He planned to hand over the gun he invented to the king and receive a generous reward.

A few days later, when the nearby residents smelled the stinking and found his decay in the room, they also saw a suicide note on the table. The lines accused the crime of usury, claiming that Li Gunli had made him lose everything. Apart from suicide, there was no second way to leave dignity in this world.

Of course, the rifled gun disappeared together, and all the research materials.

Human thinking is so agile that the wisdom generated by the brain directly acts on reality. Maximilian has read the secret documents left by the pope in previous generations, which shows that in the past few decades, a total of thirty-seven inventors of rifle have died of untimely death. Of course, every murder case has a reasonable explanation: burglary was found to be killed in a fight, suspected that his wife had cheated and was chopped off by her lover's head, because of family property disputes, she was poisoned in the food, and she accidentally fell on a cliff when she went out for fun...

Forty-one inventors of the new type of gunpowder died.

Seventeen wheeled hands, the inventor of the rifle died.

Six inventors who proposed heavy continuous guns and created physical objects died.

Twenty-eight inventors of the bottom fire shells died.

Among them, there are many nobles who are used to pursue science and are full of interest in exploration.

The attitudes of the entire Holy See's senior officials are consistent - no matter what kind of innovation and invention are, in terms of the research and development of new weapons, innovation and invention must be completely banned. The reason is very simple. The northern giants are not worth worrying about. The patron saint they rely on will one day become scrap iron. Even if the giants have the advantage in physical height, knives, axes, bows and arrows will never beat muskets and cannons. Although the white people in the south are short, we have higher technological power and have inexhaustible sulfur resources.

So our biggest enemies are actually all the kings and nobles.

The secret spies of the Holy See are deeply rooted in the people, and churches in various places are also spreading the saying that scientific innovation is "disdain for the Holy Lord". There are no free schools in this era, and knowledge represents luxury and higher classes. Civilians who are full of religious worship spontaneously become social surveillance groups. They pay close attention to every person around them who have abnormal behaviors. Once they find out, they report to the local church immediately. The next step is to priests to take action, kill people to silence, take away important research materials, and destroy all evidence.

The kings and nobles always reacted slowly. They either knew nothing about it or they always had a beat slower pace and fell behind the Holy See.

This is not their fault. The Holy See has successfully guided the general public from the perspective of faith and established a complete system of churches at all levels. The hatred of civilians against the aristocratic class has not been a day or two. In contrast, they are more willing to get spiritual cleansing from the church and purify their souls in order to ascend to heaven after death, kick the dirty and damn nobles into hell forever, and endure torture forever.

In order to keep the secret, the Holy See closed all the research materials collected over the years and hid them deep underground in Gabriel. Even when Maximilian was in power, there was never a plan within the Holy See to develop and produce new weapons.

The Holy Cult Army is indeed loyal to the Holy See, but this cannot ensure that the new guns and cannons produced will not be leaked. The fewer people know the secrets, the better. The priests only know the goal for the assassination mission to "blaspheme the Holy Lord". However, the actual items are different. The production process requires craftsmen and more experiments are needed to determine the specific performance. This means that more outsiders are involved in leaking the secrets.

This world must be ruled by the Holy See, and any details that may lead to failure cannot be ignored. Anyway, the Holy See has the richest research and development data in the world. In the underground prison in Gabriel, hundreds of "technology inventors" captured from major kingdoms were imprisoned. As long as they were alive, the Holy See could create new guns and cannons as soon as possible.

Folson would never know that his wife Marlena was dead. Her naked body was found in a remote alley one morning, with various bruises covered with violent bruises. It is said that because Folson absconded for fear of guilt, she was caught by an angry noble and threw it to a group of villains, demanding that she must be humiliated to death within the specified time.

The farmer found Tom's body in the fields outside the city. He was buried with his head down. If it weren't for a heavy rain that washed away the surface, he would have stayed there until it was rotten, becoming the favorite nutritional supplement for crops and weeds in the following year.

The target of the new weapon is of course the five kingdoms. In the face of the advantageous rifle rifle, the old-style mezzanine is always at a disadvantage.

In the same sentence, this is a huge plan that takes a long time to implement.

By the time when Maximilian ascended the throne, more than 20 years ago, the Holy See revised its plan again and strengthened various details.

Steam is not a surprising new thing. More than 60 years ago, someone repeated Watt's experiment in the history of civilization and became very interested in a teapot filled with boiling water. It was a pair of Saxon craftsmen and sons who created the original form of steam engine. Thanks to the unique advantages of the white southerners in mechanical processing, they continued to improve the machine over two years and finally completed a new machine that could be suitable for normalized reciprocating operations.

All this is going on in private. The church strictly supervises all types of scientific inventions, and the attitudes of the nobles and kings towards it are also vague. On the one hand, it is unwilling to offend the Holy See, and on the other hand, it is because the collection of tithes taxes. Another important reason is that the rulers of the kingdom are also afraid of the liberation of the ideological from the people. After all, from ancient times to the present, stupid people are most likely to obey. Rulers do not need them to think. As long as they work honestly, they should pay a penny tax, which meets the requirements of the superiors.

The father and son wanted to realize this invention. They were very cautious and secretly contacted a miller, claiming that "there is a machine that can maintain operation as long as coal is burned and completely replace the windmill." If possible, the father and son were willing to use this machine to invest in the mill and share the profits from it.

When the miller came to check the machine, the church spies also came. The father and son were arrested into the local church, tortured, forced to hand over all technical information, and then their tongues were cut off and executed by the magistrate on the charge of "blasphemy of the Holy Lord". That night, the steam engine was split into parts and transported to Gabriel with all the information.

This epoch-making technology was sealed here, packed into boxes, sealed, marked with a "A" secret, and stored in the deep underground layer until now.

Maximilian visited this steam engine. Over half a century, it caused irreparable corrosion to the metal components. All parts cannot be used and cannot operate even when assembled. It completely turned into a pile of scrap iron, just like the owner who invented and created it, and forever became a secret buried in the dark side of history.

All the popes, including Maximilian, think this is done very well. They have read R&D materials and have an extremely clear understanding of the powerful role of machinery in kinetic energy and production capacity. In the southern continent, although the Holy See is a country, in terms of comprehensive strength, it is only equivalent to one of the five kingdoms.

The meaning of steam engines is to liberate both hands and improve work efficiency exponentially. Regardless of any aspect of textile, transportation, navigation, forging, etc., it means releasing a large amount of labor and producing surprisingly huge amounts of matter.

Once it is used publicly, the Holy See cannot keep this secret. Instead of letting the five kingdoms of Rhine, Saxon, Viking, Goreth, and God fully liberate productivity, it is better to seal this secret forever. In this way, the Holy See at least has the advantage in people's faith.

After all, no one has seen what the Holy Lord looks like. Only the vast majority of civilians who are struggling on the poverty line have the need for faith. Because they cannot get enough food and clothing from reality, they will choose to worship the illusory gods.

Maximilian didn't know what Maslow's level was. He only knew that when people were full, they would think randomly and have more desires for the real world. Women wanted beautiful and luxurious clothes, luxurious and spacious houses, and dominance over others.

The Holy See will never sit idly by and watch this happen. Therefore, everything related to "science" will be banned, and the inventor will either be executed by the court or be imprisoned forever underground in Gabriel City depending on the specific circumstances.

These technologies will be used one day.

As long as the Lock Dragon Pass is captured, the Holy See will have an advantage in the issue of land distribution in the northern continent. Based on this, it will attract a large number of civilians from other kingdoms to migrate. With the ten or twenty-year business phase as a cycle, the Holy See will be able to strengthen its strength and publicly challenge the five kings with the advantages of comprehensively surpassing population, production capacity, economy and military power.

Only at that time can these scientific and technological achievements sealed underground in Gabriel City be seen again.

This principle is not difficult to understand————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

This is the dream goal of all popes.

With the successful development of the second No. 6 biochemical body, the issue of launching a new round of war against the northern giants was once again put on the agenda.

Maximilian was full of confidence in this battle.

The reason is simple: Biochemical No. 6 is a legacy of the civilization era. There are other biological weapons projects in the underground area of ​​Gabriel in the state of research and development, but only it is the most worth looking forward to and has the highest control system.

...

Dragon tribe territory, Flying Eagle City.

The Eagle Clan flag originally hung in the middle of the top of the palace hall was taken off and replaced with a brand new dragon flag. This is a divine object that cannot be found in reality. Compared with the old military flag of the Dragon Clan, it has a pair of powerful wings.

The main hall basically maintains its original appearance, with the tall and heavy throne being moved away and replaced with a smaller wooden high-back chair.

Tianhao walked in through the main entrance with great strides, Yonggang and evil teeth followed closely behind him, Yun Kai led up to hundreds of imperial guards to scatter into the hall in a fan shape, standing on both sides of the stone pillars and the porch.

On the steps outside the hall, hundreds of eagle nobles of different ages and genders stood. Although they gathered together, each of them had a piece of paper with numbers written in their hands. They walked into the hall in order according to the order on the paper and met the Regent.

Tianhao sat upright on a high-back chair, staring at the people who were walking closer and kneeling down.

With the death of Ying Chongshan, the Eagle clan has become history. The Dragon Occupation Army launched a comprehensive cleanup of Feiying City. Next is a big search all over the city to find all the rebels and nobles.

This work lasted for four days. As the subsequent branches of the Eighth Legion arrived one after another from the direction of Heiyu Pass, it meant that all the nobles in the Eagle clan were cleaned up and counted. Next, they were dealt with.

The nobles came from different areas of the Eagle Territory. According to Tianhao's order, the nobles above the city lord must go to Feiying City for review and offer all their property.

The nobleman kneeling at Tianhao's feet was an old man. He stood on the ground with his hands, and the muscles on his arms were trembling constantly. His hair was gray and his head was low. From Tianhao's position, he could not see the other person's eyes, but he could see the tears falling on the ground by the old man.

"...I...I'm willing to take the initiative to worship the following property...to the great Regent..."

He said this simple sentence for nearly two minutes. His asthma voice was extremely hoarse, with a hoarse unwillingness, but he was suppressed within the limit that would not arouse the anger of the listener. Tianhao noticed that when the old man said the four words "actively worship", blue veins on both sides of his forehead stormed, trembling spread throughout his body, and the joints of the ten fingers that were stuck on the ground were prominent, as if he wanted to dig deep into the hard bricks.

Tianhao leaned forward, his shoulders tilted towards the left position, his elbows were on his left knee, and he looked down at the old man from a high point.

"You don't seem to be willing to hand over these properties?" The Regent's tone was plain, but the question was very sharp.

The old man raised his head with slow movements, looked at Tianhao with his turbid eyes, looking, exploring, and thinking.

"I don't know what to say? Or do I don't want to answer my question?" Tianhao didn't plan to give him more time.

In silence, the old man stood up and raised his chest even higher. His old face released a hint of coldness, which showed that in the past few minutes, he had figured out some problems and made a decision.
Chapter completed!
