Chapter 426: Depressed Xia Qi
This matter has to start from the elven administrative district.
Some time ago, someone reported that the railway track located somewhere in the elven administrative district was actually vandalized.
This attracted the attention of King Arthur, who thought that a careerist who did not obey the rule of Great Xia did it, and then ordered an arrest.
Soon, under the joint investigation of the army and the giant eagle knight, the murderer was caught.
After interrogation, it was revealed that the men who destroyed the railroad tracks were not careerists, but a group of people who were worried that the smoke emitted by the steam train would pollute the elven borough.
Therefore, they wanted to stop the steam train from entering by destroying the railroad tracks.
After learning of this situation, Arthur Wang did not punish these people, but after some preaching, he released them.
Who knows, instead of ending, this incident has intensified.
Not only were many railroad tracks destroyed, but protests broke out in many elven cities, and even if it wasn't for Arthur Wang's stop, these guys would have been on their way to Great Xia City.
Finally, Arthur Wang also mentioned in the letter that if the pollution problem is not solved, it will be difficult for steam trains to enter the elven administrative area.
Seeing this, Xia Qi's eyebrows were already wrinkled.
For the problem of pollution, Xia Qi has also been psychologically prepared, if civilization wants to develop, it must develop industry, and the development of industry, pollution is always an unavoidable topic.
But he forgot that whether it is humans, goblins, or orcs, it is actually okay to talk about the problem of pollution, but the elves are different, they can be said to have zero pollution for pollution.
It was his negligence, and he didn't expect the elves to react so violently.
The way of survival of the elves is to live in harmony with nature, and they allow the proper cutting of trees for timber without indiscriminate logging, and at the same time accept the act of hunting.
However, the impact of the steam train, a large vehicle, on the natural environment was clearly beyond their acceptable range, which led to this wave of rebound.
It is completely conceivable that in the future, if Xia Qi wants to forcibly carry out the railway project, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the elven people, and may even lead to a decrease in the livability of an entire elven administrative area.
But this project is so important that it is clearly impossible to just put it on hold.
Now, he can only ignore the elven administrative region for the time being, and then develop several other areas first, as for the elven administrative district, he will use the rail carriage first.
Wait until new, eco-friendly trains appear, and then consider the Elven Borough.
In fact, the steam car is still a trivial matter, and the most important thing is that Xia Qi saw the attitude of the elves towards pollution from this incident.
Not just the steam train, but any polluting industry in the future, Dixiu wants to enter the elven administrative region half a step.
Xia Qi sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that for a long time in the future, the elf administrative area can only be a tourist area.
Of course, he can also forcibly pass the steam train on the elven administrative district, but in this case, it will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the elves, and even a decrease in loyalty and rebellion.
In this way, the gains outweigh the losses.
Sure enough, with Xia Qi's order, those protesting elves stopped making trouble in an instant.
Compared with the troublesome Xia Qi, Jin Ming's side was very comfortable. Recently, this kid has come up with a new gadget, a pendulum clock.
The clock is also a precision instrument, because of the lack of technical strength in the past, so it could not be made, but in recent years, the development of Daxia has advanced by leaps and bounds, coupled with the technology of goblin technology, it is not difficult to make a clock.
Looking at the pendulum clock placed in front of him, the corners of Xia Qi's eyes couldn't help twitching a few times, and he even wanted to open Jin Ming's head to see if this guy's head was also equipped with gears.
What's so special, who gives gifts and has a watch?
Why don't you send me to the end?
On the other hand, because of the breakthrough in technical strength, the Ordnance Research Department once came up with new results.
Looking at the new rifle in his hand, Xia Qi's depressed mood was alleviated.
This new rifle has made a new breakthrough.
First, the loading method of the bullet was improved to the rear loading type.
This change not only greatly increases the reload efficiency, but also increases the frequency of attacks for riflemen.
Second, an increase in range.
After hundreds of design experiments, the maximum range of the new rifle has reached the level of 300 meters.
As long as the army of Great Xia is equipped with this kind of rear-loading rifle on a large scale, then the Terran archer army can basically be eliminated.
Except, of course, elven archers.
They still have a clear advantage, after all, they also have the powerful weapon of magic arrows.
In the shooting range of the Ordnance Research Department, the sound of the gunshots of the new rifle continued to echo, and even Xia Qi was a little itchy.
The advantage of firearms is that they are easy to use, even if Xia Qi, who is not familiar with firearms, can be on target after a period of contact.
The ease of use is very important in the army, and this is also an important reason why guns can eliminate bows and arrows in the early stage.
The new rear-loading rifle soon appeared on the production list of the ordnance factory, and at the same time, the continuous breakthroughs and successes in the field of ordnance research made Xia Qi take advantage of the situation to take out the design drawings of the special weapon of the dwarven civilization, "Grimm Heavy Cannon".
Although the name of the Grimm heavy cannon is cannon, it is actually a firearm.
With six barrels, it is considered the predecessor of Gatling.
Needless to say, this is the next big project of the Ordnance Research Department.
Although Grimm's heavy artillery has not yet been manufactured, Xia Qi has basically decided in his heart that this is definitely a killer-level trump card!
One thing after another was quickly ordered, not to think about the troubles in the elf administrative region, and the efficient development speed made Xia Qi feel comfortable recently.
This year, except for a little accident on the side of the elf administrative region, it was relatively smooth for Xia Qi.
The elves in the elven administrative region refused to enter the steam train, which would definitely have an impact on Xia Qi's next development.
If Arthur Wang can handle this matter, it will naturally be better.
However, it is a pity that for the tradition of the elf race, Arthur Wang said that even he, the elven king, can't do anything.
The forest and nature are the homes that their elves rely on to survive, and in the eyes of the elven people, the introduction of a steam train is no different from putting a fire in their house, and no one is happy to change it, and this is where Xia Qi's headache is. sighed, Xia Qi, who couldn't think of a way for the time being, could only follow them first.
In the worst-case scenario, it would be a big deal to wrap up the elven administrative district into the interior of Great Xia, and then make a new southern border out, so that the steam train can bypass the elven forest.
At the same time, after a period of rapid development in Daxia, the scale of the remaining major projects is there, and it is undoubtedly impossible to get up quickly.
And the substantial increase in military strength also made Xia Qi full of confidence.
So, Xia Qi decided to do something.
After thinking for a while, Xia Qi directly sent a message to Xiao Ke, asking him if he knew of any special civilization players in the Silver Rank.
After all, Shook has been in this rank for a long time, and has met more players.
Facts have proved that Xia Qi's question is really the right person.
According to the message sent by Shock, there is a player named Akinuk, this guy is an orc civilization player.
Although Xia Qi has already annexed an orc civilization, he has no interest in this second orc civilization for the time being, after all, if he annexes a civilization, the world in which he is located will expand a lot, and the territory he needs to manage will also skyrocket.
For this stage, Xia Qi didn't want his Great Xia to expand too much all at once.
Because with the current speed of news spread, it has begun to become inconvenient, and if this comes again, Xia Qi will not be able to control it.
But he thought about it, even if he didn't annex the other party's civilization, he could plunder the other party's population, increase the orc population of Great Xia, and replenish the orc tribe's strength by the way.
As for the candidate to lead the army out of the city, after consideration, Xia Qi finally selected Wang Arthur.
Without the slightest hesitation, this guy nodded directly and agreed.
Then, when confirming the allocation of troops, considering that the orc civilization on the opposite side may also have giant troops, he was given ten elephant men just in case.
As an aggressive civilization, the orc civilization has always been good at attacking but not defending.
Therefore, there is basically only one way for the orc civilization to resist the attack, and that is to fight!
Attack after attack, forcibly defeat the invading enemy, so that the city will naturally be defended.
Attack is the best defense, and this sentence has basically been the greatest embodiment in the orc civilization!
The loud sound of the attack horn continued to echo on the battlefield, and the closed city gate in the distance slowly rose, as a player of the silver rank, this orc civilization still has something.
As the gates opened, five large elephants charged.
Seeing this scene, Arthur Wang was very happy in his heart, fortunately Xia Qi gave him ten elephant towns, otherwise, this siege battle would be really difficult to fight.
In addition to the elephant people, there are also a large number of wild boar people, minotaurs and kobolds and other large number of main forces.
And through the telescope, Arthur Wang also found that the weapons and equipment in the hands of the orc soldiers on the opposite side looked pretty good.
The technology of the orc civilization is low, and it is impossible to make such weapons under normal circumstances.
But they can still develop, relying on grabbing!
Plunder!
This is the key for orc civilization players to promote the development of orc civilization.
