Release that Witch Chapter 284: Companionship

After the caravan left, Roland became released a long breath.

Finally ... the vault is full again.

A total of eight steam engine units were delivered to the three families Chamber of Commerce, three of which were produced by the No. 2 factory assisted by the Crescent Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce. I have to say that these artisans from the fjords are far more talented or learned than small town miners With the blacksmith, after mastering the operation of machine tool, the qualified rate of the finished product has skyrocketed. Maybe in another two months, the production capacity of the second plant can catch up with the first plant. Fortunately, according to the signed contract, the sales revenue of these machines belongs to Roland.

In addition, he also received a new hot air balloon purchase order from Crescent Moon Bay Caravan. Marlan is very interested in this kind of thing that can greatly expand the field of vision. In addition to a single-person reconnaissance balloon, a custom-made one that can carry three to A giant balloon for four people, intended for exploring new islands in the fjord.

In addition to the delivery of the first Stream Ship, the three together brought nearly 7,000 gold royal revenues to Border Town. The cost of purchasing metal ingots, washing stones, and food was planed, and the remaining 6,000 gold royal was sufficient. Propped up his population expansion plan.

Roland called Barov and Iron Axe into the office.

"Now that we have enough money, it's time to recruit more people in other places." He looked at the two capable workers. "This time, the action was jointly carried out by City Hall and First Army. The specific personnel decide for yourself. I will only explain. Probable task content. "

"Please speak." Prime Minister nodded.

"Recruitment is divided into two directions, north and southern region." Roland pulled a map from the table and spread it out in front of the two people, "especially the line from Eagle City to Port of Clear Water ... I suspect Timothy has regarded these people as A part of the Garcia forces belongs to the useless population that can be consumed at will, so you must first draw them over.

"The team sent by City Hall is responsible for recruiting noble, craftsmen and other literate people, and the main task of First Army is to recruit civilians, which is different from the previous propaganda. This method should be more proactive. Do you understand what I mean?"

Iron Axe hesitant for a moment, "You mean ... strong pull?"

"cough cough, there is no need to do that step," Roland coughed twice, and the style of Sandpeople was really simple and rude, "such as distributing food, proactively persuading, paying living expenses in advance, etc." He glanced at Barov, "This You should be clear on the set. "

"Of course, Your Highness, I have assisted the Minister and patrols many times in Kingdom Capital to suppress and appease refugee riots," said the latter with a beard. "Their requirements are simple, sometimes they just fill their stomachs. It ’s no need to use coins to attract them, or even to mention that if the salary conditions are too generous, they will have doubts. The downturned noble is a lot of trouble. Although it is currently in short supply and the scenery is no longer, it is knowledgeable and demanding. They will travel thousands of miles with us for a gimmick, and then we need to seduce with money and promise. "

Roland took two palms with satisfaction. "It's a pity that Border Town has a lot of business. You can't go there in person, otherwise this task will be successfully completed."

"Please be assured, Your Highness, I will send my most proud disciple to go." Barov laughed, "It will be good to have resident houses on both sides of the Scarlet Water River until the city is built next year."

"There will be such a day."

After the two retired, Roland rested on the back of the chair for a while, and decided to go to Northern Slope backyard to see Anna.

As soon as you enter the door, the first thing that catches your eye is the metal cubes on the ground.

Roland picks up a piece and puts it in the palm of the hand, they are basically similar in length, about 5 cm in length and width, and the surface is not flat, like it has been squeezed by anything, and one number is engraved on one side. For example, the piece in his hand is engraved with the number 256.

"How is it? Are there any better discoveries?"

"No. 1057 and No. 2284, one is exceptionally hard, the other is excellent in both hardness and toughness." Anna said welcoming, with a bright smile on his face.

"Is it more than two thousand?" Roland was surprised. He took the logbook from Lucia, which was densely filled with data. A line of 2284 was found, and the carbon content was found to be 0.8% after the number, and the unknown element number 4 was 15.2%.

"Yeah, this is much more interesting than cutting the barrel," Anna blinked, "doping other metals into the iron block can make its properties change dramatically, I really want to know that these metals are small How the **** fit together. "

The exploration that Anna and Lucia are currently doing is a profound work.

Roland first let the little girl decompose the ore into a variety of raw materials, and then Anna mixed them with pure iron at different mass ratios and smelted them. After making test blocks, their properties were tested by black fire extrusion and stretching. Anna can distinguish the size of magic power consumed by each operation, so as to judge its strength and toughness.

The first thing that was added was obviously carbon.

Roland Although it is known that the nature of steel is an iron-carbon alloy: more carbon is pig iron, no carbon is pure iron, and the carbon content can be called steel within a certain range, and a small fluctuation can greatly change the metal properties , So the first thing to measure is the size of this range.

It can be seen from the records that before 1500, it was pure iron and carbon smelting, and after 1500, it began to joining new elements based on steel. Roland is clear. Each additional number in the permutation and combination will multiply the possible results. This is a very long process, so he only allowed Anna to explore this part when the manufacturing task is not heavy.

He encouraged the two witchs to sit aside and quietly enjoy the busy back of Anna.

Although the sun is still bright after the autumn, he is no longer in the hot summer season. He feels warm all over his body, and a long-lost sense of stability comes to his heart.

I don't know how long it has been before, the yard is quieting down gradually. Suddenly he felt a soft hand on his forehead and opened his eyes half-opened. Lucia was no longer visible, and Anna was sitting in front of him. "You have something to tell me."

"..."

"Your eyes told me," she tilted her head, and tips of the hair hangs down naturally, like strands of translucent gold.

Roland hesitated for a while, and finally shook his head helplessly, "I'm just a little confused." He told the other people about the population expansion plan, "Compared to the original free choice, now, in order to hurry up, I have used I used some semi-seductive and semi-compulsive methods. Although this was done to prevent them from being forced by Timothy and finally killed by the erosion of the pills, I can seriously think that what I did is not too far away from him ... The only difference is the purpose. "

"Can't the purpose tell everything?" she asked softly.

"But ..."

"I know what you want to say," Anna hid the prince's mouth. "You worry that they don't appreciate it, and at the same time you can't guarantee that the future purpose will always be the right way to achieve the right purpose. Misunderstood, or the right means have caused irreparable errors ... You don't know whether it is the right means important or the correct result important. Am I right? "

"Don't worry," without waiting for him answer, Anna has been pasted, both hands holding Roland's cheek, and whispering in his ear, "I'm here ... I will look at you well." (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
