Utopia

So another three months passed, and Princess Jiaqi, who had finally completed the actual combat training in Lengchuan City, was able to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the palace and take care of her mother who was about to die, and have a good talk with her mother.

"You only remember me now, your mother?"

"I..."

"Alas! I don't want to say too much about you, knowing that you are fighting and killing outside."

"Uh..."

"Still a younger sister."

"Huh?"

"Don't be so surprised, I know it myself. Maybe I can't even give birth to a younger brother in this life to show you."

"Why? Father, his other wives..."

"The reason is your grandmother. She has been feeding me all kinds of drugs since I was a child, Jiaqi, and your three younger sisters will be implicated by me."

"Implicated?"

"Yes."

At this time, Her Majesty the Queen, who was lying on the bed, told her eldest daughter about her childhood. As the eldest daughter and the Crown Prince, Lai Ting Jiaqi's eyes were getting bigger and bigger, and her mouth was completely unable to close.

"Mother, this... this..."

"I was originally a vase. The family originally hoped that my two brothers would be the masters of the family, and I was used as a tool to win over a friendly family. At the same time, I was also a weapon to prevent a friendly family from producing male offspring."

"Weapon?"

Princess Jiaqi couldn't believe what her mother said. However, it turned out that there was indeed some abnormality in her appearance and bloodline.

However, she still shook her head. The mother's past cannot be changed, but it does not mean that the mother now has to bear some things that should not be there.

Besides, the younger sister is the younger sister. Anyway, it is not uncommon for the throne to be directly inherited by the eldest daughter. What's more, in the Old Continent, the Iron Fist Empire merchant family, which has been baptized by the two industrial revolutions and the struggle between the nobles and the common people, has not had many cases of women inheriting the family business.

Some wealthy and powerful tycoons like to use the female members of the family to recruit sons-in-law.

That's right, these rich and powerful guys recruit sons-in-law to work for their groups.

Compared with reputation, merchants who value practical interests have done many things that are contrary to the primogeniture system that is generally practiced in the world.

The reason is that merchants rarely do things that require "effort". As long as you have a smart head, many business matters can be solved.

For example, Turan Company, which is relatively famous on the southern border of the Kingdom of Negan, the storekeeper and even the main employees of this company are women. And until now, the company has not lost any performance to other male-run peers.

At the same time, not only the security industry, but also various stores in the streets and alleys are run by female members. At least for now, no one thinks there is anything wrong with women doing business.

Even in the military academy, she herself is a cook. In addition to her first-class cooking skills, her combat skills are no worse than those of male soldiers.

It's just that as a cook, she is also the crown prince of the Kingdom of Negan, and no one wants to see her rushing to the front line to fight the enemy.

"Let's not talk about this. Are you still communicating with that Bei An through letters?"

"Yes. But I don't know if he is too busy these days and has not replied at all. If possible, I want to..."

"Don't even think about it. You have to take care of me."

"Huh?"

"Your father... It's better not to take care of him than to let him take care of me."

"Uh..."

Indeed, Jiaqi also knew that her father didn't know how to do this. When she was still in her mother's womb, her father was busy resisting the invasion of the Black Crow Principality in Blackwater Town. As a result, taking care of her mother...

It's better not to mention it.

"Tell me. Have you ever..."

"Mother, I don't even know what he looks like."

In fact, as she said herself, she and Bei An are pen pals. But he...

Obviously, Bei An is currently in a very tangled stage of how to make gun barrel steel.

He didn't make the 75mm caliber gun barrel steel required by the master, but he made a batch of steel for large-caliber machine gun barrels or breastplates.

Although this is a bit embarrassing, Beian does not want his failed product to end up being re-melted. Especially in his notebook, such steel production process has been recorded.

If it really doesn't work... use it as an armor deck. At least such a finished product is definitely not afraid of the bite of ordinary jackals, tigers and leopards, and it is very likely to break their teeth.

Or use it to make knives, ensuring that you can dismember the natives with one knife even if you stand on the ground.

"No, which step is wrong."

Sitting at the desk in his room, Beian never wanted to go out again. After a busy day, he took a shower and it was impossible for him to continue to check the situation of molten steel in the boiler room.

You know, the temperature of molten steel is not a joke, especially the special boilers commonly used in their Negan Kingdom steel mills are not cheap.

For this reason, he looked at the white ceiling, with all kinds of doubts in his mind.

It's a pity that in the end, he still didn't figure out where the problem was. So, he picked up the previous failed steel ingot and communicated with the master over the phone.

"Hardness."

"Huh?"

"The steel was too hard when it was cast, which resulted in the finished product not being tough enough. And have you ever used a magnet?"

"Magnet? What is a magnet used for?"

"To detect whether the steel has completely melted."

So under the master's suggestion, Beian was busy taking notes. After the call, Omer found Sogen.

"From your tone, Omer, Beian is doing well?"

"Don't you see who is the master? But I didn't expect it. I didn't let you be my apprentice back then, but your son took the initiative to learn from me."

"So what? Do I have to pay your tuition for Beian?"

"Ha! If you are willing to pay, I don't mind. It's just... do you know that your son has made a sandwich steel alloy without a teacher?"

Compared to ordinary steel, the sandwich steel alloy mentioned by Omer can definitely be sold at an unimaginable sky-high price in the Kahn Empire. After all, the best talent of traditional cold weapons in the Old World and the Kingdom of Negan so far is this.

So Sogen suddenly had an idea. How much can a knife made of alloy sandwich steel sell for in the Kingdom of Golson?

After all, the ambition of the Golson Kingdom was known to everyone. The Golson Kingdom, eager to enrich the country and strengthen the army, would never let go of any technology that was beneficial to itself. Especially in the military aspect, he was quite confident.
