Original God, life in red Teyvat from scratch

The people in the team went forward to check it out.

It is exactly as described.

"What do you usually do with these things?"

"As fuel, we don't have much charcoal here, so we usually burn these."

"Can we get some samples?"

"Of course, please do."

The squad leader ordered his men to start taking samples, and Gerard watched their work from the side.

"Would it be convenient for you to take us to see the origin of these things? If my guess is correct, we may have a long-term cooperation in the future."

The squad leader is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart.

Before, he only knew a limited number of common words and lacked some in-depth knowledge, but it was only because of limited conditions that he did not have the opportunity to receive more education.

Before coming here, after a period of study in the army, the squad leader, as one of the most outstanding students, has initially acquired some scientific thinking.

He has a certain understanding and his own opinions on the current development of Haigi Island.

Mechanization and mass production are the hallmarks of current development, and materials are one of the major foundations.

Since they were specifically told to find this thing in front of them, it was most likely some important material that might be used on a large scale.

Once they have confirmed the samples, the next step will probably be large-scale development.

Gerard and his team are located in the place of origin of this material and have a history of cooperation with them, so they are definitely the first choice.

But to Gerrard's ears, the emphasis was on the four words "long-term cooperation".

For his mercenary group, this means a stable income from Mora.

"sure"

After seeing that they had finished sampling the barrels and put them into containers and sealed them, Gerard took them out of the camp.

After walking about a thousand meters, they saw a small black "mud flat".

It seemed that water was still slowly seeping out from underground, and in some places it was still bubbling.

"It's right here." Gerard pointed to the small black area and explained to the squad leader and others.

"This stuff smells terrible, people don't like it and regard it as a kind of pollution. Scholars from the Fatwa have studied it and concluded that it is useless except for burning. Compared with things like charcoal, this stuff is not only difficult to mine and transport, but also smells bad and does not burn well. Not many people use it. That is why people like us who lack charcoal in the desert use local materials."

The squad leader listened to Gerard's explanation without saying much. He just asked someone to go forward to take samples and to do a simple survey of the terrain.

After a while, the squad leader suddenly remembered something and asked Gerald, "Do people in the desert usually use it as fuel?"

"Not really. It should be very little. We are far away from the rain forest and transportation is not convenient. We just happened to have this thing with us, so we used it to make do. Most other people still rely on things like charcoal."

It turned out to be the case.

The monitor nodded and silently wrote down Gerard's words.

It seems that this thing is not widely distributed in the desert. In the short term, they should only be able to find this one place.

In this way, the importance of Gerrard and others will increase again.

"Speaking of which..."

Gerard's words were a little hesitant, and the squad leader looked back and found that his expression seemed a little conflicted.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

"I read the pages of manuscript you left for me. The contents opened the door to a new world for me."

"Yo~"

The squad leader was a little surprised. It had only been such a short time, but the other party not only dealt with the internal strife, but also finished reading the things he left behind while injured?

This kid is a talent!

"Any ideas?"

"Yes. There are some things here that I have understood and they coincide with my thoughts, but there are also some things that I still don't understand. For example, in the division between enemies and friends, you regard the soldiers of your enemies as potential friends. For example, can the people of the Relics of the God King be friends with us? And there is also the Thirty-Man Group."

"Why not? This is actually easier to understand than the relationship on our side. Many of the people in the Legacy of the God King were forced to join. They have long been dissatisfied with this, but they are just worried about the handle and are reluctant to act rashly. They are all your potential friends. As for the Legacy of the God King, your enemies are only their upper rulers, those who hold the handle and black material and use it to threaten you."

The squad leader felt that he should strike a proper balance, as what he was saying now was not in the manuscript.

This is not something that can be said. There are not many people in the Haiqi Army who are qualified to learn these things, and all of them have to go through layers of review.

"In short, you need to analyze your enemies and friends specifically, and not view your enemies as a complete whole. You must know that a solid fortress is often breached from the inside. Again, enemies and friends, in the final analysis, are determined by interests, and they can often change in an instant."

"And at which stage should you unite with which people, oppose which people, and be wary of which people? This is what you need to consider as a leader if you want to develop and grow in the long run, just like the action that killed your former leader..."

"Report! Sampling completed, terrain survey completed, images preserved, mission accomplished."

The squad leader was still trying to talk to Gerard more when he was interrupted by the deputy squad leader's report.

So he just waved his hand and didn't say anything else.

Anyway, Gerrard is a smart man, he will definitely be able to figure it out on his own.

Some things just need to be said briefly.

Looking at the people who had packed up and were about to leave, the squad leader nodded and said, "This way, our mission this time is complete. We should hurry on our way back. I think we can catch up with Big Sister Beidou and her group when they set sail."

"Gerald." The squad leader looked back at him. "Protect your area well. I have a feeling that your big business is coming soon."

Chapter 135 Technology Explosion

On the Death Star, Beidou frowned and observed the situation on Wanglong Pier through a monocular telescope.

A large number of products similar to the Fontaine clockwork mechanism were operating on the dock. The workers were wearing a set of simple mechanical equipment and were working on the dock, carrying large goods and tools that seemed a bit heavy to her.

In addition to these clockwork mechanisms, there are also some vehicles that run on their own without any human or animal power.

Well, it should be a vehicle, with wheels, able to carry cargo, and able to run.

Beidou was also surprised by the loading capacity of these vehicles.

“…Am I in the wrong place???”

Putting down the telescope, Beidou asked himself questions with a look of doubt on his face.

There are clockwork robots everywhere. She came to the Mototaki Pier on Inazuma Umijima Island, not the Fontainebleau Lighthouse!

But look at this unique scenery again, this is Ugi Island, right? !

"Or did I travel through time?"

Beidou can't figure it out, Beidou can't understand it.

It's only been more than two months, how come the other party has changed so much?

The boat I saw when I came here last time is now nearly completed, and there are no signs of construction on the main part.

It’s incredible, the speed of shipbuilding is so fast!

How long would it take to build a ship of this size in Liyue Harbor?

Not to mention, the ship is made of steel.

And it's not just this one ship. There are several more docks under construction right next to it.

They may have other subsequent shipbuilding plans.

"It's only been two months, right?"

Beidou turned to Shigesa who also had a dull expression beside him.

"It seems like it's been more than two months. To be exact, it should be two months and ten days..." Shigezo's words were also full of uncertainty.

We agreed that everyone would go for the medieval retro style, so how come you suddenly jumped to the near-future sci-fi style?

As Beidou and his crew were stunned and in mixed emotions, the Death Star slowly docked at the port.

Looking closely at the all-steel ship in the opponent's dock, which was several times larger than the Death Star, Beidou was not envious at all.

Really.

Damn, suddenly the Death Star doesn't seem so attractive anymore.

"I say, what ancient technology did you pick up?"

As soon as he got off the boat, Beidou couldn't wait to ask.

"You're kidding. There's no such thing as ancient technology. It's just a natural development."

Only Xinhai came to receive Beidou this time. Jiang Ming was still constantly revising the development plan of 5+2 white+black because the technology was developing so fast.

Often, every time he takes one new technology into consideration, three or more new technologies emerge.

This development plan has been revised more than a dozen times. Fortunately, Haigi Island is not large in scale. If it were a larger country, a lot of people would be exhausted just by revising the plan.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Beidou didn't say much, but just looked at the many new things on the dock with curiosity.

What you see through a telescope will never have the extreme details that can be observed up close.

Now cranes have become common at Wanglong Wharf, and they are now unloading heavy cargo for their merchant ships.

The mechanical equipment worn by those workers seemed to have the main part at the back, with the limbs being just a simple piece of metal. A large number of cables, metal pipes and gears were exposed, making it look very simple.

But it is very practical.

She saw with her own eyes an ordinary, weak-looking female worker who felt no strength at all lift a standard 1*1*1 box.

Well, that box, if she remembered correctly, was filled with tin ingots.

Beidou looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly asked: "Can your metal mechanical equipment provide assistance?"

Xin Hai took a look and replied calmly, "The power mechanical exoskeleton system is a deep improvement based on the improved electric power mechanism of Xavier's team."

"So, the clockwork mechanism next to it is what you are talking about..."

"The electric-powered mechanism is indeed a technical improvement based on the clockwork mechanism."

“Those cars…”

"Electric-driven light trucks, heavy trucks have not yet been successfully developed, and we usually call them trucks."

"Lightweight?"

Beidou looked over there and saw a large truck taking off with its motor whistling.

You call this lightweight?

How big is the heavy one?

"Incredible..."

Beidou shook her head, still a little shocked, and suddenly, she came back to her senses.

"So that means you can use these things in Liyue, right?"

"Yes, Captain Beidou, if you want it, you just need to pay the right Mora."

"Now that Liyue has started to implement the Hai Hong Kong dollar policy, is this your idea? Why don't you consider it?"

Xinhai looked at Beidou in surprise.

The other party moves so quickly?

She thought she would have to wait a little longer.

This batch of seven stars is very efficient.

Or is it that the pressure from Northland Bank is really too great?

After a little thought, Xinhai rejected the proposal.

"Inazuma is too isolated here. I'm afraid the new wind of currency reform won't reach us. In the short term, we still need to use Mora."

"Pity."

Beidou shook her head and didn't argue any further. She could also see the situation on Kaigi Island.

"Here is the catalog of goods we currently have for sale. If Captain Beidou wants to buy something, just tick the box here."
