Chapter 848: 'New' Discovery

The turmoil in the Kurkut Empire had spread throughout the Ogordon Empire in just half a month, and almost all the nobles had already known the news.

If it had been in their leisure time, they would have discussed the topic and ridiculed the 'incompetence' of the nobles of the Kurkut Empire.

But now, they can't even take care of themselves!

It seems that since half a month ago, a surprising news has been circulating in the aristocratic circles of the empire, but it has also been ridiculed by many people.

The message said that the royal family and the great nobles seemed to have united and were ready to change the political system of the empire.

When this news was first released, it was ridiculed by many people, because in their opinion, there was an irreconcilable conflict of interest between the great nobles and the royal family, and there were countless contradictions between the two groups in the past hundred years.

What's more, how could those big nobles be willing to be subordinate, this kind of rumor that seemed to them to be ridiculous was ridiculed by almost everyone.

But as time passed, the great nobles gradually had some new actions, which made many middle and low-level nobles feel inexplicably afraid.

What made them even more alarmed was that the actions of the big nobles had become more and more frequent recently, and even some of the actions had already involved their fundamental interests, and at this time, the small and medium-sized nobles finally couldn't sit still - they wanted to go to the imperial capital to have a look!

Maybe in the imperial capital, they will be able to find the answer they want to know, whether the answer is satisfactory or not, but at least ...... That's an answer.

There was a sudden knock on the office door, but Gregory seemed to have expected it, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open, and a young man in ordinary clothes walked in, leaving a shallow wet mark on the doorway.

Upon entering, the young man bowed his head and saluted, "Minister." ”

"How's it going?" said Gregory, still not looking up.

The young man raised his head, frowned slightly, and took a breath, "According to our observations, in the past few days, almost half of the nobles of the empire have come to the imperial capital. ”

Hearing this, Gregory raised his eyebrows, finally looked up, and asked with a little surprise, "Is there already so many?"

"Yes, Minister. The young man nodded seriously, "And according to our estimates, there will be some nobles arriving in the imperial capital one after another, and in the end, maybe most of the nobles of the empire will gather in the imperial capital." ”

Gregory's brow furrowed, his metallic prosthetic leg gripping the pen, tapping the tip of the pen on the paper.

That's a bit of a hassle......

"You can leave. Grigory looked up and whispered to the member disguised as a passerby, and then fell into thought again as he opened the door and left the office.

No matter how many times they advertised, the nobles would not believe how convenient the steam locomotive was, but now that they had used it once, they already knew what the steam locomotive and the railway network meant to the empire.

This means that orders from the Imperial Capital, from the central government, are able to reach their territory in a very short time, and it also means that the same is true for the army!

It only took them a few days to travel from their territory to the imperial capital by steam locomotive, and this was because the railway had not yet been fully rolled out, and if the railway had been fully rolled out and the number of steam locomotives had increased, this speed would have been even faster.

Originally, steam locomotives played a great role in consolidating the rule of the imperial family, and even in the matter of 'unifying the government'.

But now that those small and medium-sized nobles have known the convenience and horror of steam locomotives, will they secretly send people to sabotage the railway?

Steam locomotives can only run on railways, which is a very obvious flaw, as long as the railways are damaged, not to mention the steam locomotives speeding on the railway, the people and goods on the board will definitely suffer heavy casualties.

Gregory was so worried about this that he sent people to keep an eye on how many nobles had arrived in the imperial capital on steam locomotives.

Every section of the railroad needs to be properly managed, but the lines are too long and the network is too large, even though the royal family has warned the towns and villages of the empire not to steal the tracks.

However, the guards patrolling the railroad can sometimes see scratches on the tracks, and the only good thing is that the railroad is magically connected, otherwise it would have been pried away by the people.

Only the transportation system and no corresponding 'communication system' is their biggest problem now, although the royal family has vaguely reached an agreement with the Radiant Church that they can borrow the Radiant Church's faith network for effective communication, but this means of communication is not in their own hands!

They urgently need a new means of communication, and they can still control it in their own hands, otherwise they will be constrained at every turn.

Tuk tuk!

At that moment, there was a knock on the door, interrupting Gregory's thoughts.

Grigory looked up in confusion, who was knocking on the door at this time?

"Come in. ”

The man outside the door entered, wearing the black uniform of the manufacturing department, and did not look like he was in a hurry.

After the staff in black uniforms walked into the office, they first bowed their heads and saluted, and then said respectfully: "Minister, Minister Calvin George of the R&D Department has brought a message saying that he wants you to go to the R&D Department now. ”

R&D Department ...... Calvin......

Grigory nodded, put down his pen, and stood up with his hands on the table, "Okay, I see." ”

Calvin called him over at such a time, maybe there was something new to discover?

And it should still be the kind that can't be told people, otherwise he should have explained everything in the message.

Manipulating his arms to put on a coat and hat for himself, and grabbing his cane and umbrella, Grigory hurried out of the headquarters of the manufacturing department.

His eager appearance even made people think that something big had happened, otherwise with his character, he would not have behaved in such a hurry.

There are always several carriages on standby at the headquarters of the manufacturing department and the R&D department, and if the members of the department want to use the carriages except for the cadres, they can only apply for the 'temporary use' qualification.

The importance of these two ministries has become apparent in recent years, and as a result, the financial management department has also increased their budgets.

Listening to the sound of the drizzle knocking on the windows, Grigory made his way to the R&D headquarters in the suburbs.

Stretching out his umbrella and stepping on the wet stone floor, Grigory walked towards the building that stood in the middle of a clearing.

Calvin didn't show up in front of him, but Gregory knew where the guy was now.

The R&D staff hurriedly returned the salute as they greeted and saluted on the road, and Grigory walked briskly to the lab that Calvin used most often.

The laboratory was equipped with the most advanced laboratory equipment in the Empire, and generally only Calvin was qualified to use it.

"You're here?"

When Gregory pushed the door open and entered, he found that the laboratory was almost full.

A look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then Calvin's voice came to his ears, and Gregory turned his head to look, and soon found the mage in a crisp white coat in the crowd.

Calvin pulled off his shirt a little uncomfortably, but now that Gregory had arrived, he could begin to explain.

"Let me start by saying that this phenomenon is not the first phenomenon I have discovered, and it has been documented in the texts nearly a thousand years ago. ”

Calvin pointed to the machine on the table, and Gregory looked at it, only to see a ...... 'box' with wires plugged in?

The first head of the R&D department said lazily: "I don't know why the mage who discovered this phenomenon at the time named it, but according to the way the head maid named it, this kind of thing should be called 'electromagnetic waves'." ”(https:)
