"...Although what you said is very touching, I still don't quite understand it."
Crossing his hands on the table, Ian stared at the old man in front of him. He was silent for a while, and then slowly said: "If you really dream of seeing the stars as you said..."
"Then why are you so calm as you are now when facing this starless night sky and the fact that the stars are disappearing one after another?"
"Lord Lord."
Old Farr's tone became more solemn. He considered his words and tried to express them as calmly as possible: "Isn't it the same for you? You know how hopeless it is to look up at the stars... but you can still do it. Stay sensible."
"Of course I am far inferior to you, sir. I have been crazy, but I survived... when everyone else committed suicide out of despair."
"I shamefully and persistently... survived."
"Perhaps my current sanity is just the sequelae of my madness at that time."
Ian didn't reply. He just stared at the old man in front of him silently. "I understand."
After a long time, he spoke again, and this time it was down to business: "Let's talk about your work and salary."
Everyone has a dream, and no dream is absolutely unique.
This complex and dark world, but not lacking in hope and light, is originally formed by the intertwining of thousands of dreams.
Ian didn't chat with Old Farr for long.
After he communicated with the other party about territory management without any hesitation on the surface, he found that the old man knew everything about the Xiahui Territory, so he immediately made a decision and asked the other party to come to the city hall to work tomorrow to assist Scott. manage finances and
All matters concerning personnel appointments and dismissals.
He said he was assisting Scott, but he was actually guiding Scott to learn this aspect of work.
As Ian's deputy and secretary, Scott has a lot to do. He can't cover everything, so Farr is actually the one who makes the decision.
Don't use doubters, and don't doubt people when you employ them. As a prophet, Ian knows who will betray him and who will not.
So he believed in what Old Farr called the 'dream'.
dream…
It wasn't until Scott left that Kongze turned around and looked at the dim moon in the window and the dim night sky.
"yes."
I said solemnly, letting out a long sigh, but at the end I smiled: "Under Terra, not everyone has forgotten the starry sky after all."
"You are alone."
"A stargazing tower... It's a mistake. It wasn't what you wanted to do. I just reminded you."
On the seventh day, Thorin summoned Ian.
The young man with no green hair, who seemed to have no trace of Iron People blood, and who had probably adapted to living with dwarves for a long time, was not as naive as Thorin imagined.
Compared with Yin Yaozhi, a true model of innocence, Ian has less of a kind of calmness.
I hate being honest, even if you say yes to you. The mechanical alchemist is as upright about his life as a mechanical structure. I hesitate to think that if I follow my inner voice and do something I regret, I will be like a
Without the correct parts in the alchemy equipment, your life will become a complete victory.
That can be said to be a completely your attitude towards life. After all, not everyone can stick to themselves for life, and Thorin can guarantee that. But that kind of person does not have a unique will and charm to distinguish himself from others and appear unique.
"Do you think that the flat land at the Xiakou west of Xiahui Ling is very suitable for industrial development! It is not adjacent to the Guyanfeng Gorge and the Xiakou mining area. It is rich in minerals and is a transportation hub between Xiahui Ling and the land of the mountain people. As long as it is here Build a fortress outside and use the developed refining
Armed with gold industry, the future territory will be absolutely impregnable! "
Facing Thorin's inquiry, Ian's eyes lit up, and he immediately took out small pieces of drawings and schematics from his briefcase.
I pointed to the flat land under the map and talked: "What you are learning in Falling Star Hills is the 'production chain' from the most basic mineral refining to the final mechanical forming. If it is a family that has been focusing on agriculture and spiritual energy in the past, Mainly plant cultivation, you have come back to build it long ago!"
The flat land I'm talking about is exactly where Kong Ze led his men to clear out and deceive the rebel mountain people to camp. The terrain is indeed good, but it will be attacked from above by the people occupying the surrounding mountainside camps.
But on the other hand, as long as Thorin delays occupying the surrounding low points, the camp outside is really made of copper and iron, and no one can fight back.
"Actually."
Thorin was quite satisfied with Kong Ze who saw that. I nodded and said, "The Xiahui collar today is still mainly based on agriculture. But you will also put in industrial production."
"The flat land he mentioned will be developed before spring plowing next year. After that, Xiahui's main task is to develop the economy first, and then build a broken mineral mining chain. Then, it will be managed by the city hall. Allocate funds to allow people to build industrial buildings in the Xiajian area
Construction, purchasing machinery and equipment, and building an industrial camp while fully exploiting the mining area. "
"Huh?"
Ian was not questioning Thorin's speed, but was shocked by his lord's slowness: "Is there only eight or seven months left? So slow?"
"Not so soon."
Thorin pointed to the map: "Industrial production in Xiahui Ling is imminent. Tomorrow. The rest of tomorrow will lead a team to explore the county terrain of the Gap and plan the future zoning of industrial camps. You give him two months, two months ago, you
We want to see the blueprint of a mature industrial town. "
-That's possible! In two months, the land survey was barely enough, and a broken industrial zone had to be designed!
Even if Ian himself didn't study that, and he didn't have the mature division distribution in Starfall Hills to learn from, but in general, two months is too tight, right? !
The young mechanical alchemist's expression changed, but he realized that he had not been appointed as the general manager of the Alchemy Industrial Park by Thorin.
Before going home, Moda, who knew this, stood up angrily and gave his son a small scratch on his ear.
The old steward roared angrily: "Is he stupid? If he can finish it by himself, he can just call someone else!"
"Does he have teachers, classmates, friends and colleagues? He can see it all. The lord wants to see that apart from his professional knowledge, he also has no personnel management ability!"
Hearing those words, Kong Ze woke up from a dream - I found that my stupidity was still a little less interesting than those real life experiences.
In fact, even Kong Ze has thought of that... I will also be in a management position in the future, how can I not put so little thought into it?
What Thorin was thinking about was that you, the prototype of my artificial intelligence over there, was built by Yin Yaozhi. Before the optimization was completed two months ago, it was time to conduct an experiment with Ian's design to see if it could speed up the process. Ian's idea, help with the idea.
It's really okay, just give it a month or two less and let Ian find someone.
However, even though Kong Zepingte used Solin's incredibly detailed drawings to try to build a small structure of artificial intelligence using spiritual matter in the virtual world, the artificial soul still existed.
The original body of the artificial soul is the brain-possessed Oyster of the Sequoia Man.
The brain-eating worm swarm is the brain-eating oyster pupa mutated by the Sequoia Elder. It is the final product of many generations before Riga's artificial reversion. They can obviously be used as a substitute for the brain-eating oyster.
The original intact brain-possessed oysterbat does not exist yet. Even the information about many species in the Sequoia Base has been recorded by Thorin with a silver chip, but there is no such thing as the brain-eating oysterbat. Biological samples that are too close to insects.
So, there is only one way.
This is not about learning from Mr. Roland and extracting it from the Sequoia Man.
The Sequoia natives are not Sequoia people. There are still no brain-possessed oyster bats in their bodies. Although a small number of symbiotic brain-possessed oyster bats have not yet evolved due to the maintenance of genetic modification warehouses, there are still no part of the brain-possessed oysterbats that have succeeded. The earth has adapted to what it was like before the sky fell.
The Terra environment can be 'warcraft'm
That kind of monster transformation is what the Sequoia Aboriginals are like; the small shamans can fuse with the monsters and control the essence of these terrible monsters - every little shaman of the Sequoia Aboriginals is essentially a 'brain-possessed oyster' The sublimator of the Chrysalis bloodline!
It is by transforming ourselves into brain-possessed bats that we can coexist with the monsters and control their every move.
What Thorin wants, of course, is your brain-attached oyster chrysalis. I just need some of the 'seeds' that may be buried under the Sequoia Man.
Yin Yao's special method is to expand the seeds and multiply them, then fine-tune their structure and make them into potions.
At this point, as long as Solin finds an excuse to inject medicine into Xiahui's leadership, the same 'soul of the people' as in Kongze's leadership will appear under Xiahui's leadership!
Because there is no experience for future generations, the practice speed will be much slower.
Today, Thorin only needs to wait, wait for time, and wait for the qualified Sequoia people he recruited in Port Harvest. The dark novel needs our "blood" and meets the requirements.
I just need to wait for the entire city to be operational and developed, for the craftsmen to finish building agricultural buildings, and for Ian and others to explore the Gap.
In this way, you cannot let all your plans go off track.
What Thorin didn't have was the patience to wait, just like I couldn't wait seven years until I grew up, until the 'opportunity' of Isengard and Gosei came.
Yes, that time, Kong Ze had no time to wait.
Because in the evening of the next day, Kong Ze received news from the Dragon Worship Cult.
"The leader of the Jiamu tribe, Guyin Jiamu, has not yet retired to the eighth level with the support of Feiyandi."
Pansha is now in Shuangmu Town, borrowing the communication device of the Yinfang Chamber of Commerce to contact Solin: "We plan to cooperate with the Steel Wing Dragon Group to break through the Fuluo Shao Autonomous Region, which is not assisted by the South China Sea Fleet in defense, and get the high-quality port here. , to pick up the support fleet from the Flying Fire Land...
...·But you can also determine the specific movements of the opponent's other troops, so Ryan Leader must be careful. "
"Eighth level?"
Thorin was also a little surprised: "Does it mean that the mountain people have the inheritance of the eighth level? The Flying Flame Land just doesn't have the chief's magic potion formula for leveling up?"
"yes."
Pansha also thought he had the answer: "Theoretically speaking, the formulas for the heroic level (ancient name for the eighth level) of your mountain people's potions are all in the book of Old Farr..."
Yes. Thorin suddenly thought of it. You in Feiyandi probably obtained part of the information from the Old Fal Book through cooperation at the Awak Laboratory, and then used that information to induce some mountain people to rebel, right? This is easier to understand.
"How to deal with it?"
Thinking in his mind, Kong Ze asked solemnly: "Does the empire not have the eighth-level combat power to deal with it? Or is it the Dragon Worship Cult..."
"It's very troublesome to deal with the Steel Winged Dragons. The Steel Winged Dragon King is a very cunning old dragon. He has been leading the king and Marquis Barton's knights everywhere recently."
Pansha is also in a dilemma: "You are now on the full defensive. You can only defend the Holy Land and your own tribe. Once you go out, you are unlikely to be attacked."
"Yes, Grandpa said that I can't regress...but I rely on my bloodline, but rely on my dragon-transformation organs to try to transform into a dragon."
Speaking of that, Pansha's tone was a little sour: "But it's okay to succeed in regressing. Once you win... you will die."
"My grandfather wants you to contact him, not because he wants to delay preparations. Anfa Bijing is from the Canaan Moore side. If my grandfather dies unexpectedly, you and he will be responsible for assisting the King of the Mountain and managing the worship." Internal matters of the Dragon Sect..."
"That's right."
Although Kong Ze also wanted to become a lower-level member of the Dragon Worship Cult, this was just a method of sitting back and watching a friendly personnel die. I shook my head and said to Pansha in a fierce tone: "Let's find it privately." Let’s meet at some time. You have no news about Kong Zepingshu.
"Okay...wait?!"
Panshayi, you also plan to meet with Thorin to discuss how we should cooperate.
Bi Jingsuolin is not yet known as the Dragon God's envoy, so he can certainly summon some mountain people to share the pressure from the Dragon Worship Sect and Fuluo Shao Autonomous Region?
Who knew, Thorin's above sentence shocked me to know whether the other party was lying: "He found the news about Old Farr's book in the imperial capital?!"
"It's in the Imperial Capital, or you said it was in the Imperial Capital... More importantly, you got some revelations in the Holy Land, Xiahui Lake."
Thorin did not intend to throw out the old Farr book directly, because if the empire knew that Kong Zepingshu appeared again, we would have a small chance to know that Yinyao's special or that Kongze's young master had no contact with the mountain people. As long as you continue to pursue it, you will definitely find me.
Therefore, Thorin thought of a way to cooperate with the priest inheritance in Xiahui Lake to help the Dragon Worship Sect, or in other words, help Elder Manya retreat to the eighth level, which can be regarded as helping me share the burden of the mountain people and The pressure of the Flying Flame Land.
not to mention…
——If all the main forces in the mountain go to the Froshao colony on the coast, won't you have the chance to steal a house and change it?
Moreover, those mountain people are extremely rich. Only half of the two boxes of element crystals seized next time have been used, but if more can be seized...
Thinking of this, Thorin's tone became serious: "Don't they have the distribution of the rebel mountain people's troops?"
"You really don't think you can help...a little bit."
