I Became a Progenitor Vampire

"New plan?" Harrison looked at Li De with some expectancy. His Majesty's mind contained wisdom that would make even the gods feel burning.

"Yes, I call it the Neverwinter Project."

Li De smiled slightly, "The cold in winter is unbearable for everyone, but now most areas of Dawn City and even our factories do not have heating equipment.

The winter is so long, without heating, it will inevitably lead to a decrease in work efficiency or even a long shutdown, which is a very big loss to the City of Dawn as a whole.

Therefore, we need to heat all factories and public places to provide a comfortable working environment for everyone. "

"But, Your Majesty, in such a vast area, we cannot afford the cost of manufacturing the magic array, as well as the consumption of running it."

Li De shook his head, "No, Harrison, we don't need to use the current magic circle, but adopt a new method."

"New method?"

Harrison was a little confused. Is there any more effective way to heat than a magic circle?

"Yes", Li De nodded affirmatively, with a hint of meaning in his eyes.

“First make a heating channel like tap water, then heat the water at one end of the water inlet, and then let the hot water pass through the pipe, so that there is sufficient heat where the pipe passes.

This is heating at its simplest. "

"Tap water? But... Patriarch, the tap water must be placed at a high place... Do we want to burn the boiler on the mountain?"

"No, we can replace hot water with water vapor. Under high pressure, the temperature of water vapor can reach a high temperature of two to three hundred degrees, which can provide enough heat..."

"But how do we get this water vapor into the pipe?"

Harrison was not good at these things, and he was a little confused when he heard it. What about steam heating, it sounded so difficult to understand.

Li De smiled slightly, "You don't need to study it, you just need to supervise the process.

Delegate the task to the Magic Industry Research Institute and tell them the heating idea. Believe me, our Magic Industry Research Institute is smarter than you think. "

After a long period of running-in, the Magic Industrial Research Institute has slowly unleashed the potential of several racial fusions.

Heating is not something too difficult. You can figure it out with a little research. He just provides an idea.

Moreover, heating needs to be improved and optimized by this magic, which he is not familiar with.

After speaking, he looked at Harrison and said meaningfully, "Besides, haven't we trained hundreds of life mages?

You can ask the mage tower to research a magic circle that allows the mage to input magic power to maintain heating.

In the future, heating can not only exercise the wizard's ability, but also save us a lot of costs. "

The magical world must use the magical world's methods to solve problems.

This saucy move shocked Harrison. How could it be like this? Directly using people for heating? ?

Is it too naughty for a spell caster to heat civilians?

There is no doubt about the importance of heating. The City of Dawn is almost in a dormant state throughout the winter, and even the entire glory is in this state. It is basically difficult to carry out work in the heavy snow and cold air.

For three months, everyone is idle, and all this idle labor is a loss. If heating allows everyone to work in winter, how much benefit will it bring in these three months?

So making some initial investment is totally worth it.

This is just like building roads. It seems that building roads will not make any direct contribution to economic and social development, but after building roads, it can save time and greatly improve efficiency.

The reason why China has developed so fast is inseparable from its extremely convenient infrastructure. The invisible benefits are invisible, but they profoundly affect everyone.

After talking about heating, Li De suddenly remembered another project that was very suitable for winter-greenhouse vegetables.

After Dawn City entered winter, there was almost no fresh vegetables to eat in Dawn City, and they all relied on bread.

If a city wants to develop well, infrastructure is often the key, and ensuring residents' basic food supply is the most basic of basics.

Now that the City of Dawn has escaped from famine, it will naturally develop in a better direction.

"Harrison, in addition to heating, there is also something called greenhouse vegetables..."

"Greenhouse vegetables?" Harrison was a little confused when he heard this weird name.

There was a smile in Li De's eyes, "This is a production method that allows you to eat vegetables that grow in spring in winter."

Hiss~

Harrison gasped, can you eat vegetables that grow in spring in winter? ?

"Your Majesty, are you sure you are not joking??"

This violates the laws of glory and even touches the priesthood of the gods.

"of course not."

Harrison was a little confused. In the ice and snow, only gods have the power to make plants grow out of the ice and snow.

Has your Majesty really become a god?

"Your Majesty, have you robbed the priesthood of the Goddess of Recovery? Otherwise, how could you plant plants in winter that can only grow in spring??!"

Li De shook his head dumbfounded, what was this guy thinking.

Although the goddess of resuscitation is only weak in divine power, she is still a real god. It is still early to kill the god.

"Don't overcomplicate things, Harrison."

“I don’t believe you didn’t grab the priesthood, otherwise why could you grow plants in winter that can only grow in spring?

This is incredible! ! This is the realm of gods! "

Looking at Harrison's eyes full of incomprehensibility, Li De still felt a little strange. This was purely information crushing.

Things that are common on earth are considered miracles here. It feels really amazing.

"Harrison, greenhouse cultivation is a kind of alchemy and has nothing to do with gods."

"Alchemy?" Harrison was stunned and then his eyes showed a bit of surprise, "Is it the legendary alchemy like tap water?"

Although the principle of running water is simple, it has already become a legendary alchemy among the residents, and it is a magical creation awarded to them by the great Cachar.

Although Harrison also knew the principles of tap water, he was obviously more shocked that spring plants could be grown in winter.

Li De didn't bother to argue, so he briefly described the basic principles of greenhouse vegetables in a few words.

Harrison immediately expressed joy after hearing this. As the speaker of the city hall, he is naturally very clear about the impact of these construction projects on people's livelihood.

The more prosperous the City of Dawn is, the more stable the rule of the Vampire Clan will be. This is a virtuous cycle.

Moreover, under the majesty of the goddess of ice and snow, species that do not belong to this season can be planted. This alchemy has touched the realm of gods.

It's really shocking.

"Your Majesty, your wisdom is the most valuable asset of Dawn City. I think all residents will be proud to be your people."

Harrison's tone was full of admiration.

His master, the great ancestor of the Holy Light Blood Clan, was a being who could plant spring plants in winter. Although the greenhouse was not there yet, it did not prevent Harrison from expressing his admiration for Li De.

“I only know the general principles of these things, and the Magic Industry Research Institute needs to conduct in-depth research.

I hope to see results before this winter month is over. "

Li De felt helpless as he watched Harrison become increasingly enthusiastic.

These are just greenhouse vegetables... What does it have to do with the gods? Can you talk about some science? Can you please stop talking about magic like this?

"Yes, Your Majesty, you have pointed out the direction for us, and we will carry out the rest."

Harrison was still in a state of excitement, as if he had determined that this alchemy was unspeakably great.

From Li De's point of view, it is normal to grow vegetables in winter, but from the perspective of Aboriginal people like Harrison, who are bound by Rongguang's traditional knowledge, this is completely unimaginable.

Each season is governed by a corresponding god, and it belongs to the domain of the gods. Now these greenhouse vegetables have come into contact with the majesty of the gods. Even saying so in front of the Ice and Snow Temple will be punished with blasphemy.

Everything has laws, how can we violate them?

But naturally no one in the City of Dawn would dare to say anything to Li De. After explaining the matter, Li De continued.

"The halflings from Black Iron Castle will arrive in mid-December. How is the institute's site prepared?"

The cooperation with Black Iron Castle was not something he decided on the spur of the moment, but was the result of careful consideration.

Li De knew very well that Dawn City now needed to absorb more excellent things to grow.

And halflings are obviously a good option.

During the few days in Black Iron Castle, Li De also gained a better understanding of halfling bows and arrows. The bows and arrows produced by these natural archers are absolutely exquisite.

If the bows and arrows produced by the City of Dawn have a score of 60, then the halfling's bows and arrows have a score of 80, which is two levels higher than them.

Even when using the same material, the bows and arrows produced by the halflings are better than those produced by the City of Dawn.

This made Li De quite envious.

Whether it is an aerial repeating crossbow or a ground siege repeating crossbow, bow and arrow manufacturing technology is required, and the halflings can obviously make up for the lack of technology in the City of Dawn.

That's why he would definitely ask the other party to form a joint research institute with him to develop the modification of crossbows.

The purpose is to learn each other's skills and make up for shortcomings.

Although the army already has alchemy bombs on the offensive end, the role of crossbows in battle has not been reduced at all.

Whether it is fighting in the air or defending the city on the ground, powerful crossbows are the best weapons.

After the battle with the cave spider, Li De had a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of Dawn City in all aspects, so he has been making various adjustments.

"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. We have selected professionals who are proficient and familiar with making bows and arrows from the Magic Industrial Research Institute. We will learn not only the bow and arrow manufacturing technology, but even the way they train archers, absolutely. To your satisfaction.”

Li De nodded slightly, he had always had full confidence in Harrison.

"How did you arrange the matter of sending the mage to Black Iron Castle?"

Harrison smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this is a rare opportunity."

"Oh?" Li De became interested, "How do you say it?"

“The Dawn Sect has always only preached within our city and never outside.

And to help Black Iron City cultivate mages, you can send some priests to spread the Dawn Sect and promote your glory.

There are many benefits to spreading the sect to the outside world, and believers need not mention it. For example, they can more clearly perceive the shortcomings of the Dawn Sect itself, improve transactions in practice, and improve the way of preaching...

I believe that with our propaganda, the glory of dawn is about to shine upon the underworld. "

Li De nodded with satisfaction, which is why he specifically fought for the right to preach in the terms of the agreement with Black Iron Castle.

As time went by, he became more and more aware of how important the power of faith was, something that even the gods were frantically snatching away.

Especially after the ancient alchemy magic circle is successfully constructed, his priesthood can be integrated with the magic circle, and after the feature of transforming other races into vampires appears,

The importance of the power of faith has been elevated to a new level.

After the ancient alchemy magic circle of the magic crystal veins is successfully constructed, he will inevitably transform other races into vampires.

For example - blood two-headed ogre, blood giant, blood elf, blood dwarf, blood horse...etc.

Even if the giant dragon is captured in the future, it will be transformed into a blood dragon. Gee, that scene is very spectacular when you think about it.

Moreover, Li De is also curious about how much improvement other races will receive after being converted into vampires. Can they be transferred to the profession of vampires?

Of course, all these prerequisites need to be supported by the power of faith. Without the power of faith, it is just an illusion.

But the biggest problem for Li De at present is that the number of believers in Dawn City is almost fixed. There are only as many believers as there are people, and it is completely impossible to have explosive growth.

So he turned his attention to the underground world. Once faith is spread in the underground world, it will be different, and it is likely to bring a large number of believers.

Thinking of millions of believers in the underground world believing in him, Li De felt happy. When the time came, he would directly transform those two thousand giants into vampires, and transform tens of thousands of orcs into blood orcs. Their attributes would be absolutely powerful.

"On the issue of missionary work, the City Hall must cooperate well with the Dawn Sect. This is a great attempt. If it succeeds, we will gain huge benefits.

You can even try to export the Dawn Sect to the human world. This will be a milestone starting point. "

Li De's gaze was never limited to just one corner.

It's just that he didn't have the opportunity before, and the time wasn't ripe. After meeting his inner requirements, he wouldn't mind directly preaching to humans.

Of course, the premise of all this is to ensure the safety of Dawn City.

Next, the two discussed some details about missionary work and cooperation with Black Iron City. Finally, Harrison hesitated.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing you need to decide...about the God-given Holy Clothes..."

"explain."

"The God-given Holy Clothing has been officially mass-produced. Currently, the first batch of vampires have been equipped with this equipment that can isolate the holy power, but...it is expensive to make."

Li De's eyes immediately lit up when he heard this.

The development of the vampire race has been restricted by two major shackles - the fear of holy power and dependence on human blood.

The shackles of having to drink human blood have been lifted because of sustainable development strategies and the remains of gods.

Fear of the sun, fear of the holy light, this is the vampire's biggest enemy now, and the god-given holy armor is the sharp blade to kill this enemy.

The God-given Holy Clothes have been researched for nearly two years. It was said before that it was almost ready, but nothing happened.

If this chain is cut off at this time, the Vampire Clan can really be said to have unlimited potential and a promising future.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can solve the vampire's shortcomings, it's worth paying no matter how high the price is."

Li De was excited, "Go and get one."

Harrison immediately ordered the guards to get it, but there was still hesitation on his face.

"Your Majesty, would you like to listen to the cost before making a decision..."

Hearing Harrison repeat it again, Li De suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

"you say."

Harrison paused for a moment, then whispered a number that made Li De's scalp tingle.

"Each divine holy outfit consumes 1 pound of mithril, and a large amount of other magic materials need to be purchased from the human kingdom. The approximate cost is 5,000 gold pukes.

And if you want to create a God-given holy outfit with better effects, then the cost will increase exponentially. "

5,000 gold pukes, does this consume an additional pound of mithril? ?

At this moment, Li De felt like he was having sex with a husky. Why is this crap so expensive? ?

“How much gold puke can Daybreak City earn every month now??”

"Your Majesty, including all kinds of trade, there are about 400,000 gold pukes. This does not include income from mithril and magic crystal veins."

Mithril and magic crystal veins are for my own use and cannot be sold, so naturally these parts do not need to be counted as gold puke, just treat them as special materials.

"400,000 gold pukes?"

Li De was silent for a moment. This data is definitely not small.

According to the purchasing power of "Glory", one Jinpuke is equivalent to approximately 10,000 RMB.

Of course, if it is redeemed to the earth, the premium is very high now because the game has just launched, and can reach 20,000 RMB.

This is equivalent to his current income in Glory being 4 billion per month.

But this data is not too gorgeous. After all, he supports a city of 100,000 people and countless armies waiting to be fed.

Urban construction requires expenditures, employees in various departments require expenditures, and various important scientific research units require expenditures, such as Dawn Master Tower, Dawn School, Alchemy Factory, etc., which all consume a large amount of funds.

These are okay, the most important thing is-the consumption of the army.

The army of Daybreak City now consumes almost half of the fiscal revenue. The forging of various weapons and equipment, the production of engineering equipment, and even logistical supply support require the outflow of large amounts of gold.

Therefore, although Li De is now a rich man, when he supports a city, the landlord's family often has no surplus food.

At this time, the God-given Holy Clothes were so expensive that he felt that he could not afford them.

"Unexpectedly, after farming for so long, I finally succeeded in becoming a poor person, earning 4 billion yuan every month..."

Taking a deep breath, "Why is the cost so expensive? Wasn't hundreds or even thousands of gold pukes enough before?"

Harrison showed a bit of a wry smile, "Your Majesty, the God-given Holy Clothes made before were very rough. This is the result of repeated efforts to reduce the cost..."

“How many Kimpuke are still on the books now?”

"870,000 pieces..."

870,000? Li De breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was some surplus food at home.

But if we put all the money into it, we can only produce more than a hundred pairs of God-given holy clothes. This is too exaggerated.

"Wait a minute, I'll take a look at the current properties of the God-given Holy Clothes before deciding how many to produce..."

Harrison also knew that the cost had skyrocketed, so he remained silent and didn't say much.

But he firmly believed that Li De would change his mind after seeing the properties of the divine holy clothing.

ten minutes later.

The dean of Daybreak College, the elder of the Riesl family, the Great Erudite Horn, walked into the office with excitement on his face.

He was holding a mage robe in his hand that made Li De's eyes light up.
