Chapter 140: The Sand Clan Appears At the beginning of March 3043, a month after the end of the tragic Winter War, although the army in the Northwest was still in a state of combat readiness, there was not a single battle for a whole month to make people believe that peace had returned to the Northwest again, but the decision on how long this peaceful life could last was not within the control of human beings, which made every Northwest person feel unpleasant when he thought about it.
The Northwest Regions ushered in a special team, this team of fifty alchemists and officials will serve as a technical support team, guiding the logistics department of the Northwest Legion to build a railway with a total length of more than 2,000 kilometers connecting the inner region, this decision was made by the Supreme Council last year, the funds of this railway are shared by the Northwest Army and the Supreme Council, according to the plan will be opened to traffic in a year, the completion of the railway can ensure that the Supreme Council can provide rapid support to the beast blood fortress except for winter.
As for the specific plan to deal with the natural disasters caused by the orcs, the Supreme Council is still working on it.
Fifty alchemists and officials are all elites selected from Zhao Yannian's territory, and now Zhao Yannian's territory has formed a complete set of training and teaching system after the construction of the industrial zone has been completed, and a large number of kingdom officials and alchemists are sent here for internships every year, and what makes Zhao Yannian most pleased is that the age of the interns has a tendency to get younger and younger, and there are a large number of young alchemists who are no more than sixteen years old among the latest batch of alchemists sent in March.
Zhao Yannian doesn't attach much importance to the level of alchemists, he values the plasticity of young people's thinking, and teenagers without rigid thinking can easily establish a scientific and rigorous world view for them, so that they can easily establish a complete discipline system in their future research work.
Zhao Yannian does not intend to take out the knowledge system that has been formed on the earth and teach his students directly, in his opinion, his enlightenment work on this world has basically ended, and the alchemists who have learned to scientifically summarize will soon be able to create a scientific and technological civilization that belongs to this world, and at this time, there is no need for him to take out the knowledge that has not been proven in this world to pull out the seedlings and even mislead them, as long as he ensures that their path will not deviate, Then the world will be very different in a few decades.
Of course, in the current situation where human orcs are incompatible, it is impossible for Zhao Yannian to be idle, the Supreme Council has been conducting various arguments every day for the past month and a half, although it is said that it is the task of all mankind to eliminate orcs, but human beings have never been a race with a great selfless spirit, all kinds of open and secret battles about interests and only about interests are constantly staged every day, and what Zhao Yannian needs to do every day now is when the forces of the inner and outer regions are deadlocked, Find a new way for them to find a solution that does not harm the interests of both parties at the same time.
"You can ask for supplies, but my warriors can't fight in such cold places."
The Flame Worshipping Duke of Adela opposed Prince Abel's proposed rotational training plan, but his controversy did not provoke a violent reaction from the Inner Regions faction.
"Duke Adra, we can understand your concerns, but haven't we decided to equip your warriors with more warm clothing?"
Prince Abel persuaded the Duke of Adela with some reluctance.
"My people have never had a piece of cloth around them when they fought."
The Duke of Adela blew his beard and glared at Prince Abel for a long time before replying, and his answer caused a good-natured laugh from the Supreme Council.
The Duke of Adra, who realized that he had made a fool of himself, sat back in his seat a little stupidly, while Zhao Yannian carefully looked at the supreme councillor who had almost never put forward any useful opinions in the Supreme Council.
This duke with a thick beard has brown skin that is different from the humans of the Longmian Continent, which is not exposed to the sun like the crew of Qianfan Island, but is a natural racial characteristic, between the fire worship and the human kingdom is separated by the vast Longmian Desert, this legendary place where the seven evil dragons fell is not only extremely hot during the day, but also does not cool down at night, and the desert can almost be said to be a forbidden area for creatures, Even the vast Marañon River was completely evaporated by the temperature that came from nowhere, and finally dissipated into the hell-like desert.
The fire worshippers who were divided by the Longmian Desert had a different evolutionary route from the orthodox humans on the mainland.
According to the division of those magicians who like miscellaneous studies, the fire worshippers belong to the same subspecies of humans as the barbarians, they evolved dark skin in order to adapt to the blazing sun of the fire worshippers, and worship the fire element like elves, and due to the lack of communication with the orthodox human world, they formed their own language and even religious system, but after the establishment of the human kingdom, the situation has been greatly improved, and the fire worshippers eventually became the outer territory of the human kingdom with the efforts of the sages, However, their internal system of rule has not changed.
It is precisely because of this that the Duke, who is known as the Grand Leader in the Flame Worship, has always behaved somewhat out of place with the other members of the Supreme Council, and only the Duke of Constance, who is also isolated on the island of Thousand Sails outside the mainland, has some common language with him.
Just when Zhao Yannian was observing Duke Adra, the Supreme Council finally completed the vote on the training plan, with five votes in favor, seven votes against and one abstention, which naturally could not be passed.
Then the Supreme Council moved on to the next agenda item, the opening of the civilian airship.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have already read the information I sent to you before, I think you have a general understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of the construction of civilian airships, if you have any questions, please raise them now, this will help you to understand the meaning of this proposal."
After Zhao Yannian stepped onto the podium, he did not enter the topic politely.
"Count Rodnik, I wonder why you want to build those airships with weak defenses, and even sell the energy hedron you just developed to ordinary merchants."
The first person to ask Zhao Yannian a question was His Majesty Edward, and he couldn't figure out what this man with a genius brain was thinking about Zhao Yannian's sudden proposal.
"Your Majesty, I think I told you a long time ago that the most powerful force of industrialization lies in the mass production of the same product, do you remember?"
After Zhao Yannian saluted Edward, he asked a seemingly unrelated question.
"You did say that, and after industrialization, our workers were really much more efficient."
Edward nodded affirmatively.
"Then what I want to say now is, Your Majesty, there is still a huge difference between the industrial base we are building now and the industrialization of my dreams, and the root of this difference is that the proportion of our industrialization is still too small compared to the whole of mankind."
Zhao Yannian sighed and said helplessly.
"Isn't thirteen bases enough?"
Edward was obviously frightened by Zhao Yannian's words, you must know that the expenditure on building thirteen industrial bases has caused the Supreme Council to bleed, and the weapons and equipment produced are only consumed but not generated.
"Your Majesty, thirteen bases are enough as seeds for human industry, but if the seed does not blossom and bear fruit, then they can only be one seed forever, what I want to say is that if we want to expand the air force quickly, then opening up the construction of private airships is the best way, to be honest, some of the technologies on the airships are not worth secrecy, and the energy crystals we have recently created are not enough to use as weapons, but if we transfer these technologies that are useless to us to those merchants, Then those mercenary merchants will do everything possible to improve the technology to increase production and squeeze costs, so that we can get more materials from those merchants through procurement, and then speed up the construction of the air force, and in the future, if the orcs use the snow disaster again, a large number of civilian airships can also be requisitioned to become an important means of transportation.
After Zhao Yannian finished speaking, he glanced at the members of the Supreme Council, and everyone showed the same expression after hearing Zhao Yannian's words, but just as Edward was about to announce the start of voting, an officer in the palace suddenly broke in with a letter.
"Duke Adela, just now there is news from the Flame Lords that a large number of Sands are attacking Medes City, and Soul Eaters have also appeared in the Sands' army."
The officer handed the letter to the Duke of Adra, and the other councilors gave the bearded Duke inquiring glances.
"Your Majesty, I ask for the support of the executioners."
After reading the letter, Adela handed it to the magician in charge of the projection, and under the magician's projection, the number of Sand people on the letter changed the expressions of all the Supreme Councillors.
"Sands, dark elves, orcs, are these guys crazy?"
Edward said angrily as he looked at the casualty figures.
Worship the fire leader, Midi City is an ancient city near the Longmian Desert, this city is said to be the first saint of the fire worship clan, it was once very prosperous two thousand years ago, but later because of the rise of the sand tribe in the Longmian Desert, the Midi city gradually declined into a small city in the territory of the fire worship.
And now this small city has been completely removed from this world, hundreds of thousands of lizard-like creatures are devouring human corpses, and the whole city is only the never-ending sound of wind and sand in addition to the swallowing sound of these lizardmen.
A lizardman with a flute around his neck was standing high above the ground scrambling for food.
