Chapter 999 Snow

For a long time, Cecil and Typhon have taken different technical routes - the former has opened up a new magical technology route, while the latter is advancing the potential and application of superhumans to a higher level. In the short term, See, the advantages of the two are still indistinguishable, and Gao Wen never thought that there would be a day when these two technical routes would intersect.

It's a pity that making a fuss about the talents of the extraordinary, trying to select "weak talents" from ordinary people, and using potions, rituals, and training to catalyze them into narrow but genuine extraordinary people, this has always been the case. Typhon's expertise, Cecil's research in this area is zero.

The Eternal Sleeper Religion has always been active in Typhon, so when faced with the dilemma of the lack of suitable personnel for psionic singers, Wendy immediately thought of Typhon's alchemy potion and catalytic technology, but when it comes to these technologies The real details...obviously she couldn't possibly know.

"These things are military secrets. The medicine is in the hands of the Typhon royal family and several major military aristocrats. The specific catalytic technology is the same, and even if these things are mastered, there must be matching training methods, otherwise it is very easy for testers. Dangerous," Yuri came from a Typhon noble family, although he had already left the aristocratic circle when Typhon's mass-produced Transcendent technology matured, but after all, he had connections, and he obviously knew some internal information better than Wendy's. , "I don't think we'll be able to get this information any time soon..."

Gawain's expression became serious, he rubbed his chin, while Heidi next to him said softly, "What do you think about the twenty-fifth..."

Gawain thought for a while, then slowly shook his head.

He did think of Daniel, who had broken into the top of Typhon, for the first time. As the most successful spy in the current Cecil espionage system, Daniel is indeed qualified to access many unimaginable secrets, but it is precisely because of this that he can The inquired news will also have a strong territorial nature and will bear a higher risk of exposure. The fields that Daniel can currently relate to are basically under the name of Typhon's "Imperial Workers' Association". In addition, at most, he relies on personal connections to inquire about gossip topics between some upper-level nobles and mages and scholars. From a normal logic , he is unlikely to have access to mass-produced extraordinary technologies that have nothing to do with his research field.

Of course, you can also take some risks and let Daniel steal information in this area, but Gawain believes that the hidden dangers of doing so are too great - Typhon's rogue agent is not an idiot, and that Rosetta Augustus is even more A cautious person, with the tension in Aldernan recently, there have been many spies working for Cecil, and even the liaison officer who "Track" planned to enter was captured by the Typhon authorities, and Amber even had to cut off the number of them. Under such a tense situation, Gawain couldn't let an irreplaceable spy like Daniel risk his life to steal a formula.

In thinking, Hetty suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I think of a person..."

"You mean our 'guest' who is visiting Solimburg?" Gawain raised his eyebrows, "I don't think she is willing to cooperate with us on this kind of thing.

Surrendering for righteousness and betraying a country are two different concepts. "

"...Or her father?" Heidi thought again, "Bud was once..."

"Please allow me to interject," Yuri said on the side, "First of all, the Wendell family is indeed the most important military aristocrat in Typhon, and its family leader and heir must have access to this part of the secret, but I don't think Pakistan De Neng can help - he left Typhon more than ten years ago, at a time when the technology for mass-producing Transcendents was far from mature. For many years to come, Bud was imprisoned by the death of all things. In the biochemical laboratory, he should not have the opportunity to access this information..."

"Let's discuss this matter later," Gawain pondered briefly and shook his head, "this topic is too far away—we should focus more on the normal research line. Hetty, you can try to arrange for someone to contact you. Let’s take a look at the Wendells, but be careful not to cause adverse effects. Before that, Wendy and Yuri, you still follow the previous plan, select some matchers from the mages for training. During the war, our mental protection unit It must be put into use as soon as possible, even if only a small amount of elites can be invested, it can improve the survival rate of frontline soldiers."

After arranging things properly, Gawain didn't stay in the laboratory too much-before the evening, he was going to preside over a meeting of consuls.

After leaving the research facility, Gawain and Hetty were walking on the way to the parking lot. A gust of cold wind blew, causing Hetty, who had not turned on the breeze shield, to shrink his neck subconsciously.

Gao Wen raised his head and saw that the sky had darkened for some time. The thick lead-colored clouds covered the earth, and the turbulent cold wind was flowing through the clouds. Between the air currents, some crystal clear snowflakes fluttered. Slopingly spilled down.

"It's snowing..." Heidi also raised her head, the snowflakes falling from the sky were reflected in her bright eyes, she stretched out her hand, a snowflake touched her fingertips, but it turned into a drop of water within a few seconds, " The first snow in the south of the year came really late..."

"It snowed on the Holy Spirit Plain last week," Gawain said. "The Bureau of Astronomical Research has compared the patterns of rain, snow and temperature changes over the years and believes that this year may have a cold winter... than every one in the past two decades. It will be cold in winter."

"The textile trade with Typhon has been suspended due to the impact of the war, at least until the war is over, it is impossible for us to get cheap textiles from the East," Hetty said earnestly, "Thanks to our large purchases last year and the western plains The cotton spinning production that has always been maintained has accumulated enough stocks, and there is no need to worry about the supply of cotton clothing this winter. Of course, if the war continues like this, we have to consider expanding the scale of cotton spinning production - this year's baby boom has brought a lot of A new population, which requires additional supplies of textiles, medicines and food. The Department of Agriculture is already making plans for this.”

"...Is the impact starting to show... The Typhons shouldn't get much better this winter. Many of their railway lines are still unable to operate independently, and a large number of factories are waiting for our finished parts," Gawain shook his head, " This will be a test of the new international rules and the first test of the two settlement areas. The Typhons will definitely find a way to maintain their market in the southern part of the continent, and our trade with the western part of the continent must continue as usual. News of the war should have spread across the world by this time, and steady, business-as-usual trade could boost the confidence of our allies—and ease our pressure.”

Heidi lowered his head: "I understand, ancestor."

...

When the first snow of this winter fluttered and fell in Cecil City, another snow came to Aldernan, a distant country sooner or later.

Compared with Cecil City, which is more northerly, the snow in Aldernan seems to be gentler, with scattered snowflakes falling on the ground in the gloomy sky and thin mist, with an unpleasant feeling. With a quick temper, it took a long time to spread a thin layer of white on the wet city floor.

Ferdinand Wendell walked out of the porch and stood in the snow in the courtyard, looking at the luxurious courtyard, which was elegant but extraordinarily empty and deserted. His servants and maids were not far away, but he felt that there were only All alone.

A year ago, Andersa stood here to watch a snowfall with him. More than ten years ago, he had Bud and his daughter-in-law, who was not dead at the time, beside him. Twenty years ago, there was a swing frame not far away. Next, next to the beautiful fountain, sat his always-smiling wife—and this year, he was alone.

There was a bone-piercing cold wind blowing, and Pei Dinan felt that his arms and knees had been penetrated by the cold wind. He finally couldn't help but prop up the breath protection barrier, blocking the cold wind from the north, and dispelling the body and the surrounding. Snowflakes fluttering, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly in the wind - no matter how terrifying the general wolf, he will eventually grow old one day, but when he was young, he never thought that he would grow old. So lonely standing in the courtyard in the wind and snow.

Andersa, who is far away from Cecil, should be okay... Cecil should not be so harsh on a general who took the initiative to put down his weapon. In such a cold winter, is there anyone with her?

A voice came from the side, interrupting Pei Dinan's thoughts: "Sir, the wind is getting stronger, you should go back to the house to rest."

Pei Dinan turned his head following the sound, and saw that the housekeeper who had accompanied him for many years was standing in the snow. A lot of snow had fallen on his shoulders, but he was still standing straight in the wind, meticulously like a sculpture.

The time for sympathy was over, and Ferdinand's expression became serious again, and he became the formidable knight-lord again, nodded with dignity, turned and walked towards the porch, while the butler raised accurately after half a step behind. His legs followed, and at the same time, he quietly brushed off the snowflakes on his shoulders.

"Did you send your servant to the market in the morning," Pedinan asked casually under the porch, "How is the order over there?"

"Prices have stabilized, and people's panic has improved a lot," the housekeeper replied immediately. "People are still a little nervous, but it's no longer the kind of dazed fear -- they're more worried about the price of food. It won't go up again, and I care when this war will end."

"How many people are talking about church?"

"There are discussions everywhere, but it is rare to see people who question the Knights of the Protectorate or the Obsidian Custodians, or those who support the church in a big way - at least not in public," the steward continued. "Those who are openly evil spirits The purification ceremony, detailed reports and live pictures of the polluted altars and rooms in the church have a great deterrent effect on ordinary people. Even devout believers will say that evil spirits have defiled the church at this time, and no longer insist on it. The Church of God of War is clean and flawless..."

Pei Dinan nodded slightly, the serious expression on his face seemed to relax slightly.

The atmosphere in the city is improving - although some people in the nobles are now restless every day, some speculators are uneasy, and there is a little more tension in the upper class, but the overall order in Aldenan. But it has stabilized quickly and miraculously, and the operation of various key departments has also improved in a visible range.

The supply of key materials such as food and medicine has been stabilized, and several premeditated behaviors to drive up prices and withhold materials have been suppressed by force. The Knights have already suppressed and dismantled all rebellions - in fact, as early as a month ago, the Mars Churches all over the country had been closely monitored by the army loyal to the royal family, although some of the army unexpectedly lost control, but the overall Everything above is still not out of the control of Obsidian Palace.

It was once feared that the temporary closure of the Parliament would cause long-term and unquenchable chaos for the ruling order of the entire empire, but Rosetta Augustus and the royal cabinet and emergency advisors led by him were extremely efficient and resolute. The executive power of the company has proved everything to the world, and now, everything is starting to develop in a good direction.

At least for now.

The old duke pressed his chest subconsciously, and he touched a hard object the size of a pocket watch—there was a special amulet, the power of which was slowly flowing at the moment, infiltrating and protecting himself. The talisman gave him a sense of peace of mind, but it also made him understand that some things were far from over.

...

Since the beginning of the war, information from the front has been continuously transmitted through the communication towers scattered throughout the Empire, converging on Aldenan, and on the bookcase of Rosetta Augustus.

The war itself may be something that many people do not want to see, but some of the "gains" brought about by the war are also real, and for the rulers of the empire, the biggest gain is intelligence - about the enemy. information, and information about yourself.

Rosetta's eyes moved slowly over a document, and Matilda stood quietly beside him.

In this document, many details related to the "Magic Mechanized Troops" of the Cecils are mentioned, including those various war machines that can operate automatically, the equipment and combat methods of the Cecil infantry, the enemy's Tactical thinking, macro layout speculation, including reports and summaries of Typhon's own army.

Every life on the battlefield has become an experience and reflection on these thin sheets of paper - whether it is for Cecil or Typhon, this is the first time in history that an equal opponent and himself have appeared. Fight this broad and deep confrontation on a frontal battlefield.

Both sides of the war were learning from experience, and Rosetta looked at the information in his hand, and he believed that there must be something similar in Gawain Cecil's book.

"Your previous judgment was correct, Matilda." After a long time, Rosetta raised her eyes and looked at the eldest daughter beside her, "We must further introduce magic technology into the military field, and only let It's not enough for soldiers to get on a mage vehicle or use a factory to produce some weapons. The Cecils have a huge war potential - and while they're at a standoff with us now, they've grown over time. Sooner or later, it will surpass us, and the gap between them is on the one hand, magic technology, and on the other hand, their way of thinking."

"Andersa once told me that she's been worried that we and the Cecilians are in constant war - their war machines have short production cycles, their soldiers train quickly, and they can afford to lose everything, and our Legion of Transcendents Although it has improved a lot compared to the traditional army, it still cannot keep up with the speed of the Cecils in this area... It is very bad for us to fight for a long time."

"...time, so we need time," Rosetta said slowly, "hopefully we still have enough time."
