From pioneer lord to king

Chapter 130 The First Show of Crystal Bomb【4K】

In mid-May, the sun was fierce and cloudless.

"Sir, do you need such a large amount next time?" Fetrol frowned and looked at the list in his hand, feeling a little tricky.

"Yes, Mr. Fetrol, you should also know that green sugar is now selling well in the entire Green Province. We are expanding the market outside the province. We need to get more good products."

The person in charge of the caravan sent by Cheers was a fat middle-aged man with a simple and honest face, and he spoke in a refreshing manner, which was very attractive to people.

Fetrol knocked on the table. As a financial officer, he was in charge of the territory's export trade. Green sugar, as the most stable source of income, has always been personally responsible.

Ryan and Hevian also trusted him a lot and never intervened too much in his decisions, but this time he suddenly felt a little unable to make up his mind.

The other party asked for [-] pounds of green sugar this month, which is still within a reasonable range. After a little overtime, it will be rushed out. After all, the green cane is also growing vigorously this season, and the raw materials have not been restricted.

This is a big deal for 150 Kindlers.

But in the next month, they actually need [-] pounds, which is already the minimum amount in half a year in the contract. The existing production capacity of Ekana is completely insufficient, so they can only expand the scale, and at least three times the scale.

The larger the scale, the worse the confidentiality. Now many people have begun to suspect that if it expands further, there may be a risk of exposure. This is a cash cow, how can it be easily shown to others?
Seeing that Fetrol was hesitant, the fat businessman naturally knew his doubts, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "My lord, our master is willing to offer [-] pieces to Jindler to buy the secret recipe of sugar making, why don't you consider it?" Consider? When the time comes, we will accept the goods from your side as usual, so you don’t have to worry about the secret recipe being leaked, right?”

Fetrol immediately refused when he heard the words, what a joke, if it is expanded to a scale of [-] pounds a month, as long as the profit generated in a year is more than the [-] gold Dele.

"Sir, go back and wait for the news. We will provide you with at least five thousand pounds of goods next month."

Fetrol stood up and said sincerely.

After the caravan left, he immediately came to the castle to discuss with Ryan. This month's [-] pounds is [-] Kindlers. The temptation is too great. Who wouldn't want to go up and take a bite?
"Triple the size?" Ryan mused slightly. He stood up and looked at the concrete road that had been built outside the window. This is the beginning of construction, but it will not be the end. He needs money, a lot of money.

"Fitroll, pass on the order to gather all the slaves in the territory and build two sugar mills in the south of the city. The principle of separating the juice and soup is still adopted, and it is kept strictly confidential. The output will be brought up as soon as possible. .”

"Yes, my lord. It's just that, in this way, our consumption of green cane will reach an astonishing nearly seventy thousand pounds per month, and the existing storage capacity is simply not enough."

Fetrol was overjoyed, but then came up with a real problem. It is one thing for green cane to grow fast, but it still needs to be cut down by people, and it is easy to deteriorate in summer, so it cannot be stored in large quantities. It has to be cut and squeezed every day.

"This is not a problem. The mayors of each small town are ordered to buy green cane at a price of five coppers per day. Each town buys [-] pounds, a total of [-] pounds, and the other [-] pounds are purchased within the city."

This can be considered as an increase in the income of the residents. Don't look at how little five coppers are. In the past, that thing was worthless. Even if Ryan didn't give them a penny, he would just stare blankly.

Every day when I come back from farm work, I can easily chop a dozen or so pounds, which is enough to feed and clothe the whole family.

"You mean, you see a road that looks like a stone but is a whole?"

Cheers sat in the study with a curious expression on his face, he really couldn't imagine what it was.

The fat businessman who just came back from Doman City nodded and said, "Yes, sir, it's off-white, very smooth, and very hard to step on. I had someone knock it with a hammer. Hey, it's almost like a stone.

There are two in the city. They call them cement roads. It is said that they plan to pave such roads between towns, and the cost should not be very high. "

Cheers raised his eyebrows. Dirt roads and stone roads are naturally two different concepts. The same road can save at least one-third or even longer time.

"This kid, it's really getting more and more interesting. The same territory, you think it's strange, why did the previous lords live poorer and poorer, and he has the same good things here?"

The fat businessman narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, and quickly said: "Baron Black is naturally different from other people, he is someone you value, sir."

"Hahaha, you. You have worked hard this time, but you can't rest yet. Hurry up and deliver the goods. Nearly half of the nobles in the province are waiting."

Cheers smiled and nodded the fat businessman, then waved him back and stared at the bookshelf, not knowing what he was thinking.

……

The sugar mill is being expanded in an orderly manner, and the construction team is using the magical "sand magic" to start building roads from Doman City to the other eight small towns, striving to get rid of dirt roads within a year.

There is also good news from the papermaking workshop. Papermaking technology has made new progress. We can start mass papermaking only after the next batch of raw materials are soaked. By then, wiping our butts with paper will become a reality.

Movable type printing was delayed because of the last incident, and it only started a few days ago, so there is no progress for the time being, but it should be much simpler than papermaking.

On the last night of May, Ryan, who was meditating and practicing, suddenly opened his eyes. The dragon crystal in his mind was spinning crazily, but the purple mist was constantly being pulled away by something.

A gleam of light erupted in his eyes. This feeling is the activation of [Alchemy Core]!

"Liman succeeded." He hurriedly dressed, and just opened the door, the head maid Anna who was in a daze at the door was startled.

"Sir, what are your orders?"

Anna bowed quickly, she was only in her teens, not as big as Ryan, she was not pretty, she had a few freckles on her face, and she was wearing a decent maid skirt.

Strange to say, she became the head maid of the Black family at such a young age?

"Hey, call me Master, am I that old?" Ryan's mouth twitched. People trained by the old housekeeper Deman are used to calling him Master, and they will not change after repeated admonition. He is obviously a sunny boy in his twenties.

"Okay, master." She replied crisply, and then started to be in a daze.

Ryan: "..."

Looking up to the sky and sighing, thinking that she might be the new housekeeper of the family in the future, he felt a gloomy future ahead.

He couldn't help but want to complain about the vision of his dead ghost father. Who did he choose? Why do Deman and Anna feel that their heads are not bright enough? Loyalty is necessary, wisdom is loyal...

"Okay, I'm going out tonight, you go back and rest." Sighing, he chose to give up struggling.

"Okay, master." Anna nodded heavily, and then continued to be in a daze.

Seeing this, Ryan's temples bulged, he turned his head and walked away, Grandma, do all of them have rebellious bones?
He didn't call anyone, and rushed to the laboratory as fast as he could.

As soon as he opened the door of the laboratory, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. Liman raised his arms high, with a frenzied and crazy expression.

In front of him is a ball with a diameter of more than half a meter. The ball is spinning crazily. There is a big hole in the roof on top of it. Wisps of light continuously fall from the hole like ribbons and are absorbed by the ball. .

Below the sphere is a device that looks like a metal cabinet. On its somewhat rough surface, strips of light spread along the carved runes, and then suddenly opened.

Inside are rows of blank crystals, about [-] of them, originally ordinary, but because of a rainbow-like light injected into them, they emit colorful rays of light.

"Is this... an artificial magic crystal?"

In Ryan's mind, the dragon crystal was spinning crazily, absorbing the purple mist at a speed several times faster than usual. At this speed, four or five drops of source liquid would be condensed a day, which is enough to prove the strength of the magic power here.

"That's right, this is the magic crystal full of chaotic magic power. I have already controlled the most appropriate output. My thinking is correct! It is correct! Hahaha..."

There was light in Liman's eyes, and he was dancing and laughing, matching his slovenly face with abnormal madness.

Soon, the high-speed rotating ball gradually stopped, and the fully charged magic crystal fell into the box below, making a crisp sound.

Liman walked over to pick up one, put it carefully in front of his eyes, it was different from pure magic crystals, it contained colorful lights, and he could feel the extremely compressed and destructive power in it.

"As long as I transform these magical powers, I will be completely successful, and the rune technology can also shine in my hand!" Liman stared at the crystal in his hand, and the enthusiasm in his eyes did not dissipate at all.

"clap clap"

Ryan clapped his palms heavily, and said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, Master Liman, you are one step closer to finding the truth. I believe you will succeed sooner or later."

"Hmph, it's still far away." Liman snorted arrogantly, the enthusiasm in his eyes finally subsided, and it was no longer like taking fake medicine.

"In this way, the crystal bomb can also be tested." He asked expectantly.

"Hmph, that thing is not difficult at all, as long as the theoretical basis is correct, there is no need for experiments at all."

Liman carefully put the crystal into the box, then picked up a round metal can on the workbench and gave it to him.

The whole body of the metal tank is made of black iron, with a diameter of about ten centimeters and a thickness of five centimeters, a little taller than a crystal.One end is detachable and can be opened to reveal simple runes engraved inside.

Attached to the other end was a longer handle, which Ryan held just fine with one hand.

"This is the container engraved with [Shock Rune], which can accommodate five crystals arranged in a ring, and there is a groove in the middle facing the handle, which can be used as a magic crystal for energy.

This is the smallest size. In theory, it can be made as big as it is, but I don't recommend making it too big, because the consequences of making a mistake will be devastating.

It is very simple to use, just put the crystal in, hold the handle and throw it out after it is fully closed, just don't let it be subjected to severe impact before throwing it out, otherwise... huh. "Liman sneered a few times, a little creepy.

Ryan looked at this shape, and it did have a certain similarity with the wooden handle grenade in his previous life. He couldn't help but wonder how powerful the five chaotic magic crystals were.

He cast his eyes on Liman, who seemed to know what he was thinking, grabbed a few crystals from the box and said, "You can find a place to try it now, anyway, you are not afraid of revealing anything at night."

Ryan nodded, looking forward to it in his heart, they simply cleaned up, and finally came to a wasteland a few miles away from Doman City.

He reckoned that the explosion of this thing would definitely be quite loud, so he kept as far away as possible from the gathering points of people to avoid causing panic.

Since he wanted to test the power, he naturally had to have an object. He finally set his sights on a few big rocks in the distance. If he could blow up these rocks, let alone humans, monsters would have to be placed here and there.

In order to verify the scope of the explosion, he also specially moved the stones and placed them in different positions. Stones weighing several hundred pounds were not a problem for him.

"Master Liman, what distance do you think is appropriate?"

"My suggestion is that the farther the better, this is a weapon that has never appeared before, so it is always right to be careful."

Ryan nodded when he heard the words, and walked to a place more than 100 meters away from the rock. With his strong arm strength, the crystal bomb weighing less than two pounds can achieve accurate hits at this position.

Place the five chaotic magic crystals in the container, and finally put the energy into the groove engraved with the [Guiding Rune]. The bottom of the container instantly emits a faint light, which means that the [Oscillating Rune] is activated.

Carefully close the lid on the top of the container tightly, and this is a complete crystal bomb.

Taking a deep breath, he threw it out with all his strength. Under the dim moonlight, the bomb made a graceful appearance in the air, and landed heavily next to the most central stone.

The moment it landed, the [Shock Rune] carved on the bottom began to flicker violently, sending out a shock wave invisible to the naked eye, and the space seemed to be rippled.

The small-scale shock wave immediately covered the six crystals including the energy source, and the outer wall cracked in an instant, and colorful rays of light burst out...

"Boom..."

When there was a loud noise, Liman only felt a "buzz" in his ears. The bright light illuminated the surrounding space, and the violent and chaotic magical power was released all at once.

A colorful ball of light changed from small to large, covering a range of more than ten meters in diameter in an instant.

For a moment, sand and rocks flew away, and the sound waves generated by the explosion lifted the turf on the ground. Ryan resisted the dazzling light and looked over, and several successive stones instantly turned into powder...

After the explosion, Ryan looked at the big pit and a pile of disappearing stones, and he was stunned...
