I didn't open it in another world, I'm sure

At this time, there are two Ginocol peasant women employed by Dongye in the store who are sorting out the shelves.

When the two peasant women saw Nangong Xiao who came suddenly, their bodies stiffened and they knelt down to salute.

"Stop. Dawn City has abolished kneeling and worshiping on other occasions except for sacrifices. Bending or bowing is the daily routine."

Nangong Xiao's stop made the two peasant women a little bit at a loss.

Nangong Xiao didn't care, but asked, "Is there any muxiangguo?"

"Hui, Hui Lord, there are..." One of the more courageous peasant women hurriedly took a bunch of muxiangguo from the rattan frame behind the shelf.

Nangong Xiao only took two, one for Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, and one for herself, and then asked, "How is the price of the grain here? It's cheaper than the one in Jinokor City, right?"

Seeing that the city lord seems to be very kind, the courageous peasant woman spoke a little more quickly, "Going back to the city lord, it's really cheap, and it's twice as cheap! If it wasn't for the fact that the store has not officially opened, I would like to buy some!"

Listening to the excited tone of the peasant woman, Nangong Xiao knew that this price was attractive enough to ordinary people.

"That's good, do it well." After Nangong Xiao said, he took out a few copper coins from the space ring, put them on the counter, and then walked out of the shop with Xiazhiqiu Shiyu without looking back.

After regaining consciousness, I looked at the copper coins on the counter. The two peasant women didn't know what to do for a while. After all, the shop hadn't opened yet, and the city lord had gone away again. They didn't have the guts to take a few coins. The copper coins chased after them, and the last two peasant women had no choice but to keep the copper coins and hand them over to the president of the chamber of commerce—Chairman Nangong Dongye in the evening.

Leaving the agricultural store, Nangong Xiao and Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu ate the muxiang fruit while walking to the arsenal in the distance.

Swallowing a mouthful of sweet pulp, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu said, "Ah Xiao, I always feel that the druids in this world are too foul. You just take the time to go to those wastelands a few times, and you can plant tens of thousands of people. Nearly a month's food demand, and it's the kind with a very rich variety."

"It's us qualified people who foul, not druids."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Nangong Xiao explained, "I confirmed with Qiuye that the druids in this world can also produce plants, but the efficiency is not one-tenth of mine, and the consumption is still very high. I really want to let the druids plant the land It is not a problem for a high-level druid to satisfy hundreds of people's food, but if there are more, it will be a bit powerless. And the number of druids is simply less than the giant pandas on our earth, so let druid It is simply not realistic for Yi to farm.

What's more, normal professionals' mana recovery speed basically depends on each person. Different physiques have different recovery speeds, but they are all many times slower than us qualified people, and excessive consumption of mana will have a negative effect on the professional's body. The mental state is greatly impaired.

Akiba said that she used to fight a high-level magical beast desperately in order to upgrade from expert level to master level. Although she won in the end and passed the pressure of death to break through to master level, the price was that the excessive consumption of mana caused her spirit to lose weight. Suffering great damage, she lay down for a full week and was weak for more than ten days before she recovered slowly.

But us qualified people are different, we only need to consume MP, which is energy value, to use any magic.After we run out of MP, we only need to change into equipment that increases the speed of MP recovery to quickly recover MP.If you are in a hurry, you can also eat food that increases MP recovery speed, or even drink potions.

If our qualified persons were in the same situation as Akiba at that time, then the qualified persons would be able to recover in just a few minutes by taking the big red and spirit recovery potion, or pouring a bottle of purple comprehensive recovery potion.

This is also a rare advantage in the comparison between our qualified people and professionals. "

Hearing what Nangong Xiao said, Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu suddenly nodded, "It seems that although we qualified people are not as strong as professionals at the same stage, we have the advantage in certain fields."

Nangong Xiao said, "Yes. To put it simply, all the abilities of professionals need to consider physical endurance, but we qualified people don't need to consider our own endurance. We only need enough MP to cast those professional visual abilities at will. It is a forbidden technique that is only used at critical moments. Just like my 'Rain of Tranquility', it is essentially one of the esoteric techniques of high-level druids. Usually, it is a super-restorative esoteric technique that is only used in critical situations. , but for me, this game is the universal farming skill. How big the difference is, it's simply not the same."

"Only you will use that kind of recovery skill that is almost against the sky as a farming skill." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu glanced at Nangong Xiao, but said, "But this is also good, so that we can eat it at any time When it comes to fresh fruits and vegetables, even out-of-season ones are fine. I give you full marks for this, Ah Xiao.”

Nangong Xiao blinked, took a bite of Muxiangguo, and said vaguely, "I'm really grateful."

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu also took a bite of the woody fruit, but soon remembered something, chewed and swallowed it three or two times, and then said, "By the way, where did we talk just now... yes, ah Xiao Xiao, how do you plan to govern Dawn City? I can’t understand all the actions of you and the president these days, can you explain in detail?”

"How to govern Dawn City?" Nangong Xiao paused after swallowing the pulp, but said, "It's simple to say, internally it is to create jobs through government-run farms and factories and provide channels for civilians to obtain legal income. And farms The goods and materials needed for daily life produced by the factories and factories are also sold to the residents by the government-run chamber of commerce.

If residents want to get money to buy these materials, they need to go to our farms or factories to work. If they have money, they must consume it. When the principle of proximity and prices are relatively reasonable, our government-run shops will be the first choice. Once it comes, the money will come back to us, and then we will continue to invest, expand production capacity or establish new industries, and at the same time increase jobs, reversely allow more residents to have legal income, further prosper the economy, and thus form A virtuous cycle.

As for us authoritarian management, what we really need to do is to control the military and formulate relatively reasonable laws to regulate and ensure the continuation of this virtuous circle.

Of course, this model is only internal. We may invest a lot in the early stage, and we will not have much profit, and may even suffer a large loss.But once the scale is formed, the industrial and agricultural products we produce can be dumped abroad.

We must know that the combined population of all ethnic groups in this world is roughly estimated to be several billion, and the industry and commerce in this world are still in a relatively backward low-capacity manual era. With various advantages, I will be able to quickly seize the market and plunder the wealth crazily. At this time, even if Qiuye takes out all the [-] million amethyst coins, I am confident that I will return them to her ten times within three years. "

Chapter 120 Dawn City - Straight Men's Chat

"So that's it, I probably understand... By the way, why do I always feel that you are not talking about a city, but a company?" Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu sighed, but was surprised.

"Smart, in my design, Dawn City is essentially a company. At least it has been like this for a long time. After all, my identity and status are destined not to mess around, at least on the surface. Treat this city as a company. And it saves time and effort to manage it like this."

Nangong Xiao took another mouthful of Muxiangguo, chewing and chewing slowly, while continuing to explain.

"Think about it, the residents of Dawn City are equivalent to employees and their families, the army is equivalent to the security of the company, the farms and factories are the main body of the company, and we are the shareholders of the company. Qiuye's capital investment, Xuan's technology investment , we don’t have that much capital, so we have the cheek to act as the executive director, and then we will build our industry in another world together, and by the way, give those poor qualified people a relatively safe settlement, you say, think about it this way, Doesn't everything seem extraordinarily simple?"

Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu looked at Nangong Xiao with a strange face, and said, "It's really...you are right, if you think about it this way, things are indeed much simpler. But, by the way, I am described as such by you. I feel that those who are qualified are really pitiful...No, factories, industries...Are you sure you can develop modern industries on a large scale in this world?"

"What's wrong? We don't lack technology, we don't lack capital, we don't lack labor, and we don't even lack markets. Why can't we develop industries on a large scale?" Nangong Xiao asked.

"Uh...this..." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu couldn't say anything for a while, it seemed like what Nangong Xiao said, there was nothing missing, and it was not difficult to develop industries, but she always felt that Something is wrong.

Nangong Xiao understood Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's confusion, and said with a smile, "I probably understand what you mean, you probably subconsciously think how advanced the modern industrial society is, and that developing industry in such a backward place It will be thankless, right? And even if it can really develop, it will take a lot of time and energy to waste, don’t you think it’s worth it?”

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu's eyes lit up, nodded and said, "Yes! That's it."

"Then you are wrong." Nangong Xiao shook his head and said, "The so-called industry has actually existed since ancient times, and modern industry is essentially the same as ancient times, and there is nothing advanced to speak of.

For example, a stone ax polished by a primitive man and a refined steel ax produced on a modern high-tech machine tool are of the same nature in behavior and conclusion.From this perspective, the difference between ancient and modern industries is only the process of making products.

In a narrower sense, the tools for making products have changed, resulting in the so-called explosive production capacity of modern industry.

In other words, we only need to make suitable production tools for those who are willing to learn to use advanced tools and give their allegiance to us. This is the so-called development of industry.

We have all the prerequisites for making advanced production tools.

The energy problem is indeed a problem in the modern society on the other side of the earth, but it is not a problem for this different world.Just like the magic rifle made by Xuan, the energy magazine inside is a kind of energy storage battery to some extent.With a slight change in the structure, it can act as electricity on the other side of the earth.

With the energy source, all that is left is the senior technicians who make high-precision machine tools, but the magicians of this world are fully capable of these, so in the final analysis, we only need to provide the principles and production of high-precision machine tools, and even industrial mother machines Drawings will suffice.

How much time do you think we need to waste just providing drawings and principles? "

"Hearing what you said, it really seems like this." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu thought for a while, and finally nodded, agreeing with Nangong Xiao's statement.

At this time, Nangong Xiao said, "You are only influenced by some habitual thinking brought over from modern society, so you don't see the essence of things clearly.

In fact, many things look extraordinarily simple despite the complicated and gorgeous appearance.

Just like the composition of a country, how complicated you look on the surface, but in my opinion, it is nothing more than a group of primates instinctively building a community environment conducive to genetic inheritance in order to pass on their genes That's all. "

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu embraced her hands, tilted her head and looked at Nangong Xiao beside her, "I seem to have heard of your statement before, it seems to be a theory of biological genetic determinism?"

"Oh? You actually know something about this?" Nangong Xiao became interested.

Finding that Nangong Xiao's tone suddenly changed a bit high-pitched, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu always felt that he shouldn't follow this topic, but he still tried to say, "No, I just roughly know that there is such a thing. And I still can't agree, Human beings are genetically driven to inherit their own genes out of instinct, which does not explain the behavior of those bachelors at all."

"The speech of a typical human supremacist believer." Nangong Xiao smiled instead.

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu frowned, "Then dear Nangong Xiao Daxuejia, why don't you explain the behavior of single people throughout the ages?"

"It's very simple, as long as you convert the biological term gene into a social term, it can be explained."

"What do you mean?"

"By the way, there are famous people like Plato, Newton, and Da Vinci in your world?" Nangong Xiao asked suddenly.

"Yes, these people you mentioned seem to have no offspring, right? I remember that Plato is the originator of 'spiritual love', right? This is the most typical evidence against genetic determinism."

"I would rather see this as evidence of genetic determinism."

"Ok?"

"Think about it, before you time travel, were you more famous than Plato, Newton and others? If you didn't time travel, when your life comes to an end decades later, there will be people who can really remember you at that time." How much? And what about Plato and the others?"

"You won't say that this is also a kind of genetic inheritance?"

"Yes. Humans are a very special species, so special that they cannot be explained solely by biology. In modern sociology, isn't this kind of behavior that has been passed down through the ages a kind of alternative genetic inheritance? Think again, ordinary people The celibates in the book, although they reject the biological inheritance method, besides this, they also have their own pursuits, right?

In the final analysis, those pursuits are nothing more than the word 'fame and fortune'.

What is fame and fortune?Isn't it material satisfaction and spiritual satisfaction? "Profit" refers to material satisfaction, which is easy to understand, after all, it is a need for survival.

"Name" means spiritual satisfaction, and isn't the condition for human beings to achieve spiritual satisfaction to be recognized?

It's like when you write a novel, isn't it essentially to get the reader's approval, so as to obtain spiritual satisfaction?Isn't this kind of behavior the transmission and inheritance of self-will?And this is the genetic inheritance instinct on the human spiritual level in social sciences.

Regarding those celibates, no matter what excuses they find to cover up, they cannot conceal their genetically engraved instinct, that is, they want to leave their traces on the world before the end of their lifespan.

This trace is the most primitive inheritance instinct engraved on human genes.

If there is no such instinct, then this person is already in a state of death in the physical sense, or in a state of death on the spiritual level. You can’t take cases as common sense, can you? "

"Uh..." Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu was choked up by Nangong Xiaoyi's long speech, and although she always felt that there was something wrong with Nangong Xiao's words, she couldn't tell what was wrong.

It's just that if you pick a topic and chat with him, he can give you more truthful science and so on. Isn't this too boring?

Or is this the so-called straight man of steel?

In the end, Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, who was somewhat puzzled, had to say in other words, "...In other words, according to what you said, it seems that it is not difficult to develop industries, but from your previous tone, it seems that it can be achieved within two or three years , isn't that a little exaggerated?"

Seeing the end of Nangong Xiao's favorite topic of genetics, Nangong Xiao secretly thought it was a pity that he thought he had met his companion, and at the same time shook his head and said, "Actually, it's not an exaggeration at all, it's just that you overestimated the difficulties of industrial development. Let me put it this way, let me just talk about the situation on the earth. Human beings have gone from traditional agricultural civilization to industrial civilization, and then developed into the information age of the 21st century. It took a total of more than 200 years. This is the human race's constant exploration and bumps The result of touching. It only took more than 200 years in this case. Do you think we have all the relatively correct experience in industrial development, plus the magic of magic, how many years will it take us to develop step by step?"

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu shook her head, "I can't make an accurate judgment, but it will take decades, right?"

Nangong Xiao said with a smile, "If it takes decades, you will underestimate the learning and adaptability of primates. Let me put it this way. In my opinion, if you want to enter the agricultural era without magic The industrial era really takes decades, even if it is sooner, it will take two or three decades. But the key point is that it is too difficult to make a sophisticated industrial master machine, so the time is stretched to decades.

But it’s different with magic. Let’s talk about the most basic metal cutting machine. If necessary, Xuan and Qiuye, I, and I can make a large metal cutting machine qualified by magic in two to three days. cutting machine.

This is just our own hands-on situation. If we use the most basic division of labor and cooperation mode, let a large number of magicians make some related parts separately, and form an assembly line production, the result is that we can mass produce various machine tools in a short time.In this way, isn't there only a running-in period left for industrial development? "

Xiazhiqiu Shiyu nodded suddenly, and said, "I understand, if you just produce goods in this way and then dump them to all countries in the world, it really won't take much time for you to do this. It seems that I still made mistakes before. Don't worry, I thought you really planned to transform the whole society."

"Yes, but it's not a mistake. I really want to transform the whole society, but I also know very well how difficult it is to completely transform the agricultural population into an industrial population, and the time required is also difficult to estimate." Nangong Xiao Explained, "That's why I said, I'm just building a company. As for transforming the social form, it needs to be cultivated gradually from the aspects of education, culture, living habits, concept bias, etc. It will take at least ten years to get started. Done. Take your time."

"Do we really have so much time?" Xiazhiqiu Shiyu rarely showed a pessimistic look.

"I don't know. That's why I try to leave as much trace in this world as possible."

"Instinct from genetic inheritance?"

"It can be said like this." Nangong Xiao said, "If one day we are really gone, then Dawn City will be the fire that ignites the industrial revolution in this world. Maybe thousands of years later, we might appear here In the textbooks of the world, it is said that a certain sage worked hard to create the era of the magic industry, and so on, just thinking about it makes me feel interesting."

Tilting her small head to look at Nangong Xiao, especially that yearning and playful smile, made Xiazhiqiu Shiyu a little distracted.

Suddenly, she discovered a problem, that is, although the way of thinking of this big boy in front of her is a bit weird, her realm of looking at things has long been beyond the scope of ordinary people.

Ordinary qualified people at this time are mostly thinking about how to upgrade, how to get better equipment, and then survive well, boring and boring, and even spend every day dullly.

But on the other hand, he thought of leaving the spark of change behind by his own power. This gap is really incomparable.

The only thing that makes people wonder is that this guy is too serious, usually chatting with beauties, shouldn't he think of ways to make girls happy...

"What's the matter?" Nangong Xiao also noticed the other party's gaze, and turned around to ask in doubt.

"Ah, no." Xiazhiqiu Shiyu quickly retracted his intertwined gaze, and looked at the gate of the giant industrial zone not far away, "It really looks good, even the guards have been arranged."

"It can only be said that the plan that Xuan and I have written down for several nights has been well implemented. It also shows that Liu Bo'an and the others are indeed very strong in execution."

The two walked to the main entrance of the outer wall of the industrial area, and the member of the security team standing guard gave a modern military salute with excitement. It could be seen that Liu Bo'an and Pamiya had trained well. In just a few days, these former members of the Patrol Army have become in style.

Nangong Xiao also returned a simple military salute, and then walked into the gate of the outer wall with Xiazhiqiu Shiyu.

Because there are fewer people in the industrial area, basically all the magicians are gathered in one factory building under Qiu Ye's leadership.

The two soon came to the production workshop of the magic rifle. At this time, Qiuye was instructing those dragon-human magicians to engrave magic circles on various parts of the magic rifle.

Seeing Nangong Xiao and Xia Zhiqiu Shiyu coming, those dragon-human mages wanted to stand up and salute to their highness, but they were stopped by Nangong Xiao.

"Everyone, ignore me and continue with your work."

"Obey!" More than 100 dragon-human magicians responded in unison, and they all buried their heads in the engraved magic circle.

At this time, Qiuye walked over with a frown, "Your Highness, the speed of this kind of manual engraving depends on the number and proficiency of the magicians. For now, it is still difficult to increase the production capacity. I think it can be done." Can’t make a machine tool for automatic engraving?”

Listening to Akiba's words, Kasumigaoka Shiwa was the one who sighed the most in his heart. How long has it been since Akiba can use modern terms such as "production capacity" and "automation" freely.

"Good idea." Nangong Xiao squinted his eyes and thought for a moment before saying, "Magic circles and rune engravings are essentially a kind of physical pattern display, but they need to cooperate with the magic power structure to make ordinary patterns become magical. It’s just the magic array and runes. The principle is not complicated...I can design a fine carving machine driven by magic power, reduce some fine work in the magician’s engraving process, and simplify the program of the magic structure, so it should It can greatly increase the production capacity. In the next two days, I will give you the blueprint after the demonstration."

"Okay...ah, Your Highness, do you want to postpone it? The workload of Your Highness and Princess Xuan these days..."

"It's okay, we will arrange a rest time." Nangong Xiao shook his head and said, and took out the design blueprint of the magic cannon from the space ring, and put it on the long table, "This is the blueprint of the magic cannon that has been demonstrated , Can you see how long it will take for the 300mm city defense gun inside to produce samples? I urgently need ten. You can stop the production of magic rifles first."

Akiba opened those blueprints, turned to the details of the 300mm city defense gun, and after a quick glance, said, "The craft is not much more complicated than the magic rifle, but it may take some time to have a live ammunition launcher.. .If the division of labor and assembly line mode is adopted, four days is enough. If everyone is more proficient, the time-consuming may be shortened a lot."

"very good."

Chapter 121 Dawn City - Strategy

In Dawn City, in the magic rifle factory building in the industrial area, Qiu Ye flipped through the blueprint of the 300mm city defense gun again, thought for a while, and finally said, "Your Highness, I think the magic weapon can try to recommend to the empire." Some, um, including blueprints and production processes."

"Tell me the reason." When Nangong Xiao was speaking, two dragon-human magicians moved two chairs.

Nangong Xiao thanked them politely, flattering the two dragon-human mages, they quickly said no, and stepped back to prepare tea and snacks.

Sitting on the chair in front of the long table with Xiazhiqiu Shiyu, Nangong Xiao looked at Qiuye, waiting for Qiuye's next words.

Akiba seemed to have adapted to His Royal Highness's daily behavior, knowing that His Royal Highness would not care about etiquette and rules for his own people, so he sat on the chair opposite Nangong Xiao, across the long table, and said, "Your Highness wants to gain a foothold in the empire. , the need to show value in the court is now basically determined. I have received a long-distance communication from Princess Changxi last night, and the new magic concept has been approved by Tianzihong, and secretly started preparations for promotion According to Princess Chang Xi's letter, Tian Zihong has praised His Highness and Princess Xuan very much, and after the new magic concept is officially promoted, the reward will definitely come."

"It's expected. Where is the old man?" Nangong Xiao nodded and asked.
