Genshin Impact, the new God of Grass, makes Xumi great again

Although these problems can be optimized through design and process improvements, they will continue to exist due to the limitations of the physical properties of the steam engine itself.

Therefore, in the view of some researchers, the steam locomotive should be positioned only as an experimental platform to test the feasibility of the emerging "train".

After the feasibility is verified, the next step should be to directly put electric locomotives into use as the main transportation force for Xumi.

Anyway, it will definitely develop to this step in the end, so it is better to do it in one step and save a lot of effort.

However, the opposing party believed that it was necessary to continue the research and development of steam locomotives, and after the experience in using trains was mature, gradually transition to diesel locomotives and electric locomotives.

The biggest advantage of this route is that there are traces to follow. You can follow the description in the information and cross the river by feeling the stones. You don't seek to achieve anything, but only to avoid mistakes.

Moreover, at the current stage, the technology of Xumi Electric Machinery is still very immature. Although the electrical crystals that act as containers for lightning elements have many advantages, the problem of insufficient production capacity still plagues its further development.

So in their opinion, to be on the safe side, it would be better to continue developing steam power.

Just like that, after a series of quarrels, neither side could convince the other, and Falusan was helpless, so she had to come to ask Nashida for advice to end the route dispute.

"I see. Seeing that you are so serious in your pursuit of wisdom, I appreciate your caution."

After listening to Farusan's narration, Nashida was silent for a moment amid the rumble of the train, and decided to first express her appreciation for the scholars' spirit of seriousness.

It's really embarrassing to say this. She is the goddess of wisdom, but when scholars encounter difficulties, she hardly provides any guidance. She is really incompetent.

"Since everyone is having this debate, why don't we have them all?"

All along, in the exploration of the technology tree, Nashida has been more inclined to replicate the successful path of Blue Star, step by step.

But she has some new ideas about the dispute over the technical route of this train.

That is, why not utilize the many existing elemental technologies, combine them with Blue Star technology, and explore a completely new path for technological development.

No one has ever stipulated that the development of the technology tree must be steam - internal combustion - electricity.

At least Nashida is still very interested in the "electric crystal train" proposed by these scholars, so there is nothing wrong with exploring this aspect in advance.

"How about this, I'll have Elhaisen approve more funds and materials for you. While continuing to improve the steam locomotive, you can directly start the research and development of a new locomotive."

We must do both well and break through the inherent inertia of thinking. While developing new element technologies, we must not abandon the old routes.

As for which route will be taken next, it depends on the progress of subsequent research.

"That's great, Lord Grass God. After today's demonstration is over, I will go tell the younger generations this good news."

When she heard that Nashida was going to continue to increase funding for the research project, Falusan's eyes lit up. If Nashida wasn't a god, she almost wanted to go up and pick her up and shake her.

As the saying goes, only children make choices. Now that we have more funding, there is no need to worry about which route to choose. We can just get started.

"But Lord Grass God, our finances are already very tight. If we continue to increase funding for the R&D department, we may not be able to sustain the funding."

But while Falushan was excited, Elhaisen on the side frowned. As the supreme leader of Xumi, he knew very well how tight Xumi's finances were at the moment.

Industrialization, large-scale infrastructure, and now so many scientific research projects are giving him a headache.

It can even be said that if it weren't for the aid from the winter that was obtained by selling off property (referring to the Heart of God), the current Xumi government would have gone bankrupt long ago.

So in this matter, even if Falushan has the support of Nashida, he still has to come out and say a few words, asking the other party to take it easy and not be like Kavi, thinking about creating wonders and making big news all day long.

"Don't worry too much, there will be ways to alleviate the financial problems."

However, Nashida did not feel any sense of urgency and immediately confirmed the matter.

...

"How about it? Our Xumi's latest technological creation is pretty good, isn't it?"

At the end of the test train carriage, two elderly people were chatting happily.

It is not difficult to tell from Buyer's slightly boastful tone that she is very satisfied with this creation called "train".

"In terms of general rationality, there is still room for improvement, but overall, it is good."

Sitting in the window seat, the handsome man in a golden dragon-patterned robe nodded, agreeing with his friend's point of view.

As the god of precious gold, he was well aware of the value of this new type of transportation machinery, and also understood why the Xumi authorities invited him to experience it.

"Of course. This thing was developed under the personal guidance of my Nashida. It is definitely not worse than your Hutao's Hall of Rebirth."

Hearing that his old friend also agreed with this, Buyer felt even happier and started to change the topic to his daughter.

Since they met again, whenever Walnut was not around, Boyer, like other parents, would compare Walnut and Nashida from time to time.

From the degree of obedience to the achievements achieved, almost everything is compared.

Zhongli was speechless about this, so whenever Buyer started talking about this, he would automatically change the subject.

After all, comparing a god like Nashida with Walnut is really bullying. I really don't know how my old friend could say that. It seems like he was just trying to tease me, which makes me feel helpless.

Alas~ I didn't expect that the god of wisdom would be worn down by time into this state. It's really sad.

"Why aren't you talking? Look, this time Walnut went off to meet her online friend again, leaving you alone to ride the train with me. And my Nashida cooks for me every day. Aren't you envious?"

With the same smirk as Nashida on his face, Buyer was very pleased with Zhongli's silence.

She had completely forgotten how she had taught Nashida a lesson a few days ago and what methods she had used to make Nashida cook for her every day.

Nashida: I have no opinion (serious)

"Whatever the hall master wants to do, let her do it. I won't interfere."

Thinking back to when Hu Tao said hello and ran away before he got on the bus, like an old father, Zhongli sighed.

After arriving at Xumi, Hu Tao became inexplicably addicted to the virtual network. He even stopped going to the streets to find people to sell his products to. Now he goes to meet his netizens every day and doesn't know what to do.

"Well, Boyer, just tell me what you want to talk to me about."

Seeing that Buyer wanted to continue, Zhongli finally couldn't hold it anymore and quickly opened his mouth to try to get the topic back on track.

If he had known earlier, he should not have let Buyer recognize Walnut as his sister. Now, Buyer has completely learned Walnut's eccentricity, leaving him completely helpless.

“Ahem, let’s put these things aside for now.” Seeing that Zhongli’s tone was becoming serious, Buyer straightened his expression and became serious.

As long as she talks about serious matters, she is still the god of wisdom, the respectable great compassionate tree king.

"Cooperation and win-win are the themes of Teyvat today. As friendly neighbors for generations, Liyue and Xumi are naturally the same."

"For the well-being of the people of both countries, we at Xumi have specially proposed to build the Xumi-Liyue railway and establish a community of shared destiny between Xumi and Liyue. What do you think of Emperor Yan?"

Chapter 160: Apep's Personal Opinion

"I am already at the Café Puspa, are you here, Your Majesty Apep?"

Wearing a Qiankun Bagua hat and a brown long jacket, he stood in front of the agreed coffee shop. Seeing that his good friend had not shown up, the lively and active Hu Tao was a little unhappy.

Her friend was good in every way except her sense of time, which made her anxious. She was so impatient that she had to wait for a long time every time they met.

In the other person's words, "Dragons don't care about time!", so it is normal to be late often.

But for her, a short-lived person, this kind of waiting is really uncomfortable. If it weren't for the other party's special identity and the fact that this friendship was not hard-earned, she would have ignored the other party long ago.

As for now, she could only wait for the other party to stop dawdling and come over to meet her.

"Little Walnut, you don't think I'm late again, look behind you now."

With a ding-dong sound, a message was transmitted from the void terminal to Hu Tao's eyes, followed by a creaky sound, and the door of the cafe behind her suddenly opened.

"What's wrong? Are you surprised? You don't really think I'm the kind of person who doesn't check the time every day, do you?"

As Walnut looked as if he had seen a ghost, a young figure walked out of the cafe, with one hand on his waist and a somewhat unfriendly look on his face.

This person is the friend she has been waiting for today, the sister of the current God of Xumi Grass, Little Auspicious Grass King...

"Haha, no, no, how dare I doubt the great His Majesty Apep."

Scratching his head awkwardly, Kurumi felt a little embarrassed facing the other party's majestic golden vertical pupils.

Even though she is the most famous social figure in Liyue Harbor, she still feels guilty in this situation.

But soon, her lively personality took over again, and she walked straight forward and grabbed Apep's little hand and moved to his side.

Although she was very surprised at first about this netizen with an astonishing identity, after spending more than ten days together, Hu Tao, who is already a social expert, is now able to face her calmly and regard her as an ordinary friend.

And in the process of getting along, she, who was familiar with interpersonal communication, quickly figured out the other party's easy-to-understand personality, and coaxed the god to great satisfaction.

But for some reason, whenever she wanted to introduce her guest to Apep, the other party's expression would become stiff, and no matter how hard she tried to introduce and bring them together, the two sides could not utter a single word for a long time.

This made her very angry. You have to know that this person is the sister of Xumi Grass God, but her own guest was so arrogant and didn't even say a word. It can be said that he didn't give her any face at all.

Fortunately, even though her guest was so ignorant, it did not affect her friendship with His Majesty Apep, which made her feel relieved.

Otherwise, if because of Zhongli, the Wangsheng Hall offended the gods of Xumi, she would make Zhongli suffer no matter what and deduct all his salary.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty Apep, why did you call me here this time? You also specifically asked me not to bring the guests with me."

Back to the topic, Hu Tao's visit to Apep was actually very sudden. She did not receive any notice in advance. She even postponed her originally scheduled visit just to come and meet Apep.

This made her very curious, and she didn't know what this little god was up to.

"Well, of course I have my reasons."

Apep shook off Kurumi's little hand. As a giant dragon, she certainly would not allow a human to hold her hand, especially since she was much shorter than the other person.

But at the same time, she did not blame the other party for "offending God" at all. It can be seen that Apep was still very satisfied with Walnut.

"Come with me first. I have reserved the Puspa Cafe for today. No other humans will come to disturb us."

I can only say that he is worthy of being a god. He accomplished what Hu Tao could not do with just one sentence.

You know, this Pushpa Cafe is located in a prime location in Xumi City. If you want to book it, the cost will definitely not be a small amount.

However, after so many days of baptism, Walnut had long been accustomed to Apep's lavish spending style and was no longer surprised by it.

Not only that, she could be said to have experienced Zhongli's happiness these days. As long as she went shopping with Apep, no matter what she wanted to buy, he would buy it for her directly without her having to spend a penny.

Although Hu Tao refused at first, after hearing "the bill should be sent to Jingshan Palace", she finally followed Zhongli's old path.

I can only say that sending bills is really fun.

"I called you here this time because I want you to be my witness. Together with the travelers, you can witness my ability to make decisions on my own and see the smallest details."

Walking up to the second floor of the cafe, Hu Tao almost immediately saw Paimon eating heartily and Ying who was holding her forehead with her hand beside her.

"Ying, Paimon, I didn't expect to see you here!"

When meeting acquaintances, Hu Tao certainly wouldn't be polite. He rushed to the two of them and started rubbing Emergency Food's hair.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Kurumi. Why are you here in Xumi?"

Ignoring Paimon's look for help, Ying was obviously very happy to see Hu Tao in Xumi.

But while she was happy, she was also a little confused. After all, she had been busy catching people in Xumi with Paimon during this period of time. She had no chance to notice the cooperation between Wangsheng Hall and Xumi, and naturally did not know about Hu Tao's arrival.

Originally, she was curious about who this friend of Apep was, but she didn't expect it to be Hu Tao. However, after thinking about it carefully, considering Hu Tao's strong personality, it seems possible that he knows Apep.

"Since you two know each other, I won't waste my time introducing you. Let's get down to business."

After giving the three some time to reminisce about the past, and feeling that the time was about right, Apep began to talk about the purpose of why she invited the three of them today.

It turned out that since she came to Xumi City, due to her appearance which was no different from Nashida, even though she had already made up a lot of common sense about human society in advance, she still made a lot of jokes and caused a lot of trouble to the Xumi officials.

So, after enduring for quite a long time, Nashida finally couldn't bear it anymore and called her over for a sisterly talk.

The conversation was very long, but the main point can be summarized in one sentence.

"Let's get down to business, onee-sama!"

Therefore, Apep, who was disliked by his sister, was deeply shocked and determined to do something "serious" to prove himself.

So she approached Ying and Paimeng who were arresting people all over Xumi, and expressed her willingness to help them in their anti-counterrevolutionary work.

According to her thinking, she is not good at thinking, but she is good at fighting, so as long as Ying gives her information, she can go directly to the homes of those corrupt elements to give them warmth.

By the way, she also pulled in her friend, Hu Tao, whom she had made with great difficulty, to act as a third party to verify the authenticity of her "business".

Apep believed that as long as she could capture enough people, Nashida would be impressed by her.

Chapter 161: Adid was the first to be arrested

Since he has made up his mind to do something big, Apep will naturally not be interested in those small shrimps when choosing targets.

If she wants to catch someone, she must catch the big tiger!

"So, Apep, what you mean is that we should just go and arrest those senior officials directly?" After hearing Apep's plan, Paimon felt a little ashamed.

Originally, she thought that Apep had gone to such great lengths to call them here because he had some different insights and strategies.
