Struggle in the Steam Age

Early the next morning, about a battalion of troops and a capable team of superhumans passed by the downstairs of the small building where Lawrence lived, and at the same time woke up Lawrence who was sleeping on the bed.

"It seems that the higher-ups attach great importance to this matter, so there is no need to worry too much." Seeing the soldiers in blue-gray uniforms passing downstairs in two columns, Lawrence nodded lightly and went to the bathroom to wash up. .

Why is it judged that the federation attaches great importance to this matter? That's because Lawrence saw that in addition to the cannons dragged by horses and a team of Transcendents dressed in different styles and not low in level, at the end of the team there were a dozen or so people standing tall and smoking white smoke. Big guy in human form.

Steam mobile armor, a creation that blends superhuman strength and technology. Both manufacturing and operation require the intervention of extraordinary power, but it is enough for ordinary people to use extraordinary power during battle. Because of the cost and operator training, the number of equipment for this equipment is not large, and all of them are directly under the federation.

Under normal circumstances, this kind of steam mobile armor will not be incorporated into the army, especially this kind of exploration of the dark area. After all, their cost is too high, and at the same time, their volume is too large, and they are not suitable for exerting their strength in such a small space as an underground tunnel.

But this time is a rare exception, because considering that the exit of this Underdark region is too close to Eagle Fort, the Federation feels that it is necessary to know the specific situation of this exit. The size of the ogre that climbed up before also shows that the underground tunnels in this area are relatively wide, which can allow mobile armor to move.

By the time Lawrence finished washing and headed to the restaurant downstairs, the army had already left, and at the same time breakfast was placed on the table. Just as he was smearing cheese on the slice of bread in his hand, the staff member held a letter The letter came in.

"Mr. August, this is a letter from St. Gutenberg Cathedral." As he spoke, he put the white envelope on the dining table beside Lawrence. "The courier is at the door, and his order is to take your reply home after he has your letter."

"Okay, I'm going to write the letter now. I'll put the food here, and I'll eat it later." Lawrence said and ran back to his room upstairs with the letter.

This letter was actually an official official letter from the Church of Knowledge, and most of it was used to inform him that the Church of Knowledge had shared his research with the Church of Agriculture and was planning to cooperate in this direction. I hope he sends back the part of the paper he has already written by courier. At the end, it simply reminded Lawrence that if his research results are as effective as he described, the church will give corresponding rewards.

"It seems that this time there may be a good harvest." Lawrence looked at the two church seals at the end of the letter and thought, and then he packed up the papers and observation notes that he had written and handed them to the courier waiting at the door .

For the next three days Lawrence continued his pesticide experiments. The difference from before is that it is likely that the Church of Agriculture issued some order, and the priest who went on an adventure with him also began to use the pesticides he used to start experiments on the surrounding farms.

The only thing that made the ordinary life a little turbulent was that part of the settlement of the adventure of the goblin tribe was settled, and Lawrence was allocated 152 yuan. This has more than doubled the wealth he currently controls. Of course, this amount of money is only the result of the distribution of loot, and the reward for detecting the entrance to the Underdark can only be determined when the team that saw it before figured out where the entrance leads.

"Mr. August, there is another messenger from St. Gutenberg Cathedral looking for you." Just as Lawrence was in the field communicating with the priest of the Agricultural Church about the usage and specific dosage of these pesticides, the staff who stayed behind suddenly ran to him. "He said that some things must be signed by you in person."

"Sign for it in person?" After hearing these words, Lawrence's drowsy brain, which was baked by the afternoon sun, suddenly woke up. This is most likely the paper and experimental report he submitted to the church a few days ago, and the church responded. up.

The parcel this time was a flat cardboard box, and Lawrence immediately opened the box to check after signing for it on the spot. The contents of the box were simple: a thin book wrapped in old newspaper.

"This—" Lawrence tore off the newspaper, only to find that what was wrapped in the newspaper was a copy of "Science".

"Why does a magazine need to be signed for by myself?" After seeing the contents of the package, he checked it with some confusion, and soon he discovered that this magazine was different. "It's like a special issue."

After seeing it, Lawrence couldn't believe it. As a college student, he knew that this top magazine of the White Eagle Federation had only published 11 special issues in its 100-year history.

However, after repeated confirmations, Lawrence was sure that what he was holding was the sample of the 12th special issue of "Science" magazine.

"This is the feeling of witnessing history in the legend." Lawrence smiled and opened the magazine in front of him. After 20 minutes, he closed the book in his hand with a look of shock.

"That's an exaggeration," Lawrence murmured softly. Because after reading this book, he found that this special issue of "Science" magazine has basically become his own special issue. The first part is the paper on microbiological research, and the latter part is the analysis of the principle of grape downy mildew, the treatment process and test notes, as well as the proven and effective medicines and treatment plans.

According to the process of Lawrence's previous life, after submitting these proposals, other people need to conduct a large number of experiments in different places and under different conditions in the same way in order to collect enough experimental data. Then, from the laboratory experiment to the small-scale experiment, the process of the experiment can be completed little by little before the final promotion. The whole process can't be completed within one or two years.

But now, this lengthy process is resolved by the announcement of the Church of Agriculture on the last page of the magazine. According to the introduction in the magazine. Just yesterday evening, the goddess of agriculture issued an oracle to prove the effectiveness of these plans, and at the same time asked the agricultural churches in various places to promote these plans as quickly as possible to save those crops.

"Well, this kind of thing... is very scientific." Looking at the seal of the Church of Agriculture at the bottom of the announcement of the Church of Agriculture on the last page, Lawrence suddenly felt an urge to complain.

Of course, he also knows that this is very reasonable. After all, science is a knowledge system that uses thinking forms such as categories, theorems, and laws to reflect the nature and laws of various phenomena in the real world. In this world with all kinds of supernatural powers and gods, it is wrong to copy the experience of a world without any supernatural powers.

"So, the practice of copying without analyzing the specific situation of things can only be called Scientology, and it is not real science at all. I should also maintain humility, truly be proactive, understand and accept this world from the bottom of my heart. "Lawrence reminded himself in a low voice.

Because he found that he had copied some things from his previous life and achieved success, and his mentality was a little fluttering, and he seemed to have a little condescending pride in this world that was backward compared to his previous life.

Fortunately, he also knew that this mentality would obviously have serious adverse consequences. So Lawrence used the oracle of the goddess of agriculture to remind himself how vast this world is, and there are many things he doesn't know about this world at all. Therefore, there must be no arrogance and arrogance.

After checking out the full magazine. Lawrence picked up a letter that he found in a magazine when he had just turned the page and read it. This letter was written by Priest Carter. After reading this letter, Lawrence finally knew why this special issue was issued.

"It seems that my luck is not bad." Lawrence thought while pinching the opened letter. "Is this the legendary Wuji Tailai?"
