As soon as Rand had time, he looked for various industries for the territory, such as wool spinning, paper, soap, brewing, fermentation, pottery making, brick burning, mushroom cultivation, etc. Some technologies, such as brewing, pottery making, brick burning, and wool spinning, are now There are technologies that the leader knows, and even though the leader does not know the remaining technologies, Lant can probably recall the principles or techniques from his previous life.
The advantage of these is that as long as the process is understood, the industry can be developed without magic, and Lant hopes to add magic to some process steps to simplify the process steps and improve efficiency and product quality.
For example, in the magic-patterned pottery jar that Lant asked the girls to make, the magic power provided by the magic-gathering runes is just enough for the warming runes to maintain the temperature in the jar at 35-45 degrees Celsius, which is suitable for the reproduction of lactic acid bacteria.
Not only yogurt, but also koji, fermented bean curd, and in the future compost will control the temperature and humidity to allow different substances to slowly ferment under the action of microorganisms.
Another example is the complete set of papermaking equipment that Sophia is currently developing, including the grinding, cooking, rolling and beating of raw materials; there is also the woolen spinning equipment that Lant has already thought about with the girls.
After the breeding business gradually got on track, the girls' workshop became the research and development base for the territory's craft equipment. Every time Lant came, he would inspect the progress of a batch of new equipment in the workshop and also bring some new ideas.
. . Salt mine, Shandong, emergency communication room. Ben Kaur was redrawing the magic pattern on a magic mirror, while Wendy, not far away, was studying the magic circle on the wall.
"Wendy, I only have a little work left here. When communicating tonight, there shouldn't be any instability problems like yesterday." Ben's attention was completely focused on the magic carving knife in his hand, and he had no energy to do it. Look at the girl on the side.
"If you have something to do, go ahead. There is no need to stay with me here." Just as Ben Kaur promised, as early as the day of the 17th, he used the magic circle in the emergency communication room to establish a link to Luo The magic mirror line of the Castle, and communicated with Joanne and other girls at the Castle last night, but the magic lines on the magic mirror still need to be adjusted to keep the communication open for a long time.
"Oh, okay then", Wendy put down her hand from the rune line on the wall,
"Then I'll go check out some warehouses. Yesterday Jonny said they need more paper, so I'll go look through those old warehouses."
"Okay, go quickly." The mage heard the sound of the door closing and sighed silently. In an instant, the magic carving knife in his hand flew into the air, and the light on the magic mirror became brighter.
Outside the communication room, the magic goblin saw Wendy coming out and flew over with concern. Although she said nothing, she was gesturing with her hands desperately.
When Wendy saw this, she pointed towards the room, only to see the magic goblin shaking her head and gesticulating vigorously with her hands open.
Outside the cave, Pitt was arranging for the knights and barbarian cavalry to pack all the salt that had not been carried before. According to Lant's request, there was still some salt that they needed to collect on site.
"Leave your team to collect brine," Peter said to his team leader.
"Team 2 will follow Master Wendy to search the warehouse, and the rest will go to the coal mine in the north. We will stay here for at most 3 days before returning!"
"Yes!" The knights split up. In the past two days, Wendy and Ben Call have modified the brine extraction device. The new brine extraction device sends a long and slender bucket to the rock well through a rope. When the long bucket is filled with brine, it is pulled to the side of the salt well with a draft horse. A pulley device is used to pull the long barrel out of the well. There is a one-way valve at the bottom of the long barrel. Once opened, dozens of kilograms of brine can be poured out.
The brine goes directly into the buckets used for transportation. After the buckets are filled, they are pulled by horse-drawn carriages to the salt boiling workshop in the cave. No manpower is needed to transport the whole process.
This brine mining method was modified by two magicians based on the ideas of Lant's hometown. The original manual mining of brine was too slow and occupied too much manpower.
The new device does not require manual labor to extract the brine, it only requires someone to supervise. The main step in limiting salt mining now is the number of rock wells. Currently, there are only two usable wells in the entire salt mine. While waiting for these wells to collect brine, Pete can also arrange for personnel to test the coal mining tunnels.
Compared to Iwai, the mages made relatively minor changes to the coal mine. They only had the magic fairies level the mine floor and widen and raise the mining passage.
After a day's work, the demon-lovers of the Knights gathered together in the hall of the cave for dinner. Wendy and Ben listened to their comments about their usage experience.
"Master Mage, can the minecart in the coal mine move on its own? It's not hard to dig coal, but it's too hard to transport coal!"
"Master Mage, we used to only mine salt and our bodies were relatively clean, but mining coal is too dirty! We have to queue up to take a shower!"
"Sir, we may not bring enough draft horses, right?" Wendy listened to the opinions of these people, but she was thinking about what Lant said that night.
"Brine is usually accompanied by natural gas. If natural gas can be used as fuel, the coal used to boil the salt can be saved and directly supplied to Ye Qicheng. If a steam engine can be developed, transportation in the mine tunnel can also be solved."
"What is natural gas?" Wendy frowned,
"What is a steam engine again?". .
"Sir? Can you hear me?" At 9 o'clock in the evening, Wendy and Ben Call met as agreed.
"Of course, how are you over there? It's getting warmer here in Lot, but is it still snowing over there?" Lant looked very clear in the magic mirror.
"Winter is like this on the plains. If it snows, it snows. We are all used to it," Wendy happily introduced to Lant.
"How about the salt mine?"
"Very good. I have modified the brine mining device as you said. I also took the goblins to strengthen the walls of the camp. The mage said that the area should be expanded. It is best to cover the entire valley entrance, but I think it should be completed first. Projects in the salt mine valley." Wendy answered before Ben could speak.
"Yes, Wendy learns quickly, don't worry." Ben also smiled.
"I understand. You can just base it on the specific situation in the salt mine. Use the magic mirror to tell me anything at any time. In addition, tell Pete that he must arrive at Yeqi City by the end of the month." Lant in the magic mirror was very worried. Concerned about the transportation of salt.
"I know, I'll tell him right now." After saying that, Wendy was about to run out. She didn't have anything more to say, so she said goodbye to Lant. The magic mirror turned into an ordinary mirror again, and the video communication was interrupted. .
When Wendy reached the door, she turned around and saw that the mage was still holding the magic mirror in his hand and had no intention of leaving.
"Teacher, do you have anything else to do?"
"Yes, I want to change the magic circle here to reduce the consumption of magic power." The mage pointed to a magic circle in the magic mirror.
"Okay, then I'll go find Peter first." The girl left with a smile.
