"The Galloping Horse Plains are rich in products. According to Sherman's estimation, the salt mines in the northeast are enough to sustain the entire human empire for thousands of years. The iron mines in the southwest are not only rich in iron, but also have magical black iron ore. There are several areas of geothermal lava in the westernmost Iowa Mountains."
"There are several dwarf city-states in the northern part of the Iowa Mountains. I really want to find time to go to them to drink. The alcohol content of the human race is too low and boring."
On the night of February 31st, Lant was reading the sheepskin booklet he purchased from Maned Wolf City. Ever since he bought it, Lant had been busy.
It was finally the end of February, and the heaviest camp relocation task was about to end. Now only Laniya, Peter, Kay and others were left. As for Lant himself, he planned to stay a few more days with Kuryagan, Sophia, and Joan. Ni waited for the girl to finish Lot's boiler room before leaving.
Just yesterday, Peter Maned Wolf finally escorted the salt outside Lot Castle. A new batch of caravans heading to the royal capital will soon set off. After sending off the caravans, Lant will also go north, focusing entirely on Ye Qi. On the construction of the city.
Lant, who finally had a relaxing day or two, could finally read a book at night and see how the ancients a thousand years ago viewed their future territory.
"To the west of the Galloping Horse Plains is the Hindukel Valley. It is the gathering place where the orcs have attacked the human race. It is a land that has never been conquered by the human empire."
"For humans, the more powerful an individual is, the taller it is; for orcs, the more animal-like it is, the stronger it is. If you see an extra-large animal in an orc tribe, it must be the leader of the tribe."
Regarding the several battles between the human empire and the orcs, Lant also heard Albert say one after another that the strongest of the orcs, the Beast God's Favorite, had the appearance of a small beast god, and it would be impossible to tell that they were intelligent beings without opening their mouths.
"Big animals are difficult to deal with. After carrying the will of the Warcraft God, they can fight against demigods."
Although this book is made of paper at the core, it is a thin book with less than 100 pages in total. It didn’t take long to reach the end. Lant also used his fighting spirit to activate the magic pattern on the cover, but it had no effect and was miserable. The mysterious Lant ignored it, put the book on the table, turned off the illuminated rune board, and went to sleep, leaving only the parchment that was constantly glowing under the moonlight.
. . . . . .
On February 32, the two suns rose into the sky, and Lant's confidants were ready to set off. Peter Maned Wolf and Lanya Maned Wolf will be stationed in Yeqi City, and most of the carpenters, leatherworkers, and grooms in the original mine will , tailors and other craftsmen need to stay in Yeqi City, and can only be managed by Lanya Maned Wolf first;
The intermediate knight Nedland Wilson will return to Yeqi City with Lant; Alf Fate will stay in Lot City, with 3 low-level knights, 10 trainee knights and 10 barbarian cavalry stationed in the city. This lineup can already be combined with The strength of Lot's original territory is comparable. Rune Egret and Kenan Doyles will be responsible for garrisoning the industrial area and salt mine camp in Yeqi City respectively.
"Please pay attention to safety on the road. Don't be in a hurry. If you are too tired in one day, you will arrive in two days." Lant saw off his subordinates and specifically told Laniya and Peter that these two people were not following a large number of people to slowly go north, but The fast horses strive to reach Yeqi City within one day, and the four stations along the way will provide them with replacement horses.
"Most of the residents will arrive in the next two days, we have to hurry up." Due to the reception capacity of the post station, all the migrant residents are in a team of 400-500 people, marching 40 kilometers every day. Laniya has been insisting on seeing them off at the end. After gathering a group of citizens, they quickly arrived at Yeqi City and checked the status of each team along the way.
Peter had just arrived in Lot yesterday and had to rush back to Ye Qi's sleeping cellar today. Naturally, he was a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to show it in front of Lant.
"Sir Lant, can you give me a hug?" Kay ran over and asked Lant, "You hugged Wendy and Lili before they set off."
The centaur girl Kaye went north with most of the magical fairies, and the monster horse Black Rabbit who fell in love with the wall also went with Kaye.
"Of course" Rant opened his arms. Kai was taller than Rant and needed to bend his front legs to hug him.
"Sir, come here quickly~" the girl said playfully in Lant's ear, and then the black pony ran towards the north together. The two four-legged ones often wanted to compete with each other to see who was faster.
I sent off my confidants in the morning and sent off the caravan in the afternoon.
Obert Galloping Horse and Mace Frostwolf set off again with the caravan. The salt team just arrived yesterday, and the river boats of the two companies had just received the goods, and they had just loaded the goods in the morning.
The caravan must first deliver armor and horses in Maned Wolf City. The Earl is eager to wait. Then it must purchase some goods in Maned Wolf City. After joining the caravan of the Wild Bear Leader, it will follow the Earl of Maned Wolf's team to the east. Head to the royal capital.
On the afternoon of the 33rd, a new bungalow was built outside the main castle of Roth Castle. This was the first steam engine room in the Land territory. Kuryagan, Jonny, Sofia and other girls, tested the use of steam to drive the blacksmith. A power hammer for paving, a beating tank for a paper mill, and a mill turntable.
"Sir, is this the steam power you are talking about?" Seeing the power hammer moving up and down under the action of the connecting rod, Kuryagan finally understood the mechanization that Lant was talking about.
"Yes, we can't just rely on the hands of those with demons or those without demons to complete all the processes." Lant looked at the steam constantly coming out of the boiler, thinking that he was about to take a hot bath, and felt very happy.
All the steam pipes used in the boiler were purchased from the Imperial Capital. The waste equipment and materials for the entire five space rings required messengers to continuously deliver the rings from the Imperial Capital to Lot.
"We still have time. We will take advantage of these few days to produce a few more sets of boilers and install them directly in Yeqi City." Looking at the continuously running steam engines, Sophia was full of confidence. "Maybe in the future, our workshop will People no longer need to do the beating and stirring work, they only need to operate the machine.”
"Maybe, but having power is not just about mechanization. The entire production process needs to be broken down into the simplest processes, and the effect that each process needs to achieve is determined, which is standardization."
"Standardization?" Sophia tasted Lant's words.
"It doesn't matter. In the future workshops, we can recruit some magic-free craftsmen and let them study these. You can develop more complex equipment that requires drawing runes or magic circles." The girls' magic workshop and the newly built steam The boiler gave Lant endless space for imagination. He believed that his future territory would be as prosperous as his hometown.
. . .
As his subordinates left one after another, and even the tents were moved together, Lant himself was free and continued to read the thousand-year-old books.
Every time he read it, Lant always felt that there was something wrong with the book, but Lant himself couldn't tell it. Until one night before leaving, under the light of the white moon, Lant felt the magic circle on the cover of the book. , there is some strange feeling.
After gently cutting open the edge of the cover with a knife, Lant found a piece of translucent paper embedded in it, which was a map of the Galloping Horse Plains.
Under the white moon, there are three vague traces on each of the east, west, and south-central parts of the plain on the map. The words "Ley Vein", "Iron Ore", "Salt Mine" and so on are all displayed together.
"There are ley lines in salt mines and iron mines?" Lant thought for a moment. It seems that the magic furnace in the salt mine is to provide energy in the ley lines, so there should also be a magic furnace in the iron mine. "Is this place in the middle Yeqi City? ?”
