Chapter 730: I have something to say

The queen said, "Don't mind this guy. It seems he can't come up with any decent suggestions. Let's continue our discussion."

She pointed to the Capital of Saints on the map and continued with the previous topic, "Mondras army now has magical tools like ours, of course, they don't have as many magical tools as we do, but they have the support of the Desert Kingdom and Norma. Thors and poisonous mist used in their surprise attack on our army were magical tools that exceeded our expectations. Therefore, we must also be cautious. It's possible that with the support of the Desert Kingdom, they may have as many magical tools as we do."

The generals nodded.

The queen continued, "During the siege, the enemy's magical tools have a height advantage over us, and we can only attack from below, which is very difficult. You may have to advance while enduring their constant magical bombardment. Therefore, I suggest that we bring back the Thorium ore that Robb just discovered and have all the army craftsmen work together to make several shielded vehicles. These can be placed in front of us and can withstand the enemy's magical bombardment."

Upon hearing this, everyone thought it was a good idea. Several generals stood up and said, "The strength of Thorium is indeed enough to resist the enemy's magic, and making shielded vehicles is an excellent plan."

"We can also use Thorium to reinforce our siege logs and siege towers to prevent them from being destroyed by their magic," added another commander.

The generals expressed their opinions and discussed them enthusiastically.

At that moment, Robb raised his hand and said, "I want to speak."

The queen glanced at him lazily, not wanting to bother with him. "You were completely distracted earlier. Now you want to speak? What nonsense can you possibly say? I don't have time for you."

Barry, who was sitting next to him, quietly pulled Robb's sleeve and whispered, "Be humble. You made the queen angry earlier. You need to hide and not look for trouble. Even if the Duke tries her best to protect you, the queen will still deal with you."

Robb whispered back, "It's alright. The queen is a reasonable person. As long as my speech is useful, she won't hold a grudge."

Barry carefully thought about it and agreed. The queen was not a tyrant but a rare wise monarch. If Robb's strategy was genuinely useful, she would change her opinion of him.

Barry patted Robb's shoulder and said, "Alright."

The queen's strange expression lasted for a while, but she eventually regained her composure. After all, she was a wise ruler, not a foolish one who would reject her ministers' opinions without understanding the situation.

She tried to suppress her desire to flip the table and asked in a deep voice, "What is the reason for using thorium to make bombs? If it is for the function of exploding like a landmine, the magical material made by mixing iron and ruby is already sufficient."

Robb said, "The reason is hardness! The material made by mixing iron and ruby is too brittle. A small explosion will destroy it, and the Volley Cannon cannot throw it very far. It cannot be thrown into the enemy's city from a very long distance. But thorium does not have this problem. It is hard enough to withstand the impact of the cannon, and it will not be destroyed. It can fly into the enemy's city successfully. Then we can use a multi-condition rune to stimulate it, and when it explodes from the inside, it can be shattered with the power of magic. Once it is shattered, it will turn into countless shrapnel flying around. The lethality will be considerable."

At this point, Robb smiled and said, "Everyone, why not imagine a sky full of thorium daggers shooting at the enemy. That would be beautiful."

The ministers covered their faces with their hands, "That is indeed very powerful, but the speed at which they burn through money is also astonishing."

Everyone knows that Her Majesty the Queen of West Gran is as poor as a church mouse and cannot afford a burning money strategy.

However, the ministers underestimated the Queen.

Although the Queen is poor, she only impoverishes herself and the royal family's private property, but she never impoverishes the kingdom, the army, or the people. If she did not use her own private property to develop the kingdom, how could she be so poor?

She is never stingy when it comes to investing in advanced technology and magical tools because she learned from that crazy man that scientific and technological advancement is the primary productive force, and those who master technology can control the world.

She frowned, pondered for a while, and after several tens of seconds, she looked up and said in a very serious tone, "I need to see a sample. If it is really as effective as you say, I can agree to use Thorium to mass-produce bombs. Even if it means spending all of our Thorium, I am willing to do so."
