Ark, I, the Lord of the Succubus Court

132 Casimir's True Source of Power

Old bitches always like to test things out before telling the truth.

Even so it always takes a lot of time.

After entering the passage above the factory, Onion Knight did not speak directly to Luo Ji, but instead chatted about various things.

Just start with the name.

The Onion family name is actually not a very strange family name.

Some of the foreign-style family titles, when directly translated, would sound like hammer, wheel, salmon, knife, and other strange things.

It's just like how our ancestors worked for the knight's palace for generations, ran a blacksmith shop, and a bakery that specialized in baking bread for the knight's castle.

Luo Ji plays the role of Dayan Agol businessman very well.

In fact, Da Yan is almost the same~

If you delve deeper into Dayan's surname, you will find that it is basically the same as the hammer and the wheel.

The oldest names, rather than the ones that were later awarded by the emperor, are often those kinds of names.

People who live by the water, people who make wheels for chariots, people who raise silkworms, people from the north...some of their surnames can even be translated as female sea eagle.

In some places, the cultural customs of people around the world are highly consistent. For example, the pronunciation of "dad" and "mom" is highly consistent in many languages.

Even though the Onion Knight didn't say it explicitly, Luo Ji was willing to accompany him in rounds of tug-of-war.

Just think of it as a halftime break.

The Succubus Lord has been practicing intensively with Xiao Xigua in the world of the painting for several years.

The Succubus Lord is in great health and has no problems at all. He can continue fighting and even becomes more courageous as the battle goes on.

But Xiao Xigua can't do that.

It even makes people a little worried that Xiao Xigua might become a person who has nothing else in his mind except exercising and running out of mana.

Fortunately, however, age-phase fragments are just age-phase fragments.

Gods are gods.

Not so easy to break down.

Continue moving forward inside the factory where steel is being refined.

Standing on the steel plank road inside the factory, you can clearly see the working conditions of the factory below.

Few workers

The degree of automation was even far beyond Luo Ji's imagination.

Even the dangerous steps in steelmaking are being controlled by AI cars.

The entire assembly line for refining various types of Terra-specific steels is maintained by only a very small number of people.

This is the real core of Casimir.

The knightly arena is just a false phenotype.

The production line that can provide various types of armor for knight competitions... and even treat armor with different functions as toys and waste them on the field, is the real core of the country of Casimir.

Or in other words, the true power of this country.

Much more powerful than expected.

The Onion Knight raised his hand and pointed at a towering furnace:

"Once the Volcano 625 is turned on, it cannot be stopped for years. Once it is stopped and ignited again, the loss will be an unbearable cost for the entire project. So sometimes, even if it loses a ton of money for producing a ton of steel, it must maintain production."

Luo Ji nodded, "Twenty years to clean up a little dust?"

"Mr. Ezekiel, Columbia's professionals did think that way when they designed and conceived it for us."

The Onion Knight mentioned the title of the Succubus Lord. "But it always settles down for various reasons. Just like the factory in Londinium, there were too many factors beyond our expectations, such as the struggle for power and the chaos of war. On the contrary, the expected overload and explosion...they never happened once."

"Casimir has been quite peaceful lately."

Luo Ji was sure that the other party was indeed aware of his identity.

The Onion Knight introduced himself once again.

He did go to Victoria and was a student at the Royal College of Victoria, belonging to the Steam College branch.

His name even appears on the annual donation tablet of the Royal Victoria Institution.

"Peace?"

After reintroducing himself, the Onion Knight simply shook his head, "There has never been peace in Casimir."

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the central furnace, which was the most important part of the steel plant. "It has stopped four times in twelve years due to energy supply and urban reconstruction issues."

"Supervisory Commission?"

"No, another department in charge of the city."

The Onion Knight turned and walked away with a gesture of invitation, inviting Luo Ji to continue visiting the real heart of Casimir.

Support and maintain Casimir, the real backbone of the neutral country in the cracks.

Casimir was the source of strength that enabled him to defeat the military power of Ursus several times and even launch counterattacks several times.

“However, they are indeed the same group of people as the Immigration and Customs Commission.”

Onion Knight and Luo Ji chatted aimlessly for a while.

Or maybe, it's not just small talk, but he is trying to firmly express his position and ideas through something.

When they left the steel plant, a sightseeing bus was already waiting for them outside.

The beautiful Kuranta drove the sightseeing bus and took them to other areas.

Xi was in another closed car, following behind with a cold drink in her hand and talking on the car air conditioner.

The second stop is the life support center of the Grand Knight Territory.

In such a large industrial park, fully loaded logistics vehicles are constantly running busy on the extremely spacious road.

A huge building complex similar to a multi-story parking garage, with cold chain supporting infrastructure such as cold storage next to it.

Almost all the food, fruits and vegetables that Knight Casimir receives are provided by this area.

The Onion Knight explained to Luo Ji how many tons of grain, vegetables and fruits this area could provide, and how many tons of food the logistics companies had to circulate and transfer here every day in order for the Great Knight Territory to maintain its current prosperity.

Luo Ji did see a familiar name in this park: Rhine Life.

We also learned who the patent holder of this Rhine Life from Columbia is: Muir Seth.

The vast land is still more or less connected, and each country is no longer an almost completely independent entity.

While visiting the basic life support facilities, Onion told Luo Ji about the grudges between his family and the real knights, as well as the grudges between them, the knights' squires, and the knights themselves.

After the Onion Knight family got started with "onions", they have experienced many ups and downs.

If we simply summarize those things.

That is:

Businessmen cannot resist power.

Businessmen are able to do whatever they want, often because of the intentional or unintentional indulgence of power.

Casimir's so-called capital is actually nothing in the face of power.

Especially since he still holds the power of absolute armed force firmly in his hands.

Casimir's so-called capital was vulnerable to the power that possessed absolute military force.

133 Xia Guang was forced to participate in the knight competition early

Money and power are inseparable.

Once we split up, my neighbor would hoard food and I would hoard guns, and my neighbor would be my granary.

Luo Ji could see that the Onion Knight had ideas about Casimir's power.

He even wanted to achieve a business alliance and become Casimir's real boss.

That is to say, it completely destroyed the "knight" and the concept of knight.

Truly take the power of the Casimir state into his own hands.

Luo Ji talked with Onion Knight for a while.

How to say?

It can only be said that Casimir, which seems to be at the peak of commercial prosperity and with merchant sovereignty, is actually still in its infancy.

The power that should be possessed is only possessed on the surface.

Lack of practical force to launch the final thundering blow.

This vacancy... In the land of Terra, the bloodline at birth largely determines the talent, achievement and combat effectiveness of Tongliao.

It is difficult for business alliances to overcome that hurdle.

In history, it took a lot of effort for Aquamarine to get over that hurdle.

The final step of the business alliance has always been stuck.

After visiting the Grand Knight's Ecological Maintenance Center, Onion Knight took Luo Ji to the chip production base of Casimir Knight Armor.

Re-installation chip, guard chip... When mentioning these, Onion Knight always feels a little proud.

At first it was just technology from Colombia, but now Casimir has the independent ability to develop things in this area.

It is also due to the geographical reason that Casimir is a neutral country in the gap. Due to its special geographical advantages, Casimir has no way to expand outward, nor does it have the ability to dump goods abroad. It is also suppressed by a series of old forces such as the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The guys in the commercial alliance can only keep innovating and playing involution in the arena, which in turn has accelerated Casimir's pace in developing independent technology.

nowhere to go.

There is no way to open up the market to the outside world, and they can only entertain themselves in Casimir by dumping and monopolizing the relatively backward areas.

Businessmen have never been friends with each other.

Generation after generation of new armor was sold to their own people, and the new ones replaced the old ones, which allowed them to slowly figure out the technology.

After looking at the basic chips, Onion Knight took Luo Ji to see the lightless factory of bipolar nanochips.

Only the indicator light is flickering faintly. There is no need for human labor inside the factory. High-end talents are responsible for maintaining various production indicators of the factory from the outside.

The most advanced technological creations on this land were produced just like that.

They are like the soul and heart of the Casimir Knight's armor.

With their existence, the Casimir people, who have certain defects in the adaptability of Originium skills, can also release powerful Originium skills like powerful warlocks.

Onion Knight even felt a little emotional.

These bipolar nanochips will require the entire nation of Casimir to be mobilized.

The factory in front of us has reached the final packaging stage.

Before this, every step, starting from the most basic raw materials, required the cooperation of different knights of Casimir, involving the cooperation of hundreds or even thousands of companies, before this final step could be achieved.

If any link is missing, they will not be able to organize effective production.

If there is a problem in any link, the business alliance will not be able to produce a new generation of knight armor.

High-end and sophisticated industries are far more fragile than we believe.

Even the saccharin in the raw material of Fat Boy Happy Water may be in short supply due to some events.

Without the bipolar nanochip that serves as the core support, as well as a series of chips such as the heavy armor and guard chips, the knight armor that Casimir is proud of would appear mediocre.

Institutions similar to the Securities and Exchange Commission also closely monitor the production of these "dangerous" creations, starting from the purchase of raw materials.

There is really no way for commercial conglomerates to mass-produce these dangerous weapons.

Each quarter has strict targets.

Overproduction, or an extra part in a certain link, or even extra raw materials of unknown origin will immediately result in an invitation from the CSRC.
