Section 123 Mogul Merchant Group (10)

The teleportation light door of the Titania Teleportation Hall stood in front of him, Solomon looked around, Agatha couldn't help but clench Solomon's hand, obviously a little nervous, but looking at the expression in her eyes, it should be a little excited at the same time.

For this young girl, who had been protected by her father and teacher for a long time, now following her lover's adventurous life, she has always been like a happy bird.

Of course, she was an unexpected nuisance, but fortunately she listened to Solomon, and Gera was there.

Poor Gela, who was originally tasked with protecting Solomon, was now assigned by Solomon to be responsible for the safety of the beautiful girl around him.

The people in front had already entered the portal of light one by one and started the journey of Fadell.

Solomon and the other three deliberately fell last, and only entered the portal of light last.

In Titania's teleportation hall, most of the teleportation light gates still maintain the old teleportation mode, that is, they use high-energy but rare magic crystals to provide source power, which causes most portals to still have a high teleportation threshold.

Solomon: The portal they entered and went to the Fadell plane this time was an old-style portal, and it required warriors and mages of a certain strength to go safely.

Of course, this does not mean that Titania is still at the level of three years ago.

In fact, several new portals have been built in the teleportation hall, and three years ago, the Asturias sent a large number of troops to Farusion and Eukerraar with the portal after lowering the teleportation threshold, reversing the unfavorable situation in one fell swoop, gaining a firm foothold in Eugudrar, abandoning the constraints and restrictions of the Church of Light, and in Farusion, it was the most direct impact on Titania, forcing the two countries to divide the interests in the form of negotiations. If it weren't for lowering the teleportation threshold. You can only rely on old-style teleportation. The elite forces that Titania could send to Farusion were Asturians.

However, when the shape shì became Titania, which could only use the old type of teleportation, which was limited to the delivery of elite forces, and the Asturians could use the new type of teleportation to send a large number of secondary armies to fight together, the form shì became different, forcing the titania to make concessions.

Otherwise, if Titania must want to monopolize interests, it must be prepared to be consumed by the Asturians with numerical superiority.

Therefore, after the war, even the Asturians tried to limit secret spying as much as possible. But the Mage's Guild can serve the Asturians as well as the Titania, and all you need is to pay the price that satisfies them.

What's more, the Wizards' Guild itself is also very interested in breaking through the old restrictions and creating a new type of teleportation, since the Asturians can't completely abandon the cooperation of the Magicians Guild for the subsequent use of Black Rock, then the Magicians' Guild that gets the secret will almost inevitably sell the secret in order to get back the cost paid for it from interested countries.

At most, in order to maintain a superficial commitment to the Asturians, the Mage's Guild will approximately ask for countries or forces with which they have exchanged benefits. It is forbidden to study publicly for a certain period of time, lest the annoyed and angry Asturians ask the Sorcerers' Guild for their crimes.

So actually. Except for the fact that the relationship with the Wizards Guild is not good, and the Saxons with the Church of Light in the middle don't know if they have secretly exchanged with the Wizards Guild, other countries may have taken action one after another.

The clearest evidence of this is that in the months following the Battle of Farusion, the nations began to search for black rock or similar minerals in their own borders, and invited some Dwarven artisans to visit their own wèn.

As a result, steam equipment and blast furnaces began to appear outside of Asturias, and the Asturians were too late to ask the dwarves not to leave the country at will and to serve other countries.

Most of the Dwarves have become accustomed to their habitat in Asturias, but there are still some Dwarven artisans who have been lured or forced to stay in their country by other countries.

Fortunately, Asturias also knows that the secret of Black Rock will not be able to be monopolized forever, and some of the previous obstacles just want to delay the research progress of other countries and maintain their own lead.

Therefore, with the assistance of some dwarven craftsmen, and the participation of mages in their own countries (even if they are lacking, they can also be rescued by the mage's guild, but the additional cost will be higher), all countries have begun to combine the use of machinery and black rock on the path of magic.

The side effect of the path of magic guidance is that the mechanical technology that was previously suppressed by the magical civilization will be developed with the teaching of the dwarves, and the use of the shallow use of the black rock to generate steam power and the convenience brought by the machinery will not immediately change the direction of the military power of the countries, and there will be no inverted reform, even if there are already people, such as Solomon, who are already using the fire gun to arm the dwarves in the black rock plane.

The reason is very simple, because this world is a high-magic world, even if there are civilizations in other directions, but the civilization model and development direction that Solomon was once familiar with do not necessarily occupy an absolute advantage here.

What's more, the dwarves in this world who have high achievements in the direction of mechanical civilization have not reached the level of material civilization that Solomon crossed the previous world, and with the defeat of the dwarves in the race hegemony, they have been greatly suppressed.

Now borrowing corpses to resurrect souls, a lot of Cheng dù is because Black Rock helps solve the teleportation threshold problem that has plagued everyone for many years, and the unexpected exhibition.

Therefore, the exhibition of steam power and mechanical technology has a clear impact on ordinary citizens, businessmen, and manufacturing workshops.

For those creatures at the top of the pyramid of power in this world, their role is to be used as a substitute for magic crystals until they are also stored in abundance.

Since the research and use of Black Rock has formed a trend and has been cracked by various countries, it is not very difficult to successfully copy and refine the magic power in it as the source force to lower the threshold of teleportation.

The most critical difficulty is still in the supply, or reserves.

Because the application of black rock is based on low price, compared with the magic crystal, it is as low as the cost. Then use the advantage of quantity to refine the magic power that can be compared to the magic crystal for alternative use. Dwarven mechanical technology isn't the only way to refine the magic in Black Rock. It is also possible to do it with magic, but at a much higher cost.

And with the mechanical technology of the dwarves, it can also generate additional steam power, which can share the cost of refining the magic in the black rock.

But no matter how low the cost is, there is always a problem of reserves, and without enough supply, no matter how good the prospect is, it will be in vain.

So compared to the Asturians, other countries. Even Titania has always lagged behind in the application of steam power and mechanical technology.

Because the Asturians also have a clear advantage in this regard, the other nations do not have the current reserves that are as rich as the supply of the Black Rock plane, but only a few small veins.

However, it is impossible for the countries not to continue to explore and explore, hoping to find a satisfactory black rock vein, because if they give up, they can only watch the Asturians take advantage of the use of black rock to lower the teleportation threshold, which has obvious benefits for military placement in the heteroplane and trade of merchants.

Take the teleportation mode that can only teleport creatures of the third order or above, or ordinary people in the shuttle car. How can it compare to competing with the new type of teleportation in Asturias that almost allows ordinary people to teleport at will? And the most terrifying thing is. This gap is likely to grow.

Of course, this does not mean that other countries cannot apply the new mode of teleportation at all.

For example, a new type of teleportation gate based on the use of black rock as the source power must have been built in the Titania Teleportation Hall, but due to the problem of the supply of black rock, the source power source of this teleportation light gate is insufficient.

Like Titania, the path taken is to imitate Asturias, that is, to sell the Black Rock to the merchants, and then ask the merchants to build workshops or other facilities that can consume the Black Rock within a specified area, and the empire can provide some support in mechanical technology.

In this way, merchants can use mechanical technology and share the fruits of Black Rock's use, expand their workshops and production, and earn higher profits.

The magic generated by consuming the black rock will be collected from the inner wall of the steam facility and transmitted to the teleportation hall through the magic patterns that Guò has pre-laid in advance, becoming the source power of the teleportation light gate.

If Titania did not do as well as Asturias, it was that its domestic aristocracy was more influential than the current Asturias, and there were certain resistances, such as they occupied a large amount of suitable land, but some of them insisted on being his country gentleman or lord of the estate, dividing the land into small plots, and even renting most of them to different people for cultivation in a coherent manner, and refusing to try to invest in crafts and workshops like merchants who were receptive to new things, and the latter could use mechanical technology and steam facilities to get magic from the black rock。

Asturias has done a better job in this step, which is difficult for other countries to achieve, but there are also special reasons.

First of all, Solomon certainly gained the friendship and trust of a group of new and increasingly influential merchants, and Kindleberg, who supported Solomon in his promotion, and also benefited enough from it, and the exemplary effect made more handicraft merchants join and accept.

The country gentry and the lords of the manor are thanks to the Hidden Alliance, Solomon helped the vampires to set up banks, and the vampires' actions were a collective action of a group from top to bottom, and they went from concealing their identities to semi-openly getting involved in the financial industry, which was not only a process of "whitewashing" in identity, but also a process of "whitewashing" in capital.

Even if Asturias turns a blind eye (as long as it's good for the country), it takes a process to put it on the table, so the transformation of the vampires in the Hidden Alliance from country gentlemen and manor owners to active investors in new industries seems very radical to outsiders, and it is a little difficult to understand why some of these people, who should have been the most conservative in the change, can be transformed so easily.

Although the blood clans of the Hidden Alliance are only a small part of the base of this kind of conservatives, because the Hidden Alliance's process of carrying out this kind of capital "whitewashing" and then investing in the bank is a collective action, the momentum is different.

As a result, for a period of time, there were relatively conservative manor owners all over Asturias, and suddenly they were quite trendy to transform into workshop owners, which played a leading role.

At the same time, due to the pressure of the previous foreign war, the great nobles gave in to the royal family, and the two sides succeeded in compromising and forming a joint mechanism, and the checks and balances and distribution of power were put in the parliament and cabinet to gamble, and the resistance of the nobles to this change was much smaller.

Therefore, Titania could not carry out a relatively unified plan like Solomon did for Asturias, and set up complementary simple "industrial parks", which could save exhibition costs, and objectively also make the use of Black Rock more widely and more acceptable, and the more Black Rock magic power was obtained.

Due to these limitations, in fact, Titania's new teleportation light gate is not as popular as Asturias, and Asturias has transformed almost every heterotopic portal that maintains the registration and coexistence of Zài in the teleportation hall into one that can use the magic of black rock as the source force.

Titania, on the other hand, had only modified the most important heterotopic portals of the empire so far in order to ensure that a large number of important places could be put and opened.

It is precisely because of the benefits that Titania also hopes to find black rock reserves comparable to those of Asturias, and other countries also hold this hope. (To be continued!)
