Chapter 61: The Importance of the Magic Engine

A magic car does cost a lot, but if you look at it at the level of the entire Oskaia Empire, it doesn't seem particularly expensive. But it can play a great supporting role in the war.

"Flandy, ...... you" His Majesty Haman was a little dumbfounded, and even Algernon and the four archmages looked at him strangely.

"Did you first build a magic car for the army?"

"Your Majesty, transportation is only one of the uses of the magic car. ”

"Ah, is there any other use?" Now not only His Majesty Haman, but everyone present was not calm.

Frandi looked left and right. He said to His Majesty Haman: "Your Majesty, teacher, let's talk about it when you enter the hall, and I'll draw a drawing for you to understand." ”

Everyone was curious to see what else Franky had in mind. He followed him into the council hall.

Taking a blank piece of paper, Flandy held a quill brush and drew on the white paper for a few minutes, then turned it over to everyone and said seriously:

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a lot of wasteland in the Empire, and the peasants need to work with hoes little by little, and it is very hard.

If you make the wheels of the magic car bigger, so that it can adapt to all kinds of terrain, drive in the field, and drag a row of plows in the back.

It will make the reclamation of wasteland very fast and easy. ”

The row plough is a combination of 10 ploughs, each plough is separated by a distance of one meter, so that ten ridges can be turned out at once.

There was a "bang", and everyone listening to Frandi's explanation exploded.

His Majesty Haman's voice trembled slightly, and he said to the herald on the side: "Ed, you go and invite the eldest prince, the prime minister, the minister of industry, and the minister of agriculture to come to the palace to discuss matters. ”

Is the Oskaia Empire short of food? Of course, it is scarce, and it is urgent, and the origin of mankind is in the east of the continent, which is now the Kunmo Kingdom.

The people who have been cultivating this land for more than a thousand years have always been the largest granary of mankind.

However, after two dark wars, the rise of the Viton Empire has been fighting with the Oskaia Empire for this granary.

In the Kunmo Kingdom, there are small battles breaking out almost every day, and they have already been thousands of miles away. Swathes of farmland that were once vast expanses of farmland have been abandoned and the population has been drastically reduced.

If it weren't for the fact that the Great Prince had been sitting in the Kunmo Kingdom all these years, I'm afraid that this kingdom would have been annexed by the Viton Empire.

And the Iwu Kingdom within the territory of the Oskaia Empire is also commonly known as the Mountain Pimple Kingdom. Except for a few mineral deposits, almost no food was produced, and it was all supplied by the central empire.

The predecessor of the Viton Empire was the Kingdom of Tara, and in the southern part of the continent, there were wide and flat steppes. It is rich in cattle, sheep, horses, and three kinds of livestock.

This is also the confidence of the Witton Empire. It can be said that if the Kunmo Kingdom is occupied, then the foundation of the Oskaia Empire will be a little shaky.

Therefore, when he heard Frandy say that he could reclaim wasteland and increase food production, His Majesty Haman and all the great magicians present here were so excited.

Flandi only got the news from the books that the Oskaia Empire was short of food. I didn't know that it was so lacking, but after listening to the discussion between His Majesty Haman and the great magicians, I had a specific understanding.

So while the ministers had not yet arrived, they simply took a quill pen and drew a few more sketches on white paper.

After a short time, several ministers who had been summoned came to the council hall.

These ministers met Flandy at the royal banquet every year during the Chinese New Year. Knowing that he was a student of Algernon, but not knowing why he was here.

His Majesty Haman asked Flandy to reexplain the machinery on the drawings. The ministers were also very excited.

This kind of magic car is whether it is clearing the land or plowing the land. will be tens of millions of times stronger than manpower.

Even in their minds, images of mana were dragging plows side by side, leaving patches of fertile fields behind.

After Flandy's explanation, His Majesty Haman solemnly said to Prime Minister Donne Burt:

"Mr. Donn, you are in charge of this matter, and you are to supervise the Ministry of Industry to make this car in full force. After the magic car is manufactured, the Ministry of Agriculture will also come up with a plan for the grain fields. ”

Prime Minister Don has been the Prime Minister of the Oskaia Empire for nearly ten years, and is less than sixty years old this year.

However, he has been riddled with illness, and his body looks a little thin.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will do his best. "Prime Minister Don En does things simply and doesn't like to talk at length. So I took the order directly and didn't say anything else.

The Minister of Agriculture said happily: "Your Majesty, if this magic car is so easy to use, then the annual grain harvest will definitely be greatly improved." ”

Only the Minister of Industry frowned. He leaned over and said to His Majesty Haman: "Your Majesty, the detailed drawings of this magic car ......"

The detailed drawings were all in the hands of the head of the Lowell department, and the Secretary of Industry, Dean Motley, was still confused.

Brandi said dryly: "Your Excellency Dean, I will redesign the drawings according to the different uses of the vehicles. You'd better send someone to stay in my magic tower. I still have a lot of ideas that I need your help to bring to life. ”

Industry Minister Dean was overjoyed. Thank you again and again.

"Flandy, you still have a lot of ideas?" "His Majesty Haman was already surprised. The main thing is that Flandi surprises him too much.

"Your Majesty, look. ”

As he spoke, Flandy took out the newly drawn drawings that had just been waiting for the ministers.

"For example, as long as you build a reservoir on high ground, and then use this magic water lifter to carry water from the river to the reservoir in a loop, so that a few more canals can solve the problem of irrigation of farmland. ”

Because of the rush of time, the drawings are very simple, but they can make people understand the principle at a glance.

It is a ropeway with a reservoir at one end and a river at the other, with buckets at intervals, powered by a magic engine. The river water is lifted into the reservoir in a circulating manner.

"The magic engine can still be used like this!" His Majesty Haman was shocked again.

Irrigating farmland is also hard work, with farmers carrying buckets of river water into their fields, but only a little bit of the land can be wetted.

In the event of a great drought, even if there is water in the river, it will not be able to irrigate.

Flandi solves two of the most difficult problems of farming at once. The old emperor was inexplicably overjoyed.

Unexpectedly, because of a magic car, so many things happened, and when all the ministers were ordered to disperse, Algernon invited His Majesty Haman and the Grand Prince of Bowen into the secret room.

"Is there anything else important to do, Your Excellency the Archmagist?" asked His Majesty Haman, confused.

Algernon smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I didn't expect the purpose of the magic car to be so important. Actually, I didn't come this time because of these things. ”

"That's ...... Is there anything else good?" His Majesty Haman was pleasantly surprised again.

"Flandy, come and talk to Your Majesty. ”

"Your Majesty, look at this. ”

As he spoke, Flandy pulled out the Fire Elemental Core Ring. He also told Vito about the discovery of this ring as a substitute for essentia ampoules.

"You mean it increases the power of magic?"

The successive surprises smashed the old emperor a little blindly. He didn't know what to say about Frandy anymore.

"Yes, use it to cast magic, and the power can be nearly doubled!"

"It looks like the magic core ......"

His Majesty Haman was silent. Because he knew that the magic core of the entire imperial capital had basically been acquired by the Melward family.

"Your Majesty, I discussed with my grandfather before I came, and the Melward family is willing to give all the acquired magic cores to Your Majesty. Frankie said solemnly.

Hearing Flandy's words, His Majesty Haman relieved himself and said, "Very good, Flandy, you tell your grandfather that I will not forget the contribution made by the Melward family to the empire." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Franky said with satisfaction.

............

Before returning to the Academy of Magic, Flandy went to his grandfather's house again and told him about his Majesty's promise.

My grandfather was also overjoyed to get the news. Ordered the second uncle, in addition to the imperial capital, to let all the family's shops on the mainland step up the acquisition of the magic core at all costs.

In the days that followed, Franky began to get very busy, designing various vehicles based on this magic car.

As long as there is an impression in the previous life, even the special vehicles that cannot be produced at the industrial level of this world are briefly drawn renderings.

In addition to vehicles, there are many ways to extend the use of the magic engine.

Every time a machine is designed, the two experimental assistants, Tom and Jerry, are not surprised. I was amazed by Flandi's whimsy.

If it weren't for the Elemental Collector, even if these machines were designed to save a lot of manpower, they wouldn't have received much attention.

After all, it was very difficult to obtain essentia before, and it was a drop in the bucket just for magicians to use.
