Chapter 264: The Agricultural Revolution
"This was one of my ideas, I was going to use this chassis to make a combat vehicle. However, because of the limited power, if the crystal nucleus is the driving force. It will need to change the crystal nucleus frequently, and if it is powered by Dou Qi, it will need to occupy a dragon knight. And it is not strategic in itself. But if it is used to make tractors, it is different. In the rear of the war, it is easy to replace the crystal nucleus power core, and the crystal nucleus after charging can also be reused. And there is no armor that is too heavy, and the energy consumption is low. β
Long Yi was painting while explaining to everyone. And then everybody's eyes straightened, and the idea was crazy!
"But it's definitely more expensive!" said Morton, who woke up.
"I don't plan to sell it to farmers. Long smiled, "This thing can be purchased and manufactured by the state at its own expense, and then send special personnel to help farmers cultivate a large area." We have ploughing equipment, sowing equipment, harvesting equipment, and farmers just need to help take care of it. Freed from strenuous physical activity, farmers quickly fall in love with farming. And what the state pays, in addition to the small amount of money for these mere machines, is just the usual maintenance cost. But this small amount of money is nothing compared to the food security that the country receives. β
Everyone is stupid.
This man has already thought so far? What is he in his head! This guy who pretends to be stupid all day long is obviously so smart!
"Good!"
A cheer draws everyone's attention.
Everyone turned around, but it was Emperor Crane.
At this time. The young emperor looked at Long Yi excitedly. Crane looked at Long Yi with a complicated expression, but he didn't know how to speak. Ryuichi stands here and does everything. Every word he said was for the sake of this empire!
Crane knew one thing, at the beginning, his father had asked Ryuichi. 'Do you want to be emperor?' Ryuichi showed great impatience. But everything Long Yi has done proves that he is really a natural king! Compared with himself, Long Yi will make a country stronger!
Extremely powerful!
He wanted to be grateful to Ryuichi. But does Ryuichi need to be grateful? Seeing Ryuichi's expression that was already full of smiles, Crane himself laughed instead.
"Good!"
Crane just said another good word, but didn't say a word of nonsense.
If you have enough time. Maybe more than ten years later, no one in the White Dragon Empire will be able to shake it.
"Alright, your majesty is here too. I'll stop here for today's science work, the tractor is very interesting. If you're interested, you can try to figure out the powertrain first. But. The main thing we have at the moment is this set of combat armor, and at the same time we also need a certain amount of this fortification armor, let's check these two armors first. β
Ryuichi disassembled the two armors into parts, carefully examined the details of each part, and then assembled them one by one.
"Core!"
As soon as the dragon looked back at Magdeburg, Magdeburg Linko turned around and handed over a set of Imperial Standard Crystal Nucleus Power Source.
Yes, standard. Everything is made according to the standards proposed by Ryuichi.
Install, turn on.
Test.
It's easy to say. But it took Long Yiyi an afternoon.
"No problem! Let's mass produce!" Ryuichi announced.
Mortony's heart in his throat finally fell back, in a sense, this Ryuichi is really a very strict person. But it is this strictness that makes Ryuichi very appetizing for dwarves. According to Golden Hammer's evaluation of Long Yi, Long Yi is a person full of ingenuity.
After all, Long Yi is from a science and engineering background!
"At the speed of a dwarf, if you make it with all your might, how fast will it be?" Ryuichi asked.
"We are all waiting for news, and at the same time, we have stockpiled all kinds of rare metals, and the molds have been made, as long as I bring back the good news this time, I can at least guarantee to assemble three units a day!"
The dwarves announced.
"There is no need for polishing and rust prevention, no correction and grinding other than necessary places such as joints, and no quenching and annealing are required. Long Yi said.
"It's a waste of time in these places, and if you give them all up, you can assemble ten units a day!" Morton said.
"Let's go and negotiate the price with His Majesty the Emperor. Ryuichi said with a smile.
"This way, please. Emperor Crane immediately led Morton to a secret room, and Ryuichi entered with him.
The door was locked, and there were only three people in the room: Ryuichi, Morton, and the Emperor.
"We don't need money. Morton said.
"Uh, what are you doing?" Long Yi glanced at the emperor, who was just as puzzled as he was.
"Dwarves don't lack iron, but some of the rare metals used to make armor are expensive. If you can provide these rare metals, we can do it completely free. Of course, in fact, we are not really completely free, we still have some small conditions. Morton said with a smile.
"What conditions, you say. Crane said very politely.
"I know that the Black Dragon Empire is rich in ore veins and of excellent quality, and there are three extremely rare Mithril Mines, and we want to help you mine them. Morton said.
Crane was taken aback, and then smiled: "Uncle Morton, you are gambling that we will definitely be able to swallow the Black Dragon Empire." β
"No, I'm just betting on our Dragon One Elder. Morton said with a smile.
"That's not a lot of leverage. Ryuichi also smiled.
"Because we have trump cards. β
Morton and the Emperor looked at Long Yi at the same time and said.
The trio came out not long after entering the secret room, and apparently all three had made a deal. Long Yi was fine, and Crane's white face flushed with excitement. Obviously, the White Dragon Empire took a huge advantage in this deal!
Ten units of combat armor a day is 3,650 units a year! It will not take three years to form an armored army of 10,000 people!
Once the dragon knights in the sky begin to entangle, this armored army is simply invincible!
Butβcan you deal with the undead army of the Black Dragon Empire? Armor can only be built ten a day, but it can be dead. It's not just ten a day!
At this time, it was already completely dark, and Long Yi, the Emperor, and the Dean of Magdeburg were hurrying to the Spell Research Institute.
As soon as he opened the underground testing ground of the Spell Research Institute, there was immediately a heat wave.
I didn't walk a few steps through the hallway. The emperor was already too hot to stand it, and he was sweating profusely.
In the end, when Long Yi came to the test field, he saw a strange scene.
In the middle of the field were about a dozen lava giants more than three meters tall, and they were facing Xiao Zi in unison at this time. And Xiao Zi was helpless at these lava giants: "How can you not understand it! This is an attack order! This is a retreat order!"
In a corner of the venue, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Spell Research Institute were fanning vigorously in only shorts, as if they had just been fished out of the water. Sweat flowed far on the ground.
"Mentor Dinger. "Long Yi still likes to call Dinger as a mentor, which is more comfortable.
"Ryuichi! You're finally here!"
Dinger was about to burst into tears.
"Mentor, calm down, Mentor, don't touch me! Ah, I just bought a new dress from the Red Dragon Empire!"
Dinger finally took Dinger off himself, and Dinger, who calmed down, described the current situation to Ryuichi.
Originally. The manufacture of molten beasts has always been relatively smooth. The substitution of the lava core by crystal nuclei has also been verified and successful. As Long Yi saw it, they also succeeded in creating a batch of molten beasts, namely the lava giants.
But the problem arises.
These molten beasts almost completely do not listen to instructions. Very silly. Very stupid. The powers of the Spell Research Institute have almost exhausted all the options. But they still didn't come up with any countermeasures, and in the end they chose the only way.
Wait for Ryuichi.
To be precise, it is waiting for Xiaozi.
Today, Xiao Zi finally appeared, and they were full of joy and thought that Xiao Zi could have a way. But in the face of this group of stupid people, Xiao Zi is also at a loss. Xiao Zi's spiritual spells are effective against any living being, even molten beasts. However, these so-called molten beasts in front of them are not real molten beasts, they are copies made of crystal nuclei.
And Xiao Zi's spiritual spell turned out to be completely ineffective.
An afternoon. Xiao Zi tested various methods, and she also rechecked all the structures. These replicas are no different from the original lava core on a spell level. That's weird. Once it is not affected by spiritual spells, even if she is as smart as Xiaozi, she has no choice but to rely on on-site teaching, a method that even she doesn't believe in.
Fortunately, Ryuichi appeared.
Brother Long!
Xiao Zi floated over, her face full of frustration.
"It's okay, let me see. Long Yi touched Xiao Zi's head and comforted.
Xiao Zi nodded obediently.
As soon as the dragon appeared, all the molten beasts turned to him. Neither aggressive nor submissive, they are simply instinctively oriented towards it.
"Bajie, give me a dragon's breath armor. β
A mouthful of molten iron erupted, and Ryuichi's entire arm was protected by Dragon's Breath armor, and then, Ryuichi reached out and touched a molten beast. The power of the giant was slowly injected, and the molten beast moved, and then, regardless of why, everyone felt that the molten beast had obviously changed.
"Three steps forward. β
The molten beast that had been touched by the dragon took three steps forward.
"Take three steps back. β
So it took three more steps back.
"Sprint! Stop!"
Ryuichi's every instruction was responded to accurately.
"Stop. Long Yi said, then laughed, and said to Xiao Zi and Dinger, who had taken off only his shorts, "It's nothing, they just lack an owner." β
It turns out that the only reason why the molten beasts were so aggressive in the first place was because they had a commanding man. It's the pair of black dragon hearts. And these created molten beasts did not give them orders. In other words, there are few masters in their circle, so they just stand there instinctively without any instructions.
The dragon didn't know what to do, but the molten beast was originally born from the power of giants, and he was the holder of the power of giants. Because of this, the molten beast immediately regarded Ryuichi as its master.
"If you want them to be obedient, you need to prepare someone for them to issue orders, let me guess...... This person may at least be an Earth Dragon Knight. β
Long Yi said.
"But you also need to make these molten beasts obey the orders of the person who gave the order!" Dinger said in a slumbering voice.
"Well, maybe, we can try engraving. β
Long Yi said. (To be continued......)
