Chapter 458 Stark's Black Technology

Ned's immigration course continues. Ned found that almost every three to five days, a ship is full of new immigrants to Hekou Pass, with hundreds of people in each batch. Ned also found that these immigrants are not only human immigrants, but occasionally there are elves, hulks and other sub-ethnic races from the endless forest. A steady stream of new immigrants enter, and the old immigrants graduate and leave, forming a very reasonable dynamic balance.

In this immigration class, the Stark government not only provides food and accommodation for immigrants, but also provides various "factory internships" opportunities - there is a low-tech industrial daily necessities production line in the water village. Immigrants need to go to the assembly line to experience the lives of industrial workers at least two days a week. These jobs are also paid, just like when working for Axia before.

In addition, the immigration learning textbooks for Stark's Principality are written in detail. Both civil and military affairs are available. Moreover, after passing the basic training in the first month, immigrants can also choose "liberal arts" or "science" or "military arts" according to their skills and hobbies that they are good at to enter the second stage of further study.

To be honest, this is really commendable for a country that has just been founded for more than three years. It is really valuable to organize immigration education materials so meticulously - from the other hand, it also shows that the Principality of Stark attaches great importance to the introduction of foreign immigrants.

Of course, this is also because of the inherent national conditions of the Principality of Stark.

The Principality of Stark is a relatively isolated country. Through learning, Ned learned that there are three such immigration training bases in the Principality of Stark:

Haguchi Pass: Receive and train immigrants from the Central Continent and Endless Forests;

Huangshi Pass: Receive and train immigrants from the Undead Empire and the Kingdom of Worship, as well as the Principality of Terra;

Fenghe City: Receive and train immigrants from the Linfeng Plateau in the South and North.

Because most of the human citizens in Stark were rescued from the undead empire, the ratio of men and women was so different that there were various preferential policies specifically for introducing immigrants to male humans.

Judging from the data, Fenghe City has accepted the most immigrants. There are also many immigrants from the turbulent country. The relatively stable Hekou Pass receives the least number of immigrants, but they are almost all humans and have the purest population composition. If you roughly estimate, there are as many as 36,000 to 40,000 immigrants in one year - almost all of them are males or male sub-men.

Such a speed of population expansion is indeed surprising.

It is precisely because of this that if King Stark had not had the "immigration education policy" that he had come up with, and the very perfect immigration education institutions that were quickly established, these new population educations would have been brainwashed and then put into the country, there would have been various social conflicts in the country long ago.

Of course, knowledge like the imbalance of male and female ratios is definitely not taught in immigration classes. Ned only knew from the library's materials.

Originally, Ned was a little envious of Robert and other "top students" for their joy of singing every night. But since he found the data on the ratio of men and women in the library, Ned has increasingly felt that these top students were not simply used by female instructors, right?

After all, men are rare in the country...

So Ned became even more "guarded as jade".

On that day, Ned saw a book called "Stark's "Black Technology" in the library. He was very interested and immediately took out the book to view it. First, look at the catalog, and saw that the author listed the black technologies that were not found in the thirteen other countries of the Principality, namely:

no.    13    Deer Deer Mining Technology;

no.    12    Ice and snow guarding ice, wind energy fixation technology;

no.    11    Lingxiao City’s void energy absorption technology;

no.    10    Snowman heating technique;

no.    9    The Undead Supercomputer;

no.    8    The undead worker;

no.    7    The Undead High-speed Railway;

no.    6     Under toxin detection technology;

no.    5     Lingxiao City displacement technology;

no.    4    Humanoid Mecha Technology;

no.    3    Lingxiao City Spirit Stone Spirit Coin Crime Technology;

no.    2    The development of ice and snow staple food crops;

no.    1    The undead healing technology;

Ned has also heard of some of these techniques in his hometown. For example, the fifth place [Stark's Spirit Stone Spirit Coin Molding Technology].

Spirit coins are the sovereign currency unique to Stark, and are a circular-shaped spirit stone with mixed energy.

Spirit stone is a more advanced and much purer spiritual coin. In fact, spirit stones can be regarded as a one-time magic crystal. The mage can directly extract the corresponding element or attribute energy from it.

This kind of spirit stone is very popular among the upper class figures in Pratu Province. Ned once ran with a mage, and the mage carried hundreds of spirit stones at any time. According to the mage, the spirit stone is now the hard currency in the mage world - Austria Crystal, and has become "Madam Niu".

According to the author's description in the book, the production technology of spiritual coins and spirit stones should be developed from the fire-attribute energy utilization technology of the snowman, plus the energy extraction technology discovered in Lingxiao City.

Strictly speaking, spirit stones are far less flexible than the mysterious crystal. But the biggest advantage of spirit stones is to directly extract energy from other attribute ores or environments to form magic stones that mages can directly use, and no longer need the mage to recharge energy in it themselves.

The energy that can be extracted directly from ores was only able to do it in the past with huge and complex magic arrays. The spirit stone technology of the Principal of Stark made the production cost of spirit stones with certain attribute energy much lower than that of the mysterious crystal. How low is it?

The price of spirit stones of each attribute of Stark is 40 gold coins per piece. It is said that this was deliberately set to prevent the bankruptcy of the pillar industry of Black Gold Industry, the Aofa Crystal Industry.

So what is the cost of the spirit stone? This is a state secret, so outsiders certainly have no way to know it. But you can roughly imagine it from another perspective:

The author in the book mentioned that the production difficulty and energy rarity of each elemental energy spirit stone differ greatly.

For example, the ice and snow conversion array on the Ice and Snow Guardian draws energy from the energy in the void to charge the ice spirit stones, and all are automatically completed by the magic array. Even the shipment inspection, packaging and transportation of the prepared spirit stones are semi-automatically completed by the undead workers.

The water spirit stone manufacturing factory in Xichuan Waterfall in Jiliucheng and the void dark energy manufacturing factory in Lingxiaocheng, the efficiency of producing water spirit stones and dark spirit stones is also very high.

In contrast, the production of energy such as fire, gold, earth, electricity, light, life, death, etc. is much more difficult.

For simple examples, fire, gold, and earth element energy needs to be extracted from ore. However, the fire mine reserves in Stark are more than ten times more than gold and earth mines.

There is such a huge difference between elemental energy, but it can still be sold at a unified price of 40 gold coins per piece. This only shows one problem: even the most difficult energy spirit stone to produce, 40 gold coins still have a very large profit margin.

What about the four simplest energy gems of ice, wind, water and dark? Isn’t it the same as robbing money?

As for other technologies, such as the second place [Development of Ice and Snow Staple Food Crops], Ned also learned from immigration classes. The staple food crops that can be planted in large quantities in the vast snowfields and reach nearly 1 and a half of the normal rice yields directly turned a large amount of unusable permafrost soil in the Silk Road Province into a highland granary. Not only did the Stark Principality solve the problem of food being unable to be self-sufficient in the Silk Road Province in one fell swoop, but it also changed from a pure importer of grain to a pure exporter of grain.

This kind of black technology...it's just a game changer.

"Our king is worthy of being a great druid!" Ned was deeply moved.

"Ha, isn't this [Xuemi]! I have made contributions to the development of this variety!" A reserved and a little proud and clear female voice rang in Ned's ears.
