Blessing from the goddess at the beginning, technology VS magic

After Miriam left, Rhett believed that the process of industrialization must be accelerated. The existence of the sculpture proved that there are highly civilized forces in this world. It was probably the backing of the Samurai Society. After all, the sculpture was taken from them. Arrived.

Magic is a very convenient thing. It would be better if you can use it by yourself. Isn't there a civilization that develops magic technology in Blue Star's novels? But after actual research today, I learned that turning to the development of the magic industry, or the combination of science and magic, is not that easy. First of all, there are only three people with this knowledge in my hands, and I have developed it through ordinary people. Today, no one can write corresponding textbooks even if they want to popularize the basics of magic.

Rhett now wants to develop magic technology just like the newly disbanded Ermao wanted to continue building the Varyag. Rhett needs a magic empire, a parliament, an imperial planning committee, a magic industry committee, nine magic industry departments, and 600 Related majors and 8000 supporting manufacturers. In short, a powerful magic country is needed to complete the transformation.

Obviously, he does not have these. It is unwise to take a completely unknown route when Blue Star has accumulated more than 5000 years of experience, and there is no extra productivity for him to do this.

Someone has already walked it honestly, and the path that has overcome most of the pitfalls is the most correct and stable path.

Studying these now is just to have corresponding countermeasures against similar enemies in the future.

Returning to the topic of accelerating the industrialization process, what are the problems facing us now?

resource!

Although he can make it out of thin air, it only consumes magic power. Now it seems that his creative magic does not follow the law of conservation of mass at all, so what the heck.

But the amount of resources consumed by an industrialized country is astronomical, and even if it is drained, it is impossible to support the needs of the republic's industrialization. For example, in the 20s, China consumed 16.5 tons of gasoline every day! If it is pulled by train, it can pull 17 trains with a capacity of tons, and this is just one day!

There are countless other resources. It is impossible for Red to solve the resource problem alone. What he can do is to manufacture key industrial parts and act like a catalyst to speed up the process of industrialization so as not to get stuck in a certain difficult technology. .

What Rhett wants most now is rubber. Tires, hoses, and conveyor belts all need rubber. Rubber trees generally grow in the tropics. Although he doesn’t know where on this planet is a tropic, he is definitely not in this place. This continent is also They are all surrounded by mountains and forests. If you want to find rubber, you have to go to the sea, and if you want to go to the sea, you have to pass through the West Bay Federation.

This is also his next goal. If the damn Stephen Empire hadn't gone crazy and caused trouble for him, he would have planned to attack the West Bay Federation by now. Rhett's original plan was to divide the West Bay Federation from within. With the purchase of steam engines and the substantial increase in productivity, the seeds of capitalism have emerged. Even though the West Bay federal aristocrats and businessmen have a close relationship, they are not the same class after all, and conflicts will eventually break out.

What he has to do is to fan the flames, sell some weapons to both sides, and then take the opportunity to ask for a port so that he can go to sea to find rubber.

But now the plan has been interrupted. Facing the direct threat from the Stephen Empire in the north, the Sunri Republic has too much time to take care of itself. Even if it is provoked, it has no time to get benefits. Moreover, it has just been learned that the Wu Group is not a civilian group that only sells glass soap. , it also sells arms, maybe there will be some variables.

It seems that the Sunri Republic is in a stalemate now, but in fact it is not the case. Just continue to fight to the east, clear out the monsters there, recover more land, and get more resources.

Therefore, the next action of the Sunri Republic is also clear. It will restart the eastward recovery plan. It was suspended before because the weapons were not good. If you encounter the still-running Ten Thousand Demonic Pillars, you will have to pay a heavy price. But things are different now. The Nirvana Army's firepower has been greatly improved. I don't go near your shield of the Ten Thousand Demon Pillars to hit you. I hit you from a few kilometers away, but you can't do anything to me.

Taking advantage of the battle they had just fought with the Stephen Empire, the whole people were in excitement. Just half a month later, the newspaper of the Republic reported that the Nirvana Army would completely take back the human territory occupied by the Warcraft this time, giving everyone more More fields can be cultivated, more factories can be built, and better welfare can be provided to the people.

Monroe was very excited after receiving the news of the eastward advance: "We can finally attack! If we keep holding it in like this, everyone will be exhausted!"

Monroe is the commander of the Second Army, with three divisions under his command. He did not participate in the battle against Stephen's Imperial Army, but stayed here.

"Tell everyone, the show is about to begin!"

The entire Second Army, totaling 4 people, began to advance eastward, and soon encountered those mutated plants. Many of the Second Army were recruits who had never fought in the last eastward march. Seeing these disgusting plants, they couldn't help but feel disgusted and said: " What are these? Are we going to go through here?”

The person who answered was obviously a veteran.

"Of course not. It's too dangerous to walk through these plants. Our previous approach was to just... burn them!"

Since no oil has been discovered yet, the Nirvana Army does not have such a thing as a flamethrower, but they do have thermite! Aluminum ore has been found in the existing territory, but it is difficult to refine and the output is very low. This low-yield aluminum does not have much effect on other industries, and it is simply used to make weapons.

Once thermite gets on it, it can't be shaken off. If a person gets on it, its high temperature of more than 2000 degrees will melt the human bones. This temperature is two to three times higher than that of white phosphorus bombs!

Fortunately, in the whole world, thermite was first used by the enemies of mankind. Those mutant plants have evolved high temperature resistance. The temperature of several hundred degrees of ordinary flames will not cause fatal damage to them. Once they are When these plants are burned, they will immediately extinguish the flames by peeling off their outer skin or twisting them.

This is also the reason why the Nirvana Army switched to thermite. One of the mutant plants remained the same after being exposed to thermite. It first secreted water on its outer surface, but soon it discovered that the water seemed useless. One of its tentacles was very It was nearly burned out, then its other tentacles were ignited, and it began to writhe on the ground trying to extinguish the flames, but to no avail.

It began to shed its outer skin, but unfortunately it was too slow. Almost as soon as it was lifted, the thermite had burned through its outer skin, and its interior was also burned.

It is afraid of this terrible flame, which cannot be extinguished no matter what. It wants to avoid it as much as possible, and crazily stretches its body to the east, trying to stay away from these fires. The same goes for other mutant plants. At this time, Nirvana The army soldiers saw a spectacle. All the mutated plants were facing the same direction, very neatly.
