Out of the cage

While traveling along the river, Tomorrow led the river fleet along the Mingda River to the lake area downstream. This time, Sirolina came again to take advantage of this mission.

Her purpose of coming was actually stated in the previous magic communication. She hoped that Eryuan would take territorial soldiers to participate in the battle against Naga. However, Eryuan was only willing to let Tomorrow Ling support the Botao family in exporting grain and other strategic materials.

Eryuan whispered: "How can I get a better deal when I'm on someone else's territory? Friendship? Can friendship guarantee my safety in the Wave Territory? Wow, how many examples of "brothers at one moment, coercion at the next moment" are there in Chinese history? Oh, Zhu Di and His Highness Prince Ning are good brothers worthy of the "Three Beautiful Guards"."

At this moment, in the port built by Tomorrow Leader in the south, with the flickering of the teleportation array, the female mage from the Duke of Waves family appeared. This blue magic robe, white trousers, and a staff as tall as a person, Er Yuan has every reason to believe that this trend has been radiated from his main world for a long time.

The female mage from the Duke of Waves family originally wanted to get closer after seeing Eryuan. But after Jieli appeared naturally and paired up with Eryuan, she stopped awkwardly, and the two sides seemed to be separated by a force field.

Sirolina could only sit in the guest seat and ask in a business-like manner: "Can we send more combat teams again?"

Eyuan lowered his head and thought for a moment. If the land strategy and the maritime strategy were spread out at the same time, the spread would be a bit big. Moreover, he has fulfilled his obligations to the Duke of Waves in recent years. The troops sent (fifty) fully met the obligations of the small lord.

A big lord gives an order to a small lord. If he goes, he will be recognized by the aristocratic system. If he doesn't go, he will lose the legal system.

For example, there are various bandits in the kingdom area. Their predecessors may be some knight families who failed to fulfill their obligations. As a result, they lost their "fief" in the core area and became bandits.

However, the power of the big lord to recruit the small lords is not unlimited, that is, after sending enough troops, they cannot continue to recruit.

Although the Tomorrow Territory currently has sufficient military strength and is gradually modernizing internally, it still must abide by the old system obligations regarding the diplomatic framework because the external world has not changed.

Narrator: Just like in the early 21st century, in an international environment surrounded by socialist countries and commercial and private countries, one cannot openly and silently call comrades to the outside world. You have to follow international practice and say "friend". ——The environment does not allow calling the opposite comrade.

At this time, if the Tomorrow Leader does not adhere to the kingdom's conventions, the caravan will be faced with difficulties when walking on the territory of other lords.

Right now, the Tomorrow Territory is undergoing an industrial revolution and is in urgent need of population, but the current population recruitment requires the cooperation of the lords in each region. If there are one hundred or two hundred people, supply points must be arranged in advance. Instead of sitting on the territory and waiting for the civilians to drag their families over.

It is worth mentioning that those who can travel hundreds of kilometers these days are not civilians, but slave traders.

Tomorrow's business expansion means that certain supplies must be stored in other noble territories. If the default rules are not followed, the nobles will swallow these materials without caring about their appearance.

Eryuan always remembers: When the lords of various countries in the Middle Ages devoured Jewish assets, why did they only devour the Jews and not the Templars who also opened banks?

The Templars are not just those who wear helmets when fishing and swords when opening banks. They also support churches, instead of just running their own small circles and playing religious education like Juta.

At this moment, Eyuan was relieved when faced with Sirolina who came in person, and was willing to provide support such as "magic vehicles" and "enchanted arrows".

...Eryuan's eating looks are too polite and too slow...

Xia Sheng's analysis department didn't know Eryuan's thoughts before, but after conducting a local investigation.

Meshenyao, the person in charge of the Humanoid Gundam project, lobbied the business department of Tomorrowland and will provide a large number of steam engines for free.

And according to the needs of Eryuan's opening of the Magic Mechanical Academy, a very generous supply of nickel-titanium-based rare earth alloys with special nanostructures was provided.

Meshenyao: After physical calculations, this alloy is the most suitable for metallic phase transformation and can create fully metal armored soldiers.

Eryuan was stunned by the anxious attitude of these Xia Sheng plane travelers at first, but then he smiled.

Eryuan: Yes, in the eyes of outsiders, I am not ambitious enough and settle for nothing. After all, if he doesn't steal the princess, he will be satisfied just holding Jie Li, and if he doesn't gather wealth, he keeps everything simple in all business activities, and does not show strong desire, which makes people feel that there is no "driving force".

The obvious driving forces that can be seen in history are all driven by "desire". ——So the forces that have accumulated original capital from time-travel activities all like: "Obsession."

For example, the leaders of the inner universe in the main world in Eryuan still adopt stimulating strategies every time they enter a period of development. ——Historically, "obsession" has been used to stimulate. For example, in the 21st century economic stimulus, real estate developers have seized on everyone's obsession with "starting a family", and travel companies have seized on everyone's obsession with "going out and seeing things". , cosmetics sales capture girls’ obsession with wanting to be “pretty.”

As everyone knows, desire advances because of seeing dividends.

A large amount of time in history was a period without "dividends", and this period of history needs someone to shoulder the responsibility.

…back to the present moment, a cup of plain water, a cup of black tea with sugar…

In the Magic Energy Factory, a tractor powered by a Taiwanese water element turbine was being tested in a distant field. On the industrial platform, Eryuan faced Sirolina: "You need more assistance, but in what name?"

Sirolina paused, she couldn't come up with a plan - if Eryuan was a traditional aristocrat, she could do it. Female aristocrats can have several lovers when needed. However, Master Wei is a serious person.

In order not to let his son suffer a disadvantage, Eryuan emphasized that his work habits rely on the model framework, and he would not inexplicably work under a model that has no status and no long-term results.

In short, "If you don't give me a clear guarantee, I will lie down."

At present, the royal feudal system is no longer suitable for the military and economic mobilization of small lords.

When Sirolina opened her mouth to say something, Eryuan interrupted in advance: "Don't mention the friendship between you and me at this time. It's not that I don't remember, but I don't want to waste the friendship between you and me on the meter. . I will show the value of this friendship at critical moments, and I don’t want to make such a cheap deal now.”

Sirolina's eyes were filled with sadness. She wanted to marry Eyuan. In the past, before Eyuan became a success, there was a gap in their identities. A mage with a background of raising pigs could not possibly marry the heir to the duke. But now the identities of both parties are suitable. Wait, Eyuan is already holding Jie Li in his arms.

As for "Three Wives and Four Concubines", Mr. Wei's eyes would wander around before he was married, but after marriage, he became extra steady.

A few days ago, Mr. Wei just taught Binghe, who was alone outside, on the phone: "You must be dedicated in love. Marry the one you like, but you must not play around with people who help you when you are serious about doing things. Otherwise, you will fall into trouble." ." As for Binghe, he nodded and promised on the phone.

When Eryuan saw Sirolina who was about to cry, he sighed and whispered in his heart: "It's not that I haven't thought about it, but I just imagined it." (Just like species in the biological world are adapting to each other and evolving in different dimensions, , Keng is also evolving in reverse,)

...The political dialogue between the two parties involves the entire country, and we cannot joke about this matter.

Eryuan said about the Wave Leader represented by Sirolina: "Set the rules first and then do things. In this way, public affairs are public and private affairs are private."

Sirolina can't figure out how to give back to Tomorrow Leader.

In the end, Eryuan thought of an investment model and reached out to her: "We will sign an arcane exchange agreement under the framework of the Human Alliance." In this arcane exchange agreement, Eryuan, as a mage, opened a junior school in the Wave Territory. , and the school recruits civilians, civilian mages in the Wave Territory can advance to the intermediate and advanced magic research academy, and these intermediate and advanced students will be received tomorrow. ——This is equivalent to establishing reserve talents for tomorrow’s industrialization.

With the investment framework of this school model, Eryuan expressed its willingness to provide a team of hundreds of mage teachers. Of course, the mages sent at this stall will be a new combat force for the Wave Leader. After the war, you can also assist the Wave Leader in training new young mage troops.

The subsequent communication between the Tomorrow Territory and other territories can also follow this agreed-upon model to establish long-term communication channels. At that time, even if other lords want to suddenly cut off the channel, they will have to face the opposition of their own internal stakeholders first.

Sirolina nodded. She only saw that Eryuan finally agreed to the agreement. Her mood suddenly turned from gloomy to sunny, and she didn't think too much.

Tomorrow the general will supply twenty vehicles, and Sirolina estimates that Eryuan's combat troops will be about four hundred people - more than half of them are mages.

Sirolina: "Mr. Master Eyuan, your help to the Wave Territory will gain the friendship of my family."

She began to draw a large teleportation array. Eryuan's vehicles would be teleported to the fortress in the south first, and the personnel would follow.

After Sirolina left, Jieli stepped forward and said somewhat angrily: "Are you going to go to her in the end?"

Eryuan said helplessly: "We can't see her finally down and out, and then her friendship turns to resentment."

Jieli had a different meaning: "She has more than just complaints against you."

Eryuan faced Ruo Suoyuan's words and coaxed: "In her eyes, family is the most important, so I only eliminate the cause and effect of the family."

Then Eryuan faced Jieli and said affectionately: "In your eyes, I am the most important (Jieli puts the family in the back), so we are connected by our roots."

Jieli felt extremely happy being held by Eryuan, and asked in her ear: "I want to watch it again and again now."

…the sound of rain, the lapping of waves, and like the fluttering of a bird’s wings, “puff”…

Dozens of hours later, sea water washed over the rocky pier. Under the leadership of Mage Bo Tao, Eryuan's troops arrived through the teleportation array.

The heir to the Wave Territory, Sirolina's younger brother Kemont, faced Eyuan's troops with some curiosity - the sailors who maintained order near the port where ships docked. These sailors were all breastplate musketeers. Its lightweight breastplate is made of wire and plastic (glass fiber reinforced plastic).

Since there are too many phases of matter in this world, similar to the quantum storage of multidimensional planes, once the kinetic energy reaches a certain level, phase conversion will occur. For example, when a bullet is pulled out of the barrel, contact with the air will cause the energy to be converted into a high phase state. The state of compressed air causes the gun's speed to always be only 300m/s (under the sound barrier).

Of course, even if this is the case, the effective range of the musket can reach one hundred and fifty meters. The bayonet is also very sharp, and he wears a helmet and binoculars, and is equipped with a wooden-handled grenade. There is no explosive in the grenade, but the rune of "wind blast", which can instantly compress eight cubic meters of surrounding air to the center of the grenade. This The air wave release can propel the grenade farther and scatter fragments.

In terms of heavy firepower, it is also equipped with five 60mm caliber mortars. The barrels and shells have more complex wind and fire elements, um, or a mixture of wind and ice elements. But from the appearance, this is a Victorian-style combat unit.

Kermont: "Your troops are equipped much like dwarves."

Eryuan smiled and said to the young man: "They were all academic mages before. The appearance you see was shaped by three months of military training. They are capable of long-range shooting and maintaining formations. But their main job It is to maintain the battlefield and cast spells.”

The son of a lord was stunned. In his habitual understanding, a mage should wear a robe and hold a staff, but he suddenly thought that Eryuan started out as an unconventional mage, using a knight-errant attitude to release spells on the battlefield.

At this time, there were two military observers from the Taiyi dimension in the military team in Eryuan. They also wore the same equipment and followed quietly.

...The Wave Territory just wants reinforcements now, but the Tomorrow Territory now wants names. …

Eryuan did not go to see the Wave Lord, but directly met with the Wave Lord mages to discuss some basic work.

Because the current support here is in the name of establishing a mage school, not in the name of meeting between nobles and nobles.

Eyuan: When it is time to meet with the noble lord afterwards, we will naturally meet, but not now. The first cooperation mechanism requires a defined process. All of my steps are to set a standard process for "exchanges between mages from two territories" in the future.

The troops that joined the Mage Army of Tomorrow included fifty knights and twenty spellcasters, many of whom were old acquaintances of Eryuan.

Of course, there were more new faces present. During the orc invasion, these guard knights led by Sirolina suffered heavy losses, and now some of the attendants had to be promoted.

Eryuan expressed respect for these knights after the bloody battle. Although Eryuan gave respect, he received contempt.

Narrator: These knights are unhappy with Eryuan. Among the aristocratic circles of the kingdom, it has always been believed that in the Battle of the Sunwell in the south, the common people Eyuan just took advantage of it, and it was the knights in the Blackstone Fortress who fought the real bloody battle.

Eryuan has no argument about this, as long as there is no conflict between the two parties.

Eyuan repeated his point of view to the Xia Sheng people who followed him: "Kill the core strategic purpose to death."

On the Wave Leader pier, the pilot sailboat of Wave Leader began to set sail. The white sails unfolded like pages of a book automatically opening, and they happened to match the wind direction.

The two military observers opened their eyes wide. Because this was the first time they saw a sailboat with wind elements from several kilometers around it pouring into the sails. This made the people of Xia Sheng, who had always been designed based on modern propeller power, suddenly think, "How can he do this?" A feeling of mind-opening.

As a "native", Eryuan patiently explained to them: "In this world, except for goblins, most power technologies are magical technologies. Compared with all technologies in the Taiyi plane, all technologies rely on materials, and various technologies in this plane rely on runes. design"

The wind direction of this sailboat is magically controlled by the air within a few kilometers. There is always an artificial air vortex six hundred meters away around the sailboat. A sailboat in a whirlpool can be pushed.

Such a three-story sailboat with a size of 100 meters does not have many sailors.

On the Earth side, power is boiling water, and the source of power is turning engines,

"Energy" is the "source" of energy. This is because people on earth are used to this: all machinery relies on a rotor as a "source" to output kinetic energy, and then exports the engine power through mechanical bearings, and converts it into mechanical energy and electrical energy through a power package composed of multiple gears. transmitted to the body.

But in the magic position, there is no similar concept. In the physical world where energy can be drawn from the outside world, there is no concept of "energy", and it is replaced by the concept of "magic network".

All magic equipment "As long as the rune energy and the magic network fit well enough, all mechanical devices can move directly like muscles in the human body that are supplied with blood sugar.

The magicians operate the energy structure to collect the charges from the external natural wind, water, and atmosphere, and apply them to traditional sails and creatures.

The troops in Tomorrow's Territory are heading towards their destination in the direction of the tide.

Eyuan looked at the time traveler named Mu Zhenyao who was recording something with his notes.

Mu Zhenyao wrote a circular text on the jade-like paper: "I reiterate once again that the path of mechanical armor can be abandoned. The integrated development system of biological life and materials has more potential. (The physical body dismantles Gundam.)"

He used his own ancient writing, thinking that others wouldn't be able to understand it, but when he looked up, he saw that Eyuan was staring at him while writing, and he couldn't help but smile stiffly.

Eryuan: "Well, give up mechanical thinking and directly strengthen the physical body, well." - Eryuan praised him: "Get rid of fixed thinking and keep pace with the times. You have great ideas."

After Meshen Yao paused, he suddenly felt that the aliens were his confidants.

Then Eryuan narrated: "We will experiment together after we return, but we have to make an agreement."

Mu Zhen Yao looked at Er Yuan, waiting for questioning. He had already anticipated what Eryuan was going to say. ——Because after getting married, Eryuan acted in an old-fashioned way in everything he did.

Eyuan: All mutation and development must follow the law of the human base, that is, in the early stage of a normal human life, he should be given the right to inherit the development of Tianxin from the evolution of previous life, and should not be interrupted. I will support your experimental project next, but I The trial personnel found were all knights over sixty years old and disabled knights aged fifty. ——I hope you can understand the ethics and morality of this.

Mu Zhenyao felt solemn and nodded. ——As a modern civilized person, he believes that he should be more civilized than the medieval aliens.
