Chapter 190: Knightly War
For money, Zhou Zhongmou doesn't have any desire, and this world has nothing to be nostalgic for him - except for Misha, the two have been together for a long time, and they can already be regarded as an old adulterer and adulteress. The reason why I sell arms and make a lot of money is just to find something to do and feel like I'm playing a Sims or SimCity game.
The fact is similar, after having a large amount of money, Zhou Zhongmou never hid it in his palace, "For me from the earth, the basic attribute of money is not to dig a pit in the ground and hide it to flow! "This guy paid the city dwellers to start building large public facilities, and he did everything he learned from the game -- from huge underground waterways to erected aqueducts, to renovated neighborhoods and small squares and fountains in each neighborhood. The war on the mainland went on for six months, and the civic design of the black tower on the island of Remiret was also carried out for six months - before construction began.
In the drawings, Zhou Zhongmou drew a lot of things, densely packed with huge and spacious waterways--it is a pity that there are only 50,000 or 60,000 people in this city, what is it to design a sewer that can march in it?Tall aqueducts--Speaking of which, there are lakes and rivers next to the black towers, and they are specially pumped from the flat ground to high places, and then a cistern is built, and then the gypsum stone diversion canals are used to attract them, and it seems that it is a superfluous move to tear down the residential buildings that come again? Although Zhou Zhongmou is considered a great dictator, he really has no intention of doing this, but there is nothing wrong with the small square and fountain. And many public facilities are actually to satisfy his own YY - such as the Colosseum, the Grand Theater and the like, after this kind of thing is built, it will definitely be a pit of money. There is no nation on the entire continent that likes to watch the beasts. In the case of the Grand Theater, there is no need for 50,000 or 60,000 people -- rather than spending a lot of money to build a big one. It is better to build a few more small theaters distributed in different urban areas.
And the technology required for these large buildings is also a challenge. Among them, the mechanical calculation of the building structure is not the type that Zhou Zhongmou is good at, and those dragons who like architecture also have a bit of a headache - because Zhou Zhongmou designed Gothic or Baroque buildings that they had never seen before, and these dragons were really confused about these large houses with complex stress structures. Fortunately, the design that Zhou Zhongmou came up with next was something that the dragons could do - a huge Romanesque public bath. It's just that this qiē will not be done until the sewers and aqueducts are completed. Speaking of which, the original aqueduct of the Black Tower was very rudimentary, and in most cases the residents used their own wells dug in the ground to obtain daily water, and only to complete the water supply of the industrial area, an aqueduct was built a few years ago to bring fresh water from the lake, but this is not suitable for daily drinking - this thing is to dig a trench in the ground. There is no cleanliness and hygiene.
There is no shortage of money for these big projects - Zhou Zhongmou has recently earned Mark Mark by selling arms, and this guy does not have the kind of old moldy and rotten Cheng Dù who is ready to hide the money in the wilderness - most of the money has been gold coins these days, but there have also been so-called negotiable coupons and the like. And this guy has no difference between public accounts and private accounts - this is completely different from the mainland, this product pursues the concept that my money is the money of the treasury, and the money of the treasury is my money, this very old concept Zhou Zhongmou is not stingy, and the dragons have no concept of this, so there is no problem with this product messing around with national finance. For example, this product has recently imported a lot of extravagant gadgets, except for use in their own palaces, the rest is freely given to the people in the city. That's it. The large sums of money paid by the countries to buy the magic armor and then the purchase of luxury goods through guò came back in part - just for this reason. Several countries did not stop the production of certain luxury goods, and did not levy certain artisans into the army.
The countries of the continent have not stopped for a moment in cracking the Demon Equipment, but no matter how hard they try, the three things of the Magic Transformation Engine, artificial muscles, and artificial brains are always a hurdle that cannot be bypassed. In the case of artificial brains, the Duchy of Belken, which has the most advanced technology, has been able to make things that are almost the same - the problem is that the giant insects used in the raw materials are too few in the territory of the Duchy of Berken, and they are considered rare creatures. But there is no way to make artificial muscles - they can't breed that rare fungus, so although they can preliminarily decipher the principle and production method of artificial muscles, the lack of raw materials makes it impossible to imitate them. And the most important and the most core, the magic conversion engine that countries are most eager for, is not a clue, it is completely impossible to crack, it cannot be imitated, and the only way is to buy it from Zhou Zhongmou.
Recently, the battle between the magic-equipped soldiers has become the mainstream on all fronts, and the infantry on the ground are trapped in the defensive line, enduring the artillery fire coming from the rear of the opposite side. In some alchemy documentaries that Zhou Zhongmou saw, the density of these artillery fires could not be compared with the First World War on the earth, but this was already an unprecedented artillery density on this continent, and the current situation was that the infantry was holding the defensive line, but from time to time they would surprise the opposing defensive line, and at this time, there would be a magic machine battle overhead or on the surface of the front line. The plurality of Knights in Costume pilots the Knights in Costume on the battle line like classical knights in one-on-one and squad-to-squad combat. In such battles, every now and then, a Demonic Suit will be shot down. Or take a fairly severe injury.
As a weapon, the Magic Suit is quite perfect. Not only does logistics require less time and materials, but even if you are injured, repairs are relatively simple. This thing was originally a half-life, as long as the skeleton was welded, the fractured surface of the artificial muscle was bonded with matching nutrients and alchemy, and then the nerves of the metal wires were reconnected, and after a while, it would be repaired. Of course, the carapace can also be handled in this way, unless it hurts the cockpit, other parts of the body such as hands and feet, and puncture wounds can be repaired in this way - and with the magic shield, it is not easy to inflict such damage. As for the damage to the cockpit, it's better to scrap it.,The rest of the parts are used as maintenance materials and spare parts--anyway, in this case, the magic knight in it is basically hung up.,In addition, only the magic conversion engine that hurts the chest and back can cause irreparable damage.,Even if it hurts the artificial brain in the body below the neck, it can still be repaired.。
In this case, basically half of the downed magic armor soldiers fell from a coma caused by mental oppression in battle, and out of the classical knightly demeanor, the general opponent rarely swooped down to make up for it - "In fact, their war has not yet expanded, and they have not yet become war beasts, so that's it." Zhou Zhongmou said. The rest half of them are basically unable to fly and fall, at which point the infantry on the ground will desperately move out to retrieve the fallen knights and capture as many of the opponent's knights as possible - in many cases, if the battle is controlled after the opponent has been shot down, then they don't mind diving down and capturing the downed opponent. That is, these so-called children of the nobility, for whom war is still in a classical state - that is, they are allowed to pay a ransom to redeem their freedom, but their own magic soldiers cannot redeem it.
