Chapter 137 Two cities in hand, developing technology
The four-armed Naga priest Elena stretched out a hand, touched the raindrops falling from the sky, and said:
"That's right, this is my magical spell to control the weather. The entire city of Crewe is covered by rain, which can last for several days. The warriors of our clan can display their full combat effectiveness in the rain.

"The city of Crewe is not a big problem. I have already frightened the priests in several temples. The glory of the sea goddess will shine in this city in the future."

Kerr nodded:

"Very well, then I will start receiving the work immediately. After the receiving is completed, you will go to communicate with the temple in Beidas City, and then immediately start building the temple of the Sea Goddess Church!"

As a result, the army of the Broken Tooth collar handed over to the Naga army and took over the city of Crewe. The original owner of the city of Crewe, due to his previous experience of stubbornly resisting the Church of the Goddess of the Sea, was already defeated by the Naga in battle. dealt with.

The war for faith is brutal.

Thanks to his experience in Beidas City, Kerr quickly stabilized Crewe City, and those who fought against Naga in Crewe City were all killed, so Kerr left the army and fought with Elena She and several of her guards teleported back to Bedas City, accompanied by Torrey, a red-robed mage who doesn't like water, and two of Torre's companions, who have now joined the Ministry of Magic.

After arriving in Beidas City, Miss Anna, with the assistance of other human mages, quickly built a large teleportation circle in the city lord's mansion. With this teleportation circle, Beidas City was truly incorporated into the Broken Tooth Collar.

On the same day, the large-scale teleportation circle in Crewe City was also successfully built. The construction of the two large-scale teleportation circles not only consumed the existing mithril of Broken Tooth Collar, but also consumed a lot of mithril stored in Beidas City itself. few.

Although Beidas City and Crewe City are both large cities with a population of hundreds of thousands, in fact, according to Lich Anna's experience, these two cities have only been established in the wilderness for a few decades. There is no particularly good output, so there will not be too many treasures in the treasure houses of the two cities.

Taking the treasure house of Beidas City that Kerr inspected as an example, it is estimated that there are several million gold coins, and other precious gems, gold objects, or works of art are not too many, and it is far inferior to the wealth of the red dragon Shimotan. Of course, it is also possible that the main wealth of Beidas City, along with the legendary mage, disappeared into nothingness in the shattering of time and space.

As for the treasure house of Crewe City, it was naturally emptied by the Naga. Although it was agreed that Crewe City would be handed over to Kerr, the city was brought down by the Naga. Of course, the treasure house cannot be cheaper than Kerr. .

Kerr spent the next few days in both cities dealing with various matters, including but not limited to:
For underground gangs, remove the chaff and save the chaff, let the more lawful personnel become part of the patrol team, and at the same time let this kind of non-productive organization that competes with the official organization completely disappear, such as the underground gang in the XC area of ​​​​Beidas City Sur, who is now a temporary captain of the city guard;
For the nobles, the structure of private soldiers will be revoked. Those who are obedient and obedient will be allowed to continue to survive and find their new position in the broken tooth collar. Those who are disobedient will be strictly censored for possible crimes. Domineering girl, there are aristocratic children who harm the common people, and the whole family may have to shed a layer of skin. If they are really disobedient and have no crimes, Kerr will only cut off their titles;
For merchants who monopolize basic living materials, such as food, as long as it is not too much, Kerr doesn't care much. If the monopoly affects the normal operation and development of the city, Kerr will directly take over the other party's industry, and will only make barely reasonable Compensation. At the same time, the two cities have set up relevant agencies by the Ministry of Materials to collect, store, and distribute grain in an attempt to keep the price of grain at a more appropriate position.

For a group of artisans with a certain scale, Kerr did not force them to join the Technology Department of the Broken Tooth Collar, but just lured them, and the higher salary level was enough to attract them to work for the Broken Tooth Collar, which was also released in the form of tasks Yes, unlike the boulders in the original strongholds of the Broken Tooth Collar, the two cities actually have their own adventurer associations, adventurer mission halls, etc. Kerr further transformed it into a mission system open to all civilians in the city , no longer limited to fighting and adventure.

In order to maintain the internal order of the city, Kerr set up a fixed position of the leader of the broken teeth, directly dispatched, or through the task to let the local wolf people and players fill the positions. In addition, there are also a large number of city guards formed , Among these city guards, there are original human army forces, as well as newly added, screened local gang forces. The existence of these forces is enough to maintain the operation of the city, and there are no leading legendary figures, and these people do not have the ability to resist The ability of Broken Tooth Collar.

. . .

A few days later, the construction of the two temples of the Naga clan began, and thousands of Naga warriors had retreated to the sea outside Crewe. In addition to the temples, Elena also decided to build a new one near the port of Crewe. Naga camp, which echoes the temples in the two cities.

Kerr, who had arranged for the deployment of troops in the two cities, ordered the troops that did not need to be stationed to be brought back to the original stronghold by their respective captains for repairs, and then Kerr himself teleported back to the Red Dragon Fortress.

The Red Dragon Fortress has been built to a higher level these days. Looking at the complete and flat stone ground, and a small number of mixed stone, earth, and wood buildings that have just begun to be built, Kerr feels pretty good.

And Sonans accompanied Kerr to the city wall:
"My lord, the structure of the elemental runes that need to be engraved on the walls of the Red Dragon Fortress has been designed, but we don't have enough mithril at the moment. Although the rune engraving has already started, even if the mining speed of the mithril veins has been increased , and it will take a relatively long period of time to complete the drawing of the runes on the city wall."

"The Human Chamber of Commerce who wanted to cooperate with us before, hasn't delivered all the materials we need these days?"

Kerr remembered the Blue Sword Chamber of Commerce, but the ogre tax officer Aidaan said:

"My lord, you forgot that the Blue Sword Merchant Guild also needs Mithril themselves, but they have already shipped two batches of magic power crystals."

After thinking about it, Kerr said:

"It seems that we need to find other sources of Mithril, whether it is buying in large quantities or exploring new minerals. By the way, Adaan, you have written the need to acquire Mithril as a task in the Red Dragon Fortress. Ishigami, and now you can open up business, allowing merchants in Luskan City to enter the Brokentooth Collar to develop trade as before."

"Yes, I will do it now."

Adaan left after finishing speaking, while Kerr said to Sonans:

"Sonans, this time we expanded and occupied the two cities in the south of the Broken Tooth Territory, and recruited many human mages. They will all join the Ministry of Magic. Also, the lord of Bedas City is a legendary mage. He was found in the lord's mansion. All the information on spells is now in Miss Anna's place, you can ask her for it yourself, I'm leaving first."

After Kerr finished speaking, he went to the teleportation formation, leaving the legendary ogre mage Sonans standing still and shouting:
"Wait! Lord, how do you want me to develop the Ministry of Magic!"

However, Kerr teleported away directly, and Sonans said dully:

"I used to sell high and buy low, and I cheated Anna a lot of money. This time it's probably over! Retribution!"

. . . . . .

Teleported to the town of Babel Tower, Kerr went straight to Goster's blacksmith shop, and then saw Goster and the two level 1 human technicians surrounded by the workbench, Goster beat a parts, while the other two helped with some measuring tools and oddities.

And one of the measuring tools shocked Kerr, it was actually a vernier caliper. I don’t know what these guys used as a benchmark to make this measuring tool. After all, although this world is completely real, there is no benchmark If so, a lot of data, even Kerr, is roughly estimated.

For example, Kerr thinks that he is more than 2 meters tall, but in fact, Kerr himself can't be sure about the exact length of 1 meter.

After Kerr watched for a short time, he saw a level 1 player named 'Old Zhou Loves Fishing' coming to a nearby machine with parts, and inserted the parts into a certain place on the machine, which seemed to be fixed. .

Then Lao Zhou flipped a switch, and a certain part of the machine spun quickly, making a steady trembling sound. Only then did Kerr realize that it was like a lathe.

Because the shape was too strange, and Kerr had seen few lathes in his previous life, he didn't recognize it at first.

Only then did Gost notice that Kerr was coming, and said loudly:
"My lord, look at our results. Haha, I think this thing called a lathe is very interesting! It is also useful in some places!"

Kerr also exclaimed:
"Very good, I think you can learn from each other, especially Gost, I think if you can learn the knowledge behind this lathe, it may be helpful for you to make more top-level magic items!"

"Yes, I think with their help, maybe I can make a kind of artifact!" Gost was very excited.

And another level 1 human player standing next to the workbench said:

"My lord, we want more fine gold! This Gost is so stingy that he is not willing to give us a fine gold drill, and it took him a long time before he agreed."

Gost quickly retorted:

"Isn't it because I didn't understand what you were going to do at the beginning? You two weak chickens blamed me. You have the ability to fight with my dwarves, or drink! Hehe!"

Facing Gust's ridicule, I saw this level 1 human player named 'Old Money Loves to Play Chess' standing in place, shaking his hands, and brought up several afterimages:

"Do you think I'm good! When I upgrade and become stronger, you won't be able to beat me hahaha! Now it's a competition, if you have the ability, you can fish with us. There are so many fish in the reservoir, let's send it over to compare!"

At this time, Kerr, who was watching, slowly shot a "? ', secretly thinking that these guys really know how to play, drinking competitions, fighting competitions, and teleportation to fishing competitions!
"Okay, okay, stop arguing, Master Gost, don't look at these two guys who look very young, but they are actually very skilled, but they are not in the same field as you. Whatever needs they have, you try to meet them , You can go to Mars to record and reimburse the money for materials, and you yourself have the same authority as them.

"As for the materials that you haven't prepared yourself, report them to the material department and let them worry about it for you. By the way, we have included Beidas City and Crewe City into the Broken Tooth Collar. If there is any need for Master Gost, you can mention it. There are many craftsmen in these two cities. I have already started to issue tasks and invite them to join the work of Broken Tooth Collar with high rewards!"

Kerr had just finished speaking, and Lao Zhou, who operated the lathe, seemed to be busy. After turning off the lathe, he handed over the parts to Lao Qian, glanced at the dazed Gost, and said:

"Our Ministry of Science and Technology should need to recruit a group of apprentices, uh, but I shouldn't worry about this matter, our ministers will arrange it, and Lord Lord, iron ore must be mined on a large scale! Various machine tools will soon be available. It will be done, the production line will be set up quickly, and we need a venue."

These Kernels are of course supported:

"Don't worry, I will let Qingfeng Xikuang arrange all these, and the iron ore mining will definitely start immediately. As for the venue, it mainly depends on the requirements of your Ministry of Science and Technology."

Then, Kerr didn't bother the three top technicians anymore, left quickly, and teleported to the iron ore. Iron ingots, but once the production starts, I'm afraid it will be used up soon.

Turning to look at the goblin laboratory, there are two ogres guarding the door. Kerr entered the laboratory and found that several technicians from the Ministry of Science and Technology were making magic crystal bombs with Goblin Weeks.

Seeing Kerr coming, Weeks excitedly said:
"Great Broken Tooth! Isn't our magic crystal bomb very powerful! I heard they said that you used the magic crystal bomb to blow down the city wall. Is it true!"

Kerr laughed:

"Your information is very well-informed. The power of the magic crystal bomb is not bad. It did blow down the city wall, but I had to hack the city wall first to have this effect. You have to work hard and make a more powerful bomb! "

"Obey! Great Broken Tooth!" Hearing that the city wall had indeed been blown down, Weeks was so excited.

And Kerr told the rest of the tech department:
"What's the matter, the current progress of the explosives?"

A technician stopped what he was doing and said:
"My lord, we are now trying to improve the trigger fuze of the magic crystal bomb, and try to make better propellants such as nitrocellulose. However, the material department has not yet provided us with suitable fiber products, and it may take some time to stabilize production. , but surely the propellant can be prepared before the bullet production line is built."

Kerr heard the technician say so many professional terms, and thought that this person did not have the consciousness to act and integrate into this world.

But what Kerr doesn't know is that in fact, all the newly joined humans in the Ministry of Science and Technology have already acquiesced that Kerr has the same human soul as them in modern society.

But things like bullet production lines sound very tempting.
