Supply and demand is the truth!

This is why the black market exists.

For many years, Kaka lived on the largest black market in the empire [Treasure Island].

This is a small island located in the south, with only one strait from the mainland. There are various practitioners who make a living on the black market, such as merchants, looters, gamblers, tinkers, pharmacists, thieves and so on.

Everything that exists in the empire can be purchased on Treasure Island. As long as the price can be afforded, someone will put the goods on the shelves.

In fact, the Empire has been cracking down on black markets everywhere. But [Treasure Island] is an overseas territory directly under the empire. It is directly managed by the imperial capital and is protected by imperial laws and regulations. This is something that other black markets cannot do.

Because the taxes brought by transactions here are too much.

When taxes were low, the empire loomed over the taxpayers.

When taxes were high, imperial policy was tilted in favor of taxpayers.

When tax payments exceed the limit that can be curbed by law, the empire will unconditionally protect taxpayers and become their strongest backing.

This was well known to the merchants of the empire.

Mallet Kaka was hired by a merchant to Treasure Island as a tinker. It is not difficult to tell from the name that he is a goblin who does carpentry.

As the number of transactions on Treasure Island increased day by day, and the number of talents in various industries required continued to grow, Mallet Kaka settled on Treasure Island.

He married a female thief and gave birth to his son, Quickfoot Kaka.

The female thief lived with the mallet for many years, until the child was named when she was eight years old. She suffered from an occupational disease and took away all the family's property and was never heard from again.

Kuaijiao has been on the streets since he was very young. He quickly grew into a black market reseller and later gave birth to a son with a female pharmacist who made generic drugs.

When he grew up, little Kaka got his own name: Kuaishou Kaka.

The reason why he got such a name is because Kaka has been dexterous since he was a child and is particularly good at delicate work.

It only takes him a few days to repair a scrapped long-tail truck by himself, and he can transform a pile of scrap metal into a usable heating stove, fishing bench and storage rack.

Kaka is very good at imitating and learning.

Such as some expensive mechanical items, such as mechanical pocket watches owned by nobles and wealthy people, multi-layered silver wine bottles, portable multi-functional belts, walnut chairs with copper poles that can be lifted, lowered and rotated... These are high-end and exquisite props made by the Invention Department , he can imitate and repair.

On Treasure Island, Kaka is called the "High Imitation Master".

Some goblin merchants began to secretly ask him to make some imitations, mix them with the expensive genuine products, and sell them.

Relying on craftsmanship, although Kaka is not rich, he is not hungry either.

But the high imitation and renovation capabilities also caused him trouble.

Someone asked him to make some special replicas.

For example, driving a clockwork motorcycle that explodes while driving, putting a poisonous needle quenched into the pocket watch, adding pop-up handcuffs and iron hoops to the revolving chair, and a hip flask hiding mercury...

This made Kaka shudder.

He knows very well that these things will affect some people, causing some people to disappear or die suddenly, and the subsequent consequences will bring endless trouble to him.

But employers are also very difficult to deal with and find it difficult to refuse. The people who came forward were nominally local robbers and thieves, but they were just errands, and behind them were big figures who controlled power and wealth.

Kaka felt very painful.

"Why do you have to come to me? Other tinkers and engineers can do this too."

This question made the employer laugh: "You are the best at forging and renovating. Who is a good person on Treasure Island? You often do these jobs, don't you?"

Some also said: "Isn't high imitation just about stealing other people's things? What I need is your skills. You'd better be more sensible, accept the gold coins, and make the things for me. This is good for both of us."

The term "high imitation master", which once represented recognition of technology, has become a problem for Kaka.

He finally understood.

The reason is not that other engineers can't do it, but that in everyone's eyes, high imitators are evil goblins who steal technology and craftsmanship.

The evil imitator should do the dirty work.

Those engineers in the invention department are the inventors who stand under the sun and do serious things.

Kaka tried many times to get into the invention department. He applied to start as an unpaid and overworked apprentice, and he would accept it if he could not be evaluated for technical advancement.

But the technical officer responsible for recruitment in the Invention Department told him: "You have to understand that the Invention Department cannot accept a person with serious misdeeds. The Invention Department creates great and brilliant inventions for the empire. It is a respected palace and does not allow anyone to Defiling the cause of the Holy Spirit here!”

"Go back to your treasure island, that's where you should stay."

This hit Kaka hard.

It was not his choice to be born on Treasure Island, but with technology and invention, could it be that what was born in the Invention Department was light and justice, while the technology on Treasure Island was dirty and obscene?

When Kaka was confused and distressed, his father gave him a gift.

That's a little golden turtle.

In the Empire, this is an expensive and popular pet among goblins.

"Although this gift is a little late... you need a little motivation and change, quick feet." The elderly father said: "Take it with you, remember that you will be responsible for its life, and you will soon find yourself direction.”

Kaka raised this turtle named [Little One]. He had not yet thought about his future, but the outside world had been turned upside down.

The emperor of the empire went into exile overseas, and the electors began to take turns fighting for the imperial capital that represented the orthodoxy. The entire empire fell into continuous war and turmoil.

Treasure Island cannot stay away from this.

The chaos ended the tax privileges, and armies with different numbers levied military expenses on the island, saying they would defend it on behalf of the empire. They did not go out of their way to protect Treasure Island. Instead, they repeatedly levied taxes and even went directly to the island to arrest people for various reasons, causing many people on the island to leave and migrate one after another.

Kaka also took his father and [Little One] and followed the merchants to the Resurrection Kingdom to avoid the disaster.

…

The Resurrection Kingdom is a young country, and its main ethnic group is the Bone Ancestors.

Unlike the empire, there is no established aristocratic group here, nor are there local lords or armed forces. As long as you work hard and produce output, you can receive unified remuneration from the kingdom.

Kaka relied on his ability to learn and imitate, quickly adapted to the local area, and even applied to become a senior craftsman in the kingdom.

His main job is to design and test new skeleton creatures.

There are two common skeleton creatures in the Resurrection Kingdom, one is the bone horse, and the other is the skeleton dog.

King Raymond requested: "We cannot be limited to these two species. We must make full use of the advantages of bones, using bone horses and skeleton dogs to transform and strengthen more skeleton types. The oracle said that diversity represents stability.”

Kaka also fully agrees with this.

King Raymond was a technologically savvy national leader, and many of his policies were geared toward better production and manufacturing.

The Twin Snakes Empire has a small number of elites such as merchants and nobles as its main interests, while the main interests of the Resurrection Kingdom are the mass craftsmen and farmers.

The entire Resurrection Kingdom is a huge machine based on the state. Whether in agriculture, animal husbandry or manufacturing, the state distributes materials and tools uniformly and recycles the output, so everyone thinks this is a matter of course.

Because of the divine power of Yao, and the supervision of the apostle Maocao. King Raymond also leads by example, using his strong personal charm and reputation to fully promote the progress of the country and protect the interests of every citizen.

At work, Kaka participated in the [Bone Cow] and [Bone Lizard] projects.

Although both projects were ultimately abandoned due to poor practicality, they made him meet a like-minded friend named Bucky.

Buji is one of the earliest bone mages in the kingdom.

Unlike most bone mages who tend to refine their spells, he pays special attention to the basics.

“Without the cornerstone, there is no house.”

Buji always said: "We need more ghost beacons, more scholars, so that more people can accept and master knowledge, even the simplest knowledge. This must be done before the kingdom can complete its true meaning Otherwise, farmers will always be farmers and craftsmen will always be craftsmen. This rigid status quo, which is almost determined by birth, will prevent the kingdom from being full of vitality and creativity. "

"We need the foundation of mathematics, language, writing and rhetoric, mining, smelting, casting, astrology, navigation... Every kind of basic knowledge will intersect on the way forward."

Buji went to a seminary in the Yao world for three years to study. After returning, he became even more convinced of this view.

As an experienced engineer, Kaka recognized Buji.

Many employers feel that to make a mechanical pocket watch, the most important thing is to have the most important design drawing. As long as there are drawings, craftsmen can be found to restore them.

That's not the case at all.

Drawings are indeed important, and the more accurate the drawings, the more useful they are.

But the craftsmanship of hand-polished parts is also important. If the accuracy is less, the final result will be much worse.

Materials are also important. Taking copper as an example, the same parts made of brass, red copper, bronze and white copper will have huge differences in effect.

…

Each foundation is a stone brick, and only by stacking many stone bricks can a smooth and stable foundation be built.

Manufacturing is laying the foundation layer by layer, but to an outsider, it is just adding up and stacking plates one by one.

Buji once asked Kaka: "What kind of tools do you think we need to expand more skeleton creatures?"

"It must be something that conforms to the usage habits of the White Bone ancestors, is simple to operate, and has a lot of plasticity."

Kaka raised the bones in his hand: "I have always found it strange, why can't bones be used as core materials to make a series of tools?"

"Since bones can be combined to create skeleton dogs and bone horses, this is a material with strong innate possibilities. The Kingdom has rich experience in use and production, so why does it go the other way and want to use wood and metal? Replacement?”

"Compared to metal, bone is not very hard."

Buji shook his head, and the skull's upper and lower jaws opened and closed, making a sound without any fluctuations: "Compared with wood, it is not flexible enough. Bone is a common raw material, but it cannot bear too much weight... …And to make it active, the larger it is, the more difficult it is. As you can see, skeleton dogs are easy to make, but bone horses are much more difficult, and bone cows often fall and disintegrate naturally.”

"Then change the angle."

Kaka pinched a bone in his hand: "Bone is more flexible and lighter than metal, much harder than wood, and can be combined with each other, which naturally reduces a lot of processing steps. Isn't it?"

"...it makes sense."

“Why not try using bone as the core material and supplementing it with wood, stone and metal?”

"this……"

The more Kaka talked, the more feasible he felt. He waved the bones in his hand: "You don't have to pursue skeleton creatures. Even if you just use bones to weave a complete and malleable frame, you can fill it with all kinds of things." Something, right?”

"Bone is very light and can be used to create a variety of large-scale installations, such as vehicles, houses, boats, and even castles and fortresses."

Buji was stunned for a moment, and then his body began to tremble: "You guy... you are right! Why didn't we expect that we have very good natural materials ourselves!"

The two hit it off and began testing their guesses.

After a lot of experiments and records, they came to a surprising conclusion.

The hardness of bones is far greater than that of wood, and the hardest skull is almost the same as fine iron in terms of resistance to blows.

Bones of different species vary slightly in hardness and flexibility, and the bones of extraordinary beings are far superior to ordinary bones in both aspects.

Blood elements are injected into the bone horses and skeleton dogs to further enhance the hardness and flexibility of the bones. The blood elements will also make the bone structure have a certain activity.

…

When the [Mediator Army] officially entered the Twin Snakes Empire to mediate the war, Kaka and Buji sent a thick application form "On the Feasibility, Necessity and Decisive Impact of the "Bone Project" on the Kingdom's Future" to the king. On Raymond's desk.

The two of them, Kaka, were waiting anxiously.

One day, two days... They couldn't even settle down to read the newspaper.

Exactly eleven days later, they received a personal reply from the king.

"Read it. I have verified your conclusion. The Kingdom approves your plan and will provide you with all necessary resources."

Kaka and Buji were overjoyed.

They immediately began to form a research team, inviting not only goblin engineers and inventors, but also scholars from the Yao tribe to participate.

However, something big happened at this time.

The bone barnyard giants headed by the hero Siddal made their official debut, killing all parties on the battlefield of the Twin Snake Empire, inspiring countless bone ancestors and triggering a gene sequencing craze.

Since the genetic sequence allows a skeleton ancestor to possess giant-like strength, is the Bone Project really necessary?

The Bone Project is like a hard-built sandcastle on the beach. Faced with the flexible giant evolved from the genetic sequence, it is simply full of flaws and flaws.

Kaka and Buji were hit hard by the genetic sequence and fell into self-doubt.

Does the Bone Project still have meaning?
