532 expensive buying and selling
Seris's stunningly spacious huge meeting room, with a palatial dΓ©cor at the center is a huge long table.
Even though this long table is so huge that it is rare in the world, it is still difficult to sit on this table.
Anyone who can speak at this table is an important person who can control the world, and on the outside, they are all three points more powerful than the emperors of other empires.
With the report in his hand, the Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Luo Kai, reported to His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting in the first place, on the recent progress of the military operation: "Yesterday, the paratroopers took control of the capital of the Kasik Empire, and the armored forces broke through the front line of defense of the opposing side, connecting the paratroopers with the rear, and then the Kasik Empire officially surrendered. β
Recently, the military operation of Irlanhill has been very smooth, and the demon forces have suffered heavy losses on the frontal battlefield, and they have almost been surrounded in the Southern Kingdom.
According to the internal saying of the army, it is only a matter of time before the demon forces in the southern region of the empire are annihilated.
Similarly, with the demise of Tel Wishish, the puppet empire and the Kasic empire chose to surrender almost simultaneously. In this way, the war of Iran Hill's foreign expansion has almost temporarily stopped.
Now Iran Hill is already a super empire across the continent. It includes a large part of the Puppet Empire, the southern part of the Eternal Empire, part of the Norma Empire, the original Holy Demon Empire, the original Kasik Empire, plus the entire Forbidden Demon Realm five years ago, all the mortal country regions.
For such a huge super empire that has never been seen before, the war of annihilation a few years ago was just a local war on a slightly larger scale.
Chris nodded slightly when he heard the news that the Kasik Empire had surrendered. Now only the demons in the Southern Kingdom are still resisting, and all he has to do is to wait for a while, when his troops completely wipe out the remnants of Saluks' troops.
On the other side, Dean continued to report: "The defected Frenzberg is already on his way to Seris, and the forces are ready to meet along the way, so there should be no mistakes. β
At the mention of this damned traitor, many people had a look of disdain on their faces. This magician, who once rebelled from the Holy Demon Empire to the Irlanhill Empire, if he had used his ingenuity in Irranhill with peace of mind, might now be sitting at this huge table, holding a huge power that people can't even imagine. It's a pity that he made a wrong step, and now he has become a prisoner, and his future fate is even more unpredictable.
Chris's fingers tapped on the armrest of his chair, and he was also thinking about what to do with Frentzberg.
If the normal procedure is followed, this damned traitor will be hanged to make an example. But just now, knowing the news of Frenzberg's capture, Wilhelm called and begged Chris to let Frenzberg live.
In the past two years, William, as the backbone of the empire's magic technology research, has solved many magical technology problems for the empire, and his identity has also risen, making Chris very important.
Instead of looking at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, Chris felt that he should be extrajudicial and give William a favor, so that this magician, who was loyal to Iran Hill, continued to work for Iran Hill in his post.
appease the meritorious and deal with the despicable traitors...... Chris also found it difficult to deal with both of these things, and he decided to wait for Frentzberg to be escorted to Seris, and then make a trade-off.
"The design of the fourth-generation computer chip has been completed, and the nanoprocess has now begun to mature...... "The technical aspects of the project were reported by the new Minister of Technology, Denorsky. The middle-aged man was a very old technologist who served as president of the Royal Academy of Sciences for a year.
He wore a pair of thick glasses, as if the bottoms of two beer bottles were hanging in front of him.
This made him look a little scruffy and his hair was unkempt and unkempt. However, his white coat was spotless, and it was evident that he had meticulous and delicate requirements for his work.
"With the blessing of air cooling magic, the heat dissipation of the chip is very smooth, the power can be increased, and the computing speed can be further improved." He was the head of technology, and his major was not computer science, so he looked at the information in front of him while reporting, and spoke a little slowly.
Still, even though he said it slowly, it still made Chris feel good. He was very satisfied with the research on computers, and the progress was fast and the results were so much that there were too many places where computers were needed for the future of Iran Hill.
"The performance of the all-robot production line has exceeded expectations, and we have popularized a considerable number of robots in aircraft manufacturing, as well as automobile manufacturing and other projects, and the effect is very good, saving a lot of manpower and material resources." With the computer finished, the Denorski went on to talk about the progress in robotics.
As for the research on robots, Iran Hill has never stopped. The Royal Academy of Sciences invests a lot of money every year to make robotics mature as soon as possible.
In this world, there are reliable magic joints and smaller powertrains, which are the core and key to the study of robot technology, and the development of robots will be faster.
However, the rapid development of the robot's hardware has led to the fact that the software cannot keep up with the requirements. After all, the puppet technology has basically been perfected, but the robot control technology and microcomputer chip technology are far from meeting the requirements of use.
"The experiment of adding a behavior control chip to the puppet robot is underway, and the relevant results have been recorded, if successful, then we will be able to achieve mass production of the puppet robot, so that the robot can become a powerful assistant to humans." After Denorski finished speaking, he looked at Chris in the first place.
"Won't you be controlled by the source of magic?" Chris asked the question that was most of his concern.
"In the current experiment, there is still a phenomenon of being controlled, so we are still testing the control chip, but compared to human thinking, today's computer processors are still too simple." Denorski replied matter-of-factly.
"In other words, the puppet is still unsafe?" Chris continued to ask.
"Yes, it's still very unsafe." Denorski nodded.
"Then postpone production, and don't be in a hurry for the time being." Chris gave the order: "Make sure nothing goes wrong." β
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Denorski nodded slightly, and then handed over the voice to Steed.
"Negotiations with the elves are ongoing, and according to the bilateral trade agreement, the second batch of elven magicians they have provided has arrived in Iran Hill." Sterred began to report on the recent work of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
It wasn't once or twice that he had participated in this kind of Supreme Council of the Empire, and he was not nervous at all, and he was not in a hurry to talk about what he wanted to report.
"If I'm not mistaken, according to the agreement, the people-to-people cooperation between the two sides has already begun?" Chris asked, recalling.
"Yes, Your Majesty. According to the agreement, Iran Hill will allow humans to hire elves to serve, and the two parties will sign a contract or contract in the spirit of not insulting each other's personality. Sterred nodded: "Within three days at the latest, there will be a rich human with a magical guard of the elves, and if you are rich enough, you can even find a wife of the elves." β
"Wife? Isn't this a human trafficking? Chris asked, incredulous.
"There's no way, the elves are not against this kind of deal...... Moreover, they seem to be more interested in this kind of transaction. Stred said helplessly: "According to their asking price, marrying a beautiful woman of the elf clan is not cheap." β
"......" Chris looked at Stryed speechlessly, shocked by Stryd's answer.
If you can ask a super-rich man like the Imperial Foreign Minister, who owns many corporate dividends and has a lot of money, to say that the price is not cheap, it is conceivable that the price is almost heavenly.
In fact, it is indeed expensive, and Stered then added: "According to the asking price of the elves, if you want to have an elven beauty, the cost is almost enough to launch a space station." β
"Poof......" Deans was drinking tea, and when he heard this description, he almost sprayed the tea in his mouth on the face of Admiral Bakarov, who was sitting opposite.
Marrying a woman is so expensive that it is the same level as launching a space station, which can really be described as not cheap.
"Huh." Several generals of the military grinned when they heard this offer. This group of people are all temperamental, and it is not uncommon for the army to talk about two meat jokes, and now when I hear such an interesting thing, I am naturally a hundred times more energetic.
"Actually, at the moment, it's actually quite a good business." Steed shrugged his shoulders, looked at the military generals who couldn't help laughing, and said, "As far as I know, there are already 7 rich people in the country who have paid deposits. β
"There are a lot of rich people." Chris smiled, feeling that it was a waste of resources to bring such a thing as buying a daughter-in-law to the highest council of the empire, so he asked, "The elves are still making requests for the moon?" β
"Yes, Your Majesty, they are still tirelessly asking for this, but I have refused." Stred replied.
Chris nodded with satisfaction and continued: "You should also pay attention to the matter of receiving the new puppet empire visiting group, those are new allies after all, and it is still necessary to give some appropriate care." β
"Yes! Your Majesty! I'll give the new puppet empire some trade concessions according to the criteria of a Category C ally. Breed immediately said the plan: "Don't worry, Your Majesty." β

The second one is likely to be late, so let's see it tomorrow morning.
