After checking the status of the "Eve's Heart" inside "Sakuragaoka Sei", "Kanaryusai Glass" nodded briefly and asked the succulent: "The magic circuits of these six "Oscarp Fuji" machines are also damaged.
, I can help you restore one of them by disassembling and reassembling it. Which magic circuit do you plan to install on this girl?"
The succulents naturally knew that the magic circuits on the six dolls of "Akaha Tenquan" were all of high quality. For a moment, they felt incompetent and couldn't help but look at Luo Jie beside them for help.
"These six dolls are the gravity-operated "Firefly", the magic-absorbing "Tama Insect", the space-moving "Kamakiri", the speedy "Dragonfly", the silk-operated "Hime Spider" and the stinging "Bee"
"...Personally, I still recommend that you choose the "gravity operation" magic circuit."
"Why? Isn't it true that "space movement" has a higher practical value?" Succulent asked in confusion. Obviously Luo Jie's recommendation was different from what he had in mind.
"Hanaryusai Glass" smiled coldly and said: "You'd better listen to him - "Space Movement" is indeed the strongest of the six magic circuits, but the premise is that you can have the kind of "Akaban Tenzen"
You have a huge amount of magical power that is not human, otherwise you will be drained dry by this doll in just a few times."
"Squeeze...squeeze it dry?"
The succulent's mind instantly showed the terrifying image of himself curled up on the bed with sunken eye sockets, a haggard face, and trembling, while "Sage Sakuragaoka" was leaning on the bed with his arms bare and smoking after a cigarette.
Okay, so this scenario might not be quite accurate, but the end result is basically the same...
"Forget it, then just listen to Brother Nightmare and use the "gravity operation" magic circuit."
...
There are only four words to say "recovering the port", but in practice it is extremely cumbersome.
The most critical one is how to build the city wall under Kabane's attack.
If we go back a hundred years ago, this is destined to be an unsolvable problem. However, in the industrial age with steam engines as the protagonist, smart craftsmen have already developed solutions.
That is, the steam locomotive "Juncheng" carries the exterior wall components that have been built in advance. After the train stops, it is quickly unloaded and assembled into the first simple line of defense. Based on this, it continues to extend outward until it is closed, and then the final reinforcement is done.
increase in height.
"Xianjinyi" is a post city with extremely developed industry. Almost all the nearby "Juncheng" are manufactured here. It can be said that it is not difficult to make a few steel plate walls with no technical content.
In the past, it was only due to the limited manpower of the city guard, and the fact that ordinary steam bombs could not cause substantial damage to Kabane, that the matter of expanding the city and regaining the port was put on hold indefinitely.
Now that the most critical security issue has been resolved, this decision related to the future development of "Xianjin Station" has once again been put on the agenda.
"Master Ye, please come this way. This is our steam smelting plant."
Amidst the roar of steam hammers and rivet guns, Luo Jie, accompanied by a young lady, walked into the largest factory in "Xianjinyi".
After pretending to admire the retro-looking steam engine and the labyrinth-like pipes, Luo Jie turned to the young lady and said, "I have some technical questions to ask. Could you please call me *** Steam?"
Mechanic."
The little **** didn't dare to neglect, and immediately shouted to the crowd: "Has anyone seen the "Ikoma" guy? Hurry up and ask him to put down what he is doing and come over."
Luo Jie smiled slightly, and sure enough he knew how to call her "Ikoma".
In the original work, "Sifangchuan Iris" comes to repair the steamer, and the factory manager introduces "Ikoma", which shows that this male protagonist is definitely the most outstanding one in the entire forging factory in terms of technology. Otherwise, if he is just a raw melon
Danzi, it’s not fun to offend the eldest lady of the city lord.
Not long after, a green-haired young man wearing strange glasses with only one lens and a thin yet strong physique walked out of the crowd with a reluctant expression on his face.
"Ikoma, this is Mr. Ye! Come and serve me quickly!" the little lady official urged with full authority.
"Ikoma" walked up to Luo Jie, scratched the green hair that seemed to have not been trimmed for a long time, and said: "I know you, "Loach" works at your place, she seems to be doing well, wearing beautiful new clothes
, the smile on my face is much more than when I was in the forge."
"Ikoma, Loach often mentions you to me. Are you interested in going to work for me?" Luo Jie said with a smile.
"Forget it, the job in the steam forging plant is more suitable for me." As expected, "Ikoma" rejected Luo Jie's solicitation, "What's the matter with Mr. Ye calling me here? I can't stand you gentlemen.
Then I can wander around in my free time, and there are many machines waiting for me to check..."
Sure enough, just like in the original work, because his family died at the mouth of Kabane, "Ikoma" had an extremely bad feeling for the samurai and the privileged class who only dared to huddle in the post city and defend passively, but showed off their power to the common people.
"In the near future, I plan to regain the original port and salt field of "Xianjinyi". I need a large number of city wall components. I would like to know, if this steam forging plant is operated at full capacity, what is the approximate daily output?"
"You want to start a war with "Kabane"?"
"Ikoma" was shocked when he heard this. Ever since he fled into the "Xianjin Station", he had never seen the upper-class nobles and warriors outside the city wall, and the only news he heard was one after another.
Constantly falling into the hands of "Kabane".
"We can't talk about a full-scale war. We just need to use the city wall to encircle the port and reopen the sea route with the outside world, so that the "Xianjin Station" will not be trapped in the isolated city."
Seeing a flash of disappointment on "Ikoma's" face, Luo Jie knew that the overly passionate male protagonist had suffered from unrealistic chuunibyou again, and continued: "Now there are thousands of Kabane in the entire Japanese country.
And all the post cities combined have only a hundred* population. If only the young and strong are counted, this number will be at least halved... Therefore, it may take several generations to eliminate Kabane slowly.
, don’t act too hastily.”
"Humph, you nobles all talk nice, but when you actually do it, it's not the same thing."
"Hey? Why are you talking to Mr. Ye? Do you not want to work here anymore?" The little girl quickly stepped forward and yelled at "Ikoma" for being rude.
Luo Jie waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, smiled slightly at "Ikoma" and said: "I will definitely do what I need to do, and I have to prove something to you... By the way, I heard that you are researching something
Interesting gadget? It seems to be called "jet bomb", right?"
Hearing Luo Jie mention "jet bullets", "Ikoma" immediately became alert.
"Why do you ask this? My "jet bullets" are used to kill "Kabane", not for you to point the gun at an unarmed human being. If that were the case, I would rather destroy it.
"
Luo Jie smiled, reached out and took out a short steam gun from the weapons rack nearby that was waiting for repair. After playing with it for a few times, he suddenly pointed the gun at the "Ikoma".
"Sir! Ikoma bumped into you rudely, and I hope you will show your kindness and forgive him!"
A slightly fat young man anxiously pushed through the crowd and rushed out, pulling "Ikoma" with him and kneeling at Luo Jie's feet, pressing down on "Ikoma"'s stubborn head.
The boy's name is "Zhengsheng", and he is "Ikoma's" friend who grew up together.
"Don't be nervous, I'm not so cautious as to kill someone just for disobeying me." Luo Jie smiled, casually threw the steam gun to the little girl beside him who couldn't help wiping his sweat, and leaned down slightly to face him.
"Ikoma" said: "I just want you to understand that if I want to aim the gun at the gun, ordinary steam gun and gun are enough - and because this time the gun has to be pointed..."
Kabane", I will need your "Jet Bullet"."
"Ikoma"'s face kept changing, and he was struggling fiercely in his heart.
Finally, he gritted his teeth, raised his head and said solemnly: "I can bring some workers to help you make the "jet bomb", but I cannot leave the manufacturing method of the "jet bomb" to you."
Is it really still the case...
Luo Jie frowned slightly, but still had a peaceful smile on his face: "Why is this? You should understand that there will be more and more battles with "Kabane" in the future. With just a few of you producing
"Jet bombs" simply cannot meet my needs."
"Because of the formula of "Jet Bullet", I have put it in Miss Calamus's gun case and asked her to give it to the Lord of the City... Although I was the one who invented "Jet Bullet", the one who owns it now is Sifang
Mr. Sifangchuan, so unless Mr. Sifangchuan agrees, I will not give the formula to anyone."
Luo Jie was stunned, so what is the problem?
It sounds unbelievable from a modern perspective that craftsmen's inventions are given to the lord for free, but in the era of "Iron Castle", it was a very common situation.
Moreover, the "jet bomb" is different from other inventions. It can be called a strategic military weapon in this world. Even if the "Ikoma" is the inventor himself, once it is leaked, it will still be a serious crime that requires beheading.
In other words, those players who have been digging for quests from the protagonist "Ikoma" in the previous life have gone in the wrong direction from the beginning. The real owner of the [Jet Bullet Formula] should be the city lord "Sifagawa Kensho".
This can also explain why in the original work, "Sifangchuan Iris" would exchange [Jet Bomb Formula] with "Japanese Station" for food, because this thing no longer belongs to "Ikoma", but has become the Sifangchuan family.
the property of.
Luo Jie realized that he seemed to have missed the mark.
If you follow the route of the original plot, "Xianjinyi" breaks the city and "Sifangchuan Jianjiang" dies, the [Jet Bomb Recipe] will automatically be inherited by "Sifangchuan Changpu".
Because he is burdened with the fate of a whole car of people, "Sifangchuan Changpu" will gradually shed his innocence and youthfulness and grow into a qualified leader.
The former is a princess who is inexperienced in the world, while the latter is a queen who has experienced many vicissitudes of life. You can imagine the difficulty of gaining favor between the two.
Precisely because he directly sabotaged the plot from the beginning, and designed to evade "Sifangchuan General", and directly took power of "Xianjinyi" by marrying "Sifangchuan Changpu", he invisibly bypassed the secret set up by the system.
pit.
Theoretically speaking, the [Jet Bullet Formula] already belongs to Luo Jie, and the only thing he needs to do now is to go to "Sifangchuan Jianjiang" and ask for it.
If you plant flowers intentionally, they will not bloom, but if you plant willows unintentionally, they will create shade. Luck is really a mysterious thing.
