Chapter 63 Changes

The construction of Magic Web No. 1 is very smooth. On the one hand, Rebecca does have a good talent in this area. On the other hand, because the "Magic Web" uses basically the most basic rune arrangement, With his own computing power and creativity, the wild mage has almost simplified this incredible magic circle to the extreme, and even the materials required for the magic circle have been reduced to an unbelievable level - using quartz sand that can be bought by commoners. As the main material, the key nodes only need a little bit of mithril and obsidian as conductive materials, and the cost is completely within the affordability of today's Cecil Land.

After all, the wild mage at the time was extremely poor, and if he hadn't simplified the magic net to this level, he wouldn't have been able to come up with this set of things at all.

But the smooth progress of a project means that the pressure related to the project will follow——

In Gawain's vision, the territory must first ensure sufficient steel production. With steel, there will be weapons, equipment, tools for labor and infrastructure for manufacturing next-level products, and only smelting facilities will be built. It is only the first step, and the more important thing is to complete the construction of the eastern mining area to ensure a continuous supply of ore.

The construction of the mine requires more materials. In the absence of heavy machinery and equipment, and only relying on manpower to dig rocks, it also requires more manpower.

At the same time, the construction of the camp must also be accelerated. It is only an expedient measure to replace the tent with a wooden house. A truly sturdy and stable camp cannot be built with wood, but is there any more convenient and fast construction technology and construction materials in this era? ?

After putting things in front of him, Gawain realized how difficult it is to start a family from scratch. Even with the assistance of magic and a temporary worry-free fund reserve, it is not easy to build a new home on a piece of white land.

At this time, he couldn't help but look forward to the batch of aid promised by Francis II - food and cloth is one aspect, and more importantly, the one hundred craftsmen and apprentices, one hundred people, even if many of them were excluded because of exclusion And the unfortunate people who were forced to come to the south to open up wasteland are also a hundred technical talents!

What is the concept of 100 technical talents for Cecil's territory with a total population of more than 800 today?

It was a concept that could make Gawain fall asleep and wake up with a smile, while the soldiers on duty at the door were startled.

Unfortunately, it will take more than half a month at the earliest.

Speaking of talents, Gawain thought that it had been two days since Amber set off... There is still no movement yet. Speaking of which, the shame of all things, who has no integrity, shouldn't he really abscond with a few gold bars and money?

In the big tent in the center of the camp, Gawain had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and tried to focus on the drawings and tables in front of him, while Betty was sitting on the cushion not far away, his head bit by bit. Dozing off.

The blueprint in front of Gawain was a new type of furnace he was designing—it had a similar shape and partial structure to the blast furnace on Earth, but the internal operating mechanism was completely different, and space had to be reserved for the magic circle to function. , and also consider that the magic guide structure on the furnace is as close as possible to the "Magic Web No. 1" buried in the ground, and also consider that the molten iron cannot destroy the magic pattern of the furnace body...

This is something completely different from the magic net and the waterwheel. Gawain must combine the knowledge of the two worlds to complete this design. If the "magic net" is the cornerstone of Cecil's territory, then the design of the Such a peculiar "Mixed Furnace" was Gawain's "foundation" for himself.

Gawain is very clear that only after completing it, will many wild ideas in his mind be realized, and no one can help him in this regard.

He completed the design of the combustion chamber and the molten iron drainage part, and reserved space for drawing the magic circle based on Gawain Cecil's knowledge, then rubbed his forehead and stretched out his hand: "Betty, help me put the drawing on that one. 's sheepskin bag...the one with the red string.

"

There was no response from the side, only the slight snoring sounded. Turning her head, she saw that the sleepy little maid had already curled up in a small ball on the mat and was sleeping soundly.

It seems that it is indeed a very boring thing to let her sit here with him.

Gawain shook his head dumbfoundedly, and was about to get up to get the sheepskin bag, but saw Betty suddenly crawling up with closed eyes, then dazedly walked to the corner of the tent, opened the box, took out the sheepskin bag, and shook it again. Leisurely walked up to yourself...

I almost didn't open my eyes during the whole process...

Gao Wen took the sheepskin bag with a lot of fun, and while putting away the drawings, he looked at Betty's efforts to open his eyes: "Go to sleep first if you're sleepy, I might have to work for how long."

Betty finally woke up at this time, and shook her head with all her eyes open: "I'm not sleeping, the master is not sleeping, I'm not sleeping!"

Then she lowered her head and looked at the drafts that Gao Wen put on the table, as if she was very serious. Seeing this, Gao Wen was a little curious: "Can you understand these?"

"I don't understand..." Betty shook her head, "I can't read..."

"Oh, then you must be very boring to see this," Gao Wen laughed, "No wonder he fell asleep just now."

"I didn't sleep!" Betty shook her head quickly, and then her eyes drifted involuntarily to those drafts full of words, "Master, you know a lot of words..."

She was so sleepy just now, but looking at the drafts on the table at this time, her sleepiness seemed to have passed, which made Gawain find it interesting, so he tried to ask: "Do you want to recognize words? ?"

Betty nodded subconsciously, but then shook her head nervously, pinching a button on her maid's uniform: "Mrs. Hansen said that maids can't read, just work hard."

"That's all unreasonable, everyone can read and write!" Gawain corrected immediately, and then said on a whim, "If you want to learn, I can teach you."

Betty's eyes couldn't help but float to the papers again, but this time she shook her head before nodding: "But Knight Philip said that the pen and paper on the territory are precious and can't be wasted on me..."

Gawain was stunned for a moment, just about to say that there is a lot of paper here anyway, but then he realized that Knight Philip's statement also has a certain truth - he cannot be self-sufficient in the territory, and the traffic with Tanzan Town can only rely on In the case of messengers traveling on horseback, these materials are really used a little less, and it is indeed a luxury to practice calligraphy for Betty.

What's more, I don't know if this girl can really learn, what if she's just joking?

But looking at the dazed appearance of the little girl, Gawain couldn't help laughing: "You wait here for a while."

He ran to pick up a branch and came back, and brushed it with his hand. Under the action of the knight's power, all the burrs and forks were cleaned up, and then he used a knife to trim one of the ends. After a while, he handed it to Betty: "Let's practice on the ground first, and then talk about it when you're done."

Betty took the branch in a daze, and saw Gawain turn around and pick up a piece of paper on the desk to write, and soon wrote a "copybook" - a large number on the yellow rough paper. The stylus is written with the basic alphabet, and there is a huge word below it.

Gawain handed this piece of paper to Betty: "This is the alphabet on the top, and the bottom is your name, just practice - ask me if you can."

Betty reacted, and then took it as a treasure, and almost snot bubbled out of her nose with joy.

There was still land in the tent, but it was compacted. Gawain set aside a place for Betty next to his desk as an area for her to practice calligraphy.

After helping the little girl loosen the ground, he went back to his desk, while the little maid squatted beside him and began to practice the basic letters awkwardly.

It looks pretty similar.

Gawain flashed a text he had learned in his previous life in his mind, then shook his head and smiled. After this little episode, he felt that his spirit was relaxed a lot, and his thinking became active again, so he took out another draft and prepared to solve another problem.

But this quiet atmosphere didn't last long. After a while, Gawain heard a loud noise from outside the tent.

He comforted Betty and let the little girl practice calligraphy here, and then walked out of the tent quickly.

Knight Byron was also running towards this side, and seeing the slightly anxious expression on his face, Gawain knew that something had changed.

When the other party came to the front, without waiting for the knight to speak, Gawain took the initiative to ask: "What's going on?"

"My lord, the soldiers stationed in the treasury in the mountains reported that they heard strange movements in the treasury, like the sound of rock walls rubbing or something colliding - but the door of the treasury was blocked, and they could not enter and could not confirm. The situation in the treasury has no choice but to send the news first."

What's wrong with that ruin? !

Gawain admitted that he really broke out in a cold sweat at this moment: Everything is easy to say, the treasure house must not go wrong!

That's the real coffin book!

But then he calmed down: If the news came earlier, I'm afraid he would be more panicked, but fortunately these days, he has been arranging for people to transfer the urgent supplies in the treasure hoard to the camp one after another. Although Not all of them have been moved out, but at least a third of them have been shipped out. Even if the treasure trove is really in trouble, even if the whole thing collapses, it will not hurt to death...

All in all, after some self-comfort, Gawain completely calmed down—and now that it was dark, Byron probably didn't notice the cold sweat on his forehead just now.

The image of the ancestors has been preserved.jpg.

Gawain weighed whether to set off immediately to check the situation or wait until the daytime tomorrow, and quickly came to a conclusion: sleep paralysis! With this kind of thing hanging in my heart, who can fall asleep? ! I'm afraid that Rebecca's mentality will collapse!

"The defense of the camp is handed over to Knight Philip. You can find some shrewd and capable soldiers and go to the mountains with me-and also call Heidi, her auxiliary spells should be useful."
