Chapter 324: Sneak Attack
The deal with the aristocracy undoubtedly greatly alleviated Ortunno's inflationary problems. But as a result, they also lost the opportunity to make a lot of profits, as well as the redemption of some of the remaining important national property.
About 30 percent of the mines are still owned by the merchants, and more importantly, most of the country's railroad industry is in the hands of the merchants, and this feeling is very bad to be controlled by others.
Another big event is the central city of Ortuno, where Ruixin opened its first luxury store. That's not to say that Ortuno never used luxuries, they did! It's just not explicitly stated.
It's different now, and luxury stores are undoubtedly putting this kind of thing on the table. And it also indicates that something bad is happening.
Thorin didn't know how his countrymen had unconsciously become accustomed to toothbrushes and soaps, which were imported from Nolan. At first, there was no more stopping, and now these Nolan goods are flooding the top and bottom of Ortuno.
Everyone took each piece of Heyo in their hands in exchange for exquisite goods. Thorin felt the treasury dwindle at a rate visible to the naked eye.
This time he learned a new word, commodity dumping.
In order to reverse the trade deficit, Sorin decided to set up a public enterprise like Wayne to fill the treasury.
And this inevitably affected the output of the arsenal, which naturally attracted the opposition of the aristocracy. Langton threatens to stop trading in silver coins with Ortuno if the arsenal is reduced in the slightest.
As a result, the plans of Sorin's public enterprise were stillborn.
Nolan, Institute of Medical Research. After layers of guards, after strict scrutiny. Wayne finally came inside, and Merris was sweating profusely, and it was so difficult to keep Captain Xiang Nan's life alive.
Looking at Xiang Nan, who only had his last breath left, Wayne cast a sad gaze. The man who would have gone down in history is now dying as a monster.
Xiang Nan opened his mouth with difficulty, making a vague and rough sound. Seems to want to say something.
Wayne immediately delivered the charts to him.
"This is the sea area that is currently known, and at the same time, I have also blocked the sea area in the north and forbade exploration."
Hearing this, Xiang Nancai slowly closed his mouth and nodded with satisfaction.
Merris felt that the magic was pushed out of Xiang Nan's body as if he had been pushed by someone. It is a symbol of death.
"Dead."
Merris said without the slightest fluctuation of emotion, like a judgment of someone, justice before death.
Wayne glanced at Nan, the gray and black rotting flesh on his body stopped wriggling, and the slippery tentacles stopped twitching. Once the host dies, these parasites cannot survive for long.
"Start dissecting."
Merris ignored Wayne, if the parasite is quickly soaked in formalin, it will quickly wither and lose its research value.
Gerald, who seemed to understand Wayne's purpose, stepped forward and said.
"Now all 23 crew members are dead, and I have collected all the parasites on their bodies."
Wayne asked, glancing at Gerald.
"How's the research going now, is there a way to clean up the parasites?"
Gerald shook his head wistfully.
"If there was a way, Xiang Nan wouldn't have died. We don't know the reproductive mechanism of parasites, the reproduction process. I'm even wondering if they have self-intelligence. Too many mysteries are unknown. It would be nice if we had a sample of the parasite from the previous one. It is estimated that we will be able to understand these parasites in depth. ”
Wayne said lightly.
"I won't send people to the north to die until there are effective protective measures."
"But if no one goes, we won't be able to make progress in our research, how can we know effective protection."
Gerald retorted, it seeming that he was desperate for an independent parasite.
Wayne couldn't have blindly sent someone to his death, just to satisfy Gerald's desire for research.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this, how is the grafting magic doing."
Wayne asked about a very important topic in the research institute, if you use magic to catalyze some pharmaceutical raw materials. So the drugs made from these raw materials have better therapeutic effects.
Gerald pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
"Recently, good progress has been made, and it has been proven that the medicinal raw materials catalyzed by magic have better therapeutic effects. It can even alleviate the corrosion of parasites, and the solution soaked in Nan is made from these raw materials. ”
"Whether it can be mass-produced, the front line has been tight recently, and the number of casualties has been increasing. And the Pope of the Papal States, your old friend has begun to fall into the stone. A large number of pastors in the Northwest were ordered to withdraw. ”
At this, Gerald could only laugh dryly. There is no way, he is a loser in the coup.
"It's not enough to be large-scale, and small-scale mass production is about the same. And it is possible to soak this medicine in wine. Give it to the soldiers on the front line to drink. It has the effect of relieving fatigue. ”
Gerald's words reminded Wayne that he might be able to offer some special drinks in place of alcohol. After all, there are benefits to cutting back on alcohol consumption.
"Okay, what do you need, just apply. The cabinet will arrange everything for you, as long as you can make the ingredients. ”
"Good!"
Hearing this, a smile bloomed on Gerald's face, and with the funds, he was able to carry out a lot of research that he had not dared to try before.
Merris also packed all the parasites. In the yellowish solution, these already somewhat withered parasites still looked so terrifying.
Sample '381. ’
The container is marked with a number.
Within a few days, the cabinet allocated a remote, flat, fertile field to the Institute of Medicine. About 100 hectares. Formal adaptation begins.
Another important thing is that the project of 'non-stop firing of small arms' has been successful. To put it mildly, the machine gun appeared.
However, compared with the famous Makqin in his previous life, the guy in front of him is huge and can be compared to a cow. The weight is certainly not light, not much less than a field gun. It's like an anti-aircraft gun. However, compared to his previous life, this guy's power is less than half of that of his previous life. And it is very cumbersome to replace the firing pin after each use. And the ammunition used by this guy does not correspond to all known bullets. In other words, Wayne needs to open another arsenal to serve this guy.
But all this is for two important indicators, rate of fire, range. For the sake of these two indicators, Wayne specifically instructed that other properties could be drastically reduced, and finally created this monster, Iron Spear Type 1.
The rate of fire reached 450 rounds per minute.
The firing range is about 1.6 km.
Now he finally didn't have to be afraid of those magisters, and Wayne didn't believe that these magisters could withstand thousands of bullets.
