I Made Scientific Magic Chapter 521

  Chapter 521 Locking guests in cages is exactly the custom of this world!

  Lin En's proposal was passed without any surprise, and the following proposals quickly changed from war preparations to discussions on internal politics.

  Now, more than four-fifths of the empire's territory has been controlled by them.

  If it wasn't for following the orders of a certain magic star to attack a city and clean up a city, the speed would be faster.

  However, the benefits of doing so were quickly reflected in the law and order. There were almost no large-scale rebellions in the imperial cities captured by them.

   This is also due to the fact that Ella sacrificed countless bishops and devout believers in one breath during the Battle of the Holy City. In a sense, it also cleared the obstacles to their rule.

   "Do we have enough food reserves?" Lynn turned to the congressman in charge of food production and asked the most important question.

  As long as there is enough food in hand, there will be no big troubles in the city captured by the kingdom!

   "The remaining food reserves can probably last for about three or four months." Councilor Tisha said with a headache. "If you want to build factories in those occupied imperial cities and implement the same food rationing system, there will be far from enough food."

  The food consumed by the people of the kingdom is more than twice that of the poor in the empire. After all, the white bread is not mixed with sawdust and grass.

  Although they had long expected that there would be a shortage of food after regaining the empire, they started stockpiling ahead of time, but the population of 20 million in the empire is 20 million mouths, which is not so easy to feed.

  The food reserves they prepared are simply not enough. Even if all the elemental wizards in the council perform bread-making skills, it will be difficult to fill such a gap, unless the council is willing to use precious nuclear fuel reserves to make food.

   "How come there are only so few? There shouldn't be such a shortage of food in the empire, right?" Vittorio frowned involuntarily.

"That's true, but when those damned church remnants and nobles left the city, they burned all the food and equipment that they couldn't take away, and some people even set fire to the city to stop our pursuit..." Member Tisha said helplessly.

   "Have these **** been caught? They must be severely punished, their bodies hung at the gate of the city, and their souls imprisoned and tortured..." The irritable Arad immediately couldn't bear it anymore, and roared loudly.

  He thinks that the strategies of the previous parliament must have been too gentle. If he knew that confronting them would experience a criminal law ten thousand times more terrifying than death, no one would dare to do such a bad thing.

   "Not yet, but these people probably won't be able to escape for long." Councilor Tisha shook her head and said, and all the food was burned, even if they were all arrested, it would not be able to make up for the loss.

   "It seems that pioneering is going to be stepped up..." Lynn pondered and asked someone to take a special large map, and directly circled an area of ​​200,000 square kilometers around a big river in the central plain of the empire.

  This large area is fertile, and it was originally the granary of the empire. Half of it is under the direct control of the imperial royal family, and the other half is the territory of a powerful grand duke. Of course, it is all owned by the parliament now.

  Lin En intends to turn this area into a dedicated farming area, integrating all the small cultivated land, and implementing magical planting and harvesting.

   If done well, this area alone can solve the food problem of the entire empire!

   "It's best to try to complete it before this year's autumn planting, so that after a few months, when this batch of wheat matures, the food problem will be completely solved!" Lynn said encouragingly.

   "It's too big..." Congressman Tisha looked at the big circle drawn by Lynn, and his scalp felt a little numb.

  The entire empire covers an area of ​​less than 7 million square kilometers including the barren northern territory. Now it is impossible to transform 200,000 square kilometers at once, which is simply a fantasy!

  Not to mention this year, in his opinion, it would be good to catch up with next year's autumn planting, or even the next spring planting!

   "It just looks big. As long as the planning is done well, it may not be impossible to start construction in multiple areas at the same time. You underestimate the power of machinery and magic." Lynn said with a smile.

  They don't need to use artificial land reclamation. A group of farmers holding hoes to reclaim wasteland is already a thing of the past. The agricultural tillage machines of the Kingdom Alchemy Research Institute have been developed to the third generation.

Not to mention the suggestion that a large number of armored vehicles were produced before the meeting. Now that the war situation of the empire does not need these things to go to the battlefield, it is completely possible to refit all the idle vehicles and pull the entire army to open up wasteland. By the way, train troops there. Several unsightly hills in the plain were flattened!

   "Send another 4,000 elemental wizards to help. After the wasteland is cleared, let them station there, protect this grain-producing land, and regularly cast magic to increase the fertility of the land..." Lynn said again.

   On this planet, wizards are the greatest productivity, especially when doing some delicate work, wizards with atomic-level manipulation capabilities are much easier to use than machines.

   In this way, it should be possible to barely complete the reclamation before the autumn planting—even if only half of the goal can be completed in the end, the wheat produced will be enough to alleviate the problem of food shortage.

  As for the last few months, we can only consider collecting some emergency food from the merchants first. Anyway, the establishment of workshops in various cities must not stop.

  They must quickly promote reforms, so that the subjects of the empire can get rid of the inefficient and old production methods in the past, so that they can take advantage of the huge population.

   However, Lynn thought very well, but was rejected by Vittorio. "Four thousand wizards are too many, and other places need manpower. The council can only send 1,500 people there at most!"

  Although there are as many as 20,000 official wizards in the parliament now, the problem is that people are needed everywhere now!

   First of all, the newly occupied cities in the empire need powerful wizards who are proficient in management to be stationed, and cooperate with the local affairs officers to stabilize the situation.

  Secondly, many alchemy workshops require formal wizards as senior workers in order to produce some precise parts.

  Finally, there are many wizards in various schools who are engaged in magic research. It is impossible for them to force these people to put down their work and go to reclaim the land.

"Then replace it with 1,500 formal wizards and 3,500 apprentice wizards with a school age of more than ten years." Lin En had to settle for the next best thing. These apprentice wizards with rich spellcasting experience only need to get the magic net With the blessing of computing power, it can also be used as an official wizard.

   "By the way, I remember that the church has a divine spell called Rain of Grace, which can make plants grow quickly. Why don't we copy it and improve it!" Lynn suddenly thought of this.

  Although the clergy of the church have a limited level of education, they have developed a lot of interesting magical arts through hundreds of years of accumulation, and the rain of grace is one of them!

  After half a day of discussion and improvement by members of the House of Representatives, the first half-year plan of the Magic Kingdom is officially released!

   In the final analysis, it is eight words, stabilize internal affairs, prepare for war!

  I just hope that the so-called lord of the dead can discover the gate of time and space later and give them more time to prepare.

  Lin En thought that after returning, maybe he could ask the crow again to see if he could get some new information.

After today's meeting ended, Lynn returned to the manor in the capital without stopping, and then opened part of the cage, changing from a completely sealed cage wall with no gaps to neatly arranged pillars shaped frame structure.

  However, at the moment when the shape of the cage changed, a stream of black light flew out of it immediately, trying to get out of the gap in the frame that was less than one centimeter long and wide!

  However, Lynn didn't guard against this. He built a force field magic on the outside of the cage. Compared with the cage on the bright side, this is the root of trapping the opponent.

  The black crow tried several times in a row, but when he found that he couldn't escape, he was so angry that he kept jumping in the cage, and all kinds of ugly shouts and curses resounded continuously.

"You stupid native, dare to offend the messenger of the great **** of life and creation, your soul will be enslaved by the Lord of the Dead, and your world will be turned into lifeless death because of your stupid actions prison…"

  Lin En didn't mean to refute, just leaning on the chair, the old **** listened to the curse of the crow comfortably.

  After the previous detention and verbal temptations, Lynn found that, apart from verbal threats, the crow seemed to have nothing to do with them.

   Lynn thinks there may be three reasons.

  First, this universe is not completely connected to the so-called main world, so even if the other party is a god, he cannot kill and punish himself across the world.

  The second is that the domain of gods connected to this universe is under the control of the Lord of the Necromancers. If the opponent wants to come over, he has to pass through there and pass the Lord of the Necromancers. This may lead to an early battle of the gods!

  Third, this crow is not as important as it says it is. It is just an ordinary messenger, and being offended a little bit is not enough to offend the **** of life and creation.

Lin En's mind was full of thoughts, and he waited for more than an hour, until the angry crow had enough scolding, tired of cursing, and completely stopped, and the sharp crowing could no longer be heard in his ears. En just realized belatedly, and said with a smile.

   "Actually, we have no malicious intentions, Great Messenger of the Stars. On the contrary, we are very grateful for the news you brought."

  The black crow looked at the cage that locked him with a strange expression, and glared angrily at Lin En outside the cage.

   Is that how you thank you?

   Lynn shrugged and continued. "As ignorant natives, we know very little about the world of gods and lords you speak of, and we cannot confirm the authenticity of this news at the moment, so we invite the great star messenger to stay in the residence we specially made for you."

   "In addition, this is not an offense or a prison, but a... well, a rather special custom!" Lynn looked at the cage he made and said very sincerely. "Yes, in fact, it is the custom of our world to put crows in cages!"

  The black crow rolled its eyes in an extremely humane manner. It was obviously not that easy to fool, but it was really tired of scolding and didn't even want to talk.

  Lin En smiled, skipped the topic directly, and asked instead. "Great Messenger of the Stars, you came to our world with a mission, right?"

  The black crow held its head proudly, not bothering to reply to Lynn's words.

"I think this task should be related to dealing with the Lord of the Necrons. That is to say, our goals are actually the same, and we can cooperate completely." Lin En said solemnly. This is also the attitude of the council, which can cooperate but not accept single aspects of command.

   "Cooperation?" The black crow seemed to have heard the funniest thing in the world, and said contemptuously. "The power and greatness of God are beyond your comprehension!"

   Only the existence of the same level can talk about the word cooperation.

  Lin En didn't care about the black crow's belittling, but admitted it. "Please also forgive the limited vision of us natives. I want to know, can God completely destroy a world?"

  The black crow paused, then quacked. "It's not uncommon for a plane to collapse in previous battles of gods."

  Lin En was a little surprised. Capturing a world and destroying a world are two completely different concepts. His evaluation of God in his heart couldn't help but rise to another level.

  Neither they nor Ella, who has obtained the godhead, has the ability to completely destroy a planet.

   I just don't know if this plane is the same as a planet, so it shouldn't be a universe, right?

   "How did you find our world?" Lynn pondered and asked the second question.

According to the words of this crow, the Lord of the Necromancers who controls the God Realm on the opposite side should not have found any time and space gates, otherwise they would have invaded long ago, but the God of Life and Creation was able to send an envoy to give them a warning first. .

   This is also the reason why Lynn has always been suspicious of this star messenger.

   "The God of life and creation is great, He knows everything and knows everything!" The black crow said arrogantly.

   Omniscient? Know everything?

  Lin En has deep doubts about these words, because the Lord of the Dead, who is also a god, obviously does not have such ability.

  If the gap between the two gods is very large and there is a lot of contradictions, then the Lord of the Necromancer will most likely cease to exist long ago, unless it is a special ability similar to prophecy.

  Lin En was thinking about it when there was a light knock on the door.

   "Sir, Ms. Ivana said that she has something important to ask to see you. She also brought a prisoner, probably a knight of God's Punishment Army."

  Lin En glanced at the crow in the cage, and after thinking about it, he didn't mean to imprison it again, and said directly. "Let her in."
