Lord, he is not a man [infrastructure]

The defected Slayer Demon Sect Saint Master brought a very important message.

Tumojiao has become the state religion of the Principality of Lanji, and the current leader is probably the Grand Duke of Lanji himself. This person is ambitious. He not only wants to remove the official name of the Principality of Lanji, but also wants to develop the Tumojiao into the world's largest religion. .

Tumojiao is currently fully supporting the aggression war of the Principality of Lanji, and the Principality of Luma is only the first step in the expansion of the Principality of Lanji.

And the Saint Master would defect for no other reason than to lose in the fight for the position of the leader, but he was not satisfied with the position of the current leader, and he was also dissatisfied with the fact that the other party associated the Tumo Cult with war and the country.Because of this dissatisfaction, the newly appointed leader wanted to kill him, so he could only run away.

In fact, the holy master fled to the Duke of Luma to tell Duke Luma about the joint cooperation between the Demon Sect and the Principality of Lanji, and wanted to use the power of Duke Luma to overthrow the current leader of Demon Slayer.

But the other party's luck is good or bad. He used demon magic while hunting, and was noticed by Gu Ding passing by.

Gu Ding had a fight with the opponent, but the opponent had never fought Gu Ding before, and became a prisoner of Gu Ding, and was fooled by Gu Ding to come to Bailuling.

This holy master is called Landa.

When Tang Bo saw Landa for the first time, he knew that this person belonged to the kind of inflexible and rigid person. After talking with him, this point became more clear.

The most important thing is that this person has no evil intentions, nor has he done anything evil.He would compete with the current leader of the Demon Slayer Sect for the position of leader only because they used to be saints, and they all had the qualifications to become leader, and Landa believed that he was more knowledgeable than other saints.He can't understand the current leader because the other party refuses to delve into magic knowledge, and wants to start a war for the benefit of his principality.

Yes, Landa has a lot of magic knowledge, and the magic circle map is easier to use than Tang Bo, and Landa is also a puppeteer, and the puppet effect is much better than the golden axe.

Since you can make golems, you can also make other things.

Tang Bo certainly didn't want to let go of such a talent.But how to make the other party stay willingly and use it for him?

Such a capable and talented person will be a guest of honor wherever he goes. As long as his identity is not revealed, there is no need to worry about the Lanji Principality and Tumojiao attacking him.

For such a holy master, only money can never impress the other party.

Tang Bo thought over and over again, and invited this holy master named Landa to accompany him.

When they arrived at the location, Landa ran over without waiting for his introduction, and asked in surprise, "What is this?"

Tang Bo took Landa to see the steam engine.

He started the research and development of the steam engine three years ago. At the beginning, it was stagnant for a long time due to the problems of steel, leather rings and other materials. Finally, among those materials, plants capable of producing rubber-like plants were found.

This plant is not a tree, but a grass.In the beginning, it was brought back by Gu Ding as herbal medicine.

The grass is called sticky grass by the local people, because this grass will constantly secrete a transparent sap, which will become sticky when exposed to the sun for a period of time.The local people would use this grass juice to glue wooden utensils, and later some people used it to glue wounds, and it is said that the effect is very good.

Tang Bo is also very interested in this sticky grass, and has done a lot of experiments. Later, he found that when the juice of this sticky grass is added to hot water and stirred, it will become a rubber-like gel after solidification, and there is no peculiar smell. smell, and non-toxic.

Tang Bo was overjoyed, and asked Gu Ding to collect a large amount of this sticky grass for him, and transplanted a lot of sticky grass seeds in Bailuling, and in the mountains and primeval forests of Hongshanling.

This kind of grass likes sunshine and fertile land, but also loves temperature. Barren land and hot and cold places can't grow at all.

But fortunately, the temperature in the mountains and primeval forests of the Red Mountain Territory is not too low, and Xiangyang is also good. After a large number of this sticky grass was sown, many stubborn grasses still took root and grew up in the local area.

With suitable materials, Tang Bo's steam engine research can finally be restarted.

Not only steam engines, but with grass glue, many things can be made.Including hoses, tires, balloons, gaskets, corks and more.

Bailuling has already made the glass, but Tang Bo didn't want to release too many products at once, so he suppressed it and didn't release it.But with glass and stainless steel, as well as rubber tubes and gaskets, needles, needles, and infusion tubes can be made, bringing Bailuling's medical technology to a higher level.

Up to now, four generations of steam engines have been developed, but Tang Bo is not satisfied with this. Since he has mastered the knowledge of the demons, he does not want to copy all the knowledge of the earth here. If there is more convenient and cleaner energy access way, why not?

He hopes to combine magic with the steam engine, and try not to use coal to heat the steam engine.

But in this territory, only he and Gu Ding have mastered the relevant magic knowledge, but they are too busy to settle down to do research.This time when Landa came over, Tang Bo was like a treasure, and he wanted to hand over the relevant research and development tasks to the other party.

Of course, if Landa is a guy who likes to fight for power, Tang Bo will not take him to see the steam engine.

Although Landa's personality is not pleasing, his magic knowledge is solid, and it can be seen from his speech that he is a person who can do practical things in a down-to-earth manner. That's why Tang Bo brought him to this secret research and development center.

"This is a steam engine, which can be used now. But I want to make it a magic steam engine."

The most obvious function of the steam engine is as an engine. Naturally, this research and development site also has small trains and laid rails.

Under the signal of Tang Bo, the R&D personnel here excitedly added charcoal to the steam engine to boil water, and made the connected carriages move with the clanging clang.

Landa's eyes widened. He saw the little train moving very slowly at first, and he thought it would be better to use animals to pull the cart.But when the little train runs faster and faster, the idea changes.

What's more, the R&D personnel also added another carriage to the steam engine, which was filled with stones, but the not-so-large nose once again drove the two carriages behind it with a bang.

The carriage has been added to five sections, but the steam engine head seems to be pulled easily.

"The carriages can be increased, but in that case, the steam engine will have to be bigger. Now this is only for experimentation." Tang Bo said.

"We are already developing the fifth generation to see if we can ensure the efficiency of the steam engine without taking up too much space." The person in charge said proudly and ostentatiously.

The person in charge of the research and development of the project is Heliu, a native of Bailu, who is extremely loyal to Tang Bo. He is young, only 23 years old this year, and he was the first batch of students selected and trained by Tang Bo.

Tang Bo found that he was the best in mathematics, physics and chemistry in all courses, and he understood related knowledge faster than other students, so he and several other students were individually proposed for professional training.

Although Tang Bo provided all the information on this steam engine, including the initial assembly of the steam engine by Tang Bo, Heliu took the lead in the subsequent improvement and development.

"You brought me here, what do you want me to do? Make it into a magic steam engine? What do you mean?" Landa wanted to touch the engine even though it was still hot.

Tang Bo stopped him, "Don't touch it. This thing will explode if it is not operated properly, and it will be very hot before the temperature drops. You have also seen that the energy used by this steam engine is a stone called coal, but this There are many problems with coal burning, first of all, coal needs to be added continuously, secondly, the smoke it emits is very bad for human health, and thirdly, it is dangerous.”

"So you want to exchange energy for magic power?" Landa understood now.

Tang Bo nodded, beckoned others to do their own work, and walked with Landa, saying, "Magic power is invisible and intangible, but it is as abundant in this world as the oxygen we breathe."

"oxygen?"

"It is the air that all living things need to breathe. There are many different components in the air. Oxygen is only a part of it, including magic energy. If you are interested in this, you can come to my school in Bailuling to join the class."

Landa found this statement very interesting. He used to only know how to use it, but he didn't know how to separate the magic energy from other qi. Now that he heard this statement, he suddenly had the urge to start studying the composition of air immediately.

Tang Bo continued: "Although the steam engine can already be used, in addition to burning a lot of coal to start it, it also needs to lay rails for it and the carriage it tow. If it is only laid within the scope of the White Hart Collar, then there is no problem. But if you want to spread the rails to other places, it will be very difficult. In other words, once you leave the White Hart Collar, the steam wagon will not be very useful.”

Landa looked at the double track that had been laid, and said clearly, "You want to get off the track?"

"Yes, I hope that the steam train can not only be separated from the energy source of coal, but also be able to fly away from the track. Do you think it can be done with the magic array?" Tang Bo asked.

Landa didn't answer right away, he was obviously thinking.

After a while, he said: "Constructing a magic array map also requires a lot of resources. I can assume that there are two types of magic array maps you want, one is for energy supply, and the other is for floating."

"Correct."

"If it's just powering for a short time and floating for a short time, that's fine. But you must want to power and float for a long time, and you can stop when you want, and fall when you want, right?"

"Yes."

"That will be more complicated. If you want to achieve long-term energy supply and floating, you must first supply a large amount of energy to these two functions. In addition, you must add control functions to the magic array. There must also be safety aspects. Is it right to think about it? For example, when you fall down, you should slow down, and when you stop, you should gradually slow down. When someone attacks, it is best to form a protective cover outside the vehicle."

Tang Bo smiled, and it was comfortable to talk to an expert, he didn't need to explain too much, the other party could figure it out by himself.

Landa talked more and more: "And is this magic map depicted on each carriage, or is the entire carriage taken as a whole? The front of the car is used as the carrier, and the others are just incidentals?"

Finally, Landa shook her head: "It's easy to think, but hard to do."

Tang Bo smiled: "But if we can overcome these difficulties, our magic steam trucks will be able to travel all over the world in the future. In addition to trucks, we can also take similar magic cars when we travel by ourselves. If we want to go anywhere, in the wild, this This kind of vehicle can be used as a house, isn’t it more convenient than carrying a tent with you? And it’s faster than chariots and horses when escaping, isn’t it?”

Randa was heartbroken.

Tang Bo pushed again: "If you can research the magic steam engine, you will be equivalent to creating a new usage of magic, and your name will be remembered by everyone. Even if the current Demon Slayer leader can conquer the Luma Principality, Even the entire Tonglei Nation, what is it compared to you?"

"Besides, if you can research the magic steam engine, think about how many soldiers, weapons, and food can be loaded in that truck. If the other party wants to start a war with my White Hart Collar, I, White Hart Collar, can also attack its center in turn. City. As long as the Principality of Lanji cannot take down the White Hart Collar, then the leader of Demon Slaughter will never be able to realize his ambition. And when he knows that you are the one who prevented him from realizing his ambition, how will he feel? He will definitely regret it , Regret, regret that he offended you, regret that he gave up such an outstanding talent as you."

The more Landa listened, the brighter her eyes became.

"Besides, Gu Ding and I can help you. We have no less magic knowledge than you. The three of us discussing together will only deepen our mutual knowledge of magic. Apart from the magic steam engine, I have more knowledge about the use of magic. Thoughts. By the way, let you see something."

Tang Bo took out his magic gun, found a random target, and started shooting continuously.

"Think about it, if I let the soldiers who took the magic car take this weapon to other countries..."

Landa's mouth was wide open, his jaw was about to drop, and he stuttered: "This, is this also magic?"

Tang Bo clearly saw that Landa was extremely greedy, so he put away the magic gun without touching him: "Yes, magic can be applied in all aspects, and weapons are just one of our countless ideas about the application of magic. Landa Da, do you want to create a magical country with us? Do you want to be famous forever? Do you want everyone in the world to know who you are and what you can do? Do you want your enemies to worship you only? "

Landa: "..."

Landa couldn't wait to join Bailuling, and signed an equal cooperation contract with Tang Bo.Tang Bo also added a special clause in the contract, asking him to promise to abide by all the laws and regulations of Bailuling. Landa didn't care about it at the time and agreed.

Tang Bo is also out of caution. Landa is equivalent to a nuclear weapon. It’s okay if this guy is fine. If he doesn’t like anyone in the White Deer Collar, wants to teach the other party a lesson, or wants to act recklessly, then the White Deer Collar is not enough He spoiled it.Therefore, compliance with the laws and regulations of White Hart Collar is a must!

Tang Bo also gave Landa a thick law book, telling him to memorize the rules.

Landa opened the book and almost regretted joining the White Hart Collar within a few pages, but Jiadu joined, he even signed the soul contract, what else can he violate?

With Landa's joining, the already fast-growing White Hart Collar has grown rapidly.

Tang Bo can get away from magic research and concentrate on the governance of the entire territory.And Gu Ding can also concentrate on developing the mercenary guild outside.

Tang Bo formed the White Deer Caravan as quickly as possible. He let the caravan take the White Deer Merchant Ship to the Royal Capital again, and he himself came to the Royal Capital in advance with the help of Gu Ding's space shuttle.

After arriving in the capital, Tang Bo first visited the Marquis of Thunder, and proposed to him that he wanted to open a large grocery store in the capital.

The Marquis of Thunder still felt that Tang Bo was making a big fuss at the beginning, so he ran to him for such a trivial matter, and opened a grocery store to find him, the general and Marquis, isn't it funny?

But he thought of Tang Bo's magic and didn't want to offend him, so he entertained him well.

As a result, before the banquet, when Tang Bo took out the products he said would be sold in the grocery store, the Marquis of Thunder changed his mind completely. He was very happy that Tang Bo came to him immediately.

Let's see what kind of "groceries" these are.

Soft and white toilet paper, this thing is so easy to use, the capital can consume as much as you want.

The Marquis of Thunder had seen toilet paper before and wasn't too surprised by it, but the ones in the back...

White, smooth and delicate paper that can be written on, exquisite notebooks, books full of neat and correct fonts, and books with exquisite patterns, and the patterns are also colorful!

There are charcoal pens sandwiched in wood, quills that can be dipped in ink for writing, brushes and brushes that can be used for drawing, etc.

If the impact of paper is not strong, then those crystal clear glass products that are shining under the lights and sunlight can definitely make everyone who sees them want to grab them home immediately.

Are things like this polished with gemstones?Why can it be so beautiful?

oh!They also saw mirrors.

What a magical item this is, it can clearly illuminate the appearance of people and the appearance of the surroundings, just like the magic of the demons.

There are many other items that the Duke of Thunder does not know and need to be introduced by Tang Bo one by one.

For example, there are various types of woodware with different functions, many of which are painted with very beautiful paint, and some have beautiful drawings. Among them, the wooden barrels and tubs that do not leak should be the most popular among the public.

There are also extremely exquisite pottery and porcelain, the porcelain is as beautiful as a treasure, and the Duke of Thunder firmly believes that no nobleman can resist its charm.

In addition, there are playing cards, glass marbles, and various chess games.

Beautiful leather armor that can show off your figure, leather bags of various shapes and patterns, leather bags for water, and very delicate and easy-to-use multi-functional belts. When Lei Ting saw this kind of belt, he immediately wanted to get one for himself.

There are also ceramic knives and ceramic skinning knives that are said to be fired.

"What is this?" The Marquis of Thunder picked up a small box curiously.

"This is soap." Tang Bo opened the box with a smile, "This is the kind of small thing I brought you as a gift this time. It is used to clean the body and clothes, etc. It has a very good decontamination effect and can prevent illness .”

"Really?" The Marquis of Thunder picked up the piece of soap with a belt in the middle and smelled it: "It has a faint fragrance, like the fragrance of green grass, and it smells very good."

Tang Bo asked his subordinates to show how to use it, and the Marquis Thunder himself curiously called his servants to try using the soap, and the effect made the Marquis very satisfied.

Of course the grocery store that sells these things will come to him!

"You said that you want me to help you find a store, borrow my name, and give me half of the store's profits in the future?" Thunder Marquis asked casually.

Tang Bo said with an enthusiastic but inattentive smile: "Yes. My White Deer Territory is just a small territory. I have no way to get the land that His Majesty rewarded me for the time being. I will probably focus on taking it back in the future. In that territory, if the business of the White Deer Caravan can borrow your name, I can rest assured. At least I don’t have to worry about being robbed right after opening, and I don’t have to worry about losing the goods on the way.”

The Marquis of Thunder is very satisfied. Even if he is not interested in business, he can know how much these so-called groceries can be sold for and how much profit they can make.

"Earl Tang was joking. You saved my life. What's the matter of borrowing a name, let's not mention the profit sharing." Marquis Thunder waved his hand, accepting the borrowing of the name.

But Tang Bo insisted: "I can't let you suffer. You still have to bother to help me find a shop, and you have to take care of it more in the future. The [-]% of the net profit is just my little care."

The Marquis of Thunder's smile became sincere, "Since you insist, I will take advantage of it."

"Don't dare."

Within a few days, a shop with a very large area appeared on the most prosperous commercial street in the capital.

This shop originally sold weapons, and it is said that the Marquis of Thunder is behind it.

But the weapons store, which had a good business, was closed, and changed to... Bailu Grocery Store?
