Chapter 401 400 We have steam engines and carriages, combined
Chapter 401 400. We have steam engines and horse-drawn carriages. Wouldn’t it be nice to combine them together? - [Additional update 710]
Menghaha went offline soon.
This scared Ashina and the other girls.
They had already heard about what had just happened from the anxious Xiao Ashina. After hearing that Menghaha had taken apart the calculation orb with his own hands, Mrs. Shui and Lan Huahua, who had always done things in a leisurely manner, looked at each other.
They all saw the seriousness and surprise in each other's eyes.
On the one hand, I am surprised that this physicist is really capable. He has taken apart the famously complex calculation orb just a few days after entering the game. On the other hand, he is surprised that this girl is too reckless, right?
In fact, as far as they know, there are quite a few players in the game who doubt the authenticity of Transia, but everyone maintains a friendly attitude on the surface and slowly investigates in private.
Only Meng Ha Biao Huhu keenly observed the special characteristics of the calculation orb after entering the game and started to operate it. She successfully did what many people wanted to do but did not dare to do, and now she seems to A little "price" was paid for this reckless behavior.
"Are all physicists such idiots?"
Lumina complained angrily and angrily:
"Sister Cement is usually like this. When she encounters a problem, she can't help but want to solve it. She doesn't want to wait for a minute! This idiot has taken herself offline. I suspect her account has been banned?"
"No, it's not."
Sister Pomegranate walked in from outside the tent and said to the other girls:
"I just called her. Mengha said that she was offline because there was something wrong in the real laboratory that she needed to deal with. It had nothing to do with the progress in the game. She also said that because of her action of taking apart the calculation orb, Mo Mo Master Fei saw her potential and wrote her a letter of recommendation to join the eldest lady's psychic guild.
It can be regarded as triggering a hidden mission.
She told us not to worry, it would be online by tomorrow at the latest.”
"Well, that's it."
Xiao Ashina breathed a sigh of relief.
However, when she looked around, she found that everyone's expressions were not good-looking.
"Who does she think she can deceive?"
For the first time, Mrs. Shui showed such real dissatisfaction. She folded her arms and said to Sister Pomegranate seriously with a frosty face:
"I can accept the process of slowly making friends with strangers, and I can tolerate the quirks of others, but I can't accept this kind of insincere and unreal relationship. I don't want to maintain this layer of window paper anymore, so I open the skylight Speak clearly!
Pomegranate, you must tell this matter to your mysterious friend immediately! Either she will tell us her true identity, or she will leave the Silver Moon Pride Group!
I can't put other people in danger because of her, and I don't want to ruin the good place I finally found to relax and unwind because of some issues that have nothing to do with me and don't care about.
May I?"
Mrs. Shui's tone was questioning.
But judging from the frosty expression on her face at this moment, this was clearly an order that could not be disobeyed.
Sister Pomegranate didn't want to pry into her friend's secret, so she was a little hesitant, but Lan Huahua bumped her wrist and winked at her.
Pomegranate could only nod helplessly.
Seeing Mrs. Shui's rare anger, she was actually a little frightened. Pomegranate and everyone here knew very well that the Silver Moon Pride Group was founded by Lumina, but she was not the real core figure of the team.
.
At present, Mrs. Shui is leading the team and assuming the role of "parent".
But soon, Sister Pomegranate no longer needed to hesitate. Less than ten minutes after the team meeting ended, her cell phone rang.
After the call was connected, I heard Menghaha say on the other side:
"I'm sorry, my reckless behavior today must have caused you trouble. I don't even need to think about it to know how you will be complained by your well-hidden companion. I will not be online in the next few days.
I'm going to the capital.
There is a high-level emergency inquiry that requires me to attend as a witness. The good news is that the matter has made progress immediately after I joined. The bad news is that I am actually not very willing to see this sudden 'progress'.
"
"ah?"
Sister Pomegranate was stunned and asked:
"What the hell is going on! Please explain to me clearly why this happened suddenly."
"Don't ask too much, Pomegranate, don't ask too much."
Mengha's voice was full of exhaustion caused by overthinking and fright, and she whispered:
"When I come back, I will make it clear to you. Also, let Lumina pack her things and return home immediately! Don't delay."
"But Mrs. Shui's private plane can't go there now, it can't apply for a route and it can't take off. Air traffic control has been implemented there due to the pandemic."
"The embassy will arrange a return route for her tonight, and someone will contact her. Remember what I told you, and tell her not to ask too many questions, and just follow the instructions."
At the same time, in the office of the First National Arsenal of Transia, Brother Zhongzhong was preparing to log off with a pained face.
He didn't know what went wrong, but a call from his immediate superior told him and his team members to immediately take all the information about "Real World" and leave for the capital.
Depend on!
Something big must have happened.
Who the hell is this "little cutie" who made this? I'm obviously almost done with this drawing.
——
Murphy had no idea what kind of ripples his "improvisational performance" would cause in another world, and he didn't even regard it as something that needed attention.
After giving a small "warning" to the daring Meng Haha, with a sense of mischievous joy, Mr. Murphy walked around his territory with rare high spirits.
Now the whole of Transia is his territory, he can go wherever he wants and no one can stop him, but the problem is that there aren't really many places to go and play in Transia at the moment.
Scarlet Castle, which is currently under reconstruction, is already the most "prosperous" place in Transia. You can imagine the loneliness and dilapidation in other places.
At present, the transaction between Hogg and Plague Town has not been completed, and the construction of the defense line near the swamp has not yet started. However, the population inspection and the construction in the territory are progressing steadily. According to the current progress, the residence should be completed before winter.
Murphy suddenly found himself free.
It feels great to feel that everything is on track and moving forward smoothly. Although the crisis in Xiko City and Filthy Swamp still exists, it is OK to do it step by step as there is a solution.
"I already have 700 available places on hand."
Murphy stretched his wings wantonly in the air to soar under the dusk and night, and he calculated:
"Releasing 50 per week can last until the Black Disaster arrives, and the territory's population is still increasing. When the last two months arrive, this number can be appropriately relaxed to 100 per week!
Well, that's it.
According to Miriam's statistics, it takes about half a month for new players to enter the Black Iron Trial process under normal circumstances. In other words, when the Black Disaster arrives, there will be two thousand Black Iron warriors forming an elite ranger.
The ambition is not unattainable.
Finally, fate favored me again and everything got better!"
Murphy wanted to laugh wildly in the air.
However, he did not do so in the end because he was concerned about his own dignity and personality. After visiting several farms, he planned to go back to the corridor to find Tris for a "date" tonight.
Tris doesn't know what she's been doing lately and has been keeping her in her laboratory.
Mysterious.
My original intention of not wanting to disturb her was good, but always being so distant would make the relationship seem weak. So tonight I will get two bottles of good wine to celebrate with the Scarlet Witch.
"You believe me! There is absolutely no risk in investing in my project. I have a complete plan and have already started preparing for physical production. I need your support now."
Just as Murphy flew over the "Pride of the Lion" village, his keen sense allowed him to hear the conversation coming from the village chief's office.
The content of this conversation immediately attracted Murphy, the curious vampire lord. He landed silently and hid on the roof of the village chief's office, listening to the sounds coming from inside.
In the office where a few gas lamps were lit to make it seem like daytime, the pink cat Cat Rabbit, the head of the Lion King's Pride Village, was holding a black cat who didn't know where it came from, posing like a godfather, and sat down
Listen to the description of this uninvited "guest" in front of you on the chair.
And the person who came to visit the village chief was Wu Nijiang, the son of the "three generals of executive players", a full insurance semi-contractor.
The story of this guy coming to the game to "search for relatives" has become a meme on the forum, and it has become one of his dark histories, together with the embarrassing incident that he was stabbed in the butt by a skeleton army for the first time he participated in a battle.
Widespread.
Every time Wu Nijiang appears on the forum, someone will tease him about this, which makes Wu Nijiang never tire of it.
However, even though he had fulfilled his mother's request, found his unreliable father in the game, and successfully resolved the precarious family problem, new problems arose.
That is, the "Internet addiction" of the fully insured and semi-employed man has not been cured, and Wu Nijiang has also contracted a new "Internet addiction".
He now spends almost all his time in Transia every day except for work and eating. Not only did he find himself a logistics officer position in the administrative department, he even achieved a breakthrough in the combat profession.
He is already a level 10 hunter and only needs to polish his skills and collect equipment before he can start his own black iron trial.
But at the moment, Wu Nijiang's energy is obviously not on improving his skills. He is holding the plan book in his arms with bright eyes, and persuades the smiling pink cat Maotu in front of him:
"Believe me, Brother Rabbit, my plan is absolutely perfect!"
"I understand, and I also believe in your professional ability."
The very calm and smooth pink cat Cat Rabbit stroked the black cat pet named "Porchi" he picked up from the wild with a sense of depression, and asked curiously:
"But what I'm more curious about is, when you thought of this genius idea, why did you come to me for investment? Logically speaking, you should go to Xiao Wei Ming or Xiao Fu Ge first. I'm obviously already very low-key.
Already."
"Hey, other people don't know your reputation as Brother Rabbit, how can we administrative players not know it? You are the only one who can be retained by Archon Miriam personally, right?"
Wu Nijiang grinned and said:
"Of course I also asked my dad, and the advice he gave me was that it's best to find you, because the development direction you have set for your village is the logistics and transportation industry, and your demand for vehicles is that of all players and NPC groups.
The biggest in.
This good idea of mine must be shown to discerning people.
Aren’t you the best ‘angel investor’ I could find right now?”
"Oh, is it my half-hearted suggestion? That's no wonder."
Maomaotu nodded. Being cautious by nature, he took the drawing handed over by Wu Nijiang, opened it and looked at it. Then he frowned and said:
"I'm not a professional in vehicles, but the truck you designed is so different from the vehicle I imagined! With such a big chimney, does it need to add coal when driving?"
"Yes, it's actually the principle of a steam train."
Wu Nijiang stepped forward and explained to Cat and Rabbit:
"Look, I put a high-power boiler at the position of the engine. Although the thermal efficiency of the steam engine here is far inferior to that of the internal combustion engine, here because of the magical gold-burning catalyst, the thermal efficiency of the steam engine is greatly improved.
A qualitative leap has been achieved.
It can even be compared to the power of third-generation internal combustion engines.
And although this thing looks very unreliable, in fact, I specifically consulted professionals in this field, and little Earl Sharon definitely told me that halflings have been using steam engines for hundreds of years and there have never been a few.
A vicious explosion.
That gold-burning property is really amazing!
It can not only serve as a catalyst to enhance the efficiency of the steam engine, but also stabilize the high temperature and pressure inside it so that it will not react violently.
In short, I didn’t just randomly grab a picture from the Internet and use it to defraud investors. Believe me, I drew this design drawing carefully.
Although it is different from the truck we use and is indeed a bit weird, I am sure that as long as it can be put into production smoothly, your village will no longer have a headache for vehicles.
We want to develop a modern logistics industry, right?
You can't let your villagers drive donkey carts to deliver express delivery and mail, right?"
The pink cat and rabbit didn't answer immediately.
He looked at the design drawings and the quite detailed plan in front of him very cautiously. After a few minutes, he put down the plan and looked at Wu Nijiang and said:
"But you deliberately avoided the most important question. My little friend, where did the steam engine come from? Transia's current industrial level cannot make this thing. You see, I actually did it before I decided to get involved in the postal and logistics industry.
Researched.
If you want to make trucks in batches, you have to find a supplier that can provide you with steam engines stably, either from the Plantagenet Kingdom to the Capetian family, or from the Genoa Peninsula to find the halflings.
Both objects have one thing in common, they are remote and expensive!
According to your plan, the profit you can get from each car will be compressed to the extreme, which is basically equivalent to making no money. If you can't make money in business, you can only continue to lose money.
I guess before you came to me, you must have gone to the administrative office to apply for a startup grant, but it was rejected by Archon Miriam, right?
Look!
The NPCs here are really smart.
The problems I can see, they can see too."
Cat, Cat and Rabbit shook his head and said:
"If you can't solve this problem, then all your plans, no matter how good they are, will remain on paper.
Believe me, my desire for new vehicles is stronger than anyone else, but this is not the reason for me to casually squander the first pot of gold that I have finally saved.
If you want me to invest in you, you have to come up with practical measures."
"I can make one with my hands!"
Wu Nijiang gritted his teeth and said:
"We don't make it according to the standards of halflings. I have seen the steam engine that the Cape family sent to the arsenal. It was too cumbersome and complicated. We directly adopted our mature design and modified it to add gold-burning catalyst placement points.
Okay, I'll tell you the truth, Brother Rabbit.
I have invited several engineers from our factory to come over to ‘do big things’ together, and they have all filled out test applications, but our ‘Transia Dongfeng Vehicle Factory’ now needs start-up funds.”
"!"
Cat, Cat and Rabbit was startled, and he subconsciously asked in a low voice:
"Your factory is a state-owned enterprise, right? Will this cause you trouble?"
"No, everyone is just playing around in their free time. Besides, even if you get those drawings from our factory, you can't make such a precise product if you ask halflings to come over.
The processing accuracy is too far behind.
That’s a special car.”
Wu Nijiang waved his hand disapprovingly.
He gave the details to Maomaotu, who no longer hesitated. He opened the drawer and took out a black psychic bag, placed it in front of Wunijiang, and said:
"I can't use the village's public funds, which will be reserved for later road construction and hotel construction. This is my private sponsorship for you. Let's sign a contract.
After your Dongfeng Vehicle Factory officially completes the design and manufacturing of the truck, you will first sell it to us at a preferential price."
"But there's going to be a war."
Wu Nijiang said with a bit of pain:
"I estimate that once a war breaks out, no matter how much production capacity we have here, it will be transferred to military use."
"That's an unexpected situation I can accept."
Cat, Cat and Rabbit narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:
"If Transia doesn't exist anymore, what's the use of making more money? I don't think Wolf Girl or King Louis will treat us losers and refugees preferentially. I don't want to be a subjugated slave, let alone be laughed at as homeless.
Returnable exiles, so I suggest you tilt it towards the military industry when designing your vehicle.
So if I were you, I wouldn't go to the administrative office to apply for a grant to start a business. I would go directly to Lord Maxim and get enough R&D funds through orders from the military.
Medieval steampunk motorized infantry, wow, it makes you feel good when you think about it, right?
But Lord Maxim is a very stubborn person. If you want to convince him, you have to come up with something tangible first. Believe me, this is the path you vehicle engineers should take."
Murphy, who was hiding on the roof, had a rather strange expression on his face as he listened to the pink cat and rabbit below giving instructions to the vomit sauce.
As expected, there is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon among my own little players.
Speaking of which, the secret report he received from Adele showed that the village chiefs of the five collective farms seemed to be being connected together in an attempt to form a rope to achieve the birth of a political group.
I used to think that it was Lao Huo who was doing something secretly, but now it seems that the real "mastermind" is you, the low-key Lion King's Proud Village Chief, right?
good!
Ambitious! Driven!
Want to be the second consul of Transia?
no problem!
The position is there, perform well and strive for it.
Murphy grinned quietly and flew high into the night sky. He flapped his wings and looked back at the brightly lit office below under the dim moonlight.
"I'm watching you, come on, my warriors from another world!"
