Chapter 164: Mouth Cannon Skills Are Indispensable

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

There is a saying in the old world: good things don't go out, bad things go a thousand miles. All news involving negative news about big people will always be interesting, and it can't be covered up no matter how much they can't be covered, and gossip spreads far and wide, counting on buttoning the lid to maintain a stable social order, and this kind of behavior can only be attributed to being stupid and naïve.

It's a bit of a lot of gossip, to put it simply, Luo Zhengdao got into a big trouble with Bane, and the trouble is not trivial. Bad news that his lord, Will Needham, Earl of Frloe, had been declared a heretic by an oracle from Bane, the god of war and conquest, and that a call for holy war had been issued on Wake Reef. When Luo Zhengdao received a somewhat angry verbal report from his subordinates, and after a short silence, he announced that he would give a speech this afternoon.

Due to the harsh environment, Luo Zhengdao can only explain the recent changes to the residents of the island through the amplification function provided by the Guò Master Tower.

"Good afternoon, everyone, I am Earl Will Needham, some of you have seen me and some of you have not, and that is not a problem, and I would like to sit down with you as friends. Yes, as you have heard, it is not a rumor that I have been declared a heretic by the god whom the goblins worship, and that his followers will attack me at any moment. I didn't inform you of this news before today because I haven't figured out what to say, so please allow me to explain it now. ”

After the brief opening remarks, Luo Zhengdao, who was standing in front of the amplified array, continued to speak according to the script, holding several revisions of the speech:

"I believe everyone knows that most goblins believe in that god, and our human faith is not so single, if he wants to bless the believers, it must be for the goblins, not for us. Whatever the reason for which His Highness condemns me, He is always on the side of our enemies, and you have a choice, whether you want to fight as a free man or live in humiliation as those green-skinned slaves. You are part of the human race as much as I am, so I can say that if the gods want to destroy me, then I would rather fight him to the end. I can be knocked down and killed, I won't be scared into surrendering on my knees by a warning, what about the gods, I'm a warrior, I can fight the gods! ”

Luo Zhengdao's four years of college were not in vain, as a transfer college student, he is a graduate of political science who became a monk halfway, and he has a little experience in figuring out and grasping people's hearts.

It is estimated that anyone who has seen the animal world understands that it is the nature of a social animal to obey the leadership of the strong, and it cannot learn to survive in a group, and a weak species will soon go to the point of no return to genocide in the hunting of various natural enemies.

There are too many intelligent races in the new world, and in terms of longevity alone, human beings can't catch up with mesozoic species like Yaling and elves, and they can't compare with the immortal species of the dragon race, which often have to live for a thousand years before they can be considered adults. If you want to talk about force, human beings are also at the bottom level of the intelligent race, and they are barely passable in terms of wisdom, and they really can't find any advantages.

The commendable reproductive ability of this species is not as good as that of cockroaches and mice, and it is much worse than the average goblin can give birth to three or four children in a litter, but with this kind of racial talent, human beings have to deal with the endless various existential crises in the new world, and ordinary people who lack strength will definitely not survive if they come out single-handedly. As a result, ordinary humans can only choose to rely on the aristocracy, who are better educated, have more resources to call on, and are far more resilient to external risks and threats than ordinary people. As a result, human commoners gathered around the aristocracy, even if they would be oppressed and exploited, at least enjoy the basic right to survive, which also formed the basic element of the hierarchical society of human dynasties.

"Hooray! Banzai! Banzai! ”

Even if he was inside the mage tower, the cheers that suddenly sounded from outside were deafening, which really made Luo Zhengdao feel stunned, he looked at the two mage advisors in embarrassment, and then touched his head, and complained in a depressed voice:

“…… What kind of fuss are you guys doing? That's it? ”

After Luo Zhengdao's passionate speech with "unclear and powerful" content, the human immigrants on Wake Reef seemed to be really moved by him, which is not incomprehensible considering the high illiteracy rate in this era and the lack of rich experience of the people who have been fooled and lame. Tong Guò's successful crisis public relations methods, the crisis of trust that lasted for a period of time was carried by Luo Zhengdao and coaxed him, and he breathed a sigh of relief and also developed a strong hostility towards Bane. You're a god and a lot of fart! Isn't Aragami more qualified than you juniors? Didn't they also kneel in front of the magician?

This magic card master is a little rookie, and his level is also a little low, so it doesn't mean that Luo Zhengdao is easy to bully! Anyway, he kept this bad debt in his heart, and only waited for the opportunity in the future, and then slowly settled it with Bane.

Calming down the crisis situation is not the same as passing the test, Luo Zhengdao guessed with his ass that in the short term, the military aid of the Yaling Empire is no longer to be counted on, and it is on the cusp of the storm, not a special situation of last resort, and the Yaling people no longer like Ban N and will not risk offending a god to commit a crime against the wind. Of course, it is another thing for them to disobey in private, these factors show that at present, Luo Zhengdao wants to strengthen the military to deal with the holy war that the goblins will inevitably start, and he can only rely on himself to find a way to solve the difficulty, and there is no room for external forces.

The recent expansion of the army to gain a quantitative advantage has become a cake, so what about relying on the quality advantage? After this thought flashed in his mind, Luo Zhengdao quickly locked himself in the study and began to meditate, except for three meals a day, he never left this treasure land, as if he had become a senior otaku overnight.

Plagiarizing the successful model of the old world, this is a survival skill that Luo Zhengdao can practice to make perfect, and he has another article if he doesn't come out in the study. Five days later, the red-eyed Luo Zhengdao took a drawing and found the one-eyed dragon Faure Chopin, who was now in charge of civil affairs on Wick Reef, and of course, he was also in charge of the public accounts. After thousands of years of accumulation of traditions in human dynasties, the human aristocracy of the New World has developed a good financial management habit of distinguishing between public and private, and they at least know that personal property and territorial finance cannot be mixed, otherwise it is easy to get to the point of financial collapse.

"Your Excellency, did you draw this drawing?"

That's right, in the text notes of this drawing presented by Luo Zhengdao, the three basic requirements for this revolutionary warship are written crookedly with letters, shoot explosive ammunition; clad in metal armor; Hybrid power is adopted.

Explosive bombs are not a new thing, the craftsmen of the New World have long known it, and the reason why the navies of most countries know that explosive bombs are far more powerful than solid bombs, but they don't use this thing, is simply because they are afraid that their own ships will be sunk before the guns are discharged. In this regard, the bad reputation of the explosive bomb is mainly due to frequent premature detonation and bore accidents, and it has a perverted reputation similar to that of the powerful decisive weapon of the old world, the nine-three acid torpedo, and it is said that the number of people killed by it is equal to the number of enemies killed, and normal people will stay away from this weapon.

Covering metal armor is not high-tech, and the high-class sail battleships of the New World will have a thick copper bottom covered, and more extravagant designers will also require white iron to cover the sides of the ship.

Judging from the armor parts marked on the drawings, it is nothing more than expanding the scope of metal coverage to the whole ship and part of the hull superstructure, but the hybrid one makes Faul Chopin scratch his head, is it to add several rows of oars to the battleship? That's a terrible idea, isn't it?

Luo Zhengdao looked at Faure Chopin's expression of swallowing flies raw, he smiled and said:

"That's right, what's wrong with you?"

Trying to control himself not to slap the table and reprimand Luo Zhengdao's idea of how loser, Old Fuer was silent for a while, he raised his eyes to look at Luo Zhengdao, and said in a sincere tone:

"Your Excellency, have you calculated how much it will cost you to build this ship?"

Money is not a problem, no money is a big problem, at this moment Luo Zhengdao had a calm posture, and said with his head held high:

"The budget cost is in the range of 25 to 300,000 gold coins, if the price fluctuates, it's hard to say, anyway, it's not too much!"

Having already said this, Faul Chopin could no longer hold back, he propped his hands on the desk, and said sharply:

"My lord, do you know how many battleships you can build with this money?"

"Well, if I think about it, a fifth-tier battleship like the Avenger can probably build three or four, right?"

Seeing that Luo Zhengdao's thinking was clear, not like he was crazy because of too much mental pressure, Old Fuer, who was out of breath, looked at him suspiciously, and said:

"If that's the case, then why did you build this new ship?"

Hearing this, he expected that his new design would attract opposition, and Luo Zhengdao, who had a bright smile on his face, showed his eight teeth and said:

"The goblins will surely come to us for trouble, and now we are not short of money, but of skilled sailors and sailors. This budget is used to build traditional battleships, and the crew of them needs more than 5,000 people, what is our population? Expansion is an unrealistic idea, you better take a look at my drawings! ”

As he spoke, Luo Zhengdao stretched out his hand and spread out the parchment design on the desk, and with the few rays of sunlight from the skylight, Faure Chopin could clearly distinguish what was unusual about the battleship that stayed on the paper.
