The next morning, the airship picked up Geno, the new leader of the "Camellia House".
The "Black Camellia" house is located at the edge of the ancient desert and has friendly relations with many adventurer groups. It is the last stop for these adventurer teams to explore the ancient desert. Many women and adventurers of the Camellia family
They had a romantic relationship and gave birth to their flesh and blood, and the woman had been trained to be extremely ruthless since childhood, so although its conditions were slightly better than other settlements, neighboring settlements such as the settlement of madman Ya Heng once wanted to embezzle it.
, but finally suppressed the idea.
Genuo is an extremely tough girl with a very fat body. She probably has a physique that is prone to obesity, so although she may not absorb nutrients better than others, she is as big as a mountain of meat.
In front of Lu Ming, she didn't hold back at all when she said those words to Zhuge.
Probably after getting on the airship, she saw the magic of the airship. Coming to the third city-state was an eye-opener, which made her treat these city-state people who were obviously more civilized more cautiously.
Roundtable.
Although it is a round table, Lu Ming is sitting facing the door. According to Chinese tradition, he is still the main seat.
The remaining five settlement leaders are Yaheng, Max, Laphne, Osman and Genuo.
When Lu Ming talked about making a map of the Far South, the five settlement owners naturally agreed. But when it came to marking the location of their settlements on the map, Osman and Genuo, who had heard about the "Torch Project" for the first time,
Be silent.
Yaheng, Max and Laphne, representing Yaheng Settlement, Blackfire Settlement and Savage Daqiu respectively, agreed to join the plan.
"Oh, Zhuge, please tell everyone about the concept of our Torch Project!" Lu Ming made a gesture.
Zhuge, who was standing behind Lu Ming, cleared his throat and began to dictate.
The PPT was omitted because none of the people in the settlement could read. According to the standards of the Northern Territory, they were all illiterate.
Of course, even before the wave of ferocious beasts broke out, the writing here was different from the New World.
You can tell from the amount mark on the stone coin, but the symbol of the number is also easy to guess.
The village leaders, Yaheng, Max and Laphne, who were sitting around the round table, were already familiar with the Torch Project, but they were not bored either. After all, the refreshments on the table in front of them were all extremely delicious.
It was the first time for both Osman and Geno to hear about the agreement initiated by the city-state people. After hearing that the settlement locations joining the plan were marked on the map and could be protected by the city-state people, Osman's eyes suddenly lit up.
But Zhuge's next words quickly extinguished the light of hope in his eyes.
Because Zhuge said that the prerequisite for joining the plan to obtain the security guarantee of the third city-state is that the settlement has not been in a state of hostile war with other settlements before, and cannot have unfulfilled commitments, etc. When such disputes are involved, the city-state will not intervene.
"If these conditions are met, we will have no problem!" The female leader Genuo smiled boldly, "But city-state people, what do you want? I hope you won't lie to us that you are angels?!"
When Lu Ming saw Zhuge looking at him, he nodded, already expecting such a situation.
Zhuge glanced at all the village leaders and said: "We came from a lost land and now we can't find our way home, but my lord believes that the local coins and stones may help us."
This is not a lie. Lu Ming feels that perhaps by absorbing the spiritual power of immortal stones to improve his origin, he can open the door to his own world.
In other words, at that time, you may be able to understand the laws of these ancient "gods" that set down barriers between continents, and then you can lift these barriers yourself and completely integrate the planet into one.
But after listening to Zhuge's words, Genuo was obviously dubious. He grabbed the tea and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, which meant that I just listened.
"Lord of the city-state, what's the situation in my settlement?" Osman looked at Lu Ming with a bitter look on his face.
Lu Ming nodded: "If you agree, you can join the plan, and we can discuss the rest later."
Osman was immediately overjoyed, "Okay! Okay! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
At the end of the meeting, each of the five settlements was given a radio.
Nowadays, a broadcasting tower has been built in Hedong Town. Lu Ming moved it directly from the Northern Territory.
And I tried broadcasting for just a few minutes.
In those few minutes, Lu Ming took the airship over the nearest ferocious beast town, and saw no particular reaction from the ferocious beast.
It seems that the ferocious beast has no awareness of radio waves.
Radio waves and sound waves are of course two kinds of waves, but Lu Ming was cautious and did this experiment first.
Zhuge took five village leaders to a hall and taught them how to use the radio.
The "Third City State Channel" also had a trial broadcast for exactly half an hour, repeatedly playing the Torch Plan that Zhuge talked about.
The broadcast tower was erected here, of course, not to provide entertainment for the settlement residents. After all, for the settlement residents, if they could not go hungry, they would be in heaven, and spiritual enjoyment was too far away for them.
The broadcasting tower and the radios given to the five settlements are mainly used for communication.
If you just use the radio, the five settlements can only passively receive information from the city-state.
Now we can only make do with this. It is not difficult to distribute transmitters to the five settlements and teach them how to use them, but we have to do it step by step. Although the five settlements have signed the Torch Agreement, they will not immediately regard it as a
One's own allies.
…
"These five settlements are so lucky!" Sekhmet curled his lips.
In the RV, Lu Ming, who was drinking genuine tea, smiled slightly and understood what she meant.
Indeed, because they were the first to encounter the "third city-state", if they are smart enough and follow the pace of the city-state, they will not make mistakes in the future.
And the settlements that did not encounter the "third city-state" at the first time may even suffer a devastating blow due to conflicts with the five settlements in the future.
Although in essence, these settlement cultures are actually the same, just the jungle rules of the weak and the strong.
Putting down the tea cup, Lu Ming muttered: "Sometimes, life is like this. Born in different regions, the future will be different. However, we must try our best to ensure that people face the same rules of competition in the arena. This is fairness and equality.
.”
Sekhmet's silver eyes flashed as he looked at him and said: "But I heard that the wealth owned by your royal family can buy the entire East China Sea. Is this the fair and equal society you want to create?"
Lu Ming nodded slightly: "Actually, you said it was less. These are all legitimate operations of mine. However, do you think I will care about this wealth?"
Sekhmet was silent for a while and said, "I heard that the God Realm also needs wealth."
Lu Ming smiled, and it was true that many gods in the West were also greedy for worldly treasures.
But I didn’t originally mean to talk about gods or the like.
Nodding, Lu Ming said: "Most of them will be returned to the people in the future. Let's not talk about this anymore. How are you feeling recently? Are there any signs of the rules that imprison you being loosened?"
Sekhmet shook his head, but asked in surprise: "What do you mean when you say return it to the people? In fact, I just deliberately made you angry. I have read your information. You are like a prophet about the development of science and technology and economy.
, over the past twenty years or so, the companies and projects you have invested in have led the technological progress of almost the entire continent, and you truly deserve this."
Lu Ming was startled and couldn't help laughing: "Why, are you afraid that because of your words, I will give away all our family's property for nothing?"
Sekhmet's delicate face immediately turned red, and then he shook his head, "Do my words have the slightest weight to you? I know this!" He whispered, "Such a high status, to be so frivolous.
.”
Lu Ming smiled: "Yes, I should be an old man with a white beard, full of majesty, the most noble emperor in the empire, but I am also your husband, right?"
"My husband is the Commander-in-Chief of the Federation, Bit, not the Emperor of the Northern Territory." Sekhmet stood up, "I'm leaving!" Without waiting for Lu Ming's reply, he turned around and left.
Looking at her handsome figure in snow-white clothes, Lu Ming rubbed his nose and started talking to her, joking with her.
But after spending a long time together, my relationship with her is indeed not as tense as before.
