"We should all thank you for your help. Without your financial assistance, I am afraid that the person here today would not be me, but the escort team of the Maxim Chamber of Commerce."
Remington smiled and said: "So after I heard that you wanted to discuss a new business with me in person, I rushed over immediately."
It was obviously just a simple courtesy, but there was a hidden murderous intention, reminding Lan Malok that if he hadn't dealt with it, the Maxim Chamber of Commerce would have noticed something strange here.
"It's indeed a new business, but it's not easy for us to discuss it here. Let's go to the office!"
Remington smiled and nodded.
"You mentioned in your letter that you want to purchase a batch of steam equipment. I don't know what equipment you want to buy."
"Yes! The order you gave is really too big. With the existing industrial strength of the Federation, it will be very difficult to complete." Lan Malok replied with a smile.
This time, the business went beyond expectations. After a secret conversation in the office, we came to a huge temporary factory where there was a steam engine that Remington had people temporarily assemble.
Lan Malok's calm and indifferent demeanor made Remington curl his lips unconsciously.
What kind of big-tailed wolf are you pretending to be?
He has received news that the reason why the Merox Empire was able to rise so quickly was entirely due to the Holy Brighta Empire behind Blue Star. Most of the machines are imported. Without the strength of independent research and development, it will never be able to surpass the Maxim Empire.
.
Recently, the empire purchased a batch of extremely high-precision machine tools from the Gonsa Kingdom. I believe that it won't be long before the empire's industrial level will be raised to another level.
Remington looked at the gas lamps and straight and smooth roads that could be seen everywhere in Mumbai. He also saw the people who were still busy working in winter and the factories that kept making rattling noises. He was slightly surprised, but he was not too shocked.
.Because these things did not exceed his imagination, but the strong sense of déjà vu reminded him of the empire for more than twenty years.
It is completely plagiarizing the lessons of Rise of Empires.
Entering the temporary factory, Lan Malok looked at the huge machine that was constantly operating. There were many people working on it. There was a huge conveyor belt inside the huge machine. All the machines in the factory were placed around the huge machine.
.
"What...what is this?!"
Lan Malok asked with a shocked face.
After being stunned for a few seconds, Lan Malok finally saw a shining magic circuit at the core of the machine. His speech ability finally recovered a little: "Is this a magic device? Some kind of magic machine and machine.
A combination of?”
"That's understandable!" Remington said with a smile: "This is what I want to sell you, but this is just one of them. If you go forward, you can see more machines."
The more Lan Malok looked at it, the more he was astonished. He knew a lot about industrial equipment and had even gone to Mero City to get some repairs. But he would never have thought that the steam machines of the Maxim Empire were like this, a combination of magic and steam.
.
He looked at those huge machines, and quickly noticed the incredible precision of these seemingly clumsy iron lumps, those tightly fitting parts, the precisely matched connecting rods, and those unmanned but fast speeds.
Switching magic circle.
This news must be reported to His Majesty.
Lan Malok calmed down quickly.
"What era of magic technology is this?!" Lan Malok slowly turned his head and looked into Remington's eyes and asked.
"This was jointly designed by the empire's technical experts. Of course, you probably won't believe it. It contains the magic technology of a defeated small world. It is said that when the empire found that world, the world was already in the stage of collapse.
, the resources were completely mined, the land was barren, and only many urban ruins were left. The exploration team found a lot of magical mechanical technology that can be used on the mainland in the urban ruins." Remington explained with a smile, and then looked at Lan Malok's reaction.
.
"How about, are you interested in these 'magic devices'?"
"As long as you are willing to sell it!" Lan Malok said with wide eyes.
"You can probably tell that the details of these machines are extremely difficult to process. The cost of manufacturing one is quite high, so the price is naturally high. Depending on the size and difficulty of manufacturing, the cost of parts alone
It’s between tens to hundreds of marks, and making these things obviously requires the participation of magicians, so you can imagine the labor costs.”
Remington spoke leisurely, but before Lan Malok gradually lost his smile, he changed the subject.
"Of course, I will only charge this price when selling to others. If I sell to my neighbors, I will only charge the cost price of materials, and if you have difficulties, you can even use meat to offset the bill."
During this period, the first batch of meat products sold by Dongyapu Company to the three districts of Yadong were well received, especially the lunch meat and ham sausages, which were so delicious that they could be eaten directly without heating them.
This greatly reduces the meat consumption of the escorts, which can save approximately 4,000 Marks of meat for the 200,000 escorts every day.
Remington even increased the price of these meat products to five times or even ten times and sold them to two other regions, making huge profits.
Lan Malok felt greatly moved.
These machines were not cheap, and he knew very well that he had to buy them. He believed that His Majesty would be interested in these magical machines.
This was different from the pure steam engines he heard about in the academy. Compared to the Maxim Empire, the Merlocks Empire was the real mechanical empire. The Maxim Empire should be called the Magical Mechanical Empire.
At this time, Remington's voice interrupted his thinking: "By the way, Lan Malok, I want to tell you something: these machines can't run by themselves. You should have noticed, right? There are no magicians here."
Provide energy to the machine."
"Well! I am indeed curious about this matter. Is it using a matchmaker?" Lan Malok asked while touching his chin: "I didn't see any magician controlling these machines, let alone a huge burning machine.
furnace?"
"They also need a new energy source. I want to talk to you about this new energy source..."
Hearing the new energy, Lan Malok couldn't help but become nervous. He once heard Nomeli say that the elemental electric energy of the Merlocks Empire is the key to the empire's strength, and the existence of elemental electric energy must not be exposed.
Goodluff, who was in charge of the escort, had a cold light flash in his eyes after hearing the word "new energy".
He is no longer the poor swordsman mentor who wanders around. The strength and stability of the Merlocks Empire has allowed Goodluff to fully integrate into this country, and he naturally understands the importance of elemental electricity.
