Chapter 1115 Wink

Putting down the report in his hand, Luo Ji couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows forcefully.

His eyes swept across the left and right sides beside him. The people in charge of duty today happened to be Wang Kai and Cyrelia.

"Cyrelia."

After hearing her name being called, Cyrelia, who was standing on one side, dressed in a black military uniform, immediately asked respectfully...

"What is your majesty's order?"

"Look at this."

While speaking, Luo Ji handed over the document directly.

Cerilia's loyalty to him had reached over 90 points, which was obviously trustworthy, so Luo Ji didn't have too many concerns about this kind of thing.

Cyrelia, who received the report, looked at it seriously.

About halfway through, a slight wrinkle clearly appeared between her brows.

"Cerilia, as an elf, what do you think of this matter? I want to hear your thoughts."

Because of her loyalty to Luo Ji, Cyrelia couldn't lie at a time like this, and after pondering for two seconds, she finally said all what was on her mind...

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to the question mentioned by the elf naturalist Mr. Wei Lun in this report, if the steam train is running, the thick smoke that spews out will indeed significantly affect the air quality of the elf forest and the entire natural environment. The environment, then, the elves probably won't accept it."

"Is that so?"

Luo Ji, who got this answer, obviously felt a headache.

He was really negligent about this matter, and he didn't expect the elves to react so violently.

It has been said before that the way of life of the elves pays attention to coexistence with nature. They allow appropriate cutting of trees to obtain wood, and at the same time accept the behavior of hunting.

However, the impact level of a large vehicle such as a steam train on the natural environment is obviously beyond their acceptable range, which has led to this wave of rebound.

It was completely conceivable that if Luo Ji wanted to forcibly carry out the railway project, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction among the elven people, and it might even lead to a decrease in the livability of an entire elven province.

But this project is extremely important, and it is obviously impossible to shelve it like this.

At the same time, it is not just this project, the industrial age that will enter later will bring similar effects.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the entire industrial age, the large amount of exhaust gas and industrial pollution caused by it are huge. If you want to avoid this, unless you enter the electrical age.

But this is easy to say, how can it be so easy to do?

In any case, time is precious, and the current project must continue, so, Luo Ji ordered again...

"Ignore the Elf Province for now, and give priority to laying railways on the other sides."

With the issuance of this order, the construction of the Elf Province officially stopped, and the protesting Elf people had nothing to do, and life was temporarily stable.

But this issue really made Luo Ji worried.

Of course, from a good point of view, on the elves' side, even if there are no steam trains, they still have giant eagle knights and even fairy dragons. The support efficiency of these flying units is faster than that of steam trains. There is really no need to worry.

But it can't go on like this forever, you always have to come up with a way to do it.

This thing really gives me a headache...

Compared to this period of time, Luo Ji, who had a headache because of the affairs in the Elf Province, and Gawain's life were quite comfortable.

No, he sent Luo Ji a new gadget that he tossed about, a pendulum clock.

The clock is a sophisticated thing, and it was impossible to make it when the technical skills were insufficient in the past.

However, in the past few years, the development of his Wanjie civilization has advanced by leaps and bounds, and coupled with the technical power of goblin technology, it is not difficult.

Compared with the cameras that did not sell well before, the sales of pendulum clocks are not bad. After all, this is a practical object, and the price ranges from high to low, which can be regarded as a favorite of many people.

At the same time, on the other side, the Ordnance Research Department, due to the breakthrough in technology, this year, they also came up with new results quite neatly.

Holding the new rifle in his hand, Luo Ji's depressed mood during this period of time suddenly eased a lot.

The biggest breakthrough of this new rifle lies in two points.

The first point is that the loading method of bullets has been improved to 'rear loading'. This change can be said to greatly improve the loading efficiency and disguisedly increase the attack frequency of the riflemen.

The second point is the increase in the range. After thousands of shooting tests, the range of this new rifle has basically stabilized between 280 meters and 300 meters.

Leaving aside the cost issue that has always bothered Luo Ji, as long as the Myriad World Civilization army is equipped with such rear-mounted rifles on a large scale, then the Terran archer troops can basically be eliminated.

Of course, the elven archers still have a clear advantage.

After all, they have a powerful weapon called 'Magic Arrow'.

With an ultra-long range and penetrating power, it is like a wind-chasing arrow like a sniper rifle.

It has a range-type lethality, and when an arrow is fired, the moment it hits the target, it can directly show the explosive destructive power of the explosive arrow.

And lightning bolts with special effects. According to Luo Ji's expectations, lightning bolts may have the effect of Tianke on large-scale weapons in the technology department...

As the level of arms items increases, as well as the gradual unlocking of branch items, the combat effectiveness of the elf archer arm continues to improve.

Coupled with magic arrows with different effects and attributes, they can deal with different situations.

It can only be said that it is a civilization with a magical color. Even if the technology is backward, the blessing brought by the magic power alone is enough for them to rival those technological civilizations.

Now, back to the topic, in the shooting range of the Ordnance Research Department, the sound of new rifles was constantly echoing. During this period, Luo Ji naturally became addicted.

This time, Toru, who was accompanying him as an escort, lightly bumped into Cyrelia who was standing by the side, and then winked at Cyrelia for a while.

In this regard, Cyrelia naturally knew what this reckless man meant, and then she just listened to her unsavoury words...

"If anyone dares to fight me with that thing, I can get him a range screen before he can put the bullet in the barrel."

This sentence came out of Cyrelia's mouth with an inexplicable convincing force.

And Luo Ji, who also heard this, also smiled and didn't say much. After all, he was also good at archery, so he knew that what Cerilia said was the truth.

Even if it is improved into a rear-loading rifle, the attack efficiency is still slightly inferior.

However, the advantages of firearms have always been easy to use, while bows and arrows require skills. Bows and arrows are undoubtedly powerful in the hands of Brygold, Cerilia and others, but ordinary human soldiers strength, often not reaching that level.

Therefore, as the equipment of the army, 'easy to use' is a very important point, and firearms obviously surpass bows and arrows in terms of 'easy to use'.

The update is sent. At the same time, I would like to thank the book friends 'Mo Langxie', 'Whose soul is around the dream' for their rewards, and the book friends 'Yang Zhen', 'Ode to the Wind', 'Zero', 'The Injury That Has Not Healed', Monthly passes for 'Back at Dusk', 'Wanyou', and 'Waiting for the End'!
