This is a very contradictory behavior. On the one hand, we hope that the outer continent will give us the greatest support, and on the other hand, we are afraid that the outer continent will invade the central plains.
This kind of behavior disgusts the pure soldiers on the border who are not involved in any politics.
Whether they were from the central countries or professional soldiers from the outer continent, they were very unhappy with their behavior.
Nomeli couldn't help laughing when she learned about the trade at the border.
"My husband, it's true. On the surface, he buys the resources of the central countries at a low price, but secretly he does business in the Eurasian Federation, and secretly plunders their resources to produce armaments for the empire. The Eurasian Federation is really unlucky."
Medea looked at the continental map of Kanglai's world slowly coming out of the black hole, and couldn't help but smile: "How is the situation in the Eurasian Federation? Is there anything worth studying for them?"
Medea rarely asked a constructive question.
In the past, apart from being concerned about the strength of the enemy's Grand Master or combat magic, she rarely had anything to do with this aspect.
"Now the four countries in the central plain are expanding their armies. They previously established a standing army system to replace conscripts. Now more than half of the armies of the four major empires are composed of such standing soldiers. These soldiers will undergo professional training, but
We are currently in the process of changing our rifle weapons, and it will take some time to get used to it."
Medea nodded slightly while listening, and when she encountered something unclear, she would ask Nomiri to stop and ask in detail.
Although she doesn't take care of things very much, as Kanglai's world integrates into the northern continent, she plans to completely let go of her hands and go to the border of the Eurasian Federation, cooperate with the Magister Legion, and annihilate the defenders on the border of the Eurasian Federation in one go.
Medea asked: "So, as time goes by, the number of border defenders will continue to increase?"
"Yes, and much more."
"What is Xiaojiu doing recently?" Medea asked again.
After thinking for a moment, Nomeili said: "I'm not sure. He's been staying in Chester lately, as if he's resuming production at the factory in Chester, and I also got news that he's in love with a woman in Chester.
"
As soon as these words came out, Nomeli clearly felt that the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.
"I know."
Nomiri shrugged, she didn't pay much attention to it.
Anyway, it was Aslan who was unlucky in the end, not her.
In the villa at No. 77 Tulip in Chester, Aslan suddenly sneezed several times in succession.
"Is someone talking bad about me?"
Aslan rubbed his nose and muttered.
Linda beside her asked with concern: "Have you caught a cold?"
Aslan shook his head and asked.
"How is the infiltration of the Zanskart Empire going?"
"Recently, Emperor Thomasius of the Zanskat Empire issued an order to open more schools, increase the number of teachers in the countryside, and require farmers to learn to read in their spare time..."
Aslan immediately frowned and asked: "What is the current literacy rate of civilians in the Zansikat Empire?"
Linda answered respectfully: "About 40% of farmers can spell words for common grains, farm tools, etc., and can read grain harvest orders, and 20% of farmers can read simple notices or write a poor letter.
It’s still increasing.”
“How long has literacy education been promoted?”
"Ten years ago, the emperor issued an order to lift the ban on literacy for civilians. At that time, there were still nobles who obstructed it. The decree was promoted very slowly. It was not until six years ago that the emperor ordered the establishment of schools and dispatched teachers. The number of literate people began to increase, but the number of civilians began to increase.
The time to really learn how to read is when the imperial city hall exam begins..."
The City Hall Examination is actually the civil service examination in later generations. Although the people being tested are not low-level civil servants, for ordinary people, they are still unattainable officials. Many families support one person to study for this number of people.
Aslan's face was a little gloomy, and Linda watched the change in his expression with anxiety. She naturally understood that the increase in the popularity of literacy among the people was of great significance to the development of the nation.
This will invisibly improve national strength. This invisibility cannot be seen with the naked eye. As time goes by, it will slowly increase the overall national quality and scientific research capabilities. With the development of thermal weapons, the cultural requirements for soldiers are getting higher and higher. This
It’s about the combat literacy of soldiers.
Aslan nodded: "Continue."
"Yes... Acidification plants are being added in various places now. Since last year, similar acidification plants have been increasing in large numbers. The acidified agricultural fertilizer produced by this kind of factory is a brand-new fertilizer technology, which is much better than the fertilizer fermented by feces.
Less, which is why the food output of the Zansikat Empire is so high..."
Aslan asked; "Are there any samples of acidified agricultural fertilizer?"
Linda naturally knew Aslan's innate magical skills, so she would not let go of such a good thing.
"Acidified agricultural fertilizer is well protected by the Zansikat Empire. The other three countries cannot purchase it. It is one of the Zansikat Empire's top secrets."
After Linda finished speaking, she took out a small bag of acidified agricultural fertilizer. In order to transport this small piece of agricultural fertilizer, it took the lives of more than a dozen local agents to complete it.
Aslan gently grabbed a handful of acidified agricultural fertilizer, put it to his nose and smelled it, and then his innate magic analyzed the materials and extraction methods of the acidified agricultural fertilizer, leaving him stunned.
Acidified agricultural fertilizer is actually the product of pulverizing American Yingsha, which is abundant in the mainland, and then acidolyzing it. Then adding several magic materials and heating it at high temperature in a sealed container will produce a white-brown powder and a large number of white crystals. The crystals can
Smelted into energy storage magic crystal, this is why coal crystal is popular in the other three countries, but the Zansikat Empire dismisses it.
Coal crystals are a one-time energy source, just like gasoline. Once they are refined, they are no longer used and need to be refined again.
Energy storage magic crystals are different. They are equivalent to batteries, and they do not have a service life or number of times. As long as they are not broken and the magic circuits inside are re-engraved every other period, they can be used forever.
The biggest problem of the Merlox Empire's energy storage magic crystals has always been that the production of magic crystals cannot keep up, so they have to start using coal crystals as a last resort. With this technology, the empire's energy technology will be further improved.
The energy storage magic crystal of the Zanskat Empire cannot be promoted to the entire central countries. On the one hand, it is unwilling to share the technology, and on the other hand, the magic circuit is engraved, which prevents its vigorous development.
After so many years of development, the Zansikat Empire must have accumulated a lot of energy storage magic crystals. However, once a war breaks out, the loss of energy storage magic crystals will be too large, which will also affect the economic development of the Zansikat Empire.
It just so happened that he handed over this technology to his eldest daughter, and at the same time spread the technology of acidified agricultural fertilizer to the other three countries, making the Zanskat Empire suspicious.
