"Zhi..."
The door of the office is suddenly pushed open. Aisha is holding a large stack of documents. Rachel is holding a wooden tray with three glasses. They walk into the office one by one.
Feeling the coolness coming from their faces, the two sisters suddenly got goose bumps. They put things on the table and went to the clothes rack in the corner of the room, intending to take a jacket and put it on.
Seeing that both of them could not stand the cold, Angela chuckled:
"is the air conditioning temperature too low?"
As soon as Rachel nodded her head and said yes, Angela said:
"I always feel that wearing blankets and air conditioning is the most comfortable thing in this weather, although it''s a waste of magic stone..."
Rachel opens her mouth. She wants to say, "you know, I''m fine." but she decides to shut up when she remembers how sharp the young lady is.
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
Over the past few months, Rachel has deeply realized that it will not come to a good end if she confronts with the consul, or even talks in the opposite direction. The final result is that she will be severely tossed by the other party.
If she really said that, with her understanding of Miss consul, she would probably find an excuse to inspect the cold storage project of the Institute on behalf of the administrative department.
Hehe, don''t you think the temperature of the air conditioner is low? Then go to feel the low temperature of dozens 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 to behave well.
At this moment, she shamefully shrinks her eggs.
Not only that, she learned to kneel and lick.
She nodded with approval and said with a smile:
"Miss consul, can you enjoy the spring in summer? Isn''t this the original intention of the Lord to let people develop air conditioning? So I don''t think it''s a waste. "
Aisha just looked on coldly. Seeing this behind the scenes, she sighed and shook her head.
Rachel picks up another glass from the tray, uncovers the lid and reveals the full white greasy contents. Then she inserts a delicate silver spoon into it and politely puts it in front of Angela.
"This is the ice cream made in the kitchen. It has been frozen in the refrigerator for an hour. Please have a taste of it..."
Angela picks up a ball of ice cream with a silver spoon, and puts it into her flaming red lips. After tasting it for a moment, she sighs with great satisfaction, and then shows some regret.
She said quietly:
"in terms of the delicacy of the taste, it''s still not as good as Renault''s hand-made ice cream..."
But looking at the thought in her eyes, I don''t know whether she is tasting ice cream or missing someone far away.
This time, Angela''s comments won the sincere approval of the Aisha sisters. While tasting their own ice cream, they talked about the difference between the original and the pirated version.
"I feel that the cream is not evenly stirred..."
"It seems that there are small lumps in the cream..."
When the first refrigerator was moved into the Lord''s house, every afternoon to enjoy a cup of delicious ice cream, has become a regular program of the consul lady and Aisha sisters.
In the past, although three people could enjoy ice cream, it was only when Renault stayed on the island. Most of the time, Renault was in waves all over the world. They could only dream about the taste of ice cream.
However, with the advent of magic refrigerator, ordinary people can easily make ice cream, so that it is no longer just the patent of a certain Lord.
That''s the power of technology.
To some extent, every scientific and technological innovation is directly equal to the innovation of productivity.
The progress of productive forces will eventually change everyone''s life, no matter how noble or humble, whether noble or the lowest common people, will benefit from it.
Magic refrigeration technology is the most typical example.
Although it did not appear for a long time, it has brought obvious changes.
The civilians at the bottom are blowing air-conditioning (ICE + fan), the middle class have ice water to enjoy, and the top class are enjoying ice cream that ordinary people have never heard of, and air-conditioning that ordinary people can''t imagine. This is a life that the king can''t imagine.
Even children have a kind of delicious food, and the popsicle counter in department stores has become a paradise for every child.
If this is the initial stage of human development, the whole world will only be transformed by the development of refrigeration technology.
In Renault''s expectation, like the earth in different time and space, every household''s refrigerator and air conditioner is far from the limit of magic energy refrigeration technology.
In terms of miniaturization and miniaturization, magic technology has great advantages.
Just imagine, if the volume of Rune group is reduced to the extreme, if the precision machining ability is greatly improved, and the volume of magic fan is also greatly reduced, can we create a "portable small air conditioner" that can enjoy air conditioning anytime, anywhere?of course!
If the technology is further developed, we can make a "mini" air conditioner which is powerful and powerful, and install it on clothes, shoes and hats to maintain a constant temperature forever. Is it exciting just to think about it in our mind?
Of course!
As a mechanical dog native to the earth, Renault firmly believes that his mission to cross the alien world is not to fight monsters and upgrade, nor to kill the black orcs, but to transform the world with science and technology.
Saving the world is at best a by-product of technological development.
One day, when Renault rolls out his fighters or even his heart shaking space carrier, the black orcs will not even be the dregs in front of these "zenith technology", and the missile players will be destroyed.
as for the legendary devil, the devil who has lost the awesome civilization of prehistoric times, if he dares to come, he will break his wrist with them and see if it is the devil''s paw or sharper, or the technology of Lei''s master.
From the beginning to the end, Renault believed that the greatest advantage of upanism or dominance is long life span. If he can live for 300 or even 400 years, he would like to know whether he can lead human beings from other worlds to conquer the sea of stars.
Yes, it''s the starry sky overhead.
He also wanted to know what the two moons, Ya''an and EVA, were like.
He would like to know how many planets there are in the solar system where alien human planets are located. When can he go for a walk on those planets in person, or even engage in interstellar colonization.
As for further goals, such as deep space exploration outside the alien solar system, he hasn''t thought so much about it yet.
However, for the ambition of the Lord''s heart, the three sisters who are closest to him have no idea. At this time, they are eating ice cream happily and talking about their work.
"I heard that people from the Department of industry are going to apply to the administrative department for a 20% increase in the salary limit, because the salary of the island protection team is too high. In the recent fourth batch of open recruitment, many apprentices from the mechanical processing factory signed up, causing many factory leaders to complain..." Aisha said an interesting story with a smile.
"The treatment of the island protection team is really good. This time, the Lord specially increased the overseas resident allowance to 10 Silver nals per month. I estimate that the monthly income of each member is more than 40 silver nals. In the Haichao islands, this is absolutely a first-class high salary..." Rachel echoed.
Angela shoved a spoonful of ice cream into her mouth and said,
"even if the Secretary for industry, Mr. Stirling, handed in the application, I would not approve it Over the past few months, four of the 300 official Island guards have been killed and eight disabled. The casualty rate is as high as 4%. The risk is much higher than that of the apprentices in the factory. "
"I think Renault is right. The players are exchanging their lives for money. It''s a matter of course to get a high salary..."
Aisha suddenly thought of something and said with a smile:
"I heard that Stirling had complained in private that he thought the LORD was too keen on military expansion. Why should he go to Huiguang to fight for other kingdoms? It''s better to keep your own territory. Anyway, the tide is far away from the mainland, and the black orcs can''t find us... "
Angela''s eyes flashed by. She couldn''t help hammering the table and making a "bang" sound. She angrily asked:
"what a shortsighted fool. How can there be such a person in the administration department? Renault clearly said that saving the kingdom of thousand lakes is to buy time for mankind Aisha, please write it down for me, and find a chance to kick Sterling out of the administration office! "
After a pause, she deliberately stressed:
"in the civil service group, it is absolutely allowed that anyone who is inconsistent with the will of the Lord, Renault will entrust us with the full power of affairs in the territory, so we must take care of the territory for him."
Aisha and Rachel nodded heavily, and then they looked at each other, which made them laugh.
Every time someone criticizes the Lord, the smart and capable lady consul, like a cat with its tail trampled on, becomes very excited and no longer calm.
They could not help but begin to observe a moment of silence for the unfortunate Mr. Stirling.
It can be predicted that this guy will soon fall into the clouds according to the usual means of the consul. He will become a civilian from an enviable chief executive, and all factories controlled by the administrative department will no longer employ Stirling.
As a matter of fact, Mr. Stirling is quite conscientious and has managed the whole industry department in an orderly manner. He may not dare to take action against the Lord, but just because he said a few more words, he came to this end.
This is a poor guy
Then the conversation among the three people focused on the island protection team.
"Aisha, the third group of 1000 players recruited more than a month ago, how is the training going now?" Angela asked.
"Ronald, director of the recruits training division, said that the first phase of training is coming to an end, and they will be sent to the base island next week for the second phase of training." Aisha replied quickly."In addition to the 1500 people to be recruited in the fourth batch, the island protection team will expand to nearly 3800 by then. With the relevant logistics personnel, the total number of troops will exceed 5000." Said Aisha.
"I always feel that the Lord is too eager. At present, the population of the territory is only over 50000, and the ratio between the army and the people is out of balance. I''m afraid it''s a bit difficult to support such a large army." Rachel interjected.
"It''s not like that. You have to consider the growth rate of new immigrants. I''ve looked up the demographic report. Recently, 12000 new immigrants are added to the territory every month. After the training of the fourth group of players, the total population of the territory will be close to 80000, and the military civilian ratio is still within the normal range." Elsa retorted.
"Yes, we use the most advanced industrial 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 5000 people, even 10000 people are more than enough." Angela agreed.
"Renault also has his difficulties. According to the recent news from Copernicus, the situation in Qianhu kingdom is becoming more and more tense, and war may break out at any time. Renault hopes to have a strong enough force to interfere in the war between human beings and black orcs at any time..."
The base island.
This island, about 150 kilometers away from the mainland, has not recovered its original and wild appearance.
It has to be admitted that since Renault became Lord, under his subtle influence, the sea tide has led the people to have the style of "infrastructure maniac".
After months of hard work by the island protection 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 is used to grow vegetables for the daily consumption of the people on the island. Today''s base island has the flavor of "sparrow is small and has five dirty organs".
The new cement plant was built because the team members found a lime mine while exploring the island. Considering the large number of construction projects, Renault decided to build a cement plant, so as not to transport cement from the sea tide, which would take time and effort, and also occupy the transport capacity of the merchant fleet.
The fuel of the cement plant is mainly the wood on the island. Anyway, no one has ever set foot on the base island. There are too many wood resources to imagine. Huge trees more than 40 meters high are everywhere, and shrubs are everywhere, which is enough for the plant to use for 10 years.
The quick drying cement produced by the cement plant is directly used to build infrastructure such as dormitories, warehouses and roads. Renault even asked people to build a lighthouse near the wharf for night navigation.
As for the grain processing plant, strictly speaking, it is actually a sea fish drying plant and a fast food dry food factory.
At Renault''s request, the administrative department dispatched two professional fishing boats to stay on the base island for fishing. Some of the seafood caught by the fleet were made into fast-food dry food and used as strategic reserve food, while the other part was dried into salted fish and sold to Qianhu Kingdom nearby, or in exchange for wheat and other food supplies.
In haichaoling, the price of dried salted fish is only 2 tongnalkg. The slightly wealthy residents seldom buy it. They prefer to buy fresh fish. Only the poorest families will buy it.
But in the port of Copernicus and several nearby ports, Goodall yelled a "high price" of 10 copper nals, which was five times as much as the territory.
But something unexpected happened.
These Haichao brand dried salted fish are very popular. 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, due to the large-scale marine fish, strong body and good mouth, on the other hand, the backward fishing technology of human beings, the fishermen who are forced to go out to sea have a great probability of fishing nets being damaged, and they often get little harvest.
Even if they are lucky enough to catch a 2-or 3-meter-long "small and medium-sized" sea fish with their own small broken fishing net, they are not so strong in the sea. It''s not as easy to get them up as they thought. If they can''t get it right, they will break the net and escape, or they will be pulled down by sea fish.
This is not the most dangerous thing. The most terrible thing is predators.
Even if the fishermen are more careful, they only wander in the coastal waters, not close to large fish schools, and do not go to deep water areas, but even the disappearance of people and boats is still a frequent occurrence.
There are too many ferocious sea animals in the sea. The fishermen''s small sampan can easily overturn the fishing boat if a predator more than 10 meters long comes.
Therefore, fishermen from other countries are really high-risk occupations. Every time they go out to sea, they are really playing with their lives.
Because of this, although the ocean is rich in resources, it is beyond the reach of mankind.
For the sake of safety, most fishermen focus on seaweed. After all, seaweed does not eat people, and the fish around seaweed are herbivorous, so they are less likely to encounter predators.
Because there are fewer fishermen and less fish, the coastal residents eat seaweed more often than sea fish.On the other hand, the price of sea fish is not cheap because of the scarcity of food and less production. Even for the most common sea fish, the price of a kilogram of fresh fish is about 8 copper nards, while the price of dried salted fish is generally higher than that of 14 copper nards.
So, when Haichao brand salted dried fish with good quality and low price appeared on the market, everyone was crazy.
, in the view of woodlouse, they are made of good marine fish, and they go to the top, tail and viscera. They are almost all fish, dry cargo is full of sincerity, and the quality of fish is amazing. It is completely dried salted fish in dried salted fish.
What''s more surprising is that their price is only 10 copper nals per kilogram, which is too cheap to be desired.
Where can I find such a good thing?
Buy it!
Fools don''t buy it!
