Chapter 36: The Hope Harvester
The wishes are good, but the reality is not so good.
At the end of the month, Stormwind's promised aid was still in vain, and the official in charge of the western wilderness said that it had been sent, but there was not even a slice of bread to be seen on Sentinel Ridge.
The old knight asked his comrades to help investigate, but the other party replied in a letter that was very vague and advised him not to pursue it further.
Not a fledgling young man, living to this age, the old knight quickly guessed the truth, this material should have been embezzled in transit.
There is no way to find out which link and who is greedy, let alone anyone to investigate with great fanfare for the sake of these civilians in the western wilderness, and the country will rot at the root.
When the appointed time came, let alone paying off the debt, he couldn't even take out a dime.
The debt is not much, it is certainly not much for a country, it is not a dime, but it is not too little, for individuals, the savings of a lifetime cannot fill this hole, and the old knight can only come to see Vanessa with an old face.
He proposed two plans, one was to give a grace period of two months, and the other was to use materials to pay off debts.
"What else do you have?" Vanessa had secretly gone to the other party's warehouse a few days ago to take a look, and she was so poor that she didn't even have a mouse, and she really didn't see anything worth starting with.
The old knight led her to the north side of Sentinel Ridge, where several militiamen were wrapped up in wounds, her face was full of curiosity, and then several militiamen brought out a huge mechanical artifact, and she suddenly realized.
It's a Reaper 4000 robot.
Although the worldview and cultural traditions are different, Dafan has always had the idea of mastering the core technology, hiring goblin engineers, plus skilled craftsmen on the human side, he built the big guy in front of him according to the appearance of the goblin steam mecha, and he named it the cumbersome robot of the Grim Reaper 4000.
After making it, Dafan threw the robot into the Western Wilderness, and he asked the robot to automatically find targets and attack automatically, creating panic among the people.
Now it seems that it was destroyed by the old knight with the militia, and he turned his head to sell it to himself?
Take it back and make it into a Grim Reaper 5000 yourself? And then release it to deal with these militias? She wasn't that boring.
Vanessa doesn't want to be this wrongdoer, and she has to buy her own things back? Never! In addition, she was also worried that this was a temptation by the old knight, after all, the timing of her appearance was a bit abrupt.
Looking around the robot made by Comrade Dafan, she came to an evaluation that it was too bulky! There are coin-operated group strikers, she can't look down on this kind of robot anymore, not to mention that it has no combat effectiveness, it moves slowly, and it's a big target when it's repaired.
The predecessor Vanessa is out of fun, and she has some engineering knowledge of this world, and she is not a Jiao lady who came through, and the car will definitely not be repaired, but she can do these things at home by changing light bulbs, repairing computers, and chaining bicycles! The Reaper 4000 in front of him is not complicated, and the occlusion principle of some gears inside the machine is clear at a glance, and it looks like it can be called simple.
"It doesn't seem to be going to work for me." Her implication was that she didn't want to.
The old knight was a little frustrated, people didn't want it, and he couldn't force him to buy and sell.
Vanessa's voice then changed: "Actually, this thing is still useful to you, modify it, as a harvester, it should be more suitable to go to the field to harvest crops." ”
"You still know mechanics?"
"A little bit of understanding, a little bit of ......"
Half a day later, the militia of Sentinel Ridge and a large group of civilians arrived at the Sardinia farm in the north.
In terms of class, the family can be counted as the last remaining landowners of the Western Wilderness.
Vanessa, who escaped from the mines of death, was adopted by the Satin couple and lived together for four years, but now they are strangers.
Without any thought of finding herself a pair of parents again, she greeted the Satin couple as usual, and began to tinker with the new harvester that she had named the Hope 5000 in the fields.
The Western Wilderness is not without arable land, it is full of fertile land, and if you scatter a little seed, you can harvest a lot of grain in the coming year, and it has always had the reputation of the granary of the West before Dafan came to this land with the Brotherhood of Defia.
There are many reasons for the trauma all over the land today, the perverse behavior of the Brotherhood is just one of them, the ignorance of the nobles of Stormwind City, the strict observance of the law of the old knights, and the fact that the young people who have been fighting for years are all problems, and all kinds of reasons come together to make the western granary become the western wilderness.
The Sardinia farms also had this problem, they did not dare to cultivate too large farmland, because they had limited manpower, and secondly, they had to guard against wild boars, vultures, thieves, and hungry civilians.
The couple's cultivation could only barely sustain themselves within a small area, and the remaining large area of arable land was completely abandoned.
"I hope that 5000 will not have these problems, and it will deal with some beasts and enemies." She pointed to the robots busy in the fields.
The harvesting robot moves very fast, it is not the kind of wheat that is figuratively cut, it is now cutting wheat, the robot does not have the problem of back pain, according to the established route, it harvests all the wheat it sees along the way.
"Don't go over yet, wait, wait a minute." The old lady Satina, who looked rather kind, wanted to go over to see the cut wheat, but Vanessa hurriedly stopped her.
The old lady invented a new method of stewing fresh soil and wolf tail in the western wilderness, creating a precedent for human cooking, but don't be harvested by robots, which is a loss for the culinary world.
Vanessa's machine harvesting is actually very rough, but it greatly liberates labor!
In the past, when the old Sardinia and his wife were harvesting wheat, they were like thieves.
Civilians are pitiful, true, but they are hungry and can become hateful. Now it is much more convenient, and I hope that the 5000 harvesting robot can not only harvest wheat, but also harvest it by the way.
The old knight took more than a dozen militiamen, spears, bows and arrows, shields and lassoes, and it took a lot of effort to take down this robot, and a group of civilians could not beat the Hope Card Harvesting Robot.
Shocked and unconvinced, taking care of the home, plus harvesting grain, usually not working can be released to kill wolves, liver shopping coupons, Vanessa's new work received even better praise than expected.
After all, the night of this year is too chaotic, it is useless to raise fierce dogs, and it is really common for people to eat two dogs when they are hungry, but try to change robots? I don't know if there is a real man who claims to be a capable robot, but Vanessa hasn't seen it anyway!
