Chapter 1214, the kind that flies down three thousand feet
The increase in daily riding training and the deployment of a large number of war horses have made the financial problems of Wanjie Civilization a little tense again.
After all, in the past two years, their Emperor had been building steel battleships there, expanding the navy's combat power, and burning all the money in the treasury like paper.
Although in the end, under the persuasion of the Finance Minister with tears and runny noses, the subsequent warship manufacturing was finally temporarily suspended.
However, the research and development of various naval warfare weapons has not stopped at all.
Moreover, in the past two years, Luo Ji has built a large number of power stations.
Not to mention the most common thermal power station, the hydroelectric power station on the Yangtze River Dam is really expensive!
In addition, there is also the Great Wall, a super-large project.
After this back and forth, although the manufacturing of steel battleships stopped, their Emperor completely changed hands and used the money originally intended to be used to build battleships to other projects. In the end, the money was not saved.
No matter how much it is reduced, the national treasury is still not rich.
And now, with the war horse incident, the national treasury is even poorer...
Looking at the latest financial report, even Ye Qingxuan had to admire her prodigal husband's spending ability.
People spend money like water.
Luo Ji is better, that's a waterfall! And it's the kind that flows down three thousand feet!
At present, the annual budget of the civilization of all worlds has reached a certain limit, and it is already difficult to increase it.
After all, this is not a budget issue at all.
But when Luo Ji developed, he was too extravagant.
Take the Yangtze River Fleet as an example. If the civilization of ordinary players wants to build such a steel fleet, the funding problem alone will be enough to greatly slow down their efficiency. It will take more than ten years at least.
Luo Ji, on the other hand, was like a dumpling. In just a few years, he managed to create such a fleet without any previous naval foundation.
He also built a Yangtze River fortress and a Yangtze River port...
The three-star man-made wonder of the sea lighthouse is still under construction, but I heard it is almost completed.
The main reason is that most of the manpower has been diverted from several other large projects. The number of workers responsible for the construction project of the large offshore lighthouse is limited, so the construction efficiency has been greatly slowed down.
At the end of this month, Luo Ji took a group of guards and took a steam train to the Yangtze River Fortress.
There is no other reason than his three-star man-made wonder, the Great Maritime Lighthouse, which has been officially completed.
This three-star man-made wonder was built on the border of the Yangtze River Basin of the All Realms Civilization.
A building like a lighthouse is equivalent to a beacon on the sea. Luo Ji obviously planned to use this lighthouse to monitor enemies who wanted to invade the interior of his civilization along the Yangtze River.
After getting closer, before he could open the introduction panel, the system's reminder sounded first...
System prompt: Congratulations to the player 'Luo Ji' for obtaining the three-star man-made wonder 'Sea Lighthouse'...
Although he can be considered a complete veteran player now, he still couldn't help but feel a little excited when he heard this system prompt.
With a flick of his fingertips, the detailed data of the large lighthouse on the sea soon appeared in front of Luo Ji's eyes...
Name:Sea Lighthouse
Type: Architecture, Man-Made Wonders
Level: Samsung
Introduction: The lighthouse is the focus of all eyes. It is a beacon on the sea and is used as a coastal defense lookout. In disputed waters, it is often a symbol of national sovereignty!
Effect: The holder of this wonder can obtain a fixed civilization point of 300 points every day. Within the effect range, the holder's naval combat power is increased by 15%, and the chance of advancing in advance is increased by 30%.
Discover enemies from the sea!
Luo Ji can be said to be quite satisfied with this effect. According to his current situation, he needs to use it to prevent the invasion of enemies at sea!
After seeing this three-star man-made wonder, Luo Ji's main purpose of his trip had been achieved.
But since you have already arrived, you naturally want to admire your own Yangtze River Fleet.
In modern society, some people like to show off luxury cars, cruise ships, and even private jets, but I have a steel fleet, do you have one?
I have to say that when his Yangtze River Fleet started practicing on the river, Luo Ji was still a little embarrassed. He was just a man, showing off his battleships?!
Standing on the deck of the Yangtze River Fleet, the flagship of the Yangtze River Fleet, riding the wind and waves all the way, it feels quite comfortable.
This battleship was originally built according to the design drawings developed by the Wanjie Civilization. Later, after Luo Ji obtained the gold-level steam battleship design drawings, it was improved according to the perfectly proportioned design drawings.
Its own performance and the firepower carried on the battleship are basically useless in this era.
The only fly in the ointment during this period was that the Minister of Finance, who came with him on the pretext of a field trip, looked at him with eyes full of resentment.
I don’t know how much money the Yangtze River Fleet will burn through such a drill.
It is no exaggeration to say that after a battleship is built, even if you do nothing and just dock it in a port or dock, it will cost money, not to mention that the fleet has to train and patrol on a daily basis.
Woolen cloth……
As for the Minister of Finance's small resentment, our Emperor, of course, selectively ignored it and pretended not to see it.
"Your Majesty, there is a minefield ahead."
At the same time as Yuan Xi reported this matter, an entire Yangtze River fleet had slowly stopped.
Luo Ji, who was standing on the deck, raised his telescope and glanced at the mine field in the distance.
To be honest, he couldn't see anything from the river surface, because all the mines were hidden in the water.
Putting down his telescope, Luo Ji casually asked Yuan Xi, who was standing next to him.
"Yuan Xi, has the Yangtze River Basin been peaceful recently? After the mines were deployed, did the murlocs and dark elves make any follow-up actions?"
In response to this, Yuan Xi, who was standing aside, replied in a neither humble nor overbearing tone...
"Reporting to Your Majesty, generally speaking, since the mines were deployed, the Yangtze River Basin has been relatively peaceful. However, from time to time, some murlocs will still lurk over, wanting to see if they can exploit any loopholes...
…”
Just as Yuan Xi finished speaking, a mine buried hundreds of meters away exploded with a 'bang', causing a huge splash.
This really means that Cao Cao and Cao Cao are here...
This sudden situation caused a group of bodyguards led by the guard captain Wang Kai to quickly protect Luo Ji behind them.
However, the explosion hundreds of meters away actually did not affect Luo Ji at all.
Not to mention that there are several destroyers serving as frigates in front of the Yangtze River.
"Your Majesty, for your own safety, should we return first?"
Yuan Xi, who was standing aside, spoke calmly, but there was not much panic on his face.
Obviously, this shouldn't be an unusual situation.
Luo Ji had no intention of increasing the workload for Yuan Xi and the others. After hearing this, he nodded quite simply.
"Okay, let's return."
After receiving the order, Yuan Xi immediately signaled four destroyers to escort the Yangtze River back home.
The other warships were still parked outside the minefield, and basic warning work still had to be done.
Chapter completed!
