Chapter 587: The sky is round and the earth is round
"Vostok is just an experimental airship, and a larger airship can be built, but it costs too many resources to be affordable. โ
Teacher Gruberu shook his head with a helpless wry smile, he is a teacher, he has the savings of the first half of his life in the army and many years of being a teacher, and he can only think about the creation of a 'Vostok', and the bigger airship can only be thought about.
Hearing this, Ruoye waved his hand disapprovingly, and said very boldly:
"Hey, what's so hard about that? I can support you in assembling a fleet of the Vostok for free, but how about you also help me research some warships or weapons?"
"Battleships and weapons?"
Gruberu frowned deeply when he heard this, he had been a great soldier, but it was because he was tired of fighting and killing that he left the army to become a teacher and do some research.
Wakaba knew about Gruberu's past, so he naturally understood his thoughts, smiled, and gave Gruberu a reassurance.
"I work part-time as a businessman from all walks of life, you know, where there are people, there must be wars, civil wars, invasions, enemies, etc., always need weapons, just by doing transportation in this world, the money you make is not enough for your old research. โ
"This..."
Gruberu groaned, he didn't like war, but he also knew best, just like Wakaba said, where there are people, there is fighting, when there are external enemies, there are intruders, and when there are no external enemies, there is internal fighting, this is the inferior nature of human beings, he is just a teacher who is tired of killing and wants to do research, and he really doesn't have so much energy and mind for compassion.
"Okay, but you have to grant me one request. โ
Wakaba smiled and nodded, and said:
"Understand, you don't sell any war weapons in this world, right?"
Gruberu nodded very seriously when he heard this.
Wakaba smiled and waved his hand:
"Well, then, it's getting late, and tomorrow it's a celebration, and we'll talk about the Vostok fleet back to Torlistania.
Bai Zhen, you will be with Miss Tiffania for the time being.
Rest early, Mr. Gruberu, Miss Tiffana. โ
Gruberu bowed slightly, and looked up at Wakaba Road who jumped onto the balcony:
"You too. โ
Tifania looked at Bai Zhen lying on her chest, and said to Wakaba with some restraint:
"Good night, Mr. Wakaba. โ

The celebration of the third anniversary of the Pope's accession to the throne is a very important event for the Holy Romanian Empire, all the shops in the empire will be closed, employees will be on vacation, except for special circumstances, everyone will go to visit the ceremony of the papal enthronement ceremony, including the octogenarian husband and the young son of the full age, for them who believe in the ancestors, the pope is the spokesman of the ancestors, and to see them in person is equivalent to the blessing from the ancestors.
However, most people watched from the window outside the main hall of the church, and they could sit in the main hall, only the princes and dignitaries of various countries, as well as the noble ladies who came with them, of course, Wakaba and Estes were also eligible to occupy a seat in it, and Louise arranged that as one of the nihilistic envoys invited by the Pope, Louise still had this right, but there were no waves.
This world is still too small, whether it is the land area or the number of people, even the papal celebration of the only empire on the continent seems very shabby, for the people of this world is very solemn and elegant and grand, but in Wakaba's opinion, it is equivalent to the level of a wedding banquet at marriage.
No, if you have more relatives and friends, the guests who are generally invited to the wedding banquet need to be divided into two groups.
Wakaba stared at the floor-to-ceiling colored windows behind the statue of the ancestor of the church, the sunlight shone in from the colored windows, and the projection in the air was colorful and gorgeous, with the style of the Renaissance of another world, Wakaba was thinking about why this world was ranked in the first-class world plane.
The power of magic Wakaba is not often used for attacking, but it has developed to the rectangular level, and it is used to destroy it is not inferior to missiles at all, and it is used to build many forging methods at the first level of steel and concrete in the cost-effective mountain and technology world, and the science and technology airship researched by Mr. Gruberu is the most typical example.
It is a dream to go to the sky on an airship powered by a steam engine in the pure technological world, which cannot be achieved by the bulky size of the steam engine, and the steam engine made by the alchemy of magic is even better than the internal combustion engine of the technological world.
Magic from the military to the people's livelihood, can be said to crush technology, why is the hierarchy of this world at the lowest end?
The spread of magic is not wide, and it is not a power that everyone can use, and the development is also inclined to war, but except for the amazing and glamorous, the attack method of magic has always been the same, but this does not matter, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get weapons that exceed the level of firearms in the world of technology.
Of course, in the Celestial Empire of weapons control, it is an exception, not to mention real firearms, unlicensed collection of blades, imitation guns using BB bullets, crossbow weapons are all illegal...
In short, the degree of development of magic is not the key to really restricting the level of this world from being improved, the key lies in the world itself.
This world is square!
That's right, it's the legendary 'round sky' square... Wakaba thinks he is well-informed, and this is the first time he has seen a real square world, and Wakaba suspects that Estes's world is actually square.
Wakaba has seen the map of this world, and has also been to the edge of the world 'Albion' to see, 'Albion' is a country established on a floating island and has no quarrel with the world, wandering outside the continent, thinking carefully, Wakaba was surprised to find that between the bottom of 'Albion' and the continent is not the sea, but the damn white fog, the white fog that has nothing!
The size of the whole world, converted by area, is about the size of a Europe!
Wakaba finally came to the conclusion that the world itself is problematic!
The reason why it is a problem, not a defect, is that Wakaba himself is not sure whether the world of the 'round sky' is a defect compared to the spherical world.
However, the problem of studying the world is still too far away for Wakaba, and even Haruhi Suzumiya, the realm lord who is a halfway monk, is half-ignorant of many aspects, and acts more with innate instincts.
Wakaba's current plan is to establish an airship company in this world, and then use the research results of Mr. Gruberu to develop more technological innovations that are different from the technological world, similar to the 'Vostok', or further integration of technology and magic, and then use this world as his own industrial backing.
After all, it's really boring to be a second-class dealer, not to mention anything else, there are many battleships in World War II that are not available in the world, and now, giant ships and cannons are not dreams, but real aviation warships!10
