- #273 - Chapter 274 Mechanical Creation
Zelen: “Good, good.
Compared to Hongji who fainted from exhaustion, Zelen, who came to the Lymington Arms Company test site in the afternoon, was happy to see a heavy truck carrying an energy ray generator.
Qin: “Based on your instructions and the cooperation information from the Holy Church, we call it a mechanical creation.”
Mechanical creation?
Although the name sounds very weird, thanks to the technical assistance of the Holy Church and the “free help” of the pig-headed people of the Akitsu Empire, the mechanical creation is actually a heavy-duty truck that shoots plasma energy balls.
As for why there is such a weapon?
Very simple.
In the traditional sense, vehicle-mounted flying missile launchers always have a flaw, and they are easily intercepted by the other party using flying missiles.
For this reason, launching the generated plasma energy ball to the designated target through space transfer spell is a sudden strike method that Zelen can think of.
Especially after the Holy Church developed the time-space teleporter, the Holy Church was able to quickly move a fleet to a relatively distant place.
Therefore, Zelen realized that he could not continue to lag behind. Even if the economy of our country is not very good, there are too many civil affairs matters in the country that require Congress to take care of.
If the Krurod Empire did not have the strength to become a major power, then the abundant resources of the Krurod Empire would definitely become a meal for foreign forces.
If nothing else, the pig-headed man who deserves to be killed ten thousand times will definitely come back.
So, a mechanical creation that can emit high-energy proton plasma beams, right?
As long as it’s useful, he can’t let it go.
Zelen: “As long as our supporting facilities reach a place where it can be detected, it can be activated and launch plasma balls?”
Qin: “Yes. But after launch, it takes a long time for standby and automatic loading.”
Zelen: “Death range?”
Qin: “One shot can destroy cluster targets within a 500-meter radius.”
Zelen: “It would be nice if it could be bigger.”
Although Zelen knew that his idea would definitely not be that easy to realize.
If it is really to be realized, it will require the proton impact cannon built by the Holy Church in Kapok City.
This is something that can destroy a city with just one bombardment.
The mechanical creation truck that Zelen saw now was just a miniaturized foreign trade model, and its power and range data were simply incomparable.
Of course, if possible, he needs to find a practical target for necessary testing.
For example, the sheep-headed people of the Eastern Province are very suitable targets.
But now, instead of this, he wants to think about how to make more money in his pocket. Otherwise, he would not have the ability to produce more strategic weapons like mechanical creations.
It seems that we still have to start from the perspective of arms trade, not only the domestic arms trade market, but also foreign countries.
The problem is that abroad… there seems to be no market that is more suitable for making a fortune abroad.
In particular, the Takagi Kingdom, which is currently the most suitable place to make a fortune, has been regarded as a selling point for waste materials by the Holy Church.
or……
How about he make a fortune too?
Anyway, compared to the Holy Church, the Krorod Empire has older cannons and flying weapons. As for whether he has money, it doesn’t matter, he can also harvest rice or other gold, silver and jewelry.
If that doesn’t work, the specialties of the Takagi Kingdom, chili peppers and sauerkraut, are fine.
Especially sauerkraut, despite the fact that there are many reckless men in the Krurod Empire who are not happy with meat. It is for this reason that sauerkraut has always been very popular.
In the tropics, eating some sauerkraut is not appetizing, and the problem of food easily spoiling has always been a worry for every household in the Crurod Empire.
Even though the current Krorod Empire has refrigerated cabinets for preservation, this does not mean that the refrigerated cabinets can keep food fresh all the time.
Therefore, air-dried bacon and vinegar-stuffed vegetables have long been common foods eaten by the people of the Crurod Empire.
Although the nutrients of shelf-stable food will definitely be lost due to processing, being able to be stored at room temperature for a long time and being able to be eaten normally is always more important than anything else.
Especially for long-distance travel, salt-rich jerky and appetizing sauerkraut are great must-haves.
Fishermen who have been making a living at sea for a long time have the best say in this matter.
etc.
The topic is a bit far-fetched, so let’s focus on foreign trade weapons.
In this way, he thought again, if he really wanted to sell weapons…it might be better to sell them to the Orchid Republic.
After all, if they want to make the Northern Expedition, they will definitely need more weapons and equipment, especially because their 20-gun cannon has not developed a relatively easy-to-use product due to historical reasons.
So sell?
Sell!
That’s it!
Anyway, the Orchid Republic experienced a failure in the First Northern Expedition, and its own strength was obviously lost, so much so that it needed to seek help from the Negan Empire in the south to provide an expeditionary force. In other words, the Orchid Republic will definitely need more heavy weapons.
Coincidentally, the Krorod Empire began to use more beam weapons, and certain firearms that were no longer necessary to equip and use naturally became suitable products for external marketing.
But compared to the “big gift” that Zelen had prepared for the sheep-headed man, Nagamasa in the Takagi Kingdom had lived a “quiet” life for a month.
Nagamasa: “There’s still no way to import technology from abroad, right?”
Staff: “No. The Negan Empire is willing to provide, but their requirements…”
Nagamasa: “I absolutely cannot agree. Their fundamental purpose is to hope that we black-haired kobolds will continue to be at their mercy and become peanuts for them to exploit. You must know that their meaning is very simple. They want to control our military facilities. By then our missile weapons will have to be obtained from them.”
Subordinate: “This…”
Nagamasa: “Listen, we would rather ask that fool Junwu for the technology to make gun barrel steel than ask the profiteers of the Negan Empire. These profiteers never consider the interests of the black-haired kobolds. It’s all about how to protect their own interests.”
Even if his decision will make him continue to lag behind Junwu, Nagamasa still believes that his choice is the most correct.
The factories belonging to the black-haired kobolds must not be contaminated by foreign forces, otherwise the black-haired kobolds will repeat the mistakes made by the native humans on the Newland continent in the future.
Don’t think that you are in a good position just because the profiteers of the Negan Empire provide very high-quality goods and services at low prices. Wrong! Their “good intentions” are based on taking by force.
In the past, on the continent of Neoland, the primitive indigenous humans did not even know how to smelt metal. So profiteers from the Negan Empire began to sell various iron tools, such as kitchen knives.
Yes.
Don’t underestimate the kitchen knife.
The Takagi Kingdom was also founded, no, it was built about five years after usurping the original owner.
In the previous Takagi Kingdom, the families who could use steel kitchen knives were either rich or noble, and they were basically families with great connections to the royal family.
As for other ordinary households, kitchen knives, even those made of simpler iron sheets.
This also has to be shared by several families.
Not to mention that at that time, the king of the Takagi Kingdom had already controlled every blacksmith in the country and was strictly wary of any type of products made by the blacksmiths.
Everything is to prevent the civilians from having enough force to threaten their own rule, and to prevent themselves from being overthrown by civilian armed forces.
Therefore, for blacksmithing, a handicraft industry, normally even a fishing village must have a blacksmith with acceptable skills.
but none.
This is the rule of the Takagi royal family. They are extremely afraid of any factor that can threaten them.
If possible, the Takagi royal family would most like to have some kind of machine that can control the minds of all citizens and ensure that they obey their orders absolutely and unconditionally.
But is this possible?
The Takagi royal family itself is an aristocratic group that has its own agenda and intrigues with each other.
Everyone wants to be a king.
And it can control the minds of all citizens…
Just thinking about it is scary.
It’s just a pity that the Orchid Republic has spread neurotoxins, and the people of Takagi Kingdom basically have no controlled ones with shining eyes.
Although this will make the road to unification of the Takagi Kingdom more difficult, and even more impossible in a sense.
