Chapter 15 Science and technology are the primary force for development
From the departure to the return of a sweeping campaign, the members of Lorraine and the Warthog Legion spent two months, although most of the time was spent in the armed parade, except for the battle on the outskirts of the Cuckold Forest, which was more thrilling, the rest of the time was only extremely tired and boring.

Except for the Senate in Varanka, no one in the entire Aroon State dared to resist Lily's government orders, and those who wanted to do so were crushed in the face of absolute power.
There are indeed fools who want to learn from the goblin king caliphate, the original Seventh Legion and now the royal guards, with their gyroplanes, mages and air cavalry, to show them what the price of stupidity is.
However, Lorraine felt that he was not happy at all as the commander of the Seventh Legion, and he was seized of power in a minute, so it was better to keep bringing the recruits and use them more easily.
When he returned to the city of Lane and then went to the port of Belland, he found that Josephine had governed quite well during this time, and a complete administrative system had emerged.
Including the port master, the port governor (Josephine himself for the time being), the treasurer, the judge, and the captain of the guard, and then their deputies, there are more than fifty people who act as the management system of the port.
"I'm good at politics, aren't I?"
"It's really good, I didn't expect you to have talent in this area......"
Then Lorraine saw Josephine surrounded by several Elamite staff, "This is also thanks to my new subjects, whose sensitivity to finance and government affairs is very helpful in the establishment of the administrative system, but it is a little less forceful. ”
"Actually, we're also very talented in arcane and divine arts, Your Highness." A little guy who didn't hold his breath spoke, and immediately received the sharp eyes of his fellow clansmen around him.
It seems that this is true, the Elamites have a great advantage over the colonists in the use of enchanted items along the way, and if you can train them systematically, maybe you can give the mage group.
Then the princess and the colonel looked at each other, "Can we train arcane warriors?" "Shall we try training mages?"
Well, there wasn't much tacit understanding, and after arguing with the two, they found another problem: most of their mages were not of high level, and they lacked spell casting materials, so they could only ...... according to the current conditions
"Can only train a magic armored driver? Can that kind of iron really replace a professional? ”
"Let me explain." Lorraine coughed, ready to teach the princess and her staff a lesson, "Everyone also knows that the only magic materials we have must supply the Skyfire, that is the strongest force in our hands, whether it is a mage or a warlock, there is no way to appear in the army on a large scale for the time being. ”
"The number of our professionals is far inferior to the enemies we are facing, the only way is to increase the number of magic armor, in this regard, Carl Jr. has summed it up, if it is driven by a spellcaster, the efficiency is about three times higher than that of ordinary drivers, for example, a third-level mage has a great chance to fight against those tenth-level professionals, which is a very amazing breakthrough in magic technology."
Although Josephine was still listening to Lorraine's explanation, he had already thought in his mind that as long as he made a large number of magic armor, he could fight against those hated professions, even legendary professions were difficult to fight against the state machine in this era, so counting this, the New World's strategy plan would have more chances of winning.
"Does little Karl's side produce magic armor now?"
"Uh......" Lorraine thought about it, and still chose to tell the truth, "Not for the time being, and there are still many problems with the current magic armor, the quality of our steel is not qualified, although the quality of Sakurashi is high, but the yield is too low, the speed of the magic armor is only thirty kilometers, and the weapons are only long-handled heavy weapons and nail spray guns, this time the big goblin warriors against the enemy still rely on the hardness of the shell, and they were lucky to defeat the ......"
"It sounds like there are still a lot of shortcomings, but I believe that the development of magic technology will definitely be able to overcome these, and the last question, what is the price?"
"The price is a troublesome thing, if according to the perfect design of Carl Jr., a fully armed magic armor costs as much as 50,000 pfennig, it really can't afford to use it!"
Josephine was taken aback, one armor would cost 50,000 fennig, if he had been armed with hundreds, wouldn't he have gone bankrupt a long time ago? No, there is no such thing in the current army expenditures, that is, "Lorraine, you have a lot of money in your private house, and you can afford such expensive armor!" ”
Well, what followed was the argument between boyfriend and girlfriend about that little money, although Lorraine denied it and resisted strictly, and made it clear that she would not hand over her wallet, Josephine could only take her staff to find Carl Jr. angrily.
Just kidding, from Fontainebleau to Corsalan, how could Lorraine easily get a girlfriend with all the money she had to work hard for, it was millions of gold coins and valuable jewels!
Josephine, who went to find Carl Jr., got a more satisfactory answer, the military production version of this magic armor is not expensive, only 10,000 gold coins are enough to resist solid bullet attacks, muskets and grapeshotillos can cause shell damage at most but will never hurt the driver, but in terms of magic defense, it can only resist second-level spells at most, which is better than nothing.
Factoring in Sakuraishi's energy consumption and regular maintenance, each magic armor requires a driver and a maintenance shift of ten people, which is expected to cost ......
Well, although I heard that the magic armor will definitely be stronger in the future, it is definitely not something that cavalry can fight against, but it is really expensive!
"It's decided! Little Karl and Engels don't stay in this hellish place, I have decided to set up the Magic Research Institute, and you will be the chief and deputy positions! ”
"It's rare Josephine that you're so generous, what about the funds?"
Little Carl's face was a little weird, of course it was best to have real power support, but the money...... "Lorraine is all in charge!" ”
It's simply a legendary pit daddy...... No, this is my girlfriend's future wife, it's just a pit husband, wife, you can't do this, Lorraine will smash her head and chop her hands.
Hearing the support of Lorraine, a hidden rich man, Carl Jr. smiled with satisfaction, and decisively signed a contract from his staff, starting today, he, the future master of magic and red theorists, Carl and Ma Zhelin officially became the first directors of the Royal Magic Research Institute.
Congratulations, congratulations!
Except for the hapless Lorraine, when he learned the news, he could only arrange Carl Jr. and the others to a safe location on the outskirts of the port of Beland with a sad face......
"That's where you say it's safe?"
"Of course, you see that there are mountains and rivers, and huge stones, and I have also asked the mages of the airport to explore the geology here, even if someone casts a legendary spell, it may not be able to break it, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied with you xx! Hurry up and clean up this pile of broken stones, we need designers and drawings, you stupid! ”
"Don't, spending money indiscriminately hurts people's character, ah! Don't bite my fingers! Help me! ”
……
At the cost of both mind and body, Lorraine's painful 'huge price' of six thousand pfennie gold coins (which is indeed huge in terms of purchasing power), and a large number of elemental coolies and little goblins to help build it for free, the construction here has come to an end.
Then he was kicked out of the institute in a daze, and left with the messenger, for Josephine needed his help. (To be continued.) )
