When Renault returns to Hammer City, he receives a message from Hank. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The whole king was in disarray, and under the iron rule of Portia, he closed the gambling arenas, issued orders prohibiting gambling of any kind, and at the same time raised the tax burden of the merchants, collecting more food and troops from all over the country, and the streets were filled with hordes of soldiers arriving from the far south every day.

The merchants left the royal capital, and they sailed their merchant ships to the sea, diverted from the sea in the southeast to the Naxi River, and began to trade cattle, sheep, and spirits from Hammer City.

In just one month, there were almost no boats along the Nibel River basin, and the commercial artery of the Oro continent was almost dry. On the contrary, the Naxi River valley seemed to be lively overnight, because everyone heard that as long as it was useful materials, they could be sold short in an instant when they were transported to Hammer City.

The gold coupons that Norman brought played a huge role, and there were several boxes full of gold coupons, all of which were worth one million gold coins, and he himself did not know how many they were.

While Renault was throwing a lot of money around, the houses in Hammer City were starting to sell at their peak. A large number of merchants saw the business opportunities in Hammer City and began to buy real estate here, and even many nobles in the south secretly bought several houses here.

The movement of the royal family and Hammer City made them start to feel nervous. Compared to the turbulent royal capital, Hammer City was obviously much safer, at least under Renault's rule, their possessions were safe.

There are also more far-sighted people who want to buy some land directly in Tuke City and build their own estate, and Renault gives the green light to this. Although these nobles were not productive, they had gold coins, which greatly stimulated the consumption demand in Tuk City, and at the same time, some nobles began to start a business selling goods on the spot.

The coldest time of the year has arrived, and Hammer City is covered in heavy snow.

The three satellite towns that surround it disperse the herders on the steppe with great efficiency, leaving there not a single tent outside Hammer City. Although it was not as lively as before, Renault felt that it was much better, at least he didn't have to smell the stench every day.

Portia also sent an emissary to Renault to collect his troops and supplies. Perhaps she knew very well that this was nothing more than a futile exercise, so after the person sent was blasted out of the city by Lauren, there was no more news.

Hank and Mario's strategic center also shifted to the south, where they purchased some houses and land in an open town on the banks of the Naxi River, where they began to sell Black Iron goods, which immediately attracted a large number of merchants.

As the richest place in the Auro Continent, the southern border has never lacked purchasing power, and motorcycles, which are expensive high-end goods, were sold out almost before they arrived, exchanging more supplies and gold coins for Renault.

The factories in Black Iron Town are as hot as ever, and the surrounding mountains are still so deserted and calm.

The Demon Ant King has taken root in Reynold's mines, and in anticipation of the upcoming war, it has begun to enter the breeding phase. This required a lot of mana to support it, and Renault used up almost all of the "black cow dung" to increase its number of people to about 10,000.

The Demon Ant King felt that it was not enough, and the terrifying thing about the Demon Ant was its number, so it decided to take its people to the deeper mountains. It follows the cavern carved out by the demon rat all the way to the west, hoping to find energy ore or a large horde of demonic beasts there.

Renaud has been in the laboratory all this time, and the return of Lily has given him a new idea.

She has Demon Spirit No. 13 "Decomposition", and has reached the terrifying sixth order, which is able to directly dissolve water into hydrogen and oxygen.

Even she didn't mean it was of any use, but when Renault set a bottle full of hydrogen on fire and exploded, both she and Charlotte froze.

"The air can explode," Lily covered her mouth like a little girl, "how the hell do you know?"

"It's not ordinary air," Renault didn't know how to explain the "molecule" to her, "it's a component of the air." ”

"But it came from the water......"

Well, if you explain it any further, he's going to start a junior high school chemistry class.

But hydrogen and oxygen are not enough, and to make good use of them, something special is needed.

Air compressor.

That's what Renault is working on right now, and he wants to use the existing production capacity to compress hydrogen and oxygen into cylinders, but the compression cylinders can't be accurate with a simple lathe, and sealing is a problem.

Now the best effect is to only fill the cylinder to five or six megapascals, which is not even half of the oxygen used in ordinary industry.

Just when he was worried about this, the mobile app suddenly released a task.

"Dear players, in view of the fact that you are currently researching how to build liquid rockets, we hereby issue a special mission to you. ”

"If you can get a girl's first kiss within three days, the system will reward you with an air compressor and some liquid rocket engines, as well as liquid rocket manufacturing technology. ”

"Do you accept the assignment?10,9,8......"

It came too suddenly, and it didn't give anyone time to think about it.

But do you need to think about it, Renault almost didn't even look at the request, and just clicked yes.

"If the mission fails, you will lose the opportunity to acquire rocket technology forever, so please work hard!"

This is not a little difficult at all, Renault happily accepted the phone.

There were a lot of girls around him, and he felt that if he wanted them to make such a request, no one would refuse.

But the person he liked most was Lily, and when he saw this beautiful girl for the first time, he faintly liked her.

But as the first brother of the two worlds, he suddenly wanted to say this to the girl, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

So he invited Lily to take a walk with him after dinner.

I have to say that in the era when there were no movie theaters, it was very inconvenient to fall in love or something. Especially in this cold winter of two days of wind and snow, two people walking on the road full of snow, only the crunch sound from their feet can be heard.

How do you speak?

Finally, when he saw that there was no one around, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "Lily, I want to ask you a question?"

"What?" asked Lily with a smile in her mouth.

"You...... Your first kiss...... Can...... Give it to me?"

Lily was stunned, and then laughed: "I'm sorry Lord Renault, my first kiss was given to my sister a long time ago." ”

She playfully stuck out her tongue as she spoke: "When she was just born." ”

Renaud couldn't help but be disappointed, and secretly scolded himself, how could he ask this? Even if it's not the first kiss, is it easy to come out for a walk in the cold?

"If you don't dislike it, though. ”

As she spoke, Lily leaned over, kissed him lightly on the mouth, and then ran away with a red face.

Ding――

At the same time, there was a message prompt sound on the mobile phone, and the task was successful.

Knowing that his sister didn't count, looking at the back of Lily running away, Renault immediately rushed into the basement of the machine shop excitedly.
