Chapter 422: The Threat of Imbalance in the World
The Royal Navy of Yaling is in a tangled state of mind about its human allies, who are rushing to upgrade their naval technology, which is really not something that can be explained in a sentence or two.
The white demonic cloth sails and the oak hull as solid as the city walls can allow Yaling to rule the Seven Seas for another 10,000 years, and such a bold statement actually came from the Yaling Admiralty, and it can also be seen what kind of attitude those old antiques have towards this wave of technological innovation set off by Luo Zhengdao.
Needless to say, the Yaling Empire, as the biggest beneficiary of the current naval system and the overlord of the sea, is in a disadvantageous position in this dizzying wave of technological innovation. From ironclad ships to steelclad ships, to terrifying steel giants like the Titan, every new achievement made by Luo Zhengdao is ruthlessly shaking the cornerstone of Yaling's sea power. Although he was an ally and recipient of aid to the Yaling Empire, he did not reject the diffusion of new technologies, but it was still a long-term plan for the insightful men of the Yaling Navy to succeed in convincing the old-fashioned admirals who were full of classical naval tactics and glorious history to accept new things that they were completely unfamiliar with, and to abandon their proud sail warships and go to a new course of development.
During the conversation, Luo Zhengdao, who had a smile on his face, had already guessed that Yaling's old antiques could not keep up with the technological changes he was fiercely promoting, so he generously allowed Yaling to contact some new technologies.
Burdened by the burden of history, in terms of learning new content, the efficiency of the Yaling Empire lags behind that of the Elven Federation, and it can't even catch up with the goblin navy that has just started on a blank sheet of paper.
After being held to the ground by Luo Zhengdao and beaten in a trick way, the Second Goblin Empire finally learned from the pain, and they also found their own naval path, that is, to keep an eye on Will Needham's movements, see what others start to do, and the goblins will follow behind. Such as ironclad ships and aircraft carriers, goblins are all painted in this way, although there is a high chance of being taken to the ditch by the leader, but the goblins are learning the real skills. The goblin navy, which has no historical burden at the ideological level, does not feel that it is a faceless thing to do so, and for the goblins who believe in pragmatism, it is really faceless to lose to the enemy.
The military advisors of Yaling are not arrogant and incompetent, as a mesozoic Yaling, they naturally live much longer than humans, and they have enough time to learn and practice. Even if you are a loser who doesn't know how to learn at the beginning, when you have had enough of playing and start to study, specialize in a certain field and become a professional, this is much less difficult than that of human beings.
At this time, seeing that Luo Zhengdao seemed to have a deep meaning, the military adviser led by him asked tentatively:
"Is His Majesty the King interested in introducing our country's enchanted array?"
The Yaling Empire, which dominates the Seven Seas, has accumulated tens of thousands of years in magical civilization, has abundant capital, and its consistent excellence in the level of magic array is the best in the new world, and it can almost be called an art.
To say that Luo Zhengdao is a proper person who has never cared about the good things in other people's homes, saying this is roughly the same as a man claiming to be lascivious, either he is disgusting hypocrisy, or he is simply a. But he also knows a simple truth, everything fails by chance, and success is never a fluke. Yaling can develop a unique system with a magic array, this is not a gift from God, there is a whole system behind it to provide a technical platform and a steady stream of follow-up support, just dig a few technicians and mages can copycat, you think things are too simple.
Not to mention anything else, just look at the top local tyrants of the Elven Federation who spend a lot of money and would rather take the risk of going the wrong way and follow the trend to imitate the pirate ironclad ship, instead of bothering to ponder the magic array of the copycat Yaling, then you should understand that this is not a suitable learning object for reference, and there are not too many examples of painting tigers and not anti-dogs in this world.
Engraving the magic array on the battleship is a systematic project, and it is not a matter of finding someone to chisel a few magic symbols on the ship's board, but it is necessary to comprehensively consider many aspects such as the ship's structure and performance requirements before it can be started, and it takes more time in the preparation stage than actually doing it.
The construction proposed by Yaling military adviser to Luo Zhengdao in person seems to be a good idea, but in his bones, he still hopes to make the Titan, the number one giant ship in the New World with unprecedented tonnage, clear. For example, the repairman who repairs an electrical appliance must know how the appliance works and how the parts should be assembled. If you agree to the request to attach a magic array, it is equivalent to opening the door of your house to let others in and out, then you don't want to keep any secret.
At this time, guessing that the other party's drunkard did not mean to drink, Luo Zhengdao did not have any anger on his face, and replied with a smile:
"I appreciate your country's enchanted magic array, the purchase price is too high, and a poor person like me can't afford it!"
The Yalings were obviously not going to give up because of his words, and the military advisor added:
"The Empire is also generous to its friends, and as long as His Majesty the King wishes to do so, the Empire will do its best to support it."
This sounds for your good, Luo Zhengdao is not the kind of person who likes to give priceless treasures to friends for free to show the magnanimity of a great country, and knows that Yaling is pondering his own new technology. As the so-called brothers settle accounts, no matter how close the relationship between the Yaling Empire and him is, everyone has to settle the accounts clearly before talking about cooperation. As soon as you say it, you want to take away the core secrets, are you Lao Tzu the idiot bureaucrats who are not afraid of thunder and thunder in the sky, and are not afraid of boiling public resentment, but are only afraid of the surprise of friendly people?
Luo Zhengdao, who had made up his mind in his heart, did not change his smile, and replied in a calm tone:
"Hahahaha, thanks, I see."
The facts are obvious, the time-traveler has a great psychological advantage over the natives, and no matter how much you know, I definitely know more secrets than you do. Ignorant natives VS omniscient traversers, on the premise that both sides do not open plug-ins, from a psychological point of view, the traverser must have an advantage. Although the Yaling Empire cannot be treated as an ordinary native, how can Luo Zhengdao, who has inherited the power of the Demon Card Master, be comparable to ordinary traversers? So the problem came full circle and came back to the beginning. Trying to suppress Luo Zhengdao, Yaling still has to come up with some dry goods to hope for success, hoping that a few words of New Year's greetings can take away the technology he has worked so hard to develop, this wishful thinking is better to put it away as soon as possible.
Money, population, factories, and resources have to be supported by one person in this ruined country, and it is difficult to cope with various forms of challenges and difficulties, and it is not often necessary to tear down the east wall and replace the west wall. Luo Zhengdao lacks everything, but the most lacking thing is time, as long as the Aragami curses not to kill him too early, delaying time is the most favorable external condition for the traverser.
In the initial stage, the basic conditions are greatly behind the main competitor goblins, and there is no comparison with the great power-level financiers, Luo Zhengdao focuses on climbing the technology tree, the fastest upgrade speed, and the efficiency of transforming new technologies into productivity is also extremely amazing, who dares to guarantee that he knows what the human kingdom will be like in ten or twenty years, it must be shameless to blow Niu 13 into the sky.
As the commander of the Navy, Brando Scarlet Yan naturally attended the launching ceremony of the Titan, watching Luo Zhengdao and Yaling Advisor negotiate with each other, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one left and right, he lowered his voice and said:
"Your Majesty, if you delay Yaling like this, there will be a situation after a long time!"
Born in an old world in a once-sunken old empire, Luo Zhengdao knew very well how much courage and strength it would take to tear down all the glory of the old days and start over, so he waved his hand disapprenosingly and said:
"Hehe, I haven't seen the real combat power of the Titan, Yaling won't put too much pressure on us, don't worry."
Due to the special navigation environment of the New World Aetheric Sea, the Titan still retains a large number of sea driftwood structures to maintain the necessary buoyancy for navigation, and this part of the flammable material is carefully placed by Luo Zhengdao under heavy armor protection. Therefore, the ship is still not an all-metal battleship, and special treatment for fire protection is one of the most important sub-projects during outfitting.
Seven single-barreled turrets along the central axis of the battleship's massive hull make visitors feel refreshed, and in the New World shipbuilding industry, where sail power is still the protagonist, the Titan has an unusual appearance with both a steam engine and a rocket engine. At the same time, it has many of the above-mentioned characteristics, and although the technological innovation that has made a great leap forward is an initiative, it has also made those who are relatively conservative in their views suspicious, advanced weapons are not necessarily good weapons, and it has never been news that new equipment has dropped its chain on the verge of battle!
Practice and time are the stage to test whether creativity is reliable, and only after the test of the battlefield filled with blood and gunpowder can we prove whether a new weapon that has turned its back on tradition is a genius creation, or a crazy idea from the brain of a hare
Tree Diagram...... Inner Order...... Law Reconstruction ......"
Suddenly woke up from his sleep, Luo Zhengdao in the palace bedroom was already sweating, he sat up and gasped alone, and kept repeating those strange pictures and messages that vaguely appeared in his mind, this is not a dream!
The fall of the main continent is extremely strange in Luo Zhengdao's opinion, not that the fall itself is illogical, but that the time point in which it happened is too suspicious, why did the fall of the main continent not come sooner or later, it happened not long after he crossed over to the new world? You say it's pure coincidence? Luo Zhengdao won't believe this kind of nonsense! In his opinion, there must be some kind of internal connection between the fall of the main continent and his crossing, and the only thing that cannot be known is who is behind the manipulation of this qiē.
Although in front of others, Luo Zhengdao couldn't say a word, as if he would only scream and accept the test of cruel reality like the general public. Behind the scenes, he didn't put a lot of effort into research, Luo Zhengdao, the ability of the magic card master to intercept the law, had not yet mastered it, and he could still use the ability to use the law.
