534 Chapter 534: Formal Declaration

"Did you guess something?" Duke Medea asked lazily, looking at Aslan.

As long as it wasn't a curse, Duke Medea didn't worry too much. It was because of her confidence in her own strength. Cooperating with Nomiri, even if three or five great magisters attacked her, she would not be afraid.

"I suspect it has something to do with the Maxim Empire, and they should still have manpower in the magic capital, so I can only hide here with the teacher for a few days." When Aslan said this, his eyes lit up.

The Duke of Medea understood the meaning of Aslan's words in an instant, and his heart was burning, but his face still looked lazy.

"Who else went with you?"

"Dean Yitzhak."

"Oh!" Duke Medea nodded, looking at Vatini next to her.

"Go and pay attention to the situation of Yitzhak and Joshua."

Vatini nodded, got up and left immediately.

It didn't take long for Vatini to come back.

"Principal Yitzhak and Magister Fleur are now staying with Grand Magister Joshua." Vatini said with a serious face.

She is not the Duke of Medea, but she dare not call the magisters by their names like that.

Duke Medea nodded, stood up slowly, raised his hand, and Natal stretched out his hand to support him very cooperatively. He looked exactly like Lafayette, and the corners of Aslan's mouth twitched.

"Looks like I'm going to visit Your Excellency Joshua in person." Duke Medea said unhurriedly.

Just as Duke Medea walked out of the room, Joshua came with Yitzhak and Frey.

"Looks like it's easy, let's talk in the room!" Duke Medea made a gesture of invitation, and Joshua nodded.

As soon as he entered the room, Joshua said decisively, "How much do you know about steam engines?"

Duke Medea looked directly at Aslan, meaning to ask him to explain.

"I don't know much about the steam engine. Most of it comes from Dean Yitzhak. It's just that I learned about the general function of the steam engine from him. I am very curious and looking forward to it." Aslan Slows said logically.

"Oh!" Joshua asked with bright eyes.

"tell me the story!"

"The steam engine can transform handicraft workshops into large-scale machine industries. Simply put, it is replacing manpower with machines, and replacing complicated handicraft workshops with large-scale factory production. Once the production chain is formed, a large number of workers can be liberated to engage in more Too much work." After Aslan finished speaking, he felt that he had not explained enough details, so he added a sentence at the end.

"Simply put, it is to use fewer people to do more work. This should be the key to the huge productivity that has always been hidden in the Maxim Empire."

Joshua nodded. He had heard this question raised before, but he couldn't see the prototype in the end.

"Is it like the hydraulic workshop?" Yitzhak once visited the hydraulic workshop and was very impressed.

"That's right, but it's more stable than its water power workshop. After all, the water flow is uncontrollable, so it is inevitable that there will be unstable power." Aslan nodded quickly.

Yitzhak instantly understood the role of the steam engine, that is to rely on the steam engine instead of the water wheel to generate kinetic energy.

Thinking of this, Yitzhak couldn't help but feel his blood boil.

"Teacher, we must develop the steam engine. This thing is of great significance. Whether it can surpass the Maxim Empire in the future, the steam engine will play a vital role." Yitzhak immediately raised it.

The Duke of Medea also understands it, but she is different from others. She has seen the magic motor and knows the principle of that thing. The function of the so-called steam engine is similar to that of the magic motor. Is it necessary to develop it specially? ?

Although the Duke of Medea was puzzled, he would not speak out about the problems in his heart. Since Aslan wanted to do this, he naturally had his own purpose, so he just had to give his full support.

"Duke Medea, what's your opinion?" Joshua fully understands that this kind of steam engine is an important weapon of the country and must be in his hands, and it is not difficult to conclude from Aslan's suspicion that the Maxim Empire has already used this equipment Spread out in an all-round way, as long as spies are sent to focus on it, they should be able to bring back news of this aspect soon.

The Duke of Medea saw Aslan nodded slightly, and said in agreement: "Everyone understands the function of this thing, so it must be done, but how to do it must be carefully considered. After all, the Maxim Empire has guarded this secret for so many years. , if it is exposed, it will definitely be hit by the thunder of the Maxim Empire."

Joshua nodded, and soon his eyes lit up, and he said with a smile.

"This is very simple. Let's recruit a few more kingdoms to form an offensive and defensive alliance. Even if the Maxim Empire wants to make a move, it must be carefully considered."

Aslan's mouth opened slightly, how things were developing more and more beyond his expectations.

Joshua's meaning is very simple, that is, to promote the steam engine technology to the entire continent. Although only a few kingdoms have jointly mastered it, technology is like this. As long as more people master it, it will be easier to leak it out.

Aslan's goal from the very beginning was to set up an enemy that would make even the Maxim Empire feel troublesome. Since it would be better if more enemies could be recruited, during the period of cooperative development, various magical technologies can be used to interact with each other. Exchange to maximize the strength of Merlot City.

"Okay, I'll trouble Mr. Joshua about the alliance. Once the alliance is formed, I will follow your lead." When Duke Medea said this, Yitzhak's face changed slightly.

Obviously, the Duke of Medea has made it clear that from now on, the province of Melox will no longer be a subordinate relationship of the Kingdom of Cleveland, and it will be an independent force.

Although Yitzhak had already guessed that such a thing would happen, when Duke Medea said it himself, he still felt helpless and dazed.

Joshua is much more decisive. At his age, many things have already been taken care of, and he can afford to let go.

With the development momentum of Melox Province, the splitting and founding of the country is a foregone conclusion. Anyway, the current Kingdom of Cleveland is already bad enough. A Ten-Party Alliance will keep them busy. Relying on past experience, they want to regain the Ten-Party Alliance. Knowing how many years it will take to achieve it, during this period, it is necessary to ensure that the province of Melox is willing to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight.

So now as long as the alliance between the two parties can be maintained, it is enough, as long as the Melox province is picking up cheap, it is the ten-party alliance that is attacking, not the Kingdom of Cleveland.

Now that the Duke of Medea has also expressed his attitude, Joshua has also formally put forward the conditions in the form of an alliance, and the two sides will reach an offensive and defensive agreement in this room. As for the final signature, Joshua cannot be counted, and naturally the little emperor and the regent are needed That's it.
