Master of Thermodynamics

After the Frederick family wandered under the ice sculpture for a few minutes, there was a commotion in the surrounding crowd, and a news spread quickly-the lord is about to announce a very important thing.

This news caused countless speculations, and many people gathered to discuss it, and the ice city suddenly became more lively.

Five minutes later, a figure appeared directly above the ice city, and a huge voice sounded.

"Dear residents of the Tide Islands, I am Lord Renault..."

The crowd immediately calmed down, and everyone tilted their heads up, listening attentively to Lord Lord's speech.

"Now is the last night of 745 years in the lunar and star calendar. Four hours later, we will usher in a new year."

"I can tell everyone with certainty that everyone's life will be better than this year, and the Haichao Islands will usher in a brighter future."

"Next, I will announce a newly formulated policy. It is the first and most important policy to be implemented in the new year."

"Starting from 746 years of the moon and stars, that is tomorrow, the Haichao Islands will officially implement the birth subsidy policy."

"Any family in the territory that has obtained official resident status, as long as they give birth to a child, they will receive a financial subsidy from the Government Affairs Office. The more they give birth, the more subsidy they will receive."

"If the family has one child, then the family will receive a subsidy of 1 silver nar/month, and if there are two children, the subsidy will reach 3 silver nars/month."

Hearing this, the crowd resounded one after another in exclamation.

Lord Lord actually wants to send money again!

And still send out money every month!

"If there are three children, in addition to the subsidy of 5 silver nars/month, when applying for public rental housing, they can stay in priority and stay free of charge. The Government Affairs Office does not charge you a penny!"

"After more than 3 children, the subsidy will increase to 3 silver nars for every additional child in the family. That is to say, the subsidy for 4 children is 8 silver nars/month, and the subsidy for 5 children is 11. Silver nar/month."

"In addition, the subsidy can be received until the child reaches 15 years old..."

Hearing the word "15 years old", the atmosphere in the ice city suddenly exploded.

If a child is given 2 silver dals per month, 24 silver dals can be obtained in 1 year, and 720 silver dals in 15 years. This is a huge sum of money!

Although this lord has been more benevolent than everyone thought, he was even more generous than everyone thought.

Many civilians couldn't help but knelt on one knee and began to pray in low voices.

The Fredericks and his wife were full of excitement. They looked at each other and said in unison: "Let's have another child..."

This account is easy to calculate. If you have one more child, you will not only get an extra 2 silver nars per month, but you can also get 4 silver nars per month for rent for public rental housing. In time, every month is 5 silver nars, and one year is 60 silver nars.

In this era, the cost of raising children is extremely low. The biggest expense is food. Food in the territory is very cheap. A child can only spend up to 20 silver nars per year. For the Fredericks and his wife, it can still fall a year. Earn 40 Silver Gnar.

Just for this huge sum of money, fools will not be born.

Therefore, as soon as the subsidy policy came out, childbirth became a profitable thing.

In Renault's view, this subsidy is not much at all. With the current population of the territory, the annual expenditure does not exceed 80 kinnals, which is just a drop in the bucket for him.

With such a small amount of money, it is simply too cost-effective to achieve the goal of a crazy population.

In the feudal era, too much population was a burden, but in the industrial era, population was a dividend. The larger the population, the more wealth that can be created, and a large part of this wealth belongs to Renault.

Moreover, in order to slaughter the black hybrids and occupy the whole world, there must be a sufficient population.

Therefore, whether from an economic point of view or a military point of view, exploding the population is an imperative plan.

Renault has made up his mind, let's talk about it for 100 years.

Lunar Ephemeris 746, the third day of the new year.

While the heat of the large-scale ice sculpture exhibition that the civilians talked about continued to ferment, the three-day New Year holiday was over, and the entire territory was once again in a state of full capacity operation.

In the heavy snow, a motorcade appeared on the snow-covered road.

The leading vehicle is a magic bulldozer, or a magic snowplow.

The bulldozing bucket in front of it was replaced with a strange V-shaped bucket, which was close to 5 meters in length and more than 2 meters in height.

When the snowplow is driving from the snow, the thigh-deep snow is directly shoveled, sliding to the sides along the V-shaped bucket, and accumulating on both sides of the road.

After the snowplow passed by, only a thin layer of thick snow remained.

In the past years, once there was heavy snow, the roads would become extremely difficult to pass. At most, sledge trucks could only be used to pull some lighter-weight goods, and bulky goods could not be transported at all.

But with the magic snowplow, the deep snow is no longer an obstacle. This powerful machine can easily open a channel in the snow.

And the speed of shoveling snow is quite fast. The driving speed of the snow shovel is as high as 25 km/h. It only takes more than 20 minutes to clear a road from the territory warehouse to the dock. If it is cleaned by manpower alone, 100 people will be exhausted. It can’t be done in one day.

Compared with the first-generation bulldozer, this construction machine has made a lot of improvements.

The cockpit has become a fully enclosed cockpit, and is no longer a silly thing with its own "panoramic sunroof"; the chassis is a new generation of chassis, the main structure has been optimized, and the shock absorption system and brake system have been added; the tires have changed It has become a solid tire with metal wheels and is no longer a strange wooden wheel.

The shock absorption system is the same as that on the 4-wheel ATV, just a few sets of springs. The braking system is the latest achievement of the Rune Research Institute. With it, the brakes do not need to rely on the foot anymore, just a finger movement is enough.

Thanks to the magic black technology, this braking system is very simple. After activating the "brake rune square plate", that is, the rune square plate that controls the braking system, the magic motive will instantly stop rotating and lock the wheels to reach the brakes. Effect.

Unlike the braking system on earth cars, it requires a series of extremely complicated things such as brakes, brake pedals, master brake cylinders, and various pipelines.

This brake system also has a parking brake function. After activating another rune group on the brake rune square, a miniature magic motive will drive the "locking mechanism" to bite the wheel, and there is no need to move it when parking. The stone came to jam the wheel.

In addition, the rune board that controls the magic motive has been upgraded to the second-generation rune set [Rotation]. One driver can drive two magic motives at the same time. The [Mental Resonance] rune set is removed, no need for two big men. Use the hand-in-hand "engagement position" to drive.

The above improvements have greatly enhanced driving comfort and convenience, which can be seen from the driver’s expression.

He held the control handle with both hands, his right thumb was close to the "master control rune square board" that controls the magic motive, and his left hand was attached to the "brake rune square board", leaning comfortably on the back of the seat, with a similar expression on his face. Cozy.

The vibration of the magic snow shovel is mostly eliminated by the shock absorption system. It is no longer the same as before. After driving for a few kilometers, the buttocks will be numb, and the lower body will not be felt after driving for 2 hours.

Following the magic snowplow, there are 4 magic tractors, each of which is pulling 2 trailers, slowly moving forward in the snow.

This is the fleet that transports goods.

Inside each trailer over 8 meters long, boxes of daily necessities such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, candles, meat floss balls, as well as luxury items such as magic clocks, and a large number of metal products, such as scissors, kitchen knives, and metal, are piled up. Pot and so on.

These large carts of goods will be sold to human gathering places in the south, in exchange for the endless source of Kinnar and...a "slave" for the territory.

In addition, there are a large number of weapons samples, such as swords, guns, armors, and shields.

In the maritime trade of other worlds, arms are one of the most important commodities. This batch of weapons will be used as samples, displayed or presented to interested buyers.

With the excellent performance of Haichao Steel, Renault believes that these weapons will surely conquer the aliens and obtain a large number of production orders for the territory.

The raw material steel is not in the list of goods, because in the early stage when the capacity is tight, it is a fool to directly sell Haichao steel, and selling metal products can maximize profits.

After arriving at the port of Odin Island, the dockers immediately started to work. Through the "magic sling", boxes of goods were transported to the sailing boat docked in the berth.

After the transportation convoy ran three rounds between the warehouse and the dock, the cargo warehouses of the Odin and Haichao were filled up, and the waterline was significantly lowered.

Half an hour later, in the gaze of the lady consul and a large number of civilians, a high-pitched voice echoed on the dock.

"Your lord has an order, set sail..."

The road to gold at sea has officially set sail.
