Doomsday Code

Chapter 759 Competition

Chen Cheng nodded and added:

“Another point is that the empire is not as bad as ordinary people imagine.

During the imperial period, because the cultivation of successive emperors was linked to the rule of the empire, the interests between the two were mutual, so there was a demigod temple to intimidate major forces, and the Council of Administration to suppress the various kingdoms and their officials and nobles.

After the collapse of the empire and the loss of suppression, the true nature of these corrupt guys was exposed.

It can be said that they have dug a hole for themselves, and all we need to do is give it a little push, and then someone will bury them.”

Chen Cheng said this and made a gentle pushing gesture.

When King Pingbei came to his senses, he found himself sweating profusely on his back.

What Chen Cheng said was something that no one could achieve no matter how powerful they were. He was very glad that Chen Cheng was their emperor.

"Okay, there's no rush for this matter right now. What we need now is to change the soldiers' original thinking and make them accept this from the bottom of their hearts. Only then can they truly spread this ideal."

Then Chen Cheng said in a deep voice:

"By then, even if I fail, those high and mighty rulers will perhaps learn to bend down and listen to the voices of ordinary people."

This reminded Chen Cheng of a sentence summarized by netizens in his previous life.

After we leave, they will build schools and hospitals for you and raise your wages, not because they have a change of heart, but because we were here.

Chen Cheng is not as great as Guevara, and at the same time, these corrupt feudal monarchs are not as smart as the capitalists.

So Chen Cheng did not think he would fail.

But King Pingbei and his men didn't think so.

What they could hear in Chen Cheng's words was the brilliance of Chen Cheng's humanity. Chen Cheng was not just trying to restore the so-called empire, he really wanted to change the lives of the lower class.

Which follower would not be fascinated by such a king who is both resourceful and compassionate?

Especially for an old man like King Pingbei who had witnessed the glorious period of the empire, he was very clear about the contrast between the lives of ordinary people today and during the emperor's era.

So he wanted to write down everything Chen Cheng did and said today and print it out, so that the soldiers in the army and ordinary people outside could see how broad-minded His Majesty was as a king.

"Your Majesty, the Prince's workshop is ready."

At this time, Bourne went up to the podium to report.

After hearing this, Chen Cheng smiled and said:

"Perfect! Once we change the minds of the warriors, this workshop will become a base for producing weapons to support the frontline struggle."

"Your Majesty, please."

Under the leadership of Bourne, Chen Cheng and his men passed through the military camp and came to the craftsman's workshop at the end of the valley.

"Your Majesty, the workshop here was restored by a master craftsman based on the workshop of the palace at that time. The production equipment was left by Master Zhu Wen when he was making alchemy here.

Thirty thousand kilograms of armor-piercing steel can be produced here every month, and the armor-piercing steel weapons produced can arm a team of 100 people.

Currently, there are 800,000 kilograms of armor-piercing steel, 8,000 sets of armor-piercing steel armor, 20,000 armor-piercing swords, and 10,000 fully tempered armor-piercing steel spears in stock.

Because there are not enough rune masters, there are only 5,000 rune-breaking swords in stock now.

If these stocks were fully utilized, they could arm an army of 12,000 men within three months."

Bourne introduced to Chen Cheng.

Walking into this cave arsenal, you can hear the continuous sound of banging and hammering. Hundreds of shirtless men are sweating profusely as they forge weapons.

The master craftsmen here put down their work because they received the news that Chen Cheng was coming.

"Your Majesty, this is the current master craftsman, Yurikin. He is in charge of everything in this workshop."

Yurijin is the great-great-grandson of the master craftsman who fled with King Pingbei. Perhaps it was family inheritance that allowed him to reach the level of a master craftsman at such a young age.

He had also heard of His Majesty the Emperor, but because the gap between generations was too long, even though he knew that Chen Cheng in front of him was the current emperor and the monarch he was nominally loyal to.

But he still holds the pride of being a master craftsman.

"His Majesty."

Seeing Yuri Jin's simple greeting, King Pingbei and the others couldn't help but frown. Just when Dean was about to scold him for being rude, Chen Cheng smiled and said:

"You're already a master at such a young age, so naturally you're a bit arrogant. I just don't know if you're truly worthy of the title."

The master craftsman here is not a master forger. The craftsman's main direction is actually inclined towards the traditional machinery of Chen Cheng's previous life, while the master forger is inclined towards the materials science of his previous life.

For example, some mechanical creations in this world are all made by craftsmen.

When Yurikin heard Chen Cheng questioning his master level, he immediately became annoyed.

Although he was arrogant, he also knew that he could not offend Chen Cheng at will.

"You're not convinced? That's easy. Let's each make a device using the materials here and see whose is more sophisticated. What do you think?"

When Yurikin heard this, he smiled confidently and said:

"Your Majesty, are you serious? I will not give in to your Majesty."

"Of course, there's no need to hold back. I also want to see the craftsmanship of the master craftsman."

King Pingbei wanted to speak up to stop him, because although Yurikin was a little arrogant, his skills were really amazing.

He was afraid that Chen Cheng would lose to Yurikin, which would damage Chen Cheng's reputation.

"Uncle, there's no need to persuade me. My reputation isn't fake, it's earned through strength."

"Your Majesty is very courageous. I admire you."

After hearing this, Yurikin changed his opinion of Chen Cheng.

Then they asked someone to clear out two workbenches, and then the two of them started to work.

In fact, Chen Cheng’s biggest hobby in his previous life was collecting watches, especially traditional mechanical watches.

Because when he was doing research in modern high-tech research institutes everywhere, only the sound of traditional mechanical transmission could prevent his mind from wandering.

Only then can he focus on his research.

So naturally, he turned from a collecting hobby to making it himself.

Chen Cheng looked at the large and small metal parts placed on the workbench, but it was a pity that the parts here were not complete.

He then found a small smelting furnace and began to smelt the parts he needed.

Yurikin started assembling the machinery directly.

Two hours later, Chen Cheng finally prepared the necessary parts, while Yurikin had already assembled his machine.

This is a mechanical bull the size of an ordinary buffalo.

After assembling his own, he looked at the progress on Chen Cheng's workbench.

When he saw that Chen Cheng's workbench was full of tiny parts, he showed disdain in his eyes.

Because being small means having fewer parts, so naturally its function is also very good.

After waiting for Chen Cheng for two hours, Chen Cheng finally completed his mechanical watch.

Fortunately, there is magic in this world. Although he cannot use his own magic now, he can use magic crystals to activate the magic tools here. Otherwise, he would not be able to make a machine by hand in such a simple environment.

"Your Majesty, are you ready?"

Yurikin asked in a voice that sounded impatient.
