MTL - I Like This Dream!-v2 Chapter 98

Before the next heavy snowfall, a group of shadow deer who are not afraid of the cold were driven into the enclosed deer shed.

The Shadow Deer Group adapted well to the new food five-leaf clover, and soon most of them gave up their thoughts of running away, preparing to spend the cold winter in this cafeteria that suddenly appeared. Spring is the season for shadow deer to reproduce and give birth, so their resistance and escape will not be too strong. When they want to leave in the summer...it's up to them whether to stay or not.

The planting industry spread from the Tibes line of defense is called "new agriculture", while animal husbandry is old agriculture. There are old farmers who are good at dealing with livestock in the agricultural group, and they can take care of this group of shadow deer for the time being. "I've never raised such a large flock." The old farmer said honestly, "Is there only so many sheep in the noble lady's flock?"

Breeding is very common among civilians, but this does not mean how developed the farming industry is in this world. Every household has several livestock, some are a flock of chickens, a flock of ducks, a pair of geese, some are a cow, some sheep, two or three pigs. One person can herd the whole family's livestock, and those who need a sheepdog to graze can already count as a small savings. The farming industry in Yamenan is all self-sufficient small family workshops, and the nobles do not raise livestock uniformly. Their daily consumption only needs to collect taxes from the people who raise livestock.

Capital is one problem, and another problem is that there are strange beasts in Yamenan.

Although the number is far less than that of the frontier, some strange beasts are still produced in the hinterland of Yamenan every year, especially in the year of the big beast tide once every ten years. These alien beasts, which are harmful to humans, are born from their harmless kind, regardless of breed, sex, or age. People still don't know much about the conditions for the production of strange beasts, so there is no way to prevent them. They can only rely on stupid methods to keep an eye on every domestic animal. Ordinary animals will generally behave irritable and aggressive when they first give birth to crystal nuclei. Therefore, people need to pay attention to every animal they raise at home. Once they are found, they will be killed immediately when they are weak. It is difficult for the family breeding industry to expand.

Still, what's a headache to a family is a minor annoyance to a knowledgeable group.

The shadow deer is called this name because the strange beasts born from this deer can cover themselves in the shadows and attack approaching objects. There is no need for grazing to raise pastures, as long as the shadow deer is placed in a strong animal pen to feed it, even if one of them is transformed into a strange beast, it will not cause any harm.

When Gavin and others brought their research results to An Xu, An Xu was watching the group of shadow deer by the animal pen. They all have big branch-like horns, some like elk, but the horns are more exaggerated. The antlers of a shadow deer are light gray. Once it passes through the shadow, its figure becomes blurred. It is probably a mutated beast.

An Xu watched it pass by shadows with interest, not noticing the arrival of others. Gavin and the others didn't dare to disturb them, so they had to stand by and watch the deer together.

"I understand!" Ten minutes later, Gavin suddenly shouted.

An Xu was so frightened by the voice that he couldn't lie down properly, his jaw slipped from the railing. The herd of deer was startled and ran wildly, circling the animal pen in circles. The roaring Gavin didn't end well either. He frightened the man who was lifting the machine with him so much that his hand slipped, and the generator fell to the ground. In order to save his blood, Gavin put his hands and feet under the machine, and screamed from the smash.

"What's wrong with you?" An Xu asked him.

"My lord! I finally understand!" Gavin's painful face burst into surprise, "You told us before that electric current will appear when a conductive object is in a changing magnetic field, so as long as the conductive object is manually placed in a Electricity can be produced by moving in a fixed magnetic field. In our previous experiments, we used a closed coil to move around a natural magnet and successfully produced a small amount of electricity, but this is a lot of work and the resulting current intensity cannot..."

"Gavin!" The man who came with him winked desperately.

"Ah? Ah! Remove the middle part!" Gavin nodded quickly, "So we made a manual generator with a gear set, coils and wires, etc. But just now, after receiving your advice, I understand How narrow-minded I am! Human power can be transformed into electricity, so what about the power of a beast that is stronger than human? Even, even..."

He stuttered excitedly for a while, turning his head around nervously, trying to find a good analogy. The herd of shadow deer who ran away ran along the circular fence and passed in front of them again. The strong wind caused them to close their eyes. Before the deer herd finished running, Gavin opened his eyes, clapped his hands and called out.

"Even the wind! Yes, the wind!" The more he talked, the more feasible he felt, dancing in the wind, "We can use the power of the wind! Or water! Let them turn the handle! Just make the handle of the generator like an oar , like the leaves of a windmill, can it be pushed by wind and water? My lord! We can steal electricity from heaven and earth! You don’t have to generate electricity all the time!”

His heartfelt joy moved An Xu, and he felt ashamed for not directly reminding him of wind power generation and hydro power generation—can't blame her! The world has only used coal for a few days, and there is no sign of the steam age. Who knows that the era of clean energy that can overthrow wind and water power generation in one fell swoop? An Xu was in awe of Comrade Xueba. She felt that he, like Alva, was born to be a scientist.

"Good job!" An Xu patted the other party's shoulder and said with emotion, "You are not a medical student, but a physicist."

"My lord, what is physics?" Gavin asked in the joy of being commended.

Physics, a kind of natural science, studies the most general laws of matter motion and the basic structure of matter. Of course, An Xu couldn't say such a scientific and rigorous statement.

So she said, "The science of the order of things."

Gavin looked at the Queen of Thunder in horror, his lips trembled, and he repeated the "Learning of the Law of Everything". He glanced at the hand-operated generator that he had spent several days and nights building. It was bulky, had a lot of loss in operation, and produced insufficient electricity. There was still a lot of room for improvement. Prototype on display only. Does a prototype, plus a few completely untested, whimsical ideas, deserve such praise?

Does Her Majesty the Thunder Queen actually have such high expectations for him?

Gavin's eyes became moist because of the heavy trust and expectation, he swallowed a bit, and solemnly performed a magician's ceremony, which is the etiquette only a trained alchemist can perform.

He is not an excellent medical student, he is clumsy and timid, and his grades are average among his classmates. If it is not for his solid theoretical knowledge, he should not be able to accompany him this time. Gavin was once discouraged that he was far inferior to his classmates, but in the seemingly impossible expectation, he felt affirmation, which resulted in endless lofty ambitions. He's not stupid, it's just that his talent is not in medicine.

A researcher in the science of the law of everything? He thought, I will work hard.

The improvement of the generator and the method of generating electricity by animal power soon entered into the research. An Xu knew nothing about the consequences of his random writing, and continued to devote himself to daily brushing activities.

After the shadow deer were repurposed, ground squirrels became their main provider of meat. The task of the Anxu team has changed from hunting to capturing alive. Although capturing ground squirrels is not as convenient as chasing deer, this small rodent is much easier to keep than large artiodactyls. They reproduce extremely fast, and once they are caught, they form a litter. The problems of easy escape and poisonous alienated individuals are also solved after the development of the generator.

A power grid was pulled around the ground squirrel farm, and the voltage was enough to shock a ground squirrel until it convulsed and passed out, but it would not be directly electrocuted to death. The wild ground squirrels who have just entered the farm always lie down on the corpse next to the power grid several times. When they learn to be good, they can only hide as far as possible from the metal grid. Even if the power is cut off occasionally, they are not afraid of them running away.

The survival problem was temporarily solved, the messy house was rebuilt, and finally there were separate compartments, and the heating wall was placed inside the house instead of the outer wall, reducing a lot of energy consumption. After being improved by these physics researchers, An Xu realized how much electricity he had wasted and how much useless work he had done before. There are many abilities, self-willed, useless, she comforted herself. Anyway, the next use of power resources can be handed over to professionals.

Then wind power was put on the schedule. Of course, there are not enough manpower to build windmills and other devices, but the detection of wind power and site selection can already start. The future wind power plant was selected on a rare highland with open terrain, no trees around it, and strong wind. An Xu personally went to check the location of the site, and felt that the scenery there was good (of course, the terribly cold wind should be ignored), but he didn't know what he was supposed to do.

Soon she will know.

A knight named Laurien came to visit him suddenly. First, he pleaded guilty, saying how negligent he was, because of such and other important reasons, he failed to prevent the evil rebels from disturbing Earl Anna; He casually introduced his illustrious and well-spoken surname in the capital, and hinted how much his family was valued by the king with his spring and autumn style of writing; finally, he talked about the purpose: the piece of land that was regarded as a candidate for a wind power plant , is his fief.

"Isn't this my fief?" An Xu was a little taken aback.

"Ma'am," the head maid Flora whispered beside her, "according to the custom, lords can entrust their lands to their knights."

After getting the official title, the head maid Flora stopped calling Anxu "Miss" and started calling her "Madame", probably because "Master" was upgraded to "Master". An Xu thought it was weird to call him that, and tried to make the other party change his mind, but failed, Flora's face collapsed when she heard her say this, as if the world would be destroyed because of this inappropriate name.

"But, you're not my knight, are you?" An Xu looked at Laurien below and said.

"I used to be a member of the Knights of Glory, but I don't want to join forces with the rebels." Laurien made a beautiful aristocratic salute, "Now the Knights of Glory are in name only due to the crime of the sinner Ronald, I implore the Earl to rebuild The glory of the Knights, and recommend yourself as your first knight. At this moment of chaos on the frontier, my family and the people of Urburg will definitely be very excited for your righteous deed."

"No." An Xu said.

Laureen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that his extravagant narration didn't impress the other party. Earl Anna was clearly fascinated just now. He still wanted to speak, but the other party raised a hand to stop him.

"Where were you when Derek 'entertained' me?" An Xu asked.

"I ran around to avoid the persecution of the rebel party, and I couldn't come back to wish you a helping hand. It's really heartbreaking!" Lauris said sincerely.

"Actually, there is no need to answer. You have already said it just now." An Xu said, "I was just asking rhetorical questions. Do you understand the rhetorical questions? Run. We took care of them, and when we were almost taken care of by the bad weather here, you were absent because of blah blah blah. I was short of manpower, and you still didn't come out when I was recruiting everywhere. Now, when I want to use this piece It’s gone, you ran out and said it’s yours. Let me ask you, what’s the use of you?”

"I'm from the Huggins family." Laurian smiled a little stiffly, "If you've heard of my family..."

"I heard it, today, just now." An Xu curled his lips, "I'm still from the Sullivan family, do I tell everyone I meet? I'm still the successor of communism, am I proud? Rich Give money, some people give people, you seem to be unwilling to pay on both sides, what is the use of you? Is it for appearance? Sorry, I really don't lack people to this extent."

"You, you can't treat the sincere people who want to serve you so harshly! Besides me, there are many colleagues who are waiting for my reply. Don't you care about all the knights?" Laurian asked urgently .

"I'm not targeting you." An Xu glanced at him slowly, and said, "I'm talking about bullying the weak and fearing the strong, chasing profit and avoiding disaster with you, all of which are rubbish."

Knight Laurien choked on this unceremonious remark.

"As for the knight," Anxu stood up, walked over to wrap his arms around Chris, "I wish I had Chris. Flora, see off."

"Are you kidding me? Are you going to let such a person be your first knight?!" Laurien shouted in shock, "He is an omega! The gangster of sinners!"

"I'm willing, what's the matter?" An Xu gave Laurian a sideways look, and was too lazy to waste any more time with him. She looked at Flora and signaled the head maid to see off the guests quickly, but she met a pair of equally shocked eyes.

Except for An Xu himself, the three people in the room all looked at her in shock.

What is the first knight? He is the lord's right-hand man, the front man, the most trusted person, and the head of the lord's knights—for the special situation of the Glory Knights, where the lord is the head, he serves as the deputy head. In short, the weight is very important, at least the reputation is very very heavy.

Continuing with the Knights of Glory as an example, Prince Ronald took the scapegoat Chris and the favored branch leader Olina to Urburg, but instead stationed at the Bungalow line of defense, opened the teleportation array here, and drove away the strange beasts. The important task of going to the royal capital was handed over to Heidi, his first knight and deputy head of the Knights of Glory. This man is still at large and is wanted by Urburg with a standard second only to Ronald himself.

Letting a guilty omega be the first knight surpassed the nonsense of "recruitment orders" and begging the king for treasonous omega, and it was almost an insult to all the knights of Amenan.
