The other side.
Lin Ke was checking the information on the civilization panel.
“Without math, you can’t do anything.”
“Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is mathematics.”
"—Shakuntala, David."
This is the information in the civilization panel. Today is the day when the scientific and technological [mathematics] research is completed.
Of course, he had originally researched this technology in advance in order to unlock the three technologies of [Education], [Tactics], and [Buttress].
But coincidentally, today, after completing his research on [Mathematics], he knew which civilization and kingdom those "enemies" wandering around Holy Egypt came from.
Obviously, what he had to do now, in addition to providing support to Saladin, was to continue to find ways to provide naval power.
You know, the current Holy Egypt has almost no naval power.
It was only a matter of time before the Norse civilization used Viking longships to plunder the coastal cities of Holy Egypt.
After all, Lin Ke has already announced the declaration of war against Norway, and it won't be long before the other party immediately launches an attack on the coastal cities of Holy Egypt.
Obviously, the Holy Egyptian Alliance army, which is good at land combat, naturally finds it difficult to compete with such a civilization.
Lin Ke knew very well that Viking warriors were notorious sea monsters, and in the real world he lived in, it was simply a fantasy to want to cultivate sea warriors to fight against them.
The soldiers of Holy Egypt were no match for their opponents, and even the Amazons and well-equipped Atlantean warriors would probably find it difficult to confront them head-on.
Moreover, Viking warriors were flexible and powerful.
If Lin Ke had not discovered their whereabouts in advance and made preparations in advance, then what would have greeted Lin Ke would have been one plundered city after another.
At this moment, Lin Ke started to check the civilization panel again. He was going to check some information about Norwegian civilization.
"[Viking longship]."
“Norwegian unique naval unit that replaces the Galley.”
"Through coastal sweep capabilities, we can plunder enemy coastal land and capture nearby civilians."
"Can regenerate health in neutral territory. Movement is 4 while in coastal waters."
When Lin Ke saw this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
That's right.
[Viking longship] is very flexible. If Lin Ke doesn't respond in advance, he will be restricted everywhere.
Simply put, if we wait until the Vikings launch the first attack before taking action, it will be too late.
Lin Ke does not have any unit that can compare with the [Viking longship]. By the time his army arrives, his city will probably have been completely looted.
At that time, Lin Ke will face a city whose "loyalty" has been affected, which will bring about troubles one after another.
So, he must be prepared.
[Mathematics] can slightly improve the combat capability of the Holy Egyptian Navy.
"[Math]: Increase the attack power of all naval units by 1."
Afterwards, Lin Ke planned to start researching two other technologies, which could also enhance the naval combat capability of Holy Egypt.
The first one is [Astronomical Navigation].
"【Astronomical Navigation】: Allows merchants to board ships and harvest fish and crabs."
Of course, unlocking [Astronomical Navigation] is to unlock its subsequent technologies.
【lighthouse】.
[Lighthouse]: All naval units produced in this city gain 25% increased combat experience.
"Increase food production by 1 in all coastal tiles of this city."
"If this city is adjacent to the coast, add 2 housing points."
Simply put, the [Lighthouse] can increase food production and increase the population of Cairo.
As for the second technology, it is even more important than [Astronomical Navigation].
"【Shipbuilding】: Allows all land units to board ships."
Of course, after unlocking [Shipbuilding], Lin Ke can build [Four-section Warship].
"[Quadrille]: A ranged naval unit from the Classical period."
Before Lin Ke developed the art of cartography, that is, before he created maps, this type of sailboat could only be used near the coastline of Holy Egypt.
But this is completely sufficient for Holy Egypt. Although the value of this [Four-section Sailboat] in the civilization panel is lower than that of the [Viking Longship], it is a ranged unit.
[Viking Longship] is a melee unit with high attack power.
Therefore, as long as Lin Ke cooperates with the army units and then uses the [Four-Section Sailing Boat] to surround them, he can cause heavy damage to the enemy.
In the real world, although Lin Ke has no army or unit other than magicians and gods that can fight the Vikings head-on, as long as he uses the civilization panel, these powerful pirates will not be a threat.
Therefore, Lin Ke’s current plan is to develop maritime military power and then send reinforcements to the cities along the coastline.
Not only that, he also had to produce the [Four-Section Sailboat] as soon as possible and have it patrol near the coast to detect the enemy's traces in advance and respond in time.
He also had to send out [galleys] to explore the coastline and discover the movements of the enemy fleet in advance.
After operating on the civilization panel for a while, Lin Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, there's only one last thing left.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh! I am late!"
At this time, Nan Tong brought the livid-faced Arthas to the palace of Holy Egypt.
Arthas knelt on the ground and swallowed hard several times before he finally spoke steadily and made a sound.
"Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh."
"Since you urgently summoned me, I will ask Master Nantong to help..."
Having said this, Arthas paused.
He looked like he was about to vomit.
Lin Ke glanced at Nan Tong, who was still emitting a faint magical glow.
Obviously, it was Nan Tong who cast the flying magic and brought the other party here.
"Someone, help King Arthas up!"
Arthas was helped up by his servants and given some water, and then he showed some signs of improvement.
At this moment, Arthas's voice became much calmer.
"Your Majesty, the Holy Pharaoh, please do not blame Master Nan Tong. I begged Master Nan Tong to do this repeatedly."
"I talked so much to Master Nantong that I completely forgot to ask him about his purpose in coming to [Chihaishadu]. I wasted too much of his time."
"I wonder why His Majesty the Holy Pharaoh summoned me here?"
"If you need any help from Atlantis, Your Majesty the Holy Pharaoh, please feel free to ask."
Lin Ke nodded with satisfaction, and then he signaled Nan Tong to leave.
"Thank you for your hard work, Nan Tong."
"I'll trouble you to take care of Saul. Next, I have something to discuss with Arthas."
Upon hearing this, Nan Tong simply bowed slightly and then turned and left.
