Yuan Shen: After the emperor abdicates, I will be in charge of Liyue

Keli thought about it carefully: "It seems...it really isn't..."

"Then it makes sense. In the end, the leader Qin who arrested you was the real person, which means that those knights who were turned into Zephyr by the 'devil' are also real people. If you think about it the other way around, the Kaia who told you the fake news may be the real person." It's the devil!"

Keli's young mind was shocked: "What! Brother Kaiya..."

Keli lowered her head in frustration: "Then... those Zephyr knights who were chased away by me..."

"It's okay, you were bewitched by the devil." Ai Yi comforted at first, then his tone changed, and he began to bewitch: "Don't be low, Ke Li, the most urgent task now is to drive away the real devil and avenge the Zephyr knights."

"But... I don't know how to tell the devil..."

"It's actually very simple, do you think, did he say that he only told you about the devil?"

"Ok!"

"That means that only three people know about the devil now, you, me, and the real devil."

"Then you only need to ask Kaia when you meet him, 'Do you remember the devil you said?', then answer yes is the devil, and answer no is the real Kaia."

Ke Li suddenly realized: "Ke Li understands!"

Ai Yi smiled slightly: "Then if Kaiya appears outside the door later, you can ask him questions, and if he answers wrong, bomb him!"

"Ok!"

The smile on Ai Yi's face became even brighter.

Kaya, right?

Don't save me, right?

I like watching plays, right?

Watch me keep Keri from blowing your ass out.

I can't handle Barbara because I was restrained, and I can't handle you?

Chapter 30 Liyue Progress

After discussing how to deal with the devil, Keli took off her backpack, lay down on the ground habitually, and began to sort out the insights from this experiment.

Although she is still a child, she can't turn around in many things.

But judging from the fact that she is qualified to play with the alchemy table and various experimental equipment, her level of knowledge is not low, but her childlike innocence is still there, so she often uses her clever little brain in strange places.

such as explosions.

And explosions.

and the explosion.

Kelly is without a doubt a genius.

If you want to rank the three people who have the greatest influence on Keli, then Alice is undoubtedly the first. Keli inherited her mother Alice's talent, and also inherited her mother's hobby, making bombs.

The second is head Qin, because head Qin often takes Keli to the confinement room and teaches the rules of life in the world.

The third is Ai Yi who just met.

If it is said that her mother Alice told her: Explosion is art, which laid the foundation for Keli's life philosophy.

Then Uncle Ai Yi told her: Launching is also an art, which broadened her philosophy to another level.

Keli used crayons to write words such as "air pressure gun", "booming spark self-propelled artillery" and "bouncing cluster bomb" on the book, and attached pictures that only she could understand.

She can't remember so much data, but she has whimsy that only belongs to children.

In a world of unearthly powers, these childish dreams are no joke.

As soon as Ai saw this scene, he finally understood why Keli could stay in the confinement room for a whole day.

Children will be very focused as long as they have something to do, and of course they will not be bored.

But in this way, Ai Yi was bored. He half-lyed on Keli's small bed and looked at the ceiling, feeling dazed for a while.

Unexpectedly, my concentration is not as good as that of a child.

Forget it, it's been several days since I left Liyue, let's go back and have a look.

Ai Yi closed his eyes, seeming to be taking a nap, but his thoughts had already drifted back to Li Yue, gradually taking shape in the book he left behind.

…………

Liyue, Yanshang Tea House, the ninth floor of Jiantiansi.

Keqing and Raiden are really arguing endlessly about which direction steam technology should give priority to in the next step.

Raiden really thinks that the development of steamships should be given priority. The reason is that the maritime trade in Liyue Port is very prosperous, and steamships with stronger carrying capacity can further enhance Liyue's advantages in this regard.

But Keqing believes that the development of steam locomotives is based on the fact that maritime trade is already prosperous enough, and the development of steam locomotives is more conducive to the development of land.

The two Thunder Gods disagreed and had been deadlocked for a long time.

In fact, they all have their own little thoughts.

Lei Dian really had a very clear idea, she just thought that if the steamship developed, then she could go back to Dao's wife to see her sister if she said she couldn't.

But Keqing felt that the appearance of steam locomotives would help to break people's concept of "God is supreme".

When people see that even without the power of gods, humans can create such powerful machines, perhaps more people will agree with her.

Putting aside personal considerations, in fact, their views have their own advantages.

Lei Dian really calculated the increase in trade after the development of steam ships, and the income increased by a single digit, and Qing Qing felt panicked when he saw it.

And Keqing's land development strategy is indeed a long-term solution in Lei Dianzhen's opinion.

It's just that she thinks that since she wants to enter a new era, she must give priority to building something with a large enough profit to inspire people's hearts.

Make a good start, and everyone will be full of enthusiasm.

When Ai Yi appeared, the two were frowning, trying to persuade each other.

"Oh? Keqing, are you there too? Where's Heulia?"

Ai Yi turned into a body shape with the "Gods and Records of Tivat" left in Jiantiansi. At a glance, he saw that there were many seats and desks in his home. At first glance, it looked a bit like the place where the former emperor of the Han Dynasty entertained his courtiers. It was obviously remodeled. became a workplace.

"Why do you work here... Oh, I almost forgot, the first to third floors are occupied." Ai Yi asked suspiciously, and suddenly remembered after speaking.

Lei Dian was as gentle as ever: "Welcome back."

But Ke Qing was a little emotional: "Long time no see, Master Dongxu Guanhuo."

At the beginning when Gan Yu told Keqing that Ai Yi was likely to fish, Keqing didn't take it seriously.

She felt that no matter how lazy a fairy was, it would be impossible for him to catch fish on the first day of work.

Besides, for such a big matter, Ai Yi has to keep an eye on it no matter what, so as not to make mistakes, a good start is always necessary.

But it turns out that Ke Qing's feeling was right, Ai Yi did not catch fish on the first day of work.

He ran away the night before, and according to Lei Dianzhen, they went downstairs to sort out some materials, and when they turned around, Ai Yi had already disappeared.

After learning about this, Ning Guang and Ke Qing were directly silenced.

Fortunately, Ai Yi also left two helpers. Although they can feel that they are also very unfamiliar with this plan, they have strong professional capabilities.

Heulia and Yelan teamed up, and it took the two of them a day to find trustworthy craftsmen and researchers. On the third day, the first version of the steam engine was ready.

Lei Dianzhen assisted Gan Yuning to deal with the financial budget of Liyue Port, and squeezed out one-twentieth of the budget that had already been arranged, and threw it into the steam research institute.

Don't underestimate this one-twentieth, the one-twentieth of Liyue Port should be calculated with a hundred million as the basic unit.

Now Leiden is really discussing the specific implementation plan with Keqing. If Ai Yi does not intervene, to be honest, Leiden really has a relatively high chance of winning, because the extra one-digit income is too impactful.

If Ningguang knew about this, it is estimated that he would directly increase the steam research institute's budget from one-twentieth to one-half.

Then she would show Keqing the financial report and say, 'Look, so much budget has been thrown away, if there is no profit, Liyue Port will lose money'.

It will be useless for Keqing to get angry at that time, the budget has already been distributed, and now the person in charge of the research institute is Heulia, if she wants to spit out the money she got, there is no way!

It's useless for Ai Yi to speak in person, at most half of it.

Keqing was also aware of this, so she didn't notify Ningguang immediately, and she herself was gradually wavering.

But Ai Yi's appearance gave Keqing hope, no matter how much Lei Dianzhen and Ningguang persisted, it was Ai Yi who had the final decision.

Ai Yi didn't care about Ke Qing's little emotions, he had seen this kind of face too much, when Morax came over with a gun to urge him to work, wouldn't he still be a fisherman?

"Looking at you, it seems that you have encountered a problem. Why don't you let me hear it? Maybe I can give you the answer."

Chapter 31 The Gap of Ideas

Ke Qing and Lei Dianzhen each narrated their plans and ideas, Ai Yi pondered for a moment after hearing this, and said:

"You have already started to think about this, does it mean that the Steam Research Institute is making good progress?"

Raiden really nodded: "Heulia persuaded the two casting masters with the fire attribute God's Eye, and they are currently leading the apprentices to go all out."

"From what she said, the current progress is very good. A prototype has been successfully manufactured. Now we are waiting for the result of our discussion, whether it is to build a ship or a car."

"Once the decision is made, if all goes well, the first steam machine can be seen in a month."

"Oh?"

Ai Yi was a little surprised by what Leiden said. This speed has far exceeded his expectations. He thought it would take at least one or two months to see a qualified prototype.

Ai Yi looked through the experimental records of the prototype, but found nothing wrong.

It seems that he still underestimated the craftsmen of this world. That’s right. After all, they are craftsmen who can manufacture extraordinary weapons. To them, making ordinary equipment without elemental force is like smashing iron, even if it is oddly shaped, it is a piece of cake. dish.

Ai nodded a little: "Yes, since the progress is so fast, let them make it first..."

Ai Yi looked at Lei Dianzhen, who couldn't help but smile.

Then Ai Yi turned his head to look at Ke Qing who was gradually lost, making Lei Dianzhen's smile froze on his face.

Ai Yi looked at the head of the purple cat that had turned from cloudy to sunny, and said softly, "Let them build the assembly line first."

Ke Qing's expression froze immediately.

They never expected that Ai could choose a third option when choosing one from the other.

They carefully recalled the steam engine technology tree that Ai Yi showed them, and finally found the introduction in a corner:
