Being a lord in another world begins with farming

Chapter 458 Variables
Although the God of Knights was fooled away, it was only a matter of time before a conflict broke out between the two sides. Owen knew this, because his appetite for the territory was not that small this time, and he didn't think he could hide it from the noble goddess. Not only was this god However, he is still a nobleman. In front of the experienced opponent, he is just a rookie, so he has not been idle during this period and is constantly preparing for the challenge.

Fortunately, the noble goddess is not a fighting god. She is not that aggressive and will not participate in battles in person. Although she has two gods under her command, one of them must be by her side at all times. When there is only one god , Owen is really not afraid.

Although he is not afraid, he can delay as long as he can. The further he goes, the greater his advantage will be. Therefore, Irving does not rush and lets the territory be conquered slowly.

Just as Owen guessed, the God of Knights is upright, but the Goddess of Nobility is not a fool. Although she didn't go, she knew after hearing the description of the God of Knights that there was something fishy. After all, when it comes to playing tricks, the nobles can definitely play tricks with the drow. Comparable to the devil, also in terms of black heart.

Sitting on the throne, the aristocratic goddess has her legs crossed. Her snow-white and slender legs are matched with a noble temperament, which perfectly penetrates the life gate of the licking dogs, which can stimulate them to howl. Unfortunately, this is her kingdom of God, licking dogs. This creature can't get in, let alone lick it.

"This little guy is not as simple as you think." The noble goddess said leisurely. The god of guards on the side remained expressionless and silent as usual. Only the god of knights frowned.

"Did he lie?" Apart from betrayal, what the God of Knights hates most is lies, so his favorable impression of Owen has dropped by three points.

"No, he won't lie, but he made a bet with you, didn't he?" the noble goddess said quietly. If it were her, she would definitely not agree to the bet, but the one who let him go was the God of Knights.

The God of Knights, who went to stop the expansion of Owen's power, originally felt that his actions were a bit bullying, and that it would be too much to show no mercy. So as soon as Owen said it, he agreed, but now it seems, It seems that I did something wrong.

"Do we need to start a war?" Although going back on his words was not in line with his beliefs, but it was about his allegiance, the God of Knights still spoke.

"No need. Although the little guy will make Northland a variable, there are already enough variables in the main world, including the imperial capital, the academy city, the underground world, and the secret realm. Maybe his growth will bring us something different. Surprise." Since the noble goddess can give up the temptation to rebuild the empire, she will not care too much about a mere northern land. After all, she knows more and knows what she will face in the future.

Besides, the elf god system is the most protective of shortcomings. There is a light god behind the opponent, and it is conservatively estimated that he is also a middle god. In this case, it is not a wise choice to conflict with the opponent.

Even so, the noble goddess will not sit idly by, because her priesthood and authority cannot allow her to ignore the opponent's expansion. She must respond, even if she knows it is just a useless effort. This is the restriction of her priesthood and authority.

The only way now is to control the scope and level of the conflict without expanding it, so the previous bet between the God of Knights and the other party became a stroke of genius.

So the Noble Goddess asked the God of Knights to go to the border town alliance to exert some influence and increase support for Cross, so as to limit the power of Owen's side. If the development goes well, she may not need to take action.

As Cross continued to send back information about the Glory Alliance, the War Council began to pay more and more attention to this enemy. Coupled with the influence of the God of Knights, many internal restrictions set by themselves became looser. First of all, they began to pay attention to alchemy. The productivity brought by machinery, and secondly, some originally restricted technologies have also been brought out, such as steam tanks, steel giants, etc., all of which are planned to enter the production stage.

I didn't use it before, it was useless. To put it simply, I thought I was very good at it, so I didn't use it. I would rather waste my martial arts. But when I encountered a powerful enemy, I quickly lowered my head to pick it up and repair it. build.

However, neither production nor output can be improved in a short period of time. The more complex it is, the more so. Not to mention that although the Border City Alliance has relaxed restrictions on alchemy machinery to improve productivity, due to previous suppression, As a result, many things are imperfect. For example, the semi-automatic rifle that was previously awarded the honorary title "League of Honor" and is considered a high-quality product cannot be imitated because many parts do not have corresponding production equipment.

The single-shot rifle equipped by the Border Town Alliance is no different from a loaded shotgun. This thing only has a few parts. Therefore, if you want to imitate a semi-automatic rifle, you need to specially design a set of machines for each part and make the entire gun. An assembly line.Of course, if you have enough alchemists, you can rub it with your hands, but the key is not.

Even the alchemists of the Border Town Alliance can't produce hundreds of thousands of rifles even if their hands are useless.

What's more, not to mention how much these two methods cost and how long they take, the ammunition needed by the entire army cannot be supplied.

A firearm can be used for a long time and can even accompany multiple soldiers, but bullets are purely consumables and need to be consumed not only in combat but also in daily training.

Nowadays, an infantryman in the Border Town Alliance can sustain a battle with thirty rounds of ammunition. If he can switch to a semi-automatic rifle, even if an individual soldier carries twice as many bullets, he will not be able to last long. The semi-automatic bullets are consumed too quickly. An army of hundreds of thousands can break a man down.

Bullets are not only a matter of casting warheads and cartridge cases. The primer and propellant must be configured by alchemists. Alchemists insist on this aspect, so it is too difficult to expand production, so the Border Town Alliance changes the amount of equipment in a short time. The largest rifle is not realistic.

However, based on the intelligence provided by Cross, the War Council focused on machine guns.

The fire suppression effect of the machine gun is vividly displayed on the conscripts. It is impossible for the War Council not to be moved, even if it involves many difficulties, it must be completed.

Rifles with precise shooting, machine guns with suppressive firepower, and artillery with strong support, these are the three axes prepared by the War Council for the army, and will also be the future development direction of the army.

But this is not easy. For alchemists, complex mechanical structures are like educational toys. You can play with them however you want. It is no problem to make a mechanical doll composed entirely of gears. The problem is the cost. .

One or two things can be done without considering the cost, and tens of thousands of things can be done without considering the cost. How much wealth do you have to dare to waste it like this?

For example, the army currently needs at least a thousand machine guns, which are complex in structure. Not to mention the production cost, the supporting machinery alone can drive people crazy.

Even if the Border Town Alliance inherits the legacy of the Imperial Frontier Army, it still can't carry it. What's more, now is no different than before. Now there is no Empire to allocate funds, resources, and talents to them.

Therefore, every alchemist is worried about losing his hair, thinking about how to simplify the components. These components must be mass-produced with existing equipment, which is even more worrying.

Fortunately, Master Eugene on the front line provided some ideas. A group of alchemists argued for three days and finally came up with a design plan. Although most of the parts required alchemists to rub their hands, at least the Border Town Alliance had its own machine gun. .
