Chapter 409: Mechanical City
In order to bring these veterans into his command, Murong Feng actually prepared several alternatives in secret, coercion and temptation are secondary, the real killer is to mobilize the power of the Zhao family, fortunately, these veterans took the initiative to join her under the leadership of the two bigwigs, so that Murong Feng did not use the power of the family, otherwise the forces of the Zhao family involved would definitely restrict Murong Feng's absolute control without any suspense, which is what Murong Feng is most unwilling to see, Even if she had become the youngest honorary elder in the history of the Zhao family, she would have to make a compromise in the face of the family's interests.
Fortunately, the situation is developing in the direction of everyone's happiness, and Murong Feng did not overturn a boatload of people with a single rod, leaving everyone with a little face.
"All grandfathers and uncles are Feng'er's elders, and I hope that grandparents and uncles will have a lot of Haihan if they have offended a lot before." Murong Feng smiled and said politely: "Now that the club has just been established, it is the time when there is an urgent shortage of talents. With the prestige of your grandfathers and uncles in the army, maybe you can directly fill the establishment of tens of thousands of people in a division and regiment with a single order, and there will definitely be no problem. But Feng'er had to re-examine the purpose of establishing this club to benefit veterans who have fallen down for various reasons after leaving the army, not to build a nursing home and a nursery for troubled children. ”
Murong Feng's words made all the veterans present feel a burst of heat on their faces. Now that I think about it, they are indeed a bit too much, after all, an infantry division of tens of thousands of people, they directly stuffed in more than 3,000 pampered young master soldiers, and these veterans are not unaware of the serious consequences of this. It's just that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so no one can blame anyone. Even after Murong Xiong found out, he only scolded a few words angrily and then disappeared. After all, everyone knows that the forces represented by these young masters and soldiers are too complex. Eliminating any one will cause a bunch of trouble. And Murong Xiong was already idle at home. has no military power in his hands, although he is unhappy in his heart, he can only pinch his nose and admit it. But he didn't expect that at this juncture, Murong Feng suddenly killed.
Murong Feng's ruthless methods made the veterans' hearts tremble, for fear of causing death, but fortunately, Murong Feng's series of actions were planned and then moved, and she was not carried away by anger, her methods seemed to be rough and ruthless, but her strength was just right, and she hurt those young master soldiers but did not cause a single life. In this way, it is equivalent to directly solving the biggest problem. And more importantly, after Murong Feng's trouble, it is estimated that those young masters and soldiers who were so scared that they had to take a detour when they saw Peach Blossom Island, who would dare to come here to find a beating!
What's more, because of Murong Feng's identity, no one behind those young master soldiers would dare to jump out to find trouble with her. After all, in addition to the Murong family, there is also a Zhao family behind Murong Feng who not only controls the lifeblood of the Federation's energy, but also dominates the military and political worlds, not to mention that this girl's mother is also a female demon king who makes countless people fearful!
And last year's bloody purge didn't last long......
"It's really something we old guys are doing, it's too inauthentic. Grandpa Tiger is here to promise that nothing like this will happen again in the future. Li Menghu looked at Murong Feng with a smile, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, no matter whose family such a granddaughter-in-law fell into, it was simply a guarantee that the family would prosper for hundreds of years! It's a pity that his grandson is too angry, and he didn't leave a good impression in this girl's heart at the beginning. As a grandfather, he can only do his best to find a position near the water for that kid. As for whether you can get the moon or not, it all depends on the kid's ability.
With Li Menghu taking the lead, a group of veterans naturally packed tickets to ensure that there would be no more chaos and stuffing people in.
Get a satisfactory guarantee. Murong Feng immediately let out a bright smile, and then discussed the club's future development plan in the game.
All of you here are old guys who are old and sophisticated, and they have their own unique opinions on many issues, and it is certainly not possible to unify everyone's opinions in a day or two. Fortunately, Murong Feng did not make any arbitrary decisions in this regard, because she knew that personal wisdom alone was definitely not enough for future planning, and she had to work together. So she directly entrusted the matter to her grandfather to deal with. After accompanying a group of old men to discuss until noon, and then having lunch on the base of Peach Blossom Island, he was ready to leave and return to Gusu.
Before leaving, Murong Feng did not agree to the request of the veterans to leave all the hundred veterans she brought, but only left eight innocent veterans to stay here as the first batch of officer seeds. The rest were brought back to Alcatraz. After all, among these hundred guys, there are many shady guys, and staying here will definitely cause a lot of trouble!
It was already past noon when he returned to Murong Mansion from Alcatraz Island, and after a delay of nearly a day, Murong Feng finally returned to the game again.
The underground world was still as dim as ever, and the crude oil flowing everywhere converged into a black rolling river and rushed into the distance, in Murong Feng's eyes, this was a big river flowing with countless gold coins, but it was a pity that Fengqilou's current strength was not enough to extend its tentacles here. But the early planning and preparation had already been planned in Murong Feng's heart.
The river of crude oil rushed to the east, and Murong Feng summoned the horned scale horse to walk along the river for several kilometers, and the river began to turn south, but many strange buildings appeared on the wide river bank.
Far away, Murong Feng thought that those buildings were water mills made of stones, but when he thought about it, he felt unreliable, after all, crude oil has a strong volatility, and if a water mill is built in this kind of place, it is estimated that the entire mill will be stained with a layer of oil in a few days, how can he grind things?
Driven by curiosity, Murong Feng immediately rode his horse and galloped over, and found that there was actually a stone bridge over the river, and after the stone bridge, there was a water mill nearby, Murong Feng turned over and dismounted and walked over to take a closer look, and was surprised to find that this building was not a water mill at all, but a pump house with a very primitive structure.
The surging crude oil drives a large water wheel with a diameter of more than six meters to rotate slowly, and the water wheel bearing rotates to drive a group of transmission gears in the room, and then these gears rotate and drive a screw pump to pump a steady stream of crude oil onto a large iron cylinder. The impurities are then filtered out in an iron cylinder, and the crude oil is led out of the pump room through a water tank.
Murong Feng hurriedly walked around to the other side of the pump room. I was instantly stunned by what I saw.
Standing on the bank of the river, there are at least hundreds of pump houses of the same structure at a glance. Each of these pumping stations has a trough that extends and converges into an apparently artificially excavated channel, which then continues eastward until it disappears at the end of the earth.
After Murong Feng's initial shock, a question immediately rose in his heart: "It's strange, how close is this artificial river channel to the crude oil river, why don't you dig it directly?" What do you have to do to build multiple pumping stations? ”
Murong Feng thought about it for a long time and didn't understand the problem, so he simply put it aside first, rode his horse and continued to run east along the artificial river. Looking at the direction of this artificial river, it is obvious that it is the product of the goblins of the Machine City. It seems that those goblins have mastered the technology of refining and applying crude oil. Otherwise, it wouldn't be so much trouble. Murong Feng's curiosity about the Machinery City in his heart increased a little more.
As the distance from the Machinery City became less and less, a steel city gradually appeared in Murong Feng's eyes. It's hard to imagine such a majestic industrial city beneath a primitive planet. Countless mechanical creations shuttled back and forth in the city, giving Murong Feng the feeling of being in a city with a highly developed scientific and technological civilization.
This steel city also has no walls, but it has many tall steel fortresses with so many thick barrels that it is impossible to count. Murong Feng even saw several tracked armored tank vehicles with very strange shapes rumbling out at the gate of a fortress.
Just as Murong Feng looked surprised, suddenly a shadow flew over her head. Murong Feng subconsciously raised his head and was immediately stunned.
I saw that in the sky, a behemoth airship with a body length of more than three hundred meters was slowly flying by, Murong Feng had seen this thing in the museum, and most of them had seen it before. But Murong Feng had never seen an airship that could be the locomotive of a floating train!
That's right! The airship flying above Murong Feng's head was the locomotive of a floating train. Behind it was a long carriage chained to several thick chains. A rough count is at least a few hundred! And the reason why these carriages floated also made Murong Feng speechless.
Because on the roof of each carriage there is a huge floating spore ball! It gave Murong Feng the illusion that the train was flying slowly in the sky with a balloon. Well, it's not a delusion at all. People just use balloons to hang in the air, but these balloons are a bit big, and they also glow, and the spectacular sight almost didn't dislocate Murong Feng's jaw.
"Fortunately, there is no strong wind in this underground world, otherwise such a strange air train would never have been able to fly into the sky. Otherwise, a gust of wind will blow through it and it will be a disaster! Murong Feng was truly impressed by the intelligence and madness of these goblins.
The closer you get to the mechanical city, the more you can feel the grandeur of this steel city, the hundred-meter-high buildings are almost shoulder to shoulder, and the dense air corridors between the Great Xia will connect the whole city as a whole.
Murong Feng appeared alone on the asphalt road, and immediately attracted the attention of several goblin guards in the roadside sentry not far away.
Murong Feng rode her horse to the sentry post, and these goblin guards with guns immediately stopped her, raised their heads and asked, "Who are you?" What to do in Machine City? ”
Murong Feng replied, "I am a merchant from afar, and I want to come to your city lord to negotiate a big deal!" ”
"Merchant?" The captain of the goblin guard stared at Murong Feng with suspicion and questioned, "Why are you the only one?" What about your caravan? ”
"I don't have a caravan." Murong Feng replied truthfully.
"No caravans? Who are you fooling? You don't even have a caravan, so why did you come to our lord to talk about a big deal? The captain of the goblin guard scolded, "Roll on, strangers are not welcome in the Machine City. ”
Murong Feng frowned, he didn't expect these goblins to be so xenophobic, and they wouldn't even let the city in. When Murong Feng took a closer look, he immediately understood the reason, it turned out that he had just arrived, and he had almost no intersection with the various forces in the underground world, so he was still in a cold relationship with the prestige of these goblins, and it was polite enough that the other party did not directly bombard him with a gun.
How can it be so frustrated? Murong Feng immediately denied this idea in her heart, after all, the only way she knew to return to the ground was here, if she could go back, I was afraid that she would have to turn back into a trumpet and use the teleportation skill to teleport back to Nuo Dasen. But in this way, wouldn't the 900,000 gold coins spent on the batch of weapons and equipment he purchased be directly wasted?
"Hey! Why aren't you leaving? Believe it or not, we opened fire? The captain of the goblin guard raised his gun and snorted.
Murong Feng glanced at the other party coldly, and suddenly thought about it, and said tentatively: "Your Excellency, please listen to me." Saying that, Murong Feng turned over and dismounted, walked up to the vigilant goblin guard captain, and quietly stuffed a few gold coins.
The goblin guard captain's eyes immediately flashed with golden light, and he stuffed these gold coins into his arms in a moment, and the guarded expression on his face became directly kind, and asked with a smile: "Guest from afar, do you need any help?" ”
Sister's! These goblins are indeed just like the legend, all of them are the masters who see money! Murong Feng was full of slander in his heart, but on the surface, he still said politely: "I want to ask Your Excellency to pass on a message to your City Lord for me, just say that I am a friend of Master Jalivik!" ”
Bang Dang! The gun in the hand of the goblin guard captain fell directly to the ground, and he screamed in shock: "What you said is true? Are you really a friend of Master Jariwick? Do you know the whereabouts of Master Jarivic? Oh! O almighty god of gold, have you appeared again? ”
The goblin guards standing next to him were also shocked and excited, and they let out high-pitched screams. Murong Feng was stunned, originally she just wanted to test whether these goblins recognized the number one person of Jalivik, but she didn't expect the other party's reaction to be so big.
The captain of the goblin guard shouted with excitement on his face, "Quickly contact the headquarters of the merchant group to inform the city lord, and we will say that we have discovered the whereabouts of Master Jalivik!" ”
A group of goblin guards immediately scrambled to the sentry post and pounded around a large iron bump.
And the captain of the goblin guard treated Murong Feng as if she were a guest, and invited her into the low sentry hut with a flattering face.
After a while, there was a violent tremor on the ground. Murong Feng's leaky pane saw a large group of people rushing over with a bang. Directly surround the sentry posts. Then I saw a well-dressed goblin rush in and yell, "Who found out my father's whereabouts? (To be continued......)
