Entering the city gate from the oasis, Gu Yazi, the current president of Langya Academy of Sciences, led a group of old men to greet him.
"Please get up quickly, you are all my Langya's treasures!" Li Wenhao stepped forward quickly and asked everyone to get up with a smile.
Looking carefully, there are still standing next to Gu Yazi, the rune master Qing Xuzi, and the newly abducted dwarf pharmacy master Tu Gulu.
The rune master Qingxuzi was nothing more than Tu Gulu, who had a rosy face and didn't realize that he had been abducted. He seemed to be very happy while he was there.
"Your Highness, you came to inspect this time, but it's the right time. Start with our Mechanical Research Institute?"
We haven’t seen each other for a while, but the old man Gu Yazi is getting stronger and stronger. He pats his chest proudly and opens his mouth. It seems that he has made some major breakthrough.
"Okay, let's start from the Mechanical Research Institute!" Li Wenhao agreed with a smile and a very kind attitude.
Although he has little education, don't forget that he was born in the arms business and is very aware of the terrifying power that these old scientific researchers can bring.
It is no exaggeration to say that every master-level figure is no less powerful than an elite legion, or even far exceeds it!
On Earth, there once was a general from a beautiful country who once said that Mr. Qian could stand up to five divisions no matter where he was. This was true.
"Your Highness, please get on the train!" Gu Yazi led the way, and a group of more than a dozen people boarded the track steam train in the middle of the road.
This locomotive is relatively small, only three meters high and less than five meters long. There are only seven or eight small carriages hanging behind it. It seems that it can only pull less than a thousand people in one trip.
"Is this a new product from the Mechanical Research Institute?"
Li Wenhao took Elena onto the train with great interest. He looked around and saw that the seats were covered with black animal skins and were very comfortable to sit on.
"Dudu!" The little train sprayed out a stream of water vapor and started moving slowly.
Gu Yazi stroked his beard and said proudly: "Your Highness gave me a total of three large steam locomotives, one is used for research, and the remaining two are used in the mines. They can not only transport miners, but also pull ore.
These small steam locomotives running in the city are indeed, as His Highness said, new and improved products of our Machinery Research Institute.
Despite its small size, it has pretty good kinetic energy.
The first batch of more than 100 units has been built and will soon be put into use in several large cities such as Langya King City.
In addition, the first railway from Mocheng to Shacheng is also under preparation.
Warlocks were sent half a month ago to harden the sand along the way. If it hadn't been forced to stop due to the war, it might have been completed by now!"
"Okay, very good, Dean Gu has done a great job for his hard work!" Li Wenhao extended his thumb and nodded with satisfaction.
This is no small matter. If small trains are set up in major cities in Langya, and railways are built in all cities, it will be a huge progress for both civilian and military purposes.
After all, using the portal requires a lot of boundary-breaking stones and elves, which is expensive and carries certain risks.
Unless there is an emergency, it is not commonly used by the military, let alone civilian use, which is even more impossible.
Far from it, railways are affordable, safe and widely popular!
"Your Majesty, look, it's your Majesty!"
"Hello, my king!"
"The queen is so beautiful!"
On both sides of the road, pedestrians soon noticed Li Wenhao and his party. After all, they were followed by big guys like Gu Yazi and protected by a large number of guards. It was easy to guess and cheered loudly!
"Hello!"
Li Wenhao smiled and waved. There were many blast furnaces on both sides of the street, one workshop connected to another.
The common people all have healthy complexions, are neatly dressed, and seem to be living a good life.
"Your Highness!" Gu Yazi pointed to the buildings outside the window and said, "Mocheng has been expanded several times and now has a population of more than one million.
It is divided into two major areas, north and south. The southern area is the industrial manufacturing area, and the northern area is the mining and living area.
The industrial zone is divided into four research institutes, namely the Mechanical Research Institute, which is run by the old man and a group of disciples.
The Formation Rune Research Institute is headed by Master Qing Xuzi and many sorcerers from Taiping Dao.
The Kung Fu Battle Formation Research Institute is headed by Vice President Kan Bao of Huaxia University in Wangcheng!
The Biopharmaceutical Research Institute is temporarily in charge of the dwarf pharmacy master Tu Gulu and some new students."
"I am ashamed of myself!"
After Gu Yazi finished speaking, Rune Master Qing Xuzi sat on the seat opposite him and bowed lightly, with a smile that couldn't be concealed at the corner of his mouth.
"Hey, I'm ashamed, I'm very curious about the elixirs and sand fruit cultivation here!" Tu Gulu, a 1.2-meter-tall dwarf, also nodded. He felt incredible about everything here.
There has never been a power that can bring so many masters together to conduct various research experiments regardless of the cost.
In addition, Langya's various elixirs are of perfect quality.
No matter what kind of things they were, they were irresistible temptations for him, a drug addict. He would no longer be happy about returning home to his beautiful wife.
"Tu Gulu, have you written a letter to your family?" Li Wenhao asked with a smile.
"I wrote it, but even if the ransom is delivered, I still decide to stay here!" Tu Gulu licked his face and smiled naively.
"Hahaha, you idiot!"
"I'm still waiting for the ransom from my family, let's just dream!"
"Twenty thousand soul-nourishing jade, you are really a rich man!"
Gu Yazi and others laughed loudly when they heard this. Although they had only been together for a day, Tu Gulu, a guy whose emotional intelligence is directly proportional to his height, had already shaken off his old skills.
Fortunately, everyone knew how to behave, so they just smiled and did not express their suspicions.
But it is inevitable that there is a little sympathy in the eyes.
"Husband, you have found so many masters and this dwarf master, why do you still have to pay a ransom?"
Since entering the city, Elena has been dumbfounded by what she has seen and heard, and she feels like an ignorant country girl.
But as soon as he heard the 20,000 soul-nourishing jade, he immediately came back to his senses, his eyes filled with golden light.
If there weren't too many people at the scene, I would have been drooling, coquettishly hanging myself, begging for support.
This is a total of 20,000 pieces of soul-nurturing jade. The total of their giant Rakshasa Empire now only costs 100 pieces, right?
"You're just kidding, do you take it seriously?" Li Wenhao glanced at me with a funny look on his face.
If he still doesn't understand his own woman, this is another sign of his petty money obsession.
The reason why I brought Elena here to take a look is to let her know how tyrannical my Langya country is, stop thinking about it, and take good care of me.
It is said that daughters should be rich and raised, but in fact, women should also be rich and raised. The richer you are, the more obedient she will be.
Of course, those who should be managed must still be strictly managed and cannot be allowed to get used to it, otherwise trouble will definitely occur.
When everyone entered the Mechanical Research Institute, the first thing they saw was rows of factories and a four-story building.
"Your Highness, although these factories only have one floor above ground, they actually have several floors underground. The deepest factory building has eight floors and is connected to the underground magma river."
Gu Yazi walked in front and continued to introduce: "Please follow me. In the exhibition hall, there is our latest research result, the steel chariot!"
"Oh, have you solved the problem of the durability of the gun barrel?" Li Wenhao's eyes lit up and he quickened his pace.
Now that a tractor has been built, it is not difficult to build a tank again, and it does not need as many functions as an Earth tank, as long as it can run and fire.
The key thing is the spiritual defense barrier and the durability of the gun barrel. You can't just stop after three shots.
Now, whether it is the black iron cannon or the crystal cannon, the biggest problem is that it can only fire three cannons in a short period of time.
