Chapter 57: Riot

The veteran soldier was stunned, according to three forts for every mile, then building a hundred miles is a million gold coins.

That's a lot of money!

Wang Shouwei sneered: "One million, you are less, at least two million is about the same." For the smallest bunker, a bottle of potion is sufficient, and the large one is not something that can be solved by a bottle ......of potion."

"Hiss," the veteran oil gasped, so calculated, to build a few hundred miles of railway, not counting other funds, just these alchemy elixirs, it will cost tens of millions.

"I don't think it's interesting to beat down these broken forests here, what to do with so much money......"

has always been a veteran of the main battle faction, and he has to admit it at this time.

"What are you doing when you beat it, haven't you read it in the newspaper? You haven't planted crops yourself, you can't tell if the land here is good?" Wang Shou smiled.

"Well, although there are many forests, the land here is really fertile, especially in hot weather, it can be two or three ripe this year, but it is good land......

After all, the veteran Youzi had planted the land, and quickly reacted: "These lands will not be given to us to plant, right?"

"Of course," Wang Shou smiled, "and the population will increase more and more after this." Just say you, you have five children, everyone has at least five or six acres of land to plant, right?

If you don't fight a little more territory, where will there be so much good land for your family in the future?"

"Hehe, this ...... My house is in the north, it's cold, I'm afraid I'm not used to moving here!" The veteran rubbed his hands embarrassedly.

"Say you're fat and you're still panting, hurry up, go see those captives, don't let them be lazy!"

"Yes," this time the veteran oiler agreed particularly loudly.

The corners of Wang Shouwei's mouth suddenly turned up slightly, but he didn't tell this veteran soldier that Daqi had discovered many mineral deposits along the way.

In particular, there is a heavy oil mine not far away, which is one of the most important fuels.

The more powerful the steam boiler, the better the fuel required.

For boilers that have reached a critical point, the best fuel is, of course, to burn heavy oil.

Of course, coal and other things cannot be burned, but they need to be processed complicatedly, changed in physical properties, and refined into heavy oil before they can be burned.

Therefore, natural heavy oil is an extremely important strategic resource for all countries in the world today.

However, the reserves of this kind of thing are so small that alchemists can only refine heavy oil and support critical boilers by converting coal and light oil.

Needless to say, the cost must be fatally high.

The large-scale heavy oil mine discovered in the world of the five gods has solved this problem, and it is one of the reasons why this world has become so important.

Of course, the main reason why Wang Shouwei can know this is that he is not only a mage apprentice now, but also interested in alchemy......

Night was falling, and it was late at night.

One by one, the natives, who had looked honest during the day, stood up and gathered together in a sneaky manner.

They knelt on the ground and prayed to a palm-sized, humble statue carved out of wood.

This kind of behavior has been going on for some time, and of course it is impossible for the officers and soldiers on guard not to notice it at all.

But then I saw that these people just gathered and knelt on the ground every day to pray, without any other action, but they gradually relaxed.

After all, you still have to rely on these captives to work, and if you manage them too harshly, sometimes it will only have a negative effect, after all, these captives usually behave quite honestly.

Tonight, however, was different, it was a full moon night, and the moonlight shone on the humble statue as the captives prayed quietly.

It can be seen that this statue was carved by hand, and it is not made of good wood.

It's as if someone picked up a branch on the ground and carved it.

And now, the moonlight shines on this statue, and a strange change occurs.

The shadows around the idol flickered and twisted, coming to life like a shadow.

There was a commotion among the captives who were kneeling and praying, and the sound of prayer became louder.

"What are you doing, what are you doing, you still can't sleep, if you dare to make a noise, Lao Tzu will burn your tattered idols!"

But it was the sound that alarmed the veteran of the vigil, Youzi, and he shouted angrily.

As a result, the surrounding captives suddenly lowered their voices, and the atmosphere suddenly stagnated.

Even the shadow floating on the idol made a move as if it were a thief with a weak heart, and then writhed secretly.

"Grandma's bear, it's too tight to leave these captives alone. But I always feel that these guys gather together every night, and I don't know what kind of fame they are doing, and they look at the panic!"

"Pull it down, it's just some captives. Look at their bear-like ...... As I said, as long as they work hard during the day, leave them alone......"

"No, I always feel that this will cause chaos, my eyelids are jumping so much!"

When the veteran oil son said this, he directly picked up his gun, walked over, and scolded: "Go back to sleep for me, and then they get together, what kind of dancing gods, don't blame Lao Tzu for being polite......"

As soon as he finished speaking, all of a sudden, he saw a sharp roar, and a shadow rose up like a pillar of smoke, even obscuring the moon, writhing like a cloud.

The extremely sharp shouting sound reached the ears of everyone around, piercing the eardrums and even blasting into the mind.

For a while, the veteran Youzi only felt that the world was spinning, and his mind was buzzing.

Knowing that something was wrong, he subconsciously pulled the trigger.

Bullets whizzed out, piercing unarmed captives and killing them in strings.

Because at such a distance, a single bullet from a steam gun is enough to penetrate the bodies of two or three people.

What's even worse is that this peanut-sized round projectile shoots at a person, even if it passes through, it can leave a bloody hole in the person's body.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight captives were shot to the ground.

At this time, the clamor spread farther and farther, almost enveloping the surrounding military camps.

All the soldiers, even in their sleep, were awakened by these high-frequency sound waves, convulsions and wails in pain.

And the captives were apparently not exempted, and they also covered their ears and fell to the ground wailing.

The shadows in the air became more and more colorful, like a huge ghost, continuing this terrifying howl.

However, at this time, there was a click......

The thunder had sounded, and the clear sky had thundered, and it had already struck over the shadows.

"I thought it was some kind of god, it looks like the god of Hades!"
