Damn it, this boss really has no normal skills.

Chapter 370 Brother, this is green, it can't be sleepy black tea
Canglang still trusted Ji Ming, so he didn't worry about the danger posed by the werewolf that followed him in.

After all, even if he really was a bad guy, he was confident enough that he could beat him into a wolf cub with just a sliding tackle, letting him know who the hell was the werewolf who was even more powerful than the ruthless guy.

But according to the organization's regulations, he needed to submit a written record and report of every word of this meeting, so he went through the process.

"Oh, this, this is the bodyguard I hired. After all, I'm traveling alone, and if anything goes wrong, there's always someone to take care of me. Come on, Ah Hui, come over and say hello to Brother Tiaozi!"

"Uh……"

Chloe was thinking that the old man who wasn't even a professional was fine, but this guy had blood and energy as strong as a butcher. You want me to show my teeth to him?
Seeing the werewolf shrinking his neck and not saying a word, Canglang, whose lumps of flesh were about to burst his clothes, smiled.

"Hey, Wai Shu, why does your bodyguard look a little shy?"

"He is just like that. He is not good at socializing. Otherwise, why would I bring him here?"

"Oh, so that's how it is...So what do you think?"

"We are one family, no problem."

"Well, just keep it in mind. I believe you. Sit down, sit down. Everyone, sit down! I'll prepare something good for you."

Inviting the two to sit down, Canglang turned and walked to the coffee table beside him, grabbed a handful of black stuff from the paper bag on the table, and put it into the iron kettle full of water.

"???"

Chloe was still wondering if this was some kind of laxative poison when she smelled a strange fragrance coming from the kettle that was gradually being heated by magic.

Ji Ming thought for a moment and then grinned.

"Tea? Damn! I thought the Yangyue world only had coffee, beer and honey water, and at most some herbal soup."

Canglang didn't even turn his head. He stirred it vigorously with a chopstick and replied casually.

"Haha, Professor Qian and his team discovered this when they were doing an ecological survey on a nearby mountain. It's an old tea tree, probably over a thousand years old. Since you're here, let's enjoy it."

???

Ji Ming was stunned when he heard this, until Canglang brought back three cups of tea, his face was full of surprise.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not Nantong. Drink it quickly. It's green, not the sleepy black tea!"

"Nima..."

Ji Ming took the cup, blew on it, and carefully took a sip. He was surprised to find that...

Hey, you know what, this tea is real tea!

Moreover, no matter how good the stuff is, it is impossible to expect Canglang to perform the twenty-one steps of the three-boiling and three-brewing tea art for him.

The way he made tea was so rough that it was almost like he was dissolving protein powder in a kettle, and it was the kind that made him so thirsty that he wanted to drink it right away.

There was no beautiful tea set that was so delicate that it seemed like it would break at the slightest touch. Looking at the half-filled glass in his hand, Ji Ming felt that this thing was used to drink beer.

So after taking this sip, he sniffed it again and couldn't help sighing.

"If this thing were in our possession, it would be a top-notch luxury item that you wouldn't even be able to afford even if you spent a lot of money, right? You've ruined all the good stuff!"

Canglang might be really thirsty. He took a gulp in the almost scorching heat and then uttered three words.

"a mountain!"

Ji Ming frowned. He seemed to have suddenly thought of something. He slightly widened his eyes.

"Yes! You guessed it right. We found a mountain covered with thousand-year-old tea trees!"

...Although I know that there are more natural wonders in the magical world, does your world produce such top-notch ones?
However, Ji Ming was relieved at the moment of surprise. After all, he had an old tree in his home that was at least tens of thousands of years old and even its species had transformed into a unique one. It was hard to say what kind of thing it was.

"Okay, you guys really know how to enjoy yourself. You're all tea immortals. Our Foreign Affairs Bureau is also full of immortals."

To put it bluntly, isn't it just leaves soaked in water? Ji Ming took a few more sips and simply drank it all in one gulp. He smacked his lips and asked.

"How are we doing recently? Is there any progress on my brother Zhang's mecha?"

"Well, how can I put it? This difficulty may be more than I imagined."

Canglang scratched his head, called up several pictures in his game system, and sent them all to Ji Ming.

"So even though the manpower is increasing rapidly, the shortage is increasing even faster. It may take some time before we can officially start production."

Ji Ming opened the chat box and found that the picture was of the valley where the Foreign Affairs Bureau had set up its headquarters. However, compared with two weeks ago, it had undergone tremendous changes.

If the small scientific research building responsible for the research of magic mechas had not still existed, he would not have dared to recognize this huge construction site that stretched all the way to the horizon and where construction was underway almost everywhere.

And if you look closely at the photos, it's even more amazing. The workers moving around are far more than just players. There are also a large number of guys who are definitely locals, including humans, orcs, sub-humans, and even domesticated monsters that serve as transportation and construction tools.

That's right, even though Ji Ming has been manipulating the game system to open backdoors for countries around the world, including China, in order to increase the probability of relevant technical talents successfully winning the game qualifications.

But currently, there are only 10,000 new players entering the game every day. Everyone wants to join, and who can enter and who can’t? Don’t ordinary people have the right to play the game?
Therefore, as a savior whose stance should be more objective, even if he still retains his own selfish desires, it is impossible for him to misappropriate all his qualifications.

What's more, if you want to maintain such a grand development plan, it is not enough to rely on players alone, and you must rely on the power of local people.

Therefore, the number of local people on the construction site is far greater than that of players, and the number of players is probably only a fraction of their number.

Now it was Ji Ming's turn to ask back.

"Is it credible?"

Canglang smiled bitterly.

"You can't trust them! They just catch spies every day!"

This is also one of the reasons why the project progress is not satisfactory.

It is true that they can recruit people from the local area, and as the locals of the magical world, their physical fitness is far beyond that of the earthlings. However, the question is, can they be trusted?

Do you dare to hand over the design drawings of various high-tech and confidential laboratories to them and let them carry out the entire construction process with confidence?

Leave it to these guys who never had enough to eat before, who can't walk when they see a large piece of meat, and who steal things from time to time?
Okay, even if you are brave enough to entrust such an important matter to them, can they do it?
If working on a construction site were really that easy, there wouldn't be so-called skilled workers, various professions, and even top-notch universities.

So in addition to local employees, the Foreign Affairs Bureau is constantly trying to recruit some relatively reliable bulk players.

Even if I just come here to be a patrol officer, it would be an extra effort.

During this process, there were also players who were simply doing the job for money and expressed their questions with good intentions, asking the seemingly inconspicuous superior of that account in the Fetion group.

[Do we really need to spread out the construction site so much? Why not divide it into several projects, Xiao Li? I feel bad for you all because you are so busy all day long.]

However, before the young man could copy and paste the answer he had prepared in advance, another player who was still in school gave his answer.

[Auntie, this is actually the most basic plan. If it’s less, we might not even be able to put together a full set of equipment.]

Yes, with the continuous improvement of players' science and technology, many things on this technology tree can no longer be obtained by successfully advancing on a single branch.

There are more and more branches intersecting with each other, involving more and more technical categories, and they must all go through the entire process from theory to construction to production.

For example, how to build an aircraft carrier.

In "Red Alert 2", you only need to shoot a shipyard and a combat laboratory, then click the mouse and spend two thousand dollars to get it done.

In "Civilization VI", you only need a prerequisite technology called "Joint Operations", and then you can build freely in coastal cities or ports, or simply spend money to take them over.

But what about the reality where you can’t spend money, you can’t speed up, and you can hardly skip levels?

Yuri Ivanovich Makarov, former director of the Black Sea Shipyard, gave the answer.

When asked how to complete the construction of the Varyag, which was half-built when Big Brother disintegrated, his answer was that in addition to a complete Big Brother, it would also require the State Planning Commission, the Military Industrial Commission, nine defense industry ministries, 600 related majors, and 8,000 supporting manufacturers.

——In short, it takes a great country to accomplish it.

Moreover, even with the blessing of magic and legendary craftsmen, they can really rely on their passion to create high-specification parts in modern times or even World War I, which would require extremely high technology to manufacture on Earth.

But in the world of magic, a technological weapon that has neither incredible damage nor can be widely equipped is really meaningless, even if it is made by the dwarf master Wilmore.

After all, even manufacturing an early automatic rifle based on the M1916 prototype requires such a huge amount of manpower and cost. No matter how beautiful it is, it can only be used as a collectible ornament.

"What should I do..."

Old Zhao was so worried about this that his hair was falling out, until one of the big guys in the technical committee knocked on the table and said something.

"Are we planning to restore all of our civilization in another world?"

Only then did I suddenly realize, yes, there is no need for us to consider the current technological status of the Earth. We should just do it as before, taking the Yangyue World as the basis and proceed step by step.

As for why the committee, which had already realized the truth, still marked out such a large construction site and frantically set up offices in other places for procurement.

——Sorry, just like what the student boy said, this is already the last line to meet the most basic needs.

In fact, according to the plan, there are still 70 or 80 pages of densely packed projects that have not yet started...

Therefore, Zhang Hai's magic mecha plan did not go smoothly. The technical level in many areas was not up to standard for the time being, so he did not achieve the strategic goals he originally thought he could achieve.

There was only a recipe but no rice, which made him so anxious that he drew pictures every day to vent his anger. With the manuscripts on hand, he could almost be a part-time mecha designer for a game company.

However, as a key project promoted by the current Affairs Bureau, the Mecha Research Department, which consumes a lot of resources, is not without technological achievements.

However, this is not "public content" that can be sent directly to Ji Ming.

"So, come and see mine."

Canglang brought out a video sharing box and placed it in front of Ji Ming.

Among them is a robotic arm connected by multiple magic pipes, standing outside the screen, but judging from the sounds, it should be making corresponding movements in response to Zhang Hai's instructions.

Starting with grasping the weapon, then pulling the trigger, and continuing with threading a needle and unscrewing a bottle cap, the projects are all purposefully designed and representative.

"Ok?"

As another big iron and hard lover, although Ji Ming has not studied the magic mecha technology in detail, he has carefully enjoyed the first generation of magic armor and even the upgraded version 2.0. Therefore, he knows that it may be due to the limitations of technology and energy drive, or it may be that there is no need to create too many technical problems for itself in the initial stage. In short, although the first generation of mecha has hands, it does not have a real "hand structure".

Whether it is the 1.0 magic wand or the 2.0 chainsaw, the weapon and the arm are directly connected together. At most, for the convenience of use, a simple rotating and twisting mechanism is added to a place that looks like a hand.

It's a pity that this magic robot arm failed in the needle threading challenge. Although it succeeded in the bottle cap unscrewing challenge, some cracks appeared on the bottle, and it was obvious that there was still a problem of uneven force output.

However, such delicate operations that are almost possible with human hands are absolutely impossible with the first generation of magic mecha. If you really want to use it to open a potion bottle, it will only be crushed to the ground by brute force. So this is definitely a technological innovation in the field of magic mecha.

"Great!"

As an intelligence dealer cooperating with the Bureau of External Affairs, Ji Ming had a lot to do these days, but he was not the only one working in the production team, so he still obtained a lot of valuable intelligence.

Ever since Adele transformed into the True Source God and agreed to make the technology of the Magic Mecha public, officials from various countries and some high-tech companies that successfully applied for research rights have begun research in their respective fields.

If China's main attack direction is the movable hands of the magic mecha, then the White Eagle's main attack direction is structural enlargement, the Europa Alliance's direction is mechanical prostheses, Rossiya's direction is heavy armaments, and Japan's direction is high-temperature lasers...

And these are just the official forces of each country, whose thinking is relatively conservative. If you talk too much, you will easily be beaten to death by your superiors.

Private enterprises with certain technical strength don't have any pressure to complete tasks, so they have many topics to explore or to deceive investors with empty promises.

As long as you are brave enough, you can write anything you want, from Cthulhu's fraud to Investiture of the Gods, and then mix in some nonsense.

Those who know say that they are conducting mecha research, while those who don’t think that some soft science fiction IP is about to be launched.
