Age of Empires From Scratch

Tianhuo chose to scan the Belfast at the beginning, in addition to its own adaptability, because it believed that this light cruiser was suitable for the current Winter City.

James Norrington and the sailors he trained also came into contact with and became familiar with this World War II warship.

It can be said that if they are given a Belfast, they can move the ship very skillfully and operate it for naval battles.

So James will choose this battleship again, which is actually a very reasonable choice.

"Will the firepower be insufficient..." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he knew that he had asked a stupid question. Is Winter City short of firepower now? No shortage at all!

Whether it is the Decepticons or the Winter Knights, enough firepower can be ensured.

Including Hood can also provide fire support. Although the ship equipment used by her humanoid battleship is many times smaller than that of a real battleship, the actual power is comparable to that of the 'original' naval gun, even Even better!

"After dinner, I'm going to visit the Winter River..."

"By the way, you don't know yet, do you? The military dock has been moved further west."

"..."

After going out for a while, David realized that there have been many changes in Winter City, and I am afraid he will have to go around the city himself.

"Just right, I can also look around to see what changes have taken place in Winter City during this time."

Eva can't get out of bed, and there is no way to report to David. Although Elias can do similar work, David thinks it is better to walk around in person.

He didn't want to be the kind of ruler who sat in an office all day and learned about his territory through reports.

Some things are described through words and language, which is far less intuitive than the pictures seen with one's own eyes.

"Together, I can still be your guide!" Sophia's greatest pleasure is to understand everything in Winter City. After living for so long, she already has enough understanding of all aspects of Winter City.

In particular, her special identity and the current situation of living in Glamorgan Castle make it impossible to hide many "secrets" in Winter City from her. It can be said that Sophia knows everything she should know, and she also knows what she shouldn't know Not a lot.

"Then let Sophia introduce to me today, the various changes in Winter City during this period!"

"Leave it to me."

Continuing to eat, perhaps thinking about the upcoming trip, Sophia ate a lot faster, and Hood reminded her several times before she managed to maintain the elegant posture that the princess should have.

But no matter how fast she ate, it was useless, because she had to sit here and wait for David and Hood to finish their breakfast before leaving.

Fortunately, both of them couldn't bear to watch Sophia swaying on pins and needles, and quickly settled the breakfast in front of them, and left Glamorgan Castle with Sophia.

Instead of driving by himself, David called a guard, drove the vehicle in Fort Glamorgan, and drove him, Sophia, and Hood to the new military dock.

When the car drove towards the bank of the Cold Winter River, then turned north along the newly built road along the river bank, and finally drove on the bridge that had just been built not long ago, David hadn't reacted yet.

It wasn't until the car was speeding forward on the bridge, looking through the window at the wide river just 'below', that he sighed: "The efficiency of the Diggers is really high."

Apart from emotion, he wanted to increase the benefits for the land diggers, but after thinking about it, he didn't know which aspect of the benefits should be increased?

Or give some rewards alone? But what to reward is still a headache for him?

Find a time to ask the diggers and see what they want!

Through the long bridge to the other side, this place is much more desolate than the other side of Winter City, but there are already several factories standing in this area.

"The industrial zone has also been established?"

This is the originally designated Rinwinter City Industrial Zone. According to the plan, a large number of factories will be established in this area. Among them, the more important military factories will be in relatively hidden areas. These factories on the surface are more for service. The people of Winterfell.

"Yes, the basic framework has been built."

In the future, with the increase of various demands in Winter City, various factories will also be established here.

According to Sophia, those nobles from Tilan's royal capital wanted to build a car factory to produce Winter City's own cars.

Of course, the aristocrats want to make cars, not because they think this is a blank industry and want to seize the market in advance.

The idea of ​​the nobles is very simple, because Winter City is currently being built bigger and bigger, covering more and more land, and travel has gradually become a problem.

For civilians, they don't mind using their feet to walk to their destinations, not to mention that there is an increasingly perfect public transportation system in Winter City, and public buses are everyone's favorite choice.

As the population increased, Governor Wetherby-Swan also ordered the Department of Transportation to increase the number of public buses and develop better bus routes.

But the nobles are not willing to squeeze public transportation with the civilians. As for the carriages used in the past, because Winter City lacks enough horses, a small number of them remain in the army, so that the nobles cannot get enough horses. pull cart.

The dignified nobleman of the kingdom of Tilan doesn't even have a car when he goes out. What kind of talk does that sound like?

Therefore, the nobles focused on the special product of Winter City: cars.

This kind of vehicle that doesn't need to be pulled by horses and livestock is very good, and from the perspective that civilians can also take buses, Winter City has mature automobile manufacturing technology.

The problem now is how to get the technology and make various vehicles for the nobles.

They don't have to worry about the appearance of the vehicle. The various cars transformed by the "Autobots" among the Cybertronians are excellent templates.

Regardless of appearance or function, everything is perfect. If nobles want to make cars, they can just copy the Autobots.

"That's it..."

The cars in Winter City do not use gasoline as fuel, but use crystal ore as a power source, which is definitely not suitable for making private cars.

If it had been earlier, David would have vetoed the ideas of the nobles without hesitation, but it is different now.

A lot of technology has been obtained from the Marvel universe, including sufficiently advanced battery technology.

Replacing the crystal mine engine with a battery drive is technically no difficulty at all.

"It seems that some factories can be handed over to these people to build."

At that time, let the nobles pay for the corresponding technology from the cold winter alchemy workshop and his lord, and then let them build a car factory.

In addition to the first sum of money, a part of each car will also be handed over to Lindong Alchemy Workshop and himself. Is it possible to find a stable income channel for the Alchemy Workshop and myself?

What if the cars built by the nobles cannot be sold? That is the business of the nobles, and has nothing to do with David.

As soon as this idea came out, David felt that not only automobile technology, but also many technologies could be handed over to ordinary people for operation, and it might also improve Winter City's commercial taxation system.

"Well... talk to Wetherby and Pierre about it later."

When David was thinking this way, the car had already arrived at the new military dock.

This is currently the westernmost area of ​​Winter City. It can be regarded as the western border of Winter City. There are only a few barracks and distant docks in the large open space. From the size of the open space and the location of the barracks, David guessed that James Noah Linton is planning to build this place into the Winter City Naval Base.

Entering through the sentry post at the gate, when David came to the pier, James Norrington also arrived after receiving the news.

"Your Excellency the Duke."

"I heard that you have moved a new warship, I'll come over to see... which one is it?"

There are two Thunderbolt speedboats and two Belfasts parked on the pier, one of which is transformed from Skyfire, and they look exactly the same at this moment, and it is hard to tell which one is Skyfire and which one is normal at first glance. battleship.

"This one." James Norrington pointed to the battleship on the left side of the front. The Belfast transformed by Skyfire is located "further west" and is the first line of defense for Winter City.

"Go, go up and have a look."

The light cruiser Belfast is moored on the Thames as a museum, and it is quite an easy-to-find warship.

After being transported back to Winter City, James Norrington commanded his sailors to thoroughly clean and organize the Belfast, cleaning up all the 'unused' things in it, and restoring it to the battleship status.

"However, a thorough overhaul and testing of the various internal facilities is still required. It may take some time to fully restore its combat effectiveness."

James Norrington was very excited to board the battleship with the lord.

When he was still in Port Royal a few years ago, even if he became a commodore of the Royal Navy, he never thought that one day he would be able to command such a 'powerful' steel warship.

Although there are still many problems to be solved, a bright future is beckoning to him, and he believes that he will be able to return to the vast ocean in a short time.

Just when James Norrington was looking forward to the bright future of returning to the sea, David, who was standing on the front deck of the Belfast and stroking the barrel of the main gun, suddenly had an idea in his heart.

He didn't think about where this idea came from, and directly took out the Rubik's Cube that had been put in the storage bracelet earlier.

At this time, David was touching Belfast with one hand and holding the blue cube in the other. Then he clearly saw that the blue cube in his hand began to emit blue light, and slowly left David's palm to float In mid-air, it emits more and more dazzling brilliance.

"Everyone, get off the ship immediately!"

Although James Norrington didn't know what happened, he felt that his dream of sailing the ocean again seemed to be postponed!
