Chapter 854 Open!

After Wolf Girl’s technological breakthrough, the first problem now is how to promote it.

Horn’s idea is that the army comes first, and the workshop comes second.

For a long time, the Holy Favor technology needed to be kept secret.

Wait until future operations have evolved enough technical barriers, and then slowly release it to the outside world.

Although it would be difficult for those behind to catch up as long as they were one or two steps ahead, Horn did not dare to underestimate the world’s talents.

After all, the empire is quite powerful, and judging by the confrontation with King Gigi, there are also many smart people among them.

It is not certain. For example, the diligent and hardworking duo of the Fran Kingdom took advantage of the abundant resources of Fran and surpassed the others.

Since the Franks are far away from the Holy City and are not a kingdom transformed from the old Aiel Guard like the Leias, they do not respect the authority of the church as much as the Leias do.

Several generations of Frankish kings were pragmatists. If large-scale divine favor technology fell into their hands, they would really dare to modify politics to adapt to the technology.

It’s nothing more than selling dog meat under the guise of selling mutton. For example, the island monster-raising technology is called “Monster Concentrated Clearance Plan” by the French.

If the Holy Blessing technology falls into their hands, clockwork guns will become popular.

With the Franks’ economy worth millions of gold pounds a year, the Thousand Valley Holy Alliance will face another tough battle.

Horn forked the stewed purple egg beef brisket into his mouth and stared at a spot on the tablecloth, still thinking.

He had held several meetings with several privy monks in the past few days regarding issues related to this Holy Favor Technology.

Some of the key points have just been finalized. First, the newspapers will spread the word that Shengjuan Technology is the Xialu fever vaccine.

Then promote it in the army, and try to make most soldiers possess holy power, especially officers.

Finally, it will be the turn of the ordinary alchemists in the workshop. Horn plans to establish a household registration system for the workshop.

That is to say, the laborers’ household registration would be tied to the state-owned workshops, and after the guild organizations were dismantled, skilled workers would be selected from them to be granted the emperor’s favor.

As things stand now, only the workers in the Holy Court can enjoy this treatment.

Because it is difficult for outsiders to enter the Holy See, and it is also difficult for alchemist priests to leave the Holy See.

After swallowing the last bite of purple egg beef, Horn raised his head and said to Bonard in front of him: “In the evening, call the privy monks and Madeleine, and we will hold another meeting, the last time.”

Bonard opened his schedule and flipped through it, but shook his head: “I’m afraid not.”

“Any scheduling conflicts?”

“You forgot that it has been five days since you returned to the Holy Court. Tonight is the day of ether guidance.”

“Oh, what a coincidence, the calculation happened to be tonight?”

“Yes, it’s just such a coincidence.”

After taking the schedule from Bonard, Horn realized that five days had passed in the blink of an eye.

Coincidentally, just yesterday I calculated the date of the second weak point in the star realm and the positions of many instruments, and I found that the nearest day was tonight.

Horn subconsciously touched the one-eyed necklace on his chest.

According to the giant dragon under the Palace of the Goddess, after wearing it, he will not have to worry about the attraction of the astral realm to his head.

As to why the astral plane had an attraction to his mind, and where the red eyes he had seen earlier came from, the dragon said nothing.

I really don’t know where this dragon knew so many secrets.

“Okay, let’s schedule it for the afternoon… Never mind, let’s schedule it for breakfast tomorrow. I’ll take a nap in the afternoon.”

…………

In the evening, Horn got up, ate some pork chops and bread, and took a carriage to the Mechanical Palace.

The wolf girl went to prepare, leaving only Giles to greet Horn.

Stepping into the familiar Ether Spire, Shadow Witch Solan appeared from the thin air.

The Machine Soul Witch Novia, who was still researching the winding machine on the outskirts of the city, rushed over to protect Horn.

After all, the last time Horn saw the scene of Ether Guidance, it was not so friendly.

Although Horn had tested it, he no longer had these problems after wearing the necklace given by the dragon.

But it still couldn’t stop these witches from getting nervous.

You know, Horn is the absolute core of the Thousand River Valley Holy Alliance. If anything happens to his health, the consequences will be disastrous.

A lesson from the past is Ms. Carrie, who was seriously injured in the war and was driven out of office by Horn.

“Is the arrangement ready?”

Looking at the spiraling fluorite, the winding track and the instruments gliding on the track, Horn asked in a deep voice.

A slightly nervous Zhongzi licked his cracked lips: “Not yet, please wait, it will start in an hour.” Compared to the previous star realm weak point which was at midnight, this time the star realm weak point was only around eight o’clock.

According to the analysis of many core scholars from the Mechanical Palace and the Natural Theology Academy, even the divination of the Dreamless Witch Estera.

Horn vaguely felt the small rules guided by the ether.

If the location where the etheric spire draws ether from the astral plane is called etheric coordinate, then each etheric spire corresponds to an etheric coordinate.

Many scholars once believed that the etheric coordinates corresponding to the etheric spire would open once every twenty days.

Now we have figured out the second weak point in the star realm, which will be exactly ten days later.

Is it possible that the etheric coordinates are there at all times, but are constantly moving?

The action of the Ether Spire is like plucking a feather from a bird flying a fixed route.

The first weak point in the star realm was equivalent to a position that the bird passed by regularly, and now this weak point is equivalent to the second position.

When enough locations have been identified, it is possible to follow the bird’s route and pluck its feathers 24 hours a day.

That means a constant source of energy twenty-four hours a day.

If the Moon Mercury transfers energy fast enough, the Ether Spire can be connected to the Starcast Gear through the Moon Mercury, basically completing Leonardo’s dream.

Perpetual motion machine.

Although it is a perpetual motion machine with external input, its external input is well hidden, so to outsiders it looks like a perpetual motion machine.

To explain, the Ether Spire is connected to the Holy Father’s Mount of Bliss, and the Holy Father’s big hand drives the perpetual motion machine through the moon’s mercury.

Great Holy Father.

Currently, the output of the Starcast Gear depends entirely on how much Ether remains inside.

As long as there is enough ether, one person can lift an object weighing dozens of tons by just shaking the handle.

Although it may only take half a second and consume all the ether, maybe the output limit is only related to the ether.

Horn didn’t dare to imagine how big the objects could be lifted if there was a constant supply of energy.

If we can really calculate the “movement” trajectory of the etheric coordinates, maybe when the empire attacks, we will see the Holy See standing up.

Even if it doesn’t reach that level, going from charging once every twenty days to charging once every ten days will be of great help to the production and construction of the Holy Machinery Court.

Under Shilov’s command, the instrument glided along the track.

As time passed, the spiral fluorescent lamps lit up one by one, illuminating everyone’s faces.

“It’s begun.” Horn murmured in a low voice, as if talking to himself, or as if explaining to Thelomis and Solan.

Novia took a step sideways, ready to fly out with Horn in her arms at any time.

With her hands clasped in front of her chest, Shilov whispered a strange Elish spell.

Her voice echoed around the inner walls of the Ether Spire, forming a strange hum that was inaudible to ordinary humans.

The glowstone lamp flickered.

Horn held the necklace: “It’s coming.”

Tons of starlight gathered into a white beam of light, which hummed down from the top of the tower, and the familiar astral rift opened again.

Everyone was staring at Horn, and he suddenly covered his chest and made a sound.

“Your Majesty?!”

“Not good, Your Majesty!”

Novia flew low to Horn’s side, and Solan also grabbed Horn’s clothes, trying to take him out of the Ether Spire.

“Ahem, sorry, I ate too much for dinner and I couldn’t help but burp.”

Facing the unfriendly looks from Novia and Solan, Horn waved his hand awkwardly: “I think the atmosphere is too tense, let’s relax it.”

He raised his head and looked at the rift in the star realm.

This time, the red eyes did not peer through the crack.

The ether flowed smoothly into the moon mercury pool and turned into bright white light.

With a pale face, the wolf girl turned her wheelchair and came to Horn.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but there was a faint, coquettish smile on that face covered in cold sweat.

“Horn, look, I succeeded in finding the second etheric guide point!”
