The sky-shattering roar of artillery fire echoed on the test site.
The flying shells easily destroyed targets hundreds of meters away, showing an astonishing range and destructive power.
Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Luo Ji's face was already filled with uncontrollable excitement.
"Quick! Make an accurate range measurement!"
It can be said that the test of a whole new type of cannon went extremely smoothly.
In terms of power, there is basically no need to say more, Luo Ji has always been most concerned about the range.
After ten rounds of shelling measurements, a more accurate value was immediately displayed in front of Luo Ji.
The current effective range of the latest cannon is between 700 and 800 meters, and the maximum range is 1,200 to 1,300 meters!
Of course, Luo Ji is a person who only looks at the effective range, but even if he only looks at the effective range, it has officially surpassed his three-bow bed crossbow from the civilization of the ten thousand worlds, not to mention the power.
At the same time, due to the addition of the talent items of the dwarves, the stability of the latest cannon is very high. At least in the previous hundreds of test firings, there was no explosion or the like.
However, this is not to say that the three-bow bed crossbow does not have any advantages. At least in terms of cost, the three-bow bed crossbow is much cheaper. Of course, the cost of ammunition must also be included in the calculation.
No matter how you think about it, the shells are much more expensive than heavy crossbows, not to mention that heavy crossbows can be recovered and reused in many cases.
How is it like a cannonball? In the future, every time this shot is fired, it is really burning money.
Taking the document in Michelle Ye's hand, he took a look at the obviously higher manufacturing cost, which put him under a lot of financial pressure!
After returning to the palace in a carriage, Ye Qingxuan, who was looking through documents and reports in the Qingluo Hall, couldn't help being curious when she saw Luo Ji's troubled face.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the development of a new type of cannon failed?"
"no."
Luo Ji shook his head, and then told Ye Qingxuan what he was struggling with.
Ye Qingxuan laughed immediately after listening.
"You don't have to worry about finances."
"But last quarter's financial report is not very optimistic, right? Recently, the expenditures for several major projects in civilization and those research projects are too high. Although they will not lose money, they will not have much surplus, let alone the next one. We must study the production of steam locomotives and the laying of railways."
Having said that, Luo Ji couldn't help rubbing the center of his brows. Just thinking about this made his brain hurt. The development of this civilization burns money faster than burning paper.
However, what Luo Ji didn't know was that the economic development of his civilization was already considered prosperous.
Why are other players developing so slowly? To put it bluntly, isn't it just that there is no money?
If you don't have money, you won't be able to develop, and eventually the speed of development will inevitably be slowed down.
It is no exaggeration to say that the later the stage, the greater the importance of economic development.
Those players who did whatever they wanted in the early stage and did not develop the economy well will definitely suffer a lot at this stage.
At this point, Luo Ji can already be called a foresight, surpassing most players of the same rank, not to mention that Ye Qingxuan is helping him manage the civilization finance.
As the "Minister of Finance" of Myriad Realms Civilization, Ye Qingxuan, who is in charge of civilized economy and finance, is undoubtedly aware of these expenditures and the funds that need to be spent in the future.
But at this moment, she still seems to be able to do a job with ease.
While Luo Ji was speaking, Ye Qingxuan unhurriedly handed a document to Luo Ji's eyes.
"What's this?"
As Luo Ji asked, he flipped through the document casually, and his eyes immediately shone.
At the same time, Ye Qingxuan's voice sounded again.
"The preferential policies for the dwarf province officially ended last month. In other words, once this winter is over, the first batch of taxes will be collected before next summer."
Having said that, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said again
"In the past ten years, the population of the dwarven province has not grown fast, but it has almost grown to eight million now. This batch of taxes should be quite considerable."
Here, by the way, it is worth mentioning that in the past ten years, the population of the human race in the Ten Thousand Realms civilization has continued to soar, and now the total population has exceeded 4,500million.
Now to get back to the topic, Luo Ji slapped his head vigorously when he heard this. It took a long time, and he almost forgot about it.
Back then, in order to speed up the integration of the dwarves, and also to appease the dwarf provinces that had just experienced a full-scale war and suffered heavy losses, he promulgated a number of preferential policies, including of course tax exemption and tax reduction policies.
However, a large part of the civilized financial economy comes from taxation.
Therefore, the original policy placed a heavy financial burden on the civilization of the Myriad Realms, but there was no other way.
After the two of them got married, Ye Qingxuan began to take charge of the finance and economy of Myriad Realms Civilization, and taxation was undoubtedly one of them.
Since then, Luo Ji has focused his attention on the development of civilization. After a long time, this matter has been forgotten by him.
If Ye Qingxuan hadn't reminded him today, he probably wouldn't have remembered it.
If the taxes of the dwarven provinces can be collected, it will definitely ease the finances of the civilization of the ten thousand worlds.
"Then I, let people start mass production?"
"No problem, don't worry about finances. Although the first batch of taxes from the dwarven provinces will not make our finances rich, it will definitely not collapse. Don't worry."
Speaking of this, Ye Qingxuan suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"Although the number of teams participating in the last two World Cups has decreased, each team has cultivated a large number of fans, which does not affect the popularity at all. Even the profit of each session is higher than before."
With Ye Qingxuan's financial guarantee, Luo Ji undoubtedly felt a lot more at ease.
He then officially named the latest cannon the Cannon, and began production.
At the same time, at this moment, the three-bow bed crossbow of Myriad Worlds Civilization was officially retired!
As for what to do with these eliminated three-bow bed crossbows?
That, of course, is all handed over to Ye Qingxuan and asked her to sell it to other players.
Although for their Myriad Realms civilization, the three-bow bed crossbow is already a thing that has been eliminated.
But no one can deny that the three-bow bed crossbow produced by their super-technical strength of the Myriad Realms Civilization is obviously better than those of ordinary civilizations. With a little bit of management, Ye Qingxuan can still sell it at a high price, making a good fortune!
