Chapter 276 I know that things won't go so smoothly, you waste thinking about how to die
Laetitia really fulfilled her promise, and her combat power multiplied geometrically, even if Su Wen had the body of a dragon yang, she was almost unable to do so.
The next morning, before the sky was completely bright, she got up to say goodbye to Su Wen after sleeping for less than two hours, packed up her things and left the hotel. Compared with Su Wen, who was paralyzed on the bed and didn't want to move, she didn't show any tiredness at all, but looked full of energy, which made Su Wen wonder if this half-elf had cultivated some technique of collecting yang and replenishing yin.
Then Su Wen slept until noon.
It's not that he's squeezed dry, well, that's one of the reasons, but the main thing is that he's exhausted to the limit. In the past few days, he has enjoyed a life of spending money during the day, and he has been exhausted physically and mentally by exploding his liver at night to deal with the affairs related to Mtase City, and now he is only waiting for the successful hatching of the proliferator on Xiao Shi's side, and he is ready to leave for the Longshan ruins, and it is rare to have half a day of free time to do nothing, of course, he chooses to sleep.
As soon as he woke up, it was the completion time that Xiao Shi swore to himself yesterday, but this time Su Wen did not let the pit father system create a virtual "Tasuli" element incarnation in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, and then control it remotely. Although this method is no different from the real body to some extent, after all, it is impossible to use projection from deep space, and if you can't arm the slime breeders with the projected weapons, those guys whose combat power may not be comparable to that of ordinary adults will be meaningless to themselves.
So he had to go there himself.
As for Laetitia, I can't pay attention to it for the time being.
Because it's still early.
Last night, in addition to doing what she had to do, Laetitia also confessed all the things she had encountered all day yesterday. From her thoughts in the past few days, to meeting Hibbert, to how she persuaded Hibbert to join her plan, and how in the next half day, she and Hibbert, with the help of his connections, not only found the best craftsmen in Mtase, but also recruited a team of 50 foreign mercenaries, and planned to spend at least half a year in the next six months. Being able to make so many arrangements in a short period of time, it can be seen that Laetitia is very serious about this matter, and at the same time has great enthusiasm, and when Su Wen heard her detailed plan, he couldn't help but be impressed by her.
According to her plan, the most important thing at present is to develop the first batch of prototype firearms. And under the influence of the pit father system, its goal is also very clear - the most important accessory on the original gunpowder firearm is not the gun itself, but the bullet, and she actually spent most of yesterday running around for the preparation of this most important thing. It is not useful to just bring in craftsmen, perhaps firearms can be made using the skill of those craftsmen, and if the material is neglected, some craftsmen with elemental abilities can control the accuracy error flawlessly, but the bullet is not very demanding and needs to be mass-produced. In particular, an inconspicuous shell requires dozens of processes to change from raw material to finished product, so the only option is an assembly line composed of processing machine tools.
The concept of machine tools and assembly lines is not very uncommon in this world, and the magic energy revolution has been promoted several times, and it is impossible to really stay in the primitive labor-intensive era. In some developed countries, such as the northern continent of Duolun, the famous province of iron furnaces, is a representative of this convergence, where countless factories roar day and night, wagons of product are transported by rail and air to the entire continent. Even in the city of Mtase, you can easily see the products produced in the Iron Furnace Province, from daily necessities to long-barreled gunpowder guns, from magic lamps to magic locomotives.
It turns out what a wise decision it was for the emperor of Duolun to gather goblins and dwarves together and then give them an entire province, although the green-skinned dwarves among them are more fond of swaggering and usury, but they are indeed very creative, coupled with the seriousness and pragmatism of the dwarves, once the two are combined, they will create a large industrial province in Duolun that ranks first in terms of economic output every year.
Of course, the current Iron Furnace Province is not very peaceful, and it only experienced a terrorist attack more than a month ago, which provokes the Duolun Empire to seem to be gearing up to send an army to the Northern Expedition, but this is off topic.
All in all, if you want to manufacture high-quality bullets in large quantities, you must have a modern assembly line supported by the molding industrial base, and there is no such high-end thing in Mtase City, so what should I do?
Buy it!
Iron furnace province is a golden signboard, but the distance of thousands of kilometers is really a little far away, but fortunately, even in the southern continent in front of you, there are many industrial countries and industrial provinces, most of these places have the ability of assembly line production in theory. It only needs to buy an assembly line and a number of technicians to overcome the difficulties in the process and pave the way for the early preparation of the armament.
Then the problem arises again.
"Let's not talk about whether those industrial countries sell it or not, even if they are really willing to sell, I am afraid that it will be a sky-high price, plus the cost of raw materials, labor costs, intelligence and operating expenses, and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses, where are you going to get so much money?"
After listening to Laetitia's plan, Su Wen couldn't help but raise his doubts.
"Mr. Hibbert will help me in the early stage, and yesterday I got 50,000 gold coins from him for the start-up capital, which is enough for us to use for a long time. Hehe, he can't help it, after all, he's cornered, as long as I give him a little hint, he will obediently pay money to try to gain my trust, after all, now only I can guarantee his safety. ”
Su Wen was a little surprised.
"Hey, how do you know that he was cornered, haven't you already become his little fan sister. ”
"You underestimate me too much, I have lived under the rule of slave owners since I was a child, and I have seen many things, how can I casually trust a person of unknown origin? Even if you are of the same race, cannibalism is very normal, and there may be unrequited kindness in this world, but I do not think that I will be lucky enough to meet him a second time, and when I first saw Mr. Hibbert, I assumed that he came with disguised malice. ”
When she said this, Laetitia was becoming one with Su Wen, so its content made Su Wen tremble greatly, and she almost couldn't hold it for a long time.
"Shocked, what you said in the car, it turned out that you were lying to me!"
"At that time, we must have been observed, and when you entered the city, you were arrogant like that, didn't you show that you were attracting bees and butterflies, but I was trying my best to cooperate with your performance. ”
“!”
Su Wen seemed to reacquaint himself with the half-elf above, his expression was full of strange light, and he said in disbelief: "So, do you know that the high elf is not good, and you also know that I let Douglas observe your movements behind your back and protect you, and then deliberately pulled him into the thief ship?"
Then he was leaned over and bit down on the shoulder.
"I guessed that the one was not good, but I didn't know the latter one, but I'm sure now, you're really spying on me. ”
“......”
Oh no, I leaked my mouth.
But there seemed to be only joy in Laetitia's eyes.
"Thank you, I knew you wouldn't really let me go. ”
"What if I really don't care?"
"Then I'll rob it openly, if Mr. Hibbert comes with malice, no matter how gentlemanly he behaves, he will eventually show his feet. And I also took the initiative to test it, hahaha, he was so cowardly, but he disappeared in front of him a little, and then quickly fled, but I have already installed the tracking equipment of the tactical kit on him, and no matter where he runs, I will eventually find him. ”
“......”
Su Wen was silent for a long time after listening to this.
"Why didn't I realize you were so smart?"
Laetitia leaned into his ear and exhaled softly, "Because in front of you, I don't need to be smart at all." But you called Laetitia an idiot just now, and I'm a little angry now, shouldn't you apologize to me a little?"
"Oh, let me apologize with practical actions!"
Su Wen could no longer hold on, rolled over, and began the accelerated piling operation.
......
......
Until he came to the lakeside villa in the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion, Su Wen was still immersed in the memories of last night, not only did he have a new understanding of Laetitia, but also realized how strong the dragon bloodline was in some aspects. Especially the female dragon, it is no wonder that every adult female dragon's nest is like a kiln *, the male dragon with a mate is far from enough, and it is necessary to raise three thousand faces from various races, and sure enough, the combat effectiveness is not at the same level. If this is not the same bloodline ascension, I am afraid that it has become a scum.
The dragon is truly an evil creature.
However, when Su Wen stood at the door of Lucius's large wine cellar, all his distractions flew out of the clouds.
Huge smell of alcohol!
The smell of wine!
In fact, when I came here yesterday, the smell of alcohol here was not small, but it was fundamentally different from today. If yesterday I smelled the sweet aroma of red wine, then today I asked about the pungent smell of fruit wine after over-fermentation, which makes people feel difficult to breathe when they smell it.
With such a strong taste, Su Wen knew immediately that something must have happened, either Xiaoshi was a miracle and gave birth to hundreds of descendants of drunkards, or ......
Su Wen held his breath and entered the wine cellar, passed through the wine mist that almost turned into substance, felt the wet touch on his face, and came to the huge wine pool containing Xiao Shi.
In a day's time, the slime had turned from yesterday's majestic and upright into a shapeless puddle of mud, spreading across the entire pool and constantly bubbling from it. In its body, a large string of proliferations that had been nurtured like fish eggs had all disappeared, and the surrounding area could be said to be a mess, with all the remaining barrels of Lucius being shattered, and the red wine converging into streams and ponds everywhere, forming a space like a bloody hell, full of slimy red-black liquid, very disgusting.
Well, no need to either, it's already the worst-case scenario.
Su Wen looked at Xiao Shi, who was already drunk into a puddle of mud with a blank face, and didn't even know that someone had come in, as if he was thinking about how to cook it would be more delicious.
