Doomsday Code

Chapter 671 Another Star Tear

Of course, it is impossible to say that there are really no concerns. As Chen Cheng said, they have conducted simulations. If such weapons are really mass-produced, the pollution caused will be enormous.

The Moonlight Forest is where the roots of the World Tree are located. It is impossible for them to destroy the World Tree's habitat in order to arm themselves.

That's putting the cart before the horse.

Originally, they wanted to discuss this with Chen Cheng after he completed his training, but they didn't expect Chen Cheng to come and discuss it with them first, and even give them an option that sounded good.

"If that's what Your Majesty says, then isn't the Kingdom of Moss afraid of this... um, this kind of industrial pollution?"

Herlous asked with a half-smile.

But Chen Cheng smiled and said:

"It's not that they're not afraid, but their industrial park has a comprehensive pollution treatment system that can eliminate pollution to the greatest extent possible before the waste is released into the wild."

Of course, there was some bragging in what Chen Cheng said. The industrial park in Huidun City is just getting started. Most of the industries are handicrafts, and there are very few heavy industries.

Of course, the situation will change after he goes back this time.

Huidun is already the future king, and the future development of the Kingdom of Moss is bound to include industrialization.

This time, he completed a knowledge transaction with the elves, and could use the elves' natural magic to design a magic industrial assembly line and a waste degradation treatment plant.

After all, this natural magic is too gentle, and it is the best partner to achieve the combination of magic and industry.

And Herlous was naturally able to guess the general idea of the industrial park Chen Cheng was talking about based on what he had done in Moonlight Forest during this period.

It is a pipe dream to supply weapons like Luanniao-1 in large quantities in a short period of time.

Because he created Luanniao No. 1 with the help of Feisili and Sifit.

As for the pollutant treatment plant, that is even more nonsense.

But the fact that Chen Cheng could speak of this to his ally and subject with such confidence was enough to show that he was confident.

And since the elves have chosen to follow him, why not agree to it?

She also thought that if she could really promote the cooperation between the elves and the Kingdom of Moss, then this remote small country would have a backer in the future.

At the same time, the rare treasures they exchanged from the elves will also bring them huge wealth, and this wealth will most likely be used in Chen Cheng's future cause of restoring the country.

This was the political acumen Herlous possessed as a clan leader, so she stood up and agreed.

"Cooperation can be achieved, and this time we can send people to accompany Your Majesty back and truly open up this ancient road again.

We the elves can afford the initial repairs to the ancient road, but the tolls and tariffs collected from subsequent trade transactions on the ancient road will belong to us the elves.

Of course, we don't like gold coins. This toll will be used as equity in the Moss Kingdom's industrial park."

Melinda's words at this moment made Chen Cheng break out in a cold sweat. He really didn't expect Melos's business acumen to be so strong.

"All of these can be agreed to, but the maximum shareholding you can hold is 30%."

Chen Cheng thought for a while and gave his lowest price.

Herlous thought for a while, then said with a smile:

"Then a preliminary agreement has been reached. Congratulations! You have brought peace and wealth to your dear friend and his kingdom."

Although he had expected this, Chen Cheng still felt that he had suffered a great loss when he heard Melos' congratulations.

But there is no other way. If he really wants to continue what he has done in Huidun City, he must find a strong backer for Huidun.

Otherwise, once he ascends the throne and really wants to vigorously develop industry, the other kingdoms will not allow him to develop.

Furthermore, Chen Cheng's thoughts were just as Herlous had guessed. If he really wanted to restore his country in the future, then the Kingdom of Moss would definitely be his future base for restoration.

It was impossible for him to gather a group of people and then raise his arms to restore the country like his father and grandfather did.

Such actions will only bring endless war to the entire continent.

What he wanted to do was to develop new weapons that truly combined industry and magic, and then use absolute force to defeat the first invading army.

Later, a modern decapitation operation directly seized the supreme power and completed the restoration of the country.

All that had been done before was to accumulate technology, and now with the natural magic of the elves, the combination of magic and technology can already see the dawn.

After he returns this time, he will have a lot to do.

Some of the things that were sealed in his mind would also be taken out.

In order to buy enough time for the Kingdom of Moss to develop, Chen Cheng will selectively consider whether to reveal his identity.

Of course, these are just Chen Cheng’s ideas about future development. As to whether it will really come to this, it is still uncertain.

After reaching a preliminary verbal agreement with Herlous, Huidun had to negotiate the final agreement with the elves himself.

Of course, Chen Cheng also believed that Huidun would agree to this request because he was not a fool.

"Elder, I have almost finished my business in Moonlight Forest. There is one more thing. The Black Dragon King pulled me aside and asked me to ask if he could release his men. What do you think about this matter?"

After hearing this, Herlous smiled and said:

"Of course there is no problem. As long as the Black Dragon King wants to leave, his servants can naturally leave with him."

"And Chikuwa and the others..."

"They are all the same, except that they know your Majesty's identity. I wonder if your Majesty will require them to sign a confidentiality agreement when they leave."

Herlous answered first.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said:

"Let me decide the content of this contract."

"Then Your Majesty is preparing to leave Moonlight Forest?"

Herlous asked again.

Chen Cheng pointed at his head and said with a wry smile:

"What do you think, Elder?"

After hearing this, Melinda took out a pendant from the space ring on her finger. The style of this pendant was very similar to the family heirloom Star Tear that Baron Keckber gave to Finier.

"This is the Goddess's Tear, one of the two tears shed by the Moon Goddess when she came to our world. One of them was given away years ago, and this is the last one.

Wearing it can help calm the mind and increase spiritual power."

"After Your Majesty leaves the Moonlight Forest, without the Tree God's divine power to suppress it, the pollution will soon find Your Majesty. If Your Majesty cannot resolve it in a short period of time, you can activate the power of this teardrop to protect your spirit from being polluted.

But Your Majesty must also know that excessive use of such artifacts has a price, especially artifacts that are related to the spirit. If used too much, there is a risk of contamination.

Therefore, Your Majesty should exercise caution when using it until the very last moment."
