In short, King Druid's scepter was temporarily put away by Shelley, anyway, before the matter of the greenskin ghost is dealt with, this new pit can be avoided, otherwise he will not be able to keep himself busy even if he has a clone.

Even though she was given a solar battery to charge the computer, she decided to leave it alone. After all, even if the computer was turned on, she would probably still be hesitant to activate Omega.

The most important thing at the moment is production, and only by producing a large number of products and docking with the World Chamber of Commerce can you have enough funds to run this city machine and support the process of bringing the entire army into modernization.

And money alone is not enough, technology can't keep up, it's not good.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, although now we are from the mantis...... Uh, no, we got enough ingredients from that cavern to make gunpowder, but we still can't keep up with the speed of our munitions production line. ”

Nika's distress, Shelley didn't have a headache. Every process in the production line is done manually, and in order to improve efficiency, she has refined the process to the point where it can no longer be refined.

However, as long as there are still people standing on the production line, and the operation of the assembly line is not automatic, this speed will definitely not be improved.

"Other people's beginnings are safe to farm, why come to me, you have to go to war at the beginning, it's too difficult."

Fighting a war is the most expensive thing in any era, and if he could, Shelley didn't want to touch it at all.

But the problem of the green-skinned ghost is very urgent, once the beginning of spring next year, if the matter has not been resolved, it will enter the summer that is not suitable for the expedition, and once the summer is over, it will usher in the autumn when the green-skinned ghost will go out en masse.

Look at the distribution of the green-skinned ghost tribe, what will it be like for them to attack together when the time comes, and think about the scalp is numb.

"Oil hasn't been found yet, so even if you make an engine, it won't work." Shelley thought for a moment and said helplessly, "At present, the power system can only rely on the steam engine, and it just so happens that the supply of coal has basically kept up with the demand, so let's do it according to our previous design." ”

Scarlet Moon on the side said curiously: "Didn't you say that Big Brother Owen's ability solves the magnet problem?" Isn't the electric system still enough? ”

Nika shook her head, "It's the same as oil, we can make oil-burning engines, and we can make motors that run on electricity. But the problem is that the source of oil and electricity has not yet appeared. ”

"Didn't Uncle Sixth say that he had successfully made a batch of batteries?"

"It's useless, the power that those batteries can support is so small that at most it can only support us to put the lighting plan on the table. But if it can support enough power to make the assembly line work, it will definitely not be able to do it. ”

It's not that Shelley hasn't thought about supplying electricity directly, but the problem is that she can't solve the power generation problem at all.

Hydropower, sorry, there is no water source that meets that condition.

Then wind power, even more embarrassing, the geographical location here is close to the border forest, so the wind is not strong, as for the so-called high-altitude wind, hehe, she can't do such a huge fan at present.

As for solar power generation, this technology content is too high, and the production of solar panels must be solved first.

Two days ago, she got a solar mobile battery left over from the previous era, and she gritted her teeth for a long time before deciding to remove a little bit of solar panels from it and use it to study how to make it.

Petroleum power does not have oil, so it can't work. The electric system is not accessible without power. Reading Building

Therefore, the only thing to count on is the steam engine. The principle of this thing is simple, and the power can keep up, even the train can pull it. The only downside is that it consumes too much energy.

Shelley said that the supply of coal could keep up, but in fact she knew very well that once the steam engine was pressed, the supply of coal would soon be stretched thin. Therefore, the steam engine can only be a transitional prop at best, and it must not be relied on for a long time.

So, while trying to find a way to solve the oil and power generation problems as soon as possible. There are also a few more open mines.

"Alas, the World Chamber of Commerce doesn't do coal business, and even if they do, they don't have much in their hands. I knew that I could get all the coal mines in the hands of Duke Pokata at that time. ”

After Scarlet Moon and Nika left, Shelley sighed helplessly, seeing her so troubled, Butler Morley, who had been standing silently on the side, spoke rarely.

"Your Royal Highness, if you are bothered by the coal matter, I have a solution, but it may discourage you."

Shelley's eyes lit up: "Now sweeping my mood is this coal problem, if you have a way to solve it, then say it quickly." ”

Morley nodded, "Well, perhaps, you can seek help from the Hamin family." ”

"The Hamin family?" Shelley was puzzled for a moment, then some memories flashed through her mind, and then she remembered, "My mother's family? ”

"Exactly, it's just that the relationship between the queen's family and the royal family of Li'an in recent years has ......"

Don't look at the two sides, they are the families behind the king and queen, but in fact, the relationship between the two sides has been tepid. At that time, the union between the king and the queen was only a political marriage, so there was not much affection between the two parties, and there was a pure relationship of interests.

As the health of the king and queen gradually deteriorated, the forces of various parties began to move.

As one of the first echelons of the Li'an Kingdom, he is also one of the founding fathers of the Li'an Kingdom. Many people think that what the Hamin family wants is not to side with a certain prince and princess, but to focus directly on the throne of the king.

Even though they have publicly expressed their loyalty to the king and the kingdom of Li'an many times, there is absolutely no rebellious heart. But the hearts of the people are separated by the belly, and the king's suspicion has not decreased in the slightest, and finally several orders have been issued a few years ago to suppress the Hamin family.

Even the queen did not change this fact. This made the relationship between the two families, which was already not in good shape, even worse.

The current patriarch is also the queen's younger brother Lippi Hamin, although after the family was suppressed, although he still publicly expressed his loyalty to the royal family, but who would believe this.

Now, the Hamin family, whose power has been extremely compressed, has not decreased financially, and the status of nobility has not been reduced. But there is very little power in his hands, and even the pro-guards are not allowed to have anything.

Originally, the princes and princesses had thought about enlisting the support of the Hamin family, but now when they look at their appearance, they don't have to waste their tongues, and they have no value anyway.

Not to mention them, even ordinary nobles rarely come into contact with them, for fear of touching the king's mold.

However, when Shelley recalled these memories, he felt as if something was wrong, and his heart was full of questions.

No, the king's operation doesn't look like it's suppressing, how can it be a little like it......
