Legend has it that dragons like to pile up gold coins all over their nests, but in fact, when it comes to the dragon lord, a pile of useless metal piled up at home is definitely an idle egg pain. Lord Pucasor was obviously not interested in gold mines, and continued: "There are quite a few coal and iron mines in the kingdom, some rare mines are located on the border, and there are many good things in the Gondola Mountains of Tasman. ”

For Roddy, such information is crucial. After he thanked him repeatedly, the lord left with the excuse that he was still going to study calculus.

Roddy picked up the stone and injected the magic power, and a curtain of light was projected directly in front of him—he adjusted his direction, and he saw a proportional projection of the territory of the Cullen Kingdom on the wall. The map is marked with different colored dots of light, and the text on the note shows the approximate reserves and types of ore veins, as well as the types of associated ores...

Roddy had a deep understanding of the power of the dragons before, but this time he was still frightened by the strength of the Black Dragon Lord - in such an era when mining was basically dependent on Meng, what Pucasto did was no different from satellites.

For the leaders of the kingdom alone, it was hard to find a million gold—or rather, a million gold—that the important foundation for the agricultural society to move towards industry was, first of all, the abundance of energy and ore, and now, these two greatest problems were solved by the Black Dragon Lord in three days.

Luo Di didn't expect that he would get such a big gift before he was ready to leave, but he stared at the map for a while, and was inexplicably a little distressed: he was not playing a real-time strategy game, the population of the Karen Kingdom was not large, whether it was mining or building roads and railways, the cost and labor were astronomical, and he still had an army to raise, and even a fleet to build...

He suddenly understood the reason why most of the ancient Chinese emperors were sprayed by later generations: no matter what decisions he made, the people at the bottom would be tossed... The so-called "prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer", nothing more than that.

As she stared at the map, Kardashian knocked on the door and saw what Roddy was studying, and glanced at it. When she saw the other party looking over, she threw a metal ball in her hand: "Pucasto is really neat, the problem has been solved." ”

Roddy didn't look back, a magic condensed tentacle caught the ball, he took it and looked at it, and found that the metal ball was extremely round, the surface had been polished, and it was heavy in his hand - he was familiar with the drawings, and knew that this was the bearing bead used in the aircraft propeller, and it was the only bottleneck of long-distance navigation at present.

He thought that it would take a while to conquer this, but he didn't think that the Black Dragon Lord would solve the problem casually, and Luo Di couldn't help but be a little excited when he was surprised: "It's really done, how much has the strength increased?"

"The data shows at least three times. Durability tests are being done, but in the current condition, they are fully able to pass the tests. Kardashian also sighed a little: "Pucasto personally helped raise the melting temperature, and made a batch of beads according to the standard model with spells, and the measurement error is almost none." ”

Luo Di tugged at the corners of his mouth, thinking that this was much more powerful than the godlike "eighth-level worker" in China's state-owned enterprises.

"Now I can see that compared with the technology on the earth, the level of development here is really a bit deformed - the basic level of ordinary people is too low, and even the way to measure the temperature is very primitive, and the things made by the dragon lord are incomparable to high-precision machine tools. ”

Kardashian exhaled as she spoke: "But the bearing problem is solved, and you can finally go." ”

"That being said, but looking at this picture, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you a lot. ”

Kardashian eventually volunteered to stay in the kingdom of Cullen to help Roddy in the research department and monitor the cabinet - if the core forces are gone, Sally played by Nora alone is completely insufficient. At present, the power of the cabinet is too great, and under the absolute power, the problem of corruption is inevitable.

The demonic invasion made Roddy dare not slack off, but those nobles could not be willing to "serve the people" one by one.

Since Kardashian knew Roddy's secret, she has been very keen on the application of "earth technology", and the research and development of guided missiles has entered a new stage.

So at this time, Kardashian agreed very happily: "Say, are you going to dig those mines?" Anyway, this group of dragons is a lot of idle panic, if you release a task in exchange for points, there must be someone who is willing to help cast spells." ”

"The matter of the mine is secondary, mainly... Finances are tight right now. ”

Luo Di sat back in his chair and sighed helplessly: "In order to be efficient during the war, most of the roads relied on magic to shape and solidify, and the train tracks also cost a lot of money. ”

"The research department said that the effect is very good, the goods pulled are more than 100 times more than the carriage, and the profits..."Kardashian said stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted: "You mean... Can't get enough energy?"

Luo Di nodded: "I haven't made such a big mess before, but now I understand that there are many things, and I am really too loser." ”

He began to count on his fingers: "The high elves had sufficient reserves of hedras at that time, but they did not engage in universal transportation, and their magical abilities were strong, so they didn't need to spend too many spars in war. But what about us? The war to Rahiman will take a lot of money, and the share of trade will be a lot, and now the trucks that build roads, the trains that will run non-stop after they are opened, the planes that will sail across the oceans, etc., all need spars, and each of them is not a one-time thing, but a huge amount of consumption must be maintained for a long time..."

If you only rely on the transformation of magic crystals and the collection of those precious elemental crystals from the natural world, at the current consumption rate, the Karen Kingdom will not be able to supply them at all.

Kardashian immediately realized what he wanted to do: "Are you going to use the earth's technology as an aid? Nuclear power must be useless, internal combustion engines, oil and other things..."

Luo Di hurriedly waved his hand: "Be realistic, we can't just look at the current industrial level of the cutting-edge mage. After the internal combustion engine was made, only the laboratory had enough processing accuracy, and mass production and maintenance were too difficult. ”

He raised his hand and pointed at it, and the tentacles condensed by magic on his back spread to the map projected by the stone, and in a few seconds, it became the current map of the kingdom's horse route.

"The traffic problem is not the means of transportation in the first place, but the roads - you see these road sections, they are all repaired by spells and road rollers, although the maintenance cost is acceptable, but this invisibly takes up too many resources, and the invisible loss is something that cannot be measured by gold coins. So I thought that if I could study concrete and cement and the like, I wouldn't have to do so much in the future. ”
