Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

Chapter 53 Letter and Blacksmith Shop

‘Ji Lin, Dear’

‘I don’t know what to say to you, but thank you. I talked to it for a long time. As for the work I am doing, I am sorry that I cannot tell you, but it still asked me to help you. ’

‘I also gave you something else, I hope you like it. ’

‘... I have nothing else to say. If the level is higher, maybe I can tell you more. ’

‘——Your loyal Senota’

This is what the system said... compensation? Will it provide him with help periodically... But he is really very curious about the characteristics and attributes of these two people.

Gifts from them, is that so...

Then the other one is...

‘Ji Lin, Dear’

‘Long time no see, sir. In my memory, we haven’t seen each other for decades. I don’t know how long it has passed in your time. I still miss you a little, but I am very happy to communicate with you again. It completely rejected my request for a meeting. I also prepared some gifts for you. This is my limit. Can’t I say this? ’

‘Look forward to the day when we meet again! ’

‘——Love you, Jeanna’

Two pieces of paper fell into his hands. Senotta’s handwriting was as steady as a printed font, while Jeanna’s handwriting was elegant and neat.

One cannot step into the same river at the same time...

He seemed to have stepped into an unknown river.

And Jeanna, is this a local way of expression? He remembered that in the games he had played, those who liked to write letters would always add some prefixes to themselves.

So, Jeanna actually wanted to express that she regarded herself as a family member? Weird.

Ji Lin gave up thinking.

She had been gone for decades, and he had only been out of the copy for more than ten days. He must not tell her that the system and he would always want to kill one of them.

There was no reply option, and both letters were one-way mail.

‘Unknown technology has been added to your project list—reaching a higher era has been unlocked. ’

‘The teacher support that you would have received after you completed the construction of the School of Engineering has now been upgraded to the support of a scientific research supervisor/dean. ’

He forgave half of the system.

It at least had a little conscience.

In the previous life, if a player's territory built such a large academy, it would cost a lot of money to recruit a dean from the post station or replace it with a level 5 official of the same level. When a large academy has a dean, he can start recruiting students from outside and make money from the indigenous civilization.

In the previous life, the academy-type city has always been a very popular type among the lords.

It provides jobs, gold output, scientific research output, a large number of talent training, technological progress, and a comprehensive and perfect bonus.

And an engineering college built in a pile of wooden houses is like... a primitive man waving an AK74.

The life in the territory also needs to be improved. The living standard of the territory should be mentioned. Although the current 100% tax rate model is very convenient to operate, the production capacity limit is still low, and it will lock the stability limit.

There is still a lot to do.

Returning to the territory with his own hunting, the long team has not seen any reduction. This task is in the entire process of Chongshan. He not only has to conduct arithmetic tests on these villagers with others, but the whole process will last for two days. They are really hard.

The next day, he visited the newly built blacksmith shop in the territory. The blacksmith shop could not forge the barrels of the musketeers he had before. They were seriously unqualified. The barrel exploded after three shots. Compared with hydrogen metallurgy, hand-made metal was so backward. The quality and output were completely incomparable.

This was not unexpected to him.

Ordinary gun barrels could not withstand the explosion of crystal ore powder. To withstand it, they could only make extremely thick barrel walls to prevent themselves from breaking, just like the ancient muskets. When the metal quality was unqualified, they would be small cannons. This meant that his batch of high-era musketeers could not be mass-produced due to the quality of the materials.

He had shown these crystal ores to the blacksmiths before and asked them what good plans they had for using these stones.

They all kept a distance from this translucent blue crystal stone that looked like quartz ore.

They seemed to think it was an expensive metal, but Ji Lin had no way to explain the principle of crystal ore to them. It was too difficult for a group of people who knew a little bit of words to learn the chemical formula of hydrogen combustion.

Until today, the quality of the gun barrels they produced was better than before, and they could be increased from three rounds to five rounds. He came here on a whim to take a look, hoping to get the latest progress.

"You mean, you use this thing directly as fuel."

Ji Lin showed a strange expression, looking at the blacksmiths who looked frightened and restrained.

"No, I don't mean to blame you at all."

His thinking was limited by the times, and his mind was full of hydrogen metallurgy, but he didn't remember that crystal ore was also used as high-energy fuel for steam engines in the copy of Steam and Steel, and as fuel, they also have extremely high calorific value.

Since it is fuel, why not use it directly as fuel.

Use it to burn fire.

He was extremely surprised that these blacksmiths could find this.

"Who found it?"

A blacksmith stood out from the crowd hesitantly. He was not wearing the coarse cloth clothes issued by the territory, but a somewhat tattered blacksmith robe.

"Yes, yes, Lord, I feel it is very similar to a coal mine. The coal in the coal mine is also so shiny and sparkling. We found that if it is ignited, it will slowly start to burn, and then the volume will become smaller. A piece as big as a fist can burn for half an hour."

Ji Lin nodded and patted his shoulder.

"Okay, you will be their leader in the future. I am very optimistic about you. Promote this method. You should continue to study how to burn this thing more safely and stably."

The blacksmith showed a surprised look on his panicked face. He thought he would be punished for this behavior.

Now it seems that the Lord is very happy?

In Ji Lin's sight, there are new attributes floating on the top of his blacksmith shop.

[Crystal ore fuel, blacksmith shop efficiency +35%, waste generation rate -20%]

[Extremely high calorific value fuel increases the temperature in the furnace, can be heated quickly, and make the metal melt faster]

35% efficiency bonus, very high.

Comfortable.

High-end energy often has the most simple way of use.

The crystal ore that can be grown with water and sunlight directly replaced the carbon cave that should have produced coal in this era, saving him a lot of resources and manpower, killing two birds with one stone.

After the efficiency of the blacksmith shop increased by 35%, his three blacksmith shops were almost equivalent to the four blacksmith shops of others.
