Facing Windsor, who was wearing white silk stockings from a maid, Zhang Feng suddenly took a few more glances at her.
"Master...what's wrong?"
Windsor touched the corner of his mouth somewhat unnaturally, and found no crumbs from the biscuits he had just eaten.
"Ahem, it's okay!"
Zhang Feng coughed dryly. The appearance of the real cat-eared girl reminded him of the fake cat-eared girl last night. Fake is fake after all. Although it is generally comfortable, the feeling is still different...
Zhang Feng quickly shook his head to get rid of the strange thoughts in his mind. As a serious person, he shouldn't think about those indecent things.
"Well, I'll give you two candies."
Zhang Feng took out a few White Rabbit milk candies, which Lin Yulan bought yesterday. Zhang Feng grabbed a handful.
"OK!"
Windsor took it happily, tore open the wrapping paper, smelled the rich milky aroma, and immediately his mouth watered.
I put one in my mouth and immediately exclaimed that it was delicious.
Zhang Feng pinched Windsor's big ears.
Since he brought a lot of goods this time, it took Zhang Feng three days to bring them back, and Zhang Feng made some modifications. These devices need power, and he turned the energy source of these powers into mysterious crystals. This made it much more convenient.
And they were all placed in the Sunset Mountains, and the car was ready, just waiting for Shu Daqiang to pull it.
As for the instruction manual, Zhang Feng has already translated it, but if you want to learn it, it will probably take some time even if Zhang Feng teaches you step by step.
Fortunately, the discovery of these oils was an unexpected surprise and did not conflict with Zhang Feng’s previous plans, so it didn’t matter if it was discovered a little later.
After Zhang Feng passed the message to Shu Daqiang, he immediately bought those oil fields.
Bennett was still a little puzzled as to why Shu Daqiang would buy these things that had no use other than burning, but after studying them for a long time, he still couldn't find any use for these black oils, so he happily sold them to Shu Daqiang at a very low price.
Since I don't know the effect anyway, I might as well do it a favor.
Moreover, these things that look disgusting at first glance probably don’t have much use. They can only be used as firewood, or maybe as fuel for steam cars?
Thinking about it this way, Bennett felt it made sense.
Shu Daqiang actually didn’t quite understand what the “black oil” was used for, but since Zhang Feng attached great importance to it and asked him to go back and get the equipment, he knew that it was definitely a good thing.
Since King Bennett was willing to sell it so cheaply, he naturally wouldn't be polite. At worst, he could compensate Bennett privately later.
So, the two of them signed the contract happily.
When buying things in this world, except for the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, there are no contracts with a limited time limit. Basically, once you buy something, it is permanent. Soon, all the places in Danga where black oil appeared were bought by Shu Daqiang, and they had permanent ownership.
Of course, this is on the territory of Danga. King Bennett of Danga can tear up the contract at will, but before that, he has to consider carefully whether Danga can withstand the wrath of a "super power".
After acquiring these oil fields, Shu Daqiang took his men away. Not long after, Bennett discovered that many huge steam cars had followed Shu Daqiang. Each car was loaded with things, but they were all wrapped in cloth, so it was unknown what they were.
Not to mention the things in the cars, just these cars alone made Bennett drool, but Shu Daqiang made it clear that these cars were not for sale. If he really wanted them, he would contact him first when new cars came out.
Bennett was attracted by the transport capacity of these vehicles. Although he had bought a car from Shu Daqiang before, it was a small one, only enough for his daily use, and not enough to transport soldiers.
But if it is replaced with a large car like this, it will definitely be much more convenient.
Just imagine, on the battlefield, if they could quickly and accurately send a group of spirited orc troops, like a surprise attack from the sky, this would definitely determine the outcome of the battle.
So, even if these cars are more expensive, Bennett wants to get them.
It’s just a pity that if these cars didn’t use mysterious crystals as energy, Shu Daqiang might have sold them.
Currently, only Hongye City has the mysterious crystal energy technology. This is a technological advancement, and without the emergence of new technology, this kind of thing will never be sold outside.
Although Bennett was rejected, he left and looked at the carts curiously. He didn't know what was inside.
Soon, unloading began.
Although there were many things Bennett didn't recognize, there were also quite a few things he knew. When he saw those things, he immediately showed joy.
These are food, weapons, armor and so on.
He bought these supplies from the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce with a loan.
"This axe is powerful enough!"
Bennett picked up an axe at random and swung it at the side. With a bang, a big hole was directly smashed in the wall next to it. But the axe was intact.
The orc guards following Bennett showed joy on their faces. They would definitely be the first to be equipped with these advanced weapons.
"By the way, what is the material of this weapon called?"
Bennett asked curiously. Shu Daqiang had mentioned it once before, but he had forgotten it. He only remembered that this was not ordinary iron.
"This is called steel. Simply put, it is much stronger than iron. By the way, after our president heard about His Majesty the King, he asked me to send him several sets of stainless steel armor and weapons as a gift to His Majesty."
Shu Daqiang waved his hand, and soon two orcs came over carrying several boxes.
After opening it, the bright light inside almost blinded Bennett's eyes.
"Thank you, President Hongye... What is this?"
“These are stainless steel equipment.”
Bennett couldn't let go of the shiny machete that almost reflected his face.
This is not a weapon, it is simply a work of art! The guards beside him were excited, but also a little embarrassed, because the iron tools they were proud of in their hands were simply a world apart from this stainless steel, there was no comparison! Seeing the shock of Bennett and the others, Shu Daqiang did not laugh at them, but was very moved. When he first saw these things, he was not much different from Bennett and the others.
Because orcs are very strong, these ordinary steel and stainless steel armors are ten millimeters thick, which are stronger than the three to five millimeters thick ones worn by human knights.
Don't think that ten millimeters sounds very thin. In terms of steel, it is not thin at all. Especially when worn on the body, most people probably can't walk. Needless to say, the defensive power is extremely strong.
Wearing these armors, even the orcs' bows and arrows cannot penetrate them.
The more Bennett looked at it, the more delighted he was. This was completely beyond his expectations. He hadn't expected that the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce would give them such powerful things!
Bennett ordered that except for these sets of stainless steel armor and weapons, all others should be taken away and equipped to the soldiers. Although the entire army cannot be equipped due to limited funds, even a small part of them can greatly enhance the combat effectiveness of Danga!
Bennett only hated himself for being too poor, otherwise he would definitely take out all his gold coins to arm the army.
With these weapons and equipment, why worry about not being able to compete for a place? Should I borrow some more money? At worst, I can mortgage some land...
Bennett thought silently.
Shu Daqiang naturally had no idea what he was thinking. After handing over the equipment and food, Shu Daqiang commanded the vehicles to come to the new city.
This time Bennett didn't catch up. He was anxious to check how much the orcs' strength could be improved with the new equipment. If the improvement was really strong, he didn't mind using blood to sharpen the weapon! Without Bennett's interruption, Shu Daqiang was more at ease and quickly got the oil extraction equipment down, but how to assemble it was a technical job.
Although there were instructions given by Zhang Feng, it was still a big project for Shu Daqiang.
"It would be nice if the adults were here..."
Looking at the densely packed instruction manual, Shu Daqiang sighed with a tingling sensation on his scalp, but he was extremely smart, and with someone helping him, it was only a matter of time before he could complete the assembly.
Shu Daqiang had many guesses in his mind as to why Lord Zhang Feng didn't come. He thought the biggest possibility was that Lord Zhang Feng was planning and preparing something and couldn't leave for the time being.
These "small matters" could only be handled by himself, but he didn't know that Zhang Feng didn't come simply because he was afraid of death - no, it should be said that it was for the sake of safety. Without a 99.7% certainty, Zhang Feng never took risks easily.
Before he completely controls Danga City, Zhang Feng will never come to the Orc Continent! ...
Time passes quietly.
A month later, when Shu Daqiang wiped his face, a black oil stain suddenly appeared.
But he didn't mind at all, instead he looked happy.
After so much hard work, he finally got the equipment ready.
When Shu Daqiang saw the big drill bit drilling down and oil spraying high, he smiled with relief.
Although it took a long time, it did not disappoint Lord Zhang Feng's expectations.
During this period, after getting to know Zhang Feng, Shu Daqiang already knew the uses of these oil fields. These can be said to be comparable to gold, and he absolutely cannot let Zhang Feng down.
However, although petroleum has many uses, it also requires a lot of equipment and technology. Zhang Feng has not brought many of these things with him for the time being, so he can only make some fuel with not very high purity.
But this is already very good. When we imitate the alien version of the internal combustion engine - no, when it is developed, these fuels will become important strategic resources.
And now, Zhang Feng is ready to increase the export of automobiles to the Orc Continent and even the Buck Kingdom.
Those old steam cars should be gradually phased out and can leave the market. By the time the steam cars are almost sold out, the internal combustion engines will probably be almost sold out as well, and that will be the start of a new round of upgrades.
Red Leaf City.
It is said that Lord Zhang Feng sympathized with the people. After seeing that so many people liked steam cars, he waved his hand, started a big price reduction on steam cars, and began mass production.
Lord Zhang Feng’s ideal is to allow every family in Buck Country to have a car of their own!
This news spread throughout the Buck Kingdom like the wind.
Nowadays, steam cars are no longer a novelty and many people have seen them, especially steam locomotives, which many people have ridden in person.
But since it can only be produced in Hongye City, there is only one company doing it. In addition, the price is too high and the output is low, so there are not many privately owned ones.
Now that the price has been reduced and production has been increased, those people with a little wealth are very excited. They finally have the opportunity to buy a steam car of their own!
This time, Zhang Feng was not playing word games when he reduced the price. He really reduced the price by 50% or even 10%! Zhang Feng's confidence came from the industrialized Far North.
There are many factories throughout the Far North that are capable of producing large quantities of steam cars.
Of course, these steam cars with reduced prices are ordinary models, not luxurious at all, just for transportation. The high-end cars have not been reduced in price.
After all, rich people don't lack that money, so lowering the price would be humiliating them.
Zhang Feng knows how to respect others, so he even had the thought of raising the price.
At the same time, Shu Daqiang also received news from Zhang Feng.
"Are we going to officially start exporting steam cars? That's perfect. That guy Bennett must have been envious of it!"
Shu Daqiang came to the palace of King Danga, but learned that the king was out.
This is a bit strange. This is the first time that Shu Daqiang has seen King Bennett go out since he came here.
He wanted to leave and talk about it next time, but as soon as he left the city, he met the returning King Bennett and his army.
Looking at the blood-stained steel armor of the soldiers in the front row of the army, and the mountains of spoils behind them, Shu Daqiang seemed to understand something.
"Mr. Rat!"
Bennett, wearing a shiny and exquisite stainless steel armor, looked very happy to see Shu Daqiang.
The two men exchanged pleasantries for a while, and King Bennett did not hide anything. Through their conversation, Shu Daqiang learned the whole story.
To put it simply, after King Bennett received funding from the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce, he felt it necessary to train his army. After a month of preparation and recuperation, Bennett personally led his army to launch a surprise attack on the neighboring country.
At that time, Bennett really just wanted to practice his skills, but after the sneak attack, he soon discovered that the other side was simply weaker! Not only was there a gap in equipment, but also in physical fitness.
After a month of recuperation, they are at a completely different level than they were a month ago.
On one side is the orc army that has been well-rested and equipped with new equipment, and on the other side is the orc army that is hungry and still holding stone axes. How can they be compared!
So, after Bennett discovered the opponent's weakness, he crushed them all the way to their palace! In three days, this neighboring country was destroyed! Although this country is small, not as big as Danga, and its strength is not too strong, Danga might have been destroyed in the past, but it would have required a huge price, not as easy as it is now?
This made Bennett even more certain to cling to the mysterious power of the Red Leaf Chamber of Commerce! Hearing Shu Daqiang say that the mysterious Chamber of Commerce was interested in selling a large number of steam cars, including private cars and large cars that could pull the army!
Bennett's eyes lit up.
He must buy these cars! If they had those big cars, the mobility of their orc army would be improved by several levels, which would undoubtedly give them an overwhelming advantage in fighting others.
Because when orcs fight, they rely entirely on their feet to move, and horses cannot carry them at all, unless they have some special mounts, but those are only available in big countries, or even the Sirius Empire. Ordinary countries don't even have to think about it.
Movement speed can sometimes determine the outcome of a war!
Shu Daqiang saw the ambition in Bennett's eyes and smiled slightly.
