The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

Of course, Luo Ji was a person who only looked at the effective range, but even if he only looked at the effective range, it had officially surpassed his three-bow 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 Xuan 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 the carriage, Ye Qingxuan, who was looking through the documents and reports in the Qing Luo Palace at that time, 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."

Speaking of this, Luo Ji couldn't help rubbing the center of his brows. Just thinking about this made his head hurt. The development of this civilization burns money faster than burning paper.

What Luo Ji didn't know, however, 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 didn't develop their 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 level, not to mention that Ye Qingxuan is helping him manage the civilization finance.

As the "Minister of Finance" of the Myriad Worlds Civilization, Ye Qingxuan, who is in charge of civilization's economy and finance, undoubtedly knows the expenditures and the funds that will need to be spent in the future.

But at this moment, she still seemed 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 is 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 in 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."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, and then said again...

"Over the past decade or so, the population of the dwarf province has not grown fast, but now it has almost grown to 800 million. 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 500 million.

Now to get back to the point, Luo Ji slapped his head hard 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 dwarven 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.

But the financial economy of civilization, in fact, a large part comes from taxation.

Therefore, the original policy placed a heavy financial burden on the civilization of 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 the Myriad Realms Civilization, and taxation was undoubtedly one of them.

From then on, Luo Ji focused his attention on the development of civilization. After a long time, this matter was 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 abundant, they will definitely not collapse. Don't worry."

Speaking of this, Ye Qingxuan suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"And in the last two World Cups, although the number of participating teams has decreased, each team has cultivated a large number of fans, which does not affect the popularity at all, and even the profit of each session is higher than before."

With Ye Qingxuan's financial guarantee, Luo Ji undoubtedly felt much more at ease.

He then officially named the latest cannon the Cannon and began production.

At the same time, at this very moment, the three-bow bed crossbow of Myriad Worlds Civilization was officially retired!

As for these eliminated three-bow bed crossbows, what to do with them?

Of course, it was 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!

Chapter 1112, Steam Train

From winter to spring, the taxes collected by the dwarf provinces did not disappoint Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan.

Seeing the treasury gradually filling up, Luo Ji breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, while ensuring financial stability, development will naturally continue.

This year, for Luo Ji and Ye Qingxuan, was a busy and steady year.

The development of civilization kept the two of them very busy, but at the same time, there were no unexpected events, which also allowed the two of them to live a fairly stable life.

At the same time, at the end of summer of this year, the western border development project that had lasted for many years was finally basically completed.

Although there are still many follow-up tasks to be dealt with, for those follow-up tasks, only a part of the workers need to be left to do it slowly.

As for the other workers, they were naturally transferred to the railway project in a hurry.

On the side of the construction engineering department, the route map of the railway has already been confirmed, and even a lot of rail parts have been produced.

Now that the workers are in place, they will naturally start working immediately.

According to Luo Ji's initial plan, first build railways and train stations in the border cities to ensure the improvement of support efficiency, and as for the rear cities, just take it easy.

Anyway, it is not a year or two that it is inconvenient to move between these cities.

In this way, the project officially began to be implemented. After a large sum of money was spent, Luo Ji felt that he was a lot poorer all of a sudden, but there was nothing he could do about it.

The next thing Luo Ji had to do was undoubtedly to keep an eye on the development progress of the steam train.

The most troublesome steam engine problem has been solved from the very beginning, coupled with the blessing of gold-level design drawings, although it is the first time to manufacture this new type of mechanical vehicle, as long as the technology is in place and the design drawings are no problem, the efficiency will be great. Basically nowhere to go.

System prompt: Congratulations to player 'Luo Ji' for successfully unlocking the technology item 'Steam Train'

At the end of summer of the following year, the first steam train of Myriad Realms Civilization was officially born. With its birth, Luo Ji unlocked a technological project without any surprise.

Luo Ji took a brief look at the effect bonus of that technology item. Basically, it was to increase the production efficiency of steam trains. This item was surprisingly useful to him. At least he really needed this right now, so he decided to upgrade to three levels in a row.

After finishing the promotion, Luo Ji turned his attention back to the steam train, looked at the big black guy in front of him, and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise on his face.

In the real world, steam trains like this can basically only be seen in certain museums, or appear in some movies and TV series.

But now, it just quietly stops within its reach.

The fingertips lightly touched the slightly thick black metal, and in the end, the whole palm was completely attached to it. The feedback of the cold touch gave Luo Ji a strange feeling.

That feeling, as if he was pushing an entire era forward, and the strong sense of satisfaction constantly filling his body and mind was really incredible.

"call--"

Exhaling with a long breath, Luo Ji first rewarded all the staff of the Academy of Science and Technology, and then turned to ask Lu Yang and Ye Hua who also came to observe...

"How's the border railway construction going?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the railway project in Gaoling City in the western region has been completed."

The person who answered the question at this time was Ye Hua. After all, Lu Yang still had to worry about several other major projects within the Myriad Worlds Civilization. Therefore, Luo Ji asked Ye Hua to help watch over the railway project.

And it was the Western Territory that was the first to lay the railway.

The reason is not complicated, there are basically two.

The first reason was that the workers were all in the western region at that time, so they could simply lay the railway for the western region first, which would save them from traveling back and forth and wasting time.

And the second reason is a little more serious.

As I said before, the laying of railways will greatly improve the efficiency of movement between cities.

And the Western Territory happened to be a relatively backward part of the civilization of the Ten Thousand Realms.

Therefore, Luo Ji wanted to use the advantage of 'convenient transportation' to see if he could drive the economic development of the western region and create more trade routes.

At the same time, he might be able to further improve his popularity among the dwarves.

In this way, the first steam train of the civilization of the ten thousand worlds is naturally given priority to the western region.

Undoubtedly, this matter can become the headline news of the newspaper, and it will be highlighted. Not only did the research and development personnel of the Academy of Science and Technology be interviewed, but two photos were also taken back.

That's right, today's Myriad Realms civilization already has cameras.

But this thing was not created by Luo Ji, but Gao Wen's masterpiece, so naturally there was no need for Luo Ji to invest money.

According to that bastard Gao Wen, he originally wanted to get a camera out for fun, and see if he could make a small sum of money by the way.

As it turned out, he was halfway there.

With the technical power of Goblin Technology, he did successfully create a bulky early camera. The photos taken are black and white, and they are not very clear, but there is no doubt that he successfully created a .

However, the reason why he is half successful is because this thing is not easy to sell...

The people are indeed very interested in this strange thing, but this thing is obviously an expensive item.

Although everyone's life and income are generally good today, the price still dissuades a lot of people.

So far, apart from a few wealthy people who have bought one to go back to toss and play, newspaper offices in various cities have bought one respectively in order to improve the quality of newspapers.

Let the newspaper of Wanjie Civilization successfully match a photo that is not clear.

The cameras developed by Goblin Technology have successfully demonstrated their value in newspaper offices, and the sales of newspapers with photos have indeed become higher than before.

Of course, it is also possible that the people simply want to take a look at the new gadgets created by their Majesty through photos, which is the so-called steam train.

At this moment, the benefits of publishing newspapers are undoubtedly further reflected.

You see, Luo Ji basically did nothing, but easily let the people know about the existence of the steam train, a new type of vehicle, through the newspapers he bought with his own money.

Even the role of the steam train was clearly written in the newspaper.

All of a sudden, the topic of steam trains became a hot topic among the entire civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds.

Everyone is very curious, is the so-called steam train really able to go back and forth between the two cities so fast as the newspaper said?

And as the first steam train in the western region, the mood of countless people in the western region at this moment is far more exciting than other people!

The update is sent, and thanks to the book friends 'This is a good book is very good' for the reward and the book friends 'Li Hao', 'Please call me Wang Tiedan', 'Huang Yifan', 'Shenwu Xiyang', 'wats7410' monthly pass!

Chapter 1113, Steam Train ([-])

The successful manufacture of the first steam train will make the civilization of Myriad Realms lively for a period of time in the future.

There is only one locomotive manufactured by the Institute of Science and Technology of Mingjing City. As for the production of the rear carriages, they are directly placed in the Western Territory.

It's not a complicated thing. According to the craftsmanship of the dwarf blacksmiths, it can be easily done.

And when the locomotive is delivered there, the carriages in the back have been completed long ago, and they can be put into use directly at that time.

For this kind of big news that the people want to read and that keeps causing heated discussions, the newspaper office naturally followed up and reported it all the way, and continued to maintain the heat of this matter.

Of course, Luo Ji was very happy about this, and by the way, he was able to mention the profit of the newspaper office, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

As time passed, with the official launch of the steam train, the heat of this matter officially reached its peak.

The railway stations of Gaoling City and Bugle City in the western region were surrounded by crowds who came to join in the fun.

In the end, even the garrison troops were dispatched, and the order on the scene was finally maintained.
