Arcane Universe

When Feng Chou entered the manor, it was plowing in the spring. In the endless fields, more than ten large three-shaft heavy plows pulled by four Shire horses were flying in the fields.

This kind of three-shaft heavy plow looks a bit like a carriage from a distance. There are two huge subway wheels on both sides of the heavy plow, and three large-sized plows are installed on the axle between the iron wheels. Three huge plows were inserted into the soil at the same time to plow the land deeply. On the top of the plows, a driver’s seat was installed. The farmer sat on the driver’s seat and pulled the horse’s reins to control the four Sharma horses to move forward or turn.

According to Universe Pagoda calculations, the efficiency of this large three-shaft heavy plow is ten times that of Earth’s traditional double-bull barrow-type tiller in rural China.

Of course, half of this efficiency can be attributed to the strong Sharma, but the new heavy plow is also indispensable.

With these new agricultural technologies, new fertilizers, and new irrigation technologies, fewer people can cultivate more land, and land fallow is not necessary, and land utilization has been greatly improved. The output of land has also increased substantially.

These changes have promoted the development of cities. While a large number of rural surplus laborers have poured into cities, they have also provided cities with more food.

Looking at the three-shaft heavy plow in the farmland, Feng Chou couldn’t help feeling that this World is too big. In a big city like Casalanca, there are signs of industrialization. , But in the remote Antalia, it is still in the late feudal era.

Technological innovations have also increased the benefits of land. Take Wood Manor as an example. If it is operated in a traditional way, this manor can only bring about 13 kilograms of income at most. But after a series of technological reforms, the territory’s annual income can exceed 20,000 crowns.

Of course, new technology naturally means new investment. For example, there are more than ten large-scale plows, and the Sharma that pulls them. Each set costs five kilograms, more than a dozen sets. It will cost six to seven million kronor down.

Feng Chou has a lot of money in his hands, and he can invest such a large sum of money at will. The ordinary Jazz can’t bear such a large sum of money to buy a plowshare.

Even if it is a territory hosting commercial company, it is necessary to purchase a batch of heavy plows to supply a large area for rotation.

In addition to plowshares, the use of new alchemical fertilizers can not only eliminate the fallow of the land, but also greatly increase the output of the land, but half of the increased output will go to the alchemy of fertilizers. Go to the factory.

……

After Feng Chou arrived at the manor, he immediately announced his plan to build a magic laboratory.

His plan caused a strong backlash from Chapman Steward.

Feng Chou can understand Chapman’s strong reaction. Anyone whose home is destroyed by a magic experiment will probably leave an indelible shadow on this thing.

But it also made Feng Chou a bit of a headache, because next he had to choose the direction of magic to be the necromancer. In the future, he would definitely need to study necromancer.

In order to retain Chapman, the excellent steward, Feng Chou had to make a guarantee that the laboratory is only a low-level laboratory, the risk factor is not high, and that he will never do experiments involving the necromancer .

Feng Chou was very satisfied with Chapman’s performance. Although the victim of magic firmly opposed Feng Chou’s establishment of a magic laboratory in the domain, when the lord’s idea was determined, he Can also do full cooperation.

Chapman personally went to the secret technique block of the Eye of Soth and found a well-known magic construction company. From there, he hired a magic engineering team specializing in the construction of magic laboratories.

This is a construction team headed by an intermediate mage, several primary level mage backbones, several architects, more than a dozen masons, and more masons.

Feng Chou chose the construction site of the magic laboratory on the opposite side of the river.

To Feng Chou’s surprise, Chapman again objected to the location of his magic laboratory. He thought it was inconvenient and unsafe to build the magic laboratory outside the manor. His suggestion was , Excavate a basement under the central garden of the manor as a magic laboratory, and connect it to the master’s study or living room through a tunnel.

Feng Chou is very satisfied with this suggestion. This shows once again that although Chapman opposes the construction of a magic laboratory, he can still stand in the position of the master and carefully plan the things he once opposed.

However, Feng Chou rejected Chapman’s suggestion. He said that he is likely to live in the laboratory for a long time in the future. Putting the laboratory in the basement is not easy for his physical and mental health.

As for the security that the other party is worried about, it is completely unnecessary. What he is going to build is a fortress-like magic laboratory, whose defensive is definitely much stronger than a villa-like manor.

The other side of the river bend is also the territory of Wood Manor. Because of the high terrain, it is difficult to irrigate, so not at all was developed into farmland, which is still a barren woodland.

The location of the new laboratory that Feng Chou chose is on a soil slope one mile away from the other side of the river. There is the highest point of the terrace on the other side of the river, which is more than 20 meters higher than the foundation of the manor. You can overlook the entire Wood Manor.

According to Feng Chou’s plan, the magic engineering team will first build a small wharf on the other side of the river, and then build a stone pavement, leading to the magic fortress.

The so-called fortress magic laboratory is actually a low-end version of the mage tower.

The magic fortress is designed as a 4-Layer stone tower. The first floor of the stone tower is the living room, the second floor is the living room and dining room, and the third floor is Master’s bedroom, lounge and recreation room, 4-Layer It is a real magic laboratory.

There is a laboratory in the basement of the magic fortress, which is a bondage room for the mage to study Summoning Spell.

The cost of the entire magic fortress is around one million crowns.

Before coming to Wood Manor, Feng Chou changed his status and turned the magic gold coin in his hand into cash, and exchanged it into a money order from Woking Bank.

In order to ensure the safety of the magic fortress, Feng Chou also spent an additional 200,000 crowns to purchase two fleshy body golems.

The fleshy body golem is said to be the oldest golem, the basic version of all golems, and the battle strength is also the weakest among the golems.

This golem is made from the corpses of powerful creatures, so it does not have the indestructible body of a steel golem, but it has the agility and agility that ordinary steel golems do not have. .

When this kind of agile golem puts on heavy armor, coupled with the iconic ability that all golems have, it is extremely difficult to deal with when it is immune to magic.

The fleshy body golem almost has the battle strength of a high-level warrior, which is a bit extravagant for a low-level mage fortress.

Two fleshy body golems, plus the magic traps of the mage fortress itself, are enough to block a small number of high-level professionals.
