Wandering Knight Start: I have a simple data panel

Virut finally understood that the war would come, but not now.

Seeing his surprise, Derek explained: "Virut, we are different now. The barefoot are not afraid of the shoes. So I took the opportunity before. I had to fight.

But now we are wearing shoes, there is no need to fight with them barefoot.

When we are ready, we can take everything we want in one fell swoop.

Ten standing divisions are enough to destroy a kingdom.

Two years of digestion can destroy another kingdom.

Five to ten years, the land under our feet is ours.

So... why fight with them?"

Derek is very confident. The original accumulation has been completed, and the rest is to push forward.

His enemy is no longer other kingdoms.

The ultimate enemy is probably time.

In a limited time, there are many things to do, and the feudal era will end sooner or later.

If you can't live forever, then build an empire that is long enough to influence the direction of the whole world.

When everyone opens the book in the future, they will see the name Derek. Isn't this another kind of immortality?

After satisfying all physiological needs, people's pursuits will always change.

These, don't need to be told to Virut.

Virut doesn't need to know, he just needs to obey orders.

At least Derek is a winner, and he has always been a winner.

Before he encountered his first failure, no one could question him.

It was also at this time that the news from the New World finally reached Derek.

"I didn't expect Lawrence to get a fight as soon as he arrived in the New World."

As for the loss, Derek didn't care at all.

War is not a game of house, and the winner will also pay a painful price.

An ironclad ship is a treasure for Lawrence, but not necessarily for Derek.

"Tell Lawrence, I know, let him do it, the New World is far away from the mainland, as long as he is worthy of my trust, I will give him enough power."

Derek pressed the document of apology, he is not a master of micro-manipulation of a machine gun that moves five meters horizontally.

The New World is far away from the horizon, it is good to be able to control the situation. If you really want to grasp everything in your hands, you will end up with a mess.

Compared with the losses Lawrence suffered, he was more concerned about the development of domestic productivity.

…

Military shipyard.

After the first ironclad ship was launched, three warships were started at the dock at the same time.

And a month later, the second batch of six warships started construction.

So far, the docks of the entire military shipyard were all occupied, and the production capacity was directly full.

The manufacture of ironclad ships is very complicated, and it is a systematic project.

With the development of science and technology, the technical threshold of this industry is getting higher and higher.

In three months, the second batch just built a rough hull.

Next, according to the power system, the surface armor will be covered.

Finally, after a trial voyage, the weapon system will be installed, and the final verification trial voyage can be delivered for use.

Because of the existence of ironclad ships, the military shipyard has attracted much attention, at least all naval generals have sent people to keep an eye on it.

These in the dock have owners, but the next batch has not.

Build a good relationship in advance, so that you will have the confidence to compete in the future.

"What? Send people to the New World?"

The director of the military shipyard spoke loudly. Ever since he was scolded by the Duke, he has devoted himself to shipbuilding.

He is busy all day, and he lives and eats in the shipyard.

He still thinks the progress is not enough, and a bunch of people are urging him.

At this time, he is pulling out manpower.

"Impossible... I can't do it... Ask for help!"

He almost started to curse.

It is true that you, Lawrence, gave the shipyard some benefits, but the ship was scrapped after only three months of sailing. Do you want me to cross the ocean to repair it?

"This is the Duke's order to pull out a group of craftsmen and engineers to be responsible for the maintenance of the new continent's warships.

Remember, it is maintenance." The man repeated seriously.

Fortunately, he didn't curse.

The director's first reaction was to be thankful, and then his mind turned, and it took him a long time to figure out the meaning of this sentence.

The Duke's order must be executed, but it also depends on how to execute it.

"I understand, I will select a few... reliable... people right away." He agreed.

Maintenance!

This is not easy. Just find a few capable but not particularly capable people who can handle daily repairs and maintenance.

Anyway, the New World can forget about building its own ships.

This is just one part of the story. The new ironclad ship is not a sailing ship. First, there must be enough steel, then a steam turbine, and then various artillery.

The technical threshold is quite high, which is a reflection of comprehensive strength.

If you grasp these, the New World will not be able to build warships.

If you grasp both people and logistics, the overall situation will not change.

Seeing that the director understood what he meant, the visitor took another round of the shipyard, learned about the progress of each warship, and then returned.

At this time, Derek was walking in Hadley University, and the plain-clothed guards were distributed around.

Because the money was in place, Hadley University opened after a six-month preparation period.

At present, the dual selection standard of recommendation and examination is still implemented.

After several years of implementing secondary and lower-level education, a group of intellectuals were selected for the Northern Principality. The emergence of Hadley University happened to meet the needs of deeper learning.

At this time, the school was dominated by small buildings with two or three floors, and a large number of trees and lakes were preserved. The various colleges were not far from each other.

As for the age of the students, there were middle-aged, young and teenagers.

After all, it was the first class, and there were students of all ages.

Derek, dressed in ordinary clothes, was not conspicuous at all.

As for the significance of the school, the threshold of a factory like a military shipyard will become higher and higher in the future, and the school is prepared for the future.

In addition to natural sciences, the seminary, the college of literature and the political college also have their own value.

What the seminary studies just happens to overturn the old bottom of faith.

The college of literature sings praises for the principality and can influence a large number of intellectuals.

The political college is even better. After the brainwashing of the first two levels, it welcomes young nobles from all countries to come for further studies, and then go back to promote the advanced system of the northern principality.

Of course, Derek attaches the most importance to natural sciences.

He didn't even take the military shipyard too seriously.

He found a classroom at random and listened to the class quietly in the back row.

The professor saw it, but didn't ask.

The atmosphere at Hadley University is relatively relaxed, and many students from other colleges attend classes across majors.

Derek listened carefully for a long time, thinking that his knowledge was enough.

But after listening, all kinds of chemical formulas were flying all over the sky.

In this era of chemistry, the collision of various knowledge, discovered and undiscovered, newly named and long-standing, controversial and uncontroversial, made his head swell.

"Sure enough, researching knowledge is not something that ordinary people can do in any era."

It must be admitted that the poor students are also poor students when they travel back in time.

The things studied by the ancients are not necessarily simple.
