Chapter 337 New Power Core
Pharaoh: "Why is there anything so hard to guess? From a king's perspective, her behavior is very easy to understand. She has the legitimate right to inherit the throne. Even if she is not in a hurry to attack, as long as she can hold on to her current territory and show that she has the qualities that a king should have in this territory, and do better than Ugumantai, nobles will continue to come to her for support."

Ministers: “!”

Pharaoh: "How to show the charm of a king? Everyone has his own way. A powerful king declares his status by force. Elizabeth has already declared force. Now she will show her ability in domestic affairs and make the common people feel that following this king will give them a better life. This will become a powerful weapon."

"The one who needs to be anxious now is Ugumantai." The Pharaoh smiled and said, "He cannot allow Elizabeth to continue to consolidate her position in the hearts of the lesser nobles and commoners. He must get rid of Elizabeth before she is fully grown."

Ministers: "Defense is always easier than offense. If Elizabeth switches to defense, the limited military force can be better utilized, and Ugumantai will be put to the passive side."

"Yes!" Pharaoh: "What we need to observe now is the second major battle. If Ugumantai loses another battle... then Elizabeth's situation will be stable."

He put on a serious face and said, "For us, the technology Elizabeth has is very important. She promised that if we don't take the opportunity to send troops, she will help us get rid of poverty and become rich. I didn't believe it before, but now that I have seen the new manure technology, I think I can try to believe her. Since she can turn useless manure into treasure, maybe she can really turn the useless black oil into treasure."
-
early morning!

Zhang Jingyi got up early and sat on an observation deck in the cultural and creative park, looking at the rolling Jialing River.

He was thinking about the follow-up issues...

After Sunshine City was occupied, the actual controlled area suddenly became very large, much larger than before when it was shrunk in the western forest, and the population suddenly increased many times.

There are more than 20,000 registered residents in the main urban area of ​​Sunshine City, and there are several thousand unregistered people. If you add up the surrounding towns and villages, the population becomes an astronomical figure.

With such a large population base, it is no longer possible to rely on Zhang Jingyi to supply them with modern supplies. It is not that modern society cannot afford it, but that Zhang Jingyi is a private individual. Even if he uses "scenic area consumption" as an excuse, buying so many supplies will attract the attention of relevant departments.

The most representative one here is "oil".

Whether it is gasoline or diesel, Zhang Jingyi's purchase volume has reached a critical point. If he transports more oil to the magical world, the relevant departments will probably come to talk to him.

Oil can no longer be transported, but the power of clockwork machinery is very limited and its application range is not wide.

How to operate?

Just as he was thinking about this, he felt Elizabeth walk up behind him and said to him with a smile: "Hubby, the elves and dwarves have joined forces to make something new, and I want you to go and see it."

Zhang Jingyi: “Oh?”

Half an hour later...

Sunshine City, a remote street, there are few pedestrians here and the street is empty.

When Zhang Jingyi and Elizabeth walked to the street, they saw the elf craftsmen and dwarf craftsmen tinkering with a huge car.

Zhang Jingyi recognized it at a glance: "Tank!"

In other words, it is a modified tank.

Unlike Zhang Jingyi's tank, it does not use modern cannons, but a magic cannon, with circles of "magic amplification" runes carved on the barrel. There are no tracks, probably because the dwarves are unable to make tracks yet, so they have to use large iron wheels.

Zhang Jingyi only took a look and couldn't help but wonder, "Huh? You can use a spring to drive such a large iron car? Have you come up with some new technology for the spring?"

The Elf Craftsman and the Dwarf Craftsman laughed together: "Your Majesty, it does not use clockwork as its core power source."

"It's not clockwork?" Zhang Jingyi suddenly became interested: "What kind of core did you use?"

"Internal combustion engine!" said the dwarf craftsman. "We copied your internal combustion engine."

"Huh?" Zhang Jingyi was surprised: "Internal combustion engine? What are you going to use as fuel?"

"This!" The dwarf craftsman held out a stone pot with both hands. In the pot was a burning stone. "This is the Heart of the Mountain. It is the heart of the mountain and can burn forever. We dug it out from the mountain not long ago. We tried to put it into your internal combustion engine and didn't expect it to work. But it's too crude to use it directly. In recent days, the elf craftsmen have used very complex magic to control the firepower of the Heart of the Mountain. Now we can finally put it into practical use."

"Eternal burning?" Zhang Jingyi thought: Damn, this doesn't conform to the law of conservation of energy.

Just as he thought of this, he heard the elf speak: "In fact, it is not an eternal burning. When it burns, it consumes the power of the earth."

Zhang Jingyi: “Oh?”

Elf: "It has a strange ability to 'absorb fire elements and gather them towards itself'. It can continuously absorb fire elements from Mother Earth, so it can burn eternally. As long as the earth does not die, it will keep burning."

Zhang Jingyi couldn't help but sigh inwardly: Amazing! What a terrifying energy source this is, it beats nuclear energy.

However, with this thing, it is theoretically possible to start an internal combustion engine.

"Okay, then I'll see how you use it."

Zhang Jingyi held Elizabeth's hand and stood on the street.

The dwarf got into the "copycat big tank". There was a mechanism inside the tank, which was drawn by the elves. The dwarf pulled the mechanism, and the pre-drawn magic runes began to shine, activating the Heart of the Mountain in the internal combustion engine.

It started burning silently, unlike Zhang Jingyi's engine which made a rumbling noise.

The copycat tank quickly started moving, slowly moving forward, accelerating... and accelerating again... its speed could actually reach forty or fifty kilometers.

Zhang Jingyi was overjoyed: This thing is really amazing! Now, I finally don't have to deliver oil to this world anymore.

Elizabeth was equally delighted: "This thing is great, can we make a large quantity of it?"

"Well, I'm afraid we can't manufacture them in large quantities." The elven craftsman shook his head regretfully. "The Heart of the Mountain is not a material that can be found everywhere. We have finally found it with great difficulty. If we use all the Heart of the Mountain we can find in the West Wind Mountains, we can only make a few chariots. We can't meet the demand for large quantities of agricultural machinery such as 'tillers', 'pumps', and 'harvesters'."
