318: Bactria
After sending Sergei away, Simalan hurried in.
"What's going on?" Aslan asked in surprise.
Sima Lan is now also the head of the weapons department of the Violet Principality, and he is also a very human minister, and it is rare to see him so anxious.
"Of course, there's an emergency. Simalan picked up the glass of water that had just been Sergei, and there was still half a glass of water in it, and no matter who had drunk it, he poured it directly.
Putting down the water glass, he hurriedly put a map of the Duchy of Violet that he had just drawn on the table.
Simalan stretched out his finger and pointed to the map and said, "We went to the west a few afternoons a few days ago to observe it. Except for the mine we're working on. We found an iron ore source almost a kilometer from there. The two places may or may not be connected. However, the ore layer is very shallow, although the distance is a bit far, but it is still very convenient to mine. In addition, we found a silver mine five kilometers east and west of the west. But the depth is quite deep, and the mining is quite difficult......"
Subsequently, Simalan successively introduced many mining areas, and the farthest was even half a day's journey away from Feitian City.
I have to say that there are still a lot of resources buried under the ground in this world. However, most of them are too far away from the surface, and it is still difficult to develop quickly and effectively with the current industrial level.
"I didn't expect you to find so many places in just over a day. Aslan said with a smile.
"This is mainly because I asked Yang Zaixing of the Griffin Knights, and he arranged a few griffons for us. That's why we can search so many places so quickly. Simalan said.
Aslan looked at the map again, and he frowned: "After looking for so many places, isn't there a mining area for the magic crystal vein?"
"This is strange at times. There are many ores in some places, but there are some mines that are not available. Anyway, I looked for a long way, but I didn't have a magic crystal. The gem did find one, but it was a little deeper. Simalan said with a smile.
"Then I want to mine two iron mines here, this silver mine, and another gem mine. What do you think. Aslan said.
"Iron ore and silver ore are no problem. But this gem mine is a bit far from us, and it is often infested with wild beasts, so it may not be convenient to mine it. And we can only be sure that it is a gemstone, and we don't know what kind of gemstone it is without digging it up. Simalan said.
"So, I understand. I'll leave these things to the department in charge of mining. Aslan put away the map: "Simalan, what do you think of our current Flying City?" ”
"Now the Flying City. It's perfect, it's comparable to any country's capital. Simalan said with a smile.
"But these are only in military and cosmetic terms. I also need this flying city to be a little different in terms of life. Aslan pulled out a stack of papers pressed next to him, the drawings on the paper were a mess, but there were still some annotations.
"Isn't life good now. The inside of the city was paved with that kind of flat ground, and the buildings were arranged so neatly. Simalan said suspiciously.
"Look at this thing. You may not have heard of many of the above things, but I have done my best to explain them to you. I want you to tell me how much of the above can be achieved in your lab. Aslan said in a deep voice.
Simalan took the stack of manuscripts, and with each page he flipped on, his eyes widened, and his panting became more and more rapid!
"It's much easier than airplanes and tanks, it's just too complicated and it takes some time. "Simalan is well aware of the gold content of this document in his hand, although most of the things are civilian items, but they can greatly improve the living standards of the people.
Aslan nodded with satisfaction, and took out another document, even he felt shocked by this thing, this was completely conceived by him alone, as for whether it could succeed, Aslan was not sure.
"This is my new research, but there are many things I don't know very well, and there is no way to improve them, so I need your help, and if necessary, I will send a magician to assist you. ”
Sima Lan subconsciously took the document, and just after looking at it for the first time, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Lord Duke, you're crazy. Simalan sped up his reading, and immediately many places involved magic, and he couldn't understand a lot, but the creation and content of such a thing were too terrifying, and once it appeared, it might change the whole world.
"I'm ......" Simalan said a few words in a row, and finally took a deep breath and said, "Lord Duke, there are many things in this state of uncertainty, I must study them with Sherington and Addison, and if you can, please send Sergei and Raphael Magician to me together." ”
Aslan nodded without any hesitation and said, "Yes, we'll go and give orders now." ”
This incident did not cause much of a sensation, only those who were interested found out.
After Simalan left Aslan's office, he gathered all the three inventors, Sergei, Addison, and Sherrington, along with Miss Raphael, a genius magician who was still in the Flying City.
Today, Miss Raphael's strength has reached that of the Great Magister, and she is only one step away from the Holy Magister, and her research attainments in various magic are very high, even veteran magicians like Vadis and Valondo ask her for advice from time to time.
With such a large lineup, it seems that the Violet Principality is about to invent something terrible again.
Let the spies and spies of Flying City run fast.
It's just that their actions are in vain, but they increase casualties in vain, in the airtight Storm Fortress, their spies and spies have no effect at all, and even lose a lot of elites, so that all forces can't help but give up and continue to lurk, but the surveillance of the Storm Fortress is frequent.
At the same time, on the other side of the Wanlv Mountain Range, the closest town of the Great Xia Empire to the Wanlv Mountain Range, that is a military town, but there has been no enemy for too many years, the soldiers have become lax and lazy, and the city walls have also been eroded by wind and frost, and they are no longer as majestic as they used to be, with 100,000 troops stationed at the beginning, and now there are less than 10,000 troops left.
In the past two years, because of the trade with the White Yun Empire, this dilapidated military town has become increasingly prosperous, and it has slowly transformed into a commercial and trading city.
