Chapter 97 Unexpected Guest
It is 90 meters long and equipped with three carefully designed naval-specific long-range crossbow guns. It is designed to have a speed of up to 25 knots and can carry 750 fully armed soldiers. Its performance exceeds that of all existing naval warships. Doyle, the first warship of the Doyle class of the Rome Island export-class, was delivered to the elves. After testing, The old sailboat of Elf Forest is not an opponent at all. All three old sailboats responsible for playing the invading enemy in the combat exercise were easily sunk. The Elf Queen immediately increased the order to 15, the amount was increased to 3 million gold coins, and the elf immigrants were increased to 5,000.
The Elf Forest Queen Andria, built on the basis of the Doyle-class warship, was launched. The superstructure of the whole ship is decorated with high-end elf forest wood. 300 art masters have carefully carved and designed it. A large number of gems and gold and silver decorations have been decorated. Unexpectedly, an open-air swimming pool design has been added. This huge luxury, which can almost be called a mobile palace, has just been delivered to the Elf queen, and the queen and the public Many elf nobles regard it as a treasure, and all the elves who have boarded the Queen of Andria are the top beings in the huge pyramid of the elf clan. This luxury cruise ship with a total value of more than 10 million gold coins has once again broken the world record for the most expensive ship set by the Princess Elena.
The elf forest has not only had a few happy events recently. On the long border with human beings, the original slave plunder team has almost disappeared. Although it still appears occasionally, it is very different from the original number. The sacred empire has fallen into an unprecedented crisis. Support is becoming more and more important. The rulers of the Holy Empire have realized that the division of the Holy Empire has become a fact, and the complete and powerful Elf Forest, whichever supports the newly established human empire, will make the situation facing the Holy Empire more chaotic, so the policy of bringing in the Elf Forest is strictly enforced. OK, I didn't slack off.
Romai Island has developed more rapidly. A new port city has begun to be established. This port city has more complete facilities and larger docks. It has reserved a place for the planned new naval battleships. The original Jianye port has been changed to be dedicated to merchants. The construction of the port is nearing completion, and 6 more Large docks have also been put into operation. Now Romer can build 14 crystal-powered ships of different sizes at the same time, 10 of which can reach more than 90 meters in length.
There are now large steel mills on the island, one in Jianye Port, responsible forging imported steel, and the other near the island's iron ore, responsible forging self-produced steel. According to Arcardo's requirements, it has been able to build molds and make standardized parts. The increasing number of magicians on the island began to accept Acardo's employment. , using ice magic, fire magic and wind magic to work for steel mills, improving steel production and quality.
In the underground laboratory of Arcado's Sword Fortress, that is, the military weapons laboratory, three magicians have repeatedly tested and designed the magic array needed by Arcado, and have made certain improvements to the equivalent output magic array, making the magic array smaller and more efficient. The blast magic array is also undergoing intense experiments. Due to its dangerousness, the number of tests is not large, resulting in the slow progress of the whole plan.
Old Tom lived up to expectations, led the fleet to explore along the coast of the Dragon Flame Desert, and finally found an oasis that can grow food, which is the mouth of the mouth of the Dragon's Tail River. Although the Dragon's Tail River is not large, and it is a seasonal river from time to time, this oasis Indeed, the first 300 Rome immigrants have landed there by boat and began to build the third city of Rome, which is also the first immigrant city outside Rome Island. Arcado personally named the city Newport. After survey, the supply capacity around Newport can reach at least 70% of Rome Island, that is to say, once the new port is built, Rome can expand its population by at least 140,000. This is undoubtedly the most exciting thing for Romer, who is close to 140,000 people and is about to reach the maximum capacity.
The current total production value of small Rome Island has reached 120 million gold coins per year. The main sources of income are weapons and arms sold to the fortress empire through the Elf Forest, naval ships directly sold to the Elf Forest, paper silk transactions with the Elf clan, steel processing, maritime transportation industry, and Elf Monopoly sales of Sen's luxury specialties, tourism and taxation. It has completely got rid of the single business model of relying on the elf slave trade and formed an independent huge industrial kingdom.
These earned gold coins have been exchanged for large-scale reserves of raw materials such as grain, magic crystals and steel. There are so many crystals and steel on Rome Island that it is shocking. It can be said that only Hubert, who knows the truth, knows that Rome Island is now terrible. The civilian magic array has been regulated on Rome Island. With the rise of the mold, a large number of industrial equipment use an equal output magic array. These factories provide stable fine processing, mass-produced some standardized parts such as screws, and are purchased by manufacturing factories such as docks, which greatly improves the shipbuilding speed of dockyards.
The so-called garbage, which was scoffed by Philo's magicians, called the invention of the equal output magic array, has now become the most important source of power on Rome Island. It provides lighting, heat energy, power, and a large number of gold coins. The merchants who opened a processing factory in Rome are waiting for high-profit dividends to rely on these inconspicuous magic arrays to get such a high return. If these businessmen knew that a man named Philodo had postponed the invention for five years, it is estimated that they would drown the poor professor with saliva.
Enjoying the wine of elves and watching the pleasing elf beauties selling all kinds of jewelry and novel clothes to themselves, whether it is entering the natural and harmonious elf village or going to Jianye Port to experience the brilliant Luomai industrial civilization, the smiling elf guides make people feel like they are in heaven, blessed by the gods, that How wonderful it is for elf slaves with a cold face of ten thousand years in human society to smile and say hello to human guests. If they are willing to bleed for consumption, they can even get the kiss of elf beauties.
As many as 5700 elves finally came to settle down on Rome Island. In addition to the number of immigrants promised by the Elf Queen, there are also elves gold miners who came to try their luck. After their arrival, they were hired to the tourism industry and handicraft industry with high salaries. The unique advantages of the elves made them get the first place here. Barrel gold, many elves have also begun to enter the factory to engage in fine processing, and their peaceful nature is very suitable for precision control. These elves began to gradually adapt to the human beings around them, and the human beings around them welcome these skilled long-eared friends very much.
The perfect law makes Rome Island the place with the lowest crime rate in the world. The efficient police force and the impartial jury supervision and trial system have almost become models of all the legal systems in later generations. Abner, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, has contributed a lot. However, what impressed Akado was not Abena's getting fat body, but his bold daughter Tessa. Every time this deadly goblin saw Akado, he would try his best to attack any part of Akado's falling position with his lips. What made Akado more helpless was that Meadow turned a blind eye to it.
When there was laughter on Rome Island, an elf messenger who came with the ship brought a shocking news that Elena, the second heir of the elf forest, the second princess of the elf clan, will visit Rome on Princess Elena.
