I Made Scientific Magic
Chapter 521 Locking guests in cages is the custom of this world!
Naturally, Lynn's proposal was passed without any surprise, and the following proposals quickly shifted from war preparations to discussions on internal politics.
Today, more than four-fifths of the empire's territory is under their control.
If it weren't for following the orders of a certain magic star to attack a city and clean up a city, the speed would be faster.
However, the benefits of doing so were quickly reflected in the law and order. There were almost no large-scale rebellions in the imperial cities captured by them.
This is also due to the fact that Ella sacrificed countless bishops and devout believers in one breath during the Battle of the Holy City. In a sense, it also cleared the obstacles to their rule.
"Are our food reserves enough?" Lynn turned to the congressman in charge of food production and asked the most important question.
As long as there is enough food in hand, there won't be too much trouble in the city captured by the kingdom!
"The remaining food reserves can probably last for about three or four months." Councilor Tisha said with a headache. "If you want to build factories in those occupied imperial cities and implement the same food rationing system, there will be far from enough food."
The daily food consumption of the people of the kingdom is more than twice that of the poor people of the empire. After all, there is no sawdust or grass in the white bread.
Although they had long expected that there would be a food shortage after regaining the empire, they started to stockpile in advance, but the empire's 20 million population is 20 million mouths, which is not so easy to feed.
The food reserves they prepared were simply not enough, and even if all the elemental wizards in the council performed bread-making techniques, it would be difficult to fill such a gap, unless the council was willing to use the precious nuclear fuel reserves to make food.
"How could there be only so little? There shouldn't be such a shortage of food in the empire, right?" Vittorio couldn't help but frowned.
"That's true, but when those damned church remnants and nobles left the city, they burned all the food and equipment they couldn't take away, and some people even set fire to the city to stop our pursuit..." Councilor Tisha said helplessly.
"Have these bastards been caught? They must be severely punished, their bodies must be hung at the gate of the city, and their souls shall be imprisoned and tortured..." The irritable Arad immediately couldn't bear it anymore, and roared loudly.
He thought that the strategies of the previous council must have been too mild. If he knew that confronting them would result in a criminal law ten thousand times more terrifying than death, no one would dare to do such a bad thing.
"Not yet, but these people probably won't be able to escape for long." Councilman Tisha shook his head and said, and the food was burned, even if they were all captured, it would not be able to make up for the loss.
"It seems that pioneering is going to be stepped up..." Lynn pondered and asked someone to take a special large map, and directly circled an area of 200,000 square kilometers in the central plain area of the empire, around a big river.
The fertile land in this large area was originally the granary of the empire. Half of it was under the direct control of the imperial royal family, and the other half was the territory of a powerful grand duke. Of course, it is all owned by the parliament now.
Lynn intends to turn this area into a dedicated farming area, integrating all the finely divided cultivated land, and implementing magical planting and harvesting.
If done well, this area alone can solve the food problem of the entire empire!
"It's best to try to complete it before this year's autumn planting, so that after a few months, when this batch of wheat matures, the food problem will be completely solved!" Lin En said encouragingly.
"It's too big..." Councilor Tisha looked at the big circle drawn by Lynn, and felt his scalp tingle.
The area of the entire empire including the barren northern territory is less than 7 million square kilometers. Now it is impossible to transform 200,000 square kilometers at once, which is simply a fantasy!
Not to mention this year, in his opinion, it would be good to be able to catch up with next year's autumn planting, or even the next year's spring planting!
"It just looks big. As long as the planning is done well, it may not be impossible to start construction in multiple areas at the same time. You underestimate the power of machinery and magic." Lin En said with a smile.
They don't need to reclaim the land manually. A group of farmers holding hoes to reclaim the wasteland is already a thing of the past. The agricultural tillage machines of the Kingdom Alchemy Research Institute have been developed to the third generation.
Not to mention the suggestion that a large number of armored vehicles were produced before the meeting. Now that the war situation of the empire does not need these things to go to the battlefield, it is completely possible to refit all the idle vehicles and pull the entire army to open up wasteland. By the way, train troops there. Several unsightly hills in the plain were flattened!
"Send another 4,000 elemental wizards to help. After the wasteland is cleared, let them station there to protect this grain-producing land and regularly cast magic to increase the fertility of the land..." Lynn said again.
On this planet, wizards are the greatest productivity, especially when doing some delicate work, wizards with atomic-level manipulation capabilities are much easier to use than machines.
In this way, it should be possible to barely complete the reclamation before the autumn planting—even if only half of the goal can be completed in the end, the wheat produced will be enough to alleviate the problem of food shortage.
As for the last few months, we can only consider collecting some emergency food from the merchants first. Anyway, the establishment of workshops in various cities must not stop.
They must quickly promote reforms to let the people of the empire get rid of the inefficient and old production methods in the past, so that they can take advantage of the huge population.
However, Lynn thought very well, but was vetoed by Vittorio. "Four thousand wizards are too many, and other places need manpower. The council can only send 1,500 people there at most!"
Even though there are as many as 20,000 official wizards in the parliament now, the problem is that people are needed everywhere now!
First of all, the newly occupied cities in the empire need powerful wizards who are proficient in management to be stationed, and cooperate with the local affairs officers to stabilize the situation.
Secondly, many alchemy workshops require official wizards as senior workers in order to produce some precise parts.
Finally, there are many wizards in various schools who are engaged in magic research. It is impossible for them to force these people to put down their work and go to reclaim the land.
"Then replace it with 1,500 formal wizards and 3,500 apprentice wizards with a school age of more than ten years." Lin En had to settle for the next best thing. These apprentice wizards with rich spellcasting experience only need to get the magic net With the blessing of computing power, it can also be used as an official wizard.
"By the way, I remember that the church has a divine spell called Rain of Grace, which can make plants grow quickly. Why don't we copy it and improve it!" Lynn suddenly thought of this.
Although the clergy of the church have a limited level of education, they have developed a lot of interesting magic arts through hundreds of years of accumulation, and the rain of grace is one of them!
After half a day of discussion and improvement by members of the House of Representatives, the first half-year plan of the Magic Kingdom was officially released!
In the final analysis, it is eight words, stabilize internal affairs, prepare for war!
I just hope that the so-called lord of the dead can discover the gate of time and space later and give them more time to prepare.
Lynn thought that after going back, maybe he could ask the crow again to see if he could get some new information.
...
After today's meeting ended, Lynn returned to the manor in the capital without stopping, and then opened part of the cage, changing from a completely sealed cage wall with no gaps to neatly arranged pillars shaped frame structure.
However, at the moment when the shape of the cage changed, a stream of black light flew out of it, trying to get out of the gap in the frame that was less than one centimeter long and wide!
But why didn't Lynn guard against this? He built a force field magic on the outside of the cage. Compared with the cage on the bright side, this is the root of trapping the opponent.
The black crow tried several times in a row, but when it found that it couldn't escape at all, it was so angry that it kept jumping around in the cage, and all kinds of unpleasant shouts and curses resounded continuously.
"You stupid native, dare to offend the messenger of the great god of life and creation, your soul will be enslaved by the Lord of the Dead, and your world will be turned into lifeless death because of your stupid actions prison……"
Lin En didn't intend to refute, just leaning on the chair, the old god listened to the curse of the crow comfortably.
After being detained and tested with words, Lynn found that apart from verbal threats, the crow didn't seem to have anything to do with them.
Lynn thinks there may be three reasons.
First, this universe is not completely connected to the so-called main world, so even if the opponent is a god, he cannot kill and punish himself across the world.
The second is that the domain of gods connected to this universe is under the control of the Lord of the Necromancers. If the opponent wants to come over, he must pass through there and pass the Lord of the Necromancers. This may lead to an early battle of the gods!
Third, this crow is not as important as it says it is, it is just an ordinary messenger, and being offended a little bit is not enough to offend the god of life and creation.
Lin En's mind was full of thoughts, and he waited for more than an hour, until the angry crow had enough scolding, tired of cursing, and completely stopped, and the sharp crowing could no longer be heard in his ears. En just realized belatedly, and said with a smile.
"Actually, we have no malicious intentions, Great Messenger of the Stars. On the contrary, we are very grateful for the news you brought."
The black crow looked at the cage that locked him with a strange expression, and glared angrily at Lin En outside the cage.
Is that how you thank you?
Lynn shrugged and continued. "As ignorant natives, we know very little about the world of gods and lords you speak of, and we cannot confirm the authenticity of this news at the moment, so we invite the great star messenger to stay in the residence we specially made for you."
"In addition, this is not an offense or a prison, but a... well, a rather special custom!" Lin En looked at the cage he made and said very sincerely. "Yes, in fact, it is the custom of our world to put crows in cages!"
The black crow rolled its eyes in an extremely humane manner. It was obviously not that easy to fool, but it was really tired of scolding and didn't even want to talk.
Lin En smiled, skipped the topic directly, and asked instead. "Great Messenger of the Stars, you came to our world with a mission, right?"
The black crow held its head proudly, not bothering to reply to Lynn's words.
"I think this task should be related to dealing with the Lord of the Necrons. That is to say, our goals are actually the same, and we can cooperate completely." Lin En said solemnly. This is also the attitude of the council, which can cooperate but not accept single aspects of command.
"Cooperation?" The black crow said contemptuously as if he had heard the funniest thing in the world. "The power and greatness of God are beyond your comprehension!"
Only the existence of the same level can talk about the word cooperation.
Lynn didn't care about the black crow's belittling at all, but admitted it instead. "Please also forgive the limited vision of us natives. I want to know, can God completely destroy a world?"
The black crow paused, then quacked. "It's not uncommon for a plane to collapse in previous battles of gods."
Lin En was a little surprised. Capturing a world and destroying a world are two completely different concepts, and the evaluation of God in his heart can't help raising another level.
Neither they nor Ayla, who has gained the godhead, has the ability to completely destroy a planet.
I just don't know if this plane is the same as a planet, so it can't be a universe, right?
"How did you find our world?" Lynn pondered and asked the second question.
According to the words of this crow, the Lord of the Necromancers who controls the God Realm on the opposite side should not have found any time and space gates, otherwise they would have invaded long ago, but the God of Life and Creation was able to send an envoy to give them a warning first. .
This is why Lynn has always been suspicious of this star messenger.
"The God of life and creation is great, He is omniscient and omniscient!" The black crow said arrogantly.
omniscient? Know everything?
Lynn has deep doubts about these words, because the Lord of the Dead, who is also a god, obviously does not have such abilities.
If the gap between the two gods is very large and there are not small contradictions, then the Lord of the Dead will most likely cease to exist long ago, unless it is a special ability similar to prophecy.
Lin En was thinking about it when there was a light knock on the door.
"Sir, Ms. Ivana said that she has something important to ask to see you. She also brought a prisoner, probably a knight of God's Punishment Army."
Lynn glanced at the crow in the cage, and after thinking for a while, he didn't mean to imprison him again, and said directly. "Let her in."
