Out of the cage

Things like airships are the most spectacular miracles in the eyes of agricultural civilizations who have just entered the industrial age.

Its nearly 100-meter-long, metallic shell is like a huge statue totem flying in the air. Oh, yes, Mr. Wei likes to paint shark heads on the front of the airship.

In this world, airships are easy to make. The heat-type runes and wind-type magic runes can quickly change the temperature of the gas in the airbag, which in turn can control the expansion and contraction of the airship's volume. Hydrogen airbags account for 70% of the proportion, but they are divided into multiple internal airbags that are separated from each other. , and the outer cabin is a mixture of water vapor and nitrogen. This is the technology of airships in the goblin era, and of course it is more advanced than goblin technology.

As for the shell, it is also famous for its rough skin and thick flesh, covered with a layer of steel mesh and special isinglass. In the middle ages, those air units like gargoyles would lose seven or eight teeth on average if they wanted to bite the ship. to cause damage.

Carret was sitting on the airship, holding the large disc rudder with one hand, and looking at various air pressure instruments.

On the ground, it was the knights driving for the lord Wei Keng, but in the air it was the other way around. In the passenger compartment behind Carret, the group of young knights couldn't bear the loneliness and began to make noise.

Carret could only ring the communicator and remind them: "It's okay to quarrel, and I will take off the gun and bullets on my body to prevent fire."

After a reprimand, the boys were finally quieted down.

The group of young knights who grew up in the Reiter Territory wear titanium-aluminum armor that is very light. It is similar to the configuration of the infantrymen who landed on the asteroid in the empty twisted plane. They wear helmets, but there is no visor, only a glass cover block. There are swords on their bodies, but more often, they have a twenty-gun rapid-fire pistol pinned to their waists.

Oh, yes, the knights in other places ride horses, and they, the headquarters has prepared twenty-five steam motorcycles for them. ——The medieval version of the will-o'-the-wisp boy.

Let these boys be his guards, Carret often doesn't want to go out, or in other words, try to avoid these middle schoolers when going out.

~

The airship soon arrived over Xiange Town.

After arriving at the airport in the northwest corner,

The cooling magic was activated, and the folds of the airship began to sag inward evenly. The plump airship descended quickly and smoothly like a carambola.

When the shadow of the airship slid across the buildings in the city, Carret also released the exclusive music in a timely manner: "Jinkela~Give it to him~"

With a bang, the door of the cabin where the landing gear of the airship is in contact with the ground is also opened, and Carret slides down the slide—flying wings and the like, due to the need to adjust the body's perception, there are not so many opportunistic tricks for the time being.

~

He rushed back to Xiange Town to see the special envoy sent by the capital.

In Xiange Town, in the house where Wei Keng stayed, Luo Shan was sitting by the bed, looking at the airship on the airport in the distance, braking downward at an angle.

The north is a happy place, and there are always many novelty items coming out—of course, these novelty items are accessible to ordinary people. Different from the new things emerging in the southern commercial cities, there, only by taking out enough gold coins can you see all kinds of wonderful things.

~

Four minutes later, Carret got rid of the group of riders who were looking for motorcycles, and flickered directly to the place where the manor was originally and now the noble guest house.

Of course, as soon as they arrived at the scene, they met the knights of the royal capital. The knights were on guard for a while, and after confirming that it was Carret in front of them, they immediately saluted.

Wei Keng soon saw the cousin~ well, it should be the cousin. Two years older than myself.

Came to the table, facing this decent princess of the royal family, Carret was worthy.

Without paying much attention to her, Wei Keng took out a notepad, and asked in a business-like manner what the capital wants this time. Potions, rune weapons, or machinery, all of these can be given, provided that the king can fulfill the corresponding promise.

Wei Keng took out the list and handed it to the cousin, which was a multiple-choice question.

~

These procedures have already been given to the prince and daughter when they met, and now it is just to determine in which aspects the prince can implement this specific plan.

~

Roseanne covered half of her face with her fan, looking at Carret. The smile on the face is taunting? Or other expressions on the cheeks are difficult to judge.

Xu Xu asked, "Brother Carret, are you not interested in the throne?"

Carret blinked his eyes and looked at her smartly: "This is not a bargaining chip that you can use to make a deal." - The meaning is very simple: I never said to give up the right of inheritance, but I don't want to talk about this kind of thing with you now.

Roseanne said in a seductive tone: "The kingdom can give you a new territory."

Carret looked at His Royal Highness, and immediately checked the system. It was marked on the system that the princess had many "friends who were also from noble families." These were very important wives in the royal capital.

Roseanne: "Snowling lost its male heir when it fought against the tide ten years ago."

~

The system took out a map to introduce: Xixueling, a commercial port in the north of the capital, belongs to the coastal zone. However, it is different from ordinary coastal areas. This territory is located on a prominent peninsula, and outside the peninsula there is a circle of islands with a radius of 140 kilometers.

Such terrain is obvious, with the characteristics of craters! The raised circle on the outer sea separates the entire territory into two parts: the inner shallow sea and the outer deep sea.

Ten years ago, during the Battle of the Sea Tide, a large number of sea tribes invaded here along the ocean currents, and fought a three-year war with the Kingdom of Aiger. The sea power of the Kingdom of Aiger and this group of ethnic groups fought eight major battles with a scale of 5,000 people. Of course, unfortunately, the eldest son of the nobleman in Xixueling died in battle, and then the second son seemed to be cursed by the sea monster, and the second son threw himself into the sea.

Right now, there is only one daughter left, who has inherited the title this year, and needs to recruit someone to complete the inheritance.

~

"Stop!" Carret called to stop Roseanne's introduction.

In Master Wei's eyes, the red thread drawn from her pair of white silk gloves covering her forearm is a very complicated thing.

Carret said solemnly: "Cousin, arranging a good lord for Xi Xueling is your business and has nothing to do with me. I don't have time for behind-the-scenes politics, and I'm not good at it either.

My people, their growing material and spiritual needs, and my personal arcane lessons have consumed enough of my energy. terribly sorry. "

Carret paused, and decided to quickly end this time-wasting conversation.

He took out a pen and wrote on the signature sheet, increasing the original potion share to 11,000.

Carret: "We are still blood relatives, and I can't let you go for nothing. This is the bottom line I can supply to the capital this year under the same original conditions."

It means: "This is the price of your face. It's interesting enough, of course, that's all."

~

Roseanne paused, took the list and said, "Thank you, my cousin, but..."

The girl walked up to Wei Keng and released a sound-proof barrier: "From the legal point of view, you are just my uncle's illegitimate child. This is what many people in the capital insist on."

On the system side, humanities expert Yan Beixiang translated to Wei Keng synchronously: "She is reminding you that in the order of the heirs of the capital, you can be moved backward by the aristocratic council of the capital~ After all, the king may have several illegitimate children

【Qin Xiaohan discovered that Wei Keng is a top-notch guy when it comes to grand strategies, but when it comes to conspiracies, sometimes he can't understand what others are saying at all. And Bai Linglu is a riddler. So he directly arranged for his subordinates to help Wei Keng translate the yin and yang dialect of some nobles. 】

Carret stared at the sound-proof barrier that Roxanne had set up, and of course saw the sparkling jewel on her white glove finger—it was a recorder. This recorder is prepared to unilaterally record the discourse information of Carret's side. It belongs to the behavior of "clip dog".

Carret stepped forward, raised his hand, and pressed against the sound-proof barrier, which was broken with a "click". Of course, he also snubbed the lady in the lobby.

The female knight at the side couldn't help taking a step forward, her hand was already on the hilt of the rapier at her waist, as long as Wei Keng got closer, she would draw out the sharp blade.

Carret: "Actually, there is one thing that His Highness made a mistake. The right to inherit is not a necessary asset for me. It's just that in the territory, groups related to my interests regard it as very important! I can't throw it out easily.

If His Majesty can come up with enough exchange items to replace this asset, and can also stop the mouths of various interest forces in my territory and let them acquiesce, Carret can give up the right of inheritance. ——Then that's a very good deal for me. "

~

Wei Keng had encountered the matter of adding a yellow robe to the body in the Shenzhou plane.

If the decision is made on the side of King Aiger, Wei Keng thinks that they had better take out the bargaining chip earlier, and don't wait for him to complete the unified interest body here.

Otherwise, once the Rongke groups spawned by the northern industrial economy form an alliance, the king will not count such things as being born of a maidservant, being an illegitimate child, and having impure blood!

When the interested parties in the Northern Territory~ are determined to fight for an orthodoxy for Carrett. If the king's capital denies it, it means that there are treacherous and false rumors to confuse the public.

The aristocratic elites of the Northlands are bound to Karrett's military and economy. Facing the noise of Iger's bloated and old bureaucratic system, they have gradually drifted away.

The European War in the main world proves that after the Industrial Revolution, the imbalance of productivity among various regions and the rise of industrial forces made the marriage of blood and the feudal hierarchy unable to prevent the conflict between the old and new forces. What's more, the blood relationship between the capital of Aiger and Carret is not strong in the first place.

~

Carret took three steps back, away from the princess,

Then the in situ space warp disappeared.

Leticia stepped forward and stood beside the princess. The great knight didn't comment much on Carret's performance just now, but just quietly waited for the queen's order.

~

From the perspective of a bystander: In various senses, Carret was not rude to the princess just now, but some actions were too exaggerated. And the identities of the two are equal. Some small jokes, there is no need for the subordinates to say anything.

Please pay attention to "equality", even the knights from the capital have admitted this.

In the opinion of this great knight: whether Carret is an arcane talent or a commanding charm, there is no doubt that excellence is orthodox.

The so-called "legally illegitimate children" in the capital is just that some nobles in the kingdom did not take advantage of the distribution of "fine food" medicines, deliberately provoked troubles, and wanted to remind the north to share the interests.

But from the point of view of the knights of the royal capital, the southern nobles' plan to kick Carret out of the first order is pure nonsense. It can only be tested on the negotiating table and cannot be actually operated.

~

Roseanne thought about it, and said to Leticia, "Lei, what do you think of this meeting?"

Lei: "Your Highness, you have successfully persuaded His Highness Carret. I think other things are not that important."

Roseanne shook her head: "Ms. Lulu said: If you fail to get the other party to put forward conditions, then it means that you have not taken the initiative in the meeting."

At this time, there was a buzzing sound outside the window. And there is the sound of horns and whistles.

The knights from Carret arrived on motorcycles.

This motorcycle is a heavy motorcycle with a length of two meters and a width of half a meter. Almost half of the eight cars were filled with two people~ After getting out of the car, these naive knights hurriedly asked with the common accent and rough voice of farmers in the North: "Where is our lord?"—— Although they are aristocrats, but the army has a rough voice, this group of little heroes have learned badly.

Wei Keng, who was just about to go downstairs and leave, watched this scene and slapped himself on the forehead helplessly.

Carret: "It's the same as the young and Dangerous people. No way, these flirts can't stay with me. They have to be sent to the military headquarters, and a mechanical army has to be formed to accommodate them."

In the end, Carret turned his head to look in the direction of his cousin, and whispered: "Marriage? Well, this method is also good."

~

The noisy two months have passed,

The economic construction and production on the territory continued, and in the newly built industrial territory, technology began to be replaced. A blast furnace of 100 cubic meters is being manufactured, and a chemical reaction furnace with a diameter of 20 meters has also been completed.

Behind such a large production system is a very high-end manufacturing technology: how to control the energy of tunneling!

In the Arcane era, there has never been a precedent for low-level ordinary people to control large-scale Arcane facilities. The powerful information emitted by large-scale Arcane facilities at the quantum level is powerful radiation to ordinary people. Generally, it is the arcane master who forcibly relies on his own mental stability to recklessly resist the radiation of the arcane facilities. Spellcasters who have dealt with such dangerous arcane facilities all year round are often monsters in the eyes of ordinary people.

~

The biggest feature of this industrial facility designed by Wei Keng is that it is safe enough.

In order to ensure long-lasting safety, Wei Keng has spent a lot of effort on safety training for workers.

It is worth mentioning that the value of each pressure-resistant equipment in the industry fluctuates dynamically, and this value will have certain uncertainty with the mental state of the technicians in the factory. You must know that lava in this world can give birth to fire elements, river water The element of water can be born, and the element of wind can be born in the high-altitude wind.

As for a high-energy environment like a smelting plant, what would be born? This gave Wei Keng, who made the safety indicators, a lot of "fuck".

However, according to the strict and precise visualization operations on each rune, as well as targeted meditation operations, 95% of the workload of such a large production system can finally be delivered to the hands of various departments for operation.

Of course, it needs to be tested~ Energy will not only tunnel, but also reflect in the etheric world. So if there is a saboteur who has the energy to attack this reflection in the ether world, then the entire industrial furnace will also have an unstable accident!

[The system's unreliable plan: play with the power of faith, as long as the faith of thousands of people gathers on the important equipment in the factory area, praying for the energy to run in order, then there will be protection in the ether world.

Wei Keng thought it was absurd: Wouldn't it be better to burn some gears with sun symbols on the equipment, a crankshaft like a battle ax, and enshrine the soul of the machine? 】

Wei Keng doesn't know how to deal with metaphysics! This is too embarrassing for people on earth. As the old group of traversers active in the main world, they must persist in science and cognition. Even if cognition creates difficulties in solving problems, cognition cannot be avoided.

Wei Keng finally decided to use the arcane method of protection and strengthen the awareness of protection to solve the problem of safe production.

Theoretically: as long as there are enough inspections in accordance with the production regulations, mental containment will be formed.

In this way, a layer of protection is set up in the ether world, and a large number of early warning spells, escape routes, and refuges (the domain of the gap, the protection system, and the fourth ring) are left on the operating platform of the main material world, which can guarantee Production safety.

~

Carret handed over the production to ordinary low-level arcanists to control, as if he had already handed over the productivity.

Now the security link still relies on senior arcane mages like himself. But in the next five years, it can be transferred to the arcane rune engineers trained by the Rune Academy.

In the spring of Fengfuli 78, when everything was going well, Wei Keng's multiple sets of eight-ring spells were completed.

At this point, the meaning and difficulty of mastering the variety of high-level spells is different from that of low-level spells.

Because after gradually touching the highest energy level allowed by the ether world of this planet, one must start to think about the essence.

The traditional high-level magic is the application mode of high-level drop energy, and what Wei Keng needs is a breakthrough in the entire technical system.
