Chapter 0133: Good Afternoon, Galtai
The Liszt telescope is divided into two types: the long tube is a telescope used to observe the moon, and the magnification can reach more than 30 times, and the short tube is a portable telescope that he plans to build for the knights' squad, which can be stretched, and the magnification is about 15 times at most.
Twenty concave and convex lenses can only form one pair of long tubes and three pairs of short tubes, and the rest of the lenses are unqualified.
He threw the lenses to Carter: "Mr. Carter, look for them and see which pair of lenses can magnify the image, and then you can use it to read a book." β
Carter is old and has poor eyesight, so wouldn't it be nice to have a magnifying glass for him.
One pair of long barrels, left in the castle, three short barrels, one for Liszt, one for Marcus's knights' squad, and one for Karl's patrols.
End of this assignment.
Originally, Liszt also planned to keep the crystal craftsman Brad with a high salary, but the other party refused without hesitation - although Flower Town is developing greatly, compared to Coral City, the gap is still huge, and it can't attract these freeman craftsmen with good social status.
The same.
Isaiah's family had visited him in Flower Town, but when Isaiah persuaded them to stay, they didn't hesitate to refuseβhis son even said, "What kidding, there's not even a brothel here!"
Galtai's family also came to visit the town of flowers, stayed for two days, and then left.
Anyway, he is also a nobleman, and his children and grandchildren live okay, and he doesn't want to live in the countryside. His wife intended to settle in Flower Town, but Galtai refused on the high ground that Flower Town was too barren to make her suffer.
In fact, he was afraid that the other party would find out about Freya's existence - Freya's little belly was already bulging.
"My lord, I heard that you have invented a telescope that can see far away?" Captain Costo, after hearing the news, hurried to the castle, "I wonder if the Flower can be equipped with a pair of telescopes? β
Very reasonable request.
Liszt was a little entangled, the telescope suitable for navigation was probably the castle's long-barreled "Liszt Telescope", but this was the equipment he used to explore the universe.
After thinking about it, he said: "Captain Costo, you go back to train your sailor apprentices first, the logging team will soon open the road to the dock, and Flower Town's own dock is about to be built, you can familiarize yourself with the situation near the dock first." As for telescopes, there will be. β
Send away Costo.
Liszt took out a piece of crystal with a little pain and handed it to Thomas: "When the Flower Town transport team comes back, give it to the person in charge, and tell him to ask Brad Crystal Craftsman to carve two sets of No. 3 and No. 17 lenses." "No. 3 and No. 17 lenses are lens models that combine long tubes.
The matter of the telescope, for Liszt, was more like a joke.
After researching it, not long after playing with it, he actually had no interest in telescopes - he looked at the moon and stars all day long, and he couldn't see any secrets of the universe's operation.
So.
He took Shake Sen out to inspect the work of the logging team.
To the north of the dairy farm, there is a large area of thorn bushes, here is an area covered by thorn cordyceps, in addition to ordinary thorns, the most are fast-growing varieties of thorns - including fast-growing poisonous thorns and fast-growing thorns - thorn insect chain quests, I don't know if there is a follow-up.
Further northeast of the thorn bush is the site of the logging team.
The scene was in full swing.
Smoke billowed from the air.
Countless serfs sweated and cut down big trees. Some people cut down tree trunks with axes, some people sawed branches with saw blades, some people took machetes to chop branches and leaves, and some people stacked tree trunks together, and the branches were stacked together, and the leaves were taken away and burned on the spot.
Burning fires is not only to intimidate wild beasts and demonic beasts, but also to hoard grass and wood ashes and compost them when reclaiming wasteland in the future.
Clerks and patrol members constantly shuttled among the serfs, scolding and scolding at every turn, urging the serfs to work seriously. Galtai, Isaiah, Blair, and Carr, each commanding a large group of serfs to maintain order on the scene. Marcus led a squad of knights and carefully patrolled the perimeter.
Seeing Liszt coming, Galtai trotted over: "Good afternoon, my lord." β
"Good afternoon, Mr. Galtai. Liszt greeted, "A quarter of the town's population should be cut down trees here, how long do you think it will take to cut down all the trees in Thorn Ridge?"
"If we had enough tools, it would only take twenty days, no, maybe two weeks. But there are not enough tools, my lord, many people share an axe, a saw blade and a machete, which is too delaying. Even if the serfs enthusiastically respond to your call, they will not be able to exert their full strength. β
"I've asked the flower caravan to buy tools from various cities, the iron is too expensive, and the bones are too brittle...... I hope that my father can plunder a batch of iron ore, otherwise the current situation of iron shortage on Coral Island will never be solved. β
There are no metals, no gems, and there are few elves.
The reason why the aristocracy is keen on the mainland to fight for the island, rather than staying on the island, is often forced to do so. If they had the vision of a prophet, they might have developed technology to bridge the gap, but they didn't, so they had to plunder resources from the mainland to make up for the gap.
The reason why the Eagle Kingdom has been repeatedly harassed by the Sapphire Kingdom is because they have a white-mouthed iron dragon that can produce a large amount of iron ore.
Steel is probably the most practical of all metals.
Therefore, as long as the Iron Ridge Kingdom called for battle, the Grand Duke of Sapphire immediately issued a pioneering order, and the nobles rushed up in a swarm - burning, killing, and robbing.
Liszt sometimes wondered, "Why do I always think that the Grand Duchy of Sapphire is a widow from another world?"
Relying on his own overseas country and a developed fleet, he recklessly attacked the kingdoms on the mainland. Grab it and run, repeat this script every year, Meizizi. Although there is no technical content, it is still successful every year, and the Count has been to the mainland I don't know how many times.
Little by little, it has accumulated such a large family base as Coral Island.
"My lord, due to logging work, the construction of the town and the construction of roads have been suspended for the time being. The autumn harvest is about to begin, and there may not be enough manpower in Damaitun and Maitun. β
"When the harvest date is confirmed, it is not too late to send people back. Liszt suddenly thought of something, and glanced at Galtai, "Teacher Galtai, how long have you followed me to Flower Town?"
Galtai was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Your Excellency divided the Baron of Flower Town on March 9th, set off the next day, and arrived at Flower Town in the afternoon of the same day, today is September 23rd, and it has been six months and two weeks. β
"Six and a half months, in a flash. β
"But the flower town now is definitely not the flower town of six months ago, and it exudes vigor everywhere. β
"That's right, the development of Flower Town, I am very satisfied. Liszt rode the dragon horse, walking slowly, the world in front of him has become one with himself, "The most satisfying thing for me is the change of mind, Mr. Galtai, six months ago, you drank all day long, and now you know that you finish your work first, and then drink, and even delay drinking for work." β
Galtai smiled embarrassedly: "When you get older, people will always slack off, fortunately I came to Flower Town, and I regained the confidence and hard work of my youth." β
"I'm glad about the changes in you. β
Liszt looked into the distance and said, "Maybe in a few days, a group of five hundred serfs will arrive, and I need you to make a resettlement plan." It is not enough to arrange the serfs alone, but to plan for the future of Flower Town as a whole, as a consultant. β
Hear the word "consultant".
Galtai's pupils dilated.
