Chapter 242 Funding

Images of countless hairy and stinky rice dumplings running around on the construction site appeared in his mind. Zhao Yinshun shuddered and silently gave up on this bold idea.

There are indeed corpse control spells in the supernatural world, but no one has ever used them on a large scale in daily life. There must be a reason for this.

The simplest thing is that the people can’t accept it!

If you bring the tauren and the like to plow the land, it will be a novelty for everyone to see.

You have a pile of pus-covered, rotten and stinking rice dumplings running around on the city construction site. No living creature can bear this scene.

This is not only a psychological problem, but also a physical conflict.

The corpse energy and yin energy of undead creatures are naturally in conflict with living creatures. If they are put together forcefully, both parties will feel uncomfortable.

Over time, the yin and yang qi will corrode and pollute each other, and one of the two will gradually decline.

In addition, undead creatures have no intelligence or subjective initiative, and must be controlled by someone at all times.

It's fine on a small scale, but how many professional supernatural beings will be needed to control hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of undead creatures in the future?

It’s not enough to put all those people playing with corpses in [Maoshan] and [Demon Gate] together!

In addition, the most important point is that the cost-effectiveness of using undead biological labor is too low!

To make a rice dumpling work non-stop every day instead of hiding underground and sleeping, the amount of blood food required is not a small amount, enough to feed seven or eight living animals!

Undead creatures are not perpetual motion machines. You can let them bury them underground to absorb the Yin Qi and recharge them for a few months, and then engage in a short, high-intensity battle.

Should we let them work non-stop every day under the sun?

I don’t have the ability to know!

With a regretful sigh, Zhao Yinshun put the matter aside for the time being.

"Let's discuss this issue later. Now, except for some sensitive people, everyone else can be drafted for labor to meet construction needs first."

"In addition, we can increase our recruitment efforts. What we lack now is time, not money, you know?"

"yes."

Taking Zhao Yinshun's words to heart seriously, Zhou Rou respectfully left the study.

Immediately afterwards, a group of old men and women with blond hair and blue eyes walked in cautiously, imitating the actions of the leader and saluting.

"Sir, I come at your call."

Zhao Yinshun's eyes lit up when he saw the group of new faces behind Tim.

"Tim, are they?"

"Sir, they are all masters who came to Luzhou at my invitation. This is Hank Amy, the sixth-level [Metal Controller]."

"Hank Amy, my lord."

He clumsily bowed his hands, but before he could bend down, his eyes suddenly blurred. A young man in white clothes a few meters away had already stood in front of him, holding his hand kindly.

"Master, you don't have to be polite. [Liu Yin Fengguo] is thirsty for talents. From now on, you can just treat this place as your home."

Looking up and looking around, the young man who was so handsome to a supernatural level showed a breathtaking and brilliant smile. Even though these old men and women were strong-minded, they could not help but be slightly moved.

This monarch is so kind and kind, not as scary as Tim said...

The nervousness in their hearts quickly faded away. Under the enthusiastic greeting of the young man, everyone took their seats in the study room one by one, and the atmosphere gradually became warm.

After chatting for a while, bearing in mind that these were all extraordinary beings at the lowest level of the fourth level, Zhao Yinshun steered the conversation to the right track without leaving any trace.

"Tim, have you seen the ironclad I captured?"

"We've all seen it, and it's all relatively backward technology, so it's not difficult at all."

"Oh? Then if I want to upgrade all my battleships into stronger ironclads, can you do it?"

Hearing this, the eyes of all the old men and women present lit up, obviously showing a hint of unbearable joy.

Hmm... It's good that scientific researchers don't have the scheming minds of politicians...

Nodding secretly in his heart, Zhao Yinshun observed everyone's reactions and vaguely guessed the answer.

"It's no problem, sir. It just requires a lot of supporting facilities, and it may take a little time... and money."

Is it a little bit or a hundred million points?

Rubbing his chin, Zhao Yinshun pursed his lips thoughtfully, smiled and nodded.

“What facilities are needed?”

"We need a professional steelmaking plant. Damin's current small workshop is okay for making cold weapons, but it absolutely cannot support the consumption of large war machines."

Before Tim could answer, Hank Amy couldn't help but speak.

"I learned about it. The entire steel production in Luzhou is less than 10,000 tons. Most of it is pig iron and crude steel. The enchanted metal that meets the ship armor level is less than 1%. The total is not enough to arm a small boat...

…”

Before he finished speaking, another old lady shook her head with a solemn look.

"No, the shipyard is the top priority. Linbo City only has one refining shipyard of less than 5,000 tons. Slightly damaged warships can be repaired slowly on their own. Those seriously injured warships have no berths at all. If left alone, they will soon be repaired.

'die'."

"NO, NO, NO, the development of naval guns is the top priority. The reason why the losses are so serious this time is because the power of gunfire cannot penetrate the enemy's armor!"

"Haha, without rigorous and mature battleship design, all you talk about is castles in the air. Funds should be given priority to the development of battleships!"

………………

The heated argument gradually escalated, and by the end, even Tim was blushing and shouting, fearing that his project would be defunded.

This is related to their class progress!

Listening calmly to these old men and women arguing with each other, Zhao Yinshun pondered for a long time and spoke softly.

"Everyone..."

The calm and magnetic voice instantly calmed down the quarrel. Everyone noticed his gaffe and fell silent in embarrassment.

"What you all said makes sense, so I am going to take out one million gold yuan and let you start the preliminary work first..."

As soon as these words came out, the excitement of more than a dozen legendary extraordinary people affected reality, and ripples of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye rippled throughout the study.

"The specific allocation amount depends on the funding application form you submit, but as long as the acceptance of each stage is passed, I can set no upper limit for subsequent funds."

boom!

When the words "no upper limit" came out of Zhao Yinshun's mouth, everyone present could not hide their excitement, and their eyes were filled with excitement.

Seeing their extremely high morale, Zhao Yinshun nodded with satisfaction, and then prepared to hang a Sword of Damocles over their heads.

After all, he doesn't want to see a coffee pot that costs $5,000 or a goat that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"By the way, let me introduce you to the director of the funding application department. All your future applications will ultimately need to be signed and approved by her."

Looking at this group of excited old men and women with a smile, Zhao Yinshun called softly.

"Yani."

Quietly, a plump and charming figure slowly appeared on the chair next to his desk. The gorgeous and complicated crown mask covered most of her cheeks, and she was observing everyone with a smile.

Their hearts suddenly became solemn, and everyone felt an indescribable line of sight penetrate their flesh and blood, looking straight into their hearts, revealing all the deepest secrets in their minds.

Who is this?

Has she always been sitting in that position?

Why didn’t we discover her before??!

As they secretly exchanged glances, everyone felt their scalps numb and inexplicable anger and fear welling up in their hearts.

Being watched but unable to notice, whose god is this?

No, even if it is a real god, given the status of myself and others, it will be more or less triggered by being spied on... unless...

The terrible guess in his heart was quickly confirmed, Zhao Yinshun introduced them to them with a smile.

"Okli Yani, the high priest of [Omniscient Eye], is now my personal consultant, in charge of intelligence and auditing."

boom!

There seemed to be thunder in the mind, and goosebumps stood up all over the body. Everyone stood up at the same time, as if performing some mysterious ritual, and performed a long and complicated etiquette.

"The Mechanicum's sixth level [Metal Controller], Hank Amy..."

"The Mechanicus' sixth level [Magic Mage], Tim Yale..."

"Level 5 [Ship Builder] of the Mechanicum, Charles Newman..."

…………

One by one, the old men and women announced their names in a low and solemn voice, and finally bent down at ninety degrees in a uniform manner and whispered like a chant.

"Meet the all-knowing and all-powerful hidden master. You are high above all living beings, urging us to move forward with your eyes..."

Listening to their murmuring, Zhao Yinshun looked at Okriyani in surprise. He did not expect that this slightly childish and fun-loving person could be so impressive.
