Alien paradise

There were hundreds of people watching this big thing on the sidelines. Most of them were farmers living nearby, but there were also some people who came here specially, such as reporter Judy, priest Katerina, and Lieutenant Colonel Ryan. Kerry.

"Mr. Executive Officer, are you here too?" Katerina nodded to him.

"Yes, come and take a look. After all, this is the key to determining whether Brilliant Castle can be self-sufficient." He walked over with a smile on his face.

Executive Officer is what outsiders call him. Although it is a bit flattering, Xue Quan deliberately does not point it out. He knew what kind of organization the paradise was, and the chief person in charge, Chao, didn't care about the title at all.

In the past ten days or so, he has given the Old Continent Investigation Team considerable freedom of action. As long as they do not interfere with the operational policies of the convenience center, Xue Quan will not block their whereabouts.

The benefits of this are also quite direct.

That is, he can obtain a lot of information about the Old World through the investigation team.

"But why do you want to be self-sufficient so much?" Ryan murmured, looking at the large machinery in front of him. "The cost of this thing should be quite high, maybe so high that it can buy a whole ship of grain. The current interruption of trade is because of the old The mainland has misunderstood this side. After His Royal Highness listens to Mr. Farrellan's report, everything will return to normal. In fact, you don't need to worry about food problems at all."

"Ahem..." Katerina coughed twice, as if to remind Ryan of the content of the discussion.

"What's wrong, am I right?" Ryan refused to answer the question at all. Instead, he glanced at his companions in confusion, "Brilliant Castle is just a bridgehead for exploring the New World, and it should receive support from the Old World."

The priestess sighed and simply ignored him.

Xue Quan could see that the three people in this group had different political stances, and their attitudes towards the Paradise Cult's actual control of Brilliant Castle were also quite subtle; only Ryan, the nominal leader of the group, had almost no prejudice against the Paradise Cult. If If he is not a master of controlling people's hearts, he is a rookie who doesn't care about politics.

It's really strange that the prince would choose him as the team leader.

"By the way, Mr. Executive Officer, I wonder how far you have progressed in the excavation of the original site of the Ash Hill Mine? Have you found Gewei's body and her secret artifact?" Katerina asked proactively.

Xue Quan shook his head regretfully, "There are too many rocks collapsing. Without large-scale excavation machines, our search progress is quite limited. Considering that there is still a lot of water under the mine, maybe we will never find you." A fellow priest."

Katerina nodded, without much sadness on her face, "The shell of the secret artifact is made of silver steel mixed with pyroxene. It will not decay even if it is soaked for a hundred years. I hope it can be restored again." One day to see it.”

"If there is good news, I will notify you immediately." Xue Quan said with a regretful tone.

He now knows that the main purpose of sending Katerina here is to ensure that Ouroboros can be returned to the hands of the church. As for the death of an execution priest in the battle with the evil god, they actually don't care much about it. care.

I have to say that the Shenji Cult is quite ruthless in some aspects.

At this moment, billows of steam erupted from the top of Pioneer 1!

"The strange structure started normally, now switch to the normal control mode!" the commander shouted loudly while standing on the temporary wooden platform. Xue Quan recognized him. He should be a senior named Xiao from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. After putting on the body provided by Paradise, he looked at least ten years younger.

"What is the normal mode?" Ryan asked curiously.

"I guess it's a mode that doesn't require a special engineer to keep an eye on it. Just like most trains, it can keep running as long as it starts." Katerina shrugged.

"She's right. After all, there are so few people with talent, and we can't equip every machine with a magician." Xue Quan confirmed. Of course, this strange structure also has shortcomings, that is, it needs to carry a huge water tank, and its size is destined to be small. As for the steam magic device that has always been controlled by a magician, it can be the size of a pocket watch, greatly improving its portability.

The driving wheels of Pioneer 1 began to rotate slowly, dragging the thick tracks to roll forward - the moment it moved forward, the shovel and plow mounted on the head immediately scooped up the hard soil piece by piece, while the shovel and plow mounted on the rear The blade plow will draw grooves in the excavated soil. At the same time, the robotic arms, under the control of dedicated personnel, began to spread seeds into the trenches.

In just one trip through the water, Pioneer 1 completed the reclamation and sowing of nearly ten acres of the experimental field. As it slowly turned around and prepared to reclaim the next area, the crowd of onlookers burst into exclamation and excitement. Praise.

This is the first time they have seen such farming efficiency!

To know the scope of ten acres of land in the past, it took ten farmers to work for seven or eight days. Even if horses were added, the construction period could only be shortened by half. Based on this efficiency calculation, this machine can turn over all the land outside the Brilliant Castle in just two weeks!

"Praise the God of Machines... I never thought that one day I would see the revolution in mechanical tools in the New World." Katerina sighed sincerely, "If the kind of machine that can fly is still in the category of unreachable by non-geniuses, this Farming machinery is a mature technology in all aspects, but it was first born in Brilliant Castle, which is really surprising."

"Because there is no market for it... I am afraid that farmers will not be able to afford it even if they spend their entire life's savings." Ryan is still obsessed with the issue of money. "Perhaps only the lords of rich lands will consider this kind of invention."

"What if we didn't build it for sale?" Xue Quan said with a smile, "If you think about it from another angle, you will find that it can do a lot."

"Not for sale?" Ryan looked at him incomprehensibly, "I thought that the purpose of all products was to sell them to others."

"Most of the time, yes. But for some special commodities, selling services is more appropriate than selling the tools themselves." Xue Quan didn't intend to hide it, "If farmers only need to spend ten Therils, they can use the joint reclamation If I could carve out a day for myself, would the situation be different again?"

This is the idea of ​​sharing.

There are already countless shared goods on the planet, but they are still new here.

Katerina's eyes couldn't help but light up.

Ryan scratched his head, "It sounds a bit like renting, but can ten silver coins a day guarantee a profit?"

"Absolutely. Because we don't need to get this return from farmers, we are thinking about the entire city."

When--when--

Suddenly, a distant bell sounded from the direction of Brilliant Castle, spreading like ripples across the entire countryside.

Xue Quan frowned. This frequency was actually an alarm bell when he discovered that the enemy was attacking!

Have the cultists appeared again?

He immediately returned to the motorcycle, "I have to rush back immediately, please help yourself."

"Wait a minute, this is a wake-up call, right?" Ryan stopped him, "Take me with you, I can help you eliminate the invading enemies."

Xue Quan has naturally heard of his skills.

Now that the host, Mr. Chao and Miss Evil are all away, it is undoubtedly a good thing to have a stronger warrior than Sandela.

"Okay. Then come up."

When the other party jumped into the back seat, Xue Quan turned the accelerator and sped towards the city!
