Luo Zhengdao was busy struggling to survive in the cracks, and he didn't have time to think about the long-term development, this time he defeated the Sage Bane in a big upset, and successfully deterred a vote of ill-intentioned pretenders, and after this difficult victory, he had plenty of time to ponder the future.

It is conceivable that Luo Zhengdao is very dissatisfied with the hardships of the people's livelihood under his rule, and he can't even guarantee the necessities of daily life, what future can he expect for such a country? Therefore, under the trade-off, the option of papermaking must be lit up. Luo Zhengdao, who has always been a man of action, decided to start work, and immediately gathered a group of craftsmen to study the papermaking process.

The technology of the old world cannot be copied in its entirety, because the basic materials are different, in order to screen out suitable raw materials for papermaking plants, Luo Zhengdao consulted two mage advisors in advance, and then selected a common wild hemp plant produced in the sea of stars. This plant, which is called "white hemp" by its natural name, grows on a desert island in succession, almost as much as a weed, and has a certain economic value, but because the fiber is so coarse, it is generally only used to make cheap thick cables, or mixed with putty as a filler for the cracks of ship boards, or so on, and it is a joke to say that it is used as a raw material for textiles.

"Zoff, how's the situation in pool No. 1?"

After the cleaning and screening process, the white hemp with impurities removed is cut into inch segments, soaked in a milky white pool with a large amount of lime, and after a long time of alkaline liquid soaking, the white hemp fiber itself contains little natural gum, and at the same time, it also absorbs enough water, paving the way for the next thrashing process.

Luo Zhengdao recalled the old world handmade papermaking process almost as much as possible, and frankly, he couldn't remember more technical details clearly. Before the crossing, he had only watched a few shots on the documentary channel. If you want to say that even this can be unforgettable, then Luo Zhengdao should be a successful person in the old world, obviously the answer is not so.

Fortunately, the research progress of papermaking is still in the exploration stage, no matter how many unreliable methods can be pulled out to try, as long as the most economical and effective part is found to form a complete set of production process, the final result is successful, and the previous time and money spent can not be regarded as a waste. In the final analysis, engaging in research and developing new technologies is a time-consuming and laborious gamble that does not necessarily lead to success, but those smart people who refuse to follow the rules and obediently climb the science and technology tree will be punished sooner or later if they want to ignore the calculation process and directly find out the correct answer and write it on the exam paper.

If you compare the right path to success to a bow, those who have been thinking about taking the bowstring route at the beginning will end up being proved by the ruthless reality that they have taken the farthest way to bow back, and in the long run, honest people will not suffer, this is also the way of heaven!

Knowing that scientific research is such a painful thing, Luo Zhengdao will not pursue how fast and easy to save is, in the final analysis, knowing what a product will look like in the end, and knowing how the product is produced, are two things that are incompatible.

Zoff Bock, the Grey Dwarf Craftsman, was one of the very few slaves who had saved up enough reward points early to become a freedman due to his outstanding performance, but he chose to stay and work for the humans after regaining his freedom. Minorities like the Grey Dwarves are oppressed and discriminated against wherever they go in the New World, and Wake Reef is relatively friendly to the aliens. At this time, Zoff said in a muffled voice:

"Lord Earl, all the plant fibers in the pool are scattered, can you start pounding?"

Hearing this, Luo Zhengdao remained silent noncommittally, leaned over and scooped up a few soft and white hemp wool from the pool, examined them carefully, nodded and said:

"Well, has the windmill been repaired?"

"The transmission device is being debugged, and there is a zài error in the accuracy of individual gears, and there is a misalignment in operation, so it is estimated that it should be repaired in the next two days."

What is Productivity? The simplest explanation for this problem is energy, which is the basis of productivity. The basis of the first industrial revolution in the old world was that coal-powered steam engines replaced water, manpower, and animal power, and the second industrial revolution was electric machinery, where power sources were separated from production departments, and factories could be set up anywhere instead of having their own bulky and bulky steam engines.

The proliferation of the Internet in the 21st century has transformed the social landscape of the old world, and this revolution has been touted by many as the Third Industrial Revolution, which is an exaggeration to put it mildly. However, after all, the Internet is to solve an interconnected information exchange problem, part of the optimization of the previous lag news caused by the distortion of the resource allocation structure, the problem is that for the third industrial revolution needs new energy, the contribution of the Internet is indeed not enough, if open source and reduce expenditure, the Internet at most is a contribution to throttling, open source also has to count on new energy.

By the time Luo Zhengdao crossed the road, the most promising impetus for change was controlled nuclear fusion, and when this new energy technology, which can provide almost infinite energy, is put into practical use, mankind will see what the real third industrial revolution will look like.

Wake Reef is a complete barren place, with no natural resources to be found here except for the endless yellow sand and the wind-eroded, strangely shaped stones. But let's not forget, there are always mixed pros and cons, and when the sun hits the six sites of Wake Reef and the nearby sea, the temperature rises very differently, creating an alternative resource.

Under the scorching sun during the day, all over the Gobi Desert Wake Reef, the air in 6 places is heated and rises, and the colder air on the surrounding sea surface will flow over to fill the space, so strong winds blow from the sea surface to 6 places.

At night, the cooling of the six places cools down quickly, and the temperature of the ocean remains even higher, and the wind blows to the sea in turn. In this way, the temperature difference between day and night can reach an average of more than 40 degrees, and Wake Reef has an inexhaustible wind resource. If this kind of feng shui treasure had been left in the old world, it is estimated that it would have been overwhelmed by wind power projects competing for financial subsidies. The residents of Wake Reef have not yet felt the value of the howling winds around them, but they have deeply experienced the series of troubles caused by the wind.

People have to be fully prepared to fight the strong wind and sand weather before going out every day, and the wide and fluffy white robes, scarves and masks are the daily necessities of the residents of Wake Reef, without which it is almost impossible to survive here.

Using wind power as a power source to drive windmills and mechanical devices to do work, this is something that ordinary people can't think of, and Luo Zhengdao, who is a traverser, will definitely not ignore it, how can he sit back and watch precious energy go to waste? Some time ago, he instructed his subordinates to develop several different styles of windmills, trying to replace the shortage of manpower with wind-driven machinery and equipment.

At this time, throwing the hemp fibers that had rotted into mud back into the pool, Luo Zhengdao bent down and patted the gray dwarf on the shoulder approvingly, and said with a smile:

"Well, good, let's get to work! Recently, I can't grab many merchant ships at sea, and the income from silk alone is not secure, and the paper business is very important, so you have to work hard! ”

"Poof! Boast! Boast! Puff ......"

The heavy and thick wooden hammer was lifted and lowered again, and the sound of the impact was so monotonous that it was a dream, and the blades of the windmills, several stories high, creaked and rattled in the wind. The wind is then transmitted through complex connecting rods, crankshafts and gears, which are converted into mechanical energy that drives the wooden hammer to beat the pulp over and over again, taking on the heavy and monotonous physical labor of the workers.

Walking slowly in the middle of this wooden hammer that rises and falls like an old-world oil field kowtow machine, Luo Zhengdao faintly felt a trace of the long-lost atmosphere of the industrial era, although this power is a little bit stronger, it can be regarded as mechanized, he nodded and said as he walked:

"Yes, you record the time of the pulp beating, and try to collect the number of jù for statistics, and see how long the beating is the best choice."

Hearing Luo Zhengdao say this, the red-faced Faure Chopin patted his chest and said:

"Yes, Lord Count, we will do as you instruct."

Out of the paper workshop, the glare of the sun reminds people that this land is not a pleasant place for health, and the factory area standing under a row of windmills looks more and more hot in the direct sunlight during the day. Not far away is the stone-walled harbor area, and after establishing a foothold in the inner 6 settlements, the Wick Reef harbor is not the humble facility that could be abandoned at will. The harbor was emerging from its pristine state of wooden piers and three or five berths, and large buildings including docks, warehouses and workshops were guarded by fortifications and bastions, and the stone-slabbed road between the port and the settlements was given a new look.

Referring to the original blueprint drawn by Luo Zhengdao's hand-painted exhibition, the harbor and city of Wake Reef present a standard dumbbell-shaped layout. This large man-made dumbbell is unusually thick at both ends, with a coastal port and dock on one end, and a subterranean greenhouse agricultural area on the other, and a well-designed semi-underground corridor connecting the two ends.

The walls of the boulders erected on both sides of the road were to prevent the wind-blown sand from burying the road and to prevent the invading enemy from sending a small number of troops to cut off the connection between the settlements and the port, and directly below the surface road was an underground tunnel that could be used for emergency military movements, from which the port area could also be reached.

In normal times, the tunnel was used as a water conduit and sewerage, and in times of emergency, heavily armed warriors could pass through it, a relegated fortified port that copied the layout of the ancient Athenian city of the Old World.

In the previous stage of combat operations, the goblin fleet suffered from these defenses armed to the teeth, and their repeated attacks not only did not get any bargain, but were struck hard by the pirates in the state of inner defense, but limited to the overall strength of the pirate fleet, the advantage on the local battlefield could not be transformed into greater results. A blow like this is far from enough to incapacitate the goblin fleet, and at best it can only be regarded as a bruise, and it is still 108,000 miles away from making the goblins unable to fight anymore!
