"Your Excellency, Lord Theseus has arrived at the Puron King's City."

"Oh? Take him straight to the Weapons Development Department of Iron Tools, and I'll be there. ”

The guards outside the door said yes and turned to leave.

Ni was alone in the room, his face a little cloudy, as if he was distressed by something. The man Hugh Peggy was one of the outcasts who joined the city at the same time as the second group of Pullons. However, Hughes was not an ordinary outcast, and his manners were praised by the king as a rare and elegant man on this island, and it was obvious that the other party was very well educated and knowledgeable. And these are not the levels that ordinary people can encounter.

Who exactly is Hugh Page? Why would a great Yorkshire merchant be willing to leave a qiē behind to join the royal city of Pullen? Ni has always been vigilant about the background of Hughes, but no matter how he investigates, Ni can't find even the slightest trace of Hughes's background.

"This man is very tricky." Ni thought with a frown. "But it's such a tricky storage zài, why did the king choose him to do this?" Is this trusting him or ...... What about mere temptation? ”

Shaking his head, the king's decision was never something that ordinary people could predict, so Ni simply gave up and continued to think about such a troublesome problem, he put on his armor and pushed the door open and walked out.

"Ni-sama!"

The two soldiers stationed at the door bowed their heads and gestured to Ni.

"Send a troop of cavalry to the harbor city of Pandora, and inform the king of Husper that he has reached the city of Puron. Let's just say that a qiē is going according to plan. ”

"Yes!"

………………

When Ni Jiama came to the Weapons Development Department of the Iron Bureau, he looked at the three-story stone building in front of him, and the corners of his eyes couldn't help twitching. At a time when other departments and infrastructure expansion in the city of Pulen were most scarce, the construction of various facilities of the Iron Bureau always occupied the fastest, best and most resources.

The King's "Songun Policy" is in the best interests of the current royal city of Pleon, while in the harbor city of Pandora, it is a policy of "trade first". Although the two policies are set according to the local environment and the layout of the future, when he really saw that only one department of the Iron Bureau occupied two-fifths of the total resources of the other parts, he still couldn't help but sigh at Wang's doting and deep concern for the Iron Bureau.

"I've been waiting for a long time. Master Hughes had already gone in first, along with Mr. Cassius, the head of the Development Department. “

When two apprentice blacksmiths approached him to lead his horse, one of the apprentices said.

"Is Cassius back too? When? “

"Came back yesterday. After Mr. Cassius completed the defense of the city walls of Pandora, the harbor city, he took twelve senior students with him...... Well, the seniors are back from Pandora. I heard that the progress of the project on the Pandora side was very smooth, so the four-month project was completed ahead of schedule. “

"That's right......," Ni exclaimed, a little surprised. "Recently, the speed of completion of various projects of the Iron Bureau has become faster and faster, compared to the time when it was first established, it took more than two months and nearly three months to equip the equipment of more than 100 people, and now it will only take less than a month to complete the weapons and armor of 100 people." “

The two apprentices replied with a proud expression: "Of course! Now who doesn't know that our Iron Bureau is the largest and strongest department in the entire royal city, and there are more than 400 people working in the department alone, more than 100 craftsmen, more than 300 apprentices, 15 warehouses, 8 high-fire furnace rooms, and 33 casting rooms! And that's not even counting the special barn for the Fallen Forces. Our iron tools are undoubtedly the strongest in Pullen, ahahahaha! “

Nihaha smiled, amused by the proud expressions on the faces of the two schoolboys.

"Hahaha, what a bunch of little ghosts, your Iron Bureau occupies so many resources, the only one who can compare with you is the Intelligence Section. The Ministry of Commerce is nothing because it can meet self-sufficiency, but the Puron King City has now expanded into eight major departments, and your Iron Bureau, Intelligence Bureau, and Ministry of Commerce are already divided into three parts of the world. Other departments have developed backward for various reasons, and the worst ones have not even been demarcated for special purposes. You beware of the big wind, if the other departments are too red-eyed, be careful of dragging you into a dark room in the middle of the night to entertain you. “

"Huh?! No, it won't be......" The two elementary school students were startled, and they were extremely frightened.

"Aha, maybe that!"

Ni smiled and waved his hand, ignoring the two frightened children behind him, and walked straight into the tower.

The Weapons Development Department of the Puron King City is the core area of the entire Pulon King City, and the security here is the strictest in the Royal City. Three soldiers are stationed at each entrance to the tower, and four squads patrol around the tower, with secret posts in key areas such as ventilation and sewerage networks.

Because of his special status, the guards opened the door and let the nuns inside. And if it were other people, it would be impossible for ordinary people to get close to the development department at such a close distance, and if the apprentices were not high-level apprentices, and even high-level apprentices would not be able to come in without the guidance of a master.

At the same time, in order to prevent the leakage of information that may occur to the technicians, all engineers entering and exiting this tower must be accompanied by two "sunspots", and as for why this reason is not known, everyone knows why. While some engineers are disgusted by the "sunspots" around them who are always staring at them with scrutiny and wariness, the Black Ops people don't care about these attitudes at all.

According to the self-deprecating tone of the sunspots, it is - there are many people who hate Lao Tzu, how old are you?

"Ni-sama, you're here."

"Cassius, you're back so fast, have you taken care of all the things on the king's side?"

An old man with a white beard and a flower came up to him and hugged him gently, the old man's face was full of smiles, his face was ruddy, and he looked very healthy and energetic.

"It's all been solved, and those delicate "small gears" of the king zuò are really eye-opening for the old man! The combination of those small iron gears can easily lift hundreds of pounds of weight, which is really amazing. But thanks to those little things, the second phase of our "Sky Project" in the royal city of Pullen has finally been completed. “

"What?!" Ni's eyes widened in surprise, and he looked at Cassius incredulously and asked, "Is it ...... Did you really bring that monster out? Praised by the king as a strategic weapon that can instantly turn around a thousand-man battle, the Death Giant Crossbow has been created? “

"Ahhh You're so excited, that thing isn't that exaggerated! ”

Cassius laughed and patted Ni on the shoulder, and then he said: "Although that thing is indeed very powerful, but it will take at least fifty or so units to instantly turn around a thousand-man battle, and now with our technology, it will not affect other engineering projects, and it is the limit to build five units a month." ”

"So difficult?" Ni asked, frowning.

"Yes, all the parts in it are made of new concepts, and too many technologies are still very immature. If it weren't for Wang Xian's training of us old bones in some basic methods of using the gear effect, I'm afraid that even if all the parts were put in front of us, we wouldn't be able to assemble them. ”

Cassius said unabashedly.

"But then again, is that person over there really Wang Te's approval?"

Cassius asked, putting his arm around Ne's shoulders and pointing to Hugh Page, who had been standing in the corner since the beginning.

Ni looked in the direction Cassius was pointing, and just as he was turning, he turned his head as well. Their eyes met in mid-air. Both of them nodded at each other expressionlessly, as if they were both wary of each other.

"Welcome to the royal city of Puron, Theseus."

"Yes, thank you, Lord Ni, for sending someone to pick me up, thank you."

Both Nee and Theseus shook hands awkwardly, something they had learned from the king.

"Okay, okay, now that everyone has arrived. Let's go to the back of the range. Cassius interjected.

"Test range? Isn't it here that let's take a look first? Hughes asked, turning his head strangely.

It has to be said that when Hughes received the order of King Pulon to allow him to enter the technical core department of King Pulun, Hughes was very excited for a while, and he thought that he had worked hard for the trade of King Pulon for a period of time, and finally won the trust of King Pullen.

So he hurried to the city of Pullen at once, and this time he came with another particularly important mission.

The group came to a wide grassland, where the terrain is open, there are no people around, and you can look directly ahead from your position hundreds of meters away, so it is an ideal test site.

In the center of the shooting range in the grassland, three terminally ill sick cattle were driven to the designated location, and the Pulen King City had a special market to buy some large livestock that were about to die of disease, which was cheaper and contributed to the transaction tax of the Pulen King City, which was naturally good for both worlds.

Netheus, Theseus, and Cassius watched as dozens of senior apprentices in front of them were busy putting the finishing touches on the equipment, with some exotic tools around them to put the finishing touches on the small parts inside the machine.

Hughes and Ni glanced at each other, looking at Cassius's proud expression, and the two of them decisively stepped forward to take a closer look at the monster covered in pitch black and strange shape, with three dark iron spears placed near the mouth of the arrow.

"Ready to launch!!"

After all the final debugging is completed, it's time for the actual acting.

In order to get the most realistic number of shots, the people in the development department specially found some livestock for live/body realization. This is also to detect how much power the iron arrow of death can exert under the multiple resistance of **, bones, muscles, etc.

At a distance of about 100 meters, the Death Giant Crossbow first shot a directional arrow and tested the trajectory of the catapult on the spot. The men behind will then drive the livestock to the route where the crossbow will be fired, so as to be sure that the iron arrow will hit the target 100%.

"Ni-sama, you're all ready."

"Yes, let's get started."

As soon as the order was delivered, the men in charge of driving the cattle tied their ropes and fled in all directions, not wanting to stay here and wait for them to be blown to pieces
