Chapter 619 Frost Stars and Moon
"I didn't expect that you and the Shadow Flame Dragon teamed up to defeat Shuangda." King Ares has returned to the Golden Palace.
Russell also teleported over and chatted with King Ares.
"Thanks to Shadow Flame for fighting for his life, I was able to give Shuangda the head of my owl. It's a pity that Shuangda put his head back again and ran away."
"No matter what, your record is enough to alarm the entire Longmian Continent."
"Your Majesty the King, how about your fight with Shuanghe?"
"Shuanghe was just a feint attack, restraining Hongliu and me. He couldn't go to the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy to support you, so he didn't fight to the death." King Ares said, "But I found that although Shuanghe's body has not changed, his strength seems to be stronger than Shuanghe's. The character must be strong.”
"Stronger than Shuangge?"
"Well, in this way, the strength of the frost troll cannot be judged from the height of its body." Russell said.
"Indeed," King Ares said, "Shuangda's forced choice to refine the snow giant is probably not the mainstream practice method of frost trolls. Moreover, Shuanghe has killed a giant dragon, and his strength is It should grow far beyond Shuangda, but it is only twenty meters tall."
Compare Shuangge, Shuangda and Shuanghe.
After the two discussed it, they came up with a rough guess.
The evolution of the frost trolls, or the cultivation method of the frost star natives, is very strange. From snow troll to frost troll, it will be a qualitative change; from frost troll to frost giant, it will be a qualitative change; but Shuangda's body's sudden growth is only a quantitative change.
As for why there is no "quantitative change" in Shuanghe, maybe it hides this accumulation and waits for the day of qualitative change to explode again.
The more you hide, the stronger the burst of qualitative change will be, and the higher the probability of being promoted to a frost giant.
"Shuang Ge died in your hands, Shuang Da was defeated by you many times, and Shuang He's Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact was also confiscated by you. Grand Duke Russell, you are really the nemesis of the Frost Troll." When talking about the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact, King Ares sighed.
Russell smiled slightly: "I don't know what the use of this extremely ice holy weapon is."
"I really don't know what the use is yet, but the greatest use is for the Extreme Ice Sacred Artifact to fall into our hands."
In the subsequent Lei Sheng meeting, Russell released the details of this invasion battle for everyone's reference, and at the same time warned: "The frost trolls who master the ice holy weapon have the strength to break through the Grand Duchy. You must pay attention to it. "
There was nothing more he could do to help.
After returning to the Cigar Palace, Russell recuperated while accompanying Happy, wandering around the cold springs in the Green City Garden, and occasionally returned to the Qingqiu Province to visit this warm enclave created by the Harpy.
Then there is waiting, waiting for Xiao Menglong's volcano to erupt.
In the following days, bad news continued to come from the Thunder Conference.
Following the Grand Duchy of Molten Fire, Ice Edge and Starlight, the fourth and fifth Grand Duchy that were conquered by the Double Snow Troll Army were born almost at the same time. The dragon falls, the volcano goes out, and hundreds of millions of people are about to lose their homes.
Even if the surrounding countries are willing to accept refugees, migration on the snowy plains is inherently dangerous.
I don’t know how many people will be buried in the snowfield forever.
"How are our migration preparations going?" Russell summoned the cabinet to ask about the Molten Duchy's migration.
"Your Highness, the first batch of migrants has entered the trade route under the arrangement of Viscount Fred. They are all strong young and middle-aged people. While traveling, they are building the Great Wall of Ice and Snow to facilitate the subsequent migration of the population."
Chief Executive Baron Gervidas reported: "The second batch of migrants is mainly used to transport supplies. The agricultural harvest of the Molten Duchy was pretty good last year. Now all the stored food has been used, which is enough to support the migration along the way."
After a pause, he said: "The subsequent food needs to be provided by our Grand Duchy."
"This is what it should be. Their elves and elf bugs have all been sent to our Grand Duchy, and their food will naturally be provided by us." Russell said seriously, "Initiate a food rationing system across the country. In addition to the necessary ice soju, , within three years, the Grand Duchy will be completely alcohol-free!”
"Yes, Your Highness!"
"Remember, I am talking about a total ban on alcohol. Starting today, including the Red Castle, not a drop of alcohol is allowed to be brewed. Everyone, as long as they are not on the snowfield, is not allowed to take a sip of alcohol. Once discovered, no matter who is found, they will be punished. The highest punishment!”
"Your Highness, where is the enclave province?" Baron Gervidas asked with a sense of luck.
"Same." Russell's eyes were stern, "I will issue a golden seal edict, and then you will let all the nobles know my attitude. In three to five years, after the food crisis has been overcome, the food rationing system will naturally be relaxed. In these three to five years, Give me all the time!"
"Yes, Your Highness." Baron Gervidas had a grimace on his face. He couldn't drink. This would cost everyone half their lives.
Later, Russell summoned all cabinet ministers and came to question them one by one.
Learned about the progress of various affairs in the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
Finally, he said to Industry Minister Roland: "Brother, you and your father must take the lead and resolutely resist any banquet...especially my father. If you really want to drink, just go to the snowfield to drink. Alcohol is not prohibited in the snowfield."
Roland smiled and said: "Of course I have no problem, but I bet that many taverns will be built on the snowfield soon."
"It's not too much, so don't worry about it. If it's too much, my sword can kill frost trolls, and naturally it can also kill greedy people." Russell said, as long as he can keep up with the food, he will go to the snowfield to have a banquet. It’s okay to turn a blind eye.
But if he can't keep up with the food supply and still dares to waste it to make wine and drink alcohol, then don't blame him for being ruthless.
At this time, the attendant came to report: "Your Highness, it's time for the Lei Sheng Industrial Conference. Kings and princes from all over the world are waiting for you."
"Yes, I understand." Russell nodded, and then sent his eldest brother Roland out while he went to Leisheng Station.
Five grand duchies were destroyed, five dragons fell, and humanity suffered heavy losses.
And this is just the prelude to the arrival of the frost star. There are huge crises waiting later, so humans must save themselves. As a tall man, Russell naturally cannot escape this responsibility and must do everything possible to arm mankind.
Industrialization is his current solution.
I just don’t know if time can wait.
But no matter what, you have to do it first.
When we arrived at Leisheng Station, in addition to Russell, there were several great scholars and scholars who were also standing out and stood up to salute Russell.
"You don't have to be polite. You are all people with great achievements in the art of erudition, and you are also pioneers in helping industrialization." Russell said with a smile. These erudites and great erudites are constantly striving for the industrialization of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
It is this group of erudite people who have roaring trains, speeding cars, and factories one after another.
and a wide variety of industrial products.
Thunder machine, astronomical telescope, magic tower, radio...fertilizer, matches, steel, spinning wheel, enamel, rubber...
There are more industrial products under development and research.
"The next Raytheon Industry Conference is a conference for all countries that join the Raytheon Conference to promote and guide these countries to carry out industrial development. The content of the conference will be sent to all countries simultaneously."
Russell cleared his throat: "So, please follow me and speak freely, summarize the industrialization layout we have made, and look forward to the future industrialization blueprint!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" the scholars responded in unison.
One hour was spent summarizing the past, another hour was looking forward to the future, plus a question-and-answer session that was extended repeatedly. Faced with the enthusiasm of various countries, this Leisheng Industrial Conference lasted until eight o'clock in the evening before it ended.
certainly.
What really aroused the enthusiasm of the kings and grand dukes of various countries was Russell's previous propaganda, saying that the reason why he was able to defeat Shuangda was because industrialization had strengthened the power of the Shadow Flame Dragon and was able to protect the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.
Therefore, those kings and grand dukes, especially those who were not riding dragons, were the most enthusiastic and wished they could invite Russell to help them govern the country.
"Huh, I hope this time the seeds of industrialization can sprout in all countries." Russell stretched his muscles.
At this time, another attendant came to announce: "Your Highness, Director Sullivan, I would like to see you."
"So late?" Russell was just about to go home for dinner, "Forget it, invite him over."
A moment later, Sullivan, who had been promoted to director of the National Observatory of the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame and promoted to great scholar, entered the side hall under the guidance of his attendants.
After the salute, he immediately reported: "Your Highness, according to our predictions, Frost Star has completed its berth in the solar system. Judging from its subsequent trajectory, it will berth into the orbit of our Dragon Star and complete the merger."
"Merge?" Russell frowned.
"Yes, we have captured a trace of the trajectory. For three consecutive nights, the trajectory of the frost star overlapped with the trajectory of the moon in a short period of time." Sullivan said, "Your Highness might as well move to the observatory and observe the moon in person. "
Russell nodded: "Let's go to the observatory."
The National Observatory is located in the small town of North Arch outside the Red Fort. A high tower is built directly here to observe the stars directly from the top of the tower.
Taking the elevator to the top of the tower, Russell quickly observed the frost star accompanying the moon through the astronomical telescope.
In fact, even with the naked eye, you can see a bright dot on the edge of the moon.
"From the transit of the Frost Star to the Frost Star accompanying the moon, the Frost Star is approaching our Dragon Star step by step." Sullivan sighed, "However, the Frost Star captured by our high-magnification astronomical telescope always changes in light and dark. Frost Star seems to have not completely crossed the gate to another world."
Scholars in the field of astronomy have reached a consensus that Frost Star is not a planet in the solar system, but invaded from the gate to another world.
It just hasn't completed the last step across, so Frost Star is in a superposition state of two star systems at this moment.
"What will be the final result of the frost star accompanying the moon?" Russell asked while observing.
"The most likely thing is that the distance between Dragon Star and Frost Star is close enough, and the Frost and Snow Troll Legion can fly directly into space, descend on Dragon Star, and plunder everything on Dragon Star... Perhaps, after they have plundered all the resources, Frost Star I will cross the gate to another world again and leave here." Sullivan smiled bitterly.
