In the past two years in Prandal, Tang En had been pursuing one goal, which was to use the convenience of magic to push the industrial development as high as possible.
And the industrial development was absolutely inseparable from the support of various resources.
Previously, he had been planning for the mining industry, beating up the landlords and distributing the land. He was beating up the nobles and taking over the land. He had overthrown all the traditional nobles in the Irus Empire. Then, he had put on the crown and became the head of the landlords. He had taken over all the land and minerals in the Irus Empire.
Now, he had enough resources and power. The Datang Chamber of Commerce had embarked on a high-speed road and was developing faster and faster. Now, the Ellington Steel Mill was almost working in three shifts. Every day, there were thirty-six quarters (see Chapter 638 for gnomes and goblins). Now, they had begun to plan to build bigger and newer steel mills in other mining cities.
One of them was Taris.
Although Taris was rich in Mithril, the so-called "rich" of magic metals was very small. Most of them were ordinary metals.
Therefore, when Duke Taris heard that the steel mill could provide tens of thousands of jobs and at the same time drive the development of hundreds of millions of upstream and downstream economic industrial chains, he immediately agreed with Tang En's plan to build a large-scale steel mill in Taris. He had the manpower and land. He almost knelt down and begged Tang En to start the construction. Unfortunately, not long after the plan was negotiated, Ellington's main construction force was all sent to the Ryan Empire to build New Bul-Kathos.
After New Bul-Kathos was built, the construction team would be divided into two groups. One group would stay in the ruins of New Bul-Kathos to build the steel mill, and the other group would come to Taris to build the steel mill. While the two large-scale steel mills were being built, Tang En also needed Aurelia to promulgate policies to encourage the residents to plant gray thistle and silver threaded flower in large quantities. The Datang Chamber of Commerce would buy all of them, which opened up a wide range of opportunities for the residents of the Irus Empire to earn a wide range of income.
After all, the production of universal alloy was inseparable from gray thistle and silver threaded flower. The higher the production, the greater the consumption of these two herbs. Now, Ellington had consumed 90% of the production of these two herbs in the entire Irus Empire. He had to import a large number of these two herbs from the chambers of commerce in the Ronitante, Solant, and Gris kingdoms. This had also led to the recent rise in the price of gray thistle and silver threaded flower.
As long as the production of ores and herbs could be increased, the two large-scale steel mills would be able to meet the current needs of industrial development. In the short term, Tang En would not be short of universal alloy.
Although the underground world was rich in all kinds of mineral resources, the problem was that the space in the underground world was confined. Steel production, which consumed a lot of oxygen and emitted a lot of waste gas, was not suitable for the underground world. Therefore, the underground world was only used as a raw material export terminal, and the development of related industries was not considered.
In the past two years, Tang En had been painstakingly calculating the mineral resources industry. Now, he finally had a rich report. The emergence of universal alloy had changed the basic composition of Prandal's materials. The emergence of artificial soul and demonophile metal would completely change the future direction of Prandal's development. All of these were based on Tang En's large and rich mineral resources.
After hearing the good news from Tang En, Estisa said quite happily, "If we can really provide a large amount of demonophile metal, I can assure you that the performance of artificial soul will make a qualitative leap."
Tang En was of course happy to see this kind of assurance. At this time, Nokia spoke again and pulled the topic back, "If Ms. Estisa can ensure that the performance of artificial soul is improved again, then using demonophile metal to build tanks will be the best choice."
Based on the current industrial level of Prandal, the tank's structure was too complicated. However, Nokia and Klotto had studied the Pygmy Steam Tank with a more complicated structure. For Tang En's modified and simplified version of the tank, there was no pressure.
After studying the tank design plan provided by Tang En for a while, they not only put forward their own ideas and opinions, but also made professional modifications on the basis of Tang En's design plan to make the design more reasonable and more localized. The originally complicated design could be simplified and simplified with the artificial soul as the core.
To put it bluntly, the modified tank was actually only composed of a few major systems: the power system, the firepower system, the driving system, the load balancing system, the defense system and the logistics system.
Originally, complex control systems were needed to achieve accurate control. However, with the artificial soul, the driving system, the load balancing system and the defense system could be completely handed over to the artificial soul. When encountering enemies and obstacles, no one would know better than a real "soul" how to avoid obstacles. The soul spontaneously controlled the tank was much better than the driver's manual control.
In this way, the passengers in the tank only needed to be responsible for maintaining the power system, controlling the firepower system and ensuring the logistics system. The workload was greatly reduced, and the safety was effectively improved.
Estisa smiled, "Is it because the design plan of the artificial soul combat support system has finally been confirmed? If we use the Demonophile Metal, the combat support effect will be better. "
"The combat support system is also done?"
"Well, I have to admire the powerful alchemy strength of the Erinsberg family."
Nokia said with great admiration, "The artificial soul's expansion function in this area is quite powerful."
Originally, it was quite difficult for the tank driver and the gunner to accurately shoot the target in a closed environment. After all, there was no computer in the world that could help calculate the shooting trajectory.
But now there was the artificial soul.
Through the reconstruction and design of the artificial soul (similar to re-coding), an auxiliary effect could be achieved from another perspective. After testing, the effect of this auxiliary combat was quite powerful. With the help of the artificial soul, the experimental tank had a hit rate of more than 60% at a target that was less than 10 meters away from a distance of 3,000 meters.
Don't think it was low. When the shooting was manually controlled, the hit rate was only 20%. In other words, the birth of the artificial soul combat support system increased the hit rate by 40%!
According to Estisa, the entire tank was replaced with the Demonophile Metal, and the artificial soul's performance was greatly increased by 20%, the hit rate would reach a terrifying 80%!
If coupled with the terrible power of the special cannonball, even if an ordinary person drove such an armored tank thousands of meters away, a Gold-tier opponent would be defeated.
If the weapon system was upgraded and adjusted separately, coupled with more terrible ammunition, such as the cannonball loaded with Eutinia's divine runes, or the cannonball loaded with legendary spells, then wouldn't the cannonball be like a nuclear bomb?
After listening to their description, Tang En was overjoyed. Wasn't this the weapon he wanted?
Except that the range was too short, and the cannonball couldn't be too powerful, or it would destroy itself, there was basically no obvious shortcoming. Thick skin, high resistance, high effective load, and powerful … In general, except for the short range, it was perfect, okay?
The number of Prandal's Apocalyptics was still too small compared to ordinary people. The comprehensive benefits of arming ordinary people to fight against Chaos were far greater than continuing to train those Apocalyptics.
What was even better was that ordinary people fought with the help of equipment, and the creatures of Chaos couldn't strengthen themselves at all.
"Come up with a definite design plan as soon as possible!"
Tang En said decisively. "When the production of the Demonophile Metal increases, the first thing to do is to produce a batch of tanks like this! This will be the most important weapon of the country! "
"You're in a hurry to go to war?"
Fiona looked at Tang En suspiciously. She remembered that this guy wasn't a warmonger.
"You don't understand. This is our weapon against the creatures of Chaos. There's no harm in preparing it."
Tang En didn't dare to say that the third Chaos invasion was coming, and if he didn't prepare for it, then it might be GG one day. If he said that now, he was afraid that he would be treated as a lunatic. The only thing he could do was to do his best to push the world in the only way to survive.
"Well, the specific improvement plan can be finalized. After that, when the teacher comes back, we can synthesize the plan and draft it."
Klotto was still at Nova Bul-Kathos. The Heaven-Breaker was now his treasure, and he couldn't bear to let others drive it.
"Got it."
Tang En originally wanted to leave the crashed spaceship here and wait for Klotto to come back so that he could start studying it. However, after careful consideration, he gave up on the idea and decided to hand it to Klotto personally when he came back.
That thing contained clues about the prehistoric Pygmy civilization, and so far, only one complete spaceship had been found. If they could successfully reverse engineer some technology from it, their current technological standards would immediately improve by leaps and bounds. It wouldn't be a dream for them to enter the space age in 30 to 50 years!
Even if they couldn't charge into the sea of stars, it would be good if they could fly to Lorita or Loria. There were Pygmy satellite cities up there, and there were also many technologies that could be discovered.
Thinking back to the mysterious distress signal, if they could really save the prehistoric Pygmy ancestors or a Pygmy tribe that inherited the prehistoric civilization, it would be greatly beneficial to Tang En.
Recently, Klotto had been obsessed with improving the flying technology of the Heaven-Breaker. He was eager to board Lorita to save his ancestors who were still sending out distress signals after 10,000 years. If he knew that Tang En had a spaceship that his ancestors built that could fly into space, he would probably immediately drop everything he was doing and dive into it to study it.
Speaking of the Heaven-Breaker, Tang En recalled his previous idea …
