At present, the role of Xiaotao is great or small. In addition to building necessary facilities, the forest land taken back from some nobles has been planted with her improved peach tree species. Although the peaches grown are not of high grade, they are If it is too delicious, you can sell it for the value of gold soul coins, or give it to your own people as welfare, which can be regarded as providing a lot of income to Xingdou Town.
In addition, it is to let Lin Sen untie his knot. Although the Peach Blossom Demon cannot come back, he now has a granddaughter, which can be regarded as comfort.
Taking Xiao Tao with them, the three of them went to Qin Menglan's laboratory together.
Leng Xiyue originally planned to let Qin Menglan sleep in her room. After all, the child had a pitiful background, so it would be better to coax her to sleep every night to give her a sense of security.
However, since she started researching soul guides, Qin Menglan has never been back. She does research in the basement every day. When she is sleepy, she sleeps in this cabin. A few meals are delivered to the cabin by the servants of the Governor's Mansion. Looks like a dead house.
The three of them came to the door of the wooden house, and Leng Xiyue knocked on the door.
"Come on, come on." A sound of footsteps came from far away. Qin Menglan, who was wearing pajamas, opened the door. But when she saw the man Xue Qinghe, she quickly closed the door again, changed into formal clothes, and then opened the door to let everyone in. .
"Sister Xiyue, why didn't you tell me that a guest was coming today?" Qin Menglan couldn't help but feel a little shy as she looked at the mess in her room.
There are all kinds of books everywhere on books, tables, and sofas. Even if they are not on the bookshelf, there are also miscellaneous metal parts and some gadgets with unknown uses.
Other than that, the house was clean...and tidy. Leng Xiyue was used to her habit of throwing things around wherever she thought, but now that she had Xue Qinghe as a guest, it would be very embarrassing. .
Of course Qian Renxue would not say anything more, she just smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, most of the geniuses in this world are like this. I'm more looking forward to seeing something surprising next."
After a simple breakfast, the group of people prepared to go to the laboratory to take a look. Leng Xiyue moved a few mechanisms with ease, and an underground passage slowly opened.
"Underneath this is our laboratory. Sister Xiyue and I spend most of our time here conducting research, and now we have achieved quite a lot of results..." Speaking of this, Qin Menglan looked at Leng hesitantly. Xiyue, here is their most advanced technological output. Before I have time to put it away, is it really okay to show it to Xue Qinghe, the Crown Prince of Tiandou?
Leng Xiyue said with a smile: "It's okay. I have a very good relationship with the prince. It's okay to show him. After all, there are many things that can be sold here."
"Oh." Qin Menglan nodded and said no more.
This basement is not just a room. It is actually quite large, almost as big as a parking lot. After all, there are many kinds of things studied and it is impossible to put them all together. Many things originally occupy a relatively large area.
As soon as she came down, Qian Renxue saw a row of cars with four wheels and made of steel.
It's not strange to see something like this. After all, high-end carriages also have four wheels, but... they are all made of steel, with different types and sizes. Even if they are pulled by soul beasts, they will not Soon?
In addition, there is a giant steel beast, which is more than three meters tall. There is a long pipe on it. It looks very majestic, but I don’t know what it is used for.
Next to these steel cars, there was an extremely sophisticated device that looked extremely complicated, as well as a pile of transparent liquid in transparent plastic barrels. Qian Renxue had a vague feeling that it contained soul power, but this What the device was used for, she had no idea.
Seeing that Qian Renxue was a little confused, Qin Menglan introduced: "This is our most important product at present - the soul power engine. We have improved the conversion device of the current pseudo-soul guide so that it can convert soul power into high-power The concentrated liquid is stored in these special containers so that it will not be lost for several years and can be used as fuel."
As he spoke, Qin Menglan pointed at the surrounding vehicles: "Therefore, these vehicles equipped with soul power engines no longer need animals to pull the carts. They can be pulled by just adding enough fuel."
It runs straight and the speed is very impressive. In order to meet the needs of different functions, we have also prepared engines with different powers. "
"However, these fuels can only be purchased at our Star Dream Chamber of Commerce. We will open a factory here in Star Dou Town, install dozens or hundreds of soul power conversion devices, and then recruit those souls whose talents are not ideal or who are life-like souls. The master invests all his soul power that he doesn't usually use here, and it is also a way to make extra money for these people."
"Once we have sufficient reserves, these civilian vehicles will be sold to all parts of the world, thereby continuously drawing money."
Qian Renxue feels very magical. There are currently many soul guides in Douluo Continent, but their functionality is too low and can only be used for entertainment. The thing in front of her is undoubtedly a cross-era design. The most basic one is agriculture. And transportation efficiency is greatly improved, and only ordinary people can carry out transportation.
In contrast, many positions that could only be filled by soul masters will disappear, such as taming soul beast mounts. This is undoubtedly a major impact on the traditional soul master industry.
Is this the soul guidance system? As expected.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but think highly of the ordinary-looking little girl in front of her. Sure enough, there was no ordinary person who could be invited by Leng Xiyue as her companion.
"So, what is that steel monster? I guess it is for civilian use..." Qian Renxue looked at the extremely thick-looking steel monster and couldn't help but be very curious.
The armor is extremely thick at first glance. Not to mention the crossbow, Leng Xiyue's firearms are probably not able to penetrate it. It's probably useless to attack with all his strength. The defense is at least as good as the Soul Emperor.
A vehicle that can continuously produce has the defense power of the Soul Emperor level. Regardless of whether it can attack or not, this is extremely terrifying. If it can still attack... it will undoubtedly become the god of death on the battlefield, below the Soul Emperor level. They kill at will, and when the number increases, it becomes even more terrifying.
And if it is used to maintain rule, I am afraid that one such machine and a few people will be enough for a town or a smaller city.
Qin Menglan glanced at Leng Xiyue hesitantly, saw Leng Xiyue nodded, and then said: "Yes, that is our most advanced product at present. The configuration at the beginning of development was based on the specifications for dealing with the soul emperor level. , in addition to the defense power reaching the top defense Soul Emperor, the attack power can also pose a threat to ordinary Soul Emperors, and if it is equipped with special ammunition, it can also cause extremely considerable damage to Soul Saints or dense crowds."
This steel monster is naturally the tank developed by Leng Xiyue during this period. It is based on the style of the Tiger King in the late World War II, but most of them have been magically modified. For example, the soul power engine was changed to the spirit of ***. Only she could make the "spiritual fuel" to start the engine. The transmission device was polished inch by inch by Qin Menglan using the soul guidance system. It took nearly half a year and the help of the forge to create it.
After the magic modification, the speed is quite fast, and the off-road performance is extremely strong. Most of them are forged from special alloys that are smelted from high-grade metals after many experiments in the forge. The armor strength is greatly improved, and the overall weight is higher than It was originally much lighter, but it had no shortcomings at all.
Considering the protection of the crew and possible close combat scenarios, the size of the tank was expanded by more than one circle, and several machine guns were installed around it. As a result, the dead spots were very small, and the entire body could be fully In sealed and close situations, soul guidance radar can be used to instantly obtain the enemy's location.
The loading system and other aspects have also become fully automatic. In extreme cases, two people are enough. However, to maintain the best combat effectiveness, it is best to have four to six people, who can operate the machine gun and observe the environment to share the driver's pressure. In the future, when more soul guidance equipment is available, these redundant personnel can also be eliminated, such as automatically detecting targets and shooting.
The other parts of soul guidance technology actually don't have much technological content. Qin Menglan should barely be able to be classified into the category of second-level soul guidance now. Considering that the peak of the second generation soul guidance device can already create super combat mechas as high as Gundam. , this kind of energy conversion array that can only drive dozens of tons of steel forward seems to be nothing. After all, there is no need to jump or take off.
In addition, Qin Menglan has the support of black technology such as the forge and the Moyue Carving Knife.
Putting it in Douluo II, it is also a protagonist configuration.
In the future, if you improve it a little more and add some black technology such as defensive stance, it will probably be even more outrageous.
Of course, the cost of building such a heaven-defying tank is also very impressive. It costs a full 300,000 gold soul coins, and it cannot be made without a forge. The alloy is a big problem. At present, it can only be used as a big toy for Leng Xiyue. .
But considering its combat power, it's not very expensive.
"In addition, we also have many vehicles with higher mobility, but their power is not so impressive. Most of them are equipped with general-purpose machine guns, which are used for fire suppression and response to cavalry charges, but they are still in the laboratory stage. , only after the soul guidance technology is completely perfected can we build a factory and let the factory assemble it for mass production." Qin Menglan scratched her head, feeling a little embarrassed.
These things are not difficult. They are all basic devices, but they are very troublesome. They need to write chips with corresponding functions. At present, her focus is still on the research of auxiliary equipment, such as night vision devices, or agriculture. Something to transform the existing pseudo soul guidance device into a real soul guidance device.
What's more, industrial chips are not something that can be obtained in a short while. At least she has to wait until she becomes a fourth-level soul engineer before she can be sure. The current soul power level and mental power level are very different.
Qian Renxue didn't know much about the power of the artillery on the steel behemoth, but she was very familiar with the machine gun. There were currently two positions in front of the castle of the Governor's Mansion. Although they had not fired, but based on the size and staffing, It is definitely much stronger than ordinary firearms.
It would be great to be able to fight guerrillas as a new era cavalry.
In addition to tanks and armored vehicles, there are also some trucks for transporting personnel and supplies. Several hundred of these have been produced so far. Driving courses have also been arranged for the Guards early. Only a few dozen ordinary armored vehicles have been built. This tank Of course, Leng Xiyue wanted to keep it for herself and take it away. It was of no use leaving only one for them. It was better to use it as a cool transportation vehicle for herself.
After looking at the vehicles, a few people went to look at the weapons and equipment. At present, light weapons have developed to the modern level. Individual weapons have already had a special version of the AK12 as the finale, and hundreds of them have been produced, as well as a large number of special bullets. These weapons will be handed over to Lin Sen to equip the soldiers before she leaves, as well as some supporting grenades and the like. They are all small gadgets that do not occupy much production capacity. As for modern machine guns... this is a bit beyond her imagination. Got it.
Most of the production capacity in these eight months has been used to manufacture vehicles, bullets, soul guidance chips and energy transmission arrays. However, this has also reached the technological limit in Leng Xiyue's perception. She wants to climb up the technology tree. , the nearest way is of course to complete that task. No matter which hero the clone team evolves from, it will be of great benefit to the subsequent development.
In addition to weapons, there are some semi-finished gadgets, such as drones and the like. These are pure soul guidance devices. Currently, Qin Menglan only has one person. Just researching is already tiring. Where can I find more? Time for workers to mass-produce these things.
The production of real soul tools using forges is very costly, and the investment and benefits are completely out of proportion. If you want to mass-produce them, you can only collect more people with soul-guiding knives and organize a group of real soul guides. The soul master comes to mass-produce soul guides.
After walking out of the basement, Qian Renxue only felt that her knowledge had been subverted. Leng Xiyue actually did not think that Wuhun City was unable to manufacture these things, and also gave corresponding value references, such as the magic modification machine. The Tiger King only costs 300,000 yuan to build yourself, but if you let top craftsmen do it, the cost will be about 500,000 to 600,000 yuan. No matter how low the output is, it is still 10 or 8 units a year, which is quite good. Therefore, the combat effectiveness of the corresponding number of Soul Saints was directly increased.
Especially when the snowball starts rolling, with a hundred units gathered together, the firepower intensive, and the protection of elite soul masters at close range, they are simply invincible, killing people like mowing grass.
You know, Leng Xiyue can make these things now, but what about in the future? Can a few high-level Titled Douluo-level Iron Men like Kaldaris be produced?
In any case, this matter is still relatively far away, and Qian Renxue also has more important things to do.
After lunch
Afterwards, Qian Renxue returned to Tiandou City with her royal guards and team of craftsmen, pulling several large carts of local specialties prepared by Leng Xiyue.
As for Leng Xiyue, it was time to say goodbye.
"Mr. Lin, it's time for us to leave. I'll leave Xingdou Town to you." At the dinner, a group of people gathered together. Leng Xiyue was quite reluctant to leave. After all, every day, I could see this town becoming better than yesterday. It is also a sense of accomplishment.
"Don't worry, Xiyue, the situation here has stabilized now, and your latest weapons and equipment are even more powerful. At least ordinary people will never dare to provoke us at will." Lin Sen was quite confident about this, patting Chest assured.
"That's good."
Leng Xiyue nodded, feeling very relieved about Mr. Lin. Before leaving, she hoped to leave a few more barrels of Blue Silver Emperor's life energy as nourishment for Xiao Tao. With Xiao Tao's current strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to use it for a few years. big.
After everything was explained, Leng Xiyue asked Oscar, who had been practicing weapons and driving this year, to drive out his big baby, taking Tianmeng, Xuanwu, Oscar, Qin Menglan, and more than a hundred others with him. The people from the evil forces who came to Xingdou Town to cause trouble in a month were used by Tianmeng to make puppets. They also replenished their manpower and found two trucks to load them up and head to Soto City.
Including the original 200 people in Soto City, their puppet army has reached more than 300 people at this time. There will definitely be no problem in replacing the many underground evil forces in Soto City and becoming the emperor.
As the convoy gradually moved away, the eight-month forest journey finally came to an end.
