Chapter 947 Return of the Eastern Front Army

After finalizing the remuneration, Roland planned to knock down another wall on the road to great development.

That is to develop standard units.

The popular education work in Neverwinter has already incorporated distance units such as millimeters, centimeters, meters, and kilometers into teaching materials to replace the original inches, feet, and feet, and it is quite effective so far. Particularly in the construction and industrial production sectors, measuring instruments made with the new units have gained widespread acceptance as they are more accurate.

The one centimeter reference prototype, which is an iron bar equivalent to the width of Roland's fingernail, is kept in the castle study.

What he has to do next is to integrate other units and promote them throughout Graycastle.

The reason why we are taking this step now is that firstly, the previous production and education levels do not have urgent demand for other new units, and secondly, it is difficult to replicate technically.

After all, there is no point in having standards. If measuring instruments cannot be made, people will not be able to use them in real life.

But these difficulties are no longer a problem now.

For example, a container of one cubic decimeter is defined as one liter, and the weight of one liter of water is defined as one kilogram; another example is that the period of one swing of a one-meter-long pendulum is defined as one second... The former can be accurately measured using hummingbirds Replicate the original kilogram of equal weight, which can provide timekeeping through a pendulum clock. As long as the original equipment and models are available, the factories in Neverwinter can produce a large number of imitations.

Otherwise, relying on Anna alone to handle all the measurement tools would be a waste of time and energy.

When industrial technology reaches a certain level, the popularization of more precise measurement units becomes a matter of course.

He is not worried that these standards are not "pure" enough. In fact, the standard prototypes used in human history are constantly changing with the progress of the times.

…

Three days later, Iron Ax finally led the Eastern Front Army back to Neverwinter City. Also arriving at the same time was the response that had been waiting at Clear Water Port for nearly half a year.

Roland looked at the two sand people reporting to him at the desk and felt a little sigh in his heart - both of them were originally criminals from the exiled family. One lived incognito in Border Town and made a living by hunting; the other was sold into slavery. , living a tortured life. But now, they are an indispensable member of Neverwinter City's top management.

After shouldering heavy responsibilities alone and being busy outside for several months, Tie Axe's face did not show the slightest trace of fatigue. Instead, he became energetic because of the war, and his every move had the air of a general. The change in Echo was even more obvious. The shadow caused by her slave life gradually faded away. There was a confident luster in her blue-gray eyes, and her temperament became more and more consistent with her status as the head of the Aosha clan.

Sure enough, experience can change a person the most.

The report from Huiyin was very simple. The Kuangyan Clan had fulfilled their agreement, and the first batch of relocation teams had been stationed at Bishui Port. Influenced by the first clan in Iron Sand City, several smaller clans approached her and expressed their willingness to serve the chief. The whole plan went very smoothly. After receiving the clan leaders from all parties, the relocated population of Bishui Port is expected to reach 30,000 by the end of the year, which is already comparable to the number of people in the old royal capital.

In addition, she also brought a handwritten letter from Speer, the lord of Falling Dragon Ridge. She knew without reading that he must have come to ask for food.

"Spere said that she is just the manager of a small fiefdom and has no experience in taking care of so many people. She is almost exhausted right now." Echo imitated the other party's tone and said, "Sent from the city hall--0 ---0---Xiao--Said---This is the gorgeous dividing line--Let go of that witch. 00 novel netizens please remind: Please pay attention to resting your eyes when reading for a long time. Recommended reading of 00 novel: Paradise of Paradise- 0--0---Little--said---this is a gorgeous dividing line---although it is easy to use for experienced people, according to their suggestions, at least two to three hundred clerks are needed to accommodate so many migrants. If Your Majesty doesn't pay more attention to her, she will have the urge to drop her burden and run to Neverwinter City to become an ordinary witch."

Roland couldn't help but chuckle. Ordinary witches are not free. Soraya and Ye Zi are looking at you. If you don't use up all your magic power every day, how can you be worthy of such a useful ability as the magic channel? "I understand. I will give more to the next batch of new officials who pass the review. You have worked hard on this mission, so take a good rest for a few days."

"Yes." She bowed first, and then said expectantly, "By the way, Your Majesty, do you have... any new music composed recently?"

"Uh, can you sing the previous ones?"

"Well... they are very effective, especially when it comes to inspiring the crowd." Huiyi replied with a smile, "And when I was confused, I would also sing the songs you taught me - if it weren't for those songs, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive this day.”

It seems that coordinating the relationship between clans and maintaining order in the south is not as simple as she reported, but she has borne the difficulties and setbacks alone.

"I understand," Roland said slowly, "I will find someone to copy the new songs and send them to your room."

Huiyin bent down deeply and said, "That's great, thank you!"

Even if he knew nothing about music, he could still search for it in the dream world. He would not be able to say no to such a request.

After hearing the news, Roland turned his attention to Iron Ax.

"You worked hard too."

"No, Your Majesty," the latter quickly said, stroking his chest, "It is my duty to fight for you. Not only do I not feel any hardship, I actually enjoy it."

"Really?" Roland smiled and said noncommittally, "What happened to the nobles who fled to Haifeng County? You won't burn them all again, right?"

"I wanted to do this, but it's a pity that they ran too fast," Tie Ax said sternly. "After the Golden Spike City was cleared and the First Army arrived at Haifeng County, the suburbs had turned into a wasteland. Not only that, the city There are also several granary fires here - it's clear they would rather destroy the town than leave it intact in your hands."

This was probably the last revenge of the remnant party that rebelled against the king. He thought to himself, if the Eastern Front Army had not been fully prepared and there were dozens of cement transport ships working day and night to provide supplies, the attack here would have been impossible immediately. retreat. Otherwise, the city residents who were short of food would regard the First Army as a target for robbery. Once they were shot and suppressed, order would be difficult to restore.

"Where have they all fled?"

"Some went to the fjords, and some went to the other three kingdoms," Iron Ax replied with regret. "It's a pity that the First Army does not have sea ships, otherwise I would never let them go."

"Don't worry, as long as they dare to use their original surname, I will deal with them sooner or later." Roland said slowly. At least those who fled to the morning light were no different from the flying insects that had fallen into a trap. This group of people was probably Tifeko's last loyalists. He wasn't worried that the other party would come back. He just wanted to eradicate them because they were an eyesore.

After asking about the aftermath measures in the Eastern Territory, Roland suddenly thought of a previous question.

"By the way, tricking the nobles into jail and then pretending to be a fire and burning them... Is this the method you came up with?"

Iron Ax's expression suddenly became stiff.
