Come here.

The trial operation of the airship went well, but subsequent production was a problem. For no other reason, the supply of raw materials was insufficient.

The sand sea is barren, mainly because the development is too low. Not to mention the bulk cargo, even a small handicraft workshop must use materials urgently.

He needed a supply chain. Looking around, he could only find a solution from the rainforest. Is it a coincidence?Someone threw themselves into a trap!

The problem of the 30-man regiment is ultimately a question of military strength. The legacy of the God King makes the 30-man regiment feel threatened by force. To prevent the legacy of the God King from stepping aside and alarming the Order Council, the 30-member regiment needs military support.

To be precise, it is the security chief of the 30-member regiment stationed in the Greater Red Sand Sea who needs support. The difference is probably the difference between France and the French African Division.

If you mobilize all the local military power at the beginning of the colonial war, you are still the Seven Kingdoms of the World.

Du Ruo never worried that the 30-man regiment would go all out to fight in the sand sea. There was absolutely no chance of that. They were the Gilded Brigade responsible for public security, not the Xumi Expeditionary Force.

If the scope of the sand sea and the power of the rain forest are limited, Aru will not lack force. Indeed, Duruo will prove this, as long as he has enough financial resources.

I believe that the Sheriff came to Aru not just because of the location.

In other words, both parties have common interests, and it depends on who can take the lead.

In the room, Du Ruo looked like he was shaking his hands:

"Your Excellency, Sheriff, I heard that you support peace?"

"Of course, what do you want to say? Needless to say, even if the legacy of the God King and all the forces of Tanit are added, they will not be the opponent of the 30-man group."

"Well, I believe it. So how much casualties are you prepared to pay, how much compensation are you willing to pay, and how much are you prepared to alarm the Order?"

Du Ruo presents the facts and makes sense.

A person died in the sea of ​​sand, his name was Daily.

A person died in Xumi City, it was called a homicide.

It is natural that the same life is not equivalent in different places.

"Aru, do you want to get support?" Luxembabo's mind was spinning rapidly. He looked at the two people in front of him and reminded: "It's not impossible, but..."

"It's not support, it's cooperation." Du Ruo interrupted him, "We can cooperate with the 30-man group, or we can cooperate with the Legacy of the God King. We are all desert people, and we don't distinguish between each other."

"..."

Candice kept silent, fearing that she wouldn't be able to say anything nice.

Lucenbabo couldn't bear it: "They are all desert people? But isn't the war because Aru provided the so-called 'dancing powder'? It's nonsense. It has been proven by Xumi scholars that it is meaningless."

"Does the Xumi scholar provide anything meaningful to improve this plan?" Du Ruo asked curiously.

Luxembabo was silent.

"No, that's right, because we are all desert people."

"you are not."

After a long silence, he retorted.

"Yes, after all, I am the king of the sand sea, although there is no benefit other than that." Du Ruo shook his head: "Let us return to the topic. For the sake of peace, I am naturally bound to do it, but you also know my friend, Aru is in trouble. , the villagers are a group of illiterate men who can only rely on their lives in exchange for wealth. They do not understand the preciousness of peace and need more realistic incentives."

"Imagine, for no reason, they are asked to fight for a rainforest that they have no sense of identity against, and they may even lose their lives. I'm afraid they won't do it. They might as well join others and cause trouble for the rainforest together."

Luxembabo looked at Du Ruo deeply: "That will definitely lead to defeat!"

"Yes, you should be on the side of the winner, but is it better to be on the side of the winner?"

"No, no, no,"

Du Ruo waved his hands repeatedly, "Still in poverty, still illiterate, and even still in disputes. Peace is very important, but war can at least give you a breath... Don't people live just for a breath?"

Luxembabo felt troubled.

He is a desert person and understands desert people and understands what Du Ruo means.

It can’t get worse anyway, right?

Shahai never lacks for a try.

He was a little embarrassed: "What do you mean?"

"Cooperate, my friend, or just be a little bit more, I'm asking you to pay protection money."

Du Ruo became straightforward, very straightforward, too straightforward.

"Either we cooperate to make money, create a clever name in the name of war, pay taxes and donations, and split [-]/[-] afterwards; or we start fighting, I will make a quick buck immediately, tie you up as a meat ticket, and go to the legacy of the God King."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Obviously." Du Ruo smiled and said, "I know what you are worried about, the Teaching Council, right? You don't care about Sha Hai, you only care about the impact of Sha Hai's affairs on your interests. So you don't have a fighting force like A Ru If you are trying to win over others and are unwilling to cooperate, you are preparing to become our enemy. You know, what Candice means is what I mean, we don’t rob the poor!”

Luxembabo frowned and looked Du Ruo up and down, while Candice stood up from her seat and came behind her.

The attitude is clearly the same.

His attitude softened: "I can provide a batch of cheap food that represents friendship..."

Du Ruo's expression became gloomy, with murderous intent.

"You are humiliating me, humiliating Aru, and you want to fight with us."

"How can this be humiliation? Waste of food!"

"I'm here to make money, not beg for food, but you treat me like a perfunctory beggar. What I want is a way to make money."

Another country bumpkin who wants to make money in the rainforest.

Lucenbabo laughed in his heart, the king of the sand sea is indeed such a thing, it doesn't matter where he is from.But he was not prepared to refuse Du Ruo, because Du Ruo's proposal just dispelled one of his concerns.

If he doesn't have what he wants, he will find it difficult. After all, no matter how much he despises the joke of the King of Sand Sea, he is still the person Aru approves of.

A real confrontation can still make Luxembabo miserable and even threaten his life. Just like wild beasts, you can laugh at them and look down on them, but their sharp teeth and claws are their deterrence and capital.

The beast must be provided with sufficient and stable food so that the beast is willing to enter the cage.

He thought this with some complicated emotions, and loudly shouted: "Okay, I agree, I agree, don't hurt me!"

Come on, no matter how you want to make money, once you join, you can no longer be free as before. Even Aru must enter the Sumeru system of the rain forest-the sea of ​​sand and become restrained.

There are no exceptions.

After all, it is the rainforest that dominates all this.

After all, the people behind the Order are gods.

And it's too young. It's really young. Can I promise you now, but I won't be able to regret it later?After leaving Aru and going to Kavanyi, who are you?

Du Ruo was indeed deceived, and his face turned from cloudy to clear: "Very good, we are friends again, then let's discuss the supply chain issue."

Chapter 81 High-end public opinion war

Five days later, after re-designing the new airship plan based on the test flight data, Du Ruo received the first batch of supplies supported by the 30-man group, including food, ore, and alchemical materials, as well as the manpower they sent.

A team of more than a hundred beasts of burden and more than three hundred members of the Gilded Brigade entered Aru.

The former is sugar coating, the latter is cannonball.

To prevent Aru from really surrendering to the legacy of the God King, and conversely attacking Bianka Wanyi, of course it can also be regarded as having evil intentions. When an opportunity is found, they will cooperate inside and outside to capture Aru.

"It's a big deal."

Who on the sand sea doesn't covet the richness of the rainforest? Candice couldn't help but marvel at what they could easily do.

"Bulk cargo transactions are like this, but Shahai didn't have the channels to digest these resources in the past." Du Ruo has also seen bigger scenes, not the kind of transportation relying on human and animal power.

"I'll probably get more than twenty materials for blimps this time. It's hard to tell next time, but I'm only going to use them to try out larger airships. Small blimps are actually not very practical. Candice, what do you think?"

Candice raised her head and looked at the caravan entering the village. The Aru villagers carrying supplies were also shuttled around them. Then she looked over and said: "It feels like there is a huge gap."

"This is a manifestation of the strength of the rain forest. It is only a part, but it can easily mobilize materials of this scale to give away for free... and although the sand sea looks huge, I am afraid that if they are all added up, it cannot even compare to one-tenth of the size of the rain forest. superior."

"And gods, no wonder you haven't told me what method you plan to use to defeat the God King's legacy tactically. If you can't strengthen Aru's power, one or two victories are completely meaningless!"

The 30-man group can side with Aru and suppress the Legacy of the God King, or of course the other way around.

Or, suppress them all.

Du Ruo didn't refute her, that was the truth.

too close.

The straight-line distance between Aru and Kavanyi does not exceed the maximum straight-line distance between north and south Tongliao, which is the unique-shaped Dante's distance, which is nearly [-] kilometers.

As far as the 'caravan' in front of us is concerned, they naturally do not go in a straight line, but with the ability of the beast of burden, it can arrive in three days at the fastest and five days at most if it is maintained in good condition, and it can take about eight days to go back and forth. And if The destination of the caravan is the Oasis of Plenty, and it takes more than half a month to reach it. Even if the road conditions are not smooth, it will take less than a month.

This distance is also the reason why the rainforest has given up direct control of the desert. The farthest sea of ​​nectar and flowers does not mention the safety issues along the way. Just a round trip takes half a year, and the cost of control is too high.

Aru is different. Beating Aru doesn't take much effort. It's a spanking on a rainy day. You can try it when you have free time.

This distance is also very convenient for storing some experimental subjects (madmen) that may be used.

Du Ruo thought about that and saw that the people in the caravan were gradually unloading the goods. These people would not leave and would be stationed in Aru. After the leader entered the village, he came to take a look:

"I am Halwani. I am in charge of the caravan. Please take care of me next time."

The one he looked at was Candice, and Golden Eyes was the big shot.

Candice looked at Du Ruo, who said calmly: "Aru welcomes you, and please abide by Aru's rules. Otherwise, Aru will not welcome those who break the rules."

"clear."

Halwani looked at Du Ruo again, but didn't care much.

He is obviously not a businessman and has come with a mission. He currently has no plans to conflict with Aru, but there is no need for more contact.

They even provide their own food and water, and need nothing more than a place to stay.

He simply divided a piece of barren land near the dancing sand in the north of the village for them to station, and Du Ruo then invested in the research and development of new airships.

He also has some experience with cargo balloons for reference. It is not that Yulin has not considered the development of air transport. After all, scholars are idle and there is no way to break through theoretical knowledge. It is still possible to do some fancy work in practical applications.

But the rainforest is really not suitable for the development of air transportation. It rains more than 300 days out of 200 days a year. River transportation is sufficient, and navigation has developed even more.

In theory, air transportation is more suitable for the sand sea, but if it really develops... sandstorms are still too dangerous.

Just like what Du Ruo had experienced, a beast as big as a beast of burden could be swept up into the sky, not to mention the airship that was just hovering in the sky. I'm afraid there would be no bones left...

Unless the level is increased.

The most terrifying sandstorms in the sand sea can reach thousands of meters, but generally a hundred meters is enough to be terrifying. If airships want to develop, their sailing altitude must exceed 6000 meters, where there are fewer complex weather phenomena.

And this touches upon the prohibition of the Teaching Order. The Teaching Order has always severely punished the exploration of things outside the universe. In addition, Gao Tian is also regarded as a sensitive area, and not many scholars are willing to explore it.

In short, Du Ruo's next goal is this, a medium-sized airship that can fly at an altitude of more than 6000 meters. Perhaps the slime gel is not strong enough, and sandworm skin is needed.

Or, try to find a snake to try to cultivate biological materials?

Du Ruo, who harassed her but was repelled, hoped for a good outcome.

Speaking of which, it was time for me to try the second fusion cell surgery. This was not a one-step process. Like the original serum plan, it needed to be strengthened in stages.

From a week to a month, it is carried out on each new day.

The subsequent enhancements were not as intense as the first one, and were closer to the original serum plan. The development of genetic potential based on the already fused parts of Du Ruo was also an improvement.

The people in the village have become more complicated, and there may be some "frustrated" smart people colluding with both inside and outside. He has to find a safer place to perform the surgery.

Leave Aru and return to the relatively closed Shengke Village with more pure people.

Du Ruo is very busy.

Even so, he does the little things he can in his daily life.

Windmill factory!

The iron furnace is working endlessly, and the clang of the forging hammer is stronger and more powerful than the song of the treasure hunter.

While inspecting them, Du Ruo casually chatted with the workers around him—all of them were enterprising people who were willing to come to Shenggu Village from Aru and work as apprentices in the factory.

"I remember your name is Mathieu. You were originally a blacksmith in Aru Village. You wanted to know the technology of windmill hammer forging. How is your research going?" Du Ruo didn't block the technology at all, and he welcomed learning.

The latter smiled honestly: "It's still a long way off. In fact, these forging hammers can only do some heavy work. What is really powerful is your alchemy, Mr. Du."

thumbs up.

"I have never met anyone with more advanced alchemy skills than you."

"That's because you don't know enough." Du Ruo said with a smile.
