Global Lords: I Have Information System

Chapter 592 405: Productivity and the Skewed Tech Tree

There were many areas that could be reformed.

Meanwhile, this world's magic energy technology, rune skills, and various extraordinary powers surpassing Earth's can also be utilized.

However, in this world, the products of magic energy and magic guides are not affordable for the common people.

Take the most basic [Basic Magic Core] as an example.

If converted into dinars, it would equal a common indigenous person's one or two years of labor.

These magic guide products and rune products are often used in military or to improve the quality of life of the nobles.

Commoners need not even think about it.

The cheapest thing in this world is probably the common people themselves.

So the technology tree in this continent is actually skewed.

Magic energy and rune technology are like castles in the air, advanced yet destined to be unable to be widespread.

Thus, Zong Shen already has an idea in his mind.

He can try to reproduce Earth's technology route in this world.

Those "high precision and refined" items can be temporarily set aside.

But he can research some things that can quickly enhance productivity.

Speaking of productivity enhancement, one must mention the steam engine and the internal combustion engine.

Their nature and function are similar to the [Magic Energy Core].

However, the steam engine and internal combustion engine do not rely on magical power.

Additionally, there's gunpowder, large-scale farming techniques.

All are areas worth investigating for Zong Shen.

But before that, Zong Shen must understand the resources of this world as much as possible.

To find materials with similar properties to those on Earth.

Only then can he reproduce Earth's products.

In this continent, many Earth items do have similar existences.

The age-old problem, however, is that these items often have magic energy influences.

For example, gunpowder, early Earth gunpowder can be mass-produced by mixing sulfur, charcoal, and saltpeter in proportions.

This continent also has similar items to gunpowder.

It is referred to as "magic energy gunpowder."

They are made using a lot of sulfur, a bit of carbon powder, and secret silver, supplemented with various magic energy materials and magical support.

In making magic energy gunpowder, both the dwarf and goblin races are skilled.

The dwarves create the rune fire guns that can withstand the explosion impact of magic energy gunpowder using powerful rune forging technology.

The explosive impact of the magic energy gunpowder launches enchanted metal bullets with "armor-piercing" and "piercing" abilities.

These bullets often have speed and power far superior to bows and arrows.

They can penetrate three layers of standard light armor and a layer of metal thick armor in one shot.

Almost akin to the arrow power of Tier Four Crossbowmen.

The only downside is that the firing rate of the rune fire wall is far slower than that of bows and arrows.

It doesn't even match ordinary hand crossbows.

At the time, dwarven musketeers usually formed a musket line with three squads.

Each squad took turns firing while the rest reloaded and prepared.

Ensuring continuous firepower without interruption.

Aside from firing rate and cost, the rune fire guns have almost no faults.

Any ordinary dwarf can become a rune gunman after a bit of training.

The goblins, however, took a completely different path from the dwarves.

The goblin engineers and alchemists also study magic energy gunpowder.

And are obsessed with its explosive traits.

Focusing on this as their primary research direction.

Eventually creating the continent-famous "Goblin Bomb."

Along with various flashy explosives.

Before, Zong Shen got a batch from Boswell.

Including the liquid [Explosive Sweetheart].

Various models of [Goblin Bombs] as well as [Acid Bombs] with corrosive damage and the most common [Mining Detonator].

Classified into different models based on power.

These bombs were of great use to Zong Shen when dealing with the Spider Web Monster swarm.

These indiscriminate explosives can often cause massive damage to cluster enemies.

Regarding another thing that Zong Shen has come into contact with, the so-called [Magic Energy Cannon].

It is purely a magic energy product.

It compresses magic energy to release explosive energy bodies to harm enemies.

In summary, once the territory develops further, Zong Shen has many areas to reform.

Including the field of scientific research.

Currently, the territory's talents only include the Dwarf Uncle who possesses high-level blacksmithing techniques and some rune forging technology.

He needs to gather talents skilled in magic energy technology, rune technology, alchemy technology, engineering.

These talents are often found only in Giant Cities.

In the Giant City's magic workshops and various craft shops, one can typically find such talents.

Zong Shen stood in the [Market] and pondered for a moment.

Once this batch of cold-resistant clothing is listed, it will solve one of his concerns.

According to his estimates, this batch should be sold out within the next two days.

Specifically, within the first day of the second phase he predicted.

If all this clothing is sold, the resources gained will completely satisfy the territory's construction needs for a long time.

Zong Shen came to his senses and gathered his thoughts and plans.

After turning around, he was stunned in place.

As he turned his body, the fur coat dropped down with a "rustle."

In just these ten minutes, the ground outside the [Market] had already piled up with more than ten centimeters of snow.

The North wind swept even corners of the buildings with a layer of snow.

Zong Shen looked out to see the territory covered in white.

The entire land seemed draped with a thin white veil.

This is the power of nature.

Outside, snow continued to fall gracefully.

This level of snowfall on Earth would be called a blizzard.

Though the intensity of snow did not increase, the temperature stabilized after an initial sudden drop with the snow.

In such weather, visibility is very poor.

Moreover, with this quantity of snow, a large accumulation can occur in even less than a day.

Making it almost impossible to move.

Zong Shen was fully armored, wearing [Rabbit Fur Boots] and [Rabbit Fur Leg Guards].

He wore the [Exquisite Bear Skin Coat (Blue)] brought by Marie from home.

Coupled with his robust constitution, he did not feel cold at all.

He also wore a battle helmet, shielding most of the snow and wind.

He simply removed his battle helmet, exposing himself to the wind and snow.

Within a minute, his head and face were covered in snowflakes.

The hair on his lips and eyebrows was especially covered with a layer.

His face, due to body temperature, could rapidly melt the snowflakes.

Leaving his face damp.

Zong Shen reached out, wiping his face, the icy feeling invigorated him.

This gave him a clearer understanding of the first stage of Frosty Winter.

Then Zong Shen stepped away from the [Market] and entered the Lord's Courtyard.

Treading through the soft snow, returning to the Lord's Small Tower.

Looking back, he left a trail of clear footprints along the way.

Zong Shen stood on the steps outside the tower, stepping a few times in the air.

Shaking off the snow clinging to his Rabbit Fur Boots and legs.

Then he entered the first-floor living room.

Allowing shut the beautifully decorated door.

Keeping the wind and snow out.

Luna had completed Zong Shen's previous instructions, sitting in the hall, nodding off with the black panther in embrace.

The small tower was much warmer than outside.

In this frost winter, being in a warm dry environment easily induces drowsiness.

Zong Shen looked at Luna who was breathing softly with closed eyes, his face showing a gentle smile.

Unconsciously, he slowed his steps and movements, tiptoeing towards Luna.

After only a few steps, the black panther lazily opened its eyes, staring at Zong Shen.

Luna's elven long ears twitched slightly, opening her somewhat drowsy eyes.

As the Dark Night Female Hunter King, she had been transformed into heroic-level talent.

But her alertness and talent had not disappeared.

"Lord..."

"You have returned."

Luna quickly became alert.

Softly calling out.
