Outlaws and poor eggs are naturally not a rarity in the new world, and in poor places where they dare to kill people in the street with weapons for a gold coin, the number of outlaws who earn money and don't want to die should not be too large.

It's just that the devil's vision is really not low, and he doesn't want rookie cannon fodder at all, at least they don't want it now, and the mercenaries provided to hell must be qualified soldiers who can fight when they come. In other words, even if the devil is looking for purebred cannon fodder to pad his back, he must have the value of consuming the demon's firepower and physical strength! It's a bit of nonsense to really get a bunch of head-giving waste.

Considering that hell has a limited time window for himself to recruit troops, Luo Zhengdao, who is short of time and has a heavy task, has to do his best, while releasing news to recruit manpower, he will test the mercenaries who come to sign up in batches, and the qualified candidates will be directly compiled into the roster, and those who are unqualified should be treated differently. It's really not good for physical condition, so I have to send them away, if it's the kind of rookie who is still in good health but not good at combat, he has to work hard to sharpen his gun. Luo Zhengdao used the ready-made training facilities in Qiongzhou to stuff these uneven mercenaries into it, and built them into qualified cannon fodder through short-term intensive training.

Following Luo Zhengdao to inspect the latest results of the Qiongzhou training camp, the Hell Messenger said that he was basically satisfied with the receipt of the goods, and later took out a stack of parchment from the space ring and said:

"As part of the deal, hopefully these leads will bring you good luck."

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao smiled heartily and said:

"Now I do need some luck to help."

Searching for the whereabouts of the seven overlord's certificates in the vast seven seas is never easy, and there is no shortage of heroes or heroes in history who confidently claim that they will collect the seven overlord certificates, and their journeys eventually end in different forms of failure. It took tens of thousands of years to produce such a few lucky people with both strength and luck, and it took about 10,000 years to emerge as one.

This has nothing to do with hard work or not, it purely depends on how the unknowable fate is arranged, not that if you are willing to work hard, you will definitely be able to achieve your wishes, the hope is too slim.

Luo Zhengdao, who received the goods, did not immediately send someone to search for the evidence of the overlord, and in the internal discussion meeting, his expression was a lot more relaxed, and said:

"The expedition is going to be as organized as possible, and now I have more important business to deal with, Zola will go with me to Wake Reef, and the others will stay behind."

Brando Scarlet, who is in charge of the daily affairs of the navy, hurriedly reminded:

"Your Majesty, you need to bring more guards!"

The experience of anti-tracking and escape is so rich that Luo Zhengdao would make such a low-level mistake, he smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Don't worry about my safety, I'm not going to give the enemy a call, but I need to make a trip to Wake Reef before I leave this time."

Before leaving, Luo Zhengdao and his party went to Wake Reef, and Luo Zhengdao, who had made such arrangements, had two important matters to deal with: one was to visit Vina Dubov, who was in labor, and he should be present no matter what reason, and second, Faul Chopin sent news the day before yesterday that Project No. 1 had entered the test stage, and asked Luo Zhengdao how to deal with it, both of which were important factors that prompted him to decide to return to Wake Reef in the near future.

"Your Majesty, where are you going first?"

Got off the boat at the dock that was like an oven in the blazing sun, stepped on the stone paved road, and experienced the long-lost taste of high temperature roasting, when he heard the question of his entourage, Luo Zhengdao turned his head to look at the Wake Reef port area under the scorching sun, and said:

"Well, let's go to Vina's residence first, and then come back to the shipyard."

"Yes, His Majesty."

The stone corridor connecting the port of Wick Reef to the inland settlements has been expanded several times and has now been turned into a two-way, four-lane highway, and in order to avoid the invasion of the port area, this fast passage was used by enemy forces, and Faure Chopin asked Luo Zhengdao to add a suspension bridge and a complex self-destruct mechanism in the middle of the corridor. The four-wheeled carriage that Luo Zhengdao rode in ran through the tracked corridor, moving smoothly and quickly, and only the crisp sound of horses' hooves bouncing off the stone walls on both sides could be heard in his ears, and it only took ten minutes to reach the inland settlement.

It is always a happy scene to reunite after a long absence, especially when Luo Zhengdao handed the half-elf beauty the apple that he peeled with his own hands, Vina Dubov looked at him with a sweet taste in his eyes, and Luo Zhengdao, who felt that he had not done well enough, explained with some embarrassment:

"Vina, how are you doing? I'm sorry I didn't make it sooner. ”

Vina Dubov, who was particularly fragile during pregnancy, burst into tears when she heard this, and said:

"Will, I'm glad you're here."

Helping her sit back on the sofa, Luo Zhengdao sighed and said:

"I'm going to be on Wake Reef for a few days, maybe just in time for the baby to be born."

Hearing this, the overjoyed Vina suddenly frowned, and then said softly:

"Well, I hope so...... Ouch! The kid kicked me. ”

Luo Zhengdao looked at his wife's bulging abdomen with mixed feelings, and said:

"Is it a boy?"

The half-elf beauty did not shy away from talking about this topic, she said with a smile:

"No, the pastor told me that I was a healthy daughter."

Whether it is a son or a daughter, Luo Zhengdao's heart has mixed feelings about the fact that his first child is about to be born, and after a long time, he said slowly:

"It's not a lucky thing to be born in these turbulent times, and it's doubly unfortunate to have a father like me."

The reason why he said such a thing was not that Luo Zhengdao was too hypocritical, but it was really a heartfelt statement, but there were definitely not many people who could understand it.

The fall of the main continent is a great change that has not been seen in tens of thousands of years, and Luo Zhengdao, a traverser and magic card master, is an important person on the cusp, if the enemy is determined to eradicate him, will he still let his heirs go? It must be known that there are many ways to resurrect the descendants of their own bloodline in the new world, so similar to the conflict between gods, the victorious side must kill all the hidden dangers, and when it moves, it must even kill the descendants of the opponent, and it should be said that it is too naïve to have such an idea in this environment to hope that future generations will not be implicated.

Vina Dubov obviously saw through the stakes of Cheng Po, she smiled, didn't take Luo Zhengdao's emotion to heart, gently held his hand and said:

"What about you? How is everything? ”

"Well, I was about to set off to find the next proof of the overlord, the devil has provided some clues, and I'm ready to try my luck."

"Be careful."

Looking at Vina Dubov, who seemed to have an early awakening, Luo Zhengdao couldn't help but feel that he was too hypocritical, this kind of chaotic situation in the world is not the status quo that he can change, since this is the case, then he must have the necessary awareness in the face of any hardships and hardships, it seems that he needs to strengthen his beliefs!

After clarifying his future, Luo Zhengdao finally showed a smile and said:

"I'm going to go out later, and I'll be back for dinner."

"I'll wait for you to come back."

On the way to the research institute, Luo Zhengdao, who was sitting in the carriage, continued to think about the future path of life, the so-called No. 1 project is one of the code names of a series of top-secret research projects, this is by no means someone who has watched too many domestic spy war dramas and awakened some strange hobbies and orientations overnight. It's not easy to keep secrets in the new world, and there are too many ways to get a glimpse of other people's secrets, so you have to guard against it! For the sake of security, encrypting language in conversation is only one of the easiest ways to do it, and the less people know about it, the more difficult it is to leak it.

The first industrial revolution in the old world relied on the steam engine, replacing the manpower, animal power, water power, and wind-driven machinery that was not enough to last and stabilize in the past, and in the second industrial revolution, the main driving force was the popularization of electric machinery, so that the main power source and mechanical equipment were separated, and the factory no longer needed to bring its own bulky steam engine and a large amount of coal, which not only saved land resources but also reduced energy consumption. If the third industrial revolution does come as expected, it should be the massive energy provided by controlled nuclear fusion to save the people of the earth who are stuck in the bottleneck of development from the nightmare of fossil energy depletion. In fact, the previous scene, of course, was still a classic plot that was enthusiastically described in science fiction novels before Luo Zhengdao crossed over.

The topic is a bit far away, to put it simply, the No. 1 project of Wake Reef is the secret code name for the development of power machinery, with the current level of technology in the new world, it may be difficult to develop internal combustion engines, and can only start from the low end of the technology tree to climb up, and carry out technology accumulation, the first step can only be the development of steam engines.

That's right, Luo Zhengdao is eager to make a straight line leap, immediately make an electric motor, and install a few electromagnetic cannons on the ironclad ship, and live a happy life like a bald eagle where the world hegemon seeks defeat alone, and goes out for a walk all day long to see who destroys whom. It's a pity that whether it's an electric motor or an electromagnetic gun, if you want to say that those parts can be processed, it all has to be done by hand by arcane and alchemists, regardless of the long research and development cycle and economic costs, the high processing cost alone can scare a bunch of actuaries to death. For the sake of his wallet and physical and mental health, after a while of lewdness, Luo Zhengdao put these unreliable plans behind him.

No matter when, work and do things step by step is the most down-to-earth, climb the technology tree and avoid opportunistic shortcuts, vainly trying to copy the shortcut idiot ideas, the final outcome often proves that the trickster chose to embark on the farthest distance, the most bumpy process of the tortuous road.

Although the principles and techniques of building a steam engine seem quite simple, it is not easy to meet all the conditions for building it, especially when the promoter himself is a layman, and it is normal to make frequent troubles.

Luo Zhengdao is a fan of the home-oriented army, but instead of pushing the temples, he can write "A Quick Guide for Terrorists", "Homemade Roadside Bomb D.I.Y", "Teach you how to build an atom by hand. bomb", or "teach you how to buy components from the supermarket to save a cruise missile" and other high-end tutorial posts of the hardcore arms technology nerd! For some non-part requirements, he could only shout bitterly, "The concubine really can't do it!" ”
