Chapter 1125 Knowledge Realization
"Rody, let's continue to study these topics next? How about the lectures... how should we arrange them?"
Iskar put down his wine glass and asked about something they were all concerned about.
"It's going to take a lot of hard work for you guys these days. I'll sort out those notes and make a lesson plan, talk about it a little bit, and then compile a set of teaching materials and print them internally for use." Luo Di is familiar with this set: "These theories come naturally. Those who are knowledgeable can study it, and carry it forward, so you don’t need to do it yourself. As users, our current focus is on how to 'realize' these advanced theories and knowledge."
"Realize? You mean turning knowledge into money?"
Rubens said with a smile: "Is the Karen Kingdom short of money now? It has just unified such a large territory, plus the Tasman side... as long as it is stable for a few years, the treasury will definitely be filled."
This is also the judgment of most people, but Roddy shook his head: "Everyone forgot? I fought the war with borrowed money. Now not only have to pay off the debt, but after the power is held in the central government, it is no longer like letting the lords take care of themselves like sheep. It’s all over, so the cost of management in the first few years is not low. If the war ended smoothly and saved a lot of money borrowed by Rahiman, it is estimated that maintaining the road construction would not be necessary.”
The reason why "economic lifeline" is called "lifeline" is because the economic base determines the superstructure. It is said that "government grows out of the barrel of a gun". If you don't have money to buy a gun, what big things can you do?
The fact that Luo Di suddenly brought up such an important matter has already shown an attitude: the five honorary elders in front of him are worthy of his heart-to-heart discussion on these confidential issues.
Everyone is not stupid. It took Rubens two seconds to understand the joints, and he sat up slightly: "What do we need to do?"
When he said that, no one else had an opinion. Because the Honorary Elder can now be said to have both prosperity and loss with Prime Minister Luo Di.
"For things like debt, there is a time limit for repayment, and the interest can be tolerated. If it develops smoothly in the future, it will be no problem to pay off Rahiman."
Luo Di picked up the plan he had just written, roughly looked at the outline above, and continued: "But the problem now is that all these are theoretical values, and the actual difference will always be quite large, which is a little surprising. , I am afraid there will be a crisis."
After saying this, he began to explain his solution: "In fact, since the beginning of the war, we have produced many things that are ahead of the times. Whether it is an airplane or a spar gun, it has also been practically applied on the battlefield. The effect verified."
"Next, I will consider selling some of the weapons or technology to Rahiman or other countries. The price and profit of these things must not be comparable to ordinary swords..."
Roddy's thinking is very clear. In his impression, there is a movie called "Lord of War", which tells the story of an arms dealer making a fortune in war. Although the story ends with the protagonist's wife and children being separated, it reflects The essence of this is very naked reality: there will be no shortage of wars in any world, and selling weapons will always be one of the most profitable industries.
Kardashian feels deeply about this. She knows better that on Earth, the governments of many countries are controlled by chaebols, and these chaebols are closely related to "arms". Many wars are fired on each other in the name of "faith", but the promoters are always for profit.
"The 'patent protection' system is the way I pave the way for future plans. I don't think there is any rush to develop high-precision weapons such as 'strategic guided missiles' right now. On the contrary, our first task... is to develop some high-tech weapons with low technical content. High-cost, low-cost things to facilitate the early arms trade."
Roddy talked a lot with them, but what he did was actually similar to that of a certain hegemonic country: weapons that had entered the phase-out sequence were sold to those backward countries to recover R&D costs and even make profits.
As long as you ensure that you always have the most advanced weapons and competitiveness, under the circumstances of information asymmetry, this approach can definitely make up for a lot of deficits in the national treasury... Just imagine that in other parts of the mainland,
How can those countries that are still in the era of primitive cold weapon warfare reject the terrifyingly powerful spar cannon?
Airplanes are naturally not for sale, but what about trucks? A truck that travels thousands of kilometers non-stop, with a carrying capacity comparable to dozens of horse-drawn carriages, will probably be snapped up by countries for how much it sells for!
"Arms are such a good deal..."
After listening to Rody's words, Stiga sighed, and the knowledge-rich Dragon Clan certainly knows how much "huge profits" are involved. However, the Prime Minister has a good saying, "Science and technology are the primary productive forces." Knowledge that is invisible and intangible should have this effect in itself.
"Of course, that's the first stage. Because the technical content is relatively low, I think it will take a year and a half, and you can almost get it done. After that, the time to think about missiles will be more mature." After finishing speaking, Rody flipped through his notebook and paused for a few seconds: "After this, there is another very important thing, and I will tell you about it together today."
His tone became serious, and the honorary elders who had relaxed expressions immediately sat upright.
Roddy didn't say the plan right away, but called Edith over. After the great arcanist stood still, he solemnly said, "Although the lords and elders will definitely put this on the agenda, I think...to construct a plan to counterattack the demon portal, we must do it ourselves..."
That night, the prime minister and the honorary elders talked a lot, and they didn't leave until early morning. Kardashian stayed as usual, but at this time she was no longer the same as before, and she had to find some reason to cover up - she had already confessed the matter to her father, and Lord Victor did not object, only saying "investigation ", which means that it is not a big problem for me to actually disclose this information.
After hearing the conversation between her and Victor, Rody frowned helplessly. I thought it would be a difficult task, but I didn't expect it to feel like "it will happen when it's a matter of course". Thinking about it carefully, Basta’s request to accept Kardashian as a lover must have made Lord Victor feel helpless—the dragon clan who has no strength can’t stop this kind of thing at all. Tower, maybe there will be nine towers, ten towers...
Roddy thought that it would be difficult for Kardashian to propose marriage after losing Longjing, but now the status of "honorary elders" has risen. , is already an option to consider.
"In the final analysis, the status of human beings is different today. These things you have done have reversed my father's impression of human beings."
Kardashian counted on her fingers. Since Rody appeared in the dragon's sight, he has indeed turned the tide more than once. But the Prime Minister is not in the mood to be proud now, he just exhaled: "My father-in-law will be inspected for three years, I have to work hard."
This made Kardashian laugh, she stretched out her hand and pinched Roddy's nose: "Look beautiful for you!"
However, she didn't plan to stay here today. Seeing that Rody was tired from talking all day, she said, "Sally's condition is not very good. Go and spend more time with her tonight."
