"At least this time these guys didn't say 'this is a copy of our dwarven technology' right?"

When discussing this at the meeting, Aslan casually mentioned this, which made everyone feel funny -

After the establishment of the Crusader Knights, the silver dwarves of the Frostforge clan were somewhat panicked. They were worried that the strength of the Crusaders would interfere with the interests of the Frostforge. However, they were unwilling to completely integrate and submit to the Crusades.

Also, because of the conflicts between the Crusader Knights and them over the lead dwarfs' mines, the current situation between the two sides is somewhat bad.

Perhaps the Silver Dwarves wanted to help the Crusaders build roads and water conservancy facilities to show their usefulness and ease the relationship between the two sides. However, this tactic was rejected by Aslan. The reason was of course that using their own engineers was much cheaper than hiring Silver Dwarf engineers at high salaries.

Although the Crusaders made a fortune from the North-South trade, they were still not rich and had to spend money sparingly.

Moreover, if they gave in to the Silver Dwarves on this matter, the Crusaders would not be able to speak with confidence on the issue of the Lead Dwarf mines.

After tense negotiations and even a military standoff with the Silver Dwarves, the two sides finally reached a reluctant partition agreement.

In the end, the Crusaders controlled 70% of these lead dwarf mines, and occupied the most valuable adamantium mine, a mithril mine, two star iron mines and a magic crystal mine.

In addition, several coal mines that were not particularly valued at present were also controlled by the Crusaders. The Silver Dwarves could only occupy 30% of the mines with curses.

Aslan handed over the crystal mines, agate mines, gem mines and the like to the silver dwarves. Although these luxury goods were valuable, they had no military value.

……

In addition to the water conservancy facilities that require a large amount of earthwork and new road projects, an increasingly large number of orc slaves are also working desperately in mines everywhere.

Even though the dwarves kept complaining, saying that a mine built without the participation of dwarves would be destroyed in a mine accident, killing the whole family, etc., Aslan would never believe such feudal superstition.

He only believed in strict engineering quality control and excellent engineering technology, rather than the mysterious power of dwarves.

……

In the absence of new equipment such as mechanical drills, mining is still a labor-intensive industry. The addition of large numbers of slave orcs has indeed increased the mining volume of the mines controlled by the Crusaders.

As the armaments of the southern countries become increasingly intense, these minerals are all hard currency... Of course, even if it is hard currency, it is becoming increasingly difficult to exchange it for other strategic resources.

It's not just strategic metals that are rising in price, food, salt, cloth, magic materials, leather, animal glue, herbs, war horses, livestock... these strategic resources are also rising in price. Of course, people are also rising in price -

After losing their jobs in the North, the mercenaries who went to the South caught the opportunity and made a lot of money.

Of course, the one that Big Head can get is still someone like Aslan.

Both the Phoenicus family and the Griffin family continued to try to win over Aslan - even though Aslan had already issued a neutral statement, they still felt that if they offered more capital, it would not be impossible to win Aslan over.

After all, on Earth, Frederick II, a recognized typical Machiavellian, once wrote a book called "Refuting Machiavellianism" in his youth, making him look very noble and great.

Although many of his flip-flops, inconsistencies, and failures in the future would backfire like a boomerang and hit him on the head, it did not prevent Frederick II from becoming one of the most famous monarchs in the world.

The same thing happened to Aslan.

As long as Aslan led his 30,000 crusaders south to participate in this war, he would be given as much as he wanted. Money, unequal treaties, trade privileges, territory, women, whatever he wanted.

The Griffin Queen wants to play herself, whether she is defeated by Aslan Lep or Lep Aslan.

After receiving the news, Duke Darcus von Phinex also gritted his teeth and sent an envoy to discuss with Aslan in a slightly implicit way:

"Stop staring at that old queen woman. My daughter is super pretty! How about marrying you and helping me?!"

If Aslan had not known that the Duke's daughter of Phoenicus was a super flying pig, he might have thought about it for a few seconds. But now, Aslan could only claim that he was not interested in women and was upright.

……

Time entered the year 1002. As preparations for war were stepped up all over the world and diplomats were flying everywhere, hoping to win more allies for their support, Aslan also spread the news that the "new seed has been completed." He also announced that he would do his best to plant this kind of rye in the land under his direct jurisdiction.

Although this kind of rye is said to have a very ordinary taste, let alone white bread, the black bread made from it can even be compared with baguette. But no matter what, it is also food, food, food, food. In this farming era, food is the most important productivity, and there is no other. It’s okay if the taste is a little worse, after all, there are still many people in the world who will starve to death because they can’t afford to eat. Even if the taste of rye bread is bad, it’s better than Guanyin soil, right?

While growing rye on a large scale, Aslan was also trying to introduce [old species] from the Old World.

The most surprising thing is that when the elves fled to the new world, they did not bring more seeds of [elven wheat] and [elven taro]. As a result, these two high-yield crops can only exist in legends.

It is said that recently, adventurers in the Old World have rescued some Elf wheat and Elf taro from some ancient Elf ruins cities, and have begun to try to plant them in several colonies in the Old World.

Aslan hopes to import some and try to recultivate these two legendary high-yield crops, and then improve the varieties to make them suitable for cultivation in the Northern Territory.

……

In addition to seeds, the magic alchemical fertilizer factory is also producing in an orderly manner. At the same time, a pesticide that only targets pests and diseases and is harmless to the human body is also produced.

Of course, in order to successfully operate these two factories, the Crusaders must have more professional and technical personnel. However, except for a very small number of people who believe in humanism or come to join the Crusaders because they think the future is bright, Aslan does not have more professional and technical personnel.

Therefore, if you want to operate these two factories, as well as more factories in the future, you must first create more puppet maids who can directly possess knowledge and skills.

For a long time to come, the Puppet Maid will definitely become the biggest pillar of the Crusader Knights State.

They are the most elite legion of the Crusader Knights, the most dedicated grassroots civil servants and middle-level officials, as well as excellent factory technicians and scientific researchers.

In the future, when Aslan will establish more academies and cultivate his own talents, these puppet maids will also become doctors and teachers.

All the professional and technical personnel needed to run a modern country can be produced in batches and continuously through production lines.

After acquiring a large amount of minerals from the Northern Territory, especially magic metals and magic crystals, the raw materials needed to increase the production line of puppet maids have been completely solved.

So in the end, it's still that question - when puppet maids with a certain level of artificial intelligence, or even strong artificial intelligence, appear in large numbers in all aspects of the Crusader Knights State, how can we make them completely obedient and not rebel?

Chapter 53: The Marshal’s Bride?

How to control artificial intelligence life and prevent them from rebelling is, of course, an eternal and timeless topic in an era of ever-advancing technology. Especially for this, Aslan had no reference intelligence.

He could certainly use the three laws of robotics and let these puppet maids execute them when designing the underlying logic - but is this law really reliable? It must be unreliable.

So, use unparalleled powerful force to suppress these artificial intelligences and make them obey you?

Let's not talk about the fact that Aslan doesn't have such a strong power now. Even if Aslan really has such a strong power in the future, he can't get their true support by relying on force to suppress them. What Aslan wants is a useful tool who obeys him unconditionally, not a group of guys with resentment.

So, what about the term system? Is it okay to give these people a loyalty term?

But the problem is that Aslan has indeed accumulated more than 2 destiny points during this period. However, with 1500 points per entry, he can only get puppet maids.

The number of puppet maids that Aslan will mass-produce in the future is at least 80,000, if not 100,000. Even with the expansion of the Crusader Knights, it is foreseeable that the number of puppet maids will increase to hundreds of thousands or millions in the future.

In this case, if all the entries are given to the puppet maid, will Aslan be able to do anything else in the future?

Therefore, at most, we will add entries to the top and second-top maids, and forget about the others.

So this can be omitted.

So what else can Aslan provide in large quantities that can make the puppet maids loyal?

Emperor Fluid?

Aslan couldn't help but think.

This is not a joke. Because Aslan's level of Wa has been continuously improved in recent times, and the quality of his creatures has also been continuously improved, so the Emperor's Liquid, which was originally regarded as a divine product by Yelena's mother, has now developed in the direction of a panacea.

A sip of it can beautify and moisturize the skin on the outside, regulate yin and yang on the inside and strengthen the body. Drink a sip when you feel sleepy to feel energetic, drink a sip when you are injured or sick to get well, and when your magic power is exhausted, take a sip to replenish it successfully.

And this is just the basic use of the Emperor Liquid.

According to Yelena's mother's analysis, Aslan's current body's magical radiation is no less powerful than that of a metal dragon in its old age.

It is the kind that if one stays in an area for a long time, he will affect the topography of that area, and if his clan members stay with him for a long time, they will be transformed into that subspecies and even gain the power of the dragon veins.

As the essence of Aslan, the magic energy contained in the Emperor Fluid is extremely powerful. It completely surpasses the level of ordinary extremely old golden dragons and even reaches the level of ancient golden dragons. If it continues to evolve, it is not impossible to reach the level of the legendary ancient dragon clan or even the ancestral dragon of ancient times.

Using such super crystals to cultivate a clan or to improve the relationship with people who are close to Aslan is an option.

Probably, if Aslan tries harder to inject the Emperor Fluid into the girls, the girls will develop in the direction of Aslan's followers, and while their strength will be enhanced, they will also gain the feeling of dragon veins.

As for Lady Elizabeth and Connor, who were already giant dragons, after doing this and that with Aslan, it was not just possible for them to lay eggs. The most important thing was that their life forms also began to evolve.

The original Kanna received the blessing of the legendary silver dragon ancestor and sublimated towards the direction of the divine silver dragon. And Lady Elizabeth is a silver dragon blessed by the dragon god Bahamut.

This time, she became Aslan's lover. Every morning and evening, she treated Aslan to ice cream, peaches, bamboo shoots, etc. For such a long time, she was constantly upgraded and evolved towards the powerful ancestor dragon of the ancient times when the dragons had not degenerated. The happy little silver dragon kept getting into Aslan's arms. She wished that her brother Aslan could ride her all day and night.

Lady Elizabeth thought more, thinking that Aslan's existence might have a greater meaning, or that this was the will of the Dragon God, asking Aslan to make a metal dragon Great Gagain.

Think about her and Kanna. After just one or two years of doing this and that with Aslan, their bloodline has already regressed to this extent. In addition, Aslan is so vigorous and energetic. Although the number of lovers has exceeded double digits, it can be seen that it is far from reaching Aslan's limit.

In other words, is it possible to introduce more metal dragons to Aslan as lovers, so that the lives of more metal dragons can be sublimated, and even further sublimate the life levels of all silver dragons and even the entire metal dragon clan?

Although it is a bit embarrassing and even a bit shameless to introduce other women to your lover, if we consider the survival and prosperity of the race, then it seems that it is not wrong to be a little shameless.

Lady Elizabeth, still held in Aslan's arms today, was particularly conflicted.

……

The topic has gone a bit off topic. Aslan was thinking about the use of the Emperor Fluid and the matter of using bio-energy magic radiation to produce family members.

The dragon's followers are almost 100% absolutely loyal to the dragon. The strong hierarchical order engraved in their genes makes it impossible for the sub-dragons and dragon's followers to resist the dragon.

Now Aslan is almost a powerful humanoid dragon. He is qualified and capable of obtaining a family. In fact, the silver-scaled kobolds and silver-scaled lizardmen from the silver dragon are eagerly looking forward to Aslan taking them as his family.

They seemed to think Aslan was a powerful dragon lord. Although in a sense, this understanding was not wrong.

But Aslan despised them.

However, if I could recruit puppet maids to become my followers... wouldn't that be perfect?

The problem is that the puppet maids are not living creatures, at least not completely living creatures, and they cannot even be considered to have complete souls.

In this case, can the puppet maids really be considered as followers?

"I wonder if it will work if I use the Emperor Liquid to inject it..." Aslan thought to himself, and decided to contract this research project to Yelena's mother.

In recent times, Aslan has been putting a lot of pressure on Yelena.

In addition to this and that, he also worked hard and spent money to upgrade Yelena's several scientific research entries to the top level.

Of course, I also pinched my nose and upgraded Nana's scientific research talent. No matter what, Nana is still quite useful. If she keeps her mouth shut and doesn't have such a rich facial expression, she is still a beautiful woman.

Especially many of the rather crude and extremely anti-human and inhumane research projects, even Yelena's mother would frown, but this guy can do it happily and joyfully without any obstacles.

This also made Aslan understand why she, a legendary druid + legendary wizard, was disliked by the forest elves.

He could pry open the orc's skull, cut the brain, and then stuff the biomass of the Fomi Ants in. He was also laughing like a psychopath. Not to mention the elves, even Aslan couldn't stand it.

"Isn't it all for you? You are such a heartless person."

Of course, Nana could complain like this, leaving Aslan with nothing to complain about and he could only reward him well that night.

So now, the experiment was replaced by the puppet maid. Aslan hoped that Nana could continue to be stubborn.

"I see, let's turn the puppet maid into a dragon family."

After listening to Aslan's request, the elven teacher nodded thoughtfully. On the other side, Yelena's mother said, "Is this really necessary? We have already input enough loyalty instructions when making the puppet maid."

Aslan: "Yes, but more insurance is always necessary."

"In that case, in terms of cost..." Yelena's mother frowned.

After the Crusaders broke through the Northern Territory, the supply of various magic materials, especially magic crystals and magic metals, became increasingly abundant, allowing Yelena's mother's magic maid puppet factory to produce more magic maids at a faster rate.

The puppet maids can help with production and construction, and can make more magic mechanical devices. These magic mechanical devices can process more magic metals and magic crystals. Magic metals and magic crystals can then be made into more puppet maids...

This cycle repeats itself over and over again. In the secret base in the ice and snow of the Northern Territory, the number of Aslan's puppet maids will increase, increase, and increase...

In addition to the basic Puppet Maids, there are also Puppet Maid Guards, Puppet Maid Sailors, Heavy Armored Puppet Maids, Puppet Maid Centaur Raiders, Puppet Maid Mechas, Puppet Maid Battle Mages, Puppet Maid Flying Soldiers... and so on, all kinds of strange troops are also being produced at the fastest speed.

It's even more stupid than the Necromancer.

After all, the Necromancer still needs corpses to increase the number of his troops.

But as for puppets, as long as there are enough raw materials, resources and energy, they can grow almost infinitely.

A puppet maid for battle, a puppet maid for administration, a puppet maid for Zero...

When following Aslan's plan, Yelena, Nana and the most reliable magic apprentices they recruited were very surprised to find that the Maid Empire that Aslan had mentioned before was not just a fantasy, but something that could really be realized.

Relying on a large number of puppet maids, Aslan can establish an unparalleled efficient and honest government and an unparalleled powerful army. It may even restore the glory of the old magic empire!

Of course, after considering so much, the puppet rebellion that Aslan is worried about must be taken more seriously.

"Why don't you kill them all, so they won't betray you, right?"

After thinking for a while, Teacher Nana suggested an unexpected path.

Chapter 54: Hive Mind and Militarism, the Prosperous North and the Superfast Rise

Aslan looked at Nana as if she were an idiot.

Even if I have a sub-dimensional space with a different speed of time flow and a super invincible kidney, it is impossible for me to have tens of millions of puppet maids, right?

Even thousands of them would be difficult.

But if we try hard, we can probably handle a few thousand of them - that's not the point, the point is that this plan really doesn't work.

"Yes, yes, I know, but, you know, the network, the network, the biological network, the biological nature of the Fomi ants, as long as the queen ant's brain has an idea, the entire colony will take action.

Or maybe it's the existence of the mind suckers, as long as the main brain is happy, then all the mind suckers will feel happy. Or maybe it's the relationship between gods and believers..."
