Release that Witch

284. Chapter 284 Companionship

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

    FinallyThe treasury is full again.

    A total of eight steam engine deliveries to the three Families Chamber of Commerce, including three from the second factory in Crescent Moon Bay Chamber of Commerce, have to be said that the fjord craftsmen, whether gifted or able to learn more than the small town Miners and blacksmiths, Master machine tool operation, the finished product qualified rate straight up, perhaps another two months, second plant production capacity can catch up with a factory. Fortunately, according to the signed contract, the sales revenue of these machines is owned by Roland.

    In addition, he also got 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 his horizons. In addition to the single detection balloon, he also specially customized one can carry A giant balloon of three to four people is intended for exploration of the new island of the fjord.

    Together with the delivery of the first Stream Ship, the three brought a total of nearly 7,000 gold royal revenues to Border Town, and spent the purchase of metal ingots, washing stones and food, and the remaining 6,000 gold royals. Enough to prop up his population expansion plan.

    Roland called Barov and Iron Axe into the office.

    “With the money now, it is time to go to the field to recruit more people.”He looked at two effective players. “This action is coordinated by City Hall and the First Army. The specific personnel decide for yourself. I only explain the approximate task content.”

    “You please say.”Premier Minister nodded.

    “Enrollment 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, “especially the Eagle City to Port of Clear Water…I suspect that Timothy has treated these people as part of Garcia’s power and is a useless population that can be spent at will, so you have to grab them first. ”

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

    Iron Axe hesitant took a moment, “You mean…Strong pull? ”

    “Cough cough, there is no need to do that step,” Roland coughed twice. The style of Sandpeople was simple and rude. “For example, giving food, actively persuading, paying for living expenses in advance, etc.”He glanced at Barov. “You should be very clear about this set.”

    “Of course, my lord, when I was Kingdom capital, I helped the ministers and the patrols to suppress and appease the refugee riots,” the latter said with a beard, “their demands are simple, sometimes just to fill their stomachs, so there is no need to draw money or even mention pay–conditions too generous, They will have doubts. It’s a lot of trouble to be lonely. Although it’s no longer a problem, it’s no longer a sight, but it’s more knowledgeable and demanding. It’s not going to be a gimmick with us. At this time, we need money and promise to lure. ”

    Roland took two palms with satisfaction. “Unfortunately, Border Town has a lot of business, you can’t go in person, or the task will be completed.”

    “Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will send the most proud disciple.”Barov laughed. “When you build a city next year, the Scarlet Water River can be filled with residential houses.”

    “There will be such a day.”

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

    As soon as you enter the door, the first thing that comes into your eyes is the metal block that fills the floor.

    Roland picked up a piece in the palm of his hand—they were basically the same, about five centimeters long and wide, and the surface was not flat, like what was squeezed out, and one side was engraved with a number. For example, the piece in his hand is imprinted with the words “256”.

    “How, is there any better discovery?”

    “Nos. 1057 and 2284, one is exceptionally hard, and the other is excellent in hardness and toughness.”Anna greeted her and said, her face was full of bright smiles.

    “Do you have more than two thousand?”Roland was surprised that he took the record book that Lucia had handed over, and it was full of data. Found 2284 lines, found the number after the words “carbon content of 0.8%, the fourth unknown element 15.2%.”

    “Well, this is more interesting than cutting the barrel.” Anna blinked. “There is a mixture of other metals in the iron. It can make its nature change dramatically. I really want to know how these metal balls are.” Combined together.”

    The current explorations by Anna and Lucia are a far-reaching task.

    Roland first let the little girl break down the ore into a variety of raw materials, and then Anna mixed them with different mass ratios and pure iron to make the test piece and test its performance – by black fire extrusion and stretching, Anna It can distinguish the magnitude of the magic power consumed by each operation to determine its strength and toughness.

    The first thing added is obviously carbon.

    Roland knows that steel is essentially an iron-carbon alloy: carbon is more pig iron, no carbon is pure iron, carbon content can be called steel in a certain range, and a little fluctuation can greatly change the metal properties, so The first thing to measure is the size of this range.

    As can be seen from the records, before 1500, it was pure iron and carbon smelting, and after 1500, it began to join new elements on the basis of steel. Roland knows that every possible number of numbers in a permutation combination will multiply the number of possible results. This is an extremely long process, so he only lets Anna explore this part when the manufacturing task is not heavy.

    He encouraged two witches to sit aside and sat quietly admiring Anna’s busy back.

    Although the sunshine after the autumn is still bright, but there is no pungency in the summer season, he feels warm and full of body, a long-lost feeling of stability comes to mind.

    I don’t know how long it took, and the yard gradually calmed down. Suddenly he felt a soft hand in front of his forehead, and opened his half-eyed eyes. Lucia had disappeared, and Anna was sitting in front of him. “You have something to tell me.”

“……”

    “Your eyes tell me,” she said, and the tips of the hair hang down like a translucent gold thread.

    Roland hesitated, and finally shook his head helplessly. “I am just a little confused.”He told the population expansion plan roughly to the other side. “Compared to the initial free choice, now, in order to hurry up, some semi-inducing and semi-forced means have been used. Although this was done to prevent them from being forced by Timothy and finally succumbing to 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. ”

    “Does the purpose still not explain everything?”She asked softly.

    But,

    “I know what you want to say,” Anna grabbed the prince’s mouth. “You worry that they don’t appreciate it, and you can’t guarantee that the future will always be right. – The wrong purpose is used to achieve the right purpose. Misunderstanding, or correct means, has caused irreparable mistakes…You don’t know exactly whether the correct means is important or the correct result is important. Is that a fair assessment?

    “Don’t worry,” waited for him to answer, Anna had already posted, and both hands held Roland’s cheek and whispered in his ear, “I am there…I will look at you well. ”
