Section XXXIV Return 3
"What's the situation on the Banshee Gate?" Although Lu Wu already knew that he hadn't been away for a long time, he unconsciously asked this question.
"Everything went as expected. Red-clothed smiled. "The Evening Star family is doing a great job. ”
Forty or fifty days is not too long, and Lu Wu doesn't believe anything if he wants to say that several major projects have been built. But at least the next step can be deployed with a basic outline. After all, after all, the Banshee's Gate is a remote and desolate place, sparsely populated and affected by the ubiquitous "poisoning". To put it bluntly, the infrastructure is relatively poor. As the saying goes, blank paper is easy to paint, so even a small change in the evening star family will have a great influence.
After all, this is a rare opportunity.
Separated by the Destroyer-controlled area, the two camps have temporarily disengaged. This opportunity for peace is a rare opportunity for the periphery. Even if the Stygian Warlocks wanted to do something, they had a lot to fear. Therefore, the Evening Star family carried out a large-scale construction that was not so large, but it was also a large-scale construction with remarkable results.
Of course, even at this moment, this construction activity can only be said to have just begun. However, as a high-level executive, Hongyi already knew the entire construction plan of the Evening Star family. How to say it, this is not a great leap forward of luxury and atmosphere, but it is indeed very down-to-earth, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as "very good".
The Evening Star family has actually infiltrated and mastered the political power of the Banshee Gate with the connivance of Lu Wu. In other words, now all the personnel and finances here are in their hands, and almost all the officials are arranged by them - yes, this kind of impatient eating is indeed a little ugly, but anyway, Lu Wu himself can't organize such a ruling system out of thin air, so he can only let them do it at will.
At least the command of the army is still in Lu Wu's hands, at least it can be said that all the floating fortresses flying over the Banshee Gate at this moment should be obeyed by Lu Wu's command in principle. Of course, whether or not the Venerable Master listens is another matter. Even if people listen to it, Lu Wu must go through Ivan and the red clothes to do this-not to mention these fortress commanders who have just come from the outside and have never known each other, even if they are the middle level of a small legion before, Lu Wu can't even recognize all of them.
I have to admit that there is no harm without contrast. Ever since he had come into contact with the masters, especially after studying together, Lu Wu had been convinced that the human race's talent in terms of intelligence was completely scum. And because of the master as a reliable prompt and assistant, Lu Wu's learning ability was directly reduced to even scum.
"What are you worried about?" Hongyi seemed to see through Lu Wu's thoughts. "Rest assured, as long as you are the Governor appointed by the Radiant Moon faction, the command of the Floating Fortress is completely in your hands, unless it is a direct order from the top, which usually means that they have evidence of your betrayal. And if you wish, you can promote the person you choose to be the commander of the Floating Fortress through a completely legal process. ”
"How is the Stygian Moon doing lately?" Lu Wu casually tilted the topic.
"Honestly, they stopped at a safe distance after they broke away from the Destroyer. I heard that research into the exotic equipment of Kechagoat seems to be in full swing. Don't look at them before, they lost a lot, but they got a lot of samples. It is said that there is a good chance that we will be able to find out the key. ”
Lu Wu didn't think they had any hope. With the cooperation of the masters, he felt that the progress of Hui Yue and Hades Moon in this regard was completely incomparable, if there was progress.
"Uh...... So ...... on our side"
"No one is afraid to approach the area controlled by the Destroyer. Redcoat said. "Except for you. Your courage and wisdom are now being praised everywhere as you pass through the Destroyer's zone of control and head straight to the Stygian Moon. With the most courageous and adventurous one-on-one combat, with just one victory to let them run away. ”
Lu Wu had to say that this was really a big misunderstanding. But think about it...... It seems that at that time, it was really cool, and it was very deceptive.
"That's right, it's something you asked for. ”
Red-clothed casually placed the bag in his hand on the table—it wasn't very large, but when it pressed against the edge, it made the whole table shake and even tilt to one side. Redcoat had to move it towards the middle of the table to keep it balanced. Even so, the table top was visibly deformed.
It's important to note that the table is made of local wood – not particularly sturdy, but it's fine for at least two or three adults to stand on it. Lu Wu noticed the magic ring on the red hand—if it weren't for it, this thing should not be able to be held by the red cloth, at least not as relaxed as it is now.
Without asking, he knew that this was what the red clothes had brought over, Lu Wu took a look and saw a bunch of metal ingots of various colors. As mentioned earlier, this bag doesn't look very big, but without the magic ring, its weight can almost crush a person.
Although it was delivered, the red clothes didn't seem to want to ask at all.
"These things...... Is it more troublesome?"
"No, no trouble. I just told the airship to go around the refinery. Redcoat replied. "The vast majority of the mines of the Banshee's Gate...... In legal relations, it belongs to the name of the Governor. Of course, now it is the people of the Evening Star family who are operating. However, I would like to say that if you take a small amount of it as a sample, you don't even need to go through the formalities. Just take it directly. ”
"Banshee's Gate...... Is it basically recovered?"
"The losses in this war are very large, but in the end, everything has basically returned to the way it was before, and even because of the arrival of the Evening Star family, it has also received some infrastructure and technical upgrades. You're doing a great job in this regard. Redcoat tilted her head to the side and looked around the room. "Bringing the Evening Star Family in is indeed the fastest way to repair the wounds and restore the Banshee's Gate. He turned his gaze to look at Lu Wu. It was evident that he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
"By the way, I have something here. Lu Wu lifted the suitcase he had brought over from the corner to the edge of the table. He opened the suitcase so that Redcoat could see the pile of things inside.
"What is this?"
"Condiments. Lu Wu said. There may be a lot of good things in this world, and it's very advanced, but apparently they haven't developed any advanced food culture, at least not in this place like Banshee's Gate. Of course, this is normal, food culture and technology are things that have no connection with each other, and this is the case on Earth.
Because of the Wanxing family, Lu Wu had already seen the normal local residents' diet before he left last time—in fact, from a Chinese point of view, lackluster. It must be said that the difference between wartime and peacetime is that in peacetime, people can spend a lot of money to buy fresh grains and vegetables, as well as frozen meats and the like, and eat them with those canned foods.
As mentioned earlier, in fact, the nutrition and compressed food industry in this world is developing very well. Lu Wu has been eating for so long, and his body has always been very healthy, and there has been no problem such as lack of vitamins. Not even the thrush he used to commit did not flare up. Aside from the disadvantage of being light and tasteless, this food can be said to be perfect. In fact, even being light and tasteless is not a disadvantage, because after eating it for a long time (for example, Lu Wu experienced it himself), he slowly got used to it.
So these grains, vegetables, and the like are not necessities in a sense, but a luxury—just to improve life and satisfy the appetite for enjoyment.
"Condiments?" Hongyi was a little confused. He tore open a paper bag, and an indescribably strong, salty scent rushed to his nostrils.
The first time she smelled it, it was too strong to bear, and Hongyi had to take the paper bag a little farther away. It wasn't until he settled down that he felt the smell...... This taste...... Very appetite stimulating.
Inside the bag is a light brown powder.
"This is ......" He looked at Lu Wu, encouraged by Lu Wu's smile, he dipped his finger in a little powder and slowly put it in his mouth.
It's hard to describe what it's like for a baby who has been nursing to eat carefully prepared food for the first time, but it's a game-changer. This seasoning package was specially customized by Lu Wu through Ren Jian's side - of course, in essence, it is no different from the seasoning package of instant noodles. It's nothing more than a combination of spices.
The red clothes held this position for a long time.
"This is the condiment?"
"This is it. Lu Wu admitted. This packet has little nutritional value, but it can make things even better.
"Exotic technology?" asked Redcoat. "I admit it...... It is probably more promising than those exotic military equipment. ”
Since he knew that Lu Wu was an outsider, the origin of the so-called weapons and equipment "invented" by Lu Wu, such as mines and mortars, could not be hidden. Red Yi didn't need to think about it to guess that it was a military technology from another world. But as Red Yi pointed out before, it's good to say that these equipment are used in small quantities and are unexpected. But if you really want to rely on them to defeat the enemy, then there is little hope. Moreover, it is not the ground forces, not even hoplites, that decide the outcome for this world, but warlocks and floating fortresses.
"You want to use it for ......," Red-Clad asked after a moment's thought. "What to do?"
"Didn't think of anything," Lu Wu replied. "But don't you think it can make a difference in the world for the better?"
Hongyi's expression froze for a moment, and a very rare smile appeared on his bitter face. "Heh, that's exactly what you would say!"
