Chapter 338 Core Technology (5th Update, Please Vote for Me)
"Ha ha ha ha--"
The sudden burst of laughter from the study startled the palace maids passing by. They looked at each other, involuntarily quickened their pace and left there.
There is a lot of trouble in the palace, and there is absolutely no benefit in overhearing something.
"God - God bless! He really did not disappoint me!"
The excited Victor almost exposed Tang En's identity. Fortunately, he reacted quickly enough and said excitedly: "With this technology, we still have to worry about military rations!?"
As the saying goes, "If you are not in your position, you will not be able to govern," and it is also said that the butt determines the head. The first thing that Tang En and Alleria thought of was that canning can be used to preserve food, so that they can increase food reserves in the season when food is abundant. In winter, Reduce the probability of famine.
But what made Victor excited was that with the canned food, the army rations for the march were guaranteed.
Nowadays, the logistics of marching in various countries in Purandar is a very troublesome problem. A ten thousand army requires three thousand people to support the logistics alone. The actual number of people with combat effectiveness is only six to seven thousand. They need to transport food and grass, and at the same time, they need to solve the problem. The problem of marching food, coupled with the trouble of storing some food, and sometimes even the need to collect food nearby, are very troublesome.
But now that we have the technology of canning, is it still necessary to go through so much trouble?
Make it in advance and seal it using canning technology. When you eat it, you can open it and eat it. You can also heat it up if you like.
How much manpower, material and financial resources does this save?
"How can this technology be so simple? This is simply the revolutionary core technology of the military!"
Aubrey and Adrian felt the deepest feelings. Each of them was holding a can with dull expressions on their faces, but various thoughts were spinning in their minds like lightning and thunder: With this technology, if and If the noble faction goes to war, what advantage will it have? If war breaks out again, what advantage will our country have?
He is worthy of being an angel, any technique he uses is so powerful!
Victor was full of admiration. After tasting another piece of yellow peach, his expression suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "Oli! Has Tang En applied for a patent for this technology!?"
"Oh, Miss Fiona came to Yalinks with me just now. She seems to be planning to apply for a patent."
"Damn it - Aubrey! Take my order to the Copyright Office and tell them that this can patent is currently prohibited from being authorized and the related technology is classified as confidential!"
Although we have said that we will promote social progress and technology disclosure, no matter what era or regime, military matters can never be truly disclosed, especially technology involving core competitiveness.
Aubrey nodded solemnly, stepped on his feet, and rushed out of the palace from the window, heading straight for the Copyright Office.
"But, we still need canned food to solve the winter food problem, right?"
Adrian frowned and asked: "If the technology is blocked, how can it be used?"
Victor said cruelly: "Otherwise, give up on those people——"
Because technology is too important, Victor would rather give up the people at the bottom and choose to protect the confidentiality of technology.
"Father!"
Alleria exclaimed: "How could you do this!"
"Oli, this is politics..."
Victor said helplessly: "Even if you don't want to, sometimes you have to weigh something on the scale and choose the more important side..."
"Maybe," Adrian crossed his arms and thought for a moment, "we can compromise."
"compromise?"
"Yes."
Adrian clapped his hands and said: "Since the technology is confidential, we can completely take it into our own hands. We can open processing plants in various towns. On the one hand, we can solve the problem of short-term food storage, and on the other hand..."
Adrian lowered his voice and whispered: "We secretly collected and stored some cans as military rations, so it is not easy to be discovered."
Victor's eyes lit up: "This is indeed a good idea!"
He looked Adrian up and down: "Sir Adrian, your mind has become much more flexible since you married Vanessa."
Adrien just smiled, but after hearing Victor's words, the smile froze on his face.
"I think," Alleria smiled very strangely, "Maybe she felt the pressure of the economy, so she discovered the importance of making money... If you start this canning business, you can make a lot of money. "
"Yes, yes. Now Sir Adrian can finally find business opportunities. As long as you can give up those rigid admonitions, I think it will not be a problem to surpass Sir Aubrey with your mind."
Alleria and Victor's words made Adrien very embarrassed, but he was speechless...
Soon, Aubrey roared back with a stack of documents in his hand.
"Here, the patent document they applied for was approved instantly."
Because of Tang En's special nature, the Datang Chamber of Commerce's patent applications were processed in seconds by the Copyright Office.
"I told Miss Fiona, and she said she would inform Tang En and come over later."
By the time Tang En arrived, they were already discussing everything from where to build a factory, where to choose trade routes, and even which place to use as a warehouse.
"So lively?"
"Because the technology you used is so amazing."
Victor stood up and hugged Tang En, then asked him to take a seat: "Count Tang En, please forgive me for making my own decision. I believe that the production technology of cans is related to the military's combat effectiveness, so I decided to keep it secret for the time being."
Tang En raised his eyebrows. He had not thought of this at first, but in retrospect, it seems that the invention of canned food on earth was to transport food to Napoleon's army. He was relieved. He gently pressed the table and said, "Yes. I was negligent and forgot the important use of this technology in the military, but if it is kept secret, it means that it will be difficult to popularize it in a short time. What about the food storage for the winter?"
"We compromised."
Victor motioned for Adrien to explain. Adrien coughed lightly, stood up and explained what they had just thought.
"oh?"
Tang En raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "In short, you finally got the idea and thought of making money?"
Adrian said with an embarrassed look on his face: "Provide your family, support your family..."
As an extraordinary strong man, Adrien was in such a miserable state. It was originally unjustifiable. Now that he has enlightened himself, he naturally knows how to use the existing resources to turn them into wealth. However, he insists on the teachings of the Holy See and always has a problem. There was a deep feeling of guilt, especially when Vanessa and Erica served him together at night... It was simply sinful - although it was indeed very satisfying.
"This method is also possible. If you keep the management rights and patents in your own hands, you can maintain the confidentiality of the technology to the greatest extent possible."
Tang En shrugged and said casually: "But haven't you been busy with the hot pot chain recently? Do you still have the energy to do this?"
Victor smiled and said: "It's not bad. The most important thing is that because of the Haildrom incident, the energy of the noble faction has been distracted recently, and the pressure is much less."
"What happened in Haerdrom..."
Tang En's face suddenly became gloomy. Before Alleria told him, he didn't expect that this matter would spread so quickly.
After all, Haerdrom was his territory. There was no one else there when it collapsed, and few people knew that it was the entrance to the underground world. So, how did this information leak out?
Tang En was very reluctant to believe that there were spies among his cronies.
Noticing Tang En's expression, Victor's heart skipped a beat: "Earl Tang En, has something happened?"
"No, it's just that I didn't expect that this matter would spread so quickly. Now not only Ellington and Arinks, but also several surrounding countries know about it. This is very abnormal."
Tang En held the tea cup and calmly analyzed the existing intelligence and said: "With the current speed of transmitting intelligence, just the news of the mine collapse should not make those people use the magic envelope. The most important thing is that I found that After it was the entrance to the underground world, I only told a few trustworthy people... I still don’t know how the news of the entrance to the underground world spread from Ellington."
"From Ellington?"
Victor and the others were startled and said a little strangely: "Didn't this news spread from Yalinks in the first place?"
"Alinx?"
Tang En was also stunned: "What's going on?"
After the two sides exchanged information, they suddenly discovered that things seemed to have become complicated.
"Well, one thing is certain now, that is, besides Tang En, someone else knew about the appearance of the entrance to the underground world at the first time, and also took the initiative to spread it."
Aubrey's face was very ugly: "Then the question is, who is this person? How does he know? What does he want to do?"
"No matter what he wants to do, I'm afraid things won't be peaceful in the mines lately."
Tang En said with a dark face: "I haven't been to the mine since the incident ended. I only asked some miners to go back and seal off the scene... No, I have to go to the mine later. From the time the news spread until they arrived, The mine needs time and I have to do something during this time.”
"Well, the matter is settled for now. The royal family will give up going to the underground world. While the nobles send them to the underground world, we will do our best to stabilize the overall situation."
After Victor finished speaking, several people looked at Tang En: "Whether the forces in the underground world can stand on our side depends on you."
Tang En nodded solemnly, then stood up and said, "Without further ado, I'm going to Haildrom now. If nothing else, the teleportation array must be hidden first."
After saying goodbye, Tang En disappeared from the palace in an instant, returned to No. 77 Queen Street, and then stepped onto the teleportation array and arrived at Haildrom.
At this moment in Haerdrom, Ellington's miners are confronting a group of people...
