The otherworldly torrent

The year after that.

William once again asked Ursa to send him to the academy, but this time it was a more special academy - the Academy of Knight Research.

Just like its name, it was a place for researching the construction of "knights" in the Kingdom of Avisu, and the "Frostblade Rider" that was being used was developed here.

In a year's time, William definitely couldn't be fully proficient in manufacturing.

But it was still enough for him to know the entire production process, key technology learning, and the overall design concept.

Together with his original top-level knowledge of mechanical manufacturing and automation, as well as the combination of various advanced theories, one year was enough.

...

In the end, William was eleven years old.

Fighting spirit cultivation to high level warrior (third stage).

Magic cultivation to Grand Magician (4th stage).

Graduated Military Academy Basic Theory.

Graduated Knight Studies Basic Theory.

Plus all that was originally learned: elementary alchemy, elementary forging, elementary magic pharmacy, intermediate magic array theory, intermediate magic transmission theory, and so on.

Of course, there was nothing better than Extraordinary Mechanics! In his previous life, he was able to pursue a doctorate, and his talent in this area was absolutely top-notch.

...

However.

Due to his status as a military reservist, outsiders were usually able to find out information about him as:

Prince Ersha's grandson, poor magical talent, eleven year old high level warrior genius.

That's all.

All others are hidden!

...

In addition to the part that was hidden by the military's help, William and the others had done all sorts of hiding themselves accordingly.

After all, as the grandson of Ersha, the prince, or in the case of having extreme talent and a clear goal, as the only offspring at the moment, he still needed to behave mediocrely and better.

The only people who exposed all of themselves were fools, weren't they, Peter Parker.

The fact that the railroad was about to be monopolized by the king's unknowingly given authority, after which they would have access to a large financial source, was alone enough to be wary of the kingdom.

If he's still very flashy at this point, it's even more of a problem.

Quick look! I'm a thief with magic talent, I'm also a thief with mechanical arts, and I'm equally good in the military, so Your Majesty the King come and pay attention to the genius of the royal family!

Oh? Genius of the royal family, too good ...

What? A prince?

Rich? Excellent offspring?

If the King doesn't have some other ideas here, he's really the equivalent of 'James Buchanan' and is afraid that the throne would have been taken by his grandfather, Ursa, long ago.

...

"Enough already."

William, who had already returned home, sighed as he looked at the railroad tracks that passed through the mountains in the distance.

"Little William." Uncle Ryan came forward, knowing that he was needed for something next.

"Make sure Grandpa gets the approval from the King for the Kingdom's new transportation route to be opened up, right?" William asked.

"Confirmation obtained, after that the right to open up all new transportation routes within the kingdom will be given to Lord Ersha, the construction costs will be paid by ourselves, and we will enjoy eighty percent of the proceeds generated after that in perpetuity, with the remaining twenty percent going to the kingdom." Uncle Ryan said.

"And enjoy the right of eminent domain during special times, right?" William asked.

"Yes." Uncle Ryan.

"Hmph, this uncle of mine really doesn't suffer, it's obvious that we helped build the new transportation route, and as a result, we also permanently whored out 20% of the benefit, and we can also expropriate it during special times." William sneered.

"From the results it's already very good, after all, the king doesn't know that what Lord Ersha will specifically build is actually a railroad, and Lord Ersha has also reached cooperation in this regard with some of the other princes, dukes and marquises with large fiefdoms as well, and we've practically taken control of railroad transportation throughout the entire Kingdom of Aivisu." Uncle Ryan explained.

"Well, by the time they know the horrible transportation capacity of the railroad, it will be too late." William couldn't help but laugh.

He had already envisioned that whether it was the king or the rest of the princes or counts, they would end up regretting it to the point of pounding their feet but being unable to do anything about it.

I'm afraid it would be quite amusing!

This was a monopoly!

The entire railroad transportation industry of the Kingdom of Aviosu was the first step they were going to take!

As for whether or not the kingdom would backtrack afterward, or if there were any other measures to try to take back those permissions, that would be something that would be handled additionally depending on the situation.

For example, it has been thought of, promised to return the permissions after how many years and so on, equivalent to making a big fortune and running away.

Anyway, the main thing, is to get a lot of initial funds, which can support the war.

Then the first thing to do ...

...

"Grandpa, connect all the railroads in our territory and prepare the magic train to operate."

William came to Ursa's study and said.

"Oh? What about the drawings?" Ursa asked.

The so-called "drawings" were the prerequisites for doing it!

"Here, two copies of the first generation." William said as he placed the drawings on Ursa's desk.

Spreading out the drawings, if it was someone from William's original world, he would definitely be able to immediately recognize what this was!

These two, respectively, were tanks and propeller-type airplanes!

And these two drawings were also the most important purpose for him to go to the Knight Institute to study, aside from the Mecha Knight that he dreamed of the most!

Because he knew very well that the comprehensive use performance of mecha knights was too low, and now the countries of the world were completely blinded by this violent aesthetics.

After systematic study William roughly calculated that the high cost of knights in this world was completely enough for him to make ten tanks or five airplanes! And only need enough steel and easier to make low level magic elemental power core, can be streamlined mass production.

The overall cost-effectiveness far exceeded that of a knight!

He would start a 'magic industrial revolution' in this world!

"Just do it according to this right?" Ursa said with some excitement.

Naturally, he had already learned about the specific cost-effectiveness from William.

"According to what the Knight Research Institute has learned, there's basically nothing wrong with tanks, that is, this guy that runs with special tracks carrying magic artillery on the ground. The main thing lies in this airplane, that is, this guy that is used for air control control, I'm not quite sure yet."

"Because it involves aerodynamic theory, I can't guarantee that my drawings are perfect and will be able to reach the expected flight properly."

"So I'll call them first generation."

William said bluntly.

He certainly wasn't arrogant enough to think that he would be able to independently design viable tanks and airplanes through just one year of knightly research and study.

In fact, being able to design them to this extent was already the limit.

After all, once upon a time, his own self was only fond of machinery and tinkering with some contraband, but he didn't have the ability to completely develop airplanes and tanks on his own.

For example, the internal structure of the tank drawings here, many of them were still adjustments made with reference to the knight mechs of this world, and he was still mostly extending the mechanical ideas of another world.

The most crucial thing was that he could only get the drawings at the moment, but he couldn't try it out in practice yet.

Because the only practical machine tool equipment he had access to was the Knight Research Institute, which was an organization of the kingdom. If he did something inside, he would be seen in the eyes.

For the Prince's grandson to design any weapon and not report it to the Kingdom, it was a crime of rebellion!

"Enough, I will have people improve the drawings based on this design, as well as upgrade and improve the subsequent manufacturing. The problem of flying is very simple, the big deal is to add some wind magic assistance on it, although according to your idea it's best not to need to carry additional magic assistance to avoid wasting magic power." Erza nodded.

Such a drawing, though, was already enough!

The rest could be left entirely to the rest of the technicians to complete.

...

"Then, I'll be ready to go to the harbor to pick up our orders?" Polly said as she knocked on the study door.

"I think that's about right." William said as he turned his head to look at his father and smiled.

"Go ahead, the large amount of steel will not be too noticeable with the cover of this railroad construction. The low level magical elemental power cores can also be used by elder brother (the king) as needed for the magical power cars for the time being." Erza said seriously.

That's right!

The steel and magic elemental power cores that they had purchased earlier were not just used to build magic moving vehicles! It was still used to build airplanes and tanks!

That was why they were hesitant to ship them back.

"But surely the factories where tanks and airplanes are ultimately manufactured in an assembly line still can't be hidden, right?" William asked with a faint smile.

"What are you talking about? My dear grandson, our Peter St. Territory is the only factory for the manufacture of magical vehicles."

"It's only ..."

"It's just bigger."

Ursa said slyly.

"I don't know anything, I'm only eleven years old." William shrugged his shoulders and smiled.

"You brat!" Polly said with a smile as well.

When the grandchildren looked at each other, they all burst out laughing.

No one knew better than them!

What they were doing now was something that was going to change the pattern of the entire continent!

William was already able to envision it.

While the outside world was fighting with the traditional "Darita", the steel torrent of the Kingdom of Aviosu, led by the "Knights" who had taken the specialization route, coordinated with the overwhelming warplanes to cut through the sky, breaking through the Black Dario Mountains and shocking the world!

An invasion?

No, no, no!

I, we!

We're here to help the world end the war!

Only ...

It's in the form of a unified war!

...

Sacred Continent Continent, 3250 years of the Valle Calendar.

Spring.

Prince Ersha's Peter's Sacred Territory was connected to the railroads in all the important areas.

At the same time, with the convening of the major chambers of commerce, Ersha, who had obtained land acquisition approvals, also began to move the railroads across the country!

Crushed stone paving, railroad track laying sleepers connecting.

In the midst of everyone's puzzled looks, hard against two months of public opinion pressure, respectively, in the country's different ten regions, completed a total of one thousand kilometers of basic railroad laying!

Why so fast?

With the Kingdom's approval, a large number of magicians who knew earth magic were called upon, basically all that was needed were workers to lay the rails and sleepers, and that was quite fast!

Still under the leadership of old workers who were already quite experienced, each region averaged one to two miles of railroad laying per day. Almost thirty miles per month, that's sixty kilometers in two months, which can be called 'god speed'!

Eventually!

All of the public opinion all disappeared after Ershaordered the first five-car plus two-way head magical moving train to be carried to the royal capital and put on the mining and smelting plant railroads outside the royal capital!

Everyone's reaction was surprisingly the same!

Initially it was mockery, and finally shock!

The major princes and dukes, on the other hand, regretted it all the more!

Because its industry was completely monopolized by Prince Ursa!
