Chapter 11 Reserves
In addition to listening to the results of Xiao Xi's accounting, he also asked her about the translation of the mental power training method, which was simply an endless treasure trove for the Menes Empire. The value of each one is equivalent to the secret skills of the major temples, and some of them are not even inferior to the Sun Golden Sutra.
Of course, such a thing must be introduced in the country to strengthen the combat power of the telekinesis holders (mainly demon hunters) and deal with the pressure of the dreadbeast.
In addition, the main purpose of Evan coming to the space fortress this time is to check the research progress of "Anti-Environmental Serum" and "Anti-Pulse Materials".
Both of these research projects have made considerable progress, the serum has entered the clinical trial stage, and the latter has already been produced - the street lamps that surround the palace are one of the experimental products, and they are currently in good condition.
After learning about the current process, Ivan had to wonder if he was really carrying the destiny of heaven, just a little bit, these two technologies that had infinitely destructive power on Hyperion would be owned by someone else. If you don't pick peaches with a knife, even if the Heblelun Development Consortium goes bankrupt in the future, it can clear the way for other armed consortia.
But now it's very cool, the patents of the two technologies are in the hands of the consortium, that is, in his hands, which can be regarded as giving the empire the possibility of industrialization. The reason why it is only a possibility is that the price of anti-pulse materials is so high that there is no possibility of mass production unless the production cost is reduced by a thousand times the current level.
β...... Specifically, the high cost of materials and the heavy unit mass require further research. At present, we have also mastered a new experimental direction, and it is estimated that the price of materials can be reduced by one-third, and there is no breakthrough in weight reduction. The project director stood next to the main chassis of the laboratory, pointed to the molecular structure diagram on the giant curved screen next to him, and said with some nervousness.
"Hmmm......"
Ivan first glanced at the experimental materials contained in the sealed glass cabin, then looked up at the rotating molecular structure diagram on the screen, and then took out a silver-white metal sheet from his jacket pocket and handed it to the other party:
"You go and try this material. β
"Huh......?"
The project director took the metal sheet, put it in his hand, and looked at him with some surprise: "With all due respect, this doesn't seem to be a special alloy material, but ordinary silver." β
"It's silver, but it's not ordinary silver, try it!" Ivan said in a tone that suddenly increased.
"It's up to you. β
The project director showed a helpless expression, holding a small piece of silver, and walked to the test bench dejectedly.
Five minutes later......
"It works! It really works! What is going on!? The molecular structure of silver has been completely changed, and its stability is comparable to that of carbon...... Not only is this material not affected by electromagnetic pulses, but it can also absorb and isolate photoelectric radiation!
"And so it was. Ivan's reaction was calm, because everything was expected by him.
When he returned to Hyperion, he doubted that he would be affected by the electromagnetic pulses that were ubiquitous in this world, just like the other mechanics. As a result, there were no adverse reactions at all, not only did he have no adverse reactions, but even Eru Romei did not have adverse reactions.
In this way, the clue narrows down to what distinguishes them from the rest of the mechanics, and what the two have in common. The answer is obvious, they are all the blood of the royal family, and they have cultivated the Sun Golden Sutra.
Since there was no way to find out the ethereal nature of the bloodline, Ivan focused his attention on the Sun Gold level, and the mysterious light energy gave him a lot of surprises.
Before landing on the space fortress this time, he injected light energy into a silver sheet, and then handed it over to the project director for testing, and the conclusion was as expected - the metal materials affected by the light energy or modified could cancel out the planet's strange electromagnetic pulse.
This will allow him to build several arsenals within the royal city and bring some powerful heavy firepower weapons to the Empire!
One by one, one by one
Just do it!
As the Demon Hunt War was about to begin, it was only natural that the Arsenal should be built as quickly as possible.
With the current industrial technology of the Federation, it is not too simple to manufacture several fully automatic weapons and equipment production lines for Bluestar's weapons and equipment during World War II. Moreover, from smelting to making parts to completing the assembly of one-stop service, all equipment can be transported to the ground in stages in the form of container modules, and then it is an arsenal according to the module matching assembly!
After a wave of communication with the main management of the consortium, Evan ordered three arsenals from the consortium in the name of the King of Menes, namely the individual rocket launcher arsenal (including ammunition), the mounted breech artillery arsenal (including ammunition), and the light armored vehicle arsenal (including ammunition).
The Bazooka Arsenal costs 2.5 million federal coins, the breech artillery costs 2,000,000 federal coins, and the light armored arsenal costs 6,500,000 federal coins. A total of 11 million federal coins, the left hand turned to the right hand and made a 20% discount on the friendship price, and Evan took out the last family fund to pay it off in one lump sum.
Since then, all of his savings in the Commonwealth, except for the physical booty given by Shylock, have been spent - now the consortium is basically his private property, except for the salaries and costs of the employees, he has only spent more than five million, but this time this time in the accounts of the consortium.
After placing the order, considering that the vast majority of people in the Menes Empire have never used this kind of weapon, let alone have a profession like a driver. Evan went to Xiaoxi non-stop and went to her to download the artillery training tutorial, the bazooka tutorial, and the light armored vehicle tutorial.
After doing all this, he took the price comparison table given to him by Xiaoxi, flew out of the space fortress, and rushed towards the royal city.
One by one, one by one
Wang Ting, General Office of the Inner Court.
"Bastard, the price of spices in the summer of 1453 was fifty-six deben a pound, and the price you remember was six hundred deben! I have already used a satellite to see the Sinai Palace, and it is clearly an earthen temple, with a radius of only 100 meters, and you have quoted a million deben! The uniforms of the palace honor guard, each set of eight thousand debens...... Are the corners all gold-inlaid and the buttons are pearls and precious stones!?"
The young Sun King was furious with the account book in his hand, and reported the loopholes in the account book one by one, and then threw out the account book and the comparison table with his backhandβjust smashed it on the trembling head of the treasurer.
"You'd better give me a reasonable explanation!" he took a deep breath and sat back at his desk, squinting at the other.
"I ...... I...... I ......"
The treasurer fell to his knees on the floor trembling and muttered like dead ashes, unable to utter a word. I don't know if it's because of too much oil and water, this man's physique is extremely fat, and both cheeks can hang down into bulging leather bags. At this time, kneeling on the ground looks like a trembling meat worm, and the face that cannot be said is shameful.
"You can't say it, can you? If you don't say it, I can say it!"
When Evan saw his bloated and incompetent appearance, he was even more furious, and suddenly slapped the case: "Come on, drag this moth out and hang it! All the family property will be confiscated, the wife and daughter will be demoted to the temple prostitutes, and the men will be exiled to the Red Sea to serve forced labor, and they will not be released for life!"
β......β
The treasurer shuddered suddenly, almost collapsed to the ground, raised his head with all his might, and pleaded with a pale expression: "Your Majesty! I am the only one who has made mistakes, and you cannot destroy the Herodotus family!
Before he could read it a second time, two heavily armed coronal knights rushed in, grabbed his arms from the left and right, and dragged them out of the court like a fat pig.
"Your Majesty! The Herodotus family has been loyal to the royal court for generations, and they pray for the grace of God, and they pray for the grace of God!" the treasurer was captured by the knight of the corona, and he was powerless to struggle, and could only cry hoarsely and incessantly.
β......β
Evan stood behind the desk, coldly watching the other party away, his eyes swept to the account books on the floor, and slowly let out a sigh: "Generations of loyalty to the royal court? It seems that there is more than one generation, and it is light to kill only one of you." β
When the treasurer's pleading cries had completely died down, he sat back in his high-backed chair and continued to transcribe the tutorials on artillery training, the use of bazookas, and the use of light armored vehicles in the holy script.
After writing them, he planned to print them in a booklet and distribute them to a group of intelligent and knowledgeable guards. Then let them go to the space fortress, go to the actual training for a while, and when they are successful, they will be the first artillery and armored vehicle instructors of the empire.
"Artillery must have a certain amount of mathematical knowledge to calculate ballistic trajectories, which is similar to ballistas, and the empire has such reserves. But armored car drivers are more troublesome, in addition to being able to drive, they also need to have a certain knowledge of maintenance. It won't be possible anytime soon...... It seems that a training course will have to be set up in the royal city, and the instructors will be hired from the armed personnel of the consortium. β
While thinking about what to do, Evan quickly finished transcribing the content, and fell into deep thought as he put pen to paper:
"A crash course is a crash course, but a serious school should also be run, you can first recruit a group of elite talents and hand it over to Xiaoxi for training. At the same time, dozens of retired educators were hired from the federal high salary to help write teaching materials. Then let this group of people teach a group of qualified teachers, and then I can logically open the imperial examination and squeeze the power of the aristocratic group. β
He was thinking about it when he suddenly heard Renee's brisk footsteps outside the door, and suddenly came back to his senses.
"Your Majesty!"
High-heeled leather boots took a step forward, and Rennie bowed in the direction of the desk: "Regarding the residence of the royal family, as well as the garrison of the Holy Army, you still need to approve it personally. β
"Where are you going to put them there?" said Ivan as he put down the pen in his hand.
"It's impossible to live in the inner city, where the land is expensive and overcrowded, and we don't have enough money to house six thousand royals. Therefore, I suggested that the royal family should be placed on the outskirts of the temple near the temple of Hades, open up wasteland there to expand the city, and then build a number of dwellings for them. As for the garrison of the Holy Army...... I think it would be better to arrange it outside the city, so as to not only deter Xiaoxiao, but also avoid touching the sensitive nerves of the nobles. The female adjutant dragged her thoughts out completely.
"Hmm...... Take me to see these two places later. Ivan bowed his head slightly.
"Also...... About the Demon Hunters......"
Rennie's eyes flashed slightly, she looked at him hesitantly, and said hesitantly:
"I know you have your considerations, but such a large-scale recruitment of elites may create a void in local defenses. Once the outbreak of the Dreadbeast cannot be contained, it is likely to cause them to join together and form a large-scale demonic disaster. If things turn out like that, the empire will suffer a great loss of population and wealth......"
"You seem to have misunderstood what I meant, the elite I am talking about is not the main force of the demon hunting teams everywhere. β
Evan took out a sign sheet of the Thebes Oasis from the drawer and sent it to the other party with a telekinetic force: "Fourteen to fifteen-year-old apprentice demon hunters, can they be regarded as the main force? I raised the banner of the demon hunting war in order to occupy the absolute righteous name, and now whoever dares to oppose me is against the demon hunting war, and then against humanity!"
"I see......"
Renee took the list, read it carefully, and asked with surprise and delight, "So, did you recruit this group of apprentice witchers just to bluff?"
"Bluffing? I'm here to be a swagger. β
Ivan slowly raised his right hand, 'click-click' into a fist, and there was a faint golden arc between his fingers: "The demon hunters who gathered this group of new forces mainly wanted to distribute them the strongest telekinesis training method. You probably don't know that in the world where I studied, all kinds of secret techniques for exercising mental power were openly taught, and each of them surpassed the garbage they cultivated. β
"How can there be such a thing......"
Renny blushed a little, quickly calmed down, and pretended to be calm: "Then Your Majesty should also teach us these secret techniques, compared to the demon hunting group, we are the backbone of the royal court." β
"Isn't that still translating......
Ivan grabbed a volley in his left hand and pulled back the call form from her hand: "After all the translations are completed, I will build a public library, and everyone can read the telekinesis secret skills in it at will." β
"It's unimaginable...... But will this bring about security problems?" Rennie thought long-term, already considering the burden of maintaining stability after the flood of telekinesis holders.
"Is policing more important, or is it more important to deal with the Dreadbeast?" Ivan asked rhetorically.
"Of course it's important to deal with the Dreadbeasts!" Reeney blurted out.
"Isn't that what it takes...... There is no such thing as the best of both worlds, as long as I can get rid of the dreadbeast, I don't mind having a headache for law and order in the future. Ivan pointed to his temples and said very calmly.
