The more Star Warlocks, the greater the power.

The title of fourth-level star warlock, in addition to the powerful abilities it directly brings, is more important in terms of appeal. Attracting more star warlocks to their side will naturally increase their power invisibly. When Jiang Huang was the Royal Star Warlock, his power was more than 10 times greater than it is now. An Feng and Liu Kuangxing Warlock also have considerable advantages over other fourth-level Star Warlocks.

Of course Cheng Jinzhou hopes that his strength will increase, but the more so, the more he cares about the character of the star warlock he cooperates with.

In this regard, he is different from other star warlocks.

Bai Jing looked at him in confusion, Xi Wuyong looked at him, and the other five star warlocks also looked at him.

Under the pressure of seven people, Cheng Jinzhou coughed and cleared his throat: "Our main work now is three things, making explosives, mining, and making steam engines. As you heard, they are all practical, and two of them are manufacturing Yes. If you are interested in this aspect, welcome, if not, I’m sorry..."

According to him, mathematicians who study calculus and mechanics are as incompatible as pork sellers and fruit sellers.

But what he didn't expect was that all five star warlocks raised their hands.

Cheng Jinzhou seems to have forgotten that the star warlocks of this era are all true geniuses. If they want to make something, they must have a way - self-confidence comes from practice, and Star Warlocks discriminate against practice because it is too simple.

What’s more, something that Cheng Jinzhou couldn’t imagine is yet to come.

More and more star warlocks will hear about Cheng Jinzhou's achievements, more and more star warlocks will hear about the achievements of Cheng Jinzhou's team, and more and more star warlocks will discover that there is a place that actually assesses new franchisees. The Star Warlock.

**********

Scientists in the early days of world history actually wore many hats.

Let’s take Newton, whom everyone is most accustomed to, as an example. He was first a mathematician, second a physicist, then studied theology, and he also contributed theoretically to the invention of the steam engine.

In addition, there are more interesting examples. Qian Xuesen, the father of China's two bombs and one satellite, has claimed countless times that the reason why he was able to develop nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs and satellites was not because of messy scientific principles, but because of in-depth research and study of Marx. The philosophy of doctrine... Let's not say whether he is good at philosophy, but he is definitely good at being an official.

No matter what comrades say, in short, whatever geniuses have to do is much simpler than ordinary people.

Don’t be jealous, some people are born to get more with less effort.

As a nobleman, Cheng Jinzhou was born not to have to work hard for a living. As talented star warlocks who wanted to study mechanical and other problems, they seemed to be able to do it easily.

The five star warlocks all found reasons to stay. Among them, Warlock Duan Xiangxing insisted on carrying out his mathematical research, and was recognized by Warlock Jiang Huangxing to a certain extent, and joined his calculation team. The older Wen Rui and Huang Xuan don't really believe in calculus, but they still want to participate in Cheng Jinzhou's team, so they spend time with Xiao Wen every day to study the problem of vacuum - which seems to be relatively pure. Theoretical issues, as far as the Star Warlocks are concerned, are already shameful practical studies.

Warlock Liang Yuxing, to Cheng Jinzhou's surprise, was very interested in growing crops. In his words, he had already had the interest, but he just didn't have the time to realize it.

Zhu Jingsheng's talent in chemistry is average, but since he is willing to join, Bai Jing, Qian Lan and others will not stop him. Researching explosives is also a hard job. In particular, Cheng Jinzhou likes to develop continuously upstream and downstream.

As a result, without Cheng Jinzhou knowing it, his team increased by 5 people again, bringing the total number to an astonishing 17 people, almost like an army.

Although everyone did not clearly regard Cheng Jinzhou as the leader of the team - mainly because of the existence of Jiang Huangxing Warlock - they could clearly feel the recognition of many Star Warlocks in daily chats and discussions.

Such recognition is not easy. Under the premise that no more content could be leaked, Cheng Jinzhou carried out a painstaking and difficult re-creation process. He often used 17th-century knowledge to explain 17th-century knowledge, and tried to make the main direction correct.

Everyone's problems and problem-solving skills also gave Cheng Jinzhou a lot of help. His 14-year-old little brain has almost started the process of redevelopment again.

Yisu seems to be taking the time to train Cheng Jinzhou, and his actions always have many purposes. When he needs Cheng Jinzhou to study, Xiao Cheng will have an inexplicable sense of crisis.

In the second week after the five Star Warlocks temporarily joined, Jiang Huangxing Warlock came to the discussion site with his own whiteboard.

He is already very old, and it is almost impossible to create good things, but he likes the process of thinking very much, and he hopes to dedicate his last few decades to mathematics and physics, regardless of whether there is any reward.

Because of this, Jiang Huang liked the seminar site even more. Here, he could touch the flash of thinking every time.

Several gentlemen who are good at chemistry have already started a heated discussion. Manufacturing nitroglycerin and large-scale manufacturing of nitroglycerin are completely different concepts. For example, soda ash manufacturing during the Republic of China was known as the foundation of industry. Its manufacturing technology was firmly in the hands of a few foreign companies. Countless chemists devoted their lives to research - the so-called research was industrial manufacturing methods. As for experiments, Indoor production, college students of that era could master it at will.

Jiang Huang listened quietly and did not express his opinions easily.

The current Cheng Jinzhou team is already somewhat different from the normal Copenhagen team. Because the Copenhagen Institute of Theoretical Physics at that time only studied physics, and focused on quantum physics, an emerging thing.

In Daxia, the research directions of the star warlocks are different, and the content of the discussions is naturally different. In the past, everyone would still limit the content to mathematics and physics, but with Cheng Jinzhou's encouragement, chemistry and mechanics have now become the main content of the discussion.

There is no way around this. When science has not developed greatly, it is willful to want to study something alone. Cheng Jinzhou is willing to let the discussion be free.

As long as the discussion persists, anyone can join and leave a discussion group at any time. This method seems to be more conducive to the genius of the Star Warlocks.

There are often astrologers who study mathematics and physics and say something useful in mechanical aspects, and the latter will inevitably be helpful to the former.

Jiang Huang adjusted himself to a good position, beckoned the star warlock apprentice to hand him a cup of tea, and then slowly sipped it.

After Cheng Jinzhou entered the venue, he sat next to Warlock Jiang Huangxing. After greeting him, he took out his pen to record. Seriously participating in the discussion is both a requirement and a practical need of Mr. Isu, so that he can ensure his influence among the Star Warlocks.

In Daxia, power may be able to maintain the officialdom and the army, but it cannot maintain the relationship between the star warlocks.

After listening for a while, Jiang Huang suddenly asked Cheng Jinzhou: "What do you think of their discussion?"

"Whose?" Cheng Jinzhou was stunned by the sudden question.

"The essence of combustion." Jiang Huang was talking about the content of the chemistry group. He tapped the penholder gently and said: "The star warlocks in Xingzhou also tried to extract phlogiston in the early years, but they never succeeded. …”

"Do you believe in the phlogiston theory?"

Jiang Huang smiled and said: "I'm not familiar with this aspect, so I want to hear your opinion."

"I thought you really focused on calculus." Cheng Jinzhou teased and said, "I don't believe in phlogiston."

"What about the metal calcination experiment?"

What the two said was a famous mistake. In the early days of chemistry, people believed that fire was a material entity composed of countless small and active particles. Such particles can combine with other elements to form compounds or exist in free form. As a verification, someone tried to calcine the metal and weigh it accurately, and found that the metal became heavier.

Therefore, the statement "metal + phlogiston = ashes" is very popular among people.

We now know that the calcination of metal increases weight because the oxygen in the air forms a compound with the metal, thus increasing the amount of oxygen. However, in the 17th century, people believed that it was one of the evidences of the existence of phlogiston.

Cheng Jinzhou had no intention of joining this big debate. Because not many people pay attention to chemistry, and also because the current conditions are not available to overturn the phlogiston theory. Historically, the reason why Lomonosov was able to overturn the phlogiston theory was mainly based on two points - conservation of mass and precise quantitative analysis, neither of which were within the scope of what the gentlemen of the 17th century could accomplish.

Besides, he didn't want to stand out any more.

Seeing the members having a heated discussion, Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but shake his head and said: "Heat is caused by movement. Heat can cause combustion. Our star array can also prove this. Phlogiston does not exist in reality."

"Maybe we just didn't find it." Jiang Huang leaned on the chair and smiled: "Didn't Cao Feng discover smaller creatures recently? We will always find a way to see more small creatures."

Cheng Jinzhou smiled and didn't answer. Accurate proof was indeed a bit troublesome. On the other hand, Cao Feng and Jin Xi’s experiments are amazing. They have already begun to study the composition of cells, such as chlorophyll, etc., and have entered into the naming process.

It can be imagined that this is an act that can gain a lot of contribution points.

As he spoke, Erwin climbed over from his mechanical group and urged: "Mr. Cheng, you have to find a way to get more workers. If you wait any longer, my experiment will not be able to continue. We just There was talk of building a bigger steam engine.”

"How big is the steam engine? How to solve the problem of materials? It needs a lot of steel, right?"

"You can entrust Xia Jing's association to help with the manufacturing." Erwin clapped his hands and said: "I want to make a bigger steam engine. I will make a 20-meter-high one first, and then a 30-meter-high one. One day I will be able to make a ship." A steam engine of the same size can drain rivers and lakes at will and open up more farmland..."

We cannot expect that the Star Warlocks of this era will have much environmental protection spirit.

But Cheng Jinzhou couldn't help but be infected when he saw Erwin's excitement.

If the Star Alliance is added to the mix, he can indeed do more.

Jiang Huang was used to being a leader and asked calmly: "How are you going to get more workers?"

"First drive away people from several nearby mines, and more than 1,000 workers will be added."

"What next? Increase wages?"

Erwin winked and said, "I don't care, I just want workers."

Cheng Jinzhou shook his head and laughed: "Then when the discussion is over, let's go meet the gentlemen from the nearby mine.

**********

De'an first discovered coal about 60 years ago, and then entered a slow development process.

Because the quality of coal is average and the local Jianhe River is not navigable, it is almost impossible to sell coal to other places - cheap coal cannot even earn the freight.

However, relying only on a few thousand people in the county, or adding a little consumption from the ceramic industry, De'an's coal mines are still in the status of small coal mines after 60 years of development. The workers signed a contract of sale to the mine owner, then dug coal in the dark coal kiln where they could not bend down, and then pulled the coal out while crawling. Finally, they settled wages with the mine owner based on the weight of the coal.

Cheng Jinzhou occupied all the areas near the coal mine. The reason why he did not drive them away immediately was that he was not yet proficient in the operation of the coal mine, and he also needed them to temporarily provide De'an with the coal he needed.

But under Erwin's strong request, the current existence of several small mines seems to be really unnecessary.

As soon as the discussion ended, Cheng Jinzhou called Lu Xu and prepared to fly over.

Considering his current status, he simply called Xu Guinian again and asked him to grab Lu Xu's feet and lift into the air together. Xiao Wen also followed behind, wearing a hat to cover his foreign face.

The poor county magistrate, a man in his fifties, had his muscles loosened by the blow in the high altitude. He truly experienced the feeling of a roofless airplane.

The three small coal mines next to De'an are all connected together. The winding dirt road leads to the last cave dwelling and stops moving forward. From a distance, you can see the mine piles they piled up in the center of the field, as well as workers taking a rest in twos and threes.

Capitalists are also so cruel and ruthless. The harsh environment in the mines is caused by the objective environment. The mine owners will allow the miners to have adequate sleep. In fact, in addition to malicious propaganda, slightly more overtime pay and less regular wages are the basis for attracting workers' efforts. Moreover, the three mines will also compete.

The Cheng Lu team and Xu Guinian, who was wearing official uniforms, easily attracted people's attention. First, the guards of the mine were running there, and then the three mine owners gathered together.

De'an's coal mine has been in the hands of the Cui family, Xu family and Chen family since a long time ago. The relationship between the three families is pretty good, especially in recent times. The common danger has united them, like a group of monkeys who saw a tiger, or a team of wild boars who saw a jackal.

Lu Xu looked at the messy people below, even surrounded by weapons, and smiled happily, feeling that it was time to take action again. Xu Guinian closed his eyes in fear and held Lu Xu's thigh tightly with both hands.

Under the miraculous gazes of everyone, Lu and Xu landed in the most open area of ​​the mine.

The three mine owners ran over quickly. They had long expected that the new county magistrate would come, so they slept in the mine all day, but they did not expect that he would come so late.

More ordinary miners looked at Cheng Jinzhou and Lu Xu with infinite curiosity. Many of them had never seen a real star warlock in their lives.

The down-to-earth feeling made Xu Guinian recall it for a long time. It was not until Lu Xu gave him a shove that the county magistrate came to his senses and said in a powerful voice: "Where is the mine owner?"

"The young one is here." The three guys who had been waiting there immediately fell to the ground and kowtowed.

Even according to Daxia's rules, they met each other as a courtesy.

Cheng Jinzhou's face softened slightly and he said, "Who are you the owners of these mines?"

The three of them looked at each other and whispered: "We are all deputy mine owners."

"What about the mine owner?"

"Went to another place."

Cheng Jinzhou was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the residents of Daxia had long understood the practice of nationalization.

He nodded noncommittally and said: "Then starting from today, the three mines will stop working. The reason is..."

As he spoke, he looked at Xu Guinian.

The county magistrate, who was born in Juren, reacted slowly. After thinking for a long time, he said: "We need to verify the income of the three mines for tax collection."

"Then I dare to ask, sir, how long will the work be suspended?" one of the deputy mine owners asked in a low voice.

"Let's wait until the tax is paid next year." After Cheng Jinzhou finished speaking, he said to Xu Guinian: "Go and gather everyone together, announce the matter, and bring everyone to the mine in our county. This will prevent the miners from having no source of income and causing trouble."

Xu Guinian took the opportunity and ran away quickly. The mine owners in De'an County all have connections with Jinchuan and even Nanling. Although they cannot compare with Cheng Jinzhou, they can definitely beat him to death as an eighth-grade official.

Erwin gently patted the shoulders of the three deputy mine owners and said, "Don't worry. If the miners need people in the future, they can come back to you."

The three of them smiled and didn't dare to say anything.

When the mine owners left, they were told many rules, but most of them dealt with how to deal with when county officials showed up. But facing Cheng Jinzhou, who was the county magistrate and the star warlock, he lost his temper.

Groups of miners were gathered together. Among all kinds of jobs, the most tiring and dirtiest ones are not necessarily coal miners, but their jobs must be one of the most tiring and dirtiest. Compared with the underground life in Daxia, coal mines in the 21st century are simply paradise.

Erwin was worthy of being a star warlock born in the temple. Following the crowd, he described a wonderful future life to everyone one by one: there would be white flour or rice to eat every day, meat every day, and one thing every ten days. A big portion of meat...

Although by the standards of future generations, Cheng Jinzhou's mine is synonymous with sweatshop, but by Daxia's standards, it is almost a high-level treatment.

After Xiao Wen gave a thorough explanation of the benefits he had and did not have, he even promoted it: "Anyone who has brothers or sisters at home can be hired by De'an to work. Regardless of whether they have skills or not, as long as they are willing to contribute, they will always have a meal." Food, if you are willing to learn, we have dedicated people to teach you techniques and learn how to use machinery, then you can sit there and work every day..."

He spoke quickly, and clearly used the church's preaching methods, which made many people's eyes open.

Cheng Jinzhou shook his head in a funny way, then rode on Lu Xu and prepared to leave.

He came here to see the mining site to see the scale of the area. Unfortunately, it has no special impact. Looking at the workers crawling out of the mines the size of dog holes, carrying only bags weighing forty or fifty kilograms, you can know that the efficiency of single-person production is extremely low.

At this moment, the Cui family mine owner who was kneeling in the middle raised his head and whispered: "Sir, do you want more people?"

"Oh, do you have connections?" Cheng Jinzhou stopped.

"yes."

"how is it like?"

The owner of the Cui family mine didn't seem to want to say it out loud. He glanced at Cheng Jinzhou carefully and said, "I can find someone for you, that..."

Cheng Jinzhou knew what he meant and said directly: "How much?"

"One tael of silver per person." The other party immediately said happily.

"A worker or a slave?" Cheng Jinzhou continued to ask. Workers are different from slaves. Although slaves do not need to pay wages, they require full-time security personnel and their work efficiency is also low, although they are suitable for mining.

"There are workers and there are slaves." Probably because he didn't know Cheng Jinzhou's preferences, the mine owner said it carefully.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his chin and asked, "What's your name?"

When he speaks now, he has a condescending and aristocratic tone. Just like people who stay in BJ's for a long time have the smell of the imperial capital, people who stay in New York for a long time have the smell of copper, and people who stay in the toilet for a long time have a peculiar smell.

"The younger one's name is Cui Huo."

"Well, Cui Huo, you can talk to the people below about the specific price, workers or slaves, how old they are, how strong they are, etc." Cheng Jinzhou waved his hand and said, "If you can get 10,000 people, I will reward you greatly, young master.”

He is about to cross the threshold of a three-star warlock. If he negotiates the price with ordinary people, not only will the price drop, but he will also be more likely to be cheated.

Cui Huo kowtowed happily again, with a blood mark on his forehead. The other two deputy mine owners are a little silly and stupid, probably just to make ends meet.

Xiao Wen happily counted his new workers and said happily: "From today on, you are a glorious member of De'an Coal Mine. We can mine, we can make steam engines, and we can dig more and more coal." mine……"

Lu Xu asked boredly: "We don't kill people?"

"No one was killed."

"Don't fight either?"

"There are no Star Warlocks."

"Where's that over there?" Lu Xu said and stretched out his fingers.

Cheng Jinzhou raised his head and saw two small black dots flying over from the clouds in the distance.

"Xiao Wen." He called out quickly, then quickly patted Lu Xu's left shoulder and shouted, "Climb up."

The star array behind the two people lit up like fire, and the blue star array could be seen through their clothes. The turbulent mobilization of star power obviously aroused the other party's idea. They continued to move forward at the original speed, but the height was gradually increasing.

In Star Warlock combat, whoever controls the height controls the air.

…

Beyond word count: Today’s chapters have been combined into one large chapter.

Two-thirds of this month has passed, and Struggling Bird has persevered tenaciously.

It is coming to the end of the month, and according to regulations, the monthly ticket award must reach 500 votes. Now that we are halfway there, I want to give up the monthly vote, but I feel that the previous roar was wasted. Now I roar again. I wonder if you have a new monthly vote or have not voted yet...

…
