The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

After realizing that both he and the unlucky young master were actually very ignorant, Aarons immediately started looking at the promotional materials that Xia Ye brought.

However, these materials were only used to attract tourists, and did not record any technical information or design ideas. Aarons flipped through the information for a long time, and only knew that the flying ship he was riding was the smallest in the empire.

"…The rated carrying capacity is 500 people or 50 tons of cargo. It uses a magic source furnace as the main power source and carries 30 sets of magic arrays. The maximum magic level that can be released is four."

When Aarons saw the word "Magic Source Furnace", he already began to lose his ability to read, and when he saw the words "magic array" and "compound magic", his soul had already left his body.

How can anyone understand what you write? I have never learned magic!

"Magic Origin Furnace... Master, I've heard of this thing before when I was a mercenary."

After reviewing the information with Aarons, Karin was the first to tell the information she knew.

"This thing comes from a country in the southwest of the mainland. It was originally installed on ocean-going ships. Although I don't understand the technology, I heard from others that it is a simplified and smaller version of the Lingyuan Furnace used by the Lingyuan Factory."

The Spirit Source Furnace is a device that uses a special magic array to continuously activate magic source stones to release stable spiritual energy. Although the design principle is relatively simple, in order to achieve the highest cost-effectiveness, the actual size of the equipment is quite outrageous.

The Spirit Source Factory, which is responsible for supplying energy to Moti City, covers an area close to one-fifth of the city itself, and consumes at least two tons of magic source stones every day.

——This not only shows how versatile psionic power is, but also shows that the production of psionic power is actually quite inefficient.

"In order to reduce the size, the main structure of the magic source furnace must be made of the fur, bones and flesh of high-level magic beasts, and other materials must be processed with special alchemical potions. When I was a mercenary, I often hunted level 5 magic beasts because these things are very precious."

After hearing this explanation, Aarons was able to understand the logic behind it - after all, in the world of his previous life, many places were able to build their own nuclear power plants, but shrinking the reactor and placing it in an aircraft carrier or submarine was not such a simple task.

"It seems that the Empire's technology is quite advanced."

"Master, although I know a little bit about magic, to make a ship of this size fly, it should require at least hundreds of level 4 wind magic."

...Do you call this knowing a thing or two? With all those threads in your hands, have you figured out the structure of the ship?

Aarons looked at Xia Ye, who was fiddling with the black silk thread in his hand with an expressionless face, and in the end he didn't say much.

"Anyway, there are a lot of these things flying back and forth over the empire every day... I've learned a lot today."

At this time, the airship had already left the ground. Although the final height it rose was only about three or four hundred meters, it was enough to cross most obstacles on land.

"The propellers at the back use a combination of wind and fire magic. They can allow the ship to fly about 300 miles in an hour. Based on this calculation, we will be able to reach the imperial capital in four or five hours."

A mile here is about half a kilometer, so a simple conversion would mean a speed of three kilometers per minute - the train that Aarons often took in his previous life seemed to have about this speed.

After getting the basic idea, Aarons was no longer so surprised.

"Let's talk about something else... I have no way of judging what the emperor thinks of that territory, and I don't know anyone in the imperial capital... I don't even have any way to get any information."

Aarons carefully searched the memory of the unfortunate young master, but he only saw the sad experience of being sent to the Imperial Capital Academy at the age of thirteen, being despised and excluded by various noble children, and finally being persuaded to drop out of the academy at the age of fifteen.

Although it seemed that someone did have good intentions towards him at the time, he not only didn't know the other person's name, he couldn't even remember what he looked like.

"I estimate that there is a high probability that the territory will be taken back, and I will probably be reduced to an honorary earl or viscount, leaving me to find a place to fend for myself."

The descendants of nobles without territories would be naturally downgraded, and even dukes would become commoners after three generations. It was by relying on this rule that the empire maintained the balance of power among the nobles, allowing commoners to have the qualifications and opportunities to compete with the children of nobles.

"How about we go and grab someone else's territory?"

"This isn't a time of chaos... If I bring people to seize someone else's territory today, everyone in the empire will gather together to destroy me tomorrow. Even if my father and my brother are dead, other nobles won't dare to come and say that the Marquisate will belong to them from now on."

——If it is in a chaotic world where heroes from all walks of life are fighting for fame and fortune and expanding territory, then relying on killing may indeed be able to carve out a place for oneself.

But now is a peaceful era, most people are enjoying a peaceful and prosperous life, and the superiors have clear rules for the replacement of the old with the new. If someone suddenly comes out and says that he wants to conquer the world and compete for the Central Plains, it would be strange if everyone doesn't think you are crazy.

Although this is not completely impossible, how much popularity and resources do you need to convince ordinary people who are not in a survival crisis to support you in launching an attack on the territories of other nobles?

"Then it seems that if the young master wants to turn things around, there is only one way left for him to go."

Xia Ye, who had already retracted the silk thread, reached out and pushed his glasses, then gave his suggestion expressionlessly.

"Marry a noble who owns land, or marry into his family, and then wait for your partner to inherit the territory."

"You might as well let me go to war..."

There is nothing wrong with the idea, but who would look up to a talentless loser?

Of course, nobles with territories would carefully choose their heirs. From the fact that Marquis Moti designated his talented second son as his heir, we can see that bloodline inheritance actually played a large role in this matter.

If his heir has a third or fourth level of strength, then the lord would certainly hope that the next generation would also have such strength. And the offspring of two equally talented people would of course have a higher probability of having stronger talents.

"Anyway, I heard a long time ago that some lords would even find many breeding partners for their children in order to ensure that the third generation of their family would have a fourth or fifth level talent. If my brother is a few years older, he will probably be treated the same way."

This kind of hatching and spawning of individuals is still suitable for doing in games - Aarons is actually quite unhappy with such rules.

"I'm a loser who can never reach level three in my life. Who would marry me the daughter who can inherit the family business? The most likely person I can marry is a marginal person with no talent like me, right?"

However, none of these options worked, and Aarons didn't know what else he could do.

"Anyway, let's take it one step at a time. If nothing works out, the worst that can happen is I'll learn from that Kuran and go out and become a mercenary. If nothing works out in these few years, then I'll admit defeat, and then you two can just crush me and be done with it."

Anyway, if I really can't do anything, the worst that can happen is that I can just be a puppet for Xia Ye and Karin... But if it really comes to that, I guess my life in this world will be over.
