Magic Industrial Age

To this day, Loye has not been able to grasp the full picture of the contract signed between Earl Karl Raymond and the Habsburg Empire.

After all, the space within the Saint Artifact, the Ring of Proverbs, is limited. Loye searched for a long time but couldn't find the original contract.

And the information provided by the Empire was obviously reserved, with many contents deleted.

Loye guessed that there should be some more secret alliances between them.

However, if they didn't mention it, Loye would pretend not to know and didn't want to know!

What does the alliance of the previous Lion King have to do with me?

What Loye wants now is to adjust the content of the contract according to his own plan.

Lord Robin Water was originally a little worried, fearing that Loye would make excessive demands!

As the Imperial Ambassador, he is the full representative of the Habsburg Empire, but his power is limited.

Fortunately, after reaching a consensus and discussing the specific content, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Because Loye's request was not to have the Empire increase its investment, but to make various adjustments to the original plan.

For example, the magic textile factory!

In the original plan, this occupied a large share. Of the twenty sets of small magic pools, ten sets were to be used to build textile factories.

According to Lord Hick Cruz, the reason they arranged it this way was largely because textile machinery was the most mature of all magic machinery.

In addition, with the Flower Territory's ample supply of raw materials, various textiles could be produced in large quantities.

And clothing, food, housing, and transportation, clothing is essential. After spreading the costs, it would be absolutely cheap and good.

No matter where it was transported, it could be sold quickly and exchanged for gold coins.

In fact, this was not just a plan, but it was already being implemented.

Currently, there are already two built magic textile factories, exporting products.

Textiles are sold far and wide around the Flower Territory, even including the Bonaparte Empire.

However, Loye directly cut off all the subsequent ones.

Leaving two textile factories, he also plans to produce textiles that can guarantee internal consumption, selling at a fair price is enough.

As for the spare magic pools, he moved them all to the mines.

The Raymond family currently has one large iron mine, two small iron mines, two copper mines, and three small gem mines.

But these are only currently developed, not already discovered.

After all, the previous Raymond family had limited annual demand for copper and iron, and they couldn't use up more if they mined it.

But in fact, after thousands of years of operation, the Raymond family has sent many people to search within the Dome Mountains, and various mineral veins have been discovered.

There is a map in the Saint Artifact, the Ring of Proverbs, which marks as many as twenty various mineral veins.

The first added was the rare Wilderness Stone mine.

However, limited by the mining environment and demand, they were all hidden.

Now, Loye is preparing to use all that can be mined, and also install magic pools and mining equipment to ensure mining efficiency.

In addition, the most is the railway!

Previously, according to Earl Karl Raymond's plan, the entire Flower Territory had only three railways running vertically and horizontally.

With Brussels as the core, one to the south, and one each extending east and west.

Of course, the railway cannot be a straight line, but curves to connect several large towns in the entire Flower Territory.

Similarly, with the help of the railway, Earl Raymond can also complete the transfer of the Lion Knight Order in the shortest time.

However, Loye felt it was too petty.

Most importantly, if Brussels is the core, if the Flower Territory really develops, then this city will bear great pressure of population transfer.

When the time comes, excessive concentration of personnel is not a good thing.

So, Loye made a big stroke and directly circled several important strongholds in the Flower Territory.

Then, with this as the core, he built three horizontal and three vertical double-track railway lines.

In addition, he also wanted to build railways between the various mining areas, so that production and transportation would be much simpler.

Of course, he thought it was good, but Imperial Ambassador Robin Water looked worse and worse.

The construction of railways is not the same as the construction of factories. In terms of trouble, material consumption and time, it is the most difficult.

If this is changed, the price that the Empire needs to pay is too exaggerated.

However, Loye is still reasonable.

He just finalized the plan and signed a memorandum with the Empire. The actual construction is still based on the previous plan.

Subsequent ones, when it really develops, the Flower Territory will naturally not be stingy with investment.

Seeing that Loye was so easy to talk to, Lord Robin Water breathed a sigh of relief.

Unfortunately, he breathed a sigh of relief too early, because Loye immediately requested the addition of two armories.

Mainly to produce some low-end models of magic firearms and magic cannons.

The Habsburg Empire promised to transfer some technology and help set up an armory.

The specific location is set in the Siren Port, next to Ms. Palacios's mage tower.

There is no way, the entire Flower Territory is flooded with knights, and mages are scarce. Ms. Palacios is the only Catastrophe-level mage who can be taken out.

With her there, they can receive those manufacturing technologies, and even this is very reluctant.

However, Loye believes that since the Empire is willing to help build an armory and transfer some technology.

Then they wouldn't mind helping to build two more.

Of course, this is his idea. The Imperial Ambassador obviously doesn't think so, and the two sides have great differences on this.

In the end, they can only put aside the contradictions and have Lord Robin Water report to the Empire and listen to the Empire's orders before making a decision.

In addition, naturally, it is Loye's old business, magic machinery factory and steel plant.

He directly moved two medium-sized magic pools and placed them outside Brussels, letting him provide the drawings and let the Empire help build two large factories.

Of course, the magic machinery factory is not a big problem, but the steel plant is still limited by raw materials.

So, around the mining area, Loye chose another suitable area and gave priority to building the most advanced Douglas magic steel furnace.

Even so, Loye is not satisfied. He has reserved two magic pools for the future steel plant.

He knows better than anyone else that when magic machinery develops, the demand for steel is really not ordinary exaggerated!

So, when the time comes, no matter how much iron ore is mined, it can be digested.

Even if the steel plant is built bigger, steel will not be enough for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that Loye also arranged a magic pool in the Lion Manor.

On the one hand, it can provide energy for the long-range communication magic circle, and at the same time, it can meet the energy consumption needs of the manor.

On the other hand, he wants to build a mage tower in the manor for Lilia Lightninger.

For a mage, how important it is to have a mage tower of their own is beyond doubt.

With a mage tower, every magician can explode combat power far beyond the current rank. It is not impossible for a third-order transcendent to challenge a fourth-order catastrophe.

Moreover, every magician has to have their own mage tower to move towards a higher realm when they grow to a certain point.

Although it is not necessary, it is normal for the mage's cultivation speed to be one or two times faster with it.

Furthermore, the growth of every high-level mage cannot be separated from experiments, and the mage tower is the best experimental site.

These are all benefits, every mage knows, but why don't they build their own mage towers?

That is of course because they have no money!

Mage towers are very expensive, and it costs at least 100,000 gold Tinders to bear it personally.

Don't think that Loye can easily take out this money, it seems not exaggerated.

But in fact, for mages like Douglas Hill and Mrs. Linda, before they met Loye, even a thousand gold Tinders could make them look sideways.

Besides, the two mage towers of Philant Magic Academy do not belong to the two third-order mages, but to the Habsburg Empire!

They only have the right to use it.

At the beginning, Loye offered a reward of 10,000 gold Tinders to buy Arcadia Crystal, which even attracted the fourth-order Catastrophe powerhouse to take action personally, fearing that the speed would be slow.

This is the real price!

This is the real purchasing power of Gold Tinder!

So, Loye is going to build a mage tower for Lilia, this mechanical mage who has just entered the second order.

Not to mention others, even Lilia herself feels incredible.

However, Loye made the decision, and this matter was decided.

Of course, this is not in the original agreement of the Habsburg Empire, so Loye has to pay extra money.

Loye doesn't care about money, he only requires that the construction standard is the mage tower template that the Empire has explored and is most suitable for mechanical mages.

Lord Robin Water agreed to this matter, after all, there is profit to be made by paying extra money, and he has no reason not to agree.

Even, when he returns to the Empire and says the news, there are many magicians who are vying to take this job, and he can also earn a fee.

Finally, Loye also adjusted the construction order.

For example, the railway can be slowed down a bit, not in a hurry, but the mining equipment for those mines must be arranged first.

For example, the mage tower can come slowly, but the magic machinery factory and steel plant outside Brussels must be started first.

Loye and Lord Robin Water discussed for three full days to modify these treaties.

Some have been set and can continue to be implemented.

Some need to be reported to the Empire and wait for the approval of the big guys above.

The specific process is still very complicated, but Loye paid the second payment as the price, allowing the Empire's professional personnel to move first.

It was not until this time that Loye learned that the total expenditure of 500,000 gold Tinders was not paid off at once.

Instead, a down payment of 200,000 gold Tinders is paid first, and the remaining amount is paid after each construction is completed and accepted.

Each payment is 100,000 gold Tinders, which is paid from the Raymond family's public account.

In other words, Loye has to pay a total of 300,000 gold Tinders depending on the construction situation.

He has now paid another 100,000 to let the mining area and the industrial area outside Brussels move first.

You have to admit that the one who gives the money is the master. Even the Imperial Ambassador immediately patted his chest to guarantee after receiving the money.

The Empire's technical personnel are the best, and the Empire's workers are also the most diligent.

Move, must move immediately!

The first update is sent first, and the second update will be revised later!
