Pirate Kingship

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Since the establishment of the North Sea Empire, there have been so many epoch-making inventions that they have no idea how many times they have heard this exciting bell sound that seems to come from heaven.

But no matter how many times they have heard it, they never get tired of it.

The whale oil mechanics in the carriage all looked fascinated, and none of them did not look forward to the next bell sounding for the birth of a holy relic to ring for them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is just the beginning of a series of world changes in the era of human narrative.

Whale oil technology will surely achieve great explosions in the future.

The number of holy relics born from human mind and creativity will sooner or later exceed the holy relics born from the divine personality.

The difference engine, analytical engine, paddle steamer, dreadnought, flapping wing aircraft, and the steam locomotive developed by Mr. Stephenson today are all like this.

I believe that the creator of the next epoch-making invention is among you, and the Empire will also usher in the time when the stars of mankind shine!"

Byron encouraged the whale oil mechanics in the carriage, as well as a few outstanding apprentice representatives who were still studying in school, which made them all excited like chicken blood.

Look at what His Majesty the Emperor said, "When the stars of mankind shine", who doesn't want to be one of the shining stars in human history?

Only a few close women felt that their husbands (sons) had improved their ability to draw big cakes and gradually reached the realm of perfection, which was higher than his swordsmanship.

Byron was the first to get off the carriage, and he helped the three beautiful ladies down one by one.

Catherine wore a corset and vest that had just become popular, and a whalebone skirt made from the May Leviathan whale stretched out her gorgeous red skirt, and she wore sparkling gemstone high heels.

The jewelry on her body was dazzling, but it did not take away her charm, but complemented each other. At first glance, she was recognized as the embodiment of wealth.

Violet and Hathaway had different styles, but they were both elegant and dignified, bright and noble.

Even though it was bitterly cold in the simple station with air leaking from all sides, the snowflakes in the sky were fluttering, and with their appearance, the ice and snow melted immediately, and the earth came back to life.

If they hadn't deliberately restrained the divine aura on their bodies, even the grass would have grown.

Although the Kingdom of the Netherlands had suffered a great loss in the tulip incident, it still did not prevent the women of the Lancaster royal family from leading the new fashion. Their preferences were the weather vane of the entire material world.

Waist corsets and whalebone bustles will surely become popular quickly.

Violet and Hathaway, who are equally petite, hugged Byron's arms on the left and right.

Only Catherine, who is tall and plump and has the most aura, curled her red lips on the side, thinking that her good sisters and her adoptive mother and mother-in-law are too childish, and did not join them in the fun.

Crash

The front carriages opened one after another, and the heat and water vapor escaped. The whale oil power furnace roared, the gears rotated, and the sound of hydraulic transmission was connected.

A large number of [soldiers] equipped with mechanical prostheses, and a group of whale oil mechanics on the combat side drove human, animal, and insect-shaped constructs down the carriages.

Some insect constructs were also combined with flapping-wing aircraft, gaining the powerful flying ability of taking off on the spot and hovering in the air. In an instant, they surrounded the station and provided the necessary security for the royal family's travel.

Everyone stood together beside the golden steam locomotive, admiring the newly-made quasi-zero-level holy relic - [Stephenson steam locomotive and railway network].

Just by looking at the name, you can tell that the inventor of this holy relic is not Violet, the legendary whale oil mechanic, but one of her students, George Stephenson.

This is more worthy of joy than Violet making a major invention herself.

"Teacher! I have successfully promoted to the fourth level, and it is only a matter of time before I become a fifth-level legend.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to prove myself."

A young man who transformed his entire body into a mechanical prosthesis, with only the brain left in his flesh and blood, jumped out of the locomotive cab with the aura of law that had not completely dissipated.

His short brown hair danced in the wind, and countless green characters formed a waterfall-like digital torrent, connecting him to the collective subconscious of mankind.

It also vaguely formed a digital face that was exactly the same as his appearance, a 100% perfect copy.

This means that he has successfully awakened the core ability of the fourth-level hero whale oil mechanic [Intelligent Mechanic Protocol].

From now on, he can abandon the last flesh and blood brain in his body and transform himself into a complete "digital life" like those inhuman mythical creatures.

At the cost of being more indifferent to emotions, he obtains a second form that is exclusive to humans, greatly prolongs his lifespan, and it is not a problem to live for hundreds of years calmly.

It is equivalent to being ahead of the human race and realizing his own mechanical ascension one step ahead!

Even in this gradually booming whale oil punk era, more and more "intelligent" differential engines, analytical machines, artificial warship spirits, and central intelligent Alpha are widely used.

There is no need to worry that one day it will get out of control and evolve into an "Intelligent Mechanic Crisis" where they draw and I move bricks, and they learn and I generate electricity.

The extraordinary power of [Intelligent Mechanic Protocol] and the unsolvable authority [Creation] and [Mind Dragon Nest] on Violet and Catherine are the most rigorous safety bolts.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

Violet and Byron took the lead in applauding him.

The whale oil mechanics around him clapped along, their faces filled with envy.

They didn't know if they had a chance to become a star, but Stephenson had already begun to shine.

This young man used to be just an ordinary craftsman from an ordinary family at the bottom of society, but he stood out in the selection system of the empire and became successful overnight with his invention.

Moreover, this not only represents countless honors, wealth and status in a discipline and an industry, but also a long life that countless dignitaries cannot obtain!

Hundreds of years later, when Stephenson teaches students, he can still personally explain the first-hand story behind the photo in the textbook and become a living legend.

"Congratulations, Mr. Stephenson, from today on, you are the fourth academician of the Royal Society of Mechanical Engineering."

After the applause subsided, Violet also gave him a new appointment commensurate with his status.

The status of the profession of the Tower Sequence [Whale Oil Mechanic] has been raised to an unprecedented status in history by the Lancaster Royal Family.

It can be said that they are the representatives of the advanced productivity of this era.

What is the most precious thing in this era?

Talent!

Therefore, the most worthy thing for the North Sea Empire to celebrate is not the endless variety of mechanical engineering inventions, but the waves of talents that have emerged one after another after the establishment of a systematic academic system.

In just one year, the number of fourth-order heroic whale oil mechanics has grown to four, all of whom are students brought up by Violet, the [Queen of War].

The first one is Babbage, who was promoted by inventing the difference engine and the analytical engine;

The third one is Hal Graves, who was promoted a few days ago by inventing the flapping-wing machine and perfecting the flying construct;

The fourth one is George Stephenson, who was promoted by inventing the steam locomotive and the railway network;

As for who is the second one?

Of course, it is little Hans who was promoted by holding the right thigh.

Today he also came here to participate in the trial run ceremony, in the crowd of onlookers.

At the beginning, Byron specially arranged for him to preside over the construction of heavy cruisers and steam battleships.

He first worked with Violet, and then built independently after slowly accumulating experience. Now he is also a big shot in the field of sailing warships and steamships.

The famous saying "choice is more important than hard work" is fully reflected in little Hans!

When this shipwright on the pirate ship [Man-eating Shark] was working with Byron, who was a chef, his biggest dream in life was to surpass his father, old Hans, and awaken to a superhuman.

Now he has become a new noble in the empire step by step. I don’t know how many old nobles are eager to marry their daughters to him.

Little Hans was also very fortunate that his human body transformation was not so crazy that he solved the problem from the root in order to maintain a constant "sage time" so that he could concentrate on research.

Otherwise, even the problems of future generations would be solved together.

However, through this personal experience, he also discovered a huge business opportunity.

With more and more whale oil mechanics and a larger audience, various body parts can be specially developed to sell to those colleagues.

What kind of luminous, electric heating, and rotating electric dragon drills will definitely sell like hot cakes!

What’s a spinning wheel?

As long as you give me enough budget, I can make you a customized version of a strange object with supernatural metal, and I also support personal signatures.

After making up his mind, Little Hans was secretly proud:

"For safety reasons, the company will be listed under the name of my student, and then [Miracle Mage] Lord Salant will be invited to invest.

Give half of the profits to His Majesty, and he should not be beaten to death if he is discovered, right?"

At this time, the quasi-zero-level holy relic has completed its transformation, and detailed information has also appeared in Byron's [Logbook].

"The locomotive and the rails are a whole, and the two together form a new freight system.

Their appearance will greatly shorten the distance between regions, promote exchanges between regions and national management, comprehensively promote economic development, and have a profound impact on the whole society.

When the international railway network is initially completed, it will be promoted to a zero-level holy relic.

Effect 1, [Land Freight King]:

The power of the locomotive head has undergone a qualitative change, from an ordinary whale oil steam engine with only a few hundred horsepower to 52,000 horsepower in an instant.

One horsepower is equal to the work done by raising a 75-kilogram object by one meter per second, which can be regarded as the output power of a pack horse.

This power unit has another more familiar name: horsepower.

Imagine how huge the energy of more than 50,000 horsepower is. It can stretch the carriage group to 324 cars, with a total length of 4,088 meters and a total cargo weight of 32,400 tons!

The carriage has its own space, whether it is pulling people, pulling heavy goods, or pulling cargo, it is only limited by the total weight.

The cargo capacity of the common sailing merchant ships on the sea is at most two or three hundred tons. The cargo capacity of this steam locomotive is equivalent to the largest merchant fleet.

Moreover, as a mechanical creation with full endurance value, it does not know what rest is, and can achieve ultra-long-distance land transportation that was unattainable in the past. "

Compared to the holy relic locomotive that has only one and cannot be copied, the second effect behind it is more important to Byron.

"Effect 2, [Earth Vein Railway Network]:

The railway network can be connected to the earth veins.

As long as railways and station networks are built on the earth vein nodes, you can travel freely in all the lands under the rule of the Supreme Crown of the [Human Emperor].

You can even jump freely between earth vein nodes. The energy consumption of the work done in the middle will not be reduced, but a lot of transportation time can be saved.

That is to say, as long as the railway network is built, the steam locomotive can even directly cross the sea from one continent to another, becoming a real intercontinental train!

Relying on this large-scale personnel and logistics transportation system, the First Empire of the Sun Never Sets, which is distributed all over the world, can be closely connected together to fully consolidate the empire's rule.

Theoretically, if Byron can open up the flood discharge channel to other worlds and let other worlds connect to the grid, the locomotive can be driven directly to their homes. "

In addition to these two abilities, don't forget that all whale oil steam engines have an inherent ability [Source Engine]:

"Energy level improvement is the only way for the world to be promoted.

Not only the original prototype has magical powers, but all whale oil-powered steam engines produced by humans can draw part of the energy from the ubiquitous source tides, replace whale oil consumption, and achieve oil-water mixing!

The higher the sea level of the source sea, the higher the proportion of this energy replacement will be. The current intertidal zone conditions are 30% for the Dragon King's Court, 40% for the Beast Paradise, and 50% for the Corridor of Truth.

The just discovered ancient pillar is 70%.

Theoretically, the replacement rate of the source tide can reach more than 80%. Even if it is not a perpetual motion machine, it will not be much different.

When countless factories are built and countless steel dragons run between the continents, a large number of whale oil steam engines can naturally greatly slow down the rise of sea levels and reduce the various disasters caused by the source tide.

This is an inexhaustible and unlimited clean energy. "

Thanks to the big oil field sponsored by the boss of the Sea of ​​Source!

Of course, Byron did not ignore the crucial premise here, that is, the width of the railway tracks and industry standards in the world must be unified.

What is more difficult to unify than technical standards is the political differences and the gap in people's hearts between countries.

The only person in the world who can unify weights and measures and various standards is Byron himself, the [Human Emperor] who controls the "Saint Byron Code".

My rules are rules!

Third-rate companies make products, second-rate companies make brands, and first-rate companies make standards.

No matter how great the resistance is, or how many people oppose it, even the most absurd orders will be strictly enforced without any water.

It is no exaggeration to say that Byron had a dream the night before and realized it the next day.

Unifying standards is just the simplest operation.

When other independent countries realize the power of steam locomotives, they can only... They can choose to join the standards set by Byron and form a network of trade nodes deeply influenced by him.

The different standards of various countries will also be abolished, and there will be only one standard in the entire material world!

Who would believe that [Human Emperor] Saint Byron was not the planetary leader at that time?

Even if Byron himself refused, countless small animals such as foxes, fish, and white snakes would come to add a piece of clothing to him.

Then, Byron announced his ambitious infrastructure plan to everyone: "Intercontinental Railway Networking", the establishment of the Imperial Railway Department and the Railway Corporation.

Once the intercontinental network is built, it can provide at least millions of jobs worldwide and benefit countless families.

Catherine has taken her secretary to calculate the construction costs and construction period on the spot.

Hathaway took Byron's hand, her bright eyes sparkling:

"Byron, I think steam locomotives and wizards are unexpectedly in tune.

Think about it, let children from all over the world have the opportunity to go to major wizard schools.

Sitting on a steam locomotive that can travel through the sea, rainforest, and desert to explore the hall of truth is really a fairytale atmosphere.

Why not build the first special line in the "Fairy Tale Town School". "

Byron had no way to deal with his mother, so this small request could still satisfy her, and he agreed without hesitation:

"Okay, the first special line of the Corridor of Truth will be built from Yuanwang Port to Fairy Tale Town.

And I have solved the labor problem. "

Hathaway had no sense of being a queen mother, and clapped her hands excitedly:

"Great. When I return to the Corridor of Truth, I will take Amon and Nut to ride the locomotive together. "

Byron was too lazy to expose her.

He thought: 'Don't always use the name of your grandson or granddaughter. In fact, you just want to play, right? You stay here forever 17 years old!'

But the key labor problem did not lie to my mother.

The source of labor is of course the crypt dwarves of the ancient pillar.

Before, Byron already knew that there were two camps of gods in the three-phase point, and it was not certain which side the crypt dwarves really converted to.

So he specifically checked their collective subconscious.

The unidentified "god" did not leave any traces on these dwarves, and his methods were much more sophisticated than the fallen [God of Light].

There is no need to anchor faith, no need to recite the three-part honorific name, as long as the sacrifice and willpower are sacrificed in the prayer ceremony, they will disappear out of thin air, and a continuous supply of a certain superior existence.

Even the crypt dwarves themselves don't know who they believe in.

But Byron also has a guess:

"I can become a legend and anchor the 'first one' because of my obsession: freedom.

I don't believe that the [Bound Creator] would tie himself up, so according to common sense, the most likely person to tie the three of them up is the World Will.

Nova estimated that at least more than 30 million crypt dwarves have worshipped the other party for an entire Silver Age. Being able to compete with the entire Creator Church, it is definitely a perfect will power factory.

It doesn't matter if you are weak, because supernatural creatures are always stronger than humans. They are just free to build large infrastructure, and I can give them all my thoughts and wishes.

In this way, the first railway to be completed is the Taigu Pillar Railway. "

At this time, the [Golden Deer] has already embarked on the return journey.

At the current speed, it will arrive at the west coast of the Beast Paradise along the "World Serpent·Celestial Circulation Belt" around the end of November, that is, the coast of the Sun Empire located in the Ring of Fire Mountains.

It is very likely that by relying on the merit of being the first to complete the circumnavigation, Byron will get the status and priesthood of the [World Serpent] by the way, making Byron, the world's unique [Ouroboros], worthy of the name.

It is enough to make him take a big step forward from the emperor who only rules the human kingdom to the "Captain of the Globe" who rules the natural world!

Not only dig into the corner of the Creator, but also dig into the world's will in a fair and just manner.

At the same time, the situation in the Beast Paradise on the southern continent also changed suddenly.

The previous invincible fleet of the Pyrenees Empire included the best sailors in the entire empire. , the best artillery, the best army, and officers at all levels covered almost all the powerful classes in the country.

Including: nobles, lay monks, knights, military families, large ship merchants, etc.

The key issue is that if we don’t count overseas colonies and only count the main ethnic population, the entire Pyrenean Empire does not exceed 10 million people in total.

Byron captured the Invincible Fleet as a whole, which almost captured the essence of the entire empire.

Within 20 years, there was no power to organize a second comparable expedition to destroy the country.

The destruction of the Invincible Fleet was devastating to the empire.

So the news of the collapse of the war spread rapidly after it reached the country.

In addition, the influence of the national title of the First Empire on which the Sun Never Sets [The Kingdom on the Top of the Mountain·Spiritual Homeland] and the subsequent change of ownership of the church [Triple Crown], The surrender faction of the Rhine Empire immediately came one after another.

Before Byron sent troops to occupy it, many lords and bishops took the initiative to send messages and request conversion.

In this case, even if [Arrogant Morning Star] Lucifer had the power of a demigod, it would be impossible for him to continue to maintain his rule.

He could only control his kingdom of God, "City of Seven Hills", to return to the capital once and plunder the treasures accumulated by the Trastamara royal family for hundreds of years.

He also took away the fleet of Aragon and the direct descendants of the extraordinary people loyal to the royal family in the name of "Mother" Saint Isabella.

Then he completely abandoned this land that had been rapidly swallowed up by the "Saint Byron Code" and ran all the way to the imperial colony of the Beast Paradise on the southern continent.

He announced that the exiled royal family would re-establish their country.

On this vast land, he used the [Golden Holy Ark of the Covenant] and the [Solomon Law] to establish a new country. 【Classic】Established the New Pyrenees Empire and renamed it: Solomon Empire.

In just over half a month, this demigod connected the colonies opened up by the Orthodox Alliance countries in the southern continent.

The territory of the Gold Power Restoration Party and the Dutch Free Masons Association, which also fled here, all joined him and the Joker.

The "Pure Evil" Church, which already believed in him and had a vast land on the east coast of the southern continent, also joined.

Lucifer was not satisfied.

He launched his own 【Degenerate】 priesthood and corrupted the pirate kingdom established by the pirate king 【Ocean Throne】 Barbarossa Hayreddin and the tribes of totem gods nearby.

The area ruled by the Solomon Empire also suddenly soared to 3 million square kilometers, and invited major hostile churches of the old gods to join.

For a while, 【Arrogant Morning Star Lucifer】 was so popular that it could compete with the other great empire on this continent, the Sun Empire.
