Chapter 828: Counter calculation

Aachen, the capital of the Duchy of Lorraine.

As the Vatican's technical personnel gradually withdrew, the nobles of Aachen soon suffered the consequences:

The factories were shut down with no one to repair them, and the corresponding electronic products were basically out of stock, with both production and consumption collapsing at the same time.

One nobleman said that the cell phone signal at his manor was bad, so he went to the church but no one was willing to take him there. The only people left in the church now were priests, who were only responsible for preaching and had no knowledge of technology at all.

Only then did the Frankish nobles in Aachen realize that the glory of God had penetrated so deeply into their lives that they could not live without it.

In a certain depressing atmosphere and undercurrent, these disappointments are gradually turning into anger against the Saxon royal family and even against Her Highness... Of course, given the power and reputation of the Indomitable Sword, no one has yet publicly come out to slander Her Highness the Princess, but they obviously can't tolerate it forever.

Ask has been staying in the Aachen Palace all this time and has never tried to go out.

Mao Zhongwei and others had looked for him several times, but they didn't talk about anything like the harem or the single female protagonist, they just had a pure casual chat.

Yu Ziwen, representing the Earth, has already negotiated a technology exchange agreement with the Saxony family.

The first stage of the agreement: The Saxony family provides advanced power armor manufacturing technology in exchange for assistance in the construction of basic technology projects on Earth.

In fact, according to Mr. Shao Qiangang's investigation, the technology tree here is extremely biased, and has the characteristics of a certain Soviet superpower in the 20th century:

The great nobles control heavy industry and military manufacturing, which are relatively developed and concentrated, but there is basically no part involving information integration, as if the technological ceiling has been artificially blocked.

At least that country has developed its own electronic tubes as a substitute, but Shinra chooses to purchase all parts involving integrated circuits from Italy. It is not known whether it has no intention or confidence to achieve self-production.

Most of the light industries related to people's livelihood were concentrated in the hands of small local nobles, and most of them were processing materials supplied by customers. Parts with a little technical content were directly exported from Italy, and the factories of local nobles were only responsible for assembly and sales.

Academician Shao Qiangang concluded that it was an obvious economic colony. The upper industrial chain was completely controlled by Italy, and by dividing the lower-level industries with low profits, the vast majority of the nobles of the Holy Roman Empire were firmly tied to the chariot of God.

However, even in the Shinra Empire, the technical content of the bulletproof materials and coating materials for military power armor they master is much higher than that of Earth. In this way, the technical strength of the Holy See must be so terrifying that it is likely to have completely exceeded the original estimate of Earth.

It's much more exaggerated than the description in the game "Song of Iron and Fire".

Therefore, after reaching a technical agreement with the Empire, Mao Zhongwei and others have essentially completed the initial goal assigned by the organization and can return to Earth to report... However, who is willing to leave now! We have not yet seen the glory and prosperity of the Solomon Church, the technological overlord of this era!
