Out of the cage

at the end of the year. In a palace full of incense.

When the king saw the mages of Birming, the young man in charge of the crown, after learning what had happened to the mages, comforted them with a magic stone, and at the same time put forward the words "will punish Carret" at the kingdom meeting.

In private talks, the middle-aged king made the following evaluation of his nephew's performance:

Carret is somewhat cynical, which is indeed a shortcoming, but overall he is shrewd—avoiding the worst time to enter the imperial capital. Circling in the contradictions in the imperial capital, and using enough patience to drag the conflicts between the various factions exhausted.

only!

The king sighed: It's a pity that he is not his son, and he didn't show that he was on his side. So Carret is smart, so this is the problem.

~

a month later,

Carret's steam car arrived at the imperial capital again.

This time, there were no knights to stop them, but they just helped open the way from afar. The horse manure on the road was thrown out under the rotation of the track, and the rain and dew were evenly stained-Carret sat on the steam car, flipping through his plan.

Seeing the king is necessary, but not the most important. In the case that the territory has been taken back, it is useless to praise him if he sees it earlier, and it is also useless to reprimand him if he sees him later, so don't worry about him. (The leader has deducted all your salary, why are you being polite to him?)

Carret directly handed over his itinerary to the knights, which described going to see the king the next afternoon.

Carret: The first step is to follow the procedure, which is to submit the armaments to the military department of the capital. At the same time, accept the batch of tanks left to them last time. Think about it, those tanks should also be malfunctioning.

Driving the tank into the wide square in front of the magnificent Imperial Military Affairs Building, a Russian-style tank phalanx marched.

The Imperial Armaments Department seems to have received the opinion from above, and expresses its gratitude to Carret for what he left last time.

But in front of the Military Affairs Building—the earl with a protruding belly smiled at Carret and said: "Your Highness, the Military Affairs Department is currently waiting for His Majesty's order."

The words seemed to remind Wei Keng.

Wei Keng's reaction to this was to pretend to be stupid, nodded and said: "Then, excuse me."

After leaving the armament department, Carret recorded in a small notebook and wrote the word "rejection" with a black pen, and then drove the tank convoy away.

~

After Youya Youzai took a nap, Carret came to the Knights of the Kingdom the next day.

After seeing Wei Keng, the Nord knight commander had a dumbfounding expression on his face. ——After this young master arrived in the imperial capital yesterday, he attracted the attention of the whole city. The king has been waiting for him. Fortunately, he really followed the so-called plan after entering the city step by step.

Carret didn't say anything, just looked at the trainee knights training on the playground in the distance, and handed over the usage instructions of the magic potion to the Nord knight leader.

Carret walked to the training ground and asked the name of the training knight.

Then, he took out a metal box and distributed potions to the trainee knights who had reported their names.

Compared with the secrecy of most magician potions, Wei Keng wrote the instructions and ingredients on it.

The raw materials are very simple, rice, livestock liver (vitamin A), fruit dew extracted from fruits (vitamin C), and of course compounds containing trace elements such as iron and zinc.

This potion is to assist the knights to maintain a balanced nutrition during training. Of course, there is no poison in the raw materials, and even what the paladins in the field found in the test are all positive life energy.

After handing over the potions, Carret bid farewell to Nord.

Nord asked: "His Royal Highness, what is your next step?"

Carret: "The next step, um, rest, and go to the palace to submit the application in the afternoon. If your majesty is free, then see you today. If your majesty is not free, I will sleep that night."

~

Carret still saw the king in the evening.

When the concierge of the empire asked Carret to wait, Wei Keng almost left halfway and went directly to the nearby blacksmith shop for shopping. Later, the concierge grabbed Carret and did not let him leave, and accelerated the notification procedure.

Otherwise, this young master Carret can make the king wait for a day.

After seeing the king, Carret explained: "The teacher told me that the most precious thing for an arcanist is time."

The king laughed when he heard this answer.

Before the king made things difficult, Carret added: "The way to make time always effective is to keep your own rhythm."

Of course, there is no time to talk nonsense with this uncle.

Carret took out the blueprint of the potion that he had sent to the knight training center in a heroic manner, and introduced the basic function of the potion and the shipment volume to the king.

This way of admitting that he is ordinary but confident is the same as speaking to farmers and businessmen along the way.

Wei Keng: "As long as you practice social skills, well, you won't be frightened in front of these cold antiques."

~

Wei Keng's medicine is extracted from grain.

Since matter retains quantum information, starches and starches are not the same. ——Otherwise, the food produced by the food making technique would not even be disgusted by the civilians.

The average amount of various substances with high vitality information refined from one ton of grain is only about 7 kg to 23 kg.

For the knight, it is impossible for him to eat ten kilograms of food in one meal, so he can only eat meat. However, the growth of carnivorous attributes is unbalanced, and it is easy to appear a muscular man with high strength, who cannot be as sensitive as an elf ranger.

The "food gas project" that Wei Keng has been pondering in the past six months - how to increase the output of high value-added edible organic matter.

In the refining of this kind of grain as raw material, Carret will never waste grain.

All links will be extracted repeatedly, and finally the dregs will be sent to chicken farms and livestock farms for feeding. Accumulate positive energy information for a new round of life cycle.

Wei Keng is very interested in "Magic food is easy to produce in the forest where elves live". For this reason, through a lot of research, a formula for the accumulation of life quantum information in the food chain is summarized: when each layer of the food chain loses energy during transformation, it will accumulate life quantum information.

Industrialization is to arrange the process through formulas as much as possible, so that this conversion efficiency can be maximized.

Food with slightly lower life information is given to poultry and livestock, and the livestock are allowed to maintain enough freedom in a free-range environment, and the synthesis of organic matter in their bodies will gather enough life information.

In other words, after industrialization, the problem of low prices due to excessive food production will not appear in this world.

Even if the arable area is increased tenfold by digging rivers, consuming a lot of chemical fertilizers, enclosing the jungle to raise sheep and wild boars, and at the same time enclosing the river to raise fish, no matter how much food there is, it can still be consumed.

Oh, the issue of industrialization, there is no need to explain it to my uncle, just tell him what the most significant changes will occur at his level after the times change!

Carret didn't make any further explanations, but His Excellency the King got a piece of information: This year his knight academy apprentices will benefit from the batch of potions brought by his nephew. So he couldn't actually punish Carret's rudeness in entering the capital this time.

In the high-dimensional monitoring space, Qin Xiaohan: "Finally, there are some gods' consciousness."

~

After coming out of the king's place, Carret slept for a day, and the next morning, he visited the tallest one in the city's arcane tower, two mages belonging to the enchantment department and the transformation department.

Mainly to discuss some apprenticeship trials.

Carret evaded the prying eyes of the Mage Tower in the capital under heavy arcane protection. At the same time, on behalf of his non-existent mentor, he welcomed the apprentices from the imperial capital to go to the north to do odd jobs.

Regarding this visit, it was also in a hurry. After delivering information to several mages, it is over.

~

This trip to the imperial capital came to an end.

Carret returned with his steam tank. Not one is going to stay! When the nobles came out of the city gate and asked Carret if he had forgotten something,

Facing many well-meaning nobles at the gate of the city, the son of Carret asked in amazement, "Did you forget something? Nothing?"

After Carret left the city gate, these nobles understood in their hearts, but they could only curse: "Damn, this idiot is just like his father."

Caret knows what their hints are!

They followed the etiquette and refused to accept the tanks that were originally given to the Imperial Military Affairs Department. After Carret finished his work, he calmly forgot about it.

Of course, the more important thing is that when I came to the imperial capital this time, I didn't give any indication to the powerful faction of the imperial capital, the Duke of Golden Blade.

Although the two sides were political enemies in the previous generation, if the two nobles are unwilling to maintain the scene, they will almost declare that they are mortal enemies, which will give a huge reminder to the people standing in line below.

As for why Wei Keng forgot.

Wei Keng: "First of all, I'm too lazy to waste energy on this. My planning process allows me to be generous, but it doesn't allow me to compromise on feudal interpersonal relationships. It's over and there are only limited opportunities. Wait for the next application. Could it be Do you still ask me to beg again and again?

The reason why I walked the road to the imperial capital twice. so troublesome. It is to let the forces associated with the Northern Territory understand the order under the so-called public process.

The most important thing in the industrial age is public order, and jumping in line is the most unacceptable behavior. People with feudal thinking also like to jump in line the most. Put your own importance and priorities above the system. Since I want to come, I have to queue up, and the king's arrangement has to go through procedures with me. "

Maybe Master Wei just wanted to fight to the end. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, it is a rebellious age, with a fighting character.

Wei Keng: "As a small person, I am a good person. But those who master the public weapons dare not even offend the obvious backward groups. How can the public weapons remain constant?"

For those superior queue-jumping spirits, it must be withdrawn.

...

Four hours after Carret left,

In the mansion where Earl Kailuo spent his winter vacation, the Duke of Golden Blade sat in his office and worked.

The location of the mansion of the Earl of Carrot was very good. The copper pipes were filled with groundwater heated by the waste heat of the magic tower a few kilometers away, making the whole room warm. This made the Duke feel very comfortable, so he chose the office here.

The Duke of Golden Blade read through the various behaviors of Carret after he arrived in the imperial capital.

On the whole, the context of His Royal Highness is very clear. A piece of paper can record everything, and no conspiracy can be seen in a clean way. Each link is very concise and short, and no transaction can be seen.

There are several boxes next to him.

The "potion" sent by Carret, the visualization sculpture of the magic rune, and some price documents for the two are exactly the same as Wei Keng's conversations with those local nobles during his southward journey.

The Duke of Golden Blade pulled out the glass cover of a potion and took out the pill. The pill wrapped in tinfoil popped out like a metal ball.

After the evil test was correct, he gnawed the beeswax layer of the pill. Liquid, mucus like oil enters along the throat cavity. The taste is very sweet but not stinky, mellow like wine but not choking, it is warm after entering the abdomen, penetrates the stomach wall, and then naturally penetrates into the skin, just like lay on hands turning into liquid and flowing in the body.

As a sky knight, after tasting it, he decided that it was a good thing.

According to the information, the price of such a pill produced in the northern Austrian territory is 1.2 ten silver coins. This is a good product for the month when the trainee knight stimulates the blood. And taking one pill on the eve of the battle can also maintain enough energy. Judging from its positive energy properties, it is much better than those negative energy potions that stimulate the berserk effect.

The Duke of Golden Blade has asked a pharmacist to measure such a potion.

The refining method was also explored. After all, Wei Keng, as a conscientious businessman, upholds the standards of the food industry and puts all the raw materials on the list.

~

The pharmacist claimed: This is the most basic positive energy medicine, which can be refined.

And just as the Duke's knight said with a smile, Carret didn't pay attention to protecting the secret recipe, and the pharmacist could try to refine it with the same secret recipe,

The pharmacist looked at the price on the package, and reminded: "At least one gold coin!" This made the knights watching the excitement anxious, asking why?

The master pharmacist said, "One gold coin is still the price of raw materials, not counting the pharmacist's labor."

Because: this is the most basic magic potion! Rather than ordinary healing medicine. The price of any magic that is brought is calculated in gold coins.

~

The advantages of industrialized pharmaceuticals are by no means ingredients and secret recipes.

But in all processes, there are unique technologies to increase production and control costs.

Master Wei didn't create any special potion. Instead, they only conducted theoretical research and calculations on the most common basic medicines.

After the refining process, ordinary workshop-level pharmacists cannot control the sterility standard in production, and the waste materials are contaminated by bacteria, so they cannot be reused, so it is also included in the cost.

In industrialized production, as far as possible, the waste of raw materials is reused.

More importantly, Wei Keng applied sociology in industrial production, trying to simplify the influence of non-technical links in all links.

For example, the procurement of grain required for pharmacy is not guaranteed and screened by artisans, but raw materials that meet the standards are directly selected from the annual new grain. Those sellers didn't know that what they were selling was a possible magic ingredient. The sales link is directly purchased and consumed by qualified people, rather than specialty stores.

~

This is a summary of the lessons learned from the "complexity and industrialization of just-needed consumer goods" in modern times.

For example: Marriage and love have complex meanings for ordinary people, so profit-seeking groups are like vampires, greatly increasing the chain of this link.

For example, clothes, from cotton wool to design, to listing and endorsement, every link is increasing unnecessary personnel participation. In the end, the price of the finished product was raised ten or twenty times.

Clothes are just the most common, food, entertainment, accessories, and housing are all complicated, and the relevant rentier groups call it love economy and marriage economy! In the short term, the governors have seen beautiful economic data, but it has actually increased the cost of living for everyone. Then attribute the side effects of low birth rate and high divorce rate to industrialization and the high level of education of women.

~

Wei Keng's concept of industrialization: In the production of just-needed materials, reduce costs and reduce social business and private profits in these links.

This is imitating the spirit of "dimensional c" in the early days of the founding of the East in modern times! This cheap little pill in the 21st century was monopolized by imperialism with technology at that time.

At that time, the humanistic country that was blown into the sky by Yilin Reader Magazine took this opportunity to carefully harvest the whole world. Weak countries must use precious foreign exchange to buy vitamin C. If they do not buy it, there will be a large number of young people suffering from it.

In the end, as a representative of developing countries, he independently conquered the vitamin C production line, and then updated the technology to increase the production dozens of times, supplying 80% of the world's vitamin pills. ——But I didn't make any money. Because I didn't have money to do publicity, I didn't even know my fame. It wasn't as dazzling as the Nobel Prize, and it wasn't like the story of Mother Teresa, which was talked about.

But this is the spirit of oriental industry, and industry serves the public.

~

Wei Keng: Industry puts social integration as the first priority, and the profit target must be limited to the wealthy class of assets.

1. Ten pieces of silver coins are sold at a price increase of 15% on various production costs after throwing away the research and development costs.

1.2 The price of ten silver coins is to facilitate the expansion of industrial raw material production areas, that is, to allow the production of water canals and chemical fertilizer and pesticide machines to go out, and to give potential partners a price that is close to the people.

In the future, if you don't buy chemical fertilizers, don't buy steam engines, and don't even buy Carrett's bonds. It is impossible for the Northern Territory to provide items at this price for these areas.

~

The perspective returns to the capital.

Duke of Golden Blade, after refusing today's lunch,

He seized the time to read all the materials Carret had made in the past two days, silently recited the name of the old king, and said slowly: "An Luexi, your grandson is a good heir."

Various factions in the imperial capital may not believe it: the duke is still a loyal minister of the royal family at heart.

This mighty and powerful duke made the nobles of the capital, big and small, automatically draw close to him.

And his sons and daughters also hope that the principality will gain further autonomy within the empire, or they want to go further in their duke ranks.

This is something that will inevitably occur under the feudal system. The old people are loyal to their ranks, and the young and middle-aged people will do anything to advance their ranks.

~

In the past, unless the king was strong, full of energy, and seasoned experience overwhelmed everything, there would be no problems. Otherwise, a strong minister and a weak monarch will always make it difficult for the whole country to adapt.

As the knight of the old king, the Duke of Golden Blade wanted to choose such an heir for the empire.

The contradiction is that he, an excellent courtier, has too high a standard for the king, and the current king appears to be incompetent and not authoritative enough.

~

On the way back, Carrera filled the pressure valve of the tank and started racing!

This kind of drag racing activity has a whole set of road planning.

In each road station, enough fuel and consumable parts are pre-stored, and the plane is allowed to open the way in advance, reminding the relevant business groups to make way for themselves.

The mobile off-road at a speed of 40 kilometers per hour is not fast in the post-industrial era, but in the contemporary era, each of these vehicles has several tons of mechanical giants forming a roaring formation, raising a large cloud of smoke and dust on the dirt road. The business group shivered, but looked at the express convoy with incomparable curiosity.

From morning to afternoon, every mechanic's buttocks were numb. However, the positivity of wanting to set a record overrides everything.

The straight-line distance of 500 kilometers from north to south needs to be run in five days. It is exciting to think about it.

The loud noise of the vehicles caused the sluggish caravan on the road and the farmers in the farmland on both sides to lie down and watch. And the quails in the grass were so frightened that they burrowed their heads into the soil and their buttocks were exposed, trembling

The lightning speed gave the apprentices in the Northern Territory the pleasure of running at the forefront of the trend of the times.

This return is also a sung! ——The prestige points recorded by the system are soaring.

Standing on the tank, Carret watched the trees and slopes getting closer and closer, and then flung them from the side to the back. He took a deep breath and opened the observation perspective of the ether world.

The vehicle underfoot now seemed legendary, its reflection in the etheric world.

legend! That will last forever in the information transmission, and these cars will also exist in the ether world after they are disassembled. And as people in the future race to a certain speed, there is a chance to see this fast car for the first time in the industrial era.
