Reincarnated To Evolve My Bee Empire

Chapter 172 - 172: You can get much farther with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone

"Actually… It's two special tasks, Re

I clapped my hands.

"Amazing! Needs a bit of improvement—but it's already great, Researchina! How far can this thing shoot—did you test already?"

"No, Father. I would normally send the new prototype through more thorough testing before showing it to you, but you said that it was urgent…"

I nodded.

"Yes. I can already say it's pretty good. At the very least, it looks like it won't fall apart while shooting."

The entire construction was made from thick, solid pieces of wood and thinner, but still solid bits of iron. It was going to be tough to move around, but it wasn't going to break when shooting.

"I'm glad to be of use to the Empire, Father," Researchina said with feeling. "All the designs are ready to be passed to Craftsmen, then—unless you want us to make improvements first. You wanted to point something out, you said."

I nodded.

"Spare a day on making this prototype better."

From my memory, I added extra points to the ones Researchina already used to make this construction—like a crosshair and wheels; she promised me a fully complete prototype by the next day.

While this was happening, dragon riders were still flying out, trying to gather as much information as they could about our surroundings and watching out for humans.

A week later, as the first Beehounds that I've sent out to search for green giants have returned to Hive Supremo, the dragon riders brought me more troubling news.
