Master of Thermodynamics
Chapter 351: For the sake of the girls
In a large study room, Renault talked to a detailed military map, his fingers were constantly gesturing on the map, and the eyes of the Duke of Castro continued to chase his fingers.
"Your Excellency, please see, this is the'Bredesau River', a tributary of the Nassau River. It is the closest river to the main stream of the Loeb River. The straight-line distance between the two is only less than 40 kilometers. Not far."
"If an artificial canal is dug to connect the Loeb River and the Bredesau River, and divert the water of the Loeb River to the Nassau Wetlands, the area of the wetlands will skyrocket, and this natural barrier in the north of the kingdom will become stronger. ..."
When Renault talked about this, Duke Castro's face was flushed with excitement, his eyes widened, and his lips trembled slightly. He had fully understood Renault's meaning.
The middle-aged transcendent named "Vassilite" sometimes stared at the map in shock, and sometimes looked at Renault with admiration. Obviously, this kind of fanciful thinking completely conquered him.
"Your Excellency, the amount of the artificial canal is actually not large. I have made a simple estimate. If the design width of the canal is 20 meters and the depth is 5 meters, the earthwork that needs to be excavated will not exceed 3.5 million cubic meters. More than 10,000 workers are enough to complete the project in three months."
"However, I am worried that the drainage capacity of one canal may be insufficient, especially after the rainy season, the rainfall in the north will be greatly reduced. In the long term, I suggest planning another two canals to ensure that the Nassau Wetland can be obtained at all times. Sufficient water source."
"In addition, the role of the canal is not only to divert water, it also helps to transport grain and grass and other materials, and even at critical moments, it can quickly mobilize troops through the canal..."
At this time, Duke Castro couldn't help it. He looked at Renault with bright eyes, and said with excitement:
"Your Excellency Renault, this is really a genius idea, your wisdom is simply amazing..."
Renault just smiled and listened to Duke Castro's rumblings. After the excitement of the Duke was slightly relieved, he seized the opportunity to insert a sentence:
"Your Excellency, if the kingdom is willing to take risks, in the middle of the black orc army crossing the river, suddenly connecting the canal and cutting their army in two, may be able to give the black orcs a major blow..."
Vasilite turned his head and glanced at Renault, then retorted:
"Your Excellency Renault, before the invasion of the Black Orcs, they will definitely send the Demon Eyes to conduct frequent investigations. The construction of the canal is so huge that it is impossible for them to not see the canal..."
"Once they discover the existence of the canal, they will be prepared for it. I'm afraid your plan is not feasible."
But Renault was waiting for this sentence, because no one "chugged", he couldn't automatically lead to the next topic.
With this virtue of being unprofitable and unable to get early, how could it not take the opportunity to add a little bit of private goods?
"Lord Vasilit, your concerns are reasonable. The key to the problem lies in the magic eye. As long as the magic eye can freely enter and exit the sky of the kingdom, the existence of the canal will be invisible."
"but……"
He paused deliberately, and after drawing the attention of Duke Castro, he smiled and said:
"If there is something that can fight the magic eye?"
The Duke of Castro was surprised when he heard the words, and asked repeatedly:
"Is there really something that can fight the magic eye?"
For a long time, the magic eye has always been a confidant of the human army. At this time, the Duke of Castro had a positive magic eye when he heard that he could not bear it.
Renault nodded affirmatively:
"Of course! Your Excellency, I wonder if you have heard of hot air balloons. In fact, the Duke of Byron in the north has placed the first order for hot air balloons with our Chamber of Commerce..."
Then he started talking again.
...
After fancy bragging about the various functions of hot air balloons, Renault concluded:
"I think the hot air balloon is definitely a tool that can change the mode of war. As long as you can use it proficiently, it is not difficult to deal with the magic eye..."
The Duke of Castro and Vasilite looked at each other and said:
"If your description of the hot air balloon is true, even if the hot air balloon cannot fight the magic eye, it can also play a very important role in high-altitude reconnaissance..."
"I am very interested in this. Can you arrange a hot air balloon demonstration for us in the near future?"
The words of the Duke did not surprise Renault. You must know that the famous "Thunder Eagle" in the kingdom, but the famous scheming, he didn't even see the real thing. How could he just rush down with a few words of rhetoric. Order?
Don't even think about it!
Renault secretly made up his mind to make careful preparations after returning, and design a more grandiose and more magnificent demonstration program, in an eye-catching way, to show the effect of the hot air balloon to the Duke.
Because the order this time is not a small-scale order like the Duke of Byron, but a big order for at least 10 sets of hot air balloons, and 20 sets and 30 sets are not impossible!
An enthusiastic smile burst onto Renault's face, he bent down deeply and said:
"As you wish, Lord Duke!"
After thinking for a moment, he gave the date:
"The presentation time is set in one month's time, what do you think?"
The Duke of Castro nodded slightly and agreed:
"I hope to see the wonderful performance of the hot air balloon by then!"
Renault quietly clenched his fists.
It's done!
He came to meet the Duke of Castro this time. "Promoting the life of the Thousand Lake Kingdom" was only one of his goals, and "selling hot air balloons" was another goal. Now both goals have been perfectly achieved.
For Renault, the former is actually not very profitable, after all, this is just an idea, and he is a foreigner, no one wants to bother to win more rewards for him.
In other words, Renault won’t get too many rewards from the Thousand Lake Kingdom. Maybe it’s still in the face of the Wind Elemental Transcendent identity. If he is just an ordinary person, I’m afraid dozens of Kinnars will be free. Dismissed him.
No way, in this extraordinary time and space, humans value powerful force more than pure wisdom.
The latter is different. As long as the order is placed, the net profit of the Haichao Chamber of Commerce will be as high as thousands or even tens of thousands of Kinnars.
As for the more profitable "military-level arms trade", Renault will certainly promote it, but not now.
Because this piece of cake is too big, so big that even a Duke doesn’t have the courage to take it on his own. If Renault acts rashly and deliberately wants to wipe out all the shares, it will definitely attract a joint counterattack from many competitors.
And, the craziest and bloodiest revenge.
Even if Renault can withstand the revenge, his subordinates will not have this ability and will surely suffer heavy casualties.
Hot air balloons do not have this concern. This is a brand new field. No matter how full Renault is, it will only attract jealousy at best and will not cause serious conflicts of interest.
After talking about the business, the Duke of Castro sent out an enthusiastic invitation:
"Your Excellency Renault, lunch time is almost here, I wonder if you would like to have lunch with me? Of course, I know you have some entourages, and they will also receive the most warm hospitality..."
Renault happily agreed:
"my pleasure!"
Obviously, the Duke intends to take the opportunity to win him over, but why should he refuse?
Anyway, he also wants to take the opportunity to get close to the other party and pave the way for future trade, which can be regarded as "it hits it right away."
But Renault did not expect that the Duke would hit a snake with a stick, and issued a new invitation:
"By the way, there will be a dance party in the castle tonight. I wonder if you are interested in coming to participate. I believe there will be many people in Leiyun Castle who want to get to know you..."
Renault hesitated, but nodded back:
"It's my honor!"
Since it's a dance party, there will definitely be many white girls, and there are all kinds of styles of ladies and mature ladies. For the sake of girls, if you agree, please agree...
