While Arturia was busy transforming the kingdom riddled with ills, the empire next door had taken the lead in completing the evolution of its army from cold weapons to firearms under the leadership of the Blood Emperor.
Not only that, he was also keenly aware of the power of technology and industry behind it, and personally ordered the establishment of a special place in the capital of the empire, allowing the magic guild and craftsmen to unite to try to repair and imitate muskets and artillery. .
In terms of accepting new things, no one in the world is faster and more active than this guy.
Especially when the first airship loaded with various supplies set sail from E-Rantel and successfully landed at the high tower at the entrance of the Imperial City Adventurers Association in a very short time, Gilknifer came to greet Allen in person. His eyes instantly lit up, and his whole body was trembling with excitement.
Because he has already imagined what it would be like to put muskets, cannons and other weapons on this huge aircraft, and then conduct volley fire and bombing at the enemies on the ground from a high position.
For other countries in the world that still rely on ground forces as their main force, this is completely a dimensionality reduction strike.
It is very likely that the other side will not even be able to fight back, and can only watch its army collapse and flee in the massacre.
"Haha, it seems that Your Majesty is quite interested in this new means of transportation and transportation, isn't it?"
Allen undoubtedly noticed the other party's reaction. He turned around with a smile and glanced at the airship cabin that was more than a hundred meters long behind Lan, as well as a flight airbag four times the size.
??Although from a modern perspective, this thing looks ugly and rough, just like a shoddy piece of junk.
But in fact, not only is there a large amount of anti-gravity magic inside the cabin, its terrifying load capacity is enough to put any modern large transport aircraft to shame, and even the huge airbag above uses at least thirteen magic technologies.
For example, the air bag has the ability to automatically fuse and repair after rupture. Another example is that only a person who masters second-level magic can control the air bag to inflate and deflate, thereby achieving the purpose of raising or lowering the height.
As for the propulsion system, it is the crystallization of Azeroth's engineering technology - the golden energy core.
As long as it is charged once, it can work continuously for a long time.
"Hahahaha! Of course I'm interested! How could I not be interested! If possible, I would like to place an order with the Hunter Association right now, and order three ships first, no, five ships!" The Blood Emperor laughed and extended a slap in the face.
Because of the recent fight with the city-state alliance in the east, the empire had just annexed four cities and forced the other party to agree to pay a considerable amount of money every year, so it can be said that it is quite wealthy.
Allen smiled and nodded: "Yes! But you have to wait until the first six ships are completed before we can produce them for you."
"The first six ships?" The Blood Emperor touched his chin with a puzzled expression.
"Yes! I am going to take the lead in opening a fixed route from E-Rantel to the capital of the empire, kingdom, and theocracy. Everyone, whether they are civilians, nobles or businessmen, can board the airship as long as they are willing to buy a ticket. Enjoy fast and safe travel between important cities in the above three countries. Moreover, the Hunter Association will send frost dragons to escort you along the way to ensure that everything goes smoothly."
Allen casually revealed his plan to build an air transportation network.
Six airships is not a lot, but it is not a lot.
Coupled with its amazing load-carrying capacity, it is enough to break down the barriers between regions and accelerate cultural, economic and political exchanges within human countries.
As for another invention, the steam locomotive, considering the cost of steelmaking in this world, the vast land and sparsely populated areas, and the frequent presence of various dangerous beasts and monsters, it was eventually cut down without mercy.
Maybe it will be a better choice when the population density reaches a certain level in the next few decades to a hundred years.
But now, airships are the most economical and efficient means of transportation.
¡°Otherwise, just laying and repairing railways would be enough to drag down any country¡¯s finances.
The Blood Emperor looked at the huge cabin, which was hundreds of meters long and dozens of meters wide, with a thoughtful expression on his face: "So that's it! With this epoch-making means of transportation, all kinds of commodities and goods can be It can be transported faster and safer to where it is needed for sale. But what about the cost? Is the starting price affordable by ordinary people and businessmen?"
Allen replied without thinking: "Of course! In fact, the cost of this thing is not as high as most people think. On the contrary, except for the enchantmentThe Blood Emperor agreed without even thinking about it.
¡°Don¡¯t call them aliens and monsters!
He doesn¡¯t even want to provide these technologies to other human countries. It¡¯s best to have them mastered by himself.
But this idea is obviously unrealistic.
No matter what, the kingdoms and theocratic states of the Three Kingdoms Alliance will definitely get it sooner or later.
"The only advantage of the empire is that it accepts and advances very quickly.
Unlike the Theocracy, which always hesitates between magic and firearms.
Although a large number of muskets have been equipped, they have not been put into actual combat.
Many traditional commanders still have doubts about this new weapon.
As for the kingdom, although it is rapidly improving under Arturia's governance, it will still take a long time to catch up with the pace of the empire's development.
Allen had long seen through the little calculation in Gilknife's mind, smiled nonchalantly, and continued to himself: "The second item is related to the war!"
"War?" An expression of interest instantly appeared on the Blood Emperor's face.
"Yes! War! I believe you should have heard about the association's recent actions in the demihuman tribe wasteland. Right now, the King of the Immortal who calls himself Ainz Ooal Gown has been forced to continue to advance towards the border of the Holy Kingdom. I need You immediately assemble the maximum number of troops to bring this operation to a perfect conclusion."
You don¡¯t need to ask to know that this is the real purpose of Allen¡¯s trip.
Although the "Fourth Natural Disaster" cultivated by the association has made Old Bones feel fearful and timid, it is not enough.
He has to make one last stab!
"How many troops do you need?" The Blood Emperor narrowed his eyes and asked.
It can be said that he is quite concerned about the battle that is breaking out in the vast wilderness to the south of the kingdom. He even asked the Hunter Association for a large number of battle impact records to understand how terrifying the force calling itself Nazarick is.
If the empire were to face it on its own, it would definitely get as far away as possible, and would not dare to make fun of the fate of the entire country.
But if it is led by the Hunters Association, that is another matter.
"Eighty thousand! At least 80,000 professional troops! In return, I will provide the empire with some special weapons for free, heavy weapons that surpass muskets and artillery." Allen pursed his lips and revealed a malicious smile.
"A weapon beyond muskets and artillery?!" Gilknife's eyes began to shine.
Without saying a word, Allen directly used magic to create several virtual projections of the highest crystallizations of Azeroth's engineering out of thin air.
He first pointed at one of the steel behemoths and introduced: "Steam tank! A mobile firepower point with extremely thick protection capabilities. It is equipped with a super-large-caliber artillery, which can not only shoot at the enemy, but also use powerful power to The system directly rams, crushing opponents with wheels and tracks. I can provide you with fifty! Imagine your soldiers driving it side by side and rushing towards the enemy! Heavy cavalry will be crushed in a few minutes in front of a steam tank !¡±
"Great! Great! There is such a weapon! Even if that guy named Ainz Ooal Gown can summon an army of 100,000 undead, there is nothing to be afraid of!"
The Blood Emperor pushed away the woman beside him, walked straight to the steam tank, and carefully observed the details of the steel behemoth.
Having decided to embrace the Science and Technology Cult, he directly proved with actual actions that compared to women who only think of women when they have physiological impulses and needs, weapons and machinery are the favorites engraved in men's genes.
"Don't worry, there are more interesting things later. For example, this."
Allen pointed to the tall giant steel puppet next to the steam tank.
"The x6 automatic combat puppet! Not only can it use artillery and firearms for long-range attacks, but it can also use giant melee weapons to sweep away enemies. It is definitely a good thing for attacking fortresses and covering musketeers. However, considering the relatively expensive cost, I We can only provide you with fifteen units. In addition, there are fifty thousand muskets, eight hundred cannons, and an unlimited supply of various bullets, shells, and gunpowder."
"Please give me five days! After five days, I guarantee that there will be an army of 80,000 men waiting for your orders."
After hearing how much benefit could be gained, the Blood Emperor even breathed quickly, and at the same time he was secretly shocked by the technical strength shown by Allen.
Especially steam tanks and automatic combat puppets, which have obviously exceeded the limits of what this world's technology can achieve.
Those complex gears that look rough but actually fit perfectly are difficult for even the best dwarf craftsmen to create. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
