Heaven's Formula

This sentence was like the voice of the people, and instantly caused a wave of waves.

"But we can't express our attitude so straightforwardly. We still need to buy more weapons." Fujiwara cleared his throat and said, "Master May, I may need to trouble you to make another trip on this point."

"What about commercial ports? It's always a good thing to be able to do business."

"We can first send a group of envoys or monks to Qiguo to spread the word about evil horses. Now that the waterway has been opened, even if Jinxia cuts off diplomatic relations with us in the future, the merchants below will not be able to stop them."

Wu Yueyao looked at Her Majesty the Queen, "Do you think it's really good to do this...?"

"Hey..." Chiba Oroko finally changed her sitting position, and said with a long sigh, "Evil horses also have difficulties with evil horses. Repairing war-damaged towns requires money and manpower, and farmers also need farmers to cultivate the fields, and the money is not bad. Make room for some, but it is really difficult to get the manpower together. And you also mentioned that Jinxia is fighting with the Qi royal family, and the Privy Council of the neighboring country is also about to move, how can you make everyone feel at ease."

"What if I can convince everyone?"

These words were like a stone thrown into the water, causing ripples in the crowd.

Wuyue ignored those whispers, stood up and looked straight at Fujiwara Mashi, "Master Fujiwara, is it true that you can't get 1000 people in your territory? I didn't come to Izhe immediately after I returned to Yama, but went to the surrounding areas I turned around to check the situation on the ground. There are a large number of farmers who have lost their land in your territory, and the number is more than a thousand? It’s just that they are all controlled by big landlords and aristocratic families, and they are cultivating farmland that does not belong to them day after day. I didn’t say wrong?"

"Master May, is there any problem with this? I can't force them to hand over all the people who bought it, can I? Besides, good land will be abandoned if it is not planted. In order to avoid famine, of course my territory must continue to maintain production. Row."

"But what I see is that the residents in the lower city are all pale and emaciated, and they don't seem to be satisfied with food and clothing, and the output of the farmland is even estimated to exceed all the needs of the Bali area." Wu Yueyao raised his voice, " May I ask where all the extra food has gone? They can't possibly disappear!"

Makoto Fujiwara's face darkened.

The two attendants behind him also stared angrily, showing the look of the master humiliating the minister to death.

But Wuyue Haruka was unmoved, and said to himself, "In fact, everyone here knows where the food has gone - because such things not only happened under the rule of Mr. Fujiwara, but are common practice of everyone. They all exist. In the granary surrounded by the high wall compound, waiting to exchange for other more valuable materials, such as jewelry, such as guns and ammunition! What you lack is not people, but your own greed!"

Chapter 645 The will to innovate

"Yao, don't be rude in the hall!" The queen had to stop it.She looked at Wu Yueyao in surprise, as if trying to figure out what she was thinking.

The inheritance of the Yama Queen has nothing to do with blood, but the relationship between the queen and many witches is no different from that of mother, daughter and sisters.Qianye watched Wuyue grow up, so she naturally knew what kind of girl she was.She is brave and resolute, but she is not extroverted. She has almost never had any enmity with anyone. This is the first time Chiba has met her impulsive behavior.

"Your Majesty, I'm just stating the facts." The witch said calmly.

But it was this calm answer that pierced Chiba Zhizi's heart.

She had never used such a formal title in the past.

For a moment, the queen suddenly felt that Wu Yueyao was a bit unfamiliar.

The familiar girl in the past seems to have left her.

"Are you...are you blaming me?" Qianye felt an unprecedented exhaustion in her heart, "I am indeed in debt for sending you to the danger of narrow escape, and putting the hope of saving the kingdom on you." you."

"Your Majesty, this is too serious." Yuanjiu coughed twice, "At that time, Lord Wuyue was not the only one who had a heavy responsibility. Everyone here has fought with Dongsheng Kingdom on the battlefield. It can only be said that their responsibilities are different."

"Old Yuan is right, Wu Yueyao has indeed made great achievements, but this is not a reason for her to talk nonsense in the lobby!"

All the ministers agreed one after another.

"Forget it, considering that Miko is still young, I don't care about her slip of the tongue." Fujiwara Makoto straightened his collar, pulled the guard back and said, "But she is no longer suitable for this meeting. Listen, Your Majesty, please let her go down and rest first."

Chiba Zhizi's gaze stayed on Wuyue Haruka.

And May was unmoved.

"I said - I'm going to talk people out of their minds."

There were several muffled chuckles in the auditorium.

"Master Wuyue, do you realize that this covenant has been based on deceit from the very beginning?" The man called Lord Qi opened his folding fan and said, "Jinxia City is just a sign of the opening A city in the southeast of the country, it can neither represent Daqi nor the imperial court. And the Yama country is an equal existence with the mainland kingdom in history, how could it be possible to sign a tribute treaty with a city? Isn’t this a joke ?"

Soon someone answered, "It's fine if Princess Ning can become the next monarch, but the news I heard is that she has not obtained the right of succession, and the king of Qi Kingdom is now Ning Weiyuan."

"To be honest, I was a little skeptical from the beginning." Fujiwara Makoto suddenly showed a playful expression, "Master Wuyue has stayed in Qiguo for so long, it is impossible not to know the situation there. I know that the treaty is unfair , but ignores the interests of the Yama Kingdom, and still wants to promote its implementation... The reason for this is really confusing. As the saying goes, what can make people lose their minds other than money?"

A lot more people laughed this time.

No one took the initiative to say the answer.

But every attendee knew exactly that answer.

"Master Fujiwara, this is the political meeting hall." Master Qi deliberately reminded.

"I'm sorry, sorry, I'm rude." Fujiwara waved his hand, "But it's understandable—after all, no matter how resolute and extraordinary May-sama is, she's just an innocent girl."

As soon as these words were uttered, the atmosphere at the scene became a little strange.Everyone's eyes suddenly focused involuntarily, and fell on Wu Yue's arms, neck and ankles.

It is true that the witch is a candidate for the queen, but there is only one who can become the queen in the end.

Most of the witches who failed the election would marry into wealthy families and become the wives of others.

Miko itself is not a kind of existence that is isolated from the world and far away from the fireworks in the world.

May Haruka walked up to Fujiwara without hesitation, raised her hand and fanned——

"Snapped!"

This slap made the opponent's face stick to the tatami, and blood foam mixed with saliva shot out from the corner of his mouth, which also made Fujiwara's smile freeze at the moment of the slap.

"Bastard!"

"Bold!"

The two shadow guards were furious. They pulled out the knives at their waists and slashed at Wu Yueyao's siblings on the spot - the other party was not aiming at the vitals, but because they were afraid of the identity of the witch.

But someone is one step ahead of them!

Ning Qing and Ning Hong, one on the left and one on the right, kicked the two guards away with a kick.I saw two black shadows crashing into the wall of the lobby, smashing a hole in the wooden partition.

All the ministers were in an uproar!

"What are you doing, Wu Yueyao? This is the political hall, how dare you make trouble here!?"

"Guard, where is the guard?"

"Get this witch for me!"

However, the guards who should have been guarding the door did not appear for a long time.

On the contrary, everyone present heard a dull trampling sound, as if some kind of giant beast was approaching here.

When the door of the room was slammed down, they saw a mechanism creature standing on two feet, holding a solid shield on one arm, and a multi-barreled iron gun fixed on the other hand.

At the same time, more noisy voices entered the ears of the participants——

There are shouts, screams, and the unique click sound of the mechanism running.

Only then did they realize that the outside of Ixe Mansion was already in chaos!

"Get out!"

Master Qi no longer cared about Her Majesty the Queen, and ordered his personal guards to rush out of the gate.But before a group of people got close to the mechanism beast, they were knocked down by a wave of bullets.They also tried to fight back with the guns and weapons supported by Jinxia, ​​but the air rifles that were quite effective against the Dongsheng army turned into a powerless fire stick in front of the machine beast with an iron shell, and the machine beast carried Multi-barreled air guns are far superior to the weapons they have in terms of rate of fire and power.

The ministers ran away with their heads in their arms for a while, so as not to become the dead under the gun.

Only Wu Yueyao stood motionless in the middle of the lobby.

The mechanism monster also didn't intend to attack the witch, and its guns were always aimed at everyone except Wuyue and the blue-faced ghost.

"You, you, you—" Yuanjiu, who was lying under the table, pointed at Wu Yueyao in shock, and stammered for a long time before finishing his sentence, "You guys are actually in the same group! Wu Yueyao, are you crazy? This is treason! Do you want to be the second to settle down?"

Chiba Zhizi also murmured in disbelief, "Why did you do this? Haruka... Could it be that the Jinxia people bewitched you?"

"I have not been bewitched by anyone, and all of this is my own decision." Wuyue turned around and said to the evil horse queen, "It is precisely because I have seen the world beyond the sea that I understand which one is the evil one. The Ma Kingdom should take the road. Besides, Her Royal Highness and Lord Xia have been kind to me, and I don't want to let them down."

"Disappointed? What are you kidding!" Master Fang yelled angrily, "State affairs are not trifling matters, how can one rely on one's own preferences—"

He snapped his mouth shut halfway through.

I saw Nagino put a finger on his forehead.

Everyone knew that if the green-faced ghosts wanted to kill, this single finger would be enough to pierce their heads.

"It seems that Master Qi has changed his original mind." Wu Yueyao smiled, "What about the others?" She looked around and her eyes fell on Yuan Jiudi, "Or I can start with you... Master Yuan."

As she declared before, she will convince everyone present.

—with the power she owns.

6Chapter 16 Ship New Invention

Jinxia City, on the outskirts of the North Gate.

The army has set up a long cordon in the surrounding area, not because of an enemy attack or an accident, but because the Machine Building Bureau intends to conduct a weapon improvement test here.

Different from previous tests conducted on the Martial Arts Field or on the beach, this time the field alone has an area of ​​nearly a hundred acres, and no residents are allowed to approach the test field. Both the scale and the level of confidentiality have been greatly improved compared to before.

The host is naturally Mo Yun, the general manager of the Mechanism Bureau.

"Lord Mo, the target is ready!" Ai Li reported excitedly, "The measured distance from the shooting point is 230 and [-] feet, and all personnel have been evacuated."

"Thank you." Mo Yun raised his binoculars and looked towards the sea to the east - he saw a brig floating on a half-tilt not far from the shore, and obvious signs of freezing could be seen below the waterline.This is a pirate ship that invaded Jinxia's offshore waters before. Since the hull was severely damaged by an ice ship, there was not much repair value, so it was pulled to the shore and left on the beach after being stranded.Now temporarily freezing the breach and pulling it back to the sea as a target, it can be regarded as exhausting the last value.

"Would you like to be the provocateur for this test?"

"Hey, me?" Ai Li was taken aback for a moment, her expression a little eager to try.

Mo Yun nodded and said, "Anyway, you are clear about the process, just inject gas according to the usual operation method."

"Yes, I will try my best to do my best!" The elf said, patting his chest.

"You don't have to be too partial to her. If you make a mistake, you should be punished according to the rules." The high priest Senia, who was watching, covered her mouth and smiled lightly. Although her words were slightly harsh, everyone could see that she was in a good mood.

"It's not biased, she is indeed one of the best students in the Mechanical Engineering Bureau." Mo Yun shook his head, "Besides, half of the technology this time comes from the seed of the spirit tree, so it would be appropriate to let her be the motivator but."

"Lord Mo, the new warhead is loaded and ready for testing at any time!" The assistant in the distance raised a green flag.

"Let's start." Mo Yun ordered.

"Yes, sound the alarm!"

A high-pitched buzzing sound resounded through the outskirts and forests-this was also the final safety reminder, so that residents close to the test area should leave quickly.

After three sirens, Airi activated the railgun.

After a flash of fire, the projectile shot straight at the target ship in the distance at a speed beyond the reach of the naked eye, and the distance of more than 200 feet was reached in an instant!However, the projectile didn't hit the hull directly, but instead skimmed over the side of the ship and fell into the distant sea surface.

There was a slight deviation in the parameters of the test firing.

However, a seemingly ordinary shelling test has changed here.

A thunderous explosion suddenly erupted at the landing point, and a group of dazzling flames exploded, bringing up a column of water that was nearly fifty feet high!The shock wave caused a striking white circle to appear on the sea surface, and even if the hull was not hit directly, it trembled violently!

Senia raised her eyebrows in surprise.

This level of power... Even the blooming ammunition for the 48-pound gun is nothing more than that, right?

No...it should be said to be far superior!

"Is this really the effect of the spirit tree?"

"Well... Without this key material, it would be difficult for the experiment to go so smoothly." Mo Yun raised the corners of his mouth slightly.Although she didn't directly hit the ship, seeing the splashes flying all over the sky, she knew in her heart that this design idea was completely feasible.

That's right, the main weapon, the electromagnetic gun, is still the original weapon without any changes. What she's really testing is a new generation of long-rod projectiles.

It can be said that a shell the size of an arm has concentrated all the technological crystallization of Jinxia City so far.

And its research and development idea is the "Introduction to Universal Magical Artifacts" proposed by Xia Fan.

In the past, half of the artifacts produced by the Mechanism Bureau were astronomical instruments, and the other half were various seismic artifacts, such as sound instruments, streamer amplifiers, and amplification artifacts in Xianshu Jiuyouhuo.

However, Xia Fan believes that magic tools should not only stay in the two categories of Kun and Zhen, and that any type of alchemy should try to develop its exclusive magic tools.

It's just that this truth is simple to say, but it is extremely difficult in reality.

First of all, some basic alchemy spells are really difficult to use on magic tools, such as the tranquility spell in Kanshu, the moon in the water, etc... These completely need to be guided by the consciousness of the caster, and the talisman alone is not very effective.Another point is that any technique used at a high level will always form different branch directions according to personal perception. Although this kind of alchemy is more effective, it cannot be made into a magic weapon for others to use.

It is these kinds of disadvantages that make the Privy Council's training direction more inclined to the cultivation of people rather than the development of instruments.A guard-level alchemist is enough to wipe out hundreds of entry-level qi-sensers holding ordinary magic weapons. The inclusion of a large number of talents ensures that they don't need to invest more resources in the latter.

What has changed this situation is still universal education.

A large amount of unified knowledge is mastered by the beginners, so that they all form a fairly similar view of the world. The magic weapon that one person explores can be quickly used by others as long as a little explanation is given.In addition, a large number of blueprints of magical instruments retrieved from the Gyeonggi Privy Council also provided a reference for the research of the Mechanical Engineering Bureau to help start.

More importantly, the books written by Xia Fan are not just research on shock techniques.

Natural science can be said to be all-encompassing, covering all eight categories of knowledge, at most it is just a difference in the depth of the research level.

Alchemists from the Genus understood the relationship between combustion and oxidation, and for the first time had insight into the nature of explosions.

Alchemists of different species began to frantically use plants and animals to conduct recovery experiments, and for the first time glimpsed the mysteries of the microscopic world under the finely polished lenses of the Mechanism Bureau.

The alchemists of the Kun category looked up at the starry sky, and began to draw star maps according to the theory of the regular movement of stars.

Although the things everyone studied at the beginning were very simple, and basically stayed at the level that ordinary people can observe at a glance, but the core of what they observed has completely changed from the past.

It is based on these foundations that more and more practical instruments have been included in the manufacturing category of the Mechanism Bureau.
