Chapter 897: A Line Across Time

Since the middle of summer, everything has been on the right track, and this huge country has gradually accelerated its development according to the trajectory that Gawain set for it.

In the study room covered with velvet carpet, a cool cold wind is slowly blowing from the air outlet in the corner of the room. The sun is very bright before noon, making the simple bookshelves and decorative weapon racks in the study room appear brighter than before. Many, Gawain listened to the report while sitting in the chair he used to sit in, while Heidi stood across from his desk.

The desk is new and the style is the same as before.

"This is a report on diplomatic and economic activities from the Western Frontier," Hetty briefly reported the contents while putting the sorted documents in front of Gawain, "In general, the contact with the remaining tribes of Ogure. Everything went smoothly—including the Eldar who had been unclear before. So far, the grey elves and human tribes who were the first to come into contact with us have established stable commercial exchanges with the Empire, and have agreed to introduce magic nets and railway systems within their sphere of influence. The remaining races agreed to establish commercial channels, as for the leech and railroad...they have to wait until they see the 'effects' in the lands of the grey elves and humans."

Gawain nodded with satisfaction: "The Ogure Tribal Nation is a loose alliance, and they are used to it themselves, so dealing with them can only be done step by step. At least the five kings' jury has shown a friendly will. It is the biggest progress. Is there any news from the dwarf kingdom on the west coast of the continent?"

"The dwarves are very interested in our machines, and there are grey elves to help us build a bridge, the negotiation has been very smooth, but the land transportation between us and the dwarves is inconvenient, and not only does it have to pass through the entire Ogure Tribal Country, And there are still large forests and mountains, so the official start of trade will at least wait until the North Port is put into use - take the west coast route. Before that, the dwarves should not buy our heavy machinery on a large scale due to cost considerations. "

"It shouldn't be too long... The North Port is going very well, and the Kraken technical team that was negotiated before should arrive at the North Coast in the next two days, just to speed up the construction progress of the ships there," Gao Wen casually said. said, "Is there anything else to report?"

"There is one more thing," Heidi nodded, "Ms. Wenna Baizhi, the tribal leader of the Grey Elf, hopes to further expand the export quota of alchemy raw materials. She seems to plan to create a new economic 'signboard' for the Mosswood Forest - let Grey The alchemy raw materials mastered by the elves have become an important economic pillar of the Ogre Tribe."

"Grey Elf... I remember that Patriarch Wenna's daughter is currently studying at Imperial College?"

Hetillo recalled and nodded: "Yes, Mei Li Baizhi - this year's freshman, enrolled in the Magic Department through the standard international student program, with a minor in alchemy and social management."

"Three majors?" Gao Wen couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "He's a diligent kid... Wait, the new gray elf in the Magic Department? Could it be that Kamuel jumped out of the window when he was giving a lecture last time? that is……"

"is her,

The corners of Hetty's mouth seemed to tremble. "Imperial College has begun to strengthen classroom management and the security around teaching facilities..."

"...Grey elves are the first aliens to establish a good relationship with the empire, and they are also the forces that have always maintained good relations with the Moen Dynasty in the Ansu era." After two seconds of silence, Gawain brought the topic back to the right track. "They are a race that is very good at doing business, and their footprints are all over the Western Continent. The Grey Elf traders are even called the 'Link of the Western Continent'. It is necessary for us to deal with such a race - and they are interested in new things, It will also help us to promote new types of machinery and industrial products to the western part of the mainland. We can agree to Ms. Wenna's request - but the exact amount needs to be agreed between the economic and industrial sectors."

"I see," Hetty nodded, "I will organize an internal meeting after I go back, and give an answer to the gray elves as soon as possible."

Gao Wen snorted, and just wanted to ask something more, but a knock on the door suddenly came from outside the study door.

After getting Gawain's response, the door of the study was opened, and an old man who looked refined and calm, with deep and calm eyes walked in - Godwin Orlando, who was in charge of the cultural department.

Gawain looked up at the old scholar who joined Cecil in the earliest days and made great contributions to this country, and raised his eyebrows in surprise after noticing the other person's dress: Orlando today is wearing a brand new outfit. He wore a black formal suit and black trousers, with a golden watch chain hanging down from his chest pocket, his gray hair was meticulously combed, and he wore a pair of bookish gold-framed glasses, which was the same as the old scholar's usual The habit of dressing is very different.

"Your Majesty," Godwin greeted Gawain first, and then nodded his head to greet Hetty, "Grand Consul Hetty, good day."

"You also started wearing new formal clothes?" Gawain asked casually with interest.

"Ah... yes, it's a try," Godwin was about to report the situation, when he heard Gawain's words, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, then looked down at his clothes, with a slightly restrained smile on his face, " After all, there are many young people in the government office now, and even the elderly are gradually changing their attire. The old-style scholar robes are only worn on ceremonial occasions... Even Pittman ordered a formal dress last week. I Also try it out."

Then the old scholar asked uneasy: "I don't look strange, right?"

"It suits you very well," Gawain said with a smile, "it seems a lot more energetic-and it's not a bad thing to follow the trend."

"That's good - I felt awkward when I went out wearing it today," the old gentleman moved his neck from side to side. "Actually, it's very comfortable, but I always feel like I'm imprisoned by the fabric... Fortunately, I'm getting used to it now. already."

As he spoke, he came to Gawain's desk, and took out a report from his file book and handed it over: "Your Majesty, there has been some progress in the 'cultural preservation' project recently, and I have compiled it into a report. ."

The "cultural knowledge preservation" in his mouth is Gao Wen's nationwide large-scale investigation and protection of various classics, legends, knowledge, history and other case files. ” for short, Godwin Orlando was one of the principals of the project.

Gawain took over the report and began to glance at the content above, while Godwin added some details:

"We have successfully sorted out the lineages of the nobility from the first dynasty to the second dynasty in the entire western region, and registered them according to the existing nobility list...

"...We found some valuable documents in the great library of Saint-Sunil, which may help us interpret some historical truths about the most chaotic period of the Ansu Second Dynasty..."

At the beginning, the old scholar who specialized in management documents still reported such relatively "normal" things, but soon he mentioned the content of technology recycling in the second half of the report, and the details of the report made Gao Wen's expression Get weird:

"...Last week, a working group made contact with the local people when they were sorting out local files in the Pompeii area, and made an accidental discovery in a village. Sharing the construction technology of Class II artificial intelligence logic library, Dean Jenny judged that this technology is related to the Iron Man of Gondor, or it may help us solve the problem of automatic coordination of factory machinery...

"...Sir Vip Grant's investigation into the collections of noble families in various places has also progressed. A desolate baron in the West found a blueprint for a key structure of a photolithography wafer etching machine in his cellar. The Baron's ancestor may have been one of the extremely rare Gondor fugitive scholars during the second pioneering period, and his descendants coincidentally preserved precious techniques, but as only a part of the drawings were preserved and the family lineage was interrupted, the function of these drawings was forgotten. .Master Carmel believes that the photolithographic wafer etching technology of the Gondor era is no longer usable in modern times, but some of the runes and mechanical structures on the drawings are still of reference significance...

"...a wandering swordsman from the eastern region shared with us the key technology of the light wave suppressor - he held a completely disabled but still referenced energy conduit, and for hundreds of years he and his The family has been hammering walnuts with this energy conduit, completely unaware that it is a Gondorian heritage, and Master Carmel thinks this conduit may help us solve the problem of heat dissipation from the rainbow generator.

"In addition, the wandering swordsman who has made contributions has been rewarded. In view of the hidden dangers of illegal possession of weapons and the tightening of the registration system for supernatural beings, this swordsman is currently receiving education and training from the local security forces, and he is willing to become a A local sheriff——Similar cases of 'incorporation' have been increasing in the eastern border recently. Due to the gradual stabilization of the social order and the continuous implementation of the new system, those 'wild' superhumans who were originally difficult to control are now in groups. was collected.”

Godwin Orlando meticulously reported the key content, even though his original major was clerical work, even though he was old, he still repeated the content of these technical fields without missing any omissions - until Gawain's expression was strangely obvious. He couldn't help but stop: "Your Majesty, is there any problem?"

"Uh... No, no problem," Gao Wen couldn't help rubbing his brows, feeling that the way "the villagers in the xx area shared xx technology with you" really made people feel an indescribable sense of disobedience, but just now The existence of the heritage of the Duo Empire and the fact that modern technology and culture have been completely dated made this situation seem natural, and he couldn't explain the pitfalls to others, so he could only suffocate his stomach full of emotion in his bronchi." It's going...good, very good."

Then he looked up at Godwin, on the one hand to divert his embarrassment, on the other hand, he sighed sincerely: "It's really hard for a clerk like you to sort out technical things."

"Please don't say that -- I'm not putting it all together," Godwin said hastily. "'Literature Preservation' is the grandest, greatest, most exciting job I've ever seen in my life, with countless People are working hard to protect those precious intellectual heritages, so as to avoid them being completely lost and lost in the dust of history. There are many departments involved in this work, including the cultural field and the technical field. Professionals come to the specific control, and I was lucky to become one of the leaders of the entire project just because I was good at summarizing data and a few years of insignificant qualifications... I just feel honored and fortunate, and I will not complain at all."

Gawain looked at the old gentleman's eyes, slowly revealed a smile, and nodded: "That's good."

Then he lowered his head again and looked at the last part of the report.

After a few seconds, his brows suddenly wrinkled, then slowly stretched again, and a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

"Ancestor?" Heidi noticed the change in Gawain's expression, and couldn't help asking, "Is there any problem?"

"...The Archbishop of Lu'an City, Seven, found an ancient book in the church collection..." Gawain said slowly, "It is highly suspected that the book "Modir's Travels" was lost by the Wilder family in the north."

"Modir's Travel Notes?" Hetty was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted, "Is it the grand duke of the Wilder family who was keen on traveling and exploring 600 years ago? The one who cast the 'Cold Disaster' amulet ?"

"It's him," Gawain nodded and put the report in his hand on the table. "He once left a travel journal, but it was lost many years ago, and now it was found hidden in the cathedral in Luan City. But this is not The key, the key is... This travelogue may also be related to Amber."

Heidi was taken aback: "Amber? How could a travel journal left by the Duke of the North six hundred years ago have anything to do with her?"

Gawain didn't answer Hetty's question immediately, but looked at Godwin first: "Has that travel journal already been delivered?"

"Yes, it was delivered to the Imperial City as soon as it was repaired on-site," Godwin Orlando replied immediately, "Now it has been copied and archived. Do you need its original?"

Gawain nodded: "Bring it here, as soon as possible."

Then he looked at Heidi again: "What is Amber doing now?"

"It should be over at Office No. 25. Today she is hosting a meeting..."

"Let her come to me directly after the meeting," Gao Wen said in a deep voice, "Just say...I have something to show her."

"Yes, ancestor."
