Chapter 242 Funds
In his mind, there were countless pictures of zongzi with long hair and corpses scurrying on the construction site. Zhao Yinshun shuddered and silently gave up this bold idea.
The supernatural world does have corpse control spells, but no one has ever used them on a large scale in everyday life, and there must be a reason for that.
The simplest point is that the people can't accept it!
Your whole tauren and the like come to cultivate the land, and everyone will see a novelty at most.
You have a whole pile of pus-filled, rotten and stinky zongzi scurrying around the city construction site, but no living creature can bear such a scene.
This is not only a psychological problem, but a physical conflict.
The corpse qi of undead creatures is born to collide with living creatures, and it is uncomfortable for both parties to be together.
Over time, the yin and yang qi erodes and pollutes each other, and one of the two must gradually decline.
In addition, undead creatures have no intelligence, no subjective initiative, and must be controlled by someone at any time.
Small scale is fine. How many professional superhumans will it take to control hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions of undead creatures in the future?
It's not enough to put together all the [Maoshan] [Magic Gate] who play with corpses!
In addition, and most importantly, the cost-effectiveness of using necronomicon to labor is too low!
To make a zongzi work non-stop every day, instead of hiding in the ground to sleep, the blood food needed is not a small amount, enough to support seven or eight living creatures!
The undead creatures are not perpetual motion machines. You can let them bury them in the ground to absorb Yin Qi and recharge for a few months, and then have a short high-intensity battle.
Do you want them to work non-stop every day under the sun?
I don't have the ability to know how to cut!
Sighing regretfully, Zhao Yinshun temporarily put this matter aside.
"Let's talk about this later. Now, except for some sensitive people, everyone can be conscripted for labor, and the construction needs will be met first."
"In addition, we can increase the intensity of recruitment. What we lack now is time, not money, you know?"
"Yes."
earnestly memorized every word of Zhao Yinshun, and Zhou Rou respectfully exited the study.
Immediately afterwards, a group of blond old men and women walked in cautiously, learning the movements and salutes of the leader.
"My lord, at your call."
Zhao Yinshun's eyes lit up when he saw the group of new faces behind Tim.
"Tim, who are they?"
"Sir, they are all masters who came to Luzhou at my invitation. This is Hank Amy, sixth-order [Metal Controller]."
"Hank Amy, see your lord."
He bowed his hands clumsily, but before he could bend down, a flower suddenly appeared in front of his eyes, and the boy in white a few meters away had already stood in front of him and kindly held his hand.
"Master, you don't have to be polite, [Liuyin Fengguo] is thirsty for talents. From now on, you can treat this place as your own home."
looked up and looked around, the handsome to the supernatural level of the young man showed a breathtaking and bright smile, even if these old men and old ladies had a firm mind, they could not help but move slightly.
This monarch is so kind and kind, not as scary as Tim said...
The nervousness in my heart quickly faded away. Under the warm greeting of the young man, everyone took their seats in the study, and the atmosphere gradually became warmer.
After a while, Zhao Yinshun took the topic to the right track without a trace, keeping in mind these extraordinary people who were at the lowest level of the fourth rank.
"Tim, have you seen the ironclad I captured?"
"We've seen it all, and we all use relatively backward technologies, so it's not difficult."
"Oh? Then if I want to upgrade all my warships to stronger ironclads, can you do it?"
Hearing this, the eyes of the old man and the old lady present lit up, obviously showing a trace of unbearable joy.
Hmmm… The researchers don’t have the kind of scheming and scheming politicians, but it’s not bad…
nodded secretly in his heart, Zhao Yinshun observed everyone's reaction, and faintly guessed the answer.
"No problem, my lord, it just requires a lot of supporting facilities, and it may take a little time... and money."
Is it a little bit or a million dots?
Rubbing his chin, Zhao Yinshun pursed his lips thoughtfully and nodded with a smile.
"What facilities are needed?"
"We need a professional steelmaking plant. Damin's current small workshop is fine for making cold weapons, but it absolutely cannot support the consumption of large war machines."
Before Tim could answer, Hank Amy couldn't help but speak.
"I learned a bit. The steel output in the entire Luzhou is less than 10,000 tons, most of which are raw iron and crude steel. The enchanted metal that meets the armor level of ships is less than 1%, which is not enough to arm a small boat... "
Before he finished speaking, another old lady shook her head solemnly.
"No, the dock is the top priority. Linbo City only has a refining dock of less than 5,000 tons. The lightly injured warships can still be repaired slowly on their own. The few seriously injured warships have no berths at all. 'die'."
"NO, NO, NO, the development of naval guns is the top priority. Why is the loss so serious this time, it is because the power of artillery fire cannot penetrate the enemy's armor!"
"Hehe, there is no rigorous and mature battleship design, all you are talking about are castles in the air, and funds should be given priority to the development of battleships!"
…………
The heated arguments gradually escalated, and in the end, even Tim blushed and yelled, fearing that his project would be cut off from funding.
This is related to their class progress!
Listening calmly to these old men and women arguing with each other, Zhao Yinshun pondered for a long time and said softly.
"Everyone..."
The arrogant magnetic voice instantly quelled the quarrel, and everyone noticed their gaffe and calmed down a little embarrassedly.
"Everyone's words are very reasonable, so I'm going to take out 1 million big gold dollars and let you start the preliminary work first..."
As soon as these words came out, the excitement of more than a dozen legendary transcendents affected the reality, and ripples of aura that were visible to the naked eye rippled throughout the study.
"The specific allocation amount depends on the funding application form you submit, but as long as it passes the acceptance of each stage, I can set no upper limit on the subsequent funding."
Boom!
When the words [no upper limit] came out of Zhao Yinshun's mouth, everyone present couldn't hide their excitement, and their eyes shone with excitement.
Seeing their high morale, Zhao Yinshun nodded with satisfaction, and then prepared to hang a sword of Damocles over their heads.
After all, he didn't want to see $5,000 coffee pots and goats for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"By the way, let me introduce you to the head of the funding application department. All your future applications will eventually need to be signed and approved by her."
Smile and look at this group of cheerful old men and ladies, Zhao Yinshun called softly.
"Yani."
Quietly, a plump and charming figure slowly emerged on the chair beside his desk. The gorgeous and complicated crown mask covered most of her cheeks, and she was observing everyone with a smile.
There was a sudden sigh in their hearts, and everyone only felt an indescribable gaze piercing the flesh and blood, looking directly into their hearts, and seeing the deepest secrets in their minds at a glance.
Who is this?
Has she been sitting there the whole time?
Why didn't we find her before? ? !
Secretly exchanged glances, everyone only felt their scalps numb, and inexplicable anger and fear surged in their hearts.
Being watched but unable to detect, which **** is this?
No, even if it is a real god, with the person of himself and others, being spied on will cause some sensations...unless...
The terrible guess in his heart was soon confirmed, and Zhao Yinshun introduced them with a smile.
"Oakley Yani, the high priest of [Omniscient Eye], is now my personal advisor, in charge of intelligence and auditing."
Boom!
There seemed to be a thunderous explosion in his mind, goose bumps all over his body stood up, and everyone stood up at the same time, as if performing some kind of mysterious ritual, and gestured a long and complicated ritual.
"Mechanical God Sect Tier 6 [Metal Controller], Hank Amy..."
"Mechanical God Tier 6 [Magic Pattern Mage], Tim Yale..."
"Mechanical God Tier 5 [Ship Builder], Charles Newman..."
…
The old men and the old ladies announced their names in a low and solemn manner, and finally bent down 90 degrees in a uniform manner, whispering like a chant.
"Meet the omniscient and almighty hidden master, you hang high above all living beings, urging us to move forward with your eyes..."
Listening to their babbling murmurs, Zhao Yinshun looked at Oakley Yani in surprise. He didn't expect this slightly childish entertainer to be so well-mannered.
seemed to sense his thoughts, and Zhao Yinshun felt her rolling her eyes through the mask.
"He is a generous Lord, work hard and you will be richly rewarded."
pointed to the boy in white, Oakley Yani said quietly.
Him?
dominate?
The scalps of the people who bowed their heads seemed to be overcharged, and they couldn't believe that they were talking and laughing with such a great existence just now.
Tim, this idiot, actually said that he was just a third-order warrior with a lot of money and stupidity? !
An existence that can be honored as "He" and "Master" by the High Priest of the [Omniscient Eye], you actually imply that we cheated funds from him? !
Don't die? !
Some of the careful thoughts in their hearts were instantly extinguished, and everyone bowed their heads in fear, not daring to look directly at the two Venerables in front of them.
"I bless you."
Afterwards, Oakley Yani stretched out her slender index finger and drew a triangle in the air. The complicated and mysterious lines were drawn out of thin air. The sacred emblem that could not be looked at suddenly turned from virtual to solid. A mysterious dark eye opened in the center of the triangle. The mind-blowing vastness glanced around, and quickly disappeared back into the void.
The extremely penetrating line of sight swept across, and everyone only felt that every cell of theirs was completely exposed to the sun.
Immediately, a quirky pleasure filled their body and mind, as if they were relieved of a heavy burden, and their spirituality was instantly released, and all kinds of unrestrained inspiration flashed back and forth in their minds.
"Praise you, the omniscient and almighty hidden master..."
After completing the final conclusion of the complex ceremony, everyone straightened their waists slightly, but their eyes were always lowered to the floor, and they did not dare to look directly at the face of the gods.
"Okay, let's go down."
Hearing Oakley Yani's words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, bowed their heads, and walked backwards out of the study.
On the other side, there were no outsiders in the study, Oakley Yani glanced at the boy angrily.
"I don't have time to help you audit any funds!"
"Don't worry, the audit is done by professional people, I just moved you out to scare them, I didn't expect the effect to be so good..."
"Humph! Now you know how great I am?"
Looking at the smug Oakley Yani, Zhao Yinshun laughed and shook his head.
"Then, this great being, can you work hard and don't make the cat jump up and down all day long... If you really can't, go and feed the pigs."
"I want to feed the pigs, and I want to stroke the cats. As for work, that's impossible!"
"Then you can't play for now, I have to take them back to the imperial capital."
"what?"
's expression was startled, and Oakley Yani quickly came back to her senses.
"Are you going to upgrade?"
"Well, after a long delay, it's time to enter the next stage."
"But you've only just advanced for half a year, why don't you try to sprint to the theoretical energy level? The transformation of the legendary life of the third and fourth is very rare. With your aptitude, there is no need to worry at all."
Listening to Oakley Yani's puzzled question, Zhao Yinshun smiled mysteriously.
"But I've reached the limit of my theory..."
's breath shook slightly, Oakley Yani instantly understood something, her breathing became faintly rapid, and she asked tentatively.
"God?"
"No, the abyss."
………………
"I ride a white horse and walk through three stages..."
humming a melodious tune, Zhao Yinshun rode the snow-white dragon horse on the straight road. Originally, it took more than half a month to go around by water, but now Ao Baibai can reach the imperial capital in a few days.
The thirsty young man returned to his heart like an arrow, and Ao Baibai, who was so idle, let go of Sa Huan, and ran wildly day and night, from the eastern part of Luzhou to the center of Zhili in one breath.
After being away from Beijing for several months, Zhao Yinshun inexplicably felt a touch of decay when he came back this time.
Even in the prosperous towns along the way, it is difficult to conceal the sluggishness of the people.
That is a very subtle feeling, a resonance sensation at the spiritual level...
After careful observation all the way, when he arrived at the imperial capital and looked at the majestic Forbidden City, Zhao Yinshun finally understood the source of all these changes.
The destiny of the empire...starts to crumble...
Heaved a long sigh, and a young man dressed in white beat the snow to urge the horse to enter the city, and he sensed a familiar aura from a distance.
"Meow I'm Su Lingyi again..."
The snow-white cat head came out from the collar, and before she could utter a rhetoric, a chubby pig head pushed her aside and snorted excitedly.
“kuongkuong”
"What are you calling a pig? I bite you! Meow!"
"Woooo"
was hugged and chewed for a few bites, Zhu Xiangxiang let out a grieved groan, and a slender jade hand suddenly fell from the void, and carried her out of Zhao Yinshun's collar.
"Humph! It will only bully the little sister, and she doesn't look like a sister at all!"
Looking at the tall figure holding the little pig, Zhao Yinshun smiled softly, but the kitten at the neck roared excitedly, as if he wanted to vent the fright he had suffered during this period of time.
"Silly dog! Eat my paw!"
“???”
Thank you [Yichen_] for the reward.
