Listening to his father's explanation, Leonid stopped in astonishment and looked at Roland with a grateful gaze.

Undisturbed by the outside world, Roland continued to cast the "Construct Body Enlightenment Technique", slowly injecting divine energy into Natalia's body, and at the same time activating the "High Divine Super Demon" to add "Spell Extreme Effect" to the Construct Body Enlightenment Technique, so that Natalia's three spiritual attributes, intelligence, perception, and charm, could all be raised to the highest level that this spell could achieve (18). Of course, Natalia's intelligence and charm are already very high, and she can't understand the subtle emotions between people because her perceptual attributes are too low, and the main purpose of Roland's spell casting is to make up for her shortcomings.

After a few moments, Roland successfully completed the spell ritual and slowly withdrew his right hand, sighing with relief and looking slightly tired.

Natalia woke up from her shock state and saw Roland for the first time, and her originally dull and indifferent face immediately showed an expression of gratitude - the constructed creatures who received the "Constructing Body Enlightenment Technique" would instinctively have a crush on the caster.

Then, Natalia's gaze turned to Leonid, staring blankly at her husband's nervous face, and suddenly curled the corners of her lips into a sweet smile.

"Natalia!" After many years, Leonid saw the smile on her face again, and couldn't help but rush forward excitedly, hugging Natalia who had finally found a way to express human emotions, although there were no tears in her eyes, her throat couldn't help choking.

Matvey saw this sad and joyful scene next to him, and when he recalled the past, he couldn't help but cry.

In the afternoon of the same day, Roland said goodbye to the grateful Leonid and Natalia, and returned to Krasbourg with the old man Matvey, inviting the old man to his office for tea and talking about the application prospects of the magic car.

When his son was not around, the old man didn't pretend anymore, and couldn't hide his excitement to confide in Roland his truth:

"Leonid is really a bit of a talent, and the magic car he created will change the transportation mode of the entire Varess world, maximize the transportation capacity of roads, and even surpass rail transportation! His Royal Highness Roland, when it comes to railway technology, our Far East is not superior to the major powers, but when it comes to emerging road transport technology, we have firmly occupied the leading position, and the top priority is to push the magic car technology from the laboratory to the factory as soon as possible, and then to the military and civilian markets, to create a new industrial chain! ”

"Old man, what you said is so good, these are exactly what I want to say." Roland poured a cup of tea for the old man Matvey, and said with a smile: "The promotion of the magic car, a new means of transportation, is a matter of the transportation department, how about your old man take the trouble to write a report on what we just discussed and submit it to the cabinet for consideration as soon as possible?" ”

Old man Matvey picked up the teacup and looked troubled.

"Leonid is my son after all, and if I write a report to boast about my son's invention...... Isn't that good? I'd better avoid it! ”

Roland was almost amused by this roundabout old man, but after thinking about it, the old man's concerns were also reasonable, so he retreated to the next best: "Your old man writes a report, and I will sign and submit it, okay?" ”

"That's the best!" Old man Matvey patted his thigh happily.

The old man was full of motivation, wrote the first draft that night, and ran to Roland for review. After reading it, Roland felt that there was basically no problem, but Matvey only emphasized the civilian prospects of the magic car, and did not describe the military use much, and Roland added two more paragraphs in this regard, which were submitted to the cabinet for consideration the next morning.

"Your Majesty, Excellencies, the Minister of Transport and I witnessed the performance of the Magic Guide Car with my own eyes yesterday at the Magic Guide Construction Research Institute on Kolas Island, and the specific evaluation has been written in the report, so there is no need to repeat it. I would like to emphasize that in today's world, the magic car invented by Mr. Leonid is the only fully automatic land vehicle with real practical value! ”

What does this mean? It means that if we can apply this vehicle in large quantities, we can carry out high-speed marching in areas where there are no railways, quickly transfer combat troops and weapons and equipment, and greatly improve the efficiency of logistics and supply. ”

Why did Roland deliberately emphasize the military value of the "magic car"? Because he knew his father's temper well and knew how to scratch the itch of His Majesty Rudolph. If only the civilian value of the magic car is mentioned, His Majesty the King will probably not be too interested, and the cabinet ministers will cling to the issue of "cost". At present, the magic car is only a laboratory sample, and has not yet achieved industrial production, and the manufacturing cost is bound to be very high, even if the factory assembly line production is realized, according to the experience of the earth, the cost of automobile transportation is higher than that of sea and rail transportation. It is likely that the ministers will conclude that "the magic car is not economical enough" and rank its importance behind the development of shipping and rail transportation.

Now Roland focuses on the strategic value of the magic car in the field of national defense, and emphasizes that the magic car has lower requirements for road conditions, neither need to drive on the water, nor do you need to lay rails in advance, and its huge advantages are highlighted.

It was a matter of national defense, and His Majesty Rudolph's spirit was immediately lifted, and he picked up the report and read it carefully, nodding and smiling frequently.

"Roland said it well! The magic guide car is the basic guarantee for our army to realize mechanized and motorized operations! Think about it, what is the advantage of cavalry over infantry? The first, of course, is maneuverability, and secondly, the high load. War horses can be used to ride, can also be used to drag cannons, since ancient times is the most important resource on the battlefield, but unfortunately war horses are a very fragile creature, inseparable from careful breeding and care, easy to get sick, easy to get injured, not to mention how strong the war horse is, after all, it is still flesh and blood, physical fitness and weight always have a limit, and these problems will become a bottleneck that limits the comprehensive combat effectiveness of the troops. ”

"If you think back to Vares's history of warfare, it is not difficult to see that the process of military modernization is not only the pursuit of more powerful firepower and stronger fortresses, but also the pursuit of higher mobility and a better logistics supply system, if you ask a quartermaster what he wants, he will most likely say that he wants more, stronger, more obedient military horses - this is the most valuable military asset in his eyes!"

Laughter echoed through the Cabinet chamber. Rudolph himself smiled, then put away his smile and raised his hand, and the council hall fell silent.
