the soul of the third-level sublimator, its calculation power is nearly a hundred times that of the "basic"
Calculation unit". First, because the improvement of soul quality has greatly improved the structural strength of the calculation unit, making overclocking and accelerated calculations easier. Second, because with enough volume, the calculation unit can also be constructed into a more complex and efficient calculation unit. structure.
By observing the structure of the "intermediate computing unit", Ian also began to upgrade his soul. While optimizing his computing power again, he also gradually strengthened his soul strength to the third energy level to the point of.
In this way, as Ian's soul strength increased, he also noticed that the number of "parallel worlds on the path of spiritual disaster" that he could link to in his heart light body guide star was also increasing.
It is also for this reason that Ian Mingming had already unlocked the path of spiritual disaster at the beginning of the year, but until now he has not started to choose a parallel world to try to exchange technology. The opportunity is precious, you can try
Don't settle for better links.
Nearly ten days have passed, and Ian has almost completely converted his soul into a "medium computing unit" structure. His soul strength will slow down and will remain at this level for a long time. At that time, he will start to communicate with the parallel world.
"In this way, the basic calculation unit is the "primary meditation method", and the intermediate calculation unit is naturally the "intermediate meditation method". "
Experiment with yourself, Ian
At the same time, it is also summarizing the foundation of the future arcane path: "But it is still too complicated. I can figure it out, but I have to consider it for ordinary people."
He has already passed on all the "meditation methods" he has summed up to Adalbert, and asked the genius of the dead king to help him continue to optimize the meditation methods, and let the other party try to think about how to pass the existing "meditation method" ", and summed up a set of "apprentice meditation methods" that ordinary people with only "artificial souls" can learn.
Ian can do this research by himself, but his time is too tight, and Adbert also likes this kind of technology that can strengthen ordinary people. Being a leader is all about assigning the right tasks to the right people.
Knowing and employing people is the most important job of a lord. Only the most critical items can Ian take the time to research. Ian urged Scott, telling him to continue to fully promote the construction of major projects in Xiahui's territory, and he needs to go out for a while.
As for money, he will find a way.
In this regard, Ian is really not panicking.
Even if he fails to swindle a sum of money from the First Prince, he can still contact the Huoshi Group."
The alchemy coating agent that can work on armor has been proven to be practical, and the record is extremely good. It can be mass-produced-but there are still some key problems in the project, such as the pass rate, which needs to be solved. Therefore, it is necessary to apply for the second batch of research funds to stabilize the quality of the plating agent.
This reason, no problem, right?
Ian even has several follow-up reasons, such as "need to develop special new alchemy equipment", "need to train a new batch of professional alchemists", "need to improve compatibility for different types of armor", etc.. ....
Every reason can cheat a wave of research funding! Ian is old and skilled!
As for what Ian has to do, he needs to leave the territory in his busy schedule and leave behind various important research and official duties. .. is naturally the most critical item.
The brand-new advanced direction of the third energy level of Fudo Fortified City is now a new type of potion temporarily named by Ian as "Lord of Steel". Wang Benlong brought it here, and now it is at the mouth of Guyan Peak, waiting for him to enjoy it.
