Chapter 423: People sit at home, disaster comes from
"boom!"
Moose slammed a fist on the surface of a giant tree, making a muffled noise.
A raging flame appeared out of thin air, the wood in contact with the fist began to burn rapidly, layers of black ash fell, and the trunk was quickly burned out of a large hole, and the giant tree also tilted up.
This is the extraordinary fire of Moose.
Five seconds later, the tree trunk was completely burned by the extraordinary fire. This 50-meter-high arbor collapsed, and countless branches and leaves rubbed against each other, making a huge "crashing" sound.
Moose glanced at his fist with satisfaction, turned around and waved to the people under his hands, and a group of island guards immediately rushed over with the magic saw.
In the sound of "Zizi" sawing wood, the branches were sawed off, and the thick trunks were cut into pieces of planks, which will become the building materials for the construction camp.
In a clearing not far away, a thermal magic heater is placed on the open space, and branches are continuously thrown into the combustion chamber. Part of the thermal magic energy generated is introduced into the drying chamber to dry the wood, and the other part is used Come to boil water for the team members to drink at any time.
Under Renault's indoctrination, when the island guards are active in the wild, they will never drink raw water unless they have to do it.
In another location on this island, a more powerful thermal power machine is devouring wood at a faster speed, and sections and a half of a person’s length of wood are thrown into the "ultra-high temperature combustion chamber". It completely turned to ashes in a breathing room.
The heat magic energy converted by this machine is transmitted to a welding gun-like instrument through the magic silver wire.
Elon pointed right at the stone wall in front of him and said loudly:
"Start cutting from here..."
A sailor came up with a mask, pointed the tool in his hand at the stone wall, and activated the rune.
In the shiny blue light, something amazing happened.
A half-meter-long section of blazing light suddenly emerged from the top of the tool. After the light touched the rock wall, a finger-wide red line appeared on the rock surface, which then melted into magma and slowly flowed down.
Wherever the flame moves, the stone wall will melt. After the flame moves on the rock, an arched pattern appears on the surface of the stone.
This kind of magical machine is exactly the "Thermal Cutting Machine" developed by the Rune Research Institute. It converts the thermal energy into ultra-high temperature rays with a temperature of up to 2000 degrees, which is used to cut matter.
In fact, the principle of the cutting machine is the same as that of welding. The only difference is that the temperature of the former is higher, and the structure of the rune group has been adjusted. A longer high-temperature flame is condensed in front of the cutting gun.
Thanks to the extremely high temperature, the cutting machine can be said to be insoluble. The only drawback is the high energy consumption, but this is not a big problem. There are trees everywhere on the island, and more manual logging is enough.
In front of the cutting machine, the originally hard rock turned into extremely soft tofu, piece by piece was cut off, and a passage gradually appeared on the stone wall.
The sailors will dig a warehouse inside the stone mountain to store supplies.
This is necessary because the island is often inaccessible, and it is spring, the temperature is higher, and the forest has an unusually high number of insects. Temporary timber warehouses cannot stop their invasion.
In fact, when the guards and sailors are working, even if they are hot, they will wrap themselves tightly. Except for their heads and faces, they will not show an inch of skin, just to prevent insect bites.
Leiyunbao.
After the hot air balloon exhibition ended successfully, Renault stayed in Leiyunbao for a day. He had another important thing-to kill the Earl of Kashgar.
Because the small life of the earl is related to an order of weapons and equipment worth tens of thousands of Kinnar.
Although the Haichao Chamber of Commerce had already shipped the equipment, after receiving the equipment, the old fox, the Duke, made various excuses and was reluctant to pay for it.
There is no way, for the glittering Kinnar, Renault must fulfill his promise, and by the way, he also sighed for himself. He still remembered the ambush at the gate of Leiyun Castle.
Renault was covered in black armor and stood quietly in the night sky, overlooking the Thunder Cloud Castle that was shrouded in night.
A black stone ball with a diameter of nearly 2 meters hovered motionless beside him. This scene seemed quite strange.
Looking down from a high altitude, only the aristocratic and wealthy area in the west of the city can see a lot of lights, and the other places are completely dark. Obviously ordinary civilians can't afford the cost of lighting at all.
As an important town in the northern border of the Thousand Lake Kingdom, Leiyunbao is all of this poor virtue, which shows how underdeveloped the productivity of the alien world is.
In contrast, the Haichao Islands are completely different. With the passage of time and the accumulation of wealth, today's Haichao collars are definitely very rich. Every family has no worries about food and clothing, and more or less have surplus money.
The light oil-fueled oil lamps sold in the territory’s department stores have already entered every family. When Renault flies over the island at night, you can see the lights wherever people live. The feeling of "lights".
Comparing the two completely different scenes, Renault sighed, the nobles in the other world were too greedy.
All social systems, whether feudalism or capitalism, are essentially a way of distributing cakes among different classes.
It's just that the food of the former is too ugly. The upper-class nobles occupy most of the resources, and the lowest-class civilians are extremely difficult to live, and are in a state of precariousness at all times.
According to common sense, this kind of social structure will collapse sooner or later, and it is appropriate for war to break out, but there are extraordinary powers in this world, and this rotten society is barely able to survive.
The latter, the system that Renault chose, is more tender. Although his food is not much better, he has the ability to make the cake bigger and is willing to give up more benefits. The civilians are in his Under the rule, the standard of living has been more than a hundred times higher.
However, it is precisely because of this that the road he is going to take is destined to be incompatible with the noble class in other worlds.
Because according to the way Renault divides the cake, there is a huge scissors gap between industry, commerce and agriculture, and the nobles are mainly based on the manor economy. Once the tide of industrialization sweeps the world, it will definitely seriously damage the interests of the land nobles, and most of the land The final outcome of the nobility is only one way to go bankrupt.
So, for Renault, the initiator, will the nobles have a good impression of it?
How can it be!
To cut a person's wealth is like killing a parent, and both parties must have an endless relationship.
Starting from the determination to take the road of industrialization, Renault deeply understood that there must be a life-and-death contest between himself and the human aristocracy.
Therefore, he has always held great vigilance against the nobles, and his contacts with them are mainly based on utilization.
At this time, Renault suddenly noticed that a light was flashing in a corner of the noble quarter.
He was refreshed, this was a signal from Arrietty, which meant that he could do it.
The rune array of [Nian Motive Force] flickered, the pulling force exerted on the stone ball was relieved, and the stone ball was captured by the gravity of the earth again, and quickly fell down.
But Renault was not satisfied with this speed. His figure floated on the stone ball, stepped on the stone ball, pushed a handful of the stone ball hard, and dropped with the ball at high speed.
The wind of "huhu" sounded in his ears, and he kept fine-tuning the movement direction of the stone ball with [Nian Motive Force], aiming at a mansion in the noble district.
Around the mansion, three bright fire lights formed a triangle, the center of which was where the Earl of Kash lived and was also the target of Renault's attack.
Renault glanced down, a smirk on his face.
Hey, Lord Kashgar, today I will let you experience what is meant by "people sitting at home, disaster comes from the sky"!
After 15 seconds, the speed of the stone ball reached a staggering 300 meters per second. After Renault adjusted its angle for the last time, the stone ball hit the attic of the mansion forward.
"boom!"
A shocking sound appeared, and the ground trembled violently, as if there was an earthquake, a huge cloud of smoke rose high, and the dust continued to sound like a building collapsing loudly.
Blocks of wood and gravel flew in all directions, flying hundreds of meters away as far as they were. When they ran out of momentum and fell down, the ground was like a hailstone, and there were "cracking" sounds everywhere.
Early the next morning.
A sensational news spread throughout Leiyunbao—the poor Earl of Kashgar was smashed to death by a stone falling from the sky!
At this time, Renault had appeared on the base island, the deserted island where the logistics base was located.
