Hod smiled and said, "Don't make a statement lightly, don't you want to listen?"

Hatter looked at Hod and said coldly: "Okay, tell me."

"My news is about Neos." After a brief statement, Hodd did not continue, "Believe me, Miss Fengyu will definitely be interested in this person's intelligence."

Neos Hait knew that although Neos was introduced to the psychic academy by Danica, he was very mysterious. Even Danica did not know enough about him, so when Neos just entered the psychic academy, Danica issued an order to monitor the guy closely. This surveillance continued until he disappeared some time ago, which seemed to indicate that Danica did not give Neos enough trust from beginning to end.

Haite said in a slow tone: "The dean may be interested in the news you said, but what can this news be exchanged for is not something we can decide, and the dean needs to make a judgment. So, I will arrange someone to report this matter to the dean as soon as possible... However, the journey back and forth is not close, and it is hard to say when I can get a reply from the dean, so you are planning to... in the past few days?"

This sentence made Hod hesitate a little. Although he was not optimistic about Corres and had the idea of ​​breaking out of her control, it was just an idea and had not taken any direct action. As long as there was no direct action, there was still room for return. I believe that Heat was not the kind of person who likes to yell everywhere. But now, if Hod did not follow Minaihil to attack the Dwarf Kingdom and insisted on staying here, it would directly express his intentions. Corres would not be happy. If he didn't get it, or did not get the protection provided by Danica in time, Corres' dissatisfaction would be directly vented on his head. At that time... Thinking of all the tragic experiences before, Hod couldn't help but tremble. That woman was not easy to mess with.

"Let's do that." Hod said solemnly, "I'd better go back to Minaishire's army. No matter what happens in the future, I have indeed received the support and protection of the leader over the past ten years, so it's also worth helping her seize a holy throne."

Haite sneered in his heart. Although Hod said so well, he just didn't dare to go against Corris. However, this kind of thing didn't need to be clear. Haite nodded and said, "Okay, I wish you all the best."

Hatt felt much more relaxed when she got rid of the old dog. She could finally devote herself to receiving the work of the three major magic academies. As for the news that Hodd said... Hatt made a small thought here. A week after talking to Hod that day, she mentioned this in an understatement in a report submitted to Danica - Hatt doesn't like Hod, and doesn't like him interfering in her own affairs. Anyway, the matter has been reported to Danica, so she doesn't care about the result.

Two days later, Danica's reply came down, without mentioning the incident that Haite had described in the report.

Did the dean really not notice it? Heit muttered in his heart and put the reply documents in a file bag. This is best. As its new home, the three magic academies do not want to live in an annoying old dog.

Hayte's guess was a bit inaccurate. Of course, Danica saw that sentence, which really aroused her curiosity. However, Danica has a lot of things to worry about now, and she doesn't care about Neos anymore. That guy wants to do whatever he wants!

...

On this day, Danica walked out of the Gemini Palace with a rare opportunity and headed to the Ruhr area in a carriage.

The Ruhr area is located to the south of the Twin Cities, with a large number of high-quality coal mines, and is the most important industrial production base in the Gemini Kingdom. With the powerful power brought by burning coal, this land has hundreds of large factories, and industrial production is developing vigorously here. Several arsenals directly under the headquarters of the Aixue Chamber of Commerce were also arranged here.

As soon as he entered the Ruhr area, Danica smelled a special smell. It was not easy to describe it. It was probably a foul smell based on other disgusting smells, as well as obvious tiny dust. After just a few breaths, Danica felt obvious discomfort in her lungs.

Danica frowned slightly and said, "Can people live here?"

In addition to Xiaolei and the others' personal maids who came out this time, Lina, the new commander of the military headquarters, also came here.

Hearing Danica say this, Lina explained: "The air here is really not good, but there is no way, this will happen if it burns coal." As an important military production site in the Gemini Kingdom, Lina, who was originally responsible for logistics supply in the military headquarters, has also been here several times and is quite familiar with the situation in the Ruhr area.

Danica said: "We are nothing. After all, we are professionals and our physical strength is OK, but what about those ordinary civilians? They are easily sick in such an environment."

Lina said indifferently: "If you are sick, just get sick. Just dismiss it. There are a large number of skilled workers in the Ruhr area. With them, the production progress of the arsenal will not be lost."

This is the cruel fate that civilians in this world have to face. They lack the ability to resist and can only allow the exploitation of nobles and big merchants.

Danica's frown deeper. Before, there were people from the administrative department organizing workers to bargain with factory owners to fight for more rights. But now, the new administrative department has just been rebuilt, and there are a lot of things to deal with every day, which consumes almost all the time and energy of Oliga and her officials at all levels. She really doesn't have the heart to care about the life and death of the workers. However, there is no good solution for the time being, so she can only wait for Oliga to mature. This new administrative department will mature and become familiar with government affairs. It is then that she has time to help these poor workers get the treatment they deserve.

The carriage continued to move forward, and after walking for two or three hours, he came to the door of a factory. From the outside, the factory covers a large area and is highly vigilant. You can even see some soldiers from the military patrol here in the form of a small team. This is an arsenal and is responsible for the main research and development work. The research on artillery was completed here and belongs to a military important place.

At the door, Luna, who is currently in charge of all the affairs of the Aishue Chamber of Commerce, has been waiting there. Seeing a carriage with the guards sign slowly coming, Luna took a few steps forward and got on the carriage after reporting. She did not enter the carriage, but sat in front of the carriage, guided Xiaotong, who was rushing around, and came to the back of the factory. This is the final destination.

After arriving at the place, Danica got off the carriage on a small stool. It was early winter now, and a cold wind blew, which made her unable to help but gather her cloak. Although she had recovered a lot, Danica's body is still far from healthy now, and she can't even resist the too strong cold.

"Is this the shooting range?" Danica looked around and asked. The so-called shooting range was actually a large open space, with some rough buildings, with trees standing there and being used as targets.

Luna stepped forward and replied: "Yes, your Majesty, this is an experimental shooting range inside Aishi Arsenal."

Danica nodded and said, "Okay, let's start."

"Yes, your majesty." Luna and Lina said in unison.

The reason why Danica was willing to come out of the Gemini Palace today was to come and personally inspect the eleven-inch cannon recently developed by the Aixue Chamber of Commerce.

The Aishi Chamber of Commerce first produced five-inch cannons. Although in Danica's opinion, those cannons that can only fire five-inch shells are far from enough in terms of power and have a little short range, the military headquarters is already quite satisfied, especially when tens of thousands of cannons were fired at the same time, the scene was still spectacular and extremely deterrent.

At this stage, the military headquarters still has a large number of five-inch cannons installed, and some seven-inch cannons have been delivered to the military headquarters one after another. At the same time, the craftsmen of the Aixue Chamber of Commerce are improving the production process of nine-inch cannons and are also trying to make larger cannons, such as eleven-inch large cannons.

After more than a year of research and development, the first batch of three eleven-inch cannons were finally manufactured. Danica also came out of the palace to see the power of this large cannon.

Luna gave the order and several strong craftsmen apprentices struggled to push out three eleven-inch cannons from the warehouse. There were also several senior craftsmen next to them. The blacksmith stood there and waited for the last inspection to complete the last inspection. They would personally test the big guys in front of Her Queen.

Seeing the stout young men pushing the cannons with difficulty, and the wooden wheels rolled a clear rut on the ground of the rammed earth, Lina couldn't help but say, "This thing is too heavy, right?"

Luna introduced: "The three eleven-inch cannons weigh about one ton and five. Of course, they cannot be pushed by manpower on the battlefield. Mules and horses will be arranged to pull them at that time."

Lina frowned slightly and said, "It's so heavy, it's inconvenient to pull it with mules and horses!"

Danica said: "This kind of artillery is mainly used to siege cities or bombard powerful targets. No matter how inconvenient it is, it is better than filling it with human lives."

"Yes, your majesty." Lina said quickly.

It took more than half an hour before the three cannons were in the designated position. Several senior craftsmen who were already impatient to wait hurried over to do the final inspection, and then adjusted the angle, aiming to the small masonry structure fortress in the distance.

After looking for a while, Danica said: "Now the angle calibration of artillery depends on human eyes and experience?" Danica remembered that a few months ago she ordered Luna to find a way to create a tool to help the artillery complete the calibration of artillery. In her broken memory, artillery calibration seemed to use a relatively complex machinery.

Luna froze and said nervously: "The tool that His Majesty mentioned is still under development..."

“Which step has it been developed?”

"This..." Luna felt that her cold sweat was about to come out. Seeing that Danica was already a little impatient, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's still in the design stage."

Danica frowned and said, "Okay, I understand." Then she didn't say anything more.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the preparations were finally completed. Luna personally issued an order: "Start!"

With a loud bang, a huge fireball flew out of the barrel of the eleven-inch cannon and headed straight for the fortress in the distance, hitting heavily on the thick wall.

Danica quickly calculated the lethality of this kind of cannon in her mind. It was good. Even if a mid-level profession was hit by such a cannon, even if he didn't die, he would only have half his life left. At this point, the Gemini Kingdom finally had a weapon that could restrict mid-level professions.

Speaking of which, it was also a sin that Danica had committed herself. She killed all the nobles of the Gemini Kingdom at the beginning of the founding of the country, resulting in less power in the Gemini Kingdom, especially middle and high-level professions, than other continental levels. Although relying on strict discipline and high-intensity training, coupled with the magic equipment ordered from the Elf King's Court, the Gemini army can deal with middle-level professions, but if such a war continues, the losses themselves will be too great and it is a bit more worthwhile. Now, with such a kind of artillery, it can greatly alleviate the pressure on the Gemini army in this regard.

Just as Danica was imagining a bright future in her mind, a particularly dull sound was heard, and a cannon exploded after firing three cannons, and several craftsmen next to her were injured.

Well...well, the technology of this kind of artillery is too immature, Danica thought helplessly.

After the accident, the scene suddenly became messy, and the injured craftsman shouted shrillly. The apprentice was in a panic and didn't know what to do. Several managers rushed over and were still shouting desperately: Go and find a doctor. In short, the whole scene was particularly chaotic.

It was indeed a bit bad to let the Gemini Queen see this. When she noticed that Luna's face changed drastically, Lina smiled and said, "The power of this kind of cannon is indeed quite powerful. If it is used to siege the city, it can completely collapse a piece of the city wall." Lina said this at this time to relieve the embarrassment.

Sure enough, Danica's face became less serious and she said, "Indeed, with the help of artillery, the siege battle would be much simpler, and the sacrifice would not be so serious." Although the artillery technology is not yet mature, it can always be improved.

"The cannon is powerful, and the average cost is completely acceptable. It is simply a perfect weapon." Seeing that Danica's face eased a lot, Lina also joked, "Apart from being unable to face the sky, artillery is useless in the face of threats from heaven." But there is no threat from heaven in this world, so Lina said this sentence completely.

However, there is really no threat from heaven in this world?
