Chapter 182: Invitation to the Imperial Capital

All the specific news about the anti-magic manganese steel was firmly controlled and closed by Goodern.

There was very little information about the construction, but the people who received the task did not ask too much, and the construction began on the same day.

All the personnel involved in the mission were the first to join Qingyuan Town, or were the residents of the original Qingyuan Town.

At the same time, during the construction process, soldiers from the first battalion of the Qingyuan Army participated in the help, and Noros was also transferred to supervise the project and check for suspicious people in the surrounding area.

Although the orcs have been defeated and the fallen area in the western part of the northern territory has been fully recovered, the number of people in Qingyuan Town has not yet decreased.

After all, more than 400,000 orcs said no, and many people didn't think it was credible, but some people were already starting to pack their belongings and prepare to return to their cities to check.

Population loss is inevitable in the near future, but at least not everyone will leave.

The treatment and benefits in Qingyuan Town, but there is no better place than here in the entire northern border.

Coupled with the fact that it is a powerful force that can protect them, it is difficult to find such a situation anywhere else.

After all, the invasion of the orc army can be regarded as making them realize that their city is not absolutely safe.

In Qingyuan Town, there is food, drink and work, and the money saved by working here for a year can not be made up of work in other places, and it is safe, which makes many people with families decide the idea of staying in Qingyuan Town.

……

After Gooden completed the task of anti-magic manganese steel, he fell into the cycle of repeated approvals and decisions.

Since the defeat of the orcs, Qingyuan Town has been mired in a busy construction schedule.

A large number of new construction tasks and factories need to be built and arranged, and the development of external development has not stopped.

Qingyuanling and Xueguling add up to almost 20,000 square hectares of land, and no one knows how many good things are hidden in the uninhabited area of such a large area.

What the locals might see as garbage and useless things are treasures of treasures in Goodern's eyes, such as asphalt lakes and rock salt mines.

Like the mineral resources of Songhailing next door, Gooden's eyes are very hot, but unfortunately the other party has a lot of dealings with the Charleson family before.

Since the Charleson family was investigated, the Lantega family has also been investigated a lot, and the industry has also been affected to a certain extent.

I was going to cooperate with the other party, but unfortunately the orc thing came too quickly, which caused this matter to be delayed again and again, and it has been delayed until now.

But there is no rush in this matter, if you really have to wait until the cooperation, then you will have to wait until the spring.

After immersing yourself in the process of things, time flies, and a day passes in the blink of an eye.

The next day Gooden got up, and before he had even stepped into the study, the maid came to report.

"Young Master, Captain Hogtz has placed you, he is already waiting in the meeting room."

Hogz?

Gooden couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard that the other party had come to visit him early in the morning.

It can't be that there is something looking for him, stuck in his time, right?

Thinking of this, Goodern immediately said.

"I see, bring breakfast to the living room."

With that, Goodern turned around and went to the living room on the first floor.

In the living room, Hogzi was drinking hot tea from the maid, and when he saw Goodern coming, he got up and smiled.

"Good morning, Your Excellency."

"Good morning...... Commander, I thought something was wrong when I came to visit so early, but I see you're in a good mood right now? Is there anything good about it?"

Looking at Hogzis's appearance, Goodern ruled out that the other party had something important to look for him, so he relaxed and said hello to his position, and asked back.

"I'm definitely in a good mood after winning the battle, and I do have a good thing, but it's a good thing for you."

Hogzi said with a grin, pulling out a sheepskin from his storage vessel

Paper and a letter were placed on the table, and with a gentle push, the two items moved gently in front of Goodern.

And Gooden, on the other hand, was a little weird, looking at the object in front of him.

"My good deed? This thing was given to me?"

"Well, you have made a significant contribution to the war in the western part of the North this time, and delayed the deployment of the orc army, creating enough time for the empire to attack, it can be said that there is still this stability in the north, and your credit accounts for more than half of it, this one is Your Majesty's announcement and edict, you can take a look, and the other letter was also brought to me by Your Majesty."

Hogzi nodded slightly, explaining the two items to Goodern.

Looking at the parchment edict, Goodern picked it up with curiosity to check the contents, and after reading the contents, Goodern was dumbfounded, and looked at the contents of the edict with an incredulous expression.

"This ...... This...... This is slander, is the person mentioned above really me? Praise is not such praise, I see shame in these words, where can I say so bravely."

The whole edict was sprinkled with words, most of which was boasting about his algae, and its description and praise made Goodern himself blush.

"The empire and the orcs have not been at war for more than thirty years, although everyone knew that this sudden war would come, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly, and your appearance is just to inspire the empire, not to mention that this battle is a conspiracy that has severely damaged the orcs, if you come to my position, the publicity and praise will be even more exaggerated."

Hogzi said with a smile as he took another sip of hot tea.

For this situation, Gooden was also a little speechless, but this can be regarded as beating out his reputation in Qingyuan Town, whether it is trade or recruiting people in the future, it will no longer be the unknown Qingyuan Town in the past.

Putting down the parchment edict, Goodern looked at another letter on the table.

Hogzis, who was sitting on the sidelines, spoke up before Goodern could speak.

"Your Majesty has ordered your title to be promoted from baron to earl, and at the same time invited you to the royal capital, where Your Majesty will personally bestow you with honors and re-divide your domains and duties."

"This letter was written to you by His Majesty himself, and it will not be too late for you to read it alone and give me an answer, the time for the award ceremony is set for December 2, and you have enough time to decide and prepare."

Do you want him to run to the royal capital again?

After listening to Hogziz's words, Goodern couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

How does this cheap dad feel a little bit with other intentions in it?

However, at the moment, he did not directly refuse, after all, this time he was awarded a medal to himself, and no one would refuse the reward.

And there are still ten days before the second one, so long, he is also ready to make decisions and preparations.

"I understand, decide as soon as possible and give you an answer."

Goodern nodded slightly, and Hogzi was not in a hurry, and said.

"Don't worry, you have decided, I will escort you to the royal capital, I will temporarily live in Qingyuan Town for the next few days, you have decided that you can come to me at any time and leave."

"Also, there's one more thing besides this news." Hogzi paused as he spoke, then continued.

"The Emperor and His Majesty are very interested in the weapons in your hands, if you are interested in selling them, the price can be negotiable, and you can also bring a few weapons with you when you go to the royal capital for display."

"Of course, if you can't go, there will be special personnel to come to Qingyuan Town, it depends on your attitude."

In the face of Hogzis's next words, Gooden was not surprised, the Qingyuan Army showed this weapon in front of the emperor, but anyone with a little eye will definitely come to ask about the trade sale.

Gooden is also ready for the sale of arms, but has not given a direct answer at the moment.

"Okay, I'll think about this matter, and we'll give you an answer when the time comes."

"Well, then I won't bother, I'll wait outside the griffon camp

You."

Hogz got up and passed the message on, and he didn't stay in the castle anymore, and Goodern, as a newborn lord, had a lot to do every day.

Sending Hogz away, Gooden returned to his study with the letter to open it.

As with the first letter, after it was opened, Olek's figure reappeared.

There was a hint of sigh on Olek's majestic face.

"The war in the north, your performance really surprised me, and I can't help but wonder if it was a wrong choice to let you go in the first place."

"But don't worry, I'm not coming to you again this time to return to the royal family, of course, if you want, the royal city is always open for you."

"Let's get down to business, the first battle in the north severely damaged the orc army, although the strength of the army only wiped out 800,000 people, but the extermination of the transcendental, this kind of record has never been seen in the history of the founding of the country."

"With such a magnificent achievement, your reward is naturally indispensable, come to the royal capital, as a hero of the empire, you should also receive the same celebratory gifts."

"If you still have hatred for me, you can also take this opportunity to make it clear, and I will explain to you what you want to know."

"Your father, Olek."

At the end of the short sentence, Olek's light and shadow vanished.

For his cheap daddy's words, Gooden fell into thought.

The first time I approached him, I wanted him to return to the royal family, which was a private matter, and it wouldn't be good if he refused.

The second time was that he went to the royal capital to receive the canonization, which was considered a business matter, so it was not easy to refuse.

If it weren't for the bastard relationship, Gooden might have just nodded and agreed to go.

But at the moment, counting this layer of relationship, it is a little tangled.

But after a moment of struggle, Goodern gave up thinking.

This trip to the royal capital to confer the medal is for his benefit, so why not go?

And this trip is also just the right time to see the scenery of the otherworld, so why not do it?

The development of Qingyuan Town has been on the right track, and the military protection forces have been able to protect themselves.

Even if he leaves for a while, there will be no chaos, and Gu Deen is already ready in his heart for the trip to the royal capital.

But for now, he still has to take care of some business before he leaves.

Arriving at the General Affairs Department, Goodern went to Joseph Sr.'s office and told him about his preparations for the royal capital.

Joseph Sr. was also surprised by Olek's invitation, but he was not surprised when Goodern gave the first letter.

"Go to the royal capital this time, you can come along, find a deputy to act for your work, and don't be so anxious about the work explanation, just deal with it slowly in the next two days."

"Okay."

At the invitation of the young master, old Joseph did not refuse, and nodded.

As old Joseph, who had come with him from the royal capital, he would have taken him with him on his return.

For the memory of the royal capital, Gooden does not have much in his mind, and after going to the royal capital, he still needs to bring a slightly familiar person to guide and introduce.

After arranging Joseph Sr., Goodern immediately went to the Academy.

It is estimated that it will take seven or eight days to go out this time at the earliest, and for such a long time, he has to arrange the work tasks in advance.

At the same time, the issue of trade in arms can also be arranged for the start of now.

Gather the personnel of all departments of the entire research institute, and Gooden will also distribute the adjustment tasks that have been prepared.

"There are now two routes in the research direction of Qingyuan Town, one is science and technology, and the other is magic technology, and the structure of the current research institute of the three major departments is too complex and the division of labor is not clear, and it is necessary to readjust the differentiation and belonging of the entire academy."

Goodern said, projecting the document using light magic, and continued to explain.

"The next research institute will be divided into three academies, the Academy of Science and Technology, the Institute of the Use of Magic, and the Academy of Military Science and Technology

。」

"At the same time, the institute is divided into two sub-branches, the department and the department, for example, the department of mechanical engineering is divided into the power research department, the structural research department, and so on."

"The positions to be adjusted have been set on the paper, if you have any objections, you can ask questions now, and I will explain."

The adjustment of the arrangement had been completed before, but it had not been taken out.

And now that I'm ready to go out, I'm going to put forward this process in advance and make adjustments.

Regarding the differentiation of positions in various departments, everyone in the research institute also raised a lot of questions after taking a closer look.

Gooden also answered the questions about the direction of the department's operation and the division of duties to them.

After some understanding, everyone had no doubts about such changes.

"Okay, let's dismiss the meeting, and start arranging the adjustment of the faculties, and the people from the original Magic Research Department and the personnel of the New Magic Weapons Research Department will stay, and there will be tasks to explain."

Goodern sent the rest of the group away, leaving the personnel of the weapons research department behind to arrange the work.

In the matter of selling weapons to the outside world, it is impossible to directly sell the existing three generations of magic rifles like this.

The weapons he asked for to be sold must be a grade and level lower than those he was currently in service, so as to prevent the other party from turning around and beating him after taking the weapon.

Although this is unlikely, it is also important to be prepared for such unnecessary dangerous preparation tasks.

The main person in charge of the Magical Weapons Research Department is Buck's protégé Pansy, who has shown a unique talent for this task.

For example, the development of the magic heavy machine gun and the development of the three generations of magic rifles are credited with him.

At the same time, he also participated in the whole process and made a lot of contributions to the research mission of magic communication.

"The current research mission of the fourth-generation rifle has reached that point?"

Looking at the people who remained, Gooden asked Pansy.

"The preliminary model design has been completed, but there has been no progress in the key research so far, and it is mainly stuck in the research on the use of operator recognition and accidental injury locking."

Hearing these two difficult questions, Goodern was not surprised.

The research line of the fourth-generation rifle is not to improve the performance of the weapon, but to improve the safety.

What is the greatest convenience of firearms and weapons?

Ease of operation.

Even if it's a teenager, you can use it after simple learning.

And if such a weapon is taken away and used for assassination, it is really impossible to prevent it.

This was also reflected in the last incident of refugees at the city gate.

If Goodern hadn't been prepared, he would have been half-crippled if not dead under the attack of an automatic rifle.

In order to prevent this from happening again, Gooden added two core mechanics to the four generations of weapon research tasks: operator identification and accidental damage locking.

The use of identifying the operator is somewhat similar to the use of storage magic weapons, using mental power or qi to bind, and outsiders cannot use it without matching.

In this way, the risk that ordinary people can use this weapon at will after obtaining it is avoided as much as possible. 藲礿尛裞網

At the same time, the mechanism of accidental damage locking is to prevent the last line of insurance that can be used to hit the black gun after being cracked.

If we talk about the difficulty of identifying the operator's research difficulty, then the research difficulty of accidental injury locking will reach ten stars.

After all, this thing has to contain the latest existing magic communication technology and various magic combinations, and it is very difficult to study.

"At present, the main task is to operate the identification project, and at the same time, there is a new task, using the second-generation rifle as a template to develop a foreign trade version."

"The range of the weakened weapon is controlled within 300 meters, the magazine capacity is reduced to six rounds, the firing mode is semi-automatic, and the rate of fire is 12 per minute."

"The research task is simple, give me a batch of finished products in two days."

This task is really an easy task for the current Weapons Research Institute, Pansy Point

After the head agreed, he immediately went to make arrangements.

After completing the arrangement of the research institute, Gooden also went to other places to start arranging follow-up tasks.

Research, military, people's livelihood, construction, and a lot of other things, Gooden was stunned for two days before arranging these things.

At the same time, the task of preparing to leave the royal capital has been completed, and the items that need to be brought have also been delivered to Gooden.

On the morning of December 27, after contacting Hogziz, Goodern took Joseph Sr., Erin, Hobert, and ten other guards to the royal capital on a griffin.

As for Gooden's biggest hole card, Noros temporarily stayed in Qingyuan Town to protect his family.

From Qingyuan Town to Wangdu, the straight-line distance in the air is more than 4,000 kilometers, and at the speed of a griffin, it will take a whole day to arrive.

Looking at the vast territory of the empire from the snow-capped background to the endless green mountains and forests to the endless plains and farmlands, Goodern can be regarded as having a clear understanding.

The First Empire of the Continent, this is really not blowing!
