400. We have a steam engine and a horse-drawn carriage, wouldn't it be ... - [Added 7/10]
Meng Haha quickly went offline.
This scared the rest of the girls.
They had already heard what had just happened from the anxious little reed, and after hearing that Meng Haha had opened the calculation orb with her own hands, Mrs. Shui, who had always been unhurried, and Orchid Flower glanced at each other.
They both saw the seriousness and consternation in each other's eyes.
On the one hand, I was surprised that this physicist really had some ability, and it was only a few days after entering the game that I opened the notoriously complex arithmetic orb, and on the other hand, I was surprised that this girl was too reckless, right?
In fact, as far as they know, there are not many players in the game who have doubts about the authenticity of Translancia, but everyone maintains a superficial attitude and investigates slowly in private.
Only Meng Ha Ha Biao was keenly observed after entering the game and started to operate on it, she successfully did what many people wanted to do but did not dare to do, and now she seems to have paid a little "price" for this reckless behavior.
"Are physicists all rectums like this?"
Lumina complained angrily and anxiously:
"Sister cement is usually like this, when she encounters a problem, she can't help but want to solve it, and she doesn't want to wait for a minute or a second! This idiot took himself offline, I suspect he was banned? ”
"No, it's not."
Sister Pomegranate walked in from outside the tent and said to the other girls:
"I just called her, Moe Ha said that she was offline because of reality, there was something wrong in the laboratory that she needed to deal with, and it had nothing to do with the progress in the game, and she also said that because of her act of disassembling the orb, Master Murphy saw her potential and wrote her a letter of recommendation to join the eldest lady's psionic guild.
It's kind of triggered a hidden mission.
She told us not to worry about it, and we will be able to go live by tomorrow at the latest. ”
"Well, I see"
Xiao Wei Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she looked around, she noticed that everyone's expressions were not good.
"Who does she think she has fooled?"
For the first time, Mrs. Water showed such real dissatisfaction, she folded her arms and said to Sister Pomegranate with a solemn face like frost:
"I can accept the process of slowly making friends with strangers, and I can tolerate the quirks of others, but I can't accept this kind of insincere and unreal relationship. I don't want to keep this layer of window paper any longer, so I open the skylight and say something bright!
Pomegranate, you must immediately make this clear to your mysterious friend! Either she tells us who she really is, or she's leaving the Pride of the Silver Moon!
I can't put everyone else in danger because of her, and I don't want to ruin the place I've so hard to find to relax and unwind because of something that has nothing to do with me and that I don't care about.
May I? ”
Mrs. Water's tone was inquiring.
But judging from the frosty expression on her face at the moment, this is clearly an order that cannot be disobeyed.
Sister Pomegranate didn't want to snoop on her friend's secrets, so she hesitated, but Orchid Bumped her wrist and gave her a look.
Pomegranate could only nod helplessly.
Seeing Lady Water's rare anger, she was actually a little stunned, Pomegranate and everyone here knew very well that the Silver Moon Pride Regiment was established by Lumina, but she was not the real core of this team.
At present, Mrs. Water is leading the team and shouldering the role of "parent".
But soon Sister Pomegranate didn't need to hesitate, and less than ten minutes after the team meeting ended, her phone rang.
After connecting, I heard Meng Haha say on the other side:
"I'm sorry, I'm sure I've got you in trouble for my reckless behavior today, I don't even have to think about it to know what you'll be complained about by your hidden companion, and I won't be online for the next few days.
I'm going on a trip to the capital.
There was a high-level urgent question meeting where I was required to attend as a witness, and the good news was that there was an immediate progress on the part of the matter after I joined, and the bad news was that I didn't really like to see this sudden 'progress' myself. ”
"Huh?"
Sister Pomegranate was stunned, and she asked:
"What the hell is going on! You tell me clearly, why is this happening all of a sudden?"
"Don't ask, Pomegranate, don't ask."
Moeha's voice was full of exhaustion from overthinking and startling, and she whispered:
"I'll make it clear to you when I get back, and let Lumina pack up her things and go home immediately! Don't delay. ”
"But Mrs. Water's private jet can't go over now, can't apply for a route and can't take off, and air traffic control is enforced over there because of the pandemic."
"The embassy will arrange a return route for her tonight, and someone will contact her, remember what I told you, and let her not ask more, just follow the instructions."
At the same time, in the office of the First National Arsenal of Translasia, Brother Loyalty was ready to go offline with a painful face.
He didn't know what was wrong, but a call from his immediate superiors made him and his crew immediately leave for the capital with all the information about the Real Otherworld.
Depend on!
Something must have happened.
Which "cutie" did this! I'm almost done with this drawing.
——
Murphy didn't know what kind of waves his "improvisation" had caused in another world, and he didn't even see it as something that needed attention.
After a little "warning" of the daring Mohaha, with a mischievous pleasure, Lord Murphy took a circle around his territory with rare interest.
Now the whole of Transncia is his territory, and no one can stop him from going wherever he wants, but the problem is that there are not many places to play in Transncia at the moment.
As far as the Scarlet Keep is being rebuilt, it is already the most "prosperous" place in Transancia, and the loneliness and dilapidation of other places can be imagined.
At present, the deal between Hogg and Plaguetown has not been completed, the construction of the defensive line near the swamp has not yet started, and the population search and construction in the territory are steadily advancing, and at the current pace, it should be possible to secure a place to live before winter.
Murphy suddenly found himself idle.
It's a great feeling that everything is on track and moving smoothly, and while the crisis in Sico and the Filthy Swamp still exists, it's okay to do it in a way that has been resolved.
"I have 700 free spots right now."
Murphy stretched his wings in the air to soar in the twilight, and he calculated:
"Releasing 50 per week can last until the arrival of the Black Plague, and the current population of the territory is still increasing, and when the last two months come, this number can be appropriately relaxed, 100 per week!
Well, it was decided.
According to Miriam's statistics, it normally takes about half a month for new players to enter the process of the Black Iron Trial, which means that the ambition of having 2,000 Black Iron Warriors to form an elite Ranger when the Black Plague arrives is not unattainable.
Finally, fate favored me again, and everything was fine! ”
Murphy wanted to laugh unbridled in the air.
But he didn't do it in the end because of his decency and personality, and he planned to go back to the cloister to find Tracy for a "date" tonight after going around a few farms.
Lately, Tris doesn't know what she's doing, and she's been locked up in her lab.
God mysterious.
It's good that I don't want to disturb her, but it's always like this, and if you leave, it will seem that the relationship is weak, so let's get two bottles of good wine and celebrate with the Scarlet Witch tonight.
"You believe me! Investing in my project is definitely not risky, I have a complete plan and have already started to prepare the physical production, I need your support now. ”
As Murphy flew over the village of Pride of the Lion, his keen perception led him to hear a conversation from the village chief's office.
The conversation immediately caught Murphy, the curious vampire lord, who silently landed and hid on the roof of the village chief's office, listening intently to the voices coming from within.
In the office where a few gas lamps were lit to make it look like daylight, the village chief of the Lion King's Pride Village, the pink cat and the rabbit, was holding a black cat that he didn't know where it came from, posing like a godfather, sitting on a chair and listening to the description of the uninvited "guest" in front of him.
And the one who came to visit the village elder was the son of the all-risk half-hung elder brother, one of the "three general stars of administrative players".
The story of this guy running to the game to "find his relatives for thousands of miles" has become a meme on the forum, and has become one of his black histories, along with the story of him being stabbed in the ass by the Skeleton Army for the first time he participated in the battle.
Every time Vomit Mud-chan pops up on the forum, someone will tease him about it, which makes Vomit Mud-chan tired of it.
However, despite having fulfilled the mother's request, finding his unreliable father in the game, and successfully resolving the precarious family problem, a new problem has emerged.
That is, the "Internet addiction" of the all-risk half-hung brother has not been cured, and the vomiting mud sauce has also been infected with a new "Internet addiction".
He now spends almost all of his time except going to work and eating in Transnesia, not only finding himself a position as a logistics officer in the administrative department, but also making a breakthrough at the combat career level.
He was already a level 10 hunter, and he only needed to polish his skills and collect equipment to start his own black iron trial.
But at the moment, the energy of vomiting mud sauce is obviously not on the improvement of skills, he will hold the plan in his arms with bright eyes, and persuade the smiling pink cat and rabbit in front of him:
"You believe me, Brother Rabbit, my plan is absolutely fine!"
"I understand, and I believe in your expertise."
The very calm and sleek pink cat cat cat rabbit stroked the black cat pet named "Pochi" that he picked up from the wild with a sense of depression, and asked curiously:
"But what I'm more curious about is, why did you come to me to invest in this genius idea? It stands to reason that you should find Xiao Wei Ming or Xiao Fu Brother first, I'm obviously very low-key. ”
"Hey, other people don't know your Brother Rabbit's prestige, can we administrative players still not know? You're the only one who can be retained by Archon Miriam, right? ”
Grunning, he said:
"Of course, I also asked my dad and his advice to me was to find you the best way, because the direction you set for your village is logistics and transportation, and your need for vehicles is the largest of all players and NPCs.
I'm going to have to show this good idea to someone with a discerning eye.
Aren't you the best 'angel investor' I can find right now?" ”
"Oh, half-hung brother's suggestion? No wonder that. ”
Mao Maotu nodded, and he took the drawings handed by the mud sauce and opened them to look at them, and then frowned, and said:
"I'm not a vehicle professional, but how is this truck you designed different from what I imagined it to be! Is it necessary to add coal to such a chimney when driving? ”
"Yes, it's actually the principle of steam trains."
Vomit mud sauce stepped forward to explain to the cat and the rabbit:
"You see, I put a high-power boiler in the position of the engine, although the thermal efficiency of the steam engine on our side is far inferior to the internal combustion engine, but on the other side, because of the miraculous gold-burning catalyst, the thermal efficiency of the steam engine has made a qualitative leap.
It can even be compared to the power of the third-generation internal combustion engine.
And don't look at this thing as unreliable, but in fact I have consulted professionals in this area, and the Earl of Sharon has definitely told me that there have not been a few vicious explosions in the hundreds of years when people have used steam engines.
The property of that burning gold is truly amazing!
It can not only be used as a catalyst to enhance the efficiency of the steam engine, but also stabilize the high temperature and high pressure inside it so that it will not react violently.
In short, I didn't just take a picture from the Internet to cheat the investment, you believe me, this design drawing was drawn by me.
It's not the same truck we use and it's a bit weird, but I'm sure that as long as it's up and running, your village won't have to worry about vehicles anymore.
We're going to modernize the logistics industry, right?
You can't let your villagers drive donkey carts to deliver couriers and mail, right? ”
Pink Cat Cat Rabbit didn't answer immediately.
He looked at the blueprint and the rather detailed plan in front of him rather cautiously, and after a few minutes, he put down the plan and looked at the mud sauce, and said:
"But you've deliberately avoided the most important question, where did the steam engine come from? Translasia's current level of industry can't do that. You see, I actually did my research before I decided to get involved in the postal and logistics industry.
If you want to build trucks in bulk, you'll have to find a supplier that can provide you with a steady supply of steam engines, either from the Plantagenet Kingdom to the Capetian family or to the Genoa Peninsula for halflings.
Both objects have one thing in common, distant and expensive!
According to your plan, the profit you can get from each car will be compressed to the extreme, which is basically equivalent to not making money, and if you can't make money in business, you can only keep losing money.
I guess you must have asked the Administration for a startup grant before you approached me, but it was rejected by Archon Miriam, right?
Look at!
The NPCs here are really smart.
Problems that I can see, they can see too. ”
The cat shook her head and said:
"If you can't solve this problem, then all your plans, no matter how good they are, will only stay on paper.
Trust me, I'm hungry for new vehicles more than anyone else, but that's no reason for me to casually squander the first pot of gold I've so hard to save.
If you want me to invest in you, you'll have to come up with a practical solution. ”
"I can make one out of my hands!"
Gritting his teeth, he said:
"Not according to the standards of halflings, I have seen the steam engine sent to the arsenal by the Capet family, it is too cumbersome and complicated, we directly use the mature design of our side, and modify it to add a placement point of gold catalyst
Well, I'll be honest, Brother Bunny.
I've invited a couple of engineers from our factory to come over and do something big, and they've all filled out test applications, but our 'Transencia Winterwind Vehicle Plant' now needs start-up capital. ”
“!”
Maomao Rabbit was taken aback, and he subconsciously asked in a low voice:
"Your factory is a state-owned enterprise, will this cause you trouble?"
"No, everyone is just playing in their spare time, besides, even if you take those drawings in our factory, you can't make such a precise product if you let a halfling come."
The machining accuracy is too far behind.
That's a special car. ”
Muddy Sauce waved his hand disapplauded.
He gave the bottom to the cat and the rabbit, and the latter no longer hesitated, he opened the drawer and took out a black psionic bag from it, put it in front of the mud sauce, and said:
"I can't use the public money of the village, it is to be set aside for the construction of roads and hotels, this is my private sponsorship of you, let's sign a contract.
After your Winter Wind Vehicle Factory has officially completed the design and manufacture of the truck, you will sell it to us at a preferential price first. ”
"But there's going to be a war."
Vomiting mud sauce said with some pain:
"I estimate that once the war starts, no matter how much production capacity on our side is there, it will be transferred to the military."
"That's an unexpected situation that I can accept."
Cat Mao Rabbit squinted his eyes and smiled and said:
"If Transencia doesn't exist, what's the use of making more money? I don't think the wolf girl or the King Louis will treat us losers and refugees favorably, and I don't want to be a slave to the country, and I don't want to be ridiculed as a homeless exile, so I suggest that you design your vehicles in the direction of the military industry.
So if I were you, I wouldn't go to the administration office to apply for a grant to start a business, I would go directly to Master Maxim and go through the military's order to get enough R&D funds.
Medieval steampunk motorized infantry, tsk, it feels good when you think about it, right?
But Master Maxim is a very stubborn man, and if you want to convince him, you have to come up with something in kind, and believe me, this is the way you vehicle engineers should go. ”
Murphy, who was hiding on the roof, listened to the Pink Cat Rabbit below to Muddy Sauce's pointing, his expression rather strange.
His own little player really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Speaking of which, the secret reports he received from Adele showed that the chiefs of the five collective farms seemed to be being strung together, as if they wanted to twist into a rope to bring about the birth of a political group.
I used to think that it was Lao Huo secretly doing something, but now it seems that the real "mastermind" is you, the low-key village chief of the Lion King's Pride Village, right?
Good!
Ambitious! Energetic!
Want to be the Second Archon of Transnesia?
No problem!
The position is there, behave well and fight for it.
Murphy grinned silently and flew into the night sky, flapping his wings in the dim moonlight to look back at the brightly lit office below.
"I'm staring at you, come on, my Atlas warriors!"
