What kind of power is the power that belongs to the Adventists? Or rather, what kind of forces do the Adventists need to back them up?

Xiao Hanyun once asked a similar question, she asked Fang Qiuling like this:

"Thulick, if you're going to assemble an armed force, an army that can ensure the mission of the Adventists. What do you think is a must and what can be waived? ”

At the beginning of the problem, Xiao Hanyun made the first limitation of the power of the Adventists: the army.

- The power that the Adventist has built should be first and foremost an army.

Elune, unlike the present world, which is generally peaceful, is a world of constant war. All along, the nations of the three continents of Elune have been in a state of chronic warfare. Small conflicts occur almost every day, with an average of three or four major conflicts a year. Coupled with the rampant existence of dark creatures such as goblins, bear monsters, and ogres, and the large number of orcs, bandits, and robbers who make a living from raiding, forces that do not have enough combat power will not be able to gain a foothold in Elune at all. In a matter of moments, it can be torn to shreds by the swarming creatures of darkness, or sacked by bandits.

Fang Qiuling agrees with Xiao Hanyun's point of view - the army.

The purpose of the Adventists coming to Elune is not to invite guests to dinner, nor to research and procure, or to travel. Although not intended, iron and blood will inevitably come with the appearance of the Advent. Whether it's to face dark creatures, bandits, or the minions of Twilight, a strong army is essential.

But it is also irrational to invest too much in military power. Elune is a high-magic world, and the strongest combat power in the high-magic world always belongs to the gods. Whether it is the deity or the saints and apostles under his command, they all have incomparably powerful power. There is a huge gap between the upper and lower limits of strength, which leads to the poor effectiveness of the human sea tactics in Elune.

Blindly expanding the size of the army and having a lot of low-end combat power doesn't make a lot of sense in Elune. Therefore, the size of the army should not be too much, and the key is to be small but precise.

After having such a consensus, Xiao Hanyun continued to ask:

"An army that is small in number, but strong in combat. What is needed to form such an armed force? ”

The first thing in the army is discipline, followed by combat effectiveness. However, there is a certain contradiction between discipline and combat effectiveness. As the saying goes: a proud soldier. The stronger the combat effectiveness, the more untamed the individual's personality becomes. The stronger the individual, the more the individual asks for and the higher the cost of recruitment. At the same time, the strength is strong, and there are many ideas, and whether you can be of one mind with the Descender is also a question. And it's not something that can be recruited if you want to......

Fang Qiuling was silent for a long time, and finally gave the answer he knew: Wu Bei.

Armament, that is, the meaning of weapons and equipment. Protect the body with sturdy armor and slash with sharp weapons - the biggest difference between humans and beasts is that they are good at using tools, and weapons and equipment can make up for the lack of individual strength. Compared with the elusive human heart, armament is undoubtedly slightly simpler.

Once it is confirmed that armament is the mainstay, the question that arises is how to strengthen armament.

At this point, Fang Qiuling gave the answer without the slightest hesitation: science and technology are the primary productive forces!

The technical gap between bronze and iron puts the former at a huge disadvantage in the confrontation. The use of cold weapons against hot weapons resulted in a one-sided slaughter of cold weapons against cold weapons.

The greater the gap in science and technology, the greater the advantage brought by armament. At the same time, the progress of science and technology will also lead to the development of the civilian field.

What is the mission of the Adventists? Although the mission of the Adventist is to maintain the world order, the main mission is not to shout and kill, but to promote and guide the progress of civilization, so that the will of the world can gain more power. How to effectively and quickly promote and guide the progress of civilization? The history of the present world tells Fang Qiuling that the productivity built on the basis of scientific and technological progress exploded the fastest!

The field of science follows the law of "reason", and the law of "reason" will break through due to the continuous refresh of cognition, so the existing technology will always face the challenge of new technology. For example, bronze was replaced by iron, steam engines were replaced by internal combustion engines, and electron tubes were replaced by transistors......

Every major technological advance brings about a major change in society. Whether it is the two industrial revolutions in the present world or the entry into the information society, its essence is the explosion of productive forces brought about by scientific and technological progress, which in turn affects all aspects of social life.

The will of the world Elune's strength is built on the size and quality of civilization. Land is always limited, so how to improve the level of social civilization on the premise of making full use of land resources is what Fang Qiuling needs to explore and consider.

Elune's civilization progress is still stuck in the Middle Ages, and there is great room for progress in both the production of means of living and the construction of spiritual civilization. However, Elune is a high-magic world, and the laws of "reason" are roughly the same as those of the present world, but due to the extreme activity of "spirits", the basic laws have been distorted in some fields. For example, the biggest difference with the current world is that the stability of electricity has become extremely poor, which in turn leads to the extremely high cost of storing and using electricity as a conventional energy source, which is so high that it cannot be promoted, and can only be used in a very small range, so that the development process of the current world cannot be repeated.

- Qualified batteries can be made from Adamantite and Mithril as materials, but Adamantite and Mithril are not only extremely low in production, but also several to dozens of times higher than those of gold of the same weight.

Therefore, considering the actual situation of Elune being a high-magic world, combined with his own cognition, Fang Qiuling's idea is the product of the combination of magic and technology - magic technology.

His answer made Xiao Hanyun very pleased, because her answer was also scientific research power, and her solution direction was also magic technology.

Magic technology is the integration of magic into science, using magic to drive physical machinery or replacing certain structures in machinery with magic, combining the advantages of "spirit" with the rigor of "reason". For example, the biggest problem of the steam engine is the low utilization rate of heat energy and the problem of gas sealing. When magic technology is added, a pinch of fire salt can greatly increase the utilization of heat energy, and a simple two-way sealing spell can increase the seal to an incredible degree. After solving the problem of heat utilization and sealing, how much can the power of the steam engine be increased? Not only Fang Qiuling was curious about this, but Xiao Hanyun was also curious.

In fact, Elune is not far behind in the field of science, and many things are hidden under the glow of magic. In the wizard's tower, there are many unbelievable and bizarre things, but most wizards are unaware of the value of these things, and they are discarded like rubble. At the same time, these creations and inventions are also unpopular because of the existence of magic, that is, they cannot be used by ordinary people who do not know magic. The original research direction of the discipline of magic technology was to allow individuals who could not cast spells to obtain the same or similar spell-casting abilities as the caster.

Therefore, researchers are indispensable. Not only must they be familiar with science and technology, but they must also be good at casting spells. Only by mastering both "spirit" and "reason" can we maximize the advantages of magic technology. By the way, if possible, it is best for these researchers to have enough self-protection ability, and if necessary, they can pick up the guys! Compared to the present world, Elune's overall security situation is quite worrying.

- Such researchers should be difficult to find!

Talents who understand both magic and technology, the mages of the "inner world" in the current world should be the most suitable, but the cost of recruiting mages is extremely high, and the "loyalty" aspect is also a big problem. There should be some wizards and scholars in Elune, but they also face the problem of high recruitment costs and insufficient "loyalty". As for self-cultivation, time does not allow it...... And research requires not only manpower, but also space, money, and materials, which are also big problems that cannot be bypassed.

Zhang Dongchen, who is also an Adventist, has his own research room in the Dawn Collation, and he also has his own dedicated research room on the Kunpeng, plus his abilities are closely related to research, so his research speed is amazing and his research results are numerous.

If possible, Fang Qiuling would like to outsource this part of the research to Zhang Dongchen. But it's a pity, although it can't be said that Zhang Dongchen doesn't know anything in the field of magic, it's also an objective fact that he knows very little. Moreover, Zhang Dongchen's top priority is still based on Terdaheim's aether technology research, he needs to develop a new type of assault machine, and he also needs to design the latest floating ships. As a result, the time allocated to Magic Technology is undoubtedly very small, and it is difficult to expect him to continue to produce the research results of Magic Technology.

The person who proposes the plan needs to walk it. Fang Qiuling already has unique insights in the field of magic, and also has a very deep understanding of science and technology, and can undoubtedly be regarded as a qualified researcher of magic technology, but ...... Fang Qiuling himself is also busy!

His own strength needs to be improved, otherwise it will be embarrassing to be killed by the evil boss who occasionally passes by. The day-to-day management of the forces requires active participation, otherwise it won't be long before they are hollowed out and become the nominal mascot, in essence the best person to carry the black pot. In addition, he has to fall in love, get married and have children, and need to solve personal affairs......

Regarding Fang Qiuling's concerns, Xiao Hanyun smiled silently, looking confident. This kind of performance made Fang Qiuling very curious, and Xiao Hanyun always refused to say it, so he had to extinguish his curiosity first and put it aside for the time being. Of course, curiosity can be extinguished first, but what should be prepared should be prepared in advance.

Whether it's a small but elite troop or a versatile researcher, there's a must for a place to stay when you arrive in Elune, so find a safe place to stay as soon as possible.

The Seventh Research Institute, located deep in the Frost Mist Forest, is not far or close to the traditional kingdoms of the Araka Continent, and has a pretty good geographical location; The abundant groundwater resources in the depths of the Institute, coupled with the Institute's advanced internal circulation system and drip irrigation farms, can fully cope with the daily food consumption and water needs. The institute itself has many research facilities, and the direction of research seems to be the combination of magic and technology, and there are research equipment and venues; In addition, there is also the soul Violet as the main control system, which can save a lot of effort in early warning and daily management......

- Where to find an underground base with so many advantages? It will definitely be renovated at all costs and then put into use! As for the manpower, material and financial resources needed to repair the base, we must also dig out our minds to get them!

As for Xiao Hanyun's smile and silence, Fang Qiuling must not have known at that time. But if he doesn't know it now, he's an out-and-out idiot!

- Aren't those thirty cute and cute bunnies the best candidates!
