The World Conquest: Giving Birth To Become A God - #196 - 196 Solar-Powered Mobile Carriage

Hearing the provocative words of the witch, Liam frowned.

Judging by her words, it seems that Sylvester was a pretty affluent family.

“My tavern will not be taking any investment,” 

“Although if you are interested, I can sell my tavern’s recipe to you,” Liam replied, after some thought.

As for being a concubine, Liam reacted as if he didn’t hear it.

“Oh? You are willing to sell your tavern’s recipe?” The witch was a little shocked and smiled.

“Interesting… “

The witch thought that this pretty boy would be a stubborn one.

Who knew he would give up so easily? Making her a little disappointed.

Originally, they planned to slowly invade and secure the tavern’s recipe, then kill Liam to keep the secret.

As for the mysterious power that Liam had, silently killing some noble and wealthy merchants?

That was just an insignificant problem for the Sylvester family.

After all, one person, no matter how strong, is no match for an army.

“How much do you want, pretty boy?” 

“What I need is resources, not money,” Liam said.

Taking money is stupid and inefficient.

If that is all that he needs, then he can just steal some money from a rich noble or merchant.

Without connection or backing, you cannot buy a huge quantity of resources, especially in this time of famine.

As for the tavern’s recipe, Liam could have as many as he wanted.

“It seems that you know something,” the witch smiled knowingly.

The famine that spread starting from the east is no secret.

The only thing unknown is how far it will spread.

As an affluent family spanning several kingdoms.

The Sylvester family was already preparing for this famine, collecting many materials.

They only paid attention to the tavern’s recipe because of its deliciousness.

One of the family members who drank it even said that it was more delicious than the royal wine.

They just needed such a thing to earn a lot of money before the famine truly caused some panic.

“What’s wrong? Do you not accept this kind of payment?” Liam asked, seeing the witch look at him meaningfully

“Nothing, it’s just that various resources right now are quite expensive, so you might not get much.”

“As long as you pay with resources, then it’s fine.” Liam didn’t mind.

Soon, Liam had written a list of materials that he needed, as well as the quantities.

Seeing the list, the witch was a little shocked at how precise Liam’s calculations were.

The total cost of the resources on the list is how much the Sylvester family is willing to pay.

Anything more, and they would just forcibly steal the recipe.

“How is it? Can you get these things?” Liam asked coldly.

Staying here for a few months, he was already familiar with various prices.

As for how he estimated the Sylvester family’s bottom line?

It’s because this witch is easy to read.

As he wrote the resources he needed, the witch’s face changed at different rates.

With his knowledge, reading this change was like reading a book.

“We can get this to you in a month,” the witch calmed down and replied.

“By the way, give me the list of what you need to sell your body,” the witch said, still interested in this pretty boy.

“Is there anything else you need? If not, you can start collecting what I need,” Liam said, sending off the guards.

“Hehe, I just like that expression on your face.”

“You interest me more and more. Remember, my name is Yorticia,” the witch Yorticia said as she exited, winking seductively at Liam.

“How troublesome…”

…

A month later, in Yurok city, the resources Liam needed arrived as promised.

“How is it? Is anything missing?” Yorticia asked pitifully, missing Liam.

“Here is the recipe you wanted,” Liam said, not bothering anymore as he ordered his men to transfer the supplies to the mechanical carriages.

“Hey, it seems that you also have this type of convenient carriage,” Yorticia said, getting closer to Liam.

Now, Yorticia changed her dress to a more conservative one after seeing that Liam didn’t like her attire previously.

She even changed her perfume, hoping to get Liam interest.

“It’s none of your business,” Liam replied nonchalantly.

He also noticed that the Sylvester family used mechanical carriages.

However, thinking that they were not the only examinees in their world, he didn’t react much.

There should be a group of students recruited by the Sylvester family to do this.

“How about it, Liam. Did you consider joining our family?”

“Don’t worry; you would no longer be my concubine but the main husband.”

“Is my offer tempting enough?” Yorticia talked endlessly, teasing Liam.

Liam didn’t react as he treated her like air.

Soon, his men finished loading the resources.

“I still have a lot to do. Congrats on getting my recipe,” Liam said goodbye as the mechanical vehicle departed.

Seeing such a cold boy, Yorticia smiled wider, as if she had found an interesting toy.

“Hehe, just wait~”

…

Three years later, in the Promised Land:

With the resources that Liam obtained from the Sylvester family, their progress accelerated.

First was their food supply; the Promised Crop created by Lily, Lydia, and Amara was further enhanced.

Now, besides the special solution needed, it only needed a small amount of water.

Furthermore, it became more nutritious and grew faster.

Originally, it took a month to reach maturity, but now it only took 20 days.

As for nutrition, consuming just one a day was enough.

These three natural alchemists also created a variety of potions for healing, strengthening, and poisoning.

They were also working on a longevity potion, but unfortunately, due to a lack of time and materials, they had not succeeded so far.

Luke and Sam made the most significant progress during these years.

They were finally able to create a solar-powered mechanical carriage.

Moreover, they didn’t stop there.

The carriage had a feature like a trackless train, allowing them to connect multiple carriages horizontally.

Currently, there were already three mechanical carriages connected.

The first carriage served as an accommodation when they were traveling. 

The second was a living space for cooking, processing materials, soil-less planting, and water storage.

The third was a storage room for all of their resources.

All of this was very advanced, to the extent that even other mechanics among the examinees might not have been able to create it.

Luke and Sam’s ability to create such technology was due to their father.

They had been inspired after they saw the mechanical doomsday vehicle their father had created.

It became their primary project when they were at home.

Unfortunately, due to their limited knowledge, they couldn’t create an intelligent program like their father.

Besides the mechanical carriage, the two also developed a range of weapon modules for self-defense.

Although they were somewhat crude and could only penetrate human armor, it was sufficient for their needs.

As for Liam, in three years, he traveled over a thousand kilometers, collecting resources and information.

However, a few months ago, the once lively landscape of a thousand kilometers had become desolate and devoid of people.

…

Standing on the dried-up lake, the brothers and sisters sighed.

“I guess it’s time to leave the promised land…”

The others, upon hearing this, were a little sad, and some of them teared up, especially the children from the previous orphanage.

They had been staying here for over three years, learning to read and gaining knowledge that they might not have had in a lifetime.

Their bodies had grown stronger, and they had acquired fighting skills that could defeat any opponent.

This promised land held so many memories of the happiest times they had experienced.

“It’s fine; we can create our own promised land with our own hands,” Lily comforted, patting the heads of the children.

Packing all the materials they had accumulated into the mechanical carriage, they took one last look at the promised land.

…

A few months later, they finally encountered other humans.

Although the mobile carriage was indeed powered by the sun, its speed was only 30-50 km per day.

They also need to rest along the way, after all the carriage is only for traveling and storage.

All of this adds up, taking them a few months to catch up with the last group of refugees.

The conversion efficiency of the solar panel is only enough for the mobile carriage to travel at a speed comparable to a human.

Luke and Sam were also helpless about this.

They had only been studying mechanics for a decade.

Even though they occasionally visited a time chamber, it wasn’t frequent, and the time dilation was only a few hundred.

As for adding another module, like coal and heat, it was too bulky and would compromise the aesthetics of their carriage.

Because of this, their sisters agreed not to add another energy module.

Anyway, they had the strength and resources to overcome any problem that came their way.

The carriage already served its purpose as a means of transportation and resource storage.

In the future, the brothers can just improve it as they travel.
