Utopia

Compared to the miserable state of Lieutenant Gao Ben who became a repairman, the King of the Kingdom of Yagan, Pablo Denoste, personally came to the west coast of the kingdom. Looking at the wreckage of the blown-up bridge and the buildings with magatama flags on the southern islands that the bridge should connect, he understood what it meant to be like a thorn in the back.

"Your Majesty, we have no way to carry out landing operations. Their cannons and warships have blocked our routes."

"That's because they have been staring at us! And our cannons can't hit their heads!"

With the advantages of strong ships, powerful guns and detection capabilities, the dog-headed troops completely suppressed the army of the Kingdom of Yagan outside Zhiluo Island.

Especially when an ironclad ship of the dog-headed tribe had appeared in front of the western border guards of the Kingdom of Yagan, and the guns on it were aimed at the castles and coastal defense positions of the Kingdom of Yagan.

"Yes."

"Yeah."

King Pablo had a helpless look on his face. He now knew what the bitter fruit of having a sea but no defense tasted like.

His cannons could not reach the kobolds, and the kobolds' ironclad ships could fire and destroy the castle he was in at any time.

He did not want to taste such pain, nor did he want his soldiers to taste it. The scene of the Zweiner Kingdom being filled with smoke and corpses everywhere had been specially depicted by painters, and the scene of a kobold cannonball blowing up a large number of Zweiner Kingdom soldiers was something he absolutely did not want to see.

After all, his bronze cannon only had a range of 300 steps, which was nothing compared to the kobolds' cannons that could accurately shoot beyond the line of sight.

Not to mention the kobolds' cannonballs...

To be honest, he had no idea what the kobolds' cannons and shells looked like.

He wanted to know more than anyone how the kobolds' weapons and equipment were made.

Obviously, what he did not know was the price the kobolds paid for their own ability to manufacture guns and weapons.

On the one hand, it was the oppression from the Iron Fist Empire, and on the other hand, it was the civil war among the pigmen. What the two gave the kobolds forced the kobolds to reform.

However, in the case of the Kingdom of Yagan, even Pablo, the thief who stole the country, knew one thing: reform is easy to say, but the problem is that there is no successful case in the vassal states of the Kahn Empire.

On the contrary, the civil war caused by the reform is an unspeakable pain for every vassal state.

Not everyone is willing to carry out reforms, and not everyone wants to see reforms. In particular, the Ascetic Church, which he dislikes the most and wants to be destroyed immediately, is a typical conservative group.

Even though he is actually a descendant of a branch of the Kahn royal family and a descendant of a monk of the Ascetic Church.

But precisely because he has an unspeakable relationship with the Ascetic Church, his attitude towards the Ascetic Church is getting worse day by day. In particular, the Ascetic Church has not had any means to completely prevent long-range attacks outside the field of vision so far.

And according to his actual experience, the shells fired by the dog-headed man from outside the field of vision cannot be easily defended by a simple spell shield. In particular, when the shells explode on the ground in front of the shield, the protected objects inside the shield will also be harmed.

Yes.

It was because he knew so much that he hated his family's true origin.

But there was no way.

His blond and blue-eyed appearance had told the world that he was a descendant of the Kahn royal family, and a traitor who had betrayed the royal family and the church.

In short, when he embarked on this path, he saw the ironclad ship with countless guns and cannons anchored on the southern island, and he knew that he would definitely not be able to take back the territory that originally belonged to the Kingdom of Yagan.

At the same time, in the palace of the Kingdom of Nigan, a spider with a metal shell that was only one meter tall but two meters long and wide became the object of attention of a group of officials.

"Everyone, this is one of the spoils collected from the Old World. It is said to be a relic of the Federation's expedition, a mechanical spider. Of course, after many disassembly studies by our research institute, the energy supply device and power device inside have failed, so please rest assured."

Accompanied by the explanation of one of the researchers, the concept of remote-controlled unmanned combat weapon system from the Old World entered the ears of members of Congress for the first time.

"Wait, that is to say, if we install explosives in this mechanical spider, and then let the spider find an opportunity to rush into the enemy's headquarters..."

"So far, the Iron Fist Empire has used self-destructing remote-controlled cars to carry out such combat methods against the town of the dog-headed people. But Your Excellency, the Iron Fist Empire's experiment was not very successful. They used twenty small cars, and only one successfully broke through the dog-headed people's defense line and self-destructed in front of a machine gun bunker."

"The dog-headed people have night vision capabilities, and the appearance of a self-destructing small car will easily attract their concentrated firepower attack."

"Yes. Therefore, our research institute was inspired and hopes to turn such a mechanical spider into a vehicle for transporting supplies."

"Carrying supplies... Oh? For mountain troops."

Due to the complex and changeable mountain environment, the terrain is obviously undulating, and the dense forests are blocking the way, Prime Minister Aiqi knows that the logistics supply of mountain troops has always been a difficult problem. Even if you know magic and know how to teleport, it is not a good solution. The garrison of mountain troops or other types of military operations require a lot of supplies and cannot rely on magic power for a long time.

So, when she looked at the eight legs of the mechanical spider, she knew in her heart that such "legs" were the most suitable type for crossing mountains and ridges. Ordinary wheeled or tracked, or even magnetic levitation ground vehicles, are not the best choice for crossing mountains and ridges. Especially the last one, magnetic levitation, if the road surface is not flat enough or even bumpy, rollover accidents will definitely not be few.

This is why the suspended ground vehicle has not become the first choice of the army to this day, but the tracked and wheeled vehicles have long been the military and police vehicles.

But here comes the problem.

How should the automatic spider vehicle be managed?

No matter how you look at it, this thing should not be monopolized by the army and used by itself. It is also very useful for the people. Especially now that the citizens of the Negan Kingdom prefer to live in the mountains, before the roads are fully opened, the cost of the Spider Vehicle is really too great (it is worth a lot just to transport materials).

At the same time, she has to think about one thing. Is it necessary for the arsenal to build a new production line for this? A new production line and related technical operators will cost money. How many Spider Vehicles will she need to make a profit by then...
