The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

After pouring, because it was too hot, the water vapor on his body evaporated quickly, and even white smoke began to be emitted, obviously it was already hot to a certain extent.

He exhaled a long breath, then turned his head and glanced at John Sal, who was not the same as him. At this moment, the two felt like brothers and sisters.

At the same time, John Sal couldn't help feeling a little emotional when his eyes swept across the volcano entrance behind him.

"Even I can't bear it, it's a shame that elf can stay."

That's right, Carl was still inside, which made Luo Ji admire his work ethic, his willpower is really tenacious.

And just in case, Luo Ji temporarily asked John Sal to call a dwarf soldier to watch over Karl. If Karl stayed in there for a long time and passed out, remember to carry him out.

However, to their surprise, Karl did come out about an hour later, but he came out by himself.

Of course, walking staggeringly made the dwarf soldier following him have to keep his hands up all the time, ready to pick someone up.

After coming out, Karl completely lost the demeanor that a high elf should have, and sat down on the ground with a 'plop'. Then, like Luo Ji before, he quickly tore off his overalls and took off his breathing mask. He took two deep breaths.

Seeing this, Luo Ji promptly handed over a bottle of water.

Carl, who took the bottle of water, was too lazy to care about his image. He drank half of the bottle into his stomach and poured the remaining half on his head. He finally felt a little better.

"How is it? Have you gained anything?"

Afterwards, facing Luo Ji's question, Carl nodded with difficulty.

"Yes, after, I think, I want to find a chance to talk to that dwarf craftsman."

The dwarf craftsmen really don't understand magic crystal ore. During the forging process, Karl clearly discovered that a large amount of elemental power in the magic crystal is completely lost and wasted.

For this forging method, Karl, as an elf craftsman, feels that there are many things that can be improved.

Three hours later, the dwarf craftsman who had completed the preliminary forging came out with a piece of fire elemental alloy that had been hammered into a metal ingot.

Seeing this, John Sal quickly called Karl and walked over.

At first, John Sal said that when the elf in front of him wanted to talk to him about forging techniques, the dwarf craftsman obviously frowned.

In his opinion, this elf with thin arms and legs still knows how to forge?Do not make jokes.

But after chatting for a few words, the brow of the dwarf craftsman obviously relaxed a little, and turned to reveal a little thoughtful color.

And after five or six minutes, the two had already been discussing back and forth on the topic of elemental alloys.

Indeed, the elves don't like the dwarves, and the dwarves don't like the elves' little faces.

But this obviously does not prevent the two craftsmen from discussing their skills and experience. On this point, the two obviously reached a consensus.

Chapter 1998, Old Tears

For the next few days, Karl seemed to be planning to stay here temporarily.

For this, Luo Ji, who had already been mentally prepared, was not surprised.

After returning to Der Spiegel City, the first thing to do is to ask the people below to further improve the high temperature resistance effect of the high temperature work clothes. Are you kidding me?Now this version is not useful at all!

After resting for a few days, Luo Ji regained his energy and quickly returned to his daily work.

In this way, time passed quietly, and the expeditionary army led by Zhou Yi on the outskirts of the New Continent had officially landed on the shore.

With Luo Ji's previous wave of territorial adjustments, although William Zhang and John Saar hitched a ride back home, Yuan Xi and his South Sea Fleet undoubtedly stayed in the offshore waters of the New World.

After Zhou Yi's expeditionary army arrived, it was quickly received.

After completing the landing, the first thing Zhou Yi and his adjutant Dominique Adolf did was to go deep into the forest.

Luo Ji did not move away, and the elven and dwarf cities left here obviously would not disappear.

As for the few plates he removed, when the system was correcting, it also filled in a piece of ordinary terrain, so the terrain of this entire area would not bring any abruptness to people.

Although the ready-made buildings are crude, it is better than nothing.

It's just that the native elves who lived here didn't really have any sense of layout. The locations of the buildings were all in a mess. From Zhou Yi's point of view, they were full of loopholes, and it was difficult to defend against an attack.

It is no exaggeration to say that by letting the group of native elves stay in this forest to fight defensively, the bayonet troops under his command can completely rush left and right in this forest without any pressure.

In any case, he cleared an open space first, and while leaving a team of people to start cutting down trees and collecting wood, he took a team of people and made a special trip to the hilly area outside the forest.

The dwarven city that Luo Ji didn't want was still there, with a few mine veins attached.

The conditions themselves are quite good, but for Luo Ji, it's not worth using his conquest points to move them, so he simply left a few ore veins here as the current front-line resource point. Anyway, this new continent, he also wants to For long-term development, so the local area definitely needs several resource points to provide resources.

Compared with the elves who really have no talent in terms of architecture and layout, this dwarf city is obviously much better.

Although it is still bad in Zhouyi's view, it still looks like a stronghold.

In this way, after Zhou Yi pondered for a while, the early thinking became obvious.

The big forest in the back is used as their resource hoarding point, and the dwarf city here is used as a frontline stronghold.

Then with this stronghold as the center, Zhou Yi directly dispatched more than a dozen investigation teams to investigate the situation in all directions, and open their eyes by the way.

As for himself, he recruited several military engineers who went out with the army, and began to discuss how to improve and strengthen their stronghold on the front line.

The first thing this newcomer does, of course, is to gain a firm foothold.

With Zhou Yi, a veteran with many years of experience in the battlefield, sitting in charge, the development plan on the New World side can only be said to be going very smoothly.

In just one year, Luo Ji's field of vision in the New World had doubled.

During the period, Zhou Yi also annexed three waves of human aborigines.

Not many people, just a few thousand people.

Moreover, these human aborigines are much worse than the aborigines on their main continent. Basically, they still live a fairly primitive life.

With just such a few people, there was no need to send them back to the Myriad Realms civilization. Zhou Yi simply left those natives in the New World as labor force.

At this moment, Luo Ji flipped through the report in his hand. According to Zhou Yi, in the spring of the next year, their Ten Thousand Realms Civilization can send a large-scale construction team to build the first new continent in that big forest. of the city.

This is undoubtedly a good thing. Only after the first city on the New World is officially built, their Ten Thousand Realms civilization's development of the New World will officially start!

In the next few years, the civilization of Myriad Realms was not so much developing at a high speed as it was cultivating health and wellness.

The aftermath of the all-out war in the early years was really not that easy to get rid of.

In the first few years, the finances and the economy were stretched, and Luo Ji had a lot of projects in his hands, and he didn't dare to move at all.

After a few years, there was a slight relief.

And now, for the people of the Myriad Worlds Civilization, some years have passed since that all-out war.

The preferential policies of those annexed cities have also expired one after another, and the taxes gradually collected have allowed Luo Ji Wanjie civilization to start a steady increase in finance and economy in recent years.

This day is very important to Luo Ji, not only because the preferential policy for the last city in his civilization expires on this day, but also because the old minister of his Ministry of Finance, On this day, I finally officially retired...

For this veteran minister who had devoted himself to the civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds for decades, Luo Ji had been avoiding him from time to time over the years, but in fact he held this veteran minister very seriously in his heart.

Now that the old minister is about to retire, he feels a little bit reluctant.

In the Ministry of Finance, the old minister was so excited today. When he was giving a speech, he burst into tears on the spot, crying like an old man.

Let some newcomers of the Ministry of Finance who just came in and don't know much about the situation feel a sigh in their hearts. Our old minister really loves the Ministry of Finance deeply. On the day of retirement, he cried like this.

However, how did these young people know that what their old minister was thinking about was...

"Ma Dan, it's really hard for me, I finally made it to retirement!!"

While thinking this way, the old minister wiped away his tears, and patted the shoulder of a middle-aged man next to him meaningfully...

"Xiao Wang, after the Ministry of Finance, I will leave it to you."

Regarding this, the man called Xiao Wang had tears in his eyes. After so many years, how much their old minister was looking forward to the day of retirement, could he not know?

The life-threatening position of Minister of Finance finally fell on his head. Could he not cry?

In comparison, the old minister, who had simply completed the handover work, took those easy steps and bid farewell to His Majesty. He almost hummed a little song. It is enough to see that his current mood is How relaxing and enjoyable.

Chapter 1999, Happy Little Steps

In the Hall of Political Affairs, Luo Ji had already been waiting there. On this day, even Ye Qingxuan rushed over specially, intending to see off their old minister.

After all, strictly speaking, Ye Qingxuan, who is in charge of managing the finance and commercial economy of the Myriad Realms Civilization, is the old minister's immediate boss.

Walking with cheerful small steps all the way, the old minister came very quickly.

"So many years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the old minister is about to retire. I really feel very sad."

After seeing the old minister, Luo Ji felt a bit of a sigh at the time, but at the same time, he couldn't help but express a few words of emotion.

Unexpectedly, facing this battle, the old minister retreated two steps almost instinctively, with a look of guard on his face, as if asking, 'Your Majesty, are you trying to trick me again? ’, making Luo Ji embarrassed.

Lu Yang, Ye Hua and Henry Boer on the side wanted to laugh but didn't dare to.

Ye Qingxuan, who was standing beside her, had no scruples at all, and burst out laughing with a 'puchi'.

After seeing off the old minister, Ye Qingxuan looked at the melancholy Luo Ji with a teasing face...

"I called you the old minister of Tiankeng all these years. Now it's better. The old minister has a psychological shadow on you. I'm afraid you will ask him to work for a few more years."

"..."

From generation to generation, talented people come out, and new generations replace old ones.

Luo Ji half agreed with this sentence.

It is true that each generation has a lot of talents, but truly top talents are not found in every generation.

At least five-star level talents, there are really not many.

Of course, it's also possible that Luo Ji didn't notice it.

But he can't help it!

Now that he is a civilized family of ten thousand realms, with a population of hundreds of millions, can he still look at the attribute panels of those people one by one?How can I have that kind of time and energy?

After so many years, there must be talents who have been buried, but it is useless to dwell on this issue.

Now the retirement of the old minister of the Ministry of Finance heralds another round of replacement of the old and new blood of their Myriad Realms civilization.

Calculating the time, in two months, the old minister of the construction department will also retire.

For a while, Luo Ji's mood became even more melancholy. After all, he was a monarch and subject for so many years, so of course he had some feelings.

The first day the old minister was away, I missed him.

The second day when the old minister was away, I missed him.

On the third day when the old minister was away, I thought, Huh?A joint report from the Academy of Science and Technology and the Ordnance Research Department?Has the geocentric engine of the dwarves been successfully developed? !

After receiving the news confirming that an important project at the Academy of Sciences and Technology had been successfully developed, Luo Ji walked briskly towards the test site outside the city.

Among the several projects under development, the geocentric engine of the dwarves is undoubtedly a project that Luo Ji attaches great importance to.

Because according to the next development, whether he is building an aircraft carrier, a tank, or even a fighter, a powerful engine is crucial.

Such an important component, if it can obtain the quality and performance guarantee of the dwarves, it will be very reassuring.

However, black technology is black technology after all. Over the years, the research and development project team has conducted several internal experiments intermittently, but the results are not satisfactory.

The last internal test was carried out three months ago.

According to Luo Ji's original prediction, it would take another year or two for the successful development of this dwarf geocentric engine.

In the end, he never expected that after only three months, the research and development project team sent up a report on the success of the research and development!

Of course, this time, the test of the dwarf geocentric engine is different from the conventional test.

Because, that powerful steel heart has already been put into the body of the steel monster named 'Tank' in front of him at this time.

That's right, this test is a joint test jointly applied by the Academy of Science and Technology and the Ordnance Research Department.

An engine, whether it is strong or not, you can let it idle there, you really can't see anything, you have to see what vehicle it is installed on.

To give a simple example, in modern society, if you step on the gas pedal of any car engine, it will soar to [-] horsepower every minute. It sounds quite powerful, doesn't it?

But if you try to install that engine on a main battle tank, you will know how cold it is.

Therefore, if you want to verify the performance of the dwarven geocentric engine, the best way to verify it is to install it on the tank body and see how far it can make this steel monster on the land battlefield soar!

For his latest improved work, Bart Wildhammer can be said to be full of confidence this time, vowing to wash away the shame of the previous one.

During a formal performance test, the track fell off?For Bart Wildhammer, this is simply a stain on his life!

This directly led to him completely abandoning other projects in the next few years, concentrating on improving their dwarf tanks and chariots.
