Chapter 1112 The Latest Type of Cannon
The roar of artillery fire resounded on the test site.
The flying shells easily destroyed targets hundreds of meters away, showing amazing range and destructive power.
Putting down the binoculars in his hand, Luo Ji's face was now filled with a look of excitement that he couldn't contain.
"Quick! Take accurate range measurements!"
The test of a whole new type of cannon can be said to have been carried out very smoothly.
As far as power is concerned, there is basically no need to say more, Luo Ji has always cared about the range most.
After ten rounds of artillery bombardment measurements, a more accurate value was immediately displayed in front of Luo Ji's eyes.
The latest type of cannon in front of me currently has an effective range of 700 to 800 meters, and the maximum range is 1,200 to 1,300 meters!
Of course, Luo Ji is someone who only looks at the effective range, but even if he only looks at the effective range, it has officially surpassed his Ten Thousand Realms Civilization's three-bow crossbow, not to mention its power.
At the same time, due to the addition of the talent items of the dwarves, the stability of the latest cannons is very high, at least in the previous hundreds of test shots, there has been no such thing as a blast.
However, this does not mean that the three-bow crossbow does not have any advantages. At least in terms of cost, the three-bow crossbow is much cheaper. Of course, the cost of ammunition should also be included.
No matter how you think about it, the shells are much more expensive than the heavy crossbow, not to mention that the heavy crossbow can be recovered and reused many times.
Which is like a cannonball? Every time this shot is fired in the future, it is really burning money.
Taking the document in Michelle Ye's hand, he glanced at the obviously higher manufacturing cost, which put a lot of financial pressure on him!
After riding the carriage back to the palace, seeing Luo Ji's tangled face, Ye Qingxuan, who was reading the documents and reports in the Qingluo Palace at the time, couldn't help but wonder.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the development of a new type of cannon failed?"
"no."
Luo Ji shook his head, then told Ye Qingxuan what he was struggling with.
After hearing this, Ye Qingxuan suddenly laughed.
"You don't have to worry about finances."
"But the financial report last quarter was not very optimistic, right? The expenditures on several major projects and research projects in the civilization are too high recently. Although it is not a loss, the surplus is not much, let alone the future. The production of steam locomotives and the laying of railways must be studied."
Having said this, Luo Ji couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows. Just thinking about this made his head start to hurt. The development of this civilization burns money faster than burning paper.
What Luo Ji didn't know, however, was that the economic development of his civilization was already prosperous.
Why are other players developing so slowly? To put it bluntly, don't you just have no money?
If you don't have money, you won't be able to develop, and eventually the speed of development will inevitably be slowed down.
It is no exaggeration to say that the later stage, the greater the importance of economic development.
Those players who did whatever they wanted in the early stage and didn't develop the economy well will definitely suffer at this stage.
At this point, Luo Ji can already be regarded as a foresight, surpassing most players of the same rank, not to mention that Ye Qingxuan is helping him manage the finances of civilization.
As the 'Finance Minister' of Wanjie Civilization, Ye Qingxuan, who is in charge of civilization's economy and finance, has no doubts about these expenditures and the funds that need to be spent in the future.
But at this moment, her whole person still seems to be at ease.
Just as Luo Ji was talking, Ye Qingxuan casually handed a document to Luo Ji's eyes.
"what is this?"
As Luo Ji asked, he casually flipped through the document, and at a glance, his eyes suddenly lit up.
At the same time, Ye Qingxuan's voice rang again.
"The preferential policy in the Dwarf Province officially ended last month. In other words, once this winter is over, the first batch of taxes will be collected before the next summer."
Having said that, Ye Qingxuan took a breath and said again...
"In the past ten years, the population of the dwarf province has not grown very fast, but now it has grown to almost eight million. This batch of tax revenue should be quite considerable."
Here, by the way, it is worth mentioning that in the past ten years, the population of the human race of the Wanjie civilization has continued to soar, and now the total population has exceeded 45 million.
Now to get back to the topic, Luo Ji slapped his forehead hard when he heard this. It took a long time, and he almost forgot about it.
Back then, in order to speed up the integration of dwarves, and also to appease the dwarf province that had just experienced a full-scale war and suffered heavy losses, he promulgated a number of preferential policies, including, of course, tax exemptions and tax reductions.
However, a large part of the civilized financial economy actually comes from taxation.
Therefore, the original policy was a huge financial burden on Wanjie Civilization, but there was no other way.
After the two of them got married, Ye Qingxuan began to take charge of the finance and economy of Wanjie Civilization, and taxation was undoubtedly one of them.
Since then, Luo Ji has focused his attention on the development of civilization, and after a while, this matter has been forgotten by him.
If Ye Qingxuan hadn't reminded him today, he probably wouldn't have remembered it.
If the tax of the dwarf province can be collected, it can definitely ease the finances of the civilization of the world.
"Then I, let people start mass production?"
"No problem, don't worry about finances. Although the first batch of taxes on the dwarves province will not make our finances abundant, it will definitely not collapse. Don't worry."
Having said this, Ye Qingxuan suddenly smiled mysteriously.
"And in the last two World Cups, although the number of participating teams has decreased, each team has cultivated a large number of fans, which does not affect the popularity at all. Even the profit of each session is higher than before."
With Ye Qingxuan's financial security, Luo Ji undoubtedly felt a lot more at ease.
He then officially named the newest type of cannon the Cannon and began production.
At the same time, at this moment, the three-bow crossbow of Wanjie Civilization officially retired!
As for how to deal with these eliminated three-bow crossbows?
Of course, it was all handed over to Ye Qingxuan and asked her to sell it to other players.
Although for their Wanjie civilization, the three-bow crossbow has already been eliminated.
But no one can deny that the three-bow crossbows manufactured according to the super technical power of their Wanjie civilization are obviously more than those of ordinary civilizations. Ye Qingxuan can still sell at a high price after a little operation, and make a big profit!
