Chapter 702 The rapid development of Xiahui Ling (6000)
"What. Hades?"
Albert blinked.
He didn't react a bit.
The Hades myth of Terra is not very developed, probably because some legends were lost due to the disaster of falling from the sky. Nowadays, the folklore is more
What is more common is the system of "heaven and hell", and most ascenders are very aware of it.
The ultimate destination of the soul is to return to the natural cycle.
Except for the Suming Cult, not many people are interested in the "afterlife" - just wanting to be comfortable and happy in this life is the absolute mainstream.
Ian took the thick stack of conceptual calculation drawings from the hands of the young deceased king, and scanned the thinking and calculation process on them.
Adlbert's idea was indeed optimized based on Ian's original idea.
Initially, Ian's idea was to use artificial souls to gather enough numbers to activate the core of the spiritual machine.
It is true that ordinary people cannot stimulate the active offensive ability of the spiritual weapon core like the second and third energy levels.
But it can also stimulate the conversion of source matter and spiritual energy and stimulate spiritual energy shields. Of course, the most critical point lies in a powerful "energy furnace heart". And this point is actually the best solution.
Whether it is the Leyline Furnace, the Ether Furnace Core technology that Ian already possesses, or the Youpin Engine at the bottom of Xiahui Lake, they can all be used. But the problem with this idea is that it takes time to gather the psychic shield in order to activate it.
Sufficient number of people.
It's easy to deal with natural disasters. For example, there will be signs of a major storm for at least an hour. This period of time is enough for local residents to gather at key beach shelters to activate the spiritual core.
But if it was the kind of raid that Ian went to Xiahui Territory, how could ordinary people react?
Once a war breaks out, it will still cause huge casualties.
Adelbert saw this from the beginning. He was keenly aware of the potential and drawbacks of this technology, so he
Try to use existing means to make up for it.
Since the body moves and reacts slowly and can't keep up with the Ascendant's surprise attack, then don't use your body!
Meditation can increase the strength of the soul, and ordinary second-level sublimators can only win in terms of quantity. Coupled with the traction and protection of the spiritual machine core, it is completely feasible.
In this case, then simply strengthen the function in this area so that people can leave their souls and wander outside the world!
Under the traction of the core of the spiritual machine, the soul can move at a speed that is almost instantaneous. Whenever it encounters danger, it can immediately go to the core of the spiritual machine to activate the shield.
This idea is obviously much more complete than the crude idea originally conceived by Ian.
At first, Ian also wanted to praise Adlbert, but then he thought of something. - After entering the core of the spiritual machine, the soul can return to the body after ending the asylum.
However, the shield is not omnipotent and there will still be many surprises.
What if the body is damaged in a disaster?
Unless Ian establishes a supporting national DNA storage and a convenient and fast clone cultivation system, otherwise, this soul can only stay in the core of the spiritual machine.
Moreover, without the support of a trained body, the clone cannot accommodate the soul of a person who has practiced meditation. - There is not enough source matter and related spiritual channels in its body, and the soul cannot enter it.
…
Being in it will only wear you down and it will soon perish, just like staying in the outside world.
But here comes the problem.
Do you really need to go out?
Ian asked himself and answered: Of course that is not necessary. Staying in the core of a spiritual weapon can warm and nourish the soul. Entering an inappropriate body at will will lead to death.
So, how many souls can the spiritual machine core store?
Ian has not yet manufactured it, but according to estimates, it should be no problem to accommodate tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of ordinary people. The spiritual core of the construct knight is limited by the size of the mobile war construct and the furnace core supply.
Capability limitations are not the limit of the technology of the spiritual machine core itself. Just like the gap between mobile computers and desktop computers, the spiritual machine core placed in the territory must be stronger.
The soul that has lost its body can enter it to seek refuge, but can the soul of the ordinary old dead?
Of course, the lifespan of the soul and the body are another system, the old dead
The soul dissipates only because the body collapses. Without the support of spiritual matter, the spiritual machine core can replace all the supplies of the body. Also, the spiritual machine core can
How long does it take to protect the soul?
The answer is that as long as there is enough energy, it is infinite.
The more he asked and answered questions, the more shocked Ian was.
An artificial soul, a shelter to store the soul, enough energy and a long-lasting place after death. This is
Hades created by man!
"If Grand Duke Thorin wants to maintain an afterlife world for almost eternity, so he goes to the center of the earth to use the heat energy of the planet to create hell, then the concept you just proposed, Adlbert, is to create a hell on the surface of the earth.
Build a temporary "Hades!"
"Moreover, the more souls it shelters, the stronger the shield of the spiritual machine core. As long as it reaches a certain
Order of magnitude, more than 300,000, which is the critical population of the Awak Territory, or even
Excitedly grabbing the shoulder of Researcher Dead Lord, Ian noticed that the other person was still a little confused.
Temporary Hades "has almost no disadvantages except that it requires a lot of energy. Of course, for most forces, this is the biggest disadvantage.
This is not to be blamed on the other party, because except for Ian himself, no one knows how much energy technology he has in his hands, and it is impossible to think about "sustainable maintenance."
Yes, is it so powerful? "
Adlbert is a very smart person. He didn't understand the situation at first, but now he realized it and couldn't help but open his eyes wide: "Yes, yes - this is a far better method than Archduke Thorin! Moreover,
No need to be completely
The dead king is a shelter built by people spontaneously! "
Where is Grand Duke Thorin who is still thinking about you? The old guy should have retired long ago.
Ian complained in his heart, but he also knew that it was normal for the other party to care about him. Researcher Dead Lord had been holding his breath in his heart, wanting to prove that Party A's route in the past was wrong.
But, to be honest, it's also quite strange.
Adelbert is a man who always creates results that far exceed what his idea requires for his own ideas that cannot be said to be very grand.
Just like this time - he just wanted to find a better and faster way to protect the souls of ordinary people, but in the end he created the prototype of an artificial Hades.
…
The same is true for the Dead King and the artificial soul. At first, he simply completed the tasks assigned by Archduke Thorin.
It can only be said that Adlbert's talent is truly incredible. It is no wonder that Grand Duke Thorin valued him so much that he even gave away all his Inaga inheritance to him.
Of course, the artificial Hades technology is now only a prototype within a prototype. It can only be said that a new folder has just been created and two PTTs have been written.
There are still many technical shortcomings that need to be broken through.
For example, how to adjust the meditation method, how to create a psychic core, and how to use artificial intelligence to speed up the reaction speed of ordinary people. For example, use artificial intelligence to monitor the surrounding situation, and when someone attacks, immediately use the psychic network to notify everyone.
People, speed up the speed at which the shelter raises its shield.
Overall, there are many problems that need to be solved. And the most important thing is
"Yisi, I still need funds."
Adlbert looked at Ian seriously: "The two thousand thalers from the last batch have been almost used. Even if the spiritual machine core is a miniaturized experimental version, the raw materials will cost more than 500 thalers. Considering the experimental losses,
And trial and error for five thousand five hundred thalers is a must.”
"Okay, but you need to wait a moment."
Ian doesn't change his face on the surface, but in fact he is already nervous. Fifteen thousand five hundred thalers are actually not much. A house in the imperial capital costs three times this price. Apart from anything else, Xiahui recently received
The large-scale infrastructure construction cost nearly 7,000 thalers in total.
But Ian is also a researcher himself, and he knows very well what Adelbert means by the 5,500 thalers... This is only the first phase of experimental funding, and there will be at least three or four phases that require continuous money burning.
, only then will the results be produced!
Not to mention, there are other projects that are also funded independently.
As expected, Adlbert then honestly reported the development funds for technologies such as "artificial intelligence" and "artificial soul practicality".
After reporting it, the total funding requirement now exceeds 10,000 pagodas
It's closed.
Looking at the expectant expression on Adlbert's face, how could Ian say that he has no money! He really has no money! "
What? He could only nod calmly: "Leave it all to me."
It has to be said that Adlbert is a man who can surprise people, whether it is the progress of technological research and development or the intensity of funding required.
"I defrauded funds from superiors and others, and then gave funds to my own researchers... This is
The daily life of the middle-class nobles of the empire?"
After leaving the alchemy laboratory, Ian shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, at least Adalbert won't cheat the funds."
I have so many projects. If I were not given hundreds of thousands of thalers before and after, I would not be able to do them in the first stage.
This is really not Ian Lion's big talk - not to mention other issues, the empire's research funding will definitely exceed millions of thalers for artificial intelligence issues alone. This is just the beginning, and the gradual improvements in the future will be a huge amount.
money.
If Ian hadn't bought the most expensive part of his technology for free, with Xiahui's background, he wouldn't have even thought about it!
Attracting investment is imperative.
Returning to the Lord's Mansion, Ian thought for a while and decided to contact everyone he knew: "Marquis Barton, Firestone Group, Platinum and Iridium Workshop, the Second Prince and the Goblins. Contact everyone who has the intention to cooperate."
…
"Although the mountain people are poor, it is still a big market. In this season, I believe there will be people willing to explore new markets." Nowadays, in addition to the traditional "spiritual nourishing extract", Xiahui Ling also has a lot more products.
Competitive products.
Some time ago, Ian had used the channels of the Platinum and Iridium Workshop to submit patents for rechargeable rifles and magnetic storm generators. The Firestone Group was very interested in these products.
The Marquis of Barton is quite optimistic about the new agricultural cultivation that Ian wants to develop. Of course, it may be an investment purely for Ian himself, but for Ian, a hero who has completed all his tasks perfectly, he certainly does not like it.
Will be stingy with money.
Most importantly, Ian has military status.
If that doesn't work, he can also ask for a military salary - the meritorious troops who destroyed the Constructed Knights with one blow are just asking for military expenses. Can the Marquis of Barton give it?
The goblins who contacted Hua An were mainly targeting the goblin lairs in the Great Maze of the South China Sea. As the master of the maze, Ian believed that he had a lot of things to talk to. Only the second prince, the content of the letter written by Ian
It's just purely "making money".
It would be difficult to survive forever without money, and alchemical research would not produce results. As long as the second prince still values himself as the successor of Inaga's alchemical skills, he, who is now the head of the main front in the Western Territory, will definitely find some excuse for himself.
Of course, it must be a reasonable excuse to save some money. This is the rule of the empire.
If there are connections and channels, there will definitely be investment, which will also accelerate the formalization of various industries in Xiahui City.
However, it may not be enough.
"There is only so much investment interest within the empire."
The next day, when Ian held a meeting of Xiahui Ling's management, he pointed at the map and said to Scott Qingchao, Farr and others: "No matter how much we think about it, at least we have to build the alchemy park in Xiakou District.
, Yu Xingyi became famous - but it is different abroad. The Feiyan Land and the Empire are at war, but it does not mean that other forces are also idle. The Seven Cities Alliance and the Capital of Knowledge are right next to the Feiyan Land, and the Far Coast Island is also busy.
want
"
Not to mention that Canaan Moore and our empire are nominal allies. They have been selling a lot of supplies recently, and they also have quite cheap raw materials. This is the point." "If you want to develop quickly, you have to start from Harrison Port.
Start with those multinational fleets.”
Ian sets the tone for development, and naturally there will be no other opinions within the territory.
As time goes by, there are also some miscellaneous things during the development period.
When Isengard, located in the Eastern Great Plains, received the "molten snake vertebrae" sent by Ian, it was happy to directly communicate with Ian across provinces. Ian was still wondering about the young master of the Ellen family.
Mi, the son of the princess, said that the third-level Huang Lu material should not be so valuable.
But when he knew that this was probably the first time Ellen had received a gift from a friend other than her mother and teacher, he couldn't help but sigh.
Some people are not short of money, but they are short of friends.
Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.
After chatting with Ian, Isengard also told Ian good news: because Ian's armor design about the "Cyclops" attracted everyone, and in the name of Ian's laboratory in the Platinum Iridium Workshop
The several alchemy papers he published have also been favored by a certain alchemist in the imperial capital. Now, no one within the Platinum and Iridium Workshop dares to question Ian and his professionalism.
…
Up to now, Isengard has completely secured his position as director of the Southern Territory, and the employees in the department are also very obedient and are completely controlled by him. This can basically be said to be the credit of Ian. And Ian told Isen
Guardian, this is what it should be. They are allies who help each other. Yisen developed an agreement,
He can also get more benefits in the future.
Apart from anything else, the internal value of the alchemical matrix of the Platinum and Iridium Workshop is the reason why Xiahui Ling has not suffered a financial collapse due to large-scale alchemical production in recent times. Yisen plans to stay in the East for a while, anyway, for him
For such rich people, it doesn't matter where they conduct experiments.
In addition, after coming to see Xiou's dragon lair, Anfa also planned to return to Canaan Moore.
This green-haired elf scholar has obtained all the information he wants. In other words, his body should have similar problems to Xio's, both of which are caused by dragon blood or other toxins.
The two parties are fellow patients, so they get along so well with each other.
Knowing the degree of healing and purification of the Holy Mountain is really useful, and he also obtained the Dragon God's earth healing secret technique. For Anfa, he has gained a lot, both from himself and from the Canaanite Moorish Dragon Worship Cult.
"You and I will meet again soon."
Before leaving, the elf said goodbye to Ian gracefully: "Perhaps the place to see you again is Half Moon Lake. Negotiations for cooperation between the Dragon Cult, the Empire, and Canaan Moore have entered the final stage. It is expected that the underground investigation of Half Moon Lake will begin within the year.
Exploration of the Cavity."
“And after that, I will return to Nanling again.
I am looking forward too."
Ian has a very good impression of Anfa. He is meticulous in his conduct and very smart. Both parties can understand each other without having to explain many things.
Moreover, it is Anfa's channel that allows Xiahui Ling to purchase a large amount of Canaan Moore's grains and fruits at an affordable or even low price. Otherwise, who knows how many mountain people will starve to death this winter, even Xiahui Ling's
Food reserves will be stretched thin.
Although Anfa himself always humbles himself that "this matter is not worth mentioning," in fact, this elf has helped the development of Xiahui Territory as much as anyone else. According to Ian's news in Nauman City, Anfa's
He left at the same time as Master Oak's departure.
It seems that Master Oak came here nominally to capture the members of the Nanling Dragon Worship Cult. In fact, he was probably sent by the family behind Anfa to escort them. My friends left and their lives continued.
After the war, Xiahui Ling entered a period of rapid development.
Many mountain tribes need to rebuild and are short of food. They also need to prepare in advance for spring plowing in a few months. This requires a lot of tools and materials, which Xiahui Ling can fully supply.
Large quantities of tools, fertilizers and processed masonry; boxes of sugar and carts of grain were collected from all over the country to Xiahui. Then various caravans set out to deliver these goods from Xiahui to Baidu.
Deep in the Mori Mountains.
The mountain people don't have many thalers, but they do have other supplies: ores, herbs, and Warcraft materials. These are all hard currency.
Xiahui Ling himself could not digest all of these materials, so he resold them to the alchemy workshops around Nauman City to obtain cash to continue infrastructure construction and commercial activities.
…
Of course, Ian is not simply sucking blood from the mountain people, he is also making plans for the development of the mountain people.
To put it bluntly, the answer is simple: give full play to location advantages and develop characteristic industries.
The interior of the Baisen Mountains is really not suitable for farming. Even though there are three mountain basins and excellent farming areas such as riverside land, if the mountain people want to be self-sufficient in food, they can only rely on new technologies. Therefore, there are only minerals.
In this era, territories with a large uneducated and low-end population can only rely on selling resources to get development funds.
The mountain people happen to be sitting on a large number of mines in the Baisen Mountains, which has to be said to be a blessing.
However, they do not have modern mining technology, so they spend a lot of effort and may not be able to get even three cents of profit.
This was a restriction of the empire in the past, but now, because of the activities of Marquis Baton, the restriction has been opened.
Naturally, Ian would not miss this opportunity.
It just so happened that among the several dwarf brothers Roland brought from Fallen Star Hills, one was a professional in a related field. Although the dwarves were all blacksmiths in mining, which was Terra's racial prejudice, it had to be said.
, the best mining workers in the world are all dwarves.
Under the guidance of this professional, the mountain people quickly determined the relevant mining regulations, and Xiahui Ling was also working overtime to produce related machinery and equipment. - For hundreds of years, this was probably the first step for the mountain people.
Alchemy tracks and minecarts can be used at one time to transport the ore instead of using manpower to move the ore out.
The time has quickly come to the end of January.
During this period of time, Ian once again felt that the "barony" of Xiahui Territory had a population of less than one and too few talents.
Except for Old Farr and Roland, Yisi did not find any other useful talents in the Xiahui Territory. In fact, Old Farr and Roland were not trained locally. They were both overseas students who returned from other places."
This is the reason why frontier aristocrats may not be able to develop any careers for several generations: the truly cutting-edge technicians will be sucked away by the imperial capital or several other big cities, and there are neither research conditions nor funds in the frontier areas.
The support and academic atmosphere are even worse.
If you stay in a place like this, you will gradually lose touch with the forefront of the industry.
Unless the local nobles themselves become professionals and, like Ian, take charge of all matters of reform and construction, they may not be able to change anything in this regard in decades. Yisi can only try to make a name for himself.
He wants to make some great discoveries and inventions to attract people, otherwise there will be no solution. And if you want to cultivate it yourself, you need time. Even he spent four or five years learning the entire alchemical inscription system.
The gate population is easier to deal with. Whether it is to attract some labor force from the mountain people who want to come to the "Holy Land" to serve the Dragon God's envoys, or to accept those refugees from the Western Region who are short of food due to the food disaster, it is a good way.
As long as they do a good job in auditing and training, they will soon be able to join Xiahui, which is now in full swing and lead great development.
Of course, there are problems and there are gains.
In addition to dealing with various territorial matters, Ian, who was optimizing the Steel Lord, received two pieces of good news from Scott who came to report.
The first one: With the hard work of a soil sublimator and a professional construction team working overtime, the skeleton of the first "hydroponic farm building" next to Xiahui Lake has been built and is waiting for him to inspect and determine the key points.
If there are no problems with the structure, you can optimize the details and speed up the construction of other hydroponic farm buildings.
The second one: Taimo, Viscount Ducas walked around Nanling. After waiting for several new news from the Imperial City, he came with rewards, rewards and a whole support convoy from the Imperial City. Accompanying him were also
There are several leaders of different caravans,
They were all attracted by Ian's recent fame and wanted to investigate investments.
