Master of Thermodynamics

"squeak……"

The office door was suddenly pushed open, Aisha was holding a large stack of documents, Rachel held a wooden tray with three glasses, and the two walked into the office one after the other.

Feeling the oncoming coolness, the sisters instantly got goose bumps all over their bodies. They put things on the table and walked to the coat rack in the corner of the room, planning to take a waistcoat and put it on.

Seeing the two of them being too cold to bear, Angela chuckled:

"Is the temperature of the air conditioner adjusted too low?"

Rachel just wanted to nod and say yes, then Angela said again:

"I always think that in this kind of weather, wearing a blanket and blowing on the air conditioner is the most pleasant thing, although it is a waste of magic stone..."

Rachel opened her mouth. She wanted to say "It's fine if you know", but when she thought of how sharp the lady's methods were, she decided to shut up.

just forget it……

A wise man once said that if you want to live longer than ordinary people, you must learn to be more silent than ordinary people...

In the past few months, Rachel has deeply realized that confronting Miss Consul, or even speaking backwards, will not end well. The final result will probably be tossed severely by the other party.

If she really said that, based on what she knew about the consul lady, this lady would probably find an excuse to let herself represent the government affairs office to inspect the cold storage project that the institute is currently conducting.

Haha, don't you think the air conditioner is low in temperature? Then feel the low temperature of tens of degrees below zero! At that time, will you still feel that the temperature of the air conditioner is low?

After several losses, Rachel finally learned how to behave.

At this moment, she shrank her eggs shamefully.

Not only that, she also learned to kneel and lick.

She nodded in agreement and said with a smile:

"Miss Archon, can enjoy the feeling of spring in the summer. Isn't this the original intention of Lord Lord to let the air conditioner be developed? So I don't think this is a waste."

Aisha just watched with cold eyes. After seeing this scene, she sighed and shook her head insignificantly.

Rachel picked up another glass from the tray and lifted the lid to reveal the white greasy and greasy substance filled with dangdang. Then she inserted a delicate silver spoon into it and placed it graciously in front of Angela.

"This is ice cream made in the kitchen. It has been frozen in the refrigerator for an hour. Please taste it..."

Angela picked up a ball of ice cream with a silver spoon, stuffed it into the flaming red lips, savoring it for a moment, she sighed with great satisfaction, and then showed a little regret.

She said quietly:

"In terms of the fineness of the taste, it is still not as good as the ice cream made by Renault..."

But looking at the meditation in her eyes, I don't know whether she is savoring the taste of ice cream or missing someone in the distance.

This time, Angela's comments won the sincere approval of sister Aisha. The two of them were talking about the difference between the original version and the pirated version while tasting their own ice cream.

"It feels like the cream is not stirred evenly..."

"There seem to be small lumps in the cream..."

After the first refrigerator was moved into the Lord’s Mansion, enjoying a cup of delicious ice cream every afternoon has become a regular show for Miss Consul and Sister Aisha.

In the past, although the three of them could also enjoy ice cream, it was only when Renault stayed on the island. Most of the time, Renault was all over the world. They could only think about the taste of ice cream in their dreams.

However, with the advent of the magic refrigerator, ordinary people can easily make ice cream, making it no longer just the patent of a certain lord.

This is the power of (magic energy) technology.

To some extent, every technological innovation is directly equivalent to productivity innovation.

The advancement of productivity will eventually change everyone's life, no matter how high or low, whether it is the aristocratic aristocracy, or the lowest common people, will benefit from it.

Magic Refrigeration Technology is the most typical example.

Although it hasn't been around for a long time, it has already brought about significant changes.

The civilians at the lowest level are blowing the soil air conditioner (ice cube + fan), the middle class has ice water to enjoy, and the top level is enjoying the ice cream that ordinary people have never heard of, and blowing the air conditioning that ordinary people can't imagine. It was a life that the king could not even imagine.

Even children have a kind of delicacy they want to eat, and the counters selling popsicles in department stores have become a place of bliss for every child to think about it day and night.

This is only the initial embryonic stage of magic refrigeration technology. Over time, if the technology develops to a mature stage, the entire human world will surely undergo earth-shaking changes.

In Renault's expectation, like the earth in different time and space, every household refrigerator air conditioner is far from the limit of magic refrigeration technology.

In terms of miniaturization and miniaturization, Magic Technology has a huge advantage.

Imagine if the volume of the rune group is reduced to the extreme, if the precision machining ability is also greatly improved, and the volume of the magic fan is greatly reduced, then can a "portable small air conditioner" be made, all the time, Can you enjoy air-conditioning anytime, anywhere?

of course!

If the technology develops further, we can create awesome “miniature” air conditioners and install them on clothes, shoes, and hats to maintain a constant temperature forever. Just think about it in your head, isn’t it enough for people? Excited?

of course!

As a mechanical dog native to the earth, Renault is convinced that his mission to travel to another world is not to fight monsters and upgrade, nor to kill the black orcs, but to use technology to transform the world.

Saving the world or something is at best a by-product of technological development.

One day, when Renault launches fighter jets and even shocking spaceships, in the face of these "Zenith Star Technologies", the Black Orcs will not even count as scum, and the bomber will be wiped out.

As for the legendary demons, the demons who are suspected of destroying the prehistoric magical civilization, as long as they dare to come, he will break his wrists with them at that time, and see if the devil’s minions are sharper, or the technology of Master Lei is better. awesome.

Renault believes from beginning to end that the greatest benefit of the upright ranks or the dominating ranks is the long lifespan. If he can live 300 years or even 400 years, he would like to know whether he can lead human beings in other worlds and conquer the sea of ​​stars.

That's right, the starry sky above.

He also wanted to know what the two moons revolving around the alien human planet, Ya'an and Eva, looked like.

He even wanted to know how many planets there are in the solar system where the human planet in the alien world is located, and when can he go to those planets for a walk, or simply engage in interstellar colonization.

As for further goals, such as deep space exploration outside the alien solar system, he didn't think so much yet.

However, as to the ambitions in the heart of Lord Lord, San, the girl who is closest to him, did not know at all. At this time, the three of them were eating ice cream happily and talking about work affairs at the same time.

"I heard that people from the Department of Industry are planning to apply to the Office of Government Affairs to increase their salary by 20%, because the salary of the island guard team is too high. In the recent fourth batch of public conscription, many apprentices from the mechanical processing plant have signed up. Now, many factory managers complained again and again..." Aisha smiled and said an anecdote.

"The treatment of the island guard team is really good. This time, Lord Lord has deliberately increased the overseas allowance to 10 silver nars/month. I estimate that the combined income of each team member exceeds 40. Yinnar, in the Tide Islands, this is definitely a first-class high salary..." Rachel echoed.

Angela stuffed a scoop of ice cream in her mouth, curled her lips and said:

"Even if Stirling, the director of the Department of Industry, submits the application, I will not approve it... In the past few months, 300 official island guards have died 4 people, disabled 8 people, and the casualty rate is as high as 4%. The danger is much higher than the apprentices in the factory."

"I think Renault is right. The players are trading their lives for money. It is a matter of course to get a high salary..."

Aisha suddenly thought of something and said with a smile:

"I heard Sterling complained in private. He thinks Lord Lord is too keen on military expansion. Why go to the Continent of Glow to fight for other kingdoms? It is better to guard your own territory. Anyway, Haichao is far away from the mainland. , The black orcs can't find us either..."

Li Mang flashed past Angela's eyes, she couldn't help but hammered the table, made a "bang", and asked angrily:

"It's a short-sighted idiot. How can there be such a person in the Government Affairs Office? Renault has clearly said that to rescue the Thousand Lakes Kingdom is to buy time for mankind... Aisha, please remember it for me and find a chance to kick Sterling. Get out of the government affairs office!"

After a pause, she deliberately emphasized again:

"In the civil service group, it is absolutely allowed to have anyone inconsistent with the will of the lord. Renault entrusts the affairs of the territory to us, and we must take care of the territory for him."

Aisha and Rachel nodded heavily, and then the two looked at each other with eloquence, and they couldn't help being a little funny.

Every time someone criticized the Lord Lord, this shrewd and powerful lady consul, like a cat whose tail was trampled on, became very emotional in an instant, and she never recovered her first calm.

The two couldn't help but began to mourn the hapless Mr. Sterling.

It is foreseeable that, according to the usual methods of the consul lady, this guy will soon fall into the cloud, from a Mr. Secretary who everyone envy, to a civilian, and all the factories controlled by the City Affairs Department will no longer be hired. Sterling.

In fact, this Mr. Sterling is quite conscientious and manages the entire Department of Industry in an orderly manner. He may not dare to use actions to fight against the lord, just because he said a few more words, he fell to this end.

This is such a poor guy...

Then the conversation between the three focused on the island guard team.

"Aisha, the third batch of 1,000 players recruited more than a month ago, how are they training now?" Angela asked.

"The Director of the Recruit Training Department Ronald said that the first phase of training is about to end, and they can be sent to the base island next week for the second phase of training." Aisha quickly replied.

"Add in the fourth batch of 1,500 people to be recruited, and the island guard team will swell to nearly 3,800 by that time, and the total number of the army will exceed 5,000, including the relevant logistics personnel." Aisha said again.

"I always feel that Lord Lord is too eager. The current population of the territory is only a little over 50,000, and the military-civilian ratio has been out of balance. It may be a bit difficult to raise such a large army." Rachel interjected.

"Accounts are not calculated like this. You have to consider the rate of increase of new immigrants. I have checked the demographic report. Recently, there are 12,000 new immigrants in the territory every month. After the fourth batch of team members are trained, the total population of the territory will be It will be close to 80,000 people, and the military-civilian ratio is still within the normal range." Aisha retorted.

"Yes, we use the most advanced industrialized production, and the production efficiency is far higher than that of other human kingdoms. I think the territory is very rich in materials, not to mention 5,000 people, even 10,000 people are more than enough." Angela agreed.

"Renault also has his difficulties. Judging from the news sent back from Copernicus Port recently, the situation in the Thousand Lakes Kingdom is becoming more and more tense, and war may break out at any time. Renault hopes that there will be a strong enough force to interfere with mankind at any time. The war between the black orcs..."

Base island.

This island, about 150 kilometers away from the mainland, has long since restored its original and wild appearance.

I have to admit that since Renault became the lord, under his subtle influence, the people of Hai Chao led a faint "infrastructure madman" style.

After several months of hard work by the island guard team and more than 200 workers, a wharf with 10 berths, a cement plant and a grain processing plant have been built here.

In addition, there are dozens of dormitories and warehouses on the island, and a farm with an area of ​​more than 10 hectares, which is used to grow vegetables for the daily consumption of the people on the island. Today's base island is quite "small but complete." taste.

The reason for the construction of this cement plant is that the team members discovered a lime mine while exploring the island. Considering that there are so many construction projects, Renault simply decided to build a cement plant so as not to transport cement from the ocean tides all the way, which would take time, labor, and occupation. The capacity of the merchant fleet.

The main fuel for the cement plant is wood on the island. No one has ever set foot on the base island anyway. The wood resources are unimaginable. There are huge trees more than 40 meters high. In addition, there are shrubs everywhere, enough for the factory to use for 10 years. .

The quick-drying cement produced by the cement plant was directly used to build dormitories, warehouses, roads and other infrastructure. Renault even asked people to build a lighthouse near the dock for night navigation.

As for the grain processing plant, strictly speaking, it is actually a marine fish drying plant and an instant dry food plant.

At the request of Renault, the Government Affairs Department dispatched two professional fishing boats to fish on the base island. Some of the marine products caught by the fleet were made into instant dry food to be used as strategic reserve grain, and the other part was dried into salty food. The dried fish is sold to the nearest Thousand Lake Kingdom, or in exchange for wheat and other food materials.

In Haichaoling, the price of dried salted fish is only 2 copper nars/kg. The slightly wealthy residents rarely buy it. Everyone would rather buy fresh fish, and only the poorest civilian households would buy it.

However, in the Port of Copernicus and several nearby ports, Goode's squad shouted a "high price" of 10 copper nar/kg, which was five times that of the territory.

But something unexpected happened to everyone.

These Haichao brand dried salted fish have received a huge welcome. Every time the goods arrive at the port, they will be snapped up by the local chamber of commerce and sold out in the blink of an eye.

In the alien world, on the one hand, because marine fish are generally large-scale, they are strong and strong, and on the other hand, human fishing technology is backward. When fishermen are forced to go fishing, the probability of their fishing nets being broken is extremely high. The gain is very little.

Even if luck is better, I used a small broken fishing net sewed by my own house to catch a 2 to 3 meter long "medium and small" marine fish. Their strength in the sea is not small at all. It is not as good as you imagined to get it up. It's easy, maybe the net breaks the fish to escape, or the fish is dragged into the sea.

This is not the most dangerous thing, the most terrifying thing is the predator.

Even if the fishermen are careful and careful, they only wander near the sea, do not approach large fish schools, and do not go to deep water areas, but even people and boats disappear without a trace, things still happen frequently.

There are so many fierce sea beasts in the sea. With the pitiful small broken sampans of the fishermen, a predator over 10 meters in length can easily overturn the fishing boat.

Therefore, fishermen from other worlds are indeed high-risk occupations.

Because of this, despite the abundant resources in the ocean, mankind is out of reach.

For safety reasons, most fishermen have set their sights on seaweeds. After all, seaweeds do not eat people. The fish that appear near seaweeds are also herbivorous fishes, and the chance of encountering predators is low.

Because fewer people are engaged in fishermen's profession, coupled with the fact that there are fewer fish, this also allows coastal residents to eat seaweed more often than sea fish.

On the other hand, the scarcity is more expensive, and the output is less. Naturally, the price of marine fish is not cheap. Even the most common marine fish, the price of a kilogram of fresh fish is about 8 copper nars, and dried salted fish. Generally higher than 14 copper nars.

Therefore, when the high-quality and cheap Haichao brand dried salted fish appeared on the market, everyone went crazy.

In the eyes of the turtles of the Thousand Lakes Kingdom, they are all made of high-quality marine fish. They are especially head, tail, and guts removed. They are almost all fish. The dry goods are full of sincerity and the quality of the fish is amazing , It is the dried salted fish in the dried salted fish.

What is even more surprising is that their price is only 10 copper nar/kg, which is simply too cheap.

Where to find such a good thing?

buy!

Fools don't buy it!
