Black Dragon Code

Chapter 239 Running Water

After entering the rainy season, the first heavy rain in the Northland lasted for three days at once, and then the rain gradually weakened and turned into a gloomy and lingering drizzle.

The black dragon was lying in the open area of ​​the front hall of the king's court, watching the sea of ​​flowers swaying in the wind nearby, and the hazy king's capital below, enjoying the tranquility.

Farther away, the mountains and forests are covered by mist, looming, like a lost world.

During this period of time, Caesar has been thinking about ways to make money. Blackwing Lair is currently relatively rich and self-sufficient, but the northern countries are extremely poor. At that time, if he wants to integrate and build the Black Wing Empire, this item will hold him back. Poverty and backwardness are twins. Without money, there is no way for the Black Wing Empire to develop.

Caesar thought that as a visitor from another world, it would be easy for him to come up with some ideas from his previous life to make money, but when he actually operated it, he realized that the actual situation was far from the case.

The rain was blown up by the wind, and one after another, it slapped on the glass, causing ripples.

Yes, he originally wanted to sell molten glass, but glass already exists in this world.

Elradia is a world centered on fantastic magic, where both backwardness and advancement co-exist. It cannot be generalized. Many things here are even better than Caesar imagined.

For example: there is no reinforced concrete in this world, but tall buildings can be raised on the ground with magic protection; there are no steam engines or internal combustion engines, but huge war puppets are driven by magic cores; Da...

It's a world where the tech tree is skewed due to magic, but it's just as brilliant.

Even in the distant empire on which the sun never sets, even great creations such as the Hanging City existed, which was beyond the comprehension of Caesar's original cognition. If we only talk about this brilliant achievement, in a sense, it The degree of brilliance is even ahead of the world that Caesar lived in in his previous life.

But on the other hand, the polarization of Elradia is extremely serious, even splitting a continent into two different worlds. Under the shadow of such a majestic and majestic apex of magic, most ordinary people still live a miserable life like in the Middle Ages. Regardless of whether the sun never sets in the North, they are still under the rule of slavery.

At the same time, even in an empire with such a brilliant superstructure, the level of productivity is also not high. In fact, this is the situation that the rulers deliberately contributed to.

The level of productivity and magic power are dangerous items that need to be strictly controlled. Once there is a large leap and surge, it will definitely cause political turmoil and greatly weaken the authority of the rulers. Never allowed.

So, it’s not that Caesar really can’t come up with good things that are better than the times and can make money, but most of the things that seem to be better than the times actually have their substitutes in Aladea. Although they are small, they still exist. .

If he doesn't want to do useless work, he must sink his heart, study the market with great concentration, and then make a precise attack, instead of coming up with a "new" gadget with a slap in the head, only to find that it is not popular, and waste energy in vain.

There is still no progress on this matter. Caesar thought for a while, and decided to change his mind, climb out of the Rhine Court, and head to other areas of the royal capital.

The former Rhine capital has now been completely reduced to a monster paradise and the settlement of the Black Wing clan. The humans who originally lived here either voluntarily or passively moved out of the capital, leaving only a few necessary personnel and still living Surrounded by the Black Wing Clan.

After all, there is a huge difference between humans and monsters. After the Black Wing Lair enters the Rhine Royal Court, if these residents are allowed to stay here, not only the humans cannot bear it, but Caesar himself will also feel uncomfortable.

After all, the black dragon lord made a lot of noise when he went out, and the feeling of being watched all the time was okay at first, but it got really annoying after a long time.

He came to a workshop that had just opened recently to make dirge cards.

There are nearly 500 people in this workshop, among them there are only a small number of human painters, and most of them are wild boars from the Blackwing clan. The scene is strange.

For the first batch of finished products,

Caesar was still quite concerned, and chose to hand it over to the rigorous and paranoid wild boar to make it.

It looks like a small card, but it is not easy to actually manufacture it. First, the prepared thick-headed paper must be processed and polished to make it a high-quality, delicate card, and then hollowed out in half by hand. To fill the labels of standard cards and expansion packs, and then to print anti-counterfeit engravings and images, and finally transfer to painters for coloring and sealing.

This is still the production process of the ordinary version of the elegy card. Due to the existence of the mass energy crystal and the requirements of the black dragon lord, the collection version is more complicated and elegant.

It wasn't until the time when the card was put into production that Caesar realized that his worries about piracy were superfluous. At least during the period when the Elegy card was just released, he didn't have to think about it at all.

The reason is simple: Pirate merchants simply cannot produce as much as the Rhine Royal Court.

After all, printing in this world is far from being formed. If only painters are used to complete the task of drawing each card...

As an important medium for information storage, text is far inferior to imaginary text in Aladea. It is only a communication tool for middle and upper class people, only for middle and upper classes.

So in Eladea, although books are important, they are extremely rare, which can be seen from the fact that Caesar wanted to learn knowledge but had no way to do so.

Most slaves and free people have very few opportunities to come into contact with books in their lifetime, and when only the middle and upper aristocratic classes use them, some scribes who make a living on this are enough to meet their needs.

But there is no urgent need, even if the material basis such as paper and ink is already available, even if it has been developed and developed for thousands of years, the crucial technology of "printing" still has not appeared.

Although Spellcaster Gate can also achieve the effect of "printing" by using spells, but in the final analysis, the problem returns to the original point, which can only meet the needs of the upper class, and cannot be popularized in Elradia.

On Caesar's side, as early as when the goblin workshop mass-produced armor, he had already researched the molding technology, so engraving and printing would not be a problem for Blackwing Nest. As long as he raised an idea, Hogg already knew how to do it. Work and present the finished product directly.

etc!

Caesar was stunned for a moment, looking at the busy work of human painters and wild boars, mass production, template technology...

That's right, since the assembly line workshop has been established, why doesn't he simply expand it to form a truly large factory?

Whether it is weapons and armor, or clothing made from the fur produced in the Northland, or tools and daily necessities, they can all be produced in an assembly line factory, and then traded and exported to other countries.

Before this, an armorer needs to be proficient in every step of material selection, drawing, casting, forging, etc. to create a pair of armor. The same is true for other similar professions such as tailors, carpenters, etc. People's way of thinking has long been rigid and they are used to this Almighty process, even many things are "tailor-made".

As long as the scale is large enough, it is self-evident what kind of impact the assembly line factory will bring to these industries.

When it first appeared, uncertain products such as labor tools and daily necessities may be rejected by other countries, but a huge amount of military supplies such as weapons and armor is something that any country can rush for.

What Caesar has to do is to prohibit the re-trafficking of people in the Northland, bring them closer to the Black Wing Factory to serve as labor, and invest in the import of metals and raw ore in the early stage.

At the same time, the weapons and armor manufactured in this way are precisely the lowest scale products. They are neither legendary weapons nor enchanted by spells, and can only meet the most basic low-level warfare needs. This is very good, because Kai Sarah will not be injured by the products he exports. Such weapons can't even pose a high threat to the Black Wing Clan.

Just do it!

He has already figured it out that it doesn't matter even if he can't create an epoch-making new product. The vision and ideas brought from other worlds are an incomparable wealth to him. With the ability to meet the initial investment, He can build a large-scale assembly line factory in the Northland and export it in the name of "Black Wing Manufacturing".

In the next few years, the northern terrain will become the factory of the world, surpassing the commercial city-states in the middle, and becoming the second largest economy after the empire on which the sun never sets.

Going up, when he is really rich, able to attract high-end talents, and complete the technical reserve, Caesar can start to study magic power to accomplish what he wants.

At least in his opinion, there are still many ways to go for the current magic technology. 8) For more exciting novels, welcome to visit our Reading Academy
