The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

He came here today just to see how the improvement of the catapult is going.

Enter the courtyard of the Ordnance Research Department.

All kinds of mess, big or small, ordnance parts and production equipment spread all over the floor, directly lowered the cleanliness of this department to a lower limit.

Luo Ji looked accustomed to this.

Anyway, every time he came here, there were basically no places in the yard where he could set foot.

As a minister, Michelle Ye has her own independent courtyard.

With several guards, Luo Ji walked all the way towards the courtyard.

In the yard, Michelle Ye was discussing with Jiang Zhan, the goblin's chief ordnance engineer, some issues of ordnance transformation.

Jiang Zhan is now one of the vice ministers of the Ordnance Research Department.

At the same time, two top talents in ordnance research and manufacturing.

They have too many topics in common, and it can be said that they got to know each other very quickly.

And with the concerted efforts of both parties, the results will naturally not disappoint.

Squinting his eyes, he looked at the ordnance that was as big as a small building placed in the courtyard.

A thoughtful look flashed in Luo Ji's eyes.

"Back to the cannon?"

Chapter 626, Returning Cannon

Luo Ji's voice undoubtedly caught Michelle Ye's attention.

When Jiang Zhan and the others saw Luo Ji approaching, they all hurriedly bowed and saluted.

There was obvious tension in his expression.

Obviously, Luo Ji's trip was too sudden.

In comparison, Michelle Ye was not so reserved.

Although Luo Ji is now His Majesty the Emperor, she still doesn't feel much nervous when facing Luo Ji.

Because the two had known each other for so many years, how could the old people who had followed him all the way to the present not know Luo Ji's character?

Attention instantly shifted to what Luo Ji had just said.

"Your Majesty, did you just say the return cannon? What happened to the return cannon?"

Luo Ji wasn't surprised by Michelle Ye's reaction at all.

After sorting out the thoughts in his head, he only heard him speak slowly...

"The so-called return cannon can actually be understood as an evolved version of the catapult..."

While speaking, Luo Ji explained his understanding of the return cannon.

Huihuipao, although it bears the word 'pao', actually has nothing to do with firearms.

It is still a cold weapon through and through.

In addition to this name, it is also called Xiangyang Pao, Boulder Pao, and Trebuchet.

In fact, similar weapons are all summed up in the three words 'catapult', and there is nothing wrong with them.

Because their attack method is to put it bluntly by throwing boulders.

Of course, this time the cannon obviously has stronger power and range than the early catapults.

From Michelle Ye, he took over the design drawing and renovation plan drawn by her.

Luo Ji unhurriedly flipped through the pages.

For large-scale ordnance, the accuracy is not easy to control.

A quasi-head with a parabola is even worse.

It is difficult to improve this problem.

Nor was there much hope for him.

So when Luo Ji first asked Ye Xuan to improve the catapult, he mainly asked her to increase the power and range of the catapult.

The attack method of the catapult is based on the principle of leverage.

The range and destructive power of the boulder come from the explosive power and inertia at the moment the lever is lifted!

The explosive force of the lever bounce comes from its swing range.

In other words, the wider the leverage swings out.

The explosive power and inertia will be stronger.

The range and destructive power of the boulder are also stronger!

With this idea.

Michelle Ye naturally knew where to start.

However, increasing the swing of the catapult lever is not as simple as it sounds.

She and Jiang Zhan were experimenting and improving.

An ordnance is a whole.

One of the component structures was changed.

Then the structure of other components has to be changed accordingly.

Then they changed and changed, and they made the catapult bigger and bigger.

Up to now, it has basically lost its original appearance.

People who don't know think they are doing some new weapons.

For Michelle Ye and the others' transformation direction, Luo Ji undoubtedly affirmed it.

To be honest, Luo Ji didn't expect them to change to this point at first.

His original idea was just to improve it casually, increase some range and power, and then make do with it.

Then wait until it develops to the next stage, and there will be another wave of major upgrades.

As a result, the two top ordnance engineers under him were too capable.

His original plan was disrupted by accident.

This is really something that makes him dumbfounded.

Now that it's all like this, what else is there to say?

This trip really brought him quite a surprise.

After returning to his residence.

Luo Ji directly checked the auction house.

Originally, I wanted to get a silver-level design drawing in seconds.

However, the auction house has been out of stock.

This thing is clearly in high demand.

In the end, I simply bought a design drawing of the black iron-grade 'Huihui Cannon'.

Then asked someone to send it to the Ordnance Research Department.

Then that night, he suffered from insomnia...

Luo Ji, who slept until the afternoon, was really full of sleep.

He can't sleep at all now.

In the end, having nothing to do, he simply opened the system page and studied his own development panel.

With the rapid development of Wanjie civilization, there are more and more various development projects in his development panel.

Even if he is an old driver, sometimes he has to study for a long time before he can determine a point increase.

I have to say, it's a great way to pass the time.

Enough to kill a lot of his time.

After a round of adding points, Luo Ji, who was leaning on the head of the bed, glanced at the sky outside through the window.

Apparently it was still early in the morning.

However, after the brain has undergone sufficient thinking activities.

Not only is he not sleepy now, but he has become more awake than before.

If this were in the real world, he would probably simply turn on the computer and play games.

And then usher in the sunset of the next day in the next round of non-stop...

As for now.

Luo Ji left his bedroom.

Under the eyes of the guards who said 'I knew it', he sat down at the desk in his residence.

Although there are currently no accumulated work files waiting for him to deal with.

However, Luo Ji felt that he could sort out his future development plan.

The development project of the northern mountain forest.

Territorial expansion plan on the steppe.

The later construction of Qingshui City.

Sewer construction projects in dozens of cities.

Further popularization of glass greenhouses.

There is also the place of bitter cold.

Since he wanted to investigate steadily, he felt that a frontline camp should be temporarily cleared out on the outskirts of the Bitter Cold Land.

What Luo Ji listed today are just a few important major projects within the Myriad Worlds Civilization.

If you count small projects, the number will be even more.

At the same time, the question of the total strength of the territory.

Although the system of 'military service' has already been promoted.

Now there are already two batches of reserve soldiers.

But in the final analysis, there is no comparison between reserve soldiers who have only been trained for a period of time and regular soldiers who train every day.

To put it bluntly, the reserve soldiers were at the height of the battle, and their own troops suffered heavy casualties.

For a civilization, whether the army is strong or not depends on the permanent regular army.

Therefore, what Luo Ji wanted now was a regular army stationed in the barracks and trained every day.

Instead of those militarized training for a period of time, they are sent back to their hometowns, what to do.

After a few years, I forgot all my skills, and at the same time drank a beer belly reserve.

But within the Myriad Realms civilization, those who meet the age requirements and are willing to serve as soldiers are basically accepted by him.

Now I want to expand my troops.

There was only one way left for him.

That is to send an expeditionary force as before.

On an expedition all the way, while exploring the terrain and drawing a map, all the tribes found along the way were collected.

Then those who meet the requirements will be sent to the army.
