The next day, Ning Wanjun's appearance and speech made the surging undercurrent in Jinxia City disappear without a trace in an instant.
No one with evil intentions would dare to act rashly under the rule of Princess Quang Binh, who was at the height of her power. It was not only the Secretariat that was wary of them, but countless people were also natural sentinels.
And when Her Royal Highness the Princess mentioned that the Xu and Gao Kingdoms were taking the opportunity to invade Shangyuan City, and that Jinxia City decided to send troops to defend the enemy and regain all the territory of Qi Kingdom, the people even burst into enthusiastic applause.
It’s not that Jinxia residents care about the world, it’s just that after they are satisfied with food, clothing, housing and transportation, people will spontaneously start to seek other points of interest to make their lives richer. Shenjin Weekly gives ordinary people who rarely leave the city an opportunity to understand the situation in the outside world. Since you are living well, it is only natural to support your fellow citizens who are still struggling in the war.
After all, the school also emphasizes that we are all brothers within the world. Even children often talk about internal liberation and external defense against powerful enemies, and adults will naturally be affected.
Some of the applauders are people with interests.
Nowadays, among the many jobs in Jinxia City, which one has the best pay and the highest status, it is definitely the soldier.
The supreme commander of the army is the princess. Being a soldier is equivalent to working directly for the princess. If you say it, it will be a flattering thing. What's more, Jin Xia's army is not like the Shenzhou garrison in the past. The generals can punish and insult their soldiers arbitrarily. With the propaganda department's propaganda, everyone now knows that this is a team that puts discipline above everything else. What you can and cannot do is clearly stated before you join the army. Even an ordinary soldier has channels to report and appeal to generals who violate discipline.
The most important thing is that the military's salary is absolutely top-notch.
Its average salary is not high, but there are many various rewards. For first-class merit and second-class merit, the rewards are real houses and money. If someone unfortunately dies, no one will be left behind in pension and follow-up care. For example, Xu Wa, reported by Shenjin Weekly, was originally the eldest son of a farmer in Baihe City. Because of his repeated meritorious service in the battle against the Ten Prefectures Allied Forces, he not only received the second-class merit medal from Her Royal Highness the Princess, but his family also moved into Jinxia City from the outskirts of Baihe City. , owns a large and spacious house.
These deeds led to a very high enthusiasm for joining the army in Shenzhou after the war, especially among those immigrants who had little foundation and were unfamiliar with the place. They all expected to make a career in the army and become Jinxia. the propertied class.
Now that foreign enemies have invaded Qi State, a new war is about to begin, and starting a war means meritorious service and countless opportunities. Those who have joined the army in their families will naturally fully support the decision of Her Royal Highness the Princess.
After the speech, tens of thousands of letters were sent from Jinxia like a tide and sent to various parts of Qiguo through various channels. Among them are letters of comfort from Jinxia Postal Logistics, as well as secret messages entrusted to traveling merchants. Although the contents of the letters were very different, they all conveyed the same message - Jinxia City, which had been silent for three months after the Shenzhou War, was finally going to take action again.
At the same time, Xia Fan was called to the mechanism bureau by Mo Yun.
"While you were away, I tried to develop a new machine beast."
"Really?" He suddenly became interested, "Let me have a look."
When he met Noah, Xia Fan was already impressed by the new weapon on the tree boat - it was also an electromagnetic weapon. Unexpectedly, Mo Yun actually used the trunks of spiritual branches to create explosive ammunition. Its principle is not too complicated, and the series connection of multiple magic weapons is not Mo Yun's patent, but the large-scale production of several magic weapons and making them into projection-type consumables is definitely her first achievement.
In other words, the significance of expanding the production capacity of magic weapons is more important than the shells themselves.
Previously, magic weapons could not be mass-produced because the runes could not be printed or machine-engraved, and had to be carved stroke by stroke by the maker. Because people have different ideas, it is difficult to form a unified standard, which also makes the performance of magical instruments vary greatly, and some similar magical instruments even have different driving methods. For example, one of the highlights of the Rare Objects Appreciation Fair is to rate the magical artifacts made by famous masters, using grades one to nine to distinguish the quality of the artifacts.
If it is only for personal use, the difference between the first and ninth grades is not insurmountable, but when integrated into a system that requires as much precision as possible, the problem becomes bigger. It is also a damage-type artillery shell. It takes a long time to explode after being discharged from the chamber, but explodes instantly after being discharged from the chamber. This obviously cannot be used as a weapon. Through standardized teaching, Mo Yun allowed the apprentices of the Machine Building Bureau to achieve a high degree of consistency in terms of principles, dimensions, and how to express the techniques. Although there are differences in the magical instruments produced in this way, they can generally meet the needs of a system.
This also allowed Xia Fan to confirm that people's thoughts cannot be completely consistent, but they can be made up for through acquired cultivation. What unifies is not personal temperament, but the understanding of the world. The more detailed and realistic the description of the world, the more likely people are to agree on what they think.
Following Mo Yun into the testing site, Xia Fan couldn't help but be slightly startled when he saw the prototype machine placed in the center of the site.
"This machine beast takes a completely different path from Xuanwu," the former introduced. "The more I know about Xuanwu, the more I find its limits. Although bipedal anthropomorphic animals can climb over mountains, they are not suitable for it. Long Journey—During the battle with the Privy Council, I found that more than 70% of the losses of the machine beasts were caused by wear or failure of their own structures. I think there should be a new kind of machine beast between the rear camp and the frontline battlefield. Come and take on the responsibility of transporting Xuanwu."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly noticed something strange about Xia Fan and couldn't help but raise her brows, "What's wrong? Do you think this trial product is not sophisticated enough? Indeed, in terms of structure, it is no different from an ordinary carriage, but if it is really made, There are still many differences…”
"No, you misunderstood." Xia Fan couldn't help laughing, "My idea is that this thing will change the whole world."
"Change... the world?" Mo Yun was still a little unconvinced in his words, but now he became cautious, "Mr. That’s how—”
"No, I'm telling the truth." Xia Fan looked at the other person and said in the most serious tone, "This thing will be far more famous than Xuanwu in the future, and your name will be spread for thousands of years because of its appearance."
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Mo Yun suddenly looked away and said in a lower voice, "You make it sound like you can predict the future."
"It's not that I know the art of hexagrams, but this thing deserves this praise."
Because the new machine beast she invented is a machine car.
